born of love

"So poor, it seems that life is going well recently." Bai Yuan sneered, his voice was as small as a mosquito, "Has your mother accepted Yu Xiaotong?"

"It doesn't count as acceptance, but it doesn't count as objection either," Zhang Ningchen knelt beside him and massaged his overstretched arms, "but it's safe and sound, so I'm content."

"She's feeling better recently?" Bai Yuan felt relieved after being pressed comfortably, "Would you still have the operation you said she would have before the New Year?"

"It's better, but it's not recovered enough to be able to undergo surgery," Zhang Ningchen sighed, "It means that you can barely walk a few steps without using a wheelchair. If it's too cold or too hot, you can't stay outside for too long."

"Then what should I do?" Bai Yuan asked, "If you don't have surgery, you can only rely on medicine to maintain it, can you control it?"

"For the time being, there is no problem, but in her state, my teacher said that she should still rest in bed and wait for the source of the heart. I just don't know how long this wait will be."

When Zhang Ningchen mentioned this matter, it gave her a headache. Although she is a mum, her job is to deal with patients all day long, but she is still a patient when she returns home, and Yu Xiaotong is a sensitive person. I was so tired that I couldn't find a place to let it go. After a long time, I felt that I was about to suffocate depression.

"Ningchen, Mu Can is just a hobby, it's not that you have to find a patient to spend the rest of your life with." Bai Yuan held her back and lowered his head, his eyes were calm, "If you don't love her, then I advise you to find a healthy person, she can't afford to delay, and can't afford to play; if you love her, then you have to figure it out and bear the pain and entanglement along the way. When necessary, you should confess to her."

"Isn't necessary?" Zhang Ningchen frowned and asked back, "I love her, and I love her as a person who also loves her weakness. I wouldn't like a patient with congenital heart disease. I would like her if she wasn't sick. I don't need to tell her The reason why I approached her in the first place!"

"But where is there an impenetrable wall in the world? You say it yourself, it's better than she will know it from someone else one day!" Bai Yuan sighed, "I am the same, I can't pretend for a lifetime."

"You really have a long way to go." Zhang Ningchen thought for a while, then smiled, "Then you might as well tell Lin Feng now, there is still hope of standing up."

"He's so busy right now, I'm going to tell him that I lied to him," Bai Yuan glared at her, "Are you intentionally adding trouble?!"

"I watched your rehabilitation just now," Zhang Ningchen stopped joking with him, "Your legs are too useless now, which is one of the reasons why Dr. Liu stopped the anesthetic for you a long time ago. I I have to remind you that your current body has degenerated to a large extent, even if you start targeted training now, you may not be able to return to its original state, if—”

"—Wait a little longer." Bai Yuan interrupted her and closed his eyes, "Let me take it easy."

Pretending to be sick is not a trivial matter, let alone pretending to be so serious, Bai Yuan's hesitation is inevitable, Zhang Ningchen sighed, and did not intend to persuade him any more, thinking in his heart that he would have to urge him a lot in the future, he couldn't just look at Fa Xiao and be so paralyzed A lifetime in a wheelchair.

"What are you waiting for?"

The two of them had their own thoughts and were relatively silent, but they didn't notice when someone stood behind them, Bai Yuan was so startled that he immediately opened his eyes, opened and closed his lips, speechless.

"When did you stand behind me?!" Zhang Ningchen was also terrified. Looking back, he was about to break out in a cold sweat. He forced himself to calm down, "People are scary, okay?!"

"What are you hiding from me?" Lin Feng sat sideways to help his daughter-in-law up, with a confused look on his face, "What did you say about anesthetics and targeted training?"

Bai Yuan's heart stopped beating, his face was pale and he gave a perfunctory smile: "It's nothing..."

"You still want to lie to me?" Lin Feng frowned and stared at him.

"It's what I said. I talked to Dr. Liu when I came here just now. He had a urinary tract infection before. It will probably be very painful to insert a catheter in the future without anesthesia. In addition, he has been frequently sick and hospitalized in the past year, and his body functions have continued to deteriorate. If he continues to Stop the targeted rehabilitation, finish it," Zhang Ningchen said nonsense, "he has to say wait and start the systematic training."

"Daughter-in-law, this can't be delayed!" Lin Feng became anxious when he heard this, "Is it because I didn't come? I was wrong. I won't fall behind again, okay?"

"Don't listen to her nonsense," Bai Yuan glared at Zhang Ningchen. After all, it was her husband who was scaring her, and he really felt sorry for her. "I'm just a little tired. I want to talk about today's rehabilitation and start again."

"Baby, don't be afraid of suffering or tiredness!" Lin Feng's expression relaxed a little, and he kissed his forehead, but said uneasy, "No matter what, my husband will accompany you."

Having been shown so many times, Zhang Ningchen missed her lover more than once, rolled her eyes, and walked out silently, and found a rehabilitation therapist waiting outside the door, thinking secretly that she should not be a light bulb , Just find a few more, and it’s not a loss.

Time faltered until late autumn and early winter, "bornforlove" was only serialized twice on the studio platform and then stopped updating. Although the click-through rate was very high, there was even a faint tendency to break through Lin Feng's last published comic, but Lin Feng was biting He said that he had no inspiration, and held all his saved manuscripts in his own hands, and never gave the editor a chance to steal the manuscripts.

At the same time, the process of adapting the previously published manga to anime has not come to an end, and Lin Feng was stillborn. After many inquiries, Lin Feng learned that it was the general manager of the studio who told the game company that the investment was too small and asked for an additional amount. The lion opened his mouth and asked for 1000 million yuan, scaring people away.

The lawyer said that the infringement complaint can start, and the evidence has been collected almost, but if you leave the studio at this time, liquidated damages are inevitable. After all, the studio did not hide this at the time, and the final signature was Lin Feng himself, and no one else forced him .

In the past half a year, apart from doing cover design and drawing illustrations, Lin Feng also took advantage of the popularity of his friend's art exhibition to auction a few oil paintings of himself in the suburbs on the Internet. It is enough to pay liquidated damages, except for Bai Yuan's medical expenses after that. He desperately took jobs to earn back.

He was apologetic and discussed with his wife that day, but Bai Yuan didn't have the slightest objection or unhappiness, and told him that his serialization in the magazine had been carried out in an orderly manner, and the manuscript fee was optimistic, and the life of the two of them must be enough , and before Zhang Ningchen reconciled with his family, he has already paid back the money he owed to himself. It is 40 yuan, and the recovery may take a long time.If it's really not possible, there are two cards left by my mother. Although the two of them never touch the money there, it doesn't mean they don't have it.

Bai Yuan told Lin Feng not to worry about himself or money, just do what he wants, paint whatever he wants, Binhai City is so big, and he likes so many others, one day he will stand out, become famous, and let everyone They are all proud to collect his paintings.

It would be a lie to say that he was not moved. The night before Lin Feng sued the studio, he hugged his daughter-in-law and cried so hard that it was hard to connect him with the northern guy who played with guns since he was a child and scared Ling Changan almost to pee his pants. stand up.

At that time, he thought, if he was sorry for Bai Yuan in this life, he would not be a human being.

The trial process for copyright issues was complicated and took a long time. After paying the liquidated damages, Lin Feng packed his things and was about to leave the studio. When he was leaving the studio with a cardboard box in his arms, he heard two voices chasing him behind him.

"Zhou Ming, Fang Yujun?" He was a little strange, looking at the two people holding the cardboard box like himself, "You two are..."

"We also resigned!" The small boy looked very excited. He signed the contract half a year later than Lin Feng, and he should have paid more liquidated damages, but there was no frustration on his face. Our surplus labor force! I will no longer serve you!"

"That's right," the other boy looked more mature, holding the box in one hand and pushing his glasses with the other, but also smiled relievedly, "I haven't had a good night's sleep in the past two years, so I simply resigned. "

The three young people who have been oppressed by the studio for a long time looked at each other and smiled, and swept away the low pressure of being unemployed again before, and made an appointment to get together in a few days to celebrate their "escape from the devil's den" with each other.

Putting a total of not many items in the trunk, Lin Feng's mood is rare. Saying goodbye to a tense and depressing past is a happy thing from any angle, so much so that he answered the phone Always with a smile.

"Very happy?" The voice on the other end of the phone paused and asked.

"Dad..." Lin Feng was so excited that he almost stepped on the brakes when he was about to step on the gas pedal.

"How are you doing recently?" Lin Que was not surprised by his reaction, "Why don't you know how to call home?"

"I've been busy with work recently," Lin Feng opened his mouth and said calmly, "I'm sorry Dad, I forgot to make a phone call."

"Be busy and pay attention to rest." Lin Que knew that his son was always in a crazy state when he mentioned painting, "Your mother misses you a lot."

"Understood, I will call my mother tonight." Lin Feng replied.

Strictly speaking, the father and son have not settled their suspicions, but because they have contacted again about Bai Yuan's matter a few months ago, so the silence after a few words is especially embarrassing.

"Come back this year for Chinese New Year."

"Dad, I—"

Before Lin Feng finished speaking, Lin Que hung up the phone, making him unable to say the rejection, very depressed.

After a while, the phone rang again, and when the car stopped on the side of the road, he realized that it was another text message from his father:

Take Bai Yuan home for the New Year together.

Lin Feng's head grew bigger and bigger, and then he suddenly remembered that when he begged his father to find out Bai Yuan's whereabouts, he seemed to have promised his father to give him a "man's answer".

But it's easy to say, but it's harder than going to heaven!

Especially now that he wants to work but doesn't need money, and he lives in his wife's house, if he goes back like this, his father will probably break his legs...
