Just don't get divorced [Interstellar]

Chapter 15 [The Last Straw]

Passing through the narrow and winding alley familiarly, he stopped in front of an old gate.

The Fly Alley echoes the aristocratic district on the hill not far away, and it is only a road away, but it is a well-known slum in the urban area.

Row upon row of low and dilapidated houses, surrounded by soaring high-rise buildings, seemed out of place with this highly civilized city.

And this dilapidated place was Yan Shuqing's home.

Since he was adopted by his adoptive father when he was three years old, he has lived here for more than 20 years. Now looking at the familiar street, his heart, which was disturbed by Jin Heng just now, gradually calmed down. Maybe it was because too many things happened in the past two days. Standing here for a while, he realized that he was so homesick, and even Jin Heng's decision to throw him here without authorization was not so hard to accept.

When I was lost in memory, a familiar voice came from a distance, "Hey, isn't this Xiaoyan, you came back to see your parents today?"

Yan Shuqing looked back and saw that it was his neighbor, Uncle Zhang, and immediately smiled, "Yes, I'll come back to see if the military department is not busy today. How are your legs and feet recently?"

"Haha, okay, okay, you kid is really caring, you have to ask me every time you see me, it's much better than my bad son, I've seen all your military exploits on TV, good guy The young man is so energetic, you really live up to your dad."

Uncle Zhang patted his leg and said with a smile, "Your father praises you now when he meets everyone. When he mentions you as the son of a major, his eyes almost disappear from laughter. He also said the day before yesterday that you are going to be promoted to a colonel soon. Is it true? If it is true, then congratulations, you are the only senior official who has come out of the Alley of Flies!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shuqing's scalp immediately went numb, and he quickly waved his hands, "What's the matter, don't listen to my dad's nonsense, he likes to find people to talk nonsense, in the future, just don't listen to him. No, let me carry these dishes for you."

As he spoke, he picked up Uncle Zhang and hurriedly changed the subject. He really didn't want to hear the neighbors bring up this matter. He didn't understand that he was only a small major, and it was hard to say whether he would be able to keep it tomorrow. To show off.

He sighed helplessly in his heart, after seeing off Uncle Zhang, it was already dark.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door, and after a while, his stepmother's voice came from inside, "Who is it?"

"Aunt Zhang, it's me, Shuqing, I'm back." Yan Shuqing responded with a smile, but there was no sound from the door for a while.

After a long time, the door opened with a "creak" sound, and a middle-aged woman peeped out, glanced at him, and said with a strange expression, "Why are you back?"

In the past, every time he came back, Aunt Zhang would always smile, but now that she hadn't seen him for so long, not only did she not show any enthusiasm, she didn't even show a smile. Have you been missing you and my dad for too long, Aunt Zhang, don't you miss me?"

These words made Aunt Zhang's expression even weirder. She stared at him for a long time before she turned around and smiled, "Okay, come in first. Your dad always talked about you before, so this time it can be regarded as a slap in the face for you." Hope to come back."

"Old man, look who's back." She said as she walked into the living room, returning to her usual enthusiasm, as if the indifference just now was just Yan Shuqing's illusion.

He was puzzled, and couldn't help but look up at her more, but apart from her being a little fatter than before, there was nothing wrong with her.

When he walked into the living room, Yan Zhongwei was eating. When he looked up and saw him, his expression immediately sank. Before Yan Shuqing could say hello, he put the chopsticks on the table, "What are you doing back?"

The abruptness of the question made Yan Shuqing choke on the spot, almost thinking that he had gone to the wrong door.

Whenever he came back before, Yan Zhongwei didn't greet Yan Zhongwei with a smile. What happened today made his attitude towards him suddenly change. Could it be that he disliked him for not coming back for a long time, so he was angry?

Thinking of this, he quickly sat down at the dining table, smiled and leaned forward, "Dad, don't be angry, I have reasons for not coming back for so long, and you also know that this war will last for ten days and a half months, it's not my fault." As soon as you have free time, come and see—"

Before he finished speaking, Yan Zhongwei shook off his arm, "Did I ask you to sit down? You stand aside for me."

"...Dad?" Yan Shuqing froze and raised her head in disbelief.

"Old man, it's rare for your son to come back. What are you doing? If you have anything to say, let's talk after dinner."

Aunt Zhang next to her hurried forward to smooth things over, and waved to Yan Shuqing, "Come on, Shuqing, I have some dishes you like today, please sit down and try them."

"Don't sit down!"

Yan Zhongwei slammed the chopsticks on the table, and one of them flew out because of too much force, almost hitting Yan Shuqing's eyes.

"If you stay outside obediently and don't come in my eyes, I don't bother to care about you, but today you committed such a big thing and dare to enter this house, I can't easily forgive you!"

"Dad, what did I do wrong to deserve your anger? You made me confused..." Yan Shuqing stood where he was, with a dazed expression on his face.

Yan Zhongwei sneered immediately when he heard it, "Don't call each other so close, I'm not as disgusting as you..."

Before he had time to say the following words, Aunt Zhang next to him quickly gave him a wink. Angrily, he put away his fists and slapped the table fiercely: "You still pretend to be stupid and don't say yes!" Right? If someone from the military department didn’t come to your door today, wouldn’t I have to wait until you were directly fired by the military department to know what good deeds you have done!”

"You kid is capable now. Even the general dared to rush into such a catastrophe. The people from the military department blocked the door. I have to apologize to you. Am I being too lenient to you to let you go?" Are you so presumptuous? I worked so hard to raise you and send you to the military academy, hoping that one day you would become a high-ranking official and shine in the family. Dare to fight against Admiral Wang, do you know that he can pinch you to death with one finger, you are a fart in his eyes!"

"It's all right now. Everyone in the street thought you were going to be promoted to colonel, but in the end you were going to be expelled from the military. Where do you put my old face!?"

Hearing the word "Military Department", Yan Shuqing had no time to think about anything else, and suddenly raised his head, "You said the people from the Military Department came today? What did they say, and did they do anything to you?"

Yan Zhongwei's expression flickered for a moment, and some complicated and stern emotions flashed across, and then he said sharply, "You are a bandit, and they are looking for you. What can you do to us? If you didn't make a big fuss today Ministry, how could someone come to your door!"

Yan Shuqing never expected that Wang Chongshan's people would come to his door and make up such a lie, and couldn't help but snort, they are better than bandits than bandits.

"Dad, this matter is very complicated. I can't explain it clearly for a while, but it is definitely not what you think—"

"You don't need to make so many excuses, I only know that you offended the general, and now you can't even keep your job, that's the truth!"

Yan Zhongwei didn't give Yan Shuqing a chance to explain, and interrupted him arbitrarily, "I don't care if the military has wronged you, anyway, since they came to you today, it means that they still want to give you a chance. Honestly go back and apologize to Admiral Wang, and you have to stay in the military headquarters for me no matter what, if you don’t live up to your expectations, don’t drag the whole family down to death!”

Yan Zhongwei's ruthless attitude made Yan Shuqing's heart cool down a little bit. Looking up at his furious appearance, he suddenly felt an unprecedented exhaustion. After a long silence, he said in a low voice, "I didn't do anything wrong, and I didn't do anything wrong. I will admit my mistake to Wang Chongshan, even if I really leave the military headquarters one day, I can still use my labor to live a decent life, there is nothing shameful about it."

"Snapped!"

A slap was slapped on the face at the moment the words landed, and Yan Shuqing's mouth was instantly filled with the smell of blood.

"I didn't raise you so big to make you embarrass me! If you can't stay in the military, don't go back to this family. I don't have such an unworthy son!"

After saying this, he turned and walked into the bedroom without looking back, and slammed the door hard with a "bang".

Silently watching the back of him leaving, Yan Shuqing wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth after a while, and hooked the corner of his mouth in a self-deprecating manner.

It turned out that when he was in military service, he was used as a talking point to show off everywhere, so he almost forgot that before he entered the military academy, he was beaten by Yan Zhongwei from childhood to adulthood, and now seeing that his military rank is not guaranteed, he has become a heinous sinner of this family , so what is he to this family?

***

Yan Shuqing didn't remember how he returned to the bedroom, nor how he fell asleep in a daze, as if he had fallen into a boundless dream, and when he opened his eyes, it was already early morning.

Rubbing his sore forehead, he felt that he had a low fever. He staggered outside to get a glass of water, but he heard whispers from the next door.

The night was so quiet, he didn't even need to listen, the voices of Yan Zhongwei and Aunt Zhang could be clearly heard in his ears.

"...Are you really planning to ignore him? After all, he is also your son."

Aunt Zhang's soft voice sounded, and Yan Zhongwei snorted coldly, "Son? I think it's almost like a daughter. If someone from the military department told me about this today, I don't know how long this kid would have kept it a secret. Back then, I knew he was a The sword bearer picked him up, and now when he gave me a face, he turned into a monster with neither male nor female, what a bad luck!"

The sharp and harsh words seemed to stab into his chest instantly, and the word "monster" made Yan Shu freeze in place, and the blood on his face faded away in an instant.

It turned out that the military department even told them about this matter... and this adoptive father who used to keep saying that he was proud of him, the first thing he worried about was not his injuries, but his unmasculine body would embarrass him ...

When Aunt Zhang in the room heard this, she couldn't help chuckling, "What you're saying now sounds good. No one can say for sure about genetic mutations. Maybe one day he will turn back into a sword bearer. If he still holds the rank of major, don’t you have to treat him like a baby bump? How will you remember me and our children then.”

Hearing this, Yan Zhongwei frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about? No matter how you say it, he is an outsider picked up. How can he compare with our own son? We can pave the way for our son in the future, but he turned his nose up and got into trouble with the military. It seems that his military rank can't be kept, so what's the use of keeping him."

"If you want a military rank but no military rank, if you want to be successful, you will not be promising. In the future, you will still be a monster who is stabbed by men. When I think of him now, I feel sick and want to vomit. I only hope that you can live up to this in your stomach now, and you will be let I'll save some time, too."

Aunt Zhang giggled, "Your attitude has changed quickly enough. Yesterday you praised that kid like a flower, but today you know it's useless, so you kick it away. According to you, if this guy is in my stomach If you are obedient, you will also drive our mother and daughter out of the house?"

"What stupid things are you talking about? This is my own son. You can't bear to part with me."

The two of them made fun of each other, but Yan Shuqing outside the door felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He bit his lips tightly to prevent himself from making a sound. Because his fingertips had pierced his skin so hard, he didn't even stop bleeding. Notice.

Now he finally understands why he felt that Aunt Zhang was a bit weird when he entered the door. It turned out that she was pregnant, and the adoptive father and stepmother finally had their own child, so his adopted son, who was no longer of any use value, could be easily taken away. gave up...

The reality was as cold as ice, he thought that at least this home could give him the last bit of warmth, but it was this adoptive father whom he treated as his biological father, who gave him the deadliest knife when he had no way out.

After so many years, even raising a dog should have feelings, but what about him...

Yan Shuqing couldn't think any more, turned around and opened the door without hesitation, and ran out like a headless chicken.

His eye sockets were sore as if warm liquid would flow out in a second. He raised his head, his eye sockets were flushed, and he didn't want to make himself so embarrassed, but the world was so big that he found a place to stay this night.

The cold moonlight fell on the ground, and he stared blankly at the endless night in front of him. Just when he was in a trance, a hot and powerful hand suddenly hugged him, and his back hit a hard chest.

"Why...it's you?" Yan Shuqing looked up in surprise, but unexpectedly saw Jin Heng's face.

He stood against the light, the expression on his face was unclear, and the light source behind him cast a hazy halo on his body. In such a lonely and boundless environment, he unexpectedly had the power to soothe people's hearts.
