"Goodnight, Gu Mingxi."
Pang Qian laughed as she leaned against the door to Apt. 501. From the crack, her head came out and she waved at Gu Mingxi.
"Goodnight," Gu Mingxi said. Pang Qian closed her door, and then Gu Mingxi lifted his foot to knock on his own house door. Li Han came to open the door for him.
After walking into his house, the first thing he did was head to the kitchen to drink water. He was pretty thirsty. He didn't use a straw, or grab onto the cup with his foot. He just bent over and bit the cup, upturning it, and gulping down the water.
This method naturally meant that some of the water would drip down. It streamed down his chin and neck, onto his clothes. Li Han complained, "You got your clothes wet."
Gu Mingxi bent over to put the cup back down. He turned his head to wipe the water on his mouth onto his shirt. "It's okay, I'm going to take a shower right now."
Li Han stood at the entrance to the kitchen, "Son, I'll make you a bowl of dumplings. You hardly ate anything at dinner."
Mothers really know (their children) best. Gu Mingxi felt all warm inside, as he smiled and said, "It's okay, Mom. Pang Qian and I ate, stir fried noodles and lamb skewers."
Li Han was silent a moment, then muttered, "Don't eat at these street vendors in the future. It's not clean."
Gu Mingxi laughed, "I'm going to shower."
"Do you want me to help scrub your back?"
"No, thanks."
After Gu Mingxi finished washing up, he walked out and back to his room, in only his underpants. When he entered, he was startled to see Li Han sitting on the edge of his bed. "Mom!"
Li Han looked up at him, eyes all red. Realizing how peculiar she seemed, Gu Mingxi couldn't be bothered with putting his clothes on. He sat down next to her ans asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Li Han didn't answer him, but she replied, "Son, were you very unhappy today?"
That was pretty much a rhetorical question. Of course Gu Mingxi would be a bit unhappy, but he didn't take any of it to heart. And especially after eating with Pang Qian, he didn't really care anymore.
He was very close to his mom, so he just told her the truth. "When we were having dinner, I was a bit [upset], but not anymore. Mom, it's not like you don't know. Grandpa, Grandma, and Aunt have always been like this."
Li Han looked at her son's bare body. Her son really grew up. His height and his body were already becoming like an adult's. But no matter how you looked at it, his cut off shoulders were very glaring.
She touched her hand to his shoulder. Gu Mingxi didn't move away, but he frowned. "Mom..."
"Sometimes I'll have a dream," Li Han said. "In my dream, you still have your arms. You're just like all the other kids, very healthy..."
"Mom-" Gu Mingxi dragged out this word, cutting off Li Han. Moving her shoulder from her hand, "Please, stop saying these things, okay?"
Li Han wiped at her eyes. "Mingxi, I've been thinking a lot recently. If I have another baby, what's going to happen to you? What will your dad leave for you in the future? If I can't have another baby, then what happens with the two of us? Your grandpa wants another grandchild, and he's already older than 70. Your father is very filial, so he wants to have another child. But I'm already 42 years old..."
