108 Ways to Heal a Loyal Dog

"dad……"

Lian Qing looked at the man in front of him and subconsciously called out.

Lian Xun didn't answer, but just glanced at him condescendingly, waved his hand, and asked the nurse next to him to come forward and remove the needle for cleaning.

A few minutes later, the driver started the car. Lian Qing looked at the back of the bodyguard in the front row, adjusted his posture slightly, and leaned on the back seat.Although he has improved, his body is still weak and weak. He just wants to sleep well now.

Lian Xun was sitting next to him, looking through the medical records and various examination results from the attending doctor with a cold face.

With a "swipe", the medical record was smashed on the back of the seat in front by Lian Xun.Lian Qing rubbed his temples, sat up and was about to explain when Lian Xun let out a heavy snort.

"If I don't come, when will you inform us?"

Lian Xun's voice was cold and deep, and the suppressed anger was within reach.

"My own business, I handle it myself."

Lian Xun sneered: "Do you think those gossip tabloids will sit here and listen to you say that?"

"I have my plan." Lian Qing replied indifferently, her voice was flat and steady without any fluctuation, and her fingers hidden in her sleeves were slowly clenched: "Don't worry, I will not lose face of the Lian family."

"So I was worrying too much?" Lian Xun squinted at him, his face full of sarcasm, "Then I hope that Professor Lian Da can learn his lesson and don't make the same mistakes again."

The implication in these words made Lian Qing's face turn pale and green in an instant, he wanted to defend something, but he couldn't say a word.He knows what his father is talking about. In the past few months, he has paid a deep price for it, and regretted the mistakes he made countless times-it was because he didn't think carefully enough, so he only counted every omission Started his own fq period.It was because of his impulsiveness that he came up with the bad idea of ​​taking his students home.He was naive and ridiculous, so without a detailed investigation, he thought that taking medicine for a long time would not lead to pregnancy.This step by step is all his own doing.

The discomfort in the abdomen that had calmed down came again, Lian Qing bowed his body and lowered his head, shrinking himself in the corner of the back seat.Lian Xun snorted coldly and stopped asking questions, and instructed the driver to drive back to Lian Qing's apartment.

The Lian family has several villas in Boston, and Lian Xun often lives there on weekdays.This time, in order not to alarm others, Lian Xun directly bought the entire building where Lian Qing lived.When the two went back, the staff who came in and out had already rearranged Lian Xun's room.Furniture, carpets, decorations, and even the towels and toothbrushes used were not spared. Lian Qing advocated the minimalist aesthetics of Japanese style, but in Lian Xun's eyes, it was "out of place".The people who saw this scene really didn't have the strength to argue, so they could only let them continue to toss about inside and out, and just changed their clothes and closed the door to sleep.

The effect of the medicine was still there, and he fell into a drowsy sleep and didn't know the time.When he woke up again, someone was leaning beside him, reading a book with an e-reader.

Hearing the movement, the other party stood up and turned on the bedside lamp: "Ah Qing, are you awake?"

"dad……"

The voice was soft and pleasant, and it belonged to Lian Qing's other father, Lian Jiang.Lian Qing was taken aback. Lian Jiang never set foot in the United States unless it was necessary. Realizing this, the remaining drowsiness immediately disappeared without a trace.

"Why are you here?" Lian Qing got up from the bed, "Where's Daddy?"

In front of Lian Jiang, he never changed the name he called Lian Xun when he was a child.

"I have an appointment." Lian Jiang recalled, "Are you still sleeping?"

"No..." Lian Qing lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed in a panic, "What time is it? Have you eaten yet? Wait for me, there is a home nearby..." Before he finished speaking, Lian Jiang had already pressed the button. off his shoulder.

Lian Qing raised his head and met Shang Lianjiang's smiling eyes: "You are still sick, what's the hurry?"

Lian Qing had no choice but to sit back obediently, letting the other person rummage through the box, and finally threw a thick blanket over: "Go to the living room and lie down, just in time to watch TV. We haven't seen each other for a long time, let's chat."

Lian Jiang's attitude was gentle, but it seemed that he could not refuse. Lian Qing knew that this was an unavoidable talk, so he changed the location very cooperatively.Compared with Lian Xun who is used to being tough, Lian Jiang will at least give him room to explain.This is a fact that he has verified with his own experience over the past 20 years.

The steaming heat lifted the half-covered pot lid, and the sound of gurgling mixed with the aroma spread out.Lian Qing leaned on the sofa, squinting at the figure busy in the kitchen not far away, in a trance.He has lived in this room by himself for many years, and this is the first time that someone other than him is busy in the kitchen.

"What are you thinking about?" Someone rubbed his head, Lian Qing came back to his senses, and found that Lian Jiang had brought out the supper.He is not good at cooking, so he spent a long time tinkering, that is, some sliced ​​fruits and a bowl of porridge.

The bowl was stuffed into Lian Jiang's hand, and Lian Qing took a sip while holding it, and the corners of his mouth could not help but bend.

Lian Jiang raised his eyebrows: "Laugh at me?"

"No." Lian Qing looked up at him, "It tastes exactly the same as the one I made myself." He pointed to the fruit on the plate, "The way to cut watermelon is also the same."

"You learned from me." Lian Jiang picked up a piece of watermelon and stuffed it into his mouth, glanced at him and smiled, "Forgot?"

Lian Qing shook his head.Lian Jiang took him to live in North America and Europe when he was a child, and the years were pleasant and beautiful.Together they played the violin in the underground passage, chased the train together in the cold wind, and jumped into the sea with surfboards in the summer together... The distant but not vague memory pictures go back one by one, and they are in each picture. How could he forget?

Lian Jiang sighed: "It's just that you don't dislike my craftsmanship, and you still say it's delicious. You didn't hear your father's comment. Tsk tsk." He picked up the bowl and took a sip, nodded again, thinking about it to himself He muttered, "But I still think it's pretty good."

"It's delicious." Lian Qing was not hesitant to praise his favorite flavor throughout his childhood.

"Your tongue is like mine." Lian Jiang was quite proud. He sat down next to Lian Qing, and couldn't help but reach out and rub his son's hair. "His hairstyle is like him. It's so ugly."

His attitude is brisk and natural, showing pampering everywhere, silently warming the estrangement and subtle embarrassment between the two who have not seen each other for a long time.Lian Qing bowed his head and gave his head to someone who was shorter than him. He didn't answer, but just stared at the floor, listening to Lian Jiang's babbling.

Lian Jiang had enough of his messy short hair when he just got up, and his hands slipped on his face again, and his head came closer, looking at him closely, "Long face, big nose, small eyes, high cheekbones... you and Ah Xun was carved out of the same mold. Now I can only pray that my granddaughter looks like Xiaoshan, otherwise..."

The limbs of his subordinates suddenly stiffened, and Lian Jiang stopped in surprise: "What's wrong?"

"...Dad, I'm sorry." His profile was sharp and hard, and his voice was deep and hoarse.

Lian Jiang stretched out his arms, hugged Lian Qing into his arms, patted his back with one hand, and stroked his cheek with the other: "What kind of apology is that?"

"I have discredited the Lian family." Lian Qing bit his lip, trying to control rationally, but instinct made his voice choked up a little, "I know I should make a decision earlier, but I can't do anything."

"I do not know what to do……"

The warm embrace made him feel at ease, and tempted him to take off his mask of pretending to be innocent.Lian Qing closed his eyes in frustration, feeling extremely annoyed and guilty for a moment: "Why did this happen...I don't want to...I really don't want to..."

Lian Qing put his head on Lian Jiang's shoulder, and his originally smooth sentences began to fall apart, but Lian Jiang fully understood what he meant.Feeling the trembling of the man in his arms, the father hugged the other more tightly.

Lian Qing was panting heavily, her tall body trembling.Lian Jiang lowered his eyes and patted his back lightly, like patting a crying boy in his arms many years ago.Time flies, that little boy has grown into a handsome and handsome man, but in Lian Jiang's eyes, these decades are just the difference between yesterday and today, and he seems to be able to hear Lian Qing's childish voice in a trance.

——"I hate this body. I hate Lianjia." The 12-year-old boy murmured in his arms with red eyes, "Why am I an orc or a female? Why?"

——"I want to stay in the United States to study. This is my choice. No matter whether you agree or not, no matter what father's opinion is, it can't stop me from realizing my dream. Maybe my dream is very ridiculous to you, but This is my life and I have the right to choose."

Lian Qing still maintains the habit of communicating with Lian Jiang every week. He wrote in the email that the words are unshakable and firm.

——"You asked me if Miss Xu and I were serious. To be honest, I don't want to waste time on this question. One day I may like someone, but that day is too far away for me now. There is too much There are so many things to think about, too many plans to execute, and no room for the luxury of affection."

At the age of 21, a tabloid reported Lian Qing's scandal.Lian Qing replied to Lian Jiang's email.

"You once said that in the future, I will encounter many things I don't like, people I hate, and the status quo that cannot be changed. Every decision, I have to make independently and take responsibility for the results of the decision. Faith and reality , there is always a gap, and the road in between is difficult and lonely. I have experienced this feeling recently."

During his Ph.D. study, Lian Qing talked about his confusion in one of the few unsolicited letters.

"In the last letter, you compared yourself to an old house, and lamented that you were not the most important part of my life. However, you were, and maybe not the most, but still very important. I haven't been back often in recent years. Home, with your sharpness, you must have known the reason. But you don’t have to feel guilty about it. Loneliness and busyness bring me closer to my goal, I enjoy it, and I haven’t tired of it yet.”

At the age of 25, Lian Qing rejected the arrangement of his family and accepted the text message sent to Lian Jiang before he was appointed as a professor of X University.

"I have taken in a very interesting student. If you come to teach him, he should improve faster than he is now. In him, I saw the gift from heaven, and I also saw something that I once wanted very much. They Humanoid, why can he always appear to be without any fear, why is his mind full of joy and pleasure in this world? I am really curious about the scenery he sees in his eyes."

At the age of 32, Lian Qing has rarely communicated with him, and this is one of the few messages he sent on his own initiative on the instant messaging software.

As Lian Jiang's closest friend in his teenage years, Lian Jiang knew his son very well.Like Lian Xun, he was born with a responsible fate, but unlike Lian Xun's silent acceptance, Lian Qing has been fighting hard.With yourself, with your family, with your relatives.He is rigorous and introverted by nature, bound by the moral rules of the world, but regards self-power as the standard, always looking, seeking, and acting, never satisfied.

In this situation, the reason why Lian Qing is fatally attractive to Lian Qing is very clear for the kind of person who has no scruples, no fear, and lives a life of self and authenticity.

And that's why Lian Jiang called Su Shan immediately after receiving the news.
