Chapter 34 My Mother

After catching the business card and hitting his eyes, Yin Chengyi's head buzzed and his pupils became dilated. The complicated emotions that were flashing through his mind just now, as well as the hundreds of psychological games he was ready to play with the pests, were all thrown away.

Beyond the sky.

This business card is generally black in color and has a very thick texture. Compared to a business card, it looks more like a limited edition card figurine. Its edges are unexpectedly sharp. If you hold it in your hand, you can break it if you are not careful.

Ordinary people's skin and flesh are cut.

As for its color...it seems to be a pitch black that can engulf everything, even if there is a light source around it, it cannot illuminate it.

On the back, an "infinity" pattern is outlined in a floating gold foil, like a horizontal Arabic numeral 8. Turning it over again, an even more incredible thing appears - on such a piece of paper as thin as tinfoil

On his business card, there are pictures floating from time to time. Yin Chengyi can't explain the meaning of this pattern. Against the dark background, it changes every moment, and with every change, it seems to be vaguely projecting him.

psychological activities.

It's like a ball of colorful ink stains on black paper.

In another change, the box of memories was uncontrolled and opened on its own. The pain that had been hidden in his heart surged like a tide at this moment, swallowing Yin Chengyi up in an instant.

————

Eleven years ago.Home.

My dad always said, "If there is someone, there is a light." No matter how late you work, as long as you come home and see a small light shining in the entrance hall of your home, with the orange light shining on your shoulders, you will feel an indescribable warmth.

, as if it can wash away the fatigue of a day's work. Home is a place to shelter from wind and rain. In this materialistic world, if you can have a place where you can support each other, you will be luckier than anything else.

After hearing these words, six-year-old Yin Chengyi did as he said even though he didn't understand. Even during this period, the atmosphere at home has become increasingly bad, so bad that even a six-year-old child can't understand it.

He noticed it. As usual, he would light a small lamp at the door before going to bed, silently hoping that things would get better.

Maybe...it just needs a little more time...that's all.

If given a little more time, maybe "home" can return to its original appearance.

Although, deep down in his heart, somewhere, Yin Chengyi has always known that this so-called "original appearance" may be just a glimpse of his own imagination.

…

However, one night that was coming, Yin Chengyi, who was barefoot, stood at the door of his small room and saw with his own eyes the woman packing her luggage in the bedroom with the help of the light specially left for her "family".

...Even this last extravagant hope was shattered.

"Huh?" She still showed an extremely sweet but polite smile to Yin Chengyi, her biological son, as before, "Did I wake you up? I'm sorry, it was me.

There's too much noise coming out. At school, I've already asked for leave for you. With such a big change happening at home, it's completely reasonable to take a day or two off. When you're growing, it's better not to go to bed late.

.”

"..."

The words were stuck in his throat, unable to go up or come down. His little head seemed to be stuck and confused, as if he could not smoothly convert his thoughts into words.

Mi Tang, Yin Chengyi's biological mother, kept moving her hands, but she leaned down slightly and looked at him with slightly curious eyes. That kind of look... didn't quite look like a mother looking at her son, but rather like he had just entered.

Working at a zoo, an intern who is full of curiosity about any animal looks at a little beast that has just learned to walk.

He rarely sees his mother wearing a suit. Miraculously, even this kind of unisex clothing is still quite suitable on her. There seems to be a kind of eternal youth magic in his mother. As long as she is willing, no matter what

The clothes she wore on her body gave her the feeling of a young girl in her mid-twenties. Just looking at this outfit, even if she asked 10,000 people on the street, they would definitely think that she was an intern in the court.

A college student, not a married woman who has just returned home from a divorce lawsuit.

Unlike her father, who is changing day by day, neither time nor life seems to be able to leave any trace on her face.

"mom……"

After hesitating for an unknown amount of time, seeing the clothes on the sofa getting less and less, and the salutes in the box getting louder and louder, Yin Chengyi finally spoke, and said the first word that any son in the world would learn when he was babbling.

"Um?"

Mi Tang turned around, still smiling. Her smile was as beautiful as the classical Mona Lisa, but more elusive. Even Yin Chengyi, who was connected by blood, felt that he had never guessed what his mother was thinking.

What.

At least...most of the time.

"When...will you come back..."

"You actually didn't ask me 'Why are you leaving?' That's right. Little Chengyi is very mature and a mature man."

Mi Tang smiled, squatted down, and gently rubbed Yin Chengyi's hair. But for some reason, as a "son", he did not feel the slightest warmth. On the contrary, an inexplicable chill permeated down the sky.

, which made him tremble in shock, and he took half a step back, avoiding Mi Tang's attempt to touch the back of his neck, and his eyes became a little frightened when he looked at her.

Under the warm light, Honey's smile became more and more elusive. But when viewed from the side, it was a bit indescribably scary.

strangeness.

really weird.

When did... being alone at home with my mother become so scary?!

Yin Chengyi couldn't explain clearly.

"Don't be afraid, your father is still over there, sorting out some follow-up matters... formalities and so on. I'm bored, so I'll just come back first." Mi Tang still said softly in a voice that was pure and beautiful, like a lark singing.

, "As for Xiao Chengyi's question just now..."

"I won't come back."

For a six-year-old child, this answer is very straightforward, a bit cruel.

But, in a sense, Yin Cheng had expected such an answer all along.

"Is it...what did I do not do well enough?" After struggling for a moment and realizing that if he didn't ask this question, he might regret it for the rest of his life, Yin Chengyi still suppressed the discomfort in his heart and spoke in a pleading tone,

"If so, I will definitely change it in the future! No matter what you want me to do, I will..."

…

The words are not finished yet.

A cold finger gently touched his lips.

"Ah~~ah~~ah~~ Xiao Chengyi, this is not okay. I should have told you many times that a weak attitude will not gain any benefits for you. If you want me to stay anyway

After that, we should change the method...to a more intuitive and powerful method..."

Mi Tang suddenly came over and put her index finger on Yin Chengyi's lips, forcibly interrupting his confession with a weird movement that was completely inconsistent with the identity of "mother". The smile on her face was like some kind of alien code,

It could not be interpreted in any way, and that night, the young Yin Chengyi finally confirmed something that he had suspected a long time ago.

The woman in front of him did not treat him as a normal "son" from the beginning.

"For example, break my legs by force, or beat me continuously, and use pure strength to make me surrender... By then, I will naturally stay with you."

…

The young man was horrified. His small brain capacity was already overloaded. Faced with the arrogance coming from his mother's mouth, he didn't know what to answer.

"Look...you can't do it."

Cold fingers brushed his face and lightly tapped his forehead.

Knowing this moment, Yin Chengyi couldn't tell whether Mi Tang was joking or serious.
