Spontaneous Combustion

Chapter 43 Gift and Torture

In the small off-campus apartment that Ruan Wei rented without authorization, except for Shen Tingmo who came to tutor on time every week, there were almost no other visitors.

He opened the door in bewilderment, and a woman was waiting by the door frame. She turned her head and looked over when she heard Ruan Wei's surprised "Mom, why are you here!"

Qi Yun is no longer what she looked like when she was in Xiannan. She has been treated coldly by her beloved husband for many years, and she is exhausted and miserable from the inside out. Delicate and luxurious, the slender figure still looks shaky.

In order to visit her son, she seems to have been well-dressed, with beautiful eyebrows, a high and narrow nose bridge, and blood-colored lips painted with heavy-colored lipstick, like a dry rose. From the superior bone appearance, it can be seen that she was graceful when she was young. .

"You haven't been home for three weeks, why don't you let mom miss you?"

Qi Yun was carrying large and small bags of snacks and daily necessities. Every mother was the same, fearing that her child would suffer outside, so she always found a way to subsidize it.

"Didn't I tell Uncle Lu that there are activities in the club this week?" Ruan Wei scratched his ears guiltyly, feeling a little guilty in his heart. As Qi Yun said, he had indeed not been home to accompany his mother for three weeks.

And the root cause of Ruan Wei's reluctance to think about Sichuan is sitting in the bedroom at the moment. The current scene is a bit embarrassing and bizarre no matter how you look at it.

Qi Yun piled up the bags in her hand on the coffee table, and began to organize them by category: "You don't come home all the time, so I can only come to see you, so I won't let you stay."

When Ruan Wei was still thinking about how to introduce Teacher Shen to his mother, Shen Tingmo just came out of the bedroom and greeted Qi Yun in a seemingly normal way: "Hello, Auntie."

Qi Yun was surprised for a moment, and Ruan Wei quickly explained: "Mom, this is my tutor, Shen Tingmo, a senior in our school, and he is teaching me math."

Hearing this, Qi Yun stopped what she was doing, her fingertips trembled, and her pupils shrank suddenly.

In the special case of orphan adoption in Xiannan, only the little Wei Zai was kept in the dark about the specific identity and name of the adoptee. Both Qi Yun and Li Xing had filled out the adoption application materials with their own hands. The name Shen Tingmo had long been recognized. Carve it into your head.

Qi Yun's first reaction was: this senior happened to have the same name as the "little mute", and when she turned her face to look at him, her astonishment deepened.

Adults and children have different memory methods, just like everyone can't remember the appearance of their elementary school classmates when they grow up, but they can remember the appearance of their colleagues or predecessors for a long time.

Children can only look at the skin, but adults know how to recognize bones and expressions.

Ten-year-old Ruan Wei only remembers the feeling that his brother Tingting gave him. As for his appearance, he can only generalize it as "my brother is very good-looking". Therefore, after eight years of reunion, he failed to recognize the grown-up Shen Tingmo.

The same is true for Shen Tingmo, there are so many white and tender children in the world, Ruan Wei has completely changed when he grows up, if not for seeing his pillow, no one would be able to make Ruan Wei who is now thin and tall, Corresponds to the round fat milk dumpling at the beginning.

Qi Yun is not the case. He still clearly remembers the bones and outline of the little mute. Today's Shen Tingmo can vaguely see the shadow of that year from some details. If the name is just a coincidence, then how can the shape of eyebrows and bones be so similar?And why can the age match exactly?

"You... hello, classmate Xiao Shen," Qi Yun greeted the other party pretending to be calm, unwilling to expose her abnormality in front of Ruan Wei.

Shen Tingmo had a tacit understanding with her, without saying anything, he took the initiative to help tidy up the sundries on the table, and put them into the sideboard and refrigerator according to their types.

Qi Yun's appearance has changed little over the years, and she has no doubt that Shen Tingmo has recognized her, but the other party has not shown that she knows her, the disguise is just right, and Ruan Wei also seems to be unaware of Shen Tingmo's real identity , which caused a lot of mysteries in Qi Yun's heart.

There seemed to be an undercurrent surging in the small living room, only the dull Ruan Wei couldn't notice anything, opened a box of cookies, chatted with his mother while eating: "Mom, did Uncle Lu send you here?"

Qi Yun fondly wiped off the debris from the corner of his mouth: "Well, I can't stay too long, I just came to give you something, Uncle Lu is still waiting downstairs, I want to take a look at you and leave, next week I'll go home honestly, do you understand?"

Ruan Wei's cheeks puffed up, like a little squirrel hoarding food, chewing on cookies to be good-looking: "Okay! There will be no classes until noon next Friday, and I will go home immediately to honor you!"

Qi Yun rubbed the top of her son's hair, and soon found that his red and swollen forehead and the scratched back of his hand were full of love and affection: "How did this happen? Did you fight with someone again?"

Ruan Wei didn't care much: "I taught a lesson to a few classmates who have a nasty mouth. I accidentally got it. It's just a fur injury. If you are a few hours late, it will be completely healed."

Although Qi Yun felt sorry for her son, she always adhered to the principle that boys should be kept in the wild, and didn't take this kind of ordinary fighting seriously. The cubs in the lions and wolves were also biting and chasing with their companions. Learn the laws of survival, which are necessary for a boy to grow into a man.

Ruan Wei has a fiery temper like a firecracker, and since he was a child, he has had more fights than he has eaten salt, and Qi Yun is not worried about how much he will suffer.

She nodded and said, "As long as you can handle it yourself, even if they made a mistake first, try to avoid doing it if you can be reasonable in the future."

"Got it, Mom," Ruan Wei said lazily in a drawn-out tone, "Treasure the time, and see if your precious son grows taller and more handsome."

"You are poor, and you can't do anything right all day long," Qi Yun scolded with a smile, and stuffed the last pack of high-calcium milk powder into the sideboard, and said: "You have to eat fruit and milk every day, and you are the one who consumes the most now. Time, nutrition must keep up."

"Okay, okay, I insist on drinking milk every day, and I want to grow to 1.8 meters sooner." Ruan Wei squeezed her mother's shoulders and lowered her head obediently: "You too, don't just talk about me, I have to eat more and lose weight again.”

"Okay, I'm leaving. If I stay a little longer, I'll think you're annoying again." Qi Yun smiled and pushed her son away: "You little debt collector, you're too noisy when I'm around, and it's strange if you can't see me." Thought."

"Hey, then I'll go back to trouble you next week, be careful on the way," Ruan Wei put her arms around her mother's shoulders and sent her to the door.

Before going out, Qi Yun turned to look at Shen Tingmo, with a different kind of deep meaning in her eyes, and said slowly, "Student Shen, goodbye."

Shen Tingmo coughed lightly, and said to Ruan Wei: "It just so happens that today's class is over, you can finish the homework independently later, and I will send it to my aunt by the way."

Ruan Wei didn't think too much, and nodded gratefully: "Then I'll leave it to Mr. Shen."

Qi Yun pursed her lips and said "Okay", with an undetectable tremor in her voice, she looked at Shen Tingmo unintentionally, turned and went out.

Ruan Wei watched the two leave, yawned, and went back to the room to catch up on sleep, planning to finish the math homework left by Shen Tingmo after waking up.

The two people outside the door had a tacit understanding and walked away quietly until they walked out of the residential area where Ruan Wei rented. Qi Yun briefly identified the vehicles parked on the side of the road, and soon found Mulsanne, who was driven by the family driver.

Qi Yun walked towards the luxury car that was incompatible with the surrounding environment, and Shen Tingmo followed behind her silently, his eyes fell on his toes, and there was a sense of contradiction between hope and escape coexisting in his heart.

"Want to chat?" Qi Yun opened the car door, turned around and smiled decently at Shen Tingmo.

As if knowing that this invitation would bring him a huge unknown vortex, and at the same time unravel the doubts that have plagued him for many years, Shen Tingmo paused for a long time before slowly taking a small step forward: "Okay."

In Juancheng at the end of November, the air is soaked in the coolness brought by the sea breeze. On a cloudy day when the sun is hidden, the roads and streetscapes are fading like a silent film.

Shen Tingmo got into the luxury car and was taken by Qi Yun to a 5A grade office building in the city center under the name of Qi.

Saturday was a day off, and there were only a few employees working overtime in the lobby and corridors. When the elevator reached the top floor of the building, Qi Yun pushed open the door of the office and said to Shen Tingmo, "Please come in."

The exquisite carved porcelain cup filled with hot black tea was pushed in front of Shen Tingmo. Qi Yun seemed to see through his embarrassment and anxiety, and deliberately slowed down her voice with a gentle expression: "Tingting, long time no see."

Shen Tingmo's eyelashes trembled slightly, he raised his face in a low voice, and called her hoarsely: "Mr. Qi..."

The address from a long time ago is just that the little mute back then couldn't speak, but now Shen Tingmo can finally communicate with his benefactor in a normal state.

"Don't call me that, it's strange, just call me Auntie," Qi Yun smiled lightly, and quickly said something that shocked Shen Tingmo:

"Do you know why I haven't contacted you these years?"

Shen Tingmo seemed to have turned back into the little mute of Xiannan, with his lips opening and closing, he could only make weird breathing sounds.

why?

Why did you bring me back, and it never appeared in my life again.

Why did you take my Weizi away and not even give me a chance to see him again?

Why did you give me a good life and let me go back to school, but didn't give me a way to repay my gratitude.

Why did I see the real light and heat, but took my little sun back, and made me lost in the long darkness, day after night, having hopeless nightmares.

There were many questions Shen Tingmo wanted to ask, but he couldn't ask any of them.

Qi Yun seemed to be able to see through his confusion and bewilderment, tapped his teacup lightly with her fingertips, and said sincerely and sincerely:

"Ting Ting, we brought you back from Da Nang because we want you to get out of the shadow of the disaster and losing your parents at a young age, and give you a brand new and different life."

"Well," Shen Tingmo stared at the orange-red tea that kept shaking in the cup, quietly waiting for the answer to be revealed.

"Your life belongs to you. We are just passers-by in your life. There is no need to tie each other together for some reason, and you don't need to carry the so-called kindness forward. These things should not be done by you. Take it, you have suffered enough, my child."

Qi Yun gently placed her palm on the back of Shen Tingmo's hand, conveying her warmth and sincere love:

"I treat every child equally. What I hope is that you can walk the road to the future alone, get rid of those old diseases, and fly to higher places with a relaxed and unencumbered attitude."

"Tingting, it seems that you have already done it, and you have done it very well."

Shen Tingmo's heart was beating heavily and slowly, his blood seemed to be stagnant, and his whole body fell into a cold feeling like lack of oxygen.

At this moment, he finally understood Qi Yun's mentality of not reciprocating kindness. With her status and status, saving a child and giving him a new life only needs a little kindness.

As the manager of a public welfare fund, she has saved thousands of children over the years, and of course it is impossible to establish a relationship with every child.

Great love is boundless and selfless, and Qi Yun's actions are beyond reproach.

But Qi Yun overlooked one point, she was not alone in the trip to Xiannan, her most special rescue, the little Wei Zai was also a participant.

She didn't need Shen Tingmo's repayment, so she took away the child that Shen Tingmo needed very much, without leaving him a thought.

This great gift that does not ask for anything in return is accompanied by years of indelible torture to Shen Tingmo.
