Chapter 13: Solace for the Soul
I ran as hard as I could, I ran as hard as I could.
I shook my head frantically, trying to shake off all the words Wang Cheng said.
However, those words that hit the heart are like magic sounds.
It echoed in my mind over and over again, and it couldn't be calmed down for a long time.
I don't know how long I ran until I didn't have any strength anymore.
That's when I stopped and looked back.
Endless emptiness!
I couldn't see anything but the yellow streetlights.
The cold wind blew, and the grass on the side of the road rustled.
Just like my heart, it's cluttered.
At this moment, my mind is full of Wang Cheng's words.
Yin Lanlan, she and I are not related by blood.
How is this possible!
But what if?
What if!
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became!
At this moment, it was as if there were thousands of mosquitoes crawling up my body.
Tweet in my nasal cavity!
Drill into every pore of mine!
Wantonly biting at my skin and blood!
I don't know what kind of emotions I should use to face Yin Lanlan at all!
I can only pray silently in my heart.
All of this is fake.
Yin Lanlan, she is my daughter!
I don't even know how I got back to the rental house.
I didn't dare to go back to my room, I didn't dare to face Yin Lanlan.
I sat in the living room, clutching that heavy guitar, in a daze.
In a trance, the abnormality coming from Zhou Yao's room caught my attention.
It's like crying.
More and more often.
It disturbs me and I am distraught.
The crying did not subside for a long time.
It's a crazy woman.
As if on a whim, I picked up my guitar and played it softly.
It's really a song that Zhou Yao asked me to play again some time ago.
The tragedy of the forest.
I wrote this piece.
During the time I broke up with Qin Mei, I couldn't sleep all night and drank heavily all day.
It was in this mood that I was inspired to write about it.
With emotional notes, it suddenly surrounds the living room.
Although, a broken guitar, the tone is a bit dull.
But for me, it's really another kind of art.
The beauty of regret.
As the last note fell, the crying in the room stopped coming.
In the next second, Zhou Yao opened the door and looked at me resentfully.
"Are you laughing at me?"
"You think it's funny that I'm crying, don't you?"
"I've taken revenge on you before, and now you're taking this opportunity to take revenge on me, right?"
At this moment, Zhou Yao was already in tears.
The black eyes in the eye sockets also gathered tightly on my body.
A lot has happened to me during this time.
It's like an invisible shackle, tightly wrapped around me.
I was no longer in any mood to refute Zhou Yao's words.
Shu Yang, she is completely gone.
Wang Cheng, he also left me.
Even my daughter is on the edge of a cliff and will fall at any moment.
Rather than live a life in such a depressing day.
It's better to accept everything with a plain heart.
I don't know if it's a sudden convulsion, or if it's indifferent.
I no longer have any hatred for Zhou Yao.
"No, you said you wanted to hear this tune before, but I just remembered it out of nowhere." I looked at Zhou Yao and said casually.
As soon as the words fell, I obviously saw Zhou Yao's body and was slightly stunned.
Even the way she looked at me changed dramatically.
It's like gratitude, and it's like relief.
"I ask you, why did you say you hated me before, and you called me a bastard and a scumbag?"
Since the first day Zhou Yao came to this rental house, her attitude towards me has been very bad.
Over the next few days, I was also labeled as a bastard and scumbag.
It is because of this that I am hostile to Zhou Yao.
So, I've always been trying to figure out why.
However, Zhou Yao didn't answer my question at all.
She slammed the door shut.
"Scum is scum, even if there is a big change, it is still a scum!"
Zhou Yao is a neurotic!
I kindly played the guitar to make her happy, but she was good, but she wanted to slander me.
yes, when you're crying, someone can play the guitar and make you feel better.
But what about me?
Who can understand my feelings!
Sleepless night!
I sat on the couch all night.
I don't even know exactly when I fell asleep.
I only know that I was woken up by Zhou Yao the next day.
The pots and pans in the kitchen ping-pong, Zhou Yao frantically hit the bottom of the pot with a shovel.
Immediately after, Zhou Yao suddenly screamed, and the shovel in his hand also fell to the ground, making a deafening sound.
"Not? Are you sick and start frying the kitchen early in the morning? What time is it, don't you see me sleeping? ”
I scolded and walked towards Zhou Yao.
Smelling the burning smell in the pot, I turned off the gas.
What a pampered woman.
Originally, I was going to reprimand Zhou Yao, but seeing her painful appearance, I suddenly felt a little unbearable.
At this moment, she was covering her hands.
Because of the pain, the whole face has been distorted.
It seems to have been splashed with oil.
"Show me."
Just as I was about to check on Zhou Yao's injuries, she suddenly reached out and slapped me away.
"Don't worry about it!"
"I'll let you show me!"
I frowned tightly and grabbed Zhou Yao's arm.
On her finger, there is indeed a blister.
Looks a little serious.
"You don't deserve to pour oil without wiping the water clean?"
After counting a few sentences, I went back to my room.
At this moment, Yin Lanlan was lying on the bed, sleeping sweetly.
A sense of complexity that I can't put into words filled my entire body in an instant.
After a brief pause, I picked up the medicine box in the corner and headed back to the living room.
"There's iodophor in it, disinfect it yourself, don't waste it in the kitchen, delay my time."
Zhou Yao couldn't say a word, sat on the sofa, opened the medicine box and rummaged through.
After emptying Zhou Yao's mushy breakfast into the trash, I began to prepare Yin Lanlan's breakfast.
Whenever I think of Yin Lanlan, the words Wang Cheng said to me are like a shadow, lingering in my mind.
My mood is unusually irritable.
I prepared breakfast for three people.
When I handed the breakfast to Zhou Yao, she seemed a little flattered.
"What do you want to do, apologize for what you did before?"
"If you collect the money, you will pay the rent for the next month." I said casually.
"You're such a scumbag!"
I didn't continue to pay attention to Zhou Yao, unscrewed the door of the room, and woke up Yin Lanlan.
Yin Lanlan, she has always been a likable girl.
When she saw me, she suddenly threw herself into her arms and called out to my dad coquettishly.
My heart twitched again.
It's like a rough sea, frantically lapping one wave after another......
