Chapter 199: Mom, I'm Back
Squeak......
In the pouring rain, the sound of brakes was particularly harsh.
"Mr. Mingya, don't you need an umbrella?" Seeing me open the door and get out of the car, Yue'er, who was sitting behind, hurriedly handed over an umbrella.
"No, I wouldn't have a reason to go in and take a shower. "The punishment I just gave to Sawaki has made my clothes all covered in blood, although I have changed into a new set of clothes when I was in the car, but the aura of slaughter, it will be difficult to calm down for a while, stand outside and hit it with rain, and take a hot shower, which will be much calmer. "You guys go and dismantle the signal jammer, and then go home, have a good rest today, the task is hard. β
"Yes. Ning Xue answered on behalf of the three sisters, and then kicked the accelerator again and left.
"Whew......" In the heavy rain, I was drenched in an instant, but it seemed that the cold rain made me sober up a lot, looking at the house in front of me, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but hang a soft smile. So without stopping, I stepped in, came to the door, and knocked softly on the door.
"Who?" said her mother's soft voice from inside the house, but it still looked a little weak to the ears.
"It's me, Kaoru. I replied outside the door.
"Kaoru-chan?" Mom opened the door, but saw this small drenched figure. Hurriedly pulled me into the room, my mother asked with a frown. "Why don't you have an umbrella on such a rainy day?" My mother knew that I was coming, because after Conan called me here, I immediately called my mother in Conan's voice to greet her, and told me that I would come to see him later, so that at least let my mother know that there was a phone call, and when my mother saw Conan again in the future, it would not be too easy to goof. Although she knew that I was coming, my mother didn't think that I would come at this time.
"It was raining heavily, so I ran over. I grinned with my little white teeth.
"You kid is really. "Mom couldn't cry or laugh. "Go take a shower, don't catch a cold, I'll get you a new towel and a change of clothes." β
"Hi~~" I didn't refuse, but took off my wet clothes, ran to the bathroom, turned on the switch, and the boiling hot water warmed my whole body. Although I had no problem standing in the cold rain for a day and a night, after being washed with hot water, the smell of slaughter gradually melted away, and the faint smile that had once been on my lips again.
"Kaoru-chan, I'll put a change of clothes on the chair outside for you. Mom's gentle voice came from outside the bathroom. "Hi~~" While speaking, I also turned off the switch of the water heater, got a towel from the door, dried the water droplets on my body, and looked at the scars on my body in the mirror in front of the bathroom, I couldn't help frowning a little. Then he sighed helplessly. Drying myself off, I went to the prep room outside the door and picked up a change of clothes, which were pajamas, exactly the same style I wore ten years ago, and still fit so well. It's just that now this dress always feels like something is missing, and after thinking about it, I smiled helplessly, drew the perfume that Belmode had given me from the necklace on my chest, dripped a drop on my hand, twisted it with my fingers, and then wiped it on the chest of my own clothes. For a moment, a faint scent of lavender stained the entire prep room. With a satisfied smile, I walked out of the bathroom and into the living room.
In the living room, my mother was already sitting waiting for me. Seeing me wearing my former pajamas, my mother's eyes unconsciously showed a little tenderness and sadness.
"Kaoru-chan, why did you suddenly remember to come and see me? And it's this rainy day. Mom asked.
"Conan said he was going to Dr. Asasa's, so I came over. It's just that I didn't expect it to rain so much. "I looked out the window at the sky, which was already dark.
"You kid is really. Mom frowned. "I'll go make you a hot cup of tea. With that, Mom was about to get up.
"Oh, wait a minute. "I looked at the time, and it was close to two o'clock in the afternoon. I looked at the table again, and saw what was cleaned up. So he asked, "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet. Mom was puzzled. "It was raining heavily today, and I wanted to sleep through. That's why I didn't order takeout.
"Why do you usually only eat takeout?"
"Eh, I occasionally go out to eat at a restaurant...... Target. "For my tone. Mom is a little strange, how this kid listens to it today. But it's more ...... than weird Feeling familiar?
"Okay, okay, you go lie down and rest, leave it to me here. β
"Huh?" Before he could finish his question, he was pushed into the room by the child in front of him. "This scene always feels so familiar. Sitting at the head of the bed, the mother thought, and soon, the little boy with black hair came to mind, wearing a cartoon dress and grinning at himself. [Okay, okay, you go to work, leave it to me here.] γ
"Little, little Kaoru ......" Mom's heart was fiercely excited. "Could it be that the kid ......" resisted the urge to rush out to find out, and the mother sat on the edge of the bed, clutching the sheets tightly with both hands, nervously saying that her palms were sweaty. But she sat there motionless. It's not that she can't move, but she doesn't dare, she is afraid that one of her actions will destroy the work of the little figure outside.
Time passed minute by minute, although only an hour passed, but for her, this hour was extremely long.
Finally, a heavenly voice rang in her ears.
"It's time to eat~"
Boom!
Hearing this voice, my mother rushed out. What caught her eye was a little boy with pale blond hair, holding a pot of delicious fish soup in his hand, walking from the kitchen to the table. And when he heard the door, he looked at himself with a look of surprise. The blinking lilac eyes seemed to speak. "It's so fast. β
However, when she saw the dishes on the table, the excitement became even stronger, as if tears would fall in the next second. The dishes on the table are very simple, four dishes and one soup, but without exception, all of them are Chinese cuisine, and all of them are dishes that I am familiar with, but have not eaten for a long time.
Slowly walking to the table, a bowl of fragrant rice has been served in front of him. Only then did she realize that her hand as she picked up the chopsticks became trembling.
Pick up a piece of fish with chopsticks and gently put it in your mouth. I didn't even chew it, just relying on the aroma of the fish, my mother judged that this taste was the familiar taste that I hadn't tasted for ten years. In an instant, my mother's tears flowed out like a spring. While crying, my mother generally picked up the familiar dishes one after another and put them into her mouth.
"Okay, okay, it's just a meal, you don't need to be so moved. I sat on the sidelines, the corners of my mouth slightly raised. "Okay, stop crying, go to rest early after eating. It's true that it's okay to get better. β
"Little, Kaoru-chan. You're finally ...... Finally ......" Mom put down the dishes and chopsticks, and the tears in her eyes had made her vision a little unclear.
"Hi hi ~ I admit it I admit ~ don't cry. Looking at my mother's appearance, I smiled helplessly and reached out to help her wipe the tears from her eyes. At the same time, his eyes were slightly filled with tears, and with a once innocent and sunny smile, he slowly said, "Mom...... I am back. β
ββββ the taste of the orchid, the taste of lavender, the taste of the home & the wings of the angel, the wings of the devil, the wings of the guardianββββ
A meal full of memories was forced to end because of my mother's excited crying, yes, the moment I heard me call out to my mother, her tears completely broke the embankment. Holding me in his arms and crying constantly, he seemed to forget the existence of lunch and gave up the passage of time.
"Okay, okay, Mom, don't cry, they're all that big. Haven't I come back? I chuckled and comforted that compared to my mother, my ability to control my emotions was still much stronger, except for the tears at the beginning, I responded to my mother who was still crying with a smile. Now is not the time for me to cry. I still have a lot to tell her.
"Kaoru-chan, where have you been in the past ten years? How have you been? Moreover, how did you become like this? What happened to you when you disappeared? Tell your mother?"
"Hi ~ Hi ~ Our questions come one by one. I smiled helplessly. Pulled my mother to stand up. "Let's go wash my face first, I'll go clean up the dishes and chopsticks. β
With a faint smile, I smiled at my mother. Then I picked up the dishes and chopsticks on the table and ran into the kitchen, yes, this is not the same as my habits ten years ago, and my mother laughed happily, and then ran to the bathroom quickly, and poured cold water on her tear-stained face.
Dozens of minutes later, my mother was already sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for the end of my work, and the progress on my side was quite fast, after all, it was only a bowl and chopsticks for two people. Soon, I was done with my work, and then collapsed on the couch and stretched out a lot.
"Whew...... Kaoru Mori Q&A time, starting now. Please ask my mother questions~" I said lazily.
"Flutter, you stinky boy. After seeing me admit my identity, my mother's entangled, ashamed heart finally let go. "Well, let's start at the beginning. I wonder where you've been for the last 10 years, and why you're the way you are. β
"Well...... That's a long story. "I looked at the ceiling. "That day, I pushed Ran out from under the tire. Then it was knocked off. Thankfully, it's still alive. Unfortunately, though, I lost my memory. β
"What...... Mom's expression became solemn.
"Well, then I was abducted, the guy who hit me with a car, and they were a criminal gang. They brought me there. β
"What!?" exclaimed my mother in surprise.
"Don't be so surprised. I waved my hand at my mother. "I'm not a living Beijing paralyzed in ...... right now Well, are you sitting here? Hear me on. As if chatting, I continued to narrate to my mother, and it wasn't the first time I had explained it to someone anyway. "After that, because I lost my memory, I was raised as a teenage killer by the people there there. β
"Kill, killer?!" the water cup in Mom's hand fell to the ground, but fortunately the carpet was laid on the ground.
"Mom...... I can't say anything about you again. I narrowed my half-moon eyes and said.
"Okay, you wait, wait for me to sort it out. "Mom seems to have been hit hard. But after a few deep breaths, she calmed down and told me in a serious way that I could continue.
"Uh...... After that, I stayed in the organization and trained. In addition to cultivating killers, they also develop medicines, and they are very strange medicines, and I am now a little man thanks to that medicine. Well...... I remember that before I got smaller, I should still be ...... tall Well, it's about a head taller than Xiaolan. As I spoke, I put my hand on my forehead and gestured. "Later, by chance, I met Xiaolan during a travel mission, which touched the long-sealed memory in my heart, and then I followed Xiaolan back to my father and saw the family photo on the table, which reminded me of those things in the past. Then I was going to escape. But he inadvertently ate the new drug developed by the organization, and unexpectedly became like this, which completely got rid of the tracking of the organization, because the original effect of the drug was fatal. β
"This ......" After listening to my words, my mother was already so shocked that she didn't know what to say, as if it was a fantasy, if it was placed before, she would not believe it anyway, but now that her eldest son appeared here with such a small body, there is nothing that cannot prove what he said.
"Then I came back. But I've always wanted to hide the truth from it, because the organization is so big that they can even be found in various countries. It's not a problem that can be solved by calling the police at all. So I kept it under wraps. β
"That is, your father and Xiaolan don't know about it?" asked my mother.
"Well, I didn't tell them who I was. If it weren't for Xiaolan's character, I was really afraid that she would go to the police, in that case, it would really put everyone in trouble, because the police would not admit and believe this kind of thing, and it was even very likely that I would be sent to the operating table for experiments. β
"But you can't just leave it alone, can you?" said my mother worriedly. "Your body, it is impossible for you to have no side effects after taking that medicine, is it dangerous?"
"Hmm......" I replied after a moment's thought. "There shouldn't be any danger, except for getting smaller and my hair discoloration, I haven't felt anything abnormal, and I've also been to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said I'm healthy. "Of course it's healthy, Conan took this medicine, and he has been a primary school student for 20 years, how can anything happen, and it seems that it will be contagious, and everyone's age has not changed. It's just godly.
"Alas...... How could such a thing happen. Mom frowned. was originally a good family of four, who would have thought that such a terrible thing could happen.
"Well, anyway, I'm safe at the moment, and there's a lot of things I'm not doing well with you right now. Seeing my mother's anxious look, I spoke indifferently. "In short, I'm not the same Kaoru Mori I used to be, but I'm living in this world as Kaoru Mingya, and I still have a lot of things to do. I don't want to involve you and my father, Xiaolan. So, Mom, although I admit my thing, on the surface, I'm still Ming Ya Kaoru. Can you help me keep it hidden?"
After being silent for a long time, the corners of my mother's mouth showed a helpless wry smile. Then he reached out and pulled me closer to his arms and hugged me gently. "I know that my little Kaoru has grown up, and I also know that after going through something like that, you won't be ordinary for the rest of your life. Mom can probably guess what you're doing, but Mom doesn't want you to do those dangerous things, can you promise Mom this?"
"Of course, I want to walk the rest of the road safely. I giggled. "Don't worry, Mom, I won't do those dangerous things again. I said it, but what I thought in my heart was, "Because there aren't many things that make me feel dangerous. γ
"Well, that's good. "Mom touched my head. Then suddenly I remembered something. Ask me. "By the way, who was Mingya Shizuru who pretended to be your mother last time?"
"Oh, you said Silent Stream. An unscrupulous smile hung on the corner of my mouth. "That's your future daughter-in-law. β
"Daughter-in-law?!"
β...... One. β
"Eh, eh, eh!?" (To be continued.) )
