Chapter 983: Bai Qi, Why Are You Crying
Bai Qi followed Zhou Sileng’s gaze and saw a little boy not too far ahead. The little boy’s mommy was squatting beside him, peeling a roasted sweet potato for him. The mommy peeled the skin and gave the golden and steaming sweet potato to the little boy. The little boy happily took a bite.
Tears welled up in Bai Qi’s eyes instantly. Her little Sileng also longed for mommy’s love.
In this world, no one could replace a mommy’s love, but she had been absent for four years.
Bai Qi walked forward. She squatted down and handed the milk tea to Zhou Sileng. “Sileng, do you… miss mommy?”
Zhou Sileng took the milk tea and took a sip. He lowered his eyes and looked at the red string bell on his wrist. “Mmm!” He nodded hard. “Other people’s mommy is nice…”
Before he could finish his sentence, he was already tightly embraced by Bai Qi.
Zhou Sileng was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly rejoiced. Did Bai Qi hug him? This was their first hug.
He happily rubbed against her chest. “Bai Qi, you smell so good. It’s so warm…”
Bai Qi raised her eyes to suppress the hot tears in her eyes, but she couldn’t. The boiling hot tears still quietly slid down. She tightly hugged the little guy in her arms and kissed his black hair. “Sileng, I’m sorry…”
“Bai Qi, why are you sorry?”
“I…” Bai Qi’s red lips trembled. She didn’t know how to say it. Now was not the time to say it. Her face…
“Bai Qi, what’s wrong?” Zhou Sileng broke free from her embrace. When he saw the tears on her face, Zhou Sileng panicked. He quickly put the food in his hands on the ground and used his two small hands to help her wipe her tears. “Bai Qi, why are you crying?”
“… Dust got into my eyes…”
“Then I’ll huff, huff, huff, and the dust will come out.” Zhou Sileng stood on his tiptoes and softly blew into Bai Qi’s eyes.
Bai Qi felt pain and sweetness. The pain was that the time that should have been happy between her and Little Sileng had passed just like that. Little Sileng was already four years old, and she had not been able to participate in his growth.
The way he babbled, the way he stumbled and learned to walk for the first time, the first time he called his grandmother and his daddy, the first time he went to kindergarten…
She should have been involved in all of this, but when she was wandering around. Before she knew anything, he had already grown up.
However, she felt very sweet also. She had regained her memory, and she knew who she was. Little Sileng was her son. In the future, she would never be separated from him again. That was enough.
As his mommy, she would stay by his side for a long time. He would no longer be envious of other children. He could proudly tell other children that he had a mommy too.
Bai Qi sniffed her red nose. She wiped the tears off her face and smiled. “Sileng, I’m fine. I’m fine now.”
“Really?” Zhou Sileng was still very worried. She was his woman. How could he let his woman suffer even a little injury?
“Really, let’s go.” Bai Qi held Zhou Sileng’s small hand. “What else do you want to eat? Let’s buy a roasted sweet potato too, okay?”
“Okay!” Zhou Sileng replied cheerfully.
The two walked around for twenty minutes and then returned to the school gate. Mother Zhou was waiting in the car. Bai Qi handed Zhou Sileng to Mother Zhou. “Auntie, Sileng, I’ll go back first.”
“Bai Qi, come to my house. I can’t bear to see you leave.” Zhou Sileng was reluctant to part with her.
Bai Qi shook her head and looked at Zhou Sileng gently, “Sileng, I can’t go to your house today. You can call me if you miss me at night. I’ll pick you up from school tomorrow afternoon. The day after tomorrow is Saturday. I’ll then accompany you for two days, okay?”
Zhou Sileng’s eyes lit up. He wished he could dance on the spot. “That’s great, Bai Qi. You said it yourself. Let’s pinky swear. You’re not allowed to go back on your word!”
“Okay, pinky swear!” Bai Qi pinky-swear with Zhou Sileng. Then she looked at Mother Zhou. “Auntie, I’m leaving first.”
Mother Zhou liked Bai Qi very much. “Ms. Bai, where are you going? I’ll get the driver to give you a ride.”
“That’s okay, Auntie. Sileng, bye-bye.” Bai Qi waved her hand.
…
Bai Qi returned to her house. She wanted to investigate what had happened four years ago, but she realized that everything that had happened on that island had been erased. There were no traces left behind.
Of course. Everything that had happened on that island had involved multiple parties, so all traces must have been erased. If she wanted to investigate now, it would be as difficult as climbing to the heavens. Unless…
She thought of that man, Zhou Yao.
He was a witness to everything that had happened. With his current position, he had access to all confidential documents.
Should she tell him?
Bai Qi hesitated. She glanced at a mirror on the dressing table. Even she was unfamiliar with her face…
At this moment, her phone rang. She had a call.
Bai Qi quickly took out her phone and answered the call. “Hello…”
“Hello, Bai Qi, it’s me. This is my grandmother’s phone. If you want to contact me in the future, call this number.” Zhou Sileng’s soft voice came from the other end.
Bai Qi had already guessed that it was him. Her facial features became all gentle. “Okay, I’ll write down this number later. Sileng, have you showered?”
“Yes, I’ve showered. I’ve already gone to bed and is hiding under the blanket.”
“Then go to bed quickly. You have to wake up early tomorrow.”
“Bai Qi, I don’t want to sleep yet. I’m waiting for my dad. I don’t know if my dad will be back tonight. He hasn’t been home for many days.”
Bai Qi’s heart ached, and she consoled, “Your daddy might be busy with work. Go to bed first, don’t wait for him…”
“Alright, since you all said so, I can only accept it.” Zhou Sileng sighed. “He forgets about me when he’s busy with work, but he doesn’t forget to pick up girls. I feel that I’m already competing with so many hot women at such a young age, but what can I do? My father and I are the only ones at home. If I don’t care about him, who else would care about him?”
Bai Qi furrowed her brows. Everything that man had done recently went through her mind. She felt that she needed to talk to him once. She didn’t care about what he did outside, but when it came to her son, he should act like a father.
He hasn’t been acting like a father at all.
“Sileng, you go to sleep first. I reckon that your dad will be back by the weekend.”
“Okay, Bai Qi. Good night.”
…
The next morning, Bai Qi went to Bai’s Martial Arts Dojo. Bai Bo wasn’t there, so Bai Qi asked the Hall Master, “Hall Master, Where’s senior brother?”
“Oh, Bai Bo went to the branch to inspect.”
Bai Qi nodded. “Hall Master, do you have a photo of senior brother when he was young?”
“A photo of him when he was young? Bai Qi, why do you need that?”
