Chapter 237 Once Upon a Time(1/2)
When Wang Zixu first met An Younan, she held his hands and shook them around. Although she had the fresh tail tone of Olong Citrus Cologne, the social distance was too close to him, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
That night, he lay on the bed to ruminate, thinking that in addition to being good at dancing and being weird and tricky, this "Caiyuan" also gave him an inexplicable sense of intimacy. This made him suspect that he was a lewd man, and when he was touched by a girl's house, he began to lose his mind.
Half-dream and half-awake, he suddenly thought of the source of this sense of intimacy: Ah, it turns out that her surname is An, and she is the same surname as my mother.
Wang Zixu's mother's surname is An, which is an extremely rare surname. Wang Zixu's father's surname is Wang, which is an extremely common surname. When he was young, Wang Zixu was just like his own surname, and was an ordinary boy who could be seen everywhere.
So like other foolish men and women of the same age, he once vaguely fantasized: If I were not Wang, but An, would my life be different? Would it be less ordinary?
The answer is obvious. Of course there will be differences. If his surname is An, then he is not Wang Zixu, but An Zixu. This name is like the second male lead in Xianxia novels, the master of the heroine, and later had an inappropriate love with the heroine.
This idea gradually disappeared when he grew up. Wang Zixu was Wang Zixu, who had a very ordinary surname and was one of the many people, which was very regretful.
In short, after he learned An Younan's name, he did not immediately react, "This is my mother's surname", which made him feel very guilty later.
From this we can see that as an individual, the role of mother has faded out of Wang Zixu's life for a long time, so long that he needs reaction time to touch his mother's surname.
We all know that Wang Zixu's mother left home when she was 8 years old and never came back.
But this does not mean that Wang Zixu has never seen his mother again after he was 8 years old. In fact, he met him once when he was 14 years old.
He was in junior high school at that time. In the second class in the afternoon, the class teacher appeared at the door of the classroom and called him out, so he met Ms. An in the corridor.
Ms. An opened her arms and smiled like a flower. She hugged him hard, then took him to McDonald's, and ordered a large table of fried chicken burgers.
During the meal, Ms. An talked a lot with him, chattering endlessly, but he forgot what he said. He devoted all his thoughts to deal with the fried chicken.
There was only one sentence that impressed him: Ms. An promised him that when she gained a foothold, she would take Wang Zixu to Donghai and live with her.
He also forgot how Wang Zixu responded at that time. It was really hard to deal with the original chicken sucking fingers. It was very likely that he did not respond to anything.
However, even if Ms. An really plans to take him away, he probably won't agree. Ms. An abandoned Lao Wang and left. If he abandoned Lao Wang, it would be too unfair to Lao Wang.
The next day he went to school, and a bunch of classmates came to ask him if the white-collar woman who came to pick him up yesterday was a mother-in-law who was full of famous brands.
It turned out that after Ms. An left yesterday, her appearance and demeanor left a deep impression among the students. How could she look like a middle-aged woman who gave birth to a child? She is simply a beautiful female star.
The students discussed her hairstyle, her dress, her appearance and figure. In any case, they could not connect her image with the rustic guy Wang Zixu.
Some fashion experts among students have found that the price of Ms. An’s clothes and jewelry combined may be more expensive than the outfits of the whole class, and with her temperament and confidence, it is absolutely impossible to be pirated.
Everyone was amazed at Wang Zixu's mother, and even looked at Wang Zixu more than once. Everyone showed unconcealed envy of him, and many people who usually ignored him also came to talk to him.
In short, Ms. An’s visit unexpectedly made Wang Zixu a famous figure in this grade. Wang Zixu realized that having a mother was such a good thing.
Later, Ms. An talked with Wang Zixu several times online. Wang Zixu did not have his own mobile phone, so she could only reply to messages in the microcomputer class. A conversation lasted for a long time, and the online chatted out the feeling of being slow in the past.
Later, the frequency of chatting between the two gradually decreased, and Ms. An did not mention the plan to take Wang Zixu away from Xihe again. This matter was left unresolved. Later, she stopped contacting her completely.
When Wang Zixu met Ms. An again, it was now.
The moment he saw her, the moment, all the fragmented passages of life were connected into lines in his mind.
An Younan looked around, like a nervous golden hamster, pretending to be calm, but the expression on her face revealed her panic.
"Ha." She laughed dryly and said to Wang Zixu, "Look at you, you are nervous, and you are called wrong..."
"Prince Xu." Ms. An's words made An Younan silent, "Follow me."
Her face was serious and even a little unhappy.
An Younan said: "Mom, he is..."
"Don't talk for now." She stopped An Younan in a stern tone. "I have something to talk to him, so just stay in the living room and don't walk around casually."
"But he..."
"obedient!"
An Younan pursed her lips, feeling aggrieved like a baby. Wang Zixu had never seen her look so weak, pitiful and helpless.
"Come with me."
Wang Zixu followed his mother to the second floor. She pushed open a door and waved to him: "Come in." So Wang Zixu went in.
It looked like her room. She brought a chair from the dressing table, pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down." Wang Zixu then sat down again.
Ms. An sat opposite him.
She is old.
Her facial skin is fair and tender, and her hair is still dark and dense. At first glance, she looks like a woman in her twenties and thirties.
But after observing for a while, you will find that because she often uses hyaluronic acid to stabilize her face, her apple muscles are a little stiff, and her eyes also show a fatigue that only the elderly can have.
Wang Zixu wanted to cry at this time, but he couldn't shed a single tear.
Her appearance has not changed much compared to Wang Zixu's memory, but her temperament has changed too much.
In his memory, she, surrounded by a worn apron, would take out many dishes from the kitchen like magic;
She would sit by the bed, and the clothes passing by her hands would roll up flat as if they were burned by an iron;
She would wait on time at the school gate, raise her hands high when she saw Wang Zixu coming out, and then hold hands and walk along the street where the sunset is falling.
But the woman in front of her has a completely different temperament, and she is completely different from her childhood impression. Time seems to slip away from the funnel, and there is no trace left by those times.
"What are you doing recently?" asked Ms. An.
"I was invited by your daughter to make a book." Wang Zixu answered honestly. He completely threw the things An Younan told him.
Ms. An said: "I'm not asking you this, I'm asking, what job are you doing?"
"I quit my job. I'm writing full-time now."
Ms. An said: "Didn't you pass the civil servant exam in Xihe before?"
Wang Zixu said: "Terr."
Ms. An frowned.
Her focus is, why do you quit your job as a civil servant? What are you thinking? But Wang Zixu thought she just didn't hear it clearly.
"Prince Xu, you are not young anymore," said Ms. An. "I am over thirty this year?"
“Thirty-one.”
"It's 31st, why are you still like a child?" she said, "What will you do in the future if you quit your job? How do you pay your medical insurance and social insurance? When you go out, others ask you what you do, how do you introduce yourself? Do you say you are unemployed and vagrant?"
Wang Zixu said: "It's not impossible to repay me."
Ms. An said: "You still have to support your father. Your income is so unstable. Can you support you two?"
"My book has just been featured in "Get" recently, and it will be published soon and get royalties. I want to strive to get a literary award, just..."
Wang Zixu finally plucked up the courage to talk about his achievements, but was immediately interrupted by Ms. An.
"How much income can royalties get? It's not decades ago now. Can a book last a lifetime?"
After Ms. An finished speaking, she said, "I have met many writers who have serious jobs so that they can have a status in society. Do you just hope to create something and get respect from others? Are you married?"
Wang Zixu said: "It's a knot, no, no knot."
"Are you married?"
This question made Wang Zixu confused. Yes, are I getting married?
"It's over," he said.
"Do your wife support you in quit your job and write?" asked Ms. An.
Wang Zixu said: "She ran away from home."
Ms. An frowned and stared at him for a long time, and seemed to finally soften her heart and sighed.
"I didn't care enough about you before, so I blamed me. You may have blamed me in your heart, but I also have my own difficulties."
"I have never blamed you." Wang Zixu said.
"How did you find this place?"
"coincide."
"It's not that Younan invited you. You can't come here. You know who she is, so you have a relationship with her?"
"No," Wang Zixu felt sweating behind his back, "I only learned about her relationship with you today."
Ms. An stared at him for a long time, as if she wanted to see from his eyes whether he was telling the truth.
After a long time, she sighed, opened her handbag, searched for something in the handbag, and moved quickly, and finally took out a card.
"I have a bank card here, and there are about 200,000 yuan in it. You can take it."
Wang Zixu did not reach out.
"I think I'm too little? I have only that." Ms. An raised her eyebrows.
"No," said Wang Zixu, "I don't need money."
Ms. An took back the card: "I know it's wrong for me that I haven't seen you in the past few years. But I don't want to see your dad, and he doesn't want to see me either.
"This marriage with your father was a mistake in my life. It took me a lot of money to correct this mistake. When I see you, I think of him. Do you understand?"
Wang Zixu nodded, feeling a little bitter: "I understand."
