Chapter 77 Playing the Son, Playing the Mother (Subscribe)
The next day.

Jingle Bell…

Jingle Bell…

The alarm clock rang, and Guan Ren lying on the bed forced himself to use part of his brain to think for a moment. He vaguely remembered that he had taken a day off today.

So he turned over decisively.

"Xiao Ai-san...turn off the alarm...Xiao Ai-san?"

Jingle Bell…

Jingle Bell…

The ringing continues.

Tsk…

This little love in the groove...

Guan Ren spoke with a slightly more fluent voice:

"Xiao Ai classmate..."

This repeated several times. After Guan Ren instinctively reached out and slapped the alarm clock, he suddenly woke up from his dream, rubbing his temples and remembering two things.

First, Xiao Ai is not here now, and he doesn’t have that many smart home devices.

Second, just yesterday, his long-missed mother, "Sister Qiao Yun", came back.

"Sister Qiaoyun...Mom..."

Guan Ren sat on the bed, looking a little dazed.

----------

There are many regrets in past lives.

If you ask the biggest.

It was undoubtedly Guan Qiaoyun.

After all, the torture she suffered on the hospital bed at that time was something that Guan Ren could not bear no matter how much money he spent.

It was at the moment when Guan Qiaoyun closed her eyes forever that Guan Rencai deeply regretted for the first time that he had not grown up earlier and helped her share some of the burden on her shoulders and in her heart.

Especially during the rebellious period of youth.

At that time, the young Guan Ren had no idea that in that era, a single mother like Guan Qiaoyun, who had worked in all walks of life, from a convenience store to a children's clothing store, from a waiter to a supervisor, had experienced all kinds of struggles and hardships, and had put in so much sweat and hard work, to raise him bit by bit on her own.

As a result, he did too many wrong things and had too many quarrels with Guan Qiaoyun.

For example, he still remembers that one day in his second year of high school in his previous life, Guan Ren failed all the subjects in the exam again, so like many other parents, Guan Qiaoyun got angry with him.

Logically speaking, this kind of quarrel between mother and son is normal.

But the angrier a person is, the more hurtful their words are likely to be, especially between people who know each other.

So, Guan Ren became hysterical and threw out a few thoughtless angry words:

What's the big deal about exams? Others can do everything well because they have a complete family! Do I have that?

[If you can't give me anything, just leave me alone! Did I ever beg you?]

【What qualifications do you have to ask me! 】

After saying that, Guan Ren slammed the bedroom door. He didn't go to school for the next three days, nor did he say a word to Guan Qiaoyun, let alone apologize. Later, he forgot about her and became busy with his life.

……

boom--

Guan Ren thought of this at the moment, gritted his teeth, and punched the door with a force comparable to that of a martial artist.

"Tsk, I seemed a bit beastly at that time..."

The rebellious period is sometimes really scary.

The most terrifying thing is that it lasted for a long time, which means that Guan Ren’s harm to Guan Qiaoyun was not just this time.

But fortunately, God gave Guan Ren a second chance.

This time, Guan Ren arrived just in time.

But thinking back to her first year of high school, some of these things had already begun to show, and had already made her angry quite a bit.

"Hmm... Yesterday I was so busy celebrating our reunion, and then I just drank. Shouldn't I apologize to her first..."

Therefore, the first thing he had to do was to correct his original behavior, open the door, and then give Guan Qiaoyun a sincere apology in a timely manner.

------------

squeak-

Pushing open the bedroom door, Guan Qiaoyun saw that the bedroom, which had been closed before, had been cleaned up by herself.

The curtains throughout the house were neatly drawn and fastened.

The soft morning light and fresh air drifted in through the open window, carrying with them someone's familiar, warm fragrance, making Guan Ren, who was still half asleep, feel comfortable and at ease.

tread…

tread…

With slow steps, Guan Rendang came to the kitchen door where there was a clanging sound.

Looking at the scene inside, he was stunned for a moment.

In front of the stove, there was a woman who had taken off her capable attire from yesterday's work, put on an apron and was making breakfast.

The warm sunlight shone through the window, casting a light golden hue on her pretty face, outlining her graceful and moving features.

The view of the small kitchen seemed to be frozen at this moment because of this woman.

……

In fact, if it hadn't happened again, Guan Ren would have almost forgotten that Guan Qiaoyun that year was truly beautiful and exquisite like a snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountains.

But she herself, especially when she was busy at home taking care of her troublesome and stupid son, was obviously not aware of any of this.

Including this moment.

She was dressed completely different from "OL Guan Qiaoyun". She was busy washing rice at the moment and had no idea that in the eyes of someone at the door, she and everything around her were shrouded in a light golden filter, like a dream.

"..."

Guan Ren looked at her back quietly and smiled.

My eyes felt a little stuffy and my throat felt a little tight.

The emotions that were suppressed when we first met yesterday finally slowly emerged from my heart this morning.

So, after feeling a surge of heat in the corners of his eyes, Guan Ren took a deep breath, walked over, and gently and tightly embraced Guan Qiaoyun's soft and thin body from behind.

"mom."

The word stuck in his throat was repeated twice by him, just like when he was a child:

"Mom...I miss you so much..."

Guan Qiaoyun, who was cooking, was also startled by Guan Ren's sudden appearance. She turned her head and really wanted to scold him, but she found that her body was so soft that she could hardly move when being completely embraced by a grown-up person like this.

Then, there was another dreamlike murmur behind him:
"Sister Qiaoyun...I miss you so much..."

"..."

Guan Qiaoyun was visibly stiff at this moment, because of his sudden two words.

It was also because of the inexplicable emotion that was conveyed from behind him when he said this.

"No, you...what are you doing so stupidly so early in the morning?"

Actually it wasn’t early in the morning.

Guan Qiaoyun had a similar feeling when she met Guan Ren in the school office yesterday.

I just feel like he's a little... sentimental.

It’s just that it wasn’t fully expressed yesterday, but it’s much more obvious now.

"Mom...I was wrong, I'm sorry..."

"Eh? You..."

"Every time I disobeyed you and made you angry before, it was all because of me, the bastard. I..."

"Hey, you... shut up! Why are you suddenly saying something like that..."

You didn’t get drunk last night, but you are now?

Guan Qiaoyun was a little panicked and forced herself to turn around.

Then he was shocked to see that the corners of Guan Ren's red eyes were actually wet.

"You... you're fine, why..."

"Mom, you've worked hard..."

The light in Guan Ren's eyes was more real than ever before:
"Sister Qiaoyun, you have worked hard..."

Guan Qiaoyun naturally couldn't understand Guan Ren's abnormality at this moment.

She just saw that her son was no longer smiling at her like he was yesterday, and her rebellious little bastard was crying.

So she quickly wiped the water stains on her apron, stood on tiptoe, climbed her arms onto his back, and held his shoulders tightly with both hands.

"Little bastard, why are you crying? You...you suddenly act like this, I...I..."

Feeling the trembling of Guan Qiaoyun knocking on his shoulder, and the hand that kept hitting, pressing and pinching his back, Guan Ren really couldn't help but smile again.

……

Yes, this is Guan Qiao Yun.

Sister Qiao Yun is such a mother.

When scolding her disobedient son, she can always be aggressive and tougher than anyone else.

And when she lies in her son's chest, she can always be like a little deer, more fragile than anyone else.

……

"mom."

Guan Ren calmed down and gently pushed Guan Qiaoyun away. He then looked at her phoenix eyes that were also filled with mist as she glared at him unhappily.
"It's okay, don't cry."

"???"

Guan Qiaoyun was so angry at his words that she laughed and quickly wiped her eyes:
"Speak! Who did this?... Everything was fine before, but now this happened to me so early in the morning..."

"Hey, actually I wanted to do it yesterday, but I didn't have time."

As Guan Ren spoke, he looked at Guan Qiao Yun closely.

After many years, he suddenly realized that this woman's face was even more charming and pretty than he had imagined.

Her skin was as delicate and white as porcelain, and not a single wrinkle had appeared on it due to worrying about her son.

Her hands, as green as jade, had not yet turned yellow from the fumes from cooking for her son for a long time.

Beauty...

youth…

years…

When his hazy vision swept across Guan Qiaoyun's face, and when his fingertips touched the back of her warm and smooth hand, Guan Ren finally understood with a broken heart how much treasure and wealth that belonged only to a woman had been given up in those years for her son, for the only man in her life.

"Mom, please move aside, I will cook."

"You? Come on, what can you do..."

"Hey, just watch me show off my skills. Also, I'll wash the dishes and do all the housework from now on."

As Guan Ren spoke, he deftly pushed Guan Qiaoyun aside and started to set up the pot on the stove.

"Stop, stop, stop! Guan Ren, don't think you can do whatever you want. You've even covered it... It's easy for you to say, but you don't want to study anymore, right?"

"Then leave it to me when you're free."

"Then what have you done and what should I do?"

"You still have to go to work at New Century Department Store, even if it's only half a day, it's hard enough."

After all, one of the important reasons why she ended up lying in bed in her previous life was overwork.

I am tired physically and mentally.

In this life, Guan Ren will never let her do this again.

"Your mission from now on is to take good care of your body, which you have neglected in the past. Just keep it healthy!"

Guan Qiaoyun stared at Guan Ren from behind for a while.

Although she didn't know what was wrong with him, even if it was just a three-minute enthusiasm, having such a son really warmed Guan Qiaoyun's heart.

"At least you weren't born in vain..."

She whispered behind her.

Guan Ren just couldn't help laughing.

……

The more people lack something, the more they tend to emphasize it.

Whether you are saying it to others or to yourself.

In Guan Ren's impression, Guan Qiaoyun always liked to use the words "I gave birth to you" to emphasize the inseparable bond between her and himself.

However, Guan Ren in front of him was very clear in his heart.

I know very well the secret that this woman confided in her last moments at the hospital bed in her previous life.

It is precisely because of this secret that Guan Ren in this life actually likes to call her "Sister Qiao Yun" more than in his previous life.

As for her previous life experience, Guan Qiaoyun had always been vague about it, saying things like "gave birth to him at the age of sixteen" and "test-tube baby" and so on. When Guan Ren thought about it now, he just felt that this woman was too bad at lying.

In short, facing the truth that Guan Qiaoyun is currently hiding, Guan Ren naturally will not expose it, otherwise she will be the one who gets hurt.

You just need to keep it in mind.

Then, as she wishes, let her play the role of her "son" well, and let her play the role of "mother" well at the same time.

(To avoid misunderstanding, it is now officially stated that Guan Qiaoyun and Guan Ren are adopted, and Guan Qiaoyun is both a sister and a mother)

(Yes, it was like this from the beginning. If the first few chapters caused any misunderstanding or discomfort, I would like to apologize here.)
