Duan Lengyan smiled, sat Tang Youtaola next to him, took a sip of the wine in the glass, and then put the quilt into her hands, "Drink a little more to quench your thirst, I'm afraid I won't have the courage to talk anymore when I walk out of this room.
"Okay, okay, it's okay with me." Tang Youtao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"I had a very happy childhood," Duan Lengyan's deep voice echoed slowly in the dark room, with a touching sadness. Tang Youtao couldn't help but hugged his arm tightly, "Dad is very cheerful.
I am very righteous, my mother is gentle and kind, and my family is well off. In the eyes of others, I am as perfect as a prince in a fairy tale. But all this changed drastically when I was nine years old. My father was diagnosed with an incurable disease.
disease, which was devastating news to our family. At first, my mother forced a smile in front of my father, but secretly cried all day long. My mother took care of my father day and night, taking care of my father in every possible way. The deep love of life and death between my father and my mother remains to this day.
It is still deeply buried in my mind. In my eyes, my mother at that time was the most beautiful and perfect woman in the world. But suddenly one day, everything changed... Duan Lengyan turned his face in pain.
Buried into his palms, Tang Youtao felt his body trembling slightly.
"Brother Yan..." Tang Youtao hugged his shoulders distressedly and patted his shoulders gently.
"When I was ten years old, my father's condition was getting worse day by day, and my mother was also very haggard. I always thought that my mother was worried about my father's condition, and always tried every means to please my father and make my mother happy, but... I didn't expect...
...Unexpectedly..." Duan Lengyan's voice was choked with sobs. He covered his cheek and tore the hair hanging in front of his forehead hard with his fingers.
"Brother Yan..." Seeing his painful look, Tang Youtao regretted it a little
Shouldn't she be forcing him like this?
"I never thought that my mother would run away with another man when my father was in the most difficult time and needed company the most..." Duan Lengyan's voice suddenly changed from sadness to indignation.
Tang Youtao has no doubt that if that man stood in front of Duan Lengyan at this moment, he would skin and eat him and cut him into pieces.
"Ah!" Tang Youtao exclaimed, never expecting that the perfect mother Duan Lengyan said would abandon their father and son at the most critical moment.
"Brother Yan..." Tang Youtao hugged Duan Lengyan and patted his back with both hands, soothing his sadness and anger.
Duan Lengyan also hugged her back hard, as if tightly holding the only world he had left.
It took a long time for Duan Lengyan to calm down.
When he raised his head and met Tang Youtao's clear and caring eyes, he knew that at this moment she already knew all the pain and privacy that he had buried in his heart. He felt a little embarrassed and looked away from her attentive gaze.
"Brother Yan, don't you think there's something fishy about what you said?" Tang Youtao looked at Duan Lengyan seriously and asked
"What's weird?" Duan Lengyan shook his head, "I didn't feel it."
In fact, he has never thought about this matter in detail.
Because in these years, whenever he thought of the word "Mom" and his mother's gentle smile, he felt a sharp pain that cut out his heart, making him unable to think about anything.
