Chapter 3185 Crucian Carp Tofu Soup

The boy nodded.

A well-behaved look on his face.

He tried to purse his lips.

So that I wouldn't laugh so obviously.

……

After returning to his seat and sitting down, the boy with his head down broke into a big smile.

On the way home from school, he walked very fast at first.

His steps were so light as if he was about to fly.

He was very excited.

He couldn't help but smile at the thought of going home.

but
As he walked into his own neighborhood, his steps gradually revealed a bit of hesitation.

The closer he got to his home, the slower he walked.

He...began to get a little scared.

Is morning mom real?
No, now that he returns home... he will find...

Mom in the morning was just his fantasy?
……

No, no, no...

The boy shook his head violently in denial.

How could his mother in the morning be an illusion?
He remembered it clearly.

I recalled it countless times in the classroom.

Mom...is back.

……

The boy swallowed.

He walked into the apartment building.

……

Every footstep seemed to be stepping on his heart.

He became increasingly nervous.

……

He hesitated for a while.

This situation is so similar to yesterday.

Even the sequel is exactly the same.

The boy heard footsteps coming up and he didn't want to run into his neighbors.

He quickly inserted the key into the keyhole.

He had the key in his hand from the beginning.

……

"Bang~"

After entering the house, he turned and closed the door.

……

But today, he quickly noticed how deserted the house was.

Not as slow as yesterday.

The boy was a little stunned.

today……

He also got home first.

……

The boy pressed his chest hard.

His heart was beating fast.

He is a little cold.

It's a little hot again.

……

today……

Can he wait until his mother?
There was no way he would cry himself to sleep like he did yesterday.

Even now, he found his eyes a little warm.

My nose also feels a little sore.

……

The boy rubbed his nose hard.

He closed his eyes again and took a deep breath.

Will not……

Mom told him to be careful on the road this morning...

Even though he didn't look back, he knew his mother was watching him.

He suddenly felt very regretful.

He should have turned back.

Turn around and wave to mom.

Say goodbye.

instead of...

"I am leaving."

……

The boy is doing his homework in the living room.

Instead of returning to his room.

He tried hard to concentrate on his homework.

Instead of getting up and looking out the window from time to time.

Look up at the time on the clock from time to time.

……

Unfortunately, the results are not very obvious.

The boy felt as if his heart was hanging in mid-air.

That feeling of being weightless... is very uncomfortable.

The boy didn't know how many deep breaths he took.

The tightness and stuffiness in my chest never improved much.

Naturally, the homework was not done smoothly.

The repeated corrections made him more and more annoyed.

……

The boy hit his head hard.

concentrate.

He told himself fiercely in his heart.

别-
Ok?
The boy's ears twitched.

what?
Is there any sound?
The boy stood up suddenly.

It seems to be... the sound of a key opening the door! ?
……

Before his brain could work, the boy had already run towards the entrance.

I happened to meet my mother's eyes when she opened the door.

The boy froze in place.

……

The woman was also a little stunned.

Apparently she hadn't expected to see the boy as soon as she entered the house.

It's just like……

The boy had been waiting for her at the entrance...

……

The woman smiled quickly.

She lifted the bag in her hand.

"I bought crucian carp and tofu today."

…The boy’s pupils dilated for a moment.

Crucian carp and tofu soup.

It is one of his favorite dishes.

……

The boy followed his mother unconsciously.

The woman put down the dishes in the kitchen.

He turned around with an amused look on his face.

"Why are you following me?"

"Have you finished your homework?"

……

The boy shook his head honestly.

Before his mother came back, he wanted to do it...

However, my mind was completely on my mother who might be back at any time, so I didn’t do much of my homework.

……

"Then go do your homework first."

The woman arched her eyebrows.

"Mom will call you when dinner is ready."

……

"Ah."

The boy nodded obediently.

"Then I'm going to do my homework first."

He turned and left the kitchen.

……

The woman who turned around to process the crucian carp did not notice that the boy did not return to the living room immediately after leaving the kitchen and out of her sight.

Instead, he stared quietly at the busy figure of the woman in the kitchen for a while before turning back to the living room.

……

The boy grinned.

He laughed silently.

Mother……

came back.

……

It took a long time for the boy to calm himself down.

Start writing your homework.

……

The boy finished his homework quickly.

In fact, today is still slow.

For several days in the past, he was able to complete all his homework at school.

After all, apart from doing homework, he didn't know what else he could do in his spare time.

No one talked to him.

He would rather do his homework than sit there.

This way he won't be embarrassed.

It won’t feel awkward anymore.

After all, the focus is on solving the problem.

……

The boy subconsciously looked towards the kitchen again.

He couldn't see anyone in the kitchen from here.

But he could already smell the delicious aroma of the crucian carp and tofu soup.

So fragrant...

The boy couldn't help but sniffle.

"Gululu~"

As it happened, the boy's stomach growled.

The boy quickly pressed his stomach.

I always find it embarrassing to have my stomach growling.

……

He is hungry.

The boy rubbed his belly.

But unlike yesterday, he knew...

Dinner will be ready soon.

The rich aroma of food filled the house with a warm atmosphere.

The boy couldn't help but smile.

……

"Xuanxuan."

Came the woman's voice.

"Come for dinner."

……

"coming."

The boy almost jumped up.

He responded loudly.

Then he walked quickly towards the restaurant.

……

"Wash your hands first."

Seeing the boy staring at the crucian carp and tofu soup with a greedy look on his face, the woman reminded the boy with a smile.

……

"Oh."

The boy washed his hands obediently.

When he came back, his mother had already served the meal for him.

There is also a bowl of crucian carp and tofu soup on the side.

……

"Eat."

Seeing the boy's dazed look, the woman was a little confused.

"not hungry?"

……

"Hungry."

The boy picked up the chopsticks as he spoke.

……

The woman smiled.

“Don’t eat too fast.”

"Be careful with fish bones."

……

"Ah."

The boy responded vaguely.

The crucian carp and tofu soup my mother made was just as delicious as I remembered.

It wasn’t that long since he last ate.

But he felt like he hadn't eaten it for a long time.

The fish soup with a hint of boiling water slid into my throat.

The warmth immediately spread to every part of my body.
