Father and son meet
Shan Yun's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was clearly audible in the hospital in the middle of the night. He even thought that Shan Sixiong did not hear his voice. He took two steps forward, but suddenly stopped.
He noticed that when Shan Sixiong opened the door of the ward, a smile finally appeared on his anxious face when he saw Liu Yanyan sleeping.
"Yanyan, how are you? How is the child?" He squatted in front of the bed and gently stroked the forehead of the person on the bed.
When Liu Yanyan heard Shan Sixiong's voice and opened her eyes to see him, she burst into tears instantly and could only say "Brother Xiong", but she was very happy with Shan Sixiong.
"You've suffered. It's my fault. I should have stayed with you." Shan Sixiong stopped Liu Yanyan from getting up, helped her change the quilt, stroked her forehead, and looked distressed.
Shan Yun stood at the door of the ward, looking at everything in front of him and pursing his lips. He and Xu Ru had never heard these words from Shan Sixiong's mouth, and they had never even seen such emotions.
During an argument, Xu Ru once asked Shan Sixiong whether he was with her because of her or because of her money. Shan Sixiong did not answer. At that time, Shan Yun thought that Xu Ru asked this question to make excuses for herself. At this moment, the question seemed so sharp.
Perhaps, Shan Sixiong was really only attracted by Xu Ru's financial resources from the beginning to the end, and was nice to him just to gain Xu Ru's trust, rather than the doting of a father on his son.
Zou Weichen came back from the bathroom and witnessed the scene. He stopped and thought that Shan Yun and his father would have a good talk at this time.
But he overestimated Shan Sixiong.
When Shan Yun told him about his family affairs calmly, he just felt sympathy as a mere listener because Shan Yun was spoiled by his parents and therefore could not accept his parents' divorce.
Now standing aside, he can better understand Shan Yun's sadness, not knowing whether it is because he witnessed it with his own eyes or because his feelings towards Shan Yun have changed. This is the heartache as a participant.
He walked over, stood behind Shan Yun, put his hand on his shoulder and squeezed it gently. There was nothing he could do but to accompany him.
"Let's go." Shan Yun turned around.
Zou Weichen nodded, and took Shan Yun's wrist to lead him to wait for the elevator. Because it was midnight, there were few people in the hospital and the elevator was empty.
The two of them leaned against the elevator, and Zou Weichen never let go of her wrist. As soon as the elevator door closed, Shan Yun rested his forehead on Zou Weichen's shoulder.
After the elevator went down two floors, a nurse came in. She paused for a moment when she saw him, then understood, got into the elevator, and turned her back to them.
At this point, both of them tacitly agreed that it didn't matter. Zou Weichen still didn't let go of his hand, and Shan Yun still dozed off on his shoulder.
The nurse pretended not to see anything. Having worked in the hospital for many years, she was used to birth, aging, sickness and death. The person behind her must have experienced the most painful stage of her life.
At this time, silence is the best comfort for him.
A wave of heat hit him at the door of the lobby on the first floor. Shan Yun raised his head and took a deep breath, then turned to the people around him and smiled, "Go back and get some sleep."
His smile was clearly visible, relaxed and sincere. He looked as if he had never experienced what happened to Jin Tian. Instead, he looked like a patient who had recovered and was discharged from the hospital, and was very happy.
"I can't go hungry no matter how fast I rush."
"The wonton shop at the back door of the hospital? Is it still open?"
“Yes.”
As usual, Shan Yun ate two servings of wontons in one go, and then the two of them went home.
Shan Yun was helping his grandmother clean up the breakfast stall. When he saw his grandmother pick up the steamer, Shan Yun immediately walked over to take it and brought it into the kitchen, saying, "Grandma, don't move. I'll do it."
Grandma's face was full of kindness. Shan Yun had changed a lot in the few months since he came here. He now took the initiative to do some work.
Shan Yun clapped his hands and came out of the kitchen. Seeing his grandmother bending over to pick up something, he hurried over. His grandmother smiled and said, "I'll feed the cat."
Shan Yun breathed a sigh of relief and watched his grandmother go upstairs. Zou Weichen appeared in the stairwell, smiled at Shan Yun, and helped his grandmother go upstairs.
The man became more and more daring and climbed over through the window early in the morning, but Shan Yun just smiled and went back to the stall. Just as he was about to continue cleaning up, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure on the bridge out of the corner of his eye.
Shan Sixiong walked back and forth on the bridge, looking over here from time to time. When he saw Shan Yun, a smile finally appeared on his anxious face.
Aunt Ji stared at Shan Sixiong as he came over. When she saw Shan Yun, she immediately said, "Xiao Yun, do you have anything to tell Aunt Ji? There have been too many strange and suspicious people recently."
Shan Yun understood what Aunt Ji meant. She already knew most of what happened yesterday and felt sorry for Shan Yun. Seeing Shan Sixiong acting suspiciously on the bridge, she came over to warn him.
Shan Yun smiled, "It looks like Aunt Ji will have to find another reason to take Grandma out for a walk." He looked at Shan Sixiong who was walking over here, "I want to talk to my dad."
"Xiao Yun."
Before Aunt Ji could ask the question, she heard a voice behind her. She turned around and almost bumped into Shan Sixiong. She turned to Shan Yun and said, "I'll go get my bag first. Aunt Xu said yesterday that she wanted to help you pick out some clothes, but she didn't have time later. She's regretting it now. I'll take her with me."
"Don't buy too much, and don't buy too expensive things." Shan Yun said with a smile.
When Aunt Ji walked past Shan Sixiong, she was cursing in dialect. Although no one could understand what she said, anyone with a discerning eye could tell who she was cursing at.
Shan Yun smiled and turned to Shan Sixiong, "Wait a moment, I don't want grandma to know, wait for her to leave first."
As soon as Shan Yun finished speaking, he saw Zou Weichen helping his grandmother down. The two of them were chatting and laughing, and it seemed that they were talking about something happy.
"Grandma, Aunt Ji said she wants to go shopping with you." Shan Yun walked over.
When Zou Weichen saw Shan Sixiong, a hint of surprise flashed across his face. He immediately turned to Shan Yun, and his expression immediately turned into worry. He was an eyewitness to what happened yesterday and saw Liu Yanyan's madness. He couldn't guarantee that Liu Yanyan had whispered anything to Shan Sixiong.
After all, Shan Sixiong came too quickly.
Shan Yun shook his head gently and told Zou Weichen not to say anything.
"Hey, who is he?" Grandma saw Shan Sixiong still standing at the door. He looked a little helpless when he saw grandma. This was probably the nervousness engraved in the bones of a son-in-law meeting his mother-in-law.
"Oh, he's here to buy buns."
Shan Sixiong was shocked. He didn't expect that Shan Yun had no intention of telling his grandmother Shan Sixiong's identity, which meant he was treated as an outsider.
I still can't help feeling lost.
A father who loses his son's recognition must be so disappointed or desperate that he is unwilling to acknowledge him as a father.
Aunt Ji came just in time and said a few words, and really coaxed grandma away.
There were only three people left in the room.
Shan Yun stood still, looking at Shan Sixiong, his clenched fists, then clenched and unclenched again, as if he was happy, and also seemed angry, suppressing his emotions.
"The nurse at the hospital said that there were two teenagers guarding the hospital all night. I guessed it was you, but I didn't see you when I arrived, so I came to look for you."
Shan Yun's uneasy hands finally loosened, hanging weakly at his sides. He lowered his head and laughed out loud.
The four words "I didn't see you" were like a hammer, hitting Shan Yun's heart hard, leaving a crack and making his heart feel like it was about to break into pieces.
"Come in, I have something to tell you."
Shan Yun took the first two steps, turned around, reached out to take Zou Weichen's hand, and walked directly past Shan Sixiong who had a shocked face.
The three of them came to the living room on the second floor.
"Achen, go to the room and wait for me first."
Zou Weichen nodded and went upstairs.
Shan Sixiong glanced at the three black-and-white photos on the wall and sat on the single sofa.
Shan Yun also looked at the photo on the wall and walked to the sofa opposite and sat down.
"Is she awake?"
"Well, she was awake when I arrived. Yesterday... I didn't know she would come to see you. Don't worry, she won't be so unreasonable again. It might be because she's pregnant and her mind is unstable. And the matter between your mother and I has not been resolved yet."
After her son was diagnosed with anemia after being injured, Liu Yanyan went to the hospital more and more frequently and her mood became more and more unstable. Shan Sixiong had been in contact with Xu Ru because of divorce property disputes, and Shan Yun had been avoiding Shan Sixiong. After Shan Yun transferred to another school, Shan Sixiong felt more and more sorry for his son and wanted to do his best to make up for it, and he became more and more concerned about Shan Yun.
When Liu Yanyan saw Shan Sixiong frequently looking back at her former home, she felt inferior when thinking about her improper identity, the face of the successful Xu Ru, her uneasy suspicion of Shan Sixiong, and her pregnancy. All these pressures made her suffer from postpartum depression.
She wanted to sever the relationship between Shan Sixiong and Xu Ru, so that she could stay by Shan Sixiong's side with peace of mind from then on, so she traveled thousands of miles with a big belly to find the source that could solve everything.
Dan Yun can solve all problems just by saying a few words.
Shan Yun leaned forward slightly, his elbows resting on his knees, his hands slightly clasped and resting on the base of his nose, his expression unclear.
"You don't have to explain anything to me. I'm not hurt at all." His tone was flat, without a trace of emotion.
"Xiao Yun..."
"You shouldn't have come to me. If she knew, she would make a scene again. I don't want to deal with this again."
"She just fell asleep. I came here to buy breakfast."
Shan Yun smiled speechlessly. He had never cared so much about his and Xu Ru's relationship. Now she was showing off in front of him that she was so caring and concerned about her family?
"We're sold out of breakfast here."
"Xiao Yun!" Shan Sixiong emphasized his tone, but was afraid that Shan Yun would run away again this time, so he calmed down and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. I came to see you. After all, I am also your father."
Too.
These two words were really ironic to Shan Yun, as he became the "also".
"Has that enough time been spent watching? If so, please go back." Shan Yun said as he stood up.
"Can't we just sit down and talk it over?"
Shan Yun looked at him. Shan Sixiong's face showed some signs of aging. It was not known whether it was because he had to raise children, a lover and go through a divorce in the past two years, or it was because of the running around all night last night. He was quite different from his previous state.
I'm old too.
On the contrary, Xu Ru's career became more and more prosperous and she was in high spirits.
A divorce means two people are in different states. Time knows how to choose and polish people.
Shan Yun sat down again.
Indeed, it is time to understand what happened between them.
