Shan Yun's concerns
"I believe it!" He answered firmly without any hesitation.
Shan Yun looked quietly at the person opposite him. The light in the room shone over him, and that person's face glowed with light. There was light in his eyes, but his gaze was firm.
Give people enough trust.
He didn't know why he suddenly, in such a sober state, revealed his past to someone he had known for less than three months.
That year, Shan Yun had just finished his midterm exam in the second semester of his sophomore year in high school.
He took his excellent report card to the clinic to see Shan Sixiong.
His father, like Xu Ru, has been getting busier and busier in recent years and has been away from home less and less. Shan Yun hasn't seen him for two or three months.
He planned to go directly to Shan Sixiong, tell him that he had got good grades again, and then the two of them would have a big meal together.
When Shan Yun arrived at the clinic, Shan Sixiong was busy. Although he didn't come to the clinic often, he was familiar with the place and went directly to Shan Sixiong's office alone.
When he pushed open the door, a little boy of three or four years old was playing with a toy car inside.
Shan Yun walked in and exchanged glances with the little boy. The little boy looked very cute and he looked familiar to Shan Yun. The little boy ignored him and continued to play by himself.
Shan Yun thought it was a patient's child and didn't pay much attention to it. He sat in another chair and played with his mobile phone.
After a while, the little boy skillfully opened Shan Sixiong's drawer, took out other toys, and then took Shan Sixiong's mobile phone to play games.
Shan Yun caught a glimpse of it and immediately walked over to grab the phone. "Little boy, don't rummage through other people's things or take other people's things. Go outside. There is a toy you can play with. Wait for your parents there."
"Give it to me, that's my dad's phone, give it to me!" The little boy stretched out his hand to grab the phone from Shan Yun.
Shan Yun raised his phone. He still believed in the little boy. He called Shan Sixiong with his own phone, and the phone in his hand rang immediately.
"Look carefully, this is my dad's cell phone." Shan Yun shook the cell phone in his hand.
The little boy found that he couldn't snatch the phone, so he climbed onto the table and said, "No, this is my dad's. This is my dad's hospital!"
Shan Yun then noticed the little boy's face. He felt that he looked familiar just now. Now taking a closer look, he found that he indeed looked very similar to Shan Sixiong. Adding the little boy's words, the sensitive Shan Yun immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Your father's name is Shan Sixiong? Is this his clinic?"
"Yes, give me the phone quickly." The little boy took advantage of Shan Yun's daze and snatched the phone.
Shan Yun stepped back in disbelief until he reached the wall. He still refused to believe that the little boy in front of him was Shan Sixiong's.
This is all coincidence, it's all fake!
"Brother, who are you? Are you here to ask my father to have a tooth pulled? My father's tooth pulling doesn't hurt, so don't be afraid of the pain, brother..."
"What are you arguing about!" Shan Yun shouted, "That's my dad, not your dad!"
Even though he was already sixteen years old, and even though he knew he should stay calm at this time, he still couldn't do it. He now eagerly wanted to ask Shan Sixiong in person.
Who is this child?
"It's not yours, it's my father! It's mine!" the little boy also shouted.
While yelling at Shan Yun, he backed away, but accidentally bumped into something on the table and it fell off. Seeing this, Shan Yun rushed over without thinking much.
They both bumped into the bookcase, and it fell down. Shan Yun raised his hand to stop it. At this time, the little boy was already crying heartbreakingly, calling for his dad and mom.
Shan Yun impatiently endured the pain in his hand, supported the bookcase with one hand, and pulled the little boy out from under the bookcase with the other hand.
He just stood up, still holding the crying little boy, but before he could lose his temper, his injured hand was suddenly pulled away by someone, and he broke away from the little boy. He just turned around and was slapped in the face, knocking him down on the bookcase, and his hand hit the bookcase again.
"My child, my child." A woman cried and hugged the crying little boy, "What did my child do wrong? Why did you hurt him like this?"
Shan Yun covered his injured arm in pain. When he looked up, he saw Shan Sixiong's trembling palms. A complex emotion of anger and regret changed wildly on his face.
His uneasy heart finally died.
"Why did you hurt my child, Brother Xiong? Xiaohui is innocent. He is your son too. Look, he is covered in blood." The woman cried, let go of the boy, rushed forward and beat Shan Yun violently.
Shan Yun raised his hands to protect himself, but looked coldly at Shan Sixiong who was standing motionless beside him.
“Brother Xiong…”
The little boy's entire back was covered in blood, as he might have been scratched by the branches of the green plants next to him when he fell. He sat on the ground crying. The woman glared at Shan Yun while crying, while Shan Sixiong stood there in a daze.
The originally small office was in a state of chaos, attracting people from outside to watch.
"Brother Xiong, don't you care..."
"Enough!" Shan Sixiong roared. He looked at Shan Yun, then at the little boy, "Send Xiaohui to the hospital first."
Shan Yun stood up with an indifferent look on his face. When he walked past Shan Sixiong, Shan Sixiong grabbed his hand and said, "Xiao Yun, listen to me."
Shan Yun shook off his hand in pain, turned around, and looked at Shan Sixiong with indifference in his eyes. He turned around and took two steps and then stopped, "Shan Sixiong, are you worthy of me and mother for what you did?"
After saying this, he left the place that had changed his life in such a cruel way.
Shan Yun walked on the street for a long time. He didn't know where to go. He didn't dare to go home. He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself when he saw Xu Ru. He also didn't know how to tell Xu Ru about all the sudden changes.
It was not until his classmates called to ask him to play basketball that Shan Yun woke up and noticed the pain in his hand. He went to the hospital to get a bandage.
The doctor asked him to take an X-ray. Shan Yun took the X-ray. After the nurse bandaged him, he ran away without waiting for the results.
He didn't dare go home, and under the guidance of his classmates, he spent the night in a small bar in a dark alley.
He didn't answer any of the calls from Shan Sixiong, and he didn't even dare to answer the calls from Xu Ru. He didn't know how to respond to Xu Ru.
He was afraid that he would not be able to hold back once he heard the sound.
Whether he should say it and how to say it were questions he had been thinking about for the past two days.
Uncle Zhao also called, and Shan Yun lied to get away with it, but he really couldn't stay in the dark, noisy, and smoky bar, so he finally took a taxi and squatted in front of Uncle Zhao's house.
When Uncle Zhao met Shan Yun, Shan Yun, who was always clean and tidy, had messy hair and a beard on his face for the first time. Shan Yun saw Uncle Zhao who cared about him, and finally he couldn't help but tell him everything.
But Shan Yun didn't know that Shan Sixiong had already found Xu Ru and told her everything.
Xu Ru is a typical strong woman. She has always been career-oriented and decisive. After being hysterical for a long time, she calmed down and came to find Shan Yun after saying "divorce".
At this time, Shan Yun was being taken to the hospital by Uncle Zhao for another X-ray. His elbow bone was broken, so he underwent several hours of surgery and was put in a cast.
When he came out of the operating room, Xu Ru was already waiting outside. She was always calm. Even when Shan Sixiong told him everything, she just went crazy and didn't cry. It was not until she saw Shan Yun's hand in a cast that she started crying.
Xu Ru's crying actually calmed Shan Yun down. The mother and son talked for an entire night, and Shan Yun finally decided to follow Xu Ru's decision and agreed to her divorce from Shan Sixiong.
Xu Ru told Shan Yun to study with peace of mind, and she would fight for Shan Yun's custody and properly handle the divorce.
But what Shan Yun didn't expect was that the woman, Liu Yanyan, went crazy and came to Shan Yun's school to make trouble every now and then. She cried to everyone she met about how Shan Yun hurt her child, and accused Xu Ru and Shan Yun of being heartless. When she saw Shan Yun, she would rush up to him and beat him up.
Classmates gradually started to talk about Shan Yun's family affairs behind his back and gradually distanced themselves from him. He began to skip school, skip classes, and hide for no reason. In order to calm down Liu Yanyan's frequent disturbances at school, and because Shan Yun skipped classes too many times, the teacher and the school talked to him. Under all the public opinion and pressure, Shan Yun finally took a year off from school to recuperate.
When Xu Ru saw this, she wanted to break up with him but she didn't want Shan Yun to suffer such injustice. She decided to not only get Shan Yun's custody rights, but also take back everything that belonged to her.
Shan Sixiong's clinic was fully funded by Xu Ru, who also shared in the profits. Moreover, Shan Sixiong's tuition and investment were basically paid by Xu Ru. The two of them registered their marriage abroad, so if a lawsuit really broke out, it would not be easy to settle every bill.
Xu Ruzhen was unwilling to suffer any loss, and the divorce farce continued.
Shan Yun originally supported Xu Ru unconditionally, but his parents quarreled as soon as they met. The divorce had seriously affected his study and life. Gradually, he became numb and even disgusted with his parents' divorce farce.
Shan Yun rested for a year and eventually transferred from the nationally renowned Experimental High School to No. 3 High School. Because he was afraid that Liu Yanyan would cause trouble again and that his parents' divorce drama would spread to No. 3 High School, he always asked for leave for various reasons and even skipped classes.
Half a year later, Shan Yun, who could no longer bear it, finally decided to transfer schools and live with his grandmother.
This experience was something Shan Yun kept deep in his heart and didn't want to mention.
But tonight, he told Zou Weichen everything, just because the other party said "I believe you".
Zou Weichen suddenly reached out to Shan Yun. Shan Yun thought he wanted to comfort him, so he also reached out and held Zou Weichen's hand. "I am strong inside and don't need comfort. I just don't know why I told you this."
Shan Yun looked at his wrapped hands, the warmth of his hands was transmitted to him, and there was a slight sandy feeling on his hands, which should be the dust or residue left on his hands from peeling peanuts.
Zou Weichen leaned over, spread out Shan Yun's palm, and then held his hand tightly.
Shan Yun opened his hands and saw that they were full of peeled peanuts, each one full of peanuts. "I thought... you were going to give me peanuts, but this is... for me to eat?"
Shan Yun looked down at the basket in his arms. It was full of peanut shells, and there was not a single peanut kernel to be found. As he spoke, he put all the peeled peanuts into his mouth. Then he looked at the peanuts in his hand that Zou Weichen had just given him, and his face suddenly turned red. He touched his head awkwardly.
Zou Weichen turned around, took a plate, filled it with peeled peanuts, and handed it to Shan Yun, "So you like eating peanuts."
Shan Yun waved his hands and refused, saying he no longer needed it. "I don't really like peanuts, but I just kept chewing them and became addicted without realizing it."
He burst out laughing, and his laughter got louder and louder, and he couldn't stop laughing.
"From now on." Zou Weichen looked at Shan Yun who was laughing, "If you still want to tell me something, I am willing to be that loyal listener."
Shan Yun rested half of his face on his knees, tilted his head and looked at the person opposite him. As he watched the tips of the person's ears gradually turn red, he remembered the scene he saw on the campus that day.
That day, the boy rode his bicycle towards the light.
He was like a ray of light, illuminating this young man who had always been lost in a dark corner.
