I finally waited for the end of class.
The teacher had barely left when I rushed out of the classroom to the door of Wu Qingxue’s classroom.
I grabbed one of her students and asked him to call Wu Qingxue out.
My classmate gave me a strange look and said that Wu Qingxue hadn’t come to school today .
I was stunned.
I couldn’t even explain things to him immediately.
I took out my phone to call him but realized I didn’t have her number saved.
I asked my classmate, but she didn’t know either, and her gaze towards me became even stranger .
“Fan-ge, where have you been?
I’ve been waiting for you for ages!” I returned to the classroom door dejectedly, only to find Liu Peng already waiting there .
“I just went to find Wu Qingxue to explain things to her, but she didn’t come to school today, and I don’t have her phone number saved.
I’m doomed!” I leaned against the railing, feeling very distressed .
“Brother Fan, I saw the video.
It really wasn’t us.
There were other people on the court at the time, people who often hang out there.
Maybe someone who knows you filmed it.
”
Liu Peng also lay down next to me and explained earnestly .
“Sigh…
don’t say anymore, I believe you.” I waved my hand weakly and said, “Let’s talk about this after school, there’s nothing I can do about it.
”
Sure enough, this kind of thing is the perfect topic of conversation for students who are still in school.
The whole day was filled with discussion about it, and some classmates even came up to me to ask what happened.
I didn’t know how to answer .
Eventually, even my homeroom teacher found out about it.
She called me into her office and talked to me, telling me to focus my energy on my studies, etc.
The implication was quite clear.
I was incredibly embarrassed.
I wanted to explain but didn’t know how, so I just held it in and kept saying yes.
Since my homeroom teacher knew my mother from the hospital incident and my grades hadn’t been bad lately, she didn’t press me.
I was extremely depressed by the end of the day.
As soon as school was over, I rushed home, silently praying that my mother didn’t know about it .
********************
“Mom…Mom, why are you back so early today?
Are you done with work?
”
As soon as I entered the house, I saw my mother sitting on the living room sofa reading a book.
My heart skipped a beat; I had a feeling something terrible was about to happen .
“Son’s back.
Come sit here and chat with Mom.” Seeing me return, Mom looked up, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and beckoned me over, just as she always did .
Mom looked like she’d just taken a shower; her long, still-damp hair was gently pulled back by a jade hairpin, with a few strands dangling by her ears, giving her a slightly languid look.
She wore a black silk robe, the loose fabric completely enveloping her sexy figure, revealing only a small section of her fair legs.
Her bare feet, curled up on the sofa, looked quite adorable .
“Mom, you smell so good…” I sat down next to my mother, instinctively reaching out to hug her, but she gently pulled away.
This made my unease even stronger .
“Xiaofan, what’s going on between you and Xiaoxue from Uncle Wu’s family?
Your Uncle Wu has even come to me asking about it.” My mother sat up slightly and asked softly, staring at me .
As expected, there was no escaping it.
I sighed inwardly.
Now that the moment was upon me, I was surprisingly calm.
I sat down obediently and said dejectedly, “Actually, I don’t know what happened.
Yesterday, I was playing basketball when Wu Qingxue suddenly came to me and said a bunch of nonsensical things that I didn’t understand.
Then she got angry, slapped me, and ran away crying.
Last night, someone uploaded a video of us talking online, saying…
saying she pursued me, I rejected her, and then she ran away because I made her angry.
But I really don’t know anything about it!
I’m so frustrated!
”
My mother listened quietly to me, her gaze holding something unreadable.
She paused for a moment before slowly saying, “But your Uncle Wu said Xiaoxue received your love letter, you asked her to meet you at the basketball court, and then you refused…
Son, you’ve grown up, and you won’t even tell your mother the truth anymore?
”
Towards the end , a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes.
I panicked a little from my mother’s reaction and quickly said, “Mom, you have to believe me!
I really don’t know what’s going on!
I’ve never written her any love letters.
I told you before, we haven’t spoken for years!
Why would I write her love letters for no reason!
I…I…
”
As we talked, I sensed something was wrong.
Love letter?
Asking Wu Qingxue to go to the basketball court?
I didn’t do any of that!
But it really happened.
Now, thinking back on the whole thing, it felt like someone was manipulating things behind the scenes.
I immediately thought of Qi Feng, and I jumped up, shouting to my mother, “Mom, I know what happened!
Qi Feng is definitely plotting against me!
That kid was humiliated by me at school last time, so he’s trying to scheme against me.
That love letter must have been forged by Qi Feng!
Because I never wrote anything like that!
”
After analyzing the situation, I suddenly realized the whole thing was actually quite simple, and I felt much better.
I vowed to myself that once this was over, I would teach Qi Feng a lesson and make sure he got lost so he could never bother me or my mother again !
I stood there lost in thought for a moment before realizing that my mother’s expression hadn’t changed at all after hearing my words.
She remained sitting there quietly, as if my reaction had been expected.
My heart sank, and I quickly asked, “Mom…
is…
is something wrong?”
Mom sighed and said, “Qi Feng has been sick lately and went back to his home to recuperate.
Your Uncle Qi lives in the suburbs; how could he possibly have a chance to scheme against you?
”
“But I really didn’t write any love letters to Wu Qingxue, Mom, why won’t you believe me!
”
I shouted, feeling like I was about to explode.
I had never suffered such humiliation before.
It seemed even my mother didn’t quite believe me anymore.
At that moment, I truly hated Qi Feng to the core !
“Son…” Mom stood up from the sofa and gently hugged me, saying softly, “How could Mom not believe you?
You said you didn’t write it, so you definitely didn’t.
Mom is so beautiful, how could you write love letters to someone else?
Am I not as good as that Wu Qingxue?
”
As Mom spoke, a hint of pride even crept into her voice .
“Mom…Mom, you’re so good to me, I love you to death!
”
Hearing my mother’s gentle words, I almost burst into tears.
I couldn’t help but hug her tightly, greedily inhaling her sweet scent and the faint fragrance of her shower gel.
My angry and irritable mood gradually calmed down .
“Either someone is plotting against you, or Xiaoxue is lying,” Mom continued, hugging me.
“But what Mom wants to say is that sometimes right and wrong aren’t that important, and sometimes whether you did something or not isn’t important.
Son, you’re a man; you need to be responsible, understand?
”
“Mom, I…I don’t understand, what do you mean?” I looked at my mother blankly, not knowing what she was saying .
My mother let go of me, gently stroking my face, and said lovingly, “Admit to it, find a chance to apologize to her, and invite her over for dinner.
”
“Why, Mom?
I didn’t do anything, why do I have to apologize to her!
” I exclaimed, puzzled.
“So how do you plan to resolve this?
”
“Go confront her?
Point at those love letters and say they weren’t written by you, but by someone else?
Say someone’s trying to frame you?
How do you know Xiaoxue isn’t lying, and that the so-called love letters don’t even exist?
Where will the Wu family’s reputation be then?”
“But…but why should I care about their family’s reputation!
Our family isn’t afraid of them!” My face flushed red.
Although my mother’s words made some sense, I was still unconvinced .
“You…sigh…” Mom sighed again, pulled me to sit on the sofa, and said earnestly, “Don’t you understand?
You are my only heir.
Your Uncle Wu’s family also only has Xiaoxue as their only daughter.
It’s very likely that she will inherit Uncle Wu’s business in the future.
Your Uncle Wu and I have known each other for so many years and have always cooperated.
The relationship between our two families has become very close.
Especially after this cooperation, our two companies will be deeply intertwined.
Only by cooperating well can our two families grow stronger.
So, not only will your Uncle Wu and I have a close cooperative relationship, but you and Xiaoxue will also have a close cooperative relationship in the future.”
At this point, Mom stared at me intently and asked, word by word, “Are you sure you want to estrange yourself over such a small matter at this time?
”
“Then why must I be the one to blame, instead of her taking a step back?
”
Although I had already been persuaded by my mother, I still couldn’t help but ask, because my mother has always had a tough style in business, the kind who would rather see both sides suffer than back down .
“You,” Mom affectionately pinched my nose, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wisdom, and said softly, “because Xiaoxue is a woman.
Women are like that.
No matter how much you do for her, she might not remember it, but if you owe her even the smallest thing, she’ll remember it for a lifetime.
So, you’re a man, you should learn to be more generous.
Sometimes, suffering a loss isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
”
“And another thing,” Mom continued, “is that you’ve noticed Xiaoxue likes you?
Why did she go on the date?
Or, to put it another way, why did she lie and say she received your love letter?
It means she at least has feelings for you.
Now, with just an apology, you’ve won the heart of a beautiful young woman.
Isn’t that a huge win?
”
Thinking back on yesterday’s events, I realized that Wu Qingxue might actually like me; otherwise, he wouldn’t have said those things.
It was clear he meant he was going to accept my advances.
Thinking about this, I felt a little lost.
I took my mother’s hand and said, “But I already have you, Mom!
How can I accept her too?
”
“Silly son,” Mom said, grasping my hand in her small one.
“I’m just a passerby in your life.
How could I stop you from finding your true love?
If you can really win Xiaoxue over, I’ll be proud of you!
”
As my mother spoke, she looked at me with loving eyes, but I saw a hint of sadness in them .
“Mom!” I hugged my mother tightly and shouted, “I don’t want to find any lover, Mom, you are the woman I love most!
I will always be with you!
”
“My silly son,” Mom gently patted my back and said softly, “Mommy loves you too.
Be a good boy, okay?
Just do as I say!
”
“Okay…” I hesitated for a moment before reluctantly saying .
My mother got up from my arms, tapped my forehead with her delicate finger, and said in a sweet voice, “You little rascal, sometimes all you think about is bullying your mother.
Now that I’m asking you to go after pretty girls, you’re making all sorts of excuses.
I really don’t know what you’re thinking.
”
“That’s because I only love you, Mom!
I’m not interested in any other girls!” Looking at my mother’s charming demeanor, I couldn’t help but start using smooth talk, hoping to make her happy .
“Hmph, all you do is flatter Mom.
I don’t believe you’re not interested in Wu Qingxue.
I’ve heard she’s the school beauty queen, not only is she pretty, but her family is rich too.
I can’t think of any flaws she could possibly have. Read this novel at novelping.com for the best experience.
”
Mom’s not buying it anymore .
She gave a soft snort, her tone tinged with bitterness.
Thinking of Wu Qingxue standing under the light last night, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotion.
Wu Qingxue’s temperament was completely different from my mother’s; she possessed a pure yet aloof elegance, coupled with her delicate features.
I felt that few men could resist her charm.
However, I sensed a hint of jealousy in my mother’s tone, and I couldn’t say that to her directly.
I could only say, “She is beautiful, but she’s still young.
How can she compare to a great beauty like you, Mom?
Besides, she always has such a cold demeanor, as if I owe her money.
Sometimes she walks past me without even saying hello!
”
“You little rascal, you’re so good at talking, hehe,” Mom chuckled, pointing at me.
“But you’re mistaken.
That’s not being cold, that’s being reserved.
The more she likes you, the less she can show it, lest you look down on her.
Understand, son?
How could a little kid like you possibly understand a woman’s mind?
”
“Oh…so that’s how it is?!” I was stunned by my mother’s words.
It turns out I was completely oblivious to her feelings !
“Look,” Mom said, pointing to a note on the coffee table with a strange expression, “that’s Xiaoxue’s contact information.
Your Uncle Qi gave it to you.
I think he might be trying to match you two up.
Son, behave yourself, and maybe one day you can even bring your two families together.
”
“What?
Mom, that’s ridiculous!
How could that be!
”
Having just recovered from the shock, I was stunned again.
I couldn’t understand how my affair with Wu Qingxue had involved our two families’ businesses .
“Nothing’s impossible.
Just do as your mother says.
Okay, I’m not going to waste any more time on this.
I’m going to rest for a bit.
I finally have a free day, and now I have to instruct you on how to woo girls.
I’m so destined to be a workaholic!
”
Mom squeezed her little feet into her slippers, sighed, and stood up to go upstairs .
The loose nightgown couldn’t conceal Mom’s exaggerated curves; as she moved, her two plump buttocks swayed gently behind her, causing the nightgown to ripple like water .
Watching my mother’s swaying figure, my mouth watered.
She’d been so busy lately; I hadn’t had a chance to be affectionate with her for days.
Now that I had the opportunity, I couldn’t resist.
I quickly said ingratiatingly, “Mom, you’ve worked so hard.
Let me cook you something nice, and I’ll wash your feet later!
”
Washing feet has become a symbol of affection between my mother and me …
“You brat, no need.
Aunt Liu has already cooked.
Mom has already eaten, and the rest is warming up in the kitchen.
Washing your feet isn’t impossible, but Mom hasn’t been feeling well lately and can’t handle any stimulation…” Mom continued walking upstairs, her words carrying a hint of seduction, as if she were trying to seduce me .
Hearing my mother’s words felt like being doused with a bucket of cold water; my heart sank.
Although my mother had become more lenient with our intimate contact as her affection for me grew, she never allowed me to touch her before or after her period, not even kissing.
I was always puzzled by this, but after some research, I learned that women’s libido is particularly strong before and after menstruation.
Perhaps my mother was afraid she wouldn’t be able to control herself during intimacy .
“Well…
Mom, you should get some rest.
I won’t bother you any longer.
” I had no choice but to say this reluctantly.
” Hmph, you little lecher!” Mom chuckled lightly, then slowly walked upstairs into her bedroom.
I sat on the living room sofa in a daze for a while, then reached for a sticky note on the coffee table.
It had a phone number on it.
I hesitated, too embarrassed to call directly, but instead took out my phone, opened WeChat, and added the number.
Sure enough, I found her WeChat account.
Her WeChat name was her real name, Wu Qingxue, and her profile picture was actually Kikyo’s from “Inuyasha.” But thinking about it, it suited her quite well—both were pretty, cool, and adorable big-eyed girls .
I sent a friend request with my name in the message, but after waiting a while and seeing no response, I went to eat.
When I checked my phone again after finishing my meal, there was still no reply.
I figured she was probably still angry with me, so I patiently typed a text message and sent it, briefly explaining what happened yesterday, saying I had indeed forgotten our date and upset her, apologizing and asking for her forgiveness, etc.
I thought my attitude was humble enough, but after waiting for ages, there was still no reply.
Now I was at a loss; if she ignored me, there was nothing I could do .
This annoyed me a bit, so I simply ignored her and went back to my room to do my homework .
********************
At this moment, in a high-end residential complex not far from my home, Wu Qingxue was lying on a soft, large bed reading a book.
The room was spacious and luxurious, with light pink wallpaper, a white carpet with cartoon patterns, and pink striped sheets, giving the room a girlish feel .
Wu Qingxue, wearing a light yellow pajamas with cartoon patterns, lay face down on the bed, her arms propping her upper body up slightly, her two tiny, delicate feet dangling in the air behind her—a truly adorable sight .
She was a little distracted, glancing at her phone every now and then.
When it remained unresponsive, she couldn’t help but yell in a spoiled tone, “You jerk Yang Fan!
One text and you’re all set?
You even wanted to add me on WeChat!
You didn’t even know how to sweet-talk me!
What did you say you forgot?
I bet you didn’t take it to heart at all.
All you do is play basketball, basketball!
You’re driving me crazy!
I’ll never forgive you!
”
Seemingly reminded of yesterday’s events, Wu Qingxue’s anger flared up again.
She threw her newly purchased phone to the ground, luckily the carpet was thick enough to prevent it from breaking .
She sulked in bed for a while, then got up to pick up her phone.
Seeing no messages, she felt a little disappointed and lay back down, lost in thought …
