Chapter 18: The Cruel Reality
Lin Lin cleaned up and cooked rice for Lin Hao to eat.
After Lin Hao finished eating, he grabbed Lin Lin, who was about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
"I'm sorry, brother is so useless, and I want you to waste your studies to take care of me." Lin Hao took Lin Lin's hand and told affectionately.
Lin Hao's tone was too heavy and sad, which made the atmosphere extremely low for a while.
"What did brother say, we are brothers and sisters, and we should take care of you. I also review every day, it's not wasteful, you don't have to blame yourself. Lin Lin persuaded.
"It's all useless, you can't get rid of him, and you will harm us like this." Lin Hao was a little emotional.
Lin Lin hugged Lin Hao and said, "Brother, let's go home, let's stay away from him." ”
"Impossible, Xiao Lin, you have no idea how terrifying his abilities are. If I run away from him now......"
Lin Hao fantasized about that result, and finally panicked and said, "Impossible, impossible." No matter where I go, as long as he Shi Yanyu wants to find me, I can't escape anywhere. ”
Lin Lin said sadly: "Is there no way?" Brother, do you know that I was almost scared to death when I saw you in the hospital, Shi Yanyu is a demon, if you continue to be with him, you will be killed by him sooner or later. ”
"Xiao Lin, it's not a question of whether I want to or not, the decision is not in my hands." Lin Hao frowned in distress.
He can't leave now, and his family can't escape here. Shi Yanyu is a demon, a person who regards human life as a child's play, once he escapes, Xiao Lin and they may not be able to live, he can't be so selfish.
"Xiao Lin, don't worry, my brother will live well, and he won't do anything to me for the time being." Lin Hao comforted Lin Lin and comforted himself.
Will he be able to take his family with him?
Is it worth it to let my father abandon the place where he has lived for most of his life for the sake of Shi Yanyu?
Lin Hao was extremely distressed but helpless, only now did he know that he knew very little about Shi Yanyu, and even less about his character and life situation.
Perhaps, by grasping Shi Yanyu's weakness, he doesn't have to live so embarrassed, and he doesn't have to be threatened by him all the time.
"Brother, is it okay to go home with me, we can always think of a way when we are together as a family."
"No need, it's my fault, I'll solve it myself."
"But ......" Lin Lin said with a crying voice, "I don't worry, don't worry, if you are still in the hospital bed next time we meet, I will be distressed to death, you will be by my side, be by my father's side." Lin Lin cried as she spoke.
Lin Hao hurriedly wiped Lin Lin's tears and hugged her tightly in his arms.
"Okay, don't cry, I promise you, I promise you." After thinking about it, Lin Hao still agreed.
Lin Lin stopped crying and looked at Lin Hao with teary eyes, "Don't lie to me?" ”
"Of course, in this life, everyone will lie, but he will not lie to you." Lin Hao said with a smile.
"Then go home with me tomorrow, Dad misses you too, as long as you admit your mistakes, we will be together again." Lin Lin hurriedly said.
Lin Hao looked not far away with empty eyes, "...... Good. ”
Lin Lin hugged Lin Hao excitedly, and the two hugged each other tightly, in this lonely and cold world, the feelings of the brother and sister made them infinitely warm.
Bai Linhao woke up with fish belly, he had slept too much in the hospital in the past few days, and now he didn't feel sleepy, and he also had troubles and couldn't sleep with peace of mind.
In order to prepare for tomorrow's affairs, Lin Lin also rushed back at night. Lin Hao didn't know what Lin Lin was going to prepare, but after all, he was a one-bedroom apartment and left his sister to live here, after all, the two of them were so old.
Lin Hao got up in the morning and started to dress up, choosing a suit is too formal, he saw that his father is not an old man, and the casual clothes bar is too casual, after all, he is going back this time to ask for guilt.
Tangled and entangled Lin Hao didn't choose well, and after Lin Lin arrived, he let Lin Hao put on a random piece of clothing.
After getting in the car, Lin Hao was like a bag under his buttocks. Lin Lin also saw that Lin Hao was flustered and anxious, but she was not ready to speak, this step would have to be taken sooner or later.
"It's... Where is this going? The unfamiliar environment on the side of the road made Lin Hao suspicious.
"Brother, don't be surprised if you see anything later, okay?" Lin Lin said heavily.
Lin Hao was shocked.
"What's wrong?"
"Don't ask, you'll be home soon, and you'll understand it all." Lin Lin dodged and refused to answer the question.
"What happened to Xiao Lin? Tell me, tell me quickly. Inexplicably, Lin Hao panicked.
Lin Lin turned her head and didn't speak, Lin Hao still kept asking, and it didn't take long for the car to stop, and the two got out of the car.
Lin Hao looked at everything unfamiliar, and his heart skipped a beat.
The buildings in front of me are extremely old, and some of them are mud houses, surrounded by houses, and the space is very narrow.
Lin Lin walked forward, and Lin Hao looked around step by step with a stunned face.
Walking through the alleys, Lin Hao was almost confused.
"Brother, let's go in." Lin Lin stood in front of a brick house and pushed the door open.
Lin Hao's heart was empty, and he walked in with staggering steps.
The room was cold and damp, and the yellow light on the roof was extremely dazzling, and Lin Hao didn't believe everything in front of him.
Lin Lin closed the door and turned on all the lights in the house, and Lin Hao noticed that there was not even a window in the house.
Lin Lin walked to the big table and poured water.
"Where's Dad? Where is he? How do you end up living in a place like this? Lin Hao asked in horror.
The truth was too shocking, and Lin Hao's voice trembled.
"Dad works in a nearby factory and will be back soon, and I'll tell you everything when the time comes."
"It's all ...... Because of me? Is it because of me that you have fallen like this? ”
"Brother, you don't have to blame yourself, it's not your fault, it's Dad's choice to move, it's none of your business." Lin Lin persuaded.
"If I didn't have to marry Shi Yanyu, if I hadn't fled timidly, how would you have become like this." Lin Hao roared excitedly: "What has happened in the past few years? ”
Lin Hao trembled, and his heart ached from heavy self-blame.
Lin Lin rushed up and hugged Lin Hao tightly, "Brother, believe me, all this is not your fault, not your fault." ”
"Xiao Lin, don't lie to me, brother will have to bear the wrong things sooner or later, don't lie to me."
"Brother......" Lin Lin burst into tears and shouted excitedly.
Lin Hao's tears also swirled in his eyes, and the cruelty of reality made him almost unsteady. He never thought that his departure would bring his family to this point, because of him, what kind of humiliation and embarrassment his family had suffered.
All the unknowns weighed heavily on Lin Hao's shoulders. He didn't even dare to imagine how depressed his dearest and most loved person had been in the past few years because of him.
The thick self-blame made Lin Hao start to cry, and the full distress made his heart ache even more.
