Chapter 522: Kong Bo's Epiphany
Kong Bai didn't even know that Yan Yi had left. After listening to Yan Yi's words, he felt like he had been shot in the head and knew nothing.
What Yan Yi said was something he had never heard before.
Before leaving, Yan Yi said, "Teacher, you think I am too sentimental, but in my eyes, you are also too stubborn and unkind, so look back and see who else is around you?"
Yan Yi never denied that Kong Bo was a good teacher who taught him a lot, but from an outsider's perspective, Yan Yi thought that he was an inhuman person, even to the point of paranoia.
Kong Bai turned around and was faced with a bare wall.
He thought of his wife and his children. He couldn't remember what they looked like now, nor could he remember when they last spoke to each other.
He stood up slowly, with Yan Yi's words in his mind: I can go far without giving up anything.
What did you give up? Your feelings? Your family?
Kong Bai was a little panicked at this moment. He left the military of the capital star and returned home.
He didn't rush in. He stood outside and watched his wife and children talking and laughing. The atmosphere between his children was also very relaxed.
What does his home look like in his memory? A silent daughter-in-law, silent children, who rarely smile in front of him.
Why don't they smile at themselves?
He remembered that he always scolded his wife for doing meaningless things, always complained about his children being noisy, saying that they did not study well, and disliked them for being too pampered and not having the perseverance of the children of soldiers.
What else did he do for his family besides this? Nothing, he never gave them any understanding, nor did he think about understanding his children's thoughts.
At that time, he always felt that he should devote everything to the capital star, and he still had a lot of meaningful things to do.
What is the point? Is he really wrong?
“I don’t have to give up anything to go far.”
It was Yan Yi's words again.
When his wife, who was talking and laughing in the yard, saw him, she looked surprised at first, and then the smile on her face faded. His son and daughter also stopped smiling and looked at him as if he were a stranger.
Kong Bai's wife welcomed Kong Bai over and asked: "Are you taking a day off today?"
"Um!"
Kong Bai nodded. He found that he didn't fit in here and had no topics to talk about with them.
"Father." The two children also had an indifferent attitude.
The originally warm atmosphere suddenly became cold.
"What were you talking about just now?" Kong Bai could only find a topic to talk about.
The wife looked at her daughter tenderly: "My daughter is pregnant."
"When did she get married?" Kong Bai was stunned. Why didn't he know?
The atmosphere became tense again. Kong Bai heard his own nervous heartbeat and wondered why he knew nothing.
Kong Bo's daughter touched her belly and said, "Oh, I gave you a call at that time, and you said I didn't need to tell you about trivial matters. Later, I sent you a message, but you didn't reply, and you didn't come, so there's nothing to say."
Kong Bai took out his smart brain.
Kong Bo's son sneered: "No wonder we can't receive any messages, it turns out we are in the stranger column."
Kong Bo was at a loss, he never cared about these things.
The wife looked at the child gently and said, "Your sister is tired. Take her upstairs to rest. Don't let her eat secretly."
After the two children went upstairs, Kong Bai looked at his wife, who just poured him a glass of water.
"I didn't mean to not go," Kong Bo explained.
"I know you have a lot of things to do every day. This little thing is not worth mentioning in front of the problems of the capital planet. You have never participated in their affairs since they were young, and they don't care about just getting married once."
The light words poked Kong Bo's heart: "I care."
"You don't care." The wife shook her head. "You may not even know how old they are. You are a good general, but you are not a good father."
Kong Bai was speechless.
Kong Bo's wife checked the time and said, "How many days are you leaving today?"
"I..." He looked at the strange home and finally didn't say that he wanted to stay for a day, "I'll leave in a while."
"good."
Kong Bai just sat there with his wife in silence. He really had no topics to talk about. He even said that they hadn't had a good chat together in all these years.
Looking at Kong Bai's back as he left, Kong Bai's wife was a little dazed. Kong Bai was very strange today, but she no longer cared.
She also admired Kong Bai back then, and she wanted to live a good life with him, but later she found out that she was wrong. Kong Bai was not as good as she had imagined, so she always pretended that she had no husband. Hasn’t she raised the child over the years?
It’s the same whether there is Kong Bo or not.
Kong Bai returned to the military in a daze. Many people saw his abnormality. After hearing it, Yan Yi told everyone not to worry and that he would be fine in two days.
Sure enough, after one night, Kong Bai became the same Kong Bai as before, but Yan Yi could feel that he always seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Yan Yi is not a caring disciple this time. For some things, being aware of them and saying them out loud are two different things, so Yan Yi is waiting.
After Yan Yi waited for two or three days, Kong Bai came again.
"Yan Yi, what you said the other day made sense to me, but can you continue to tell me what you should do?"
He wanted to repair the relationship between him and his wife.
Yan Yi sighed: "Teacher, you have devoted your entire life to the Capital Star, which is great, but you have only spent seven days of your life with your family. Only seven days of your life are spent with your wife and her children. For a period of time, they did not even live on your allowance."
Kong Bo was shocked: "Impossible, I give money to my family every month..."
"I once met Master's wife in the hospital because your daughter was sick and they couldn't contact you. That's when I learned that they hadn't contacted you for two years. Master's wife was the one who was maintaining your life at home. Later, I went to ask about it and found out that you had temporarily hidden all your information because of a mission, and you forgot about it after that time."
Kong Bai shook his head. He had no recollection of this incident at all.
"I asked the center to open a virtual account and transfer your salary from there every month. Since then, I have been paying attention to Master's Wife. If I hadn't seen her photo in your study, I wouldn't have recognized her."
Kong Bai was so ashamed that he couldn't speak: "You always thought I was sentimental, and I always thought you were cold-blooded and heartless."
He looked at his respected teacher: "My advice is to return to the way things were before and don't bother them. They are very happy now."
After a long while, Kong Bo looked up: "I know what you mean, can you tell me more about them?"
How ironic! A father needs to learn more about his children from his apprentice.
