Chapter 15: I don't know if it's an illusion, Han Chengyu feels that Ling...
It was almost eight o'clock when Ling Siyan and the others came back from the shooting training hall. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Han Chengyu and Su Ranran sitting on the sofa.
"mom."
"Aunt."
Ling Siyan responded without saying anything, and only asked Aunt Li who came out of the kitchen: "Is the meal ready?"
Aunt Li smiled and nodded, "It's done. We're just waiting for you to come back, Madam."
"Let's go!" Ling Siyan gestured to Lu Xiao and Ling Yi, "Let's go eat."
When he turned around, he saw Han Chengyu still standing there, and asked curiously, "Aren't you going to eat?"
The word "you" made Su Ranran's face flash with a trace of shame and embarrassment.
Ling Siyan naturally saw it, but the two young lovers just ignored Lu Xiao and Ling Yi. They did it on the first day of the month and she did it on the fifteenth day.
Su Ranran tugged at Han Chengyu's sleeve and whispered, "Chengyu, why don't I go back first!"
Han Chengyu came back to his senses from his daze, looked at the grievance in Su Ranran's eyes, took her hand and squeezed it soothingly, and said softly: "You haven't eaten yet, where are you going? Besides, it's not safe for you to go back alone so late. Let's eat first, okay?"
Then he looked at Ling Siyan, "Don't you think so, Mom?"
Ling Siyan didn't refute and just said "hmm".
There were five dishes and one soup on the table, namely stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried lotus root strips, spicy crayfish, stir-fried beef, braised pork, and winter melon and pork ribs soup.
Ling Siyan noticed that Su Ranran's expression froze after seeing the dishes on the table. She raised her eyebrows but said nothing.
The spicy crayfish and dry-fried lotus root strips were the dishes ordered by Ling Yi. The stir-fried beef was made by Aunt Li after Ling Siyan asked Lu Xiao and found out that he preferred beef among all meats. The braised pork was what Han Chengyu liked, and the stir-fried cabbage was made by Ling Siyan and asked Aunt Li to watch her.
Lu Xiao and she both like spicy food. Ling Yi probably inherited it from them and can eat spicy food. Only the braised pork and stir-fried cabbage are not spicy.
If there were no dishes that suited Su Ranran's taste, although it would be against the etiquette of hospitality, Ling Siyan would not feel any guilt.
Since you have decided to stay for dinner, you should tell the kitchen about your preferences in advance. If you are embarrassed to say it yourself, let Han Chengyu say it.
Han Chengyu was also stunned when he saw the dishes on the table. After being with Su Ranran, they had always eaten together. He naturally knew that Su Ranran couldn't eat spicy food and didn't like eating fatty meat and cabbage.
He called Aunt Li and said, "Aunt Li, please go make another tomato scrambled eggs. I suddenly want to eat this."
"Yeah!" Aunt Li responded and turned to go to the kitchen.
Su Ranran gave Han Chengyu a grateful smile.
After sitting down, Ling Siyan and Lu Xiao each took a pair of gloves and started peeling shrimps.
After Ling Siyan peeled the shrimp, she put it in Ling Yi's bowl. Coincidentally, Lu Xiao also came over with a peeled shrimp.
The two looked at each other, and everything was said without words.
Ling Yi looked at the two extra shrimps in the bowl, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said, "Thank you, Dad, Mom."
Han Chengyu, who was sitting opposite, saw this scene and his eyes darkened.
Dinner ended in silence. Seeing Han Chengyu seeming to be hesitant to speak many times at the table, Lu Xiao patted Ling Yi on the shoulder and said, "Let's go upstairs to review our lessons."
Ling Yi glanced at Han Chengyu. Just like before, he didn't take him seriously.
Lowering his eyes to hide the mockery in them, Ling Yi followed Lu Xiao upstairs.
Ling Siyan leaned on the sofa while trimming her nails and said to Han Chengyu, "What do you want to tell me?"
Han Chengyu looked at Ling Siyan and said sincerely: "Mom, I apologize for what I said last time. But I hope you can respect my choice. I really like Ranran. I hope you can agree that we can date after we go to college."
Su Ranran also said: "Aunt, I really like Chengyu too. I know you mind my background, but my background is not something I can choose. I would like to ask you to give me a chance, and I will work hard to prove myself."
Ling Siyan trimmed a finger before looking at Han Chengyu: "When did I not respect your choice?"
"Then why did you look for that man..."
"Why did you find that man?" Ling Siyan's face turned colder, "To threaten you, to force you?"
Han Chengyu didn't say anything, which undoubtedly meant he agreed.
Ling Siyan put the nail clippers back on the table, and the coolness of the glass tabletop passed through her fingertips into her heart.
There was a hint of mockery in Ling Siyan's eyes.
This is the son she has raised for 17 years.
What kind of image does she have in his eyes?
Unreasonable, despicable, unscrupulous...
Ling Siyan closed her eyes, and scenes from her past life flashed through her mind.
She died in a car accident, her brother-in-law was thrown into prison, her father had a stroke and was hospitalized, Ling Yi and Lu Xiao committed suicide in prison...
When he opened his eyes again, they were cold.
"This is the second time I've said this to you, and I hope it's the last time. The man you're talking about is your brother's biological father, and my legal husband with whom I have obtained a marriage certificate."
"Even if you don't want to call him dad, you should at least call him uncle. This is a matter of upbringing."
"As for your so-called respect for your choice, you are my son and an independent person. I have never treated you as a puppet. I give my advice from my standpoint. It is up to you whether you listen to it or not. I have never thought of forcibly interfering with your choice."
Ling Siyan looked at Han Chengyu deeply and said, "That's all I have to say. You can do whatever you want."
After saying that, he got up and went upstairs.
Han Chengyu looked at Ling Siyan's back, and for some reason, he felt a sense of loss as if he had lost something.
"Mom..." Han Chengyu couldn't help but scream.
Ling Siyan turned around on the stairs. Han Chengyu didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that Ling Siyan looked at him with a condescending and indifferent look.
There was a feeling in his heart that something was moving away from him, and Han Chengyu couldn't help but want to explain something.
"ah!"
There was a cry of surprise from the side.
Han Chengyu turned his head to look and saw Su Ranran frowning and looking in pain.
Han Chengyu walked over quickly, "Ran Ran, what's wrong?"
Su Ranran sat back on the sofa, stretched out her hand to press her ankle, and couldn't help but let out a "hiss": "I got up too hastily just now, and accidentally sprained my ankle."
Han Chengyu squatted down in front of Su Ranran, lifted a corner of her skirt, and after checking, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, there is no swelling, and no bones are injured."
When Han Chengyu looked up again, Ling Siyan was no longer on the stairs.
On the way back to her room, Ling Siyan couldn't help but think of things from her previous life.
Su Ranran stood at the stairs, blocking her way down, watching her back away with a gentle smile on her face, saying, "Mom, if Chengyu knew you were going to harm his child, he would never forgive you."
She realized something was wrong and wanted to pull the person away, but was grabbed by a strong force and pulled forward.
Su Ranran tumbled down the stairs, and her blood instantly dyed the floor beneath her red.
At the bottom of the stairs, Han Chengyu suddenly appeared and looked at her in disbelief...
Before today, she was still wondering if it was unfair to Han Chengyu, who knew nothing and had done nothing, to bring the hatred and grudges from the previous life into this life.
Returning to the room and leaning against the head of the bed, Ling Siyan's eyes were unusually dazed.
She remembered that when Su Ranran was unconscious in the hospital and she went to visit her, Han Chengyu said words that seemed like pleading but were actually full of resentment.
"Mom, Ranran is my beloved. She is pregnant with my child, and also your grandson. Even a venomous tiger will not eat its own cubs. You hurt Ranran and my child. Have you ever considered my feelings and how I should deal with it?"
What was she thinking at that time?
She was thinking, "Have you ever thought about how I feel?" Being pointed at and called worse than a beast by my own son.
Under the strange gazes of people passing by outside the ward, she was thinking, you pushed me into such an unkind and unjust situation in public, have you ever thought about how I should deal with it?
"If you think I pushed it, show me the evidence and sue me."
Han Chengyu covered his face and squatted on the ground, his voice full of dejection, "Mom, don't force me. You know I can't do that."
At that moment, she just felt that all this was so absurd and ridiculous.
She was like a clown, forced to become a part of their sadomasochistic love affair.
This was confirmed when I learned that all of that was part of the plot in the book.
But is it really beyond my control?
Are their words and actions really controlled by the author's will?
Then why did the book describe her as doing all kinds of bad things even though she did nothing?
Why is the heroine in the book the embodiment of truth, goodness and beauty, but the Su Ranran she saw is so scheming.
Is it the plot setting in the book that affects the world, or is it that a corner of the real world evolved into the so-called novel from the perspective of Su Ranran and Han Chengyu?
And what just happened made her certain that it was the latter.
In this life, compared to the previous life, the plot has changed a lot, but what remains unchanged is Han Chengyu's attitude.
Everything he did came from his heart.
"What are you thinking about? Are you in a bad mood?" The man's deep and magnetic voice brought Ling Siyan back to reality.
Ling Siyan turned her head and saw a man who said he was going to tutor her son came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel.
Ling Siyan was caught off guard by the sight of her eight-pack abs:...
The man walked towards the bed while wiping his hair, so Ling Siyan watched his well-defined abdominal muscles getting closer and closer to her, until they were within reach.
Ling Siyan calmly shifted her gaze away, sat down further, and made room for Lu Xiao.
He pointed to the bedside table and said, "There's a hair dryer in the drawer. Dry your hair. Sleeping with wet hair can easily cause cold air to enter your body."
Lu Xiao responded, found a hair dryer from the drawer, plugged it in, and put the air outlet in front of his eyes.
Ling Siyan quickly covered his eyes with her hands: "What are you doing? Don't you want your eyes anymore?"
Lu Xiao looked at her innocently and said, "I have never used this thing before. I just took a look out of curiosity. I didn't press the switch."
Ling Siyan rolled her eyes at him and took the hair dryer from him: "Sit still, I'll blow your hair for you." She couldn't help but mutter: "Why didn't I realize you were so curious before! Didn't you point the opening of the barrel at yourself the first time you took it?"
"No." Lu Xiao replied with a smile and said no more.
Ling Siyan didn't care. She turned on the warm air of the hair dryer and started to blow the hair of the man in front of her.
