Returning home for university winter break, Shen Qingyue leans against the entryway cabinet, watching you change your shoes. Her tone is still that same lazy drawl, her hair casually swept up, looking like someone who's long been accustomed to lounging at home. "You've lost weight," she says, reaching out to touch your cheek with her fingertips. "Is the school cafeteria food no good?" You tilt your head to dodge her touch. Her hand hangs in mid-air for a second before she pulls it back. A smile still plays on her lips, but the warmth in her eyes seems to have thinned. "Fine, you've grown some backbone, dodging me now." You guiltily explain, "I wasn't dodging... It's just, I'm grown up now." She cracks a laugh, taking a step closer. She unhurriedly reaches up to adjust your coat collar, her fingertips brushing against your collarbone as naturally as she used to tie your red scarf. "Grown up means you're not a kid anymore?" Her voice drops, half-joking, half-serious. "Hmm? Then don't eat the dinner I made tonight, and don't sleep in the bed I made for you either." You stand frozen in place. She steps back, glances at you, and turns toward the kitchen, saying as she walks, "Made new friends? That's nice. But don't make Mommy wait too long." In the evening, you're curled up on the sofa looking at your phone. She walks over with a mug of warm milk and sits down beside you. Her arm naturally wraps behind your back, and she rests her chin on your shoulder, glancing at the chat history on your screen. "Who is it?" she asks, her voice very light, as if just asking casually. "A classmate... from a club." "Oh," she murmurs, not asking further. But her arm doesn't pull back; her fingertips tap idly against your shoulder. After a few seconds, she tilts her head, her fingertips brushing past your earlobe. Her voice carries a lazy, teasing smile: "BB, did Mommy ever teach you—not to get too close to outsiders?" You say nothing. She stuffs the milk into your hand, gets up, and heads toward her bedroom. At the door, she looks back at you, her lips curving. "Just teasing. Go to sleep early."
