Chapter Forty-six: Coincidence or Unexpected Event

  Take the laptop out of the desk in the room, apart from occasionally liking to restrict his freedom, there are no other restrictions, money can never be spent, computers have what they should have, and the network is not cut off.

  Can't help but say that it's actually not bad, looking at this luxurious residence, how many of those that are put up for sale can be sold under such good conditions? He is actually very happy with his own value being quite high.

  Shaoyi Ah Q thought, while logging onto QQ for the first time in several months. As soon as he logged on, the message box started ringing with a soul-stirring sound.

  Most of them are messages from various groups, especially high school class groups. At a glance, they are all talking about their current school situation and local customs.

  There were also many messages mentioning him, saying where he went and so on. Few people replied, thinking about it too, when I first chose this school, I didn't tell anyone, just thinking about it, suddenly another new message popped up.

  "Shao Qi, are you feeling better? When are you coming back to school? By the way, Ren Sheng is participating in the second batch of supplementary enrollment and it's said that he's also coming to our school." The initiator of the message was his high school class monitor, Cheng Mian, who was now his roommate.

  Sha Qi's eyes flickered slightly, and her long fingers flew quickly across the keyboard: "He's here too?"

  "Yes, he told me that he sent you a QQ message, how come you haven't seen it yet?"

  "Really? Let me take a look." The mouse moved in the blinking message bar, and after flipping through for a long time, I finally saw a solitary message from a gray avatar's mobile QQ.

  "Shao Qi, I've been admitted! I checked your admission information and it turns out we're in the same school, still in the sports department."

  "Shao Qi, did you go to college? How are you now?"

  "Where are you?"

  ……….

  Apart from the first sentence, all the following sentences are hesitant questions, which can be imagined to reflect the complex emotions in the owner's heart, with contradictions, caution and full of concern.

  The computer screen, with a faint blue glow, had a profound and mysterious depth similar to the ocean, and also had an icy coldness that pierced through, as if being stimulated by the light from the screen, Shao Qi suddenly became much more alert.

  He didn't look at the other messages below anymore, smiled slightly and replied on the screen: "I know, great!"

  Brief words, already exhausted the rhetoric, also is the best answer. Looking at the message sent by Cheng Ming again, Shao Qi rubbed his forehead and replied briefly: "Still uncomfortable, I'll take a nap."

  Forgive him, he really doesn't have the mood now and doesn't want to bother with anyone.

  He said, without waiting for a response from the other party, he went offline on QQ. In fact, he didn't even shut down his computer, but instead logged onto the web to browse current events and social news. He still had to stay connected with society after all, and couldn't truly isolate himself.

  Online news is still dominated by familiar messages, current events where Japan claims the territory of a neighboring country as its own, the United States interferes in the internal affairs of which country, gunfire breaks out in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and other regions, and our country has developed some new technology...

  In the society section, a principal of a certain university wore animal-print outerwear and sexually assaulted students; on a bus in a certain city, an elderly person got into a fight with a girl who didn't give up her seat to him, causing the visibly pregnant girl to have a miscarriage...

  Social ugliness is everywhere, even if the ruling class deliberately whitewashes it, but only covers up one corner of the iceberg.

  He was getting tired of reading these two versions, so he took a look at the entertainment section. Sha Qi's eyebrows paused for a moment on an unremarkable piece of news that seemed to carry a cold intent, like the edge of a knife, and it pierced his eyes, leaving him stunned.

  "On the way back from the emperor's funeral, suspected of meeting relatives to share family joy", a striking news headline read, accompanied by several blurry photos. Even though they were blurry, Shao Qi still saw them clearly.

  It's roughly saying that after a certain celebrity achieved success and fame, they finally started to take the warm and fuzzy route, bringing their long unknown relatives to their side.

  But that so-called heavenly queen was none other than Yang Lei. The title had a weak and withered figure, almost like a shadow, which he couldn't ignore.

  That familiar gaunt face, that endearing familiarity and closeness, even if it was just a profile, he wouldn't be able to miss it, that was Lin Ye, his mother.

  He was certain because he was her son.

  Thanks to the speech at Bayna High School, before Yang Lei came, the principal had already loudly proclaimed this orphaned heavenly superstar on Monday's regular flag-raising ceremony. He knew that Yang Lei was an orphan, and confirmed that it was Lin Ye, but as his child, it was a kind of instinct inside him.

  It's true: after searching everywhere and exhausting all efforts, what you're looking for comes easily and effortlessly.

  As if a whirlwind, Shao Qi found his phone with lightning speed.

  Suddenly,

  It was as if a bolt of lightning had suddenly appeared, and Shao Qi instantly felt like a eggplant that had been struck by frost.

  He remembered that although he didn't throw away the business card Yang Lei had forced on him at first, he had left it in a drawer back home.

  At first, I left with a flourish, without even having time to wave goodbye, and now I am already far away, thousands of miles from home.

  But now, as it should be, Mother should be in Shao Hua's hands, but now she is actually with Yang Lei.

  Is it a coincidence?

  Was Yang Lei originally in cahoots with Shao Hua?

  Shao Qi was more willing to believe the latter, he believed that everything at first was almost premeditated. He suddenly felt very cold, so cold that his whole body stiffened, and even the hand holding the phone had become powerless, letting it fall naturally under the force of gravity.

  However, Shao Qi had already gone through too many ups and downs to be a carefree young man anymore. After some thought, he also came to understand that even if he couldn't meet his mother in person, at least he now knew she was safe.

  Knowing the direction, there will always be a time to reach the goal, no need to rush.

  Anyway, heaven finally stopped being stingy and gave him a bit of warmth. The gloomy mood that had been lingering for days also got a sudden clearing.

  Maybe it's really because he's opened up, and his life from now on is suddenly calm and peaceful without any waves.

  Shao Qi didn't go to find Shao Hua this time. After a few days of university life, he was still not used to the completely different lifestyle from high school. For him, the temptation of school was no longer as mysterious as it used to be. He now almost regarded it as a simple and pure haven far away from darkness.

  Nothing can affect his desire to have a good rest now.
