"No, I can write," Han Chen put down his bowl, "I just don't want to write."
"Oh, why?"
"It's all because of my mom," Han Chen said with a face full of resentment. "Why was I the only one punished when Fourth Brother wasn't punished?"
Seeing that Han Ze was protected by his third aunt and was only scolded twice in front of Han Hongde and the matter was dropped, while he himself was starving and had to write a self-criticism, he felt it was unfair.
Han Ji smiled. He picked up the key and waved it in front of Han Chen. "Who do you think gave this to me?"
Han Chen then realized the clue, "My mother?"
Han Ji laughed instead of answering, "Although everyone says you're young and immature, but - Han Chen, it's time for you to grow up. You're putting Aunt Wu in a difficult position. Uncle Wu isn't around, and there's no one to protect her. You know Grandpa's temper, but you haven't noticed that whenever you make a mistake, Aunt Wu is the one who's truly punished."
A word can wake a person up from his dream.
Han Chen finally woke up.
How much trouble his behavior caused to his mother Liang Xinyun.
Whether the other brothers like to cause trouble or not is secondary. Even if they do cause trouble, their grandfather will scold them. Their parents are there and will say that their mother has failed in her education and that their father has also failed in his duty.
Han Chen is different.
His father was not present, so Liang Xinyu had to bear all the accusations and scoldings from Han Hongde alone, with no one to share with her.
Even if other aunts made Han Hongde unhappy, they would feel better at least because they had their husbands to comfort them when they returned home.
Liang Xinyun is different.
She is alone.
Only Han Ji had told him these tips and heartfelt words.
In Han Chen's impression, Han Ji has always been a considerate and gentle person.
He has always been nice to him.
Still now.
"What did Miss Zhou do?" Han Ji asked suddenly.
"Huh?" Han Chen didn't react.
"What did she make for dinner?"
"Steamed buns, porridge, and side dishes," Han Chen said. "To be precise, I made porridge, but it wasn't white porridge, it was pumpkin porridge. The steamed buns were bought from outside, and the side dishes were pickled by her mother. They tasted very good. You should try them if you have a chance."
Han Ji smiled faintly, "It seems that living with Miss Zhou is very pleasant."
Han Chen also found that when he mentioned Zhou Mo, he became more talkative unconsciously, and even told Han Ji a bunch of meaningless nonsense in such detail.
When asked by Han Ji, Han Chen actually felt a little shy.
"It would be better if her family conditions were better," Han Ji cut the steak elegantly, picked up a piece with a fork, and chewed it slowly.
"It's good like this now," said Han Chen.
Han Ji smiled and said nothing more, "You go home and take her with you?"
Han Chen's originally happy expression froze for a moment, and then became serious again, "I want to take her back with me."
"It's better not to," Han Ji said, "Eat one bite at a time and do things one by one. What you should do now is to ease the relationship with your grandfather first. He should forgive you for running away from home, and then discuss the matter of Miss Zhou with him."
"Let me think about it."
"You can also take her to the capital and have a look around there. It's the National Day holiday, so just treat it as a vacation and don't rush to bring her home," Han Ji suggested.
"Um."
I have to say that Han Ji’s suggestion is really good.
Han Chen raised his eyes from his deep thoughts, "What about you? When will you be home?"
"Wait a little longer," Han Ji put down his knife and fork and poured himself another half glass of red wine. "I don't really want to go back. This time - I'm afraid I won't be free anymore."
"What work was assigned to you?"
"Disciplinary Inspection."
Han Chen didn't feel too surprised.
Since Han Ji was able to come to Dongjiang to deal with Feng Chao, it was highly likely that he was sent to the disciplinary inspection department.
"fine."
"I didn't have time to be a teacher."
"There's always a trade-off. Promotion and leisure are two options."
"Now I suddenly feel that being a teacher is a good idea."
Han Chen looked at Han Ji's relaxed smile, and couldn't tell whether what Han Ji said was true or false.
He changed the subject and asked, "Can you tell Auntie about today's conversation?"
"Whatever," he said, taking another sip of his drink.
"Let's wait until she asks," Han Ji was afraid that revealing it in advance would affect Han Ji's employment after the 11th.
After all, Feng Chao's case has not been fully investigated.
Who knows what else might be dug out later. Some information leaked too early might alert the enemy and make it bad if those who haven't been dug out know the news in advance.
Han Ji was full of food and drink, and when he looked at the time, it was already past eleven o'clock.
"Are you going back at night?" Han Ji pointed to the side and said, "There's a bedroom over there. You can..."
"No, I have to go back. Momo is still waiting for me."
Han Ji smiled helplessly, "This Miss Zhou has changed you a lot. Before, you didn't care about others at all, and you didn't pay attention to other people's thoughts. Now - you have changed."
Han Chen said: "I know, I can feel it myself."
Han Ji: "I suddenly feel that your coming to Dongjiang might not be a bad thing. It's only been more than half a year, and you've changed."
Han Chen: "It wasn't half a year ago, it was ten years ago. After coming to Dongjiang to attend high school and meeting Zhou Mo, I changed."
Accompany her to eat skewers on the street, accompany her to buy posters, accompany her to do bad things without telling her parents...
When she cries, he feels distressed, and when she feels sad, he feels sad too.
From Zhou Mo, he understood what it meant to be confused due to excessive concern, and he felt the same way.
With Zhou Mo around, he could more easily understand other people's feelings.
Han Ji was slightly startled, looking at Han Chen with a trance-like gaze. He then smiled puzzledly and said, "I've never loved anyone, so I don't understand what you mean by this change, but overall, it looks pretty good."
They say love makes people blind, but it seems that is not entirely true.
