Chapter 40

If it was before, Jiang Yu Man wouldn't even be able to say this to Hai Xiu, but Hai Xiu was different now. He was now more cheerful and a.s.sertive. But when it came to his biological father, Jiang Yu Man thought that she still need to explain it to Hai Xiu and ask for his opinions.

Hai Hao Wei had been bothering her these past few days, he also said that he'd go to Hai Xiu's school to find the kid. That was why Jiang Yu Man was worried a few days ago. She was afraid that Hai Hao Wei's sudden appearance would scare Hai Xiu. Thus, when Hai Xiu's vacation started, she felt relieved. However, when she got home, she saw some pieces of clothing in Hai Xiu's closet that she had never seen before. The worry feeling in her heart raised once again, thinking that Hai Hao Wei had already contacted Hai Xiu.

On the other hand, Hai Xiu knew that his father was Jiang Yu Man's source of pain. He pondered for a second and then confessed: "Mom… remember the money you gave me before? That is… the money you want me to give to Feng Fei… for my living expenses…"

Jiang Yu Man was confused: "What about it?"

Hai Xiu's head lowered: "I… I gave it, but Feng Fei didn't want it, he just—"

Jiang Yu Man's thoughts were interrupted and she said suddenly: "Didn't you tell me that you have already given it to him?"

Hai Xiu then said shyly: "No, Feng Fei said it's not necessary. He also told me to keep it first, not to tell you because it will make you feel uneasy and won't let me go to his house."

Jiang Yu Man laughed: "You two children…" she couldn't bear to criticize her son as her voice slowed down, "Then you have to tell mother ah. Why would you help an outsider to keep it from me?"

Hai Xiu whispered apologies: "It's my fault… Feng Fei said that you're usually very busy and we cannot worry you about these little things."

Jiang Yu Man's heart was moved, she helplessly said: "Feng Fei is truly a thoughtful child, but it's not good ah. You're living and eating in other people's house everyday, how could we take advantage of that?"

"I used the money to buy something for him." Hai Xiu slowly brought the topic back, "But Feng Fei also bought some things for… Those things you haven't seen before in my closet."

Only then did Jiang Yu Man understood: "Like I've said, when you're going to buy your own clothes, ah forget it… when you're hanging out with someone, you have to settle the bill diligently. Even though you're good friend, this friends.h.i.+p will come and go too, or you won't be good for a long time." His son always had a hard time making friends, so these kind of small things shouldn't affect two people. She was really worried about her son afterall.

Hai Xiu obediently nodded: "En, I know."

After confirming that Hai Hao Wei hadn't contacted Hai Xiu, Jiang Yu Man finally relaxed a little. She pondered for awhile before telling Hai Xiu about the recent event.

"Your Dad?!" Feng Fei almost forgot that Hai Xiu had a father. He recalled, "Didn't he cheat on your mother when you were in primary school and then your mother divorced him?"

Hai Xiu nodded: "Yes. After their divorce, I followed my mother. We didn't contact each other on the first few years, then later on when I went to Junior High School, he'd come to see me once every New Year. My mother would accompany me."

Ever since that day Jiang Yu Man told him about his father, Hai Xiu's mind had been occupied with this thing. Before Feng Fei came back, Hai Xiu feared that he would affect Feng Fei's good mood. Whenever they talked on the phone, he would try to pretend that nothing happened. But now that Feng Fei was back, after a few kisses here and there, he couldn't help but blurt these out.

"My grandmother had been sick these past few days. It's nothing serious, but she lost a lot of weight and didn't have enough energy… Then she advised my father and hoped that he should remarry," Hai Xiu felt helpless, "She also contacted my mother several times."

Feng Fei was confused: "But your father cheated, right? He didn't marry the person he cheated with?"

"They did." Speaking of which, Hai Xiu was also quite speechless, "But the woman also cheated and had a kid with someone, so they divorced."

Feng Fei almost choked out a laugh, instead he coughed and said: "And then? Your father wants to remarry your mother?"

Hai Xiu shook his head, "Then my father found another one, but when they were about to get married, it seemed that something went wrong. Then it didn't happen and he never found another again."

Feng Fei almost understood: "So your father married someone else when your mother divorced him. Then the marriage wasn't smooth and they didn't even have any children. Your grandma is sick, while lying down, she probably think there will be n.o.body to take care of your father once he became old, then thought of you and wants your parents to remarry, right?"

Hai Xiu nodded and said full of admiration: "You're awesome! I didn't understand it for a long time when my mother told me about this."

Feng Fei had relatives, so he already head these kind of things more than Hai Xiu. He thought for a moment, and then: "What about your father? Did he listen to your grandma just to rea.s.sure her or he really wants to remarry?"

Hai Xiu hesitated: "I feel like…he was just trying to rea.s.sure my grandmother."

He then slowly said, "According to the rules, my father should give me living expenses, but he never gave it, and he rarely went to see me… Actually before… one year before, I, I was very introverted that time…"

Feng Fei thought of the year when Hai Xiu was isolated by his brute teacher.

Hai Xiu whispered: "My father visited me that year, watching me talk and I kept my head down… He frowned at my mother and asked how did she raise me. Although I couldn't look at her while she ridiculed my father, I knew that she was actually very sad. It was very uncomfortable…"

Feng Fei clenched his teeth, he wanted to curse a few words to Hai Hao Wei, but was afraid that it might implicate something on Hai Xiu, so he endured not saying anything.

Seeing Feng Fei unhappy, Hai Xiu smiled and comforted him: "That was all in the past… I'm much better now, and even better that I'm with you… By the way," Hai Xiu was a little shy when he said in a small voice, "The other day, my mother praised me. She said thanks to you that I have changed a lot, love to talk and look better. Saying that I'm a changed person, a lot more cute."

Hai Xiu was very embarra.s.sed, but he still couldn't help asking: "Am I… Am I really getting better ah?"

Feng Fei looked at Hai Xiu's bright black eyes, a small red face, and his heart tickled. He grinned: "Let's talk about the right thing first before I listen to everything else."

Not confirming his question, Hai Xiu was a little dissatisfied. However, he still continued: "Where was I… Oh yeah, my father was very upset with me and thought I was too introverted."

"He visited me once a year, and always felt that my mother didn't raise me well and was not satisfied, so I think he doesn't really want to remarry." Hai Xiu then guessed, "It's also possible that he recently found out my mother had been promoted and that I was getting better…"

Unable to refrain himself from seeing Hai Xiu like this, he pushed the boy on the bed and took a bite, and made a determined effort to say with a smile: "Fine, fine, I'll admit it, okay? You look better, a lot better than before. I can't stand not to see you, I want to live together and work for you—"

Hai Xiu's went red, he gently pushed Feng Fei and murmured: "Be… Be serious ah…"

"You know what's going on, too?" Feng Fei was half-lying on the bed, holding Hai Xiu's hand and playing with it, "Continue."

"In short, I don't think he's still in love with my mother. Just because he made a lot of detours and found that my mother is the best." Hai Xiu didn't want to talk bad about his father, but the facts were in front of him. He couldn't deceive himself, "Or that he found out that it is best to go with my mother."

Feng Fei sneered in his heart and agreed. Hai Hao Wei, this sc.u.m, glanced back to discover that returning to his former wife would be more successful and pretended that he regret what he'd done before.

Feng Feu then asked, "What did auntie say?"

Hai Xiu was thinking that Jiang Yu Man was very distressed. He said: "My mother certainly doesn't want to. Although she didn't say it, I know she enjoy her single life now. The only thing she worry about everyday is me. I am much better now than before, so she should relax, but my father always contacted her, he also said he wanted to visit and let me know him well…"

"To be close with this uncle ah…" Feng Fei couldn't help but burst out, "Is he sick?! Does he know our school?"

Hai Xiu nodded with some embarra.s.sment: "He knew. My mother didn't tell him… but he heard it from someone else."

Feng Fei pondered for a moment and laughed: "He will go, if he's really willing to go."

Hai Xiu's tone was firm: "My mother will certainly not agree to remarry, I also don't want… My grandmother called me two days ago and it was picked up by my mother. She took my mobile phone card and said that I wait for the weekend and she'll give me another one."

"Nah, don't bother your mother, let's get it instead." Feng Fei considered the next words, and said, "Just don't go home for a few days, stay here. The door is strictly closed, no one can come here. We are also always together, so you don't have to worry about your father coming here."

Hai Hao Wei wasn't going to take a look at Hai Xiu, but if he was really eager and suddenly found Hai Xiu, it would be disastrous. Feng Fei was really considerate and thoughtful. "Your mother has been busy lately, has enough trouble, so don't let her worry about you anymore."

"My mother…." Hai Xiu was a bit embarra.s.sed, "she said sorry because we are bothering you too much." Jiang Yu Man didn't really want Hai Xiu to be seen by Hai Hao Wei. He was getting better, so she was afraid that this thing might affected him.

Feng Fei's eyes brightened: "Auntie also wanted you to come here?"

Hai Xiu shyly said: "I didn't dare show that I'm too happy, afraid that she'll see it."

There was twinkling in Feng Fei's eyes: "You're happy?"

Hai Xiu nodded honestly: "This half month.. I really miss you."

Feng Fei smiled seriously: "What did you think? Did you think about me all the time?"

Upon hearing the flirting tone in Feng Fei's words, Hai Xiu's face became red and he didn't answer. Feng Fei was in a good mood, he hugged Hai Xiu and roll on the bed: "Well, I'll call auntie and talk to her."
