C14 (2/2)

”Is this why you feel so bad?”

”The last time I went to his house, I found out that he had been lying in the hospital. He had been blocked and beaten very hard, plus he was in poor health and couldn't even talk because he had never told me about it. If I didn't tell him about it, he probably wouldn't have told me until he was better, he said he really didn't know how long he could hold on, and it would be too difficult for him to wait until this moment. I ran back in tears. I didn't even dare to answer his phone afterwards. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to control myself … ”

At this point, Aunt Cheng's tears started to flow uncontrollably again. Cheng Hanlong passed Aunt Cheng a tissue and he understood what was going on. He carefully patted Aunt Cheng's back.

”Didn't you let Cheng Cheng enter our house because you wanted him to accompany me? I had a premonition that you wouldn't be with me forever. I just don't understand why you never left. ”

”He's still young, and you're not. In my eyes, you're always children. There are always countless places that you need someone to take care of you.”

The room became silent. Cheng Hanlong quietly stared at every item in the room, they were all so clean, neatly placed in a fixed place, he didn't know how long his mother had been running the house and had been running it for 15 years. Cheng Hanlong turned his head and forced a smile at Aunt Cheng.

”Mom, if you don't leave, we will always need someone to take care of us. Independence and independence are slowly cultivated by me alone. I've grown up, so it's only right that I do something for you. Moreover, this matter isn't difficult for me at all.”

Aunt Cheng looked at Cheng Hanlong in disbelief. Cheng Hanlong nodded at him, and Aunt Cheng caressed his hair gratefully.

”You've really grown up. Two years ago, you even made things difficult for a child who was as big as a bean. I really didn't expect you to accept so much now. Actually, I also thought about taking you to Hangzhou, but his conditions aren't what your father can give you. You're used to this place and you don't want to have a new environment, a new family. And your father is here too, and although he didn't do his duty, you are his son after all, and he will still cover you for whatever it is he wants to shield you with. ”What do you think?”

”I won't leave this family. I'm too old to marry my mother, so don't worry!” It's not like we'll be leaving forever. Cheng Cheng and I can go visit you during the winter vacation, and you can also come back when you have nothing to do. Sooner or later, I will have to leave you and live my own life.

”Go back and sleep first. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it tomorrow. You still have to go to school tomorrow!” ”Don't worry, Mom is much better now.”

As Cheng Hanlong started for his room, Aunt Cheng suddenly called out to him, ”Hanlong.” Cheng Hanlong stopped.

”Thank you.” Aunt Cheng told him. Cheng Hanlong nodded and went back into the house.

The moment his head touched the pillow, Cheng Hanlong felt that his tears were about to flow out, but he resisted. All the magnanimity he had just shown had disappeared, leaving behind only heartache and helplessness.

He really had to leave? I agreed so readily? Why should I? I have only one true relative left, only one mother in fourteen years, and she was only gone for a short time, even a few days, but from now on, even if she comes back for a month, she will come back, because she no longer belongs here, she will have a new family.

Cheng Hanlong tried his best to restrain himself. His body curled up like a shrimp and he closed his eyes until daybreak.
