Simple Love [About My Encounter with Bai Yueguang in College]

It was then that Gu Jingchen's mother noticed that the little boy with an innocent and naive face had grown into a big boy who was much taller than her.

Gu Jingchen's mother moved her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but the words seemed to be stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.

The stalemate remained like this, and it was hard to describe the atmosphere. The mother and son, one was sitting with head down, while the other was standing and staring.

Su Xiaomian stuck her head out of the door and looked in carefully. She could hear everything clearly outside, but she felt powerless in the face of this situation.

After all, this is the barrier between them, mother and son. To open the shackles in their hearts, they need to find the key themselves.

All Su Xiaomian could do was give them some hints.

"Can you tell me how you've been doing these years?"

Gu Jingchen's mother sat down gently on the bed but her eyes were still on Gu Jingchen without shifting at all.

"I'm doing fine, that's all."

Gu Jingchen stood up and walked out of the bedroom. As soon as he went out, he saw Su Xiaomian lying on the wall.

Su Xiaomian smiled awkwardly. Gu Jingchen glanced at Su Xiaomian and turned to walk to the balcony to continue squatting and smoking.

Su Xiaomian looked at the mother and son and sighed. To be honest, the relationship between Gu Jingchen and his parents was nothing compared to that between Su Xiaomian and her parents.

Fortunately, Su Xiaomian has always been hopeful and trying to live every day well, while Gu Jingchen is somewhat negative.

Su Xiaomian walked over and sat down next to Gu Jingchen's mother. She was surprised to find that her face seemed to have aged a lot and she looked listless.

"Auntie, take your time. Not all problems can be solved in one day." Su Xiaomian said as she took Gu Jingchen's mother's hand and smiled gently.

"it is good."

Gu Jingchen's mother nodded, and she seemed to be more energetic.

Soon it was noon. Gu Jingchen was cooking in the kitchen while Su Xiaomian and Gu Jingchen's mother were sitting on the sofa.

"I didn't know he could cook. It feels like he's still the same little kid he was before."

The kitchen can be seen from the sofa. Gu Jingchen's mother is sitting on the sofa, and there is more relief in her eyes when she sees Gu Jingchen busy in the kitchen.

"Why don't you go and help your junior? You and your junior have never done anything parent-child together." Su Xiaomian made a suggestion.

Gu Jingchen's mother thought about it and realized that she and Gu Jingchen had indeed not done anything between mother and son. Thinking about it, she stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

Gu Jingchen still had his back to them. Although he could clearly feel someone coming in, he mistakenly thought it was Su Xiaomian.

"Senior, please help me get some salt and MSG."

Gu Jingchen was still looking at the mullet cooking in the pot seriously, without even turning his head to look.

Gu Jingchen's mother looked around for a long time before she found the salt and MSG and handed them to Gu Jingchen.

When taking over, Gu Jingchen touched his mother's hand. He clearly felt some wrinkles on this hand and determined that it was his mother's hand.

However, Gu Jingchen didn't say anything and continued to work on his own things without turning back.

"How long did it take you to learn it?"

Gu Jingchen's mother said this as she tied Gu Jingchen's apron tighter and then combed Gu Jingchen's hair.

"A long time ago."

Gu Jingchen said lightly but still didn't go to see his mother. It was unknown whether it was intentional or unintentional.

"You've had a very hard time these years. I'm sorry as a mother that I couldn't be by your side."

Even though Gu Jingchen was reluctant to see his mother, he shuddered this time and turned to look at his mother.

Although Gu Jingchen's mother usually takes good care of her skin, some wrinkles are inevitable on her face as she gets older.

There was a trace of trance in Gu Jingchen's eyes. He didn't know why, but he felt as if his heart was hit by something. He couldn't say it hurt, nor could he explain exactly what the feeling was. He just felt it was very strange yet a little familiar.

"Don't be distracted, the water will dry up soon." Gu Jingchen's mother said with a smile, and reached out to touch Gu Jingchen's forehead.

Gu Jingchen reacted and nodded, then turned around and went back to cooking.

But his mother just stood beside Gu Jingchen and watched silently without saying a word.

Of course, this scene was also seen by Su Xiaomian. She smiled and took out her mobile phone to take a picture of this scene.

After a while, Gu Jingchen came out of the kitchen holding a white porcelain basin. He carefully placed the basin on the dining table, then opened the lid, and an enticing aroma wafted into the air.

The snow-white fish meat lies in the golden soup, dotted with green coriander and bright red peppers, making people salivate.

Gu Jingchen's mother held the bowl and chopsticks and invited Su Xiaomian to come and eat.

At the dinner table, Gu Jingchen did not pick up his chopsticks first but waited for his mother and Su Xiaomian to taste the food first, while he waited on the side for their comments.

Su Xiaomian gently put the fish fillet into her mouth, closed her eyes, and savored it carefully.

"good to eat."

She opened her eyes and a happy smile appeared on her face.

But Gu Jingchen's mother picked up piece after piece and put it into her mouth to taste.

"It's delicious." Gu Jingchen's mother looked up at Gu Jingchen and praised.

Gu Jingchen's face turned slightly red for a moment. He hummed lightly and picked up the chopsticks to start eating.

Su Xiaomian bought a 2.5-pound mullet. She originally planned to eat it for two meals, but ended up finishing it in one. Even Gu Jingchen finished the rice as well.

Gu Jingchen's mother was a little surprised when watching this scene. Gu Jingchen looked quite thin, the kind of figure that looks thin when dressed and has muscles when undressed. She didn't expect Gu Jingchen to be able to eat so much in one meal.

"It's amazing, isn't it, Auntie?"

While Gu Jingchen was cleaning up the dishes, Su Xiaomian secretly leaned over to Gu Jingchen's mother's ear and whispered something.

"Yeah, I didn't expect him to eat so much. Could it be that he was hungry?"

Seeing Gu Jingchen like this, Gu Jingchen's mother thought that he was often hungry, and even felt that his living expenses were not enough and wanted to give him more.

In fact, Gu Jingchen’s monthly living expenses are much higher than those of ordinary people, and he even has some money left over even though he doesn’t spend it all in a month.

"No, Auntie, he usually eats this much." Su Xiaomian said and told her in detail how he ate in the past.

Gu Jingchen's mother stood at the kitchen door, looking at her busy son inside with gentle eyes.

Her heart was filled with emotion and relief, because she saw that Gu Jingchen had grown quite tall and looked very strong and healthy.

His broad shoulders and solid figure give people a sense of security. The child who once needed care has now grown into a big boy who can live independently and take care of himself.

Gu Jingchen's mother nodded slightly, and continued to look at Gu Jingchen with eyes full of love.

If Su Xiaomian hadn't been here today, she might not have realized that her son had grown so big.

Soon after Gu Jingchen finished washing the dishes, he turned around and saw his mother staring at him.

Gu Jingchen was stunned for a moment. He felt that his mother was a little strange today, but he couldn't put his finger on it. It seemed as if she was just like a normal mother.

"Mom, please move aside. I can't get out like this." Gu Jingchen said.

Gu Jingchen's mother then realized that she was standing at the door blocking Gu Jingchen. She smiled awkwardly and made room for Gu Jingchen.

"I'm sorry to trouble you today."

When Su Xiaomian saw Gu Jingchen and his mother coming out, she quickly patted the person next to her and motioned for them to sit next to her.

Although Gu Jingchen and his mother were puzzled, they still sat next to Su Xiaomian.

"It's a rare opportunity for us to meet today, so let's take a photo."

Su Xiaomian said as she gently pushed Gu Jingchen's mother

Gu Jingchen's mother understood immediately and agreed happily.

Gu Jingchen disagreed at first. When he wanted to get up and go back to the bedroom, Su Xiaomian pulled him back and he had no choice but to continue sitting.

Su Xiaomian exchanged her seat with that of Gu Jingchen's mother, letting Gu Jingchen's mother sit in the center of the seat.

Su Xiaomian picked up her phone, switched to taking a selfie, and then stretched out her hand.

"3.2.1, Eggplant."

As Su Xiaomian finished her last word, the phone in her hand made a crisp shutter sound - "Click"!

"Let me see." Gu Jingchen's mother said as she leaned forward to look at the photos taken by Su Xiaomian.

In the photo, Su Xiaomian had her eyes open and was smiling sweetly, and so was Gu Jingchen's mother. Only Gu Jingchen had a blank expression on her face.

"Auntie, wait for me for a moment." Su Xiaomian said as she pulled Gu Jingchen into the bedroom.

"What are you doing?" Gu Jingchen vaguely felt something and he felt that it was very dangerous now.

After a while, Gu Jingchen's screams were heard from the bedroom. As the screams sounded, Su Xiaomian walked out, followed by Gu Jingchen who was covering his ears.

Su Xiaomian just pulled Gu Jingchen into the bedroom for some psychological education, but Gu Jingchen didn't listen.

The result was that Su Xiaomian grabbed his ears and gave him a severe lecture.

"Let's take another photo." Su Xiaomian said and sat back in her original position.

Gu Jingchen covered his ears and sat quietly next to his mother.

Gu Jingchen's mother had long guessed what Su Xiaomian was going to do when she went in, but she had never guessed that Su Xiaomian could treat Gu Jingchen so well. She couldn't help but give Su Xiaomian a thumbs up.

"Okay." said Gu Jingchen's mother.

"I have no objection." Gu Jingchen said weakly, putting down his hands that were covering his ears and making a "yeah" gesture.

"3.2.1, eggplant." Su Xiaomian picked up her phone and took another photo.

In the photo, Su Xiaomian was smiling gently, and seemed even happier than before. Gu Jingchen's mother was also grinning from ear to ear, while Gu Jingchen showed a very forced smile and made a "yeah" gesture with his hand, while his right ear was still red.

"That's great."

Gu Jingchen's mother found the photo inexplicably funny, mainly because Gu Jingchen's smile clearly looked like he was threatened.

(This future daughter-in-law is quite amazing.) Gu Jingchen’s mother smiled even more happily as she thought about it.

Afterwards, Gu Jingchen's mother added Su Xiaomian's contact information and asked her to send the photo to her.

About another hour passed.

"Okay, it's time for me to go too." Gu Jingchen's mother said as she stood up and made a goodbye gesture to Su Xiaomian.

"Goodbye, Auntie." Su Xiaomian also stretched out her hand and waved gently.

Gu Jingchen crossed his arms and looked at it. For some reason, he felt like he had something he wanted to say.

"Do you want me to drive you?" Gu Jingchen turned his head and said embarrassedly.

"No, I'll take a taxi there."

Gu Jingchen's mother put on her shoes, opened the door, and was about to walk out.

"Goodbye, Mom."

Just then, a faint sound suddenly came, like the buzzing of a mosquito.

Su Xiaomian and Gu Jingchen's mother turned their heads and found that the owner of the voice was Gu Jingchen. He lowered his head tightly, as if he was a little shy or afraid of being seen.

"Okay, bye." Gu Jingchen's mother seemed very happy. The corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a bright smile. There was a gleam of joy in her eyes, and her face was filled with satisfaction and happiness.

Her mood was obviously cheered up by her communication with Gu Jingchen, and her whole body exuded a joyful aura.
