Matsuno Rieko sat in front of her desk with one hand supporting her chin. Her slender and round legs were crossed together. She held a pen in her other hand and rhythmically tapped on the thick documents in front of her. Her eyes were empty as she stared ahead. Her casual behavior revealed an amazing feminine charm.
The 16-year-old me was really naive ~ I used to be stupid and thought that love was everything to me, but my old man objected. Even if I cut off my relationship with my family and ran away from home, I still wanted to be with that man
"You shameless woman, I'll pretend that I never gave birth to you. Don't ever appear in front of me again. Get lost, get lost!”The old man let out a deafening roar, his ferocious face emitting endless anger.
" Hubby, no matter what Rieko did wrong, she is still our daughter, Ai, even if she was wrong..." Her mother's pleading was still weak.
"Shut up! If it wasn't for your doting, she wouldn't have become like this!”
"Humph!" Rieko let out a short and powerful snort. The male employees around her all turned to look at her. She put down the pen in her hand, took a sip of the cold coffee on the table, and changed to a comfortable position to continue daydreaming, ignoring the heated gazes around her.
" Rieko, come in. This is where we will live in the future." The man brought her home with a warm smile. She foolishly thought that this was the happiness she was pursuing. Now that she thought about it, the man's smile was really hypocritical.
" Darling, I…my one didn't come this month. I'm pregnant." She still remembered that when she told the good news to the man with a happy face, the man's expression was so unnatural.
From then on, the " happy " life began to collapse. Men often used various reasons not to go home. In fact, at that time, he had already noticed it. He was worried, afraid, and uneasy about the future.
Until one day, the man never came home again. She searched crazily with a big belly, but in the end, she found nothing. The man seemed to have disappeared from the world. The nightmarish truth came one after another. The young and ignorant pregnant girl struggled to survive and stubbornly refused to go home. She did not want the old man to see her in a sorry state.
What was it that supported her to survive? It was so hard for her, but she insisted on giving birth to the child. Ah, I really can't figure it out.
Matsuno Rieko's gaze shifted to the photo on her desk.
" Tsk, you annoying little brat!" Rieko muttered softly, and then fell into her memories again.
The birth of the little devil seemed to have happened yesterday. At that time, the little devil's wrinkled face was not cute at all. He didn't miss himself at all. Because of the weakness after giving birth and the blow of that man's departure, he really hated him. Erm, he didn't like him now and wouldn't like him in the future.
At that time, he had already left. Why did he go back to take a look and then pick him up? He only thought about who would adopt him. He definitely had no intention of picking him up.
Ai still remembered that time. The alley was cold and dirty. Seeing that small body still shivering in the cardboard box, she was so glad. Her small face was a little blue from the cold. She desperately held back the tears that were about to fall and picked up that small body.
'What kind of expression did that kid have at that time? He was so happy and intimate…How could a child at the age of being redeemed have such a complicated expression?' Rieko thought to herself.
" Ahem... Matsuno-san, please focus on your work during office hours," the bald, plump middle-aged president reminded Rieko kindly when he saw her clearly in a daze.
" Hi, I'm very sorry. I'll finish my work before I leave, President." Rieko was shocked. She stood up in a panic and bowed to apologize. She was very polite and had nothing better to do.
The fat president's eyes flashed with lust when he saw Rieko's bent back. It was so fast that it seemed like he was hallucinating." Yes, Miss Kasumatsuno, work hard." He turned around and left.
"Tsk, perverted old man!" The sensitive Rieko caught the president's gaze and sat back down angrily. However, she was obviously absent-minded and did not care about the president's reminder.
Speaking of which, the little brat had grown up a lot in the past four years. He looked more and more like Rieko. However, he was really a mature and annoying little brat. He was like an old man at such a young age, and he almost didn't need her to take care of him. He also never made her angry. Rieko didn't notice that the lines on her face were getting gentler and gentler. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly into a gentle smile. Of course, she didn't notice that the male employees around her were staring straight at her.
Well, forget it. Work, work. After work, I still have to pick up that troublesome little brat Rieko. She gently patted her face with both hands and shook her head to get rid of the distracting thoughts. She made an encouraging gesture, causing her chest to surge…and the sound of swallowing saliva.
…The dividing line after work…
In the evening, in front of a kindergarten
Pedestrians were walking on the road. The kindergarten teachers were carefully looking after a group of children. The boy with long black hair was also looking around in the middle of the group of children. He was not as noisy as the other children. He did not need the teacher's warning. He just stood there quietly and waited for the woman named Matsuno Rieko to come and pick him up.
As time passed, more and more children were picked up by their smiling parents. The number of children around them decreased from the initial dozens to two or three…
The last child bid farewell to the teacher and left, leaving only the boy with long black hair to wait quietly, as well as the embarrassed teacher beside him.
The boy, who had been waiting for a long time, had a calm expression on his face. Coupled with his long black hair, he showed a temperament that did not match his age.
After waiting for a long time, a car finally arrived before dark. The woman in the driver's seat was a bit too young. She had short black hair and delicate light makeup on her face. She was wearing a tight business dress and had a slender lady's cigarette in her mouth. The woman looked more charming with both the young and mature temperament.
At this moment, the woman's face was filled with impatience as she shouted something at the child.
" Hurry up and come over. How long are you waiting for? You don't know how to get in when you see a car coming. What a troublesome child…"
The teacher, who had been standing beside the boy for some time, said weakly,"That…Madam, I don't think this child is annoying. He's much quieter than the other children. He's easy to take care of…"
"You don't need to say anything about my child. Are you dissatisfied with my way of educating him?!”
The boy didn't say a word. He was used to his mother's tone when he was fat. He walked to the car quietly and opened the door with difficulty. He said goodbye to the teacher and sat in the car. He skillfully fastened his seatbelt. The woman and boy in front of him didn't complain, didn't act coquettishly, and didn't get into a fight after waiting for too long. They just sat quietly.
Rieko didn't continue arguing with the kindergarten teacher. She glanced at the boy through the rearview mirror and drove away.
The boy did not throw a tantrum. With the memories of his previous life, he understood that his mother had to work to earn money to support the family. Occasionally, she would work overtime, so it was normal for her to be late.
Mom was working very hard, so complaining was not allowed. She had to be a good child and not trouble her mother. She would be abandoned, just like in her previous life.
The car was driving on the way home. It was very quiet inside.
Rieko wanted to explain why she was late, but when she noticed the quiet child in the rearview mirror, she felt a little annoyed. She didn't know what to say, so she lit another cigarette.
In the rearview mirror, the child sitting quietly in the car looked a little uncomfortable because of the smoke.
"Tsk tsk, what a troublesome brat."
The woman took out the cigarette from her mouth and put it out in the ashtray in the car. She opened the window slightly to disperse the smoke, but she did not notice the boy's fleeting smile behind her.
silent all the way
The woman parked the car in the parking lot of a ten-story apartment and got out of the car. She ignored the little tail behind her and the considerate Qiao Boy's hand.
There was a difference in the pace of the adults and children. The boy's body had not yet developed. Seeing that the distance between him and the woman was increasing, he increased his speed and chased after her.
The parking lot was silent. Only the sound of footsteps gradually faded away. The shadows under the lights grew longer and longer as the mother and son moved, gradually overlapping...
