The woman touched Wen Shaoye's head and pulled him to sit on the sofa in the living room.
I took a glance, turned and walked towards my room, no longer having any interest in what the woman behind me was whispering with her son.
I have always believed in that saying, don't listen to what you shouldn't listen to, don't look at what you shouldn't look at, only in this way, you won't make your world more chaotic. Everyone comes to this world, and there are already a lot of things to bear. It's already difficult to be happy, so why do you ask for trouble?
During this period, many things were mixed up, making me upset. I no longer had any interest in what that woman said about me to her son behind my back. She just told Wen Shaoye to stay away from me, not to get involved with me, and to avoid me in the future. I didn't even need to listen to her, I knew what she would say - she did some disgusting things, so of course the words she said were unbearable to hear.
I closed the door and threw myself on the bed. I was very tired from walking for a long time, and soon started dating Zhou Gong. Anyway, no one cared where I slept every day, and even if I didn't go home, no one would call me...
In the following days, my life was still the same. I got up every morning and went to school. During class, I chatted with Yao Yizhou about the violin he was good at, or some trivial things in the class. At noon, I had lunch with Shen Xiaoyu. In the afternoon, I went to see Ji Chuan and watched him practice Taekwondo . My life was plain, but there was a sense of happiness. The only flaw was that every afternoon after the last class, the person who claimed to be my mother would call me with the number she had contacted me before, but I never answered. To be honest, I didn't regret it at all.
Soon it was the weekend again. The homework assigned by the teacher was a bit difficult, so I discussed it with Yao Yizhou in the classroom. I don’t know what’s wrong with the cultural teacher recently. The homework questions are increasingly challenging our cognitive abilities and becoming more and more strange. This time the homework was a moon-shaped pattern, and we were asked to express ourselves freely and write an essay.
Yao Yizhou and I discussed this for a long time and planned to write this paper from different perspectives.
In the last assignment, this kid actually got first place. I really can't accept such a result. God is really too blind. After all, I stayed up all night to finish the manuscript, but he ranked second from the bottom. Is there any justice in the world?
Yao Yizhou plans to write from the perspective of ancient Chinese mythology, mainly describing the story of Chang'e flying to the moon, and the discussion will be based on Chang'e flying to the moon. I think Yao Yizhou's perspective on the issue is very unique, so I plan to write about Hou Yi taking a spacecraft to the moon to find Chang'e, and then raise this issue to a philosophical perspective for a discussion.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I told Yao Yizhou my idea, he looked speechless.
Not really? My paper was very sincere and helped Chang'e analyze the possible problems she might encounter.
Yao Yizhou and I have exactly opposite perspectives on the issue, but after I beat him up, he had no choice but to compromise and stand on the same front with me.
It was already past seven in the evening when I finished the paper, which happened to be the time when the traffic was the most congested in the city. I couldn't miss this time, so I picked up my small bag and ran to catch the bus like a flash.
Regarding my special hobby, Yao Yizhou sent me a text message. It was very concise and clear, with just three simple words - "I despise you"!
I don't care what others think of me. I just have time, I am willful, and I just like to waste time on the bus when there is a traffic jam. Who cares about me? I just want to waste my time like this! Anyway, when I go home and see other families eating, drinking and having fun together, I will probably feel uncomfortable. It is better to stay away from them.
I calculated everything very well, and it was already past nine when I got home. In the past, after nine o'clock, the whole family would be watching TV in the living room, and I would just pretend I didn't see anything after opening the door, and go into my room to sleep. But today, it was a little strange, when I opened the door, the house was actually very quiet, there was not even the sound of the TV, only the sound of the clock, it was so quiet that it was a little weird, and I felt that if someone threw a needle on the ground, I would be able to hear it.
Something seems wrong...
I gritted my teeth, changed into slippers, and walked a few steps inside, only to see my father sitting upright on the sofa. Looking at his stern expression, I felt that he must be waiting for me.
Sure enough, when my father saw me walk in, his anger intensified: "Wen Ya, why didn't you come home to live before? What's going on?"
I rolled my eyes and retorted impatiently, "What does where I live have to do with you?"
My father was so overwhelmed by my words that he didn't know what to say, so he slammed the coffee table, knocking over the cups on it, which scared me. But after the shock, I didn't care at all - he either beat or scolded me all day long, and he would scold me no matter what I did.
"What are you talking about? Have you grown up now? Do you still consider me your father? Do you think I have no right to ask you where you go now?" My father seemed to be very angry and his voice was a little hoarse.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in my eyes: "So annoying!"
What I said was exactly what I thought!
When I wasn't home, no one asked me where I lived. It's been a week and they now ask me these questions. It's so annoying!
My father was so angry that he stood up from the sofa and pretended to hit me. Seeing this, I took a few steps forward, walked to my father, pointed at my face, and shouted loudly: "Hit me! If you can hit me today, I dare to hit you back on Wen Shaoye, do you believe it?"
My father hesitated for a long time, and then he put down his hand. I guess he was afraid that I would beat his baby son secretly when he was not paying attention. After all, I was not without a criminal record. Although it was an unintentional mistake, I still hit his baby son. Although so many years have passed, I think that with his super memory, he will never forget it.
In the confrontation with my father, I won a temporary victory. This was not the process I wanted, nor the result I wanted, but it really happened.
I turned around slowly and went back to my bedroom.
At night, I tossed and turned, and I barely felt sleepy until I counted from one duck to ten thousand ducks. However, when I counted to the 10,010th duck, I forgot where I was and instantly lost all my sleepiness. So, I could only hold Ji Chuan's photo and keep thinking about Ji Chuan's smirking face in my mind, and only then did I feel a little sleepy and barely fell asleep in the second half of the night.
The next day, after a whole day of boring classes, I was in a very depressed mood, so I ran to the Taekwondo practice room to find Ji Chuan. What I didn't expect was that when I walked to the door of the Taekwondo practice room, I actually saw Ji Chuan and the woman talking together again.
The two of them were very close to each other, and there was a gleam in Ji Chuan's eyes when he looked at the girl that was inexplicably familiar to me. This gleam was something I could only see in the past when he looked at me.
Things didn't seem as simple as Ji Chuan said, and the truth didn't seem as simple as I imagined. My heart suddenly became flustered. So, I couldn't help but stop and stand at the door of the practice room, watching Ji Chuan talking to the girl.
Although I didn't hear clearly what Ji Chuan said to that girl, it couldn't stop my increasingly panicked heartbeat and increasingly rapid breathing. Suddenly, I remembered the paper that Yao Yizhou and I wrote together in the classroom yesterday afternoon, and the conflicting opinions between Yao Yizhou and me. My mind suddenly became a mess, and I couldn't figure it out. Was it because Ji Chuan and I had been together for too long, and our love had turned into family affection, or was he making a mistake that all men in the world might make?
Just when my mind was in a mess, Ji Chuan seemed to have noticed me. He waved to the girl and asked her to leave. Although the girl was very reluctant, she glanced at me, pouted and walked away.
Then, Ji Chuan came towards me, showing a bright smile that I was very familiar with. When he came to my side, he said to me affectionately: "Why are you standing there, little fool?"
For a long while, I didn't say a word, just stood there, quietly watching his smile, trying to find a clue from his smile that he intended to cheat. When I looked for a long time and didn't find anything unusual, my uneasy heart calmed down, and the strange panic heartbeat and strange suspicion just now seemed to be blown away by the wind coming through the window and disappeared without a trace.
The person standing in front of me is still the Ji Chuan whom I love and who loves me...
Seeing that I was a little strange, Ji Chuan took the initiative to explain what happened just now: "Xiao Ya, don't get me wrong, that girl just now was just discussing club affairs with me. Recently, there are many new people in the Taekwondo Club, and everyone is too busy. She and I were just communicating about work. It's nothing, don't worry!"
Although Ji Chuan had explained, my heart still beat violently. Ji Chuan touched my head and whispered in my ear: "Okay, Xiaoya, don't let your imagination run wild. You are my girlfriend, you have to believe me. We have been together for several years, and you are the best person in the world to me. If I don't cherish such a good girlfriend like you, God will definitely punish me."
Hearing Ji Chuan say this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Afraid that he would lose control and say something he shouldn't, I quickly covered his mouth and said coquettishly: "Okay, now it's time to swear... Don't make those messed up oaths, good ones don't work, bad ones do, I believe you!"
Ji Chuan laughed happily, heartlessly, like a child. Seeing his smile, I seemed to be infected and smiled foolishly with him.
"Xiao Ya, what do you want to eat today? I won't deal with club matters today. How about I go out to dinner with you?" Ji Chuan said while touching my ear affectionately.
I pulled his hands off his ears, laughing and jumping with joy: "This time, let's go to the newly opened Xilaishun near the school. I don't even know what delicious food there is. How about it?"
"Okay, let's listen to Xiaodaigua. We'll go wherever Xiaodaigua says to go." Ji Chuan said, and then pulled me out of the practice room.
We walked hand in hand on the campus without any hesitation. At that moment, I felt extremely happy.
We soon arrived at the newly opened Xilaishun restaurant near the school. It was just dinner time and there were a lot of people. Ji Chuan and I stood at the door and waited for about ten minutes before we got a table.
Ji Chuan ordered the boiled fish that we all liked. He wanted to order something else, but I stopped him. If we ordered too much, we wouldn't be able to finish it. Let's order less. After all, we're going to get married in the future, and it's time to save money.
"Ji Chuan, when I was having dinner with Shen Xiaoyu yesterday, I saw a man taking a rice bowl as big as Shen Xiaoyu's washbasin to get rice..."
I was talking to Ji Chuan about the interesting things that happened when I was having dinner with Shen Xiaoyu yesterday. Just when I was halfway through, Ji Chuan's phone rang. When he answered the phone, his expression was serious and he just listened to the person on the other end of the phone. After a long while, he said, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll be there soon."
When I heard Ji Chuan say this, my heart sank and the smile on my face froze in an instant.
"Sorry, Xiaoya, I have some urgent matters to deal with and have to go back to school. You can eat first." After saying this, Ji Chuan turned and left, with the phone still to his ear. He didn't know who was talking to him on the other end of the phone.
I didn’t have the courage to snatch his phone and hang up, so I could only sit in the chair helplessly and watch him gradually move away from me.
The boiled fish ordered by Ji Chuan arrived.
I suddenly felt bitter in my heart and lost my appetite.
I don’t know if Ji Chuan still remembers the story between us about boiled fish.
That year was my senior year in high school, and the college entrance exam was coming up. Under the pressure of teachers and parents, we were all busy reviewing our lessons, and we didn’t eat very well every day, either radishes or cabbages. In fact, the other students ate well, except for Ji Chuan and me. There was no one at home all day, so how could anyone take care of him? As for me, because I had a disagreement with my father, my family didn’t care about me much, and I hadn’t been home for a long time, so no one had transferred money to my card. Neither of us asked our families for money, so we could only make do with vegetables and radishes every day and barely eat a little.
When Ji Chuan and I were almost out of money, Ji Chuan took half a day off without telling me, took a job distributing flyers outside the school, and used the 40 yuan he earned to buy a boiled fish that I had been craving for a long time.
I remember that when Ji Chuan put the steaming boiled fish in front of me, I actually shed tears without any backbone. Maybe now it seems that I can order a bowl of boiled fish at any time as long as I want to eat it, but at that special time, the touch and happiness that the bowl of boiled fish brought me was irreplaceable by anything.
Ji Chuan also carefully helped me remove the fish bones from the boiled fish, put the delicious boneless fish meat into my bowl, and whispered in my ear: "Xiao Ya, I will never let you eat alone again, and I will never let you be alone."
Promises are always beautiful, and many girls tend to indulge in the beautiful promises of boys. In fact, this is also a kind of self-deception. Perhaps happiness is kind of self-perception. If you feel happy, you are happy. If you build a wall in your heart, you will not be able to feel happiness.
Many girls are desperately chasing after what they want. Some are chasing after love, some are chasing after houses, some are chasing after cars, some are just after an iPhone, some are just after an LV bag. When they have what they want, the unprecedented sense of satisfaction will make them feel unprecedentedly happy. Some people think that what they are chasing is worth it, while others think that what they are chasing is not worth it, and they turn around and throw away what they have finally gotten...
When I thought of this, I suddenly felt a little panic. Since when did the love between Ji Chuan and I become a burden that he chose to ignore, forget, or abandon? I couldn't even tell whether he was happier when he was with me or forced to smile more.
Am I really happy now?
Perhaps, I was happy before, but now, Ji Chuan, who once said that he would not leave me alone for dinner, has broken his promise.
It turns out that something has quietly changed between him and me. The happiness I want may already be a long way away from me, and is moving further and further away in the opposite direction.
The boiled fish smelled good and had a beautiful color, it was really delicious. But I couldn't eat a single bite, I just sat there blankly until the boiled fish turned from boiling hot to ice cold, then I put the money on the table, slowly got up and left the restaurant.
That night, Ji Chuan didn't call me after he was done with his work, nor did he send me a text message, and I didn't take the initiative to contact him. In the following days, he seemed to have disappeared and didn't take the initiative to contact me. And I just held back and didn't call him.
That day, Shen Xiaoyu asked me to go to the library, and I agreed without thinking.
In the library, when Xiaoyu asked me how Jichuan and I were doing recently, I couldn't say a word for a long time. Xiaoyu didn't say anything, but patted my shoulder to comfort me.
The library is very quiet and many students are reading seriously.
Xiaoyu flipped through the book in her hand, looking very worried. I saw that she was not in a good mood, so I asked her with concern: "What's wrong? Xiaoyu, you seem absent-minded..."
Xiaoyu bit her lip and after a long while, as if she had made a great decision, she whispered in my ear: "Xiaoya, do you remember the party you arranged some time ago to bring Yao Yizhou and me together?"
I frowned, not quite understanding why Xiaoyu brought up this matter at this time, but it also piqued my interest. Could it be that she and Yao Yizhou suddenly made some progress? Thinking of this, I asked, "How did you talk with Yao Yizhou that day?"
"Actually, we didn't do anything that day. He drank his wine and I drank my drink. Apart from pouring me the drink a few times, he didn't say anything and did nothing." Xiaoyu's face was filled with loss.
After listening to her, I didn't know whether I should blame her, so I kept silent. But given Ji Chuan and I's current situation, we can hardly protect ourselves, so how can we have the face to blame others?
I picked up my phone, opened the address book, found Yao Yizhou's number, put the phone in Xiaoyu's hand, and said seriously: "Xiaoyu, do you want me to help you vent your anger? Just say a word and I'll call him and teach Yao Yizhou a lesson. This kid is too unreasonable. After all, we have been classmates for so many years. Even if we can't develop in love, at least we have the friendship of classmates. How can he be so cold-blooded? Tell me, do you want me to call him now? Fighting or drinking, as long as it makes you happy, I'll accompany you."
Xiaoyu handed the phone back to me, smiled and shook her head, then sighed, shook my hand, and said firmly: "It's really okay, Xiaoya, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Don't make things difficult for him, really, he has such a good relationship with you, don't let me ruin the relationship between you two for so many years, it's not appropriate."
I held Xiaoyu's hand with my backhand and sneered at her words: "Xiaoyu, you are being estranged! After so many years, our relationship is extraordinary! Can the relationship between Yao Yizhou and I be compared with ours? Yao Yizhou is my brother, and you are my sister. I can live without a brother, but I can't live without a sister."
Xiaoyu smiled and patted my shoulder: "Okay! Did you come here today to express your feelings to me? Let's not talk about me and Yao Yizhou, and hurry up and read. You have to start preparing for the final paper from now on, otherwise you will have to stay up late again. Let me make it clear first, I will not accompany you then."
Just then, I saw Yao Yizhou walking into the library with his bag on his back.
The place where Xiaoyu and I were sitting was very conspicuous. He saw us, waved at us, and walked over quickly.
"Xiao Yu, Yao Yizhou is here!" I whispered in Xiao Yu's ear and waved to Yao Yizhou.
Yao Yizhou's appearance made the originally quiet library lively. The girls who were reading books started to talk to each other, and some even picked up their phones to make calls. I didn't need to think that those who made calls must have spread the news that Yao Yizhou appeared in the library.
I have long been accustomed to the fact that Yao Yizhou is the center of attention wherever he goes . When I first met Yao Yizhou, he was particularly popular with girls. The girls treated him like a celebrity. No matter what he did, he could make the girls scream.
I actually doubt whether Yao Yizhou is really that handsome. But it is true that his skin is better than mine. Once, I studied the pores on Yao Yizhou's face closely. They were so fine that sometimes I even wondered if he applied a facial mask every night...
"What a surprise, Wen Ya, this is the first time I see you in the library." Yao Yizhou sat down in the seat next to me with a look of surprise.
When I heard him say this, I couldn't help but bump his arm with my elbow and said in a deep voice, "What are you talking about? What do you mean you saw me in the library for the first time? The library is not owned by your family. Why can you come but I can't? Are you being reasonable?"
Yao Yizhou laughed: "Okay, I didn't say anything bad about you, why do you have so much to say?"
Xiaoyu saw Yao Yizhou and I teasing each other next to her, and she didn't know where to put her hands. I saw how nervous she was, so I put my arm around her shoulders and turned to Yao Yizhou and said, "Yizhou, do you not consider Xiaoyu as a friend? We are classmates and have known each other for so many years, why are you so cold to Xiaoyu?"
Yao Yizhou glanced at Xiaoyu and continued to say with a smile: "How is that possible! It's just that Xiaoyu doesn't want to pay attention to me..."
I saw Xiaoyu pursing her lips and laughing secretly, and I immediately felt relieved. I picked up the books on the table and the bag behind me, pretending to be anxious and said, "Come on, since you are here , please help me take care of Xiaoyu. I have something to take care of."
"Xiaoya, what's the matter? " Xiaoyu seemed to know my intention and her face turned as red as an apple.
"Ji Chuan just sent me a text message, asking me to go find him. You guys just stay here and read your books. I'll come back to see you later." After I said that, I waved to them and ran out of the library quickly.
After coming out of the library, I wandered around the campus and walked to the Taekwondo practice room. I lingered at the door for a long time, hesitating whether to go in or not, and finally turned around and left.
Neither Xiaoyu nor Yao Yizhou contacted me, so I didn’t go back to the library. I just hoped that they could make some progress.
In the next few days, Ji Chuan still didn't contact me, which made me feel very bad.
Compared to me, Xiaoyu was in a much better mood. He was laughing secretly to himself all day long. I really didn't know what they did or said that day.
The days passed one by one, and my life did not change at all. I still lived in waiting day by day. Ji Chuan seemed to have evaporated from the world, and I did not take the initiative to look for him. We just kept competing like this.
In fact, I don’t know whether Ji Chuan is really busy or has completely forgotten about me, his girlfriend, and I don’t want to be the first person to speak, after all, I wasn’t the one who did something wrong.
I was waiting for Ji Chuan's apology, but he seemed to know nothing about it.
After class, I was absent-mindedly walking on the way home when a gray Bugatti suddenly stopped by the road. Seeing this gray Bugatti, the unpleasant memories of the past period of time came back to my mind. I turned around and walked away quickly, holding my phone in one hand and my bag in the other.
"Xiaoya, Mom is going abroad soon, and you won't be able to see you even if you want to!" The person who claimed to be my mother said loudly behind me.
When I heard her say that she was going abroad, I was completely confused and didn't know what to do.
After hesitating for a long time, I turned around.
I don't know my mother's name, let alone how to address her. The word "Mom" is unfamiliar to me. As far as I can remember, these two words have become particularly awkward. Now that we are face to face, these two words seem to be stuck in my throat and I can't say them no matter what.
"Let's go to a cafe." There was a cafe on the street, so I turned and walked there.
My mother locked the car and followed me.
There were few people in the cafe and soothing light music was playing. Perhaps many people could relax in such a place, but it didn't work for me.
After ordering the food, the mother said anxiously, "Xiaoya, you have to understand me. I left you for a reason. I have missed you so much over the years, but because of work, I never had time to come back to see you. I hope you can forgive me."
I just looked at her without saying a word.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, my mother continued to explain to me: "Xiaoya, you are grown up now, and I won't hide it from you... In fact, my marriage with your father was a mistake. You are grown up now and you are old enough to fall in love... If you don't like a boy and marry him, but after marriage, you find that you have found someone you really like, how can you not pursue your own happiness?"
I sneered and still said nothing.
The mother seemed to realize that she had said too much and was a little embarrassed, but her expression soon relaxed: "Xiaoya, have you been doing well these years?"
This selfish woman hadn't seen me for more than ten years, and now when she saw me, she was only concerned with making excuses for her own mistakes... She said so much, but I couldn't hear a word she said. I just felt extremely ironic in my heart.
The coffee came, but I didn't even touch it. I snorted coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in my eyes: "Aren't you refusing to return to China? The smog here is so heavy, aren't you afraid that you will become a mummy after breathing a few times?" I said, turning my head to look at the Bugatti outside the window, and then said, "Do you think you are rich just because you drive a Bugatti? Do you think that if you drive a Bugatti, I will think you are rich and go with you? I'm telling you now, it's absolutely impossible, don't even think about it!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw her face turned pale in an instant, and tears were glistening in her eyes.
She is a good actor. I didn't say anything before tears came. I stood up and knocked over the coffee cup on the table. The coffee spilled on the table and flowed down the tabletop.
"No, Xiaoya, it's not like that! Listen to what mom said. I came back to find you because I missed you! If you want, I can take you to America with me and give you whatever you want."
Take me to America? That's ridiculous! Her sudden return to China was suspicious. I don't know if it was because she couldn't get pregnant that she suddenly remembered my existence.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Is it because you can't have children that you think of me, your daughter?"
But I didn't expect that my suspicion would result in her pale face and speechlessness. I looked at her face and suddenly understood. I couldn't believe it was true. For a moment, I felt that this world was really absurd and ridiculous.
"You are so unreasonable!" I yelled angrily and rushed out of the cafe.
I walked down the street with my fists clenched tightly.
This woman who once abandoned me without hesitation and lived a good life of her own, came back again just as I guessed, just because she couldn't have children... I don't care about such a mother at all, and I don't want to see her again!
I took out my cell phone and dialed Ji Chuan's number - at this moment, I suddenly missed Ji Chuan very much. However, Ji Chuan's number was always busy.
I put away my phone and walked aimlessly.
Time passed by minute by minute, and I didn't know how far I had walked. I just didn't feel any pain in my feet. My whole body seemed numb, and there was no expression on my face.
Unconsciously, I walked to the riverside, and a cold wind blew past, which gradually calmed my turbulent thoughts. I sat by the river, hugged my knees and looked at the wide river surface, and couldn't help but start to think about the days when my mother abandoned me and left home.
At that time, I was four years old and didn't understand anything, nor did I know why my mother suddenly didn't come home. I suffered day by day, while the woman who abandoned me was living happily with another man on the other side of the ocean. She might even be secretly happy about abandoning me, a burden, or even forget that there was such a person as me on the earth as soon as she left China.
What an irony! When I needed her, she was with someone else, and now that she thinks of me again, I no longer need her... Thinking of this, I feel very sad, not knowing whether it is for myself or for the woman who abandoned me.
I am very conflicted and don't know what to do.
My heart is in turmoil.
Gusts of wind blew, and ripples appeared on the river surface. I picked up a handful of stones and threw them into the water. The ripples caused by the stones spread out in circles, and many ripples collided with each other, forming splashes of water.
I didn't care to look at the splashes, I took out my phone from my pocket and continued to dial Ji Chuan's number. However, I called several times, but his phone was still not connected.
Maybe I'm busy... This is the only way I can comfort myself.
That day, I sat by the river until very late before going home. On the way home, I always felt like there was someone following me. When I walked, he walked too. When I stopped, he stopped too. Although I was walking on a main road with many people coming and going, I was still scared.
When I got home, my father, the woman, and their son, a family of three, were sitting happily at the dining table eating. As soon as I opened the door, the laughter in the room stopped abruptly.
In response, I just snorted coldly, didn't care, changed my shoes and walked towards my room.
"Xiaoya, wash your hands and come over for dinner." The woman's face was filled with smiles. She waved at me, motioning me to come over.
I turned my head and took a glance, and saw that the food on the table was almost gone, and a hint of sarcasm flashed across my lips.
Seeing that I completely ignored the woman's kindness, my father put down his chopsticks and shouted, "Xiaoya, your mother is talking to you, do you hear me? Come and eat!"
I was going to ignore my father's harsh words, but when I saw the woman's smiling face, I felt uncomfortable. After thinking for a few seconds, I threw my schoolbag on the sofa in the living room and turned to the dining table.
Although the dishes on the table were almost gone, you could still tell what they were: braised fish, braised pork, dry-pot tea tree mushrooms, broccoli with garlic sprouts, and West Lake beef soup. The meal for this family of three looked quite sumptuous.
I sat down at the table, with no intention of serving myself any food.
My father looked at me for a while, his brows were so furrowed that he could almost hold a pair of chopsticks.
I stared at the woman for a while, then turned to my father and said, "Today I saw the woman who gave birth to me!"
My father was obviously stunned for a moment, his expression becoming increasingly grim: "And then?"
The woman glanced at me secretly and continued to eat the food in her bowl, as if she didn't care about the topic I was talking about. But I knew from the way she was eating that she must be wondering what I had said to the woman who gave birth to me.
Who am I, Wen Ya? How could I possibly make this woman happy? I feel bad when she's happy, and I feel better only when she's bad!
"The woman who gave birth to me said she wanted to remarry you!" After I said this lie to them, I left the dinner table.
Wen Shaoye is not a child either, and he understood what I said. But he seemed a little afraid of me. He didn't dare to say a word to me, but just looked at me with timid eyes.
I pinched Wen Shaoye's face, sneered and said slowly: "How do you feel? Wen Shaoye, you will soon become a child without a father!"
"Wen Ya, shut up!" My father finally couldn't stand my nonsense anymore and slammed the table hard, knocking over several bowls on the table. Rice grains were scattered on the dishes and the tabletop, and chopsticks were rolling on the table, making the table a mess.
I looked at the messy dinner table and chuckled, "I can say whatever I want to say, whatever I want to say, what's it to you?"
Obviously, my backtalk made my father very angry. He couldn't help but stand up and raise his hand high, as if he was going to slap me.
But to my surprise, his hand stopped abruptly in mid-air.
Seeing this, I snorted coldly and said coldly: "You want to hit me? Why don't you hit me? Anyway, it's the same as if I don't have parents."
When the woman saw that my father and I had started fighting again, she pulled Wen Shaoye towards the bedroom.
I saw the woman and Wen Shaoye leaving, couldn't help laughing, and turned around and went back to my room.
