"He used to be a firefighter, and only came back to take over Yeshi after my grandfather passed away."
Jiang Yueyang knew that the "he" he was referring to was his father, and she also knew that he was preparing to tell her about the knot between them.
She listened silently.
"One day eight years ago, my mother and I went to a private restaurant for dinner. While we were eating, an explosion suddenly occurred downstairs. The whole building began to shake violently, and flames and smoke spread rapidly.
My mother and I were trapped upstairs, unable to escape on our own. But just when we were desperate, my father appeared.
He was wearing a fire suit and risked his life to come and save us." Ye Wuhen said in a low voice, with pain flashing in his eyes.
Jiang Yueyang was moved by what she heard. She gently held his hand but still said nothing.
She had a feeling that this would not be a happy ending.
Ye Wuhen held her hand tightly and continued, "He asked his colleagues to rescue me, while he protected my mother. At that moment, I felt that he was a hero."
At this point, he gave a wry smile and said, "He is indeed a hero, but not a hero for me and my mother."
Jiang Yueyang's heart tightened and her eyes felt a little sore.
The voice next to my ear continued to come, revealing endless sadness, "After I was rescued, I waited outside for my father to bring my mother out.
Not long after, my father came out, but the person in his arms was not my mother. I asked why he didn't rescue my mother first, but he said that the stranger in his arms was in an emergency and needed to be rescued first.
After saying that, he smiled bitterly again, "Emergency? Isn't my mother's situation urgent?"
When Jiang Yueyang heard that laughter full of sadness and bitterness, her eyes were filled with heartache and she hugged him gently.
He buried his head in her neck and said in a choked voice, "Just when he was about to enter the fire scene again to save people, a second explosion occurred inside. The fire was even more fierce, and the firefighters could not get in. My mother died in that fire."
After saying that, he hugged Jiang Yueyang tightly, as if this would make the pain less severe. "She could have survived, but he killed her."
Jiang Yueyang didn't know what to say to comfort him, so she could only pat his back gently to soothe him.
"I hated him. I hated him for not saving my mother first. I hated his so-called righteousness. But everyone told me that he didn't want to, and that he was in pain, so they asked me to forgive him."
As he said that, he loosened his arms and looked into Jiang Yueyang's eyes, "But I can't do it. Am I wrong?"
Jiang Yueyang raised her hand and cupped his cheek, shaking her head and saying, "You are not wrong. To others, your father was right to save someone in a more critical situation, but to you, he was wrong."
Her eyes were firm and gentle. "In this world, everyone plays many roles. As a firefighter, he fulfilled his responsibilities. He is a hero to the people.
But as a father and husband, he did not fulfill his responsibilities and indirectly caused the death of your mother. As a son, it is natural for you to hate him. There is nothing wrong with that.
If you can't forgive, don't forgive. Don't force yourself, but I hope you can love yourself and not punish others by hurting yourself."
Hearing this, Ye Wuhen felt a little better, "I tried to let go of my mother's death and tried to forgive him, but I just asked him to put his family first no matter what the circumstances...but he couldn't do it.
No matter how badly I got into trouble, even if I was in a car accident and dying, I was never his first choice. Isn’t that sad?”
Jiang Yueyang hugged him again, "It's okay, you are good, one day, someone will love you wholeheartedly."
"Will there be?"
"Yes, I promise."
Ye Wuhen buried his head in her shoulder, feeling her breath, and did not speak for a long time.
After a while, two familiar voices were heard outside the door.
"Is this the place?"
"Yunlanju 527, that's right."
Jiang Yueyang recognized the voices as Su Che and Jiang Linchuan, and hurriedly pushed Ye Wuhen away and stood up, looking nervous.
At the same time, there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Yueyang subconsciously looked for a place to hide, but found that the living room was so simple that there was nowhere to hide.
Seeing her so flustered, Ye Wuhen couldn't help but chuckle, "Jiang Yueyang, why are you hiding?"
"What do you think?" She lowered her voice and glared at him.
Ye Wuhen stood up from the ground and said with a smile: "Don't be shy, they know how I feel about you."
Jiang Yueyang paused, her cheeks flushed, "That's not good either, we haven't confirmed it yet... um..."
She was too embarrassed to finish her words.
Perhaps because no one answered the door after knocking for a long time, Su Che shouted from outside: "Brother Ye, are you home?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang hurriedly made an X to Ye Wuhen, signaling him to keep quiet.
But at this moment, the alarm she set rang.
She was startled and hurriedly took out her cell phone to stop the alarm, then looked annoyed.
Ye Wuhen shrugged at her with a pleasant smile on his lips.
"Brother Ye, I know you are at home, open the door for us." Su Che's voice came again.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueyang ran into Ye Wuhen's room in a panic and closed the door.
Seeing this, Ye Wuhen smiled helplessly, then turned around and opened the door for the two people outside.
When the two men saw the wounds all over his body, they immediately became angry.
Jiang Linchuan had a gloomy face and remained silent. The anger in his eyes was like a cold sword, icy and piercing.
Su Che said angrily: "Brother Ye, who hurt you like this? Tell me, I will lead my men to fight back!"
"Who told you this?"
"I accidentally heard Dean Luo and Uncle Ye say that you were injured in the hospital." Su Che carefully observed his expression, "Uncle Ye seemed to be ill. I saw that he was wearing a hospital gown."
Ye Wuhen tightened his grip, and after a moment of silence, he said in a cold voice: "How can he have nothing to do with me?"
He turned around and sat down on the sofa, "If you're here to talk about him, you can leave now."
Hearing this, Su Che immediately said, "How can that be possible? We came here specially to see you."
The two followed him to the sofa and sat down at a random spot.
Jiang Linchuan saw that he had a plaster cast on his hand and said, "Wuhen, I'll stay here for a few days to take care of you."
"No, I have someone to take care of me." Ye Wuhen refused decisively and glanced at his room again.
If he came here, Jiang Yueyang would feel embarrassed to stay with him or meet him.
Jiang Yueyang in the room saw the photo frame on the bedside table and walked over to pick it up.
She gently touched the cheek of the woman in the photo. Was this Ye Wuhen's mother?
it's beautiful……
