Chapter 296. Mother (1)

When Ren opened his eyes, he saw an unfamiliar ceiling. It was weird to call it unfamiliar as it was the ceiling of his room in the building that he had bought some months ago.

But due to shooting, he was away from home for quite a lot of time, so he didn't have the time to get familiar with his new room and house.

”Um... I feel dizzy.”

Ren muttered with a frown on his face. He was feeling dizzy all over his body and his head was heavy. It was probably the side effects of his flight and a lack of rest.

Suddenly, yesterday's memory came to his mind.

His long flight, meeting with CEO Xu and the parting with Xiao Rin... all those things came together as they flashed across his eyes. At that moment, he suddenly heard a sound.

'Tap!' 'Tap!'

The door to his room opened and a woman appeared. It was his mother.

”You are up?”

Ren raised his upper body hearing that and looked at his mother. There was a warm smile on her face as she looked at him.

”... Yeah.”

”You can sleep more if you want. You are on break, right?”

”I am, but I don't feel like sleeping more. I will just have breakfast and watch some movies. I don't feel like going out.”

Ren doesn't have any work for two weeks. The meeting for his mini album would be next but he has a lot of time before that, so he just wanted to rest in this period.

Both his body and mind needed rest and he has enough money now. There was no need to take it the hard way.

”That's good. You are working too hard these days, so you should take a break from time to time.”

”Yeah.”

Ren nodded to his mother and went to the bathroom to brush and wash his face. His young face reflected in the mirror and Ren stared at it for quite some time.

'I'm used to my young face now, but it still feels surreal for some reason.'

The memories of his past life resurfaced in his mind suddenly. Him dreaming about being an actor, his first role, the disappointment after losing that role, growing old, his girlfriend rejecting his marriage proposal and then... suddenly coming back to the past.

Ren blinked his eyes repeatedly while going through all these memories.

”This time, it will be... No, it's already way different!”

It's been nearly two years since he came back to the past and his entire life has changed and at the same time, his future has also changed.

Now, it was really unpredictable and Ren knew that his advantage of knowing the future was disappearing as he was making an entirely different future for himself.

Shaking his head, he left the bathroom and saw his mother cooking breakfast. She was humming along and for Ren, that sight of her mother cooking like this was both melancholic and joyful.

”Where's father?”

He asked as he sat down on the table.

”He's out for a morning walk. As he left his job, he grew some hobbies. He is even planning to join a chess club with his friends.”

”It's good that he's enjoying his retirement.”
