Chapter 91: 終于回國了

[Finally Back to the Country]

Song Zhixu stood up and went to the kitchen to help Lin Ran wash the dishes, wiping off the water with a towel and putting them in the cupboard.

There was a dishwasher at home, but Song Zhixu had taught Lin Ran many times, but he still didn’t know he should use it.

Lin Ran seemed to be bad at this kind of modern thing, and was even a bit afraid of it.He always washed with his own hand.

After tidying up the kitchen, Song Zhixu took Lin Ran upstairs, the two of them stayed in the room for a while Song Zhixu gave Lin Ran a cup of milk before lying down with him in his arms.

Before Lin Ran fell asleep, he remembered his two turtles in a daze and forced his eyes open to look at Song Zhi Xu.

“Song Zhi Xu, Xiao Guai and Xiao Guai’s wife are still at home, Ran Ran wants to go back to see them.”

Song Zhi Xu stroked his hair and said in low voice, “Don’t worry ba, I’ll let Mu Qingting feed you for the next few days, we’ll go back to see them as soon as things here are over.”

Lin Ran nodded, yawned and leaned into his arms, not long after he fell into a deep sleep.

Song Zhixu waited until Lin Ran was asleep before slowly releasing him from the bed and left.

He went downstairs and poured a glass of water for Lin Ran, put it on the bedside table, stood beside the bed and looked at Lin Ran for a while, then walked out of the bedroom and went to the study room.

Song Cheng Jing was still busy in the study room, and when he heard the knock on the door, he let Song Zhixu in, and then pointed to the sofa with his chin and told him to sit down first.

Song Zhixu didn’t go to the sofa, but took a chair and sat on the opposite side of the desk from Song Cheng Jing, waiting quietly for him to finish.

Song Cheng Jing finished reading a document, then lifted his head to look at Song Zhixu.

Father and son have some similarities, but Song Zhixu’s face is a bit like Xiao Shilan’s, a bit softer than Song Cheng Jing’s. 

In the end, it was Song Zhixu who spoke first.

“Dad, today I want to ask about that box from last time, according to you, the owner of that box is Lin Ran’s father, Lin Mu said that Lin Ran’s has two fathers, so that Su Hexuan is Lin Ran’s other father, right?”

Song Cheng Jing nodded, the moment he handed Song Zhixu that box of his, he knew that Song Zhixu would know, he didn’t think that he would be so slow to find out, but he was still really no good.

“How did you know Su Hexuan and how did you know the matter about him and Lin Hai? Besides that, why would that box be in your hand, moreover where did Su Hexuan go?”

Song Zhixu asked what he wanted to ask in one breath.

He still understands Song Cheng Jing very well, after all, being his son for so many years. Song Cheng Jing, besides Xiao Shilan, he will not talk more.

What is being asked, he would answer what is being asked but also he would pick what he wants to say, so asking it out all at the same time will save time.

After all, there is still Ran Ran waiting for him to go back to sleep in the room.He had been out too long and was afraid that Ran Ran would be scared when he woke up and couldn’t find him.

“Lin Hai and Su Hexuan are both my university classmates, I don’t know since when they got together, but Su Hexuan found me after he got seriously ill and gave me that iron box.”

Song Cheng Jing glanced at the moon outside the window, “As for where Su Hexuan went…. He died, not long after he looked for me, of cancer.”

Song Zhixu pursed his lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.Although at the time of seeing the house that had been in disrepair for many years, Song Zhixu had actually guessed that the owner of the house might not be there anymore, but knowing that it was Lin Ran’s father, he was holding on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that the person might still be alive.

But now that he had heard the exact news of Su Hexuan’s death, Song Zhixu was at a loss as to whether or not to tell Lin Ran about it.Lin Ran still had a relative in this world who loved him very much, but that person is no longer alive.

He is also afraid that Lin Ran won’t be able to understand, but also afraid that if Lin Ran understands, he’ll be upset.

“Su Hexuan … Where is he buried?”

Since it is Lin Ran’s father, Song Zhixu still wants to take Lin Ran to see it.

Song Zhixu is afraid that Lin Ran won’t understand, and he is also afraid that if Lin Ran understands, he will be sad.

“Su Hexuan …. Where is he buried?”

Since he is Lin Ran’s father, Song Zhixu still wants to take Lin Ran there to take a look.Song Cheng Jing shook his head.

“I don’t know. After he died the ashes were taken away by Lin Hai, only a box was left, left nothing else at all.”

Song Zhixu did not expect this to be the case, but now that Lin Hai was dead, the Lin family only had Lin Mu and Lin Ran left, so he could not ask anyone else.

After thinking about it, Song Zhi Xu finally asked, “Did you have someone to investigate Su He Xuan’s information?”

If someone hadn’t purposely cleared it, a person who had existed wouldn’t have left any trace at all left for no apparent reason.

“It’s me. This is what Su Hexuan asked for before he died, and I agreed to it.”

Song Cheng Jing did not deny it.Song Zhixu did not say more than that, what he wanted to ask, he had finished asking it, he did not stay long in the study room.

Back to the bedroom, Song Zhixu sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the bed sleeping Lin Ran, his heart for a while, there were some complications, he hesitated for a long time or decided not to tell Lin Ran about this matter first.

After all, the people are already gone, telling Lin Ran will only make Lin Ran sad. Moreover Lin Ran seeing Su Hexuan’s photo is not unfamiliar, but afraid, there must be some reason behind it.

According to those photos, they only show Lin Ran when he was about five years old, after that, Su Hexuan should be gone, Lin Ran must not remember him.

After sitting by the bedside for a while, Song Zhixu lifted the guilts and got into bed, hugging Lin Ran tightly in his arms.

The whole matter here is almost over, Song Zhixu went to the hospital to see his grandmother again, and after saying goodbye to his grandparents, he planned to take Lin Ran back to China.

He didn’t intend to stay here for so long, but from the time he arrived to the time I left, more than half a month had passed, and in his company, he still had things to do, moreover Lin Ran needed to go to the hospital to give birth, so Song Zhixu still had to take him away.

The same as the day of arrival, the two people or Xiao Shilan and Song ChengJing personally send them off.

Song Cheng Jing driving, Xiao Shilan and two people sitting in the back seat, along the way, several times she tells Song Zhixu to take good care of Lin Ran.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Song Zhixu’s grandmother had just been discharged from the hospital, Xiao Shilan would have wanted to go back to Country with them.

At the airport, before the two of them boarded the plane, Xiao Shilan hesitated for a moment, but still asked in a low voice.

“Ran Ran, can auntie hold you ah?”

Xiao Shilan was a bit reluctant to give up, but still wanted to try to hug Lin Ran one last time.

Lin Ran subconsciously took a step back and looked at Song Zhixi beside him, and after thinking for a while, he finally made up his mind, gently nodded his head, and gave a small “Hm”.

Xiao Shilan was just a little surprised when Lin Ran opened his arms for her to hug.Xiao Shilan’s eyes were a little red with emotion, and she hurriedly went up, ligtened her own movements, and carefully hugged Lin Ran, but only for a little while, and then she hurriedly let go and took a step back.

Lin Ran was afraid to get closer to Song Zhixu at the moment. He was able to be hugged by someone else and had already tried hard to hold back his fear.Before boarding the plane, Xiao Shilan asked again with red eyes.

“The baby in RanRan’s tummy is three months old, do I look pregnant?”

Lin Ran touched his own belly and shook his head.There was only flesh on his stomach, no baby crawling out.

“Mum, it’s still early, it should be at least four months.”

Song Zhixu was relieved to see that Lin Ran didn’t lift his clothes this time.As the announcement started to remind them to check in, Song Zhixu took Lin Ran’s hand and pulled their small suitcases towards the boarding gate.

In fact, their luggage is not only this, but Xiao Shilan specially packed it for them. Some goods have been shipped back to China in advance, so in the end there is only this small suitcase, which is packed with the two people’s personal clothing.

There are also Lin Ran deliberately from the table of Song Zhixu taking that hand pinch clay doll, and that photo album.

Inside the plane, Lin Ran is still a little reluctant to look down, after a while, asked in a small voice.

“Auntie and uncle can not go back together with us? They didn’t have a seat for them on the plane?”

Song Zhixu took Lin Ran’s hand.

“They still have things to do, we can come and visit them sometime.”

Lin Ran thought about it and nodded, not saying anything anymore.He is afraid that Lin Ran will feel uncomfortable on the plane, Song Zhixu specially cut some fruits for him in the box before departure, Lin Ran ate some on the way, and ate a flight meal, sleepy, slept for a while and then arrived at the capital.It was evening when they got off the plane, Song Zhixu’s car had been parked at the airport.

He took the luggage and brought Lin Ran to the car, they first drove to the supermarket, bought some ingredients and then back to the villa.

At the supermarket entrance, Song Zhixu bought a cup of milk tea for Lin Ran, let him hold it, and then let him sit in the shopping cart to drink.

Song Zhixu picked ingredients and put them beside Lin Ran.

Because we still have to come out tomorrow to take Lin Ran to birth control, Song Zhixu did not buy too much at a time, only bought the amount of two people a day, and then took Lin Ran back to the car.Lin Ran, a cup of milk tea, he couldn’t bear to drink it because Song Zhixu did not allow him to drink more water, seldomly buying it for him.

Every time, a small mouthful, he kept it in the mouth, then he would swallow it.Entering the car, Song Zhixu glanced at him, frowned slightly.

A cup of milk tea, strolling the supermarket, Lin Ran not even finished drink one-third yet, if waiting for him to finish the drink then later they went home and cook a good dinner, they will not be able to eat, he was considering how to make Lin Ran not drink it, of course, can not let him to put the drink until tomorrow to drink it tomorrow.

Milk boba tea, better to drink it at the start, best not to let it stay overnight.

Lin Ran saw that Song Zhi Xu had been staring at his milk tea and thought it was Song Zhi Xu who wanted to drink it, handing it over with both cupped hands.

“Song Zhixu drink it.”

Song Zhixu came back to his senses, glanced at Lin Ran and then at the milk tea in his hand, he didn’t really like drinking this kind of sweet stuff, but this time he didn’t refuse.

With one hand holding Lin Ran’s hand, he lowered his head to hold the straw and took two or three big gulps.

By the time Lin Ran retracted his hand there were only black pearls left inside.Lin Ran looked at the milk tea, and then looked at Song Zhixu, his eyes instantly red.

“No … No more.”

The milk tea that Song Zhi Xu had bought for him with great difficulty was all gone.A layer of mist emerged from Lin Ran’s eyes and he wanted to cry.

Song Zhixu frowned after drinking it, still feeling sweetness in his mouth, seeing Lin Ran cry, he was a little nervous.

“Ran Ran, I …. The cup is too little, drink a little then it’s gone.”

Lin Ran didn’t talk, silently shed a couple of tears.Song Zhixu did not expect him to cry, and hurriedly took him in his arms to coax him.

“Baby, I didn’t do it on purpose, next time I’ll drink less, okay?”
