Chapter 142
Li Xingyuan clearly said that he would be back in two days, but three days have passed and he still hasn't come back.
Lin Sen called him many times to urge him. On the phone, Li Xingyuan finally said that he was almost done and would be home tonight.
He also said: "Waiwai, I have something to tell you when I get back. You may find it unbelievable and may be sad, but believe me, I am here and I will definitely solve all your problems."
Lin Sen was confused. When asked what happened on the phone, he didn't say anything. Lin Sen was in no mood to attend class that day.
Before Li Xingyuan left, he said he was going to look for some venture capital. Lin Sen knew nothing about that and thought he was going to start a business. He said those things because he was afraid that he would disagree.
Thinking of this, Lin Sen felt much more relieved. As long as Li Xingyuan didn't leave him for too long, he wouldn't have to be unreasonable and refuse to let him go.
After returning home from school, he kept looking at the time. Li Xingyuan said on WeChat that the time was almost up, so he suddenly had an idea and went to change his clothes, intending to give Li Xingyuan a surprise.
Lin Yuanlai completed the handover with Li Xingyuan in the fastest time. During this process, he felt that Li Xingyuan was more and more capable. Later, he found out that he was also a company president before he came.
Lin Yuanlai was even more satisfied with him.
When leaving the technology company, Lin Yuanlai looked back at the two words "Wu Mu" shining with golden light and said: "I place all my hopes on you."
Li Xingyuan said: "Brother Lin, don't worry, I will do my best."
Lin Yuanlai patted his shoulder, and the two went home together, ready to confess everything to Lin Sen.
When he arrived at the door, Li Xingyuan entered the password to open it.
"Uncle Li, welcome home!" Lin Sen stood at the entrance wearing a JK suit and opened his arms to him.
Li Xingyuan:!!!
He wanted to close the door again because Lin Yuanlai was still behind him.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Lin Yuanlai had already seen it. The father and son stared at each other across Li Xingyuan, petrified for a long time.
Lin Sen was the first to react. He covered his legs under his miniskirt and said, "Dad, why are you back?!"
Lin Yuanlai: "I...I...you..."
Lin Sen was extremely embarrassed. He glared at Li Xingyuan, then turned around and ran back to his room to change clothes.
Lin Yuanlai looked at Li Xingyuan with complicated eyes. Li Xingyuan had no words to express his pain. He really didn't know how to explain it.
Lin Sen changed into normal pajamas and came out. Li Xingyuan and Lin Yuanlai were sitting on the sofa in silence.
Lin Sen asked: "Why did you two come back together?"
Li Xingyuan and Lin Yuanlai looked at each other, then Lin Yuanlai nodded to him, motioning for him to speak.
Lin Sen looked at the two people flirting with each other:???
Li Xingyuan said with a slightly heavy expression: "Lin Sen, Brother Lin and I have something to confess to you."
Lin Sen was horrified and took a step back: "Don't tell me you two are in love!!!"
No wonder Li Xingyuan said he would find it unbelievable and sad!
Li Xingyuan: ...
Lin Yuanlai:???
This child's brain has been completely poisoned by the novel.
Li Xingyuan had no choice but to hold his hand and ask him to sit down: "Calm down, Brother Lin and I are not what you think."
"Oh, okay." Lin Sen sat down obediently.
During the next ten minutes or so, it was basically Li Xingyuan who was talking, Lin Sen was listening with his eyes wide open, and Lin Yuanlai would nod and agree from time to time.
Earlier, when Lin Sen heard Li Xingyuan say that the world they live in is a book and he is an outsider, although he was surprised, he could easily accept this second dimension.
When he heard about his own ending and how his father created a book-traveling system for him in an attempt to save him, he found it a bit amusing.
Until I heard Li Xingyuan say that according to the plot, his father only had two days.
Lin Sen could no longer accept it. He threw himself at Lin Yuanlai's legs and said, "Dad, you two are just teasing me, right? You are so healthy, how could you die? Don't lie to me, I don't want to hear this!"
Lin Yuanlai held back his tears, stroked his son's head, and said in a choked voice: "My dear, Dad also hopes that all this is false, but Dad can't lie to you anymore. Xingyuan said that lying to you is cruel to you. This is the first time Dad is honest with you, and I also think you have the right to know the truth."
Lin Sen finally believed it. He couldn't utter a word and lay on Lin Yuanlai's legs and cried.
I cried until I had no strength left, cried until my voice became hoarse, cried until I almost fainted.
Lin Yuanlai coaxed him: "Don't worry, dear boy. Even if Dad dies in two days, he will be reborn in the future. It's just that he will be reborn in another parallel world and still be Waiwai's father."
Li Xingyuan also comforted Lin Sen: "Separation is only temporary. If we want to change the ending, we need to do it step by step. Lin Sen, the most important thing now is to send you out of this world before you are 22 years old."
Lin Sen gnashed his teeth and asked: "Who is the author of this book? I want to kill him!"
Li Xingyuan saw that he was very emotional and said, "You will have a chance to meet him."
That night, the three of them talked until dawn. Lin Yuanlai asked for a few days off for his son, wanting to spend more time with him in his final moments.
Lin Sen's eyes were red and swollen from crying, so Li Xingyuan asked him to lie on the bed and put an ice pack on his eye sockets.
Lin Yuanlai couldn't bear it anymore and went to bed. He even joked that if he continued to endure it, he would have a heart attack today, without having to wait until tomorrow.
After Li Xingyuan gave Lin Sen an ice pack, he massaged his solar plexus. Lin Sen asked hoarsely, "Li Xingyuan, did you really get in?"
Li Xingyuan nodded: "Yes."
"No wonder you appeared out of nowhere and fell on me the day we met."
Li Xingyuan said: "Well, this is how fate began."
Lin Sen asked again: "What did you do before you came in?"
Li Xingyuan said: "Be a puppet."
"ah?"
Li Xingyuan smiled, lay down next to him, and asked: "Do you want to hear about my story?"
"I want to listen."
"If I told you that I was a murderer and that I got here after being shot, would you be afraid of me?"
Lin Sen shook his head firmly: "Don't be afraid, you won't hurt me."
Li Xingyuan's heart was filled with ripples, and for the first time in his life, he felt the urge to speak his mind.
He was willing to reveal all the past that was sealed by scars in his heart to Lin Sen. He was beaten by his mother and forced by his father when he was a child. When he grew up, he was like a puppet, obeying orders. He knew the consequences of kidnapping and murder, but he still did it numbly.
When he recounted these things from the perspective of an outsider, he realized belatedly that he had actually already become a walking corpse by then, and deep down he had already begun to look forward to the relief of death.
Lin Sen felt heartbroken when he heard him calmly tell the story of his short but miserable life. He hugged Li Xingyuan tightly and said, "Why did they do this to you? They are bad people!"
Lin Sen's world is very simple. In his cognition, it is either black or white. A person is either a good person or a bad person. Just like Li Xingyuan's parents, they are all bad people.
Li Xingyuan asked: "What about me?"
Lin Sen said: "You are a good person."
“But I also did a lot of wrong things.”
"That's different."
"Why is it different?"
Lin Sen was stunned by the question. He thought for a while and replied: "You were forced to do it, and I think you...are seeking death on purpose."
Li Xingyuan's heart skipped a beat. Lin Sen actually saw through it.
Lin Sen continued, "If you still had some hope in life, you wouldn't listen to your father in everything. Li Xingyuan, if I were by your side at that time, I would definitely stop you from doing those illegal and criminal things."
Li Xingyuan was silent for a long time, then said: "Yes, it would be nice if you could come to me."
