236 Youth
The military and war had occupied most of her life.
Therefore, she was very sensitive to some of the things done in the military. Moreover, she could empathize with them. Only then would people be especially sensitive and touched by the things and environment they were familiar with.
Kong Yue had been listening to Su Qing’s expression patiently. Such a scene was almost rare. Her precious Qingqing, who had always been cold and indifferent, would actually tell her so much.
She looked at Su Qing, who was looking at her questioningly, and sighed deeply. She said gently, “I didn’t think that your relationship with Huo Qi wouldn’t develop so quickly. Sigh, things are unpredictable!”
Su Qing couldn’t understand Kong Yue’s words, but she saw that her mother kept sighing. She asked, “Mommy, what are you trying to say?”
Kong Yue squeezed Su Qing’s small hand with a complicated expression, but it was also as gentle as water. “After your birthday in November, you’ll be 18 years old and an adult girl. Logically speaking, Mommy shouldn’t interfere in your matters. It’s your freedom to like whoever you want. Mommy also hopes that you can date those normal and cheerful boys healthily, fall in love, and make friends!”
“First love is always the best thing to happen at your age! However, Qingqing, you’re very special. You’ve suffered so much when you were young. I only hope that you can live an ordinary life in the future without illnesses or disasters. The Huo family, which is at its peak, isn’t what I would expect you to be involved with. Huo Qi isn’t the most suitable for you. Do you understand what I mean?” Kong Yue said gently to Su Qing.
Su Qing could feel Kong Yue’s good intentions, but she also didn’t understand. “What’s the difference between suitability and liking?”
Kong Yue also knew that she shouldn’t talk about these complicated things to an ignorant child like Su Qing, who couldn’t even be sure what it was like to like someone. However, she couldn’t help but want to understand Su Qing better, and she wanted to pour all her love on her, if she needed it.
“These things are a little complicated for you now. It’s fine if you don’t understand. You’ll slowly understand in the future,” Kong Yue said with a smile, as though she was relieved of something.
“There’s nothing wrong with you liking Huo Qi, but the foundation of relationships is to be equal and fair! Huo Qi doesn’t have a good reputation outside, and he is embroiled in many scandals! If you really want to be with him, your first request should be for him to clean up these messy matters! The age and experiences between you and him are too different. I don’t know if I’m right to teach you like this now, but I want you to know that the most precious emotions in the world aren’t just love, but also family and friendship. No matter what, you have to remember that your family will always love you.”
Perhaps Su Qing couldn’t completely understand Kong Yue’s love for her son now, but she understood Kong Yue’s support and love for her. Kong Yue respected her feelings, and she still loved her deeply.
Kong Yue might not be able to be a very great mother, but she could definitely be the most determined and loving mother. For a special child like Su Qing, it seemed impossible to use forceful methods to “straighten” and “prune” her.
She was a very unique person to begin with. There was no need to forcibly change her personality. The Su family could still afford to spoil her like this.
Su Qing’s heart was soft and hot. She hid in Kong Yue’s arms and smelled the comforting fragrance on her body. “Thank you, Mommy.”
Kong Yue raised her hand and hugged her daughter in her arms. The gentle lines at the corners of her eyes seemed to be able to gently soothe all the sadness in the world. Su Qing didn’t know that this was the halo of motherly love.
However, this rare peaceful scene was broken by Su Qian, who suddenly appeared in the next second.
His usually bright and handsome face was now covered in frost. He was holding a bottle of drink in his hand, and he must have just come out of the kitchen. “I don’t agree to you dating Huo Qi!”
Su Qing stuck her head out of Kong Yue’s arms and looked at her fifth brother in confusion.
