Chapter 72: Dead Heart

After seeing off Pan Hao's mother, Aunt Li, Wang Yu's family of three immediately returned to the house, chatting and laughing and eating delicious and sweet watermelon.

However, in this pleasant atmosphere, in fact, Wang Yu didn't say much, he only occasionally smiled and carefully catered to his parents in it.

Because although his lie just now didn't seem to have been exposed by them, he was still very uneasy in his heart at the moment.

Wang Yu knew very well in his heart that although his father was honest, he was very vicious when he looked at things and people.

If you don't deal with it carefully, you will be exposed by your honest and shrewd father immediately, and the consequences will really be unimaginable at that time.

Thinking of this, Wang Yu had to 'hide' even more.

Wang Yu smiled and ate the watermelon in his hand, secretly observing the expressions on his parents' faces from time to time, and at the same time silently thinking in his heart whether his father would suddenly attack him, and how he would deal with that situation.

"Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing for Hao Hao?" After handing the largest piece of watermelon on the table to her son, Wang Yu's mother asked her husband with a smile.

"I can't say for sure." Wang Yu's father smiled, thought for a moment, and said, "But with Haohao's usual grades, this time should be a good thing." Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to get into college. ”

"I also think it's a good thing after you say this, you see how happy Haohao has just become." Wang Yu's mother remembered the smile on Pan Hao's mother's face just now.

"How can you not be happy, I didn't have any hope, but suddenly I came here like this, and whoever I changed would definitely be happy to death." Wang Yu's father said with a smile.

"Not necessarily, right?"

Wang Yu's mother said and glanced at her son, who was hiding next to her silently, turned her face to her husband and smiled: "If this matter really falls on Xiao Yu, I don't think you will be happy." ”

Wang Yu was slightly startled, he didn't expect his mother to suddenly talk about it, and he looked up at his father in curiosity, as if he was faintly expecting something in his heart.

"Who said that, if it really falls on Xiao Yu, I will be happy."

Wang Yu's father said, glanced at Wang Yu, and suddenly found that a light seemed to flash in his son's eyes, and he was shocked, and then wanted to explore carefully, his son had hurriedly lowered his head, and after groaning slightly, he changed his words and said: "But our Xiao Yu is studying art well now, and there is no need to wade into such a muddy water." ”

"That's right, we don't envy Haohao, my son will definitely become a great painter in the future, right?" Wang Yu's mother smiled and patted Wang Yu's shoulder and asked confidently.

"Mom, it's too early to say this, but don't worry about you and Dad, I will definitely work hard." Wang Yu said with a wry smile, his eyes no longer dared to peek at his father, because he knew that his father was quietly watching him at this moment.

"It's not early at all, I believe my son has the ability." Wang Yu's mother's face was full of a smile of relief, "Come, eat another piece." ”

Wang Yu took the watermelon with a smile, and just wanted to put it in his mouth, when suddenly his father's voice sounded, Wang Yu immediately stopped his movements, raised his head, and looked at it with a solemn face.

"What kind of basketball training camp did you say about Aunt Li just now, did you really quit? I see that you have been trying to tell me something since you got home, isn't it this? Wang Yu's father said, there was no longer a smile on his face, and a pair of eyes looked straight at his son.

"Didn't Xiao Yu say it just now, he has already withdrawn, why are you still asking now?" Wang Yu's mother looked at her husband in bewilderment, and reached out to pat her son, who seemed to be frightened.

"Don't interrupt, I'm going to listen to him tell me himself."

Wang Yu's father waved his hand, "Tell me again now, have you really quit?" ”

"Dad, don't worry, I'm really quitting."

Wang Yu looked at his father's solemn expression, and the little flame of hope in his heart was completely extinguished at this moment.

"Oh, so I'm relieved."

Wang Yu's father saw that his son didn't seem to be lying to him, nodded with satisfaction, and then changed the conversation, and said: "Actually, Dad knows that you have liked basketball since you were a child, but Xiao Yu, you must know that with your physical condition and the reality of our family, that sport is not something we can play at all." Don't blame my dad for being selfish, the reason why I let you study art is because I think it is more suitable for you, and there will be more ways out in the future, do you understand? ”

"Dad, I understand. Rest assured, I will never touch basketball again. Wang Yu lowered his head and replied in a low voice.

Seeing his son's suddenly gloomy expression, Wang Yu's father's heart couldn't help but flash a trace of anger, but then he seemed to be touched by something, and changed his words: "I know that you will probably feel a little sad in your heart, but this thing is related to your future life in the future, I will not give in no matter what, do you understand?" ”

"Dad, I don't blame you." Wang Yu raised his head in fear.

"Although you say so, you will still be a little unwilling in your heart, I can see this."

Wang Yu's father said, waved his hand to stop his son, who wanted to argue, and continued: "Do you remember when you were in junior high school, you were seriously injured while playing basketball and was hospitalized. If I'm not mistaken, it seems like you couldn't write with a pen for more than two months, right? ”

Wang Yu nodded silently, but he didn't understand why his father suddenly mentioned that long ago.

"How long ago was this, what are you talking about it for?" Seeing her son with his head down, looking like he had done something wrong, Wang Yu's mother couldn't bear it, and raised her head and glared at her husband.

"Why are you interrupting again, the main point of what I want to say is later."

Looking at his wife, Wang Yu's father smiled bitterly in his heart, turned his face to Wang Yu and continued: "Since that incident, I have decided not to let you touch basketball again, do you know why?" ”

"You're afraid I'll get hurt again." Wang Yu whispered.

"You're only half right."

Looking at his son, who raised his head again and was full of confusion, Wang Yu's father couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in his heart, and then his voice became much softer.

"You know, if it weren't for that accidental injury, you wouldn't have been left behind so much schoolwork, and your grades in high school wouldn't be like this. The reason why I say so much is mainly to tell you that basketball has ruined your high school entrance examination, I don't want to see it ruined again because of basketball, if it is really because of basketball, I will not let you repeat it for another year, do you understand? ”

"Dad, I understand." Wang Yu nodded heavily this time.

"What are you talking about?"

Wang Yu's mother grabbed Wang Yu's head lovingly, looked at the father and son who suddenly became extremely serious in conversation, and said with a smile: "Don't say it, you two will finish all these watermelons for me quickly." ”

"I won't eat it, you and Xiao Yu and you two can eat, I'm going out now." Wang Yu's father stood up with a smile.

Just received his son's own and extremely affirmative answer, he felt relaxed at this moment, and the heavy burden in his heart was immediately put down.

"What are you going out to do on this hot day?" As he spoke, he looked at the wall clock hanging on the wall, "It's only past two o'clock, and it's hot outside." ”

"Look what kind of brain you are."

Wang Yu's father smiled and put the vest on one side of the stool on his body, "You forgot that I just took a renovation job two days ago." ”

"I know, but didn't you say you had a day off?" Wang Yu's mother said, looking at Wang Yu's father's crippled left hand, her eyes full of bitterness.

"I rested this morning, and now I think it's almost time to start, and I have to rush over." As he spoke, he turned his face to Wang Yu and said, "Wait a minute, before you leave, help your mother set up the stall." ”

Wang Yu nodded, his eyes were as tight as his mother's on his father's injured hand, and he asked in a low voice, "Dad, is your hand okay now?" ”

"Don't listen to your mother's nonsense, it's all right now." Wang Yu's father smiled and waved his left hand, and after speaking, he strode out.

"Bring a towel to wipe off sweat."

Wang Yu's mother said, suddenly thought of something, and grabbed her husband, "Wait a minute, I'll go and fill you with a cup of herbal tea, and drink it when you rest for a while." ”

"Okay, then you hurry up, I'm embarrassed to go late."

Wang Yu's father smiled at his wife, "Xiao Yu, go and get me the key to the electric car." ”

Wang Yu answered, and hurriedly ran to the back room to take out the key. When his father reached out and took the key, his heart couldn't help but ache again.

Walking slowly behind his father, Wang Yu's eyes were firmly fixed on the snow-white gauze.

At this moment, he suddenly hated such a snow-white color.

Because they were so dazzling at the moment, something was faintly surging in his eyes.

…………

…………

Outside the gates.

"It's hot outside, you guys come in."

Smiling and taking the teacup from his wife's hand, Wang Yu's father waved his hand at their mother and son, and then drove the somewhat dilapidated battery car onto the long asphalt road not far in front of the door.

"Let's go, let's go in."

Seeing her husband's somewhat thin figure gradually disappear and finally disappear, Wang Yu's mother slowly withdrew her gaze, turned around and said with a smile.

"Mom, is Dad's hand really okay?" Wang Yu asked in a low voice.

"I don't know." Wang Yu's mother couldn't help but flash a trace of worry in her eyes, and then smiled: "But since your father said that it was okay, I think it should be really good." Let's go, let's go back. ”

Although there were still many things in his heart that he wanted to ask his mother, Wang Yu knew that he couldn't let his mother worry more now, because he knew that his mother was more worried about his father than he was at this moment.

In desperation, Wang Yu had no choice but to smile, and then followed his mother to the courtyard. It's just that no one knows that in Wang Yu's mind at this moment, the shadow of snow-white gauze lingers for a long time.

The scorching sun hung high in the sky, and it had no pity for this miserable world. In the midst of the showmanship, ten thousand golden rays baked the earth, and everything suddenly gave people the illusion that it was about to evaporate.

It's an illusion, but it's very real.

It's disgusting, it's hateful, but it's helpless.
