Chapter 38 Chapter 38 She hits, he punches, it's hard for the two of them to have wings...
Shen Miao's attention was always on the plot of the movie, and she was completely unaware that anything was wrong, but a hand rubbed her head when it loosened.
"Okay, stop crying."
Yao Heng handed her the bottle of soda and said, "You're not judging the awards. The leading actress didn't cry as hard as you did."
“Humph, you don’t even have a partner, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you.” Shen Miao poked him, took the soda and drank a big gulp in anger.
When Shen Miao said the word "object", Yao Heng did not refute, but his eyes subconsciously passed through her and looked at Hou Wentao, and then he seemed to have touched something hot and quickly moved away.
Shen Miao, who had never been in a relationship before, didn’t understand why Yao Heng was avoiding her at this moment, and she couldn’t tell what the emotion in his eyes represented.
After a long while, she gradually realized what was going on and said with a malicious smile: "Oh~ I understand~"
"What do you understand?"
At that moment, Yao Heng was extremely scared and avoided her gaze even more.
Yes, Shen Miao is so smart, how could she not see it? Moreover, she had discovered their actions behind their backs just now, as well as in the warehouse, before waiting for the movie to start...
Alas, the secret that I had hidden for many years was finally discovered by her.
Using her finger to gently poke his red and swollen face, Shen Miao exposed his secret without hesitation: "What do you mean you don't want to fall in love? In fact, you also want to find a partner, right? And you said I love crying, but were you secretly wiping away tears when you were watching the movie just now?"
Yao Heng: …
Well, it seems that I have overestimated Shen Miao's insight.
In many aspects, she is indeed very smart, but when it comes to feelings, she is simply an idiot and can't see any clues at all!
It was already past seven in the evening when they came out of the cinema. After three hours of eating two bags of snacks, Shen Miao was already full. She had originally planned to go home directly after watching the movie, but they still insisted on taking her out for dinner.
By the time we finished dinner, it was almost nine o'clock.
After winter comes, it gets dark early, and with few pedestrians on the road, it seems even colder.
Hou Wentao still had to go to the store to count the goods and settle the accounts, so he just sent them downstairs and left.
“Let me take you home.” Seeing Shen Miao unlocking the big 28, Yao Heng offered to take her home.
Shen Miao: “No need, the street lights outside the village are turned off early, it’s not safe for you to go back and forth.”
"It's okay," Yao Heng took the lock from her and locked the car again, "I have a motorcycle at home, I can take you there quickly on my motorcycle, it will only take a few dozen minutes to go back and forth."
After saying that, he asked Shen Miao to wait downstairs while he went upstairs to get the key.
Yao Heng went upstairs for a long time this time, and Shen Miao waited downstairs for almost ten minutes but didn’t see him come down.
She looked up at the windows in the corridor several times and saw that the floor near the sixth floor was always dark, so Shen Miao went upstairs to look for him.
Boom!
Before I reached the fifth floor, I heard a muffled sound coming from upstairs.
The building they lived in had two households on one floor, so the sound could have come from any household, but Shen Miao's intuition told her that the not-so-good noise came from Yao Heng's house.
After walking up half a floor, Shen Miao saw Yao Heng sitting on the steps.
The noise coming from home made him afraid to go in. He could only cover his ears and hide at the door like he did when he was a child, hoping that the storm inside would end soon.
At this moment, Yao Heng no longer had his usual sunny and cheerful demeanor. He was like a puppy abandoned on a rainy night, curled up in a corner of the cold street and shivering.
"Um...what about you?!"
"I'm... so... away!"
The walls were well soundproofed, and Shen Miao could only barely hear a few intermittent words.
It was Yao Heng's father who came back, and it sounded like he was arguing with Chen Xiulan.
No, that's not right. It wasn't just a quarrel, it seemed like they even fought.
Boom!
There was another noise, the sound of something heavy hitting the wall. Then, the woman's frantic voice overwhelmed the man's hysterical momentum and dominated the conflict.
This was not one-sided domestic violence, but a fight between two evenly matched forces, a game in which the east wind overwhelmed the west wind and the west wind overshadowed the east wind. Precisely because the strength was equal, it was difficult to decide the winner or loser, and it was impossible to tell who was winning or losing.
Raising his head slightly, when Yao Heng saw Shen Miao, his pupils showed more of a desire to dodge than disappointment and discomfort.
Family disgrace should not be made public, and he did not want Shen Miao to see this scene, but at this moment, he had nowhere to escape...
Shen Miao didn’t know how to comfort him. The noises in the house kept coming and going, and she, an outsider, felt uncomfortable listening to them, let alone Yao Heng. So she took the initiative to step forward and hold his arm, wanting to take him away from the doorstep and leave this place of trouble.
After coming down from upstairs, Yao Heng raised his head and let out a long breath, as if he wanted to pour out all the negative emotions in his heart.
They didn't walk too far, but bought two bottles of hot milk and found a quiet place to sit down.
The cold wind blew even colder than before, causing Yao Heng to shiver and then pull up his collar.
"Now you should know why my mother wants me to get married early."
Yao Heng's tone was flat, he held the warm glass bottle in both hands, and the smile on his face was slightly bitter.
Yao Heng is usually full of energy and vitality, not because he is really happy, but because he does not want others to see his vulnerable side and does not want to be sympathized with.
But at this moment, after Shen Miao discovered the situation in his home, he decided to confess to her.
He has been an envied child since he was young. He is loved by his father and mother, and his family is well-off and carefree. But no one knows that their home is actually a battlefield full of smoke and a shocking conflict may break out at any time.
Yao Heng's parents loved him very much, but they just didn't love each other. They were like two enemies who were forced to live together. They just couldn't stand each other and would fight each other if they didn't agree on anything.
They enjoyed the fight, but Yao Heng, who was caught in the middle, was almost unable to breathe.
On one side is his father who held him in his hands and met all his requests since he was a child. When he was sick as a child, his father would stay by his bedside all night without leaving.
On one side is his mother who holds him in her mouth, pouring all her love and care into him. She has never been absent at every step of his growth.
Who to help? Who to persuade?
The palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh, making it impossible for Yao Heng to make a decision.
When he was a child, he was ignorant and thought that one party must have done something wrong to make the other party angry, so he would take the initiative to stop the fight and kneel between his parents to beg them to stop, hoping to resolve the conflict and live a good life in the future.
But later Yao Heng discovered that this was not a question of who was right or wrong, they just had simple personality incompatibilities.
Sometimes his father might casually mutter that the food was too salty, and his mother would get so angry that she slams the table; sometimes his mother might complain that the floor tiles at home were not laid evenly, and his father would think she had some hidden meaning and then fly into a rage.
In short, neither of them did anything wrong. If there was any mistake, it was that they got married and gave birth to each other, and then were forced to live under the same roof and torture each other.
Yao Heng was tired and really didn't want to watch them quarreling anymore, so he would rather sit at the door and wait than go in and try to stop them from fighting.
"In that case, then they..."
Shen Miao wanted to ask “Why don’t they get divorced?”, but she figured out the reason the next second.
What else could they not divorce for? It was for Yao Heng at that time.
Even though divorce is no longer a shameful thing nowadays, it still has a huge impact on a family. Aren’t many families just trying to get by for the sake of their children?
Yao Heng took a sip of the almost cold milk, lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "So my mother wanted me to fall in love and get married early, because she said that as long as I get married, her mission will be completed and she can be free. Haha, I really don't know who assigned her this mission."
But the situation is much better now than when he was a child. His father now drives a sports car with the company and is often not at home. With fewer meetings, the tension at home has naturally faded.
“But your mother really cares about you,” Shen Miao had just talked with Chen Xiulan today, so she explained to him on behalf of Chen Xiulan, “Although she is a little anxious, she hopes that you can live a happier life than her, and not end up with a messy marriage like her.”
While sipping the milk in her mouth, Shen Miao originally wanted to persuade him to be more open-minded, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly felt something was not right.
When she checked Chen Xiulan's pulse today, she should have been "nourished" all the time. If his father and his mother had a bad relationship, why would he do those things? On the other hand, if his father was often not at home, what would it be...
Oh no, that can’t be the case…
Seeing Shen Miao staring at the ground in a trance, her expression also changed a little, Yao Heng raised his hand and waved it in front of her in confusion: “What are you thinking about?”
Shen Miao shook her head awkwardly: “No, nothing.”
She seemed to understand, and understood why the relationship between the couple was so bad, but even if she guessed the reason, Shen Miao did not dare to tell him directly what she guessed in her heart:
Brother, is there a possibility that your mom cheated on your dad, and one is not convinced and the other is angry, so they often fight each other?
