Rebirth: My Mother is a Virgin Mary

The mother and her two children chatted until midnight, and their conversation was all sorts of colorful and exaggerated - their resentment towards Cheng Xingmin, their complaints about Cheng's family, their sighs for the past, their prospects for the future... If I hadn't been so sleepy that my eyelids felt like they were weighed down by bricks and were about to droop every second, and every cell in my body was telling me how sleepy they were, Cheng Xinyuan would have noticed my embarrassment and stopped this endless chat in time.

Ms. Lin also realized that we were chatting too late, so she quickly asked us to go upstairs to sleep. She hugged me lovingly and said to me softly: "Lin Lin, thank you~"

I almost crawled back to the room using my hands and feet. Cheng Xinyuan wanted to carry me upstairs, but I refused! Just like a drunk person won't admit that he is drunk, I also said that I was not sleepy. Of course, I didn't see Cheng Xinyuan rolling his eyes at me.

I have never felt so close to Ms. Lin. Everything that happened today seemed to be a key to unlock the shackles of our hearts. People who once thought there was a gap between us opened their hearts on this day. I don't know how long she can hold on, but at least now, I am immersed in it. The warmth that I have never enjoyed in two lives has been sublimated at this moment.

I washed my face and woke up with a start. The sleepiness just now disappeared. I thought I could go down and chat with Ms. Lin all night. But no, it was already late. People need to rest, and we have to talk in moderation. How can we finish everything at once? For Ms. Lin, the amount of information today is too much, almost overturning her previous cognition. She needs time to digest it. What's more, I don't think Ms. Lin will have a complete transformation after these two days. Change is certain, but some ideas engraved in her bones can't be changed just like that. Everything has to be done slowly. When she tastes the sweetness of change, she will change herself without waiting for others to tell her...

Hiss, why do I feel like I am formulating a strategy to help my child grow up...

On the other hand, I have to admire Cheng Xinyuan's energy. He was having a lot of fun playing games on my phone. Why did he love to sneak into my room so much? He also said that my bed was softer than his. Aren't they the same bed? While playing games, he said, "Sister, if mom can't change her phone, she can change yours too. You two can both change to new ones~"

How could I not see his little trick?

"Well, I'll also get a new phone, and this one will be yours, right?"

“Hehehe~” He pulled himself away from the game for a moment, looked up at me, “Oh, the sleepiness is over now. You didn’t even know you were so listless just now, hahahaha, I was dying of laughter!”

There was still water on my hands, so I deliberately shook my hands in front of him, and small drops of water splashed on his face. He didn't wipe them off, and curled his lips: "Sister, can you talk to our mom tomorrow and ask her not to let me go to the tutoring class?"

"Hmm? Did our mom sign you up for a tutoring class?"

"Well, it's almost the third year of junior high school, and my grades have fallen a lot. My mom immediately signed me up for tutoring classes in English, math, and physics. I'm a bit overwhelmed~"

"Although, to put it bluntly, I am really thinking about you~"

"Then why don't you give me tutoring? Mom will give you the tuition money! It's a good idea to keep it within the family. I don't think you can be any worse than the tutor at the tutoring class~"

"No! Even if I don't understand your learning status, don't I understand myself?" I fiddled with the only lotion and skin care set on the dressing table, complaining in my heart that this was too cold, and I was really sorry for my delicate face now. "If you want me to give you extra lessons, with how much I dote on you, I can't bear to be strict with you. Well, I have been a tutor, but that is another attitude. I can't do it to you! So professional things have to be done by professionals. This money is worth it for us moms." This is my sincere words. Don't say that I couldn't bear to be cruel to Cheng Xinyuan before. I was reborn. Facing Cheng Xinyuan who is now in good health, my mind is full of how to protect him. Let me give him extra lessons? It's good if he doesn't get worse with extra lessons...

Cheng Xinyuan gave me a speechless expression.

I do have a question I want to ask him: "Hey, you told mom that the political notes you are using now were left by me back then. Are they fake? Are they meant to enhance my glorious and upright image?" I have graduated from junior high school for many years. Even if there is a legend, I don't believe it can last that long.

"How can this be fake? Of course it's true!"

Eh? Really?

Cheng Xinyuan saw that I clearly didn't believe him. "How do you think the teachers knew I was your brother? I know you were quite famous when you were in No. 1 Middle School, but you had already graduated when I was in No. 1 Middle School, and I don't think my sister's fame would last for so many years. But that's the fact. Every time Teacher Zheng gave us printed notes for us to memorize, she would emphasize that these were notes left by the seniors who had already graduated. She just added some new knowledge points every year. At first, I didn't know that the legendary senior she was talking about was you, but I couldn't stop someone from asking out of curiosity. So whenever she had time, Teacher Zheng would talk about the senior's glorious deeds back then. As she talked, I got the hint. When I looked at the notes again, the more I looked at them, the more they looked like your handwriting. How many people can write with your handwriting? Then I came clean. You didn't even know that Teacher Zheng was so excited that she wanted to make me the representative of the political class on the spot!"

I imagined Teacher Zheng's expression and found it cute and funny: "So your grades are like this...did any teacher say anything to you?"

"Of course! More than one teacher has said this, Cheng Xinyuan, your sister's grades are so good, why don't you be like her~" Cheng Xinyuan raised his finger and imitated seriously.

"Then you don't feel uncomfortable?"

"Why are you uncomfortable? I'm enjoying it to death, okay? I know my level and my mentality is good. I also advise the teacher, teacher, God is fair. Our family is lucky to have a top student like my sister, and if there is someone like me, others will be mad to death~" Cheng Xinyuan's words made me laugh.

"Sister, don't say that you underestimated yourself. We all underestimated your influence in school. If you don't believe me, you can go and send me off when school starts. Anyway, you start school much later than me. Just see how your teachers react when they see you!" Cheng Xinyuan said seriously.

"Aren't you afraid of living in my shadow forever?"

"What shadow? That's the halo of honor you created for me! Others want it but don't have it yet!"

"Then...can I have some expectations of you?"

"You say, you say, you say..." Cheng Xinyuan held his cheek and looked at me with starry eyes.

"Well...you should put more effort into your studies and make sure you get into the No. 1 high school in the county!"

"What kind of request is that? Even if you don't tell me, I will definitely get into the No. 1 high school in the county!" Cheng Xinyuan looked disappointed.

How could this not be an expectation? In my previous life, I was disillusioned with this family. I seldom went home after entering college, and I didn’t care as much about Cheng Xinyuan as before. Even though Ms. Lin kept a close eye on him, his high school entrance exam score was not enough to get into the county’s No. 1 high school. Later, Ms. Lin paid a high tuition fee to send him to a private high school in the next county. It was in that high school that Cheng Xinyuan’s life was almost ruined…

Cheng Xinyuan lived on campus in a dormitory building that had just been built. It was close to the weekend, so Cheng Xinyuan and another classmate left a day later. There were not many students in the entire dormitory building, but that night, the dormitory building collapsed. Cheng Xinyuan lived on the first floor, and he and his classmates were buried under the rubble for two whole days... The severity of the accident was reported by CCTV for a whole week, the school was directly closed, the relevant person in charge was also detained, and the lawsuit lasted for an unknown amount of time... But compared to Cheng Xinyuan's suffering, all these were nothing...

When the firefighters were rescuing Cheng Xinyuan and his classmates, they encountered the same problem as in the movie "Aftershock". They could only rescue one person... I was not at the scene, and I don't know what circumstances could cause such a problem. They could only rescue one person first. Cheng Xinyuan's parents had not arrived yet. Ms. Lin was at the scene, and everyone was waiting for a decision: who to rescue first?

I don’t know and I don’t understand what kind of mentality Ms. Lin had when she said, “Save the other child first… my son… will understand me!”

The firefighters rescued Cheng Xinyuan's classmate first. He only suffered some minor injuries and was not seriously injured. Cheng Xinyuan's left leg was useless because he was pressed for too long. Even after the doctor's full treatment, his left leg had to be amputated to save his life... The doctor said that if he had been sent to the hospital earlier, he could still have been saved.

When my uncle told me, I was about to go to Beijing to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Under such circumstances, no one would choose to go to Beijing, even if I ranked first in the first exam of Peking University...

I took a deep breath and said to Cheng Xinyuan, "Of course I have other expectations for you. In addition to getting into the No. 1 Middle School in the county and having a good home, I hope you will always be safe, healthy, happy, and cheerful!"

I said this very sincerely, and Cheng Xinyuan became serious when he heard it: "Sister, you have never..."

"Well, now I have it!" I interrupted him before he finished speaking, "Cheng Xinyuan, listen, this is just my personal expectation for you, and it has nothing to do with others. No matter how capable you are in the future, I just hope you are safe! I can't be by your side forever, you have to be able to protect yourself. I can allow you to catch a cold due to carelessness, and be unhappy for a moment, but if you lose a hair or a nail, I will never let you go!"

"But I also want to protect you..." Cheng Xinyuan looked at me sadly and said seriously.

"I don't need your protection!" I was a little choked up, but I also realized that I scared Cheng Xinyuan, so my tone softened. "You are already protecting me. Isn't it the best protection to always be by my side? You will have your own family in the future, and it's good that you have enough ability to protect your little family. If you are fine, everything will be fine..."

"Sister..." Cheng Xinyuan blushed for a moment, and came up to hug me, "I also hope that you will be safe and happy forever! Don't say that I have such a long-standing family. How old am I? It's you. When I was in elementary school, I envied others for having a brother-in-law. Look at me..."

"roll!"

I pushed Cheng Xinyuan away and rushed him out of my room. He was bringing up all sorts of issues. How annoying...
