Chapter 140: Father's Tears

In a heavily guarded nuclear war shelter, Lofe knew that he was now in the safest area of the southern capital, but he did not have a moment of peace in his heart. At the thought that his son Yang Xiaoqian was now fighting to the death against aliens or other things outside, Luo Fei couldn't break free from the fear that haunted his mind.

In contrast, Yang Yan was very calm, or at least calm, smoking a cigar, drinking fine wine, and even sitting on a recliner reading comics, but the black-and-white comic book he held in his hand had not turned pages for a long time.

This kind of tormented waiting is not new to Yang Yan, when he was in Yuanjiang, there were many large-scale battles in which Yang Xiaoqian personally commanded and even went into battle in person, and every time Yang Yan would be "invited" to the safest place to "rest".

At first, Yang Yan was more anxious than Luo Fei, and tried every means to leave the safe house to participate in the battlefield, but once Yang Yan did succeed, with the gambler's unique ability to deceive, Yang Yan got rid of the guards, and the final result was that Yang Yan did not make any contribution to the corpse battlefield, but killed two loyal and brave young men.

Since then, Yang Yan has clearly understood his position: he is not a father who has the ability to protect his son, but just a burden. As a burden who is powerless in the face of battle, the only way to help my son is to try to remain silent, not to make any noise, not to make a mess, so that my son can concentrate on his own business and not have to worry about the waste dad.

Most fathers willingly become stepping stones for their sons and devote their lives to sending their beloved children to higher places. Yang Yan belongs to this majority, but Yang Xiaoqian's rise rate is far faster than Yang Yan imagined, even in Yang Yan's wildest dreams, he never imagined that his son would become a prince of China, which is an achievement that many people struggle for all their lives and cannot obtain - many people will blur his age because of Yang Xiaoqian's means, strength and mystery, but Yang Yan will not forget that his son is only nineteen years old.

The higher you climb, the worse you fall, and the young and proud often end in tragedy, Yang Yan is deeply worried about this, and he almost can't sleep and sleep. As a father, he should stand up to protect his children at this time, but Yang Yan doesn't have this ability, so all Yang Yan can do is to remain calm, at least pretend to be calm to make Yang Xiaoqian feel at ease.

Whether it is a big nervous strip, a behavior that is off the line, a strange idea, or a gambling addiction, it is all an illusion that Yang Yan uses to hide his true thoughts, and he strives to convey a message to Yang Xiaoqian through this illusion: Dad is very good, Dad is business as usual, there is nothing you need to worry about, you must not feel guilty because of this, continue to go all out and do your own business.

In fact, this kind of disguise is not easy, because Yang Yan not only has to behave like this in front of Yang Xiaoqian, but also in front of everyone, including his wife Luo Fei, otherwise as long as anyone notices the slightest mistake, they will report to Yang Xiaoqian - as one of the few veterans of the Far Rescue Society, although Yang Yan does not have much real power, he still has certain resources, enough to find out his security level, and the investigation team's special attention to himself.

Fortunately, Yang Yan had enough time to adapt, and staying in Yuanjiang for more than half a year was enough for Yang Yan to slowly change his mentality and adapt to his new identity. But Luo Fei is different, it has been less than three months since the dome disappeared, it is difficult for an ordinary person to adapt to such a huge identity change, Luo Fei has not adapted to his noble status as the biological mother of the president of the Far Rescue Association, and he cannot understand Yang Yan's calmness.

Yang Yan's seemingly indifferent gesture made Luo Fei angry, but Luo Fei didn't deliberately open his mouth to cause a quarrel, Luo Fei just drank glass after glass, and kept pouring wine into his mouth.

I don't know if it was the effect of alcohol, the cold liquor flowed down his throat, but it didn't extinguish the anger in Lofe's heart, but made the fire stronger and stronger.

When Luo Fei picked up the corkscrew and was about to open the second bottle of wine, Yang Yan finally couldn't help but speak: "Drink less." ”

Luo Fei ignored Yang Yan and continued to twist the corkscrew, which was her way of expressing her dissatisfaction.

In the end, it is a husband and wife who have been together for more than 20 years, Luo Fei made a move and a look, Yang Yan knew what his wife was thinking, and couldn't help sighing, threw away the comic book in his hand as an ornament, stood up and helped Luo Fei uncork the bottle, poured half a cup for his wife, and poured half a cup for himself.

"Wife, do you think I don't care enough about Xiaoqian? Are you scolding me in your heart, my son is fighting outside, but I, a father, are smoking and drinking here? ”

Luo Fei gave Yang Yan a look that an old lady didn't want to talk to, especially didn't want to talk to you.

Yang Yan smiled bitterly, raised his head and drank the wine in the goblet, slapped his face, and shouted, "Peace!" Come here! ”

Yang Ping'an, who was lying on the ground next to him, staggered up, twisted his little buttocks bewitchingly, walked to Yang Yan's feet and sat down, panting for breath.

"Wife, you know that I don't really like to raise dogs, combing, bathing, shoveling feces and urine...... Trouble to death. Yang Yan touched Yang Ping'an's hairy head lovingly, and Ping'an fell down very happily, turned over to expose his belly, and looked at Yang Yan flatteringly.

"Didn't you keep asking me why I was safe?" Yang Yan stretched out his hand and gently scratched Ping'an's belly, and said softly, "At that time, we were on Jiangxin Island, and you may not believe it, not long after the dome fell, Xiao Qian became the ...... who ruled Paradise Island and Jiangxin Island It's a dictator. Since then, I have felt like there is a transparent wall between me and Xiao Qian. Xiao Qian is too busy, working day and night, except for some celebration banquets that have to be pretended, he even eats in the office, and he also has to listen to reports while eating. ”

Luo Fei was stunned, slowly put down the wine glass, and listened carefully, for more than two months, she often asked about her husband and son's experience in Yuanjiang, but Yang Yan would always divert the topic and avoid answering.

"Xiaoqian smokes, you know? I don't know when I smoked it, but I found out when I went back to Yuanjiang, and I was thinking, hey, it's not certain if I can live until tomorrow, what's wrong with smoking two cigarettes? So I didn't care anymore, and then Xiaoqian's power expanded like a snowball, I guess we can survive, but I still didn't let Xiaoqian quit smoking, because Xiaoqian is really tired, and I can't control him anymore, he is no longer a child, but a real man, a man who stands up to the sky, and holds up a piece of the sky for the people of Yuanjiang. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Yan's eyes gradually moistened, and Luo Fei reached out and rubbed Yang Yan's hand gently, she had never seen her husband cry silently like this.

"But Xiao Qian, he ...... He quit smoking, he actually quit smoking! Wife, you can't imagine what kind of life Xiao Qian is living, how much pressure he bears, he has no time for entertainment, the only way to release pressure is to smoke some cigarettes and drink some wine, but as a ruler of a big force, he must always keep his mind clear, so Xiao Qian rarely drinks, and then he doesn't even smoke anymore. No matter how he explained it to others, I knew in my heart that Xiaoqian knew that I was worried about his body and didn't want me to worry about him, so he quit smoking, although he hadn't completely quit until now, but he would only smoke one when he was very bored. ”

"Xiaoqian understands filial piety, I'm very happy, but I'm very painful, how did I become a useless waste, a waste who can't help my son and makes my son distracted and suffer? So I don't want Xiao Qian to be distracted by me anymore, and I don't want to see Xiao Qian make changes that I don't like for me, so I raised Ping An and let Xiao Qian be busy with his own things, I think of him and go to the corridor of his office to take a look twice, occasionally go in and sit down, and I spend more time with Ping An, and Ping An can relieve my boredom. ”

"As parents, it's already very bad that we can't help our son, we really can't think about our feelings selfishly anymore, even if we are not happy, we should pretend to be happy, so that Xiaoqian can concentrate on what we should do."

Luo Fei was silent for a long time, speechless, and the husband and wife snuggled up to each other and hugged each other.

"Lao Yang, what do you say is going on outside?"

"I don't know, we can ask the guard outside the door."

"Don't, don't ask, I'm afraid, I don't want to hear it...... Do you think Xiao Qian will be fine? ”

"I don't know. However, I am very sure that Xiao Qian will never go to the battlefield in person, unless ......"

"Unless?"

"It's nothing, Xiaoqian is very cautious, don't worry." Yang Yan patted Luo Fei lightly and added the last sentence in his heart.

Unless he has a reason to go, for example, to save the world.
