Afterwards, Fang Ran obediently walked around the rest of the brand stores with her as if he was trying to compensate Zhang Xiaorou.

"Hey, do they think I'm your girlfriend?" Zhang Xiaorou approached Fang Ran and asked softly.When they walked over just now, someone seemed to have recognized Fang Ran. Seeing a young girl following Fang Ran, they all looked at Zhang Xiaorou, but no one knew who she was.

"Why do they think my vision is so bad?" Fang Ran muttered in a low voice.

After Zhang Xiaorou heard it, she patted Fang Ran angrily, every time Fang Ran's answer would anger her unexpectedly.

"Going home?" Fang Ran asked casually after seeing that they finished shopping.

"I don't want to go back yet." Zhang Xiaorou said reluctantly.

"Then where else do you want to go?"

"Hmm..." Zhang Xiaorou really thought about it, "Hey, didn't you tell me that your little boy opened a bar before? Go and have a look!" Zhang Xiaorou became excited again after thinking about this.

Fang Ran smiled helplessly, "The bar is gone, do you want to go to the KTV?"

"Huh? Why?"

"I'll talk to you later, and you can just say whether to go or not."

"Go!" Zhang Xiaorou excitedly pulled Fang Ran towards the elevator after speaking.

"Wait," just a few steps away, Zhang Xiaorou took Fang Ran and turned to a men's clothing store.

"what happened again?"

"This is the brand's new tie this year." Zhang Xiaorou was a little excited, as if she had discovered some treasure.

"So? Buy it for your boyfriend?" Fang Ran's words were somewhat ironic.He saw that the tie was for young people, so he joked casually.

Zhang Xiaorou glanced at Fang Ran, "I bought it for you! I've been shopping with me for a day, so don't say that I abused you."

"So nice? Thank you, sister!" Fang Ran was never polite to his cousin.

After entering the store, Fang Ran discovered that the tie actually had two colors as the base color. The red one looked trendy and more individual, while the blue one was more versatile and made it look more low-key and clean.

Sure enough, his cousin chose a red one for him, which really fits Zhang Xiaorou's style.

But Fang Ran suddenly thought of something and asked the clerk to pack the blue one as well.

"What are you doing?" When swiping the card, Zhang Xiaorou saw that Fang Ran had bought another one.

"You give me that one, I'll give this away." Fang Ran said as he handed the card to the cashier.

"Send to whom?"

"friend."

Accompanied by the heat and the sound of "呲呲" when the cooking came out of the pan, Xia Chenxuan brought the last dish to the table.

"Mom, let's eat." Xia Chenxuan whispered to his mother.

Xia's mother responded, then sat down at the dining table and began to eat.

During the meal, neither of them spoke. Although they sat face to face at the same table and ate, they both had their own concerns and chose to remain silent.

Xia Chenxuan felt a little bitter in his heart, they didn't look like a mother and son at all.Others might not be able to accept this silent atmosphere at all, but he is used to it. He used to eat like this when he was a child, and it is like this now, it's just that the person who cooks has changed.

In the middle of the meal, Xia's mother looked up at Xia Chenxuan, and then picked up some food for him.

"Thank you." Xia Chenxuan simply responded.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Xia's mother's eyes when she heard it, and then she silently bowed her head to eat again.

After a while, Mother Xia hesitated for a moment, but stopped the chopsticks in her hand.

Xia Chenxuan noticed it and raised his head to look at his mother, "Mom, why don't you eat?"

"I'm done eating."

"Then go and rest on the sofa, I'll clean up here."

Xia's mother didn't get up and leave after hearing this, as if she had something to say, but she hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?" Xia Chenxuan saw his mother's hesitation.

"Xuanxuan, do you have the phone number of that child today?" Mama Xia asked cautiously.

Xia Chenxuan froze for a moment, he didn't answer his mother's question directly, but asked softly, "What's the matter?"

Mother Xia thought about it before she said it, "I want to know what's going on at the hospital."

"Well, then I'll ask you later." Xia Chenxuan didn't change his mood, and continued to eat naturally after speaking.

"Xuanxuan", Mama Xia stopped him again.

"Mom, just say what you want to say." Xia Chenxuan saw that his mother had something on his mind, so he didn't want to keep being so reserved.

Mother Xia paused for a moment, and said with a trembling voice, "Can you forgive him?"

"No." Xia Chenxuan returned lightly.

"Then can you forgive mom?" Mother Xia's tone was a little more excited than before.

"Mom, why did you ask that?" Xia Chenxuan's tone was not surprised, but more patient. "You are my mother, and you didn't apologize to me. It was the man who gave up voluntarily at the beginning, and I had nothing to do with him at that time. Doesn't my birth certificate also say that my father is unknown?"

Xia's mother frowned even more after hearing this. She remembered that Xia Chenxuan said the same to that man at noon today.Said that he didn't hate that man, because they had nothing to do with each other.His tone at that time was also so calm, as if he was chatting with a stranger, although they really met for the first time.

"Xuanxuan, don't be like this, mom begs you." Mother Xia's voice was a little choked up.

"Mom, let's not talk about this issue, okay? I'll get you a glass of water." Xia Chenxuan said as he was about to get up.

"Xuanxuan", Xia's mother stopped him, "Did you hear those words at that time?" When she said this, Xia's mother seemed to use all her courage to say it. "...when you were nine years old" Mama Xia added in a very small voice.

After hearing this, Xia Chenxuan's mind went blank for a moment, and he suddenly didn't know how to answer, even though he hadn't cared about it for a long time.

He knew what his mother was talking about. It was when he was in elementary school, and he didn't know why he got out of school so early that day. If it was later, he should not have heard the conversation between his mother and another person.

"Mom, I'm sorry." Xia Chenxuan didn't deny it, and looked at his mother after a long time and said.

He knew it was impolite to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, but his mother had always been indifferent to him when he was a child. He thought about whether he didn't love him, but later he heard from his teacher that some people's love is not good at expressing and buried in their hearts Yes, so when he heard something about him outside the door, curiosity drove him to listen.He wanted to hear what his mother had said about him to others.

But what he heard afterwards made him unacceptable.

Xia's mother closed her eyes sadly after hearing Xia Chenxuan's answer, as if trying to hold back her tears.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Xia Chenxuan hurried over after seeing her mother crying. "I can understand you. I know that you have suffered too much because of me, and I also know that you might have a better life if it wasn't for me." Xia Chenxuan explained in a panic.

"Xuanxuan, mother loves you, I never regret giving birth to you, I..." Xia's mother didn't know what to say, although none of them had made it clear over the years, but they all tacitly agreed, today suddenly After talking, Mother Xia didn't know how to face her son.

Indeed, the birth of this child was so unfortunate that she was not ready to be a mother.Because this child is not understood by her parents, she can only come to live in a foreign land.The pressure of life made her often close herself up, not wanting to communicate with the child, and it also made her complain about the arrival of the child when she collapsed to the point of losing her mind.It wasn't until time passed that she realized what a failed mother she was, trying to make up for her child, only to find that the child was no longer close to her.

"Mom, calm down! Listen to me." Xia Chenxuan squatted down and supported his mother's shoulders.This was the first time that his mother shed tears in front of him. Although his mother had also shed tears secretly because of troubles in work or life before, it was never this kind of sadness. "Yes, I was really sad and desperate when I first saw those words, but when I grow up, I can understand your difficulties. Mom, I don't blame you."

"But, I found that you are getting farther and farther away from me." Mother Xia said what was in her heart.Since Xia Chenxuan left home to go to college, she saw only a handful of days a year with her son.Even if she finally saw her son, she didn't know what to say. When she was young, she didn't have a heart-to-heart talk with him, and now she doesn't understand him even more.She felt that the distance between them had existed for a long time.

"Mom, you are too tired today, take a rest, let's not talk about this issue." Xia Chenxuan comforted his mother.

Mother Xia didn't speak, but nodded silently.She didn't know why she chose to bring up the issue that had been shelved for many years today. It may be that what happened in the restaurant today reminded her that if some issues are not dealt with, they may become eternal regrets.
