Chapter 73: Promise

"What does it have to do with me?"

[I... found your mother here.]

"..."

[It doesn't matter if you don't forgive me, but I think you might want to meet your mother. She has promised me to go back to China. If you are free, then... why don't we meet?]

"..."

Ren Yue seemed to have lost all his voice in an instant, and he didn't know what he answered. Before he knew it, he had hung up the phone. Ren Yue stood alone in the teaching building, and his mind echoed the words just now over and over again.

His mother was coming back.

Ren Yue was not a child of mother complex, but he's just an ordinary high school student, an ordinary child. In this way, even though his personality was a little distorted and his experiences were a little unusual, he was looking for and longing for family just like any other child.

In his memory, his mother was a very gentle woman, who spoke softly, especially elegant and intellectual, like an ancient lady. It's just that such a mother suddenly ran away from home without saying a word when he was young. His mother's departure from home was a mystery that Ren Yue could not solve, no matter how much he thought about it.

And now, mom was coming back.

Because of such a sudden question, Ren Yue was so lost in thought that when he had dinner with Mr. Bai, he kept a habitual daze. Mr. Bai called Ren Yue a few times, and after seeing that he finally looked at him, he said, "Do you have anything on your mind?"

Ren Yue's attention quickly fell on Mr. Bai, and he made a mockery of Mr. Bai's words subconsciously, "You know there is something on my mind, and you ask so directly?"

"Because I thought you probably wouldn't like my testing." Mr. Bai replied, "And I don't want to pry into your mouth. As your closest person, I think you can share your worries and troubles with me. Similarly, if it's something you can't say out loud, then I won't force you."

Ren Yue became more curious. In his opinion, Mr. Bai was not such a "well-behaved and obedient" person. Now that he said he wouldn't ask questions, he would definitely ask his men to investigate in the next second.

"Of course, I won't let my subordinates investigate you." As if Mr. Bai really had the ability to read minds, he easily said what was bothering Ren Yue.

"..."

"Your information has been set as top secret." Mr. Bai looked at Ren Yue seriously, the tenderness in his eyes was clearly visible. He held Ren Yue's hand and promised, "From now on, no one can find out your information."

Ren Yue opened his mouth, but nothing came out. He wanted to withdraw his hand, but found that Mr. Bai had been holding his hand tightly.

Ren Yue looked up and found that Mr. Bai's black eyes were staring at him without blinking, and his deep eyes were full of obvious emotions. When Ren Yue touched such a familiar emotion, he subconsciously thought that he would be angry and disgusted, but he didn't get such emotion after waiting for a long time.

He looked around blankly for a moment, and suddenly seemed to have lost his way... But the next second when Mr. Bai leaned over, Ren Yue came to his senses. He turned his face away lightly and said, "You think you are making a movie."

Mr. Bai slightly regrettably sat back to the original position, and he asked back, "Making a movie?"

Ren Yue was just trying to make excuses just now. But now that he was asked back, he didn't know what to answer. However, the more chaotic it was, the more Ren Yue began to calm down. In a blink of an eye, he had been able to ignore his increasingly hot ears, and then retorted, "What's the point of you talking about this now?"

Mr. Bai was not frightened by Ren Yue's domineering questioning. He calmly said, "I promise to give you a completely free environment. Whatever you do and want to do is your freedom."

Although Mr. Bai's words seemed great, Ren Yue couldn't keep up with Mr. Bai's leaping thinking at all. He looked at Mr. Bai in an ignorant way, and his eyes were full of confusion. Finally, he said frankly, "What are you talking about?"

Mr. Bai: "..."

Facing Ren Yue, who doesn't understand the amorous feelings, Mr. Bai could only hit the ball straight, "I'm talking about terms of endearment to you."

Ren Yue was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Terms of endearment?"

"I sealed your file and set your personal information as the top secret, which means..." Mr. Bai said slowly, "I solemnly promise you that in this society ruled by law, you will never be bound by the rules. No matter what you do, no one has the right to question your past, write your present, or predict your future. I promise you freedom. This is the eighteen-year-old gift I want to give you."

"..."

Ren Yue was silent for three minutes. Then he said, "Although I am very touched, can you tell me what connection these words have with my mind?"

Mr. Bai was suspiciously silent.

Ren Yue continued to ask, "So what does all this mean?"

Mr. Bai looked at such an aggressive Ren Yue. He sighed for a moment, and then he reached out his hands and took Ren Yue into his arms. Mr. Bai rubbed his chin against Ren Yue's head. He let Ren Yue completely hide himself in his arms, and then said with a little frustration, "I couldn't think of a way to divert your attention immediately, so I thought I'd give you a gift to cheer you up. And all I can think of so far is the present I've been preparing for your eighteenth birthday."

"I want you to be happy."
