Back to the Years When My Father Was in School - Chapter 69
Shen Kuo calmly listened to every word Lu Zhen said. There was no expression on his face. Under the dim light, his dark eyes became darker and darker.
In the process of Lu Zhen’s narration, Liang Ting couldn’t help it, and would interrupt and add a few words from time to time–
“Lu Yan didn’t lie to you at the beginning, she kept calling you Uncle Shen, didn’t she.”
So Ye Jiaqi added fuel and jealousy: “She doesn’t belong to this era. Speaking of which, Shen Kuo, she really belongs to your daughter’s generation.”
Liang Ting said angrily: “Speaking of which you are also her uncle, why didn’t you see her as a niece!”
“Xiao Yan didn’t call my uncle at the beginning. She took a bite of Brother Jiaqi. Are you deaf or jealous, Uncle Liang Ting.”
“You’re so **** disgusting.”
Lu Zhen slapped the table fiercely: “Can you two go out and fight! Come in again if you have enough noise!”
The two immediately shut up and looked at Shen Kuo at the same time.
Shen Kuo sat on the sofa blankly, without saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lu Zhen poured him a glass of wine, shocked, and suddenly remembered that Lu Yan had once told him not to let Shen Kuo drink, he would pour it after a few drinks.
He opened the glass again in silence.
Shen Kuo hadn’t spoken, he didn’t speak, Lu Zhen naturally didn’t dare to speak, looking at him nervously.
Shen Kuo’s hand was clenched and loosened, and what echoed in his mind over and over again…It was Ye Jiaqi’s sentence “She was also approaching you to help Lu Zhen.”
Yes, at that time, he was desolate and lonely, and all his classmates, both men and women, shunned him.
How could anyone really like him for a guy like him.
Lu Yan was the first girl… who didn’t mind his character and background, he thanked her from the bottom of his heart, until now.
So even if her surname is Lu, he can fall in love with her unhesitatingly, and he can reconcile with Lu Zhen forever because she didn’t dislike her in the first place.
So now, is the goal finally achieved?
Shen Kuo clenched his fists, couldn’t believe it, couldn’t believe it, just felt ironic…
Lu Zhen looked at the back of his hand with blue veins, and said worriedly: “It’s really unbelievable. I never thought that I would have a daughter the same age as myself. It took me several months to… Really accept, so I understand your feelings.”
Do you understand? How does he understand, a guy who has grown up in love and care since he was a child, how does he understand everything he has experienced.
How does he understand betrayal?
Shen Kuo’s eyes were cold, and he got up to leave. Lu Zhen immediately stretched out his hand to keep him: “Shen Kuo, my sister’s business…”
“What to do with me.”
Shen Kuo said these four words coldly, pulled Lu Zhen’s hand away, and left the private room without looking back.
After Shen Kuo left, Ye Jiaqi turned to leave, Liang Ting rushed forward, raised his leg and kicked him on the waist, Ye Jiaqi had been prepared for a long time, and dodged perfectly.
“Damn you!”
Liang Ting could not bear it for a long time, and rushed up to hit him. Lu Zhen’s eyes were quick, and he hugged him lazily: “Don’t be impulsive!”
Liang Ting looked at Ye Jiaqi angrily, and said every word: “You’ve already expected that all this is your plan. You are not trying to find Young Sister Lu, just to make Shen Kuo crazy!”
Lu Zhen let go of Liang Ting and looked at Ye Jiaqi in disbelief, “He’s serious?”
Ye Jiaqi’s mouth grinned: “My dad taught me since I was a child that it doesn’t belong to me… you can grab it.”
Liang Ting panted, with a deep hatred in his eyes, he pressed his throat and said in a deep voice, “Even if it hurts her, I don’t hesitate, right.”
Ye Jiaqi didn’t answer, the two looked at each other, the smell of gunpowder was strong.
Lu Zhen rushed over, grabbed Ye Jiaqi by the collar, and asked fiercely: “Ye Jiaqi, what the **** do you want to do!”
Liang Ting really didn’t want to see this **** for a minute. He turned and walked out of the private room: “This **** wants to be your son.”
Shen Kuo didn’t know how he got home, he opened the door, he forgot to turn on the light, and he stood alone in the dark for how long.
Suddenly I feel so tired.
He dragged his tired and tired body into the room and took out an iron box from the bottom of the cabinet.
There are rust marks on the surface of the iron box, and it contains father’s watch, Lu Yan’s graduation certificate photo, and all the good and precious memories of the past.
The bottom layer of these sundries is pressed with a new version of RMB banknotes.
Shen Kuo still remembers the first time they met. He and Lu Zhen had a fight in the billiards room. The little girl had been following Lu Zhen. The police came and the scene was chaotic. Shen Kuo saw her fall in the chaos. Think about it, take her, and leave the billiard room like a chicken.
Later, the little girl said it was Lu Zhen’s sister, and apologized for him and gave him a handful of change bills. Among them… it was mixed with this new version of the hundred yuan bill.
Shen Kuo took the banknote under the lamp and saw the embossed watermark on it engraved with the serial number of the date, 2025.
This is a banknote from 2025, which confirms that everything Lu Zhen said is the truth.
The truth is actually around, but he has never discovered it.
Suddenly a rage that had nowhere to vent came up from the bottom of his heart. Shen Kuo crumpled the coin into a ball and threw it violently!
The ball of paper hit the wall, bounced back, and finally rolled down to a corner of the room.
He knew that Lu Yan had something to hide from him, and he had inquired several times, and she kept talking about him.
In fact, with their relationship, there is no need to hide anything, and he can forgive her for anything. He loves her, it is the kind of love without principle and reason, even if she wants to kill someone, he can go to jail for her…
Deception alone is something that Shen Kuo will never forgive in this life.
Shen Kuo slammed into the table with a fist, and the iron box was shaken with a buzzing sound, and his entire arm was numb.
At this time, the phone’s ringtone suddenly rang. You don’t need to look at the screen, just listen to the ringtone to know that the caller is Lu Yan.
Lu Yan always called him at night, and the two of them were so tired of talking in the bed until late at night. Sometimes when she fell asleep, Shen Kuo couldn’t bear to hang up the phone. He liked to listen to her breathing.
Calm and long, as if she was sleeping next to her.
Shen Kuo looked at her name flashing on the phone screen, and finally answered the call.
Lu Yan didn’t seem to know anything. The first sentence asked: “What are you doing? It took so long to answer the phone.”
Shen Kuo pursed his lips, did not speak, his hands clenched his fists tightly, his breathing dull and heavy.
A trace of worry rose in Lu Yan’s heart: “Shen Kuo, what’s wrong with you…?”
Shen Kuo finally took a breath and finally said: “It’s late at night, thinking of some past events.”
He picked up the photo of her graduation certificate in the iron box with his fingertips.
He accidentally saw this on the commendation wall on campus, and he tore it off without hesitation, and treasured it by himself.
The girl in the photo is wearing a blue and white school uniform, with a green and sweet smile, with slightly curved eyebrows and clear eyes, like a summer breeze, passing by his life, making all his youthful time into summer. Mint green background.
She was the collection of all the good things in his life.
But all this, if it has a certain purpose, will completely change color, make him tremble and make him…
anger.
“It’s late now, Lu Yan.” His voice was slightly hoarse, unable to discern his emotions.
Lu Yan leaned on the window sill and said to him, “Come to the window.”
Shen Kuo obediently walked along the window lattice.
“look up.”
He raised his head and saw a cold and full moon, no cloud tonight, and the moonlight was particularly clear.
“Shen Kuo, can you see the moon from your window?”
“Can.”
Lu Yan smiled: “The moon tonight is so beautiful.”
When Shen Kuo looked at the moon, he suddenly wanted to ask her if she would still approach him in those years if she couldn’t predict the future.
The humble man.
“Shen Kuo, do you love me.”
For some reason, the girl suddenly felt uneasy. She blushed and asked him this shameful question.
Shen Kuo constricted his eyes, clutching the window frame with his hand until the back of his hand burst into blue veins.
“Love.” His voice was hoarse, and he spoke the word almost with all his strength.
No one loves you like I do, and I will never fall in love with others in this life.
“Shen Kuo, I will come to you tomorrow. Auntie steamed a very delicious red date cake. I will bring it to you tomorrow. It is really delicious.”
Shen Kuo can see the girl’s smiling eyes from the girl’s words.
“What time is tomorrow?” he asked in a deep voice.
“Well, let me think about it, tomorrow morning, I’ll come when I get up.”
“I’m waiting for you.”
“Ok!”
After hanging up the phone, Shen Kuo held her photo tightly in his palms, and squeezed out the folds.
His anger entangled all the desires in his body, he wanted to do something, something that he wanted to do a long time ago.
Lu Yan got up early in the morning and pestered Aunt Li to make yesterday’s red date cake again.
The fragrant red date cake came out yesterday, and Lu Zhen unexpectedly lost his appetite, so Lu Yan ate it all.
Aunt Li smiled and said: “Yesterday’s gluttons were all for you, but I haven’t eaten enough yet.”
Lu Yan said embarrassedly: “I want to… bring it to my friend to taste.”
Aunt Li is a diligent northern woman with dark skin, long hands and long legs, a bit thick palms, a strong body frame, and quick work.
She loves Lu Yan very much. She will cook whatever the little girl wants to eat. If she doesn’t, she will buy the recipe and find out for herself.
Lu Yan said before that he wanted to eat chiffon cakes. Aunt Li had never heard of chiffon cakes before, but Lu Yan wanted to eat them, so she bought a copy of “Western Pastries”. After exploring it four times, she succeeded in making it. chiffon cake.
She absolutely loves Lu Yan as her little daughter. Sometimes Lu Yan really feels that she can’t live without Aunt Li for the rest of her life.
She stuck behind Aunt Li, helped her make noodles, and learned how to make red jujube cakes.
Aunt Li buffed Lu Yan’s nose with flour, and said with a smile, “Is it for Miss Jian Yao?”
“Next time I invite her to eat at home, not today’s.”
Aunt Li looked at Lu Yan’s eyes full of happiness and sweetness, and pretended to say deeply: “Oh, I see.”
“What do you know?”
“Is it for our future little uncle?”
“Hey…” Lu Yan did not answer.
Auntie or something, I’m sorry to hear it.
Lu Zhen also got up early, went to the bathroom and took a hurried shower, and then hurried out, not even eating breakfast.
Lu Yan hurriedly called to him: “Aunt Li is making red date cake. You can leave after eating.”
“I’m very busy.” After Lu Zhen finished speaking, he ran out without looking back. After a while, the sound of a car starting came from the yard.
He drove out Lu Jian’s Mercedes Benz.
Lu Yan frowned, what did he do all day, panicking…
But she didn’t think too much, put the fragrant sweet and greasy red date cake into the insulation box, happily went out of the house, and rode on her bicycle.
Aunt Li escorted her to the gate of the yard and said, “Be careful on the road.”
“Ok!”
Facing the mist of dawn, Lu Yan flew out like a gust of wind on her bicycle.
Good morning, good life, at this moment, Lu Yan feels that she is the happiest girl in the world.
Twenty minutes later, Lu Yan stopped the bicycle at the door of Shen Kuo’s house.
The door of the room was not closed, Lu Yan knocked on the door, then pushed in and said, “Shen Kuo, are you at home?”
There was a splash of water in the bathroom, and he seemed to be taking a shower.
Lu Yan walked into the room and put the insulation box on the table. She wanted to clean up the room for Shen Kuo, but his room would always be kept as clean as some obsessive-compulsive disorder. After all the things were used, the room immediately returned to its original flavor. The room was arranged in an orderly manner. There is no room for her to clean up.
Lu Yan walked to the bathroom door and knocked on the door: “Shen Kuo, are you taking a shower?”
In the bathroom, the boy responded dullly.
“Then… I’ll wait for you.”
Lu Yan sat back at the table again, opened the steaming heat preservation box, and swallowed while looking at the fragrant and sweet red jujube cake.
In the bathroom, Shen Kuo was wearing clothes and standing under the shower. The cold water soaked his whole body. He was taut, his hands were clenched into fists, his skin had been frozen and numb, and the blood all over his body seemed to be condensed. Ice slag.
His dark eyes looked straight ahead, no more waves.
When Lu Yan heard the bathroom door open, she turned to him and said, “Come on, come and taste it. I guarantee you have never eaten such a delicious red date cake!”
Before she could react, Shen Kuo had grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the bedroom.
Lu Yan felt the coldness of his skin, and paused in surprise: “Why are you…”
The heat preservation box fell to the ground during the pulling, and there was a sound, and the two red date cakes in the box rolled to the ground.
“Shen Kuo!”
Shen Kuo pulled her into the bedroom, threw her on the bed, then pulled the collar of the shirt with his hands, covered it, and kissed her lips.
Lu Yan didn’t know how he would be like this suddenly, but she didn’t push him away. His whole body was cold, and his skin seemed to be frozen. She couldn’t help but hugged him and warmed him with her own body temperature.
“You are so cold, are you sick…well…”
He kissed her confusedly and swallowed all her words.
“Shen…”
His hands were not honest, Lu Yan flushed anxiously, and tried to push him away, but failed.
She already had a foreboding of what might happen next, but… it was early in the morning, how could this happen, he didn’t even ask her what she meant.
He is a bit thick [b], Lu Yan’s jaw is pinched red, and there are a lot of prints on the neck […].
“It hurts, Shen Kuo!”
She begged him bitterly, even crying: “Don’t do this, I… I’m afraid.”
The girl’s tears fell, she breathed violently, her body undulating.
Finally, the boy’s movements slowly stopped, and Shen Kuo’s brain exploded as he watched the shivering appearance of the girl in his arms.
What is he doing!
are you crazy!
The reason in his eyes slowly gathered, with a trace of panic and helplessness.
Finally, let go of her, grabbed the glass on the bed cabinet and threw it out. The glass smashed on the wall and shattered to the ground.
With a “pop”, the girl’s body shrugged and shrank in the corner, shaking.
She had never seen Shen Kuo get such a temper.
“sorry!”
The girl did not dare to stay any longer, put on her slippers, ran out of the room in a hurry, apologizing indiscriminately: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
Although she doesn’t know why, she only knows to apologize, she is sorry for him, always sorry…
Raising her eyes in a panic, she greeted the black and white photo of Uncle Shen. She broke down crying and said to the photo: “I’m sorry.”
Shen Kuo paused for two minutes, stepped out of the room abruptly, grabbed the girl, hugged her from behind, exhausted all his strength, and circled her in his arms.
His hand gently stroked her lips, preventing her from apologizing.
“It’s me…I’m not good.” His voice was hoarse: “Don’t apologize, it’s my fault.”
He hasn’t slept all night, and now his mind is about to explode.
“I don’t know what I’m doing, sorry, I won’t hurt you.”
He will never hurt her, forever…
Even if she concealed him a hundred times and ten thousand times, even if she killed him with a knife…he couldn’t hurt her.
Lu Yan’s tears fell down and fell on the back of his cold hand: “I will not refuse, as long as you tell me… tell me you want… I won’t refuse you anything, but you Just hurt me.”
She was also terrified.
So wronged.
He gently scratched the skin of her neck with his nose, and said softly, “Don’t be afraid of me, I don’t want it.”
