[Invisible Scarecrow] 21: He's doing better than me!
－－－－－－－－
"I'll give you a choice, follow me or follow her?"
A cold voice exploded in the living room along with the rumbling thunder outside, followed by a bolt of lightning that cut through the haze of the night, illuminating the indoor hall brightly with a pale light, a sharp coldness, and a needle glow.
Like to pierce someone's chest.
The child lying on the floor-to-ceiling glass window did not turn his face in time. Instead, he faced the glass window that cast his shadow. His little face was slightly raised, and his two small hands placed on the glass window slowly
Slide down and then slowly hold on, turn around, and run towards the door without hesitation.
His steps were too small, but he ran in that direction with all his strength. It seemed that if he took a step slower, the door would be cruelly closed. However, when he was about to run to the door, he fell down with a thud. He ran
It was too fast, the floor was too slippery, and the fall was hard. I don’t know where it hit with a bang. The child who fell on the floor didn’t get up for a long time, but stretched out his arms to exert force.
He crawled in that direction, dragging his whole body forward with the strength of his two small arms.
"Chengjia, Chengjia-ah--", outside the Si family's garden villa, Lin Xuejing, who wished she could shrink her face twice as small and poked in to take a look, saw her son on the transparent glass wall.
She suddenly threw away her small body and ran towards the door. She saw the door open automatically. She saw her son running towards her, but he fell down at the door. She screamed and banged her hands hard.
Tiemen used his whole body more crazily than before, shouting his son's name constantly, and his emotions were completely out of control.
Shu Ran in the car hugged Mei Yangyang who was crying stupidly. Mei Yangyang still had the mobile phone in her hand and was dialing her father's number. Mr. Shang on the other side of the phone was unable to sit still and wanted to come out to find her mother and daughter.
When the two of them received the call, they heard their daughter screaming and crying before they even spoke, "Dad, dad come quickly -"
There was a strong wind outside and a torrential rain, which covered up the cries outside the garden. In the hall, the old housekeeper saw that the child had fallen and couldn't get up and wanted to help him up, but was stopped by a look from Si Lan next to him.
, the old housekeeper's throat was so choked up that he saw the man standing next to him with a face as white as ice, and the glare in his eyes was like passing through layers of dark clouds and being dyed a deep black color.
"Every choice means you have to endure unexpected consequences. Have you thought about the consequences before making a choice?" Si Lan's voice suddenly seemed like a different person.
Feeling miserable, his eyes looked straight at the thick clouds outside the sky. Deep in his eyes, it was as if he had traveled through the years until he reached the original place. His mind moved, and something was stirred deep in his heart.
, the image of the child turning away is very similar to that of his childhood——
Does he think the same thing now as he did at that time?
Do you feel that no matter how torturous or bleak the future may be, as long as you stay where you want to be most and see the people you want to see most, you will have nothing to fear and nothing to worry about?
Actually, no--
Those who want to leave will always leave, and those who want to leave will never stay!
The rumbling thunder made the whole building tremble. Chengjia, who was moving and crawling at the door, suddenly slowly and with difficulty climbed up from the ground. His small body turned his back to the person standing in the living room, and his figure was illuminated by the lightning.
Lonely and indifferent, his steps were frozen in place. He looked at his mother outside the iron gate who was crying so anxiously that her voice was hoarse. He had been hanging in his eyes for a long time and refused to fall down.
Tears finally fell. He had made the final decision before hearing the words behind him. He also proved his decision with practical actions, but at this moment, he became confused because of this decision.
.
If, without me, my mother would live a good life, she would not work overtime until late every day just to make more money to treat my illness; if without me, she would find someone who likes her, and she will
No need to worry about whether I will be hesitant because I don’t like the other person. You have wasted time for me; if it weren’t for me, she wouldn’t be in such pain, and she wouldn’t be desperate when someone else’s name is called up when she wakes up in a dream at midnight.
She has to cry; if, if she doesn’t have me, she will live well, she——
Mom, don't be sad, please, don't be sad!
"Give me time!" Chengjia suddenly turned around, and wiped his tear-stained face bit by bit with his little hands, even though his eyes were so red that they were almost swollen into a line, this kind of depression
The result of trying not to let himself cry out was that his eyes were red and swollen and his voice was mute.
In the huge hall, the blood-related father and son communicated face to face for the first time. This conversation, which was like a negotiation, made the housekeeper shudder. He was still so young and didn't understand anything yet. He shouldn't be here.
Having endured so much at such a young age, he——
Si Lan's eyes moved slightly. In fact, he didn't expect that he would stop, and he didn't expect that he would actually understand the implication of his words. Looking at his vigilant eyes, Si Lan suddenly smiled softly. This smile
In the white light of lightning, it looked much paler and had a hint of sadness.
The iron door of the villa finally opened, and the child inside ran out in the pouring rain. The figure disappeared on the road leading to the gate. When Si Lan looked up again, the shadow was gone.
"He's still young, why do you have to--" At the corner of the stairwell in the living room, Shang Qingwen, who came in from the back door of Si's house, sighed lowly, glanced at Si Lan, who had a stiff back, and looked up towards the garden door.
In the past, I was relieved after confirming that Shu Ran's car had left. When he came, he went directly to the back door, because they knew that this door of the Si family had always been difficult to enter. They used to come to Si Lan every time.
Sometimes they would take another route secretly, and over time, that route became a little secret for the four of them.
Si Lan still maintained the posture facing the door of the hall, his eyes seemed to be immersed in deep memories, and his voice was colored by memories and became soothing and sad, "The first choice in my life was a failure.
, and I was as old as he was when I made that decision!"
Shang Qingwen looked at him deeply, "But his choice is different from yours!"
"So-" Si Lan suddenly smiled bitterly, "He does better than me!"
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
"Chengjia, are you okay? Let me see if you hit somewhere. Let mom take a look -" In the back of the car, mother and son, who were all soaked, hugged each other. Lin Xuejing looked at her face randomly.
The rain and tears on her face were wiped away, and her whole body had not stopped shaking until now. The moment she caught her son and held the little body in her arms, her whole life finally came to life again.
Her child, the child she couldn't lose!
Mei Yangyang, who was next to her, pulled away the small pillow and turned it into a small blanket. She gingerly handed it to little Chengjia. *I was very sad just now, especially when I saw Chengjia running out of it, all wet. She felt even more sad.
Feeling guilty, she handed over the blanket as a sign of kindness. Her big eyes, soaked with tears, were afraid to look into Chengjia's eyes. When she accidentally touched Chengjia's eyes, she said "Wow" again.
She was so sad that she started crying. She didn't mean it. She didn't know why Uncle Si did this to them. She didn't know anything -
"Yangyang, Yangyang, don't cry!" Shu Ran, who was driving, was in a panic all night. She was so flustered by her friend's almost crazy mood. At this time, her daughter started crying again. She felt that she was going crazy.
After shouting, Lin Xuejing in the back seat of the car was wrapping the soaked little Chengjia in the small blanket handed over by Yangyang. When she heard Yangyang crying next to her, she lowered her head and glanced at her son in her arms, and found that he was looking at her.
Yang Yang's eyes were wrong, and he was slightly startled. He lowered his head and leaned closer and called his son in a low voice, "Chengjia——"
Did this child attribute all his faults to Yangyang?
Chengjia then turned away his eyes and responded to his mother that he was just a little dizzy. After saying that, he glanced at Mei Yangyang and closed his eyes.
Shu Ran's Mercedes-Benz drove into the community where Lin Xuejing temporarily lived at around eleven o'clock in the evening. When she got out of the car, she urged her friends to take her children home and take a hot bath to relieve the cold. Although it was summer, this time
There was a big difference in temperature over the past few days, and Mei Yangyang had been down for two days because of a severe cold. She was worried about Chengjia and her friend who was in poor health. Worried, she decided to call Shang Qingwen to pick up the child.
When she got home, she saw two cars parked behind her car. On a rainy day, because the car did not enter the underground garage, the rearview mirror was splashed by the rain and she could not see the license plate of the other car, but the car let her
It was extremely familiar. Just when she was wondering, the door of the car had opened, and someone got out of the car holding a big umbrella. That figure——
Shang Qingwen?
Shang Qingwen came over holding a big umbrella and knocked on Shu Ran's car door. Mei Yangyang's grievances surged into her heart when she saw her father coming. She opened the car door before Shang Qingwen could reach out.
When he picked her up, he hugged her father's legs and choked with sobs, saying, "Dad, I was wrong!"
Listening to her daughter's words, Shu Ran felt that she would be lying if she said she wasn't angry. If her daughter hadn't been unable to keep secrets, how could this happen today?
Shang Qingwen felt that his wife was looking at his daughter strangely, so he quickly picked up her daughter, patted her gently, and whispered to Shu Ran, "I'll take the child back first!"
"Wait a minute -" Shu Ran suddenly stopped Shang Qingwen and pointed at the familiar Porsche SUV behind where Shang Qingwen parked.
Shu Ran saw clearly the license plate of the car behind her and became furious, pointing at the people sitting in the car.
"What is he doing here?"
