Chapter 26.5 (2/2)
“Mother, do you love father?”
He He’s mother thought for a long time: “I only quant.i.tatively study. While the ‘love’ is a void that I do not know.”
“Thank you for sharing these with me.” He He said very seriously.
He He’s mother looked at her for a moment: “He He, you have never said so much to me. And also never asked so much question.”
“That is because we rarely have time to sit and chat together. You have always been busy with your work.”
“When you are young, when you want me to do something for you, you refuse to personally tell me but ask Zheng Xie to pa.s.s on the message to me.”
He He kept quiet.
“He He. He He” He He’s mother gently calling her name. He He looked up.
“I always have a question that I had wanted to ask but never found the right opportunity to ask you. During the summer of your freshman year, what happen?”
“Ah?”
“That is the summer that Zheng Xie went abroad to study.”
“Nothing…… it has been a long time ago.”
“That year, you also came back together with Zheng Xie. Also suddenly become a stranger, just like how you were last night.”
“Really? I do not remember. Mother, you have a very good memory.” He He laughed twice.
“This time you quietly came back and it is even with a boyfriend. And suddenly things are awkward between you and Zheng Xie. Are these two things related? Or it is just me being suspicious?”
He He looked down and stared at the cover of the book. She did not dare to look at her mother’s eyes. She was silence for a while and then whispered: “Mother, I do not want to talk about it. Please do not ask…..”
“Okay, I do not ask”
After a moment, He He took the initiative and said: “It has nothing to do with him.”
Both the mother and daughter returned to the quiet and understanding moments earlier. It is so quiet that only the movement from the mechanical clock can be heard from the living room.
“He He, is that anything I can do for you?” He He’s mother suddenly asked.
“I do not need anything, mother.”
“Do you like Zheng Xie, hope that Zheng Xie marry you?”
“I have always regarded him and liked him as a brother. I have never had the thought of marrying him. From young until now, I never had such thoughts.”
