After packing his luggage, Xiang Ling yawned sleepily: "Let's get some sleep first. I don't know when they will be back."
Su Luyang was very sleepy, but also very anxious: "You go to sleep, I'll just sit here."
"Aren't you sleepy?" Xiang Ling asked.
Su Luyang shook his head and nodded: "I'm nervous. I'm going to meet your parents soon."
Xiang Ling lay on the bed and hooked his finger at Su Luyang.
"What are you doing?" Su Luyang came over.
Xiang Ling put his arm around Su Luyang's neck and kissed him hard: "I'm recharging you. Come on, I hope you can conquer my parents soon and successfully marry a beautiful and wealthy woman."
In the end, the two of them were unable to sleep because Xiang Ling's parents, aunt and uncle came back soon.
When Su Luyang was dragged downstairs by Xiang Ling, his face was wooden.
Almost the same hands and feet.
However, the moment he saw Xiang Ling's parents, Su Luyang quickly adjusted his state, smiled and greeted them respectfully.
Cheng Qing and Xiang Zheyan looked at Su Luyang with a smile, and when they responded, they were not overly enthusiastic, but not cold either.
It's like treating a relative you've been with for a long time.
Three days ago, Cheng Qing and Xiang Zheyan hadn't planned their first meeting with Su Luyang this way. After all, he was the one who had deceived their foolish son, so they had to test him a little, right?
But they didn't expect that a "pseudo-cheating" incident would suddenly happen. After that, Xiang Ling told them the whole story of Su Luyang.
It would be a lie to say that I didn't feel heartbroken. No matter what, no parent should treat their child like this. Cheng Qing, in particular, was bizarrely angry when she heard that Su Luyang's mother had taken Su Luyang to commit suicide, but she was fine while the child almost died.
Xiang Ling told Cheng Qing and Xiang Zheyan that Su Luyang's previous life was too hard and that place was not worthy of being Su Luyang's home. He hoped to give Su Luyang a real home and a pair of parents who loved him, cared for him and treated him well.
As for Xiang Ling, the best parents he could think of in the world were Cheng Qing and Xiang Zheyan, so if they were willing, he hoped that Cheng Qing and Xiang Zheyan could treat Su Luyang as their own son.
Not my son’s boyfriend, but my biological son.
Afterwards, Cheng Qing and Xiang Zheyan thought about it for a long time before the current situation came about.
For both of them, Xiang Ling is their biological son. If Su Luyang is also their biological son, then they will treat Su Luyang the same way they treat Xiang Ling in the past.
"You must be tired from the flight. Why don't you take a nap upstairs?" Xiang Zheyan is in his fifties, tall and a bit plump. He always has a smile on his face, giving people a very warm feeling.
Su Luyang was still a little nervous, but the attitudes of Xiang Zheyan and Cheng Qing made him feel much more relaxed and at ease than at first. "I had a quick rest on the plane before, so I'm not very sleepy now."
Xiang Zheyan nodded: "That's right, it's time for lunch soon. After lunch, let Xiang Ling take you upstairs to rest."
As they were talking, Cheng Qing and Xiang Yaya came down from upstairs. Both of them wore a pair of pearl earrings of different styles. Xiang Ling immediately exclaimed "Wow" and praised them generously: "Ms. Cheng Qing, Ms. Xiang Yaya, you are so beautiful. Your skin is so white and tender, even more beautiful than these pearls."
When Su Luyang went downstairs, he also took down the gifts he brought for Cheng Qing and the others. Cheng Qing and Xiang Yaya had just gone upstairs to change earrings.
When Su Luyang knew that he was going to visit his aunt and uncle's house, he went to buy gifts for them overnight. The gift for his aunt was also a pair of earrings.
Xiang Yaya liked the earrings very much and happily pulled Su Luyang to thank her. Cheng Qing was also happy. She glanced at Xiang Ling and said, "Xiao Su is much more thoughtful than you. You've bought me gifts for so many years, but none of them have touched me. This is the first time Xiao Su has given me something that is exactly what I wanted. Look how tasteful he is."
Xiang Ling was secretly delighted: "Yes, yes, your Xiao Su has good taste, better than me, okay? From now on, I won't choose gifts for you, let him choose."
While chatting and laughing, Dickie prepared lunch and the family sat down to eat.
After dinner, Xiang Ling couldn't bear it anymore, so he pulled Su Luyang upstairs to sleep, and slept until the next morning.
Su Luyang was still a little confused when he woke up. He couldn't understand why it was daytime when he closed his eyes and still daytime when he opened them.
Xiang Ling was really tired and was sleeping soundly beside him. Su Luyang opened his eyes and looked at him, and couldn't help but reach out and touch Xiang Ling's mouth.
Soft, just like the feeling Xiang Ling gave him.
Before coming to Serbia, Su Luyang always had a sense of unreality. Family had always been a symbol of something that was not so pleasant for him, but something he wanted very much.
He knew from a young age that something was not right with his family relationship. It's not that he hadn't envied his friends, but he couldn't resist when he was young, and he was too tired to resist when he got older.
Until he met Elaine, but unfortunately Elaine also had ulterior motives when she approached him.
It’s hard to say that Su Luyang hates them that much. He just feels more like accepting his fate and thinking, “It’s just as I expected.”
Many people who know Su Luyang’s experience will feel sorry for him and feel sad for him, but for Su Luyang, it is not that serious.
He had been in a car accident. When he woke up in the hospital, he was not angry or sad at all. His first reaction was, "Oh, no wonder his mother took him to the theater. It turned out that she wanted to commit suicide."
Only calmness remained, and Su Luyang's mind was once again occupied by the word suicide.
While recuperating, Su Luyang was lying in bed unable to move, so he spent most of his time thinking about how to commit suicide with his eyes open so that he would not open his eyes and see the ceiling of the hospital after taking action.
Regarding this matter, Su Luyang still concealed a little bit from Xiang Ling.
He said that he continued to live in the nursing home because he was in a bad mood. In fact, after he recovered, he attempted suicide but was rescued and returned to the hospital.
At that time, Su Luyang was thinking that this method didn't seem to work. After waking up, he still saw the ceiling of the hospital.
The doctor diagnosed that Su Luyang was suffering from severe depression, but Su Luyang disagreed and felt that depression had little to do with him.
He didn't want to go home, and others were afraid he would commit suicide again, so they simply left him in a nursing home where he was cared for by doctors.
The person sharing the same ward with him was a very thin old man with a bad temper. You could hear him swearing every day.
Curse the doctors, curse the nurses, curse everyone and everything he can see.
At that time, no one wanted to stay in the same ward with the old man, but Su Luyang inexplicably stayed there and refused to leave.
His friends all advised him that the old man would disturb his rest, and that he should change wards, as he could afford a single room.
Su Luyang refused and insisted on living with the old man.
The old man also scolded him, saying that he was stupid and foolish, and was asking for trouble.
Su Luyang was not angry after hearing this, but laughed happily.
His friends were all very worried, but they didn't dare to force Su Luyang, so they could only keep asking doctors if there would be any problems. However, Su Luyang was fine at all, and his complexion was getting better and better.
After Su Luyang committed suicide, he didn't speak for a long time. He just sat on the bed and watched the old man scold people. The more fiercely he scolded, the happier he was.
Until one day, Tom Su came to see him, but Su Luyang ignored him. The old man put on a sullen face and scolded him away fiercely.
Later, Elaine came to see him, and Su's mother came to see him, but they were all driven away by the old man using extremely ugly curse words.
His friends were shocked and asked Su Luyang if he lived here just so that the old man could help him drive people away.
Su Luyang just smiled and didn't answer.
Now that he thinks about it, he had to live there just because when the old man scolded people, it always gave him a feeling of being alive.
The more fiercely you curse, the deeper your connection with this world seems to be.
Especially when the old man scolded him, Su Luyang felt as if a hand was forcefully pulling him out of a glass cover.
He came back to life.
The old man has cancer and the doctor said he won’t live long, but every day Su Luyang sees the old man, he is full of energy.
There are always two cups on his bedside, a pair of women's slippers that no one wears under his bed, and a few beautiful floral dresses hanging in his closet.
Su Luyang had been in the hospital for almost a year, and no one had come to visit the old man. Later, Su Luyang heard from the doctor that there was no one left at the old man's home, and those skirts and slippers belonged to the old man's wife.
Su Luyang thought, since they are no longer there, why should we keep those things? Wouldn’t it be painful to look at them?
Su Luyang couldn't think of an answer.
One day, the old man poured water into the cup he would never drink from. Su Luyang looked at him and suddenly asked, "Why do you still want to keep her things?"
This was the first time he spoke since his suicide attempt.
The old man was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "He is not mute."
Su Luyang asked again: "She is gone, why do you still keep her things?"
The old man asked, "Why don't you stay?"
Su Luyang said: "She is no longer here."
The old man said, "She may not be here for you, but in my heart, she is always here."
The old man started cursing again, this time at the doctors. His face was filled with anger and dissatisfaction as he babbled, "Those idiot doctors said I couldn't get over Lily's death if I kept these things. But bullshit! Lily is my wife. If I don't keep her things, whose things should I keep?"
"I know Lily is dead, but the things she left me are still locked in my mind. No one can dig them out. As long as I remember her, she will be with me for one more day. She is always by my side, so of course I have to prepare everything she needs."
"Little mute, you have to know that in this world, everyone you meet will have an impact on you in some way. For me, Lily has influenced me my entire life, and I'm happy to let her influence me for a lifetime. Now that she's dead, I want her to continue influencing me. These cups and slippers will replace her body and continue to influence me forever."
"It's clearly those doctors who don't understand, yet they insist on saying there's something wrong with me. They're completely incompetent. I don't know how they even got their licenses..."
The old man was still cursing, but Su Luyang was absent-minded for a rare moment.
He suddenly realized that his parents had left him many things. While not necessarily what he wanted, he did receive a good education and became a generally excellent person. This included Elaine, who had successfully helped him escape from prison, albeit in a tragic way.
All those who brought him suffering also brought him growth.
Su Luyang thought, since it took so much effort to grow up, it would be a shame to die now, so he might as well continue to survive seriously.
After all... he really envied the old man for having someone he would remember until his death.
If only he could meet someone like this.
…
Now, Su Luyang was lying on the bed, looking at Xiang Ling beside him, thinking silently that he had finally found such a person, who he could keep in his mind forever, prepare everything he needed for him, and wait peacefully to be influenced by him for the rest of his life.
He no longer needs to envy the old man.
(Speaking)
The author has something to say:
Thanks for your support.
Su Luyang prepared so many things for Xiang Ling in the rental house because of the old man's influence. However, Su Luyang did not forgive his parents and Yi Lian. He was just too lazy to care about it and did not want to be involved with them anymore. For him, there were more important things for him to care about.
