Chapter 193: Background
Wu Tong slept very peacefully, and when he woke up, he vaguely remembered that he had had a beautiful dream, his face was still full of happiness in his sleep, and the exhaustion of his heart was also swept away.
In the dream, his life has changed, and the family not only has a happy little son, but also has a brother who loves him very much.
The sky outside the window had already darkened, Wu Tong yawned, sat up, and the towel on (shēn) was slid down, and he hurriedly bent down and grabbed it to prevent it from falling to the ground. Looking at the quilt in his hand, Wu Tong's heart was suddenly stuffed with an unknown thing, and it instantly warmed up.
Because of the long rest, Wu Tong felt a little groggy in his head, rubbed the sun (xué), cleaned up (chuáng), and walked out.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw that Ling Feng's family of three was busy in the kitchen and dining room. The picture in front of me does not overlap with the scene in the dream, and for a moment the eye sockets become moist.
Ling Feng heard the door of the bedroom ring, glanced back and teased: "Are you still waking up in time......?"
As he spoke, Ling Feng saw that Wu Tong's eyes were a little red and swollen, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, "Don't, I'm just joking with you, don't cry!"
Wu Tong wiped his eyes and glared at Ling Feng fiercely, "I didn't cry, I just had a little discomfort in my eyes." ”
After Ling's mother noticed it, she slapped Ling Feng to vent her anger for Wu Tong, "Did you talk to the guest like this?" Wu Tong don't mind, he has been like this since he was a child, come on, come on, wash your hands and eat." ”
Father Ling also made a gesture and said, "That's it, you don't pay attention to him." Go wash your hands and get ready to eat. ”
Wu Tong nodded and walked to the bathroom.
......
A minute later, Wu Tong sat at the dining table, watching the table full of home-cooked food, his eyes moisten again. I picked up the chopsticks and ate a few bites, and the tears flowed out like pearls with broken threads.
"It's delicious, I really haven't had such a good meal in a long, long time. ”
Wu Tong's sudden crying made Ling Feng's family at a loss. Ling's father and mother looked at Ling Feng at the same time, wanting to know the answer from him (shēn). Ling Feng was also confused, and shook his head helplessly, indicating that he didn't know (qíng) either.
The atmosphere just became sad.
"Wu Tong, is it not delicious that Auntie cooks it, you are ......"
Wu Tong wiped his tears with his arm, and hurriedly waved his hand to explain: "No, Auntie, what you made is delicious, I am not because the food is ......"
Ling Feng picked up the tissue on the table and put it next to Wu Tong (shēn).
After Wu Tong took it, he lowered his head and wiped it, "I'm sorry, let my uncle and aunt see the joke." ”
"It's okay, Auntie doesn't mind. Auntie guess you must be homesick, aren't you?"
Wu Tong pursed his lips and whispered through his nose.
Mother Ling glanced at Father Ling, and after getting Father Ling's consent, she asked, "Then why don't you go home?"
Wu Tong turned his head to look at Ling Feng and said calmly, "I don't have a home anymore, and I don't know where I should go...... When I was in high school, my parents were in a car accident and left, and I lived with my aunt all the time, and although my aunt's family was very good to me, I always felt that I was an outsider. ”
Wu Tong's flat tone seemed to be saying something that had nothing to do with him (qíng). This earth-shattering news exploded directly at the small dinner table.
Ling Feng suddenly understood why Wu Tong didn't go home during the holidays. Knowing the reason behind it, I couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in my heart.
"What a miserable child...... Don't talk about these sad things, let's eat. ”
Wu Tong reluctantly squeezed a smile, picked up the chopsticks and ate them. Although the surface was light and light, Ling Feng understood what a big blow this kind of thing (qíng) was to Wu Tong. Hurriedly sandwiched some dishes for her, and gave her a reassuring look.
Wu Tong nodded and whispered "thank you".
"It's okay, eat more if you like. ”
"Got it, I won't let down your thick (ài)!" Wu Tong smiled.
Seeing Wu Tong recover from her grief, Ling's mother let go of her worries and said gently, "Child, how long do you plan to stay in Yancheng?"
Wu Tong glanced at Ling Feng, "I don't know either." ”
Mother Ling looked at Ling Feng suspiciously, then looked at Wu Tong and continued to ask, "Aren't you going to go back to your aunt's house?"
"I didn't plan to go back, they weren't in very good condition, and I didn't want to trouble them. Wu Tong put down the dishes and chopsticks, and the god (qíng) became serious, "Uncle and aunt are dissatisfied with you and said, I came to Yancheng this time to pursue Ling Feng, he really helped me a lot at school, I want to be with him!"
After Wu Tong finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had used up all the courage of his life.
When Ling Feng heard this, he almost squirted out the rice in his mouth, and looked at Wu Tong with an incredulous expression, he didn't expect her to be able to say such things at the dinner table.
Ling's father and mother stared at Ling Feng with wide eyes, and Ling Feng shook his head innocently again, indicating that he didn't know.
Although Ling Mu had sensed that Wu Tong's feelings for Ling Feng were not quite right at the beginning, she didn't expect her to say it directly like this.
The atmosphere suddenly became eerie.
Wu Tong lowered his head, as if waiting for the judgment of Ling's father and Ling's mother.
After a long time, the atmosphere eased down, and Father Ling coughed a few times, "You young people's affairs (qíng), you are in charge of your own affairs, and your aunt and I will not interfere." If you want to be together, we won't look at you with colored glasses, don't worry, kid. ”
"Thank you, uncle and aunt for your understanding. Wu Tong bit his lip, "Do you think I'm unreserved and not a good girl." ”
"How could it be! On the contrary, Auntie thinks that you are very real, there are not many girls like you now, and you can like our family Ling Feng, which is a blessing he cultivated in his previous life. ”
"Auntie, don't say that, I can know Ling Feng, which is the luckiest thing in my life. ”
Ling Feng was fluttering, and wiped his nose in embarrassment, "Am I as good as you say?" ”
"You stupid son, of course you don't know. Ling's mother said as she served Wu Tong with vegetables.
"Thank you, Auntie, since my parents left, no one has treated me as sincerely as Ling Feng. As he spoke, Wu Tong sobbed again, tears streaming down his cheeks.
Mother Ling was very distressed.
At this moment, Ling Feng finally understood why Wu Tong was so obsessed with liking himself, because he didn't just like it, but it was more to repay.
Hurriedly handed her a tissue.
"I'm sorry, aunt and uncle, but I made you laugh at me again. ”
"Don't talk about it, don't talk about it, let's stop talking about these unpleasant things (qíng), let's eat. Ling Feng started a round.
"Hmm. ”
After eating a meal, Wu Tong's bowl is always full. Moved with tears in his eyes all the time, not letting it fall.
......
After eating, Wu Tong took the initiative to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but was stopped by Ling's mother. "You're a guest, how can you clean it up. Let Ling Feng accompany you to the living room to watch TV. ”
"Come on, you're welcome, just make this your home. Ling Feng couldn't help but pull Wu Tong down from the living room and pressed him on the sofa.
Wu Tong had no choice but to agree and watch TV with Father Ling for a while.
Ten minutes later, Ling's mother walked out of the kitchen after washing the dishes. Wu Tong hurriedly stood up, "Uncle and aunt are not too early now, so I won't bother and go back to the hotel first." ”
"What do you say stupid boy, since you have come to Yancheng, your uncle and aunt can still let you stay in a hotel! You can stay at home tonight, anyway, it is not that there is no room." At night, you will sleep in Ling Feng's room and let him sleep in the small study. ”
"Auntie, isn't that right? Otherwise, I'll go to the hotel." ”
"What's wrong, you listen to Auntie's words, you can live down-to-earth. ”
Wu Tong had a touching smile on his face, "Thank you, Auntie, don't be so troublesome, I'll sleep in the study." ”
"Child, you sleep in Ling Feng's room, that's it. Father Ling refused without sending it.
"Dad has spoken, Wu Tong, you just listen to them, I sleep in the study, and there is still work to be done. Ling Feng persuaded.
"Alright then, thank you uncle and aunt. ”
Mother Ling held Wu Tong's hand and smiled, "Go, go buy toiletries with your son." ”
Father Ling and Ling Feng smiled at each other, changed their clothes and walked out.
......
The community at dusk is extraordinarily peaceful. Except for a few occasional insect calls, no loud sounds could be heard.
Ling Feng knew that his mother had ulterior motives for calling him and his father out, so he silently followed Ling's father's (shēn).
Father Ling took out the cigarette case from his pocket, smoked two cigarettes and handed them over.
"Dad, I don't smoke. ”
"It's good not to smoke, if you don't smoke, then I won't smoke either, so I don't have to go back to your mother to talk about me." Father Ling took out the cigarette and stuffed it back again, "What the hell is the matter between you and that girl?"
Ling Feng simply told himself and Wu Tong (qíng).
After a long time, Father Ling said slowly, "So you don't like her anymore?"
"It's false to say that I don't like it, but I already have a deep (ài) person, and I don't want to hurt her. Ling Feng sighed and said in a tangled manner.
"You make your own decisions, and your mother and I can't help you. I think Wu Tong is a good child, if you don't have the idea of going on with her, just keep your distance from her, understand? I'm getting old, but I don't want to be poked in the back because of your business!
"Dad, I know, I won't do that kind of foolish thing. ”
Father Ling patted Ling Feng's shoulder and was silent.
......
After the things were bought, Ling Feng returned home and saw Ling's mother and Wu Tong chatting happily on the sofa, so he locked himself in the study. Ling Feng wasn't willing to talk to Wu Tong, but he didn't know how to face her.
As time passed, the bright moon in the night sky became brighter and brighter. Ling Feng, who had been working at the desk for a long time, stretched his waist and prepared to rest.
Wu Tong stood outside the study, hesitated, but still chose to knock on the door, "Ling Feng, are you asleep, can we talk?"
After Ling Feng heard Wu Tong's voice, he shuddered, and his originally drowsy sleepiness suddenly scattered and disappeared. After struggling for a long time, I finally opened the door.
