baby who are you

Those things that made Ling Xu feel puzzled and incomprehensible in the past seem to have been answered in an instant.

The mother who divorced his father in the third year of high school and took him away in a hurry, he who suddenly lost contact with his family, and the brother who treated him as a stranger.

Although Ling Yi was still supporting him now, Ling Xu had no reason to panic. He felt that even if Ling Yi really let go of him and left him, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

However, before Ling Xu could react, Ling Yi said, "Go and sit down."

Ling Xu felt that he was slowly coming back to his senses, he nodded, walked to the bed and sat down, and also put Tian Tian on the bed.

Tian Tian was a little frightened, after he was put on the bed, he knelt down and reached out to grab Ling Xu's arm, wanting to see what was wrong with him, he thought Ling Xu was crying.

But Ling Xu didn't cry, unlike the last time when he heard the news of his father's death with tears and snot all over his face, this time he just looked pale with helpless panic.

In Ling Yi's eyes, it seemed that his condition was even worse than last time.

Tian Tian pulled his arm, and he turned his head to look at him, and heard his son shouting with panic in his tone, "Daddy?"

Ling Xu then reached out and hugged him tightly in his arms, buried his face on his shoulder, and took a deep breath.He had never been so helpless before, and even needed to find support from a child.

It is rare for Tiantian to obediently let Ling Xu hug him without struggling at all.

Ling Yi stood by the bed and watched them quietly, and after a while said, "Let's go out and talk."

Ling Xu looked up at him.

Ling Yi was afraid that Ling Xu would not understand what he meant, so he added: "Leave the child in the room."

It was only then that Ling Xu realized that what Ling Yi meant was that it would be better not to let children hear these words.He didn't think it was so thoughtful, but he still understood the truth, so he nodded and stood up, put Tian Tian on the bed, turned on the TV and let him watch TV in the room by himself.

Ling Xu and Ling Yi went to the rest area in the shop outside and sat down.

The entire store only had the lighting inside the cake display case turned on, so it looked dimly lit, but it was just right for two people to sit down and chat quietly without attracting the attention of passers-by outside.

Facing Ling Yi, Ling Xu still tentatively called out in a low voice: "Brother?"

Even if Ling Yi turned a blind eye to him in Yuebu Plaza for the first time, he always believed that Ling Yi was only angry with him, and when he apologized obediently to Ling Yi and the other party's anger subsided, they would be able to reconcile.

But now, Ling Xu has lost all confidence.

He was not born to his father, and this matter seemed like a fantasy to him. Although he believed it, he didn't accept it intellectually, and he didn't know how to face it.

Ling Yi looked at him for a while, then suddenly leaned forward and stretched out a hand towards him.

Ling Xu froze for a moment, not knowing what Ling Yi was going to do, when subconsciously wanted to hide back, Ling Yi just stretched out his hand to brush his hair, then withdrew his hand again.

Just now, he was rubbing on Tian Tian's shoulders, and his hair was raised in a bunch.

Ling Yi said slowly: "It's all in the past, don't be so nervous."

Thing of the past?

From Ling Yi's point of view, it was a thing of the past, but to Ling Xu, it was the truth that he had just learned before his eyes.He was frightened and uneasy, but he might have experienced this kind of frightened and uneasy emotion once in his third year of high school. In Ling Yi's view, it was obviously unnecessary to suffer so much for it again.

"Father is gone," Ling Yi said again.

Dad is gone, which means there is no need to face it.So when they faced this fact back then, how painful was Dad?Ling Xu found that he didn't dare to think about it, because it was really scary.

He was a little dazed, looking out of the glass window in a daze.

Ling Yi looked at him quietly. After 2 minutes, neither of them spoke.Later Ling Yi stood up, walked slowly in front of Ling Xu, stretched out a hand to press his head and let him lean on his body, and said softly: "It's all over."

Ling Xu's tears that hadn't shed all this time burst out suddenly under his brother's rare tenderness. He hugged Ling Yi's waist, buried his face in his lower abdomen, and cried silently.

After crying for a while, Ling Xu calmed down, wiped away his tears and snot on Ling Yi's expensive suit, looked up at him, and asked, "Are you still my brother? "

Ling Yi glanced at his messy clothes and asked, "What do you think?"

Ling Xu quickly said: "I said of course it is."

Ling Yi was noncommittal, he let go of Ling Xu and planned to go back and sit down, but Ling Xu held him back and said, "Brother, can you tell me what happened?"

Ling Yi wiped away the remaining tears at the corners of his eyes with his thumb, and said, "You told me some things at the time."

At that time, Ling Xu was in his third year of high school, and Ling Yi was already in his senior year. Because he was doing an internship, he didn't live in school. Every day after work, Ling Yi went straight home.

It was Ling Xu's birthday at that time.His birthday was on Friday. In the past, Ling Xu would invite his classmates to celebrate his birthday every year. But because he was in the third year of high school, many people didn’t have time to celebrate with him, so Ling Xu made an appointment with his family, and everyone went out to dinner together for him. birthday.

After school was over in the afternoon, Ling Xu rode his bicycle out of school and was stopped by a middle-aged man.There was a BMW parked next to the man. Not many people could afford a BMW at that time.

The middle-aged man first asked Ling Xu for directions.

After Ling Xu showed him the way enthusiastically, the man threw him a cigarette.Seeing that it was a good cigarette, Ling Xu reached out to take it, and asked the man to light it for him.

At this moment, the man suddenly asked him: "Your name is Ling Xu?"

Ling Xu froze for a moment, and said strangely, "How do you know my name?"

The man patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I've seen you since you were a child. I'm your mother's friend."

Ling Xu was dubious, but he still smiled and said heartily, "Hello, Uncle."

The man then got in his car and drove away in his BMW.

Ling Xu didn't take this matter too seriously, but he didn't expect it to be just the beginning.

That night, the whole family went to a well-known Chinese restaurant in the city for dinner.

Ling Xu was in a good mood at first, because it was his birthday, and he received a birthday present from his brother as soon as he got home.But it wasn't until they were halfway through eating in the restaurant that Ling Xu realized that something was wrong with his parents.

Because he saw his mother pick up food for his father, but his father made an obvious refusal action.

Ling Xu was stunned for a moment, and secretly turned his head to look at Ling Yi, but Ling Yi didn't seem to see anything.

After dinner that day, Ling Xu locked himself in Ling Yi's room and asked him, "Did Mom and Dad fight?"

Ling Yi rummaged through the closet for a change of clothes, and was about to take a bath, when he heard this, he said, "I don't know, you can ask yourself."

"I don't know how to ask," Ling Xu said while playing with his new watch with his head down.The watch was Ling Yi's birthday gift to him. Since Ling Yi got angry when he passed the gift to Zhao Feiyan in the third year of junior high school, Ling Xu never dared to dispose of the things Ling Yi gave him at will.

But he really liked the watch.

Ling Yi finished her clothes and walked towards the bathroom.

Unexpectedly, Ling Xu also followed him in, and babbled behind him: "Why did you quarrel when you said it was fine? Dad may have recently passed menopause, and his temper is a bit weird."

Ling Yi stood under the shower head, put one hand on the water valve, and said, "I think so too, okay? You can go out now."

Ling Xu said, "Stop talking for a while?"

Ling Yi said to him, "I'm going to take a bath."

Ling Xu said indifferently: "You wash yours, and I won't disturb you."

Hearing this, Ling Yi took off his clothes and trousers in front of him, and then turned on the shower.

Ling Xu was taken aback, he stood up on his tiptoes with his mouth full of breath and took a closer look, and then with a protracted "Oh—" he gave Ling Yi a thumbs up and said, "Great!" Then he opened the door ran out.

However, Ling Xu didn't expect that it was just the beginning.

After that, he could see quarrels between his father and mother from time to time, and the man driving the BMW appeared in front of Ling Xu more than once.

For strangers, Ling Xu was wary at first.

But once, Ling Xu was standing at the gate of the school with some classmates, and the man told Ling Xu that he would buy them a drink.

Ling Xu didn't agree, but Tang Li who was with him immediately agreed.

The middle-aged man went to the small supermarket across the street and bought a can of Coke for each of them. They went into the supermarket to get the Coke by themselves, and the man just paid at the door. Ling Xu felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he drank it at ease.

Afterwards, Ling Xu chatted with the man, and the man said that he opened a tea house opposite the school, so he often ran into Ling Xu here recently.

Moreover, Ling Xu knew that the man's name was Cao Bohang. He was originally a local, but he went out to do business later, and he just came back this year.

Because Cao Bohang was very generous to Ling Xu and his classmates, Ling Xu had a good impression of him at first.

One day during self-study at night, Ling Xu felt hungry, so he sent a text message to Ling Yi and said, "Brother, come out and treat me to barbecue."

Ling Yi replied after more than ten seconds: "Bake it first, and I'll come."

So Ling Xu grinned and ran to the school gate to have a barbecue.

At that time, the relationship between him and Zhao Feiyan had faded. The two of them had never been together formally. The most enthusiastic time was nothing more than the period from the third year of junior high school to the first and second year of high school. After a long time, Ling Xu himself felt that it was boring. I don't bother chasing Zhao Feiyan anymore.

Because he was dating Ling Yi, he didn't call anyone else, because Ling Yi was not an easy-going personality, and his good buddies thought Ling Yi was too serious, and they rarely got along with each other.

Ling Xu ordered more than ten barbecue skewers by himself, and asked the boss to grill them for him first, and sat down on the small stool next to the barbecue stand.

The school is not too far away from home, and it only takes 10 minutes for Ling Yi to come here.

When the boss finished roasting the meat, Ling Yi should arrive almost as well.When the grilled meat skewers were brought in front of Ling Xu, he saw the figure shrouded beside him, thought that Ling Yi had arrived, raised his head and shouted: "Brother, are you here?"

But when he saw the face, he realized that it wasn't Ling Yi at all, but Cao Bohang.

Cao Bohang didn't know when he arrived. He saw Ling Xu smiling and stretching out his hand to put it on his shoulder, but suddenly someone grabbed his wrist from the side, and he heard a cold voice asking, "What are you going to do?" ?”

Hearing the sound, Ling Xu turned his head to look, and saw that the slender figure under the street lamp was Ling Yi who had just rushed over.
