Bro, you are a policeman, not a thug

A week passed in a blink of an eye and the sun was setting high in the sky.

After school and dinner, Xiao Mu was lying on a lounge chair in the yard.

I was looking at WeChat on my phone and eating the fruit handed to me by Brother Qiu.

Family group.

Xiao Mu: The eldest prince has arrived, come and greet him.

Ten seconds later.

Liu Yunying: Little bastard, did I not hit you lightly? Do you dare to let your mother greet you?

Xiao Mu: Hey, Mom, do you know that you are the best mom in the world?

Liu Yunying: Stop talking. Who are you trying to trick? Don’t you have any money to spend?

Xiao Mu: Mom, is this the image of me in your mind?

Liu Yunying: You know, it’s mainly because your image is too bad. I’m still a teacher and I’m embarrassed to say swear words.

Xiao Mu: ...

She is indeed my biological mother. It makes me cry.

Liu Yunying: Tell me, do you want money or something else? Don’t say you miss me. Look, there has been no news from you for several days. If your father wasn’t a policeman, I almost called the police.

Xiao Mu: Mom, I was wrong, but I was really busy recently. Not only was I defending my country, but I was also fighting wits and courage with people from foreign countries. I was almost exhausted.

Liu Yunying: Outwitting foreigners? Son, don't you even have a reaction when you brag? Have you been writing a novel lately? I feel like your imagination is getting a bit limited. You should be fighting aliens. If your imagination is too limited, you'll be letting your readers down. What if readers send you razor blades? If you're too far away, Mom's afraid her invisible wings won't be able to protect you!

Xiao Mu: ...

I felt offended by my mother and was so angry that I was shivering.

But that's how people are. When you tell the truth, no one really believes it.

Ye Qiuling, who was peeking at the side, was watching with great interest, her eyes narrowed with a smile.

The conversation between the child and the aunt is so funny.

But the next moment, she couldn't laugh anymore.

Xiao Mu: Mom, actually I want to tell you that I have a girlfriend.

Liu Yunying: Is this true?

Xiao Mu: 24K innocence.

Liu Yunying: Sure, son. You are indeed my good son. Will you bring him home this year?

Xiao Mu: Mom, you’re going too far. Can I be your good son only if I have a girlfriend?

Liu Yunying: What else? Besides finding a wife and giving me a grandson, what else is your purpose?

Xiao Mu: ...

Liu Yunying: Tell me quickly, where is your daughter from and how old is she?

Xiao Mu: From Beijing, a little older...

Liu Yunying: Bigger? Does that mean bigger than you, or bigger than me and your dad?

Xiao Mu: That’s an exaggeration. Of course he is older than me. He is only 22.

Liu Yunying: This is no big deal. I almost scared my mom to death. Are you sick?

Xiao Mu: ...

Liu Yunying: Can I take it home during the winter vacation?

Xiao Mu: This... maybe I can.

Liu Yunying: That’s good. I’ll call your dad later. He hasn’t come back for almost a week.

Xiao Mu: Huh? A week?

Liu Yunying: I heard from your dad that he seemed to have encountered a strange case...

A strange case?

Xiao Mu frowned.

Considering my dad’s current level, it seems like he won’t encounter any major cases, right?

Liu Yunying: I won’t say anymore. Mom is going to cook. Don’t forget to bring it back to my daughter-in-law during the winter vacation. If you don’t bring it back, watch out for your legs.

Xiao Mu: Got it!

……

Finished chatting with my mom.

Xiao Mu held Brother Qiu on his lap and asked with a smile, "Did you see everything?"

Ye Qiuling nodded and said softly, "Auntie is a very nice person."

"Who did you learn this kind of lying with open eyes from?" Xiao Mu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"With you." Ye Qiu'er said confidently.

"Do you believe I'll beat you up?" Xiao Mu raised his fist.

Ye Qiuling curled her lips quietly, enduring the humiliation with a wronged look on her face.

"Don't you want to go?"

Xiao Mu teased him deliberately, "Ice City is really fun."

"Will Auntie dislike me?"

Ye Qiu'er moved her butt and leaned into his arms, feeling a little worried.

"As long as you come to my house, you will become my mother's biological child, and I will become wild."

Xiao Mu smiled and said, "Want to make a bet?"

"Ha ha……"

Ye Qiuling seemed to find it very interesting and giggled, adding a touch of girlish charm to her appearance.

"Then it's settled."

Xiao Mu held her in his arms, gazing at the afterglow of the setting sun, and began to brainwash her… no, to make empty promises. “Let’s go together when the time comes. We’ll go see the snow and play on the ice. I’ll take you on a dog sled and on the ice slide. Then we’ll roll around in the snow and have a snowball fight. How about that?”

Ye Qiu'er leaned in his arms like a little bird.

Expectation already flickered in his eyes.

It will definitely be fun!

"Why aren't you talking?" Xiao Mu looked at her.

"I was wondering what you were like when you were a child." Ye Qiuling smiled.

"When you were a kid?"

Xiao Mu was shameless. "I'm not bragging, my nickname is 'other people's kid'. I'm a giant in the eyes of my classmates, the pride of my teachers, the glory of my parents, and I can do anything..."

Ye Qiuling: ...

It's been a long time since I saw someone brag so refreshingly.

"What else do you want to know?"

Xiao Mu pinched her cheek with a doting look in his eyes.

Ye Qiuling's eyes lit up, "Tell me about your uncle?"

Xiao Mu paused and nodded.

My thoughts were lost in memories...

"I remember when I was in kindergarten, I always felt proud because my dad was a policeman."

Xiao Mu murmured, "But when I entered elementary school, I stopped being proud."

"why?"

Ye Qiulan rested her head on his shoulder, her delicate face full of curiosity.

"Because when I was in primary school, every time my dad came to pick me up from school, we would stand at the bus stop and wait for the bus."

Xiao Mu continued, "From time to time, I would see my classmates' parents driving by, and my classmates would greet me. At that time, I felt like my pride was gone, and I really wanted my dad to buy a car too."

"Later I realized that I wasn't proud at all, and I even felt a little inferior."

"When I grew up and became more sensible, I discovered many things and recalled many memories."

"I still remember my dad picking me up from school on the first day. It was raining heavily and there was no awning at the bus stop. My dad took off his coat, held it up, and put it over my head to protect me from the rain."

"When the bus arrived, my dad and I ran onto it, laughing so hard. We were so happy. There was only one seat on the bus, so my dad let me sit."

"The sky is clear now. The air outside the car is very fresh when it blows in. The setting sun outside the window at that moment seems to fall on Dad's face, shining golden."

"My father's hair was still very black at that time, his back was very straight, and his hands were very strong. In my eyes, he was like a mountain, standing firmly and steadily."

Xiao Mu looked at the sunset in the distance and said, "I still think that Dad will always be like this and will always be by my side!"

At that time, I thought it was normal until my father died in my previous life.

When I recalled everything, I realized how happy I was at that time.

In this life, he only hopes that his parents can grow old slowly.

Slower, longer!
