"Why, he asked me why," Leon complained, burying his face in Nona's milky belly, "Isn't it okay for a 12-year-old to be closest to his father? Who feeds me and protects me?" Me, who comforted me, did he lose his memory? If he doesn’t want me to get close to him, then he abuses me! He treats me badly, I’m a fool to get close to him!”

"What's wrong with saying the closest thing? I haven't said me yet," Leon spat "like" on Nona's diaper bag, "And him. If I said it, would he kill me on the spot?"

He thought about the scene of Lu Qing clutching the table knife in shock, and there was a high probability that he would not beat him to death, but commit suicide.

After eating that day, Gu Qing was exceptionally silent and led him to stand by the river for a long time.Gu Qing is usually silent, but he does not refuse others to take the initiative to talk to him. On that day, he refused to talk to others.He stood by the river and stared at the vegetation on the other side of the river motionless, as if there were some rare treasures there.Leon felt uneasy, wanted to escape but didn't dare, so he could only stay by his side... secretly watching him.

There is a person with outstanding temperament in this world. No matter what clothes are worn on him, they are only functional, and will not add to his brilliance, nor will he wear down his impression.The suit is luxurious, but Gu Qing is still Gu Qing, no different from him in white coat or pajamas - just as stern and calm.Leon took out his mobile phone and looked at himself. An ordinary child, not even at the height of his shoulders, was really not a good match.

Compatibility is an important basis for whether a relationship can be blessed.

Gu Qing stood there for an hour, then sent him back to the laboratory.It seems that everything is still as usual, the two are busy with their own things, and chatting when they meet occasionally.He "met" him a few times in the cafeteria, and he had the cheek to often send butterflies to Lu Qing, and Lu Qing would answer, with the same content and attitude.But Leon knew something was different—since that day, Leon hadn't seen him at home.Yulan changed twice, but there was no trace of Gu Qing's return on the third floor. Leon pretended to send clothes to his bedroom, and found that the painting of Christmas Snowy Night was covered with a layer of tulle - Gu Qing only had a long-term Only when I go out will the painting be covered.

How funny, because he said the words "closest" and his 37-year-old dad ran away from home.

Leon rested his forehead on Nona's stomach and rubbed it back and forth desperately.Nona babbled twice, and Suzanne, who came to check with a mask on, said with a stiff face, "You pressed her itchy flesh."

"Oh." Leon lowered his head dejectedly, and then slammed his head on the edge of the bed.

"Hey! Does it hurt?" Susannah held his forehead and rubbed it, distressed: "It's red."

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt." Leon lowered his head again.

"What's the matter with you recently?" Suzanne took off the mask and asked him softly.

"nothing."

"Angry with your father?" Suzanne stroked his hair. "It's true that moving to the United States is embarrassing, but the environment there is not bad."

"America?!" Leon raised his head in shock, "What America?"

"Haven't told you yet? Darcy and I mentioned once that our laboratory will be moving to the United States."

"Are they all busy with this recently?" Leon asked her in a daze.

"Well," Susannah nodded, "the laboratory is too small, and Darcy doesn't have a place for many large-scale experiments."

Leon remembered what Catherine had said to him before, maybe Gu Qing was already planning this matter at that time.

"Will the laboratories be separated in the future?" Leon asked.

"I heard it is."

"Not together anymore?"

"It's not far away, but it won't be in the same building, especially for you, Darcy will have an independent factory. He has prepared a set of workshops for you and Mingyue, and the floor plan has been drawn."

Leon's heart turned cold, and he asked in a low voice, "When was it decided?"

Suzanne recalled it for a while and then said: "Professor Gu has been in contact there since last winter, and it seems that it will be settled in these two weeks."

Leon digested the news, said with a heavy heart, "I'm going back."

"So soon? Didn't you mean to live with me for a month?" Suzanne asked.

"I'll go back and pack up my things, I can't pack up when I leave soon." Leon smiled.

"Then you don't have to leave so late, Professor Gu will arrange it."

"I will collect my things myself." Leon said to her as he packed his schoolbag.

"Then be careful on the road," Susannah said, and suddenly patted her hand. "You are not angry because of this, but why you ran away from home?"

"I didn't run away from home," Leon explained immediately, "Darcy asked me to accompany you!"

Susanna glanced at him, hugged Nona, and said softly, "It's great that you are small, but when you grow up to the size of your brother, you will have more troubles."

"No way," Leon carried his schoolbag on his shoulders, "Let Mingyue help me take my change of clothes to the laboratory."

"Oh, yes, travel. Catherine said to leave next Friday and come back on Tuesday. You should make an agreement with Professor Gu in advance."

"Yeah." Leon nodded, bowed his head and kissed the baby, "Nona, brother is gone."

Coming out of Suzanne's house, the street lights outside were dim, and there were hardly any people on the road.Leon threw his schoolbag on his back and quickly kicked towards the laboratory. He wanted to ask Gu Qing to see what was going on.He bought a new car last month, and he doesn't know if he can bring it to the United States. If he can't, he has to find someone in the community to sell it.He was still a bit reluctant to part with this car. Although the car that Mingyue and he formed together could not deform, it was fast and stable when turning.

He is about to move to the United States. He has lived there for several years, and Celler feels that he is not familiar with it. Except for the restaurants he always goes to and the shopping mall where he attends classes, he still doesn't seem to know much about this town.Just like him and Gu Qing, they were never separated in name, but they didn't know each other very well.His father didn't run away from home because of that trivial matter, he was the one who ran away.His silence may not be because of him, but because of the decision about the future.

The green light flashed twice, and the yellow light came on.Lyon was restless, stood up from the seat, and stepped on the pedal to quickly turn around. This was a small gentle slope, and he rode quickly to his favorite tree-lined road.When cornering, he put on the brakes, and suddenly he found that something was wrong with the brakes, and he couldn't squeeze them no matter what.A car in the opposite direction started to move, Leon's heart sank suddenly, he quickly threw away the handlebar, covered his head and rolled towards the sidewalk.

He slammed heavily on the protective bricks beside the road, then heaved a sigh of relief and rolled onto the sidewalk.He felt as if he had broken a bone again, the skin on both arms was burning, and his mouth smelled of blood.The constant honking of the truck was getting closer, and he quickly opened his eyes to see a truck turning left passing over his handlebars without hesitation, and then drove away as if he didn't feel anything .He really didn't have the strength to tell it to stop, and after lying on his side for a few minutes, he touched the stone pier by the roadside and sat down.

Almost died.

Almost died in front of Gu Qing.

If he died before Gu Qing, what would he do when he was old?

There are very few people on this road during the day, and there are no people at night. He used to like this quiet road the most, but now he feels the fear of no one.The wind blows through the leaves, rustling, nocturnal birds make strange throaty sounds, and everything familiar becomes strange.He tried to move his leg, but it didn't seem to be broken, just some scrapes.

He decided to sit a little longer and see if the bike was still on.

There were no cars or people on the road. It seemed that the truck and his bicycle that appeared just now were just dreams. He is also in a dream now. After waking up, he was still lying on his bed at home, startled by the oncoming dinosaur.The wound on my body hurt more and more, and the sweat from the pain fell on it and it hurt even more.Leon couldn't find the phone in his pocket, then saw it shattered near the bike.

He wanted to take care of himself.He misses his father.Why hasn't his godlike father appeared yet?

Leon braced his knees and thought for a while, then he heard the voice he wanted to hear the most: "Leon!"

He who had been in a trance all this time was awakened by Gu Qing's voice.Leon looked in the direction he came from.He ran all the way in a white coat, the hair on his forehead was blown by the wind, revealing his cold eyes.Where there are street lights, he is bright, where there are no street lights, he is in darkness.The light and shadow flowed on his face, like the time the two spent together as they turned over page by page.When he was injured as a child, he also came here in such a hurry, right?Just like he still remembered the time when the pervert wanted to kill him, he rushed back anxiously, calling his name in a low voice.How did he find himself in danger this time?Does he have sensors on his bike too?

Leon wanted to interpret all his actions as paternal love, but he couldn't.Is this how ordinary fathers love their children?Or is it that he doesn't understand the concept of father thoroughly enough, that some unusual fathers would do these things?He is a narrow-minded and greedy person, it's good to be separated from Gu Qing for a while, and come back when he grows up a bit, and comes back when he is more suitable for him.

"Are you injured?" Gu Qing squatted beside him, looking around.

Leon shook his head.

"Can you still talk?" Gu Qing looked up at him.

"Yes." Leon held back his excitement and spit out the word.

Gu Qing nodded, turned his back to him and said, "Come up, I'll carry you."

The back that made his heart beat during the meal arched an arc, and Leon obediently lay down on it.He was sweating so much that even his coat was damp.He held Leon's leg, then stood up slowly, and walked back along the way he came.When passing the next streetlight, Leon saw a drop of sweat dripping from behind his ear. After leaving that streetlight, the sweat might flow into the collar of his shirt in the dark. When the light came on again, he couldn’t see anything.

How much time flies like this, and everything that happens during the period can only be guessed by people?How much did he not say, how much did he not tell him?Even if a devout believer with many scars came here through untold hardships, when he looked out from the edge, he could not see the whole picture of the iceberg. The only thing he could do was to try to get closer.

"Is it bleeding? Just hold on, the car is at the intersection." Gu Qing said to him.

"Dad," Leon hugged his neck tightly with tears in his eyes, "going home?"
