The phone that suddenly vibrated while concentrating on browsing the information made Li Simu tremble instinctively.

Looking at the name beating on the screen of her mobile phone, she was surprised that it was Ms. Lin Lan.

Li Simu remained still for more than ten seconds almost visibly with the naked eye, and his mobile phone was still vibrating, which seemed a little weird in the silence of the room. It was almost in such a short time that she completed the movement of organizing her emotions and taking a deep breath, and then swiped her fingertips to the right before picking up the call.

This was the first call Ms. Lin Lan had made to her in months. Li Simu couldn't remember the last time he heard Ms. Lin Lan's voice.

"Hey, hello. ”

"It's me. At home?"

"Hmm. ”

"What are you doing?"

"I was just looking at my phone. ”

"Make the most of your summer vacation and don't waste it. ”

"Okay, I made a daily schedule, and I basically followed the plan. You don't have to worry. ”

"Well, it's good to have a plan. People are most afraid of doing nothing all day long, only reading information that has nothing to do with them. Trust in your abilities, organize your life, and don't let me down. ”

......

After hanging up the phone, Li Simu was still in a trance. What made her feel strange was that Ms. Lin Lan called this time not for something important, but seemed to ask her very casually about her recent life status and other trivial things, you know, this is unusual between Li Simu and Lin Lan.

Usually, what Ms. Lin Lan needs to call in person is nothing more than asking Li Simu to attend the cocktail party that someone's family is going to hold recently, or to attend some more important social occasions in City A instead of Lin Lan, who is far away.

As Lin Lan's daughter.

Yes, Lin Lan, as Li Simu's mother, sometimes asks Li Simu to attend on her behalf when needed.

After Li Simu hung up the phone, he temporarily put aside the matter of Bai Moti's information at hand, without any stop, and stood up and neatly turned off all the lights in the room. At this time, it was already twilight, and the summer sunset in City A was relatively early, and the room was still relatively dim when the lights were not turned on.

Then, Li Simu turned on the flashlight mode of his mobile phone and began to carefully shine through every corner of the living room, until the flashlight shone on the right above the wall clock, and the small red dot that would flash every few seconds in the dark fell into Li Simu's eyes.

Li Simu's heart was unexpectedly calm, even surprisingly calm.

Ever since she moved to a house close to her university, she occasionally had the feeling of being watched for no apparent reason.

Li Simu has always trusted her instincts, and she knows that her sixth sense is very accurate, whether it is when she encounters a question that she will not know in the exam, or when she is making some important choices.

This time, reality once again proved that her feelings were accurate.

Now the crux of the problem is why someone installed a hidden camera in the living room where she lives, and why Ms. Lin Lan happened to make a painless phone call when she was flipping through Bai Moti's information.

You must know that between Li Simu and Lin Lan, the relationship between mother and daughter is so weak that it can almost be described by the principle of "abiding by etiquette and not exceeding the rules".

When she was a child, Li Simu won the gold medal in the dance competition with the first place in the children's group, and when she ran to Lin Lan with an excited face, all she saw was the silhouette of a woman busy talking on the phone.

After going to school, when the competition is fierce and everyone attaches great importance to the grades, Li Simu, who took the first place in the grade, pretended to be unconcerned at school, in fact, when there were few people in the classroom between classes, he carefully packed the report card into a separate file bag, for fear that the corners would be broken, and when he returned home, he looked like a little adult, and said in a businesslike tone: "Mother, this is the report card of this final exam, please take a look." ”

Even though Xiao Li Simu hid the excitement in her tone and tried her best to put on a non-waveless appearance, the corners of her mouth that couldn't help but rise still betrayed her, but in exchange for only a nod from Lin Lan—she was stingy with even a word of praise, and she didn't want to keep it to herself?

In the past 20 years, Li Simu has longed for Lin Lan's love countless times, longed for his mother's gaze, and longed for recognition and attention from the closest people in blood. Even if she doesn't care at all. Before his father's death, he lived abroad all the year round because of work, and only Li Simu and Lin Lan lived together. However, that state is not much different from the state when Li Simu's father died and Lin Lan took over the overseas business, leaving Li Simu to live alone.

However, Li Simu still can't understand why she and Lin Lan have changed the relationship between mother and daughter into the relationship that is almost similar to that between superiors and subordinates, and she doesn't understand why Lin Lan's role has been absent in the childhood stage when other children need companionship the most.

What she didn't understand even more was why whenever she took a step forward, Lin Lan took a step back, and when she took a step back, Lin Lan seemed to stay where she was at all careless, just staring at her coldly, as if she was using indifference to make her realize how naïve her behavior was in Lin Lan's eyes.

But Li Simu still doesn't feel that he is wrong, let alone admits that he is wrong - why is a child who longs for his mother's love wrong?

In the dark, Li Simu sat on the carpet casually, bent his knees, wrapped his hands, and shrunk into a ball, obviously one meter seven tall, as if he was very tall, but at the moment it seemed to be only a small one.

Her eyes drifted into deep thought. At this moment, the last blood-like sunset also bid farewell to the day and kissed the face of the night.
