trans walk

Early the next morning, someone knocked on the bedroom door.

Li Jin gently lifted the quilt and wanted to get up, but Zhong Liang hugged his waist in a daze, "Don't get up...you heard it wrong..."

The housekeeper said, "Mr. Zhong, Mr. Li, Mr. Zhong is here."

Before Li Jin could react, Zhong Liang woke up instantly, put on his nightgown and ran to open the door, "What?"

The butler lowered his head, "Mr. Zhong is in the living room..."

Zhong Liang's mind went blank, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Li Jin with a blank and helpless expression.

Li Jin walked over and hugged him from behind, and said to the housekeeper, "Please ask Mr. Zhong to wait a little longer..."

"Yes." The butler stepped back in response.

After closing the door, Zhong Liang threw Li Jin away, pacing back and forth anxiously and annoyed, with an uneasy expression on his face, "Li Jin...I wasn't even prepared...Why is he so sudden!"

Before Li Jin could answer, Zhong Liang rubbed his hair vigorously, and ran into the bathroom in a hurry.

Li Jin put the slippers by his feet, Zhong Liang didn't bow his head, just reached for them with his toes, and it took him a long time to fully slip them in.

The two stood side by side in front of the mirror brushing their teeth, without the relaxed atmosphere before.Zhong Liang stopped looking at Li Jin from the mirror, but stared at the distorted reflection on the faucet in a daze.

Li Jin knew a lot about the relationship between Zhong Liang and Zhong Hongzhi.Now this villa used to be the place where Zhong Liang and his mother Gao Chun lived, and it was also one of the places where Zhong Hongzhi's golden house hid her beauty.Li Jin didn't know what kind of feelings Zhong Hongzhi had towards Zhong Liang, but his behavior of visiting the door without saying hello must be an offense in Zhong Liang's heart.

Zhong Liang finished washing as quickly as possible, and without caring about Li Jin, he armed himself up and changed into the clothes he was going out with, the short-sleeved shirt buttoned up tightly.Li Jin then changed his outfit, and then caught up with Zhong Liang's footsteps.

Zhong Liang went down the stairs with a sullen face.He knew that he should be gentle with Zhong Hongzhi now, but he couldn't control his facial muscles, every cell was expressing his resistance to smiling, especially in front of this man who came to this house.

Hearing the sound, the man in the wheelchair turned his head.He has a thin body, and his muscles are atrophied due to long-term bed rest, but his whole body is full of energy.His almost gray hair made him look not young, but his eyes were sharp and wise, as if he could read people's hearts at a glance.

The person who used to be only in the news appeared in front of Li Jin in real life. Seeing it with his own eyes, he was indeed somewhat similar to Zhong Liang. When he smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were almost carved out of the same mold.

"Xiaoliang." The man's tone was kind, and he didn't seem to be resolute at all.But there is always an indescribable sense of distance to Zhong Liang.

Zhong Liang pursed his lips, reluctantly called out "Dad", and stopped talking.

Li Jin walked up to the man and bowed, "Mr. Zhong, good morning. It's the first time we meet. I'm Li Jin, and I'm Zhong Liang's boyfriend."

Zhong Hongzhi glanced at him up and down, and kept his smile unchanged, "Okay." He recognized this person. He had heard of this person a little before, and later he asked people to investigate everyone around Zhong Liang, and found out all the details of Li Jin.

Li Jin suddenly had an instinctive intuition, as if the alpha in front of him was using pheromones to fight against him.The identity of Zhong Liang's biological father also put an invisible pressure on Li Jin.He looked at the old man neither humble nor overbearing, but Zhong Hongzhi only waved his hand.

A meal is extremely depressing.The eyes from the side followed like a shadow, observing every move of the two of them at all times, which made Li Jin and Zhong Liang's movements stiff and did not speak.

Li Jin quietly observes Zhong Liang.In the first month after returning to China, Zhong Liang deliberately chose to stay in the same nursing home with Zhong Hongzhi who had just woken up.Zhong Liang often visits Zhong Hongzhi and does his filial piety by his side, only to return to his current status as the vice president of Honghu.

Zhong Liang obviously didn't want to see Zhong Hongzhi, let alone take care of him while he was sick.Li Jin couldn't help but feel distressed every time he recalled Zhong Liang's exhausted appearance.

Zhong Liang never recognized this "biological father" from the bottom of his heart, but called him "Dad", Li Jin didn't know how determined he was.

The two sat facing each other, Zhong Liang didn't even look at Li Jin, just buried himself in the porridge silently, Li Jin couldn't help being a little worried, and put a green tea cake in his bowl.

Zhong Liang raised his head and looked at him, and only twitched the corners of his mouth as a comfort.

Ten minutes later, Zhong Liang put down his chopsticks, got up and walked to Zhong Hongzhi's wheelchair, leaned over slightly and asked with concern, "Dad, why did you come out of the nursing home... What did the doctor say?"

"I'll come to see you, don't worry." Zhong Hongzhi handed Zhong Liang his hand, and the housekeeper standing beside him immediately handed over a cane.He took a step tremblingly, refused the support of several people forcefully, and walked slowly in the living room by himself.

The background of the living room is a huge oil painting, the wind blows the wheat waves, and the snow-capped mountains are looming in the distance.A Western clock with a ceramic case is placed on the cabinet, and the delicate gears inside are clearly visible.The gauze swaying in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sunlight infiltrates hazily, casting graceful shadows on the floor...

Everything is so familiar to Zhong Hongzhi, exactly the same as when she left, and has not changed for so many years, as if she is still living in a certain corner of this house, poking her head out of the kitchen and saying to him with a cunning smile, "Hongzhi Zhi, you are here!"

The faint smell of lavender pheromones on her body was able to heal all his wounds.She is the Venus who descended into the world, the love of his life... Now, he can finally come back to have a look.

But how did I lose her...It was a stupid decision to hide her here...Fortunately, she left their child behind...

"Ten years..." Zhong Hongzhi sighed with infinite emotion, "Where is she?" The second half of the sentence was to ask Zhong Liang.

Zhong Liang was staring at his hands stroking the wooden carvings, clenched his fists, and restrained his trembling for a long time before saying, "In Country T." He didn't know how sincere Zhong Hongzhi's words were. At this moment, he just wanted to question, she left where were you whenWhy pick her off and let her wither?Now who is showing this hypocritical look?

Zhong Hongzhi only nodded, and followed by Zhong Liang, he walked slowly through the entire first floor, and finally stopped at the bottom of the stairs.His eyes looked up the steps one by one, and there seemed to be very complicated emotions in his eyes.

Zhong Liang held his breath, afraid that he would ask to go upstairs.At that time, I will definitely stop it with all my strength, even if it offends him.He could pretend that nothing happened in the past, and he was looking after Gu Zhong Hongzhi in the nursing home, but the upstairs was Gao Chun's bedroom, and he didn't want the man in front of him to step in, this shameful betrayer!

Zhong Hongzhi just stopped for a long time, and finally tapped his thigh symbolically, giving a signal of compromise. The butler pushed the wheelchair to help him sit down, and Zhong Liang took him back to the sofa.

Li Jin got up and moved to the corner of the sofa, leaving room for the father and son who existed in name only.

"Xiaoliang, how is your health recently?" Zhong Hongzhi put on a kind smile again.

"It's almost healed. Just go back and check it once in a while." Zhong Liang smiled lightly and poured him tea.

"I think you've lost some weight, let's send a team to take care of you. Nutritionist, chef, security..."

"No need." Zhong Liang put the tea in his hand with both hands.

"Don't refuse." Zhong Hongzhi made a final decision.

The topic ends here.

Zhong Hongzhi didn't know how to chat with Zhong Liang, or how fathers all over the world communicated with their children.The eldest son has been disciplined very strictly since he was a child, and Zhong Han became independent early on. In the past, his daily communication was based on work, and he kept a proper distance between superiors and subordinates.The youngest son was lost outside, rarely saw each other, and later separated for a long time.It was hard to find him, but due to various reasons, he could only hide him.

At that time, Zhong Liang had a childish look on his face, but he was already mature in his actions, and his disgust towards himself was revealed in every look in his eyes.Even if he brought the best things in the world to him, he would dismiss them with a strange and alienated attitude.

Goodbye, Zhong Liang has been completely reborn, able to stir up troubles in the business world of City Z, able to use the shares he left behind to manage the overseas market in an orderly manner, and even pose a huge threat to Zhong Han.

It's just that Zhong Han had an assistant from the Shi family who took advantage of his coma to attack Zhong Liang, and his car accident was very similar to Zhong Liang's car accident, the inside story is self-evident.Two sons, the palms and backs of which are full of flesh, one who acts viciously and viciously and has strong backing, and the other whose identity is well-known and disgraceful, even if he is biased, the surface can only let them compete to see who can reach the invisible line first Marking.

Who is the whetstone and who will be sharpened into a sharp knife is still unknown.

Zhong Hongzhi knew exactly what Zhong Liang was thinking.He doesn't think that calling him "Dad" is a real recognition of himself.He wants to get a lot from himself, so he spends all his time in the nursing home to take care of himself. Regardless of Shi Qingyi and Zhong Han's obstruction, he has to stay in front of his bed every day and follow his recovery...It is their hypocrisy. Such a normal state between father and son.Even Zhong Han, who has been by his side since childhood, is the same.

Zhong Hongzhi took a sip of tea, and suddenly turned his gaze to Li Jin who was sitting quietly aside.

"Li Jin."

Li Jin suddenly regained consciousness, and replied, "I'm here."

Zhong Hongzhi smiled, "Don't be nervous."

Li Jin said gently, "Does Mr. Zhong have any orders?"

"Is the work going well?"

Li Jin was only slightly taken aback, then he understood that he had already investigated himself, and said truthfully, "It's pretty smooth."

"How much did Xiao Liang raise?"

As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly froze.

Zhong Hongzhi used an almost condescending tone, judging that Li Jin's company was established with the help of Zhong Liang, implying that Li Jin was with him only for Zhong Liang's money.

Li Jin's Adam's apple twitched, feeling a little annoyed, but he didn't answer.He didn't believe that Zhong Hongzhi didn't investigate his company by the way.But Zhong Hongzhi has a sophisticated and overwhelming aura, which makes him look full of confidence.

"No." Zhong Liang broke the silence, although he was not sure what Zhong Hongzhi meant, "I didn't do anything for him."

Zhong Hongzhi raised his eyebrows, then nodded in satisfaction.

The three fell into an awkward silence again.

When it was close to eleven o'clock, Zhong Liang said, "Dad, do you want to stay for dinner?"

Zhong Hongzhi smiled and waved his hands, "No, I have to go back to eat a nutritious meal, and I have to recover in the afternoon. Xiao Liang, I will see you again in a few days."

"Dad, I'd better go see you." Zhong Liang pushed his wheelchair out, "It's not easy for you to come out." He said and helped him into the car that had been waiting at the door.

Zhong Hongzhi stared at him from the car window for a few seconds, and finally compromised again, "Okay." He moved his gaze past Zhong Liang and Li Jin, moved up, and finally stared at the roof, where there was nothing but the scorching sun of summer.

"I'll wait for you." He closed the window and told the driver to leave.
