take a break

Secretly ashamed of my ignorance, I didn't know such a well-known "No. [-] prodigy".

Thinking that if he paid more attention to the news, he might be able to find his biological son half a year earlier, he blamed himself.

Wang Xiping closed the magazine, looked Li Xuesheng up and down, and asked in puzzlement: "You were admitted to Peking University as the provincial champion at a young age. What an honor it is. Why did you keep it from me?"

"We just met by chance, so I don't need to go to great lengths to show you my aura of 'prodigy'." Li Xuesheng explained, "I hope you can do your best to treat Chen Shuhua, but you have no external force to rely on. Your identity arouses your pity, and I try to win your favor by pretending to be cute and naive. I am sorry that I have taken advantage of your kindness and love, which has always made me feel very guilty. However, for the sake of Chen Shuhua's body, I cannot Confess to you ahead of time."

Wang Xiping felt sad for a while.

He is a person who has climbed up from the bottom of the society, how can he not know the fickleness of the world and the warmth of human relationships.

If it wasn't for the special instruction and urging of the director of the hospital, he would not treat a mild patient like Chen Shuhua.

If Li Xuesheng's appearance, age, and identity had not aroused his suspicion, he would not be so concerned about this child.

Li Xuesheng knew how to play tricks and take advantage of people at a young age, which made Wang Xiping feel very distressed.

If he hadn't lost his son back then, why would his son have to struggle in such a poor and harsh environment!

Wang Xiping stretched out his hand to pull Li Xuesheng into his arms, and said with great pity: "Son, Dad is sorry for you! These years, you have suffered so much! From now on, Dad will be with you for everything, so you don't have to work so hard anymore! Dad hopes you can do it." A veritable child who grew up innocently and happily!"

Li Xuesheng was moved by Wang Xiping's tolerance and love, and forgave him in his heart for deceiving him earlier.

He raised his head from Wang Xiping's arms and said, "There is one more thing I have to tell you. I was adopted by a family named Shen in the first semester of high school. I have adoptive parents and an elder brother. I'm fine. Soon, I'm going to live with my adoptive parents in New York, USA."

Wang Xiping froze for a moment, then lowered his head to stare at Li Xuesheng's big clear eyes, his face extremely serious.

"Son, you don't want to live with your father and mother?"

"I majored in computer science, and going to the United States will allow me to expand my ambitions." Li Xuesheng said, "When the domestic information industry environment becomes more mature, I will return to China to develop. I will come back in six years at most."

"Six years..." Wang Xiping murmured, "I have missed you for 6 years and five months, if I miss another six years... what qualifications do I have to be your father?!"

"I'm not an ordinary 12-year-old kid, and I don't need to live under the wings of my parents." Li Xuesheng said, "For me, the meaning of parents is the place where I can finally go back. As long as you are willing to silently wait for me this In the last pure land, you have fulfilled your responsibilities as parents."

Wang Xiping was shocked and asked in disbelief, "You don't want me to meet your adoptive parents? You don't want them to know that you have met your biological parents?"

Li Xuesheng nodded, and said frankly: "The three members of the Shen family are all busy with work, and they get together once a year at most. I don't want to disrupt their life rhythm because of my personal affairs."

"If they are all busy with work, how can they have time to care about you? Is this also good for you?" Wang Xiping said dissatisfied, "Even foster parents can't just feed you and keep you warm! Raising children, It’s not just about giving money!”

"You have never experienced real hunger and cold, so you have no right to speak!" Li Xuesheng said solemnly, "Chen Shuhua's wish since he was a child is to be fed and clothed warmly! My adoptive parents and brother, for me and Xiaohua I am very grateful to them for providing good material conditions! Now, they have provided me with the opportunity to develop in the United States, which is what I need most now!"

Wang Xiping was stunned, his heart throbbing with pain.

Although his family was not rich, he had never endured hunger or cold.

When he thought of the extreme poverty his son had experienced, he felt guilty.

"Son, give Dad some time, Dad has to go home and discuss it with your mother." Wang Xiping said softly.

"It's not 'negotiation', it's 'persuasion'!" Li Xuesheng corrected, "My visa has already been processed, and my air ticket has already been bought. Tomorrow afternoon, I will leave Beijing and fly directly to New York."

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Wang Xiping asked puzzled, "Can't you stay for a few more days?"

Li Xuesheng shook his head and said, "For Chen Shuhua, I have already delayed for three and a half years, and I cannot continue to delay.

"If you want, I hope you can help me take care of Chen Shuhua. He is the real child!

"However, it seems that you don't like him very much. You probably think this kid is a bit selfish, right?

"Actually, who is not selfish? If you want to say selfish, I can be the word 'most'!

"Okay, it's time for me to go. After 6 years, I will return to Beijing to find you. I hope you are all well!"

Seeing Li Xuesheng trying to leave his embrace, Wang Xiping quickly hugged him tightly.

"Son, don't you even want to leave your contact information to Dad? If you haven't heard from me for 6 years, how can you rest assured me and your mother?"

"I can give you my email address." Li Xuesheng said, "However, you probably haven't touched a computer before. Can you send emails?"

"You can learn it if you don't!" Wang Xiping said anxiously, "No one understands it at the beginning. You should teach mom and dad quickly!"

Li Xuesheng thought for a while and said, "How about this, I will give you the computer I have been using all the time. I will also give you a few textbooks, and you can learn slowly."

Li Xuesheng returned to "Shuxiangyuan", disassembled and packed the desktop computer, and took a taxi to Wang Xiping's home.

He briefly taught Wang Xiping and Bai Jingyan how to turn on the computer, surf the Internet, and send emails, and wrote down the main points on paper.

Afterwards, he took out his professional textbook and marked out the chapters that the two of them needed to read with a red pen.

Before leaving, Li Xuesheng took out a volume of mounted calligraphy works and unfolded them in front of Wang Xiping and Bai Jingyan.

It was a huge cursive character "Shou", and the inscription was "Gui You Year Chuner Xu Jinghe".

Seeing the word "Erxu", the Wangs were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes.

Li Xuesheng was afraid that the old couple would ask him to call them "Father and Mother" himself, so he left in a hurry while they were emotionally agitated.

Li Xuesheng hurried back to "Shuxiangyuan" and cooked dinner for Chen Shuhua and Shen Yixuan.

He left a note for Shen Yixuan, writing "I gave away my computer, don't look for it. I will go home tomorrow morning to pack my luggage, remember to send me to the airport."

Seeing Li Xuesheng entering the ward with a thermos bucket and lunch box profusely in sweat, Chen Shuhua leaned against the head of the hospital bed and asked plaintively, "Xuesheng, is this the last supper?"

Li Xuesheng quickly glanced at Chen Shuhua, who was looking sad, and while laying out the meals one by one, he said: "Tomorrow afternoon, I will fly directly from Beijing to New York. I will come back in 6 years. If you don't want to see me again by then, you can do it now." This meal is the last supper between you and me."

Chen Shuhua looked at Li Xuesheng with a frown, and asked, "You have been in the United States for 6 years, what about your biological parents? Did they go with you?"

"They have their own careers, so how could they be chasing after me all day?" Li Xuesheng said, "I've made an agreement with them, and everything will continue as usual. In this world, you are the only person who knows that they are my biological parents!"

Chen Shuhua's eyes widened in surprise, and he asked incredulously, "You're not going to recognize them? They actually agreed?"

"As parents, they naturally want the best for their sons. Knowing that they are powerless, they choose to wait in silence. This is selfless and great parental love."

Li Xuesheng said it lightly, but he hoped to wake up Chen Shuhua.

Chen Shuhua was never an idiot, he was just too attached to Li Xuesheng.

Now, since he knew he couldn't stay, he could only try to accept and change.

The last dinner before parting ended silently in an atmosphere so quiet that a needle could be heard.

That night, neither Chen Shuhua nor Li Xuesheng wanted to sleep, but lay quietly on the hospital bed without moving.

What should be said has been said; what should not be said, it is useless to say more.

Now, the two have fallen into a relatively silent situation.

Early the next morning, Li Xuesheng went out to buy breakfast for Chen Shuhua, and put it on the bedside table together with a note that said "Xiaohua, see you in 6 years!".

Chen Shuhua lay on the bed and pretended to sleep with his eyes closed, but his ears were listening carefully to Li Xuesheng's movements.

Hearing the sound of Li Xuesheng zipping up his luggage bag, walking quietly towards the door, and gently closing the door, Chen Shuhua immediately opened his eyes, and sat up straight.

He looked around the clean and tidy ward, and found that all of Li Xuesheng's belongings had disappeared, and his heart suddenly became empty.

Picking up the note from the bedside table, which was pressed by the water cup, carefully inspecting the strong and generous black pen writing, Chen Shuhua's vision gradually blurred.

Chen Shuhua's recovery and discharge from the hospital attracted many people, including hospital leaders, school leaders, school-level and departmental student union cadres, student representatives, and fan groups.

Together with major media across the country, they made a warm and touching show.

Chen Shuhua, who is good at dancing with long sleeves and is exquisite in all aspects, successfully won the
