I can't run away after agreeing to fall in love

No echo.

Tang Lin smiled, looked at the sofa in front of him with his eyes, and said with a smile: "Sit down and chat for a while, I have heard people mention you, and I heard that you will be able to evaluate a professor soon? When I met the other day, I thought It is extraordinary, and I never found a suitable opportunity to visit."

"No, it's because I don't know etiquette, so I didn't visit your house." Shen Shitang straightened his back, looked ahead, and paused, "There are still many seniors who are older and better than me, how dare I Get the ax out of class."

"You don't have to be so reserved with me, you and my two grandsons are friends." Tang Lin looked at Shen Shitang, "You can also call me grandpa."

"Thanks for taking care of me." Shen Shitang felt that his teeth were chattering a little, and he faced Tang Yingqiu's family behind his own initiative, and the sense of oppression brought by Tang Lin was far heavier than other people, even if it was just a simple chat.

"As for Xiaoqiu's mother, she left when he was very young. The wicked son was unfaithful. When I found out, Xiaochu was already in his teens. I couldn't let him stay outside with the blood of the Tang family... Xiaoqiu Qiu was raised by me, children are immature, I’m here to personally apologize to you for offending you.”

"No, no..." Shen Zhitang hurriedly stood up to help the stumbling old man.

"As for Xiaoqiu's generation, it is the generation of Ying. He used to be called Yingqiu, but when Xiaochu came back, Niezi forced him to change his name. Ying Ying, Xiaochu didn't call Ying after that. Chu, but Yingqiu will always be called Yingqiu, you say it’s a coincidence, both children were born on the autumnal equinox, and Xiaoqiu has never had a birthday since he was a child, because he wants his parents to spend it with him.” Tang Lin smiled. She smiled, "Xiaoqiu asked me before why he wanted to live with his grandfather differently from others. The child is pitiful, and he has no concept of playing a family."

It was the first time for Shen Zhitang to hear the story about Tang Yingqiu, and also the first time to hear the story of Ai Chu in different versions. For a while, he had mixed feelings, and felt a little pain in his heart. He didn't know that the children at home seemed heartless. , but experienced such a thing.

"As for me, I accidentally learned about your family background, and I feel sorry for you, but it is also because of this, I believe you can understand Xiaoqiu's emotions better. Xiaochu is a very ambitious child, and I have already old."

Shen Shitang responded, the old man's voice was not loud, but it gave people an extreme sense of oppression.

"I have been lucky enough to know a few of them, and I don't think it's a disease or anything else. I just believe what I saw with my own eyes. They didn't end well." Tang Lin's voice was steady and emotionless, "You are Xiaoqiu's teacher, and I also admit that you are his nominal... lover who is neither proper nor tolerated by society."

"Xiaoqiu is still very immature, he doesn't know what he wants, but you know it, right?"

Tang Lin's long words made Shen Shitang stunned, his thinking stopped working, maybe it was because of his glasses, his vision was a little blurry, and finally he spoke with difficulty, "Yes..."

"My subsequent arrangement is to send him abroad." Tang Lin smiled, "Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understand."

"I will pay you a sum of money to solve your current problems. If you encounter problems at work, you can come to me. Even if you retire, you still have a little old face and you have to give people face."

After Tang Lin finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Shen Shitang opened the door, only to find that this was the young man he had seen before. The two of them nodded slightly as a greeting. The young man pushed the wheelchair and walked to Tang Lin's side. He helped Tang Lin to sit down.

"I don't need you to help me with this. I will try my best to complete what you ask if it is good for him." Shen Shitang chewed his own words silently in his heart, and changed his words, "This is originally for him. Good thing."

For example, marrying a wife and having children, liking a man is just a mistake, maybe it is because he is too stressed, it is the evil result of a deformed original family, and it can be corrected... a psychological barrier.

This conversation didn't take long, and the minute hand only passed two grids, but when Shen Shitang turned to see Tang Lin off, everything seemed to be upside down.

Tang Lin stared at Shen Shitang for a long time, and then said with a smile: "When I first saw you, I thought you looked a lot like your father."

The corridor was still empty, with one person sitting and two standing.

"What do you mean?"

"Fang Lin was adopted by me for a while, but he left the Tang family for many years." Tang Lin smiled, stared at Shen Shitang, and pointed to the young man beside him, "My leg is old. , thanks to Fang Lin's care.",

Shen Fanglin, his father.

"Yes." Shen Zhitang was a little surprised by these past events. The past events of his extremely respected father were also stories that his father had never mentioned. "My father never mentioned it before."

"I heard your name, and I realized that Fang Lin never forgot about the Tang family."

Shen Shitang was completely at a loss.

"Perhaps you should know that Xiaoqiu had an aunt who died young and died on the way they eloped."

"Shitang, Shen Shitang?"

"Dad loves you so much, why...why do you still take his money to gamble? This money is Dad's life-saving money!" When Shen Shitang returned home from work, he could only see smoky, disheveled men and women crowded together At the edge of a small table, I heard the sound of dice clinking in my ears.

Shen Shitang never spoke loudly, and he couldn't shake these numb cockroaches. He continued to touch the cards and shake the dice mechanically. Among them, a rough male voice sounded, with thick phlegm in his throat, and said with a joke: " Your mother gave birth to a younger brother with you! Hurry up and go to work to buy milk powder for your younger brother! Be careful that your mother will bet away!"

"You!" The little boy blushed but didn't know what to do. He could only hold back his tears and ran into the hut. A middle-aged man was lying in the hut, wrapped in a quilt. Its shape pin bone upright.At that time, there was no ban on fireworks, and there was a sound of firecrackers outside the window. There was a kind of excitement outside the house, but a kind of desolation inside the house.

"Dad, I'm back."

There seemed to be tears in the man's eyes, and when he touched Shen Shitang's face, he couldn't even bring up a smile, "Is today... New Year's Eve?"

"En." Shen Zhitang's hands were red with cold, and his mother didn't scrub his father's body. These things had to be done after he came back from work.

"I... have been lying on the bed for so long that I almost forgot the time." Shen Fanglin let Shen Shitang wipe his body, and sighed, "Today is your birthday."

Shen Shitang felt a pair of big hands grabbing him, it was his father.

Shen Fanglin gasped, "You...you have to study hard...you are only freshman in high school, I, I heard from Jing Li that you went out to work, how... how can it be?"

Shen Zhitang's accumulated tears finally couldn't hold back any more, and they fell into the quilt one by one, and there were small splashes on the fabric, "Dad, don't listen to what Mom said, yes, also Don't listen to what those people say, mom, mom loves you very much, I, we are still a family."

Shen Fanglin wanted to raise his hand, but he didn't have the strength, so he sighed and said, "Xiaotang, it's dad who's sorry for you, and Jingli can't be blamed." Finally he smiled and said, "Man, why are you crying?"

"No!" The boy wiped away his tears in a panic.

My father was a middle school teacher, and he was paralyzed on the bed in an accident. After that, my mother began to put gambling on the bright side. I only found out now that she had a child with the owner of the casino a long time ago, who was 12 years younger than herself. age.

Everything I had before is gone.

"I, I'll boil the medicine first." Shen Shitang wanted to leave but was grabbed by someone.

"Xiaotang, don't blame your mother."

"I don't, Dad, I don't!"

"You also take good care of your younger brother, a mother whose blood is thicker than water."

"Okay, Dad!" Shen Fanglin suddenly coughed violently, and Shen Shitang hurried to grab the old landline in Shen Fanglin's hand, "Dad! Please let go, I will call an ambulance for you, please, Dad!"

"Don't...leave me alone." Shen Fanglin pressed the landline tightly, Shen Zhitang couldn't move his fingers no matter how hard he tried, and wanted to run away, but his father grabbed his wrist tightly.

Shen Zhitang panicked and hoarse, but his voice was buried in the sound of the collision, and no one could hear it.

I just remember that my father kept calling his name, and kept calling.

That year's north wind blew people freezing, as if exhausting all their strength to blow people apart.It was so cold that people could no longer walk, and everything stopped at the original point, frozen for thousands of miles.

From then on, she lived with her mother, and the casino owner, Lin Baimo, was forced to leave Jiangbei and go to Qinye.

Being locked up in a small black room, being punched and kicked, and being hungry and full is more common. After escaping, I just went to grandma's house and watched Lin Baimo lift grandma's noodle stall in front of my face. The way to confide is a small China Unicom, which has been installed with a location, and can't get through to the other party's phone, so I can only leave a message.It's like hell.

Shen Zhitang sat on the computer chair, put his glasses on the table, and covered his face with his hands.

The father, the spiritual pillar that I admired so much, collapsed in an instant.Not love, it is not love that keeps the home.I resented my mother and complained about her infidelity, and only now did I know that the tolerance I thought my father did not exist.

I even understood why my father would take me to the mountains to pay homage to a person I didn't know, and would shed tears when I was alone, and even, when I died, there was a smile on the corner of my mouth, and I kept... no He kept calling his name.

My brain was about to explode, my body lost all strength, and I fell back on the back of the chair, taking a deep breath.

Then what are you?

A superfluous thing, a deformed thing, barely grown up, barely alive until now.

Ridiculous.

The phone rings.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Shen? We have a business here—"

"Don't bother me." Shen Zhitang hung up the phone and dropped the phone on the table. With too much force, the phone slid far away, overturned the pen holder, and all the pens fell to the ground.

I don't even bother to pick it up.

The phone rang again.

"Didn't I fucking tell you not to bother me?"

The other side was quiet for a moment, and then said cautiously: "Professor Shen, hello."

"Ah." Shen Shitang rubbed the center of his brows, stood up and walked to the window, and heard a voice from Qin Ye's project staff, "I'm sorry, I just had something to do."

"Well." The other party didn't bother, and said directly: "Our excavated materials seem to be in conflict with the existing documents. They have been checked many times, and there are still problems."

Shen Zhitang hummed, no wonder I always felt that there was a mistake when I wrote the report. It turned out that there was a deviation at the source, which meant that a lot of work had to be done from the beginning, at this moment.

"Professor Shen, you should be busy first."

"Thank you."

Without even taking a breath, there was another call. Shen Shitang lay on the bed, closed his eyes and connected.

"Shen Shitang, are you free now? Can you come and help me?"

The female voice was familiar, hoarse, and crying.
