On the day her mother returned to Qingluo, Ye Tinghe took the initiative to contact Lu Pingjia and asked him to send Lu Yan's hospital address.

Lu Pingjia posted it quickly, and was afraid that he would not find a place, so he asked if he needed to come by himself, which was an obvious gesture of goodwill.

Ye Tinghe ignored him, and only asked about Lu Yan's current condition. Lu Pingjia stopped talking and said that he had changed to a milder treatment method. During this time, his grandfather's mental state was not bad.

This seemed to be the first exchange of more than two sentences between them since that incident, but that was all.

Ye Tinghe actually didn't have much dislike for Lu Pingjia, but he suddenly realized the difference between closeness and intimacy, which made him unwilling to treat him like a stupid brother without a brain like before.

The address Lu Pingjia gave was a private hospital in the suburb of Qingluo, where the environment was very good and clean.

Walking into the inpatient building, he just pressed the elevator to go up, when the elevator door opened, the people coming down looked at him in surprise, and then glanced at his mother and aunt behind him, it was Lu Shiting.

Compared with the last time we met, he was obviously much more haggard, with heavy eye circles, and his hair was unkempt and messed up.

He blinked, noticed his mother's somewhat familiar face, stared at it for a few more seconds, and asked hesitantly, "This is..."

Ye Tinghe looked at him coldly, and said bluntly, "My mother."

"Oh, that's my aunt." Lu Shiting corrected his posture and stepped forward with a smile, "You should still remember me, although the call last time was really too hasty."

Following the direction of his voice, mother opened her mouth and said hesitantly, "You are Lu—"

"Lu Shiting," he quickly continued, "Lu Weiming's son, but my father left early, and I grew up with my grandfather since I was a child."

Mom nodded and said, "It's not easy for you."

"Fortunately, Grandpa has always been good to me, even if Dad is gone—"

"Okay," Ye Tinghe interrupted their pleasantries, "I can say this kind of thing in the future."

He looked at Lu Shiting, "Didn't you say that Lu Yan asked you to apologize to my mother last time? We are all here now, so it's easy to talk face to face. Let's start."

Lu Shiting was unprepared and almost froze in place.

He saw Ye Tinghe standing beside a green plant next to the elevator door with arms folded, with a cold expression on his face, as if he were a just, strict and unfavorable judge.

And he is the defendant in the court.

The flow of people in this hospital is not large, and almost no one passed by during the time they were talking, only the surveillance camera overhead was flashing red.

But Lu Shiting still felt embarrassed, and his face became very embarrassed in an instant.

Mother held auntie's hand tightly, she couldn't see his expression, so she asked inexplicably, "Why are you apologizing?"

Lu Shi stopped for a long time without speaking.It was rare for him to be so embarrassed, and he acted as if he had made a big mistake over the years. As long as he said it, he would be completely exposed and he would be arrested by the police.

"Aren't you going to say it?" Ye Tinghe looked at him indifferently, "Or do you mean that you haven't grown up yet? You can't say sorry until your head is pinned down in front of your parents?"

Lu Shiting seemed to be irritated by his words, and his face suddenly became ugly. He glanced at his mother and saw her ignorant expression, and then he could bear it, and said slowly: "Almost eight years. Come on, Auntie, you made a few phone calls. Grandpa left his phone at home that day, and I answered it all, and I hung up the phone later..."

Mom listened quietly, without speaking, but looked a little empty and a little tired.It's just that the time has passed and the situation has changed, so I am too lazy to ask.

"He doesn't know."

"Yes." Lu Shiting saw that she didn't mean to be harsh on himself, and his expression finally relaxed, and it was not so difficult to say what he couldn't say.

"Grandpa didn't know about it all the time. I was young and ignorant. Auntie, I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Mom gave him a comforting smile, "If he doesn't know, then he doesn't know."

The conversation finally ended, and the aunt accompanied her mother to the elevator.

Ye Tinghe didn't follow, Lu Shiting said that "eight years" happened to touch a certain memory in his heart.

At that time, not long after her father died, she was also hospitalized due to a car accident, so she took a vacation to accompany her in bed.

Mom ate a few tangerines he had peeled, and suddenly asked, "Are you getting used to the new school? How do you get along with your classmates?"

"It's okay." Ye Tinghe thought, they are all a group of idiots whose brains rushed into the sewer.

"Then do you mind transferring to another school?"

"Okay," he said at the time.

He once thought that he could leave the place that practiced fists and was full of anti-intellectualism, and he looked forward to it for a few weeks, but in the end it was just asking, and there was no extra follow-up.

It turned out that it was also thanks to Lu Shiting.

He couldn't imagine what kind of mood his mother had at that time when she called the Lu family for help, but got such a response.

After all these years, did she also think that she was abandoned by her own family?

"Is it necessary for you to be so vigilant?" Ye Tinghe looked at Lu Shiting and said harshly, "You are young and ignorant, you have the face to say this reason."

During the few years they lived together, Ye Tinghe knew Lu Shiting well enough.

He is a very pure person, purely selfish and self-centered.

But it was not that he had never been close to this person. When they were very young, they shared a room at school. Lu Shiting was afraid of rain and thunder, and also of geckos and spiders climbing on the wall, but he never said he was afraid.

"The thunder is so loud, you must not be able to sleep, do you want me to accompany you?"

He often duplicity like this, and for a period of time after he agreed with him to come up, he also said a few words from his heart because he thought he had a good relationship with Ye Tinghe.

"Do you know that I have a younger brother who is different from you. He is a blood-related younger brother named Lu Pingjia. He lives with my mother. I went to see him. He has a big head and doesn't seem very smart."

"My mother said she would come to see me on the weekend, but she couldn't come because Lu Pingjia was sick. It's so annoying. I wish I didn't have a younger brother."

"Do you know why I came to grandpa's place? My mother told me on the day my father left that she was afraid that grandpa would marry his little wife and asked me to have a good relationship with him. Don't give all the family property to my little wife, so there would be no us and my brother." Humph, she doesn’t even come to see me on my birthday, why should I listen to her, from now on, what belongs to grandpa will be mine, so there is no share for them.”

He has been such a person since he was a child.

"You take my mother back." Ye Tinghe said, with a slightly sarcastic tone, "Before you hang up on her, she won't be able to see anything, and she won't be able to threaten you."

Lu Shiting didn't speak all the time, and when he saw that he was leaving, he asked, "What about you, aren't you going back?"

"Where are you going?" Ye Tinghe stopped, "Your home?"

"Don't do this, aren't we a family?"

"Who is a family with you."

Ye Tinghe opened his mouth when he saw Lu, as if he wanted to say something, he interrupted mercilessly, "You'd better not tell me that blood is thicker than water, I'm disgusted to hear that."

On the way back, Ye Tinghe suddenly realized that a large part of the pain in his life seemed to come from empathy.Often because he can perceive the pain of others, he habitually finds reasons for them to hurt himself.

For example, grandpa, Lu Yan has always indulged Lu Shiting to bully him because he hated his father. He may not really hate himself, but he just can't accept that his daughter will never come back;

For example, mother, she even has such a bad life, how can she ask her to take care of herself;

For example, Lu Shiting, he is indeed a bad person, but a long, long time ago, when he watched Lu Shiting cry because of being wronged by his mother for breaking an appointment, it was not that he didn't think about tolerating him more. After all, they grew up together, like Family will stay together for many years...

So, why do people have the ability to empathize?

[How could He Jiahuan end up like this [crying] the biggest Waterloo in cp history]

"Sisters, cheer up, the running cp is a chicken that beats iron, if one family can't do it, we can still eat the next family"

"Which one? Zhaotinghe?"

"The same drug-addicted chickens, why do some people shout and beat them all their lives, and some try the water and get addicted to American emperors?"

"Has no one found out? The string of numbers on He Xiaohao's id doesn't seem to be random, it's his and Brother Zhao's birthdays."

"102320525... indeed"

"So obvious? He's so bold"

"So obvious? No one noticed before???"

"It shouldn't be, don't CP fans love to eat these digital candies of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division?!"

"That's right, they don't drink it, I will drink it first as a respect"

"They may have just become CP fans not long ago, and they are not yet proficient in business."

"I can teach them if I'm not proficient, but this couple is out of luck. I have enough time."

"Zici, I will send you to be Zhao Tinghe's kol, and teach them how to drink cp"
