Chapter 21: The Scar in the Heart

"Why doesn't Xiaochen eat it?" Qin Xianghua looked at Ye Xiaochen, who had not moved his chopsticks, and the bowl in his hand also stopped.

"Mom, it's strange for you to say it's strange, I went to work yesterday and met someone who looks very similar to me" Ye Xiaochen had a smile on his face, but he still didn't ask directly.

"Pop" The bowl Qin Xianghua was holding fell on the table, she quickly picked it up again, Ye Yuntian also put down the chopsticks, the two glanced at each other, and they could see that the other party was a little excited.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Ye Xiaochen felt that there must be something wrong here.

"No, it's nothing, where did you meet it, it still looks like you." Qin Xianghua's voice had an excitement that could not be concealed, and he looked at Ye Xiaochen with both eyes.

"Well, when we met on the road, I thought it was very familiar, and by the time I noticed it, he was gone." Ye Xiaochen tried his best to make the process seem accidental,

"But ......"

"But what?" Qin Xianghua was disappointed at first, and when she heard Ye Xiaochen's words, she hurriedly stood up and asked.

"However, he had a small mole on the tip of his left eye, and I didn't." Ye Xiaochen also stared at his mother closely.

"......" Qin Xianghua sat back in the chair in a daze and did not speak.

Ye Xiaochen didn't notice that his father Ye Yuntian's eyes had been staring at him thoughtfully.

"Xiaochen, do you have any guesses?" The restaurant that quieted down, or Ye Yuntian broke the silence.

Ye Xiaochen looked at his mother, who hadn't come back to his senses yet, but his eyes were already blurry, and his father, who looked pained, suddenly didn't dare to say the words that came to his mouth.

"No, no, eat, I'm hungry." Ye Xiaochen gave up, when it was really time to uncover it, he was scared, afraid to know something that he shouldn't have known, maybe without the bronze ancient mirror, he would never have had the opportunity to know all this.

Now the family of three is very good, his parents love him, and he is also very happy, which is enough, he is afraid that he will really find out that it will bring some changes to this happy family, so forget it...... Ye Xiaochen was afraid.

Ye Yuntian looked at his wife, who was already in tears, and couldn't help sighing, "Xianghua, Xiaochen is already big, and there are some things that should be let him know." Ye Yuntian turned sideways and hugged Qin Xianghua into his arms.

Ye Xiaochen was silent and didn't say a word, looking at his parents.

"Xiaochen, there are some things that I haven't told you, and we don't want to mention them again, but we haven't given up, and we haven't heard from us for more than twenty years" Ye Yuntian's words were incomplete, Ye Xiaochen knew that there was a follow-up, and listened quietly.

"You also have a brother, named Ye Xiaojiang, two years older than you, when you were more than two years old, your grandmother hugged you and led your brother to the park to play." Ye Yuntian gradually entered the memories that he didn't want to remember, where there was the pain of losing a child and the grief of losing a mother......

Ye Xiaochen listened, and gradually understood the truth that was concealed, this was a tragedy of the Ye family, so for so many years, no one mentioned it.

It was twenty-one years ago, Ye Xiaochen was two and a half years old, Ye Xiaojiang was less than five years old, Ye Xiaochen's grandmother was helping to take care of the children, in that era, women would go to work after giving birth to a child for a period of time, and would not take care of the children at home, Qin Xianghua was no exception.

One afternoon, the old lady took the two children to the park for a walk, by the way to buy some food, ready to cook at night, the old lady hugged Ye Xiaochen, pulled Ye Xiaojiang, Ye Xiaojiang, who was more than four years old, was a little naughty, taking advantage of his grandmother's choice of vegetables, often ran to other stalls, when the old lady paid and went to find Ye Xiaojiang, she couldn't find it, the old lady hugged Ye Xiaochen, changed the whole vegetable market, and shouted hoarsely, still didn't find it......

The Ye family got the news and called the police, but a few days have passed, and there is still no news, Ye Xiaojiang lost it like this, and because of this, Qin Xianghua had a lot of quarrels with the old lady, and the old lady also washed her face with tears all day long, blaming herself, that is, Ye Xiaojiang was lost for about three months, and the pain of her son's loss had not passed, and the old lady held Ye Xiaojiang's favorite toy one night and jumped into the artificial lake in the park......

In less than half a year, the child was lost, the old lady went, this originally happy family has collapsed, the old man Ye Xianglong was silent all day long, smoking dry tobacco every day, the pain of losing a child, the loss of his mother, Ye Yuntian was also in great pain in those years, Qin Xianghua was also living like a year, whenever she walked in front of her neighbors, she pointed at the back, it was this daughter-in-law who forced her mother-in-law to death!

The vicious words shattered the already fragile and verge collapse of the heart, and he never fell ill again.

The old man, who was silent all day, couldn't stand it anymore, and spoke, from then on, the Ye family moved away from that town, and the house was sold, that is, that year, Ye Yuntian's family of three moved to Kangding Community, and this stay was more than ten years.

Ye Xiaochen was shocked by this tragic past, this kind of tragedy happened to his parents, but they have been taking care of their growth without showing the slightest.

Ye Xiaochen knelt down in front of his parents, if it wasn't for his own heart, he wouldn't have uncovered the scars hidden in his parents' hearts, although he didn't ask directly, he really regretted it.

"Xiaochen, what are you doing, hurry up, the reason why I didn't tell you before was because I didn't want to affect your growth, your mother used to go to the Public Security Bureau every year to ask if there was any news, but since you were fifteen years old, we haven't gone again, we don't expect to find your brother, the two of us, it's enough to have you!" Ye Yuntian, in Ye Xiaochen's mind, has always stood up to the sky and the earth, and he has also shed tears for him, a giant who has been shielded from the wind and rain, perhaps, the pain in his heart has not been able to release......

"Mom and Dad, don't worry, my son and I have grown up, I have a share in everything in this family, no matter what kind of pain it is, I can fight with you"

This night, this home, is a moment of tears, the pain and grief that have been suppressed for more than ten years are gradually released.

"Xiaochen, you should know now why your second uncle and aunts don't have much contact with our family, don't blame them, if I knew my mother-in-law like that, I would rather never give birth to your brother......" Qin Xianghua burst into tears with excitement, over the years, she was overwhelmed by the infamy she had carried, but except for Ye Yuntian, she had nowhere to say but to let it go numbly.

Ye Xiaochen also figured out this gratuitous grievance, fate was so cruel, he couldn't feel that kind of pain, but he could imagine it.

And the grandmother who has only seen black-and-white photos since he was a child is so strong, he can't imagine that if one day in the future, he really finds Ye Xiaojiang, how will Ye Xiaojiang face all this.

Don't say it's impossible, Ye Xiaochen has a feeling, because of the bronze ancient mirror, the disappeared Ye Xiaojiang will definitely stand in front of him like in that world!
