ADMKSF - 024.3

On the side, Pei Ye was already hungry and couldn't care much at the moment. He inserted the chopsticks into his mouth and his expression suddenly froze. Although he and Lin You have been living peacefully together for less than a month, the food made by Lin You is extremely delicious, even the food in some five-star hotels cannot compare. Therefore, Pei Ye felt that his mouth was probably held a little bit.

"Unappetizing?"

Lin You turned her head to look at the boy. Pei Ye's expression looked a bit hesitant. It was definitely not delicious, but it didn't seem to fit the personality of him and Pei Henan who had depended on each other since childhood and had no money to live a good life.

After hesitating for a while, the young man shook his head at Lin You with a smile on his face: "It's delicious."

Lin You: "..."

Lin You only thought that this kid was giving her a favor because of her cooperation with Nanjiang Lou. She immediately rubbed his hair and said with a smile: "Good son."

The taste of Nanjianglou in Tong City was so bad that Lin You only ate some and rinsed her mouth. Pei Ye didn't mind at all, but Lin You took away the chopsticks in the end. After paying, Lin You looked at the amount on the receipt, stuffed the receipt decisively into his pocket, and then took Pei Ye to have a super delicious barbecue.

At this time, Pei Henan's message was also sent. It was a photo of Pei Henan's dinner. On a wooden table with dim lighting, there was a small bowl of white porridge with some pickles sprinkled on it. It was so ordinary that it made people feel distressed again... Lin You looked at the bowl of white porridge, then lowered her head to look at the delicious and delicious barbecue. Her mood was quite complicated.

She did not reply to Pei Henan immediately, but just let out a soft sigh, successfully calling the attention of the young man opposite who was enjoying the meal, and asked softly: "Aye, did you and your dad have a bad life in the past?"

Pei Ye was stunned for a second.

He didn't expect Lin You to ask him this question at this time.

He didn't know whether it was because the night and dim lights were too gentle, or because Lin You's sincere care these days made his heart soften. The young man nodded gently. Then he whispered under Lin You's encouraging gaze: "Because my father's status is not very prominent, we kept a low profile as long as we could when we were young. Mrs. Pei... that is, the second uncle's mother doesn't like us very much, often come to trouble us and don’t give us food or anything.”

When Pei Ye's biological parents just passed away, although he was forcibly thrown into the small foreign building by Mrs. Pei, at least his grandfather was not dead at that time. The other party had a lot of illnesses as he got older and often lived in a nursing home. Pei Henan held him for a while and it was considered a good result.

As a result, when Pei Henan was eighteen years old, the old man passed away.

Since that time, life for Pei Henan and Pei Ye has become increasingly difficult.

Mrs. Pei stopped paying Pei Henan's living expenses because he was an adult at the age of eighteen. Pei Henan was too lazy to pay attention to the family and left the Pei family's house with Pei Ye, who was only six years old. Pei Henan did well in the college entrance examination, and the school that admitted him gave him many rewards. Based on Pei Henan's ability, it would have been a piece of cake to win a four-year college scholarship. However, in order to reduce his sense of existence, he acted particularly lazy in college.

Mrs. Pei and Pei Tianyuan received only one message: Because of poor health, they slept and did not take the exam.

Later, they no longer paid attention to Pei Henan's results.

They thought that Pei Henan, who was doing nothing and just living his life, was probably a loser.

In the past four years, all of Pei Henan and Pei Ye's expenses came from the bonus when Pei Henan was admitted. Because the money was not enough, they spent it very sparingly.

Pei Ye lowered his eyes and covered the look in his eyes, "I was less than ten years old at that time. My father thought I was too thin, so he bought me a lot of food, but because he didn't have enough money, he drank porridge every day. He said that he can drink many bowls of porridge in school for one dollar and it will make him full."

Pei Henan will also buy two steamed buns and eat some when he gets hungry at noon or in the afternoon.

Probably because he spent four years in college like this, he doesn't have a strong appetite and doesn't mind what he eats. Tonight's white porridge with pickles was just the most common dinner in Pei Henan's days.

Lin You was speechless.

Although she had already had an idea in her heart and could guess something, Lin You's heart still trembled when she heard Pei Ye recalling the hard days in the past, and it felt as if she had been pinched hard by a hand, with pain. A little sour.

She pursed her red lips and gently rubbed Pei Ye's head. She put her warm palm against the boy's head and said with gentle comfort: "It's okay. The previous suffering is over."

In his ears were the friction and roar of cars speeding by on the road, and above his head fell the dim shadow of Lin You raising her hand. Pei Ye lowered his head and blinked, forcing back the sour feeling. He is sixteen years old, he can't cry because of such a trivial matter.

But in such a gentle and warm atmosphere, he couldn't help but whisper: "Actually, if it weren't for me, my dad wouldn't have to live so hard."

Moreover, all these hardships were actually borne by his father alone.

As Pei Henan's adopted son, his life was good enough.


The young man's voice was extremely low, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he had been suppressing it for a long time and finally had someone to talk to, so he couldn't help but speak. In everyone's eyes, he was only sixteen years old. He was still young, but since he was sensible, he couldn't wait to grow up and want to do something for Pei Henan.

For other children, the ten years from the age of six to sixteen may have passed in the blink of an eye. When they mention it later, they will only say, "I was still young at that time, how could I still remember what happened?" But for Pei Ye, it seemed like a long half life.

Pei Ye felt more and more like he couldn't control his tears, and his face suddenly changed. He hurriedly asked the owner of the barbecue restaurant where the restroom was, and rushed over quickly.

Lin You stood there and watched the young man's thin back disappear from sight, frowning for a long time, but finally said nothing.

Waiting for Pei Ye to come back, the two finished eating the barbecue they ordered before slowly returning to the hotel. When the mother and son separated and were about to walk into the bedroom, Lin You suddenly stopped. She turned her head and looked at the young man whose expression had returned to normal and the redness in his eyes had faded. She smiled gently: "Aye, if it weren't for you, your dad may not have such a hard life, but he will definitely be very lonely."

Pei Ye was stunned, and when he came to his senses, Lin You had already closed the door.

Across this closed door, Pei Ye was at a loss.

Back in the room, after taking a shower, he rolled around in his pajamas and wrapped in the quilt. His hair rubbed against the quilt and became messy, but Pei Ye didn't care. He turned around again, staring blankly at the lamp on the ceiling. He didn't know how long he had been watching, but Pei Ye thought it might have been half an hour. He suddenly got up from the bed, picked up his phone and sent a message to his father.

…

When Pei Henan received the message from Lin You, he was holding his chin with his right hand and looking lazily at the dialog box on the WeChat page - and Pei Ye's.

The young man said: Dad, I’m so into the drama that I can’t get out of it.

Ten minutes later, seemingly seeing no reply from him, he said bluntly: She is so gentle and I love her so much.

After thinking about it, he quickly added: It’s too exaggerated. The last four words should be removed and only the first four words should be kept.

Pei Henan ignored these three messages and opened the dialog box with Lin You. The content sent by Lin You seemed to be very down-to-earth: There is also beef bone soup in the refrigerator. I think you like it very much. You can put some vermicelli in it to make a beef vermicelli soup tomorrow.

Pei Henan pointed his finger: OK.
