Chapter 27 Soft flames

Le Zhishi stood behind Song Yu, unable to say a word.

During festivals and festivals, he always went with him to visit relatives. Everyone was very enthusiastic about his life and study. He had never heard such sharp and harsh words. Hearing it suddenly, he was very uncomfortable.

Only after such a long time did Le Zhi realize that everyone's kindness was just an act, and that he was just a parasite in their hearts.

He was so well protected that he really regarded himself as Song Yu's biological brother, so much so that he completely forgot about the fact that he was living under someone else's roof.

"What kind of outsiders?" The eldest aunt said with a smile on her face, "Your sister-in-law is also thinking about you. You, your child, are as virtuous as your father. He likes to make wedding dresses for others and raise children for others. Is it possible that the money is a big wind?

Scratched?"

Song Yu replied calmly: "Uncle Le used all his savings to let my dad play with the money."

After speaking, he looked at the eldest aunt with sharp eyes, "Maybe I'm too young and don't remember things. I want to ask, did my uncle help my dad when he started his own business and couldn't turn around the capital?"

The eldest aunt was immediately at a loss for words, and the expression on her face was not good. In the end, she just managed to say, "Then... our family's conditions were not good at that time."

"Yes." Song Yu nodded like an interrogator who got the answer he wanted.

"Since you are not involved, it has nothing to do with you."

"You!" The eldest aunt stood up in anger, and the new cousin-in-law patted her mother-in-law on the back to cheer her up, and looked at Song Yu with dissatisfaction, "cousin, we are a family, you are hurting the family too much.

of……"

Song Yu suddenly laughed. The other party seemed not to have expected this reaction. He had not finished speaking and could not continue. But when Le Zhi looked at Song Yu, the expression on his face became even colder.

"It's so cheap to hear the word family from your mouth."

This was the first time in his life that Le Zhi had seen such a sharp side of Song Yu. His wrist was held, and he was led away from here.

This was not in line with Le Zhishi's expectations. He thought Song Yu would just go ahead on his own and let him follow behind, as he did in the past.

Perhaps he guessed that he was unable to walk and could not escape from such an embarrassing situation.

They didn't say a word along the way, and Le Zhi didn't want to talk much. The apple hadn't been washed yet, so it was extra heavy in his hand. After Song Yu entered the door, he made a pre-planned excuse and told his grandfather that the bathroom outside was also being repaired and could not be used.

Go in.

Grandpa was reading comics enthusiastically. He had no intention of eating fruit and had no doubt about the authenticity of this lie. His reading glasses slid to the bridge of his nose. He raised his hand and called Le Zhishi to his side, "Come here, come with me."

Look, this is really interesting."

Le Zhi nodded and sat next to the hospital bed. Later he lay beside the hospital bed and read comics with the old man. If it were in the past, he could introduce the personalities and abilities of each character to his grandfather with great interest, but he can't mention it now.

Too much interest, like squeezing out toothpaste, asking questions.

Ten minutes later, the eldest aunt and the new cousin-in-law, who had had enough of sitting outside, also came in. The two of them smiled and chatted to the old man as if nothing was wrong, "Xiao Yu is here too. Come and have dinner with us tonight. There is a restaurant nearby."

Pretty good.”

"Your parents will be here soon." When the eldest aunt took a special look at Le Zhi, she grinned high and the flesh on her cheeks piled up, "Le Le, right? You can come too. What do you like to eat? How about hot pot?

?”

Le Zhishi's throat seemed to be blocked by something. He looked at his aunt's face, his eyelashes trembling slightly.

"He won't go." Song Yu's tone was decisive, even a little cold, "He can't eat outside."

The old man took care of Le Zhishi for a while and knew about his allergies. "Yes, Lele should be careful when eating." He touched Le Zhishi's head, "When grandpa's arm is healed, I will cook the ribs for you. You used to

Don’t you particularly like to eat my roasted pork ribs?”

"Yeah." Le Zhishi raised his face and smiled at him.

Many times I cannot understand the adult world.

Just like at this moment, he didn't understand that their private faces had been torn apart by Song Yu not long ago, making it so ugly, but now they could pretend that nothing had happened, and they were still related to Meimei, as if they had no relationship at all.

Talk freely without any grudges.

His chin rested on the pure white quilt of the hospital bed, and his big and beautiful eyes looked at the aunt who was chatting happily, and the new cousin-in-law who looked very respectful and gentle. In the end, his eyes were probably sore.

After closing it for a moment, when he opened it again, he met Song Yu's eyes.

Le Zhishi couldn't describe Song Yu's expression at that moment. He frowned, as if he was a little bit indistinguishably sad, but it was a little more complicated. He tilted his head, his expression did not change, and he looked a bit like he was talking to Song Yu.

behave in a spoiled manner.

Fortunately, Song Yu was here, covering him like a piece of armor.

Only when you are happy can you hide away as a matter of course.

He has always wanted to be brave and face any difficulties like the protagonists of all comics, but sometimes, he also needs to hide.

"Grandpa." Song Yu stood up from the sofa, "I took Lele home."

Hearing this address which was not a given name and surname, Le Zhi raised his head with some surprise in his eyes.

"Go back so early." The old man was a little unhappy and raised his hand to touch the top of Le Zhishi's hair, "Why don't Lele play a little longer?"

"I……"

Song Yu told his second lie without changing his expression, "He still has tutoring classes." He added, "The high school entrance examination is about to take place."

The old man did not force him to stay. He told them a few words that study was important and health was also important. He also told them to come and stay with him if they had nothing to do.

When he was happy, he only nodded and didn't say much. He didn't want to show off too much in front of his eldest aunt, as if he was deliberately showing off his sense of accomplishment in occupying the magpie's nest.

Of course, the eldest aunt also said a lot of decent polite words and sent them out. She performed the whole scene all the way to the elevator entrance without showing a trace of meanness.

After leaving the hospital, Le Zhi remembered that the other party did not know that he was around the corner, nor did he know that he had heard everything. Song Yu stopped him and refused to let him out. It turned out to be to save his last dignity.

In the taxi, Song Yu didn't speak. He seemed very unhappy.

Le Zhishi has a wonderful perception that no one else has, that is, he can understand Song Yu's mood. This is difficult, because Song Yu's expression rarely fluctuates and he doesn't talk much. He is a hard mode in emotion recognition.

, but when you are happy to know, you can discover it from subtle feelings.

It's about the atmosphere.

In early spring, the city was particularly green, and Song Yu's side face was reflected in the greenery outside the car window. He looked at the windshield in front of him, and what he was thinking about was Le Zhishi lying in front of the hospital bed.

His face was pale and his eyes were full of confusion.

Growing up, Le Zhi had never encountered anyone or anything that was too complicated. Sometimes he was so simple that he was incompatible with the world. He asked questions, expressed, and showed emotions directly, but such "directness" was harmless.

Like a fluffy flame, soft with light and heat.

Song Yu wanted to say something.

I always feel like I should say something.

Le Zhishi squeezed towards Song Yu, her arm pressed against his, and the back of her hand accidentally brushed against him.

If it were normal, Song Yu would say, why are you so close to me, or turn around and look at him, or do nothing and continue to look out the window.

But this time it was different. Song Yu, who looked very angry in Le Zhishi's eyes, wrapped his hand around Le Zhishi's hand that he accidentally touched, without saying a word or turning his head.

The heat in his palms said it all.

Suddenly, Le Zhi thought of marshmallows.

He regretted attending that winter camp. He wanted to see with his own eyes whether the scene when Song Yu picked up the marshmallow was the same. Without saying anything, he held its paw.

Then Marshmallow left with him.

After returning home, Le Zhishi did his homework review and stayed up until 9:50 in the evening to finish it. He was too tired to be distracted. The two of them made dinner at home. Le Zhishi didn't eat much, and now he

I was a little hungry and wanted to go downstairs to find something to eat. I might not have anything else at home, and there was never a shortage of food.

Walking to the kitchen, Le Zhishi saw a sticky note posted by Lin Rong before opening the refrigerator. It said "There are cinnamon rolls in the oven, warm them up before eating."

So he gave up the refrigerator and walked to the oven, but he was too lazy to heat it up, so he opened the door and took out a gluten-free cinnamon roll.

It's actually hot. Brother, is it hot?

The frosting on the cinnamon rolls was very fragrant. Le Zhishi stood by the counter and ate slowly. Although it was a semi-open kitchen, he was embedded in the corner and completely covered by the refrigerator.

After finishing one, Le Zhi felt that it was not enough, so he took out another one. As soon as he took a bite, he heard the sound of the door opening. It was Lin Rong and Song Jin going home.

He was about to come out, but Lin Rong seemed to be very angry, "I've been holding it in for a long time. Let me tell you. From now on, if you want to go to your brother's house, you can go. I won't go. This meal is worth it."

I'm so angry."

Song Jin's tone was a little helpless, "Calm down, I see your face is red with anger."

"That's blush!" Lin Rong threw the bag on the sofa, "Dad, he fell down and didn't even go to a better hospital. He still had to wait until you paid for the surgery before they signed the surgery. What's your intention?

Don't they feel sorry for me at all when something happens to my dad? At such an old age, what could happen if he fell down? It really pisses me off."

"And my sister-in-law, I get angry every time I hear her talk. She talks about money, as if we owe them millions."

Song Jin squeezed her shoulders and said, "She just has that kind of temper, don't argue with her."

Le Zhi didn't know why he didn't go out. Maybe it was because he had experienced something like this once during the day, so he subconsciously hid behind the refrigerator.

"And their newly married wife, what was she talking about during the meal..."

Song Yu heard the commotion and came down from upstairs. He saw that his mother was very angry. He didn't ask any more questions. Unexpectedly, a big pot landed on his head.

"Song Yu!"

When Song Yu heard his mother calling his name, he stopped and stood in the middle of the stairs to look at her.

"I'm telling you, if you find me a daughter-in-law like this, I will break your legs."

Song Yu didn't express any thoughts about this rare vicious remark, and kept walking down. Lin Rong also continued, "Fortunately, they didn't say it in front of Lele, otherwise I would really lose my temper in front of them."

I thought to myself when I was happy that I had almost heard everything.

Her voice lowered again and became a little sad, "I heard them talking about Lele, and I felt very uncomfortable. What does it mean to be careful about raising a little white-eyed wolf? Is this what people say? After so many years, I have long been

I regard him as my biological son. Think about it, it took such a long time for him to grow up to such a big age when he was so young and followed me."

"Isn't it?" Song Jin sighed, "You cry every time he gets sick."

"I feel really uncomfortable today. And when I heard what they said, I thought about what if one day Lele grows up and leaves me. Thinking of that scene makes me uncomfortable." After saying this, Lin Rong looked at Song again.

Jin, "When he was a child, he wanted to call me mom. I'm so happy." She hit Song Jin a few times and said, "It's all your fault. You must not let him call me that."

Song Jin smiled and grabbed her hand, "It's an advantage for you. You picked up a little treasure for nothing, and you still have to let people call you mom. Have you considered the feelings of your son and Olivia?"

Song Yu, who was passing by, looked like he didn't want to get involved, and was about to find some water to drink. Marshmallows came out of nowhere, wrapped around his legs, and jumped up and down, as if asking him to hug him.

Lin Rong sighed, "What a pity. Why didn't Le Yi give us a daughter? It would have been nice if Le Le was a girl. She was well-behaved and beautiful. Where can we find such a good girl now? She can be our daughter-in-law directly.

Okay, isn't it hundreds of times better than the one we had dinner with today?" Lin Rong was joking and said to Song Yu, "Yes, Xiao Yu."

Song Yu turned his back to them and said coldly, "As long as you are happy."

He lazily walked to the refrigerator, opened the door, took out a bottle of ice soda, and closed the door. Unexpectedly, he saw Le Zhi holding up half a cinnamon roll, huddled in the corner of the sink.

She looked at him with her big eyes open, a little embarrassed, and gave him a silly smile.

Song Yu choked hard before he drank the water.

The author has something to say: Lele: What does it mean that you are happy?
