Chapter 47: Bitterness
Until there was a knock at the door, Jiang Sui reacted and began to arrange his hair.
"You can come in!"
With Jiang Sui's permission, Si Nian opened the door and walked in with a small white porcelain bowl.
"When did you wake up?"
Jiang Sui raised his eyes and looked at Si Nian, and replied softly, "I just woke up." β
Si Nian stretched out his feet and hooked the stool next to him and sat down on it.
"When I woke up, I drank millet porridge to nourish my stomach."
Si Nian stretched out his long arm and handed the white porcelain bowl to Jiang Sui.
Jiang Sui also reached out to pick it up, but his hands were shrunk by the hot temperature on the bowl and pinched his earlobe.
Si Nian raised his eyebrows: "It's hot?" β
Jiang Sui nodded seriously.
Si Nian withdrew his arm again, lowered his head and silently stirred the porridge in the bowl with a spoon, and gently blew into the bowl from time to time.
Jiang Sui looked at Si Nian quietly, his movements were gentle, and he was patient.
How can there be such a gentle and attentive man in this world?
He is so good, how can anyone be willing to hurt him like that?
Watching him silently from the sidelines, Jiang Sui began to feel pantothenic acid in his eyes.
Jiang Sui had to work hard to restrain her emotions, she wanted to behave normally in front of Si Nian.
If you can only cry and cry, what should you do?
"Okay, you try, is it still hot?"
Jiang Sui raised his head slightly and blinked, then looked at Si Nian and gave him a sweet smile.
"Brother, the bowl must still be hot, why don't you feed me?"
In the face of Jiang Sui's coquettishness, Si Nian always had no choice.
He couldn't help but shake his head as he gently handed the spoon of the porridge to Jiang Sui's mouth.
Jiang Sui took a sip of the porridge from the spoon, chewing and swallowing hard while forcing himself to smile at Si Nian.
"Porridge, it's so fragrant!"
It's obviously bitter.
Si Nian saw Jiang Sui's strong expression, but he didn't make a sound.
He handed another spoonful of porridge to Jiang Sui's mouth, Jiang Sui swallowed it in one gulp, but felt that the porridge was really difficult to swallow.
She was a little disgusting.
In order not to let Si Nian find out, she covered her mouth with one hand and forced herself to swallow again.
This bite is a bit long.
Si Nian sighed and put the white porcelain bowl on the bedside table.
"Years old, if you can't eat, you won't eat, and if you can't help crying, I'm okay!"
He saw it all! He knows everything!
Jiang Sui curled up his knees and lowered his head.
Bean-sized tears fell and hit the back of her white hand.
"Brother, I know everything, I know everything about you."
Jiang Sui's voice was low, with a slight choked voice.
Si Nian was silent for a while, and then calmly responded: "Hmm." β
Just now, Wu Chunhao had already called him.
"How could they be so despicable, how could they frame you like that?"
Jiang Sui used a soft voice, as if pouring out his inner grievances.
Hearing into Si Nian's ears, his heart suddenly moved.
His girl believed in him!
She was willing to believe that he hadn't done anything like that, for no apparent reason!
There were unspeakable emotions in his heart, and his eyes were hot unconsciously.
"Brother, I didn't expect that the Si family, they would be despicable to such an extent."
Si Young sighed and said, "In that circle, there is only interests, no family affection. I also found out later, so I wanted to desperately escape, but I was already in the center of the vortex, and it was not so easy to escape. β
Si Nian said that since he returned to the Si family, Si Yue hated him for snatching away his identity as the heir of the Si family, whether at home or at school, he would punish him when he got the opportunity.
Although the old man loves him on the surface and takes a fancy to him, he still looks down on his mother in private, and even controls him very strictly.
He couldn't eat what he liked because the old man said it was unhealthy.
He can't associate with like-minded people, because the old man says those people are not worthy.
He couldn't go to his favorite foreign language class anymore because the old man said, "What's the use of that? The superior can solve it with money. β
The affairs of the group are very busy, and the old man is often not at home, but he will still keep a pair of eyes around him to monitor him, and his every move will be reported, except for the dirty things that the mother and son of the second room have done to him, those eyes will be selectively blind.
Even outsiders can see that he is the most humble one in that family, so no one cares about his feelings.
He follows the old man's arrangement step by step every day, learns what he doesn't like, and does what he doesn't like.
He said, "That Si Nian was like a puppet, a robot. β
"Why don't you go home? If you're not happy, you can go home, my mother, and my grandmother and I have been thinking about you......"
Jiang Sui wiped the tears from his face, looked up at Si Nian, and asked him with a serious expression.
Si Nian smiled bitterly, her little girl was still so naΓ―ve.
"I don't want you to see me like a walking corpse, I want to be sunny and positive in your impression."
Also, I can't afford to trouble the people I love the most!
If he leaves, no matter where he goes, the old man will not let go of the people around him.
His methods, Si Nian is not unseen.
When he was forced to return to Si's house, the old man threatened him with Uncle Jiang's life.
He said that Jiang Guodong was abroad, and no one would suspect that even if he died unexpectedly.
At that time, his little girl was only so big, how could he put her at risk of losing her father?
Although Jiang Guodong doesn't often live at home, he will always be the little girl's support, and he can't replace him anyway.
Both were silent for a while.
Jiang Sui felt that he had some stomach pain, so he took the initiative to pick up the porridge on the bedside table and continue to drink, the temperature was just right at this time.
"You have something like that, old man of the Si family, just watch it?"
How is it also his grandson!
Si Nian sneered: "Tube! What's the matter? He just quickly suppressed this scandal that was very shameless for the Si family, in order to prevent the news from spreading, in order to end it as soon as possible, he could coerce me to confess his guilt without asking the truth. β
"Coercion?"
Jiang Sui couldn't believe that there was such a biological grandfather in this world.
At this point, Jiang Sui finally understood why Si Nian, who was already in the quagmire, was willing to reach out to help Xiaohai.
Because he envied Xiaohai from the bottom of his heart that he had a grandfather who understood him and trusted him, and envied their grandparents.
This is something that Si Nian will never be able to reach.
Si Nian didn't continue, and there was silence in the room again, only the spoon in Jiang Sui's hand and the white porcelain bowl made a slight collision sound.
After eating up the porridge in the bowl in a few bites, and finally feeling more comfortable in his stomach, Jiang Sui put the white porcelain bowl back on the bedside table.
She lowered her head, hesitated in her heart for a long time, and finally asked.
"That'...... When was it sentenced? β
After asking, Jiang Sui cautiously raised his eyes to look at Si Nian.
Si Nian first looked at Jiang Sui for a moment, and then glanced away, as if he had fallen into a long memory.
"It should be the fall of my senior year, October 8th."
Si Nian's voice replied calmly, without a little fluctuation.
Jiang Sui secretly pinched his fingers to count the days.
October 8 was three months and ten days earlier than January 18 of the following year.
That day was the day when Jiang Sui's mother left her forever.
It only took three months for my mother to pass away forever on January 18 of the following year from the middle of October when she was diagnosed with advanced bone cancer.
No wonder!
Is it any wonder that no matter how she contacted Si Nian at that time, he never appeared?
He has long since lost his freedom, how can you let him be with you again?
At that time, Jiang Sui was a little resentful of Si Nian, resenting him for no longer contacting him, hating him for not coming back to see his seriously ill mother, and not even attending her funeral.
At that time, Jiang Sui could only be alone, cooperating with the staff of the funeral home to deal with his mother's funeral, and on the other hand, he had to take care of his grandmother who fell ill because the white-haired person sent the black-haired person too much.
It wasn't until the day of her mother's burial that Jiang Guodong rushed back from abroad with a stubble on his face.
That day, Jiang Guodong was a big man, crying embarrassedly.
Jiang Sui didn't know if he was true or fake.
And Jiang Sui, as a daughter, did not shed a single tear.
She thought that she had no one to rely on, her father couldn't be relied on, and Si Nian had no news.
From then on, she still had to rely on her grandmother.
So for a long time afterward, she didn't dare to cry during the day, for fear of making a mistake, and for fear of arousing her grandmother's sadness.
At night, she hid in the quilt and cried and trembled, missing Si Nian very much, and she was extremely resentful of Si Nian.
But how could she have thought that Si Nian was also in such a difficult situation at that time?
"I thought you deliberately didn't come back to your mother's funeral, I thought you didn't want us anymore!"
Until this moment, Jiang Sui understood everything, she was a little sad, her heart hurt one by one, and tears fell one by one, falling on the back of her hand, and finally on Si Nian's palm.
Si Nian didn't know when he had already sat on the edge of the bed, he held up Jiang Sui's tearful face with his palm, his eyes were full of affection, and his voice was low like a lure.
"How so? You have always been in my heart. β
Hearing Si Nian's soft words, Jiang Sui finally couldn't control it, and threw himself into Si Nian's arms and hugged him tightly, howling and crying.
For himself, but also for Si Nian.
Si Nian stroked Jiang Sui's soft broken hair like a kitten, and the voice brushed slightly on the side of her ear, like a warm spring breeze.
He said, "Never again......"
Never again leave you alone to face grief.
Si Nian's words were not finished, but Jiang Sui understood.
She nodded in Si Nian's arms again and again.
Time flies like a white horse, the sun and the moon rotate, at this moment, they only have each other.
After a long time, Jiang Sui raised his head from Si Nian's arms and looked up at him, with a look of pity in his eyes.
Her voice was low and soft, like a ball of cotton.
"Is it hard to stand there?"
Si Nian bent his lips and lightly hooked the strand of hair that Jiang Sui had just messed up in his arms, pinned it behind his ear.
The voice replied softly: "It's okay......"
What's okay?
Jiang Sui can imagine what kind of life he lives in it, and how difficult his life is!
He's comforting you and telling you not to feel sorry for him!
But Jiang Sui really couldn't help but feel sad.
She buried her head in Si Nian's chest again, endured it, and cried quietly, wetting one of Si Nian's clothes.
Her tears were a little hot, and they were shed for herself.
Si Nian's heart tightened, and his arms tightened unconsciously.
He was reluctant to tell his girl about the inhuman treatment he had suffered inside.
He didn't say anything, she was already crying like this, if she knew about it, what would she have to be sad about?
He didn't dare to imagine.
In fact, among them, the strong/strong offender is the most despised, and the person who looks down on you also includes discipline.
I remember that on the morning of October 8, when the verdict was handed down and he dropped his appeal, he was already disheartened.
Ten days later, he was handed over to Shenhai No. 1 Prison.
On the first day of his imprisonment, the warden who sent him to the prison said to his roommates: "This guy is a rapist, don't fool around!" β
When he heard this, his face burned terribly.
It was the first time he had realized from someone else how shameful this charge was.
