like drinking ice

After hearing the news, I was in a daze for a while.

The house was too messy and there were people everywhere. I found a glass of milk in the refrigerator to drink, went back to bed, sat for a while, and then felt that my mind was not so chaotic.

The first person I thought of was Zheng Ao.

I don't know how he is now.

The relationship between parents and children in this world is unbroken. Even if one party owes something, the other party will become more dependent.I have been with Zheng Ao since I was very young, and I know that although he is stubborn, he actually likes Zheng Yehu very much.

With Guan Ying's tricks, he may not even know who his mother is, he only has this one father.Zheng Yehu is also good to him, after all, he is a villain who looks exactly like himself, even his temper and personality are very similar, he often walks around with Zheng Ao in his arms, and calls him "my son".

But Zheng Yehu's plane crashed.

I don't want to think about it, but I can't help but think about it: how is Zheng Ao doing now, his life is so smooth, and he has never experienced such a loss like a bolt from the blue.Where will he be at this time?Is there anyone by his side to accompany him?The Zheng family has encountered such an accident, is he in danger?

Even though I keep telling myself that things haven't been clarified yet, maybe there will be a turning point, and maybe the auspicious person has his own destiny.But I still keep replaying the sharp words I said to Zheng Yehu that night in Li Zhurong's study.I can't help but think of his eyes at that time, sad and helpless eyes.He said that if Lin Wei wanted to have a child, he would rather die.

A prophecy.

I can't convince myself that it's none of my business, I can't stop thinking about it, my conscience doesn't allow me to separate myself from it, if that night, I don't say bad things to Zheng Yehu , Will this accident happen again?He is the elder who watched me grow up, Zheng Ao's father, but none of the words I said to him in the end was kind.

I tried my best to tell myself, don't worry about it, don't think about it, don't be soft-hearted, you will love Zheng Ao, but he may not love you, if you think about this name again, you will sink even more.What Zheng Yehu said was not a plea or an order, it was just an accident.Harden your heart!Xu Lang, this world is so cold and hard, you can't be soft and gentle, you will die without a place to die.

But I still can't do it.

My mind was in a mess, tens of thousands of thoughts rushed up together, I heard the sound of people coming and going outside, and every footstep seemed to step on my heart.

I stood up, opened the door and walked out.

In any case, there is no solution to avoiding the solution, no matter what it is, you have to make your own decision.

The living room downstairs was full of people.

The Li family and the Zheng family are family friends, and Li Zhurong and Zheng Yehu are brothers. They advance and retreat together in many major events. Collaborative projects carried out.Even Li Zhurong's most capable subordinate, Yuan Hai, is permanently stationed in the company under the name of the Zheng family. Now that Zheng Yehu's life and death are unknown, everyone's eyes are on the Li family.Whether the Li family will stand up and how tough their attitude is will directly determine their attitude towards the Zheng family.

Li Zhurong was sitting on the sofa in the living room, surrounded by the housekeeper of the Zheng family, and many people were sitting beside them, all holding their breath and listening to Li Zhurong's words.As I walked down the stairs, the butler glanced this way.He seems to know me.

I lowered my head and walked to the study.

I went to Li Xiu first, I didn't ask anything in the rush just now, maybe things have a new turn now, and it's not necessarily true.

I walked to the door of the study and heard Li Xiu's voice.

The door of the study room was ajar. I was about to open the door and go in, but I heard my dad's voice.

What he said made me stop.

"...I never taught you to stand on the sidelines when your friends are in danger. Enmity is enmity, life and death are greater than enmity, don't you understand this truth!" My dad rarely speaks so fast, probably Li Xiu said What angered him: "And let Xiao Lang decide whether to go or not, why don't you tell him without telling him! What's good for him?"

Although Li Xiu usually looks very domineering, he still can't be aggressive in front of my dad, so he replied stiffly: "Isn't the little shemale very attractive! Why do you want Xu Lang to go, I'd better go and find his Ning Yue. "

"Xiao An!" My dad was really angry: "Are you going to talk to me, or do you really not care about Zheng Ao? If you are really so indifferent to the friends you grew up with, then I really Get angry! Go and call Xiao Lang over, otherwise he will have no time to prepare for the departure. The Xia family must have arrived long ago. Zheng Ao is only 19 years old, can he face such a scene alone?"

Li Xiu still looked a little unconvinced, he didn't know what to say, but he just dawdled and refused to move.

I raised my hand and knocked on the door.

"Dad, are you in there? I'm Xu Lang."

There was a moment of silence inside, and one could imagine Li Xiu's displeased expression.

"Come in." My dad said.

In the study, my dad was sitting next to the desk, with warm boiled water and medicine boxes for medicine in front of him. It seems that Li Zhurong was not at home this morning because he was sent to the hospital for an examination. My dad is not in good spirits as soon as winter comes Well, the family doctor kept saying the same thing. Li Zhurong had said earlier that he would go to the military hospital, but my dad kept saying it was fine.

No wonder Li Xiu didn't even dare to reply.

It is rare to see him in a formal suit. It seems that the situation is really serious. He is wearing a black suit and tie, his dark brown hair is neatly combed, and his face is full of youthful heroism. He looks a little dignified. He glanced at me , seems to have something to say, but because of my dad, I don't dare to say it.

The Li family, big and small Hades, only have this fate.

"Tell Xiao Lang about the matter and let him decide for himself." My dad coughed twice and glanced at Li Xiu.

Li Xiu looked very reluctant, and said in a dry voice: "Zheng Ao's grandma had a heart attack, it's not very serious, but now Zheng Ao is the only one in the Zheng family, and my father said that he can't handle the Zheng family's seven supervisors alone. Ba's distant relative, if you are going to explain the matter here, take me there and help him calm down. Dad said let me ask you if you want to go..."

He treats Li Zhurong and my dad equally, and calls them both dad, but you can tell the difference just by the tone of voice. Calling Li Zhurong is very plain, and calling me dad has the meaning of being confident and trying to make trouble.When he was a child, he liked to run amok and attract my dad's attention, because he knew that my dad was the most gentle and soft-hearted towards children.

My dad looks at me.

My dad is very gentle to me, probably because he always feels that he owes me something, so he never forces me to do anything, he seldom even raises hard demands, and he seldom lectures me like he taught Li Xiu just now.

I pursed my lips.

"I'm going to change clothes, do you want to spend the night there?"

Li Xiu looked at me angrily, but because of my dad's presence, he didn't dare to say anything, he just stared at me.

My dad smiled and glanced at Li Xiu triumphantly. This expression means "Look, I just said that Xiao Lang is not as disobedient as you."

That night, Zheng Yehu said many things, some were right and some were wrong, but one sentence was right.

People like my dad have a natural kindness and integrity in their bones, which cannot be erased no matter how bad the situation is or how cruel life is.He is obviously not strong, and his body is not good, but he is like a small sun, and those warm and bright things emanate from the depths of his heart.Even in the darkest and dirtiest swamp, it can emit a little light to illuminate the people around.He has an almost stubborn optimism about human nature. Maybe many people don't like people like him and think they are stupid and naive, but it is precisely this kind of people who can really make the world a better place.

I don't know if I'm really like him.

But I never want to let him down.

When I changed my clothes and came down, Li Zhurong had already stood up and was about to leave. A group of people around him dispersed, probably to perform their duties. Only the butler of the Zheng family stood respectfully behind him. Standing under the stairs with a displeased face waiting for me.My dad took a look at the thick down jacket I was wearing and looked very satisfied.

"Bring this on." My dad handed Li Zhurong a cloak. It was snowing heavily outside. When this happened, Li Zhurong looked very cold, and everyone around him fell silent.My dad probably wanted to comfort him, so he gave my dad a gentle look and said, "Maybe I won't be back at night, so go to bed early."

My dad nodded: "Be careful on the road, don't let the driver drive too fast."

Li Zhurong grabbed his shoulders, glanced at Li Xiu, motioned for us to follow him, and strode out.

It was covered with snow outside, and it was still blowing. I just came out of the room, and I was suffocated by the cold. Fortunately, the car was waiting outside. I couldn’t recover when I got in the car. Li Xiu was probably very angry and didn’t want to talk to me. Throw me a thermos, which contains ginger soup that my dad asked the kitchen to prepare.

I couldn't take a sip.

My throat is like a fish bone stuck in it, and it hurts without letting go for a moment. I really want to hear what Li Xiu has to say, for example, Zheng Ao has Ning Yue, and Zheng Ao doesn’t need me, so at least I don’t have to think about what Zheng Ao has at the moment. How difficult it is, I will not soften my heart because of his current predicament, and I don't need to empathize.

I didn't come here for my dad's expectations, and I know that.

Although I told myself in my heart, I came here as a former friend, because he accompanied me when I was most lonely and hopeless, and now I will give it back to him.

But I still like him.

I know.
