"I heard my brother say she has a high fever today."
"She must have been scared." Zhang Yun was extremely worried and wished she could come see me right away. Shen Yulin remained silent, leaning against the wall, staring blankly at the sky, exhaling smoke.
After a while, he stretched and said, "I'm leaving first."
When Shen Yulin got home, he saw the housekeeper still cooking. He went upstairs, feeling terrible after a night without returning home or showering. As he approached his mother's room, he noticed the door was not fully closed. Just as he was about to knock and greet her, he overheard something shocking from inside.
"What kind of business are you running? You can't even avoid the surveillance when kidnapping a little girl?"
"I don't care if your business fails. If my son finds out what happened, you're finished..."
Shen Yulin felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him. He froze, incredulously listening to the words coming from inside the room.
So it was Mom who took Xingxing away?
Why would she do this?
Should I go in and confront her?
Thinking of this, Shen Yulin could no longer hold back and pushed the door open. He saw his mother hurriedly hanging up the phone and turning around, forcing a smile as she said, "Yulin, you're back."
"Mom, did you hire someone to take Xingxing away?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't know anything about her."
Shen Yulin knew that questioning her like this would not lead to an admission, so he pretended to be very sad and accused her, "You want us to break up? Fine! But why did you hire someone to ruin her reputation? How can she live with that in the future?"
"That's impossible! I clearly instructed them to just scare her; I never said to ruin her reputation." His mother stepped back two steps. She only wanted to frighten the girl; she didn't intend to hurt her.
"So it really was you." Shen Yulin's expression suddenly changed; his sadness was replaced by anger. He never expected that the true culprit would be his mother—the one who always claimed to love him most—who hurt others for her own sake.
"I..." His mother finally realized that it was her son who had overheard her conversation, but it was too late; she had already fallen into the trap and indirectly admitted to everything. She no longer tried to defend herself and sat down on the bed in despair, knowing she had hurt her son's feelings this time.
"I know you care about me, but I don't want you to use that as an excuse to hurt others. Moreover, this time it's someone I like. If anything happens to her, how can I live with myself for the rest of my life?" Shen Yulin shouted at his mother, venting all his anger on her. After saying this, he slammed the door shut and returned to his room. He took off his clothes and walked into the bathroom, turning on the shower and letting the water wash over him continuously. He wiped his eyes but couldn't tell if it was water or tears.
Xingxing, what should I do?
Xingxing, how will I face you in the future?
Thinking of this, he sat down on the floor in despair, lost in thought about where their relationship would go from here.
My fever finally subsided, but my body felt like it was falling apart; my throat hurt badly. After three days of eating and sleeping well, my weight hadn't increased at all—in fact, it had dropped. Standing on the scale and watching the fluctuating numbers left me speechless. My father had not submitted any articles for several days because of me; now there was no way to avoid it and had to let my aunt take care of me instead.
In the evening, Zhang Yun came over carrying bags of things. I joked that she was moving her belongings into my house. She playfully scolded me: "You ungrateful person! Such a big thing happened and you didn't tell me! I only found out because I pressured Cheng Haifeng with Third Master!"
I nodded repeatedly and smiled apologetically, "It's not without reason; it was just so sudden that I didn't even have time to react. Look at me now, I'm perfectly fine!" As I said this, I stood up and turned around in a circle.
