Volume 1 Volume 1 - Chapter 11

The twilight is late, the night is coming, the weather tonight is particularly dreary, the sky is dark and oppressive, there is no moonlight, and it looks like a heavy rain is about to fall.

This is an old family building, the wall is mottled, very dilapidated, in the dark night, like an old old building, standing quietly in the dark, the voice-activated lights in the building seem to be broken, much dimmer than the previous lights, flickering slightly, emitting a strange light.

'Knock, knock, knock'.

In the corridor that should have been silent, there were bursts of footsteps at this moment, this voice was not arrogant or impatient, regular and regular, just like walking in your own back garden, slow and dignified.

'Bang, bang, bang'.

"Who?"

The sudden rhythmic knock on the door seemed to fall on the heart of the man in the room, causing his breathing to slow down involuntarily.

"Sir, your takeout has arrived."

The man's tense body suddenly relaxed, he patted his chest, and let out a long breath, the heavy atmosphere just now disappeared.

The man walked to the door, and just opened a crack in the door, and suddenly remembered that I didn't seem to have ordered takeout.

The man at the door suddenly pushed the door open, pushed the man into the room with him, and then closed the door, and the whole action was smooth and did not take more than three seconds.

Outside the window, there was lightning and thunder at this moment, and the pouring rain came instantly, and a lightning bolt split a huge hole in the night sky, and the flickering light was imprinted on the face of the comer, which looked even more hideous.

Cuiping Mountain.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Li Hongbo came home after a busy day's work, since his wife passed away, Li Hongbo has put his heart completely on work, overtime and staying up late is a common thing, this point, compared to the past, is not too late.

"Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi?" Haven't come back yet?

'Ding', a mobile phone ringtone interrupted Li Hongbo's voice.

Xiao Yi's mobile phone turned out to be back.

"Daddy, you're back." Li Yi wore short-sleeved pajamas and walked downstairs, his face was flushed, his short hair was not yet dry, and he looked like he had just taken a shower.

"Just got out of the shower? I thought you didn't come back. โ€

"Well, it's too hot today, and I'm sweating a lot."

Li Hongbo thought about Li Yi's mobile phone, so he opened his mouth to remind: "By the way, someone sent you a message just now, remember to take a look." โ€

"Well, I'll see later."

Li Hongbo sat on the big sofa, looking at Li Yi who was still standing at the top of the stairs, and felt very uncomfortable, "Xiaoyi, come and sit down and talk to your father." โ€

"Okay." Li Yi walked over, and by the way, he took out a set of tea sets from the cabinet next to the sofa, made a pot of Longjing tea, and poured a cup for each of them.

It was a gloomy weather outside, and the father and son sat on both sides of the sofa, sipping hot tea, and looked very peaceful and quiet under the warm yellow light in the living room.

Li Hongbo took a sip of tea, which was mellow and refreshing, "Xiaoyi, it seems that our father and son haven't been like this for a long time, and they sat down quietly to talk." โ€

Li Yi thought for a while and replied, "10 years." โ€

Li Hongbo was dumbfounded, obviously he didn't expect Li Yi to calculate the time so clearly.

"The specific time is after my mother died."

"Do you hate your dad all these years?"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Yi's mouth, as if mocking the other party, and as if laughing at himself, "Hate? That's right, I hate you, and I hate myself, like, you hate me too. โ€

This sentence was like a sharp blade, plunging straight into Li Hongbo's chest, hitting his heart, unable to prevent it, and making him unable to return to his senses for a long time.

For a long time, the father and son did not speak again, and a thunderclap suddenly sounded outside the house, which was deafening, and the atmosphere in the house became even heavier.

Li Yi's face had recovered as before, he took a sip of tea, quiet and indifferent, as if the harsh words just now were not what he said, and he was at ease.

"Over the years, it's Dad who is sorry for you, and Dad has hurt you."

Li Yi's hand holding the tea paused.

"I remember, when you were a child, you obviously weren't like this."

"Really? I don't remember. โ€

"It's okay if you don't remember." Li Hongbo said in a daze, "You are about to go to college, you want to start a new life, and you can forget the previous things." โ€

Li Yi looked at Li Hongbo as if he was looking at a stranger, "Some things will be forgotten, and some things will never be forgotten after they happen." โ€

Li Hongbo knew that this was the result, he no longer insisted on it, but asked cautiously: "Then you, will you forgive Dad?" โ€

"No, it won't." Li Yi stood up suddenly, his expression was red, he was emotional, and there seemed to be some tears in his eyes, "I, never, never, forgive you!" Forgive someone who once wanted me to die, and you should never forget it. โ€

Li Hongbo suddenly felt that all the strength in his body was exhausted, he leaned back, fell on the sofa, covered his eyes with his hands, gasped for breath, and calmed the violent emotional fluctuations in his heart.

After a long time, one minute, two minutes, or five minutes, Li Hongbo took a deep breath and sat up again, "It's not early, you can rest early." Dad suddenly remembered that there was still something to be done in the office. โ€

"Also, Xiaoyi, Dad did something wrong and hurt you before, but Dad loves you, and you and Mom are the most important people in my life."

After speaking, without waiting for Li Yi's reaction, he walked straight out, his steps were so hurried that he even forgot to bring his briefcase.

Li Yi looked at the weather outside the window, the wind was surging suddenly, the lightning was thundering, and it took a long time for him to remember that Li Hongbo didn't seem to bring an umbrella when he went out.

"So are you."

'Jingle ~ Jingle Bell'

Li Yi was shaken back to his senses by a phone ringing, and two words were displayed on the mobile phone screen, 'Feng Yuan'.

He shook his head vigorously and adjusted his mood before answering the phone: "Ah Yuan?"

"Ah!! You finally answered the phone, the master sent you a text message, and you didn't reply to the QQ message, what are you doing? Even through the phone line, Li Yi heard Feng Yuan's impatience for a while.

"I just took a shower."

"Take a bath? Bathing and washing for so long, there must be a problem, is it secretly beaten. Hand. Guns? โ€

"Nope."

"Hehe, if you say no, you won't have it, I won't believe it anyway."

โ€œยทยทยทยทยทยท What's up? โ€

"By the way, you didn't read the text message I just sent you?"

Li Yi took his mobile phone away, called up the page of the text message, and then saw the message sent by Feng Yuan, and his heart was shocked, what?

"Is this true?"

"Of course it's true, I just received the message, how is it, do you want to come with me?"

"It's too late today, and it's going to rain soon, so let's get over early tomorrow morning, and don't rush at this time."

"That's right, well, I'll see you tomorrow morning."

"See you tomorrow."

Hanging up the phone, Li Yi sat on the sofa in a daze for a long time, and finally picked up the phone and pressed out a string of numbers.

'Toot ~ Toot ~'
