Seventh time

An's mother was ready to fight a protracted battle. After that day, she talked with An Xin many times, reprimanding, crying, and intimidating. Xin went to their school, but seeing that An Xin was determined to be with Xia Lingchuan, her heart became more and more desperate.

One night, Xia Lingchuan received a text message from an unfamiliar number.

"Mr. Xia, I want to talk to you."

Although there was no signature, Xia Lingchuan could completely think of who sent it. He pondered for a moment, then replied with the name and address of a 24-hour cafe, and then took the car keys and coat and went out.

After waiting in the cafe for a while, mother an and father an appeared in front of him.

The waiter brought two cups of green tea, obviously ordered by Xia Lingchuan in advance, Mama An glanced at him and said nothing, she knew that Xia Lingchuan was not completely unprepared, not only did she understand the other party clearly, but also the other party Get used to your preferences.

Mother An wasn't as hysterical as she was when she was facing her son, but now she was terribly calm.

"Mr. Xia, I'm sorry for asking you out so late," Mother An said flatly, "It's just that there are some things that I don't think can be delayed any longer."

Xia Lingchuan nodded silently, waiting for Mama An to continue.

"In the past few days, I've been so angry at An Xin. This child has made up his mind since he was a child, and now that he's grown up, he doesn't listen." Mama An spoke slowly, her voice full of exhaustion.

Xia Lingchuan looked at her quietly, and his heart trembled.

Mother An was still very young, but in just a few days, many gray hairs grew on her head, and she seemed to have aged several years.

"I asked An Xin, he was the one who confessed to you first... After all, this kid is still young, his vision is not as broad as those of you who have been abroad, and his mind is immature, so he might treat that kind of good friend The affection between them is regarded as love... Teacher Xia, can you also treat his words as the immature thoughts of a child?"

Xia Lingchuan said calmly: "He is already 21 years old, he is not so childish that he can't recognize his own feelings."

Mama An paused, she seemed to know that Xia Lingchuan would not give up so easily, she continued patiently: "Have you thought about the future when you are together? After all, two men are not the way normal people walk... "

"Auntie, homosexuality is not abnormal. Many countries in the West have passed bills legalizing gay marriage..." Xia Lingchuan said with difficulty.

Mama An waved her hand: "You don't need to tell me how foreign countries are. I have never been abroad, so I don't know what they are like. I only know that this is China. Our family cannot accept homosexuality. I have to watch An Xin grow up. As an adult, you will marry a wife and have children, and then live your life in peace... Teacher Xia, you are so good, you will definitely find someone who is many times better than Anxin in the future, just let Anxin go, I beg you... ..."

Xia Lingchuan fell silent, his expression showed no sadness or joy, but his hands were clenched unconsciously, and his nails pinched his palms so painfully.

"Mr. Xia, Anxin doesn't listen to us and insists on being with you... If that's the case, then I can only pretend that I never had his son... Do you want him to just give up his family and his parents? ? Do you think you can completely replace us and give him a complete home?"

Xia Lingchuan's face was pale, and Mama An's words were like sharp arrows, each of which pierced his heart fiercely, every word piercing his heart.

"My attitude is very firm. Between us and you, Anxin can only choose one. You...Think about it carefully." Mama An finished speaking unhurriedly, then pulled Papa An to stand up, said goodbye and left cafe.

After they left, Xia Lingchuan closed his eyes and leaned back weakly, tears that could no longer be suppressed slowly fell from the corners of his eyes.

Since An's mother came, An Xin hasn't had a good night's sleep, and she feels groggy every day even in class.

He was taking a nap in class that day when he suddenly felt the phone vibrate in his pocket.He took out his mobile phone in a daze, and when he saw the message from Xia Lingchuan, he immediately woke up.

An Xin clicked on WeChat and saw that the message he sent was a voice message, and immediately felt something was wrong.

Xia Lingchuan knew his class schedule like the back of his hand, and would never text him during his class.Today is so abnormal, what happened?

Anxin secretly plugged in the earphones, turned on Xia Lingchuan's voice, and heard him say in a slightly hoarse voice, "Baby, I want to see you."

An Xin was stunned for a moment, and replied, "Where are you?"

Xia Lingchuan quickly replied: "Riverside Square."

An Xin thought for a while, took advantage of the teacher's turning around to write on the blackboard, sneaked out from the back door, then ran to the school gate, took a taxi directly to the riverside square.

Xia Lingchuan faced the river, put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, and stood quietly at the original place, the place where he first picked up Anxin by accident, the place where the two expressed their hearts to each other.

In the chilly wind, Xia Lingchuan's slender figure looked extremely lonely and lonely.

An Xin quickly ran towards him.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching from far behind, Xia Lingchuan turned around and opened his arms towards him with a smile.

An Xin threw herself into his arms, her face was flushed red by the cold wind.

The two hugged quietly for a while, Anxin raised her head and asked him: "What's the matter so anxious to find me? Did my mother tell you something?"

Xia Lingchuan nodded calmly: "Yes."

An Xin suddenly became nervous: "What did she tell you? How did you respond to her? Did she scold you? Did she do anything?"

"No, you don't have to be so nervous." Xia Lingchuan smiled slightly, reaching out to tie the scarf around his neck.

Xia Lingchuan's smile was as warm and friendly as usual, but Anxin's heart became more and more uneasy.

He faintly felt that something was wrong.

Xia Lingchuan was silent for a moment, looked into his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Baby, I love you."

An Xin has already determined what happened, and some things have begun to escape his control.He looked at Xia Lingchuan nervously, and asked tremblingly, "You, what's wrong with you?"

"Let's break up." Xia Lingchuan's deep eyes were so calm that there was no ripple.

An Xin was stunned for a while, and then tentatively opened her mouth in disbelief: "You, what did you say?"

Xia Lingchuan lowered his eyes, with a helpless smile on his lips, he repeated what he said just now: "Let's break up."

An Xin felt as if she was in an ice cave, and the chill spread from the bottom of her heart to her whole body bit by bit.

"Why?" He heard his own voice asking subconsciously, "Didn't it be agreed that no matter what the consequences are, we have to face them together? You said that? Do you remember?"

Xia Lingchuan sighed softly, and interrupted him: "That's right, I said it, but I forgot some things, which I will never be able to face, I'm sorry."

Anxin grabbed his arm in a panic, as if she was afraid that he would leave soon, and said in a trembling voice: "Why? You, what you said is not true... No, did my mother say something to you? She What did you say?!"

Xia Lingchuan hugged him distressedly, and whispered in his ear: "Anxin, listen to me."

"... Tell me." An Xin forced herself to calm down.

"Anxin, I can't let you lose your parents just because you're with me."

"Then can I lose you?!"

"I grew up without parents." Xia Lingchuan said flatly.

An Xin stared at him intently: "I know...then what?"

"Didn't you ask me how they died? Now I can tell you. They died in a car accident together when I was ten years old."

"My parents are both emergency doctors at the largest hospital in the city. That night, an emergency patient was sent to their hospital. The condition was very critical and they needed consultation from a general practitioner. So they drove to the hospital in the middle of the night. I was I was still young, and they didn’t wake me up. Later, there was a car accident on the road, and it was a series of car accidents. It was very difficult to rescue them. They were stuck in the narrow compartment and stopped breathing before rescue.”

Xia Lingchuan paused for a moment, then continued: "Aren't you always wondering, why do I have to use this powerful and powerful music as my ringtone? I said it's because it's not easy to miss calls... I On the night when their parents passed away, they were trapped in the small compartment. They probably knew they didn’t have much time, so they wanted to say a few words to me one last time, so they struggled to call me...but my mobile phone rang too loudly. Light, I slept soundly, I didn’t hear more than a dozen calls, only to see more than a dozen missed calls when I woke up in the morning, I called back, and only heard a reminder that the other party had turned off the phone... That’s it, I Missed the last chance to hear their voices."

An Xin stared at him blankly, tears flooded her eyes unknowingly.

"Later, my uncle and cousin took me into their home. My uncle and aunt treated me very well, just like my own son, my cousin was like my own brother, and my grandma always loved me...even though , but the lost parents are still irreplaceable by anyone. In order not to worry my grandma, I seem to have walked out of the sadness quickly on the surface, but every night, I will cry from my dream alone Wake up. No one can understand this feeling."

"I was afraid of waking up in the dead of night and seeing an empty bedroom, so I bought a lot of plush toys and filled the whole room. At that time, boys of my age were all keen on remote control cars and Transformers, and only I was interested in all kinds of plush toys. They don’t know the reason for the unspeakable obsession with plush toys, and they even laughed at me for being like a girl... In fact, it’s just because the plush toys are soft when you hold them, just like holding my mother’s hand.”

"When I grew up, I still chose the same medical major as my parents. I went to university, took the postgraduate entrance examination, and went abroad. I thought that I would forget all this when I left this city and China. But the first night in the United States , I woke up crying from my dream... I was 23 years old that year, but I cried like a ten-year-old child at night. Early the next morning, I went to the store and bought countless plush toys and piled them in the bedroom The roommate who shared the rent was very weird, but I didn't tell him the reason. So in the United States in those years, I was always a strange guy in their eyes."

Listening to his faint narration, An Xin's face was full of tears, sobbing so hard that she couldn't make a sound.

"Don't cry, baby, it's all over..." Xia Lingchuan smiled and reached out to wipe his tears, "I lived without my parents for 16 years, so I know how sad it is to be without parents, because of this , I can't let you lose your parents too... I don't want you to experience that sad feeling. "

"Anxin, I really love you, so I don't want you to be so sad."

"Don't hate your parents, they love you only a lot more than I do."

"sorry."

……

At night, the sky began to icy rain.

Holding umbrellas, An's mother and An's father found An Xin who was sitting there alone by the river.

"Son..." Mother An hugged him distressedly.

An Xin turned her head in a daze, and said hoarsely, "Mom."

"Why are you bothering... There will be better people in the future, go back with mom, okay?"

An Xin smiled sadly: "Mom, no one will ever love me more than him."

"You know, he's really a nice person... We met here for the first time, but I don't even remember it. At that time, I was drunk because of a broken relationship, and I called him by the wrong number. They ran out to find me and sent me to the hotel..."

"It was also here that we confessed our love for the first time. It was my birthday. He was very careful and knew what I wanted. He saw the renderings on my desk in my dormitory and gave them to me on my birthday. My model... When I told him that I liked him, he actually said that he liked me too...Mom, do you know, I thought I was the happiest person in the world at that time..."

"This is where we broke up... He really, really loves me... Do you know why he broke up with me? Because he had no parents since he was a child, and he said he knew how sad it is to lose his parents, so he I can't bear to be so sad... He also told me not to hate you, he said that your love for me is only a lot more than him..."

Mother An was stunned, she never thought that Xia Lingchuan would say such a thing.

"But, I'm still so sad now..." There was a smile on An Xin's pale face, but this smile was more sorrowful than crying.

Mother Ann looked at her son in bewilderment.

Papa An behind him sighed heavily.
