urban life

Chapter 549 "Encounter"

Kang Yi was about to go back to the community, he glanced casually, and suddenly frowned.

I saw a woman standing in a corner, dressed in gorgeous clothes and shiny jewelry, staring at him intently at this moment.

The eyes of the two met.

The woman's eyes seemed to be defeated by Kang Yi all of a sudden, her eyes flickered, full of worry, anxiety, heartache, love, and even a trace of fear.

The woman sensed Kang Yi's gaze, and she had a smile on her face, accompanied by a hint of flattery.

Kang Yi held the plastic bag, stood where he was, took a deep breath, then walked towards the woman, walked in front of her, and said, "Mom."

That's right, the person who came was Kang Yi's biological mother, Zuo Shixue.

After all, it is the flesh and blood that fell from Zuo Shixue's body, and she has a deep maternal love for her child. Even though her child is a little heartless and rarely goes home, but she hasn't seen her for a long time, Zuo Shixue still misses her child.

Therefore, if I have nothing to do, I come to the outside of the community and hide in a corner to see him quietly, without waving to him, without continuing to disturb life, just to see if my child is living well, is he full?Are you freezing?Are you in a good mood?
After four years of thinking, Zuo Shixue has completely realized her mistake.

That is not listening to the voice of the child.

Therefore, she has a sense of guilt towards Kang Yi, and that guilt burns herself all the time.

"Hey, hey." Zuo Shixue, who has always been smart and capable, looked like a thief who was discovered, with an embarrassed look on his face and an attentive smile, "What a coincidence, I came here to meet a client, and I didn't expect to meet you. .Are you off work? Mom still has something to do, so go ahead and take care of yourself."

In the past, Kang Yi pretended not to see Zuo Shixue outside the community, but today was the "first time" the two had "coincidentally" met in the community.

Looking at his mother's embarrassing face, he thought for a while, and said softly: "Mom, if that client is not important, can you have a meal with me?"

"what?"

Hearing this, Zuo Shixue opened her mouth slightly, extremely surprised, and then quickly reacted, nodding her head quickly: "Of course! Mom can't wish for it, I was originally"

Having said that, she paused for a while, covered her mouth, almost wanted to say what was in her heart, patted her chest, and beckoned to the personal assistant in the distance. And said in a hasty tone:

"Lili, call the client and say that the dinner tonight is cancelled, and I want to have dinner with Xiaoyi."

The personal assistant Lili was stunned for a moment, a little confused by the boss's words, she had no customers tonight, she had a quick reflex, bowed and said, "Okay, Mr. Zuo."

He also bent down to Kang Yi: "Mr. Kang, I'm leaving first. I have to be busy replying to customers, so I won't disturb you two."

Upon receiving a response, Lili, the personal assistant, stepped on high heels and rushed away with big strides, as if there was a devil chasing her behind her.

Kang Yi smiled: "Mom, let's go."

Immediately, the two mother and son went into the community.

Lili, the personal assistant, hid in a corner, looking at the backs of the two with joy on her face. As Zuo Shixue's personal assistant, she naturally knew about the relationship between the two mothers and their children.

For four years, he would visit Kang Yi outside the community three or four times a week, rain or shine.

"Hey!" Personal assistant Lili sighed and shook her head, "The one who is favored has nothing to fear, if only Mr. Zuo was my mother."

The two got on the elevator and opened the door to get home.

"Mom, sit down for a while, I'll cook first." After returning home, Kang Yi said to his mother.

"Let me do it." Zuo Shixue lifted her sleeves, wanting to cook by herself.

"No, you take a break, and dinner will be served in a while. I will try my son's cooking later."

Kang Yi rejected Zuo Shixue's proposal, and the latter did not force her. She heard a firm tone from that voice, and she did not dare to interfere with the child's affairs.

The child was cooking in the kitchen, and Zuo Shixue was not idle, wandering around the room, looking left and right, looking up and down, among which three rooms were empty.

Zuo Shixue walked into the child's room, and the whole room was filled with eyes. There was a bed, a wardrobe, and a desk. Laptops, documents, and toy models were placed on the desk. Most of the things were placed on the desk.

The desk bears the weight it shouldn't have.

If it was at home, she would definitely nag Kang Yi: If you hit someone like this, you can't clean your room well, what will you do when you grow up.

But at this moment, Zuo Shixue suddenly discovered that in the chaotic environment, it gave her an inexplicable sense of order, as if it was not as simple as imagined.

She sat on the edge of the bed and was stunned for a moment, staring at the thing in front of her, but her mind was already recalling the past.

"Ah, Mom, I'm sorry, I haven't had time to tidy it up yet." Kang Yi walked in, looked at the room like a pig's nest, and immediately apologized, "Go and sit outside for a while, it's been cleaned up outside."

"It's fine, it's fine here." Zuo Shixue shook her head, "Go and cook, I'll clean your room."

"I can do it myself. Then you come, take care of yourself."

Kang Yi then walked away and continued cooking, while Zuo Shixue tied up her hair and cleaned the room.

After she cleaned the room, Kang Yi also prepared dinner.

Tonight's meal is quite simple, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded pork with fish flavor, and a meatball soup.

The two mother and son sat opposite each other, and Kang Yi said, "Mom, I didn't expect to meet you, and I didn't have time to prepare meals. Don't mind."

The more Kang Yi apologized, the more unhappy Zuo Shixue felt.

Because of an excessive apology, it means that the relationship between the two is too distant.

What kid would apologize to their parents for a good meal or a bad meal?
The more polite and respectful the two are, the more distant they are.

Zuo Shixue suppressed the pain in her heart with great perseverance, but the calm face she faced was [-]% similar to hers, it was the child born in her belly, and she still couldn't control herself, her eyes were flushed , the voice was a little choked: "Xiaoyi."

"Mom, why are you crying? Is my food not cooked well? Wait a moment, I'll go outside and buy you something delicious."

Seeing that Kang Yi had the idea of ​​leaving, Zuo Shixue finally controlled her emotions, picked up shredded fish-flavored pork, stuffed it into her mouth, and said with a smile: "No, you did a good job. Mom has never eaten such a good meal in this life." scrambled eggs with tomatoes." Kang Yi sat down, and instead of serving a bowl, he held "the best scrambled eggs with tomatoes in my life" for her mother.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

He picked up the food, while Zuo Shixue ate the food, no one spoke, and there was no unnecessary movement.

After the "scrambled eggs with tomatoes" was finished, Kang Yi took a deep breath and said slowly, "Mom, do you want me to be an obedient child who listens to you and control me, or don't listen to you in everything and sing against you?" The bear child? Which one do you want me to be? I will try my best to become the child in your mind in the future."

"." Zuo Shixue was silent for this, looked up at Kang Yi, and said seriously and solemnly: "Mom, I hope you live your life and not live according to my ideas."

Paused, organized the language, and whispered: "Mom, I'm sorry, I haven't considered your feelings and thoughts since I was a child, it's too selfish, you are my child at any time, but you are also an independent individual with your own thinking. I'm always trying to manipulate your life."

Speaking of this, she took a deep breath: "If there is a time machine in the world, I will do my best to buy it, let the time go back to the moment you were just born, let you experience the fun of childhood, don't let you study abroad, and don't let me buy it. let you leave me."

"Hehe." Hearing this, Kang Yi smiled softly, "Mom, don't try your best, you still have to leave some property for our family. My childhood is not important, just like..."

"Important!" Before he finished speaking, Zuo Shixue interrupted directly, and said seriously, "I'm sorry for your childhood."

Kang Yi thought for a while, and said softly: "Mom, it's really not important. My childhood has passed, and the things that have passed away cannot be recalled. Don't stop thinking about the past moment, you should come out bravely.

In the past four years, I have thought a lot and thought a lot. I suddenly found that I am a bit hypocritical. Everyone envies my family, has rich wealth, loves my parents, grandparents, grandparents are still alive, and myself But I don't think so, I always hope to have more things, freedom, unrestrained, debauchery.
On the one hand, I enjoy the superior environment you brought me, but on the other hand, I blame you for your excessive preference. This is not the behavior of a son. I was born in this family, so there must be corresponding burdens."

There is a round moon hanging in the dark and deep night sky, sprinkling silver-white radiance to the world, and that radiance crawled in along the window, just in time to see a strange picture.

The child frantically apologized to his mother, but the mother kept saying her fault.

"Fuck!" Personal assistant Lili leaned against the wall of the community and looked at her watch. It was almost [-] o'clock in the evening, and she was a beautiful woman standing outside. If she hadn't given the security guard a box of cigarettes, the police would have arrested her. He went in, "Why haven't you come out yet? Mr. Zuo and Mr. Kang are really serious, how long are you two going to chat and tell me something, so I don't have to wait outside."

The tragedy of beating workers is nothing more than this.

While complaining, she shut her mouth tightly when she saw Kang Yi walking out slowly with Zuo Shixue supported, and Lili rushed to meet her.

Kang Yi gently helped his mother into the car, and waved his hand: "Mom, take care of yourself."

"Xiaoyi, when are you going home?" Zuo Shixue looked at the child lovingly and asked.

"Soon." Kang Yi replied, "I'll finish the work at hand and go home after completing the tasks that should be accounted for. It will only take two or three weeks at most."

"How about resigning directly?"

Kang Yi shook his head: "Mom, this is the first and last job in my life. I hope to have a beginning and an end, and give myself an account of my part-time job."

Zuo Shixue didn't say anything, he waved to his personal assistant Lili, and the car disappeared into the darkness.

Kang Yi looked at the direction of disappearance, stood there, slowly looked away, put his hands in his pockets, and walked into the community.

He talked a lot with his mother tonight, and he talked about the helplessness in his heart over the years, his life like a puppet, that kind of feeling.

This is the first time he has spoken out to Zuo Shixue openly, without concealment, and without making up random things, some of which are all true feelings.

Zuo Shixue is no longer so stubborn, admits her mistakes, and is willing to pay for them, hoping that Kang Yi will forgive her.

In fact, Kang Yi never resented his mother, so how could he talk about forgiveness.

As a child, he had no resentment at all.

The two chatted from evening to late at night, and several cases of beer were dried at home, and finally the entangled wool was untied.

After being untied, Kang Yi had no reason to continue staying in the community.

He promised his mother to quit his job as soon as possible and go home to work.

After wandering outside for four years, he didn't do anything at home, he didn't know anything about the family business, and he had no idea what his parents were busy with all day long. It was time for Kang Yi to go home and help his parents share the work.

Outside the Kang family villa.

Zuo Shixue got out of the car with a smile on her face: "Thank you, Lili."

"Mr. Zuo, please don't say that, I'm your personal assistant." Lili was stunned for a moment, Zuo Shixue usually had a stern look in the company, but now she actually thanked her.

Did you drink too much fake wine tonight?
"I'm sorry to trouble you tonight, you have a day off tomorrow."

"Thank you, Mr. Zuo."

Zuo Shixue nodded, and immediately walked into the villa.

At this moment, it was already one o'clock in the morning, but the whole villa was brightly lit, and the gorgeous chandelier illuminated the room brightly.In the living room of the villa, there were a lot of people, including Kang Ning, his parents, and the servants. They were all looking at Zuo Shixue, with expectations, worries, worries, and various complex emotions in their eyes.

Zuo Shixue said softly: "Xiaoyi will go home after resigning."

In an instant, Zuo Shixue seemed to hear the sound of a big stone falling. Both parents looked at each other with unstoppable smiles on their faces.

Kang Yi is the only crystallization of the two families, the darling, who is usually held in his mouth for fear of melting, and holding it in his palm for fear of losing it, and the darling rarely returns home within four years, which is a great blow to both parents.

All day long, he looked eager to see through.

The servants at home helped the old people on both sides go upstairs to sleep, while Kang Ning sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and swayed gently, and Zuo Shixue sat beside him.The former rubbed the latter's temple lovingly, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work."

Zuo Shixue lay down, put her head on her husband's lap, and shook her head: "It's not hard work, everything is worth it, I'm sorry Xiaoyi."

"No." Kang Ning replied, "Xiao Yi never resented you from the beginning to the end, nor did he complain for a while. He has always respected you in his heart."

"Because of this, I feel sorry for him. The more well-behaved he is, the more guilty I feel towards him. I didn't do what a mother should do, but Xiaoyi did everything a child should do, and even more , I am not qualified to teach him a lesson."

Kang Ning was silent, rubbing his wife's temple quietly: "It's over, it's over, don't think about it anymore."
