Chapter 2 (1.2) Strict Mother, Lustful Son

“Mom, why are you back? Have you finished everything at the company? It’s not even five o’clock yet.”

”What’s it to you? What were you doing at Xinyu’s house just now? Tell me!”

”Ouch, Xia Yunhan, don’t pull my ear…it hurts…”

”What did you call me?!”

”Mom~ Hehe, you misheard me.”

In the tidy room, a beautiful woman dressed in a professional office lady outfit stood in front of me, her eyes cold and her brows furrowed. After hearing what I said, she gripped my ear even tighter.

Faced with the ear-pulling attack from this woman named Xia Yunhan, I dared not resist at all and could only respond with a sycophantic smile.

The reason is simple: she is my biological mother.

Xia Yunhan, my mother, is thirty-eight years old this year. But even though she is almost forty and hasn’t taken much care of herself, she is naturally beautiful, like a newlywed.

She looks very similar to her daughter, or rather, her daughter’s appearance is entirely inherited from her. Like two sisters, the mother and daughter both have a beautiful oval face, fair skin, willow-leaf eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, and a delicate nose.

However, the difference might be that the mother’s temperament is more aloof and mature, and she doesn’t show her emotions easily, unlike her older sister who says everything and has a very outgoing personality.

Perhaps it’s because of this personality that I’ve always been quite afraid of her since I was a child. She was very strict with me. When I was in school, she always set various time rules and requirements for me. If I violated them, she would either lecture me or hit me.

Of course, she has only hit me a handful of times, unless I am really naughty and do something really serious that makes her furious, then she will actually hit me and start hitting me with a chair.

But she was very good at controlling the intensity; she could beat me so badly I couldn’t get out of bed, but without causing any serious physical problems.

My mom was ruthless, but I actually quite enjoyed being beaten by her. The main reason was that after each beating, she would look at me with a pained expression and show concern. In the following days, even if I did something wrong, she wouldn’t say much to me.

Discovering this by chance opened the door to a new world for me. Before doing anything bad, I would always provoke my mother and get her to beat me up, and then I would go and do whatever I wanted.

So to put it bluntly, I’m just being a jerk.

But…

My gaze inadvertently swept back and forth between my mother’s white shirt and black straight skirt, and I couldn’t help but drool as I looked at her full breasts and round, plump buttocks.

My mom’s bra size is probably an F. I’m actually quite happy to be scolded and beaten by a woman with such a great figure and a pretty face like a fairy.

It still hurts.

Seeing that I was at an impasse with my mother, I noticed my older sister peeking at me from around the corner outside the door with Xinyu. I immediately understood what was going on and glared at her angrily.

It’s highly likely that my sister messaged Mom, telling her what Xinyu and I were up to, which prompted Mom to rush back.

Damn it!

But that doesn’t make sense. My mom knows about my relationship with Xinyu, and she’s never objected to us.

Just then, my mother followed my gaze and glanced outside the door. She silently withdrew her slender, white hand from my ear and said, “Bai Yushuang, you want me to pull your ear too, don’t you? And you even brought Xinyu to spy on you?”

The older sister, who had been secretly laughing, felt a chill run down her spine when she heard her mother’s tone, and hurriedly ran away with Xinyu.

After everyone left, Mom sighed, looked me up and down, and said, “Xiao Qiu, are you alright?”

”No.”

I shook my head, and after clarifying the situation, I took the opportunity to stir up trouble: “So, Mom, you rushed back because my sister messaged you saying I was in trouble? How could my sister be so inconsiderate? Doesn’t she know how hard her parents work?”

My mother remained calm and didn’t answer, quietly watching my performance. After a long while, she finally kicked me.

”Didn’t you start this? If you and your brother continue like this, and something happens next time, do you think your father and I will still care about you? Do you hear me, Bai Yushuang?”

The mother’s face was frosty, and at the end of her sentence, she looked towards the door again.

I looked towards the door with some surprise, and saw half a strand of black hair peeking out from the door frame. I raised an eyebrow.

The older sister, who had been eavesdropping outside the door, realized she had been discovered, gave an embarrassed laugh, and walked away again.

After my sister really left, Mom kicked me again in a bad mood. Seeing my wide eyes as if asking her why I kicked her when my sister was eavesdropping, she reached out and grabbed my ear.

”Bai Chuqiu, can you please stop stirring up trouble all day long? You turn the dead into the living, and black into white. And you even said you don’t know how hard parents work? If you two siblings behave yourselves, your father and I won’t be so stressed when we come home, and I’ll be happy.”

This time, Mom didn’t pull my ear very hard; the force was very light.

As I listened to her words, I took the opportunity to touch her delicate hand, pulled her to sit beside me, nodded with a grin, and leaned closer to her, almost pressing myself against her:

”Mom, I know, I know. You’ve worked so hard. Shall I give you a shoulder massage and a hand rub?”

Mom pinched my ear again, “You’re such a good actor. You said you knew, but isn’t that what you always say?”

I carefully removed my mother’s hand, put it in my bosom, and squeezed it back and forth: “Mom, you’ve misunderstood. I’m the most filial child.”

My mother did not resist my actions; instead, she turned around and faced away from me.

I quickly understood, let go of her hand, and started massaging her shoulders. I sat up straight, my gaze involuntarily drawn to her firm, round breasts.

The mother was completely unaware of this, and instead closed her eyes to enjoy the moment: “You are the most filial. From childhood to adulthood, you have caused us much more trouble than your sister. At least your sister is not naughty. When she really is naughty, it is you who takes care of her.”

I gently reached out and brushed a strand of hair from my mother’s neck, feeling the delicate touch, and smiled.

”Hehe, but now I’ve finished the college entrance exam, right? I got into a 211 university right here in our neighborhood, and I’m even in the same college as my older sister. Mom, you’ve finally made it through!”

”Have you really made it through? You’re still so young, not even 20 yet. I’m really afraid that one day you and Xinyu will suddenly tell us that you have a child and I’m going to be a grandma.”

My mother kept her eyes closed, but her face showed worry.

I was still indulging in the wonderful rose scent emanating from my mother, lost in daydreams, when she started talking about me and Xinyu, my mind went blank for a moment, and I massaged her shoulders a little too hard:

”So Mom, you don’t want me and Xinyu to be together…”

”Um… I was just reminding you and Xinyu to be careful, don’t be so rough, it hurts.”

Mom gave a soft hum, twisted her neck, and patted my hand that was on her shoulder, telling me not to squeeze so hard.

Faced with my mother’s unintentional, seductive moan, I was stunned, and a fire seemed to start burning down below.

But when Mom noticed I stopped moving, she turned around and looked at me in confusion: “Xiao Qiu, what’s wrong?”

Looking directly into my mother’s eyes, I dared not reveal any improper thoughts, and continued to massage her shoulders: “It’s nothing, I just thought of some things.”

Mom turned around, her beautiful eyes fixed on us in the dressing table mirror not far away: “What are you thinking about?”

”I wonder what it would be like for my mother to be a grandmother at her age, a thirty-year-old grandmother holding her newborn grandson, with her son and daughter-in-law, who are not yet twenty, standing to the side.”

”Hehe, anyway, Mom is just reminding you. Don’t wait until something really happens to Xinyu. Your Aunt Lu and I have been best friends for many years. I watched Xinyu grow up. She’s like my daughter. If you dare to be irresponsible, she and I will beat you to death.”

As Mom spoke, she made a fist.

I swallowed hard and said sheepishly, “Mom, Aunt Lu is so gentle, she won’t hit anyone~”

”Hmph, you just haven’t seen your Aunt Lu get angry.”

”So, Mom, if you treat Xinyu as your daughter, it’s like I’m with your daughter. Would you say that counts as an internal relationship?”

As I continued massaging my mother’s shoulders, I took the opportunity to stretch my neck, bring my head close to her neck, and take a deep breath of her fragrance.

My mother, seeing my movements through the makeup mirror, frowned slightly. “What are you saying? You two are childhood sweethearts.”

My voice was much softer, and my movements much gentler, but as I craned my neck, my gaze remained fixed on my mother’s increasingly clear chest:

”Mom, what’s the definition of childhood sweethearts? Is it a boy and girl who’ve been together since childhood? Then wouldn’t you, my sister, and I be considered childhood sweethearts too?”

My mother frowned, turned her head slightly, and stared at my profile with cold eyes: “Childhood sweethearts should at least be close in age. Besides, your sister and you are siblings, you are related by blood. What kind of childhood sweethearts are you?”

Is that so?

I didn’t notice at all that my mother was watching me. Her gaze continued to admire the mountain peaks in front of me, and I even loosened one hand and gently measured it against her chest, only to find that it was impossible to wrap my hand around it.

Just as I was thinking of switching hands for comparison, I looked up and met my mother’s cold gaze, and my heart skipped a beat.

Oh my god, what happened? Why is Mom’s eyes open? She’s always keeping them closed.

Sweating profusely, I forced a smile and said, “Mom, why are you looking at me like that?”

Noticing my hand still rubbing her shoulder, Mom slapped it away and angrily punched me: “What are you doing?! If I hadn’t looked, I wouldn’t have known what you were looking at!”

”Mom, I didn’t see anything…”

”You really didn’t see anything? I could see you were almost ready to get started!”

”Mom, I’m just comparing… comparing you with the one before Xinyu.”

”You can make comparisons all you want, but who compares their mother to someone else?”

”Then who should I go to? My sister? Are you sure she won’t kick me to death?”

”You think coming to me will prevent you from getting kicked to death? Wait, is that the point? The point is, what are you planning to do?!”

Feeling I was in the wrong, I shrank back and said sullenly, “Mom, keep your voice down, my older sister and Xinyu are still outside.”

”How dare you say that?!”

My mother stood up, her full chest heaving, clearly very angry. She instinctively reached out to grab my ear, but halfway there, she changed course and slapped me across the face.

I sat there obediently, not daring to say a word.

After taking a deep breath, my mother, just like her daughter, kicked me hard, her beautiful legs in stockings and slippers stomping as she stormed out.

I quickly caught up, and under the strange gazes of my sister and Xinyu on the living room sofa, I followed my mother to the kitchen.

My mother stopped at the right moment, turned around and gave me a cold look, “What are you doing following me?”

”Mom, you’re going to cook, right? Can I help you?” I said sincerely.

My mom’s cooking skills are nothing to write home about… The worst cook in our family isn’t me or my sister, it’s actually her.

But Mom still wasn’t in a good mood, and yelled, “Get out! We don’t need you!”

”Mom~~” I begged.

My mother ignored me completely and leaned out to shout, “Shuang’er, take your brother away! If he doesn’t listen to you, hit him!”

My sister, having received permission to start cooking, excitedly ran over, not even considering the risks my mother might face in the kitchen, and forcefully pulled me away.

When I tried to resist, my sister started hitting me, and the pain was so bad that I had no choice but to obediently go outside and sit down.

After I sat down, my mother’s voice came from the kitchen again.

“Xinyu, your mother will be back very late tonight. Why don’t you stay for dinner with us? Shuang’er, call your father and ask if he’s back yet.”

Okay~~

”Aunt Xia, let me help.”

At my mother’s command, my sister made a phone call, and Xinyu, receiving my signal, went to help. I was left alone with nothing to do, listening to the sounds of polite conversation and my sister’s voice coming from the kitchen, and just sitting there sighing.

But my sister made the call very quickly. After telling Mom in the kitchen that Dad wouldn’t be back for a few days, she grinned mischievously, moved closer to me, and nudged me with her elbow.

”Hehe, are you happy? You dare mess with me, I’ll just call Mom to deal with you.”

”Your mother’s.”

”Hey, why are you swearing at me? Besides, isn’t my mom your mom? Mom, Xiao Qiu is swearing at you!”

”Holy crap, grandma, don’t yell!”

Seeing my pained expression, my sister leaned against me as if she had gotten her revenge, swinging her long, fair legs as she looked at her tablet: “Still messing with your sister?”

”Damn it, if I don’t kill you later, I’m not your brother,” I said calmly.

My sister chuckled, looked up, and pinched my cheek: “Then, your sister will be waiting for you!”

Again, our anger lasted only half a day before my brother and I made up, much like some elderly couples who fight in bed and make up at the foot of the bed.

I slapped her hand away impatiently, then remembered something and my gaze fell on the two figures busy in the kitchen: “Sister, why did you call Mom back like that? Doesn’t she go to work?”

”She’s at work, but she has a company party this afternoon, right? She told me a long time ago that she was too lazy to go, so I’m calling her back now, which gives her a reason. Hehe, look at me, what a filial daughter I am.”

”Hehe, yes, how filial.”

I said with a forced smile, after getting punched by my sister, I smelled her fragrance, leaned my head against hers, and watched videos of her favorite gaming bloggers with her:

”Sis, Dad hasn’t been back for almost half a month, has he? He’s been away on business for so long?”

”I don’t know, anyway, don’t worry about the adult world, and don’t bother me.” My sister shook her head and pinched me.

I thought about it and still felt something was off, so I leaned close to my sister’s ear:

”Sis, has Dad ever been traveling for work this frequently before? No, right? And it’s only the beginning of August. In previous years, he usually traveled for work in September?”

My sister’s ears tickled, and her delicate body trembled. She turned to look at me, meeting my long, narrow, and alluring phoenix eyes. She frowned slightly, sat up a little straighter, and then, supporting her face with her hands, tentatively asked, “So what do you mean?”

Seeing that my sister was starting to admire my handsome looks again, I wasn’t as happy as usual; my thoughts were focused on our conversation:

”Is it possible that Dad is cheating on me? Is he seeing someone else?”

She touched my face up and down, sighed, then smiled again and leaned back against me.

”Don’t make wild guesses~~ Instead of guessing this, you should think about when you’ll be found by a talent scout again? You have such a pretty face, but after being found by someone a few years ago, nothing ever came of it.”

When my sister said that, it reminded me of the dark experience I had after being scouted by a talent agent.

If there’s any further development, your brother will end up with those old aunties…

A chill ran down my spine. I didn’t want this wound, which I’d never spoken of to anyone, to be reopened, so I tried to brush it off with a lie:

”Is this what you call a compliment?”

”Yes, yes, my brother is handsome and talented, but he likes to use foul language.”

”Hey~~~”

”What do you mean ‘hey’? ‘Foul language’ is a compliment!” My sister kicked me, speaking righteously.

I pursed my lips and remained silent.

Oh well, at least she complimented me on my looks.

Our whole family is very good-looking. My mom and older sister look like twin sisters, and my dad is a handsome middle-aged man.

As for me, I’m not far behind. Not only do I have handsome features, but I also inherited my father’s phoenix eyes, which don’t look effeminate. Instead, they have a kind of wicked charm, making me a cynical and carefree person.

A little while later, as the streetlights came on, Mom and Xinyu prepared the meal. My sister and I, not wanting to be scolded, went over to help out and fetch some things.

When my mother saw me on the way, she didn’t give me a friendly look. She was probably still bothered by the offensive manner I had unintentionally displayed when I was massaging her shoulders.

What can I do? Men are lustful, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Besides, from childhood to adulthood, Mom, when I massage you, you always keep your eyes closed and never open them.

It wasn’t my fault! (not really)

The living room was filled with the rich aroma of food. After turning on the TV, the four of us sat at the dining table and watched the local station’s evening news program on time.

Xinyu’s mother’s name is Lu Xiuyue. She was originally a reporter, but because of her good abilities, she was promoted and worked her way up until she became a host at our local TV station.

And this evening news program at this time is the one that Aunt Lu will be hosting.

The woman on TV had her hair tied in a low ponytail and wore a well-tailored dark blue business suit. The V-neck design of the top perfectly revealed her slender neck and delicate collarbone, making her both dignified and subtly sexy.

Her lower body was not visible, but her eyes were almond-shaped, and her lips were adorned with a dusty rose lipstick. Combined with her intellectual and elegant temperament, she was beautiful yet poised and mature.

Such a person is the best embodiment of the word “gentle and refined” at first glance.

Of course, I think that’s why Aunt Lu was able to get promoted.

Aunt Lu has such a refined, scholarly air about her, plus her clear pronunciation and incredibly gentle tone of voice. It would be a waste if she weren’t a host.

Aunt Lu is probably the best news anchor I’ve ever had since I was a child. That’s my impression of this profession.

It was precisely because of Aunt Lu and Xinyu that whenever Aunt Lu was reading from her script at mealtimes, we would turn on the TV to watch the news.

”Hey, Xinyu, your mom’s here.”

”I see, Aunt Xia, eat more.”

”Good, good, good. Our Xinyu is so sensible, unlike some other two people.”

Mom took the things from Xiang Xinyu, glancing at my sister and me intermittently.

I understood, and was about to put something on my mother’s plate when I saw a piece of meat, half-eaten, being held by chopsticks held out to me. I frowned and looked at my sister beside me:

”Sis, don’t give me food you don’t want to eat.”

The older sister didn’t say anything, but picked up some food for her mother and then lowered her head to eat her rice.

I wanted to throw away the half-eaten meat, but then I noticed my mother’s dangerous gaze, so I had no choice but to bite down on the thing covered in my older sister’s saliva and put it in my mouth.

But after I ate it, I realized, damn, why is this so salty?!

My dear mom, you didn’t mix the salt evenly!

I was about to vomit, but my mother’s cold gaze made me swallow it down with difficulty.

My sister was gloating over my misfortune, and I couldn’t stand it, so I kicked her.

My sister is the type to settle scores on the spot, and she and I started kicking each other under the table, making a constant clattering noise.

Snap!

”If you’re not going to eat, get back to your rooms!”

Mom slammed her chopsticks down, and my sister and I immediately started eating obediently.

Xiang Xinyu watched as her siblings and I were stunned, her lips curling into a smile. But then, after picking up a piece of equally salty and bitter meat, she bared her teeth.

However, after the little girl swallowed it down, she found me suddenly frozen in place, staring intently at the TV screen.

She immediately called out to me, somewhat surprised, “Ah Qiu, what are you looking at?”

My mother and sister also looked at me, and they were very surprised to see me standing there dumbfounded.

My mother called my name, and my sister waved her hand in front of my face, but I didn’t react at all.

Thinking something had happened to me, the three women put down their bowls at the same time, looking flustered, and kept calling out to me.

But as they pushed back their chairs to get up, I slammed my hand on the table and stood up first, my eyes wide open.

I can’t see anything in my house, but my eyes aren’t blind. In my field of vision, I’m actually facing a teleprompter in the distance and a bunch of cameras.

I felt like I was in a studio, and I could vaguely see through the reflection in the studio glass that my eyes were on Xinyu’s mother, Aunt Lu.

What puzzled me even more was that in the corner of my field of vision, there was a line of words that appeared out of nowhere…

[Shared Vision: As the name suggests, it allows the other party to share a field of vision unilaterally, or in both directions.]
