Shut up, I am really a pure love god of war!

Chapter 173 Liberation
It was the first time that Bai Yang saw the emotion of "helplessness" on his parents' faces.

They stood there, feeling helpless after being exposed.

Bai Yang then said softly, "I know you are worried that your divorce will affect my studies, so you still act like you are in love in front of me."

“But, it doesn’t need to be like this.”

"I will be sad about your divorce, but I also believe that if you have not reached the point where you absolutely cannot go on, you will never be willing to divorce."

"I can understand this and I agree with your choice. If staying together means torturing each other, then, as your son, I don't want to see my parents living in quarrels and pain all day long."

"Bai Yang--" Bai Dejun had a complicated expression. He felt that he should say something, but he hesitated.

His son's maturity exceeded his expectations. These words did not sound like something a minor would say at all. However, when he thought about the fact that the person standing in front of him was not just a minor, but also a writer who had already gained some fame on the Internet, and his recent behavior, it did not seem so strange.

He was relieved that his son could understand this, but he felt even more guilty because it made him look like a failed adult who not only failed to handle his own life well, but also needed younger people to comfort him.

But You Shulian thought more.

As a mother, from the moment her son was born, her life was completely bound to this little guy. She instinctively and wholeheartedly devoted her life just to give her son the best possible life.

She had deliberately ignored and suppressed the pain and fatigue she had experienced over the past decade. She knew that as a mother, she had no right to show any cowardice or give in in the face of life.

She was used to those nights when she cried secretly alone, used to digesting the negative emotions brought by life by herself, and then showing all the positive emotions to her children.

She did not expect to be understood, nor did she ever think about being rewarded.

Until this moment, she suddenly realized that this was what it felt like to be understood.

Her vision unconsciously blurred, she turned her head and secretly wiped away her tears, not wanting her son to see this side of her that was inconsistent with her mother's personality.

But I couldn't help feeling happy in my heart.

And the feeling that even though he knew his son had earned hundreds of thousands of dollars, he still didn't show up.

My son has really grown up.

It was as if the heavy burden that had been weighing on her shoulders for more than ten years and had never been lifted suddenly became much lighter, so light that she felt she could even straighten her back and face life for the first time.

"I'm lucky enough."

Bai Yang had thousands of words in his heart, but he couldn't say those words that were too sensational or too straightforward.

He couldn't say it, but he was really grateful that he was able to grow up in a family that was happier than most people, and he was also really grateful for his parents' unreserved love for him.

He has seen too many miserable families.

I have seen too many people who have lived a mediocre life and the changes on their faces when they gained absolute power in front of their children for the first time.

I have seen too many people who need to spend their entire lives to heal the pain caused by their original families.

And I have always been well protected. Even when I was middle-aged in my previous life, my family was still my safe haven and my eternal support.

"So, there is no need to continue to live an unhappy life for my sake, and to keep your life tied up in the same place for such a meaningless reason."

Bai Yang continued, "Your marriage is not a bridge between you and me. No matter what the relationship between you two becomes, for me——"

Bai Yang paused, his eyes were sore, and his voice was a little hoarse: "What I see in front of me are just my father and mother."

"This is a fact that will not change at any time or under any circumstances."

After all, it was still a bit sentimental. So You Shulian's shoulders began to tremble, and finally she couldn't hold it back anymore, and she completely burst out with all the grievances she had felt for so many years.

Bai Dejun's eyes also turned red, so he quickly closed his eyes.

"That's all I want to say."

Bai Yang stood up and walked back to the room to give them space to digest.

There was no sound in the living room for a long time.

As the afternoon passed quietly, my father went out to buy groceries and my mother began to busy herself in the kitchen again.

No matter how turbulent the emotions are, daily life must go on.

When Bai Yang was called out for dinner, You Shulian looked a little uncomfortable, but she still tried to act as relaxed as usual. The three of them sat at the dining table, with only the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding.

In the end, it was the Bai De army that took the initiative to speak.

"It's good that you know about my relationship with your mother."

"We did divorce two years ago, but I didn't tell you because I was afraid you wouldn't be able to accept it."

"Now..." He paused, and said with some emotion: "Bai Yang, you have matured, and I am very pleased."

"Your household registration is still with me, but you are already an adult and have the right to make your own choice. You can maintain the status quo or transfer it to your mother's household registration."

Bai Yang said softly, "I'm not a child who can't take care of myself. There's no such thing as me having to follow one party after a divorce."

"For me, it's just that you two are living separately. What has changed is the relationship between you, not between me and you."

That night, Bai Dejun and You Shulian finally didn't have to force themselves into the same room.

Instead, they can live in separate guest rooms openly.

Bai Yang didn't know what they felt in their hearts, nor did he know whether tonight would be a sleepless night for them, but the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

The shackles on them were finally removed, and they no longer had to endure the hardship until they graduated from high school like they did in their previous life.

Although it is just a small change, Bai Yang believes that this is only the first step. After being reborn, Bai Yang wants to change not only his own life, but also that of everyone around him.

The next day, You Shulian asked to return to Shanghai early.

Bai Yang did not stop her. Perhaps for You Shulian, the work in Shanghai and the social circles there were what she was most familiar with, while in Nanxi Town - apart from the old wooden house in the rural mountain area, she didn't even have her own residence.

Bai Yang kept this matter silently in his heart.

Then came the farewell. This time, the atmosphere was much more relaxed than in the past. Even Bai Dejun and You Shulian seemed to be more frank and free and easy in their interactions.

Before getting on the bus, You Shulian turned back and reminded as usual:
"Yangyang, call mom if you have anything."

"Also, you must study hard."
