Lu Yu always felt like an intruder in this family, out of place.
He will never forget that time when his father had a birthday. He used his long-saved pocket money to carefully select and buy an eagle-shaped wooden sculpture, and he was so happy to give it to his father as a birthday gift. However, when he happily took the wooden sculpture home, he saw a heartbreaking scene -
Their family of five were sitting around the dining table, making noise and laughing, and the atmosphere was very warm.
When they noticed his appearance, everyone was stunned, and then they all greeted him with a smile:
"You're back." This was the cold and majestic voice of my father.
"Xiao Yu is back! Come quickly, today is your father's birthday, and mom has prepared a lot of delicious dishes..." The mother's tone was a little distant and cautious.
"Brother, you're finally back. We're almost starving, so let's have dinner early."
The attitudes of the younger brothers and sisters seemed somewhat disdainful and impatient.
Everyone seemed to welcome his arrival, but he knew that all the excitement in front of him did not actually belong to him.
He had never truly felt warmth at home, let alone being cherished. This feeling was like a dull knife, cutting off his connection with home bit by bit, grinding it into pieces and scattering it into the wind.
It was also because of this that when he first stepped into the military camp full of passion and sincerity, a strong urge surged in his heart, and he decided to leave his warm family and devote himself to this passionate military career.
However, perhaps he himself did not even realize that when he resolutely stepped out of the house, was it his family who breathed a sigh of relief, or was it he himself who finally broke free from the restraints and breathed a long sigh of relief?
As he stepped out of the house, he suddenly felt that the sky was high and the clouds were light, the land was vast and boundless, and the mountains and rivers in front of him were magnificent and picturesque!
At this moment, he seemed to be liberated, like an eagle spreading its wings and soaring into the vast sky.
As time went on, he gradually rose to prominence in the army, demonstrating extraordinary talent and leadership. In just five years, he became a company commander, and in another two years, he became a battalion commander.
All his superiors who knew him well often praised him to his father as a talented general and a talented commander.
At the same time, his outstanding appearance and extraordinary talents gradually earned him a place in the Kyoto compound, and he became a favorite of many girls from wealthy families.
His mother began to call him frequently, urging him to come home more often and enthusiastically introducing him to potential partners.
However, Lu Yu had no interest in the women his mother introduced to him.
In his eyes, he was nothing more than a tool for his mother to show off and compete with others. And the woman his mother favored was not a woman who matched her soul, but a bargaining chip for her to compete with others.
It wasn't her appearance or family background that made him feel resistant, but her temperament.
He could even imagine that the good woman in his mother's eyes would become like his mother many years later.
In his mother's eyes, he, Lu Yu, has changed from the intruder to a tool that can be used to satisfy her vanity, a chess piece that can be manipulated at will.
He had refused and objected, but his mother was happy to do so, while his father just let it go.
Sometimes, he even felt that it would be better for him not to have such a mother. From childhood to adulthood, he seemed to have never truly experienced what maternal love was.
He may have once had some expectations for the warmth of maternal love, but when he gradually realized that this expectation was just an unattainable luxury, he chose to give up silently.
He never does anything that is one-sided or unilateral. Feelings should be mutual. If only one party keeps giving while the other party is indifferent, then such a relationship is doomed to not last long.
Coincidentally, his meeting with Qin Wan was due to a blind date arranged for him by his mother.
The girl was a distant relative of her mother. At some unknown time and place, she had accidentally caught a glimpse of Lu Yu and had been deeply obsessed with him ever since.
His mother mentioned this girl in front of him many times. At first, she only hinted at it vaguely, but later she became direct and explicit, constantly persuading Lu Yu to pursue the girl.
However, Lu Yu remained unmoved and repeatedly rejected his mother's proposal.
But his mother did not give up, and finally resorted to deception to make Lu Yu go on a blind date. And the person he went on this blind date with was exactly that girl.
The mother praised the girl as if she were a fairy, saying that she was beautiful and loved by everyone, and that she was gentle, graceful and sensible.
However, Lu Yu knew very well in his heart that this girl was far from being as beautiful as she appeared.
Not to mention her appearance, which was 30% looks and 70% dressing, nor her sweet personality in front of people but ruthless behind their backs, the fact that he had witnessed her fiercely kicking an injured cat was enough to eliminate the girl. What's more, whenever he thought of the girl, the cruel and vicious scene came to mind.
So, on the day of the blind date, he decisively fled the scene and returned to the army.
It happened that the army had an important task that needed someone to take over. He signed up without hesitation, and quickly got to work, successfully avoiding this farce.
After that, I met Qin Wan, fell in love with her, and got married.
During this period, although his mother contacted him several times and asked him to go back and spend more time with his family, he declined with a few words.
Qin Wan stood silently by, giving Lu Yu plenty of support and encouragement. She never thought of forcing Lu Yu to do anything. If you love him, you must respect him, and if you love him, you must give him freedom.
