looking back inadvertently

"Liang He."

Liang He waited for this expected knock on the door after taking a shower, accompanied by Liang Zheng's voice calling him.

"It's okay, come in."

He changed into his pajamas, his hair was still dripping, and he didn't care about taking care of it for the time being, so he pulled a chair and asked Liang Zheng to sit down.Liang He was originally sitting on the bed, facing his father, but he suddenly realized that the relative position of the two looked too much like a negotiation. He didn't want to create such a tense atmosphere in front of Liang Zheng, so he stood up again, halfway Leaning against the edge of the desk.

"Dad, what you want to tell me should be—"

"Liang He, let me talk," Liang Zheng interrupted him suddenly, "The matter between me and Qiu Yun is my business, so I must tell you personally, even if you already understand."

"Well," Liang He didn't remember having such a serious father-son conversation with Liang Zheng since he was a child, so it seems that his father really cherishes this relationship, "I will listen to you carefully, you don't have to worry about it .”

Liang Zheng looked at him in surprise, he probably didn't expect to hear such considerate words from Liang He.

Liang He's personality was a bit awkward, and if he was the same age, he might still be a little blunt, but with such an indifferent parent-child relationship, even if he was considerate of his father, it was often difficult to express it.

This is Liang Zheng's understanding of his son, and Liang He himself agrees.So after the words were spoken, Liang He also felt his cheeks burn for a moment.

Liang Zheng saw his embarrassment, so he didn't point it out, and calmly told the whole story.He and Qiu Yun met before Liang He returned to China. Liang Zheng accidentally lost an important document in the restaurant while eating out, and it was picked up by Qiu Yun who came to eat later. Precious, I tried my best to contact the owner and get acquainted.

Qiu Yun also had a failed marriage and was single for five or six years. She has an only daughter who is now studying in Chicago.It took only a few months for Qiu Yun and Liang Zheng to have a good impression of each other from chatting, but the real relationship came after Liang He started working.

"I'm sorry to keep it from you," Liang Zheng said, "We just registered last month."

"Dad," Liang He silently digested all this, and finally decided to ask clearly, "Is it because of me that you haven't remarried all these years?" His face was red again, and he was always not good at saying such hypocritical words.

Liang Zheng smiled: "If you ask this way, it seems that it is really different from the past."

"what happened?"

"It's nothing." Liang Zheng shook his head, thought for a while, and then met his gaze again, "If you want me to answer this kind of question seriously, I'm a little clueless... In those years in China, I may have paid more attention to career development. You The same is true for mothers, when it comes to relationships... or you haven't met the right person, or you just don't have extra thoughts... I will think of your question. Finding a stepmother is a little pitiful for children, and your grandparents will not Happiness - this emotion is there, but not all.

"To be selfish, maybe I'm subconsciously using you as an excuse to avoid dealing with variables that might give me too much volatility. Can you understand? I'm not really a responsible person, or I wouldn't have put you I completely leave it to my grandparents, I...probably don't want to get into that situation—a situation where I have to maintain a balance between multiple parties."

Liang He nodded half understanding, at least he could understand that his father was not completely sacrificing for himself.Realizing this fact, he felt relieved.

"But this time with Qiu Yun," Liang Zheng said again, "I have really thought about it for a long time, how to explain to you... I am not afraid of your jokes, I am actually very nervous."

"What's there to be nervous about?" Liang He smiled lightly, "I won't say anything."

"It's the same," Liang Zheng tapped his left knee lightly with his fingers, "Even if you don't say anything, I can still see what you're thinking."

"Then do you think I am happy or unhappy now?"

Liang Zheng smiled lightly and said, "I think I can breathe a sigh of relief tonight."

"exaggerate."

"Okay, I won't disturb your rest, and I have jet lag."

"Dad," Liang He called Liang Zheng when he was about to turn around, "Let Auntie Qiu come back tomorrow."

An even more surprised look appeared on Liang Zheng's face.

"She lived with you before, right?" Liang He said affirmatively, "Why do you still let her go back to your home after it's all registered? It's really disrespectful."

The corners of Liang Zheng's mouth curled up and down, as if he was half-crying and half-smiling: "It seems that you understand it very well, have you fallen in love?"

"We talked," Liang He said without hesitation, "I also have a lover."

Liang Zheng opened his mouth and found his words after a long pause: "Really?"

"Well, Dad," he asked, "will you support whoever I choose to be with?"

Liang Zheng stared at him for a while: "OK."

Liang He: "Don't you ask me what kind of person he is?"

"I can see how you are doing now," Liang Zheng turned around with a smile, holding the doorknob, "You rest first, and tell me about it some other day—your lover."

The sound of him closing the door was very soft, and the wind brought up a corner of the curtains in the room, and then slowly fell down.

"Thank you." Liang He said to the empty room.

Because of jet lag, Liang Hyuk woke up very early the next day.It was still dark, and he hadn't lived in this room for more than half a year. He woke up with his eyes open, and finally recognized the environment he was in.It wasn't too late in China, he lay on the bed and dialed Shen Zhe's number.

"I'm at my parents' house." Shen Zhe was also lying on the bed, but he was just about to go to bed. "It's not six o'clock over there, is it? Can't sleep?"

"Well, I'm not used to it." When I went abroad, my work and rest were in chaos.

"How are you with your dad?"

"Okay." Liang He looked at the circle of light reflected by the desk lamp on the curtain, his chest rose and fell slightly, "My father is married."

The phone suddenly seemed to be disconnected, and it was strangely quiet.

"You..." Before Liang He was about to call him, Shen Zhe said, "Are you okay?"

Liang He was slightly surprised: "What can I do?"

"Why do I feel that your voice is a little hoarse?"

"It's too dry to turn on the air conditioner at night."

"Isn't it warm where you are?"

"It was a bit cold last night." Liang He picked up the water glass on the bedside table and took a few sips. "You think I'm going to cry?"

"Is it really not uncomfortable?"

"No." Although the father's incident was unexpected and had a great impact on his cognition, it did not contain much loss, "and... I think that person is very good, we went to dinner together yesterday gone."

As for himself, he also had a new life.

"That's good."

Shen Zhe talked about the temperature drop in the country, and it snowed again last night; several big markets will be closed at noon tomorrow, and he will go shopping with Bai Yanru in the morning, and relatives will come home in the evening... At the end of the talk, he seemed to yawn.

He couldn't hear clearly on the phone, Liang He only felt that it was Shen Zhe's special tone when he was sleepy, and he said, "Go to sleep."

"Well," Shen Zhe muttered softly, "I'll be waiting for you."

After the phone call with Shen Zhe ended, Liang He neither got up immediately, nor continued to sleep, but lay down until dawn, and went downstairs to have breakfast.The sound of slippers rubbing against the floor came from the direction of the kitchen, and when Liang He came to him, Qiu Yun also turned his head just in time.

"Liang He?" She asked in surprise, "Are you up?"

"Yeah." It seemed that her father had gotten through with her, so she returned to this house again.

"Come to breakfast, I made porridge."

"It's troublesome." Liang He was a little embarrassed, seeing that she came here early in the morning, and offered to help with the arrangements.In terms of family, Liang Zheng is not considerate either as a father or as a husband.

"Don't say that," Qiu Yun took a deep breath, "ah, I forgot something," she walked quickly to the living room, picked up an item from the sofa, and returned to him, "I think this is very suitable for you, Just bought it."

Liang He took the dark brown scarf.In fact, he seldom wears a scarf, but Qiu Yun looked over with expectant eyes, and he raised his head: "Then I will wear it when I go out today?"

Qiu Yun's eyes were red, as if she was holding tears.

"Liang He, thank you."

He is obviously the person who gave the gift, so how can he thank himself in turn?

Liang He also felt a little sour when he thought of how cautious his father was when he spoke to him the night before.That person is his elder, and there is no need to ask for his own opinion when choosing who to live with.

Liang Zheng and Qiu Yun told themselves all this with apprehension.Liang He wasn't sure if he was infected. Anyway, at this moment, he had the idea of ​​facing his father more frankly.

Because he also has a secret hidden in his heart.
