DCBS: Chapter 24 Part 1

Luo Xiuyun almost thought she was hallucinating.

Facing this empty room, she involuntarily called out, “…Qingyuan?”

Of course, no one responded.

The uneasy voice fell alone into the cold air.

An inexplicable panic surged up.

Luo Xiuyun walked around the room like a headless fly. Then she quickly took out her phone from her pocket, wanting to call Pei Qingyuan and ask him where he had gone for no reason.

She was just about to call the number when her eyes swept over a spot that was slightly white in the moonlight.

Under the old-fashioned lamp that had been used for over a decade, there was a note with some writing on it. It was the only thing in the room that was different from the past and was thin and inconspicuous.

Luo Xiuyun’s body stiffened as she realized something.

This wasn’t an inexplicable disappearance.

She froze for a few seconds. Then she gritted her teeth, stepped forward, picked up the paper and turned on the lamp.

The handwriting on the paper was beautiful. It was a type of beautiful and upright font that every parent would love.

This seemed to be the first time that she had looked at her son’s handwriting so seriously.

There wasn’t much content. Only a few clear lines.

[Today, I am an adult and can live independently. So I moved out.]

[I will support myself. You don’t have to put any extra energy on me.]

The last two lines were spaced further apart and the handwriting appeared hesitant, as if it was added after a long thought.

[I don’t miss the life there and I don’t dislike the days here. I just want a room that really belongs to me.]

[Now it is no longer needed.]

Luo Xiuyun read it many times. She was momentarily speechless and her eyes were dazed.

The desk lamp in front of her cast a warm yellow light. The style was old but it had always been well preserved, except for the many patterns drawn with watercolor brushes on the base.

There was a big smiley face among the bright and clumsy lines, which were the childish drawings of another child. They smiled innocently at her after such a long time.

But this child had grown up now and no longer smiled like this. At the grand party on the day of adulthood, his smile was always soft and gentle. There was a stable and unchanging elegant arc.

It was at this moment that Luo Xiuyun realized extremely clearly that Pei Yan was getting further and further away from her.

She was no longer the mother Pei Yan spoke of but ‘ Auntie.’

After all, he wasn’t her biological child.

Therefore, once Luo Xiuyun went upstairs with the not very rich dishes and cake that wasn’t serious enough, she thought that she should care more about her son in the future. After all, they would be a mother and son who depended on each other in the future.

She might’ve come back later than she expected but she didn’t think to call her son halfway. Perhaps it was because she thought he would be waiting at home.

After all, he needed his mother to celebrate his birthday.

However, Pei Qingyuan didn’t wait in vain from day to night in the deserted room as she expected.
