Chapter 18 Breaking the Ice in Mother-Child Relationship
The fried rice stall in Nanzhi is booming!

After the theft incident, the crowd gradually dispersed, and some people became curious.

How delicious is the egg fried rice that can make people secretly eat three servings?

They followed Nanzhi back to the fried rice stall in a remote corner, and were shocked by the price of 20 yuan at first glance.

Then, before I could even complain, I was attracted by the intense aroma that burst out when the hot oil and eggs collided.

Looking at the egg fried rice that was rolling like a golden river with each grain distinct, many people swallowed their saliva quietly.

…It’s only 20 yuan, why not try it?

As a result, Nanzhi had just completed its accumulated orders and continued to receive new orders.

The not-so-big fried rice stall was packed with customers.

Nan Yi's hands were numb from collecting money.

Especially for the guests who came here, many of them watched the "Super Brain Filming Site" just now and were keen to test Nanyi's mathematics level.

They often ask questions like "How much is 1 plus 100?", "How much should we charge for 6 servings of fried rice?", "There are 35 chickens and rabbits in the same cage, and there are 49 legs on the bottom. How many chickens and rabbits are there?"...

Nan Yi answered without thinking, his expression changing from impatience at first to numbness later.

It's exactly like the kid version of "being forced to perform when visiting relatives during the Spring Festival"!
The barrage also exclaimed:
[This is amazing! He is definitely a genius! ]

[Nan Yi is only just starting kindergarten, right? Is children's education so advanced these days? ]

[He is born with the ability to think mathematically, it would be a shame if he doesn't become a scientist in the future! ]

[Could it be a scripted performance...]

[If a four-and-a-half-year-old can memorize such a long script, I think it's pretty amazing! ]

[Starting with SSR, Nanzhi must be trained well! Suddenly I am worried about Nanyi's future...]

……

Nanzhi doesn't know yet that she will soon be blamed for being the "unreliable mother of a genius child prodigy."

She immersed herself in the egg fried rice.

Although she repeated the movements dozens of times, she did not find it boring at all. Instead, she was constantly reviewing her twelve years in the alien world, allowing her body to gradually adapt from being unfamiliar.

Her high level of concentration made her ignore the passage of time, and before she knew it, all the materials she had prepared were used up.

I sold 30 servings of fried rice yesterday. Today I prepared twice as much fried rice as yesterday, but I finished work earlier than yesterday.

Nanzhi was also surprised by this.

While packing up the dining cart, Nanzhi regretfully informed the diners of the news.

The waiting customers were very disappointed, but a cook cannot cook without rice. No matter how disappointed the customers were, they had no choice but to turn around and leave. Before leaving, they did not forget to repeatedly confirm whether Nanzhi would continue to set up the stall tomorrow.

After the last guest left, Nanzhi's dining cart was packed up with quick and skillful movements.

The stall next door is run by a female owner who sells grilled sausages.

Many customers like to buy a grilled sausage with fried rice, which has caused the grilled sausage business to go from being quiet to a little hot.

There was no conflict, so the female boss naturally had a good impression of Nanzhi.

When she was about to leave, he whispered a reminder:

"Be careful of the couple who set up stalls like you, they are not easy to deal with."

Nanzhi was stunned at first, then quickly thanked him without asking any further questions.

Then on the way back, I kept thinking about this and didn't even notice that I had almost arrived home.

After packing up the tools for setting up the stall, Nanzhi felt an even heavier sense of fatigue rising up over him.

She quickly turned off the camera and planned to go to bed early after washing up.

As soon as the camera turned off, Nanzhi turned around and saw Nanyi standing in the corner looking at her.

"Is there a problem?"

Nan Yi shook his head.

That tender and fragile little face revealed an extremely complex emotion.

While being vigilant and cautious, he also hides a desire and light that he himself has not discovered.

——It was like a little beast that had been hurt many times, but still showed its soft belly to the mother beast. Nan Yi: "You don't want to say anything?"

Nanzhi tilted her head slightly, with her hair piled on her shoulders, giving her a poetic tenderness.

She thought about it and praised sincerely:
"We did a great job today, Yi Yi. You were so smart! Mom is proud of you!"

Nan Yi let out a soft humming sound from his nose.

Rather than disdain, it's more like coquetry.

The dim light couldn't clearly illuminate the red corners of his eyes, but Nanzhi had a keen intuition.

She softened her voice even more:
"what's wrong?"

Nan Yi summoned up the courage:

"Why didn't you scold me? You always scolded me before."

A straightforward statement and sincere doubts.

Nanzhi felt a lump in her throat when she heard this.

She squatted down and looked at Nan Yi at eye level:

"Remember what I said? I'm not the same mom I once was. That wasn't a lie."

Nan Yi stared at Nan Zhi blankly.

I actually started to believe this fairy tale-like sentence...

Late at night, the mother and son fell asleep in this shabby and simple hut.

They faced each other, their bodies moving closer.

I also sleep better.
-
Not everyone can sleep well at night.

For many people, falling asleep comes easily.

But for Lu Shixu, sleep is a luxury.

Whenever he closed his eyes, a pair of malicious eyes would appear along with a raging fire, cursing him to live a lonely life and die a miserable death...

He opened his eyes.

The courtyard house located in the prosperous area of ​​northern Yanjing woke up.

In the long, silent night, the brilliant lights illuminate the entire courtyard, making it as transparent as colored glass, like the legendary heavenly palace of gods.

Gorgeous and stunning, but not popular at all.

Even Lu Shixu, who lived deep in the Heavenly Palace, was nothing more than a lifeless sculpture.

I don't know why, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered the live broadcast he watched in the evening.

Although he did not understand why he opened the irrelevant live broadcast, he became interested in a woman who was power-seeking and scheming, and could not help but pay attention to her.

The assistant has clearly investigated and found that this woman named Nanzhi has nothing to do with his past!

"... Lao Lu? What's wrong with you? Why are you calling me in the middle of the night?"

The carefree voice of my friend Tang Ji came from the receiver of the mobile phone, with intense disco music playing in the background.

Lu Shixu pinched his nose, ignored the huge sense of absurdity in his heart, and asked in a deep voice:

"Do you know a woman named Nanzhi?"

Tang Ji's voice paused.

Not obvious, a bit like a pause in the signal.

Tang Ji denied it as if nothing had happened:
"I don't know her! How come you finally met a girl that made your heart flutter..."

Snapped!
Lu Shixu hung up the phone directly!
He put his phone on the bedside table and rubbed his temples, as if to warn himself:
"That's it."

Lu Shixu suppressed those weird and irrational thoughts.

Such things should not exist in his rational and orderly world.

After turning off the lights, Lu Shixu lay back down.

He closed his eyes, allowing the heavy and sticky darkness to envelop him, and continued to stay with the abyss.
