Chapter 898 I Only Care About You
Zheng Yifeng: My dad hasn't told my mom yet that the movie's female lead is based on Li Yuntan, the author of the original novel.
Lu Yuanqiu suddenly lost his mood for joking. It turned out that Aunt Ye didn't know about this.
Lu Yuanqiu: Then please don't say it!
Lu Yuanqiu: If this is mentioned, Aunt Ye will realize that your father has been treating her as a substitute for Li Yuntan from the very beginning!
Lu Yuanqiu: ...To your biological mother, your father is affectionate and devoted, but to Aunt Ye, he is a bastard. She wasted all her youth on this man. Wait, do you mind if I scold your father like this?
In stand-in literature, the one who suffers is always the person being used as a stand-in.
But Lu Yuanqiu never expected that such a messed-up thing could happen in real life, especially at his friend's house.
Zheng Yifeng: I don't mind...
Zheng Yifeng: Indeed, he has been searching for evidence for Li Yuntan and Uncle Bai for so many years. He has done right by his ex-wife and brother, but in my mother's eyes he is a complete and unforgivable bastard!
Lu Yuanqiu noticed that in tonight's chat, Zheng Yifeng had changed his address for his biological mother to "Li Yuntan," but still referred to Ye Hui as "Mom."
Zheng Yifeng was genuinely angry for Ye Hui.
But who can truly look at this matter calmly and rationally?
Ye Hui transitioned from a moderately famous singer to an actress. At that time, she was still very young and must have had a clear plan and goals for her future. Her future was limitless. However, she met Zheng Ye and thought she had found love. She gave up her career and chose to become a housewife who would take care of her husband and children. In the end, she ended up like this.
Zheng Yifeng: But wouldn't it be cruel not to tell her the truth? I should let her see who my father is, and not let her live in the illusion that we were once in love.
Lu Yuanqiu: Then you need to first consider whether your mother has the psychological capacity to handle this.
Some truths need to be kept secret, because revealing them can truly shatter a person's spirit.
Zheng Yifeng suddenly remembered what his mother had said that afternoon: "If your father asks me for a divorce..."
The poor woman still loves him and is unwilling to initiate a divorce.
She probably really won't know the truth.
Lu Yuanqiu: Think it over carefully, don't act impulsively. My suggestion is to keep it a secret for now.
Zheng Yifeng: Hmm.
Zheng Yifeng held his phone to his chest, lay alone on the rocking chair on the balcony, gazed at the pale moon in the night sky, and let out a long sigh.
Why are there so many regrets in the world? If only Ye Hui hadn't met Zheng Ye back then.
Thinking about the previous generation, it seems they all spent the first half of their lives in regret, but as for the second half... Uncle Bai is quite happy now.
Although Zheng Ye was a scoundrel, he was probably also in pain.
As Zheng Yifeng was thinking, a thin blanket was suddenly placed over him. He turned his head and saw that it was Ye Hui walking over.
Ye Hui stood to the side, wrapped her coat tighter around herself, and asked him softly, "Why don't you go back to your room to sleep? It's cold here, don't catch a cold."
After speaking, the woman smiled and comforted her, "You're not used to staying here, are you? Let's go home tomorrow."
Zheng Yifeng stared at the beautiful woman for a long time.
Ye Hui asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Zheng Yifeng shook his head gently: "It's nothing. I just suddenly realized that I've never heard my mother sing. I really want to hear her sing."
"How could that be?" Ye Hui sat down on the stool next to him and said with a smile, "When you first came to our new home as a child, you cried a lot. Every night I would hold you and sing to you to lull you to sleep. Have you forgotten all of that now?"
“I forgot…” Zheng Yifeng’s laughter trembled as he responded.
Ye Hui's expression changed slightly as she saw tears streaming down Zheng Yifeng's face under the moonlight.
Thinking about what had happened that day, her nose suddenly stung with tears. Suppressing the urge to cry, Ye Hui smiled and reached out to pat Zheng Yifeng's head, just like many years ago: "Then Mommy will continue to sing to Fengfeng to sleep today. He's so big now, and he still needs Mommy to lull him to sleep. How shameless..."
Zheng Yifeng lay back down, and Ye Hui covered him with the blanket. She moved the stool closer, took a deep breath, and pondered, "What should I sing..."
Zheng Yifeng noticed tears on Ye Hui's face.
"If I hadn't met you."
"Where will I be?"
"How are you doing?"
"Should we cherish life?"
...
Ye Hui sang softly by the rocking chair. Her voice was so gentle and beautiful, just like Teresa Teng's back then.
Zheng Yifeng closed his eyes, and the image of his mother standing on the stage in a beautiful dress appeared in his mind. She held the microphone and gently swayed her youthful and slender figure.
The surrounding area was sparkling with starlight, and the hall below was filled with cheers.
She was even more beautiful than Teresa Teng.
Zheng Yifeng gradually drifted off to sleep.
...
"thump!"
Lu Yuanqiu fell into the water again.
The same fall, the same despair. Below was pitch black and deep. Although he was in the water, he could not feel any buoyancy. It was as if a withered hand was desperately pulling him down.
"thump!"
Another sound came from above. Lu Yuanqiu looked up, blowing bubbles, and saw a blurry figure jumping down from the bright water.
"Get up!!! Lazybones!!!"
A roar came from beside his ear. After thrashing around on the bed for a while, Lu Yuanqiu suddenly opened his eyes. He huddled at the head of the bed and saw Bai Qingxia and Lu Yidong standing by the bed, holding their breath.
The two girls' eyes were wide open, and their expressions were remarkably similar, even more surprised than he was on the bed.
Bai Qingxia: What's wrong with you?
Lu Yidong: "Did you dream that you were so pathetic?"
Lu Yuanqiu scratched his head and gasped. He was just saying it yesterday, how come he actually had the same dream for two days in a row?
"Are you alright?" Bai Qingxia leaned over and touched Lu Yuanqiu's forehead.
Looking at Bai Qingxia's face always brought comfort, and Lu Yuanqiu's mood eased a bit: "It's nothing."
"Get up quickly, the sun is already shining on your butt."
Hearing Bai Qingxia's words, Lu Yidong touched the goosebumps on his arm with a strange expression: "Sister Bai, you've changed. You actually spoke to him in this tone. I'm leaving, I can't take it anymore."
Bai Qingxia glanced back, not understanding what was wrong with that tone...
"Get up, get up." She urged Lu Yuanqiu again, "My dad is going to Tasmania to pick up Aunt Zhang's parents. Do you want to come with us?"
Lu Yuanqiu: "Are you going?"
"Anyway, I'm just lazing around at home during the holidays, and I'm thinking of going beachcombing again." A hint of anticipation flashed across Bai Qingxia's face.
"Sigh, Uncle Bai is really fast. They just confirmed their relationship and immediately got to the point of marriage. I'm so envious." Lu Yuanqiu threw off the covers, got out of bed, and walked towards the door.
Bai Qingxia smiled and followed behind, placing her hands on his shoulders: "How can this be the same?"
