Chapter 56: It’s Me, Ye Sui; Look At Me! (1)
The next morning, before Chen Shu could leave the house, Ye Sui had already gone to work . He received a phone call and heard a woman’s guilty voice on the other side . “Chen Shu, it’s me . ”
Chen Shu’s mood sank . Even though the person had not contacted him for a long time, he still recognized the voice after so many years .
The caller was his mother, who had been away for many years .
Chen Shu lowered his voice, a hint of coldness merging in it . “What’s the matter?”
Right at that moment, Ye Sui had returned home to get something: her phone, which she dropped, and was about to leave . But then, she glanced casually and noticed Chen Shu’s room’s door was open .
Wanting to say goodbye to Chen Shu, she walked to the front of his room . As the door was slightly ajar, she heard his indifferent voice coming from inside . “Why are you calling now that you’ve left?”
Ye Sui looked over as Chen Shu added, “Since the day you left, you were no longer my mother . ”
With this sentence, Chen Shu hung up the phone .
This was the first time that Ye Sui had seen Chen Shu’s expression so indifferent . He was holding his cell phone, his jaw was stiff, and his body was taut . It seemed that he was not used to talking to his mother .
The book mentioned that Chen Shu and his mother had a bad relationship . When Chen Shu was a teenager, she left home and never came back .
Ye Sui watched Chen Shu for a while and knew that this was his private affair . Right now, he needed silence and some alone time . Therefore, she left quietly .

Chen Shu hung up the phone and sat there, not noticing the existence of Ye Sui .
His mother left home when he was very young . The lack of maternal love all year round and the bad memories of childhood, though a long time had passed, still followed him, just like a shadow .
Those unhappy memories all turned into hidden scars, quietly engraved in his bones . Although painful to recall, he still clearly remembered them .
Chen Shu sat there in silence, seemingly enshrouded in shadows .
After Ye Sui finished her work, she went home, took a shower, sat on the sofa, and watched TV . Yet, she suddenly felt lonely . Looking around, Chen Shu still was not back .

Although Chen Shu didn’t say much, the relationship between them was much better than before . At night, they would usually chat on the sofa .
Chen Shu was not at home now, so she felt lonely and cheerless .
Ye Sui looked at the time . It was 8:30 p . m . now, half-an-hour past Chen Shu’s usual time to return every day .
One day before, Chen Shu also came home very late, and that night, he sleepwalked . In addition, Ye Sui had heard his conversation with his mother at noon . As a result, she was worried .
Ye Sui watched TV absent-mindedly, her mind thinking about Chen Shu . She looked back from time to time and glanced at the clock on the wall . As seconds ticked by, he still had not returned home .
After a while, the door finally opened . When Ye Sui saw Chen Shu coming back, she felt relieved . He changed his shoes with his head down, making it difficult for her to see his expression .

Chen Shu came in and was about to go straight to his room; however, suddenly, Ye Sui tentatively asked, “Chen Shu, when will you sleep tonight?”
Chen Shu didn’t look at Ye Sui and uttered in a very low voice, “I’ll sleep soon . ”
Ye Sui was not at ease and said, “If you can’t sleep, you can have a cup of hot milk before going to bed . ”
Chen Shu just hummed and turned back to his room . Ye Sui looked at his lonely back and frowned, hoping that he could have a good night’s sleep .
It was late at night, and the moon also hid behind the clouds . The surrounding area was filled with tranquility as Ye Sui fell asleep . But then, a sound was suddenly heard .
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
