As He Tianran said, Bai Wenyu actually didn't care in his heart which of the two girls attending the banquet today would be able to be with his son in the end.
After all, "love" is not a luxury for people like them.
When there are no worries of daily necessities in life, they will become more intuitive and paranoid when it comes to things like feelings, their sensibility will be more emotional, and their rationality will be more rational.
This is what He Tianran described to Wen Liang on the return flight, the way his parents were - calm after eating.
They won't think about the process and consequences of He Tianran's wandering between the two girls, because this year he brought Wen Liang and Ai Qing, and maybe he will bring the other two next year. These are all very possible. of.
Bai Wenyu asked about his view on love, and he was also deliberately suppressing He Panshan's education of his son in the past few years, because this kind of scene is the best example to teach, which can not only disgrace his ex-husband, but also make He Tianran lose face. Consolidate the authority of "mother" in the heart.
It's just that Bai Wenyu didn't expect that his son's "rebellion" would be so serious, and he would clarify the relationship at the dinner table so straightforwardly. You know, in a world of people like them, few people would talk like this. Everyone understands the selfishness of weighing the pros and cons, being cautious in words and deeds, and being roundabout and tactful are the most basic communication skills. However, this kind of speech is undoubtedly a sign of shame and immaturity.
However, He Tianran no longer needs this "hypocritical" maturity.
"Mom, I don't like this kind of mutual testing and use between relatives. I will not be a man like my father, and you don't need to use him to help me 'lead by example'. Your love has no role model for me. , it only serves as a warning. Now you ask me, what is my view on love, then I ask, I grew up in a relationship like yours, how do you think I view love? What do you want to hear? Yes Naively praising the beauty of feelings? Or is it a pretense of sophistication and cowardice?"
He Tianran's resonant question caught his parents off guard and made him speechless.
"...Naturally, you, please calm down..."
Wen Liang looked worriedly at the boy with a look of sorrow in his eyes, and couldn't help but softly comforted her. She stretched out her hand to hold the back of his hand, and the next second, He Tianran also turned her hand over, and the two of them clasped their fingers together.
He Tianran looked back at her with a firm expression and said to Bai Wenyu again:
"Mom, I'm lucky to be born in this family. I've never had to worry about food and drink since I was a child, and I've never had to worry about material things. But I don't know why, but I was never happy when I was a child. Mother Wang told me that I am your love The crystallization of your love is your baby. That was the first time I heard the word 'love', but whenever I think back to my childhood, I still can't figure out whether I am the crystallization of your love or the one in your marriage. burden……"
"Of course...it's not like that. The world of adults is more complicated than you think. Mom also has her own life..."
Bai Wenyu wanted to defend, but at this point, he hesitated and could not continue. He only heard He Tianran say again:
"I know Mom, it's not your fault. It's Dad who was unfaithful to you, which caused a rift in the relationship between you. But I'm also innocent. What did I do wrong?
You smashed my piano, which is the only thing I know how to do, because it was taught to me by my father...
You resolutely broke off the relationship with this man, went to a foreign country, and left simply and freely...
You devote yourself to work and want to forget this pain. You are an excellent and independent woman...
It's just that as a son, I look forward to the stars and the moon every year, waiting for you to come back and look at me like a charity. What did I do wrong?
I know that when you see me, you will think of this unbearable memory. Even on such an occasion, the first thing you think of is your past, whether you are watching "The Peony Pavilion" or asking this question The question is good, mother, please teach me, as the crystallization of your love, how should I explain my understanding of love to Wen Liang and Ai Qing?
Mom, you want your own life, but you don’t want your son’s life to become a stepping stone for you to retaliate..."
He Tianran's words were sharp and targeted, and he mercilessly slashed, tore and tore the fig leaf of the so-called "adult world" bloody!
He Panshan's mood has calmed down, but he didn't speak...
The past events in the son's conversation were understated, but every word in these words undoubtedly pointed to him and proved who was the culprit of this conflict.
"Child...you, you are too sensitive...Mom just didn't expect that an unintentional question would arouse such a big reaction from you..."
Bai Wen Yulin and Lin Zongsong composed a sentence, but when faced with his son's direct gaze, when he spoke the words, he lacked the usual confidence.
"Really? If I were not sensitive, I might never understand what the so-called 'adult world' is..."
He Tianran sighed. His tone just now was indeed too harsh and direct. He adjusted his emotions and looked at Wen Liang. He was silent for a few seconds, silently feeling the warmth generated when the two hands held each other. He calmed down and said slowly:
"Dad, Mom, during my son's still short life, I was lucky enough to meet two girls. They made me feel the happiness of being loved and gave me the courage to love. This is my great luck. If No, I don’t know how to love someone, I..."
"So do you understand now?"
Bai Wenyu suddenly raised her head. She was silently listening to her son's inner words, but then another sentence suddenly came out, coming from her side...
It was the girl who had a similar experience to her, Cao Aiqing.
She asked this question as if it was insignificant. She did not look at the boy. Instead, she put some of the crab meat impurities and inedible offal on the dinner plate back into the peeled crab body, and the crab cover was pressed tightly. Then she turned it over and gently put it back in place. Matching the crab legs and claws that she had placed in place, a complete hairy crab seemed to be restored again...
He Tianran's speech came to an abrupt end, and his eyes when he looked at Cao Aiqing were full of struggle.
"Ai Qing, we met in different time periods. To say that love came first, it will inevitably make people think that I am trying to cover up my betrayal, but I am indeed..."
"The choice has been made!"
At this moment, another change occurred, and the warmth around the boy instantly helped him answer this sentence.
Her voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear the certainty in her tone.
She slowly put the two people's clasped hands under the table on the table openly.
The butterfly tattoo is so conspicuous at the moment.
Then, the eyes of the two girls met in mid-air for the first time today.
"Really? But I still want to hear him say it himself..."
After Cao Aiqing glanced at Wen Liang, he stopped staying and went straight to He Tianran.
"He Tianran, to use your words, I am also very innocent..."
He Tianran has taken back the initiative from his parents. What he should say, what he should vent, and what he should let the two girls know and understand is enough.
Now, it's time to settle things between the three of them.
