cold flame

From before, Mother Lin always felt that her son-in-law was very kind to her son.

Gao Wenxuan's participation and assistance are often involved in paying close attention to studies, prudent guidance in career selection, and daily trivial matters and unexpected accidents in life.When Lin Mo was in high school, the two families did not communicate frequently. Mother Lin felt that her son-in-law only treated her son as a younger brother. When Lin Mo went to college in other places, he rarely came home. OK.

It wasn't until Lin Mo came back from City A after graduation that everything changed.

As for when this change started, Lin's mother didn't know. She only recalled Gao Wenxuan and Lin Mo's relationship in the past half a year, and realized that things were going on right under her nose.She had seen Gao Wenxuan pick up and eat the fruit that Lin Mo took a few bites without any scruples, and she had also seen Gao Wenxuan gently touch Lin Mo's head when comforting him.

Once she deliberately ignored the other party's habitual words and deeds, and the tenderness in her eyes, thinking that it was just an intimate act between brothers. Who knew the hidden truth was unimaginably absurd and heavy. She was shocked by this It was a violation of ethics. The moment Gao Wenxuan and Lin Mo embraced each other just now, it felt like the sky was about to collapse.

At this moment, Mother Lin suddenly recalled one thing.At the beginning of spring this year, I chatted with my sister at a relative’s banquet, and learned that the little nephew bit the neighbor’s child’s mouth. At the time, the sister said that the little nephew told her that he learned it from Brother Wenxuan. , Don't take it seriously, now it seems that there are traces to follow.

Otherwise, what was she seeing through the slightly open neckline of her son when he leaned over to pass the water?The red marks on the collarbone and below the collarbone, like a sharp knife shining with cold light, stabbed her eyes, and pierced hard in the heart that was trying to deceive herself.

Lin's father was at school during the day, and Lin's mother took advantage of this time to ask for leave from the unit, and decided to talk to Lin Mo who went to work at the company in the afternoon.She tossed and turned all night last night, closing her eyes and thinking about that incident, the picture she saw with her own eyes was lingering in her mind, she was depressed, and she couldn't talk to her husband hastily, she knew Father Lin's temper very well However, if he found out about his son and his son-in-law, there would be no room for relief.

Mother Lin thought a lot before walking towards her son's room with difficult steps.

"Momo, are you taking a nap?" She knocked on the door twice before turning the handle.

When I opened the door, I saw Lin Mo sitting in front of the desk and putting down his cell phone. Mother Lin closed the door and stared at him. There was no emotion on her face. She moved her pale lips and asked, "Who are you talking to?" Where's the phone?"

"A friend." Lin Mo replied casually. He noticed that his mother was in a low mood today, so he said, "Mom, are you still feeling well? I'll take you to the hospital."

Mother Lin didn't pay attention to this sentence, and sat down on the edge of the bed facing him, trying to keep her voice calm, and asked, "Are you talking on the phone with Wenxuan?"

Lin Mo had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he still nodded, "He told me about Xiaobai."

"Xiaobai? It's the dog you raised at his house..." He said with a sigh, "If you like it, you can take it back and raise it. As long as Mom doesn't touch the dog, it's fine, and it doesn't matter if I'm allergic or not. You are happy, how can a pet mother stop you from raising it."

Lin Mo lowered his eyes, listening to his mother's intermittent words, and remained silent.

"Mom is just afraid that you like what you shouldn't like, and do things you shouldn't do..."

Lin Mo raised his eyes when he heard the words, looked directly at his mother who was insinuating, and said, "Mom, just speak up if you have something to say."

Before she could say a word to the point, her eyes turned red instantly. With a trembling voice, Mother Lin asked word by word: "Momo, tell mom the truth, are you... are you with Wenxuan..." The following words Being choked up and buried, it is really hard to speak.

This moment has come, knowing that there will be such a day, but he does not want to come in such a hasty and cruel way, Lin Mo, who is forced to face it, feels unspeakably uneasy and heavy.

It was like an unknown fear approaching him.

"I know everything." Mother Lin lowered her head, tears streaming from her eyes.

"Mom..." Lin Mo called softly, but didn't know how to continue.

"You were ignorant when you were young, and you always bought new toys when you saw other people have them. There are so many toys in the house that are replaced within two days. Mom will still secretly buy them for you. Before learning the piano, I learned painting, guitar, and taekwondo. You have tried so much to find what you like, no matter how willful or naughty you are, mother will try her best to be satisfied and follow your ideas, but now that you have grown up, you have to know some things...you can't just do whatever you want."

Lin's mother wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, shook her head and said with emotion: "It's not good for my mother, who spoiled you blindly and didn't tell her son that you can't snatch toys that others can't buy, and you don't have to try everything you like. It was only after that that I realized...it was my fault that made you make a mistake."

"No, it's not like that." Lin Mo raised his face that couldn't face his mother, looked at his mother with the same wet eyes, and finally said, "Mom, he and I...we are serious together .”

This sentence is undoubtedly more like a heavy hammer, which made Lin Mu, who was suppressing her emotions, even more excited, her voice raised a little unconsciously, "You are still so young, how do you know what is serious or not, life is not a TV series, not you Just be serious! Momo, why don’t you understand? Why don’t you think about your sister, she loves and takes care of you since she was a child, and treats you so well... If her spirit in the sky knows that you do this, she will be so sad ah."

"How could you say such a thing..." Mother Lin closed her eyes, her tone full of desolation and helplessness.

When mentioning his sister, Lin Mo's heart felt as if his mother had pulled him hard, tears kept falling, and he couldn't say any powerful words except silent tears.

The mother and son were relatively speechless, and there was only a faint sobbing sound in the room, but it was amplified infinitely by the dull air, echoing in Lin Mo's ears, stabbing at him one after another.

"Mom doesn't know how long you've been starting, and I don't want to know so much. I just hope you can wake up now and turn back in time...Momo, before your father knows about it, give up."

"Mom..." Lin Mo was stimulated by those two words, and immediately stood up and knelt at Lin's mother's feet, saying: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I don't want to give up, Mom, don't let me give up, okay, I'm with Wenxuan Together, nothing has changed."

"You child, why are you so stubborn." A pair of red eyes widened, Lin's mother sighed, feeling deeply powerless, "You have hurt two families, your sister, and yourself by doing this. You are still young, and you still have a long way to go, so you can only change if you are willing, so Mom will pretend you don’t know about it and let it pass, but you have to promise Mom that you can’t make mistakes again and again.”

"Son, just listen to Mom..." As she spoke, Mother Lin put her hands on the bed as if crying bitterly, and a few dark tears flashed beside her.

"I can't do it...Mom, I'm sorry." Lin Mo shook his head mechanically, his tone remained firm, begging his mother, "Give us a little time, you and Dad will definitely accept..."

"Don't talk about your father, just being here with me is absolutely unacceptable." The tears on her face were still wet, and Lin's mother knew that there was no hope of admonishing her son, so she said, "You should know your father's character better than me. If you let him Knowing this, he will never tolerate your continued absurdity."

"I've said everything I need to say, you should think about it carefully." Mother Lin stood up as if she had exhausted all her strength, and sighed softly, "What crime did I do..."

In the room, only Lin Mo was left alone, staring blankly at the few teardrops on the bed sheet.

"Why haven't you answered the phone since last night?"

"My throat is a little uncomfortable." Lin Mo walked slowly on the bustling street with flashing neon lights.

"Remember to pour a glass of warm water into the classroom during class."

After the hand injury healed, I returned to the company to resume my job. The company arranged some basic piano lessons in a humane way, and occasionally played part-time vocal music.Lin Mo stretched out his right hand, staring at the palm with no visible scars.

Keenly aware that the atmosphere was not right, Gao Wenxuan said softly, "What happened while I was away?"

After being silent for a while, Lin Mo chose to tell the other party in every possible way, after all, it was a matter between the two of them.

"My mother knows about us."

"So it's this." Gao Wenxuan's tone was not affected in the slightest, and he said, "I originally wanted to tell them when the time was right, but now that I know it in advance, it's really difficult. Does Dad know?"

"He doesn't know, my mother hasn't told him yet."

"When I come back, Momo, I will deal with it. Don't bear it alone. There is a solution to everything. It's not the worst time yet. You just need to remember that I will be with you."

"Okay." Lin Mo replied softly. "When will you be back tomorrow?"

"Leave early in the morning. You should arrive before noon. I'll call you when you arrive."

Lin Mo thought for a while and said, "Just send a WeChat message."

"Row."

Holding the phone, the two of them suddenly didn't know what to say. In the past, Gao Wenxuan was on a business trip, even if he could chat about small things, but at this moment, although they didn't appear too depressed on the surface, they clearly felt a shadow in the sky is pressing down.

Seeing the busy traffic, I only heard a deep voice from the phone, as if comforting as if confessing, "I never thought of giving up, you should know that, right?"

"I only know now."

"It's not too late now. I thought of this moment a long time ago. Although I'm not afraid, I'm a little worried. I'm worried that you want to face it alone and won't tell me or listen to me."

The neon lights in the distance emit gem-like light, bewitching those who have been harmed by reality under the night, Lin Mo affirmed: "No."

"Then it's done, everything must be discussed and decided together."

"Well, I promise you."
