brave and coward

Xue Younian put the flowers he brought into the vase, fiddled with the branches and leaves, and asked with concern: "You have a follow-up examination today, what does the doctor say?"

Peter turned to the source of the sound: "No serious problem, just check regularly. The flowers are so fragrant, thank you."

Xue Younian said, "As long as you like it."

Peter smiled: "It mainly depends on who is sending the flowers."

Xue Younian also smiled, with a gentle tone, and said, "A flower is a flower, and a person is a person. How fragrant a flower is does not depend on who picks it or who gives it to you. Peter, you are idealistic."

Peter shook his head with a smile, picked up the vase, and carefully placed it on the shelf next to it.

Xue Younian watched Peter groping slowly there, his gaze fell on those dull eyes for a few seconds, and he couldn't bear to look away.

As a war correspondent, Peter experienced turmoil, big and small, until he was forced to leave the front line when he was blind.

At the beginning, he couldn't accept the facts, he was depressed and collapsed, and he had to receive long-term psychological treatment for this. Now he can laugh and call himself a "medal".

Peter is a very good person, if possible, Xue Younian doesn't want to hurt him.

But why did he come back?

Peter placed the vase, and heard Xue Younian ask: "Can you do hypnosis today?"

He nodded: "Isn't that why you came here? Sorry, I caused you a lot of trouble."

Xue Younian said, "You don't need to be so polite, as long as I can help you."

The two went to the study, Peter sat on the recliner, took a deep breath, and first described to Xue Younian his mental state in the past two days.

Peter has faced the tragic reality of hell on earth for a long time, and has already had deep psychological trauma. Blindness is the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

He has affection for Xue Younian and trusts Xue Younian's personality and professional ability. When Xue Younian proposed to help him with hypnotherapy, he agreed without hesitation.

……

Those records were not easy to check, and it took Hua Lin a lot of thought to get them.

The records show that Xue Younian has indeed traveled to and from home and abroad many times in the past years, and it is not that "he has hardly returned to China since he went abroad" as others have always believed.

After further investigation, the time and place of Xue Younian's return to China are almost all related to Huashi City.

For example, Huashi City won an important award in a certain place in a certain month in a certain year, or other highlight moments that were meaningful to Huashicheng's life, Xue Younian also went there in those few days.

Such records continued until Hualin went abroad to study.

Probably he had realized something a long time ago. At this moment, Hua Lin was unexpectedly calm. He didn't want to curse or throw things. He just stared at the branches and leaves outside the window for a long time.

By the end, he even had a little laugh.

Hua Lin came downstairs to Peter's apartment.

He wants to tell Peter his true identity and purpose of coming, so that Peter can also know Xue Younian's true face.

Just as he was about to go upstairs, he saw a few policemen coming out of the elevator shaking their heads and sighing.

……

After Peter committed suicide, Xue Younian accepted a simple questioning by the police as a friend with whom he had frequent contacts recently.

He took off his glasses, closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, and said in a low voice with great grief: "I tried to untie him... He seems to be improving, and the results of each re-examination are good. I didn't expect...it was too sudden, too unexpected."

……

After leaving the police station, Xue Younian drove out for a while, and heaved a long sigh of relief.

Peter was finally gone, and he didn't have to worry about it all day.Germany is not big, the chance of Hualin meeting Peter is too high.But now he can rest easy.

The adoption has also been finalized and the baby will be brought home next month.Church registration for the marriage is scheduled for next week.

Everything is going in a good direction.

He has already made up his mind that after Hualin graduates, he will quit his job, move to the United States with Hualin and his children, open a private clinic, or continue teaching, whatever is fine.

In short, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, they can spend their lives comfortably, and they will never be separated.

Xue Younian returned home, opened the door, saw Hua Lin sitting on the sofa in a daze, and asked softly, "Linlin, what's wrong?"

Hua Lin turned to look at him, hesitated for a few seconds, and asked, "Peter committed suicide, did you know?"

Xue Younian was taken aback.Almost in an instant, everything went through Xue Younian's mind.He quickly came back to his senses, suppressed the smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked at Hua Lin hesitantly.

Hua Lin looked into his eyes and said, "It's the Peter who looks a lot like my dad."

Xue Younian's heart skipped a beat, and he had fully understood what Hua Lin meant, and hastily denied it: "Lin Lin, things are not what you think, listen to my explanation...I admit, I just came back from the police station .I've been hanging out with Peter lately, so after he killed himself, the police did some simple routine interviews with me. But Peter and I are definitely just friends."

Hua Lin said, "That's not what he said."

Xue Younian sighed, walked over and squatted opposite Hua Lin, looked up at him, and said seriously: "He did have that kind of intention for me, but I only regarded him as a friend, so I rejected him back then. This time when he comes back, I only treat him as an old friend. Linlin, I know this matter seems awkward, but it’s just a coincidence. I was afraid that you might misunderstand, so I didn’t tell you about Peter before. I don’t think it’s necessary Just add to the misunderstanding."

Hua Lin was silent for a while, and asked, "Did you really lose your passport again?"

Some time ago, Xue Younian said that he lost his passport again and went to get a new one.

Xue Younian's throat was dry, and he swallowed his saliva: "Linlin, why are you doubting me now?"

Hua Lin didn't even know how he could be so calm at this moment, he calmly observed every trace of Xue Younian's slight expression, and after a while, he said: "You know what I'm doubting but you still ask the truth, this is not your character , you are panicking, what are you panicking about?"

Xue Younian took off his glasses and took a deep breath: "Because I'm afraid you will be involved in this misunderstanding. This matter is really embarrassing..."

Hua Lin said, "I have a solution."

Xue Younian looked at him.

Hua Lin said: "Call X Airlines now and transfer your round-trip records for the past ten years."

Xue Younian was about to speak, when Hua Lin continued: "There are also the entry and exit records in your passport for the past ten years. You can lose the passport book, but you cannot erase the entry and exit records."

Xue Younian put back his glasses, his eyes downcast, and he remained silent.

Hua Lin was right, he couldn't erase the entry and exit records, something he couldn't do no matter how rich he was.

After a while, Xue Younian said in a low voice, "This is all a coincidence. Even if I have been back to the country several times in the past, it doesn't mean anything."

Hua Lin said calmly: "That's right, it doesn't mean anything, so why are you panicking. It doesn't mean anything, what are you rushing to destroy your passport for?"

Xue Younian said in a hoarse voice, "Because I know you will think about it like this."

Hua Lin said: "You can adjust the round-trip time for me first."

Xue Younian grabbed his hand: "Linlin, let's not worry about this, shall we?"

Hua Lin felt disgusted and withdrew his hand: "It doesn't matter if you don't adjust, I have already read it, I just think you should read it yourself to wake up, anyway, I woke up completely after watching it."

Xue Younian looked at him anxiously: "Linlin—"

"I beg you don't call me, it's really disgusting." Hua Lin stood up and said blankly, "I'm moving out today. You can deal with the adoption yourself, and don't adopt. From now on, I have nothing to do with you, don't look for me anymore. My parents... It's disgusting, I don't want to disgust them, and I will give you the last face, I won't talk about it, let's just treat it as nothing It never happened. But I hope you will show some face and find excuses and ways to stay away from everyone in our family in the future."

Xue Younian was about to continue explaining, when Hua Lin suddenly looked into his eyes and asked, "You killed Peter, didn't you?"

Xue Younian stood up and said helplessly, "He committed suicide. The police have investigated the scene, and the psychiatrist has records. He has been suicidal since he lost his sight..."

Hua Lin interrupted him, and said sarcastically, "Psychiatrists are not as good as you. You can use your knowledge of psychology to seduce|seduce me, and you can also use it to induce Peter to commit suicide."

Xue Younian looked at him in surprise, his face turned pale.

"Tempt | rape", Hua Lin used this word.

At that moment, Xue Younian almost seemed to have been sucked out of his soul and strength. His body trembled slightly, his eyes were moist and red at the end of his eyes, and he stared at Hua Lin sadly.After a while, tears rolled down his cheeks.

That was a scolding he couldn't bear.

Seeing Xue Younian like this, Hua Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he almost couldn't bear it anymore.No matter how you say it, after all, they were the ones who had such a close relationship... It's just that all of that was based on an extremely ridiculous deception.

So Hualin hardened his heart again.

He looked away and said coldly: "Whether you admit it or not, I will report you to the police. I will also investigate Zhang Bo's death. You shocked me so much, you are too scary."

Xue Younian didn't care about his investigation at all, he just begged: "Anything is fine, Linlin, you can do whatever you want, I will cooperate with you, but you have to listen to my explanation——Linlin!"

Hua Lin went to the stairwell to pull the suitcase that had been packed there earlier, and walked towards the door.

Xue Younian hurriedly grabbed him: "Linlin, give me a chance!"

Hua Lin laughed as if he had heard a big joke, but there was no smile in his eyes. He asked, "Would you like to tell my dad and see if he is willing to give you a chance?"

Xue Younian's throat was dry: "This has nothing to do with him, it's between me and you."

Hua Lin sneered and asked, "How could it be okay? Xue Younian, what time is this, and you still treat me like a fool?"

Under his gaze, Xue Younian gradually lowered his head guiltily, swallowed his saliva with great difficulty, and said for a long time, "I'm sorry, Linlin. But the person I love now is you, I can be sure of this, your father... ...For me, he is just a flower in the mirror in the water. I was confused by it, but after being with you, I have awakened."

Hua Linhong stared at him with wide eyes, and said word by word: "Then you must 'wake up', I am younger than my dad, and he is straight, he doesn't like you at all, but I can be You are being coaxed around like an idiot, I am you and I will change my target!"

Xue Younian choked up and said, "No..."

Hua Lin asked: "What isn't it? Didn't you deliberately seduce me because I look like my dad?"

Xue Younian was silent for a long time, and said, "I love you now."

Hua Lin sneered: "Then I really thank you. I have been blessed for three lives and I am ashamed of receiving it. I kowtow to you in gratitude! I have accumulated the blessings of eighteen generations of ancestors!"

Xue Younian closed his eyes: "Linlin, can you talk about this matter calmly?"

Hua Lin scolded fiercely: "If you have the ability, go find a gay, get yourself drunk and have someone round you ten or eight times in the public restroom, and if you can still calm down, come and tell me to be calm again!"

Xue Younian took a deep breath: "This is not the same thing..."

Hua Lin interrupted him, and said quickly: "It's not the same thing, but the degree of nausea is comparable. Xue Younian, stop talking, I already know enough about what I should know and what I shouldn't know , Enough, enough. From this moment on, you and I, bridge to bridge, road to road, stop here. I used to be bitten by a dog, this is too disgusting, you shameless, I want shame, I I don’t want the third person to know, including my parents. My only hope is that you can stay away from me and my parents in the future! It’s not difficult, is it? I didn’t embarrass you, right? Can you do that?!"

"I……"

Hua Lin suddenly raised his voice: "I'm the one who made this disgusting! It's not you! Xue Younian, you have no right to argue with me about anything!"

Xue Younian said in a low voice, "I didn't want to argue with you, I just..."

Hua Lin interrupted him again: "It's useless for you to explain to me, Xue Younian, you should think about how to explain to the police."

Hua Lin walked to the entrance, stopped, and said without looking back: "You'd better stop crying, making trouble, and hanging yourself. If you make this scandal worse, I will drop out of school and return to China immediately. As I said, I will Save face. If you hate me so much that you want to destroy me, then it's up to you."

In fact, Hua Lin himself was afraid of saying this, he was really afraid that he would not be able to lose that person.

Xue Younian looked at his back obsessively, and choked up, "I won't give up trying to get your forgiveness, but don't worry, I will never hurt your future. I love you, and I can give up everything for you."

"Don't talk like you're filming a TV series, you don't need to give up everything at all, you just need to let me and my parents go."

After Hua Lin finished speaking, he left.

……

That's it.

Of course, Xue Younian was not willing to end this. He tried his best in private to beg Hua Lin to get back together, but it had no other meaning and effect other than making Hua Lin hate him more and more.

Regarding this relationship, Hua Lin was very decisive. He even returned the traineeship and internship that Ralph introduced to him, and fell out with Ralph because of this.

As for the two fatal accidents of Zhang Bo and Peter, Hua Lin suspected that there was something wrong with them, and he raised his suspicions to the police.However, according to the investigation by the police, Peter committed suicide, while Zhang Bo committed suicide and died accidentally.Even, the police suspected that Hua Lin had mental problems, or that Hua Lin and Xue Younian had academic enmity and revenge.

Hua Lin tried to investigate on his own, but couldn't find any clues at all, so he had to give up.

Even later, he wondered if he was thinking too much, if he was just angry because of being replaced, so he wronged Xue Younian in this matter.

But no matter what, even if Xue Younian didn't kill those two people, it's impossible for Hua Lin to reconcile with him.

Later, Hua Lin, who turned grief and anger into learning strength, was one of the top outstanding students who received both Dr.med and Ph.D. After graduation, he returned to China and continued his studies while working in his own hospital.
