411 Spoiled, Naive, Attention-Seeker (2/2)
Dylan scratched the tip of his nose. ”Ma, even if I need help I won't come to you.”
”Why not?”
”Because you're only gonna tease me rather than helping me.”
Zhao Wei pursed her lips as she couldn't argue with that. That was her original plan. She had always found pleasure in teasing him.
”Besides, you know nothing about dating. It was dad who courted you and he is the only guy you ever dated. Technically, you're dating life is even more miserable than mine.”
Zhao Wei glared at him and Dylan slapped his mouth trying to shut up. He really was courting death now! Why was he inciting his own mother?! But it was his tongue's fault. He really was not the one to blame.
”It's not called miserable dating life, it's called a fortunate one since I found my life partner at the very first try. Unlike you, who is still confused about how to go after a girl. What a disappointment!”
”Ma, there is a vast contrast between your generation and mine. You can't expect me to have the same experiences as you but that also means you can't just assume that I didn't learn any better than you. Perhaps, my life experience has taught me more than yours.” Zhao Wei glanced at him carefully. ”Now, I'm not saying that you're not wise and experienced. It's just that you can't always help me.”
Zhao Wei's brows quirked up as she craned her neck and looked around his room. Then she looked into the bathroom, his closet, under his bed, then opened the window to look outside and kept frowning all this time. Dylan was also perplexed to see her acting like this.
”Ma, what are you doing now?”
”Oh?” She looked back at him and came close to stare into his eyes saying, ”I'm trying to look for my naive son. Have you seen him? He is a spoiled brat who likes to cling to me whenever he feels lost. He is adorable most of the time, but I hate it when he whines like a baby to get my attention. I'm missing him so much. I'm gonna go look for him now.”
Dylan gaped at her in disbelief and seeing how she was about to leave, he leaped over and hugged her waist saying, ”Ma, your clingy boy is right here. Who else are you looking for?”
Zhao Wei smiled to herself, ”Huh? You? You can't be my son.”
”Whyyyy?”
”Because you're talking like such a wise person. I really can't believe you're my son. No way!”
”Maaaaa!”
Zhao Wei chuckled while wincing at the way he whined again right beside her ear. She ruffled his hair and shook her head at him, ”I thought you don't need mom now since you can do everything on your own.”
Dylan kissed her cheek saying, ”No matter what age I am at, I'll still be you clingy, whining, attention seeker! I won't have it any other way!”
”Eew! You haven't even brushed yet, get away from me.”
She tried to push him away but he refused to budge. Just last night, he had so many things bothering him, and now here he was feeling completely content with just hugging his mother. That's why he was the attention seeker. He could mostly talk big but he'd always be his mother's big baby!
Hugging his mother could bring him peace at any time. No matter how badly he was hurt, just her presence had been enough to make him feel better. It was the charm of a mother and son's relationship.
