heavy rock

Wen Hao parked the car outside a private restaurant, pouted his mouth towards the outside, "Go in. Someone is waiting for you."

Chong Yan sat without moving, and he found that he was more resistant to meeting Li Chengyun than he expected.

Wen Hao turned around to look at him, and laughed slyly, "Yo, yo, are you reluctant to leave me? I'm really flattered."

"Ghosts will miss you." Chong Yan hated his tone, and didn't bother to grind his teeth with him, opened the door and got out of the car.The doorman at the entrance of the restaurant greeted him with a smile on his face, "Young Master Li? Please come this way."

Chong Yan was shocked by the "Young Master Li", but he couldn't help but feel a little suffocated because he couldn't explain anything to a stranger.

The doorman led him into the lobby of the restaurant. The place is not big, but the layout is very ancient, exquisite but not overly exaggerated. It is a very comfortable place.The doorman led him through the corridor, reached out and knocked lightly on the door of a box twice, and heard the person inside say "come in", then twisted the handle, and pushed the door about a foot wide , signaling Chong Yan to go in by himself.Chong Yan glanced at the carved wooden sign hanging beside the door frame, and the words "Peace of Tranquility" were written on the door.Chong Yan sneered in his heart, and said to himself, who can really be at peace among the people sitting here?

Through the gap that was a foot wide, Chong Yan saw the middle-aged man in the box looking over with a surprised expression.Chong Yan had seen such an expression before in his previous life. In fact, when he saw Li Chengyun for the first time, he was also surprised and speechless.This so-called father has been vacant in his life for 17 years, but it only takes a second to recognize him.

The same big and tall person, the same sword eyebrows and star eyes, looking bright, even the slightly upward slanting arcs of the eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same.

Li Chengyun opened his mouth and closed it again, with a blank expression as if he saw something incredible, "Chongyan?"

Chong Yan hadn't seen him for more than ten years. The last time he saw him was in a mental hospital. There was a metal fence between them. Li Chengyun stared at him palely, with hatred and fear intertwined in his eyes.He murmured to Chongyan like a real lunatic, "How could I have a son like you..."

Chong Yan tried to recall what else he said at that time, tried hard for a while and then gave up.He thought a little tiredly, what else could it be, nothing more than inhumane, cold-blooded or something like that.But at that time, this level of adjectives had no effect on Chongyan who walked all the way to the high place on the shoulders of the youngest of the Li family.He would visit Li Chengyun just to satisfy his original wish: to take a look at the retribution this man deserved for Yang Shu.

Li Chengyun came back to his senses, pointed to the empty seat beside him, "Sit."

Chong Yan glanced at the direction of his fingers, and sat down opposite him.

Li Chengyun's gaze was glued to Chong Yan's face without blinking, as if he had discovered something incredible.Chong Yan knew that it was only because he was too surprised, a son who had never expected, never met, would have such an astonishing similarity to his original version.

There were two knocks on the door, and the waiter in the box came in and asked if the food was served.

Li Chengyun's expression returned to the unique grace and calmness of middle-aged people, and he asked Chong Yan kindly, "Are you hungry? I'll let them cook if there is anything you want to eat."

Chong Yan looked at him without moving his eyebrows, "There is nothing I want to eat, as long as there is meat."

There was something unclear in Li Chengyun's eyes, as if he was feeling a little emotional, but he didn't say anything in the end.

The food was served quickly, the two men silently picked up the chopsticks, Li Chengyun picked up a piece of beef and put it on the plate in front of Chong Yan, "The chef here is famous for making beef, you have to try it."

Chong Yan glanced at the piece of beef lightly, but did not move.He doesn't have any cleanliness fetishes, but he has a quirk that he refuses to eat other people's food.What's more, this person is Li Chengyun who he hates the most in his heart?

Li Chengyun felt a little helpless.Before he came, he thought he would see something in the child's eyes, such as: nervousness, excitement, even resentment, or some admiration... But there was nothing, the child's eyes were similar to his The resembling eyes were cold and transparent, without a trace of calmness.Li Chengyun felt that such a calm Chongyan really didn't look like a 17-year-old child.

I don't know what kind of experience it is to have such a personality...

Li Chengyun put aside this thought that would make him feel so guilty, and said out of words: "I didn't expect that among my sons, you are the one who looks the most like me."

Chong Yan asked him back without raising his head, "How many?"

Li Chengyun felt choked.

"Four?"

Li Chengyun's complexion changed slightly.

"Five?" Chong Yan looked up at him, and asked nonchalantly, "How many?"

Li Chengyun stared at him with deep eyes.

Chong Yan smiled half-truthfully, "Mr. Li, I'm so lucky."

Li Chengyun frowned with a headache. Hearing the tone, how could this child have the consciousness to treat himself as a son?Could it be true that he said he didn't want to be recognized back to the Li family?But for a half-year-old child, without the Li family, his life might not be guaranteed.Are you still angry with yourself?

Li Chengyun thought of this possibility, and his heart softened slightly, "Chongyan, I know you have some opinions on me. I didn't know your existence before..."

Chong Yan looked at him with straight eyes, "If you know, what can you do?"

Li Chengyun was blocked again and couldn't speak.What would he do if he knew that Yang Shu would give birth to this child?Either bring the child back, or keep the two of them outside... However, with Yang Shu's temperament, she would never accept either way.

Chong Yan lowered his eyes, picked up a spoon, scooped up the stewed beef soup and mixed it in the rice.

Li Chengyun watched his movements, his pupils shrank imperceptibly.No one in the Li family likes to eat like this except him.The strange overlapping of hobbies in living habits, after the shock brought by the similarity of appearance, gave Li Chengyun a second round of strong shocks.

The child I met for the first time, no matter in appearance or living habits, is almost a perfect copy of him-except for the tricky and weird personality.

Li Chengyun couldn't help sighing, "Your character is not like Yang Shu at all."

"Yeah," Chong Yan looked at him mockingly and said, "So she's dead, but I'm still alive."

Li Chengyun looked at the child with cold eyebrows and said with great difficulty, "I am sorry for her."

Chong Yan looked at him, and laughed with a sneer, "You are so humorous."

Li Chengyun was dumbfounded, he suddenly didn't know what to say.Yet it was obvious that the kid didn't trust him at all, and he didn't even intend to trust him.Long before stepping into this box, he had already erected the most indifferent and hardest barrier around him.This child is very different from his imagination, and he is not even the same as Wen Hao's narrative.He is very calm, so calm that no one can find a flaw.

Li Chengyun felt that the current situation was a bit tricky.

"Chongyan," Li Chengyun wanted to look more sincere, "I really feel guilty. To you, to Yangshu..."

Chong Yan looked at him blankly, "Well, you are guilty, and then what?"

Li Chengyun, "..."

In fact, Chong Yan doubted whether the guilt-like look in Li Chengyun's eyes was faked by him, and he even wondered if he really remembered who Yang Shu was.Of course, it is meaningless to say this now.As early as in his previous life, all his hopes for this so-called father had been shattered.As for Yang Shu, he didn't even know where he was reincarnated.In the last few years of her life, she has been living in the contempt of others, suffering from poverty and disease, like a flower that has just bloomed and been broken by wind and rain-this cruel fact cannot be changed no matter what Li Chengyun does.

Chong Yan was already full, so he put down the chopsticks in his hand, took out his mobile phone to check the time, sat up straight and said solemnly: "Mr. , what exactly do you want to say?"

Li Chengyun sighed softly, "It's nothing interesting, just a meeting."

Chong Yan showed a suspicious look.

"I didn't make it clear on the phone yesterday, so I thought about meeting and talking." Li Chengyun's expression has returned to his previous calmness, and Chong Yan has to admit that this person is still very personable at least from the outside.Sure enough, not everyone can be a gangster, there must be something special, not only the face must be good, the skin must be strong, but also a hard heart, the face can be changed faster than turning the pages of a book .

"Talk about what?"

"That's right," Li Chengyun looked a little hesitant, he was already not sure whether he could successfully persuade him, "Your grandfather wants to meet you."

Chong Yan just looked at him, without shaking his head, or nodding, without expressing anything.

Li Chengyun sighed, "No matter how much I feel sorry for Yang Shu, this is between me and her. I can't deny the relationship between you and grandpa because of this. Chong Yan, your grandpa is not young anymore, and his body is too old. No, go see him, okay?"

It turned out to be this thing.

Chong Yan looked at him cautiously, "He wants to see me?"

Li Chengyun nodded.

After all, he was someone who had been in contact with him in his previous life, and Chong Yan knew something about it.He didn't think he was special to Mr. Li.In terms of love, he can't compare to Li Yanqi and Li Yanlin who have been together day and night for more than ten years. In terms of his own conditions, Chong Yan is not a pleasant personality. He is just an ordinary student and has not shown any extraordinary talents.He remembered that in his previous life, Mr. Li was indifferent to him, and would occasionally chat with him about his life in Linhai, but Chong Yan didn't see that he had any special regard for him.

"It's still gone." Chong Yan shook his head, "Let the old man take good care of himself."

Li Chengyun recalled the phone call yesterday. At that time, he just felt that the child was a bit stubborn, but now, he felt that the child was not "playing a little temper" as he thought he understood.This kid has a clearer mind than anyone else, he knows what he wants, and he sticks to it.

This is a very strange thing, Chong Yan is still underage, has no money, no background, but there is something very powerful in his character.Li Chengyun didn't know what to call this kind of thing that was supporting him.If it were another occasion, or someone else, Li Chengyun might appreciate such a character.But now he only feels a headache, this child is really as good as Wen Hao said, no, okay, right, deal.

"I'm going back to school." Chongyan Ke stood up politely, "Thank you for your hospitality."

"Think about it again. I'll call you in two days." Li Chengyun felt a secret sense of frustration in his heart, but he didn't want to show it. He got up and sent Chong Yan to the door, wanting to reach out and touch his head. It was only when he stretched out his hand that he realized that the child's height had almost caught up with him.

At that moment, I felt a little regretful.

Chong Yan didn't let anyone see him off, so he took a taxi to school by himself.

When the taxi approached the school gate, Chong Yan saw Qin Dong'an standing on the side of the road talking to a man through the window glass.Qin Dong'an looked quite unhappy, talking with his neck stuck up, the man put his hands in the pockets of his trousers, and looked at him leisurely, with his head tilted slightly, showing patience.

Chong Yan couldn't help but look at them more.Looking at his back, this man shouldn't be too old, he is tall, with a slender and strong figure.I don't know if it's "my brother" that Qin Dongan often talks about.

Qin Dong'an said something again, and the man raised his hand and slapped him on the head.The shooting method is not very vigorous, but it seems very intimate.Qin Dong'an shrunk his neck to hide for a while but didn't dodge, and was gently pushed towards the school gate by the man holding the back of his neck like a chicken.

Several students walking around laughed.

Pushed by him, Qin Dongan staggered two steps, his face flushed with anger.He stared at the man and yelled a few words, then turned and ran into the school gate.

The man watched him go, turned and crossed the road, and got into a black sedan that was parked there.

The distance was a bit far away, and the man was wearing a pair of big sunglasses. Chong Yan couldn't see his face clearly, but he had a feeling that the man must have a smile on his face.

A very warm smile.
