Chapter 7 Break

Since I have decided to have an interview with my father, I was going to choose the day before today, so I chose the night that I would choose.

But Sister Juan rejected my proposal and insisted that I give her a few more days. Before I show up with my father, she would do her job as a father and communicate with her father.

I know that Sister Juan is thinking about me.She knew that my conversation with my father would be filled with gunpowder, and she didn't want a clear crack in the relationship between us father and son.

But I think Sister Juan is completely useless.

Cracks and so on... Since my biological mother passed away, it has been between me and the person who was nominally my father.

After more than ten years of indifference and alienation, the differences between my father and I can no longer be described as cracks.It was a bottomless rift.

Despite this, I still agreed to Sister Juan’s request.I gave Sister Juan three days. If Sister Juan cannot reach good communication with her father during these three days, I will come forward.

Three days later, it will be the day when Yingying goes to the exam room.I couldn't let that person affect this exam that was important to Yingying, so I never let it go for the three-day period.

When I heard that Yingying mentioned, Sister Juan had to agree.

The night when Sister Juan and I reached an agreement, my father still came back very late as usual.

I don't know whether he had drunk that night, but he didn't go crazy for the first time, which made that night look particularly quiet.

Yingying hid in my room before her father came back.

On the eve of the exam, she no longer read too many tutoring books. Most of the time, Yingying was always by my side, listening to me telling the interesting stories about high school, so as to disperse her heavy pressure in school during the day.

By the way, brother, have you made up with my mom?

I was stunned for a moment and asked back: When did I quarrel with Juan... with your mother?You remembered it wrong.

Yeah?But the atmosphere between you two was very tense a while ago. I could tell that my mother was even hiding from you, and you must have had a quarrel.

I was speechless, a while ago...

Is it the time when I blocked Sister Juan in the bathroom?

That time, Sister Juan hid me for a while, but later I didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and Sister Juan also regained her attitude towards me as usual.

But there are certainly subtle changes.

After all, the words that Sister Juan said in the bathroom that night broke my heart, and I was also depressed for a while because of Sister Juan's alienation.

But I didn't expect that all these small details that I thought were only noticed by the two of us involved were seen by Yingying, an outsider.

It suddenly occurred to me that it was not the first time Yingying brought up such a topic with me.

She seemed particularly sensitive to the changes in the relationship between me and Sister Juan, and what scared me the most was that I never knew this. If Yingying hadn't told me on her own initiative, I would have been kept in the dark.

No wonder Sister Juan’s first thought when she went out for a date was to avoid Yingying’s eyes and ears... No matter how good her daughter is, she knows her keenness to Yingying.

I touched Yingying's hair. Now I am very accustomed to doing this action. Yingying also cooperated to tilt her little head to rub my palm, as if she was acting coquettishly.

Yingying, your mother and I didn’t quarrel. Before... we had some disagreements, but now we have made up, so you don’t have to worry.

I did not choose to hide it, but I did not tell all the facts.

Although part of my agreement with Sister Juan is for Yingying, I don’t want her to know this.

In my selfish heart, I still regard this as a relaxation of my relationship with Sister Juan.

The conflict between me and my father has nothing to do with Yingying. I don’t want Yingying to bear unnecessary pressure at such an important moment.

Well, I know.I actually don’t worry about a quarrel between you and my mother, because every time you quarrel, you will get better.

Yingying said while rubbing her face against my hand.

Yeah?I was a little surprised by this answer. Is the relationship between Sister Juan in Yingying's eyes like this spiraling upward?

Um!After all, brother, do you understand so easily? I can tell at a glance whether you are happy or sad every day.

I looked at Yingying, who showed smugness, couldn't help but want to tease her and said: Is that right?Then look at me now and guess whether I am happy or angry now.

Well... Yingying actually looked at me pretending to behave and then said: Don’t be happy or angry!This little girl is quite exquisite.

I looked at Yingying, and Yingying fiddled with my hands. She spread my fingers one by one, pressed them back one by one and made them into a fist, having a lot of fun.

The petite Yingying and my hands are very different in size. Her slender fingers are placed on my palms like a doll. As long as I use a little force, she will be pinched by me and cannot be freed like a butterfly tied in the net pocket.

After a while, Yingying started to show off her temper and shouted: Brother, don’t always make bad things!

Why? You are allowed to use my hands as a toy, and I am not allowed to fight back properly?

You don’t even know how much effort you have used?It hurts very much...

Hey, is that right? I didn't pay attention, sorry Ah.I quickly apologized, but I didn't use much effort...

Sure enough, after I finished speaking, Yingying immediately showed a secret joyful expression on her face, as if the sorrow she had just now had no existence.

I was fooled.I knew it well and directly slapped her on the head, which gave her a little lesson.Yingying didn't avoid it, but just took the opportunity to enjoy my touch again.

Okay, it's time for you to go to bed, hurry up and go to bed.

I took a look at my watch. I have been helping Yingying perform regular routines these days. I must help her get rid of her bad habit of staying up late.

Sure enough, after hearing what I said, Yingying immediately sniffled and shouted unhappily: So early?It was just 9 o'clock, so how could Ah go to bed so early!

Girl, forget what time will you get up tomorrow morning?Don't make a fuss, go to bed quickly.

Oh... Yingying knew that no matter how cute she acted on such a problem, she was useless, so she climbed onto the bed honestly.

Wait a moment, girl, forgot to change her clothes again?I pointed at Yingying's school uniform and said.

Let's change it now.Yingying knelt on the bed, and she had to take off her clothes.I quickly reached out to stop her and said, "Slow down, girl, I'm still here, you can change it when I go out!"

It's okay, I don't care. Brother, what are you doing so nervously... Although Yingying looked like she was indifferent, I still didn't change her mind.

But when I was about to open the door and leave, Yingying called me: Brother!

What's wrong?

You...you have to sleep with me, otherwise I won't be able to sleep!I turned around and looked at Yingying, who had taken off her clothes, feeling a little embarrassed.

To be honest, I don’t really want to sleep in the same bed as Yingying.

But the situation these days is special, and Yingying is even more attached to me than before. In order not to affect her exam status, Sister Juan and I tried our best to meet her requirements.

Oh well.I agreed, but you have to go to bed quickly and can’t play any small moves!

Yes, just me, just be with me.

I finally lay on the same bed as Yingying. Yingying seemed very happy and she got into my arms from the beginning.

These days, Yingying has become more and more unscrupulous. In the first few days, she only dared to hold my hand, but now there are almost no small moves she dares to do.

I always teach her a lesson because of this and make her be honest before going to bed, but Yingying always just looks well-behaved and has a bit of a sense of being unchanged after repeated teachings.

But Yingying was very obedient today. She didn't bother me to tell her stories, nor did she insist on sharing with me what she saw at school this day. A few minutes later, I heard a long breath coming from around me.

And today's next door seemed extremely quiet. Sister Juan's efforts seemed to have worked. This was the first time in so many days that I haven't heard those strange sounds coming into my ears.

It would be great if I could always be so peaceful.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, this state is the ideal state for a family of four... Well, if Yingying could sleep honestly in her own bed.

But other people's ideals are the biggest exception for me.

********************

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

No matter how hard Sister Juan tried and whether she had convinced her father, at least during these three days, I didn’t hear Sister Juan’s moans anymore.

After Yingying started the exam, Sister Juan and I were fully committed to supporting her.

Sister Juan would come home from the company more than an hour in advance to prepare lunch and dinner, while I was responsible for Yingying's breakfast and the daily pick-up and drop-off from her home to the examination room.

And my father seemed to have felt something in the past few days. He left home longer, and he often left home in the morning and did not return until late at night.

I never knew what my father did outside and where he went.

I have no interest in this. As long as he does not do anything that harms this family, sister Juan, Yingying, I will not plan to ask about it.

But Sister Juan’s idea is completely different from mine.

After Yingying's exam was over, I found Sister Juan.The three-day deadline has passed long ago, and now it is the fifth day, and I feel it is time for me to get a result.

Xiaoyu, can you give me time today?Don't go to him first, let me have a good talk with your dad.

Sister Juan seemed a little worried. Although she was working hard to help Yingying with the exam these days, I could see that she looked more tired than before, and the smile on her face was getting less and less.

Haven't you told him yet?I asked, Sister Juan shook her head and replied: I said it, I told him the first day..

Then how did he answer?

He... Sister Juan sighed and said helplessly. He said he knew, and then no matter how much I talked to him, he ignored me.These days, I have never thought about talking to him well, but now he wakes up early and goes out directly without eating... and he just falls asleep when he comes back at night. It is difficult for me to say something to him.

I looked at Sister Juan, who seemed a little sad, and said lightly: Isn’t this the same as before?He used to treat this home as a hotel. When he remembered it, he would come back to have a nap and leave the next day at dawn.I think this is good. As long as he no longer causes trouble, then go on like this.

But Sister Juan’s ideas or expectations are obviously different from mine.

But Xiaoyu, are you planning to keep not talking to him like this?

What do I have to say about him?

But he, after all, is your dad...

I looked into Sister Juan's eyes and replied word by word: I know, he is my dad, I remember it.

Then, I lowered my voice and added: Otherwise, why do you think I will endure it until now?With the things he did to you, if he wasn't my dad...

Stop talking about Xiaoyu, please let me know, stop talking... Sister Juan stopped me from continuing to talk. In her opinion, the relationship between me and that person, who is no different from the father and son, is her greatest sorrow.

After all, what she wants is a happy, plain, harmonious home, a home that does not lack anyone.

Xiaoyu, would you please give me some more time?I'll talk to your dad tonight. I will definitely let him listen this time. Please wait a little longer, don't worry, will it be fine?

I watched Sister Juan carefully and even beg me humbly because of her father's affairs, and a feeling of sadness arises in my heart.

Although I don’t think my father can understand Sister Juan’s painstaking efforts, I can’t refuse Sister Juan’s plea at this moment.

Well, I'll wait a little longer.I agreed.

Well, thank you, Xiaoyu.I know you are doing it for my own good, but your father's affairs...ah... Sister Juan could only sigh at the end.

That night, my father still came back from outside very late, and there was a loud noise as soon as he came back.

Yingying was still sleeping in the same bed with me. This girl insisted on taking my sleep with her as a reward for finishing the exam, and stayed in my bed and refused to leave, and I had to agree to her willfulness.

After my father came back, Yingying, who was habitually lying in my arms, was awakened.

Brother... Yingying was a little confused at first, but the screams of Sister Juan from outside the door made her eyes widen in an instant.

It's okay, you go to bed, I'm here.I patted Yingying on the back and comforted her, but my own heart started to pound.

Yingying responded, but I could feel that she had not fallen asleep again. She might have closed her eyes, but her rapid breathing exposed the fact that she was still awake.

The sound outside the door was very noisy, most of which were my father's somewhat harsh voice, but after careful discerning, he could still hear Sister Juan's argument that was striking.

Sister Juan's voice was still low at first, but as time went by, her tone gradually became tough, and even a tendency to overwhelm her father.

I was a little nervous. Sister Juan’s condition made me very worried. I was really worried that I would let her face her father who was gradually getting angry.

But on the other hand, Yingying kept hiding in my arms. If I left her behind to protect Sister Juan now, she would definitely become even more scared and would make the relationship between Sister Juan and me unexplained.

I could only suppress my anxiety and wait for the result quietly.

The voice outside the door was getting louder and louder, and Sister Juan almost started arguing with her father, and just when she didn't know what she said... Bang!After a crisp sound, the air suddenly became silent.

After a while, my father's roar sounded again, but this time I could no longer hear Sister Juan's voice.

Finally, the door of the master bedroom was closed heavily, and it also gave a rest to all this.

Yingying was still holding me, she was still awake, her hands tightly holding my arm, and her uneasiness was also transmitted into my heart through this physical contact.

I really want to rush out of the room immediately, rush into the master bedroom, and see how Sister Juan is doing and what happened.

But I can't let go of Yingying... nor can I let go of my concerns.

Sister Juan said that he hoped I would give her more time, and the quarrel tonight was believed to be proof of Sister Juan's efforts.

She has always opposed me facing my father directly, and opposed me having conflicts with her father for her affairs. If I appear in front of them now, even if I don’t want the conflict, it will definitely intensify. I don’t have the confidence to remain calm in front of my father who just did this kind of thing, and I don’t know how to face Sister Juan, whom I definitely don’t want to appear.

I could only hug Yingying, who was also worried but didn't say a word, and spent another sleepless night.

The next morning, the door of the master bedroom rang out and I turned over and jumped out of the bed.

Yingying was awakened by my movements. She didn't close her eyes until dawn, and now she only slept for three or four hours at most.

She rubbed her eyes and came from the quilt, calling me: Brother, where are you going?

I didn't answer her. At this time, I no longer cared about Yingying's mood.

I rushed out of the room, rushed into the living room, and blocked Sister Juan, who had just walked out of the bedroom and was about to go to the bathroom.

Xiaoyu?Sister Juan was disguised with her hair. She was startled when she saw my sudden appearance, and then immediately reached out to cover half of her face on the left.

Sister Juan!Show me your face!

No, it's okay... I just accidentally touched it yesterday, nothing serious...

Then show me Ah?Sister Juan, don’t lie to me!

Sister Juan still refused. I stopped her and went to break her hand with a tough move.

Xiaoyu, don’t do this, don’t... Sister Juan struggled, but her body didn’t send much force.I finally saw the half of Sister Juan's face blocked with her hands.

A red palm print was printed on her fair skin. The person who waved the slap must have no hands left. Half of Sister Juan's face was slightly swollen, and the palm prints on her beautiful face clearly with her five fingers, which seemed so shocking.

I let go of Sister Juan and rushed directly to the master bedroom.

Xiaoyu!No, no!

Sister Juan immediately grabbed me. She was the same as before and didn't want me to have any conflict with that person.

Although she had suffered such humiliation and torture, she still wanted to protect that person.

You've already done this!I turned around and roared.

Sister Juan trembled all over and stood there in a daze. She held my hand and couldn't help but relax her strength.

But my emotions were already there. I pointed to the door that was close to me and continued to roar: He has already treated you like this, do you still have to protect him?Why, Ah, where is he worthy of your doing this?

Sister Juan's face showed sadness, she just grabbed my hand and repeated: He is your father, he is your father Ah...

I shook Sister Juan's hand away. She could only say this at any time, and only used that blood relationship that I could not deny to suppress my struggle.But I won't back down any more.

At this moment, the door of the master bedroom was pushed open, and the person I was about to confront appeared behind the door.

What's the big deal early in the morning?Gao Yu, what are you making trouble?I looked at my father in front of me and my mood suddenly calmed down.

This is the first time I have stood in front of him like this.

Not being scolded and scolded by him, but accused and accused him.

What are you making trouble?My father was a little impatient when he was waiting. He was wearing pajamas and looked anxious to leave.But I immediately took a step and blocked his way.

What did you do last night?My question stopped my father's steps, but he didn't explain it to me, pressing my shoulders to push me away.

I tightened my muscles all over my body, and didn't let his hands shake me at all.The strength in my father's hands was more than I thought. Didn't he use all his strength?

Seeing that I was still blocking the front and not leaving, my father raised his eyebrows and started yelling: Get out!I don't have time to play this kind of game with you!

My anger surged again. From childhood to adulthood, I couldn't stand my father's attitude of indifferent to others.

When my biological mother passed away, he was so careless that people were acting in tears from my mother's ward.

When the teacher came to the house because of my rebellion, he sent the teacher away on the phone indifferently.

And now, he wants to use this indifferent to me and use this understatement to erase the crimes he committed!

At this time, my father suddenly stopped and his eyes were on my back, where Sister Juan was standing.

Did you come for her?Just for that girl, you dare to stop me from leaving?

You are not allowed to say that to her!

I saw Yingying poking out half of her body from the room, and Sister Juan rushed up and stopped me and my father.

Can you both calm down?Xiaoyu, go back to your room first!Lao Gao, you...Ah!Before Sister Juan could finish her words, her father pushed her away and fell to the ground.

My eyes turned bloody, and my body even took action one step earlier than my will, blocking my father who was still trying to attack Sister Juan.

I used only one hand to push away his fist, pushing him back all the way and put it directly on the door I am.

A muffled bang echoed throughout the living room.

What are you doing?Let go!

I didn't listen to what my father was saying at all. I used all my strength to suppress him at the door and shouted: You are not allowed to hit her!

Have you taken the wrong medicine?Why do you have to protect that girl? Get out of here, get out of here!

I refused to give in, but Sister Juan, who had just gotten up from the ground, rushed to me and leaned on my hand: Xiaoyu, let go!Release quickly!

Don't worry about me!, Get out of here!

The roars made by my father and I tremble all over, and my father, who was blocked by me at the door, pointed at Sister Juan's nose and cursed: What are you pretending to be here?I pretended so well. Do you think I could go out and steal someone if I pretended to be a little bit?

I was stunned, and Sister Juan was stunned.

Sister Juan's face turned red, and she trembled and made a sound: I, I don't!

Humph, don't think I don't know who you are!You can't steal it when I go home. Do you dare to say that you have never done anything that I am sorry for me before I come back?You said Ah!

Sister Juan's expression was completely desperate.

I could feel her eyes had moved to me for a moment, but in the end she still didn't say any rebuttal, covered her face with her hands, and sat on the ground and cried bitterly.

A deep sadness surged in my heart. Sister Juan could clearly say that those things were clearly forced by me unilaterally, but in order to protect me and not to destroy my relationship with my father, she chose to silently endure these crimes imposed on her.

My father was still struggling, and he continued to curse: Why do you cry?You bitch, get up, I shouldn't have been able to win you at the beginning, you... I finally couldn't help it and punched my father in the face.

My father's body opened the door of the master bedroom and fell on the ground behind the door. He was stunned for a while, and then pointed at me with a trembling finger: You, how dare you hit me?You dare to hit your me?

My fists are still clenched, and I have no regrets about this punch.

Get out of here!Get out of here!I just pretended that I hadn't had a child... Before I could finish my father's curse, I rushed out through the gate.

The only thing chasing behind me was Sister Juan's gradually weak voice.

Xiaoyu!Xiaoyu, come back...
