This office was converted from a side hall. The windows were wooden lattices painted in vermilion. Bright sunlight slanted in through the window lattices, and green incense floated in the beams of light.
A bell rang, Jiang Han lowered his eyes to glance at the green dust, and vaguely thought of Wen Qing.
When he was a child, he once went to visit the Lin family with Jiang’s father. At that time, the relationship between Lin Guangyao and Wen Qing was already very cold. When Jiang’s father asked about her, Lin Guangyao didn’t even raise his head and said, “She took the child back to her mother’s home.”
Jiang Han sat next to Jiang’s father and was keenly aware of Lin Guangyao’s perfunctory attitude and irritability.
He followed his father to discuss business with Lin Guangyao, and not long after, Wen Qing came back with a beautiful and quiet boy.
The guests were here, and even though Wen Qing didn’t want to see Lin Guangyao, she still greeted them politely.
The handsome boy also spoke in a clever and sensible manner, “Hello, Uncle Jiang.”
The young man looked at Jiang Han, who was only a few years older than him, thought carefully, and said, “Hello, Brother Jiang Han.”
He looked very serious when he was thinking, as if he was doing math problems, which was quite interesting.
Jiang Han nodded to him.
Wen Qing didn’t want to stay with Lin Guangyao, but Lin Guangyao felt that it was disrespectful for his wife Wen Qing not to receive guests with him, so they started quarreling in front of Jiang’s father and Jiang Han.
Wen Tian, who was standing beside her, pursed his lips tightly, his beautiful round eyes filled with sadness.
As a teenager, he already knew that he had no home.
He didn’t want to see his parents quarreling, as the words between the lines were all about divorce and custody… But he was also afraid that Lin Guangyao would get angry and hit him again, so he could only stand there sadly and worriedly, with red eyes and at a loss.
In the end, it was Jiang’s father’s scolding that stopped the farce.
Wen Qing covered her chest with her hands, her face pale. “I’m sorry, I really can’t control myself.”
She was such a gentle and docile person, but one day she was forced to become a shrew.
Wen Qing smoothed her hair, forced a smile, turned around and said to Wen Tian, ”Tian, go out and play. Mom will make you something delicious tonight.”
Wen Tian, who was chased away, still had red eyes and looked sadly at his quarreling father and mother.
”Ah Tian, go out to play with your brother Jiang Han,” Lin Guangyao suppressed his anger and threw a bank card to Wen Tian, ”Go out to play with your brother. If you want to buy anything, use this card.”
”Dad… Dad really is…”
Lin Guangyao wanted to speak up to defend himself, but after hesitating, he found that he could not find the words to make amends.
Jiang Han stood up and said, “This place is not far from the beach. I just want to go and take a look. Ah Tian, can you take me there?”
Father Jiang also said, “Don’t worry, Uncle Jiang is here and won’t let them quarrel again.”
Wen Tian grabbed the credit card, lowered his eyes, and responded obediently, “Yeah.”
The sound was still muffled, like suppressed crying.
Jiang Han glanced at both parents with a guilty conscience, tried his best to pretend to be a good friend, put his arm around Wen Tian’s shoulders, and dragged him out.
They had met each other on various occasions since they were young, played together and grew up together. By this time, Jiang Han had secretly developed a youthful love for him in his heart.
But he was afraid that Wen Tian would be disgusted by the feelings of the same sex, so he could only carefully hide his love in his heart.
Jiang Han drove him away from the Lin family, and it was sunset when they arrived at the beach.
The romantic and gentle sunset at sea made Wen Tian feel a little better.
Jiang Han stood beside him restrained and nervous, but he couldn’t hide the love in his eyes.
Wen Tian felt uncomfortable and kicked the wet sand with his toes again and again. The tide came and washed away his footprints, graciously accommodating all his bad mood.
Jiang Han also felt uncomfortable, but he was really at a loss at that time.
I have learned a lot of skills to coax people, but when facing Wen Tian, my mind goes blank for a moment.
”Mom and Dad are getting a divorce,” Wen Tian finally spoke up when Jiang Han was trying to exhale and gather his courage, “I don’t have a home anymore.”
The sadness that was suppressed in his chest suddenly burst out, and Wen Tian couldn’t help crying, “I have no home anymore.”
Lin Guangyao and Wen Qing decided to divorce, but neither of them could bear to leave Wen Tian. The first time they fought was because of a fight for his custody.
Even though Lin Guangyao is despicable, his love for Wen Tian is genuine.
But this love eventually became a heavy burden.
Wen Tian burst into tears uncontrollably and leaned on Jiang Han’s shoulder.
He rested his forehead on Jiang Han’s shoulder and hid himself completely in Jiang Han’s figure.
Jiang Han raised his hands, but failed to hold Wen Tian in his arms several times.
At that time, they all thought it was just an ordinary divorce.
Even if they are separated, his parents’ love for him will not change, and his home will exist in another form.
Jiang Han fell into memories, and suddenly woke up after a moment – it was Wen Qing, who left the fire of awakening for them.
It was Wen Qing who burned her own life to help Wen Tian escape from the “world” and change his fate.
During these three years, Jiang Han, the only one who was awake from the beginning, had no memory of Wen Qing.
No one can leave no trace at all for such a long time… There is a high probability that Wen Qing is really… dead.
What about Lin Guangyao who also disappeared for three years?
Lin Qing wrote in his diary that Zhang Bizhen said she could make the world created by Lin Qing real.
Therefore, it is highly likely that Lin Guangyao also sacrificed his life for Zhang Bizhen to help Lin Qing.
Wen Qing and Lin Guangyao…maybe they are no longer with us.
All the resentment, all the unwillingness, all the quarrels, all the love, have disappeared.
His A Tian really has no home anymore.
.
Wen Tian refused to get off the car.
Unwilling to approach the truth, and not wanting to hear any truth.
But the more I try to avoid it, the more real the uneasy feeling becomes.
The scent of incense from the temple wafted in through the car window. Amid the coming and going crowd, Wen Tian curled up in pain, clutching the corner of his clothes helplessly.
But the smell of incense was like a key to open a closed door, reminding him deeply of the gentle female voice he inexplicably heard when he brought Xiaoguai here last time.
A gentle and loving voice prayed to the gods and Buddhas over and over again, “I hope Ah Tian can grow up happily.”
”I hope A Tian will always be happy.”
With fragmented memory, the words “Wen Qing” on the badge that fell in front of him became more and more clear.
The badge swayed back and forth, and the small one-inch ID photo next to it became clearer and clearer.
