Chapter 6 If this is a dream, meeting you is a good dream of mine 1
I stood there at a loss, not knowing what to say or what expression to make.
It’s really been too long... It’s been too long since I last saw my father. It’s been so long that I’ve been looking forward to seeing him, so long that I thought I would never see him again in this life.
Now, he suddenly appeared in my living room without a word, and I actually felt that the person in front of me was so strange that I was a little scared.
Is he...really the father I've been waiting for for so long in my memory? In my memory, he shouldn't be such a serious and cold person, and he never wears a suit and leather shoes like this. He always takes me to the park to play with a smile...
"Hana, come and sit down." Finally, my mother broke the weird atmosphere in the living room with an embarrassed look on her face. She smiled and tried to smooth things over. She stood up and pulled me to sit on , right across from the man. "Come and talk, Hana. Dad came to see you this time specially."
Come...to see me?
Does he still remember that he has a daughter like me?
I raised my head and looked at him in a daze, this strange, overly calm man. It has been ten years since I last saw him, ever since he left without saying goodbye . But he looked at me calmly, as if he was looking at an insignificant passerby.
And I sat on the sofa stupidly, like a wooden man who couldn't speak or move, with my mind blank.
The father in my memory seemed to be the most gentle person in the world, as if he wanted to give all the warmth in the world to me, until I was seven years old, when he suddenly left me and my mother, and left home without any regrets... But I never hated him, I just couldn't understand why my father left us, and I was eagerly looking forward to the day when my father would come back... I waited and waited... For a full ten years, when I finally gave up this idea - at this moment, he suddenly appeared in my and my mother's home, as if he had become a different person, serious and indifferent... "Hana has grown taller."
The moment he opened his mouth, an idea suddenly occurred to me.
I hope he won’t appear in front of my mom and me, ever!
After a while, seeing that I didn't say anything, my mother looked at the man awkwardly, then looked at me distressedly, and finally set her sights on him: "Luo Cheng, Hua Yin has been a little shy these years, please don't mind."
"Shy? What are you talking about?" The man raised his eyelids confidently and said in a steady and powerful voice, "I am her father. How do you educate your child?"
I frowned.
Who is this stranger? Why does he speak to my mother like this? He abandoned my mother and me ten years ago. How dare he sit here and tell my mother what to do?
My mother had an embarrassed . She looked at me, full of apology, but ultimately said nothing.
I understand... My mother loves this cruel man too much. From childhood to adulthood, I don’t know how many times I have seen my mother hiding in the room and crying while looking at their old photos.
After a while, the man gave my mother a lukewarm look.
"Tell Kanon what I just told you."
Hearing this, my mother was stunned for a moment and her expression became a little flustered.
He continued to urge: "Go ahead, I think Hanane has grown up, she has the right to make her own choice."
My mother bit her lower lip, and I felt a layer of mist in her eyes.
Finally, after hesitating, she spoke with a forced smile on her face: "Hana... Dad came back this time to discuss something with us. He has agreed with his wife abroad that he will take you to study abroad, send you to a good school, and let you receive a good education... You will live with Dad abroad in the future..."
I stared at the man sitting opposite me with my eyes wide open in disbelief.
"Hey, Luo Huayin, don't be impulsive..."
Ye Jing, who had been watching the three of us quietly from the side, suddenly called me softly from behind.
I swallowed back the question that almost came out of my mouth.
This guy really impressed me... What was he thinking? He actually wanted to take me away from my mother?
At Ye Jing's reminder, I took a deep breath and stood up from the sofa.
Then, I looked at my mother and said, "Mom, I'm tired today and feel a little uncomfortable. I'm going to bed first." After that, I looked at him again and pointed at the door expressionlessly, "It's getting late. It's not appropriate for you to stay in my house for a long time. The neighbors will gossip if they see you. If you have nothing else, please go ahead."
As soon as he said that, I didn't even look at his expression and immediately rushed back to my room and closed the door as if escaping - I felt suffocated if I stayed with him for even one more second.
What a mess...
The whole day today, I just saw "that Ye Jing" lying in the hospital . When I got home, I didn't have time to catch my breath and calm down, and I actually saw this man... This day was really tiring.
