Chapter 99 (2/2)
I turned and went into the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water. I poured him a cup and brought it out. I wrote a line and said, ”there is no tea or drink at home. Drink white water.”He nodded and said thank you, but he didn't look at me. I found that he had a note he Liancheng left for me in his hand, and his eyes were a little red.
He is about the same age as my father. His hair is a little gray. Although his waist is straight, his face is a little old when he takes off his arms occasionally.
He looked at the note for a while before he said, ”I've kept him for 28 years, and I haven't drunk a glass of water he poured.”
I was knocked down by his words, and just now I lost all my strength. Suddenly I feel that the old man is very poor, and I am the culprit.
”I know he's been living with you lately.” He Zelin rubbed the note again and again until it was a little curly. Then he stuck it on the table again and said, ”this is his breakfast. Can I try it?”
His eyes are very red, look at my eyes let me feel sad, so nodded, busily said: ”I go to heat, all cold.”
”No, No.” He held out his hand to protect the small bowl of porridge, two dishes of vegetables and a plate of milk fragrant steamed bread, just like an old hen protecting her chicks in front of an eagle. I suddenly realized that he was afraid that when I got hot, his son would not do it by himself, so he took back his hand.
I handed the chopsticks to him. He quickly wiped them on his eyes with the back of his hand. He picked up the chopsticks and put them into his mouth. It was like eating the most delicious food in the world and chewing them carefully.
I saw that his mood was a little bit oppressive, and he had to keep his face in front of me, so I pushed the paper towel to his hand, and pushed him up to the kitchen to pretend to pack things.
I closed the kitchen door, shut myself in the kitchen, and shut he Zelin in the living room. Standing in front of the window, watching the old man walking out of the Bay downstairs with his children, he was stunned.
Maybe he Zelin is famous in the shopping malls. He is a person that everyone admires. But in family, he is not as happy as ordinary people.
I heard he Liancheng occasionally mention that his biological mother died very early. He should have died of illness when he was twelve. Later, he Zelin's female assistant became he Liancheng's little mother, only 12 years older than he Liancheng.
Because before marriage, the female assistant was very kind to he Liancheng and got he Liancheng's favor. He Zelin also liked this and married the female assistant home.
He Liancheng was rebellious at that time. Seeing that the female assistant married her father with herself as a springboard, she turned into her own little mother. Suddenly, her heart was hurt and she felt that she had been used and cheated. As a result, after the female assistant married into he's family, he Liancheng was against her everywhere. He even got the powerful contraceptive from the boys who played together and put it into his stepmother's postprandial milk, which made the woman infertile all her life.
After growing up, although he Liancheng is not so resistant to the little stepmother, he always has a lukewarm attitude. Although I look at my father's face every day and go home to live, I feel very estranged from them.
He Liancheng once told me that he could not accept a man to remarry after he lost his spouse, especially like his father. Less than a year after his mother died, he quickly married a younger and more beautiful man. It's like... It's like a sudden success.
I can guess what kind of feelings he Liancheng has for his father. He wants to love but hates him. He Zelin has the same feelings for he Liancheng.
I stayed in the kitchen for about half an hour before I made some noise and opened the door.
He Zelin, who is sitting at the dining table, has regained his calm, just like I saw that his red eye circles are an illusion just now.
”Miss Lin, thank you for letting him learn to care about people and love others. Although he may still hate me. ” He said.
I can't speak. I just sit opposite him and listen to him.
”About you and him, I won't change my mind just because I'm moved.” He Zelin regained his wisdom and calmness.
I looked at him and listened to him.
”I think you may hate me very much, think you are true love, and I'm the bad guy who plays with a stick.” He sighed and continued, ”even if you think so, I'd like to be the bad guy. I want my son to have a better future, a better future and a better spouse. ”
I thought about it and wrote a sentence on the paper: ”if you have a way to pull him back, I won't stop him; If he likes me, I won't refuse. ”
He Zelin lowered his head and finally said in an almost imploring tone, ”I want you to rest assured that I will give you enough money to go anywhere for life.”
”Mr. He, what I need is someone who can accompany me all my life. As for whether he Liancheng is this person, I don't know yet. ” I wrote him another sentence.
He used a strict father's position to talk about terms with me. I was moved, but at the same time, I also thought of giving in to make a father's wish come true.But when I think about it, I was tortured in my heart when I was separated from he Liancheng. I feel that I can't hurt myself for others. I am still a selfish person after all. So I hesitated for a long time to say this.
Like the word I thought of this morning, maybe I really love him.
If so, I am not willing to let go and give in. I don't want to spend the rest of my life as boring as these three years.
Now I know what it's like for someone to care, to care and to feel painful. So I'm addicted to it, just like taking opium. I'm addicted to it
