Weizhou's mother put the phone back down, her heart felt heavy. "I shouldn't have said things like that to Jingyu," she muttered as she stroked her chest. After hearing Weizhou's confession yesterday, she felt uneasy. Even though Weizhou said he liked Jingyu only as a friend, Mama Xu knew Weizhou better than anyone. She could read that her son was interested in Jingyu more than a friend. His eyes lit up every time she mentioned Jingyu's name. His mother realized that from the very first time her son brought Jingyu to her house, her son was very excited to introduce his friend named Jingyu.
She leaned her head against the sofa and massaged her forehead. She realized that even though her son liked Jingyu, she shouldn't talk to Jingyu like that. Jingyu has saved the lives of his loved ones twice and it would be cruel if she blamed Jingyu for what happened to her son. Her son is still in a confusing stage of growth. It's easy to fall in love and get bored easily. Maybe he wasn't serious about Jingyu. His feelings for Jingyu were only temporary. She shouldn't have made it a big deal.
Weizhou's mother took a deep breath, and suddenly a hand lightly touched her shoulder. She turned and saw her husband smiling.
"What is it, honey?", Mr. Xu asked.
"No...it's nothing" she answered hesitating.
"Really? But...".
"I'm fine, honey" she forced her words cutting his in the middle.
"So you started playing secrets with me?" He inquired.
"What secret? No secret, honey. I'm just thinking about our son", she blurted out panicking.
"What's wrong with him? Is he causing trouble at school?", Mr. Xu asked frowning.
"No, it's not like that. It's just he's growing up so fast" she answered forcing out a smile.
Mr. Xu laughed and pinched his wife's cheek affectionately.
"Yeah, he'll become a man soon. Will have a family and a life of his own. Then he will leave us in this house".
Mrs. Xu just nodded, but the storm in her heart was indicating something else.
"Yeah, but he's going to give us a cute grandson", said Mr. Xu excited.
Mr. Xu caressed her husband's hand affectionately.
"Of course, honey. Don't think too hard. Or else it will affect your health. Now, go to the garden and get some roses to put in the restaurant. Do your hobby and forget your worries. Our son will be fine, trust me", coaxed Mr. Xu.
Mrs. Xu could only nod. Mr. Xu kissed her forehead and left to continue his work.
"Hopefully so," Mrs.Xu mumbled as she gazed at her garden through the window.
