Chapter 141
Without thinking further, she immersed herself in writing her lesson plan.
The sunlight outside the window slowly shifted from an angle to the corner of the table, as if time had been fast-forwarded. It wasn't until she heard the teacher calling her that she realized it was almost noon.
He took out his meal card and asked Pei Qing to go to the cafeteria and bring back two meals.
Watching her take it and leave, Xiang Peiqing thought of his parents.
His parents were well-matched, childhood sweethearts, and a perfect couple who were together from kindergarten to university. After graduation, they naturally got married and had him.
When I was in junior high school, my father had an affair. At first, he kept it a secret, but after he was caught, he seemed relieved and said to my mother:
"I'm sorry, everyone says we're a perfect match, so I married you and had children according to their expectations. But no, it's not love, it's just habit."
For a proud woman like her mother, her father's words were like a slap in the face, carrying a sense of humiliation.
But why didn't you mention it when you were dating? When you were kissing? When you got married? When you slept together? When you were trying to conceive?
In his eyes, his father was an extremely hypocritical and despicable person. He cheated on his wife, but instead of admitting it, he pretended to be someone who was pushed around by everyone, acting like a victim. It disgusted him so much that he wanted to vomit.
But the mother loved the father; she loved his talent and his handsome appearance.
My mother and father had argued and quarreled, and she didn't even care about his infidelity.
But the father was determined to divorce. Finally, the day before the divorce, the mother tricked the father into returning home under the pretext of having a good talk, handed him alcohol with sleeping pills, and then committed suicide by burning charcoal in the marital room.
He was momentarily stunned by the news, but felt nothing in particular.
So many people love him, but losing two people who love him doesn't stir even the slightest ripple in his heart.
Even after learning of his parents' death, he received even more love, to the point of being irritating.
He remained expressionless, which the adults attributed to being terrified, making them even more protective and affectionate towards him. In reality, it was his exquisitely handsome appearance that was at play, something he knew all too well.
But as time went on, his family began to suspect that he might have a psychological problem and wanted to take him to see a psychologist, which was a bit worrying.
To avoid trouble, he finally shed two tears, showing fear and unease like a child who has lost his parents in the eyes of the world.
Seeing the relieved expressions on her family's faces, Xiang Peiqing seemed to understand her father's hypocrisy.
As he grew up, everyone said he resembled his father.
His appearance avoids the flaws of his parents and combines their best features, but he looks more like his father.
But they weren't talking about his appearance, but his personality. He was practically a carbon copy of his father, gentle yet lazy, averse to trouble but not afraid of trouble either, exuding a low-key arrogance in every way.
Outsiders don't know how his parents died, which is considered a scandal; the news released to the public is that it was a car accident.
Whenever someone compliments him on resembling his father, Xiang Peiqing smiles obediently.
What he didn't say was that he was actually more like his mother.
He approved of and appreciated his mother's actions.
Loving someone means being humble, possessive, and wanting them to never leave. Isn't it normal for a mother to be willing to share her husband with others? But the father is utterly ungrateful.
What did Mom do wrong? She has given all her love.
Fortunately, Mom finally got her wish and is with Dad forever.
Pei Qing snapped out of his reverie. He was a little saddened by his mother's death. If his mother were still alive, they would have had many things in common.
