cheat

Li Fan hung up the phone immediately after hearing that sentence, without even a second of hesitation, let alone a response, and the person named Li Kun didn't call again.

The relationship between them seems to have a tacit understanding because of the years. It seems that I have conveyed it. If you don’t come back, I can’t interfere. Or, I told you, but you don’t say anything, and I know you will come back. .

Li Fan finally went back home.

As a result, after returning to school after the summer vacation, his classmates asked Li Fan how his summer vacation was. Li Fan's mind was filled with only that time when he went home. Other than that, he couldn't think of anything special.

Li Fan curled one corner of his mouth, and said cheerfully: "Is it summer vacation? I'll sleep at home, sleep for ninety-nine and 81 days."

The front desk looked contemptuous: "Blow it, you don't need money to brag."

……

He remembered that he contacted the only old housekeeper who was still available to talk to at home that day, and he specifically called back at the time of dinner, because he was afraid of embarrassment during the time waiting for dinner, afraid that he would not be able to pretend, and couldn't help but get angry. It's also ridiculous. Going back to your own home feels like a guest.

He remembered that he was the same in this city, he was a guest everywhere, and he returned home nowhere, so it didn't matter.

Li Fan walked through the small garden in front of the door. When his mother was still there, he liked to grow some out-of-place winter melons, cucumbers and small tomatoes in the small garden. He watered and fertilized himself every day without relying on others. They could harvest every year. A few big melons cannot be planted in winter, and Li Fan's mother will take care of the withered melon seedlings herself.

It’s just that one winter, the withered and yellow melon seedlings in the small garden were unattended, and they were hardened by the sun, entangled on the melon shed, and then the melon shed was demolished together. A woman planted all kinds of melons here. The flowers have taken on a new look, and they really look like a small garden.

That woman was originally the manager of the food and beverage department of his father's hotel. She was young, beautiful and capable. She didn't know what happened. Later, she became his father's true love. She didn't work in the hotel. She lived directly at home and became a full-time family. housewife.

Li Fan has a very sensitive sense of smell, resists all kinds of strong and pungent smells, and is even allergic to some flower fragrances. He only feels that every cell in his respiratory tract is protesting that he wants to leave here.

Open the door and come back, and you can hear the sound of a family talking and laughing in the entrance.

Li Kun's voice was quite gentle: "Little baby, come on, call Dad."

After that, the child babbled and said "ba-ba-"

The middle-aged men and women couldn't stop laughing.

Li Fan remembers that his father used to have a sullen face all day long, and would hit his palms if he did something trivial wrong. call out.

I just don't know why that person at that time is now kind-hearted all day long, probably because he is old?

The two people on the sofa in the living room were still laughing next to each other. Their eldest son who was in elementary school was not there. Li Fan knew that he was avoiding him on purpose. They had a fierce fight when they came back. Li Fan was not at all older. With a little bit of consciousness, they all pinched each other hard.

There was a one or two-year-old little girl with twin ponytails sitting on Li Kun's lap. Li Fan didn't feel like disturbing others at all, so he abruptly inserted: "I'm back."

Li Kun, who had his back turned to him, sat up straight when he heard this. He turned around, and just about to say something, the woman next to him had already spoken: "Fanfan is back? It's been a long time since I saw Fanfan again. You are so handsome, we have been waiting for you to eat!"

The woman's name was Chen Li'an, and she was Li Fan's nominal stepmother. After she finished speaking, Li Kun added with a smile: "You didn't tell me you came back today, but Uncle Chang told me."

When Li Fan asked Uncle Chang when the dinner was scheduled, he already thought that Uncle Chang would inform Li Kun, so he didn't bother to send another message. He ignored Li Kun's words and just looked at Chen Li'an on the sofa without emotion. Said: "How many times have I said, Fanfan is also your name? Hypocrisy."

In this world, only his mother can call him Fanfan.

"Li Fan!" Li Kun frowned as soon as he accepted the gentleness before, and yelled directly at Li Fan: "How many times have I taught you, no matter how big or how small!"

The child on Li Kun's lap may have been frightened, and he couldn't understand why his father suddenly became fierce. He was stunned for a while, and then burst into tears. Caught on his mother.

The woman on the sofa could only smile awkwardly, hugged the child, and patted the child's back: "Baby, don't cry, don't cry, brother is playing with dad..."

Li Fan had a headache, but he still couldn't hold it back. Every time he went home, he was in a panic. He didn't know why he insisted on coming back to find this abuser.

I don't know if I feel that if he ignores his father, maybe he has no connection with this world.

At least there are people who are biologically related, although he doesn't care about this relationship at all.

Well, it doesn't matter if you don't, this time he thought so.

Li Fan felt very tired. Going home once was more tiring than anything else. He continued to ignore the anger in Li Kun's eyes, turned around and walked to the restaurant, and said in a nonchalant tone: "If you still have dinner, come now, eat I'll leave when I'm done, without disturbing your eyes."

He originally planned to stay for one night, but he almost didn't recognize his room.

The table for eating is still the small rectangular solid wood table before. In the past, his father sat at the main seat, and Li Fan and his mother sat opposite each other. Uncle Chang would also sit and eat with them at that time. Mother Fan insisted.

It's the same now, Chen Li'an is sitting opposite Li Fan, holding the child who just coaxed in her arms, the child sucks his thumb, squints his tearful eyes, and sleeps comfortably, only to hear her softly say: "Uncle Chang, help me Take the child back to the room to sleep, it's time."

Li Fan glanced at the child in Chen Li'an's arms, and said, as if he hadn't heard this sentence, "Wouldn't Uncle Chang come over for dinner?"

Uncle Chang, who was about to go upstairs with the child in his arms, stopped in his tracks. He was very worried about Li Fan. He had watched Li Fan grow up. Changed, he looked at Li Kun's face, smiled helplessly and said, "I've eaten."

There was a moment of silence at the dinner table. Li Kun, who is well-versed in business, rarely took a moment to sort out his expression. He loses his temper when he gets old. Li Fan: "How is the school?"

Li Fan picked up the food and swallowed a mouthful, without looking at anyone, cherishing the words like gold: "It's so good."

Li Kun didn't mind either, and said with a smile, "I asked your English teacher. She said that after reading your test paper this time, she said that your English has improved a lot. I remember that it was always your shortcoming."

Li Fan ate by himself and didn't respond, thinking: It's not your credit for learning well.

Li Kun gestured to the woman next to him with his eyes, and continued to say to Li Fan: "Your aunt heard about it, and specially prepared a gift for you to reward you."

After hearing this, Chen Li'an quickly picked up a box from the chair next to her, handed it to Li Fan, and said with a smile, "Actually, I didn't prepare anything special. This is the peace talisman I asked for in the temple. I prayed for it for everyone in the family." I got one, and this one is yours."

Li Fan smiled in his heart, and didn't think about reaching out to pick it up. He would never forgive and admit this stepmother. After talking, he sneered like self-torture: "Peace charm? You should wish I could go with my mother." Come on!"

"Slap!" Before Chen Li'an could react, Li Kun slapped Li Fan directly on the face. His anger seemed to be uncontrollable. The box was placed next to Li Fan's rice bowl.

Li Kun felt a little dazed after doing these actions, and he didn't realize it. After a long time, he said: "...you have grown up, I shouldn't hit you, but is it appropriate for you to talk about it all day long?" ?ah?"

Hit, it's not like I haven't hit before, pretending to be a loving father, Li Fan licked the corner of his mouth, didn't speak, didn't look at his father who was angry and angry, calmly put a vegetable into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and finally I found out that the cheeks were really painful, and his father was ruthless.

Thinking back, he committed suicide childishly because of some things in junior high school. However, he was standing on the roof at that time, trembling for a long time, but he didn't dare to jump down. He was finally found and dragged down, and he had a high fever when he went back.

Only after that time did he realize that he was afraid of heights, probably due to psychological reasons. He remembered that he didn't do it earlier. Suicide must be very painful. Now he really feels that death is worse than life.

There is no hurdle that can't be overcome, it's just the length of time.

It was hard to go home, and Li Kun didn't want to make the scene so stiff, he calmed down again, and tried to make his tone not so tough: "I know you are a very independent child, and you usually don't need family members. What are you worrying about, you will be in your third year of high school next semester, and when you come back this time, Dad mainly wants to tell you one thing—"

Li Kun: "Dad and aunt are going to send you abroad to study in university."

Chen Li'an forced a smile, and interjected: "You guys say, I'm full, go upstairs to see the baby."

Li Fan didn't talk to Li Kun all night. After hearing this sentence, he finally put down the bowl, looked Li Kun straight in the eyes, and said with a smile, "Are you discussing with me or..."

Li Kun missed Li Fan's sight and stared at the dish in front of him. He couldn't look into the child's eyes. He knew he was sorry for the child, but he didn't know how to make it up. Give him a chance: "Of course it's a discussion, can I force you?"

Li Fan smiled: "Thank you, I won't go."

Li Fan didn't look at Li Kun again. He took the napkin and wiped his mouth. He walked towards the door in a leisurely manner without turning his head. If you don’t want to see me, don’t call me next time to ask me to come back.”

Why send it abroad.

Li Fan held a deep breath in his heart, until he took the car back to the entrance of the hotel, the breath remained silent.The moment he got out of the car, he took a few quick breaths, the lights in front of him gradually became choppy, and he finally couldn't hold on anymore, so he squatted down on the spot.

On the street with neon lights, in front of the bright hotel entrance, he hugged his knees like a wronged child, and said in a low voice, "Mom...I didn't miss you at all recently...but I, but now really miss you……"

He grasped the pendant on his chest through his clothes, as if he wanted to grab the piece of meat that was in his heart, and his knees were wet with tears. This summer vacation, there was only this sentence left: "Mom, I miss you so much."

……

"Li Fan." Class monitor Yang Kuanjin came over suddenly, quite embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "...Don't we have a civilized class evaluation this semester, and we need to sort out a lot of materials in the second year of high school-can you help me .”

Hua Cheng, who lay on his side on the table and fell asleep while listening to Li Fan and others talking nonsense, slowly opened one eye after hearing this, and looked at Yang Kuanjin with a nervous expression.
