Rebirth: Back to before my girlfriend dropped out of school
Chapter 34 Suddenly I realized that my child had grown up
"Mom, I'm back."
Xia Zhuomian opened the door and shouted inside, then changed into comfortable shoes and walked towards his room. When he arrived in the living room, he found his parents chatting on the sofa.
Xia's mother, Guan Zilan, heard the voice and turned to look at her son. She was a little surprised and asked, "Why are you here so early today? Aren't you going to the library to study?"
"Well, I'm not going today."
How could Guan Zilan not know her son when she heard this? Maybe the person who accompanied him to the library was not available. She really wanted to see the child. She didn't know if the two of them were in a premature love affair. Her heart was in a mess when she thought about this.
Xia Yuansheng was a little confused when he saw that his wife looked unhappy. "What's wrong? It's a good thing that our son likes to study. Why do I feel that you have some concerns?" He always felt that there was a little secret between his wife and son that he didn't know about. Was he excluded like this?
Guan Zilan probably knew something about Xia Zhuomian's rebirth. After a long time, she discovered that her son had concealed something from her husband and obviously did not trust him. Guan Zilan was embarrassed to say it herself, so she subconsciously concealed it. Now when she heard her husband asking, she found that he still knew nothing. In order to respect her son, she immediately changed the subject.
"Didn't you say you were going to a banquet with Yu Cai tomorrow? Do you need me to match you with a set of clothes?"
Speaking of this, Xia Yuansheng instantly forgot his previous doubts and was a little embarrassed. "The market has been sluggish recently, and the company is not as easy to operate as before. I was reluctant to attend this banquet. He is just a local tyrant, and all his business is shady."
Guan Zilan's heart tightened, and she subconsciously asked, "Did Yu Cai ask you to go?"
Xia Yuansheng was stunned and looked at her. "How do you know?" He paused and softened his tone. "What Yu Cai said makes sense. Even if that person is a bad person, there must have been a lot of people attending the banquet that day. I went there to discuss business, and I don't have any business dealings with that person, so I'm not afraid of him."
Guan Zilan was a little dazed for a moment. What her son said finally had some connection with reality. She didn't know whether all this was true or whether it could be believed. But... Yu Cai, they had been friends for more than ten years and were like family to each other. Could he harm us?
"What's wrong with you?" The panic in his wife's eyes frightened Xia Yuansheng. He held his wife's hand tightly to give her strength. "Is there something wrong? Or are you not feeling well? I don't have to go tomorrow."
Guan Zilan suppressed the refusal that was about to emerge from her throat and paused for a second, "It's okay, go ahead, I'll go with you."
"No." Xia Yuansheng rejected her proposal without thinking.
Guan Zilan currently works in a state-owned enterprise and is a public official. If it were known that she had dealings with that kind of person, she would be dismissed immediately. She would not have any business dealings with that person, she was just borrowing the venue to get to know him.
"That person is from the Mu family. It's not convenient for you to go."
Guan Zilan had heard about the Mu family. She understood her husband's concerns and agreed with him after thinking about it. "Then don't go. I think your previous concerns were not unreasonable. We are not on the same path as him and should not have any contact at all."
Xia Yuansheng felt that this was correct. It was indeed wrong to keep in touch with him. He thought deeply for a moment and said, "You're right. I need to think about this matter again."
Not long after the two of them finished talking, Xia Yuansheng received a call and went to deal with something. Guan Zilan sat on the sofa and thought for a long time, and finally couldn't sit still anymore, so she went to find her son.
"Knock knock."
Xia Zhuomian continued to do his homework when he heard the knock on the door. "Come in."
When Guan Zilan walked in, she saw her son doing homework in the room.
"Mom, is there something wrong?" Xia Zhuomian looked up at her, his eyes serious and focused.
Guan Zilan was stunned for a moment and continued, "Oh, Mom wanted to ask you what you want to eat later. Your dad said we should go out to eat tonight."
"Anything is fine with me." Xia Zhuomian thought about it and didn't find anything he particularly wanted to eat.
Guan Zilan nodded without saying much. In fact, they had already agreed to go out for grilled fish in the evening. A few days ago, Xia Yuansheng went out with friends and found a delicious grilled fish restaurant. He wanted to bring his wife and son there. It happened that they were all free tonight, so they discussed going out for dinner together in the evening.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, Xia Zhuomian continued to do his homework. He had to go to Sui Sui's house tomorrow, so he wanted to finish his homework quickly to prevent any accidents.
"Mian."
"What's wrong, Mom?" Xia Zhuomian looked up at her mother again. She looked a little hesitant, and obviously didn't know how to start. Xia Zhuomian immediately put down the pen, turned the chair and looked at her mother.
He is still the same child and looks no different from before, but Guan Zilan still noticed the changes in her son. He has become much calmer and less childish. Take studying for example. He used to love studying, but he also liked to watch TV and eat snacks secretly. But now he can control his desires and has his own ideas. He has changed a lot without her realizing it.
The first time I really discovered that something was wrong with the child was during the summer vacation. He no longer ran around with his cousins at home. He liked to sit on the hillside of the dam when he had nothing to do. He was also a little distant from his father. Sometimes he would even deliberately avoid close contact with his father. Even a few days before his grandmother was about to die, he reminded himself intentionally or unintentionally. He was afraid to sleep at night and kept guarding by his grandmother's bedside. They did know that his grandmother's time was approaching, but none of them was like him, as if they knew it would be that day.
At that time, she had somewhat believed his words about being reborn. She felt both distressed and sad. The child seemed to have grown up overnight, and had many things on his mind that she didn't know about, but she hadn't been able to participate in helping him grow up...
"Baby, if you have anything, you must tell your mother. Don't think about it by yourself." Guan Zilan felt extremely distressed when she thought of the past, and all the questions she wanted to ask disappeared. These were things that adults should take care of. How could she trouble a child? He should be carefree at his age.
Hearing the name "Baby" again, Xia Zhuomian felt a little embarrassed, her face flushed, and she quickly stopped him, "Mom, we used to call you that when we were little, why are you bringing it up again?"
It was at this moment that he seemed to have more of the appearance of a young man. Guan Zilan couldn't help laughing, "You are my baby, it's not wrong to call you that!"
"So, how old am I now?"
"No matter how old you are, you are still my baby. Okay, baby, let's go eat!"
Seeing his mother's satisfied expression, Xia Zhuomian stood up and quickly followed. He was also very happy in his heart, but he said, "You can't yell outside anymore. Give me some face!"
"I understand, little sir, let's go!"
"Where's Dad? Aren't we waiting for him?" Xia Zhuomian couldn't help but ask after he got in the car and found that his father was not there.
"He's busy, let's not wait for him, let's go eat." Guan Zilan waved her hand and quickly decided to leave her father and go first.
Xia Yuanwen hurriedly finished his work at the company and drove home: "? Just like that, I have nothing to do with it? No way!"
