Di Shanshi stood up. He felt very dizzy, as if the room was spinning. Every object in the room seemed to be floating in mid-air.
“Dad, Mom, you two can consider having another child. Maybe have a younger brother or sister for me. I have set my heart on Ye Tianxin. I will not marry anyone else other than her.”
Wu Cailan exploded when she heard that.
She grabbed Di Shanshi’s arm and asked him seriously, “Shi, what do you mean by that? What do you mean you will not marry anyone else?”
Di Shanshi felt the world spinning around him. He tried to break away from Wu Cailan’s grasp.
He walked towards unsteadily the sofa and sat down.
“Mom, what I mean is, I might be single forever.”
Wu Cailan heard what Di Shanshi had said and felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
“Di Shanshi, are you never going to marry for that shameless sl*t? Have you considered how we will feel?”
Di Shanshi’s eyes were red, and he smelled strongly of alcohol.
“Mom, she is not a shameless woman. She is the woman I love the most. I love her. I love her so much that I am willing to give up everything.”
Wu Cailan ran into the kitchen and grabbed a knife. She glared at Di Shanshi angrily.
She placed the knife against her neck and forced Di Shanshi to take back what he had just said.
“Di Shanshi, take back what you just said!” Wu Cailan yelled at her son. “If you don’t, I will kill myself in front of you right now.”
Di Shanshi laughed. He stood up and said, “Go ahead, then.”
Wu Cailan lost all hope.
What love potion did that vixen Ye Tianxin feed Di Shanshi?
“If I die…”
“If you die, that’s suicide. Then, Dad could marry a young and beautiful woman to become my stepmother, and they would have another child. What do you think about that?”
Mayor Di walked up to Wu Cailan and took the knife from her hand.
“Alright. He’s making a fuss, and so are you. He’s just acting up because he is, and you believed him.”
“Dad, I know what I just said,” Di Shanshi insisted. “I am not acting up because I am drunk. I am speaking the truth. I have never been so honest. Actually, I don’t like studying at all. After I left home, I felt comfortable and happy even when I was moving bricks. Why did I come back to take the college entrance exams? It’s because I thought that I should make you all happy since you all think that exam results are so important.”
There was a reason why Mayor Di was the mayor of the town after all. He soothed Di Shanshi and said, “Shi, since you like Tianxin, then go and pursue her. How can you admit defeat even before you’ve pursued her?”
“Pursue? What pursue? I don’t want her to become my daughter-in-law.”
Mayor Di stomped on Wu Cailan’s foot when she said that.
Why was this stupid woman adding fuel to the fire at this moment?
“Why did you step on my foot? Let me tell you this, Di Shanshi, don’t you even dare to dream of marrying Ye Tianxin in this lifetime!”
Di Shanshi smiled bitterly. Wu Cailan was his mother, the woman who had given birth to him and raised him.
She was his mother.
“Mom, don’t worry. That will never happen.”
He would never marry.
He would never fall out of love.
He would love her always until he dies.
“Shi, listen to me. You are still young, and you don’t know what love is. You will find out in the future that what you are feeling right now is not love. Your life has only just begun. You will find even more outstanding girls than Ye Tianxin when you go to college.”
