four
In the end, he managed to make my mother tear up, more emotionally stirring than watching several episodes of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas, as she sighed and remarked on how difficult his life has been, allowing him to live in our home with peace of mind in the future
I have just realized what is wrong
I felt a bit uneasy and quickly spoke up: "How about this, Su Muze, I will lend you some money first, you can find a nearby hotel to stay in, and then think of a way slowly!"
I quickly pulled him behind me and said hastily, "Mom, he is my classmate, Su Muze."
It must be admitted that this individual before me has accurately grasped my Achilles' heel
... ...
Indeed, it must be this fellow who is resorting to tricks and deception to fool people
I ... ...
I wouldn't say this is turning a blind eye to his plight, so don't be ungrateful! I am using his own words against him
However, this is not the end of the nightmare, merely the beginning
The Magical Kingdom, hahahaha... ha... it's simply too ridiculous, isn't it
However, I still miscalculated
... ...
Recalling what Su Muze had just said, I couldn't help but feel astonished: Could it be ...? ... Does he really possess magic?
Wait! Xia Xinghe, have you also lost your mind? I quickly shook my head; how could magic possibly exist in this world? It's all just the ramblings of this guy.
After Su Muze left, I truly could not bear to see my mother so easily deceived, so I kindly thought to remind her: "Mom, actually Su Muze is not as pitiful as he claims..."
I sat silently on the sofa, eating watermelon, almost ready to applaud Su Muze's acting and the book!
This guy, does he really think that I could still be deceived by his appearance?
I was still in a state of shock when I heard that voice, which carried a hint of cunning and a touch of smugness, threatening me again: "If you do not agree to my demands, I will not only tell your mother who I am, but I will also inform all the media that you are not keeping your word! You promised to repay your savior, yet when I truly find myself on the streets begging for your help, you turn a blind eye to my plight..." You promised to repay your savior, yet when I truly find myself on the streets begging for your help, you turn a blind eye to my plight...
So... what exactly is going on
Well done, you have won
Hmph
Su Muze immediately nodded obediently, saying: "Mm, I will listen to you!"
What is astonishing is that, with the light radiating from the room, I am quite certain that his mouth did not move at all
When she looked at Su Muze again, she had already put on a kind and amiable smile, as if the person who had just scolded me sternly was not her at all
Aunt, thank you for taking me in. I will work hard to repay you. Su Muze reiterated the promise he had just made to me to my mother
I quickly shook off his hand and waved to my mother, saying, "Mom, please don't misunderstand, I have no other relationship with him. You know the person I like is Brother Yichen. He... he just had a falling out with his family and ran away from home, wanting to seek my shelter!" I glanced at Su Muze beside me, feeling a bit guilty as I lied.
Su Muze thus settled down in my home, successfully capturing my mother's overflowing maternal affection with his realistic acting skills and his "pitiful" background
"What do you not want me to know? Baby, what are you suddenly talking about?" Mother asked in confusion
Su Muze immediately fell silent, merely staring again with those big, watery eyes, looking at me with a sense of grievance, then glancing at my mother beside me, as if I had done something to him
Mother was clearly flattered and felt quite comfortable. She patted Su Muze on the shoulder, her eyes squinting with laughter: "You, my child, are truly sweet-tongued! From now on, you can live here, treat this place as your own home, and stay for as long as you wish..."
But ...? ... If it is not magic, how can we explain what just happened
"Yes, I apologize, Auntie, for disturbing you so late!" Su Muze immediately spoke up obediently
I suddenly feel a bit heartbroken for my father. Fortunately, he has social engagements tonight and has not returned yet. Otherwise, upon seeing this scene, he would probably have to drink a barrel of aged vinegar.
I do not know if it is because of my "classmates" being present, but my mother finally spared me some dignity and did not continue to scold me.
Mother, are you really my biological mother
Ventriloquism, it must be ventriloquism! Haven't we seen it portrayed on television? Those masters who are proficient in ventriloquism, when they "speak," isn't it just like Su Muze?
"Do you not want Auntie to know who I am?" The voice of Su Muze echoed in my ears once again, this time carrying a hint of cunning, as if he had caught me in a compromising situation.
I looked at Su Muze with uncertainty, and just as I was puzzled, his voice rang in my ears again: "You really don't want your mom to know, do you? Then hurry up and agree to my request!"
I see..." Mother seemed to have thought of something, and her gaze towards Su Muze clearly changed, her smile instantly becoming even more amiable, "Well..."
However, before I could finish my words, I was rudely interrupted by my mother: "What do you mean by 'not that pitiful'? You child, I now realize that you truly lack compassion! How can you say such things about your classmates? And what was that previous remark about being ungrateful all about?"
When I was young, there was an occasion when I had a quarrel with my father. I can no longer recall the specifics of the incident, but in short, I left the house through the front door and went to play in the small hillside behind the yard for an hour, getting covered in mud. After my mother found me, she gave me a severe beating, and only after I cried and shouted that I would never dare to run away from home again did she let me go
However, Mu Ze, even if you don't go back, you should at least make a phone call home to let them know you are safe. After all, they are family; no matter how angry or how much you argue, they will still worry about you. " While walking, Mom did not forget to give Su Mu Ze a lesson on this matter.
I did not receive such treatment when I was hospitalized
I am very certain of this
You are tired as well, so go rest early! What do you like to eat? Tomorrow morning, Auntie will make it for you..." Mother said with a concerned expression
I actually felt pity for him just now ... ! ... He is clearly a cunning vampire !
I took a deep breath, turned my head to look at my mother again, and forced myself to smile: "It's nothing, Mom. I just didn't want you to know that someone came to see me, after all, I already have enough on my plate right now"
Meanwhile, Su Muze innocently blinked at me and shrugged his shoulders, saying, "I didn't say anything!"
How could I forget that what middle-aged women find most irresistible is Su Muze's innocent and adorable demeanor
The two of them entered the room, chatting and laughing, as if they had completely forgotten about me
"Mu Ze, it's nothing, it's nothing!" Mom said with a smile, subtly sizing up Su Mu Ze from head to toe, then glancing at our still intertwined hands. Her gaze suddenly became ambiguous, "So, you came to find our Xing He so late..."
Before I figure out what Su Muze really means, I do not want him to say anything cryptic, otherwise my mother will surely think I have gained another "sick friend" and will insist on taking me to the hospital again
Although my mother warmly welcomed him, from the perspective of an elder, she still disapproves of behavior such as leaving home after a quarrel
Is that so? Mother still seems to have some doubts
I couldn't help but grit my teeth
"What do you mean by not knowing your place? Xia Xinghe, how can you speak like that? It's this mouth of yours that doesn't know how to communicate at all, which makes you unlikable and always attracts criticism! I wonder who you inherited this indiscreetness from!" My mother, with her hands on her hips, began to scold me, "Since you are classmates, it is a kind of fate. How can you let a classmate stay in a hotel by themselves?"
I am utterly infuriated
"Knowing that I don't want my mom to find out, you still said it. Are you stupid?" I finally lost my temper and turned around, glaring at Su Muze with a face full of anger.
Su Muze is indeed your biological child, isn't he
"Not picky, not picky!" Su Muze, that little "toady," immediately brightened his eyes and instantly shifted his flattering target from me to my mother, "Auntie, you are truly wonderful! Wuwu, I am so touched..."
This acting, even in the eyes of us people in the industry, is undoubtedly at the level of an Oscar-winning actor
Seeing that she was about to launch into another lengthy discourse, I quickly pleaded for mercy: "I'm sorry, Mom, I was wrong! Please don't say any more, whatever you say we will do, okay?"
She reached out and grabbed the still-dazed Mu Ze, saying: "Mu Ze, if you don't mind, why not stay at our house? We may not have much, but we do have plenty of empty rooms..."
I..." Su Muze elongated his voice and looked at me threateningly
Thank you, Aunt! That guy, Su Muze, was flattering my mom while also making a face at me when she wasn't paying attention
It is evident that Su Muze is also well aware of the mindset of middle-aged and elderly women, as he forcefully portrayed himself from a rebellious teenager who would leave home at the slightest disagreement to a little cabbage who is bullied by a stepmother, misunderstood by his biological father, and unloved by both parents
My mother's mouth was agape: "Alright, alright... Aunt will take you to see the room first." Saying this, my mother pulled Su Muze and walked towards the room.
"I’m sorry, Mom, I was wrong! Ah... I’m so sleepy, I’m going to bed too, good night, Mom!" Seeing that Mom was about to bring up old matters again, I hurriedly retreated back to my room
However..." Su Muze pouted, clearly dissatisfied with my arrangement
