Seven o'clock in the evening, in Lin Yao's apartment.
After finishing dinner with her father, Lin Yao was washing dishes while daydreaming.
Fang Xiaole arrived at Jiang Rong at five o'clock in the afternoon and sent her a message. The two chatted on WeChat for a long time.
This didn't stop until Fang Xiaole went to work at the station.
But Lin Yao still felt empty inside and had no energy to do anything.
"Lin Yao."
At this time, Lin Duanzheng walked into the kitchen and said to his daughter:
"I have something to tell you."
"Oh." Lin Yao wiped her hands, walked out of the kitchen, and sat on the sofa. Seeing that Lin Duanzheng's expression seemed a little serious, she quickly asked:
"Dad, what's going on?"
Lin Duanzheng coughed lightly and asked Lin Yao:
"Have you always wanted me to get back together with your mother?"
Lin Yao was stunned, not knowing why her father asked this, but immediately nodded subconsciously.
"Well, that's good."
Lin Duanzheng coughed again and said in a seemingly helpless tone:
"In order to fulfill your wish, I decided to reconcile with your mother."
"Dad, are you telling the truth?"
Lin Yao's eyes suddenly widened, her face full of surprise.
Lin Yao’s greatest wish has always been to reconcile her parents and restore the once happy family.
However, as she grew older and understood more, Lin Yao gradually realized that once a mirror is broken, it is difficult to restore it.
What's more, my father and mother have been separated for so many years. Even if their feelings were deep back then, they would probably have faded away sooner.
Moreover, if their love is really deep, how could they get divorced?
Gradually, Lin Yao no longer had any hope for this matter.
But unexpectedly, today Dad actually said in person that he wanted to get back together with Mom!
"Yes, I did this mainly to satisfy your wish."
Lin Duanzheng nodded, his expression still serious.
"Very good!"
Lin Yao rarely jumped up and cheered.
However, she quickly calmed down and said, "Dad, didn't you always say that Mom was sorry for you? Do you forgive her now?"
"Ahem, actually..."
Lin Duanzheng was a little embarrassed. He picked up the cup and took a sip of water. After a moment of silence, he seemed to have finally made up his mind.
"What happened back then wasn't just your mother's fault. I'm also responsible."
"Ah?" Lin Yao was very surprised. This was the first time she heard her father say "I am also responsible."
Then, Lin Duanzheng said something that surprised her even more.
"It wasn't that your mother had someone else outside. The reason for the breakup of our relationship was... uh, one of my female students."
"Your female student?!" Lin Yao couldn't help but cover her mouth.
Professor Lin, who always behaved properly, became even more embarrassed. He touched his nose and continued:
"That was shortly after you were born. I had just been transferred to teach at the medical school. There was a female student who often came to me to ask questions about her studies.
I originally thought she was a studious student, but unexpectedly, one day she suddenly confessed her love to me.
When your mother found out, she was very angry and had a fight with me. Then she went to the school to complain to the school leader about the female student.
Later, the female student dropped out of school on her own, and the professional title application I was originally going to apply for was temporarily put on hold.
I was very angry and I often quarreled with your mother during that period. Sometimes we didn't quarrel, but we didn't talk to each other for several days.
That was probably when our feelings started to fade.”
Lin Yao pointed at Lin Duanzheng in surprise and said, "So it's not Mom who's fickle, but you, Dad?"
"How do you talk?"
Lin Duanzheng frowned and said to Lin Yao seriously:
"I didn't do anything with that female student. She was the one who pursued me unilaterally. Your mother just thought I was too attractive and made her feel insecure!
But can I be blamed for this? She should try to keep up with my pace and become as good as me.
Otherwise, if you are always doubting this and that, how can you live your life? "
"Oh, I'm sorry, Dad." Lin Yao stuck out her tongue and asked cautiously:
"So what's going on between Mom and that actor?"
Lin Duanzheng sighed and continued:
"Later, your grandmother passed away, and your mother and I divorced and moved back to her hometown in Queensland. However, I heard that your mother missed me so much that she became sick.
The company also encountered problems. As a woman, those years were really difficult for her.
Later, she met the actor.
That guy was also divorced and had a child. Perhaps because they were in the same boat and wanted to find a way to stay together, your mother married him.
"Lovesickness?"
Lin Yao blinked her eyes. She remembered what she had seen: after her mother left, her father was depressed for a long time and sometimes even drank secretly at night.
And ever since he found out that my mother married that actor, my father has hated people in the entertainment industry.
"Anyway, that actor has been dead for a long time now, and it's not easy for your mother to raise a child alone. Most importantly, in order to fulfill your wish, I decided..."
Seeing that his daughter seemed a little skeptical of what he said, Lin Duanzheng quickly continued:
"Give your mother another chance, another chance to get back together with me"
"Oh, does Mom know that you are willing to give her another chance?" Lin Yao asked.
"Well, she doesn't know yet. Anyway, don't worry, I will reunite our family soon."
Lin Duanzheng paused after speaking, and then said casually:
"Of course, next time you contact your mother, you can also mention it to her and make her happy first."
Lin Yao looked at her father for a moment and suddenly asked:
"Dad, has mom ignored you recently, so you want me to help you pass on a message?"
"It's late, go to bed early."
Lin Duanzheng suddenly stood up and walked towards the bedroom.
Lin Yao looked at the wall clock and said curiously, "Huh, it's not even nine o'clock yet?"
Lin Duanzheng turned around and looked at Lin Yao seriously: "Young people should not develop the habit of staying up late. Early to bed and early to rise is good for your health. Do you understand?"
"Oh." Lin Yao nodded blankly.
Lin Duanzheng then quickly walked into the bedroom and closed the door.
In the bedroom, Lin Duanzheng took out his mobile phone, logged into WeChat, and sent another friend request to Haiyao's WeChat.
After waiting for a long time, there was no response from the other party.
Lin Duanzheng had no idea how many friend requests he had sent to Haiyao these days, but she ignored him completely.
Lin Duanzheng originally wanted to call her directly to ask why she didn't approve my friend request.
But doing so would be a bit like begging the other party, and Professor Lin naturally would not do such a shameful thing.
So, after thinking about it, he finally decided to let Lin Yao help him pass the message.
He believed that his daughter would convey his meaning to Haiyao in the most appropriate way.
