On the other end of the phone, her voice was very clear. "Now you little rascal, do you dare to set a time for me? I can call you whenever I want! Have you forgotten who I am? I'm your mother, and I gave you life, so I have the freedom to call whenever I please. Besides, you just got home, and I made sure to time my call perfectly.
If I called you while you were working, it would definitely disrupt your job. Then you'd complain about it later, saying it was just the right moment for me to call. You just got home and haven't done anything yet, so I think you shouldn't underestimate me. Although I might call you a bit more often than necessary, every time I do, I make sure not to interrupt anything important you're doing."
The boy on the other end of the line smiled slightly, but his tone remained icy. "Fine, since I’m not being disturbed during my rest, let’s get straight to the point. What is it that you want? I know you wouldn’t call unless it was important. Let’s skip the small talk and get right to it; no need to waste anyone's time. Just tell me what you need, and I'll see if I can help. If I can do it, of course, I'll be happy to help; but if not, don’t be disappointed."
Even though his mother couldn’t see his expression on the other end of the line, he knew she must be thrilled because he could feel her positive energy through her words.
"I knew my son would agree! Every request I make is something I believe you'll never refuse. I'm sure this time will be no different; you won't say no to your mother, right? After all, you're my son. Whatever I ask of you, I'll always consider your best interests first—I would never let you down; you can trust that."
Holding the phone in one hand, the boy pressed the speakerphone button and placed it on the table for convenience while he attended to other tasks.
He had a good habit: when he entered his home, the first thing he did was change out of his shoes into a clean pair for walking around indoors. The second thing was pouring himself a glass of hot water.
This habit had been maintained for many years; regardless of where he lived, he had never changed it. Even when living alone, he was quite particular about cleanliness and valued his quality of life. He always kept a large cup of hot water on his desk to ensure he had something to drink when he felt thirsty.
Every time Xu Shen received such a call, it brought him unexpected surprises because his mother would assign him tasks he didn’t want to do but felt unable to refuse. After all, every time she asked him for help with something, it was always for the benefit of their family. So no matter how reluctant he felt about doing these things, he couldn’t turn down opportunities that would bring more benefits home.
Thus, while he might express reluctance verbally, he had never actually refused her requests and always followed through with what she asked.
