Shui Anluo held her child and watched as He Xiaoran left. Everyone in the Chu family was very strange. These words had been clearly directed at her as if saying that she would certainly be unable to stay in the hospital.
Shui Anluo looked down at the little darling. The little darling stared back at her and cooed. Both mother and son did not know what to think.
When Chu Ningyi returned from work, Shui Anluo was seated on the floor as she read a book while the little darling was playing with the toys in his cot.
Chu Ningyi stood at the doorway and watched the mother and son. The corners of his lips lifted into a small smile. When had his first priority after working hours shifted to coming home to see this mother and son?
“I can’t remember this, I can’t remember this.” Shui Anluo smacked her head on the table and muttered to herself. If the director suddenly tested her on these things tomorrow, she would be dead meat.
Chu Ningyi hung his coat on the clothes hanger and headed over to the couch to sit down. His hand reached out to stroke her head, showing a comforting sense of character.
Shui Anluo looked up and stared at Chu Ningyi as if she has given up on life. “Your mother was here today.”
Chu Ningyi leaned against the back of the chair, waiting for her to continue.
“Forget it, I’d better continue memorizing,” said Shui Anluo. She suddenly did not intend to tell Chu Ningyi about the conversation between her and her ex-mother-in-law.
Chu Ningyi stared at the ‘death is better than life’ look on her face. He got up and patted her head again before he turned and went upstairs to shower.
Shui Anluo chewed on the pen in her hand. She could already picture what she would be facing tomorrow.
It was an obvious tragedy. The old director would never spare her.
Shui Anluo reached out and touched the phone on the table. Should I call Qiao Yaruan and ask her what to do?
At this moment, Qiao Yaruan was packing. When she picked up the call, she allowed Shui Anluo to finish howling before speaking, “School’s starting next week, I’m going back to stay at the university. What about you?”
“What do you think? Can I take the baby and leave?” Shui Anluo lay on the table and huffed. “Why must you go back and stay on campus? Weren’t you comfortable staying at my house? I’m not even collecting rent from you.”
“I’m afraid that I might commit an unforgivable crime if I don’t leave,” Qiao Yaruan replied bleakly.
“What, are you going to bring disaster upon my home?” Shui Anluo sat up straight and gently patted the little darling who was beginning to grow restless in his cot. The little darling would naturally grow restless if he had lain down for too long.
Qiao Yaruan lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling. “I have to keep watch over a handsome man every day yet I cannot pounce on him. Can you understand the agony?”
“I understand, I understand, you love-struck idiot,” Shui Anluo rolled her eyes as she replied. “What about the internship? Will you still be with me?”
“I have to stay or you’ll get chewed up,” Qiao Yaruan said as she suddenly hugged her pillow and got up. “Do you know who this Director Qiao is?”
“Who, your grandmother?”
“Nonsense. If my grandmother had the Qiao surname, would my father still have the Qiao surname?”
“Isn’t there such thing as direct relations?” Shui Anluo did not understand.
“That’s true,” Qiao Yaruan realized. “Quit distracting me with your nonsense, what I’m trying to tell you is this — Qiao Huihe was involved in most small and large disaster regions in the country. The point is, only three students have managed to enter the door to her supervision. One is our honored headmaster, one is the director of the municipal hospital, and one is currently giving a talk in America. So, it’s strange for her to pity you…”
Shui Anluo was absolutely horrified when she heard this. “No, no, what do you mean by pity?”
“What can I do, I’m a top student.” Qiao Yaruan grinned.
Shui Anluo stared at her phone in disbelief, dearling wishing that she could grab the person on the other end of the phone and bite her.
