Chapter 463 I Want to Be a Cultivator!
The injured girl is lying in bed quietly. The air-conditioner is on, giving off cold wind. The air is scented with a fragrance that comes from the incense burner placed at the bedside. The incense burner is given by Xuan Siyu to Gao Ge, which can soothe the nerves. He doesn’t need to use it after all, so he may as well take it out for the girl. Likewise, a vehicle may go broken if it is not used for a long time.
Gao Ge looks over the house. It is merely a bungalow, which is not big and yet very clean. Not even hair can be found on the ground and all the things are placed in order. Beside the bed is a desk, on which there are some famous books home and abroad, including “A Dream in Red Mansions”, “War and Peace”, and so on.
Some of the foreign books are boring to Gao Ge. However, when Gao Ge looks through a book randomly, he finds the good excerpts are marked down by Li Shi’an. Moreover, on the right side of the desk are several notebooks, which are filled with excerpted words and paragraphs as well as some classic sayings.
Li Shi’an’s mother walks to Gao Ge with a cup of tea. She passes the tea to him and then sits on the chair next to him, saying with a smile, “According to my daughter, the words in the books are written by others, but if she marks them down, she can use them in her own writings. I’m not sure about it.”
Gao Ge grins and takes a sip of tea. It tastes a bit bitter.
“You told me before that you were Li Hui’s teacher back in the Cultivation Academy?” The woman asks.
“Yeah.” Gao Ge nods his head, much more at ease now.
After all, he has said what he should say. Now he must face what he should face.
The woman nods slightly, “The people of Cultivation Academy have been here before. I didn’t expect you to come here specially.”
Then the woman asks further, “I have a feeling that you come here, ashamed and uneasy.”
Gao Ge doesn’t respond.
“Is there anything you want to do here this time?”
“Nothing special. I just want to take a look at you.” Gao Ge says.
“You come here at a perfect timing. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do about Shi’an. However, I’m afraid that she cannot stay in the school anymore now.”
Gao Ge suddenly feels a little guilty.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLooking at Gao Ge’s facial expression, the woman seems to have realized what he has in mind.
“Of course, I am not blaming you. After all, you did that for her good. If you didn’t, I wouldn’t know she was bullied by others at school.” The woman says, “I have thought through what you told me before. You think she is talented enough to sign up for the Cultivation Academy, right?”
Gao Ge ponders and says, “If you are not okay with it, she may not go to the Cultivation Academy. If you two want to live in another place or city, and to change school, I can help you. You don’t need to worry about anything.”
The woman shakes her head, “I had better ask Shi’an’s opinion first.”
Gao Ge feels confused and asks, “If you ask Shi’an, I suppose she must want to go to the Cultivation Academy.”
“Why do you think so?” The woman says smilingly, “Even I cannot figure out her mind.”Access v ip
“If you really understood what happened at school today, you wouldn’t ask this question.” Gao Ge says seriously.
The woman hesitates and ruminates. Then she nods and agrees with Gao Ge.
What Li Shi’an did today is completely beyond her expectation.
For a moment she even doubted whether her daughter was possessed.
She was totally a different person back then.
She gives a bitter smile.
“I used to think that Shi’an was a smart and obedient kid who was only dedicated to studying with no interest in anything else. Now I realize I was wrong. I am not a good mom.”
Gao Ge says smilingly, “You’ve done a good job.”
The woman shakes her head and says, “Just like me, I always behave as per others’ wishes. People hope me to be a mother of a hero, who should be highly sensible. However, in fact, I am not that kind of person.” The woman hedges and can’t help turning around to look at Li Shi’an lying in bed. Then she continues to say, “Actually, she is the same type of person as me. People all think that she likes studying. That’s only because she is hoped to like studying and be an ordinary person. It’s because people all wish her to become an ordinary person and not follow the old routine of her brother.”
Speaking of this, the woman’s eyes are quite simple.
Then she starts to rub her eyes with her rough hands.
Meanwhile, a sob comes from the bed.
Gao Ge turns around and feels surprised, “You are awake?”
Li Shi’an knows that she cannot keep pretending anymore now. She has to open her eyes.
The woman hastens to wipe the tears and reluctantly controls her emotion, which is a very difficult thing. Obviously, the woman is not good at this. She wants to smile but her face just looks even more embarrassing than her crying.
“Shi’an, why didn’t you speak since you woke up?” The woman complains.
It is said that children always report only what is good while concealing what is unpleasant. In fact, so is the case with parents.
Parents are unwilling to show their true feelings in front of their children.
In this case, children can have a carefree childhood.
However, can it be true? How can everything always go smoothly?
“Mom...” Li Shi’an stares at her mother and has no idea what to say then.
“Shi’an, do you want to become a cultivator?” The woman looks at Li Shi’an and asks seriously.
Li Shi’an stares at her mother and doesn’t answer at once. Instead, she lowers her head to drop her mother’s gaze.
The woman breathes a sigh of relief.
Although Li Shi’an doesn’t say anything, the woman has understood what she is thinking about.Updates by vi p
If the answer is no, Li Shi’an will say it directly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut she does not dare to respond.
“Do you forget how your brother died?” The woman asks.
She is not emotional.
Evidently, she is not very angry.
Gao Ge is listening quietly only.
Li Shi’an sobs with red eyes, “But I want to be like him...”
The woman and Li Shi’an look at each other in dumbness.
Eventually, Li Shi’an utters first.
“Mom, I still want to become a cultivator.”
The woman smiles with a nod.
“Okay.”
...
Li Shi’an gazes at her mother with staring eyes.
She can’t believe what her mother just said.
However, the woman looks very calm.
The woman is not angry or exasperated at her daughter.
It’s like that Li Shi’an just spoke what the woman wanted to hear.
