"Zhi Shu!"
She gently called out to her son who was eating at the dining table, and she slowly walked over with her mother-in-law.
When he saw his mother coming over, there was no joy on Zhishu's face. He hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of rice and jumped off the chair. He avoided the hand that was about to touch him and went up the stairs into his room.
Seeing her son so resistant to her, the smile on her face gradually faded. She shook her head slightly and helped her mother-in-law to the chair.
"This child…"
The mother-in-law sighed and patted the back of her hand to let her sit at the side. She picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks and placed it in her bowl.
"I don't know what's wrong with him recently, but he's been depressed. I asked him if he was bullied by his classmates at school, but he refused to tell me.”
As she picked up the food, her mother-in-law told her about Zhishu's recent situation.
"It's all my fault. I was too busy with work and couldn't accompany him properly..."
She kept using her chopsticks to pick up the fish on the rice, but she never had the desire to eat. Her son's indifference to her made her chest feel like it was blocked by something, and it was all because of her. Ever since Zhishu's father, her husband, died in an accident, she put all her energy into work. She wanted to use the fatigue of work to numb herself and ignore her son's feelings. She felt that she was not a qualified mother.
"It's okay, child. Just coax him more. You're his mother. How can he really ignore you?”
Her mother-in-law smiled and patted her on the arm, comforting her daughter-in-law. Without a man in the family, all the burdens were on her. As a woman, she could understand how difficult it was for him.
"That child hasn't eaten well either. There are some biscuits in the cupboard over there.”
In the room, Zhi Shu was lying on the bed and sobbing secretly on the pillow. The day before yesterday, the school organized a parent-child exchange meeting. The other children had their parents accompanying them, but he was brought by his grandmother. Seeing other students playing together, his young heart could not bear it. This made him feel as if he had been abandoned by the world.
Dong dong dong!
There was a light knock on the door. Intermediary Hui stood outside the door with a plate and called out softly.
"Zhi Shu! Can Mommy go in?"
Hearing his mother's voice, Zhi Shu quickly wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve and sat up.
"Zhishu."
As the door creaked open, Mika sat down on the bed with an apologetic expression on her face with a plate of biscuits and milk.
Looking at her son's red eyes, her heart was filled with guilt and heartache. After putting the food on the table, she gently hugged Zhi Shu's slightly resistant body and held him in her arms.
"I'm sorry, Zhishu. It's my fault. I've been busy with work and didn't spend time with you. I'm a bad mother, right?”
Zhi Shu didn't say anything. He just lay in the arms of Intermediary Hui without saying a word.
"I promise you that I will accompany you well in the future. Give me a chance.”
Intermediary Hui looked into her son's eyes and said sincerely.
"I'll take you to the amusement park during our next break. How about it? Didn't you always want to go there?”
She had already thought it through. When her son's next break time came, she would apply for a vacation and spend a weekend with her son. Anyway, there was nothing important that she had to do in the near future. That fellow, Zongfang, should be able to handle many things.
Seeing that her son was happy to hear that she was going to the amusement park with him, the haze in her heart gradually dissipated. The mother and son sat on the bed and enjoyed the biscuits together. Outside the window, in the shadows, a pair of eyes were staring at the warm scene in the house.
"Aha ~"
Yawning, Yang Cheng got up from the bed. He squinted his sleepy eyes and turned on his phone screen to look at the time.
He had already slept for thirteen hours. At this time, not only did he not feel refreshed, but he also felt weak all over. He casually threw his phone aside and got up to go to the bathroom.
After two songs, Yang Cheng walked out while drying his wet hair. He glanced at Eluna, who was sitting on a chair reading a book, and walked to the fridge to take out a bottle of milk.
"Don't you need to sleep?"
He opened the lid and took a sip before asking in a muffled voice.
"I've been sleeping for a long time, so I don't want to sleep.”
Eluna didn't even look up. Her eyes were still on the book in her hand, and her slender fingers moved the pages from time to time. Although she was only wearing simple, ancient clothes and no makeup, just her simple posture revealed an otherworldly beauty. It was as if an elf in a painting had leaped out and arrived in the modern world.
Yang Cheng looked at the other party's tender white thigh and swallowed the milk in his mouth. After all, he was just a man, an ordinary man. In the end, it was still difficult for him to get rid of the primitive desires of this creature. Now, some images that were not suitable for children involuntarily appeared in his mind.
"You're thinking about something very rude!"
Closing the book with a snap, Eluna stood up and walked to Yang Cheng's side. Her clear eyes stared into Yang Cheng's eyes.
"Uh, I'm sorry, I didn't..."
Like a child who had been caught eating candy, Yang Cheng felt his cheeks burning. He awkwardly tightened the towel around his waist, hoping that the other party would not shift his gaze to something that would make him even more embarrassed. Before he transmigrated, Yang Cheng was single. Although he could read some learning materials from various sources in the information age and understand the physiological structure of men and women, he could be considered to have seen countless women. However, that was only through a screen. Now, a living beauty was standing in front of him. Those who were close could feel the other party's breath.
Sniff?
Yang Cheng took a step back and sized up Eluna. He remembered that Eluna was just a thought entity without a physical body. Why was she acting like a normal person now? This was too abnormal.
"Your body?"
he asked tentatively.
"Thanks to someone's nightmare, I've regained some energy to form this body.”
Eluna raised her palm, and threads of red threads drilled out of the void. They kept spinning and entangling, and then gathered into a red ball that floated two fingers away from the jade palm. A familiar fluctuation began to spread in all directions with this as the center. Waves of unspeakable malice continued to attack Yang Cheng, but in terms of strength, it was not even one percent of what he had seen in his dream.
Looking at the vigilant expression on Yang Cheng's face and his body that was already on guard, Eluna smiled as if her prank had succeeded. She gently waved her hand and dispersed the red ball that made Yang Cheng uneasy. Then, she turned around and sat back in her chair.
"However, compared to that esper, the power you can provide is pitifully little. He is far from the bottom that I can't control, so you can rest assured that I won't become that ugly monster again.”
Yang Cheng nodded. As the host of the other party, just like how Eluna could know what he was thinking, he could also sense what the other party was thinking to a certain extent. Eluna was indeed not lying.
Lifting the towel that had slipped down because of his movements just now, Yang Cheng's thoughts disappeared without a trace. He pulled the temporary curtain and started to put on the protective suit.
There was nothing special that he needed to do today. Other than some training, there was still a lot of time for him to spend. The address of the Koizumi family had been sent to his phone. He was going to take this time to visit.
Holding a bag of fruit and a cake, Yang Cheng arrived at Koizumi's house according to the address provided by Dagu. After confirming that the other party's house number was accurate, Yang Cheng pressed the doorbell.
"Who is it?"
A middle-aged man quickly appeared in the courtyard. At this moment, he was holding a kettle and wearing a straw hat. He was dressed like a farmer as he walked to the door.
"So it's Mr. Yang Cheng! Please come in!"
When Tetsuhira Koizumi saw that the figure standing outside the door was Yang Cheng, he immediately put down the tools in his hand and opened the door for Yang Cheng. His attitude was extremely respectful. In his dream, he killed all the monsters alone. In reality, he even drove a super large robot to defeat the huge monster. That really shocked Koizumi. Moreover, the other party was his daughter's life savior. In front of him, Koizumi willingly lowered his attitude.
"May I know why Mr. Yang Cheng is looking for me?”
After receiving the gift from Yang Cheng, Koizumi led Yang Cheng into the living room. After pouring a cup of tea, he asked.
"Oh, it's nothing serious. I just came to see Rina. Yesterday, I went to the welfare institute. The director said that Rina had been brought home by you. Coincidentally, I met Dagu and learned that you were hired by TPC as a consultant.”
Yang Cheng turned around, but he didn't see Rina.
"Oh, wait a moment. I'll go get her. She's planting flowers in the backyard.”
After a while, Koizumi finally appeared with Rena. He had changed his clothes.
"Big brother!"
As soon as she saw Yang Cheng, Rina couldn't wait to break free from Koizumi's hand and ran towards Yang Cheng. Yang Cheng also hurriedly stood up and hugged Rina's light body, reporting to her.
"Did big brother come to see me?"
Rina said in a childish voice, her eyes filled with excitement. It was obvious that she was very happy about Yang Cheng's arrival.
"Of course! Rina hasn't forgotten about brother, has she?"
Yang Cheng scratched her small nose, then slowly sat down cross-legged. He took out a piece of cake from the food bag on the table and handed it to her mouth as he asked.
Smelling the aroma of the cake, Rina swallowed her saliva, but she did not take it directly. Instead, she looked at Koizumi.
"Oh, Rina is changing her teeth. Eating too much sweet food is not good for her teeth. However, your Brother Yang Cheng gave it to you today, so you can eat it.”
"Brother Yang Cheng?"
Rina tilted her head and looked at Yang Cheng with her big eyes. Her long eyelashes fluttered gently.
"Who is Brother Yang Cheng?"
