"Well, go ahead."
Lin Zhixing knew that the steering wheel was in the man's hands and she had no other choice.
"In the five years since we've been apart, I've tried many times to let work take up all of my life, but in the end, it all felt completely boring. Even in the final minutes of the bomb countdown, I couldn't think of anything more worthwhile than you."
He Yanchen looked at the woman beside him, "It was at that moment that I finally realized what I wanted."
Lin Zhixing folded his hands together, lowered his eyes and remained silent.
"What I want is to be with you, to have you by my side, so that I don't have to worry about anyone else coveting you." The man smiled bitterly, "It's funny to say, I once had these, but I didn't cherish them."
The sun was still in the east and the air was slightly warm.
Lin Zhixing then looked at He Yanchen and said seriously:
"He Yanchen, you are An An's father. We have a bond that can never be severed. I can arrange for you and your son to meet regularly. As for the rest... you have too many secrets and have hidden too many things from me. Even in the past, I could not feel that we were close."
“…”
"I never took the video Miss Liu sent me seriously. I always believed in you and believed that you would tell me your secret sooner or later. But I've waited for many years and still don't know what happened to those people in the video."
As Lin Zhixing finished speaking, the atmosphere in the car became quiet.
The sun shines through the front windshield.
Tiny particles can be seen floating in the air.
You can also see the woman's eyes floating gently.
He Yanchen never seemed willing to tell her about his past.
Maybe there are some things in his past that are inconsistent with his current image.
But, in the end, he didn't trust her.
He Yanchen held the steering wheel with one hand, and his knuckles were slightly white.
Time passes quietly.
Even though the air conditioner is on in the car, the hot sunlight shining in can still be a bit scorching.
Lin Zhixing could guess what the man was thinking.
She didn't push him at all.
Until you feel the air in the car has become thin because it has not been ventilated for too long.
Just as her finger reached for the window lift button...
"Okay, I can tell you."
He Yanchen suddenly spoke.
He didn't know she was going to lower the window.
He thought...
She is leaving.
Lin Zhixing still gently lowered the glass a little.
He Yanchen said everything.
He was never a child conceived in love.
It was just the product of his parents' separate calculations.
Even so, when he was a child, he was like any other child, longing for his mother's approval.
He has never been an outstanding genius and even has obvious shortcomings.
He has no musical talent and is not good at playing any musical instrument.
But because of his mother's words "to save face", he had to learn the cello.
His teacher is a well-known performer, and he is the student who makes the slowest progress.
When he was scolded day and night for learning the cello, Zhou Qiaohu told him that she met a very smart boy in the orphanage. He was a few years younger than him, but he was very smart and sensible.
When Lin Zhixing heard these words, he couldn't help but look at the man with sympathy.
He Yanchen looked straight ahead, and it seemed that these things could not cause him any harm at all.
Just a calm narration.
He Yanchen had never seen the boy from the orphanage; he only heard about him from Zhou Qiaohua.
The boy is smart, obedient and sensible.
It can be described as perfect.
When he was in middle school, he was bullied at school.
Among the accomplices of the bullies was Liu Nian, who told the bullies about the existence of the orphan.
The bullies called him a waste time and again.
Ask him: Have you ever thought about why your mother would rather have an uneducated orphan than you?
Stimulation in words and actions.
Plus Zhou Qiaohua’s indifference.
Pushing the young man into a desperate situation.
"The place in the video wasn't found by me. They built it. They've beaten me there more than once before... They asked me to go there that day, and when I got there, I wanted to kill them and then I jumped into the sea to commit suicide."
He Yanchen curled his lips and said, "I originally thought this would be difficult, but I didn't expect them to be so vulnerable. Even if three of them beat me, I still can't beat one."
Lin Zhixing didn't say anything.
She didn't know what the man was talking about when her heart began to ache.
She always knew that the man had a hard time in those years.
But I didn't expect it to be like this.
He Yanchen's youth was not even as good as hers when he lived under someone else's roof.
At least……
Yin Ruyun would not watch her being bullied.
In addition, she is a good student and the teachers in the school are also on her side.
"Then...why..."
Lin Zhixing wanted to ask him why he didn't commit suicide.
Halfway through the question, some people couldn't continue.
"Perhaps it was the desire of my family. I suddenly thought at that time that I should go see my father again before I died. I contacted him, but he didn't see me. He just arranged for me to stay at the He family's summer resort."
When He Yanchen talked about the following things, the expression on his face showed a slight thawing of ice and snow.
The turning point in his life was probably when he returned to China and stepped into that summer resort.
He Yanchen looked at the woman, "Don't you want to know what's in the video? I locked the three of them up, gave each of them a glass of water, and then placed a large glass of sea water next to them..."
Lin Zhixing was slightly stunned.
People cannot drink sea water.
The salt content in the sea water is too high.
If people drink too much, it can lead to organ failure throughout the body.
But people cannot go without drinking water for a long time.
When you are extremely thirsty, you are likely to choose random behavior...
"You should have guessed it. I injured them, but didn't kill them. Later, when I asked Liu Nian to find them, they had already drunk seawater, which caused organ failure and affected their normal life."
He Yanchen continued, "Later, my father came forward to treat them. Not long after, I earned money myself and built a hospital on the top of the mountain. They all live there now."
Lin Zhixing listened quietly.
She then said, "Actually, this can't be entirely blamed on you. There's no need for you to hide anything from me."
He Yanchen looked at the woman beside him and said, "I even broke their leg bones at the time. I can't remember the specifics anymore. All I have are fragments of memory. I started to feel unsure if I was sick, until the car accident six years ago, when I also started to experience memory loss."
The man completed what he had done bit by bit.
He was afraid that she couldn't accept it, but he felt that he shouldn't hide it.
Lin Zhixing asked him, "Anything else? Is there anything else you want to add about what you did?"
