After saying that, the three of them stared at Li Ao.
Seeing that Li Ao had no response to the topic they were discussing from beginning to end, the three adults put away their smiles.
This child...
Li Li's operation lasted for six hours. Fortunately, the operation was completed successfully, but he suffered a lot.
-
Li Li recuperated in Switzerland for three months and then returned to China.
After returning home, he felt very lonely. Han Zhan and Bei Zhan were all in pairs, with lively and lovely children at home, but he was alone, so he was inevitably lonely.
Li Li shamelessly called Su Beibei again, hoping that Li Ao would return to China to spend some time with him. Su Beibei was initially reluctant to agree, as Li Ao's childhood misfortune was caused by Li Li.
Su Beibei was worried that something might happen to the child if he returned to Li Li's place.
But after learning about this, Li Ao's psychologist, Dr. Yarman, said to Su Beibei, "Belle, I think changing Neil's living environment might be a bold new attempt."
Su Beibei was shocked when she heard Alman's suggestion. "Alman? Do you also think it would be better to let Neil return to China?"
Yarman said, "You and I have been with him for so many years, and he still hasn't overcome his biggest problem. Perhaps returning home will bring him new opportunities."
Alman is a psychologist, so he understands better than anyone that psychologists are not omnipotent. Those who can truly cure those with mental illnesses are never psychologists, but the people around them.
Su Beibei failed to help Li Ao completely get out of the shadow, which means that she is not the person who can completely redeem Li Ao.
Changing to a new environment may bring unexpected gains.
Su Beibei was moved by Alman and agreed to let Li Ao return to China.
Li Ao didn't react much to the news of returning home until he heard Su Beibei say, "Your father found a school for you, the same one as the two sisters from your Uncle Han's family. You two have been friends since childhood, so now that you've met again, you'll definitely be able to play together."
Su Beibei said this just to comfort herself.
Li Ao has never made any serious friends since he was a child. He is very cautious and has an introverted personality. He is not the kind of person who can make friends easily.
After hearing this, Li Ao finally lowered his eyes. He picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to Su Beibei: [Mom, I don’t want to go to school.]
Su Beibei said, "You're a grown-up kid now, Neil. The knowledge you learn from books is all dead. Socializing with others is a profound art that you must learn. Furthermore, people can only grow by integrating into society."
"It was a joint decision between Alman and I to let you go to school."
Knowing that this was Alman's idea, Li Ao had to agree no matter how reluctant he was.
Li Ao also hopes that he can speak. He hopes to get better more than anyone else, but speaking is harder for him than climbing to the sky.
He didn't know why he couldn't speak, and he couldn't even remember what happened in that basement when he was a child.
But he was afraid of speaking.
-
For Li Ao's sake, Li Li talked with Su Beibei and finally got Su Beibei's permission to move the luggage into their former home.
The coffee shop is still open and A Kun was promoted from clerk to manager.
The day Li Li moved back into the cafe, A Kun was particularly emotional. He sat at the corner between the cafe and the second floor, smoking. Li Li sat next to him. A Kun knew that Li Li couldn't smoke after surgery, so he quickly put out the cigarette butt in his hand.
He sighed, "Thinking of the scene of you three going in and out together at that time, I feel very emotional. I never thought that you, Mr. Li, would come back here one day."
A-kun's tone was sarcastic.
In the matter of Su Beibei and Li Li's divorce, Li Li and his mother were the ones in the wrong, so A Kun naturally defended Su Beibei.
Li Li was not angry. He said, "So what if she comes back? I am back, the child is back, but she won't come back."
A Kun stopped talking.
After dark, just before closing time, Li Ao appeared at the entrance of the coffee shop, dragging his suitcase. Although he grew up in the United States, he lacked the flamboyant and enthusiastic temperament of American teenagers. He wore a black shirt and black trousers, standing at the entrance of the coffee shop, pulling his suitcase.
Cars were coming and going behind him, but he stood still. Despite his young age, he exuded an aura of abstinence and loneliness.
As soon as A Kun saw the boy's face, he recognized his identity.
Li Ao's appearance is a combination of the advantages of Li Li and Su Beibei. His peach blossom eyes are like his mother's, and his handsome nose bridge is as sharp as a knife, as if it was picked from Li Li's face and pressed onto his face.
At the age of sixteen, he is already a handsome guy. When he grows up, he will be even more amazing.
A Kun pushed the door open and said to the boy, "Welcome home, Neil."
Li Ao stared at A Kun and the cafe behind him. He tried to search his memory and find images related to this cafe.
But he couldn't remember anything.
Li Ao nodded to A Kun, then walked into the cafe with his back to the light.
Li Li was waiting upstairs, and the hired nanny had already prepared dinner.
The food was light. Li Li couldn't eat spicy food while recuperating from his illness, and Li Ao didn't like spicy food either.
After dinner, the father and son sat together playing with building blocks in a silent atmosphere.
Li Li looked at his handsome son and thought of how Li Ao always chattered to himself while building blocks when he was a child, but now he kept silent. He couldn't help but feel his eyes sore.
"Go to bed early. You have to report to school tomorrow. I'll go with you."
Li Ao pointed at Li Li's head.
Li Li smiled and said, "It's okay. It's been three months since the surgery. I just need to rest. It's not like I can't drive or walk."
