When I woke up, my son was older than me

He saw Xiao Sifan walking slowly to the side of the other party after finishing his work, reaching out to touch something, but retracting his hand in time when the other party turned to look at him, he said: "Xiao Sifan, there is something I want to touch." Tell you."

"What?" Xiao Sifan followed his words, then raised his eyes to catch a glimpse of the other party's slightly serious expression, and immediately continued, "Is it a big deal?"

Ling Tingyun hesitated for a while.

But seeing the clock dial on his wrist slide down a few more degrees, his brows could not help but frown.This time point is not a good time for a showdown, but because of today's special, he has the urge to showdown, and the closer the time for Xiao's father and Xiao mother to come back, the more Ling Tingyun wants to put some things before that. say clearly.

"My identity..." He finally made up his mind and said, "It's not Xiao Yue's cousin, but..." At that moment, Father Xiao and Mother Xiao entered the door in time, and the two saw Xiao Sifan and Ling Tingyun standing Looking harmonious together, they looked at each other and then smiled.

Mother Xiao stepped forward first and said, "Sifan, you are back. Your dad and I bought a lot of things you like to eat today, and we will cook some delicious food for you to eat tonight." After she said a few words, she looked away He went to Ling Tingyun and continued: "By the way, Xiao Ling. Uncle Xiao likes the wine you sent earlier, so you and your two sons-in-law should drink it tonight. While Si Fan is here..."

"What?" Xiao Sifan heard those two words clearly, and only then did he have a question about the word "what".

"Ah, I mean, while you are here, do you want to have a good talk about the matter between you and Xiao Ling?" Xiao's mother pulled Xiao Sifan together, and said in a low voice: "I know you have no relationship with Xiao Ling, The previous incident was also an accident. It’s just that for so many years, we have noticed Xiao Ling’s kindness to our two elders. After you disappeared, he is equivalent to our half son. So about the two of you, your father and I I think you need to listen to your own opinions.”

"He is... Ling Tingyun?"

Xiao Sifan remembered clearly that Xiao Yue's other father's name was Ling Tingyun.But he didn't expect that Brother Ling who had been by his side all this time turned out to be Ling Tingyun, so was that what the other party wanted to tell him just now?

how come.

Xiao Sifan had never had a particularly good impression of Xiao Yue's other father, even after getting to know him later, he just thought it was okay.It never occurred to me to compare the person in front of me with the other person. Who would have thought that these two people would be the same person in the end.

Thinking of this, Xiao Sifan couldn't help but suspect this person's purpose of hiding his identity.

But after thinking about it, I didn't seem to be honest with the other party, and my identity was discovered by the other party. This comparison seems a bit even.

"What do you mean he is, you and Xiao Ling have known each other for so long, you don't even know his full name?" Mother Xiao smiled, she didn't take it seriously, she just thought it was just a joke.

Xiao's father shouted, and Xiao's mother walked over.

The two entered the kitchen together, leaving only Xiao Sifan and Ling Tingyun in the living room.The atmosphere seemed a bit awkward, especially when Xiao Sifan looked at Ling Tingyun's face, he didn't dare to jump out of the teasing words before.Perhaps no one made a sound, which made the sense of alienation even stronger at the moment.

In the end, Ling Tingyun stepped forward and said, "I didn't hide my identity on purpose, but..." He paused, not knowing how to go on with this explanation.

Maybe it was because they didn't consider the aspect of identity in the past, so they didn't think it was difficult for the two to talk, but now that they knew each other's identity, a sense of awkwardness emerged spontaneously.Especially Xiao Sifan, when facing Ling Tingyun, he always looked at Xiao Yue's father from the angle.

"Brother Ling." Calling Brother Ling seems worthy of the name now.

"You knew my identity from the beginning?" If not, then the other party would not have hidden his identity in advance.

Sure enough, after hearing Xiao Sifan's question, Ling Tingyun nodded.Xiao Sifan couldn't say whether he was angry or not, but felt that the two of them got along with each other through their identities during this period of time was like a game, and now that the game has come to an end, there is no need to continue.

"Thank you for taking care of my parents during the years when I disappeared." Xiao Sifan said thanks first, smiling to break up the previous sense of estrangement, but still put the alienation in his eyes, "Speaking of which, I'm with you My parents have been with me for 18 years, and you have been with me for the last 18 years, and you are like their half son."

"En." Ling Tingyun didn't know how to reply.

"And Xiao Yue, who also likes you a little more."

"Xiao Yue, he..."

"It's okay. It's good." Xiao Sifan said word by word, "I'm really grateful that you can always be by my family's side, and help me fulfill my son's responsibility when I haven't fulfilled it. So don't worry, I won't compete with you for custody, Xiao Yue is a child of your Ling family."

"custody……"

Ling Tingyun repeated with lowered eyes.He didn't seem to expect that Xiao Sifan would bring up the matter of custody with him, and he never thought of snatching Xiao Yue away from him, but as soon as this topic came up, the two of them seemed to be talking to divorced strangers Discussing the child's whereabouts calmly and indifferently.

"Yes." As if afraid that the other party would not believe it, Xiao Sifan thought for a while and said, "Do I need to sign a guarantee?"

Most young people have no legal awareness, but they also know that the signed guarantee has certain legal effects.Xiao Sifan just thought that signing a letter of guarantee could prove what he said, but he didn't think that this letter of guarantee would cut off the connection between the two of them for Ling Tingyun.

Ling Tingyun had always thought that he could get a little bit involved with Xiao Sifan by virtue of Xiao Yue.

Even if this kind of involvement is a bit reluctant to think about, it makes Ling Tingyun happy.As a result, the lightly refusal of custody rights and a faint guarantee made everything virtual. Just a few more words, I am afraid that the relationship that has been maintained for 18 years will be cut off suddenly.

"Uh, does handwriting count?" Xiao Sifan didn't look like he was joking, he took out a pen from his schoolbag, and planned to tear a page from the draft paper and write it down.

Ling Tingyun stopped him in time, as if it took a lot of strength to hold the opponent's hand with his fingers, while staring into the opponent's eyes, he said, "No need."

At that moment, the warm fire in my heart was completely extinguished.

He squeezed out a smile and said: "Xiao Yue's surname is Xiao, and he will always belong to the Xiao family. But he also has the blood of the Ling family, so there is no need to prove anything."

"Okay." Xiao Sifan felt inexplicably sad when he heard Ling Tingyun's words.He ignored this strange emotion and stuffed the pen back into his schoolbag.After finishing zipping, seeing Ling Tingyun walking to the window, he suddenly wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

When the person turned around, he immediately looked away like a mouse hiding from a cat.

The two sat silently on the sofa stool in the living room, with a large distance between them, and one person occupied one side.The TV played sound, but no one had the idea of ​​watching TV.Xiao Sifan imitated the other party and straightened his back for a while, but after a while he couldn't sit still.

He leaned down slightly, picked up the remote control and asked the other party: "What do you want to watch?"

Ling Tingyun replied: "No need."

Xiao Sifan put the remote control, and moved the fruit basket on the table to the other party, "Would you like some?"

Ling Tingyun lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on the other party's hand moving the fruit basket, and then shook his head, "No need."

Xiao Sifan was overwhelmed again and again, he smiled awkwardly.Then he moved his eyes to the TV screen, watched for a while and was attracted by the plot inside, and then he slumped on the back of the sofa casually after a while.After the TV was over, I recalled the person sitting next to me. I turned to glance at the other person, only to find that the other person was still sitting upright as a businessman.

Are you tired of sitting like this?

This idea popped up in Xiao Sifan's mind for no reason.

But comparing my sitting posture, I just feel that my sitting posture is extremely ugly.He straightened up and began to imitate the other person's sitting posture again, but he couldn't hold on again after a while.He got up and quietly planned to leave, after all, it was really embarrassing to sit with the other party in this scene.

"Where are you going?" Ling Tingyun turned around and asked when he moved.

Xiao Sifan stopped, and said with a haha, "I'm just going to see how my parents' rice is cooking." At the same time, Xiao's mother's voice came from the kitchen, "The rice is not ready—— Si Fan, please greet Xiao Ling, your father and I are busy—”

"Then I'll go to my room." After hearing Mother Xiao's answer, Xiao Sifan changed his words again, "I remembered that my room hasn't been tidied up for a long time, and it's quite messy, so I'll go tidy it up."

"Go now?" Ling Tingyun asked.

Xiao Sifan said: "Yes, let's go now. Anyway, it's not that the meal is not ready yet, so let's go now. I don't know what time it is after the dinner. It's just right to go to arrange the time now."

Ling Tingyun frowned and answered, "I'll go with you."

"No need!" Xiao Sifan retorted immediately, and then felt that his tone was a bit dry, so he slowed down and said, "My room is like a kennel, and there is no place to enter. The key is that you are a guest, so you don't need to help. I can do it by myself, really Can."

"guest……"

Xiao Sifan didn't hear Ling Tingyun talking to himself, but turned around and slipped back to his bedroom while the other party was in a daze.His room was not as messy as he said, it could even be said to be in good order, but he collapsed on the bed as soon as he came in, with an expression of extra enjoyment.

Before he could enjoy it for a while, the door of the room was opened with a creak.

"Who?" He sat up suddenly, turned his head to look at the place where the door was opened, but saw Ling Tingyun walking into the room with a bucket of water in his hand.

"Isn't it cleaning? I'm with you."

Xiao Sifan was stunned, and looked at the bucket of water stupidly, he never thought about cleaning it.

Ling Tingyun didn't know what he was thinking, so he stepped forward and said: "Division of labor and cooperation, the speed is fast." After finishing speaking, he continued, "I am not a guest."

"Ah?" Xiao Sifan was really confused and helpless.
