The Phantom of High School: A Different Kind of Gifted Student

Chapter 113 Outbreak 3
The sun deflected and paced towards the center of the sky, and the angle at which the sun shone on the concrete floor slowly moved.There are a few clusters of yellow and white daisies scattered outside the house, looking up at the lush fairy mountain in the distance.

The small hotel is quiet, there is no dust on the table, the floor is clean, and the room is small but tidy and clean.Luo's mother was sitting by the wooden reception desk, her eyes drifting without focus while pressing the calculator, while the old bookkeeping book had not been opened for a long time.

Luo Ma suddenly tore open the counter drawer, and fumbled for the cracks inside and above the drawer with her backhand.When she touched something, her expression changed inadvertently.A dark yellow old photo was brought out. On the fringed photo was a slightly fat middle-aged woman in a red coat, surrounded by a tall and strong man.The two leaned against each other, smiling all over the weather-beaten faces of the couple. Although they were poor and ordinary, they lived a happy life.

The hand that was holding the photo was stiff with blue veins, as if it wanted to tear the photo to pieces.For so long, she thought that she could escape, that she could stay away from disputes forever, but there was always that invisible force that kept her silent and made her repeat the same mistakes and go on the road of no return...

Why is it so difficult to be an ordinary person in this world?Even if it is an ordinary village woman, raising children, opening a store, and being busy with family affairs every day, such a simple wish cannot be realized.

The world is so big, there is not even a place for people to stay.

Luo's mother sighed for a long time, and carefully stuffed the photo back into the drawer.As soon as he turned around, he saw Zai Zai's fat little body stretched to one side, his round head leaning against the reception counter, his bright eyes filled with the unique clarity of a child.

Luo's mother reached out and stroked Zizai's head, and asked gently: "Have you finished your homework? Or are you tired of doing your homework and hungry to find something to eat?" The cloud on her face dissipated, replaced by a woman's care for her child.

Zaizai muttered, gesticulating in the air with dissatisfied little hands: "Auntie, Zaizai has been here for a long time. I called you for a long time and you didn't answer, just kept looking at that photo. Are you thinking that uncle has forgotten Zaizai again? Zaizai If you want to eat an apple, Auntie will help Zaizai peel it, Zaizai is afraid of knives."

The child looked innocent, but Luo's mother knew that this was no ordinary child.He is as smart as a little angel, who knows everything but can still pretend to be innocent.It makes people feel sorry.

"Okay, be good, Zaizai. Auntie will help you peel the apple, but today I can only eat one." Luo Ma smiled and took the knife, keeping the blade as far away as possible from Zaizai, and slowly and carefully peeled off the peel.

Zaizai remained motionless, staring intently at this middle-aged woman, she was wearing a red coat and apron, she was fat and kind.

……

"Come on, hold it carefully so you don't lose it." Luo's mother squatted down and gently hugged Bao Zizai.Where he couldn't see, those weather-beaten eyes almost shed transparent and bitter tears.

It's been two years, Zizai has also grown a lot taller, and in a few years he will be a real man, able to live independently, and she doesn't have to worry about being afraid.

"Auntie... what's wrong?" Nuo Nuo's voice asked, Zaizai held the apple in one hand, and carefully pushed Mama Luo's body with the other.

"It's nothing, I just found out that my Zaizai has grown up." Luo's mother patted his little arm and said softly, "Zaizai, stay with Sister Cangyue more, you know? Now you can go to the foot of the mountain to find them, I'm going to make lunch."

"Okay," Zaizai muttered, "Auntie, you are so weird today. Zaizai likes a beautiful sister, and if he wants to marry her in the future, naturally he should hug her more."

"That's good. Auntie is fine. You can go quickly."

"Okay~ I can't let the ugly brother take advantage of my sister." After taking a bite of the apple, the little fat man walked towards the gate like rolling a meatball.

Luo Ma got up and watched the small voice gradually disappear into the light step by step.Beside the table, the edge of the fruit knife cut through the apple juice, dripping on the wooden table and seeping into the wood cracks, silently.

　There are no absolute bad guys and no absolute good guys.
