Since half a year ago, he began to pay attention to where Duan Ruyun went when she was not around him. He secretly followed her twice. One of them, she said on the phone that she was going on a business trip abroad. In fact, she was living in the Red Mansion for a week, where she lived in the perennial locked courtyard of the Red Mansion.
"Do you suspect that she has an affair with her adoptive father?"
Zhuang Hong frowned, showing some displeasure.
These words were spoken out naked. Listening to them, Ling Yufeng was suddenly a little flustered, as if he had done something wrong, and he didn't even dare to look into Zhuang Hong's eyes.
After a while, he whispered, "I don't mean that. I know Ru Yun's behavior. She won't do such a thing. I'm just thinking, I'm just afraid... I..."
Looking at him like he was at a loss, Zhuang Hong was rarely soft hearted.
The confused man in front of him has been difficult to connect with the dandy who ran to Kyoto with Ling chunuan to rob him of marriage three years ago. Three years of training has made him grow up, but also worn away his edges and corners and his original arrogance.
"If you want to know something, you'd better not guess by yourself. If you don't know how to say and do, the best way is to tell the truth and ask directly."
Ling Yufeng was slightly stunned and looked at Zhuang Hong in surprise, "but in case..."
"In case of no accident, life is real, and no one can live in illusion. No matter what the truth is, you should accept it, even the worst one, rather than closing your eyes and listening, let alone making assumptions."
Zhuang Hong's words gradually calmed Ling Yufeng's turbulent heart. In the past six months, he never thought of countless solutions, but each time he dragged on on the grounds that things at home had not been solved.
If he hadn't overheard his mother's conversation with duanruyun today, he wouldn't have thought of these unpleasant things in such a day today.
At the beginning, duanruyun's sentence "your parents can't agree with us to get married, so I don't want to waste time on you" was enough to directly let him go home and show his cards. Seeing the bitterness and happiness come, how can it end like this?
He loves Duan Ruyun deeply, so he will never let go.
And the most afraid thing to encounter is heartlessness.
If three years is not enough, does she love herself as much as she loves her? What if she didn't love herself three years ago? What if she's just tired and wants to spend her life with an ordinary person?
He was afraid that it was not love with her.
It was late in the night, and the lights in the room were dim. A figure lying on his side turned his back towards the door.
Ling Yufeng carefully closed the door, but still disturbed the people on the bed.
Duanruyun got up from the bed, and a head of black silk scattered on his shoulder, dreamy, beautiful, with a trace of sleepiness in his eyes, he asked hoarsely,
"Come back, why is there no movement outside?"
"They all scattered, and they also went back to their own yard. It was a little cold outside."
Duanruyun pulled up the quilt beside her and said with concern,
"Go to bed, your nose is red with cold."
Ling Yufeng just sat by the bed and tucked him in by the horn again. "How did you wake up? Is it too noisy outside?"
Duanruyun pulled up some pillows behind him, padded them behind his back, shook his head, "no, just had a dream, scared me, so I woke up."
"What dream?"
"I dreamed..."
Duan Ruyun sucked her nose. When she got close, she could see that her eyes were flushed. It seemed that she had cried. Her voice was very small, like a mosquito,
"I dreamed of my adoptive father. In my dream, he didn't have a car accident and was still alive. I told him that I was going to get married."
Ling Yufeng's heart thumped, and he was silent for a long time before slowly asking for the exit,
"If your adoptive father is still alive, will you come home with me?"
This question is euphemistic, not as direct as Zhuang Hong said.
But he thought that according to duanruyun's ice snow intelligence, she wouldn't be unable to hear what he wanted to ask.
Duanruyun was silent for a long time before making a sound, which was very dull,
"If my adoptive father is still alive, I want to bring him."
Ling Yufeng was puzzled, but he heard a sigh in his ear. Looking back, he saw that duanruyun's small face was full of sadness, his eyebrows slightly frowned, and his eyes were dim,
"My adoptive father was lonely all his life,"
“……”
"I was abandoned at birth and couldn't love a person for more than ten years. Later, I finally overcome all difficulties together, but I can't live forever. I always quarreled for a few years together, and finally watched my lover die in my arms."
“……”
"My adoptive father hasn't experienced such a lively family atmosphere like here in his life. In fact, he is not happy. This unhappiness is brought by birth and can't be changed by anyone, so it will be until he dies."
Ling Yufeng didn't know much about duanruyun's adoptive father. When he was a child, he often heard a few words from his parents' uncles and aunts, but he didn't take them seriously. He only remembered that when Su Hong was still alive, he once came to Dashan villa to chat with his mother. He heard a sentence from Su Hong,
"Duan Fei has a stubborn temper and is willing to stop with me every day. As long as I don't reply to his text message for more than three minutes, I'll have a fight. I'm really bored to death by him."
At that time, Ling Yufeng was in his early teens and thought that the stubborn donkey in aunt Su Hong's mouth was his son, but he didn't see the so-called stubborn donkey until Duan Fei came to pick her up that night.
Nearly 1.87 meters tall, in his thirties, he is exceptionally handsome, his eyes are especially bright, and he smiles like a spring breeze. He looks very mature and steady, and he doesn't look like a vexatious person anyway.
"I used to think that I was the same person as him, worried about gain and loss. Because I was afraid of losing, I was extra cautious and even overly sensitive to everything I had. I thought I was in the same boat with him, but until he died, I found that I never really understood him."
Duanruyun's voice suddenly choked, "you know, when he left, he was smiling."
Some people seem unhappy in their whole life, but as long as there is another person, his happiness is there. He tightly binds his happiness in this life to another person, which is inseparable.
So the five years after Su Hong left was the beginning of his real unhappiness.
Ling Yufeng didn't expect to hear these stories. He even forgot what he was going to ask. He was distracted for a moment, and a piece of soft and warm fell on his shoulder. He was stunned. With a slight bow of his head, he smelled the sweet smell of jasmine on her.
What she wanted to ask is no longer important. What she just said seems to have answered herself.
You once thought that people in the same boat were in sympathy, so you thought that two people could warm each other, but you didn't expect that on the contrary, no one could warm him except the one who had left.
And a person who has something to do with his heart can't warm himself.
"Yu Feng, thank you." The breeze blew by my ears, like a whisper.
Thank you for your appearance, redeeming the unhappiness that I thought would last to the end of my life.
