From Zheng Chile's appearance to the three of them leaving Huaichang Fifth Elementary School together, Xue Yan never said a word.

Zheng Chile didn't speak either.

He had heard Xue Yan mention Xue Yan's situation before, but time had passed by then, and Xue Yan said it lightly.Zheng Chile only knows that Xue Yan's biological mother's remarriage partner seems to be pretty good, at least in the public security system of Central China Province, it can be said that Zhao Qilin just now is not as stupid as he is now when he grows up.

Xue Yan didn't mention anything more specific, and Zheng Chile didn't think too deeply about it. He didn't expect to come across such a thing.

The deepest wound in Xue Yan's heart was torn open in front of him.

Zheng Chile unconsciously thought of Xue Yan's once extremely dark eyes.

At that time, there seemed to be no light in Xue Yan's eyes, only hatred kept him moving forward.He only feels a little alive when he is helping to collect evidence and carry out the plan secretly. For the rest of the time, even if the beauty is in his arms and the wine is in his glass, he still drifts out of the world.

That may not just be caused by Niu Ganyu's death.

The rejection of family members, the death of friends, the betrayal of subordinates... Xue Yan has walked all the way, and there are hardly any good memories in his life.It is precisely because of such a situation that Xue Yan only shows a faint smile when he mentions the short happy time in his youth.

Because you get too little, you cherish it.

Even people who were also in that period of time have long since left it behind.

Zheng Chile's eyes darkened slightly.

He was also one of the people who hurt Xue Yan, although he didn't mean it.

Zheng Chile and Xue Yan didn't speak, and Li Baisheng lost his temper.

After he heard about Xue Yan's situation from Zheng Chile, he felt that the child was pitiful, and now he was even more angry. According to his opinion, it was the boy who didn't control his mouth just now, and it was not Xue Yan's fault.If his own child was bullied like this, Li Baisheng would definitely teach him to beat him up first!

But the two children seem to have a tacit understanding, Zheng Chile said he would suspend school, Xue Yan silently nodded and agreed, there was no room for him to intervene.If he started to make a fuss over there, he didn't have enough ground, and the woman just now was obviously not a reasonable person, if he continued to entangle, he didn't know what trouble would happen.

Unexpectedly, after leaving the school, Zheng Chile, who was still full of ideas just now, turned into a dull gourd, not saying a word.

Li Bai was very angry, so he could only say: "It's almost dinner time, I'll take you to the next restaurant."

Zheng Chile and Xue Yan followed him into a small restaurant.

Li Baisheng ordered three dishes and one soup, and the three of them filled their stomachs.

The atmosphere was still strangely quiet.

After lunch, Li Baisheng took Zheng Chile and the two to a quiet boulevard and asked them to sit down on a stone foundation.

Li Bosheng said: "Stop competing between the two of you, who is more silent and golden, and tell me what's going on?"

Zheng Chile looked at Xue Yan, hoping that he could speak by himself.

Xue Yan received his gaze and felt the burning pain on the left side of his face.No matter how precocious he was, he was still only an eleven or twelve-year-old child. Although he didn't seem to care much about other people's opinions, he still cared very much in his heart.He didn't even talk about Niu Ganyu's confrontation with Zhao Qilin, because he didn't want to expose this embarrassing fact to Niu Ganyu and Zheng Chile.

Originally, this would have been nothing wrong with him, and he turned a blind eye to all Zhao Qilin's provocations, but today is different, today is the anniversary of his grandmother's death.His grandmother was the only person who was willing to treat him well after his mother started to hate him. Xue Yan couldn't concentrate on attending class today, so he took out a piece of letter paper and began to write a letter to his dead grandmother.

This has been his habit for a long time. Unexpectedly, Zhao Qilin saw it when class was over, snatched the letter he wrote and read it in public. Not only did he insult him as usual, but he also implicated his grandmother.

Xue Yan beat Zhao Qilin unbearably.

So there was the scene that Zheng Chile saw.

Intellectually, Xue Yan can fully understand this matter. When his mother married Zhao Qilin's father, she had already carried so many disgraceful things on her body: she had been ruined by others and had children out of wedlock.Because of so many pasts, his mother will try her best to treat Zhao Qilin and his son well-no matter how bright the surface is, she always lacks confidence in her heart.

In the past, he always thought that his mother had reasons for it. As long as he behaved well enough, performed well enough, and behaved completely different from that unforgivable scum, his mother would not hate him so much.

Maybe one day he will accept his son again.

It's just that this slap cut off all his thoughts after all.

——The thought that should have been discarded when he was abandoned.

All youthful and impulsive expectations, all due and undue attachments are gone.

Xue Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he raised his head to look at Li Baisheng and Zheng Chile, he had put away the original embarrassment and pain.

He paused, and told Li Baisheng and Zheng Chile his story from the beginning.He didn't hide anything from his birth that was not expected by his mother, to his mother's growing dislike of his son, to the almost naive expectations he once had after being abandoned in Lanshan Prison.

Finally he said calmly: "The woman just now is my mother, she is married, and that Zhao Qilin is her stepson. That's it, she has a new life, and I cannot exist in this life."

Zheng Chile had heard Xue Yan talk about all this a long time ago, but at this time Xue Yan was not as good at hiding his emotions as he was then, and there was still an unconcealable pain on his face after all.

Zheng Chile didn't know what to say, because Xue Yan's mood was so similar to his, and he knew that feeling too well—that kind of trauma that no comfort can heal!

Li Baisheng didn't have as many thoughts as Zheng Chile, he only felt that Xue Yan's experience made him sad.Xue Yan's mother's actions are understandable. After all, no woman can accept such a thing. If she happily lives with a scumbag just because she has a child, then there will be a problem!

But Xue Yan was not wrong.

He was just wrongly born in a place that wasn't even considered a "family".

He was not expected from birth, but he was very upright, and he did not make mistakes like children raised in the same "family".

Li Baisheng felt sorry in his heart, and he was not slow in his hands. He opened his hands and gave Xue Yan a hug.

Xue Yan was not used to getting close to people, and the feeling of being hugged tightly made him stunned.

Li Bosheng said: "Good boy, do you want to come to my house? My wife passed away and left me no children. I love her very much and I will never marry again in this life. If you want, come and be my wife." Son, when I get old, I don't have to bother my nephews at home, you will take care of me!"

What he said was sincere, without any hypocrisy, Xue Yan was stunned, not knowing how to react.

Seeing that he was at a loss for others' kindness, Li Baisheng became more determined.He said: "You don't have to respond in a hurry. Try for a while, okay? You and Lele live in my dormitory, and you can answer me after you think it through."

Xue Yan didn't speak, Zheng Chile answered for him first: "Thank you Uncle Li!"

Encountering such a thing suddenly, Xue Yan always felt that it was unreal.When Zheng Chile led Li Baisheng back to Wu's clinic to pack his things, he realized that it was true. A person who had only met him once was willing to accept him completely after hearing about his life experience and his past. and asked him to be his son.

Xue Yan's heart, which was originally dead still, poured into a new trickle.

It was still weak, but it was slowly bringing together the suppressed emotions in his heart.

It's an unfamiliar feeling, but it's delightful.

Xue Yan paused, and joined the ranks of packing up things.

Niu Ganyu came back after school, and when he saw Xue Yan's slightly swollen face, he was very angry and asked who would dare to do anything to Xue Yan.Xue Yan still cherished Niu Ganyu as a friend, so he sat down with Niu Ganyu and told him everything about this period of time.

Niu Ganyu was furious when he heard that, but when he turned around, he found a faint smile on Xue Yan's face.

Niu Ganyu is straightforward, but it doesn't mean he is ignorant, on the contrary, he is more perceptive than anyone else in many cases.After thinking about it carefully, he understood that before Xue Yan was bored and didn't say a word to him, but now he confessed everything. The only possibility is that Xue Yan has let go.

The woman who was his mother in name but actually abandoned him and hurt him could no longer shake him.

Niu Ganyu said, "I'm happy for you."

Xue Yan was very moved by his friend's sincere wishes.

Niu Ganyu was in the same situation as him, but the crimes committed by Niu Ganyu's father were not that serious. His father just encountered a hurricane that cracked down on "speculation" in China, and he became an economic criminal from a local rich man.Niu Ganyu has always been in touch with his father. He heard that his father is doing well in Lanshan Prison and is expected to be released early. Niu Ganyu has been counting the days until his father is released from prison.

At that time, Niu Ganyu might live with his father.

The situation at Zheng Chile's family is a bit complicated, but Zheng Chile is obviously relieved, and lives a very fulfilling life every day.

Xue Yan felt that he should also move forward.

Time slipped by under everyone's noses day by day, and Xue Yan quickly adapted to the life of "quasi-father and son" with Li Baisheng.

Li Baisheng did not lie, his love for his wife was indeed very deep, enough for him to endure the loneliness for the rest of his life.Xue Yan heard a lot about this deceased "mother" from Li Baisheng, and even followed Li Baisheng to her grave to pay respects. After a set of procedures was completed, Li Baisheng asked him to call him "Dad" instead. .

This is a role that Xue Yan had never expected, but through getting along with him during this period, he has long accepted such a role.

Zheng Chile felt happier than ever after hearing Xue Yan's first "Dad".

Everything is going in the right direction.
