23. The Darkness of the Wild Stream of Flowers (3)
What's the use of knowing? is like those shrews scolding the street on the street, of course she knows that she is not a thing, but as long as she doesn't admit it and her voice is loud enough, then no one can defeat her, Chu Tianjiao is such a person.
Chu Zihan doesn't want to deal with him anymore, people will always get tired, especially when they toss and turn repeatedly on the same matter, the prodigal son who is full of lies tells you that he can turn around and not change the money, will you believe him? Anyway, no matter how many things he says, he is still this virtue, and it is the same with or without those secrets.
I still remember the previous junior high school entrance ceremony, which coincided with Lu Tianming and Su Xiaoyan's wedding anniversary, and they flew to Ireland for a vacation. Chu Zihan thought about it for a long time, and called Chu Tianjiao and said if you don't come.
He was very happy, but he was a little hesitant, saying that others knew that I was not your parent. Chu Zihan said, you just say it's my uncle. He didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said with a smile Then you also remember to tell my uncle not to leak his mouth.
As a result, on the day of the entrance ceremony, Chu Zihan was the only student who did not stand behind her parents, she stood in the first place on behalf of the freshmen, delivered an admission speech, and the principal awarded her a generous freshman scholarship. As the first place in admission, she originally wanted to surprise Chu Tianjiao and let him grow face.
This kind of thing has happened many times, always no-show, no-show, no-show, since you can't do it, don't always nod with promise, it will only bring disappointment countless times.
In contrast, stepfather Lu Tianming is obviously much better than his biological father, no matter how busy people are, there is at least one fixed day every month, and on that day, Lu Tianming will turn off all social interactions, turn off his mobile phone, and go out with his family for a whole day.
There is a photo version of a whole wall in the stacked villa study at home, which is full of family photos every time the family goes out, Chu Zihan always loves to hug Chu Zihan with all kinds of funny, Chu Zihan always stands with his mother and holds hands, Lu Tianming is always the iconic mature smile standing behind them with open arms, and the date is also marked below, neatly, anyone who comes and sees it will feel that their reorganized family is a happy family.
So what reason is there to think that he Chu Tianjiao is good? Just because he's the biological father? There are no less garbage parents in the world, and Chu Tianjiao is not to that point compared to them, but it is not much better.
"I'm sorry." Chu Tianjiao whispered that he had already touched the cigarette box in his hand, and he wanted to smoke two, but immediately remembered that his daughter was still in the car, so he silently threw away the cigarette box and stepped on the soles of his feet.
"You don't have to apologize to me, I've heard too many of the same things, and I don't feel it for a long time." Chu Zihan said that she felt that she should have lost her temper or something, but in the end she didn't want to do anything, maybe this is the case when she is disappointed in someone, you will be angry because of him because you still care about him, if one day you can't even lose your temper with him, then it is probably time to say goodbye.
Chu Tianjiao turned on the car stereo on his own initiative, and in the melodious playing and singing, it was the "Daily Growing" by the Irish band Altan.
The trees they grow high,the leaves tehy do grow green,
Many is the time my true love I‘ve seen,
Many an hour I have watched him all alone,
He’s young but he‘s daily growing.
Father,dear father,you’ve done me great wrong,
You have married me to a boy who is too young,
I am twice twelve and he is but fourteen,
He’s yong but he’s daily growing.
Chu Zihan listened to the song quietly, she could understand all the lyrics, saying that a father married his twenty-four-year-old daughter to a fourteen-year-old rich child, and the daughter was unwilling, worried that she would be old when her husband grew up. But the father said that his arrangement was correct, she married her daughter to a rich young man, and when he was old, her daughter would have someone to rely on.
Unfortunately, the rich boy died before he grew up, and the daughter was very sad and knitted a shroud for him with flannel on the grassy cemetery.
This song is really annoying, and it is so sad to listen to.
"It's boring." Chu Zihan said softly.
The appearance of this song is not out of place, it is obvious that Chu Tianjiao deliberately put it in the car, he is a person who came back from studying in Chicago, of course he understands "Daily Growing", and he usually has to deliberately wear a little accent even when he speaks English, as if he doesn't understand and pretends to understand.
He gave this song to his daughter wordlessly, because he and the old father in the song are the same people, doing the same thing, he can't take good care of his daughter himself, he can only entrust her to someone who can be good to her, think that if Lu Tianming is a bastard stepfather, covering Chu Yi all day long and bullying them together, Chu Tianjiao may drive Maybach into the stacked villa and blow himself up, and he can only do this.
But in Chu Zihan's opinion, these are really just his self-touching, since he cares so much, why didn't he think of a way to leave them all in the first place? The mistakes you make should always be perfect, not saying that I can't do it, and then a person silently says that it is good enough to have a new person who is willing to take care of you, and feels that he is still a character.
"There are some things that you will always understand in the future." Chu Tianjiao didn't turn off the stereo, but just said the lines he should have as usual, full of adult flavor.
"Do you think I'll be like you in the future?" Chu Zihan sneered.
"As a half-blood, you'll have to leave your world one day, and then you'll understand that dragon's blood is a burden by nature, and that's why you're so different, smart enough, but lonely all the time." Chu Tianjiao sighed, "I admit it, it's all my fault, I failed to keep my bottom line, but I'm also a person, love is such a thing, it will always come inexplicably and turbulently." If you want to scold me, I'll listen, I've only been sorry for two people in this world, one is Xiaoyan, and the other is you. ”
"If I will become like you in the future, just because of this bullshit blood, then I would rather die, so that at least I will not be sorry for anyone. Unlike you, I have never owed anyone in my life. Chu Zihan couldn't stand the air in the car for a moment, "Stop, I want to get out of the car." ”
Maybach slowly leaned towards the side of the road, and before the car could stop, Chu Zihan had already pushed the car door, and the wind and rain were coming, but this feeling seemed to be a hundred times more comfortable than the atmosphere in the car.
"It's okay if you don't want to stay with me, but at least remember to bring an umbrella, otherwise you'll catch a cold tomorrow." In the open car door, Chu Tianjiao handed over a large black umbrella.
Chu Zihan pulled it over, deliberately using a lot of force, and the umbrella handle slashed sharply in his hand, leaving a blood-colored trace on the slightly sharp edge.
"Remember to be careful on the road, if you encounter that kind of thing again, don't be merciful, find a trail where no one speaks to solve it." Chu Tianjiao said, "I know you don't want to see me, ...... in the future I'll try not to meet with you, and if I need something, I'll call that number. ”
"Don't bother you, a dragon-slaying hero, you didn't care much about me before, so why bother to start acting like it now?" Chu Zihan opened her umbrella and stood in the monstrous rain curtain, looking at Chu Tianjiao coldly, she was enough to restrain her anger, and if she continued, she didn't know what more hurtful things she would say.
She is very beautiful even if she is angry, and her rare face is full of stubbornness, like a female knight who does not admit defeat and looks at you in some games. If her relationship with Chu Tianjiao was not so bad, he would be happy to take her out every week in a Maybach, even if he didn't buy anything or have a luxurious meal, just teaching her to drive would be more pleasing to her than going to an amusement park as a family.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
"If one day I'm gone, then when I'm dead, anyway, people like me, out of sight and out of mind, I hope you can remember to set up a monument for me, it would be better to have a bunch of gentian flowers, I like gentian flowers."
Chu Tianjiao smiled reluctantly, but his laughter was more ugly than crying at this moment. Most of the time he is a person who is good at disguising himself, but in front of Chu Zihan, any disguise is useless, his daughter is certainly not his intimate little padded jacket, but she knows his truest side better than anyone else.
"Well, if there really is a day, I will buy a truckload every year and give your monument a bath, so that your Maybach will not always smell so bad cheap smoke."
She finally dropped a mean word and walked away without looking back, Chu Tianjiao's last assumption made her even more angry, and that kind of thing was almost as if he was going to apologize for his sins with death. Please, what age? Idol dramas are not popular anymore, and if you make a mistake and you won't do anything, you will say that you will die and throw the rest of the mess to the living, which is a more disgusting choice than putting rotten waste.
Why do you like gentian flowers, do you think you don't know what gentian flowers mean? The flower language of the flower is to like to see you when you are sad, because its roots are as bitter as gentian. How? Could it be that he has been haunted by the divorce of two adults, but he still appreciates it?
The stereo in the car was still playing that song, Chu Tianjiao sat in the car, watching her back farther and farther away, he turned out the flattened cigarette box again, the flames of the lighter curled, and the smell of inferior tobacco in his lungs was actually not a comfortable taste at all.
But at this time, it seems that only this cigarette can dispel the sorrow in my heart.
He looked up at the sky in the distance, and the rolling black clouds were like waves, and the rain was overwhelming, and in a matter of seconds, it was sprinkled all over the sad city, as if God was also crying sadly.
When Chu Zihan returned home, Chu Yi leaned outside the door and waited for her, watched her appear from a distance, ran over the floor tiles in the garden with an umbrella like a joy, and held the umbrella above her head for the first time.
"You don't even bring an umbrella with you in such a heavy rain, why don't you tell me? Are you going to play some kind of performance art? Chu Yi hummed and complained.
She really didn't bring an umbrella, although she took a handful from Chu Tianjiao when she left, but that kind of thing was really too lazy to use, so she threw it in the trash can, and maybe she felt better in the rain, anyway, she had never had a cold or fever, and that kind of human illness seemed to stay away from her, and it could be that her body had always been very good.
"Forget." Chu Zihan smiled and replied with two words, seeing Chu Zhi, her mood would rarely get better, and she had to be the closest to her sister, no matter when, she would always be the one standing by her side
"Next time, no matter what happens to you, I'll wait until you're done before coming back with you! Obviously, he is a person who usually does things, but he is sloppy in this kind of thing about himself! Chu Zhi's face was full of fierceness, but his mouth was full of warm words, and he entered the house with Chu Zihan.
