The weather on the sea was changing rapidly. During the period when the father and son were chatting, the originally calm sea suddenly began to wrinkle. It was relatively stable at first, but in the next second, a thin line appeared between the sea and the sky in the east. The white waves, sounding like muffled thunder, came at high speed, hitting the ship and shaking it, causing He Yuanchong who was sailing the ship to shout in surprise, and Xie Kui'an on the deck laughed...
At this moment, He Panshan's expression was the same as that of Dahai.
It was visibly gloomier.
The father was not in a hurry to answer his son's question. He first said in a deep voice:
"You and Yuan Chong had a conflict at school?"
However, at this time, He Tianran was no longer the He Tianran he used to be. Faced with his father's vaguely oppressive questioning, he seemed even more calm and relaxed.
He shook his head, "No."
"Then don't ask if you shouldn't ask."
As usual, He Panshan wanted to end the topic forcefully, but He Tianran did not give up. He looked in the direction of He Yuanchong outside the cabin and stated a fact calmly:
"Dad, Yuan Chong should know that he is not your biological son..."
He Panshan's brows jumped, and his emotions were on the verge of exploding.
He Tianran looked back at his father, sat upright, and before the other party exploded, he explained sincerely:
"Dad, if Yuan Chong is really your son, then you must have told me early on. There is no need to hide anything from me all the time. Outsiders have always thought that you divorced your mother because of the existence of his illegitimate son, but now I am slow As I grow up slowly, I also gradually understand that you and your mother are always in conflict with each other in terms of personality. If no one is willing to compromise, it will be a matter of time that you don't get along, but this does not mean that you two can't live together. After all, you were true at the beginning. Loved.
It's just that she can't tolerate dirt in her eyes. She doesn't even ask for a cent of her property when she divorces you, which shows that she really doesn't care about money. So the divorce is just because you have someone else outside. She can't stand this... …
I don’t know about the dispute between you and Aunt Tao, and I don’t want to ask about it. When we were young, we could show off this kind of thing, but... as we mature, it becomes more... difficult to talk about it, especially... like me , your son, I can understand if you don’t tell me.
I understand that you don't tell me Yuan Chong's life experience because you are afraid that I will discriminate against and exclude him, especially when he has done everything you told him very well and is obedient to you. The more he behaves like this, the more you will The more protective he becomes, the less willing he is to tell me about it.
So dad, if these words have touched your pain point and made you feel that you can’t get off the stage, please forgive me. There is really no need for you to be angry. My son just said this to express that I have grown up and there are some things. I can understand it, I can understand it all. "
"..."
In the cabin, the two men stared at each other for a long time.
The long sound of the waves echoed in his ears, and for some reason, his son's soft eyes suddenly made He Panshan panic. This panic came from the long-term neglect and absence of He Panshan's growth. Guilt mentality...
The son's sudden growth and understanding made this man, who used to be powerful and domineering, take the initiative to look away from each other, because every time He Tianran called "Dad" and "You" in these words, he would say more Feeling guilty...
He Panshan subconsciously touched his pockets, but his beach shorts were empty at the moment.
So, he resisted the urge to smoke. It seemed that he was shaken by the ship and was a little unsteady. He sat back down next to his son and said in a low voice:
"Yuan Chong... is your brother..."
"I know."
"I have always told him that he is my biological son..."
"Really...then dad, why didn't you tell me that? You could just lie to me, you don't need to be tough every time."
He Panshan looked sideways at He Tianran, with a trace of helplessness on his lips. He smiled in a low voice and said:
"Naturally, if I told you the same thing, wouldn't you be too pitiful? Although I am not a good father, but... I can still be considered a father."
"..."
He Tianran lowered his head silently, and He Panshan thought he would cry, because this son has been too cowardly and too sensitive since he was a child, and the damage he caused to him is often irreparable...
But He Tianran didn't. He raised his head again, frowning slightly. An experienced man like He Panshan, who had experienced too many worldly experiences, knew this expression very well. He knew that his son was also restraining his emotions at this time. …
He Panshan suddenly hoped that his son would have a quarrel with him and have a big quarrel like before. He could yell at him twice, but don't...
Don't grow up so fast...
However, he saw He Tianran smiled hard and said:
"Dad, it's okay... Actually, think about it, there should be many stories between you and Aunt Tao... Others say that Yuan Chong is your biological son, that's why you accepted Aunt Tao. They never would Think about it, maybe you two are really regretful? Is it because you missed it? Is it because of love?
From this point of view, you have accepted Yuan Chong and Aunt Tao. I admire you very much, dad..."
He Panshan was speechless.
He did not expect that He Tianran would understand this. This is not something that everyone would think about, and it is not worth publicizing.
However, even for such a mistake, He Panshan was moved by his son's understanding.
"Naturally, dad was young too. Some things are just wrong if they are wrong. You don't have to admire me for this. Dad is sorry for everyone. Your mother is like this, and Tao Wei is the same. To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a man's desire. There is As the saying goes, children only make choices, adults want them all, but if you really take this sentence seriously, you really don't understand either choice or love.
Your father is successful enough, right? It's actually very simple to have three wives and four concubines. You can buy a house without getting a certificate. Is there any problem? There is no problem, but when you meet someone who truly loves you, and you are not only unable to give her any status, but you also have to share your love with her, this love is destined to deteriorate.
When Tao Wei first heard the news about my marriage, he married someone else the same year. When Yuan Chong was three years old, his biological father abandoned them, mother and son. After I knew the news, I felt that I had harmed them, so I have always been compensating. Because of this, Tao Weilu and I have been in contact for several years. It was at that time that your mother discovered us.
Your father made such a mistake. He wanted to love everyone, but in the end he couldn't keep anyone. This made the family impossible, and also made you and Yuan Chong... victims. "
He Panshan seemed to have aged several years. When he talked about these unbearable past events, he completely lost his usual domineering attitude as the head of the family and a business tycoon.
At this moment, he is more like a nagging middle-aged man, complaining about his children and recalling the past years.
He Tianran listened quietly, his face was sad, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, the son asked his father:
"Dad, how can I help you?"
He Panshan sneered and replied:
"Your Aunt Tao has always wanted you to call her 'Mom'."
"..."
The son remained silent, looking at the confusion on his face, He Panshan shook his head: "Forget it, since you understand dad, and dad understands you, stop screaming if you can't say it out loud, and if your mother finds out, She probably wouldn't be happy either.
After saying that, he changed the subject and continued: "By the way, you are already in your junior year, and you have never thought about falling in love or anything? I heard Yuan Chong say that you seemed to have a quarrel with a girl in school. , have you not started yet, or have you broken up?"
"He even told you this?"
"Your kid doesn't contact me at ordinary times. Who should I ask if I don't ask him? You should learn from your brother and report the situation to me on time every week, instead of the other way around. Every month you and I have to I’ll put money on your card on time.”
"Ah, I know, it's just a quarrel between friends, nothing more..."
He Tianran wanted to continue asking if He Panshan would directly ask He Yuanchong about his current situation in school, but at this time, a sudden sound sounded outside the cabin:
"dad--"
He Yuanchong's voice came in.
"Uncle Xie and I are going fishing, you should come too!"
"Okay, here we go!"
He Yuanchong who was outside the cabin looked inside, his eyes swept across He Tianran's body, and when he saw his father getting up, he turned and left.
"Let's go. Today, Dad, I will teach you how to fish in the sea. If you don't move here today, then I will be really angry."
He Panshan greeted his son who was still sitting motionless.
"Dad, my brother didn't ask me to come with him just now."
He Tianran said such a sentence so suddenly that even He Panshan was startled, and then laughed:
"Son, you are a bit sensitive."
"……really."
He Tianran smiled again, stood up, and walked out of the hatch with his father.
On the deck, Xie Kui'an and He Yuanchong had already set up fishing tools. Seeing the two father and son walking slowly, Xie Kui'an smiled heartily and said: "Hahaha, Lao He, what are you talking to Xiao He about? "Jiu, I saw a blue ghost-headed sword just now!"
He Panshan explained: "Oh, my son and I rarely get to see each other, so we talk for a long time. Unlike your daughter, who always gets home on time every week."
Xie Kui'an said with a smile to He Yuanchong beside him: "I heard that Yuan Chong, if you want to get along well with your father, then you must never see him."
He Yuanchong was squatting on the ground, helping to wrap up the bait. When he heard this, he raised his head and smiled: "How dare you?"
He Panshan stepped forward, took the fishing rod that his youngest son had prepared for him, and asked casually:
"By the way, there is Yuan Chong. It's rare for you to be together. Dad, I'm happy today. I'm going to test the tacit understanding between you brothers. You all tell each other what the other person wants especially now. If you answer correctly, I will give it to you. you."
He Panshan threw the fishing rod into the sea.
The two brothers looked at each other.
"My brother... ah, it's hard to say, I really don't know very well, but it seems that he... wants to fall in love. He has always had a dream girl."
Several laughed.
"I can't give this away. You have to work hard yourself, Tianran. What about you, Tianran? What do you think your brother likes?"
"Haha, my brother definitely doesn't know."
He Tianran glanced at him and said with a smile: "Dad, give him your fishing rod. I think Yuan Chong will like it."
He Yuanchong, who was preparing his own fishing rod, suddenly stopped in his hand.
"Really?" He Panshan, who was looking at the sea, turned his head in surprise.
He Yuanchong was frozen like this, not knowing how to speak, when he suddenly heard Xie Kui'an next to him shout:
"Quick, quick, quick, Yuan Chong, get the net bag! Quick, quick, quick!"
Everyone looked in the direction of his fishing rod and saw that the float was moving rapidly in the sea. Xie Kui'an kept pulling on the rod, and the fishing rod in his hand was bent due to the tension between the two ends.
The fish came just in time, and whether it was a coincidence or not, the previous brother's tacit understanding test, no one mentioned it again after the fish was caught.
