Skull Monster 027

  Thank you to [angel♀devil] for the 5888 reward, thank you to [临死前x_x] for the 588 reward, and thank you to [日下部麻呂] for the 588 reward. The color will definitely be used to repay with even better and more rigorous words.

  The heart remains still while the thoughts move.

  Ye Cai expressionlessly started buttoning up again and then put on her school uniform jacket, grabbed her backpack and headed towards the door.

  He Xiaoyun, who had heard the footsteps, suddenly froze in her search of the closet and turned around to taunt: "Where are you going? You pervert, where are you off to?"

  Ye Cai's footsteps paused, she lowered her head, and turned around with a cold gaze: "What does my perversion have to do with you?"

  Her mother's expression changed, and when she came to her senses, she found that Ye Cai had already walked out of the room. She hastily chased after him, scolding loudly: "Stop right there!"

  Dragged out of the house, without saying a word, Ye Cai's body was twisted around and slapped with a loud "slap".

  Ye Cai couldn't help but take a step back, then slightly lowered his head, his expression dark and gloomy.

  Her mother glared at her with wide eyes, "How dare you speak like that? You're talking to your mom like this?"

  Ye Cai Dui remained silent on the spot, still with a gloomy expression, as if her heart was closed.

  Her mother impatiently said: "Where is the medicine? Go get it yourself."

  Leaves rustle without disturbing his heart.

  Her mother sneered: "Oh, you're opposing me today, huh?"

  Ye Cai remained unmoved.

  "Alright, you've grown wings and I can no longer control you..." Her mother suppressed her anger, nodded slightly, turned around, and took out her phone to make a call.

  Ye Cai's heart skipped a beat, and she saw her mother's anxious face as she was dialing the phone. She quickly rushed forward to grab it: "Don't, don't call, don't call!"

  Her mother impatiently took a few steps back, her face cold as she answered the phone, "Hello, it's me."

  Dong.

  Ye Cai suddenly knelt down, raised her face and cried out: "Mom..."

  Her mother's expression hesitated, her eyes welled up with tears, she pursed her lips and hummed twice as if on the verge of crying.

  A thick, hoarse voice came from the phone by her ear - "Hello? Hello? What's wrong, little Yun? Say something."

  Her mother's eyes were red and she gritted her teeth, her lips moving as if to say something.

  Knock knock knock...

  Ye Cai suddenly knelt down and quickly moved over, looking up with a face full of grievance and entreaty, hugging her mother's legs and shaking them constantly, saying: "Don't, don't say it, mom, don't say it."

  She turned her face away, covering her mouth with the back of her hand, sobbing incoherently.

  Her pupils constricted in despair, Ye Cai Fa frantically shook her mother's leg and repeatedly muttered: "Mom, listen to me explain, listen to me explain, listen to me explain..."

  Her mother suddenly sat down with a thud, her whole body trembling, the phone slipping from her hand as she covered her face and wailed like a child.

  Ye Cai rushed out like a madman, picked up the phone from the floor, and said shakily into her ear: "Nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong, there's nothing at all..."

  She hung up the phone, then was stunned for a moment before turning off her cell phone. Only then did she smile smugly and turn to look at her mother who was sitting on the floor wailing loudly. She stood up with a sweet smile and said: "Mom, I'm going to school."

  She nodded to herself and slowly turned around, adjusted the shoulder strap of her bag that had slipped down to her elbow, and walked away quietly.

  "You, you just left like this, is that right!!!"

  A desperate and trembling cry echoed from behind, heart-wrenching.

  Ye Cai's footsteps came to an abrupt halt, and then her entire body began to tremble violently. She suddenly spun around and kicked the wall with a loud thud, before launching into a frenzied scratching of her head and stomping of her feet, like a mad dog having a seizure. The simple sling bag couldn't withstand this crazed momentum and slid down to her elbow once again. In the end, she simply snatched it off and slammed it to the ground, her face twisted in a grotesque grimace as she repeatedly trampled on it with her feet.

  She went mad, her mother cried loudly, seven or eight steps apart, each going their own way.

  After a long while, it seemed to have subsided somewhat. Her mother suddenly crawled up a few steps and rushed over, embracing Ye Cai in an attempt to restrain her frantic self. The two lost their balance due to Ye Cai's momentum and stumbled backwards several steps before falling to the ground.

  Her mother still held on tight, her chin pressed firmly against her forehead, crying and begging: "Don't, don't do this, Xiao Cai, Mom won't get angry with you anymore, Mom knows she was wrong, Mom will listen to your explanation..."

  Ye Cai was stunned in her mother's arms, speechless and numb, opening her mouth wide, then suddenly hugged her mother back tightly and burst into loud sobs.

  She cried, her mother accompanied her in crying, and they cried for a long time. Their throats were almost hoarse before they gradually calmed down with hiccups.

  ……

  She whispered in his arms: "Mom, don't tell anyone, okay? Really, or I'll go crazy."

  Her mother was taken aback, then hugged her even tighter, hastily promising: "I won't tell anyone, I won't tell anyone, Mom promises, absolutely won't tell anyone..."

  She tried to struggle free, her mother's eyes dropped in a fluster, she raised her face and looked up at her old mother, her mother stared blankly at her, the two of them gazed at each other like this, falling into a long silence.

  Her lips moved slightly, her eyes cast down, and she found it hard to speak.

  She suddenly panicked, looked up at her mother with disbelieving eyes, and then struggled to break free.

  Taking advantage of the opportunity, her mother's right hand freely roamed between the two embracing figures, and touched down on Ye Cai's thighs. Instantly, her pupils constricted, and she froze in place.

  She opened her arms from her mother's embrace, hastily stood up, picked up her bag, turned around and suddenly stopped in place.

  "Xiao Cai, how..."

  Her face turned pale and she held her breath.

  "Oh, I see...I see..." Her mother suddenly stood up, grasped her arms and turned her around, gazing at her daughter's flustered face, trying to calm her own expression, and asked softly: "You're a girl now, right? Just like Little Ai..."

  She forced a smile with a sorrowful face, raised her eyes to look at her kind-hearted old mother, and her lips trembled, neither affirming nor denying.

  Her mother smiled and stroked her back of the head, saying in a warm voice: "Silly child, you must be feeling very uncomfortable inside. Don't worry, Mom will definitely keep your secret. But from now on, don't hide anything from me anymore... Mom just wants to see you happy and carefree, that's all..."

  It seemed that she had recalled her daughter's frantic state earlier, and her mother, still shaken, pursed her lips again and sobbed.

  Her face relaxed slightly, she lowered her head and pursed her lips, saying: "Mom, actually I'm fine, as long as no one uses this to threaten me... I can adjust myself."

  Her mother suddenly hugged her again, with her chin on her forehead, swaying back and forth, saying: "Then you also satisfy mom's wish, don't go to school today, stay at home with mom, let mom take a good look at you, okay?"

  She hesitated for a moment, seemingly in doubt, and finally nodded lightly.

  Her mother smiled warmly and gently pulled her shoulders back, creating some distance between them. With a tender smile on her face, she gazed lovingly at her daughter's cheeks.

  After a while, her face turned red, she pursed her lips and turned away.

  Her mother chuckled and gently pushed her forehead, saying: "Go take a bath first, then Mom will accompany you to go out for a walk..."

  "Out?" She exclaimed in surprise, seemingly having a bad premonition.

  Her mother dragged her into the room and walked towards the bathroom, turning back to say: "You, stop thinking about those unpleasant things, go take a bath, Mom will find you some clothes..."

  She couldn't think of a worse place to calm down, so she simply didn't think about it. Instead, she recalled her mother's earlier embarrassing crying fit and burst out laughing. She took off her school uniform and comfortably started taking a bath.

  More than ten minutes later, Ye came out of the bathroom with a towel wiping her wet hair, thinking about finding a nightgown to wear first. Suddenly, her mother walked into the room carrying several clothes.

  The old mother's smile froze as she entered the door, sizing up her daughter's body from head to toe. She couldn't bear to look at her for more than a few seconds, and Ye Caiyan quickly turned around, lowering her head with smoke coming out of her ears.

  Her mother walked quickly with a clothes hanger and an incredible expression, circling around her as she spun in place, annoyed, stretched out her hand and pulled, saying: "Let me see."

  She lowered her head, her neck flushing red, and suddenly she had an idea to use a towel to cover her chest, raised her face, pouted her mouth and looked at her mother with a provocative gaze.

  Her mother looked her up and down, taking in the two rows of ribs, the slender arms and legs as thin as pens, and the prominent pelvis, shaking her head and sighing, "How did you get so skinny? Tsk, like a skeleton...".

  Her face turned red, she snorted and retorted: "It's no wonder you're like that, always making me eat things that don't taste good..."
