THE LIGHT OF HIS WORLD - Chapter 35
Lin Jia Xi: “Little White, who is the smartest person in the world?”
Little White: “Of course it’s the invincible brother Jane Bai!”
Lin Jia Xi: “Then who does brother Jian Bai like the most?”
Little White: “It’s you! It’s you~ It’s you! It’s you, our little cutie, Lin Jia Xi!”
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you want to do.
Lin Jia Xi: “Do you know what Jane Bai is doing right now?”
The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot of people to do this.
What?
This sentence, she has never taught Little White.
Lin Jia Xi: “Why do you say that?”
Little White: “Brother Jianbai told me.”
At this point, Lin Jia Xi suddenly realized that Xiao Xiao Bai’s settings might be hiding some of Jane Bai’s little designs.
……
“Squeak… Zee…”
The interface has not yet popped up, the phone vibrated first, she a carp to do up!
It was an unfamiliar number?!
“Hello.” She picked up immediately.
“Hello, is this Lin Jia Xi.” A mature woman’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
“I am, may I ask who you are?”
“I’m Jane Bai’s mother.”
She suddenly froze, Jane Bai’s mother?
Panicked for a moment, she suddenly didn’t know what to say.
“Classmate Lin, are you there?” The woman asked.
Covering the microphone, she took a deep breath and said politely: “….. Sorry auntie, I thought it was Jane Bai …. Hello, I’m his… Classmate.”
Jane’s mother’s voice was gentle and didn’t mind too much saying, “It’s okay.”
“Auntie, are you calling about something, or is there something wrong with Jane Bai?” Lin Jia Xi asked nervously.
“There’s nothing wrong with Jane Bai you don’t have to worry, it’s me, I want to ask you if you have time tomorrow afternoon, I want to meet with you to talk.”
Lin Jia Xi didn’t expect her to ask for a meeting, her heart hesitated but she knew she couldn’t refuse, and after a moment of silence said, “Yes, auntie.”
“Well then, I remember there is a coffee shop near your school, can we make an appointment there?”
“Okay.”
When she hung up the phone, she was in a state of flux.
Was Jane Bai’s mother looking for her because she had found out they were together? What did she want to talk to me about? A breakup?
Because of a phone call, her thoughts were so troubled that she lost sleep. Moreover, she did not receive a good night message from Jane Bai until very late.
…….
The next afternoon, with all the speculations, doubts and apprehensions, she came to the agreed cafe.
She arrived half an hour early and sat in the cafe, her heart thumping. She kept drinking water to relieve her nervousness, and couldn’t help but think about it. She wondered how Jane Bai’s mother knew her, or if Jane Bai had confessed, or maybe she had found out from the clues herself.
“Welcome.” The waiter welcomed politely.
At this time of day and with very few people in the cafe, the waitress’s voice caught her attention. She looked toward the door as a tall lady walked into the store.
Intuition told her that it was Jane Bai’s mother.
She was thinking about how to greet, the lady happened to look around and saw Lin Jia Xi, and without waiting for any reaction from Lin Jia Xi, she came towards the direction she was sitting.
The closer you get, the more Lin Jia Xi feels that she has a few similarities with Jane Bai, her silhouette is considered harsher among women, and there are a few different Britishness between her eyebrows, which does not look good to touch.
Instantly, Lin Jia Xi heart more bottomless, panic to stand up, asked: “Hello, please you are Jane Bai…”
The lady nodded and said, “Yes, I am Jane Bai’s mother, my surname is Su, you can call me Auntie Su.”
“Well …. Hello Auntie Su.” She responded with some formality.
Auntie Su seemed to see her uneasiness, and with a little smile on her face, she said, “I’ve seen your picture on Jane Bai’s phone.”
“On Jane Bai’s phone…” She remembered his phone wallpaper, and her heart thumped, Auntie Su really knew about it.
Auntie Su didn’t beat around the bush and said straight: “That’s why I’m looking for you today.”
“Remember the time he went to Beijing for the competition final?” She suddenly mentioned.
Lin Jia Xi froze, and then reacted that it was the time when her grandmother was seriously ill.
Seeing that she recalled, Auntie Su continued, “That was just when I was also in Beijing, did I have time to go see him once. As a result, very late that night, he suddenly asked me to help him buy a ticket back to Xilin, you know that is the first time he begged me since he can remember, he has always had a grudge against me and his father in his heart, and has never taken the initiative to ask for anything ….”
The first time I saw the company, I asked him if he wanted to give up because the game tomorrow was so important. He was silent for a while before answering me that there were many opportunities for him, and he didn’t care less about this one, but some company, missed can never be made up.”
Lin Jia Xi squeezed her palm, she did not know that when Jane Bai rushed back late at night, there was this layer of story.
She stirred her coffee, “When he said that, he was poking me in the heart, and I bought him a ticket to come back. At the time I didn’t know what or who made him care so much, and only recently learned that it was you right Jia Xi.”
“I’m sorry, Auntie Su at that time…” Lin Jia Xi wanted to explain something, but felt powerless to explain, she said the truth.
“No need to apologize child, I don’t blame you, at least in the end he went back to Beijing, it was you who made him go back.” She was certain.
Lin Jia Xi looked at her, still not understanding what Auntie Su really wanted to say, or the real purpose of looking for her. At first she guessed that Jane Bai’s mother would probably ask them to break up in cold words. But Auntie Su didn’t, instead she kept telling her very gently about the other side of the story she was going through.
“Auntie Su …. So what do you want to talk to me about today?” She mustered up the courage to ask.
Auntie Su sighed, seemingly a bit hopeless, “Then I’ll be straightforward child, just a short while ago Jane Bai told me that he was giving up his admission to MIT and staying in the country.”
“Ding.” Lin Jia Xi’s hand shook, the spoon collided with the wall of the cup, spilling a few drops of coffee.
Her eyes widened in disbelief, “What… Why did he…”
The words have not finished, she herself first lost her voice.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re getting into.
Su mother gazed at the half-grown girl in front of her and her thoughts went back to that day.
The first thing that Su mother knew was that Jane Bai had received her entrance qualification, and she thought that there must be a lot of things to start preparing for when the time came, so she took a rare leave of absence from her superior and went back to Xi Lin.
On Saturday, she received his two mothers and sons to go out for a meal, she always knew she owed her son a lot, so it was not easy to eat together and asked him about his recent situation.
The two of them have been in the same boat for a long time.
Seeing that both of them had almost finished eating, Su’s mother was ready to invite the waiter to buy the bill, when Jane Bai suddenly stopped her and said, “Wait a minute.”
“Hmm?” Su’s mother looked at him suspiciously, “Haven’t you had enough?”
He shook his head, “I have something I want to say to you.”
Jane Bai’s initiative made Su’s mother a little happy, just now throughout the dinner table, it had been Su’s mother asking him to answer, now hearing her son’s initiative to talk to her about things, she immediately said, “Good, you say.”
“I’m not going abroad, I’m giving up my admission to MIT.”
Su mother’s chopsticks fell on the table, she frowned and looked at her son in shock, “What did you say?!”
“Why, give me a reason.” She was instantly on fire.
Jian Bai just looked at her and didn’t answer, as if he was just informing her.
Taking a deep breath, Su’s mother suppressed her irritation and knew that this was not the right occasion, “Let’s talk about it at home.”
The fact that he really said it means that he is serious. Su’s mother couldn’t imagine why, this was obviously his dream all along, and now that the dust had settled, he had suddenly changed his mind.
Back home, she threw her handbag on the sofa and sat herself down, “Say, what do you mean by what you just said.”
Jane Bai stood by the couch, not moving, “Just literally.”
“I want a reason.” The lights in the living room were bright, Su’s mother looked up at Jane Bai’s upright posture and was shocked to realize that her son had grown so big, she had really missed a lot.
Jane Bai did not look at her, he casually stared at the glass on the table and said, “No reason, just don’t want to.”
“And ….” He pursed his lips and frowned as if hesitating about something, but said it anyway, “Who are you to control me.”
Those words were a fuse that crackled and exploded in the living room.
“Jane Bai!” Su mother had never spoken to him in such a harsh tone, she was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, with nowhere to vent the stinging pain in her heart.
The air was frozen.
After a long time, Su’s mother whispered with a sandpaper voice, “Do you know… Do you know what you are talking about, are you not chilling my heart like this?”
“Chill your heart?” Jane Bai lowered her head with a self-deprecating smile, her hand clenched to death, squeezing out a sentence.
“You have never been involved in my growth, and who are you to interfere with my decisions.”
Su mother: “…….”
She did not even have the position to refute a word, half a sound, moved her lips and said, “You’re tired go rest, do not go out these days.”
A disguised house arrest.
Jane Bai heard her meaning, not in the mood to argue with her again, lifted his feet and went back to his room.
……
In Su’s mother’s opinion, no one can change their decision for no reason, and it is such a major decision, to solve this matter, we must find the root cause.
As it happens, one day at noon, the two mothers and sons finished eating relatively speechlessly, Jane Bai cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Su mother sat at the table to deal with some official business.
She felt something light up next to her – it was Jane Bai’s cell phone message. It was never her style to look through other people’s privacy, but telling her directly was a sure way to find something.
She glanced toward the kitchen, where Jane Bai was finishing brushing with her back to her. She took the phone and a message popped up on the screen.
[Baby: Busy?]
A note alone shows the relationship between the messenger and Jane Bai.
Su’s mother slid the screen up and tried to tap in to see it, but the phone had a fingerprint lock. She slid that message off left and the full lock screen wallpaper was revealed.
— a photo of Jane Bai with another girl.
The photo, after that things are simple, she a phone call and someone sent her all the information about Lin Jia Xi everything.
Then there was the meeting today.
The girl has come back from the shock and said intermittently: “He… It shouldn’t be like this …. It’s not worth it… For my sake, it’s not worth it.”
Su mother reached her right hand over and covered the girl’s somewhat chilled fingertips, “As a parent, even a substandard one, I hope he can make the best choice and not let himself regret it.”
“At that time the first time you persuaded him back to Beijing, he was willing to listen to you, I know you must be a good child who understands the importance of proportion and knows what is important. So, this time I also hope you can help your aunt.”
“You are still young and immature in your ability to think about things. There are too many variables in the future, and I don’t want you to regret it later and even blame each other for it. You should know that only if you are strong and good enough, you will have enough options to take the future into your own hands.”
In the future …. Yes, how many variables there will be in the future, and how will they know now… And how can they be sure that they will not regret and resent because of the choices they make today.
“I… I understand Auntie Sue ….”
“Good boy, I know you will understand,” Aunt Su looked at her tenderly, “I hope, a better you and a better him, can meet in a better future. If there is that time, auntie will bless you with all her heart.”
Auntie Su’s voice was soft, but her words hit her heart hard.
Before leaving, Auntie Su thanked her again and politely said that Jane Bai would not easily change her decision because of mere lobbying.
She knew what she meant.
Also know, what to do.
