Stockholm syndrome

My dad was taken aback when he saw me, his lips trembling for a long time, "Chen'er, why are you back?!"

"I don't worry..." Before I finished speaking, my dad slapped me on the face. My dad hasn't slapped me since I was 10 years old. The slap was really hard, and the nosebleed left immediately.Drop by drop hit the white T-shirt inside my school uniform.Then I was hugged by my dad.I don't know when, my character is already taller than his.He hugged me tightly, his cheek pressed against my shoulder, and his shoulder trembled unconsciously.

"Dad, it's okay. I'm here." I put my arms around my dad's back and patted him lightly.I remembered what my mother said, my father is a man who does not take things seriously, he is far less strong than he looks on the outside.I have to help him support the family.People always grow up in an instant, and when my dad buried his face on my shoulder, I suddenly understood my responsibility.I am no longer a child, my family has propped up the sky for me, and now I am his support.I am a man.

My dad let go of his hand and saw the nosebleed on my face, so he realized that he had done something wrong, and hurried to find Yaomian.This kind of thing is the most in my house.He skillfully treated my wound with pliers and alcohol cotton.

"Chen'er, why are you so ignorant." My dad pushed my forehead, threw away the cotton wool soaked in nosebleeds, and stuffed it with a new one.

"I don't trust you."

"I'm your dad." My dad shouted. He has always been very concerned about his majesty and responsibility as a father.No matter how tired he is, he will carry it.In the past, my mother was there, no matter what kind of things he took over, my mother was like the backbone of my father, she didn't have to take care of any major issues in the family, but as long as she was there, my father could stand it.My dad is a very determined man. I think the only thing in this world that can shake and overwhelm my dad is his family, and this weakness is fatal.

"I'm your son." I replied confidently, my dad froze for a moment, and the movements of his hands paused. "So I want to stay with you. You say I'm ignorant or messing around. I can't leave you here alone. A family is home. Don't treat me like a child, I'm already a man , I can support this family with you and my mother."

"Chen'er..." My dad looked at me with the corners of his lips pursed, the whites of his eyes were a little yellow, he must have smoked a lot recently. "You are still a student, don't worry about these things. Dad is here."

"I will take care of the study. When will I let you worry about it?" I put my hand on my dad's knee, "The most important thing now is that our family can get through this. Mom then Be strong, you'll be fine, I'll be with you, don't worry."

"Bear kid, what are you talking about. Your dad is like a bitch." My dad hit me twice, his voice was a little hoarse.After a moment of silence, he spoke again. "Your mother called just now."

"How is my mother?" I already knew about my mother's situation, and I was very sad.If a person's maturity depends on whether he can hide his emotions, then I think I can probably afford the word maturity.But he still looked forward to it.With my mother's temperament, she will definitely hide it from my father.

"Your mother said that her condition is improving, and the serum from Guangzhou has been delivered. But I heard something wrong with her voice. She said that she misses me and you." My father's fists tightened unpretentiously. "Do you think she has something to hide from me? I'm always uneasy in my heart. Is there really a serum? Will she lie to me?" At the end, my dad's voice was still crying .

"Don't think too much, my mother has something to hide from us. The epidemic is almost under control now, it's okay." I stood up with support.

"Really?" My dad looked up at me with expectation in his eyes.He has lived with my mother for so many years and knows my mother better than me, so how could he not notice the strangeness of my mother.But people will always seek comfort from others in times of crisis. It seems that as long as the information is obtained from others, they can be believed.

"Really, I promise you. Don't let me worry about it. I'm still thinking about it. I haven't eaten well these days. Let me see what else is in the refrigerator." After I finished speaking, I turned and walked towards the kitchen Go, I looked down at the palm of my hand, it had already been pierced by a nail, I don't know how much effort I used, and I didn't notice it at all.I never felt how strong I was, and I would cry and be scared and run away.But now I can't, I want to help my dad support the family.

The house has not been cleaned up for several days, and it is a mess.My dad also specially placed a Buddha statue in his bedroom, I don't know where he got it from.He was a member of the party and always claimed to be a staunch Marxist.Now it is pious to burn incense.I know he is afraid, afraid that something will happen to my mother.In fact, I was also afraid, scared to death, my back was covered in cold sweat, and thinking of my mother would terrify me.

My dad must have not had a serious meal for many days. Even though it was ordinary fried rice, he ate twice as much as usual.Seeing my dad like this, my heart hurts like a knife.While eating, he suddenly put down his chopsticks and muttered to himself. "I don't know if Xiaomei is eating well."

"Dad, you're done eating, just put the bowl here, I'll wash it later. I'll go back to the house and read some books." I think I really can't hold it anymore.I tried to calm myself down and walked back to my room.As soon as the door was closed, tears began to flow uncontrollably.I plugged the door tightly.Kneeling in front of the camp bed, covering my cheeks with a pillow, big drops of tears seeped into the buckwheat pillow.I didn't dare to pant hard for fear of being discovered by him.Who can tell me what to do, as long as our family can tide over the difficulties, I will not hesitate to pay any price.

But spiritual power can't help. Maybe there are magic and miracles in this world, but it never happened to me.Four more cases appeared in the community, and three of them were in our building.One of them is downstairs from our house.The entire unit building was panicked.Because the community is blocked, supplies can only be brought in from outside, unit by unit.My dad locked me in the house and he confiscated my keys.Worried that I would be infected, he went to pick up things every time.At this time, I was lying on the kitchen window, watching him wearing a mask and a group of people queuing up to receive daily necessities.My dad is very fat, and it is April, and he will break out in sweat after standing for a while.I saw him keep raising his hand to wipe his forehead. In such warm weather, he had to queue up with such a thick mask.

The phone at home rang suddenly, and I ran over immediately, accidentally knocking on the shoe cabinet.There was numbness directly below the knee, and the pain was so severe that my legs softened and I knelt on the ground.The phone is still ringing, is it my mother calling?I crawled towards the phone on hands and feet, trembling with excitement.The more anxious you are, the less energy you need.

How is my mother? Is it serious? I finally crawled to the phone, grabbed the microphone and put it on my ear. Just after I said hello, tears fell.

"Ye Shen." It was Li Weiran.His tone was very aggressive, but he suddenly softened after calling my name. "What's wrong with you, are you crying?"

I gasped heavily, trying to calm myself down.Not my mom, sometimes no news is good news.I miss my mother, want to know how she is doing now, and I am terribly afraid that I will get bad news.It wasn't my mother's call, and I was somewhat disappointed, but it also comforted me a lot.

"Ah Shen?! What's wrong with you, talk." Li Weiran's voice became more and more anxious.

"It's okay." I took a hard bite on the back of my hand and forced back my tears.He punched hard on his chest twice to calm himself down. "I knocked it just now."

"You're home." Li Weiran said half question and half answer, he called my home phone, I answered, must have gone home.

"Yeah. You're in England." I found it very silly to ask.Of course he was there.Li Weiran ran to England without saying anything, I was very angry, but after I calmed down and thought about it, we have already broken up, everything about him has nothing to do with me anymore, I have no reason or right to hold grudges against him.Our relationship is nothing more than classmates, maybe it's not even good friends.If this is the case, what does my life and death have to do with him, and why should he care about me.Suddenly I didn't know what to say, and there was a silence on the other end of the phone.

"You..." Li Weiran seemed to be about to say something, when suddenly there was the sound of unlocking the lock.

"My dad is back, hang up!" I yelled at the phone and hung up immediately.
