Chapter 206 – The Fears From Past Life
Mo Chen school starts before Mo Roulan's college and since it is a little far from their building unlike Mo Roulan's college so he always needs to leave before Mo Roulan.
Lin Qianru always wakes him up before going to Mo Roulan's room and since Mo Roulan sets her own alarm she doesn't need t worry about her that much except just checking if her daughter suddenly decided to get lazy one day and turned off the alarm.
However, that morning when Lin Qianru went to Mo Chen's room to wake her son up she was surprised to see her daughter sleeping there with her younger brother.
Mo Chen's hand was held by Mo Roulan and she was sleeping without a blanket as the whole blanket was on his side.
Lin Qianru first frowned and then sighed in distress as she got worried that her daughter might get sick. She didn't know for how long she had been sleeping like this.
Mo Roulan sleeping in Mo Chen's room didn't surprise Lin Qianru much. There had been many nights before when Mo Roulan would suddenly come to her room and she would find her sleeping by her side on her bed when she wakes up the next morning.
And sometimes she would find her in Mo Chen's room sleeping beside her brother and holding his hand.
In the past, Lin Qianru used to wonder when Mo Roulan was still young if she got nightmares, and hence she was scared to sleep alone.
However, Mo Roulan didn't tell her anything.
She would say that she was feeling cold and hence wanted to hug someone.
This logic to reduce the cold didn't sound logical to Lin Qianru's ears but she never tried to argue with her daughter.
Everyone has their own ways of hiding their fears.
Perhaps her daughter had this way but she was happy that at least her daughter could come to her whenever she was feeling scared.
Today…it was after a long time she again saw Mo Roulan sleeping beside Mo Chen.
Did she get nightmares again?
Lin Qianru felt distressed for her daughter and silently tiptoed to Mo Chen's bed. She was planning to wake up Mo Chen quietly and then cover Mo Roulan with the blanket so that she can sleep for some more time.
She didn't know at what time Mo Roulan could sleep at night.
However, she had just woken up Mo Chen who immediately covered his mouth when his mother signed him to stay silent.
Mo Chen was happy when he saw that his Jiejie was sleeping beside him.
He smiled happily and carefully tried to climb down from the bed. However, during his movements, he didn't notice that his hand was held by his Jiejie so when he moved he moved his hand also.
Mo Roulan woke up immediately when she felt the hand she was holding slipping away.
"Chenchen…"
She called Mo Chen's nickname as soon as she got up making Lin Qianru look at her in confusion.
A moment later, Lin Qianru felt unhappy when she saw that her daughter could not get good sleep and she looked at Mo Chen with a strict face.
She could clearly see her swollen eyes that indicating the lack of sleep.
Mo Chen was also feeling guilty. He bit his tongue and looked at his sister with a sad face.
"Jiejie, Chenchen is sorry. Chenchen should have been careful not to wake Jiejie up."
Mo Roulan was already happy when she saw that her brother was standing safe and sound in front of her eyes.
The whole night she kept dreaming of Mo Chen's suddenly disappearing or something else. In one of the dreams, she heard Mo Chen crying screams as he blamed her for abandoning him.
At a moment, Mo Roulan was so afraid to sleep that she held Mo Chen tightly in her arms just to ensure that he was really here with her.
Still, she didn't get to know when the sleep consumed her and the nightmares started again.
Now looking at Mo Chen's guilty and apologetic face, Mo Roulan had no grudges inside her heart. She smiled softly and told her brother.
"It's okay, Chenchen. It's already time for college. Jiejie had to get up to go the college in the end so you did nothing wrong."
Mo Chen knew that his sister was just comforting him so he didn't feel any better.
Even Lin Qianru knew this and wanted to ask Mo Roulan to take a leave for one day and just rest at home.
In her eyes, the study was not important than the health of her children and she trusted her daughter would not fall behind by talking leave for one day.
However, she had just opened her mouth when Mo Roulan interrupted her and said
"Mom, I am completely fine. Don't worry too much."
Saying this, Mo Roulan immediately turned around and left the room.
She knew that if she stayed for one more moment then her mother would start to convince her to take a leave from the college.
However, Mo Roulan knew that if she stayed at home then she would go more crazy so it was best for her to go to college.
——–
Mo Roulan got ready for the college and exited her room with her bag hanging on her shoulder.
When she entered the dining room, her face didn't look too good and Lin Qianru again tried to convince her to just stay at home.
"Roulan, just accompany your mother at home today, what say?"
Lin Qianru tried this trick on her daughter.
However, Mo Roulan who clearly saw through this trick of her mother shook her head with a chuckle and said
"Mom, you must be the first mother in this whole world who is convincing her daughter to take a leave from the college. "
Lin Qianru pouted like a child at her daughter's words and that made Mo Chen and Mo Roulan laugh at her mother's antics.
In the end, Lin Qianru could only sigh as her daughter finished her breakfast and stood up from the chair.
"Such a pitiful mother I am. Since I am old now, my daughter doesn't want to accompany me."
Lin Qianru pretended to wipe her tears making Mo Roulan roll her eyes at her mother's pretense. She didn't know that her mother could also try to emotionally blackmail people like this …especially her own children.
She walked to her side and bent down to kiss her mother's cheek to comfort her, however, she froze when she heard her mother's next words.
"I will just go to Mrs. Zhu's house then. She was also inviting me to spend some time with her as she feels alone in her husband and son's absence when they are out for their won work."
Mo Roulan frowned when she heard her mother's words and said immediately
"No, you are not going to their house."
