"Why did you send this to me?" After watching it, although I felt a mix of nostalgia and excitement, I couldn't help but type a question to Da Guo.
"I wanted to leave you a memory. This is your first time with my mom, and it's also your first time in life. This video is really significant..." Da Guo quickly replied.
"You actually filmed it secretly..." I typed back, but before sending it, I deleted the message.
My breathing had become a bit erratic, and I didn't know what to say to Da Guo.
I had originally wanted to talk to Da Guo, but after seeing this video, I couldn't bring myself to say those words. The prepared statements now felt impossible to voice.
Da Guo sending me this video might also have a hint of "threat," not because Da Guo disregarded our friendship for my mom, but perhaps he sensed something, using the video to manipulate me and prevent me from rejecting him.
I have to admit, Da Guo succeeded. What if, in a moment of desperation, he threatened to send this video to my mom? What would happen next?
I really couldn't imagine.
In the past, I believed Da Guo wouldn't do that. I was very confident in our friendship, but now... they say that lust can drive people to do terrible things; for desire, people might even resort to violence. After all, he's just a minor; how could he consider the consequences?
During the struggle with my mom at noon, Da Guo seemed very agitated, completely focused on getting to my mom, even hanging up my call.
"Why are you only sending it to me now?" I couldn't help but inquire indirectly.
"I've been editing it for the past few days. The original video was too long, and I cut out a lot of unnecessary parts. I just finished editing it tonight, so I sent it to you right away..." After a brief pause, Da Guo typed back.
"Oh..." I was a bit skeptical, so I just replied with one word.
"I'm sorry, bro. I almost succeeded at noon. I was anxious and hung up your call, but I promise it won't happen again..." Just as I was thinking about how to respond to Da Guo, he sent another message.
"Enough about that, I need to sleep now..." Unexpectedly, Da Guo apologized again, cutting off my chance to say anything further. I had to take a step back and think things over.
"Alright, bro, get some rest. Goodnight..." After Da Guo sent the message, everything fell silent.
Lying in bed, I found it hard to sleep, my mind racing.
If Da Guo hadn't sent me this video, I would have laid everything on the line, but now... I felt indecisive.
But then I thought of my mom's tears and her emotions from tonight. Out of love and concern for her, I gritted my teeth and made a decision.
Looking at the time, it was already very late, and Da Guo was probably asleep by now.
I started typing on my phone: "Da Guo, after careful consideration, I've decided not to play the 'Green Mother' game anymore. Not for any other reason, but because of my mom. At noon, I saw her in tears. When I came back tonight, although she tried to cover it up with makeup, I could still tell she had cried not long before I returned. Moreover, she didn't eat dinner tonight and didn't even go to the store to livestream. I don't want my mom to get hurt, so I've decided to stop. Please don't treat my mom like that anymore. I've already gotten Ms. An, and I appreciate your matchmaking, but you've also gained quite a bit from my mom, so we can consider it even. Also, if you sent me this video as a threat, I will not compromise. I am my mom's biological son; no matter what mistakes I make, she won't do anything to me. For my mom, I would rather give up everything. I hope you don't have such thoughts; otherwise, we won't even be able to remain friends..."
After finishing, I sent the message. I hesitated for a long time before hitting send; it wasn't true that I wasn't nervous or scared.
But for my mom's sake and the future, I had to do this. To be honest, even though I sounded very harsh in this message, I felt no confidence at all and didn't know how Da Guo would react to it.
This guy has a terrible temper; if he gets angry, I might end up in a huge fight with him, and our friendship could become meaningless.
Even if we interacted like before, it would all feel insincere.
Honestly, I regretted agreeing to Da Guo in the first place. If I had nipped it in the bud, none of these messy problems would have arisen.
Da Guo took a long time to respond. Maybe he had already fallen asleep?
To be honest, I was just estimating that sending it late would help, as I hadn't calmed down yet and didn't know how to face Da Guo's potential inquiries and anger.
"What are you talking about? Bro, how could I threaten you? I said back then, if you weren't willing, we would stop immediately. After all, our brotherhood comes first. I know you're still angry, so I'll stop for now. If you calm down in the future and agree, we can continue, okay?" Just as I was about to close QQ and go to sleep, Da Guo's QQ suddenly rang. Taking a deep breath, I opened the chat, and when I saw Da Guo's message, my heart skipped a beat.
This result was somewhat unexpected; I didn't think Da Guo would agree so readily without causing a fuss.
This made me feel a bit awkward, as if I had taken advantage of Da Guo, and I felt like I wasn't being a good friend.
"I won't agree to this in the future…" I initially wanted to say that, but after typing it out, I thought it over and deleted it.
He said if I didn't agree, it would stop. Now that I didn't agree, Da Guo immediately agreed to terminate it. What was I saying? It seemed too inconsiderate.
Anyway, Da Guo already said that, right?
As long as I don't agree, it can stop, so I can just continue not agreeing in the future, right?
"Okay... Thank you for your understanding..." After taking a deep breath, I typed back to Da Guo.
"Alright, bro, get some rest... The finals are coming up soon..." Da Guo replied again.
"Ah..." After putting down my phone, I let out a long sigh of relief, lightly patting my chest. I was really tense and scared.
Looking back, it turned out I was the one who thought too negatively; Da Guo didn't have those intentions. I was the one overthinking it.
I have to admit, I still felt a bit uneasy. Earlier, I was angry at Da Guo for hanging up on me, disregarding our friendship and promises, but now I felt guilty toward him. This is Da Guo's brilliance; at least his emotional intelligence is much higher than mine.
"Click..." Just as I closed my eyes and was about to sleep, I suddenly heard the sound of a door opening next door, very softly.
Mom came out of her bedroom. It seemed I was right; she hadn't fallen asleep and was probably trying to calm herself down.
"Click..." Another soft sound; I heard my door open. Mom was still worried about me, coming to check if I had fallen asleep.
Before long, the door closed gently again.
"Click..." Not long after, another sound came from the door. Did Mom go back to her bedroom?
"Whoosh..." But not long after, I heard the sound of water flowing from the shower. It was from the bathroom.
It turned out Mom hadn't returned to her bedroom but had gone to the bathroom. Was she preparing to take a shower?
I closed my eyes, ready to rest. Maybe Mom wanted to calm down with a shower, and by tomorrow, she would return to being her old self.
"Mm... Mm... Huh... Ha..." Just as I was about to drift into a dream, suddenly a faint sound came through the sound of water, very soft and ethereal.
"Mm?" I opened my eyes involuntarily, suddenly alert. I wasn't fully asleep yet; could I be dreaming?
I glanced toward the door; the sound seemed to disappear, leaving only the water flow.
I pursed my lips, ready to sleep again.
"Mm~~~~ Ha... Mm..." Just as I closed my eyes again, another ethereal sound came, and I opened my eyes once more. This wasn't a dream; it was a real sound—Mom's moan...
