[QTC] MBDT Chapter 76

Xiao Zimo stood there stunned, “Mother, you, what did you say?”

He must have heard wrong, otherwise, why would his mother let him sleep in the bed?

Countless times, on a cold night, he saw his mother carrying him back. But whenever he was woken up by the cold wind, there was no warm embrace of his mother. Let alone a gentle bed, the only thing he had was the cold wind that he was accustomed to.

This time, Xiao Zimo opened his dark eyes. He was afraid that if he closed his eyes and then opened them again, this scene would disappear.

Bei Yutang looked at him dumbfounded and said, “What’s wrong? Why don’t you come over?”

Xiao Zimo walked toward the bed and the warmth on his face made his heart tremble slightly.

That warm feeling is so real.

Bei Yutang looked at his dazed look, raised her lips slightly, and gently scratched the tip of his nose with her fingers, “Little fool, come back to your senses.”

Xiao Zimo looked at the teasing smile in his mother’s eyes and his little face was slightly red.

Xiao Zimo hugged the quilt and went to bed. Bei Yutang smelled a strange smell coming from the quilt. The dirty quilt was so dark that the original color could not be seen.

Bei Yutang could not help but have the urge to hold his forehead. The original owner Mu Zhitao was really lazy from the bottom of her bones.

“I don’t want this quilt. Let’s sleep on the same bed.”

“Oh.” Xiao Zimo responded blankly.

When he was lying on the bed, Bei Yutang stretched out and he was so scared that his body became motionless. Bei Yutang looked at his nervous and frightened look and said nothing. She understood that this was his fear of the original owner and that fear could not be eliminated overnight.

Bei Yutang covered him with the quilt and said softly: “It’s very late, go to sleep.”

“Yeah.” Xiao Zimo nodded blankly.

The boy was lying on the bed, under the warm quilt, with his mother lying next to him. It all felt like he was in a dream, which made him feel so unreal.

Xiao Zimo did not dare to move, so he kept sleeping in that position.

He did not dare to move because he was afraid that he would be disliked by his mother and be kicked out of bed by her again.

Xiao Zimo’s body tensed. He glanced at his mother secretly, but he was afraid of being discovered by her, so he turned his head in a panic.

Bei Yutang naturally knew what he was doing, but she did not say anything and just let him go.

After he looked over and over again, it seemed that he was finally sure that he was not in a dream, so he closed his eyes peacefully and fell into a deep sleep.

Bei Yutang listened to his well-proportioned breathing and closed her eyes. But she did not feel sleepy at all and all she could think about was her future life.

Today’s life is precarious. If it cannot be changed, how can she take revenge on Gu Pianran and her men?

She thought a lot, a lot, until the moonlight hung in the middle.

Bei Yutang glanced sideways at Xiao Zimo. Looking at him in his deep sleep, he was still maintaining a stiff body, which showed that his inner world was uneasy, even in his dreams.

She stretched out her hand to tuck the quilt for him. As soon as her hand touched him, his body trembled slightly and he murmured: “Mother, don’t, don’t hit… I was wrong, wrong.”

Bei Yutang raised her head slightly, then turned to his body, and patted him gently. A soft voice sounded in his ears, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. Mother won’t hit you anymore, I won’t hit you in the future.”

Perhaps her voice had an effect, or perhaps the nightmare had passed, and Xiao Zimo gradually regained his composure.
