When Chen Wanghan saw Shi Wang, he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with him. He pointed at the box in the car and said, "Hey, why did you put such a big thing here?"
A box wrapped in pink gift paper sat on the center console.
Shi Wang couldn't help but smile when he thought about it, and said in a low and tender voice: "Sanitary tampon."
Chen Wanghan thought he had misheard: "Huh?"
Shi Wang's voice softened a little: "She gave it to me."
Chen Wanghan instantly understood who sent it and said in surprise, "Oh my god, she only gave you a box of cotton balls for your birthday. How could she be so perfunctory? Can this box of cotton balls be 9.9 yuan?"
Shi Wang moved the box of cotton balls towards himself and said, "So you don't understand."
Chen Wanghan really didn't understand why he treated a box of cotton balls like a treasure. He looked puzzled and asked, "What don't you understand?"
Shi Wang looked at the box of cotton balls, his eyes filled with the gentle breeze of spring. "After I became deaf, I was very afraid of water getting into my ears, so I would plug them with cotton balls when I took a shower. This would prevent me from not being able to hear clearly with my good ear after I got out, and from having problems with my ear balance and being unable to stand steadily. Cotton balls are of course not expensive, but the thought and empathy you show me can't buy money."
Only then did Chen Wanghan realize that he was shallow. Even though he had not met the girl, he was inexplicably moved by her gentleness.
It's normal for anyone to like a girl like this.
I can actually think of this.
This thing makes people feel cared for more than spending thousands or tens of thousands on those famous brands, and it shows real effort put into it.
Chen Wanghan sighed, "I finally understand why you like her. A girl like her probably has a lot of admirers. And she's from a national university. I'm afraid the number of admirers could form a football team."
Shi Wang's fingertips on the steering wheel moved slightly. The evening light was a little dim, but it made Shi Wang's face look even pale and thinner. He had the calmness and clarity between a teenager and a young man, and a pure heartbeat.
The corners of Shi Wang's eyes curved slightly, and his long, straight eyelashes, like willow branches, cast a shadow under his eyes. "Probably quite a few."
Shi Wang's cell phone suddenly rang.
Chen Wanghan looked at the screen and observed Shi Wang's expression: "Do you want to answer it?"
Shi Wang also looked at the caller ID and was silent for a moment before picking up the phone.
Yang E on the other end said cautiously, "Son, how have you been lately?"
Shi Wangyan said simply: "Yeah."
Yang E just pretended to be calm and chatted with Shi about family matters: "A girl named Zhong asked me about you at a business reception. She's from Hong Kong City. Do you know her? Her name is Zhong Shi."
Shi Wang wasn't interested in knowing who it was: "I don't know him."
Yang E carefully steered the conversation back to the purpose of the call: "Did you block your sister? Your father said Weiwei cried for a long time and was dehydrated and had to go to the hospital for an IV drip."
Shi Wang lowered the volume and looked at Chen Wanghan calmly: "Can you help me buy a pack of tissues?"
Chen Wanghan glanced at the tissue in his car: "This is not--"
He suddenly realized something and unbuckled his seat belt: "Okay, I'll go to the supermarket first. If you want anything, send me a message."
Shi Wang nodded and unlocked the car door. Chen Wanghan opened the door and went out.
Watching Chen Wanghan walk away, Shi Wangliangbo's voice, so disappointed that he no longer had any intention of rebutting, rang out: "Yang E, she is the mistress's child, and she has no blood relationship with your husband. How long are you going to keep throwing yourself at her?"
His voice was cold and unfamiliar.
Yang E's voice trembled a little: "Son, are you angry? But she is also your family now. It is natural to care about her, isn't it?"
Shi Wang's voice was devoid of anger, but rather calm, like the setting sun. "Grandpa only has you as his daughter. How long are you going to be so foolish? Isn't Yangliu'an enough to embody your self-respect?"
Yang E's breathing was heavy.
Shi Wang remained silent. "Don't you see that Grandpa's eyebrows and hair are all white, and he's in his sixties and still can't retire? When everyone talks about Miss Yang, they all know her as that famous woman in Nancheng who's famous for paying for money. Grandpa trained you as his heir, but you gave most of your shares to a man, letting him and his mistress live freely. Who else could play such a good hand like this?"
Yang E didn't expect her son to say this suddenly. She didn't want Shi Zhongjing to be disappointed, so she tried to convince him: "But he is your father, and Weiwei is also your sister..."
Shi Wang said softly, "You want me to care about her, and then what? Fall in love, sleep with her, and get married?"
Faced with her son's straightforward questioning, Yang E didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Shi Wang's voice came calmly through the receiver: "Saint, you're giving away your things, that's fine, but what about my freedom? Do I have to sacrifice it for you?"
Shi Wang's eyes flashed with tears, and he said with a hint of mockery and despair, "When Grandpa was having his tumor removed, you ran over to watch the sunrise with Shi Zhongjing just because he said we should go watch the sunrise, completely ignoring Grandpa lying on the hospital bed. I was the one who accompanied Grandpa until the tumor was removed. I was only eight years old at that time. I watched Grandpa's pain after the operation and I couldn't do anything."
Yang E wanted to argue: "But I'm not a doctor. Your grandfather didn't wake up... I was just waiting outside the operating room all night, but your father said at the time that this was the last chance to save him..."
Shi Wang ignored her words, "Second Uncle Shi Zhongjing has kidney problems, and you forced me to get a matching test. But I'm only fourteen. He's just his uncle, but I'm your biological son. Can't you tell which is more important? If there's a match, will you force me to have one kidney removed? Is it worth it just to please Shi Zhongjing?"
Yang E felt guilty, but began to cry as if she was the one who was hurt.
Shi Wang's voice came from a thousand kilometers away: "This humble pursuit of love is what you want. You don't have even a little bit of self-respect. Aren't you a complete person?"
