like a dog

Near five o'clock, the shops on the street are also popular.Lin You went to the shade of the tree and opened the car door. The air conditioner in the car was still on.He handed the co-pilot a can of herbal tea and put on his seat belt.

"My dad..."

"It's pretty good, but it's a little thinner, a little haggard, and I'm worried about your affairs and can't eat, but it's not to the point of being mad." Lin You put on Yu Qi's seat belt with a cold face.

Holding the can of herbal tea, Yu Qi silently lowered his head.

"I didn't want to make him angry, I just wanted to..." Yu Qi faltered, and after he calmed down, he couldn't tell what he was making a fuss about when he ran away from home this time.He was very clear about how Yu Wen treated him, but that night when he was talking about filling out the application, he got angry for no reason, and talked back to him for the first time in 18 years.

"I asked him what he wanted me to do in the future, and he said whatever. I thought he didn't care about me at the time. After all, I was just... If it was Brother Lin Xun, Dad might not say that. He probably would Tell him, you can study finance and law. Maybe I won’t like those majors, but at least he has thought about it.”

"When did you know?"

Yu Qi glanced at Lin You blankly, and said sullenly: "I had a car accident in the second year of junior high school. I was hit by a Buick when I was riding a bicycle at an intersection. I broke my leg and bled a lot. There was not enough blood, and in the end my dad gave me a lot of blood transfusions. Blood transfusions are not allowed between immediate family members, and I knew then.”

Yu Qi looked at Lin You with red eyes and said, "But in my heart, I just see him as my biological father."

Lin You patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's not that he doesn't care about you, he just wants you to do what he likes. You are going to college, and he is more nervous than anyone else. He asked me for a lot of money that Lin Xun used before. To be honest, when Lin Xun took the college entrance examination, he didn't ask so many questions. I didn't bother you brother Lin Xun too much. It was only when he was going to report that he knew that the university he was going to attend was in Qingying. "

"You think your dad cares more about Lin Xun, but maybe Lin Xun envies you more." Lin You looked out the window, where leaves and rain fell on the window, "Your dad and I didn't know what to do when he was young. Taking care of people, I want to give him everything that is good, but I don’t know how to give him. When something happened, we didn’t communicate well, and we each used our own methods to save it. The relationship was very tense, and finally we separated.”

"Your father... was originally angry at me for making my own decisions. Lin Xun was obviously closer to him, but at that time he also said that he wanted to leave with me, so he also became angry with Lin Xun and made up his mind not to contact him for several years. I I was not good at taking care of people, and it was useless to know things, he was not here, and for a while, we both didn't even have meals." Lin You said with a smile, but his eyes seemed to fall out of the window of soot.

"In the first few years, I stayed in Xinyang with Lin Xun, but the more I got to the end, the more I wanted to leave. When he was in his third year of high school, I got married again and left him alone in Xinyang I have never fulfilled my father's responsibilities to him, and your father treats him... many times he gets and loses, which hurts more than never getting it. You are much happier than Xiao Xun."

Yu Qi heard Lin You say so much, and wanted to ask a lot, but couldn't say anything, and finally just asked in a low voice: "Uncle Lin, you still like my dad, right?"

"Yes."

Yu Qi couldn't help asking: "Then why..."

"Why did you marry someone else, why didn't you get back together with him, is that what you want to ask?"

Yu Qi was guessed right, blushed in embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry, I just..."

"It's okay," Lin You said with a wave of his hand, "I was also asking myself these questions. At that time, I just wanted to go forward and didn't want to look back. I was walking on the road and saw a light. She was very warm and bright. I just stopped. But one day, the light went out again, and I walked forward alone. The road was long, and I couldn't help but look back."

The sky was getting dark, and the street lamps were turned on. The light was scattered by the lush branches and leaves, and fell on the car, dotted with stars.Lin You looked at these fragmented lights, he said too much today, and he is not a good person to listen to these words in the rest of the day.

But around him, there was no one else who could listen to what he said.

"I just realized that for so many years, there has been a fire burning where I left." Lin You smiled wryly, "But I have gone too far. I want to go back, but I can't go back."

Yu Qi was silent, he seemed to understand what he meant, but also seemed not to understand.The can of herbal tea in his hand was almost scalded by him.He sniffed, his eye circles were still red, but the source of his sadness was unclear.He fumbled for a tissue in his pocket and suddenly remembered something.

"Uncle Lin, I saw Brother Lin Xun when I was in Zhangzhou." Yu Qi took out his mobile phone and searched through the photo album, "Actually, I didn't see it, I saw it in a bar called Xiaoduchuan. Here he is. He was playing the drums on the stage, and I was sitting under the stage. I haven't seen him for a long time, and I wasn't sure at first that it was him. The last time I saw brother Lin Xun, he was still here It’s almost seven or eight years since college.”

"He looks a lot like Brother Lin Xun, but...he's not the same. But later on he laughed a few times on stage, and when I saw his smile, I was sure that was him." Yu Qi flipped In that photo, under the blue and purple lights of the bar, Lin Xun was facing the camera sideways, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

When he laughed, he really looked like Yu Wen.

Lin You took the phone, glanced at the photo, and zoomed in on the person holding the microphone beside Lin Xun.

"Uncle Lin, didn't you say that brother Lin Xun has been abroad?" Yu Qi looked at the screen beside Lin You, "When did he come back?"

Lin You glanced at Yu Qi: "Did you go to the bar?"

Yu Qi hurriedly explained: "It's not...it's not that kind of messy bar, it's a music bar. My friend took me there, and I stayed for a while without drinking. When we paid the bill...it was still from AA."

The more he spoke, the lower his voice was, and his head lowered accordingly.

"Let your dad know, maybe your leg will be broken again." Lin You shook his phone and said, "Do you know how easy it is for a young and unsuspecting Omega like you to be attacked in this kind of place? You Do you want to really piss your dad off?"

"Uncle Lin, don't tell my dad, I will never go to those places again," Yu Qi was about to cry, "I regretted it after quarreling with him that day, I can't make him angry anymore."

Lin You looked at him quietly for a while, then held up his mobile phone and said, "You took this picture?"

Yu Qi choked with sobs and nodded, "Just... just this one."

Lin You broke the phone with a click, threw it on the back seat, opened the armrest box, took out a new phone from it and put it in Yu Qi's hand.Yu Qi stared at Lin You blankly, speechless for a long time.

"Lin... Uncle Lin?"

"Take it as a gift from me in advance. I'll help you hide it from your dad." Lin You clicked on the brand-new mobile phone in Yu Qi's hand, and the thin callus on the edge of his index finger still had not faded. "You haven't been to Odogawa, and you haven't met anyone, is that clear?"

Yu Qi looked at Lin You, it seemed that the lost man just now was not the same person as him at all.Just listening to him speak word by word, Yu Qi almost shivered.But after Lin You finished speaking, he rubbed his hair, and the warmth in his hands seemed to be the same as before.

Yu Qi swallowed his saliva and said, "I know..."

"Stay with me tonight, and wait until you go home tomorrow. You should have figured it out how to tell him these days. Don't make your dad angry, and don't be too stupid to let him give you a beating Think about the school carefully, and call me if there is no one to discuss it." Lin You got on the steering wheel and glanced at the rearview mirror to reverse the car.

"Can't I go back today?" Yu Qi asked while clutching his seat belt.

"You can't go. It's already dark, and it's probably going to rain at night." Lin You turned on the wiper to clean up those unsightly raindrops and fallen leaves.

"When you meet whoever you want, it's best during the day. A day when the weather is clear."
