"Okay, Mom, don't you think I'm good." Lin Wanyu gently patted the back of his mother's hand and talked to her about his life over and over again.

In order to make her mother less worried, she deliberately hid a lot of descriptions about Gu Chi and about that series of strange things, like many children who went home, reporting good news but not bad news.

For some reason, Lin Wanyu always felt that her mother's mood had gradually turned from surprise at the beginning to dull from the time she entered the house to the present.

"I was relieved to hear that you were doing well in Liaocheng." Mother let out a long breath and got up and walked to the kitchen, "I, hurry up and cook for you, and go back when you finish eating." Didn't you say that you still have a part-time job in the library, so don't affect your work and make a bad impression on others. ”

Lin Wanyu grabbed the corner of his mother's clothes.

"Mom, I've already taken a leave of absence from the library, just so that I can come back and be with you." The hair behind the ears hung down, covering half of Lin Wanyu's face, "Why don't you let me accompany you more?" ”

"How come," Mother hurriedly turned around and pulled Lin Wanyu into her arms, "It's been so long since you left, didn't Mom come alone, but I didn't feel comfortable when someone suddenly came......"

"But I'm your daughter."

Lin Wanyu's nose was sour.

Could it be that the relationship between her and her mother has reached such a point after a few years? Her mother even told her to leave quickly on the grounds that she didn't feel comfortable sharing a room with her?

"By the way, Mom, have you looked for him since Dad left?"

Unexpectedly, this question made her mother have a great reaction, and there was even anger on her face that Lin Wanyu had never seen before.

"Dad?! You're still calling him Dad? Is he worthy of a father? If you insist on calling him Daddy, then you won't have me anymore! ”

Mother's sharp voice was like a cat's claw stabbing at Lin Wanyu's heart.

"I'm sorry, Mom, I'm sorry. Don't be angry, I just ask casually, don't be angry. Lin Wanyu hurriedly took his mother's hand and coquettishly, "I'll never say it again, forgive me, Mom, please~"

Lin Wanyu's delicate and cute appearance is no different from when he was a child.

Mother was amused by her demeanor, her frowning brows also relaxed, and she stretched out a finger and scraped the tip of Lin Wanyu's nose: "Little fool, how could my mother be angry with you, it was not good for me just now, and my emotions were a little out of control." But you remember, from the day that man left, he was dead, dead in the hearts of both you and me, understand? ”

"yes, I know."

Lin Wanyu nodded obediently, when he was a child, he often mentioned to his mother where his father went, and he had never been so angry once, what happened today?

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that. What does Kobayashi want to eat at noon today? You order, I'll cook. ”

Speaking of lunch, Lin Wanyu's eyes lit up.

I am away all the year round, and what I miss most is a mouthful of hot rice at home, not to mention anything else, just because my mother's specialty dish is really a must, and anyone who eats it has to scream.

"Squirrel Guiyu! And then there's the honey three knives! Then, I want to nibble on sheep's feet! ”

"My little girl," the mother touched her head happily, "you still want to eat a lot, I'll go to the kitchen first, I'm home alone, and I don't have any ingredients." ”

Lin Wanyu followed his mother into the kitchen, there was still half a bowl of porridge left over from the morning on the board, there were no vegetables in the vegetable basket, a carrot was wilting and hanging beside it, and the rice was loosely weighed, packed in a plastic bag, and carefully pierced and placed in the storage basket.

"Mom, how many times have I told you, don't eat leftovers, it's not good for your health, it's really not good, I'll buy you a puppy, you should raise it to relieve your boredom, and you can help deal with leftovers, how about it?"

Thinking that he lived in an apartment in Liaocheng, ate takeout and always had leftovers, and his mother was left alone in Feng County, Lin Wanyu's heart was uncomfortable.

"Oh, it's okay, save food, don't give me any cats and dogs, I think I'll live well alone." The mother bent over and picked up in the refrigerator for a while, and turned around with a little embarrassment, "There is no fish at home, you wait, I will go to the vegetable market now to buy a live fish and come back, and there is also braised sheep's trotters, the sheep's trotters at the entrance of Qianmen East Street are very good, I have been talking about waiting for you to come back and buy them for you to eat." ”

Lin Wanyu obediently followed behind her mother and watched her go into the bedroom to change clothes.

"By the way, Mom, on the highway where I went home, there was a woman who froze to death, as if her name was ......" Lin Wanyu tried to recall for a while, "Oh yes! It's Gao Qiulin, do you know it? It's pathetic......"

"Gao Qiulin?!" But the mother's face changed again, and the movement of putting on the boots stopped.

She ran to Lin Wanyu with a shoe, and looked at Lin Wanyu with a serious expression: "Don't ask about this matter!" Life and death are fate, don't know too much about other people's affairs! Got it? ”

Looking at his angry mother, he timidly asked, "Mom, do you know her?" ”

"I don't know!" The mother's eyes looked away, "But it is always bad to inquire about the deceased, and the older generation will say that if you inquire about the deceased, you will be diverted to yourself." ”

Lin Wanyu nodded silently, keenly catching his mother's strangeness.

The mother, who had never spoken loudly to herself in the past, had already lost her temper with herself twice in half a day, and this strangeness made Lin Wanyu feel a little uneasy subconsciously.

"Alright," the mother apologized to her in a slightly remorseful tone, "Xiaolin, it's cold outside, you just sit at home and wait for me to go out to buy fish and sheep's hooves and come back." ”

Seeing his mother go out, Lin Wanyu sat on the old fabric sofa in the living room in a daze.

A concept flashed through her mind—parallel time and space.

I don't seem to have entered a parallel time and space at some point, where my mother is no longer a gentle and kind mother, but a mother who always likes to lose her temper; Life has also changed completely, from the previous calm to the current undercurrent surging.

With that in mind, she got up and walked around the room, trying to find some evidence that she had indeed traveled to an alternate plane.

She crept into her mother's room, as if she were still at home.

The furnishings in the room have hardly changed much, and even the pot of meat next to the bed is still the same as it was a few years ago.

Just as she was about to go out in a circle, a "buzzing" vibration sound sounded in her ears!

A layer of goosebumps suddenly appeared on Lin Wanyu's arm, and the source of the sound was from the large closet standing against the wall, which was the place she hadn't checked just now.
