Rebirth of Bloody Romance

Zhong Shanyue knew clearly that his son Zhong Yuemin was not the kind of person who would make trouble for no reason. This kid has been naughty since he was a child, and he can't hide anything in his heart. He must have something to say when he was talking to him in such a roundabout way today.

"Yuemin, is there anything that can't be said directly between us father and son? Just say whatever's on your mind, don't beat around the bush. I'm old, and I can't think as well as you, a young man." Zhong Shanyue joked with a smile.

Yuemin felt warm at heart after hearing this. He knew his father was a straightforward person who didn't like beating around the bush. Since his father had said so, there was no need for him to hide it any more.

"Dad, the schedule arranged by the AFC is extremely unreasonable. The men's football team must think they have a sure win now, but what about it? There are still many variables." Zhong Yuemin's voice was firm and powerful, and every word revealed his careful consideration of this issue.

Zhong Shanyue was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Zhong Yuemin to suddenly bring up this topic. He put down the newspaper in his hand, leaned back on the sofa, crossed his hands on his chest, with a subtle look of doubt on his face. "When did you become so concerned about football? What else can change? What do you want to tell me?"

Zhong Yuemin took a deep breath. He knew that what he was going to say next might shock his father, but he believed it was necessary. He walked to the window, stared at the city view outside the window, and slowly spoke. "Dad, I guess the men's football team thinks they have a sure win, but what is the reality? The schedule of this game is extremely unreasonable, and their opponents are likely to take advantage of this loophole to make a fuss."

Zhong Shanyue frowned after hearing this. He didn't know anything about football. "What do you want to say?"

"No matter what they want to write, we can't stop them."

"so what?"

"We can only do our part. The Chinese national team must think they have a sure win. They will probably disband their players after the last game."

Zhong Shanyue now understood what Zhong Yuemin meant. "You mean we can't disband the team?"

Zhong Yuemin slapped his thigh. "Of course not! Dad, think about it, with our current communication and transportation. If the team members disbanded, wouldn't it be difficult to gather again? It would take a lot of time."

Zhong Shanyue really doesn't understand football. Although he doesn't quite understand it now, he believes in his son. "Yuemin, you come to me, what do you want me to do?"

"Dad, do you know anyone on the national team? If so, ask them not to disband the team after the last game. I think there will definitely be a play-off later."

"Play-offs? What do you mean?"

"Even if the two teams have the same results, they still have to play one more game to decide who advances. So the national team cannot disband its players and must be prepared to play one more game. If it is a funding issue, I can pay for it myself."

Zhong Shanyue thought for a while and asked, "Yuemin, are you sure you will play in the play-offs? You should know that this matter is not my responsibility. If I intervene rashly..."

"Dad, I can't say it's 100%, but it's at least 80% possible."

"I'll give it a try. The final result is not something I can decide."

"Dad, it's okay, let's do our best."

After that, Zhong Yuemin's life was like a calm stream, repeating the routine of going to class, leaving get out of class, and then going home every day. His life seemed to be fixed in this dull cycle, without waves or surprises.

However, on this seemingly ordinary day, something unexpected happened to Zhong Yuemin. As soon as he walked into the classroom, Chen Zhiyuan rushed over like a beast rushing out of a cage and hugged him. Zhong Yuemin was startled by the sudden impact and subconsciously prepared to attack at any time.

"Fuck, Lao Si, what the hell are you doing? You scared me!" Zhong Yuemin widened his eyes and saw that the person coming was Chen Zhiyuan, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone. His hands were still hanging in the air, and he almost attacked.

Chen Zhiyuan looked at Zhong Yuemin's reaction, and a mischievous smile appeared on his lips. He let go of his hand and took a step back. "Second brother, I was selected, and I will also study abroad this time."

"Oh, congratulations! I finally got what I wanted." Zhong Yuemin said expressionlessly. It's not that he wasn't happy for his classmates, but he was used to it. He had seen off nearly ten classmates in the past two years. He was used to it. If this trend continued until the senior year, it would be good if only half of the class was left.

It was another quiet Sunday. The sun shone through the gaps in the leaves and onto the courtyard of Beihai, casting a golden glow on the ancient building. Zhong Shanyue walked in with brisk steps, pushed open the half-closed door.

Zhou Xiaobai was holding little Haichen in his arms. The little guy had a childish face and an innocent smile on his chubby face. Zhong Shanyue took him from Zhou Xiaobai and spun him around several times. Little Haichen's laughter was as clear as a silver bell, echoing in the sky above the courtyard.

At this moment, Xiao Shihua ran over. She saw her grandfather holding her brother and spinning happily, and she couldn't help feeling a little jealous, so she pouted and shouted, "Grandpa, I want one too."

Zhou Xiaobai said to Xiao Shihua, "My girl, you are grown up now, and grandpa can't carry you around anymore. Wait for dad to come back and let dad carry you around, okay?"

Xiao Shihua pouted and replied reluctantly, "Okay!"

Zhong Shanyue stopped and looked at the cute little Shihua, and couldn't help laughing. He handed Xiao Haichen to Zhou Xiaobai, then squatted down, opened his arms, and said gently, "Come, Shihua, grandpa will hug you too."

Xiao Shihua happily threw herself into her grandfather's arms, and Zhong Shanyue hugged her tightly, as if he was holding the treasure of the whole world. He gently rocked his body, letting Xiao Shihua feel his warmth and love.

In the corner of the courtyard, an old locust tree stood quietly, witnessing the happy time of this family. The sunlight shone through the branches of the locust tree and sprinkled on Zhong Shanyue and Xiao Shihua, as if covering them with a golden halo.

Little Haichen looked at his grandfather and sister together, and his heart was filled with warmth. He stretched out his little hand, trying to catch the golden sunlight, but caught a ray of air. He blinked his eyes, watching the sunlight jumping on his grandfather and sister, and his heart was full of doubts. "Ah, ah, ah non-stop."

Zhong Shanyue held Xiao Shihua in his arms, but his eyes could not help but fall on Xiao Haichen. He looked at this little guy, as if he saw Zhong Yuemin when he was a child. An inexplicable feeling welled up in his heart. At this moment, he deeply felt that the warmth of family and the power of family affection were the most precious wealth in his life.

Zhong Shanyue stopped, picked up Xiao Haichen with one hand, held Xiao Shihua with the other, and walked into the courtyard of the quadrangle.

Zhong Shanyue took the children for a walk in the courtyard, and they enjoyed this peaceful and beautiful Sunday together. At this moment, they seemed to be in a fairy-tale world, full of joy and happiness.

All of this stems from Zhong Shanyue's deep attachment to his family and his incomparable cherishment of family affection. He understands that no matter how noisy and complicated the outside world is, his family is always his warmest harbor and the home of his soul.

Just as Zhong Shanyue was enjoying a warm family moment with Xiao Haichen and Xiao Shihua in the courtyard, Zhong Yuemin walked in from outside. Seeing his father having fun with the children, he couldn't help but teasing, "Dad, you're quite free today! You can even take them for a walk when you have time."

Zhong Shanyue raised his head, glanced at Zhong Yuemin, and replied unhappily, "What have you been doing? You are busier than anyone else every day. It's so hard to see you."

Zhong Yuemin chuckled, knowing that his father was blaming him for being busy all day and neglecting his family. He scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Dad, I'm busy, you know, I'm usually in school. I'm only free on Sundays, and I must have a lot of things to deal with."

Zhong Shanyue sighed and said earnestly, "Yuemin, career is important, but family is equally important. Look at these two children, how much they hope you can spend more time with them."

"I know dad."

"Okay, it's good that you know. Also, I found one of my former subordinates and told him what you told me that day. The national football team will not have a holiday after the last game."

"Dad, do you need my help with the funding issue?"

"Zhong Yuemin, how come you have become so mercenary now? You are always talking about money. If you don't have money, you won't do anything?"

Zhou Xiaobai added fuel to the fire and said, "Dad, you're right. I think he's a little too rich now. You need to have a good talk with him."

Zhong Yuemin smiled bitterly, thinking to himself, "You are my father and my wife." He knew that in this world, the only people who could speak to him so directly and bluntly were the two people in front of him.

"Dad, you're right."

Zhong Yuemin forced an awkward smile on his face. "I admit that I have become materialistic now. I always think about money, but without money, many things are really difficult to carry out."

Zhong Yuemin frowned, obviously not satisfied with his son's answer. "Yuemin, you used to be a young man with ideals and ambitions. How come you have become so realistic now?"

Zhong Yuemin said helplessly, "Dad, it's not that I'm realistic. It's that this society is very realistic. If you don't have money and status, you have no dignity. This is true for both individuals and the country."

Zhong Shanyue sighed and said slowly, "Yuemin, I understand your idea. However, money is not omnipotent. Sometimes, if you lose your principles and bottom line for money, you will lose more."

Zhong Yuemin was silent for a while, thinking about what to say. "Dad, I understand what you mean, but in this society, without money, many things are difficult to achieve. I will not lose my principles and bottom line for money. I also have my own principles and bottom line. I know what can be done and what cannot be done. Don't worry, I won't let you down."

Zhong Shanyue looked at Zhong Yuemin, with a glimmer of satisfaction in his eyes. He knew that although Zhong Yuemin had changed a lot, he had not lost his original intention and bottom line. He was still a person with pursuits and ideals.

"Yuemin, you must remember that although money is important, your character and bottom line are more important. Don't lose yourself for money. Otherwise, even if you have more wealth, it will be difficult to get true happiness." Zhong Shanyue said again earnestly.

"Dad, thank you for your teachings. I will remember your words and will not lose myself for money. I will also stick to my principles and bottom line."

Zhong Shanyue smiled and patted Zhong Yuemin on the shoulder. "I believe you, Yuemin."

Xiao Shihua's eyes rolled and she said seriously, "Dad, I believe you too."

"Okay girl, Dad, thank you."

Zhong Shanyue and Zhou Xiaobai burst into laughter after hearing this. The little girl looked at this and that, but she really didn't understand what they were laughing at. "Grandpa, Mom, what are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, nothing, we are just laughing at your dad!"

That day, Zhong Yuemin got up early and sent Chen Zhiyuan and three other classmates to the bus station with more than ten classmates. Maybe the first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar, and the third time is like a master. This third farewell was not as sad as the first time.

Zhong Yuemin also joked with Chen Zhiyuan. "Old Four!"

"What's wrong? Are you reluctant to leave me?"

"When you're washing dishes over there, think about the delicious food and drinks you're having with your buddies, and you might feel better. If you really can't help it, call your buddies and they'll have someone bring you some good food."

"Zhong Lao Er, what do you mean by this?"

Zhong Yuemin patted his shoulder. "You'll know later. I'll come to see you guys when I have time."

Chen Zhiyuan still didn't understand what he meant. When he heard that they were going to see them, he asked curiously, "Zhong Yuemin, why don't you go out?"

"Forget it, I don't even want to read books now. You still want me to go out and read? No way. Well, it's getting late. You should leave quickly and don't be late."

"Okay, take care of yourself."

"Bon Voyage!"

Chen Zhiyuan and three other classmates got on the bus and kept waving their hands, and the bus went farther and farther away.

Looking at the bus going away, Lin Shufang beside Zhong Yuemin asked, "Zhong Laoer, I'm also curious, why don't you go out?"

Zhong Yuemin answered the question irrelevantly, but his voice echoed in the sky, like a meteor streaking across the sky, which made people think deeply. His words were full of love and yearning for this land, as if every word and sentence was describing the magnificent picture in his heart.

"Our country encompasses almost all the natural landscapes in the world, from the Qinghai-Tibet Snow Mountains to the Yunnan-Guizhou rainforests, from the Inner Mongolia grasslands to the Gobi Desert in the central and western regions." His words revealed endless pride and passion, as if he had personally experienced those stunning sights and felt the gifts and gifts of nature.

Zhong Yuemin's words reminded Lin Shufang of her motherland, a vast and beautiful land. She seemed to see the white snow on the Qinghai-Tibet Snow Mountain, the lush vegetation in the Yunnan-Guizhou rainforest, the galloping horses on the Inner Mongolian grasslands, and the empty loneliness on the Gobi Desert in the central and western regions. These scenes intertwined into a magnificent picture in Lin Shufang's mind, allowing her to feel the magic and charm of nature.

"I want to fulfill the most extravagant dream of an individual creature while I'm alive: to see and feel all the gifts of nature on this planet. And on this land, almost everything I want can be satisfied." Zhong Yuemin's words are full of love and desire for life. He seems to want to dedicate his life to this land and to everything in nature.

Lin Shufang was deeply moved by Zhong Yuemin's words. The classmates in the class always thought that Zhong Yuemin was careless, not serious about studying, and vulgar. Now she realized that they were the most vulgar.
