In a certain sense, Leng Zining has a bit of an Oedipus complex. When he was a kid, he clung to Xia Yuxun like crazy, practically couldn't take a single step away from her. He always looked indifferent about everything, but the moment anyone said a single bad word about his mommy, those sharp little claws of his would come right out. That kid was lazy even back then—clearly born with an extremely lazy streak—yet for no reason at all he loved trailing after Xia Yuxun everywhere. Let there be the slightest drizzle or a flash of lightning and he'd stick to her and refuse to let her leave.
As he grew older, that attachment got buried deeper and deeper, so outsiders could hardly tell, but it never escaped the eyes of his family.
This time, for Xiaobai's happiness, Xia Yuxun left home for the first time for such a long stretch. From the moment she came back, Leng Zining started circling around her at all times like a little rice ball.
