Shi Yan was taken in and raised by Song Zhen when he was twelve years old.

Before the age of twelve, he lived with his father and mother.

…

When she was young, Song Zhen devoted herself to teaching in mountainous areas. After divorcing her ex-husband and parting ways with one taking care of their son and the other taking care of their daughter, she only took a simple confinement and then returned to the mountains, leaving her infant daughter to be taken care of by her parents.

Since then, Song Zhen rarely went home.

If her parents hadn't sent her photos and videos frequently, she would probably have forgotten that she had a daughter.

Shi's mother lost the love of her father and mother when she was young, but her grandparents raised her very well and made up for the love she lacked in this aspect to the greatest extent possible.

Later, the girl who grew up in an innocent spiritual world fell in love with someone for the first time.

Once you fall in love, it lasts a lifetime.

When Shi's mother had just graduated, she met Shi's father, who was five years older than her.

From knowing each other, dating, to getting married, their experience was as beautiful as described in the novel.

Shi's father meets the criteria of most girls' dream lover.

He is tall, handsome, successful in his career, emotionally stable, and has a strong sense of ritual in his life.

The newly married couple loved each other very much, and soon they had the fruit of their love.

Shi Mu was pregnant.

At that time, my father began to work semi-from home and spend as much time as possible with his pregnant wife.

In October, when the due date came, Shi's mother gave birth to a boy. Shi's father smiled and named him a boy with a single character, "Yan", Shi Yan.

The family of three is very happy.

This is probably the ending of all sweet stories.

Shi's mother also thought she was very lucky until she accidentally saw a photo in her husband's blog that he had not used for a long time.

The girl in the photo has a beautiful face.

What’s important is that her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to those of Kali.

At that moment, Kali suddenly realized something and remembered:

The lonely back of the husband smoking and enjoying the breeze on the balcony late at night, the dazed look of the husband as if he was looking at someone through himself, and the sigh of the husband's best friend at a party when he said with relief that letting go is a good thing.

These details that were ignored in the past and thought to be illusions now appear clearly.

Shi's mother couldn't help herself and secretly inquired about this girl.

She was my husband's college girlfriend.

Gentle, beautiful, generous and excellent.

The two of them were a model couple in the eyes of everyone, and were once considered by those around them to be a couple who would spend their lives together.

It was like waking up painfully from a dream.

Shi's mother stood in front of the mirror and looked at her face, which was so similar to that girl's. She began to have strong self-doubt.

Is her husband's kindness to her because she has something in common with that girl?

Shi's mother felt uneasy and began to pick on Shi's father intentionally or unintentionally, even making unreasonable demands on many small matters, just to have a big fight with Shi's father.

But her father did not do as she wished.

He was very calm, so calm that he was a little indifferent, and he always admitted his mistakes directly, even if he was not at fault.

If at the beginning Mother thought that Father's emotional stability was one of the reasons why she favored him, now it feels like a thorn in her throat.

Shi's father once recorded in his blog that he had a big fight with his girlfriend and they both said very hurtful things to each other. Afterwards, he felt extremely remorseful and finally coaxed her into laughing after a long time.

Speaking without thinking and thinking insincerely is often the norm between people in love.

If you always stay calm.

Maybe, probably, it’s because I don’t love you.

After a while, Shi's father finally noticed his wife's abnormality and asked her the reason in a gentle voice.

Shi's mother said in a very calm voice that she had deleted the photo of the girl from his blog.

That was the first time that Shi's father got angry with Shi's mother.

The man had a gloomy expression on his face, and he harshly blamed Shi's mother for taking his things without her permission.

The final result was that they parted on bad terms.

Shi's father took his coat and left in the night.

The Cold War began.

The two of them spent a week without talking to each other.

The first person to bow his head was Shi's father.

One day after get off work, he brought flowers and a newly bought necklace to cheer his wife up, but on the way home he saw his wife walking and laughing with another man.

Toki's father recognized that the man was the senior who had once pursued his wife passionately.

Shi's father turned around and went back to the company without saying a word.

The flowers were thrown into the trash can and the necklace box was placed in the deepest part of the cabinet.

At the same time on the other side.

When her mother agreed to attend her senior's wedding upon being invited, she returned to an empty home and learned more about that girl.

The girl had a gentle name. She accompanied her young husband through the most difficult journey of starting a business, where he had to work day and night. However, just before reaching the end, she was retaliated by her husband's business rival at the time and died in a kidnapping case.

She also died in the year when he loved her the most.

Shi Mu once came across a passage.

It is difficult to be truly moved by most older people because someone has already gone through mountains and rivers for them and fallen passionately in love with them.

At this moment, Shi's mother finally understood why her husband was indeed good enough to her, but she always felt that he was holding back.

…

Ever since Shi Yan could remember, his impression was that his parents were a rather awkward couple.

They were obviously paying attention to each other, but didn't want the other to notice it at all.

For example: Shi's mother was very worried when she saw that Shi's father had been working overtime until the evening and had not left work yet. She called him, but the first words she said were that if he didn't come back, she would lock the door and let Shi's father find a hotel to stay in, and her tone was indifferent.

When the father saw his wife dressed up and preparing to go out to party with friends, he wanted to accompany her, but in the end he acted as if he didn't care, and even told his wife that she could party as late as she wanted, and it didn't matter whether the other party was a man or a woman.

Shi Yan looked through the family photo album and realized that his parents had once been very much in love with each other.

However, no one knew what happened later, which led to a rift between them that was difficult to overcome.

They are really awkward.

On the surface, neither of us is willing to stay in the same space with each other, and most of the time you are at home while I am out.

In fact, the opposite is true behind the scenes.

Once, Shi Yan accidentally fell while running at school.

Shi's father called Shi's mother who was at a party outside and told her that his son had fallen badly and his leg might be broken, and asked her to come home quickly.

Shi Yan looked at his slightly scraped knee and listened to his father's nonsense in silence.

Another time, Shi's mother heard that someone in the business world wanted to give Shi's father a woman, so she asked Shi's father to have dinner with her. Shi's mother did not express any opinion, but took Shi Yan to the mall that day and told him to stay there and not move.

Then she called Shi's father and said that her son was lost while shopping.

After hanging up the phone, she sat in the milk tea shop next door, ordered a cup of milk tea, and drank it while watching her son from a distance, waiting for her husband to come.

Eight-year-old Shi Yan was very calm.

He thought:

Oh, they're being awkward again.

Shi Yan has been a quiet person since he was a child. He is not as naughty and noisy as other children of his age.

Playing with toys, doing homework, no matter what I do, I do it quietly.

Many parents envy Shi’s father and mother and say that Shi Yan is here just to repay their gratitude and is so easy to take care of.

Shi Yan has become accustomed to cooperating with his parents' "awkwardness".

When Shi Mu asked him not to move, he sat obediently on the reclining chair.

until--

"Are you lost?"
