Hearing the same name from his mother’s mouth, Wu Xiaotian starts beaming to himself as this is the last thing he needs to confirm his speculations. Unable to contain his expressions, Su Meiyao notices it pretty easily, prompting her to ask in curiosity as she thought that her son seems to be so happy from just hearing a story about someone he never met.
“Something on your mind baby? You are smiling quite widely” she asks as she reaches out one of her hands towards his cheeks, gently caressing it as she dotingly observes his extremely handsome face, wondering just how she can be blessed by such perfect son.
Not letting a single word out of his mouth, he summoned the shared system his mother is using, navigating through its interface and bringing her to the interface of the Red Thread System, scrolling through her lists of connection until he finally sees the same name he saw previously.
As she directed her gaze towards whatever her son is doing, she got herself stunned as she looks at the name he’s currently pointing his fingers to, comprehending the words despite the lack of explanation from her son probably due to the mix of positive emotion swirling in her mind right now.
[Mo Lingxue (Maternal Love, Pride, 9-star)]
Seeing those words, Su Meiyao couldn’t help but get teary eyed, looking at her son as if asking him whether what she’s thinking about right now is true or not, the young man quite surprised as the image of the lady in the screen is completely different in the screen, appearing to be an older version of his mother, albeit her expressions seemingly more mischievous and cunning compared to his mother’s.
“Mhm, only living people are displayed in this new system’s interface” seeing the look in his mother’s eyes, Wu Xiaotian easily comprehended the thoughts behind them as he replies to the question she could not ask, making the mature woman cry in a mixture of joy and relief as if she’s removed of something troubling her for a very long time.
“It’s great… Mother, mother is still alive….” While saying those words, tears of joy start to flow out from her eyes while her son continues to caress her back to comfort her, the immortal-like young man never expecting that he will witness a time where the mother he knows for having such immense mental fortitude would cry while lying on his chest, her proud figure seemingly extremely frail in the moment.
After letting her cry out her feelings, he got up from the bed, pulling his mother along with him, sitting her on his lap while they stare at each other face to face, his smile making her think that the surprise is not over yet.
{Can you hear me mom?} while still looking at her, he used the communication function of the Red Thread System, making his mother wonder why he’s using telepathic communication rather than just speaking to her directly since they are facing each other currently.
“Mn~~ Mama hears baby loud and clear~~~ Why telepathic communication though?” while asking him the question, she tilts her head a bit to the left making her appear like a curious little creature, her adorable appeal making the immortal-like young man’s heart to skip multiple beat, all while wondering just how could his mother have multiple kind of charms and all of them are extremely effective against him.
{That’s an additional function of our new system mom, it can apparently allow Red Thread System users to communicate with anyone so long as they meet the requirements, and the range doesn’t matter as well apparently} he patiently explained while failing to stop himself from caressing her head while moving her close to his chest, her soft body leaning on his hard masculine one, her eyes closed while enjoying his deep, soothing voice together with the strong, vigorous and consistent beating of his heart.
While relishing on the feeling of being in her son’s embrace, the black-haired mature beauty’s heart is already filled with excitement, since if what her son is saying is true, then that means that she can finally talk, possibly even meet with her mother again.
“Would you like to try it mom?” he asks vocally now before kissing the top of his mother’s head, inhaling her alluring scent in the process.
“Mn~” she nods before asking him how to use the communication function, efficiently mastering it as she got it on the first try after his explanation, her hands a bit shaky as she’s now trying to communicate with her mother, this being the first time in more than a decade, and she just don’t know how to start the conversation.
“Mom, no need to think about it so much, you said so yourself right, grandmother is someone who always put you above anything else, so just how can things go wrong if the two of you talks?” seeing her antsy antics, Wu Xiaotian reaches out his hands, one holding her hand much smaller than his, while one reaching out to her cheeks, gently caressing it as a way to assure her while looking at her with a genuine smile on his face.
“You’re right baby, mama shouldn’t really overthink this…” snapping out of her thoughts, Su Meiyao replied with a wry smile on her face as she never expected that somewhere down the road, she will be needing lots of encouragement from her son, the one she wants to encourage the most.
“Then what is mom waiting for? Go and talk with Grandma Lingxue” he said while patting her back, gently caressing it as she starts sending a telepathic message to one of the most important people in her life, probably the second one after her beloved son.
{Mother, it’s Meimei, can you hear me?} starting to use the telepathic communication granted by the Red Thread System, Su Meiyao sends a message to her mother, the way she’s addressing herself would definitely make Wu Xiaotian smile if he heard her words as he never knew that there’s someone who can address his mother with such a childish affectionate name.
———-
On a mountain range somewhere near the Nine Sun Province of the east, a specific mountain peak stood out from its extremely harsh and cold nature, the snow-capped top will definitely make passerby wonder as the other peaks even taller than that one are not even covered by snow, most of them merely covered rocks, some by small patches of greeneries here and there.
Sitting in the middle of that snowy mountain cap is a beautiful, seemingly elderly lady in her mid-30’s with perfect, hourglass shape proportion, an extremely enchanting face and a cold, calculating demeanor, her gaze as if a goddess overseeing the entirety of the world beneath the heavens.
As this lady breathes in, tempestuous winds flow across the mountain range, the colder winds being pulled towards her, its coldness disappearing as she breathes it out, a glowing blue layer covering her as she continues whatever she’s doing currently.
“I need to get even stronger…” after a few more cycles of doing this, she opens her eyes while muttering those words, her mind whirring as she starts a new set of schemes and plans to get even stronger than she currently is, the cogwheels in her mind interrupted as she heard an extremely familiar voice, along with the image of the voice’s owner appearing in her mind, a face, as well as a figure that she will never fail to identify no matter when, where or how she sees it, as this is the figure of someone that she cares for her entire life, a figure that she carries in her womb for months.
{Mother, it’s Meimei, can you hear me?}
