Chapter 1616: Heaven (3)
"Auntie, let me help..." Miss Hei walked over. Ze Ran's mother chuckled. "You're a guest. Go and rest. I can do it alone."
Miss Hei stood there a bit uneasily. This was the first time she came into contact with a human being, the first time she had such a direct conversation with a human being, and the first time... she faced the mother of the man she liked. Seeing Miss Hei's confused expression, Ze Ran's mother chuckled. "Then... You can give me a hand."
Miss Hei smiled brightly, but she exerted her strength and crushed the bowl in her hand into pieces! Looking at the residue and debris on the ground, Miss Hei was stunned. This was the difference between humans and Magic Beasts... This was the difference in the power of different races! No matter how careful she was, even if she didn't mean to, she would still inadvertently cause damage!
Her amber eyes glittered. Ze Ran's mother quickly walked over. "I'll take care of it! Don't hurt yourself!"
Miss Hei was surprised. In the end, she lowered her head silently. Ze Ran's mother cleaned up the pieces on the ground and looked up with a smile. "Aren't you here to help?"
Miss Hei looked up. Ze Ran's mother smiled warmly. Tears welled up in Miss Hei's eyes and she nodded fiercely. In the small kitchen, gentle halos shone down and voices came from inside. "Ze Ran was so obedient when he was young. I remember when he was young..."
Ze Ran's mother kept talking. Miss Hei listened quietly with a smile. Just listening to the stories about him made her feel so satisfied.
"That kid didn't have many friends. He didn't really have a smile until the Young Lady of the Yun family appeared."
Yun Feng. Miss Hei's heart ached fiercely. "Aunt... Does Ze Ran like that Young Lady of the Yun family very much?"
Ze Ran's mother chuckled and then sighed. "As a mother, how would I not know what my son is thinking? We all know very well who that kid was working so hard for. Ze Ran knows the gap between him and the Young Lady of the Yun family. He's always been chasing after her silently. As a mother, my heart aches just thinking about it."
Miss Hei lowered her eyes. There was an indescribable pain in her heart. Had he been chasing her? He knew that he couldn't catch up with her, but he kept chasing her so that she could look back at him? Ze Ran, it turned out that you liked her so much.
"Miss Hei, you and Ze Ran are..."
Miss Hei quickly shook her head. "Ze Ran and I... are friends!"
Ze Ran's mother pursed her lips and didn't say anything. Miss Hei was silent for a while before she said again, "Auntie, if... If the Young Lady of the Yun family has someone she loves, what will Ze Ran do?"
"What else can that kid do? He's been chasing her for so long. How can he give up so easily?"
Miss Hei tasted a trace of bitterness. She touched her waist and abdomen with her hand and accidentally glanced at the ground. Under the dim yellow light, a huge figure was cast on the ground. Compared to the human shadow on the side, there was a huge difference!
Miss Hei's heart trembled and she quickly took a few steps back. She wanted to hide her huge shadow in the darkness, but the shadow was too huge to hide!
"What's wrong?" Ze Ran's mother turned around. Miss Hei said in panic, "Auntie, I... I'll go back first..." She pushed the door open and ran out in panic. Ze Ran's mother looked at the ground in confusion, then shook her head helplessly and continued working.
Was this the difference? Miss Hei looked at the moon in the sky and her huge shadow was faintly discernible in the darkness. There was an insurmountable gap between humans and Magic Beasts! Even if she could give up everything about Magic Beasts, how would she be accepted by the human world as a Magic Beast?
Ze Ran fell asleep in a daze and his consciousness was blurry. Ha, he really couldn't stand the alcohol. He had only drunk a few glasses and he was already drunk? With a faint smile, Ze Ran wanted to raise his hand and rub his aching head, but his limbs were soft and he couldn't exert any strength at all.
Fine, just let it be. There was nothing wrong with getting drunk. His dizzy head was empty just like that. For a moment, Ze Ran really wanted to go back to the days when he first met Yun Feng in Chunfeng Town. That was the most beautiful time of his life.
It would be great if he could go back... If he could go back, he would definitely be a bit braver. It didn't matter even if she rejected him. He would have a chance to express the real feelings in his heart and let her know that his heart had been lost to her many years ago.
"Yun Feng, I like you..." It sounded like he was mumbling, but also like he was shouting endlessly. Ze Ran closed his eyes tightly. For the first time, he said the emotions hidden deep in his heart directly. They were so direct and painful.
I like you. I like you. All these years, there is only this sentence in his heart, but I can't let you know. It's completely buried in my heart.
"Pa." There was a soft sound, as if something cold landed on his face. Ze Ran was slightly drunk and fell asleep just like that. A crystal clear tear rolled down his cheek silently.
After staying in the Ze family for only three days, Ze Ran left with Miss Hei. Miss Hei seemed to be getting closer to the due date. She told Ze Ran to take her to a quiet place. Just ignore her. She could deal with everything. Magic Beasts were different from humans.
Ze Ran was half suspicious and half convinced. He also knew that Magic Beasts were indeed a bit different from humans. The pregnancy alone was too different. Humans were pregnant for ten months, but Miss Hei was pregnant for a few years. It was finally the eve of childbirth. After all, childbirth wasn't anything else. Even if Miss Hei was a Magic Beast, Ze Ran was still very worried. As the due date approached, Ze Ran was a bit restless. Miss Hei only told him with a smile that he didn't have to worry about anything.
The two of them returned to the Foggy Forest again. Ze Ran built a simple wooden house. A human midwife couldn't help Miss Hei. Miss Hei really had to do everything herself. Her abdomen, which wasn't obvious at first, had expanded by leaps and bounds in recent days. Ze Ran was dumbfounded when he saw this. Miss Hei smiled and said that this was very normal.
There were only seven days until the birth. Ze Ran carried everything on his shoulders and tried his best to satisfy Miss Hei's requests.
"Ze Ran, I want to eat Auntie's dish she made the other day..."
"Alright, I'll make it for you."
"Ze Ran, I want to eat the fruit called XX that you humans eat..."
"Alright, I'll get it for you."
"Ze Ran, my back is a bit sore..."
"Turn around. I'll massage it for you."
