It didn't take long for my mother to find me. She was taken aback for a moment, as if she didn't recognize me, then her expression changed immediately, and her eyes were full of anger.
"Mom—" I walked in front of her, not even daring to raise my head completely. But before the end of this sound fell, I felt a slap on my cheek, which was hot and painful.
Mother's face was twisted, looking at me angrily.
Many people looked here in surprise or curiosity, some smiled, some pointed at me with their hands outstretched, and some were discussing something in a low voice.
—Yes, she will not eat me.
At most, they just slap me a few times in public and scold me a few words. At most, it was once again being watched by strangers around like monkeys, which I have already become accustomed to.
Be patient, if you resist now, it will only attract her greater anger and more curious eyes from the people around her.
"Gu Yu!" My mother's face was contorted with anger, she grabbed me by the collar and pulled me over, trembling all over, "You are really lying! Look at you, what do you look like! What about your hair! When did you lose your hair? Secretly cut it off! You still wear such cheap shirts and jeans, who told you to wear them!"
"Mom, can you stay here..." I squeezed my voice through my teeth, trying to leave this crowded place surrounded by people.
"You still dare to talk back! Going to school, you have become more courageous!" But my mother's emotions were agitated, and she became even more furious after hearing my words. She raised her hand high and was about to slap me a second time .
I flinched subconsciously and closed my eyes. But the imagined pain did not come.
Someone grabbed my mom's raised wrist.
I raised my head and met Wen Jiubai's smiling face.
"Auntie, it doesn't seem very good to be in public like this."
"Who are you?" The mother shook off Wen Jiubai's hand and turned her finger on him, "Who are you! I'm teaching my own son, what has it got to do with you! Get out of the way!"
Wen Jiubai was neither humble nor overbearing, and continued with a smile, "That's very strange. Since you also know that your own child is a son, why do you force him to grow long hair and wear women's clothes?"
"This has nothing to do with you!" My mother tugged at my clothes again, and I staggered a bit before I stood upright.
It's really unlucky, it doesn't matter if I'm scolded, but Wen Jiubai just saw my embarrassed appearance.
"But I'm really curious." Wen Jiubai stood in front of me unobtrusively, with a smile on his face, "Even if it's a family matter, there must be a reason, otherwise it will be regarded as domestic violence and you can call the police oh."
"Why are you being such a nonsense, I think I should be the one who should call the police!" The mother also stared back without showing any weakness, "What kind of domestic violence, I am doing it for the sake of my own children, how could an outsider like you understand?" Woolen cloth!"
"I really don't understand." Wen Jiubai rubbed his chin, and asked pretending to be confused, "You force a boy to dress up like a girl, why is it for his own good?"
"Look at him, what a nice skin, why doesn't he know how to dress himself up!" My mother dragged me to Wen Jiubai like a chicken, "How can a good man like him now? I'm also thinking about the rest of his life, he's still young and doesn't understand the sinister people in this world, of course I have to think about him as a mother!"
Mother was still the same as before, beautifying all coercion and threats into "for my own good". So righteous words, so reasonable, that tone even I have to believe.
"So that's the case." Wen Jiubai nodded thoughtfully, "So, the purpose of your educating Gu Yu in this way is so that he can find a good man in the future?"
"Of course!" said the mother sharply.
"Then, hasn't your educational goal been achieved?" Wen Jiubai blinked innocently.
Mother frowned, "What do you mean?"
I was also a little confused, and looked at Wen Jiubai inexplicably. And the latter showed a standard sly smirk.
It's over, I have a bad premonition in my heart, this guy shouldn't do anything in front of my mother!
I saw Wen Jiubai cleared his throat, smiled and put his arms around my shoulders, "Auntie, to be honest, I am your son's boyfriend."
Both my mother and I froze at the same time, and no one was able to speak for a while.
"And, as far as I am concerned." Wen Jiubai was still talking slowly, "Although Xiaoyu's women's clothing is very interesting, I still like Gu Xiaoyu with short hair and simple shirt and denim. This kind of him is the most real , not a puppet under the control of his mother. Auntie, do you think so?"
The mother's throat rolled up and down a few times, her eyes were as big as quail eggs, she first looked at Wen Jiubai, then at me, and pointed at me with a trembling hand, "You...you, you—get out of here ! Get the hell out of here! What the hell, Gu Yu, you are really good! Get out!"
"Mom, no, listen to me—" I eagerly opened my mouth to explain, but was interrupted mercilessly.
"I won't listen, I don't have a son like you! Get out of my sight!"
I wanted to explain, but Wen Jiubai unquestionably took my hand. That's right, if I don't leave at this time, there must be even more terrifying punches and kicks waiting for me.
Wen Jiubai pulled me quickly through the curious crowd and left the train station. I looked up to see his expression, this guy was still smiling.
"You're still laughing! You're laughing!" I couldn't beat my anger.
"Tell me, didn't I perform really well just now?" Wen Jiubai actually bumped my shoulder shamelessly, "Your mother was completely speechless."
"Good sister!" I turned my head away from the headache, "Thanks to you, I have become a homeless person!"
"That kind of home, it's fine if you don't go back." Wen Jiubai put away his frivolous expression and put on a serious expression, "I'll pay for it, let's go to a hotel."
"It's easy for you to say! It's not your home anyway!" I couldn't help shouting at Wen Jiubai, but soon realized my gaffe.
It's not Wen Jiubai's fault, on the contrary, he wanted to help me. But before that, he didn't ask me if I wanted him to help me, and if I needed his help. As a result, the current situation became even more troublesome.
"Okay, thank you very much for helping me out just now." I adjusted my breathing and said in a low voice, "but let's part ways here. My family affairs have nothing to do with you."
