HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
383 - Xiao WeiWei (2)

Xiao WeiWei watched the young man sitting before him intently. Xiao Shuxiang, who was 7 years old, had grown into a handsome young man.

"Time passes so quickly..." Xiao WeiWei opened his voice and made Xiao Shuxiang frown. The woman said softly, "We were in that place before. Now look at how the sky got us here. I still remember it as if it just happened yesterday,"

Xiao WeiWei took a breath and said, "You were a child once. You were together with Jing Mi and the others. Now that you all have grown up, especially now that you have become an influential person in this place. But..."

Xiao WeiWei's gaze decreased as he continued, "Mother thought about it and became very worried. So far... No one knows who you really are. I've been figuring out a lot about your life in the past and honestly there's nothing good I can find."

"Xiao'Er, I'm sorry. But honestly I was worried about what you would do," Xiao WeiWei looked at his son and said, "If your enemy is very dangerous... Doesn't it feel like it's going to be hard to fight it alone? Let your friends know or the disciples in this sect. They can help you,"

Xiao Shuxiang shook his head slowly, "No Mother. Can't.."

While exhaling softly, Xiao Shuxiang said. "I've never told this to anyone before, but does Mother know the reason this Cold Cloud City became the location of the founding of the Butterfly Sect?"

Xiao WeiWei blinked, for some reason the atmosphere felt different when he heard Xiao Shuxiang's words just now. He asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's not just a coincidence. In the past I saved Mo Huai and the remaining citizens of Cold Cloud City because the entire population was wiped out by the members of Scarlet Shadow. That woman named Bian Que... He killed many of the citizens of this town, leaving only a few heads and that left them living in fear."

Xiao Shuxiang said, "It happened a long time ago, but I still remember every detail of it. This place is like a dead city and after defeating Bian Que, we made the decision to move the sect here as well as invite the villagers of Tani Village to live here. Mother and the others made this city come to life again, but it wasn't a coincidence."

"I'm sorry," Xiao Shuxiang took a breath and said, "I've actually made my own plans to make this city as bait and all of you... Included in it."

Xiao WeiWei flinched and his shock was realized by Xiao Shuxiang. The young man looked down and said, "I am actually... Want to use you guys."

"The beginning..." Xiao Shuxiang felt claustrophobic to speak, but he still had to explain. He said, "I want to make you all a shield of flesh. My enemy... It will target you, but it doesn't matter because I don't care if you die even once. But... I don't know when this happened. Something's changed and I don't want you all to get hurt. I'm really sorry..."

"Mother is really surprised," Xiao WeiWei said, "Do you also want to kill your father and mother?"

"I'm sorry..."

Xiao WeiWei saw the young man before him bowed. He took a breath and said, "Mom found out about this, now you answer. In your previous life... Did you really kill your mom and dad?"

Xiao Shuxiang flinched. He looked at Xiao WeiWei and did not know what to answer. If he says it unintentionally, it's not a good thing. He was clearly aware of what he was doing, but at that moment he really did not know that his actions were really taking the lives of his parents.

"Mom, I-I"

"Xiao'Er, your answer."

"...................."

There was no reason whatsoever that could be justified if it took the lives of others, let alone it was the person closest to itself. Xiao Shuxiang understood very well. Self-defense makes him look bad.

Whether intentional or not... The truth is that his parents died because of him. Nope. They're not in his hands.

Xiao Shuxiang closed his eyes for a moment before staring at the woman before him and then nodded slowly in response. He said, "I'm not going to lie to you. Stains in the past ... I won't be able to lose. Even with dozens of reincarnations,"

"You know I'm so angry right now?" xiao WeiWei's facial expression was still the same, even her tone was no different. Of course anger did not appear on his face, but Xiao Shuxiang did not raise any objections.

Xiao WeiWei said, "I'm very angry. Thinking that why the figure before me was Xiao Shuxiang. When you were little, I was against your grandfather giving this name because it reminded us of the bitter events of the past. Only in your grandfather's eyes.. Xiao Shuxiang was the name of the criminal who had already saved his life and even allowed him to hide his identity. To him... Xiao Shuxiang is a hero. But I don't agree if my son's given that name,"

"When you were a kid, you were so grumpy. You never even appreciated anyone, including your mom and dad. You were rude to your grandfather, too, and you bullied your brother. What you think is always practice. The mischief you're doing is becoming more and more until that day comes and for the first time you're eating with us."

!!!

Xiao Shuxiang was like hearing a rumbling sound. He looked at Xiao WeiWei and there was clearly a sense of surprise on his face. The crack on his heart grew faster as if he had a premonition of what this woman was about to say.

Xiao WeiWei continued, "Before you didn't want to eat together. Your father always felt that his son was a little weird. But when you turned out to eat with her, she was so happy. He didn't think of anything else, but I was different. It felt... My son changed, even more submissive."

"The son I recognize as Xiao Shuxiang is very ambitious despite his young age. Xiao Lu had even come and said that he was afraid of being near his sister. The girl said that her sister rarely spoke and always looked at her like she wanted to eat her alive. But after that day... Things really change."

Xiao Shuxiang watched Xiao WeiWei before starting to say, "Aged 7 Years... It was the age where I woke up and saw that Fussy Girl. I don't know the memories of my previous age, but now I know. It's just... The Xiao Shuxiang that you know and I now are not the same two people."

"Right," Xiao WeiWei said, "Xiao'Er Mother's son is the child who will instantly pull her little dagger upon seeing her grandfather. He was the kid who spent more time with the farm animals and never knocked on Mom's bedroom door. To be honest the former Xiao'Er was more disrespectful than you are now."

Xiao WeiWei took a breath and said, "Mother is actually wondering. You obviously value others more than my own son. If only your presence did not exist... Everything will definitely change. I can't even imagine what's going to happen,"

"..................."

Xiao WeiWei held the young man's hand before him and said, "You are actually a very good person. I'm sure... Those who see your actions and think of them as evil in the past... Don't know the real reason for what you did. And I can see, you don't feel the need to explain anything."

"Xiao 'Er..." Xiao WeiWei looked at the sky for a moment before then saying, "Demonic Beasts are called destroyers and also threats to humans, even though most of them teach humanity. On the other hand there are humans, but their hearts are not human. So even if you were born in a bad environment or your blood has an attachment to the devil even - as long as you have a good heart... Never question your identity. For Mother... No one does as much good as you. You don't even expect thanks or anything from anyone else."

"..................."

Seeing the young man before him speechless made Xiao WeiWei exhale. He came closer and then hugged Xiao Shuxiang. His hands stretched out and gently rubbed the young man's head and back.

"This poor Mother's son... You've been through so much. You shouldn't have to endure everything yourself... I'm here, you can share it with me..."

"..................."

'Bread it'

So far no one has ever volunteered to help bear the burden of others. That's why many people who feel they can't tell the problem he is facing, they have difficulty sharing it.

But this was the first time anyone was willing to help shoulder a burden and to be honest Xiao Shuxiang did not expect that person was the most awkward person she actually referred to as 'Mother'.

Xiao Shuxiang had never taken the initiative to hug let alone be close to his mother all this time. He felt that it was inappropriate, let alone considering who he really was.

Xiao Shuxiang's hand was stretched out, but stopped in midair and went back down. Even now he was still very awkward to return a hug from this woman. It's just that he knows one thing for sure... He felt very lucky to be the son of a very kind and sincere woman who loved him.

Xiao WeiWei let go of his slow embrace and gently rubbed the young man's face before him, "Are you crying?"

Xiao Shuxiang blinked, "It's impossible. This is because the sunlight is too glare,"

Xiao WeiWei smiled, "Mother's son is really handsome."

"Don't praise me, I know this Xiao Shuxiang is amazing." Xiao Shuxiang smiled and held the hand of Xiao WeiWei that was on his cheek. He will only speak when he hears the voices of others accompanied by footsteps.

"Wei'Er?!"

Xiao Shuxiang and Xiao WeiWei turned their heads. The person who had just climbed here was none other than Yang Hao. The man walked over and suddenly pulled Xiao WeiWei's hand and made Xiao Shuxiang flinch.

"Xiao 'Er..! What did you do to your mother?"

!?

Xiao Shuxiang frowned, looking astonished. On the other side Xiao WeiWei was equally her, the woman turned her head and saw the somewhat sullen expression of her husband. He snorted and immediately pulled the ears of the man behind him.

"You shit? Is this how you talk to your son, huh?" the tone of Xiao WeiWei's voice rang out. Even Xiao Shuxiang was stunned because his mother spoke very softly to him.

"Ouch, Wei'Er. Dear. You ignored your promise to me and are here. How could I not be upset. Don't you know how long I waited for you? Ouch,"

"Oh, don't pull. You removed my wife in front of our son, "Yang Hao managed to let go of the pull in his ear and he hugged his wife.

Xiao WeiWei clucked, "Let go of me. Do you want to die?"

"Of course not. I will never let my dear become a widow,"

"You're this..." Xiao WeiWei was just about to pull Yang Hao's nose when his hand was actually held and his temple actually got a kiss.

Xiao WeiWei froze in shock. A bright color was seen on his cheeks and he was staring at the horror of this man. Xiao WeiWei grumbled, "How could you be like that?! You shitty dirt stink man! You're making me so embarrassed!"

"Wei'Er, you're so fierce. Do you really not like me anymore?" Yang Hao rubbed his heavily slapped arm.

On the other hand, Xiao Shuxiang was completely dumbfounded by what he saw. He looked at the two before him and was convinced that his father and mother had their own personal world.

Xiao WeiWei's tone of voice was so cold as he said, "Man sucks. It's still bright and how dare you behave like that. Next time there won't be a night ration for you,"

"Don't be like that, honey-"

"Ohok!" Xiao Shuxiang coughed and resuscitated these two people closest to him. He also immediately noticed his father and mother.

Xiao Shuxiang blinked and awkwardly said, "Sorry. Let's just say I don't exist. You can go on,"

Yang Hao said, "Son. You better go get a drink,"

"Ah.. Right."." Right." Xiao Shuxiang smiled and then stood up, "It seems like I do feel my throat a little itchy. Then I'll go first,"

"Alright, be careful on the road." Yang Hao again hugged Xiao WeiWei and made his wife flinch.

"You're really why? Is it in marriage, huh?"

"I just missed you. Can't I even hug?"

"Can't! Ouch, Hao'Er..."

Xiao Shuxiang who walked away could still hear the voices of Xiao WeiWei and Yang Hao. He exhaled and shook his breath slowly.

"Wei'Er, I haven't hugged you all day. I always have to keep my attitude and it really makes me tired. We don't even have time together,"

"You kidding? You think I've been sleeping with a log all this time, huh? My waist still hurts from working hard and it's all your fault! You are old, how can you still have that much energy?!"

"Because my love for you has never diminished. My most beautiful wife this~"

"Hao'Er, you're like a child. Stopit! What if someone sees?"

"Easy. Let me gouge out their eyes," Yang Hao was just about to kiss his wife's face when he suddenly remembered something. He exclaimed and called Xiao Shuxiang until the young man walking down the stairs gasped.

"Xiao'Er!"

Xiao Shuxiang looked over. His expression was calm as he stared towards Yang Hao. He saw Xiao WeiWei still in his father's arms and appeared to have a bad expression.

Yang Hao said, "White Cat-ah! I mean, son-in-law... He's looking for you. You didn't fight with him, did you?"

Xiao Shuxiang blinked, "No. I didn't fight. Is the White Cat here?"

"Mn, I just met him. He was with Young Master Lan and your other friend. Go and meet them,"

"Alright," Xiao Shuxiang walked down a few steps before returning again and calling out to Yang Hao.

"Dad! Can I ask you something?" Xiao Shuxiang opened his voice and made Yang Hao look at him.

"What do you want to ask?"

Xiao Shuxiang watched Xiao WeiWei and then said, "Mother looks dislikeful of your treatment. But why do you keep forcing him?"

Yang Hao looked at the girl who could not escape from this embrace of his and then snorted softly. He asked with a sinless face, "Darling? Don't you like being hugged by me?"

With a faint tone, Xiao WeiWei said. "You think I've liked it all this time?"

"Then I'll hold you until you like it,"

"Hao'Er, you're this-"

Yang Hao laughed and looked towards Xiao Shuxiang. He smiled and said, "If your mother really doesn't like it, she's been killing me since. Don't worry,"

Xiao WeiWei's. "Hao'Er, it's still noon. You're a real child. Let's get off me,"

"I can't wait until night. I just hugged you anyway, didn't do anything."

Xiao Shuxiang scratched slowly at his cheeks that were not itchy and then panted. He could even still hear his father's voice sounding like it was intentionally made adorable.

Yang Hao said, "Do I also have to call you 'White Cat'? That call sounds so sweet."

"Then you're a wolf. The childish old wolf,"

"I'm only childish in front of my sweet wife,"

"Stop, aren't you ashamed?"

"I'm just showing your son how to deal with a cold wife,"

"What?"

"By hugging her tightly like this,"

"ah! Hao'Er..!"

"If you don't like it, you can kill me."

"You, you dirt-smell-Uhm..."

!!

Xiao Shuxiang had even covered his ears as he went down the stairs and could still hear the voice of his parents. He was honestly very shocked by Yang Hao's actions. Though the father he knew looked like he was full of self-control, but what the hell was this?!

"Yes God. Don't tell me at this age who's already an uncle... I'm gonna have another sister,"
