Ten Minutes with Mom (Chapter 2)

Room 401 is also quiet. Lin Sanjiu's heart suddenly sank into her stomach - if Zhu Mei fainted in the room, she really didn't know what to do. Since 12 o'clock tonight, she has transformed three things: Ren Nan's body, hair, and iron door. There is only one place left today, but Zhu Mei's house has two doors!

Lin Sanjiu shouted unwillingly and kept "banging" the door, and she was extremely anxious. - When she got out of the car just now, she noticed that the temperature seemed to be constantly rising. Judging from her hot body feeling, the temperature at this moment is definitely not more than 56°. Zhu Mei, an ordinary person, can she survive... ...

After shouting for a while, Lin Sanjiu only felt that his throat was smoking, so he had to stop and drink a few mouthfuls. Putting the water bottle back into her bag, she was about to raise her hand and knock on the door again, when she suddenly squeaked, and the door of Room 401 opened a crack.

"Zhu Mei, how are you--" Lin Sanjiu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put his flashlight on it.

However, the person who opened the door was not Zhu Mei, but a middle-aged woman in her fifties with a goose-egg face. The woman was suddenly illuminated by the light and quickly blocked it with her hand - but for such a moment, it was enough for Lin Sanjiu to see clearly.

With a "pop", Lin Sanjiu's mobile phone fell to the ground.

She stared at the half-face exposed in the crack of the door, and it took a long time to react. She hurriedly touched her mobile phone - the trembling flashlight hit the door again, and Lin Sanjiu finally found his voice: "...Mom?"

She only felt that her brain was a mess. Mom, why are you... why are you here? Are you all right...? What on earth is going on?"

The middle-aged woman was almost in tears. She hurriedly opened the door, "Come in, come in! It's great that you're okay! Mom is going to worry to death..."

Lin Sanjiu was pulled into the door by her and stopped in the lobby. For a moment, all kinds of thoughts hovered in her mind, but she didn't know what to say. In a daze, Lin San's afterglow swept away and saw a waist-high white shoe cabinet next to her - this shoe cabinet was too familiar to her. It was what she bought with Zhu Mei.

A question blurted out in an instant: "Mom, why are you at Zhu Mei's house? Where is Zhu Mei?"

Lin's mother wiped her tears, pulled a chair over, and signaled Lin Sanjiu to enter the room and sit down. Seeing that she sat down, she choked up and said, "... Since the weather has become so unusual, I have been worried that you are worried to death. Tonight, I heard that the power grid here was paralyzed, so I rushed over... I couldn't get through to you, so I had to come to Zhu Mei's first to see if I could wait for you. But... but Zhu Mei doesn't seem to be a good..."

Lin's mother sobbed a few times and said, "She is a good child... I know you have a good relationship. Don't be too sad."

Lin Sanjiu sat still and was silent for a while, but turned off the flashlight on his mobile phone. The room fell into darkness again.

"I'm mentally prepared on the way here... It can't be helped that God wants to take her. Fortunately, Mom, there is nothing wrong with you. This is better than anything else..." In the dark, Lin Sanjiu said softly.

Mother Lin knew that her daughter couldn't see it, so she still nodded. She wiped her face and said with a smile, "Your father is fine. He is resting in the room. I'll call him now--" After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"I'll go too--" Lin Sanjiu stood up quickly.

Lin's mother nodded as she walked and reached out to push the bedroom door: "Hey..."

As soon as the words were opened, she only heard a gust of wind behind her head. Lin's mother was caught off guard, and her head had been hit heavily with a "bang". At the moment, her body softened and fell to the ground, revealing the figure of Lin Sanjiu behind her.

Lin Sanjiu's arms holding the chair high could hardly support him. He hurriedly put down the chair - but when she put down the chair, she did not let go of her hand. Instead, she held the chair handle tightly and stared at the direction of the bedroom as if she were facing a great enemy. For a moment, in the quiet room, there was only her own heavy gasp.

Then, there was a sound of footsteps behind the bedroom door, and then the bedroom door was pulled open. A tall man with broad shoulders stood at the door, staring at the scene in front of him in shock and angrily - with a little outdoor light, he could barely see his cool appearance.

"What are you doing?! That's your mother!" He roared.

The face on the opposite side, which is very similar to him, has a cold expression at this moment.

"I wish she was my mother more than you." Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath and felt that the muscles on his arms and thighs were jumping because of fatigue. My parents died in a car accident ten years ago. From the identification of the body to the burial, I handled it all by myself. ...Who are you two? Where is my friend again?"
