i really like you
Chapter 65 I Can't Let Him Go
Tang Yuan pressed the answer button without thinking, and the moment he got connected, he was shocked and hung up in a hurry.
The phone rang again, and he turned it off helplessly, his shoulders trembling.
Tang Yin saw all this scene in his eyes. He was about to comfort his son when his cell phone rang. If it rang, it might be his secretary.
As a result, when I saw the call, it turned out to be that person.
This is determined to court death.
"Son, do you think I can answer it?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, "If I don't answer it, the landline downstairs will ring later."
Tang Yuan opened his mouth and said something in a very low voice, which Tang Yin heard clearly.
My son said, I don't want to put a load on his heart.
Tang Yin said, "Then I'll hang up."
After the words fell, the child on the sofa rushed over and took his mobile phone away.
Tang Yuan clutched the phone tightly, as if he had caught half of his life, and his voice was trembling, "Dad, I think I'd better answer it, if I don't answer it all the time, he will worry about me and his heart will be very upset Comfortable, I... I don't talk, I listen to him. "
Without waiting for his dad to respond, he ran into the bathroom to answer.
Pei Wenjin on the other end was in the hospital, and there was an empty corridor under his feet. There was no one around, and there was an echo when he spoke. He listened to the shallow breathing on the phone, and a soft light appeared in his tired eyes, "Are you back?"
Tang Yuan didn't make a sound.
As if telepathic, Pei Wenjin guessed his thoughts all at once, the soft light in his eyes diffused, overflowed from the eye sockets, and covered the entire face.
Both sides are very quiet, and the sound of each other's breathing can be heard clearly, as if the two are spending time together, rather than being separated by several cities.
Tang Yuan slowly squatted down on the ground, leaning his back against the door panel.
Pei Wenjin said in a low voice, "I want to hear your voice."
Tang Yuan held his breath.
"It's not as serious as your father said," Pei Wenjin comforted, "I just had a little heartache at that time, and I'm fine now."
There was still no sound from the other end, and his breath became chaotic, tearing his throat and calling the boy's name, "Xiao Yuan."
Tang Yuan felt that those two words turned into thin needles and pierced into his heart through the space. The dense stinging pain made him breathless, "Liar, you fainted from the pain, isn't it serious?"
Pei Wenjin fell silent.
The sudden silence made people despair, Tang Yuan was in a trance, and didn't know what he was talking about, "If I went home by myself that day, it would be fine if I didn't call my dad, so you wouldn't come to pick me up from school."
Pei Wenjin's breathing became rough, and there was a hoarse voice that had been sandpapered in his throat, "What did you say?"
Tang Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes were sore, "If I had known I would not go back to my hometown with you, if I didn't go back with you, your father wouldn't be suspicious, and the matter wouldn't develop to this point, why would I be like that? Accidental? I should have paid more attention, I was too careless."
Hearing the young man's incoherent self-reproach, Pei Wenjin closed his scarlet eyes. He thought that he had counted everything, but he was slapped by God, "You can't do anything else, you take care of yourself." yes, huh?"
Tang Yuan's voice was a bit paranoid, and he repeated over and over again, "I regret it, I really regret it."
Pei Wenjin's heart skipped a beat, "What do you regret?"
Tang Yuan woke up suddenly.
"Let me ask you," Pei Wenjin grabbed his heart with one hand, panted heavily, and said in a cold voice, "What do you regret?"
Tang Yuan said nervously, "Take a deep breath, ah, take a deep breath, hurry up!"
Listening to the unsteady breathing on the phone, he trembled, "I'm talking nonsense, I just feel, I just feel that I don't know what to do now, I feel like I can't help anything, my mind is too messed up."
Pei Wenjin's face was pale and pale, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and he moved his bloodless thin lips, "No one wants to see such a thing happen, my father's matter has nothing to do with you, don't blame yourself, then It was just an accident, not your fault."
Tang Yuan lowered his head sadly.
Pei Wenjin said, "My dad still has some operations to do. I can't go back for the time being. I have to take care of him here."
Tang Yuan wanted to ask, what about me?can i find youBut he didn't dare to ask, he unconsciously said, "Auntie, how is it?"
After asking, he slapped himself a lot.
The youngest son died in a car accident in his early years, and now his wife is paralyzed. The eldest son, who carries all the hopes of the family, has fallen in love with the same sex.
Of these three things, even one of them can't be handled casually, let alone all three of them.
Can you?Why are you asking such a stupid question?Tang Yuan was overwhelmed, and slapped himself again, even harder than the previous one, not to mention his face was swollen, and there was tinnitus.
Pei Wenjin's expression changed when he heard the noise, "What are you doing?"
Tang Yuan lied, "Slap the mosquito."
The corners of Pei Wenjin's lips twitched, and he didn't expose him, but said seriously, "No matter what others say, don't listen to your heart, don't believe it, just listen to me, trust me."
Tang Yuan hummed, and said with a strong nasal voice for a while, "No matter what the result is, you have to tell me, tell me yourself."
There was unconcealable crying and uneasiness in these words, which I couldn't hide.
Pei Wenjin froze for a moment, then he lowered his head and rubbed his fingers, and said, "Okay."
Tang Yuan heard Pei's mother's voice, calling his son, his throat suddenly became dry, "Hang up, you can go to work."
Pei Wenjin on the other side shouted, "Xiaoyuan."
Tang Yuan heard Pei's mother's voice again, it was clearer, a little hoarse, his hands trembled immediately, and he pressed the phone subconsciously.
Taking a deep breath, Tang Yuan stuffed his phone into his pocket, turned on the faucet, splashed a handful of water onto his face, and then another handful. It was summer, and the water was cold, but not ice-cold. It's all over the face.
The water flowed down from the forehead, and when it reached the eyes, it mixed with some warm liquid, and he wiped it into the pool together.
Tang Yuan opened the bathroom door and almost ran into his father who was leaning against the door. He walked aside, his chin was dripping, tick-tock, and his face was pale.
The floor was dirty, there were water spots all the way, Tang Yin was not angry, he lazily said, "There are only two results, either he persuades the family to accept your relationship, agrees with you to be together, treats you as half a son, Either he was persuaded by his family..."
Tang Yuan's figure stopped suddenly, "Stop talking."
"He was persuaded by his family that he would naturally marry a wife and have children. For peace of mind, the old couple will definitely let him get married as soon as possible, the sooner the better." Tang Yin looked at his son's stiff back, "Speaking of it, 29 years old is not too young , your dad and I are at your age, and you ran around upstairs and downstairs."
Tang Yuan wiped his face heavily until it turned red and painful, and he left the study room without looking back.
Tang Yin didn't chase him out, he sat back behind the desk, picked up the remaining bayberry on the plate, and ate slowly.
After a while, the son left and returned.
Tang Yin looked as if he had expected it long ago, and ignored him. He just swept his son's red and swollen face from the corner of his eye, and cursed at his secretary in his heart.
Scold God when it's over, what kind of shit arrangement did you make?
Tang Yuan rummaged through on the desk, but did not find Pei Wenjin's father's treatment report. He lowered his eyes and sorted out all the messed up documents, "Dad, how is Uncle Pei doing now? He can be cured if he is paralyzed. ?"
Tang Yin rolled his eyelids, and said, "Son, you got the address wrong, you should call Pei Wenjin uncle, and his father..."
Tang Yuan picked up a stack of documents and threw them back on the table vigorously, making a "bang" sound.
Tang Yin's complexion was dark, who the hell is used to this?
Tang Yuan sorted out the documents again, and looked at his father unblinkingly, with a terrifying stubbornness.
Tang Yin couldn't eat red bayberry anymore, he pressed the twitching sun, "Pei Wenjin's father was not in good health, and he has been in the intensive care unit since he came out of the ICU. He has not stopped the treatment, and he still needs to undergo this operation and that operation." , The high medical expenses are just worse for ordinary families, and they are left to their fate."
"However, Pei Wenjin usually has no spare time activities other than work, and has a lot of savings, so there is no problem with medical expenses for the time being."
Tang Yuan's eyelids twitched, that man had a congenital disease, and he was always taking medicine, so the expenses were not small. He pinched his palms, thinking about something.
Seeing his son's behavior, Tang Yin knew what he was up to, and said with a cold snort, "Don't send him money, he won't ask you for money, and he doesn't need it, so don't bother."
Tang Yuan's mind was seen through, and he did not deny it, "Dad, can you find an expert?"
Tang Yin refused without hesitation, "Not good."
"What's wrong?" Tang Yuan's eyes turned red anxiously, "Pei Wenjin's father is not yet 60 years old, and he is so paralyzed, what a pain."
"In this world, there are few people who enjoy happiness and many people who suffer. It's beyond your imagination. I still want to help each of them?"
Tang Yuan pursed his lips, "It's fine if you don't help, I'll figure it out myself."
"What do you think?" Tang Yin sneered and knocked on the table, "You came forward as the young master of the Tang family, so you used your father's resources?"
Tang Yuan glanced at his father, "Then you want me to sever ties with my family like Xiao Chao?"
"you dare!"
Tang Yin picked up the ashtray at hand and threw it out. Tang Yuan didn't hide, the ashtray brushed his shoulder and flew to the wall, and after a loud crisp sound, it fell apart.
Tang Yuan's shoulder and half of his body hurt when he was rubbed. He gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound, but the muscles on his face trembled in pain.
Tang Yin was extremely angry, but his voice was surprisingly calm, "Look for it, I'll find it for you."
Tang Yuan suddenly raised his head, his red eyes widened from crying, and his face was full of disbelief.
Tang Yin gasped again and again, his face clouded with cloudiness. In the end, he compromised. The compromises in this life were all used on his son, once or twice, endlessly. What he owed in his previous life came to collect the debt.
He picked up a pile of documents on the table and threw them over, roaring violently, "Why the hell did I give birth to such a bastard like you?!"
Tang Yuan stood motionless, happy that his father promised to find an expert, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise, "My mother gave birth."
"Without me providing the seeds, can your mother give birth?"
Tang Yuan muttered, "Didn't you say something bastard? Why are you still rushing..."
Tang Yin's face turned blue and black, "Get out!"
Tang Yuan picked up the scattered documents on the ground, "Dad, thank you."
Tang Yin was neither hot nor cold, "Thank you very early."
"I know Dad, you have a high position and authority, you have many friends, and you are involved in every field." Tang Yuan blinked, "I will definitely find a very powerful expert."
The corners of Tang Yin's mouth twitched unceasingly, he didn't want to wear this tall hat, and he waved his hand as if he was bored even looking at it.
This time Tang Yuan left the study room and didn't turn back. He went downstairs to his room, lying on the bed without moving.
I was physically and mentally tired, but I couldn't sleep.
After lying down for a while, Tang Yuan took out his mobile phone and turned up the volume, for fear that he would not see the man texting or calling him.
Pei Wenjin was in City C, and he blocked all work-related people and affairs. His father was critically ill several times, and he didn't know that his phone ran out of battery. He turned from a working machine to a walking dead.
He does what the doctors and nurses tell him to do. He doesn't know how to think about other things, and he forgets the ability to take care of himself.
Just started recovering today.
What Pei Wenjin had to face every day were his mother's sad eyes and his father's cold expression, every day was no exception. He was used to not showing his face, and no one could see what was going on inside him.
Just like now, my mother stared at him for a long time, trying to see something, but still nothing.
Mother Pei waited for a long time, but she didn't wait for her son to take the initiative to explain the content of the phone call. She couldn't see the name, so she had to ask, "Wen Jin, the child has power in his family. He should know that something happened to our family, right? Have you made it clear?"
There was a piece of jade in Pei Wenjin's hand, and he touched it with lowered eyes, his thin face showed no emotional fluctuations.
Mother Pei looked at the jade, it was green and big, and it was not something that their family would have, "The child gave it to you."
It's not a question, her tone is firm, and she's not stupid. Once many small details are connected, everything becomes clear.
Pei Wenjin said, "This is a token of love from his grandparents. It's a pair. He wears one on himself, and he gave the other to me."
Mother Pei was in a mess when she heard that, "Let's put it down."
"If you can't let it go, you have to let it go, son, your father and I have seen how hard you have worked all these years, and you have managed to make a name for yourself and become a leader. You can't ruin your life because of that child." Fame."
She said with red eyes, "Mom, let me tell you the truth, the child's mother likes it very much, and thought it would be great if it was a girl, but later, mother thought, even if he is a girl, he is worthy of our family." If we don’t go together, we won’t be able to climb high, the difference is too much, we are not from the same world, don’t you think so? Son, just let it go.”
Pei Wenjin pinched the jade pendant, his fingertips turned white, "Mom, I can't let it go."
Mother Pei didn't seem to hear, "Do you remember Chen Xiaowei? From Chenjiazhuang, she was a classmate with you. When you were studying, she came to your house more than once to look for you. Mom happened to meet her last month and chatted with her. Let’s talk, now she works in the same city as you, she is a university teacher, what does she teach, Spanish, yes, it’s Spanish, she looks much more decent than when she was a child, she is very polite, and even asked about you.”
Pei Wenjin repeated, "Mom, I can't let him go."
"You two are the same age, and you are classmates in junior high school, and the two families are also close," Pei's mother said, "You young people are not particular about two people falling in love, and have a common topic? You must have something to talk about with her, no What kind of generation gap will there be, it is still in one place, and it will be very convenient to visit relatives in the future."
Pei Wenjin didn't repeat it again, he just put the jade back around his neck, bent his generous back towards his mother, and lowered his head.
Mother Pei suddenly lost her voice. She saw that there was a small piece of white hair on the top of her son's head, and her eyes turned black. She couldn't stand and took two steps back, "How could it be like this..."
Pei Wenjin said, "I don't know either, that's how it is."
Mother Pei turned to wipe her eyes, "Your heart is not good, and you can't stand it, so just find someone who is pleasing to your eyes and live a stable life. As the old saying goes, it's true to be ordinary, and that child is really not suitable for you."
"Not only the prominent family background, but also his character, too noisy, too delicate, just a young master who was raised by others, you are with him, it's no different from raising a son, and it's still noble You don’t feel tired now, how about a few years later? It’s too much, Wen Jin, forget it.”
Pei Wenjin maintained that pleading gesture, neither moving nor speaking.
Mother Pei was very upset, she simply turned her back, "Even if you don't let go, the child's family will not be happy, you are so much older than him, and our family background is very ordinary, now your father still..."
There was a pause, and the next moment he said sadly, "Wen Jin, your dad can't stand up anymore, he's such a face-saving person, from now on he's going to be paralyzed on the bed every day, unable to take a step, and can't even defecate by himself. How hard would it be to live?"
Pei Wenjin's throat rolled, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Mom, the current medical level is very advanced, and there will always be a way."
"But the medical expenses are too expensive. Living in that ward, the daily room fee alone is several hundred, and we can't afford it." Mother Pei choked up her voice, "Son, why don't we move out of the intensive care ward?"
Pei Wenjin straightened up slightly, raised his hand and patted his mother's trembling back, "I'm here, I'm fine."
Watching his mother go back to the ward, Pei Wenjin took out the medicine bottle, which was empty. He pinched the medicine bottle, leaned his head back against the cold wall, and knocked it over and over again.
The pain gradually spread, suppressing the mania that was running around.
The next morning, Pei Wenjin received a text message from the bank, reminding him that there was a sum of money on the card, and the amount was not small. His expression changed, and he walked out of the hospital building and dialed a number. Before that, the boy's anxious voice sounded from the other end, "I'm sorry."
Pei Wenjin paused, "Why do you apologize?"
Tang Yuan didn't answer immediately, he was both sad and guilty, he remembered something last night.
At the beginning of this year, he asked this man to donate money to do good deeds, and then he was busy with work, so he forgot about it.
Only after this investigation did Tang Yuan know how much he had donated. Even if he didn't take out all his savings since work, he couldn't find it anywhere. The rest was probably spent on medical expenses these days, so where is there left? .
"The money you donated at the beginning of the year, I don't know how many children have been helped, why didn't God write it down for you?"
Pei Wenjin walked out of the hospital, stood on the side of the road and lit a cigarette, and smoked with lowered eyelids, "Maybe the situation would have been worse, many times worse than it is now, because of that donation, God made a big fuss." Mercy, didn't take my dad away."
Tang Yuan was taken aback, "You really think so?"
Pei Wenjin, "Yes."
"As you can see, life is full of surprises. When I donated at the beginning of the year, I never thought that a few months later..."
"Don't talk anymore." Tang Yuan interrupted him, "The money I transferred to your card is not my father's, you keep it, don't give it back to me, and don't use it."
"Really, I earned that money myself. I have participated in many competitions since I was a child, and I have won many prizes, so I saved it all. I didn't check how much I had, so I put it on the card, and I didn't think about it. What do you want to use it for, now use it for your father's treatment, it can be regarded as the greatest value."
Pei Wenjin stood by the side of the road, covered in smoke, covering his face, and he was speechless for a long time.
Tang Yuan was particularly afraid of the man saying thank you to him, and also afraid that the other party would say that he would pay him back. He was so frightened that he was about to say something when he heard a hoarse voice from the other end, "My mother advised me to let go."
He jumped out of bed in fright, almost sprained his feet, and asked calmly, "What about you? What did you say?"
Pei Wenjin said, "At a certain moment, I was shaken. Maybe I let go, which is a good thing for you. From a realistic point of view, there is indeed a big gap between us, in all aspects."
"But?" Tang Yuan's pretended composure also collapsed, his calves wobbled, and he couldn't stand and fell to the ground, leaning against the bed, "Is there a but?"
That voice sounded like a string about to break, as if Pei Wenjin dared to say no, his life would be hopeless.
"But I don't want to let go."
The smoke around Pei Wenjin's mouth trembled, and he curled his thin lips into a smile, "Even if I don't have a young and healthy body, a wealthy family, and can't give you a luxurious life, I still don't want to let it go. If it spreads, I’m sure everyone will point to my nose and say I’m selfish and conceited.”
Tang Yuan laughed, "Secretary Pei, you have to persevere, please persevere."
"As long as you don't run away," Pei Wenjin opened his cigarette, and he repeated the previous sentence, "As long as you don't run away, I can handle the rest."
Tang Yuan looked at his trembling legs and thought, what are you running for, I can't even walk.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Yuan opened his notebook and found the coming out plan on the E drive. He had read it many times last night.
He couldn't figure it out, the plan was carefully written, with good intentions revealed between the lines, why didn't there even be a chance to implement it?
After reading the plan again, Tang Yuan could only understand a truth more deeply, that human affairs are impermanent.
Those four characters will be more profound, and he will cherish the present and what he has even more.
Tang Yuan dealt with work for a while, his father came back, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry to show up, and the affairs of the company were still in his hands.
As a newcomer in the workplace, Tang Yuan still can't perfectly separate work from personal affairs. His mind wanders frequently, and he didn't sleep all night last night, so his efficiency is very poor.
After finishing his work, Tang Yuan lay on the head of the bed, intending to take a nap, but fell asleep unknowingly, and had a dream, a nightmare.
He dreamed that his father took him to a wedding, where he found out that the groom was Pei Wenjin.
At that time, he wanted to run, but he couldn't move. He watched Pei Wenjin get married, and his relatives and friends gave him blessings and applause. To him, it felt like being cut by a knife.
As soon as the picture changed, Pei Wenjin was in the room of his hometown, next to his parents, both of whom had festive smiles on their faces.
There was a cradle in front of the three of them, and there were cries in it.
Mother Pei rocked the cradle, coaxing her and said, "Wen Jin, look at your daughter, she looks so much like you."
Father Pei let out a snort from his nose, "It's just born, it's wrinkled, what can you tell?"
Having said that, he looked at the granddaughter in the cradle without blinking. "
Mother Pei teased the little baby, "Wen Jin, hug your daughter."
Pei Wenjin stretched out his hand to hug, and moved cautiously.
The family is happy.
Tang Yuan woke up with a start. He was lying on the head of the bed sweating profusely, his pupils were dilated and his expression panicked.
When Tang Yin opened the door and came in, he saw his son sitting paralyzed by the bed, as if dead, he frowned, "Did you have a nightmare?"
Tang Yuan was still in shock, unable to make a sound from his throat.
"Let me guess," Tang Yin put the milk on the table, "dream of Pei Wenjin getting married and having children?"
Tang Yuan trembled violently.
Tang Yin pulled out a chair and sat down, stacking his long legs, "It's hard to find four-legged men, but there are three-legged men all over the street. You can get what you want. The elf I found for you last year , he is not the best, what is even better is that as long as you open your mouth, I will send someone to find it for you. Fortunately, you hanged on Pei Wenjin's old tree, which is still a cypress tree that has not bloomed for a thousand years .”
Tang Yuan rubbed his face and regained some sanity. He got up with hands and feet together, picked up the milk and gurgled several sips.
Tang Yin looked at the milky beard around his son's mouth, no matter how childish he looked, he was just a child, his complexion eased, and he sighed in his heart, this is fate.
"Your uncle's work is better than your father's."
Tang Yuan pursed his lips, "Pei Wenjin dug out all the materials by himself. I just took those materials from him and showed them to my uncle."
Tang Yin said, "Dad knows Pei Wenjin's credit. Dad didn't dig out those materials. He is very capable, and he won't lose him. In addition, it takes skill to deceive your uncle, and you have the credit."
After a moment of silence in the room, Tang Yin brought up another matter, "You can't let Li Yue's movie that you invested in come out, I will withdraw the investment, and the rest will be handled by Lawyer Zhou."
Tang Yuan didn't understand.
"The heroine's dance experience is adapted from your mother. There is no such character as your father in the script, so there are deletions." Tang Yin said lightly to his son's astonished gaze, "It's normal that you don't know. Without you."
He squeezed the tiger's mouth, and there was a glimmer of haze in his eyes, "Some of your mother's childhood growth experience, few people know, I have to find a time to treat Li Yue to a meal, and ask who is behind the scenes , maybe an old friend of your mother's."
Tang Yuan put down the glass, "What does Li Yue think?"
Tang Yin sneered, "No matter what she thinks, I can't let that movie appear in front of the public."
After a minute or two of silence, Tang Yuan scratched his head, "Dad, I won't be participating in the art festival in July."
"It's up to you." Tang Yin glanced at his son, "Will you go back to school in the second half of the year? If you do, don't be so decadent. Children of your age are full of energy, high spirits, and full of vigor. Look at you, you're a grown-up!" No matter what, just for an old..."
The son stared back at the last two words, and he pointed to the remaining milk in the cup, "Drink it up."
Every day after that, Tang Yuan was on the verge of collapse. He wanted to receive a call from Pei Wenjin, wanted to hear from him that his father's condition had improved, and his family did not object so much. At the same time, he was afraid of receiving him. Afraid of hearing him say on the phone that he couldn't hold on any longer, he wanted to put it down and let them all be relieved.
Or the news that Pei Wenjin's father was seriously ill, or the news that he was seriously ill.
Either way, it was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Tang Yin was so angry that he couldn't bear to do anything to his son, so he asked Uncle Zhong to bring his servants out of the back mountain to prepare a plot of land for him, and ordered him to plant a few packages of lettuce and lettuce.
I specially found something for him to do, just to divert his attention, otherwise, normal people will become crazy if it goes on like this.
At the end of the month, Tang Yuan received a call from Feng Yu. She said that she was playing with her best friend in City C, and met Pei Wenjin, who was with a beautiful young lady, and they were buying fruit in a fruit shop.
He thought to himself, I promised Pei Wenjin, and I won't believe anyone else's words, so I'll go and have a look.
The phone rang again, and he turned it off helplessly, his shoulders trembling.
Tang Yin saw all this scene in his eyes. He was about to comfort his son when his cell phone rang. If it rang, it might be his secretary.
As a result, when I saw the call, it turned out to be that person.
This is determined to court death.
"Son, do you think I can answer it?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, "If I don't answer it, the landline downstairs will ring later."
Tang Yuan opened his mouth and said something in a very low voice, which Tang Yin heard clearly.
My son said, I don't want to put a load on his heart.
Tang Yin said, "Then I'll hang up."
After the words fell, the child on the sofa rushed over and took his mobile phone away.
Tang Yuan clutched the phone tightly, as if he had caught half of his life, and his voice was trembling, "Dad, I think I'd better answer it, if I don't answer it all the time, he will worry about me and his heart will be very upset Comfortable, I... I don't talk, I listen to him. "
Without waiting for his dad to respond, he ran into the bathroom to answer.
Pei Wenjin on the other end was in the hospital, and there was an empty corridor under his feet. There was no one around, and there was an echo when he spoke. He listened to the shallow breathing on the phone, and a soft light appeared in his tired eyes, "Are you back?"
Tang Yuan didn't make a sound.
As if telepathic, Pei Wenjin guessed his thoughts all at once, the soft light in his eyes diffused, overflowed from the eye sockets, and covered the entire face.
Both sides are very quiet, and the sound of each other's breathing can be heard clearly, as if the two are spending time together, rather than being separated by several cities.
Tang Yuan slowly squatted down on the ground, leaning his back against the door panel.
Pei Wenjin said in a low voice, "I want to hear your voice."
Tang Yuan held his breath.
"It's not as serious as your father said," Pei Wenjin comforted, "I just had a little heartache at that time, and I'm fine now."
There was still no sound from the other end, and his breath became chaotic, tearing his throat and calling the boy's name, "Xiao Yuan."
Tang Yuan felt that those two words turned into thin needles and pierced into his heart through the space. The dense stinging pain made him breathless, "Liar, you fainted from the pain, isn't it serious?"
Pei Wenjin fell silent.
The sudden silence made people despair, Tang Yuan was in a trance, and didn't know what he was talking about, "If I went home by myself that day, it would be fine if I didn't call my dad, so you wouldn't come to pick me up from school."
Pei Wenjin's breathing became rough, and there was a hoarse voice that had been sandpapered in his throat, "What did you say?"
Tang Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes were sore, "If I had known I would not go back to my hometown with you, if I didn't go back with you, your father wouldn't be suspicious, and the matter wouldn't develop to this point, why would I be like that? Accidental? I should have paid more attention, I was too careless."
Hearing the young man's incoherent self-reproach, Pei Wenjin closed his scarlet eyes. He thought that he had counted everything, but he was slapped by God, "You can't do anything else, you take care of yourself." yes, huh?"
Tang Yuan's voice was a bit paranoid, and he repeated over and over again, "I regret it, I really regret it."
Pei Wenjin's heart skipped a beat, "What do you regret?"
Tang Yuan woke up suddenly.
"Let me ask you," Pei Wenjin grabbed his heart with one hand, panted heavily, and said in a cold voice, "What do you regret?"
Tang Yuan said nervously, "Take a deep breath, ah, take a deep breath, hurry up!"
Listening to the unsteady breathing on the phone, he trembled, "I'm talking nonsense, I just feel, I just feel that I don't know what to do now, I feel like I can't help anything, my mind is too messed up."
Pei Wenjin's face was pale and pale, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and he moved his bloodless thin lips, "No one wants to see such a thing happen, my father's matter has nothing to do with you, don't blame yourself, then It was just an accident, not your fault."
Tang Yuan lowered his head sadly.
Pei Wenjin said, "My dad still has some operations to do. I can't go back for the time being. I have to take care of him here."
Tang Yuan wanted to ask, what about me?can i find youBut he didn't dare to ask, he unconsciously said, "Auntie, how is it?"
After asking, he slapped himself a lot.
The youngest son died in a car accident in his early years, and now his wife is paralyzed. The eldest son, who carries all the hopes of the family, has fallen in love with the same sex.
Of these three things, even one of them can't be handled casually, let alone all three of them.
Can you?Why are you asking such a stupid question?Tang Yuan was overwhelmed, and slapped himself again, even harder than the previous one, not to mention his face was swollen, and there was tinnitus.
Pei Wenjin's expression changed when he heard the noise, "What are you doing?"
Tang Yuan lied, "Slap the mosquito."
The corners of Pei Wenjin's lips twitched, and he didn't expose him, but said seriously, "No matter what others say, don't listen to your heart, don't believe it, just listen to me, trust me."
Tang Yuan hummed, and said with a strong nasal voice for a while, "No matter what the result is, you have to tell me, tell me yourself."
There was unconcealable crying and uneasiness in these words, which I couldn't hide.
Pei Wenjin froze for a moment, then he lowered his head and rubbed his fingers, and said, "Okay."
Tang Yuan heard Pei's mother's voice, calling his son, his throat suddenly became dry, "Hang up, you can go to work."
Pei Wenjin on the other side shouted, "Xiaoyuan."
Tang Yuan heard Pei's mother's voice again, it was clearer, a little hoarse, his hands trembled immediately, and he pressed the phone subconsciously.
Taking a deep breath, Tang Yuan stuffed his phone into his pocket, turned on the faucet, splashed a handful of water onto his face, and then another handful. It was summer, and the water was cold, but not ice-cold. It's all over the face.
The water flowed down from the forehead, and when it reached the eyes, it mixed with some warm liquid, and he wiped it into the pool together.
Tang Yuan opened the bathroom door and almost ran into his father who was leaning against the door. He walked aside, his chin was dripping, tick-tock, and his face was pale.
The floor was dirty, there were water spots all the way, Tang Yin was not angry, he lazily said, "There are only two results, either he persuades the family to accept your relationship, agrees with you to be together, treats you as half a son, Either he was persuaded by his family..."
Tang Yuan's figure stopped suddenly, "Stop talking."
"He was persuaded by his family that he would naturally marry a wife and have children. For peace of mind, the old couple will definitely let him get married as soon as possible, the sooner the better." Tang Yin looked at his son's stiff back, "Speaking of it, 29 years old is not too young , your dad and I are at your age, and you ran around upstairs and downstairs."
Tang Yuan wiped his face heavily until it turned red and painful, and he left the study room without looking back.
Tang Yin didn't chase him out, he sat back behind the desk, picked up the remaining bayberry on the plate, and ate slowly.
After a while, the son left and returned.
Tang Yin looked as if he had expected it long ago, and ignored him. He just swept his son's red and swollen face from the corner of his eye, and cursed at his secretary in his heart.
Scold God when it's over, what kind of shit arrangement did you make?
Tang Yuan rummaged through on the desk, but did not find Pei Wenjin's father's treatment report. He lowered his eyes and sorted out all the messed up documents, "Dad, how is Uncle Pei doing now? He can be cured if he is paralyzed. ?"
Tang Yin rolled his eyelids, and said, "Son, you got the address wrong, you should call Pei Wenjin uncle, and his father..."
Tang Yuan picked up a stack of documents and threw them back on the table vigorously, making a "bang" sound.
Tang Yin's complexion was dark, who the hell is used to this?
Tang Yuan sorted out the documents again, and looked at his father unblinkingly, with a terrifying stubbornness.
Tang Yin couldn't eat red bayberry anymore, he pressed the twitching sun, "Pei Wenjin's father was not in good health, and he has been in the intensive care unit since he came out of the ICU. He has not stopped the treatment, and he still needs to undergo this operation and that operation." , The high medical expenses are just worse for ordinary families, and they are left to their fate."
"However, Pei Wenjin usually has no spare time activities other than work, and has a lot of savings, so there is no problem with medical expenses for the time being."
Tang Yuan's eyelids twitched, that man had a congenital disease, and he was always taking medicine, so the expenses were not small. He pinched his palms, thinking about something.
Seeing his son's behavior, Tang Yin knew what he was up to, and said with a cold snort, "Don't send him money, he won't ask you for money, and he doesn't need it, so don't bother."
Tang Yuan's mind was seen through, and he did not deny it, "Dad, can you find an expert?"
Tang Yin refused without hesitation, "Not good."
"What's wrong?" Tang Yuan's eyes turned red anxiously, "Pei Wenjin's father is not yet 60 years old, and he is so paralyzed, what a pain."
"In this world, there are few people who enjoy happiness and many people who suffer. It's beyond your imagination. I still want to help each of them?"
Tang Yuan pursed his lips, "It's fine if you don't help, I'll figure it out myself."
"What do you think?" Tang Yin sneered and knocked on the table, "You came forward as the young master of the Tang family, so you used your father's resources?"
Tang Yuan glanced at his father, "Then you want me to sever ties with my family like Xiao Chao?"
"you dare!"
Tang Yin picked up the ashtray at hand and threw it out. Tang Yuan didn't hide, the ashtray brushed his shoulder and flew to the wall, and after a loud crisp sound, it fell apart.
Tang Yuan's shoulder and half of his body hurt when he was rubbed. He gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound, but the muscles on his face trembled in pain.
Tang Yin was extremely angry, but his voice was surprisingly calm, "Look for it, I'll find it for you."
Tang Yuan suddenly raised his head, his red eyes widened from crying, and his face was full of disbelief.
Tang Yin gasped again and again, his face clouded with cloudiness. In the end, he compromised. The compromises in this life were all used on his son, once or twice, endlessly. What he owed in his previous life came to collect the debt.
He picked up a pile of documents on the table and threw them over, roaring violently, "Why the hell did I give birth to such a bastard like you?!"
Tang Yuan stood motionless, happy that his father promised to find an expert, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise, "My mother gave birth."
"Without me providing the seeds, can your mother give birth?"
Tang Yuan muttered, "Didn't you say something bastard? Why are you still rushing..."
Tang Yin's face turned blue and black, "Get out!"
Tang Yuan picked up the scattered documents on the ground, "Dad, thank you."
Tang Yin was neither hot nor cold, "Thank you very early."
"I know Dad, you have a high position and authority, you have many friends, and you are involved in every field." Tang Yuan blinked, "I will definitely find a very powerful expert."
The corners of Tang Yin's mouth twitched unceasingly, he didn't want to wear this tall hat, and he waved his hand as if he was bored even looking at it.
This time Tang Yuan left the study room and didn't turn back. He went downstairs to his room, lying on the bed without moving.
I was physically and mentally tired, but I couldn't sleep.
After lying down for a while, Tang Yuan took out his mobile phone and turned up the volume, for fear that he would not see the man texting or calling him.
Pei Wenjin was in City C, and he blocked all work-related people and affairs. His father was critically ill several times, and he didn't know that his phone ran out of battery. He turned from a working machine to a walking dead.
He does what the doctors and nurses tell him to do. He doesn't know how to think about other things, and he forgets the ability to take care of himself.
Just started recovering today.
What Pei Wenjin had to face every day were his mother's sad eyes and his father's cold expression, every day was no exception. He was used to not showing his face, and no one could see what was going on inside him.
Just like now, my mother stared at him for a long time, trying to see something, but still nothing.
Mother Pei waited for a long time, but she didn't wait for her son to take the initiative to explain the content of the phone call. She couldn't see the name, so she had to ask, "Wen Jin, the child has power in his family. He should know that something happened to our family, right? Have you made it clear?"
There was a piece of jade in Pei Wenjin's hand, and he touched it with lowered eyes, his thin face showed no emotional fluctuations.
Mother Pei looked at the jade, it was green and big, and it was not something that their family would have, "The child gave it to you."
It's not a question, her tone is firm, and she's not stupid. Once many small details are connected, everything becomes clear.
Pei Wenjin said, "This is a token of love from his grandparents. It's a pair. He wears one on himself, and he gave the other to me."
Mother Pei was in a mess when she heard that, "Let's put it down."
"If you can't let it go, you have to let it go, son, your father and I have seen how hard you have worked all these years, and you have managed to make a name for yourself and become a leader. You can't ruin your life because of that child." Fame."
She said with red eyes, "Mom, let me tell you the truth, the child's mother likes it very much, and thought it would be great if it was a girl, but later, mother thought, even if he is a girl, he is worthy of our family." If we don’t go together, we won’t be able to climb high, the difference is too much, we are not from the same world, don’t you think so? Son, just let it go.”
Pei Wenjin pinched the jade pendant, his fingertips turned white, "Mom, I can't let it go."
Mother Pei didn't seem to hear, "Do you remember Chen Xiaowei? From Chenjiazhuang, she was a classmate with you. When you were studying, she came to your house more than once to look for you. Mom happened to meet her last month and chatted with her. Let’s talk, now she works in the same city as you, she is a university teacher, what does she teach, Spanish, yes, it’s Spanish, she looks much more decent than when she was a child, she is very polite, and even asked about you.”
Pei Wenjin repeated, "Mom, I can't let him go."
"You two are the same age, and you are classmates in junior high school, and the two families are also close," Pei's mother said, "You young people are not particular about two people falling in love, and have a common topic? You must have something to talk about with her, no What kind of generation gap will there be, it is still in one place, and it will be very convenient to visit relatives in the future."
Pei Wenjin didn't repeat it again, he just put the jade back around his neck, bent his generous back towards his mother, and lowered his head.
Mother Pei suddenly lost her voice. She saw that there was a small piece of white hair on the top of her son's head, and her eyes turned black. She couldn't stand and took two steps back, "How could it be like this..."
Pei Wenjin said, "I don't know either, that's how it is."
Mother Pei turned to wipe her eyes, "Your heart is not good, and you can't stand it, so just find someone who is pleasing to your eyes and live a stable life. As the old saying goes, it's true to be ordinary, and that child is really not suitable for you."
"Not only the prominent family background, but also his character, too noisy, too delicate, just a young master who was raised by others, you are with him, it's no different from raising a son, and it's still noble You don’t feel tired now, how about a few years later? It’s too much, Wen Jin, forget it.”
Pei Wenjin maintained that pleading gesture, neither moving nor speaking.
Mother Pei was very upset, she simply turned her back, "Even if you don't let go, the child's family will not be happy, you are so much older than him, and our family background is very ordinary, now your father still..."
There was a pause, and the next moment he said sadly, "Wen Jin, your dad can't stand up anymore, he's such a face-saving person, from now on he's going to be paralyzed on the bed every day, unable to take a step, and can't even defecate by himself. How hard would it be to live?"
Pei Wenjin's throat rolled, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Mom, the current medical level is very advanced, and there will always be a way."
"But the medical expenses are too expensive. Living in that ward, the daily room fee alone is several hundred, and we can't afford it." Mother Pei choked up her voice, "Son, why don't we move out of the intensive care ward?"
Pei Wenjin straightened up slightly, raised his hand and patted his mother's trembling back, "I'm here, I'm fine."
Watching his mother go back to the ward, Pei Wenjin took out the medicine bottle, which was empty. He pinched the medicine bottle, leaned his head back against the cold wall, and knocked it over and over again.
The pain gradually spread, suppressing the mania that was running around.
The next morning, Pei Wenjin received a text message from the bank, reminding him that there was a sum of money on the card, and the amount was not small. His expression changed, and he walked out of the hospital building and dialed a number. Before that, the boy's anxious voice sounded from the other end, "I'm sorry."
Pei Wenjin paused, "Why do you apologize?"
Tang Yuan didn't answer immediately, he was both sad and guilty, he remembered something last night.
At the beginning of this year, he asked this man to donate money to do good deeds, and then he was busy with work, so he forgot about it.
Only after this investigation did Tang Yuan know how much he had donated. Even if he didn't take out all his savings since work, he couldn't find it anywhere. The rest was probably spent on medical expenses these days, so where is there left? .
"The money you donated at the beginning of the year, I don't know how many children have been helped, why didn't God write it down for you?"
Pei Wenjin walked out of the hospital, stood on the side of the road and lit a cigarette, and smoked with lowered eyelids, "Maybe the situation would have been worse, many times worse than it is now, because of that donation, God made a big fuss." Mercy, didn't take my dad away."
Tang Yuan was taken aback, "You really think so?"
Pei Wenjin, "Yes."
"As you can see, life is full of surprises. When I donated at the beginning of the year, I never thought that a few months later..."
"Don't talk anymore." Tang Yuan interrupted him, "The money I transferred to your card is not my father's, you keep it, don't give it back to me, and don't use it."
"Really, I earned that money myself. I have participated in many competitions since I was a child, and I have won many prizes, so I saved it all. I didn't check how much I had, so I put it on the card, and I didn't think about it. What do you want to use it for, now use it for your father's treatment, it can be regarded as the greatest value."
Pei Wenjin stood by the side of the road, covered in smoke, covering his face, and he was speechless for a long time.
Tang Yuan was particularly afraid of the man saying thank you to him, and also afraid that the other party would say that he would pay him back. He was so frightened that he was about to say something when he heard a hoarse voice from the other end, "My mother advised me to let go."
He jumped out of bed in fright, almost sprained his feet, and asked calmly, "What about you? What did you say?"
Pei Wenjin said, "At a certain moment, I was shaken. Maybe I let go, which is a good thing for you. From a realistic point of view, there is indeed a big gap between us, in all aspects."
"But?" Tang Yuan's pretended composure also collapsed, his calves wobbled, and he couldn't stand and fell to the ground, leaning against the bed, "Is there a but?"
That voice sounded like a string about to break, as if Pei Wenjin dared to say no, his life would be hopeless.
"But I don't want to let go."
The smoke around Pei Wenjin's mouth trembled, and he curled his thin lips into a smile, "Even if I don't have a young and healthy body, a wealthy family, and can't give you a luxurious life, I still don't want to let it go. If it spreads, I’m sure everyone will point to my nose and say I’m selfish and conceited.”
Tang Yuan laughed, "Secretary Pei, you have to persevere, please persevere."
"As long as you don't run away," Pei Wenjin opened his cigarette, and he repeated the previous sentence, "As long as you don't run away, I can handle the rest."
Tang Yuan looked at his trembling legs and thought, what are you running for, I can't even walk.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Yuan opened his notebook and found the coming out plan on the E drive. He had read it many times last night.
He couldn't figure it out, the plan was carefully written, with good intentions revealed between the lines, why didn't there even be a chance to implement it?
After reading the plan again, Tang Yuan could only understand a truth more deeply, that human affairs are impermanent.
Those four characters will be more profound, and he will cherish the present and what he has even more.
Tang Yuan dealt with work for a while, his father came back, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry to show up, and the affairs of the company were still in his hands.
As a newcomer in the workplace, Tang Yuan still can't perfectly separate work from personal affairs. His mind wanders frequently, and he didn't sleep all night last night, so his efficiency is very poor.
After finishing his work, Tang Yuan lay on the head of the bed, intending to take a nap, but fell asleep unknowingly, and had a dream, a nightmare.
He dreamed that his father took him to a wedding, where he found out that the groom was Pei Wenjin.
At that time, he wanted to run, but he couldn't move. He watched Pei Wenjin get married, and his relatives and friends gave him blessings and applause. To him, it felt like being cut by a knife.
As soon as the picture changed, Pei Wenjin was in the room of his hometown, next to his parents, both of whom had festive smiles on their faces.
There was a cradle in front of the three of them, and there were cries in it.
Mother Pei rocked the cradle, coaxing her and said, "Wen Jin, look at your daughter, she looks so much like you."
Father Pei let out a snort from his nose, "It's just born, it's wrinkled, what can you tell?"
Having said that, he looked at the granddaughter in the cradle without blinking. "
Mother Pei teased the little baby, "Wen Jin, hug your daughter."
Pei Wenjin stretched out his hand to hug, and moved cautiously.
The family is happy.
Tang Yuan woke up with a start. He was lying on the head of the bed sweating profusely, his pupils were dilated and his expression panicked.
When Tang Yin opened the door and came in, he saw his son sitting paralyzed by the bed, as if dead, he frowned, "Did you have a nightmare?"
Tang Yuan was still in shock, unable to make a sound from his throat.
"Let me guess," Tang Yin put the milk on the table, "dream of Pei Wenjin getting married and having children?"
Tang Yuan trembled violently.
Tang Yin pulled out a chair and sat down, stacking his long legs, "It's hard to find four-legged men, but there are three-legged men all over the street. You can get what you want. The elf I found for you last year , he is not the best, what is even better is that as long as you open your mouth, I will send someone to find it for you. Fortunately, you hanged on Pei Wenjin's old tree, which is still a cypress tree that has not bloomed for a thousand years .”
Tang Yuan rubbed his face and regained some sanity. He got up with hands and feet together, picked up the milk and gurgled several sips.
Tang Yin looked at the milky beard around his son's mouth, no matter how childish he looked, he was just a child, his complexion eased, and he sighed in his heart, this is fate.
"Your uncle's work is better than your father's."
Tang Yuan pursed his lips, "Pei Wenjin dug out all the materials by himself. I just took those materials from him and showed them to my uncle."
Tang Yin said, "Dad knows Pei Wenjin's credit. Dad didn't dig out those materials. He is very capable, and he won't lose him. In addition, it takes skill to deceive your uncle, and you have the credit."
After a moment of silence in the room, Tang Yin brought up another matter, "You can't let Li Yue's movie that you invested in come out, I will withdraw the investment, and the rest will be handled by Lawyer Zhou."
Tang Yuan didn't understand.
"The heroine's dance experience is adapted from your mother. There is no such character as your father in the script, so there are deletions." Tang Yin said lightly to his son's astonished gaze, "It's normal that you don't know. Without you."
He squeezed the tiger's mouth, and there was a glimmer of haze in his eyes, "Some of your mother's childhood growth experience, few people know, I have to find a time to treat Li Yue to a meal, and ask who is behind the scenes , maybe an old friend of your mother's."
Tang Yuan put down the glass, "What does Li Yue think?"
Tang Yin sneered, "No matter what she thinks, I can't let that movie appear in front of the public."
After a minute or two of silence, Tang Yuan scratched his head, "Dad, I won't be participating in the art festival in July."
"It's up to you." Tang Yin glanced at his son, "Will you go back to school in the second half of the year? If you do, don't be so decadent. Children of your age are full of energy, high spirits, and full of vigor. Look at you, you're a grown-up!" No matter what, just for an old..."
The son stared back at the last two words, and he pointed to the remaining milk in the cup, "Drink it up."
Every day after that, Tang Yuan was on the verge of collapse. He wanted to receive a call from Pei Wenjin, wanted to hear from him that his father's condition had improved, and his family did not object so much. At the same time, he was afraid of receiving him. Afraid of hearing him say on the phone that he couldn't hold on any longer, he wanted to put it down and let them all be relieved.
Or the news that Pei Wenjin's father was seriously ill, or the news that he was seriously ill.
Either way, it was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Tang Yin was so angry that he couldn't bear to do anything to his son, so he asked Uncle Zhong to bring his servants out of the back mountain to prepare a plot of land for him, and ordered him to plant a few packages of lettuce and lettuce.
I specially found something for him to do, just to divert his attention, otherwise, normal people will become crazy if it goes on like this.
At the end of the month, Tang Yuan received a call from Feng Yu. She said that she was playing with her best friend in City C, and met Pei Wenjin, who was with a beautiful young lady, and they were buying fruit in a fruit shop.
He thought to himself, I promised Pei Wenjin, and I won't believe anyone else's words, so I'll go and have a look.
