Chapter 18: The Dean's Story (Part II)
"At that time, I was hesitant, I was afraid of losing him, and I was afraid of losing my home, I didn't follow him when we separated, but went home, in fact, I wanted to go back with him, but I couldn't muster up the courage."
"It is also because of this that the two of us have been separated from each other since then."
"I didn't know what was going on at the time, because there was a famine everywhere. I went home, because my family had money and power, so we didn't go hungry, and we could get by. β
"But he can't, their family is a farming family for generations, and the slightest disaster will harm their family, not to mention the famine at that time."
"During that time, my life was normal except for him, I missed him, I wrote to him, I wanted to see his handwriting, it would make me feel like someone who saw him."
"But he didn't reply, I panicked, I don't know why he didn't reply, and then, in that era of cannibalism, I secretly ran away with the self-defense weapon given by my family and set out to find the address he left for me."
"I found it, but there was only one letter."
With that, the dean slowly sat up from the rocking chair, his palms holding the tears from his eyes.
Lu Ze panicked, it was the first time he had seen such a dean, and he hurriedly took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to the dean.
The dean took the tissue, wiped away his tears, and looked at Lu Ze: "Do you know what is written in the letter?" β
At this time, the dean was like an old man who was about to wither, Lu Ze didn't dare to continue by the dean, and stretched out his hand to support the dean's arm: "Grandma dean, I don't want to hear it, I'll help you go back and rest." β
"It's okay, it's been so many years, it's rare for someone to listen to my story, so let's continue to listen." The dean knew what Lu Ze was thinking, so he let Lu Ze relax, and without waiting for Lu Ze to refuse, she continued to tell her story.
"What kind of letter is that? There are only two sentences on the surface of the letterβone is to my lover. The other sentence is the address of where I live. β
- "If you read this letter, you already know about me. Because of the famine, my parents passed away one after another, leaving only my younger siblings, who were okay and did not come back outside, but my sister was ruined and killed. β
"I am writing this letter to tell you that I am no longer here, don't miss me anymore, go find new happiness, I regret that I can't go down with you."
"However, I must help my sister get revenge, I will kill that scumbag, and then I will kill myself and no longer live in this world, Haru, forgive me, I'm sorry." ββ
The letter wasn't much, but I can imagine how he felt at the time. I understand him, I just hate myself, hate why I didn't go back with him, if I go back with him, maybe I can get his life back. β
"However, there are no ifs in this world, and I have to bear the consequences of my choice, and it wasn't until many years later that I came out of that accident, and it was then that I established this orphanage."
At this point, the dean slowly lay back in his rocking chair and said no more.
"Dean, thank you, I'll go first." After a long time, Lu Ze came out of the story, he bowed to the dean, and then turned his head to go back to Weiyuanju.
"Remember, don't let yourself be left with regrets, do whatever you want in your heart." As soon as Lu Ze turned his head, the dean's voice came.
Lu Ze turned around, the dean was still lying on the rocking chair with his eyes closed, and the rocking chair was still creaking, but Lu Ze just felt that he had something different.
"Grandma Dean, what's Grandpa's name?" Lu Ze asked.
"Those who have passed away don't have to worry about it anymore. Aze, you just have to remember to go according to your heart. β
Lu Ze was in a trance, the tree, the rocking chair, gave him the feeling that it was a painting, very beautiful.
"Thank you, Grandma Dean." Lu Ze bowed to the dean's grandmother again.
He understood that in fact, the dean didn't want to recall these things anymore, but in order for him not to regret it, the dean still said it, so Lu Ze was really grateful to the dean, grateful to her for her nurturing grace for more than 10 years, and grateful to her selflessness for giving them a warm little home.
After this incident, Lu Ze's heart also underwent a transformation, and the temperament of the whole person became different.
He went back to his room, washed his face with cold water, and looked in the mirror.
"This is my home, and no one can veto it." When he knew that he actually had a family, Lu Ze was really panicked, he didn't know if this sudden appearance of family would change his life, so at that moment, he didn't know what to do.
Later, after stopping the story of the dean, Lu Ze found that his heart had also been baptized, and he strengthened his inner thoughts - this is his home, and he will not leave.
β¦β¦β¦
Let's talk about Yunyi.
After following Lu Ze to the orphanage, Yun Yi did not enter the orphanage, but silently watched Lu Ze, and after seeing Lu Ze sitting next to an old man, she was ready to leave.
She guessed that that should be the director of the orphanage, so with her, it was impossible for Lu Ze to do anything stupid, so she was relieved.
"Why don't you go in and have a look?" Tang Xiaoxiao asked Yunyi.
"No, although I don't know what's going on, but, for now, let's let Lu Ze calm down by himself, let's not bother him." Yun Yi shook her head and rejected Tang Xiaoxiao's proposal, turned around and left.
As for the two men in suits, they called Lu Hecheng as soon as they were derelict in their duties.
"What? Why is this happening? How is my son now? Lu Hecheng is very anxious, Lu Ze is the only bloodline in the Lu family, he is still waiting for Lu Ze to take over the family group, and then retire and travel around the world with his wife.
"The young master is fine, but it seems that the spirit is really not very good, this is our dereliction of duty, you can punish us." The tone of the suit remains the same, but it does not hide its mistakes.
"Forget it, you look at him, don't irritate him again, I'll go and see for myself." Lu Hecheng was also very troubled, who would have thought that that vicious woman would actually go to find her own son? I shouldn't have let her go if I knew it.
"You can't let Yayi know about this matter, otherwise it will definitely start to make trouble again, so I'll go over and find out first." Lu Hecheng put down his phone and began to think about what he should do next to minimize the impact of the matter, and not disrupt his next arrangements.
"The man with the horse pole ......" At this moment, Lu Hecheng's mobile phone rang again.
"Hey, Lao Zhang, why did you remember to look for me?"
"Big deal? Okay, see you tonight. Putting down the phone, Lu Hecheng rubbed his forehead.
"Annoying......"
