Cheng Jing let go of his hand and said earnestly, "Son, it's okay if you take a little more, just take care of yourself."
V5V5V5......
The sound of sirens rang in Qin Bai's mind.
Being a mother is really tough, isn't it? She has nothing better to do than set traps for her own son.
Coercion and bribery are no longer effective; now they're resorting to the sentimental approach.
Do you really think I'd fall for that?
"There's no one else here, so you can rest assured."
"It's okay, I don't mind having more if I have more. Don't think that Mom is an old-fashioned person. I'm easygoing about these things."
"Huh? Don't you hate scumbags the most?"
Cheng Jing pouted: "I hate men who cheat on me, what does that have to do with my son?"
Okay.
What's it like to have a mother who's both sensible and hypocritical?
He picked up a sliced orange and put it into Cheng Jing's mouth.
"It looks delicious."
"Hmm, it's alright. They're all daughters-in-law. Mom won't be picky and will definitely treat them all equally."
Qin Bai immediately lowered his head, not thinking, "Who knows if this is a trap?"
The best approach now is to change the subject.
He took the little notebook out of his pocket.
"Mom, Sister Sun just told me to write down your recent diet and other things you need to pay attention to."
"Although the wound is healing well, you can't eat too much oily food. Eat more porridge and eggs."
"Also, remember to have Aunt Zhang disinfect your clothes before you wear them. Your wound will take some time to heal."
"You ran out of mouthwash, I bought some more and put it on the shelf in the bathroom, and there's also..."
Qin Bai kept talking on and on while looking at the little notebook.
He wrote down everything he could think of, afraid of forgetting anything when he spoke.
The playfulness in Cheng Jing's eyes slowly faded, and even the smile on her face disappeared.
Looking at her son's serious expression with his head down, she was somewhat lost in thought.
She asked herself if she would be happier now if she had listened to Qin Yi back then.
But when she saw her son lying beside her like a little angel after he was born, she understood in that instant that it was all worth it.
This has now been confirmed.
My son is very good, exceptionally good, at least to me.
Even if he knows a few girls, so what if he's a heinous villain?
He will always be his son.
Cheng Jing doesn't have any saintly complex; after all the hardships she's endured over the years, she's more realistic than Qin Bai.
When the mother and daughter huddled together eating steamed buns in the dead of winter, no one could suffer for them.
While Qin Bai carried the cardboard box with her small, chilblain-covered hands, she was the only one hiding at home, silently shedding tears.
As she lay in her hospital bed, Qin Bai knelt by the window and prayed to the bright moon, no deity passed overhead.
Therefore, Cheng Jing didn't care about other people's lives or deaths, as long as her son could live a good life.
She was waiting, waiting for Qin Bai to find his own foothold.
But now...
It seems like we won't be able to wait any longer.
It was as if he was making arrangements for his final affairs; there were many things he couldn't let go of, yet he had no choice but to.
She watched as Qin Bai's eyes changed drastically, a thousand emotions welling up in her heart.
Cheng Jing avoided talking about what would happen at tomorrow's engagement banquet, but that didn't mean she knew nothing about it.
Asking about these things would only add to her troubles; in her current state, she can't manage or help with anything.
I just hope that the disputes among the wealthy don't affect him.
After a long while, Qin Bai stopped nagging.
Cheng Jing composed herself and gently patted his head.
"Why are you acting like an old man today? Why are you saying so much? Are you planning to run away with your wife after the engagement and never come to see me again?"
Qin Bai looked surprised.
"Mom, you're amazing! You actually guessed it. Now that you've discovered my plan, how about you come out with me for a walk after you recover?"
"Okay, where do you want to go? I've been in the hospital for too long, I want to go out and have some fun for a while."
Namtso Lake.
Cheng Jing was stunned for a moment, not expecting him to say such a niche name without hesitation.
"That place where you whisper to God?"
"Um."
"It seems pretty good. Legend has it that it's a place where immortals live, a peaceful paradise where no one wants to fight, and the scenery..."
"No." Qin Bai shook his head solemnly: "There are many wild animals there. If I sneak back some musk or something to sell, I can definitely make a lot of money."
Cheng Jing opened her mouth, but all the travel plans she wanted to make were ruined.
Does this son think differently from others?
Otherwise, try pouring some water in; maybe it will fix the problem after a short circuit.
You're even going to add some musk? Why don't you just get some deer antler instead? I definitely won't report you.
Qin Bai looked at Cheng Jing, who was speechless, and laughed so hard he almost fell over.
Cheng Jing looked at his expression and laughed along with him.
The oppressive atmosphere in the room vanished, replaced by warmth.
For the rest of the time, Qin Bai stayed by her side.
They recounted the interesting things that had happened before.
He was talking about what he saw and heard at school.
They talked about the beauty of the future.
After dinner, Qin Bai helped Cheng Jing cover herself with the blanket.
"Mom, I'm going back. I have a lot to do tomorrow, so I need to get some rest tonight."
"Okay, go ahead, and remember to take lots of photos of the engagement party for me to see."
"Okay, you should get some rest too."
Qin Bai turned and left with a smile.
As he stepped out the door, he gave his mother a long look before closing it.
Cheng Jing watched her son's retreating figure until it disappeared from sight, only then did a look of sorrow appear on her face.
Don't worry, Xiaobai, everything will be alright.
Even if we can't get through this, Mom is here.
If anything really happens to you, I won't be sad.
I really don't.
I will do my best to help you fulfill your wish.
After those people's lives are ended.
I'll go back to find you.
Maybe those people are very powerful, but Mom isn't afraid, even if she can't be buried with you.
Your mother will come looking for you too.
Xiaobai, I know you're afraid of the dark.
So please wait for me.
The road to the underworld is long, so walk a little slower. Mom won't keep you waiting too long.
That way, even if we drink that bowl of Meng Po soup, we might still remember each other.
You've always said you're grateful to me for sparing your life back then.
Actually, there's something Mom has always wanted to tell you.
It is my greatest fortune to be your mother.
In the next life...
I still want to be your mother...
May I?
My little white dog.
