Chapter 43 How far have you progressed

"Mother..." Lu Shiqing's eyes dodged, it seemed that it was not for the sake of calling people, but just unexpected.

There's nothing wrong with it, there's no need to inform him when my mother shows up at home.

"Who is that?" Meng Xianghan slightly raised his chin, contemptuous as always, as if facing an uninvited guest, like an interrogation.

"This is me..." Lu Shiqing hesitated for a moment.

Boy friend.

The answer is very unique, he wanted to say so.

Perhaps out of subconscious fear of her mother's authority, or perhaps knowing that the relationship they are talking about now is not something that can be brought out on the surface, Lu Shiqing finally failed to say it.

The hand wrapped in the palm behind struggled a little, and then slowly pulled away. Lu Shiqing grabbed it, but failed to grab it, and twisted the air on the fingertips in a sense of loss.

Chen Fang pulled his hand back and grabbed his skirt, raised his lowered head, and answered Meng Xianghan's question for Lu Shiqing: "Hello, Auntie, I am Lu Shiqing's classmate, and I played with him late tonight. some, sorry."

Meng Xianghan didn't seem to really care about Chen Fang's explanation. He looked at him, narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his lips in an unclear way, and said, "We seem to have seen it before."

The tone was gentle and calm, but somehow it made people feel cruel, forcing Chen Fang to lower his head again, and replied: "Yes, I met you in the dormitory, during the last parent-teacher meeting."

"It's too late to come back today." Meng Xianghan still had no expression on her face, she paused for a while, and when the suffocating silence filled the space from the living room to the door, she suddenly asked again: "How far have you guys progressed?"

She changed her attitude just now, and brought some sharpness, and her cold questioning was like a sharp knife shining with cold light, dripping blood without any effort.

Concealment was the worst childish trick in the face of this cold, sensible woman, who was as impatient with her son as she was with any other child, and did not hesitate to reveal.

Maybe it was the moment she entered the door, maybe earlier, she knew everything.

"Don't talk about this first?" Lu Shiqing frowned irritably, sighed in compromise, and weakly discussed with Meng Xianghan: "He doesn't live here, I'll find a place to put him first, and come back I can talk to you alone, okay?"

Lu Shiqing's words were tantamount to indirectly admitting his relationship with Chen Fang, just like Meng Xianghan thought.He even wanted to tell Meng Xianghan directly that they had done everything, and he was very serious, that he wanted to be with Chen Fang for the rest of his life.

This might sound a bit tragic, he didn't want to say it in front of Chen Fang, even though Chen Fang was one of the parties involved, it didn't seem to have anything to do with him.Lu Shiqing still didn't want to involve him in the storm that had been brewing between mother and son for years.

Meng Xianghan didn't speak, and still looked at Lu Shiqing with scrutiny. Even Chen Fang could feel the pressure in his eyes, which meant disagreement.But Lu Shiqing didn't listen to her this time, avoided her eyes, held Chen Fang's hand again, and said "go" softly.

Chen Fang followed Lu Shiqing without speaking, and was taken into a hotel not far from the community by him.

Lu Shiqing didn't leave right away, sat on the corner of the bed for a while, covered his eyes with his hands to let go, then looked up at Chen Fang standing in front of him, pulled him into his arms and hugged him.

For the first time, Chen Fang discovered that Lu Shiqing, who was so tall and burly and fearless, could even tremble slightly.

It seems to be an insoluble problem.

Chen Fang couldn't go back with Lu Shiqing, he couldn't predict what he would face when he went back for a while, let alone what they would become after that.

He reached out and patted Lu Shiqing's back lightly, but Lu Shiqing grabbed his hand and held it tightly.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay, I'll talk to my mother." Lu Shiqing's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at Chen Fang, "Just wait for me, I'm sure I can solve it."

"I'm sorry." Chen Fang didn't know why he had to apologize, as if he subconsciously thought that everything turned out like this because he did something wrong.Chen Fang quietly let Lu Shiqing hug her for a while, and said to him: "Go back, your mother is still waiting for you."

"En." Lu Shiqing responded, and it took a long time before he moved and walked out of the room.

Chen Fang stayed in the room alone, with nothing to do, just sat on the edge of the bed, touched the position where Lu Shiqing was sitting just now, and waited until the remaining warmth turned cold.

He didn't know what to think about, and he seemed to think a lot, meaningful or meaningless, maybe it didn't make sense in the end.

The sky turned pale, and the whole night passed.

Chen Fang glanced at his phone, but there was no news. He really wanted to ask Lu Shiqing what was going on there, but he was worried about disturbing him, so he just sent a message, and then fell into an endless wait without a response.

The wreckage of the firecrackers that were set off last night piled up thickly on both sides of the street. The sanitation workers downstairs went to work early, and the brooms rubbed against the ground, making a swishing sound. dropped, leaving no trace.

After the whole street was cleaned, Chen Fang picked up his cell phone, but there was still no response.He looked at the brand-new street through the window, and felt that the accumulation of firecrackers and confetti in his memory was not suitable for this place. It should have been clean, tidy and spotless.

Chen Fang sent a message to Lu Shiqing, walked out of the hotel, and stopped a taxi by the side of the road.

Lu Shiqing stood in front of the sofa, lowered her head and did not look at Meng Xianghan who was sitting opposite, and said nothing.

Throughout the night, more time was occupied by silence, and there was no real effective communication.Occasionally say a few words, completely different positions will be like a meteorite impact, a moment of anger will erupt, and then immediately fall into a new deadlock.

"I came back in the middle of the night, and I still smell like an omega in heat." Meng Xianghan glanced at Lu Shiqing with some disgust, "You are really just like your father, disgusting."

"Don't compare me with him. He is the one who cheated, and it has nothing to do with me, or omega." Lu Shiqing looked up, "The omega pheromone was accidentally touched on the road. And Chen Fang is a beta, I I really like him."

"You think I'm a fool?" Meng Xianghan sneered, "Is he a beta like that? Can an alpha resist an omega? Are you worthy of talking about sincerity?"

"You have no right to deny me and Chen Fang." Lu Shiqing said firmly.

"I'm your mother, of course I have the right." Meng Xianghan's voice cooled down, as if she was simply explaining the relationship without any emotion, "You and him must break up."

Lu Shiqing looked at Meng Xianghan, opened her mouth but didn't make a sound, as if she couldn't refute her words, and didn't seem to understand or agree with her.

Yes, she was his mother. He used to think that it was natural for a mother to raise and discipline children, but she had never done it before.Lu Shiqing didn't understand, since he didn't take it seriously before, why now, more than ten years later, he regards the responsibility carried in this blood relationship as a right to interfere with him being with the person he likes?

Under Meng Xianghan's gouge-like eyes, Lu Shiqing picked up the cell phone and jacket beside her, and said to her sullenly before going out, "Take care of my rights, you threw them away a long time ago, now I'll pick them up again." I won’t admit it either. It’s impossible for Chen Fang and I to break up. I won’t come back until you go abroad next time, so you have a good rest. I’m leaving.”

The door was closed, and Lu Shiqing didn't hear any voice from his mother. It was true that a woman as decent and elegant as his mother was not worthy of hysteria over anything about him.

Lu Shiqing pressed the phone, and the battery of the phone, which had been used all night, was exhausted, and the screen went black.He put his phone in his pocket dejectedly, looked at the sky, it was already lit up, the firecracker red paper on the side of the street was also cleaned up, the ground was empty, he was still a little uncomfortable.

I don't know what happened to Chen Fang.

Lu Shiqing ran to the hotel quickly, and couldn't wait for the elevator to go downstairs from the top floor. He went up the walking stairs and opened the door, but there was silence.

"...Brother Fang?" Lu Shiqing entered the door, and saw that everything in the room was as tidy as when they first came in, only two folds in the fabric at the corner of the bed indicated that someone had sat here, even for a long time, and had been pressed. There are sharp wrinkles.

But Chen Fang is no longer here.

Lu Shiqing took out her phone and pressed it, so anxious that she forgot that the battery was exhausted, she dragged a charging cable from the wall to connect it, and waited for the phone screen to light up again.

Two messages popped up.

05:26

"How's it going? Are you okay?"

06:58

"I'm going back to the North District first. Contact me when you have time."
