DCBS: Chapter 135 Part 3

Pei Yan stood in place and looked at his disappearing back. He didn’t move for a long time.

That night, he didn’t show up for the appointment.

He sent a polite text ahead of time to his date, whom he had never met. He asked her to forgive him for missing an appointment.

The employees left work one after another. Pei Yan stayed alone in the quiet office’s rest room and slept for a long time.

He was too sleepy.

Late at night, he drove home.

The light was still on at home. Ye Lanting sat on the sofa in the living room and it wasn’t known how long she had been sitting there.

Their eyes met in the air and then staggered. Neither one of them spoke and the atmosphere was stagnant.

This was the first time he didn’t take the initiative to say hello to his mother.

Pei Yan returned to his room and continued his unfinished sleep.

He didn’t have insomnia and he had a rare dream.

When he woke up the next day, Pei Yan saw the shadow of a bird on the windowsill in a trance. The trembling emerald tail features were like extremely beautiful gems.

He sat on the bed and watched a colorful sunrise.

It was a rare bright morning.

It was only after waking up that Pei Yan found that there was only one thing missing from his room.

He hurried downstairs. Ye Lanting was eating breakfast in the garden as usual.

Seeing him coming, she looked over with a smiling expression. It was as if the morning stillness had never happened.

“Mom, where did that wooden box go?”

He finally took the initiative to speak. Ye Lanting smiled even more and replied to him, “I saw that it was covered in dust. It should be things you don’t want so I cleaned it up.”

Seeing her son’s eyes flicker violently, Ye Lanting looked surprised. “What’s wrong? Is there anything more important in there?”

Pei Yan’s fingers clenched tightly. His nails were embedded in his palms and turned white with force.

“Yes.”

He heard himself answer.

“Then what should I do?” Ye Lanting’s face was stunned and he said softly, “I’ll ask Mother Li to look for it later. I can’t remember where I lost it.”

However, Pei Yan knew he couldn’t get it back.

It was his mother’s punishment for trying to break free of her control.

Ye Lanting asked again with a bit of curiosity in her voice, “What is in there? Is it so important?”

Pei Yan looked at her steadily, squeezing a difficult response from his throat. “You know.”

She wouldn’t tolerate anything unknown in her vision.

She must’ve rummaged through that box a long time ago and chose to put her chips on the table today.

After the words came out, Pei Yan didn’t look at her expression any longer. He turned around and left the house.

Instead of going to work, he drove around the huge city.

The motor roared and the exhaust spread. He wandered through the traffic, waiting for flashing red and green lights. Gradually, he followed the guidance of instinct and turned into a familiar street that he hadn’t been to in years.
