Chapter 67: A Dispute on the Highway
At the beginning of lunch, everyone started respectfully at the dinner table, and the Shen family, which seemed to respect each other like guests and had a harmonious family, actually lacked the warmth and comfort of home, and the whole dining room was filled with a solemn atmosphere, giving people suffocating oppression, as if everyone was using the official language to communicate and talk with polite tones, and every word that came out of their mouths had to be carefully considered and repeatedly scrutinized. At a certain moment, it even gave people an unusual illusion, this was not at home, but in the company, in the discussion, and at the banquet, which made Cheng Siyu begin to understand why Shen Lingfeng's surface always looked like frost, it was because he had been soaked and grown up in a restrained living environment for a long time, and a solid gate separated from people was gradually formed in his heart, and he needed to redouble his efforts and care in order to find a key to open the door in the vague fog.
After a short meal experience, it was obvious that Ling Feng's younger brother Shen Lingxuan was very favored at home, belonging to a person with a sunny appearance and a well-behaved mouth, often making the second elder of the Shen family full of joy, and his wife Zheng Sijia felt enthusiastic and sensible, always able to say brilliant good words at critical moments, and can also resolve embarrassment and stalemate in a serious moment, and the worst relationship is Uncle Shen and Shen Lingfeng, whenever Uncle Shen makes a speech, Ling Feng rarely talks, and when Ling Feng speaks with a smile, Uncle Shen is either silent with a serious face most of the time, or suppresses disdain on the side, counting Ling Feng's various shortcomings, like criticizing a rotten wood that cannot be carved, and fighting against him everywhere and can't do anything. So more often than not, they don't care about each other and rarely talk, because the longer the contact, the greater the probability that the two fathers and sons will quarrel over different views and lifestyles.
But Cheng Siyu didn't think that Uncle Shen was as terrifying as Shen Lingfeng said, unreasonable, although he was domineering and domineering, at least he was a lover and worthy of friendship, and he reminded Shen Lingfeng several times to give Cheng Siyu vegetables in the middle, and his attitude towards her was also generous and polite. On the contrary, Mrs. Shen, who was always smiling and groaning on the side, made her scalp tremble and tremble, as long as she saw her smile and sharp eyes, she could not control a creepy feeling in her heart, which made her feel like she was on pins and needles and wanted to escape.
On the way out of the Shen family, Shen Lingfeng calmly held Cheng Siyu's hand with one hand, and while holding the steering wheel and observing the road ahead, he said complacently: "You see I didn't lie to you, I said a long time ago that as long as you are willing to admit your mistake in front of my mother, she will definitely forgive you with her gentle personality." β
Cheng Siyu didn't look at the scenery outside the window, ignoring Shen Lingfeng's words.
"Hey, what's the matter, you little girl, didn't you hear me?" Shen Lingfeng glanced at Cheng Siyu obliquely, and stroked her head mischievously, disturbing the hair on the top of her head, and fluttering scattered, suddenly like a housewife who had just gotten up in the morning.
She slapped her hair silently, pursed her mouth, looked at Shen Lingfeng with disgust, and said, "Do you think Aunt Shen really forgives me?"
"Isn't it?" he asked, furrowed, puzzled.
"Do you really don't understand or don't understand, don't you understand what she said just now, this is teaching me a lesson in another way, and you have to let me know the rules of the Shen family in advance so that I can obey as soon as possible, carve me from a piece of jade to a beautiful jade, and tame me from a wild horse to a good horse. Cheng Siyu replied sullenly, looking a little worried.
"Have you noticed that you have recently had an illness?" said Shen Lingfeng in a deep voice.
"What disease?" "Paranoia, victim paranoia!" "You!". She couldn't spit out a word, and a sullen breath just stuck in her lungs and couldn't reach her throat.
Shen Lingfeng closed his lips tightly and said with a serious expression: "My mother is obviously very good and tolerant to you, why do you always have to find fault with her." β
"Do you think I'm such a person, am I so vexatious in your heart?" Cheng Siyu opened his mouth slightly, surprised and dissatisfied.
"Honestly, there are times when I really think so. Shen Lingfeng said angrily.
"I guess you didn't hear your mother telling me not to deceive and worship the Buddha with flowers, right?" Cheng Siyu was also angry, but he still suppressed his anger and said aggrievedly.
"I heard it, but what's wrong with it, didn't my mother say casually, did she make trouble for you, she always praised you in front of me, but it was you who spoke ill of her behind her back. Shen Lingfeng said.
"I... Yes, it's all because I'm too small-bellied, overly sensitive, and a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain, but I love you, how could I deliberately go against Aunt Shen, I just fear her, I'm too afraid that she won't like me. Now you say that I am unreasonable, calculating, are you satisfied, I am so strange!" Cheng Siyu stopped arguing with him, sat in the co-pilot, looked out the window at the depressed trees formed by the howling north wind and hurriedly retreated.
After a moment of silence, the two of them made no noise, snubbing each other like anger, and even the noise outside the window could not hide the embarrassment in the car at the moment.
After a while, this time Shen Lingfeng lowered his head first, put aside the so-called big man's face, and took the initiative to soften his tone with Cheng Siyu and said: "You know I don't mean that, I told you a long time ago, the trouble is my dad, my dad is a very domineering and very unreasonable person, and my mom has a gentle personality, and often sandwiches between me and my dad to grind her heart, acting as a mediator between the two of us, but despite this, my mom has never had a word of complaint, and she is dedicated to this family, such a good woman, do you still suspect that she is unkind to you?" Siyu, put away your sensitivity and careful thinking, sometimes delicate thoughts can't help the development of things in the slightest. β
Hearing such words, Cheng Siyu, who had already begun to dissipate, felt uncomfortable again, wondering in his heart that at the beginning, didn't he say that he loved himself with tenderness and sentimentality, and pity his fragility and confusion and sadness, how could the former advantages now become superfluous shortcomings when they are spit out in his mouth, there was once a book that said that when a man does not love a woman, the advantages in his eyes in the past will gradually become fatal shortcomings, which makes her heart messy and sour, and she doesn't know where the courage burst out of a sentence that she knows that saying it will definitely cause endless quarrelsοΌβ I don't think Uncle Shen is arrogant and unreasonable as you said, it's just that he is strict and harsh, hoping that his son will become a Chan, and there is a reflex principle between people at many times, the reason why he doesn't have a good face for you is also because you haven't respected him, don't think about your own problems, and won't admit your mistakes, only know how to refute, I admit that you have your own minds and ideas, and your business is also impressive, but you are too self-conscious and paranoid, and it is easy to be cocooned if you are not careful, and you are smart and mistaken, Uncle Shen has life experience and experience in dealing with society than you, maybe there are really some truths that can be accepted and adopted, and you only care about shaking your face, vetoed, no respect for him at all, I think he is by no means displeasing to you, but there is a helpless love that hates iron and does not become steel. β
As soon as the words fell, she began to regret the words that came out of her mouth, and timidly observed Shen Lingfeng, watching his face turn from red to green, his eyebrows tightened into a thick and tight word, and his lips were tightly closed to prevent his emotions from getting out of control.
Cheng Siyu weakly stretched out his hands to touch Shen Lingfeng's arm, and made a gesture of peace. And this is obviously useless, Shen Lingfeng responded to her coldly: "Hate iron does not become steel, in your heart I am so useless?"
She anxiously explained: "No, I don't mean that, I mean that Uncle Shen is also for your good, but in a certain aspect of the concept and thought do not match you, and the elders are always more experienced than us, and the views on things may be more transparent than our young people, there are always some places worth learning from, I just mean this, I don't think you are bad, really, you are very good in my heart, it is my misuse of words." β
"Forget it, no matter how much you say, it may be a cover-up, and what you say without thinking about it may be the real idea. Shen Lingfeng didn't have any expression on his face, and said coldly.
"No, that's not my idea, it's that you're sensitive. Cheng Siyu kept explaining.
This made Shen Lingfeng feel impatient, and he lowered his voice to suppress the anger that was about to rush out of his mind at any time and said, "If you talk again, go back by yourself." β
Unexpectedly Cheng Siyu, she didn't expect such a sentence to burst out of his mouth, and directly broke through her last line of patience, and said indifferently: "Please stop." β
Shen Lingfeng turned his head to look at Cheng Siyu in a little surprise, and then continued to look ahead as if nothing had happened, and said, "Use your brain to think clearly before you speak." β
"I told you to stop!" her voice was obviously brightened, and she looked at Shen Lingfeng with anger and dissatisfaction and shouted quietly.
Shen Lingfeng immediately stepped on the brakes heavily, the car pressed a tire mark on the road due to inertia, making a squeaky sound, and the two of them couldn't stop leaning forward because of the inertia and speed, and their minds instantly had a feeling of spinning.
Cheng Siyu opened the car door and closed it gently. Shen Lingfeng sat in the car and exhaled, glared at Cheng Siyu angrily and said, "Are you sure you don't get in the car, you have to walk home with the wind by yourself, right?"
Cheng Siyu didn't speak, standing motionless on the ground. Seeing that she didn't respond and didn't have any intention of getting into the car, he sneered and said, "Very good!", then held the steering wheel tightly, slammed on the accelerator, and the car snorted away, disappearing into the billowing dust flying on the wilderness road.
After driving for a while, the uneasy mood filled Shen Lingfeng's heart again, all he thought about was Cheng Siyu's sad face, and he was even more afraid that in this sparsely populated highway, how dangerous it would be if there were a few lawbreakers plotting against Cheng Siyu, and the walk from here to Siyu's house would take an hour or two, is it too much to leave a girl in this kind of place, thinking about the guilt that filled his whole mind, he suddenly turned the steering wheel sharply, turned around and drove back quickly along the same road, and when he drove back to the original place, he found that Cheng Siyu was gone, and he saw her trace along the way, which made him anxious, Confused, continued to step on the accelerator and drove forward, driving for about five or six minutes, and finally sat on the big rock behind the low fence on the side of the road ahead, and saw the lonely figure of a woman sitting on the stone, Shen Lingfeng rolled down the window, stared at her immobile cheeks, expressionless, did not know her joy, did not feel her sorrow, saw that she was not overjoyed because of his return, surprised, made him very faceless, he tried to maintain his angry appearance, and said indifferently: "Get in the car." Cheng Siyu still didn't turn his head to look at the big trees with intertwined branches in the distance, didn't pay attention to him, didn't look at him, just twitched his nose, looked like he was sobbing, and it didn't seem to be, which completely angered him, he slapped the steering wheel hard, and there was a horn sound of "porphyry" in the car, but Cheng Siyu still ignored it and didn't move.
Shen Lingfeng stroked the hair on his forehead anxiously, said angrily: "Okay!" and then stepped on the steering wheel deeply and drove away.
It's just that this time he drove away for less than half a minute, and he immediately regretted it, and scolded himself fiercely in his heart, how could he not control his temper, he was seeking peace, how important is his face, Siyu is a girl, he is a man, he should let her more, why shout loudly in front of her, this attitude can not change the steps of no one. So she hung up the back gear, kept pulling back and drove back to the same place, thankfully, she didn't go far and still sat in that place. This time, he rolled down the window, calmed down and said with a soothing attitude: "Don't be angry, get in the car, you don't want to be blown into snow by the wind." β
Only then did he find out that Cheng Siyu lowered his cheeks and was full of two lines of clear tears, his face was red because of sobbing, and the two lines of tears fell on her soft light purple skirt one by one like pearls, which made him feel remorseful, and his heart was like a pain in the cotton don't rub tightly, he immediately turned off the engine and pulled out the car key, walked out of the car door, walked over the fence to Cheng Siyu and squatted down, gently wiped her tears with his hands and said: " Don't cry, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have left you, but I'm not back now, I won't leave you alone. β
Hearing this, Cheng Siyu hugged him violently and cried and said: "I really think you are very good, just now I expressed it wrong, you believe me, it is my insincerity, you are very good in my eyes." β
"I believe in you, I really believe in you. Shen Lingfeng gently patted her on the back and comforted her.
She gently pushed his shoulder, stared into his eyes and cried: "You know, when you drove the car away just now, I was really scared, I was afraid that you would really leave me, I was afraid that we would really separate, my heart was very messy, I couldn't speak, I really love you, I love you very much, I love you more than myself." β
"I believe in you and I love you. Shen Lingfeng was moved to hold Cheng Siyu tightly in his arms and gently stroked her hair.
After about an hour, he returned to Cheng Siyu's door, and before getting out of the car, Cheng Siyu looked at Shen Lingfeng, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said: "I will definitely listen to my aunt's teachings more in the future, and we will not quarrel about this kind of thing in the future." β
"Hmm. Shen Lingfeng smiled softly, patted her head dotingly and said, "Don't think so much, I'll talk to you on the phone at night." β
Cheng Siyu smiled sweetly, and after getting out of the car, she watched Shen Lingfeng's car drive away a little lonely, and there was an indescribable melancholy and loneliness in her heart, she thought, she had no sense of security. She thought, she couldn't afford to lose him.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Cheng Siyu had been sitting at the head of the bed with a mobile phone waiting for Shen Lingfeng's call, and after another hour, the mobile phone still did not ring, and then looked at the phone on the bedside table, there was no sound, so gradually, between the minute and second hands dripping and clicking, in the silent passage of time, in the hazy soft light, she fell asleep.
Until the sound of the mobile phone rang, she woke up suddenly, picked up the phone in surprise, and the screen showed not Shen Lingfeng's call, but a message from him, which read: "I'm too tired today, I'll sleep first." Looking for you another day, good night. β
When I saw the information on my mobile phone, I was disappointed, and immediately typed on the reply: "Are you still angry?" After thinking about it a few times, I felt that it was inappropriate, so I deleted it all and replied: "Okay, I want to rest a little better, I love you." In less than a minute, Shen Lingfeng's reply came from the mobile phone: "Love you." β
Looking at this heart-warming and quick reply, Cheng Siyu smiled, but soon his face turned to show a trace of melancholy and a trace of loneliness, which was very compatible with the moonlight tonight.
