329: Sunlight dispels lies
"Hey, who's who?" I asked, picking up the phone.
"It's me......" Tian Sen's familiar voice came.
Think it should indeed be him.
At the beginning, Zheng Xuyin said that Tian Sen was worried that I would know about him in the hospital, so he asked Zheng Xuyin to lie to me, and he said that he would conduct a three-month closed training camp.
Now, three months later, he dared to call me.
"Tian Sen. β
"Well, it's me, what's the matter? Suddenly I received a call, a little uncomfortable?" he asked with a smile.
Hearing him speak so slowly, you know that he should be recovering well.
"That's right...... It's just that I don't fit in, I disappeared for three months, and suddenly I was called, how could I adapt?" I said. I want to be calm in tone, but when I hear his voice, I can't help but want to be gentle.
Especially, when I thought that Zheng Xuyin was still in prison, I felt that I had to be gentle.
"Heh, you're angry? Didn't my dad tell you? I'm here for centralized closed training, and I can't help it. He continued to lie.
"Well, your dad said ......"
After listening to this, he thought for a moment and then asked in a low voice, "Have you seen my dad recently?"
"What's wrong?" I asked, pretending not to know.
"I called him and couldn't get through. I couldn't get through to Uncle Zuo by phone. He said.
Hearing his words, my heart hurt slightly.
Come to think of it, he must have endured it for a long time. For three months, I haven't called Zheng Xuyin in these three months, and as a son, I will definitely be very anxious. However, he did not dare to contact me rashly. I'm afraid I'll let me know about his illness.
He's that kind of boy. If a lie is made up, the lie is perceived as a real frame. He didn't want to think he was lying to me, so he wouldn't call me when he was alone and uncomfortable.
Now, three months later, he can finally call me and ask me about his father's whereabouts.
Should he be said to be mature or naΓ―ve?
"Murphy?" he asked when he saw that I was silent.
"Huh?" I quickly responded, but I didn't know how to answer him.
"Did something happen to my father?" he asked with unusual sensitivity.
I know that Tian Sen is very smart, if he lies, he will definitely be able to see through it, and more importantly, if he lies and says that Zheng Xuyin is fine, then what will he do later? When he comes back, there is no way to tell this lie.
"Murphy?" he shouted again excitedly.
I glanced at the curious Li Shan next to me, turned around and walked to the windowsill on the side, looking at the jubilant crowd in the distance, and watching Ah Long being complimented by a crowd of people in the middle. Thinking of the former Zheng Xuyin, if he is still there, the person in the middle should be him.
"Something happened to your father. I said.
"I knew something must have happened to him!" he asked with some excitement, "What's wrong with my father?"
"Do you know what your father does besides making water products?"
"He is so close to Uncle Zuo, I know that Uncle Zuo is involved in crime, could it be that Uncle Zuo hurt him?" he asked.
"So to speak...... After Zuo Xiongliang was arrested, your father was also arrested, but he looked for me before he was arrested. β
"What did he tell you?"
"He told me to see you......" I said directly.
When he heard this, he suddenly stopped speaking......
For a long time, we didn't speak to each other.
The July sun shone on me, as if a chemical reaction was taking place, and all these lies had to be dispelled.
The air conditioner next to me was blowing cold wind, and Li Shan came over and fiddled with the direction, so that it would not blow on me and cold.
I gave him a simple look of thanks, and he nodded and stepped aside, not bothering me.
"Actually, I know all about it......" I said, "and I have also got a visa, and I will go to the United States to find you in the summer." β
"Heh......" He sneered lonely and vicissitudes, and asked self-deprecatingly, "Do you think I'm stupid." β
"No, I think you're very... It's pure. Love is pure. I said.
"Do you still love me?" he asked.
At that moment, I wanted to say "no love" decisively, thinking that since everything had been settled, why should I be entangled with him?
But how can I continue to fight him when I think that he hasn't fully recovered yet, and now that I know that this is the case with his father?
Changing the subject, he said: "Tian Sen, no matter what you encounter, I will tide over the difficulties with you." β
"You mean, you're coming to the U.S. to do rehabilitation with me?" he asked.
I didn't expect it that far, but after he said that, I naturally had to deal with it, "Yes... I'll be looking for you in the United States, so, don't ask me those childish questions again. β
"I... Is my father locked up?" he asked again.
"Well, there are a lot of charges involved, but I don't know about it, and I don't know what the charges are. I asked my dad about it, but he was not in the same department as the police, and he only knew that he had been sentenced to more than ten years in prison. I said.
"......" After he heard this, he was silent again.
When I saw this, I said, "Your father came to me before he knew that he was going to be taken into custody, and he left you money so that you could rest assured that you would be treated. β
Actually, Zheng Xuyin didn't leave me any money, and all his funds were stolen. The house was also to be sealed at that time, but after I interceded with Officer Liu, they checked the relevant files and found that it was Zheng Tiansen's name, and they did not move again.
However, since I promised Zheng Xuyin to take care of Tian Sen, I will send Tian Sen medical expenses according to the previous agreement, and I should pay for it.
He was silent for a while, and then whispered in a pleading tone, "Can you inquire more about my father? β
"I try to ......," I said. In my heart, I didn't want to tell him those things. Those things are too complicated, and Tian Sen is just an ordinary high school student, what can he do?
"......Huh," he exhaled in frustration, "I'll recover, and when I recover, I'll find out everything." β
"Your dad said he wouldn't let you check, just let you study hard. Moreover, your father is in prison now, and when you recover, you can still visit him in prison when you come back. β
"......" he quieted down again.
"Don't worry...... I'll look for you when I'm on summer vacation. I said.
"Mo Fei ......" he said in a cold tone, "...... Why do I hear pity in your words?"
"You think too much, everyone will have difficulties, I said, I will get through it with you. β
"Thanks, I, I'll hang up first. As he spoke, he hung up.
The last thank you made me feel that he seemed to be at odds with me.
Perhaps, he felt that after his father's failure, he also became a failure. Or, he thinks I used to "like" him, and part of it had to do with money.
If he knew that I was now the invisible boss of a group, he would definitely leave me directly. His self-esteem won't let him stay with me unless one day he does a better and better job than me.
Holding my phone, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, I thought about the scene where he sent me home every night. At that time, he was so simple.
I remember the days when we went to the provincial capital for training together, he cared about me meticulously, and the love in his eyes made people panic just thinking about it.
Rubbing his phone, he suddenly didn't know in what capacity he went to see him.
As a friend, it is equivalent to "breaking up", he can't stand the double blow, and if he is a lover, he feels a little awkward.
"Boss, what are you thinking?" Li Shan leaned over and asked.
"Oh, nothing. β
"Shall we go to dinner then?" Huang Mao and the others all went to the restaurant and waited. Li Shan said.
"Well, let's go. β

A week later, it was summer vacation.
Zhang Liang's ghostly brain and extremely keen sense of smell seemed to sense that I was going abroad, and his expression was different when he stared at me.
The main reason was that he knew that Tian Sen was in the United States, so he asked me about Tian Sen's current situation, and even asked me if I was going to the United States.
I said, "You're thinking too much. β
"I didn't think much about it, you've been watching some American stuff lately, and besides, in your final exam, you actually ranked 10th in your grade in English!? When you took the last exam, you didn't do that well at all! Is this a coincidence? This must be a premeditated study!"
"You're thinking too much......" I repeated. However, I feel that his brain and observation skills are really strong enough! Sure enough, he is a policeman!
"Hmph...... If you don't tell the truth, believe it or not, I'm following you!?" he said.
I won't stay in the United States for long, so why be afraid of him following?
"You're thinking too much......" I smiled at him and went straight back to my room and closed the door.
β¦β¦
In the week before the holiday, I had a phone call with Tian Sen.
On the phone, he didn't talk about love again, nor did he ask me again if I loved him, and his words were full of a kind of coldness. I asked Zheng Xuyin about his situation before and after, and he didn't even ask me when I was going to look for him.
The day after the holiday, I returned to Hongren and accompanied my father to the hospital for a physical examination, and after making sure that he was in good health, I contacted Zhang Yang.
Now Zhang Yang and Wei Zizhou are both in the United States, but Zhang Yang has an activity in Italy, so he will not be able to return to the United States until the day after tomorrow.
So, I booked a plane ticket to the United States the day after tomorrow.
β¦
Two days later,
Before dawn, Li Shan drove me to the international airport in the provincial capital.
Only he knew that I was going abroad, and the others didn't.
After he knew that I was going to the United States, he also knew that I was going to find Tian Sen. Therefore, my face was not very good-looking along the way. However, it was not spoken.
In the world of feelings, he will always be a stuffy gourd.
Unless he is drunk, he will not release his true self in Neiko. However, he is also an extremely self-disciplined person,
I've never seen him get drunk.
&
The plane arrived at 8:10 a.m. and arrived at 21 o'clock. However, the time difference between China and the United States is 13 hours. When I arrived, it was just over eight o'clock in the morning U.S. time.
There are people of all skin tones, and the feeling is a little new and a little worrying.
When I got out of the airport, I saw Zhang Yang and Wei Zizhou already waiting at the pick-up gate.
When I saw them, the little worry in my heart was gone.
"Welcome to the United States!! haha!" Zhang Yang wore sunglasses and opened his arms exaggeratedly.
"Give it to me. Wei Zizhou reached out and took my suitcase.
I turned my head to look at Zhang Yang with a mean smile on his face, elbowed him lightly and said, "When can you stop being so sassy?"
"What are you kidding? This is America, and if you want to fit in with this society, you have to be like my name -- confident and flamboyant!!" he said, taking off his sunglasses and wincing his eyebrows.
