light dark

The glutinous rice cakes that were delicious and smooth just now suddenly became very choking, from the heart to the throat.

Su Cheng put the plate on the table next to him, stretched his neck, shook his head stiffly, trying to comfort the child in front of him.

"The person who always beats you is not Dad."

Xiaoyou's head was completely raised, and a not-so-obvious smile appeared on his honest face.

"Grandma said the same thing."

But the smile disappeared quickly, like an illusion, and the voice was light and ethereal.

"But mom doesn't want me anymore."

His eyes lit up instantly, as if he had overdrawn his exuberant vitality, comparable to the brightness of a small sun in front of him, burning Su Cheng's brain nerves.

There was a faint smell of burning in the air.

All the anxiety, fear and struggle...

Su Cheng's face was so pale that it was almost transparent, and chaotic memories flooded in——

"Mom, talk, I am your little baby, your little orange!"

"Son, Dad is sorry for you. Dad shouldn't be addicted to gambling. Dad promises you, for you and mom, I won't do it anymore."

"Little baby, go to bed quickly, or you won't be able to wake up tomorrow.

"My dad and I specially recorded an alarm for the little one! The little one has to get up obediently when he hears it!"

"Tinkle bells... jingle bells..."

"Son, you are a little man, you have to protect mom with dad!"

"Dad and Mom will always love you!"

in case……

If time goes back and does it again, he will definitely not forget these pasts.

The heart throbbed violently, throbbing and throbbing, and so did the brain.

The eyes were sore and swollen, as if they were about to burn.

Su Cheng groped for the bump on his wrist, he knew he should comfort Xiaoyou, but he didn't know how to do so.

Just like the original self, I didn't know how to face the father who jumped off the building and the mother who went crazy.

So at that time, he would rather forget.

Would rather resent, hate...

The room was extraordinarily quiet for a while, even though there was a fire toast, Su Cheng still felt cold, but it was different from the cold outside the iron gate, this kind of cold seeped out bit by bit from the bottom of his heart.

It seems that every time the heart beats, what is squeezed out is not bright red, but blue.

He knew that it was all regret from the bottom of his heart.

Fortunately, at this time, Aunt Zhao came back tightly wrapped in her coat.

As soon as she entered the room, she found that Su Cheng's expression was not quite right. She was about to ask, but was preempted by Su Cheng.

"Aunt Zhao, what about me...?"

The voice was terribly hoarse.

He thought of Xiaoyou, but didn't say that word.

Aunt Zhao was half a beat slow before replying.

"Should have fallen asleep in the room. When I went out to pick up Xiaoyou at noon, she fell asleep in the room."

"she……"

Su Cheng's voice was completely choked, his throat seemed to be stuffed with cotton, and he wanted to ask "Is she okay", but he couldn't ask.

Aunt Zhao came over, patted Su Cheng's shoulder comfortingly, and stretched out her hands to rub in front of the fire.

"Xiu Ping spent three days in the hospital on anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs. Although she didn't have an operation, she looked much better. But you, what are you?"

She pointed to Su Cheng, looking back and forth between his hospital gown and the gauze on his head.

Su Cheng shook his head.

"It's okay, there was a little accident. By the way, can I trouble you to go to the hospital with me tomorrow?"

Tomorrow, I will take my mother to the hospital for surgery.

I was afraid that it would be inconvenient to take care of me as a man after the operation, but when I thought that Aunt Zhao was still carrying a child, I hesitated again.

Aunt Zhao didn't think too much, she nodded in agreement, but still looked at Su Cheng worriedly.

"you……"

Are you going to do something bad?

She wanted to ask this question, but she thought of all the bad things in the past and her misunderstanding of Su Cheng for so many years, and she couldn't ask anyway.

Aunt Zhao thought about it, but in the end she didn't ask anything.

"Sit down, Xiaoyou, come on, grandma will take you to bed."

Little Merit nodded, followed into the house, and looked back at Su Cheng.

"Can you be my brother in the future?"

Su Cheng was taken aback.

Aunt Zhao was also stunned for a moment, seeing Su Cheng in a daze, she leaned into Xiaoyou's ear and said a few words, coaxing Xiaoyou to sleep.

Su Cheng was still distracted, he didn't quite understand what the child said "be my brother".

Do you want one more person to protect yourself?

He has no brothers and sisters since he was a child, his parents gave him enough love, and he never felt that he still lacked any brothers and sisters.

And then... and then, Su Kaiwei was gone, and whatever he wanted, he would ask for it with his fists.

When I get older, I can earn money, so I will work hard to earn money.

He never thought about what would happen if he had an older brother.

But thinking about it now, if he had an older brother at that time, would Su Kaiwei not have gambled, would not have owed a huge amount of usury, and the usury would not have come to the house to cause trouble.

Or, everything before has still happened, but I still have an older brother, so, will my life be better?

"Xiaocheng?"

Su Cheng recovered from his chaotic thoughts and found that Aunt Zhao was looking at him worriedly.

"Is Xiaoyou already asleep?"

Su Cheng smiled at Aunt Zhao, indicating that he was fine.

Aunt Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, moved a small stool and sat beside Su Cheng.

"After all, I was still a child, and I was so tired after traveling in cars and planes during the day. As soon as I touched the bed, I fell asleep."

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands apologetically.

"I'm sorry just now, what that kid Xiaoyou said must have troubled you."

Su Cheng shook his head.

Aunt Zhao rubbed her eyes.

"Xiaoyou's life is hard, so I want to have an older brother, probably because you feel kind..."

"That... he, his father often beat him?"

These, from Xiaoyou's few words, Su Cheng has guessed some clues.

It's just that he didn't expect things to be more disgusting than he thought.

Xiaoyou's surname should have been Chen, and she was born in the second year after Wang Lina got married.

At first, Aunt Zhao wanted to help take care of the children, but Wang Lina refused because she didn't need an extra mouth to eat.

Therefore, Aunt Zhao saw Xiaoyou for the first time from birth to this afternoon.

Speaking of which, Xiaoyou is really pitiful.

When he was just born, the man saw that it was a boy, and he doted on him for a while.

It's just that the child grew up gradually, and the more the man looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Leaving aside Wang Lina's character, she is quite pretty, she is small and delicate, and the man is also lean, but Xiaoyou grows thicker and thicker, not like the two at all. man's child.

But the child came out of Wang Lina's stomach under the supervision of a doctor.

Since it is impossible to report an error, there is only one possibility.

This child is not from the man's side at all, but from Wang Lina who stole his life.

At the beginning, the man was just suspicious, without any definite evidence, Wang Lina insisted that the son belonged to them.

This dragged on for two years.

The man felt more and more wrong, and proposed to do a personal appraisal. Wang Lina also refused because it would cost too much money and it would not be good to spread the word.

The man just endured it all the time, but he had doubts in his heart.Naturally, it is impossible to be sympathetic to children.

Wang Lina's husband beats children at every turn.

The man didn't even bother to take care of it.

And Wang Lina felt that it was normal for boys to be beaten.

Who hasn't been beaten when they were young, and it's not like they were beaten to death.

Things just dragged on like this.

Until half a month ago, the man caught Wang Lina having a private meeting with someone.

This time, cold water poured into the frying pan and completely fried it.

The family was in a turmoil.

Later, Wang Lina ran away with someone.

And the man didn't want to ask for Xiaoyou at all, so they called Aunt Zhao.

To put it bluntly, if you don't pay, you will be kicked out.

Anyway, this child has nothing to do with their family, and they have eaten their food for so many years in vain. They are already merciful, and they don't care about Aunt Zhao's child support for these years.

Aunt Zhao had no choice, and Wang Lina's cell phone couldn't get through, so she had to find someone everywhere to find out how to get the child back.

Later, someone told her that she had to pick her up by car, or she could only take care of the plane.

City A is more than ten hours away from City F by car, and Aunt Zhao thought that she still had to take care of Chen Xiuping.

Gritting her teeth, she paid the man 2000 yuan for the air ticket.

As a result, the man took the money, but said it was not enough, and said that he had to pay a handling fee for the custody.Aunt Zhao didn't understand either, but thinking that she had paid a sum, she gritted her teeth and paid another 1000 yuan.

They want to ask for more, but Aunt Zhao really has no money.

Seeing that there was really no money to be had, they ruthlessly agreed to let him go.

Su Cheng listened quietly to Aunt Zhao's murmur, but felt a nauseating feeling in his heart.

He knew that he was not a good person, but people like Wang Lina and the man still made him feel sick.

In front of Aunt Zhao, it was hard for him to say anything.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhao herself was very calm.

"Do you think it's disgusting? In fact, I think so too."

Su Cheng pursed his lips, wanting to comfort Aunt Zhao, but he really didn't have this skill, he was hesitating when he heard Aunt Zhao start swearing.

"Actually, I've always known what kind of virtue Wang Lina is, but as a mother, I thought she was an adult when she married someone. With her own family, she would always know what security is. How could she know..."

Aunt Zhao let out a sneer from her nose, she didn't know if it was for herself or those people.

"When the bastard grows up, he can only be a bastard. Even if the eggshell is missing, he is still a bastard."

Su Cheng bit the inner wall of his mouth, he really couldn't say these words.

And seeing Aunt Zhao's scolding vigor, I'm afraid I don't need to comfort myself.

He then thought of himself, although it looked miserable, but at least, whether it was Su Kaiwei or Chen Xiuping, they all loved him sincerely.

Although Su Kaiwei was addicted to gambling and owed a huge amount of usury, a perfect family was torn apart.

But in the end, he chose to jump off the building at least to protect himself.

Even before, he never even said serious things to himself.

I have always loved myself.

Even if he made a huge mistake, he has... used his life to make up for it.

Even my mother never abandoned herself.

It's just God's will, but it was not too early or too late, and Su Kaiwei's light leap just landed on her feet.

Anyone who encounters such a thing can't stand it!

So mother is crazy...

Maybe that's not crazy.

That's just the same as the original self, choosing a way that doesn't have to face the cruel reality.

He is unfortunate, but also lucky.

The resentment and hatred in his heart for so many years.

The sticky darkness he thought he was in turned out to be because he had blindfolded himself.

After thinking about this, Su Cheng felt a warm current in his heart, which slowly flowed through his limbs.

His life is not radiant, but there are also traces of setting sun.

This has been very...very good.
