Chapter 265: The Pain of Abandonment
"Childe, it's time for dinner."
The door to the only room on the tenth floor opened, and a woman dressed as a maid walked in with some food and closed the door.
In the room sat a humble boy of about twenty years old, his eyes covered with white strips, and he was also dressed in white clothes and white hats.
The whole person revealed a sickly feeling, and I had to admit that his skin was fair, the bridge of his nose was high, and his eyes were covered by white cloth strips with a pair of sword eyebrows.
The man hummed softly.
"Childe, it's your favorite Zhao sisters who are singing today, and Madame is here for you." The woman serving him said as she put the dish on the table.
The man chuckled, and then said disdainfully: "Ah Qian, you don't have to speak for her, she is not for me, but for the business of the restaurant." ”
Seeing her thinking about her own mother like this, Ah Qian didn't know what to say, for so many years, there has always been an unbridgeable gap between mother and son.
Lin Boxuan's eyes were indeed blind because of his mother.
It was his mother who accidentally spilled hot soup into Lin Boxuan's eyes when he was very young, and she didn't choose to treat him in time at that time, but left Lin Boxuan who was crying and walked away, maybe she was scared.
When Lin Boxuan's father came home and saw such a situation, he immediately took him to be treated, only to find that it was too late, and the eyes were already blind.
He looked around for Ye Qiao, that is, Lin Boxuan's mother, his wife, but she had no news for a long time, and no one knew where she went.
He also learned later that his son's eyes would be blind because of Ye Qiao.
For all these years, he had been trying to find someone to heal his son's eyes, and finally he was robbed and killed by bandits on the way to find a healer.
The people of the village looked at the child pitifully, and could not bear to tell him that his father had died, so they lied to him that his father had gone to a far away place to do business, and would come back to pick him up when he had time.
The people in the village took turns to take care of Lin Boxuan, and this care was eight years, and later, he gradually understood that his father had passed away.
He didn't cry or make a fuss, he just started to become taciturn.
He has long been accustomed to being taken care of by the elders in the village, although he can't see with his own eyes, but he can help himself, and the neighbors have also taught him many blind survival skills.
Just when he thought everything was going to be on track, the mother who had abandoned him appeared.
Now her restaurant is getting bigger and bigger, and she has the ability to support him, but she is unwilling to go back, in his heart, she is no longer his mother, so there is no need to follow her.
The neighbor, who did not know the facts, persuaded him to go back with his mother, so that at least someone could take care of him.
In fact, everyone was reluctant to leave Lin Boxuan, after all, they were all children they watched grow up, but he and Ye Qiao had an inseparable blood relationship.
They are their own mother and son, and their blood is thicker than water, so what can they say?
Later, Lin Boxuan also followed Ye Qiao, he just didn't want to trouble everyone anymore, they had taken care of themselves for eight years, and it was time for them to rest.
Lin Boxuan has been living on the tenth floor since he came to Dongwu Building, which was arranged by Ye Qiao, so that he can't go out, Ye Qiao is putting him under house arrest, but maybe he is afraid of losing him.
However, Lin Boxuan's heart did not forgive this woman, not because she made her blind, but because she abandoned herself.
"Ah Qian, I want to go to the Lantern Festival in two days." Lin Boxuan said with a bowl.
"Childe, there are too many people at the Lantern Festival, and besides, Madame won't let me go." Ah Qian was very embarrassed, he was hired by Ye Qiao's money, and he was equivalent to Ye Qiao's person.
If you take Lin Boxuan to the Lantern Festival, isn't that a loss of your job?
"Ah Qian, I haven't asked for anything for so long, and now this one request can't meet me?" Lin Boxuan began to sell miserably, he just wanted to escape from this place.
The days of being locked up in his room every day were suffocating to him.
Ah Qian was still very embarrassed, and at this time, Lin Boxuan spoke again: "When the time comes, you can just pull me, and it will be fine." ”
"Okay." Ah Qian hesitated for a long time, but finally agreed, she just felt that Lin Boxuan was very pitiful, she was in this house all year round, and she never went out.
Even if he can't see with his eyes, it's good to be able to go out and feel the feelings.
When night fell, the entire Yangzhou city was darkened, Lin Boxuan fumbled and pushed open the window, and a cold wind blew in, but he didn't feel the cold at all.
He even began to fantasize that it would be nice if this gust of wind could take him away.
"Childe, you have a cold."
As soon as Ah Qian entered the door, he felt the chill, and immediately ran to Lin Boxuan's side and closed the window tightly.
In an instant, the whirring wind in my ears disappeared, and the room returned to a terrible state of silence.
He reluctantly groped his way back to the bed, leaning on the edge of the bed, his mood was very complicated, thinking about where he could go if he really escaped from here? Where can you tolerate yourself?
Perhaps, there is no place where he can accommodate himself, but he also clearly knows that he must not stay here.
"Ah Qian."
A familiar voice sounded in Lin Boxuan's ears, it was Ye Qiao.
When Ah Qian saw Ye Qiao coming in, he exited the room very familiarly, and it was not suitable for him to stay there on this occasion.
"It's been so long, and you're still holding a grudge against me?"
Lin Boxuan didn't speak, just sat on the edge of the bed blankly, probably because his eyes were blindfolded, and he couldn't see what kind of expression he was.
"I really didn't mean to."
Ye Qiao has said this sentence many times, but Lin Boxuan doesn't care whether she does it on purpose or not, she only knows that as a mother, she can't abandon her own son.
"That year, I was ten years old, and I cried after you burned my eyes, and you ran away regardless of it, and you said you didn't mean it, do you believe it yourself?"
Ye Qiao was speechless when asked by Lin Boxuan's words, yes, even she couldn't believe it.
At that time, she was really frightened, but when she thought that she would have to take care of Lin Boxuan all the time in the future and live a poor life, she couldn't stand it.
I have been working hard all these years to have a place in Yangzhou City, but whenever I think of Lin Boxuan, my heart aches faintly.
finally found him and wanted to make amends, only to find out that it was too late, but she was still trying her best to make amends, whether he accepted it or not.
"If it's passed, let it pass." Ye Qiao also walked to the side of the bed, took his hand and said, tears also fell.
