A blinding light caused the boy sleeping on the bed to open his eyes. A pair of apricot eyes opened, his eyes was confused for a moment. Looking at the pair of smooth and unblistered hands he felt into panicked.
Shen Rui nearly shouted when he saw that his room is the same as he remembered back in the day.
Shouldn't he have died the moment he rammed his head on that pole instead of being humilated by those hooligans. Making sure of everything he opened the door to his room startling his mother that is about to coax him.
His mother is still smiling, her face isn't burdened by anything. Before he realised Shen Rui was running towards his mother Shen Ran's embrace. Mama Shen was caught off guard but she still dutifully try to catch his son.
She was happy that her son took the initiative to hug her, until she heard the sobs of the poor boy that suddenly turn into wailing into no time.
"Mom, I'm sorry. I won't do it again!!" Shen Ran felt distressed at his crying son.
Shen Rui had long been their little prince and she had never seen him cry so agonizingly like this. Her heart ache as a mother, this child of her had been sickly since his birth so he had a small and thin frame despite being 18 years old.
"Come and tell mom what's making our Xiao Rui cry. I'll buy it for you don't listen to dad" Mother Shen tried to coax the crying child that won't stop.
She thought that Shen Rui was throwing tantrums again because her husband refused to give the child money to buy the red sports car and even got reprimanded hard. The child must have felt aggrieved, just a few million yuan and Shen Lu wasn't giving it to him.
The teenager wasn't one who knows how to control his emotions but this time he promised to be as low key as possible, never making trouble for his family any longer.
He was overwhelmed with seeing his mom that he just automatically act like a child again.
With how loud he cried awhile ago it is not a surprise anymore that both his father and his brother Shen Zhen went to the source of the noise.
Shen Rui's nose was red as well as the corners of his eyes. The tears on his cheeks were still wet making him look so pitiful. His chest was heaving rapidly from crying silly and the Shen family ached at the sight of the little bun.
"Darling, can't you just give Xiao Rui his car? Look at how sad our son is, Are we going bankrupt and a few million yuan and you are so stingy?" Mother Shen said while rubbing Shen Rui's head to comfort.
"It's for his own good. He doesn't even know how to drive after he learn I can buy it for him." Father Shen gave in. It's not like he didn't want to give the son a sports car but doing so he might be involved in an accident. He knew all too well that their youngest son loves to cause trouble but who let him be their little prince that they always protect him wholeheartedly.
Shen Zhen heave a sigh at his little brother on his mom's arms: "If you want it I'll buy it, don't bother mom and dad anymore." he and his dad always had a default angry expression because of their thick eyebrow but this is his way of doting on his brother.
The teenager remembered where this was in the past. It was when he wanted to buy a red sports car that he threw a tantrum and go for a hunger strike for two days before fainting and was brought in to the hospital.
"I don't need the car anymore, we can just save the money." he said in a low voice but the whole family still heard it.
It was already great that he was brought back in the past like those mangas he was reading, he shouldn't be too extravagant so what happened before didn't need to repeat itself.
The whole family was shocked. What does he mean by saving money? This little ancestor who won't even look at some delicacies if it has gotten a little bit cold? The same person who destroyed his two day old sports car just because he want the red one? His words came as a shock to the family that they could clearly perceived that something was off with their youngest child.
"You don't need to save, if you want brother would buy you two red cars for you what do you think?" Shen Zhen asked his brother who is looking down on the ground with a sulky face. He had the urge to pinch those fat cheeks but he doesn't have the heart to hurt him.
The teenager shook his head. On this day he promised he would save money so even if their Shen family was destroyed he could contribute to the family. The though made him smile and determined.
Shen Rui smiled at his mother saying with a milky voice, "Mom, I want to eat your fried chicken and pork buns." His voice is still childish and sweet, their little prince acting like this who could dare resist?
Mother Shen nod at his son who is busy grabbing her skirt with his paws. His son might have been acting sweet because he doesn't want to look at his eldest brother and father. Anyways she couldn't be bother, those two should apologize themselves and now she would cook for the child.
"Of course whatever my Xiao Rui wants. Do you want to eat in your room with mom? Or inside the dining room. Don't worry about your dad and brother I'll tell them to stay in their rooms."
The father and son who would stay in their room felt wronged but could not utter any word of resistance to whatever the boy would decided on.
The boy had always been sickly, it was only when he was sixteen that he was allowed out of the hospital bed. It is no wonder his mental age is still that of a child. Even his frame and figure looks like he is still fifteen even though he is already eighteen.
"I want to eat with Dad and Zhen-ge too." Shen Rui muttered in a low voice while looking up cautiously at the two frozen figure, he is wondering if they are going to get mad or agree.
