Chapter 113 She is Arrogant
She was so self-righteous that she broke up the relationship for Nan Yi. Was she really doing it for his own good?

Nanzhi looked at Nanyi who knew nothing:

"Yi Yi, aren't you curious about who your father is?"

Nan Yi was immersed in other emotions and was stunned when he heard such a sensitive question.

Nanzhi looked at him quietly.

Nan Yi quickly came back to his senses:

"Do not."

"actually……"

"Mom, I'm a little sleepy and want to take a shower."

Nan Yi was obviously trying to change the subject.

But Nanzhi didn't want to force him, so she got up and helped him get his pajamas.

After Nan Yi came out of the shower, the mother and son tacitly agreed not to mention the matter again.

Although the small bed in the attic on the second floor of the restaurant was cramped, it was made thick and soft by Nanzhi.

All the sheets and quilt covers have been specially dried in the sun, with the fresh scent of laundry detergent and sunshine.

Nan Yi, who had just washed herself nicely, rolled into the bed and rubbed her little face on the pure cotton sheets.

Then he found a comfortable position and nestled in Nanzhi's arms.

Nanzhi touched his head and then his face.

Nan Yi was as obedient as a kitten, squinting his eyes comfortably.

Nanzhi couldn't help but smile.

She asked softly:

"How about it, are you happier?"

Nan Yi was silent for a long time.

It was so long that Nanzhi thought he had fallen asleep.

Suddenly, Nan Yi shouted:

"Mother."

"Ok?"

"Can you...like someone else less?"

"what?"

Nanzhi thought she had heard it wrong.

Nan Yi deliberately turned his face away, not daring to look at his mother's face for a moment.

Only the little hand was tightly grasping the corner of Nanzhi's clothes.

He summoned up the courage to say:
"I, I'm not stingy, nor am I asking Mom not to like others, but...but can you please like me a little less, just a little bit, and then... and then..."

At this moment, Nanzhi stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly:
"Yiyi, you are the only one that mom loves the most. No one in this world can surpass you."

Nan Yi’s little body stiffened slightly.

In the darkness that he could not see, Nanzhi's eyes were slightly red and his heart was shocked.

Before hearing Nan Yi's sincere words, she regarded Nan Yi's jealous behavior as the common possessiveness of a child.

Just like most children don’t like their mothers to hug other children, this is being spoiled and childish. When they grow up and their attachment to their mothers fades, everything will naturally get better.

So she didn't take it too seriously.

But she was wrong.

Nan Yi's problem was much more serious than she thought.

He is worried about gain and loss.

Maybe it was because when the two of them recorded the last episode, they were just the two of them in their daily lives.

Although Fu Chaoqingxi joined later, it didn't last long.

This time it was completely different.

Nanzhi suggested that everyone cooperate and gather everyone together from morning to night.

For Nan Yi, a country with a poor and small world, too many people suddenly poured into their lives, making them overcrowded and occupying their space.

Then panic and anxiety emerged...

How arrogant she is!

She actually thought that in just over a month after returning, she could heal her child who had been hurt by the attacker in the name of "mother" for three whole years!

The damage has already been done, and it will take a long time to completely undo it. They still have a long way to go together.

"I'm sorry, Mom will pay more attention next time."

Nanzhi promised solemnly.

This time, the person who was surprised turned out to be Nan Yi.

He probably felt at this moment -

He just wanted a small candy, but his mom gave him a whole candy castle!

Sweet and fragrant, the whole person seemed to fall into a cotton candy cloud, surrounded by a sense of happiness.

"No need to apologize."

Nan Yi lowered her eyes, and her fan-like eyelashes fell obediently.

Her cheeks were slightly red and she looked extremely embarrassed.

Nanzhi chuckled:

"What are you shy about? I'm your mother, just tell me what you want! I'll do my best to satisfy you!"

"I just want my mother."
-
The next day, Nanzhi deliberately got up earlier than usual.

After quickly washing up, she entered the kitchen she was most familiar with and stood in front of the chopping board.

First add soy sauce, pepper, chicken essence, sugar and other seasonings to the pork filling.

Originally, chopped green onion and ginger should have been added, but Nanzhi considered that Nan Yi didn't like it, so she used green onion and ginger water instead.

Use chopsticks to stir until it becomes thick and greasy, then add the jelly.

She had made the pig skin jelly yesterday, boiling the pig skin in broth that had been simmered for five hours, waiting until the gelatinous substance in the pig skin dissolved into the broth, then filtering and cooling it until it solidified.

The jelly must be crushed and evenly mixed into the stuffing to ensure that the soup and meat will not separate when eating.

Take some flour, mix it with warm water until the dough is smooth, break it into small pieces, roll out the dough and wrap the stuffing.

Nanzhi works very quickly. Her slender fingers flutter up and down like butterflies, pinching out 18 precise pleats and then closing them. The buns, as small as water chestnuts, stand upright on the chopping board, with the even and beautiful pleats blooming like petals.

Nanzhi measured the amount for two people, stopped wrapping after wrapping, and put the dumplings into the pot to steam.

While waiting, she made some more soy milk.

Just as the aroma from the steamer wafted away, the sound of footsteps was heard on the stairs.

It can be heard that Nan Yi is in a good mood. His steps are brisk and rhythmic, and he doesn't fall. He runs steadily behind Nan Zhi and happily stands on tiptoe to look into the pot:
"What's for breakfast?"

“Xiaolongbao.”

Before, Nanzhi wouldn't explain too much.

After many years in another world, she has become accustomed to being cautious in her words and actions, and doing more and talking less.

Now, for Nan Yi, she has to change her approach.

So, the explanation goes on:

"When you were watching TV yesterday, were you drooling over the soup dumplings in the documentary? So I made it especially for you today... well, just for you."

Nan Yi opened his eyes wide, struck by a strong sense of happiness:

"Did you do that for me?"

Every word his mother said was lifting him up to the clouds.

Nanzhi nodded with a smile.

Nan Yi was so happy that he couldn't help but jump twice on the spot!
Perhaps in addition to her genuine love for Xiaolongbao, Nanzhi also has a unique cherishment and love for him.

But within two seconds, he hesitated:
"Then they..."

"It's just the two of us eating."

This time Nan Yi's eyes opened even wider.

Look at the whole pot, then look at the southern branch.

As if he couldn't believe it.

Nanzhi raised her eyebrows at him——

She can cook for whoever she wants!
"Come on, the dumplings are ready. Eat them while they're hot. Oh, and there's soy milk."

Nanzhi opened the lid of the pot, and hot steam mixed with the rich aroma of the dumplings kept rolling up.

The small and exquisite dumplings are lying in the pot, snow-white, crystal clear and translucent. The dough is so thin that you can see the soup flowing inside, it is hard not to be salivated.

However, Nanzhi was afraid that Nanyi would get burned, so she waited for it to cool down before placing the rose vinegar with shredded ginger in front of Nanyi:

"Eat."
