Chapter Sixty-Six: I Am a Mother
Li Yan was terrified by her own thought.
"I will do it myself."
Li Yan quickly snatched the tissue from her son's hand and wiped herself.
Her heart was pounding; don't get me wrong, she was frightened.
Gu Tingyu looked at her intense movements, somewhat puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"Xiaoyu, I really am your mother!"
Li Yan looked at her son seriously, without a hint of joking.
"You shouldn't like me!"
That sounds a little strange.
However, Li Yan had to be careful, since Gu Tingyu always insisted that he was not his mother and she absolutely could not let her son go astray.
Gu Tingyu stopped what he was doing, his eyes filled with confusion.
Why are you so agitated? I didn't do anything.
He didn't understand. All he did was wipe her mouth, and that wasn't allowed?
"Also, I never liked you in the first place. It was you who kept pestering me that left me with no choice but to let you move in."
Gu Tingyu picked up his chopsticks, pointed at himself, and said seriously.
Li Yan put down the tissue, breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and said with lingering fear.
"It's fine if you don't like me. I'm your mother. It would be immoral for you to like me."
Gu Tingyu was both amused and exasperated: "My mother died a long time ago, and my memories of her are not very clear."
Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and then the day she had the car accident flashed through her mind.
She fell to the ground while trying to push Gu Tingyu away.
The second child was only a teenager at the time, and witnessing his mother's death must have left him with immense psychological trauma.
At that moment, Li Yan seemed to understand why Gu Tingyu had been unwilling to admit it.
Because in his subconscious, his mother died in a car accident.
Looking at her son's expressionless face, Li Yan felt a pang of heartache.
How long do we need to get used to this fact so that we can talk about it with ease when it comes up again?
Thinking of this, Li Yan felt a lump in her throat and looked at her son in front of her, saying, "Xiao Yu, come a little closer."
"What do you want to do again?"
Although Gu Tingyu found Li Yan's behavior strange, he hesitated for a moment for the sake of the dumplings, but still moved a little closer to her.
Li Yan gently patted her son's head with her small hand and tried to smile, saying, "Xiao Yu, don't be too sad, Mom will always be here for you."
Gu Tingyu's body stiffened as he felt an unprecedented warmth.
The next second, she released her head, and his gaze, like a torch, burned intensely as he looked at Li Yan.
He couldn't help but crave this warmth.
Li Yan deftly picked up a fried dumpling and placed it in her son's bowl: "Xiao Yu, eat more and gain some weight."
Do you think I'm a pig to be fed?
Although Gu Tingyu outwardly complained about Li Yan, his actions betrayed him, as he put the dumpling Li Yan had picked up into his mouth.
Li Yan watched him eat, smiling without saying a word.
If Gu Tingyu were a piglet that could be fattened up, then Li Yan wouldn't worry every day about why her son was so thin.
Gu Tingyu had grown accustomed to Li Yan taking care of him and cherished the warmth she often gave him, a warmth akin to a mother's love.
But they didn't forget to investigate Xu Rou's every move.
Later that evening, Gu Tingyu received news that Xu Rou had a fever and rushed out.
After tidying up the kitchen, Li Yan saw her son getting ready to leave and quickly asked, "Xiao Yu, it's so late, where are you going?"
No parent is indifferent to their child going out late at night.
“My friend is sick and no one is with her, so I have to go and see her.”
Gu Tingyu gave a vague explanation.
Li Yan instructed, "Don't stay out too late, and remember to go home."
Gu Tingyu hummed in agreement.
Li Yan had no doubts.
Not long after, she received a message from her darling.
"Mom, Xu Rou has a fever. I'm taking her to the hospital."
