It's like I'm not reborn

Chapter 73 Growth
The siblings went to the bathroom to wash up together.

Shi Hai had already prepared his younger sister's toothbrush and cup yesterday.

Shi Meng naturally used it happily, but he was even happier helping his brother pour water and squeeze toothpaste.

This is something that my brother 'personally' asked me to do!

Compared with taking the initiative to take care of my brother, doing what my brother asked me to do, the satisfaction I get is three times that of usual.

Afterwards, the siblings faced the mirror and brushed their teeth together.

Shi Hai looked at his sister's face through the mirror, with a smile on his face, as if the loss of soul just now was fake.

The emotional shift is really too big...

And Shi Hai encountered a similar situation not long ago, that is, Zhu Lingjie suddenly cried in front of him.

The same is true for very sudden 'emotional breakdowns'.

And that kind of thing happened because Zhu Lingjie had a serious cleanliness disorder. She couldn't contact anyone, but she wanted to associate with others, so she was afraid of being ignored by others.

In this regard, my sister is similar to Zhu Lingjie.

The reborn younger sister once lost her family for the second time. I am afraid that this experience made her mentally unstable.

Shi Hai thought that perhaps he could try to let them get acquainted with each other to 'communicate their illness'?
But if the cause of Zhu Lingjie's illness is cleanliness and fear of men...

Shi Hai couldn't understand how the younger sister's "dependence mentality" of "wanting to take care of her brother" came from.

Even if his future self becomes a vegetable, Shi Hai doesn't think it's the reason why his sister wants to take care of him.

Because taking care of patients is a very troublesome and time-consuming thing in itself, and it will also consume a lot of energy for caregivers.

Often while taking care of patients, caregivers are also in a state of distress.

So no one is willing to take care of people who can't move, only if they have no other choice.

Otherwise, there would not be so many families having conflicts over caring for the elderly.

So why does my sister like to take care of him so much?

As if doing something very happy, very active.

When this care is hindered, it also makes her mood worse.

And it's so serious that he will even equate "brother doesn't need to take care of" with "I don't need to be needed".

This is very unusual...

Shi Hai feels that the problem may lie in how his future self gets along with Shi Meng.

Judging from the way the younger sister greeted her, the relationship between brother and sister must be close.

Even some brothers and sisters may not necessarily have such a good relationship.

That's why Shi Meng attaches so much importance to his brother, and even regards taking care of him as the meaning of his existence.

Then the real problem is not with the younger sister, but with his brother.

Shi Hai thinks that the real thing to understand should be 'what happened to my sister in the future'.

Thinking of this, Shi Hai sighed a little, if he had the memory of the future, many things would be answered.

Unfortunately, it seems that he himself has not been reborn.

After washing up, the siblings returned to the living room, just as Liu Zhenshan also got up and walked out of the bedroom.

"Mom, good morning."

Shi Meng first smiled and said good morning, Liu Zhenshan yawned and replied lazily.

"Ha...good morning~ kids~"

Shi Hai looked at his mother curiously and said.

"Mom, you got up really early today."

When it comes to weekends, Liu Zhenshan will definitely sleep in, sometimes even sleep until noon, and will not get up until her son calls her to eat.

And now it's only past eight o'clock in the morning, which is already a very early time to wake up for Liu Zhenshan on the weekend.

"Did I go to bed early last night... oh, I had a good sleep after a long time~ um~"

Liu Zhenshan stretched his waist, and his chest surged.

Shi Meng looked at her mother's, and then looked down at her own... It's not in the same order at all, crying.

Liu Zhenshan naturally caught her daughter's little thoughts, walked over and gave her a hug to comfort and encourage her.

"Drink more milk, let the tall buildings rise from the ground!"

"Yeah! I'll try to be like my mother!"

Shi Meng's face is buried in that beautiful softness, dreaming that in the future, he can also have the same peak as Liu Zhenshan, which can be reminiscent of motherhood at a glance.

It's all over again, this time it can't grow in the wrong place again!
Shi Hai also calmly made milk for his sister again.

After handing the soaked hot milk to his sister, Shi Hai asked Liu Zhenshan.

"Mom, do you have any discomfort recently?"

Shi Hai was thinking about whether his mother had an accident due to his illness.

"Huh? No..."

Liu Zhenshan nodded his chin and recalled.

"During the physical examination in the spring, your mother and I had no problems with all the indicators, very healthy!"

"That's good."

In fact, Shi Hai didn't think that his mother had an accident because of illness, he just asked just in case.

Because after her husband passed away, Liu Zhenshan's emphasis on health has been greatly improved.

This is true for Shi Hai, and it is also true for herself.

She also does exercise as often as Shi Hai, so she maintains such a good figure and appearance, and her mental state has always been very good.

The main reason was that Liu Zhenshan felt that it was fine if he didn't leave any property to Shi Hai, at least he couldn't get sick and cause trouble for his son.

You must not drag your children down. This is probably the common thinking of most parents.

"It's rare that you care about me~"

Liu Zhenshan stretched out his arms to take his son into his arms.

But because Shi Hai was much taller than her, his hand just reached his other shoulder.

There was no way to completely wrap my elbows around his neck like before.

This made Liu Zhenshan feel a little dazed.

She realized that she hadn't hugged her son like this for a long time...

Although there is a lot of physical contact in normal times, they are all joking.

For example, kick your son's ass, or pat him on the shoulder, check his abs and so on.

And these actions brought Liu Zhenshan only feelings of "gratification" and "regret".

The gratification is that the son grows very strong, but the pity is...

The little, soft son before has become hard all over, not cute at all!
It's really not cute...

Because he is no longer a 'boy'...

Before he knew it, he had grown so tall...

Maybe it's because she has been living together all the time, so she is not so sensitive to the change of her son's height.

It seems that he was about the same height as me not long ago, that is, he suddenly grew taller during high school... maybe three or four years ago?

Totally unreal.

The growth of a child may be a matter of a moment... Liu Zhenshan suddenly felt the same about this sentence.

And she found that she had to look up in front of her son to see his face.

And when they hold hands like this, it doesn't look like a mother is hugging her son, but rather like she is snuggling in his arms...

Liu Zhenshan, who was usually carefree, became shy at this time.

In order to cover up her shyness, she quickly withdrew her hand, elbowed Shi Hai's stomach hard, and pretended to cough.

"Cough...! Why are you so tall!"

"..."

Shi Hai was so speechless that he didn't want to speak anymore.

Back then, who was feeding me milk every day?

Isn't it you, mom!

　Happy New Year's Eve!
