Love [Silver] Perfect

TERMS

While Jiang Lizqi remains eager for Sunday activities, Steven Lou is the other way around. It's nine o'clock more and he's still lounging in bed. The sap sticks to the top of the bed as if reluctant to loose.

In a prone position curled up in a blanket, his eyes that were wide open stared glaringly at the two cellphones lying beside the pillow. His fingers were busy tapping on the surface of one of the phones he seemed to have just used.

Tok tok tok tok

His eyelids reflexively blinked as a knocking sound rang out at the door and hurriedly closed them, pretending to be asleep.

"Steven, it's mom! Steven!"

Not even getting a reply, Ms. Lou ventured to open the door. Steven Lou could hear a smooth pecking sound as the doorknob was pressed very carefully. When that almost non-sounding footstep burst approached, his heartbeat somehow became racing. It felt like he was playing hide-and-seek and now realized that his hiding position was already known to the opponent.

Without even looking, Steven Lou knew that the mother was in front of him from the burden that pressed the edge of the mattress and the fresh fragrant aroma he always used.

Very quietly, Ms. Lou uncovers the blanket that covers Steven Lou's head. Gently stroked her hair, also stroking her forehead and cheeks. It's been a long time that Steven Lou has never felt a caress this soft. He really misses her. The touch made his heart feel warm and serene.

"Honey, it's noon. Come on, get up." Whispering, Lady Lou landed a kiss on her son's forehead.

Steven Lou actually did not want to respond, but if he remained silent then his tears could seep at any time. Finally he pretended to groan lazily while changing the position of his head to turn his back on his mother. After that, a streak of winking eyelids to expel the clear liquid that had peeked was about to come out.

Lady Lou who was unaware of that and again whispered softly, "Steven. Until when to keep sleeping. Comeon, wakeup. Accompany mom shopping."

"Lazy." Steven Lou's voice muffled by pillows.

A smile adorned the lips of Lady Lou who, even without polish, remained red. "It's waking up apparently."

Steven Lou flinching. Although his heart felt a little warm because of the mother's gentle touch, but he was still reluctant to be friendly. Still upset because it is always ignored. He even shook his mother's hand.

Madam Lou smiled. No matter the rejection, his fingers endlessly stroked his son's hair. "Don't you always complain that this mother never cares about you? Come on, we go for a walk, but mom has time."

Grunting violently, Steven Lou again pulled the blanket over his head. This is not what he expected. He wants to be a priority, not a toy in his spare time.

"I don't have time" he said.

Madam Lou smiled gently. "Just sleep, how can you not have time, huh?"

"I don't have time for people who never have time for me!" Steven Lou shifts away from his mother.

Sighing heavily because once again his heart had to endure the pain. Want to speak well like a mother and child, but what happened was precisely Steven Lou always, like deliberately wanting to thicken the dividing wall between them.

"I want to sleep!"

"Then I want to talk seben--"

Still trying to be patient, Lady Lou persisted. "Mom just wanted to congratulate me. Mister Kwong said, You got good grades in Mister Yo's course."

"Nothing to be proud of." Steven Lou is cynical, still with a pillow covering his ears.

Lady Lou smiled. He thought that his son was still too angry that he did not want to make that one achievement something to be flattered ... or, after all this time always trying to look bad by defying.

"That's an achievement, dear. Mom's very proud---"

"I stole Jiang Lizqi's assignment! I want to tarnish his reputation! Satisfied?!" Tega, he purposely said it all to hurt his mother's heart.

Lady Lou was in tremendous shock. "God! Why would you do that?"

Succeeds. Steven Lou has successfully hurt his mother's feelings. The woman stroked the chest many times.  Lip pengulum, painstakingly holding sobs.

Madam Lou was deeply concerned and felt guilty towards Jiang Lizqi. Because of her, the girl who does not know anything must get hatred from her son.

With a grim face, the woman said, "Steven. Why would you do that, son? Jiang Lizqi was innocent of anything. It was my mother who deserved to be blamed--"

"Yes!" Steven Lou is attacked. "I did blame Mom, but I couldn't help but hate her either. No child will feel happy when compared to other people's children. No child will cheer joyfully when he hears his mother praising another child, but humbling his own. Mother made me hate her. Hating people I shouldn't hate." The arrogant young man insisted. The pride is back to mastering it.

"Stevens. I never meant to put you down, son." Although her voice was already shaking, but Madam Lou still tried to hold on so as not to cry.

The woman grabbed her son's hand, then squeezed gently. "I'm sorry, Mother." At this point, Lady Lou was no longer able to prevent her tears from dripping. "Mother loves you and maybe because of mother's high expectations, she has unwittingly held you back. From now on, I won't forbid anything you'll do. I just want you to be happy. Smile at me, like Steven Lou did."

Steven Lou just stared at his sobbing mother as he spoke. In the depths of his heart, he really felt unbearable. It felt like he wanted to pull the woman who had given birth to him into an embrace, but somehow his body seemed reluctant to move. Perhaps it was because there were too many bad prejudices that caused his soul to be chained.

Madam Lou wiped her tears, then looked at Steven Lou. Her lips twitched; twitched carved a sincere smile, then said, "If mother lets you go to Singapore, will you forgive mother and will smile back at mother?"

Steven Lou is flabbergasted. "Mom. Really? Mom really meant it, didn't she?" tanyanya enthusiastic.

Lady Lou is speechless. Just nodding in succession in response and Steven Lou's unwillingness instantly dissipated. Soon she took her mother into a warm embrace and repeatedly whispered her thanks, Mom.

Her voice was almost inaudible, but Lady Lou kept trying to express her feelings in the words, "Mother loves you. Just want the best for you, but I seem to forget that the best according to mom is not necessarily going to make you happy. I'm sorry, mother."

In between the sobs that smothered his neck, Steven Lou continued to say thank you and sorry.

Lady Lou stroked and patted her son's back gently. Carefully he said, "May mother apply for one condition?"

Instantly, Steven Lou let go of his embrace and pulled away. His little heart was crying out! There must be a stick! After nineteen years of being disappointed, it seems impossible to suddenly be given a special gift.
