When a surprise suddenly comes, the first reaction of the human brain is not ecstasy, but doubt. Is all this really happening? Faced with the emotional Lin Shen and Du Yushu, his head was buzzing and he subconsciously looked at Yan Ting. As long as Yan Ting is here, his heart will not be confused or uneasy.
Yan Ting saw that Li Zhao hadn't reacted at all, and he didn't want him to be cold outside: "Uncle and aunt, let's go inside and talk first." "Right, right." Du Yushu choked up and nodded, "We can't let the child freeze."
Lin Hong, who was following behind Lin Shen and Du Yushu and his wife, couldn't help but look at Yan Ting a few more times, and his eyes fell on the hands he and Li Zhao were holding together.
Du Yushu pulled Li Zhao's arm carefully, fearing that if he pulled too hard, Li Zhao would be unhappy, and also afraid that if he pulled too lightly, Li Zhao would blink and disappear.
"I..." Li Zhao opened his mouth. Xu wanted to ask them, are they really his parents? But he couldn't ask. When he was young, he had imagined what his parents looked like countless times. He hoped that they would take him away, but he never waited for that to happen. Having waited so long, he almost forgot to wait.
He wanted to ask them where they had been all these years and why they didn't look for him? Facing Du Yushu who was crying so hard that she could hardly breathe, he couldn't ask. A soft handkerchief was placed in Li Zhao's hand, and he turned his head to look at Yan Ting.
"Stop crying." Li Zhao didn't know whether to continue calling Du Yushu Auntie or call her Mom. This scene was so unreal that he couldn't even scream.
Du Yushu has always been an elegant woman, with unique grace in every frown and smile, but at this moment in front of Li Zhao, she is just a mother full of guilt and love. "Zhao Zhao, I'm sorry, Mom is sorry." Du Yushu burst into tears. Li Zhao hesitated for a moment, then reached out and hugged Du Yushu. The moment Li Zhao reached out and hugged her, Du Yushu burst into tears.
The crying was so sad that it pulled Li Zhao out of his unreal trance.
He patted Du Yushu's back gently, his movements very gentle.
Lin Shen looked at this gentle and considerate child, took off his glasses and gently wiped his eyes, unable to speak for a long time.
Lin Hong, who was sitting next to him, looked at Li Zhao and suddenly remembered something. Eleven years ago, my younger brother Lin Shen accidentally saw a report on the Internet about adoptive parents abusing their child. At that time, almost no one paid attention to the report, but my younger brother sympathized with the child. That same night, he wrote an article opposing child abuse and urging all sectors of society to pay attention to protecting minors. He published it under a pseudonym in the authoritative newspaper "National Daily". After this article was published, it attracted attention from people from all walks of life, and both print and online media rushed to report on the matter. It is said that the local relevant departments helped the abused child start a new life shortly after public opinion fermented, and the matter was resolved relatively satisfactorily.
The abused child eleven years ago...
Lin Hong took out his cell phone and searched for Li Zhao's information on the Internet. He was filled with a sigh of relief for a long time. Li Zhao...is the kid from that year.
With Li Zhao's comfort, Du Yushu's mood finally returned to normal. She hurriedly explained that they did not abandon Li Zhao back then.
"Mom really doesn't know." Du Yushu's voice was hoarse. "We hired a professional diving team to look for you for several days and nights, and distributed missing person notices everywhere, but we just couldn't find you." During that time, she went completely crazy. Whenever she saw a child in someone else's arms on the street, she suspected that it was her baby, and she often heard the crying of a baby in the middle of the night.
But when she opened the door, all she saw was an empty corridor. Later, everyone around her advised her to have another child, as it would be much better with the company of a child. But she didn't dare to give birth to the child, for she was afraid that after giving birth, she would gradually forget Shao Shao. If even she and Lao Lin have forgotten that Shao Shao had ever been in this world, who else would remember him?
On the day Shao Shao turned one year old, she came to the river where the accident happened, touched the cold water, and jumped in. The river water was freezing cold and rushed into the body mercilessly. It was the feeling of death. The moment she was rescued, she heard Lao Lin crying. "Now that the child is gone, are you going to abandon me too?"
Old Lin, who was usually calm and gentle, cried like a three-year-old child in front of her, and she gradually calmed down. What would he do if he were left alone in the world?
"You've suffered a lot these years." Du Yushu wanted to hold Li Zhao's hand, but she didn't dare. "Mom will make it up to you. I will definitely make it up to you."
Li Zhao reached out and held Du Yushu and Lin Shen's hands together: "I have been living well these years. I have close friends and a gentle and considerate lover." He turned to look at Yan Ting. Yan Ting stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the back of Li Zhao's hand.
"He encouraged me to take the college entrance examination, accompanied me to study, helped me to hold a lively entrance banquet, and secretly funded the gene bank project for me." Li Zhao smiled, "So don't be sad, there are always people who love me." Li Zhao's eyes were a little red: "Don't cry either."
"Yes, stop crying. Today is a happy day. You should be happy." Lin Hong came out quickly to liven up the atmosphere. He took out a handful of banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them into Li Zhao's hand: "My dear nephew, I came in a hurry just now and didn't have time to buy a red envelope. Just consider this as... a meeting red envelope. Take it, take it." This handful of money, probably several thousand to ten thousand, some new and some old. In an era of popular QR code payment, it is rare to be able to take out so much cash.
This money was temporarily collected by colleagues in the research institute and given to Lin Hong. Everyone was happy that they had found their child.
“No, no need…”
"As you should. Uncle owes you New Year's money for 21 years, and also the birthday red envelope money. I will give it to you again during the New Year." Lin Hong noticed Yan Ting next to Li Zhao, thought about it, took half of the money he stuffed to Li Zhao and put it in Yan Ting's hand, "Here, you two, half each."
Hearing the word "young couple", Yan Ting folded the money and put it away: "Thank you, uncle." "You're welcome, you're welcome." Lin Hong smiled and praised Li Zhao, "You have a really good lover." She is sweet-mouthed and sensible, how great.
"Sir, Mr. Li, are you still having hotpot tonight?" The housekeeper came over with a smile on his face. "Eating hotpot is more lively when there are more people." Yan Ting touched Li Zhao's head and asked Lin Shen and Du Yushu, "Uncle and aunt, do you have any food taboos?" "No, we are all fine. As long as it is eaten by Zhao Zhao, we like it." Lin Shen and Du Yushu nodded quickly. They were extremely careful in front of Li Zhao, and even had a tone of trying to please him.
Li Zhao saw this and felt a little uncomfortable. He stood up and poured another cup of tea for the three elders. Lin Shen picked it up and was about to drink it. "Professor, wait a minute." Li Zhao quickly held Lin Shen's wrist, "The tea is a little hot, let it cool down before drinking." "Okay, okay." Lin Shen nodded repeatedly.
Li Zhao bent his fingers, and the feeling of awkwardness and discomfort was slightly alleviated.
The housekeepers quickly cleaned up the restaurant and the family sat around the table, the aroma of the hot pot lingering throughout the house. Lin Shen and Du Yushu tried their best to please Li Zhao. Their behavior and emotions were extremely humble, and Li Zhao's heart gradually began to ache.
While eating hot pot, the couple looked at the darkening sky and looked at Li Zhao nervously: "Zhao Zhao, tomorrow... can you come home for dinner? It doesn't take too long, two hours... no, one hour will be enough. If you don't have time tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or the big backstage will be fine. I will cook whatever you and Yan Ting like to eat." "We have time." Li Zhao held Yan Ting's hand, "Tingting and I both have time."
Du Yushu smiled widely and nodded quickly, "Okay, okay." She touched her bag and took out a piece of paper and a pen, "Mom will write down what you and Yan Ting like to eat."
Li Zhao was silent. He looked at Du Yushu's trembling hands holding the pen. He stretched out his hands and held Du Yushu's hands in his palms: "As long as it's... the food cooked by my mother, I like it."
Du Yushu stared at Li Zhao blankly, shaking her shoulders and crying. "Child, my child." She stretched out her hands and hugged Li Zhao tightly.
Lin Shen stood up, put his arms around the mother and son, tears streaming down his face.
Yan Ting sat quietly beside them, watching Li Zhao being protected by his parents like a treasure, and lowered his eyelids slightly.
Suddenly, his hand was grabbed tightly. Looking up, Li Zhao, surrounded by his parents, stretched out a hand and held him tightly. Their eyes met, Yan Ting's mouth corners slightly raised, and his eyes were filled with spring warmth.
It was late at night, and Professor Chen and his family were a little confused when they heard the noise coming from the neighbor's house next door. The faculty and staff building where they lived was an old building with poor sound insulation. Professor Lin's family is a gentlemanly people. Sometimes when they come home late at night, they even walk very quietly for fear of disturbing everyone. How come I can hear the sound of pots and pans in the middle of the night tonight?
Professor Chen is an art teacher at Beijing University. He is obsessed with painting and has a good relationship with Lin Shen's family. He was worried that something happened to Professor Lin's family, so he asked his daughter who was sitting on the sofa watching a play: "My daughter, when you came back today and met the old Lin family on the staircase, was there anything wrong with them?"
"They looked like they had been crying, their eyes were red." Professor Chen's daughter was chatting with her son in the group chat. When she heard her father's question, she put down her phone and said, "They were brought back in a luxury car. They were carrying a lot of things. Judging from Aunt Du's appearance, something big must have happened."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Professor Chen's daughter opened the door and saw Professor Lin outside with a box of fresh strawberries in his hand. Lin Shen gave the strawberries to Professor Chen's daughter, "Lanlan, my son sent us a lot of fruits. I remembered that you like to eat strawberries, you can have some."
son? Professor Chen's daughter gasped. Professor Lin's son...didn't he die a long time ago? She glanced at Professor Chen's expression cautiously and forced a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Lin." "You're welcome." Lin Shen was eager to let everyone know that his child was found. He happily returned to the house and washed meat and vegetables with his wife, cleaned the room, and even replaced the bed sheet with a new wedding pattern in the room next door that had been vacant for a long time.
"Dad." Professor Chen's daughter put the strawberries on the table and whispered to Professor Chen, "Uncle Lin... is he too sad and hallucinating?" Professor Chen sighed worriedly, "Lanlan, when you are free, go talk to Aunt Du. This couple... has a hard time."
"Okay." Professor Chen's daughter returned to her room with her mobile phone and found that a friend in the group called her.
[Just now my neighbor knocked on the door to give me strawberries, and I went to open the door. 】【Are they the couple where the man is elegant and handsome, and the woman is beautiful and elegant? 】
【right. 】【When you have time, talk to them. They seem to be a very good couple, but it's a pity...】Friends also know the story of Professor Lin's family, so they have a good impression of the couple.
Professor Chen’s daughter sighed and wondered how great it would be if their child was still alive.
Du Yushu didn't sleep all night and had been washing and cleaning all the time, but she didn't feel tired at all. Instead, she was particularly energetic. Before dawn, she went to the market to buy fresh fish and shrimp, as well as snacks that young people like to eat. When she passed by a children's clothing store, she suddenly stopped. If Zhao Zhao had never left her side, she would have bought him a lot of beautiful clothes and made him the cutest and most handsome kid in the class.
"Ah, I'm so angry after seeing the revelations online." Two young girls waiting for the bus nearby complained while checking their phones, "Zhao Junnan is such a jerk. When my Zhao Zhao was his stand-in, she suffered so much and endured so much pain, yet he can still say on the Internet that he never uses a stand-in?"
"Who told us that Zhao Zhao has no parents and no backing? He has to endure being bullied." Another girl cursed. "I felt so bad when I saw Zhao Zhao soaking in cold water in the middle of winter, freezing to the point of being unable to get up, but no staff helped him."
Du Yushu walked behind the two girls. She forgot her upbringing and etiquette of never looking at other people's mobile phones, and stared at the video playing on her phone. In the video, Li Zhao was in the pool, his face pale from the cold, and he was struggling to climb out of the pool. He slipped and fell into the pool again and again, twice, three times. The staff around were walking around, but no one helped him. Finally he climbed out of the pool and fell beside it as if dead. Someone could vaguely hear him calling his name. "Li Zhao, come quickly and prepare for the next game. If you don't want to do it, then don't do it!"
Zhao Zhao, her Zhao Zhao! What kind of life is her child leading where she can’t see?
Du Yushu covered his chest, unable to hold back any longer, and squatted on the ground, breaking down and crying.
The streets are bustling and noisy with people coming and going.
