Chapter 72 NO.0047: Broken Toy

When Liao Qi returned home, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Normally at this time, my mother should not have gotten off work yet. But now she was sitting in front of the sofa, with the ashtray full of extinguished cigarette butts.

He remembered that she particularly hated people smoking.

"came back?"

It sounded like she really wanted to make her voice softer, but she wasn't very successful.

Liao Qi did not reply, but with a straight face, walked through the smoke and walked into his bedroom. Without looking back, he closed the door with his feet and threw his bag on the bed.

Don't want to talk, don't want to answer.

If I could, I wouldn't even want to see her.

If there wasn't anywhere else to go, if she wasn't his last relative... he wouldn't even plan to come back.

He didn't know how long it had passed before he heard a knock on the door.

"Xiao Qi, I know it's hard for you, but mom has something to tell you now."

That's it again.

always like this.

People say that in front of their mother, a child will always remain a child.

Perhaps this is indeed the case, but whether this fact will make people feel warm or scary often depends on the attitude of the final choice.

Maybe Ma Wei didn't realize it herself, but Liao Qi knew very well that she was acting it out for herself.

Once again, Liao Qi felt out of breath.

"Can you open the door, Xiaoqi?"

A soft, hoarse, tearful, aggrieved voice.

She knew she would go home today.

Liao Qi thought to himself.

Maybe she even called the talent incubation center to confirm.

"I know you are under a lot of pressure, and I also know that your mother is always pushing you, but I am doing it for your own good..."

Knowing that she would come back, she deliberately smoked one cigarette after another before going home so that she could see it as soon as possible after returning home.

See her hurting herself.

She knew that she had neither reason nor the ability to convince herself. The only thing she could rely on was the constant family affection between the two.

So she used this as her own weapon - hurting herself to sting her son so that he could obey her plan.

Resisting the urge to open the door, Liao Qi buried his head in the quilt and turned a deaf ear.

The smell of cigarette smoke drifted into the room through the crack of the door with her voice, making him feel sick to his stomach.

After knocking on the door for a long time, my mother began to sob.

She kept blaming herself for putting too much pressure on her husband and her son.

It is useless to blame herself. She is not smart, has no family background, and did not work hard when she was young. Now she can only engage in the disgraceful profession of stealing and selling simulacra movies. She did not give Liao Qi a happy childhood, and she did not stop Liao Qi's father back then.

He was the one who killed him by taking out a prosthetic body loan...

It sounds like it's all my fault, but in fact I'm complaining about why my life is so miserable.

In fact, she may not care whether she can eventually be promoted to an intern in the company.

Liao Qi suddenly realized.

She has never even seriously understood how small the probability is for ordinary people to enter the company through the company's talent incubation center.

She would rather believe the advertisements placed by the company, and then pay in stacks and stacks of money. She completely ignored the fact that the money she just threw into the water could already enable her family to live a fairly good life.

What she wants is just to be obedient. It cannot be forced, but must be done sincerely.

Because there is nothing else to hold on to in her life, only her son.

For this reason, she must hold on to herself at all costs, even if Liao Qi suffocates.

There were already tears outside the door, but Liao Qi still had a hard heart and refused to open the door or make a sound.

This is a confrontation involving the will of both parties. If you want to see a glimmer of light in your future, you must get through this hurdle.

The sound outside the door finally disappeared, but before Liao Qi could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the sound of a key being inserted into the keyhole.

"Where did you get the key?!"

Liao Qi was shocked and angry.

"Xiaoqi, we are a family, we shouldn't be like this..."

My mother sat on the edge of the bed with tears streaming down her face.

Liao Qi took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and sat up.

She wanted to hold her hand, but he threw it away.

"I know you are in a bad mood today. I checked your unified examination results..."

Ma Wei's tears fell uncontrollably again, and Liao Qi turned his head to one side.

"I know it's not ideal, but I also know that you have actually tried your best..."

Liao Qi still pursed his lips and said nothing.

"It's useless for your mother. Every time you pay the registration fee, you don't have money to buy you a memory for studying, so it's hard to catch up with others...

"I saw an advertisement for Minerva Information Technology two days ago. It seems that the memory of 'ZhiChip 6' is the most commonly used by your classmates, right?"

Liao Qi still didn't speak.

"Mom is not smart anyway. I plan to sell my pons and cerebellum to the Lobotomy Gang..."

Ma Wei couldn't finish the second half of her sentence because Liao Qi stood up suddenly and clamped his hands on her shoulders.

Anger ignited in his eyes.

"You... If you dare to sell it, I will die for you!"

Liao Qi, who was out of breath as if he were drowning, finally squeezed out these words from his teeth after looking at his mother for a long time.

Wake up, I am not your property!

Besides, he wanted to shout so loudly.

But he couldn't say it.

The mother was speechless for a while.

After a long time, Liao Qi finally felt that his breathing was smoother and said:

"You don't have to do anything. You can keep the money for your own use in the future. I found a job in Haiti Street, and I get 400 Ore per month, not counting commission."

He let go of his hand tiredly. He picked up his bag and planned to go out.

"Then school..."

He heard his mother's desperate voice behind him.

"That guy who always came here to make trouble..."

Liao Qi was talking about a guy in the class who came from the first floor. His family made a little money by running a simulacra movie business. Because he knew his mother's job, he would always find trouble for him when he had nothing to do.

He had already had enough of that guy.

"Before I went home today, I put a sack on him and gave him a good beating... I beat up a young man who is a gold member. The talent incubation center will probably give me a demerit and expel him from the list."

He said so.

After saying that, he felt that he had never been so relaxed.

"Liao Qi!"

After walking to the door, he heard his mother call his full name.

Looking back, Liao Qi saw her holding up the toy on the table.

The peripherals of the animated "Falcon Man", limited edition crystal figures - very expensive, not something that a family like theirs would be willing to buy.

Liao Qi remembered that his parents had gritted their teeth and bought it in order to allow him to have the best tenth birthday.

Therefore, this is what he has always regarded as the most precious thing.

It would be great if everything could be as it was back then, and it would be great if my father was still alive.

It would be great if this home was still intact.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be twisted into what it is now.

"Once you walk out of this door, don't come back!"

She threatened with trembling all over.

Although it was a threat, Liao Qi knew that the other party was more afraid of this than himself.

But if they don't do this and leave without mercy, they will never be able to get rid of this sick relationship.

How could he continue to stay in this home when she was planning to rely on selling her brain to control herself?

Liao Qi opened the door without saying a word.
To be continued...
