The young man touched the chopsticks on the dining table and fell into silence.

"Why don't you eat?" The mother seemed to notice the boy's pause, and said gently: "These are the same ingredients you ate before, and they taste the same as before. The vegetables my mother bought today are not too fresh, so I will leave them to my mother to eat by herself.

You are still growing, I will not let you eat those non-nutritious things..."

"I know." The young man said expressionlessly, "I just stayed at home for too long and wanted to go out for a walk."

"Why do you have such thoughts again?"

Mom's voice sank slightly, as if she was a little angry: "Didn't I tell you that it's very dangerous outside? Isn't it good for you to stay here and mom will take care of you every day?"

It's dangerous outside... The boy's mouth twitched slightly. The most dangerous thing is at home...

He said: "It's good to have my mother take care of me, but staying at home every day is not an option. I just go out and play for a little while..."

"How many times have I told you that it's very dangerous outside, very dangerous! Why can't you understand!" My mother's voice suddenly became sharp and angry.

Perhaps he was too excited, and the boy felt that his mother's saliva splashed on his face.

He reached out and wiped it off, it was sticky and wet.

Seeing that his mother was losing his temper, the boy quickly said: "Mom, don't be angry. I just stayed at home for too long and I'm a little bored."

"Boring?" Mom said with a slightly confused voice, seemingly lost in thought. After a long time, her voice returned to gentleness and said, "Xiao Shen, do you need playmates? Mom will go find some for you later."

The boy quickly said: "No, no, no, mom, I just want to relax by myself. I don't need playmates. I hate being with others!"

"Yes, people are very troublesome..." Mom said to herself.

While they were talking, suddenly, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the small building.

"Another lost person who broke his rope?" The young man was startled for a moment, then sighed slightly.

"Not this time..." came the mother's voice, which restrained the gentleness she used to treat teenagers, and instead had a strange coldness.
