Li Yanmo thought that it must be the relatives whom he cared about that made it so difficult for him to accept.
He nodded: “You have to be brave.”
That was the last word that his father left to him before he left.
The boy smiled bitterly: “Brave?! Yes! I just wasn’t brave enough to make things like what they are today!”
The boy sat on the ground, talking intermittently.
He said that he fell in love with a girl.
That girl was none other than the daughter brought by his stepmother, who was also his nominal sister.
They got along day and night every day and gradually developed feelings between men and women. Later, they got together behind their parents’ backs.
Until one day, their relationship was discovered by their parents.
They were accused and forced to separate.
The girl said that she wanted to go with him, and the two of them could leave home and go wherever they wanted.
But, he didn’t want to. He felt that they were all too young, and he didn’t want to suffer the different views of relatives and friends, as well as the worldly public opinion.
So, he chose to leave the girl and went to study abroad alone.
He thought that time could wash away everything and make the previous things disappear.
He had been avoiding her, not seeing her, not answering her calls, and not replying to her messages.
Until yesterday, he suddenly received a message. She said: “If I have caused trouble to you, then I’m sorry. From now on, I will never do it again. But, I don’t regret falling in love with you! Farewell!”
He was very worried and called back immediately, but her phone was turned off.
So, he called the home phone and found that she had left the house early.
When he hurried back from the field, he happened to see her jump down from the tall building and land at his feet.
Finally, he couldn’t speak anymore and burst into tears.
The intense sadness made Li Yanmo a little solemn. He didn’t know what to say.
Was that girl stupid? Just because of the breakup, she had to give up her life.
Or was it that the boy was not brave enough and couldn’t stand the worldly judgment and evaluation, so he cowardly chose to escape?
The boy didn’t need him to say anything. Maybe he just wanted to vent, so he said these words to Li Yanmo.
After a long time, he got up from the ground by himself and left with a sway.
Li Yanmo stood still. His mind was in confusion.
Thinking about the boy’s sadness, thinking about the two people who loved each other, were separated from each other, and would never see each other again, he couldn’t imagine how if he was the boy and Tian Mi was the girl, how should he bear it?
Li Yanmo returned home with a heavy heart and looked at Ke Yiyun who was sitting on the sofa watching TV. After thinking about it, he walked over to Ke Yiyun and sat down.
“Mom.” He called softly.
Ke Yiyun turned her head and looked at him: “What’s wrong, son?”
Li Yanmo looked at Ke Yiyun seriously. His expressionless face looked a little solemn, causing Ke Yiyun to frown with some worry.
Li Yanmo didn’t know how to speak. What should he say?
Ask Ke Yiyun if she didn’t mind if he was with her stepdaughter?
What if Ke Yiyun really cared about it? What should he do?
Moreover, he didn’t know what kind of feelings Tian Mi had for him.
Perhaps Tian Mi only had a sibling relationship with him.
If he expressed his feelings, would it cause trouble to her?
Would Tian’s father be disappointed in him?
For a moment, Li Yanmo’s heart was really in a mess, so messed up that he couldn’t think.
“Son, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?” Ke Yiyun turned off the TV and took Li Yanmo’s arm with an anxious look on her face.
Li Yanmo glanced at Ke Yiyun and then shook his head: “It’s okay. I’m not over the jet lag.”
He found an excuse to appease Ke Yiyun.
Ke Yiyun breathed a sigh of relief and then pushed Li Yanmo back into the room.
