"Mom, I'll say it again. I'm not his son, and he's never really treated me as his son. I was born Mu Chen. I'll still be Mu Chen in the future."
Mrs. Bai suddenly quietened down.
Bai Chen did not speak for a long time. After about half a minute of silence, Bai Chen asked, "What are the chances of survival after falling into the sea?"
Mrs. Bai asked in a puzzled tone, "Why are you so concerned about Shao's life and death?"
Suddenly, Mrs. Bai seemed to have thought of something and her puzzled tone became very surprised. "You're already 25 years old and haven't properly fallen in love. Don't tell me you're gay?"
Bai Chen: "…"
Mrs. Bai sounded even more surprised. "You've taken a fancy to that Shao?"
Bai Chen: "…"
The atmosphere was quiet for a few more seconds. When Mrs. Bai spoke, her tone became a little clipped. "It's your freedom to like men, but if you really fancy that Shao, unfortunately, he probably won't be alive."
