Chapter 51: The Dusty Past
Su Luoluo faced the cold wind, ran all the way, and when she went out of the gate of the community, she met a taxi waiting on the side of the road to pick up customers, and sat on it without thinking about it. Tell the driver to drive to the lively pedestrian street.
After getting out of the car, the oncoming wind was extremely cold. But today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the streets are full of lights and the atmosphere is hot.
Su Luoluo wrapped the down jacket on her body tightly, although her five fingers were red from the cold, she didn't feel it anymore. The "wild seed" full of grandfather's voice, I thought that I could finally get the warmth of my family, but it disappeared so quickly.
Su Luoluo suddenly wanted to look up to the sky and smile, like a heroic ancient knight. It was all like a joke, and suddenly it was like a joke that God had played on her.
The lively streets are crowded, but the joy is someone else's, and it has nothing to do with her. She walked numbly and casually, and unconsciously came to the vicinity of Imperial Capital University.
The students are on vacation, and there are not many people on campus at the moment, and it is very quiet. She walked casually inside, and suddenly remembered Lu Lingchen. Thoughts are like a flood, out of control.
Next to the woods, there is a lake that is extremely beautiful. Under the illumination of the street lamp, the waves sparkled, reflecting the bright moonlight in the sky.
Su Luoluo sat down on a chair by the lake and involuntarily took out her mobile phone, only to find that it had long been out of power and automatically turned off. In winter, the mobile phone battery loses power relatively quickly.
Looking at the dark screen, she was a little melancholy, as if she had been forgotten by the world, and an unprecedented sense of loneliness hit her heart.
After sitting for a while, Su Luoluo got up and was about to leave. Suddenly, I heard someone calling my name, hazy, one after another, from far to near.
At first, Su Luoluo couldn't believe it, but after two sounds, she recognized it as Lu Lingchen's voice. Hurriedly shouted: "I'm here!" I'm here! ”
As she shouted, she ran towards the voice.
I saw that Lu Lingchen also ran towards her quickly, ran to her, and reached out to hug her without hesitation, tightly, in his arms.
Su Luoluo was stunned for a moment, but soon her heart was full of emotion and warmth, and she reached out and hugged him back.
Time seemed to stand still.
Although they only hugged for a few seconds, it felt as if a long time had passed.
Lu Lingchen took the lead in letting go of her, gently holding her shoulder, and carefully looked up and down to see that she was not injured all over her body before letting go of his hand.
Su Luoluo looked at each other in a daze, her big eyes sparkling, and there were a thousand words in her eyes.
Just when neither of them knew how to speak, the sky suddenly began to splash and snow fell. Like cotton wool, it flutters in the wind little by little.
Su Luoluo reached out in surprise, caught a few snowflakes, and carefully brought them to her mouth and licked them. It's cold, it's cold, and although it doesn't taste good, she always thinks it's a little sweet.
Immediately, she was as happy as a child, stretched out her hands, and circled in the snowflakes flying in the sky.
Looking at Su Luoluo, who finally showed a smile, Lu Lingchen was also infected, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
After turning around a few times, a little dizzy, Su Luoluo stopped. At this time, she remembered the Korean drama she had watched before, and the legend about "First Snow" in it.
The South Korean side seems to believe that if they confess at the beginning of the snow, the lovers will be a couple for the rest of their lives.
Looking at Lu Lingchen standing in the snow, a lot of snowflakes fell on the two of them unconsciously.
Su Luoluo suddenly felt that the person in front of her was a little unreal. She looked forward to Ai Ai's mouth: "Why did you come?" ”
"I received a call from Aunt Su saying that you suddenly left the house and ran out. Then we kept calling you, and found that we couldn't get in touch, and everyone was looking for you separately. ”
"And how did you know I was here?"
"Actually, I drove to find a lot of places, and then I came to Imperial Capital University with a thought. Didn't expect you to be here. ”
"Hmm." Su Luoluo didn't know what to say, so she simply fell silent.
Lu Lingchen is a person with a calm personality. He turned his back and pulled out his phone. I made a call to Su's mother and told her that she had found Su Luoluo and asked her not to worry. After a few words of comfort, he hung up the phone.
Looking back, Su Luoluo had already sat down on a chair on the side of the road, staring blankly at the sky.
Lu Lingchen walked over slowly and sat down beside her. is not in a hurry to urge her, and looks at the sky with her.
After a long while, Su Luoluo slowly spoke: "Plain white, crystal clear, translucent." It turns out that the snow is really beautiful and beautiful. ”
Turning his head to Lu Lingchen and smiling, "After reading so many poems written by the ancients describing snow, I actually feel that no one can write anything that can compare to the shock I saw with my own eyes at this moment." ”
Lu Lingchen agreed: "Therefore, it is better to read 10,000 books than to walk 10,000 miles." On paper, it is shallow. ”
Su Luoluo turned her head and looked at him with a smile.
"Luoluo, can you tell me what happened tonight?"
When Su Luoluo heard this, the smile on her lips gradually faded.
After a long time, I struggled to speak, and my throat felt a little dry. "You know what? It turns out that I am a wild species. ”
She slowly told Lu Lingchen what she heard her grandfather and mother arguing with tonight. In her tone, it is not difficult to hear her perseverance and sadness, which makes people feel pitiful.
Lu Lingchen quietly listened to Su Luoluo's confession, and didn't know how to comfort her for a while, but she didn't expect that there was such a story hidden behind her single parent.
Looking at the little girl's sad and lonely expression, Lu Lingchen only felt that his heart was like a knife.
"Whatever the facts, in the end, it is also the emotional entanglement of the previous generation. There is no right or wrong in love, and I believe that your grandfather will say such things because he loves his daughter. After all, as a well-known professor and scholar, his attitude towards these things on campus may be more intense than ordinary people. ”
"I understand, and I can understand my grandfather's anger. In fact, for so many years, I have been imagining what kind of person my father is, whether he is alive or dead, good or bad, I think I can accept it. But when I heard the truth, I felt like I was overestimating my ability to accept it. ”
At this time, Lu Lingchen noticed that Su's mother and grandfather, who had rushed over after hearing the news, had quietly walked not far behind them.
"Luoluo, no matter what, your mother and family love you from the bottom of their hearts. Give them a chance, give them a chance to learn all the truth. Believe in yourself and you can be strong. ”
After Lu Lingchen finished speaking, he stood up and motioned for Su Yi and Su Jingyuan to come closer.
Su Luoluo also noticed her mother and grandfather not far behind her at this time, and she also hurriedly stood up and looked at them at a loss.
Mother Su Yi immediately walked over in three steps and two steps, hugged her daughter in her arms, and cried silently. Grandpa also walked up to Su Luoluo's side, gently hugged her shoulders, and apologized to her over and over again.
The three of them immediately hugged and cried, and Lu Lingchen quietly retreated. He knew he needed to leave some space for the family.
After a while. Su's mother finally stopped crying, took Su Luoluo's hand and sat down, while her grandfather Su Jingyuan accompanied Su Luoluo on the other side.
"Luoluo, we're sorry for you! Today, my mother will tell you everything about the past. ”
Mother Su Yi began to slowly tell her unforgettable story.
*********
"I have been smart since I was a child, and I have always been the top student in my class from elementary school to high school, so I have a high heart and am a bit proud of my talents."
"When I was 18 years old, I was admitted to the School of Clinical Medicine of Imperial Capital Medical University, which is the number one medical school in the country. In my four years as an undergraduate, I received the highest scholarship in the college, and in the eyes of many teachers and classmates, my future is limitless. ”
"After completing my undergraduate studies, I was successfully admitted to the School of Medicine for a master's and doctor's degree in clinical medicine, majoring in neurosurgery, under the supervision of Zhong Wenhan, a nationally renowned neurosurgery professor at that time."
Speaking of this, her mother Su Yi stopped and looked at Su Luoluo deeply. "Zhong Zhihan, he is your father."
Su Luoluo was very unfamiliar with the name. But the word "father" shook her.
"When I was an undergraduate, I had already heard of Zhong Zhihan, as the 'first knife' outside the gods, his level was very high, and there were many students who admired him like stars."
"He was 9 years older than me, and my admiration for him has slowly changed since I became his graduate student, and I fell in love with him. I like his erudition, I like his elegance, I like his doctor's style, like a moth to a fire, I can't help but fall in love with him. ”
Su Yi recalled the past, and her eyes became different and tender. Su Luoluo listened silently, such a mother was the other side she had never seen.
Zhong Zhihan also liked me unconsciously, and we were madly in love for 2 years throughout the graduate stage. However, our feelings cannot be tolerated by the world. Su Yi said this, but sighed deeply.
"Mom, why?! Just because he's your teacher? ”
Su Yi shook her head, but couldn't continue.
Grandfather Su Jingyuan on the side said coldly: "Because that Zhong Zhihan was originally a married man!" Not only did he have a wife, but he also had a child who was a few years old at the time. ”
Su Luoluo's eyes widened......
"Humph! That bastard boy is not worthy of being a teacher! That's why I'm so much against your mother being with him! ”
Su Luoluo didn't know what to say, and looked at her mother again.
Su Yi's expression was painful, "Yes, he has a wife. I didn't know it at first, and we had always loved each other in a very vague way. Because he was my teacher, it was very easy to attract people in a teacher-student relationship a few decades ago. We are worried about affecting his future, in the words of you young people, 'underground'. ”
Su Luoluo can imagine the environment at that time. Not to mention a few decades ago, just like now, teacher-student love on campus is not something that can be bravely made public.
"I was with him for more than a year, and it was only later that your grandfather found out about our relationship. Your grandfather is a well-known professor at Imperial Capital University, and he has a wide range of people in the university circle of Imperial Capital, so he inquired that Zhong Zhihan had a wife. ”
Su Jingyuan took over: "Not only did I find out that he had a wife, but I also found out that when he was with your mother at the beginning, it was when his wife was pregnant!" This kind of person, hey! ”
"When I heard your grandfather tell me these things, I didn't believe it at first, thinking that your grandfather was stubborn and opposed to teacher-student love. But after I had a showdown with Zhong Zhihan, I found out that it was all true. He said that he didn't love his wife at all, that the person he loved was me, and that he would divorce and marry me for me. ”
"Mom, so you believed him?"
"I don't know......" Su Yi suddenly covered her face in pain and began to sob. But at that time, I found out that I was pregnant. I love him so much that I'd rather choose to believe in him! ”
"But when my belly grew bigger day by day, he had no intention of divorcing. I learned that for the sake of his future, he was afraid that the teacher-student relationship would affect his reputation, and it was impossible for him to divorce his wife. ”
"Your grandfather hated me for not being made of steel, he persuaded me, scolded me, and even beat me. But I'm still obsessed with it. even didn't hesitate to turn his face with your grandfather for the sake of Zhong Zhihan. In the end, I decided to take a leave of absence, did not continue my doctoral studies, ran away from home, went to S City, and gave birth to you. ”
"It's really hard to be a single mother. Fortunately, although I didn't finish my Ph.D., I still got a graduate degree from Imperial Medical University, and then I entered S Central Hospital to support you while working. You know the rest of the story. ”
Su Luoluo couldn't help but hug her mother, for so many years, how hard her mother had raised her, she was grateful.
Grandfather Su Jingyuan suddenly spoke: "Yi girl, so you insist on giving birth to a child, or is it because you can't let go of Zhong Zhihan?" ”
Su Yi shook her head: "No, but I, as a medical student, have the supreme reverence for life." Let me give up a living child, I will never be able to do it! After so many years, I haven't seen Zhong Zhihan again, and I don't want to see him again! ”
Su Jingyuan nodded.
The family opened the conversation, but there was no gap. Su Jingyuan saw that the sky was dark and the cold was heavier, and persuaded the mother and daughter to go home together.
