Lingering to the Bone: The President's Way of Chasing His Wife
Chapter 2284 How Short Life Is
A person's life will always experience a lot of ups and downs. No one spends his life smoothly. Every road is his own choice, and every day is his own footprint!
"So that's it, your life is really meaningful!"
I listened to what my father said. He ate more meals tonight than before. He thought that as long as his father agreed that they would be together, it would be much easier, but he is eating delicious food here. While Xia Jing was on the way to England.
I endured and endured, he thought day and night to go to Xia Jing's home to find Xia Jing, he wanted to ask why Xia Jing was still angry?Why didn't he make a phone call? He thought that even if Xia Jing didn't call him, then if he called Xia Jing, she should answer it!
The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. He didn't expect that Xia Jing wouldn't even answer his own phone calls. He felt that Xia Jing must be still angry, so Zhang Zhentian called Xia Jing a few more times.
"I'm sorry, the number you dialed is turned off, please try again later..." Zhang Zhentian heard the mechanical voice in the phone, and then called again.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily out of service area, please dial later..." The same mechanical voice came from the phone as before.Hearing the sound of this machine, Zhang Zhentian inexplicably felt angry. He ran downstairs angrily, and wanted to go to Xia Jing's house to find Xia Jing, but he was stopped by his father again.
"Zhentian, why are you going?" Mr. Zhang looked at Zhang Zhentian's panic, thinking that something happened to Zhang Zhentian.
"Dad, I'm going to find Xia Jing. I called her so many times and she didn't answer. She hasn't called me once since yesterday. I'm worried that something will happen to her." Zhang Zhentian thought go out.
When your grandfather heard what I said, he felt that his son was so stupid. Mr. Zhang thought to himself: "You silly boy, if you are smarter, you shouldn't listen to my words and stay at home. You should rush out to find Xia Jing. Others We are almost arriving in the UK now, and we must not be able to make phone calls on the plane!"
"Zhentian, if Xia Jing didn't answer the phone, it doesn't mean something will happen to her. Maybe she is still angry with you, so she turned off her phone, and she will be fine in a few days. Besides, it's so late today Now, Xia Jing should go to sleep too." Mr. Zhang still hoped that Zhang Zhentian would not listen to him this time and run out to find Xia Jing, but Zhang Zhentian was so happy that Mr. Zhang agreed that he and Xia Jing would be together. , so he listened to what his father said.
This time, he listened to his father again and didn't go to Xia Jing at home.
On the first day, no one answered my call, on the second day I called and still no one answered, on the third day I called, still no one answered... until the seventh day, no one answered my call, I I feel a little strange.Even if you don't answer the phone for one or two days, what about three or four days?Even if I didn't pick up for three or four days, but it's already the seventh day, why haven't I picked up yet?
I have endured and endured at home for the past few days. He resisted not going to Xia Jing. He wanted Xia Jing not to be angry, and then he went to Xia Jing to admit his mistake, but now Zhang Zhentian really couldn't bear it anymore. I have to go to Xia Jing.
I rushed upstairs to the study to find your grandfather, and he opened the door of the study. When Mr. Zhang saw that the person who came in was Zhang Zhentian, he said to Zhang Zhentian with a straight face, "Zhentian, what's the matter with you?" , don't you know that you have to knock on the door to enter my study?"
I also ignored what your grandfather said, and he said directly: "Dad, today is already the seventh day, and Xia Jing still hasn't answered my call. I'm really worried. I'm going to find her."
Mr. Zhang knew that Zhang Zhentian couldn't bear it anymore, so he didn't say anything else, so he waved his hand to let Zhang Zhentian go out. As soon as Zhang Zhentian got out of the study door, he ran downstairs, his speed was like a trapeze.
Zhang Zhentian drove all the way to Xia Jing's house. When he arrived at Xia Jing's house, he found that Xia Jing's house was already empty, so Zhang Zhentian went to ask the landlord.
"Hello, may I ask, where did the girl who rented your house go?"
"You mean Xia Jing, right?" the landlord asked Zhang Zhentian.
Zhang Zhentian nodded quickly when he heard that the landlord still remembered Xia Jing's name.
"That's right, that's her, that's Xia Jing. Do you know where she went? I haven't contacted her for several days." Zhang Zhentian said excitedly to the landlord.
"I don't know where she is. I only know that she seems to have gone abroad." The landlord's words were undoubtedly a bolt from the blue to Zhang Zhentian. Zhang Zhentian didn't say anything for a while. Only then did Zhang Zhentian come to his senses, and he asked the landlord again.
"Then do you know when she left?"
"It seems like a week ago. Calculate the time and she should have arrived at the destination a week ago."
"Then did she leave anything for you?" Zhang Zhentian asked again.
"She looked very sad when she left, her eyes were red, and she looked like she was crying." The landlord sighed and said to Zhang Zhentian.
After hearing what the landlord said, Zhang Zhentian knew that he must have hurt Xia Jing's heart, so Xia Jing left without saying goodbye. Zhang Zhentian said to the landlord, "Thank you!"
The landlord turned around and left. After walking a few steps, he turned back to Zhang Zhentian and said, "I suddenly remembered that Xia Jing went to the company to look for you that day."
"When?"
"Probably the day she left."
Zhang Zhentian thought about it, he didn't go out at home the day Xia Jing left, did Xia Jing go to the company to find him that day just to tell him that she was going abroad?If this is the case, then Xia Jing didn't leave without saying goodbye, but she missed the only chance to keep her.
The more Zhang Zhentian thought about it, the worse he felt. He hated, he hated himself for arguing with Xia Jing, he hated himself for saying so many things that hurt Xia Jing.Zhang Zhentian thought in his heart: "If I hadn't quarreled with Xia Jing, wouldn't Xia Jing have left? If I hadn't said those things that hurt Xia Jing, wouldn't Xia Jing have left alone heartbroken? "
Zhang Zhentian left Xia Jing's residence in disappointment. He drove the car towards the lake. Along the way, he adjusted the speed of the car to a high speed, and he galloped all the way.When he arrived at the lake, he parked the car there, and he walked to the edge of the lake step by step. He looked at the blue sky and recalled in his mind all the scenes when he and Xia Jing met by the lake.Zhang Zhentian thought about a twinkling teardrop and said that Zhang Zhentian's cheek slid down, Zhang Zhentian cried, and he also felt heartache.Half an hour later, Zhang Zhentian shouted into the wide lake: "Xia Jing, I know I was wrong, come back! I shouldn't make you sad, don't leave me alone, come back quickly..." Zhang Zhentian Shouting one after another, he thought that Xia Jing would appear in front of him just like before when he shouted loudly at the lake.
Zhang Zhentian didn't see Xia Jing after calling for a long time. He believed that Xia Jing really left him and left this time.
Zhang Zhentian returned home and shut himself in the room. Aunt Xu told Zhang Zhentian to go down to eat, but he refused to eat. He just stood by the window of the bedroom in a daze, drinking bottle after bottle of white wine. When he couldn't stand still, he moved a chair to the window and sat on the chair to continue drinking.Sip after sip, bottle after bottle, until he drank so much that he passed out.
Zhang Zhentian fell asleep and was still reciting Xia Jing's name. When Mr. Zhang came in and saw his son like this, he felt a little sad. He took the quilt and walked to Zhang Zhentian's side, and gently covered Zhang Zhentian with the quilt. Holding Mr. Zhang's hand, he kept muttering: "I'm sorry, Xia Jing, I didn't mean to say those words to anger you, I know I was wrong, please don't leave me..." Zhang Zhentian said Tears flowed out.Seeing Zhang Zhentian like this, Mr. Zhang felt conflicted. He wanted to tell his son where Xia Jing was, but he promised to keep Xia Jing a secret. In the end, Mr. Zhang decided to wait until Zhang Zhentian asked.
Zhang Zhentian drank a lot at home, and it was already the third day when he woke up.
In the morning, Zhang Zhentian opened his eyes in a daze. He felt dizzy. He stood up unsteadily and found that he was lying on a chair with an extra quilt on his body. He thought it was Xia Jing who came to his house to give him a blanket. Covered quilt, he picked up the quilt that fell on the floor and threw it on the chair, then hurried downstairs, calling Xia Jing's name while running, when he went downstairs, Mr. Zhang was eating breakfast , Seeing Zhang Zhentian's voice coming downstairs, Mr. Zhang thought it was an earthquake.
Zhang Zhentian ran downstairs and looked around. He didn't see Xia Jing. He looked at his father who was eating breakfast and stared at him blankly. He walked over step by step and said to Mr. Zhang, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" ? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Mr. Zhang smiled at Zhang Zhentian and said, "Are you finally willing to wake up?"
Zhang Zhentian didn't understand what Mr. Zhang said, so he asked again: "Dad, what do you mean by that? What do you mean I'm finally willing to wake up? Didn't I just get drunk and sleep all day?"
Looking at his silly son, Mr. Zhang felt speechless.
"Are you sure you only slept for one day?" Mr. Zhang asked.
When Zhang Zhentian heard his father say this, he thought to himself: "Did I sleep for more than one day? Did I sleep for two days?"
Mr. Zhang looked at his son in a daze and said slowly: "You have been asleep for three days, you really don't know?"
"I have no idea!"
Mr. Zhang looked at Zhang Zhentian with a half-smile, and shook his head from time to time.Looking at his father's expression, Zhang Zhentian knew that his father would not believe it. Zhang Zhentian immediately said, "I really don't know!"
"You really don't know?" Mr. Zhang asked Zhang Zhentian back.
"Dad, I said, can you give me more trust? I really don't know that I have slept for three days. I just remember that I went to find Xia Jing that day, and found that Xia Jing's house had already been deserted. Later, I also learned from Xia Jing’s landlord that Xia Jing went abroad a few days ago, and then I went to the lake, and then I went home to drink, and finally fell asleep. I probably know this.”
After Zhang Zhentian finished speaking, he looked at his father. Mr. Zhang nodded half-understood, and then shook his head. Zhang Zhentian looked at his father's expression and felt very tired. He asked, "Dad, do you understand?" You still don’t understand?”
"I understand but understand." Mr. Zhang was not embarrassed at all, he answered his son's question very decisively.
Zhang Zhentian didn't know how to tell his father when he heard his father's answer.
Mr. Zhang looked at his son who was left speechless by his own words, and he felt it was funny.Zhang Zhentian said to Mr. Zhang, "Dad, I want to ask you a question."
Hearing what Zhang Zhentian said, Mr. Zhang thought that Zhang Zhentian must have discovered something. He was expecting his son to ask that question, and as long as Zhang Zhentian asked that question, he would tell Zhang Zhentian everything.
"Okay, tell me." Mr. Zhang looked at Zhang Zhentian expectantly.But Zhang Zhentian's question disappointed him.
"I heard from Xia Jing's landlord that Xia Jing went to the company on the day she left. Is this true?"
Mr. Zhang's expectation was still in vain, he said without humility: "That's right, there was such a thing, you were not in the company at that time."
"It turns out that Xia Jing really went to the company, so did she go to the company to say goodbye to me or go to the company to make up with me?" Zhang Zhentian said to himself.
Mr. Zhang heard Zhang Zhentian talking to himself alone, and couldn't help asking: "Zhentian, what are you muttering about?"
Zhang Zhentian came back to his senses and said, "Dad, did Xia Jing look for me that day?"
Zhang Zhentian looked at his father eagerly. He hoped that his father would say "yes", but he didn't want his father to say "yes".
Faced with Zhang Zhentian's question, Mr. Zhang also felt that it was difficult to answer. He knew in his heart what his son was thinking?If he said "yes", then Zhang Zhentian would definitely blame himself for missing the only chance to keep Xia Jing, but if he said "no", then Zhang Zhentian would also be sad, and he would feel that it was because of him that Xia Jing was not told. And don't.This is really a dilemma, what should I say?
Zhang Zhentian looked at his hesitant father, and he hurried over to hold Mr. Zhang's shoulders with both hands. He kept shaking Mr. Zhang, and kept asking, "Is it right? Can you tell me? "
Mr. Zhang looked at Zhang Zhentian who seemed to have gone crazy, and he didn't know what to say anymore.
"Dad, tell me, did Xia Jing go to the company to find me?" Zhang Zhentian continued to ask his father persistently.
"Zhentian, let go first, I'm dizzy from your shaking, okay, I'll tell you." Mr. Zhang was so dizzy from Zhang Zhentian's shaking, he had no choice but to let Zhang Zhentian let go first.
When Zhang Zhentian heard his father tell him, he immediately let go of his hand, and urged Mr. Zhang, "Speak quickly, speak quickly."
Mr. Zhang yelled at Zhang Zhentian unceremoniously: "Why are you so anxious, I am dizzy from you, at least you have to let me slow down so that I don't feel dizzy before I wake up!"
When Zhang Zhentian heard that it was the same, he said courteously to Mr. Zhang: "Okay, Dad, please wait a bit and I'll get you a glass of water."
"That's about the same!" Mr. Zhang was still the same as before, he wanted to enjoy the feeling of being served by his son first.
Zhang Zhentian walked towards the kettle in three steps and two steps in parallel. He quickly poured a glass of water and sent it to Mr. Zhang.
Mr. Zhang took the water that Zhang Zhentian handed him, and took a sip directly. He regretted it if he didn't drink it.Mr. Zhang's tongue was blistered from being scalded. He raised his head to look at Zhang Zhentian, and yelled at Zhang Zhentian, "What are you doing? You want to burn me to death, don't you?"
Zhang Zhentian said apologetically to Mr. Zhang, "Dad, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you. The water was just boiled, so I poured it for you without adding cold."
Mr. Zhang was so angry that he was about to die. He stood up and was about to go upstairs, but Zhang Zhentian grabbed him.
"Dad, you haven't told me yet? That day Xia Jing..."
Before Zhang Zhentian finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mr. Zhang.
"Needless to say, you still do this when you ask me for something? Even if you have nothing to ask me for, I am also the father who gave birth to you and raised you. You shouldn't scald me with boiling water." Mr. Zhang turned around and left.
Zhang Zhentian looked at the back of Mr. Zhang walking away, and he shouted at his back: "Dad, can't you be considerate of me? I am Xia Jing's boyfriend. I can't contact her now that she has gone abroad. As a Shouldn't I be worried about her boyfriend?"
It's fine if Zhang Zhentian doesn't say anything, but as soon as he said it, Mr. Zhang's anger was amplified by Zhang Zhentian's words.
When Mr. Zhang heard what Zhang Zhentian said to him, he couldn't help turning his head and yelling at Zhang Zhentian: "You are her boyfriend and you can't get in touch with her. You should be worried. Then I gave birth to you and raised you for so many years. She scalded me with boiling water, is this what you should do as a child?"
Zhang Zhentian was silenced by Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang looked at Zhang Zhentian who was silent, and he continued: "You can disobey your father for a woman, and you can do everything for a woman. I can understand all of this. Because I am your father, but what you did today really disappointed me, are you so absent-minded? You can even forget to tell me that the water has just boiled? Do you still have me as a father in your heart? "
As Mr. Zhang spoke, tears began to glisten in his eyes. Zhang Zhentian looked at his father who had become like this because he was disappointed, and he realized that his father had already started to have gray hair on his head. He suddenly realized that he cared too much for his father. not enough.
Mr. Zhang turned around and went upstairs. Zhang Zhentian looked at the back of his father leaving hesitantly, but couldn't say a word. He felt a little sorry for his father's cultivation and felt ashamed in his heart.
When Mr. Zhang returned to his bedroom, he couldn't help sighing. He thought back to the time when Zhang Zhentian met Xia Jing until Xia Jing left. He thought, "Could it be that I really went too far? The reason why you treat me like this is because you shouldn’t have treated Xia Jing too much in the first place? Do you deserve everything that happened now? Oh, Xia Jing, Xia Jing, do you think I did something wrong? Am I not I shouldn't help you keep a secret, should I tell Zhentian where you are?"
Mr. Zhang was talking to himself in the bedroom alone. He didn't know what was the right thing to do. Now he had begun to recognize Xia Jing as his daughter-in-law from the bottom of his heart. He didn't want to lose Xia Jing as his daughter-in-law.He used to think that Xia Jing was not worthy of his son, but after some things, he saw through a lot, and now he began to gradually feel that it was not that Xia Jing was not worthy of his son, but that his son was not worthy of Xia Jing .
After thinking about it, Mr. Zhang felt sleepy, so he raised his hand and looked at his watch: "No wonder I feel sleepy. It turned out to be early in the morning. Alas! Don't think about it, go to sleep."
As soon as Mr. Zhang lay down, he fell asleep and snored.
Mr. Zhang slept very comfortably, but Zhang Zhentian didn't sleep well. When Mr. Zhang caught him drinking, he went back to his room and stood on his head.It turns out that the house rules say that if you steal alcohol, you will stand on your head all night.Although Zhang Zhentian was standing on his head, he was still thinking about where Xia Jing had gone. He thought that if he hadn't scalded his father with boiling water absent-mindedly that day, he would have known who Xia Jing was looking for at the company that day.
"Oh, I'm all to blame, I'd better be punished, and I'll ask my dad tomorrow, um, let's do it like this." Zhang Zhentian thought.
Zhang Zhentian looked at the sky outside with a frown, he was waiting for the dawn, standing on his head, he felt that every minute passed was like sitting for a century.
late at night.
Zhang Zhentian was so sleepy that he fell asleep in a daze while standing on his head. The time he fell asleep lived really fast. The time passed by every minute and every second, and the sky finally gradually brightened.
As soon as the sun came out in the morning, a beam of light shot into Zhang Zhentian's bedroom, which hurt Zhang Zhentian's eyes. Zhang Zhentian opened his sleepy eyes in a daze, and when he turned his eyes, he saw the rising sun. The son sat up: "It's finally dawn, and the time passed quickly when I was asleep, and it was dawn in the blink of an eye."
Zhang Zhentian was overjoyed. He opened the closet door and took out a set of casual clothes, gray trousers, gray clothes, and white short sleeves.After changing his clothes, he hurried downstairs. He saw his father sitting on the sofa, so he walked over and sat down.
"Dad, have you had breakfast?" Zhang Zhentian asked Mr. Zhang cautiously.
Mr. Zhang glanced at Zhang Zhentian and said unhappily: "You don't care if I eat or not, have you had enough wine?"
Zhang Zhentian knew that his father was still angry with him as soon as he heard his father's tone. In order to know about Xia Jing from his father, Zhang Zhentian had to bow his head and admit his mistake.
"Dad, I know I was wrong, so don't be angry, I will never steal alcohol from now on." Zhang Zhentian swore to Mr. Zhang.
Seeing that Zhang Zhentian's attitude of admitting his mistakes was not bad, Mr. Zhang said, "Tell me, what can you do with me?"
As soon as Zhang Zhentian heard it, he hurriedly asked, "Dad, can you tell me what I asked you that day?"
Although Mr. Zhang knew that Xia Jing must be the reason why Zhang Zhentian asked him for something, he didn't expect that Zhang Zhentian would not be tactful at all, and asked directly.
"What did you say the other day?" Mr. Zhang asked Zhang Zhentian pretending not to know.
Zhang Zhentian was taken aback, did dad forget what he said that day so soon?Dad's memory is very good, even if he remembers things from a long time ago, it's only been a few days, how could he not remember?Could it be that Dad was testing himself to see if he really repented?
"Dad, that's right, that's what I said the day I accidentally burned you with boiling water." Zhang Zhentian submissively said to Mr. Zhang.
Maybe when you are young, you will feel that all these are helpless choices, but later on, you will find that all these are the last thing you want to see, and you would rather work harder when you were young!
"Oh, did you burn me with boiling water? Why didn't I know?" Mr. Zhang still deliberately pretended not to remember what happened that day. He said while observing Zhang Zhentian's reaction.
Seeing his father like this, Zhang Zhentian could only bite the bullet and said: "Dad, I was wrong that day. I shouldn't be absent-minded, I shouldn't have failed to control my emotions, and said something to you that hurt your heart. I'm sorry, you adults don't care about villains But, please forgive me!" Zhang Zhentian said and bowed his head to Mr. Zhang.
"So you would say sorry, Zhentian, do you really have me as a father in your heart? Since you and Xia Jing have been together, you have been talking about Xia Jing every day. I am afraid that you have long since lost my father in your heart." ?” Mr. Zhang said chattingly.
Zhang Zhentian was speechless by his father's sudden question, what could he say?Is he going to say to his father who has raised him for decades, "Dad, you are right, I have long since lost your place in my heart?" 'Isn't it hurting my father to say that?But if you say to your father, 'Dad, you are wrong, you are always the most important in my heart? 'If I said that, my father would not be so sad, but if Xia Jing found out after I said this, Xia Jing would definitely be angry.Zhang Zhentian was very conflicted, he didn't know how to answer that was the best for his father.
Mr. Zhang seemed to see what Zhang Zhentian was hesitating about. Mr. Zhang said to Zhang Zhentian, "You don't have to think of something to say to me that has the best of both worlds. Since I asked you this, I definitely hope you can tell the truth."
It was even more difficult for Zhang Zhentian to speak when he heard Mr. Zhang say this.
"Dad, I..."
Mr. Zhang suddenly stood up and slapped Zhang Zhentian across the face: "Are you a man? Just tell me what I want to say. What I hate the most in my life is a person like you who is sloppy and not decisive at all. Like you, I don’t dare to say anything to you, how could there be a way out? I don’t even know how Xia Jing would fall in love with a yes person like you. If I were Xia Jing, since I’m gone for the rest of my life, I won’t come back again, huh !"
Mr. Zhang was so angry that his whole body was trembling. Zhang Zhentian was scolded by his father, and immediately yelled at Mr. Zhang: "That's right, Xia Jing is all in my heart. I do things so submissively, but I'm still born to you." Son, this is a fact that cannot be changed."
The first half of my sentence didn't hurt Mr. Zhang, but the second half made Mr. Zhang blush with anger.
"Don't you want to know if Xia Jing went to the company that day to find you?" Your grandfather said to Zhang Zhentian unhurriedly.
"I want to know, but I asked you a few times and you didn't answer me. I know I shouldn't have scalded you with boiling water carelessly last time, but I have already told you too modestly, what do you want me to do?" Like?" Zhang Zhentian roared furiously.
"If you want to know, then I'll tell you now. You are right. Xia Jing went to the company half to find you, but half to see me." Your grandfather told Xia Jing's purpose for going to the company .
"It turns out that Xia Jing really went to the company to look for me, but I didn't see Xia Jing because of my narrow-mindedness." I said to myself.
Your grandpa looked at me in such a daze, he didn't know what to say for a while, and I spoke when he was about to turn around and leave.
"Dad, you said that Xia Jing went to the company to see you?" I asked.
"Yes, what's the problem?"
"Dad, can you tell me why Xia Jing went to the company to meet you?" I suspect your grandpa knows where Xia Jing has gone.
When your grandpa heard me ask this question, although the expression on his face didn't change much, he was still very stern, but he was still very happy in his heart. Your grandpa thought silently in his heart: "Finally, this is the end of the question!"
Your grandfather just looked at me, but he didn't speak. When I looked at my father who didn't speak, I became even more suspicious.
"Dad, tell the truth, do you know where Xia Jing went?"
"Zhentian, why do you ask such a question? How could I know where Xia Jing went." Your grandfather asked instead of answering.
"You must know." I said with certainty.
Unexpectedly, we all came here like this, don't you think you are much happier than me?
My son, be content and happy!
There will always be people who say: wait a little longer, just one more day, I will definitely do what I will do tomorrow... But how did he know that tomorrow will be tomorrow, and there will be so many tomorrows?
"So that's it, your life is really meaningful!"
I listened to what my father said. He ate more meals tonight than before. He thought that as long as his father agreed that they would be together, it would be much easier, but he is eating delicious food here. While Xia Jing was on the way to England.
I endured and endured, he thought day and night to go to Xia Jing's home to find Xia Jing, he wanted to ask why Xia Jing was still angry?Why didn't he make a phone call? He thought that even if Xia Jing didn't call him, then if he called Xia Jing, she should answer it!
The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. He didn't expect that Xia Jing wouldn't even answer his own phone calls. He felt that Xia Jing must be still angry, so Zhang Zhentian called Xia Jing a few more times.
"I'm sorry, the number you dialed is turned off, please try again later..." Zhang Zhentian heard the mechanical voice in the phone, and then called again.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily out of service area, please dial later..." The same mechanical voice came from the phone as before.Hearing the sound of this machine, Zhang Zhentian inexplicably felt angry. He ran downstairs angrily, and wanted to go to Xia Jing's house to find Xia Jing, but he was stopped by his father again.
"Zhentian, why are you going?" Mr. Zhang looked at Zhang Zhentian's panic, thinking that something happened to Zhang Zhentian.
"Dad, I'm going to find Xia Jing. I called her so many times and she didn't answer. She hasn't called me once since yesterday. I'm worried that something will happen to her." Zhang Zhentian thought go out.
When your grandfather heard what I said, he felt that his son was so stupid. Mr. Zhang thought to himself: "You silly boy, if you are smarter, you shouldn't listen to my words and stay at home. You should rush out to find Xia Jing. Others We are almost arriving in the UK now, and we must not be able to make phone calls on the plane!"
"Zhentian, if Xia Jing didn't answer the phone, it doesn't mean something will happen to her. Maybe she is still angry with you, so she turned off her phone, and she will be fine in a few days. Besides, it's so late today Now, Xia Jing should go to sleep too." Mr. Zhang still hoped that Zhang Zhentian would not listen to him this time and run out to find Xia Jing, but Zhang Zhentian was so happy that Mr. Zhang agreed that he and Xia Jing would be together. , so he listened to what his father said.
This time, he listened to his father again and didn't go to Xia Jing at home.
On the first day, no one answered my call, on the second day I called and still no one answered, on the third day I called, still no one answered... until the seventh day, no one answered my call, I I feel a little strange.Even if you don't answer the phone for one or two days, what about three or four days?Even if I didn't pick up for three or four days, but it's already the seventh day, why haven't I picked up yet?
I have endured and endured at home for the past few days. He resisted not going to Xia Jing. He wanted Xia Jing not to be angry, and then he went to Xia Jing to admit his mistake, but now Zhang Zhentian really couldn't bear it anymore. I have to go to Xia Jing.
I rushed upstairs to the study to find your grandfather, and he opened the door of the study. When Mr. Zhang saw that the person who came in was Zhang Zhentian, he said to Zhang Zhentian with a straight face, "Zhentian, what's the matter with you?" , don't you know that you have to knock on the door to enter my study?"
I also ignored what your grandfather said, and he said directly: "Dad, today is already the seventh day, and Xia Jing still hasn't answered my call. I'm really worried. I'm going to find her."
Mr. Zhang knew that Zhang Zhentian couldn't bear it anymore, so he didn't say anything else, so he waved his hand to let Zhang Zhentian go out. As soon as Zhang Zhentian got out of the study door, he ran downstairs, his speed was like a trapeze.
Zhang Zhentian drove all the way to Xia Jing's house. When he arrived at Xia Jing's house, he found that Xia Jing's house was already empty, so Zhang Zhentian went to ask the landlord.
"Hello, may I ask, where did the girl who rented your house go?"
"You mean Xia Jing, right?" the landlord asked Zhang Zhentian.
Zhang Zhentian nodded quickly when he heard that the landlord still remembered Xia Jing's name.
"That's right, that's her, that's Xia Jing. Do you know where she went? I haven't contacted her for several days." Zhang Zhentian said excitedly to the landlord.
"I don't know where she is. I only know that she seems to have gone abroad." The landlord's words were undoubtedly a bolt from the blue to Zhang Zhentian. Zhang Zhentian didn't say anything for a while. Only then did Zhang Zhentian come to his senses, and he asked the landlord again.
"Then do you know when she left?"
"It seems like a week ago. Calculate the time and she should have arrived at the destination a week ago."
"Then did she leave anything for you?" Zhang Zhentian asked again.
"She looked very sad when she left, her eyes were red, and she looked like she was crying." The landlord sighed and said to Zhang Zhentian.
After hearing what the landlord said, Zhang Zhentian knew that he must have hurt Xia Jing's heart, so Xia Jing left without saying goodbye. Zhang Zhentian said to the landlord, "Thank you!"
The landlord turned around and left. After walking a few steps, he turned back to Zhang Zhentian and said, "I suddenly remembered that Xia Jing went to the company to look for you that day."
"When?"
"Probably the day she left."
Zhang Zhentian thought about it, he didn't go out at home the day Xia Jing left, did Xia Jing go to the company to find him that day just to tell him that she was going abroad?If this is the case, then Xia Jing didn't leave without saying goodbye, but she missed the only chance to keep her.
The more Zhang Zhentian thought about it, the worse he felt. He hated, he hated himself for arguing with Xia Jing, he hated himself for saying so many things that hurt Xia Jing.Zhang Zhentian thought in his heart: "If I hadn't quarreled with Xia Jing, wouldn't Xia Jing have left? If I hadn't said those things that hurt Xia Jing, wouldn't Xia Jing have left alone heartbroken? "
Zhang Zhentian left Xia Jing's residence in disappointment. He drove the car towards the lake. Along the way, he adjusted the speed of the car to a high speed, and he galloped all the way.When he arrived at the lake, he parked the car there, and he walked to the edge of the lake step by step. He looked at the blue sky and recalled in his mind all the scenes when he and Xia Jing met by the lake.Zhang Zhentian thought about a twinkling teardrop and said that Zhang Zhentian's cheek slid down, Zhang Zhentian cried, and he also felt heartache.Half an hour later, Zhang Zhentian shouted into the wide lake: "Xia Jing, I know I was wrong, come back! I shouldn't make you sad, don't leave me alone, come back quickly..." Zhang Zhentian Shouting one after another, he thought that Xia Jing would appear in front of him just like before when he shouted loudly at the lake.
Zhang Zhentian didn't see Xia Jing after calling for a long time. He believed that Xia Jing really left him and left this time.
Zhang Zhentian returned home and shut himself in the room. Aunt Xu told Zhang Zhentian to go down to eat, but he refused to eat. He just stood by the window of the bedroom in a daze, drinking bottle after bottle of white wine. When he couldn't stand still, he moved a chair to the window and sat on the chair to continue drinking.Sip after sip, bottle after bottle, until he drank so much that he passed out.
Zhang Zhentian fell asleep and was still reciting Xia Jing's name. When Mr. Zhang came in and saw his son like this, he felt a little sad. He took the quilt and walked to Zhang Zhentian's side, and gently covered Zhang Zhentian with the quilt. Holding Mr. Zhang's hand, he kept muttering: "I'm sorry, Xia Jing, I didn't mean to say those words to anger you, I know I was wrong, please don't leave me..." Zhang Zhentian said Tears flowed out.Seeing Zhang Zhentian like this, Mr. Zhang felt conflicted. He wanted to tell his son where Xia Jing was, but he promised to keep Xia Jing a secret. In the end, Mr. Zhang decided to wait until Zhang Zhentian asked.
Zhang Zhentian drank a lot at home, and it was already the third day when he woke up.
In the morning, Zhang Zhentian opened his eyes in a daze. He felt dizzy. He stood up unsteadily and found that he was lying on a chair with an extra quilt on his body. He thought it was Xia Jing who came to his house to give him a blanket. Covered quilt, he picked up the quilt that fell on the floor and threw it on the chair, then hurried downstairs, calling Xia Jing's name while running, when he went downstairs, Mr. Zhang was eating breakfast , Seeing Zhang Zhentian's voice coming downstairs, Mr. Zhang thought it was an earthquake.
Zhang Zhentian ran downstairs and looked around. He didn't see Xia Jing. He looked at his father who was eating breakfast and stared at him blankly. He walked over step by step and said to Mr. Zhang, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" ? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Mr. Zhang smiled at Zhang Zhentian and said, "Are you finally willing to wake up?"
Zhang Zhentian didn't understand what Mr. Zhang said, so he asked again: "Dad, what do you mean by that? What do you mean I'm finally willing to wake up? Didn't I just get drunk and sleep all day?"
Looking at his silly son, Mr. Zhang felt speechless.
"Are you sure you only slept for one day?" Mr. Zhang asked.
When Zhang Zhentian heard his father say this, he thought to himself: "Did I sleep for more than one day? Did I sleep for two days?"
Mr. Zhang looked at his son in a daze and said slowly: "You have been asleep for three days, you really don't know?"
"I have no idea!"
Mr. Zhang looked at Zhang Zhentian with a half-smile, and shook his head from time to time.Looking at his father's expression, Zhang Zhentian knew that his father would not believe it. Zhang Zhentian immediately said, "I really don't know!"
"You really don't know?" Mr. Zhang asked Zhang Zhentian back.
"Dad, I said, can you give me more trust? I really don't know that I have slept for three days. I just remember that I went to find Xia Jing that day, and found that Xia Jing's house had already been deserted. Later, I also learned from Xia Jing’s landlord that Xia Jing went abroad a few days ago, and then I went to the lake, and then I went home to drink, and finally fell asleep. I probably know this.”
After Zhang Zhentian finished speaking, he looked at his father. Mr. Zhang nodded half-understood, and then shook his head. Zhang Zhentian looked at his father's expression and felt very tired. He asked, "Dad, do you understand?" You still don’t understand?”
"I understand but understand." Mr. Zhang was not embarrassed at all, he answered his son's question very decisively.
Zhang Zhentian didn't know how to tell his father when he heard his father's answer.
Mr. Zhang looked at his son who was left speechless by his own words, and he felt it was funny.Zhang Zhentian said to Mr. Zhang, "Dad, I want to ask you a question."
Hearing what Zhang Zhentian said, Mr. Zhang thought that Zhang Zhentian must have discovered something. He was expecting his son to ask that question, and as long as Zhang Zhentian asked that question, he would tell Zhang Zhentian everything.
"Okay, tell me." Mr. Zhang looked at Zhang Zhentian expectantly.But Zhang Zhentian's question disappointed him.
"I heard from Xia Jing's landlord that Xia Jing went to the company on the day she left. Is this true?"
Mr. Zhang's expectation was still in vain, he said without humility: "That's right, there was such a thing, you were not in the company at that time."
"It turns out that Xia Jing really went to the company, so did she go to the company to say goodbye to me or go to the company to make up with me?" Zhang Zhentian said to himself.
Mr. Zhang heard Zhang Zhentian talking to himself alone, and couldn't help asking: "Zhentian, what are you muttering about?"
Zhang Zhentian came back to his senses and said, "Dad, did Xia Jing look for me that day?"
Zhang Zhentian looked at his father eagerly. He hoped that his father would say "yes", but he didn't want his father to say "yes".
Faced with Zhang Zhentian's question, Mr. Zhang also felt that it was difficult to answer. He knew in his heart what his son was thinking?If he said "yes", then Zhang Zhentian would definitely blame himself for missing the only chance to keep Xia Jing, but if he said "no", then Zhang Zhentian would also be sad, and he would feel that it was because of him that Xia Jing was not told. And don't.This is really a dilemma, what should I say?
Zhang Zhentian looked at his hesitant father, and he hurried over to hold Mr. Zhang's shoulders with both hands. He kept shaking Mr. Zhang, and kept asking, "Is it right? Can you tell me? "
Mr. Zhang looked at Zhang Zhentian who seemed to have gone crazy, and he didn't know what to say anymore.
"Dad, tell me, did Xia Jing go to the company to find me?" Zhang Zhentian continued to ask his father persistently.
"Zhentian, let go first, I'm dizzy from your shaking, okay, I'll tell you." Mr. Zhang was so dizzy from Zhang Zhentian's shaking, he had no choice but to let Zhang Zhentian let go first.
When Zhang Zhentian heard his father tell him, he immediately let go of his hand, and urged Mr. Zhang, "Speak quickly, speak quickly."
Mr. Zhang yelled at Zhang Zhentian unceremoniously: "Why are you so anxious, I am dizzy from you, at least you have to let me slow down so that I don't feel dizzy before I wake up!"
When Zhang Zhentian heard that it was the same, he said courteously to Mr. Zhang: "Okay, Dad, please wait a bit and I'll get you a glass of water."
"That's about the same!" Mr. Zhang was still the same as before, he wanted to enjoy the feeling of being served by his son first.
Zhang Zhentian walked towards the kettle in three steps and two steps in parallel. He quickly poured a glass of water and sent it to Mr. Zhang.
Mr. Zhang took the water that Zhang Zhentian handed him, and took a sip directly. He regretted it if he didn't drink it.Mr. Zhang's tongue was blistered from being scalded. He raised his head to look at Zhang Zhentian, and yelled at Zhang Zhentian, "What are you doing? You want to burn me to death, don't you?"
Zhang Zhentian said apologetically to Mr. Zhang, "Dad, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you. The water was just boiled, so I poured it for you without adding cold."
Mr. Zhang was so angry that he was about to die. He stood up and was about to go upstairs, but Zhang Zhentian grabbed him.
"Dad, you haven't told me yet? That day Xia Jing..."
Before Zhang Zhentian finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mr. Zhang.
"Needless to say, you still do this when you ask me for something? Even if you have nothing to ask me for, I am also the father who gave birth to you and raised you. You shouldn't scald me with boiling water." Mr. Zhang turned around and left.
Zhang Zhentian looked at the back of Mr. Zhang walking away, and he shouted at his back: "Dad, can't you be considerate of me? I am Xia Jing's boyfriend. I can't contact her now that she has gone abroad. As a Shouldn't I be worried about her boyfriend?"
It's fine if Zhang Zhentian doesn't say anything, but as soon as he said it, Mr. Zhang's anger was amplified by Zhang Zhentian's words.
When Mr. Zhang heard what Zhang Zhentian said to him, he couldn't help turning his head and yelling at Zhang Zhentian: "You are her boyfriend and you can't get in touch with her. You should be worried. Then I gave birth to you and raised you for so many years. She scalded me with boiling water, is this what you should do as a child?"
Zhang Zhentian was silenced by Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang looked at Zhang Zhentian who was silent, and he continued: "You can disobey your father for a woman, and you can do everything for a woman. I can understand all of this. Because I am your father, but what you did today really disappointed me, are you so absent-minded? You can even forget to tell me that the water has just boiled? Do you still have me as a father in your heart? "
As Mr. Zhang spoke, tears began to glisten in his eyes. Zhang Zhentian looked at his father who had become like this because he was disappointed, and he realized that his father had already started to have gray hair on his head. He suddenly realized that he cared too much for his father. not enough.
Mr. Zhang turned around and went upstairs. Zhang Zhentian looked at the back of his father leaving hesitantly, but couldn't say a word. He felt a little sorry for his father's cultivation and felt ashamed in his heart.
When Mr. Zhang returned to his bedroom, he couldn't help sighing. He thought back to the time when Zhang Zhentian met Xia Jing until Xia Jing left. He thought, "Could it be that I really went too far? The reason why you treat me like this is because you shouldn’t have treated Xia Jing too much in the first place? Do you deserve everything that happened now? Oh, Xia Jing, Xia Jing, do you think I did something wrong? Am I not I shouldn't help you keep a secret, should I tell Zhentian where you are?"
Mr. Zhang was talking to himself in the bedroom alone. He didn't know what was the right thing to do. Now he had begun to recognize Xia Jing as his daughter-in-law from the bottom of his heart. He didn't want to lose Xia Jing as his daughter-in-law.He used to think that Xia Jing was not worthy of his son, but after some things, he saw through a lot, and now he began to gradually feel that it was not that Xia Jing was not worthy of his son, but that his son was not worthy of Xia Jing .
After thinking about it, Mr. Zhang felt sleepy, so he raised his hand and looked at his watch: "No wonder I feel sleepy. It turned out to be early in the morning. Alas! Don't think about it, go to sleep."
As soon as Mr. Zhang lay down, he fell asleep and snored.
Mr. Zhang slept very comfortably, but Zhang Zhentian didn't sleep well. When Mr. Zhang caught him drinking, he went back to his room and stood on his head.It turns out that the house rules say that if you steal alcohol, you will stand on your head all night.Although Zhang Zhentian was standing on his head, he was still thinking about where Xia Jing had gone. He thought that if he hadn't scalded his father with boiling water absent-mindedly that day, he would have known who Xia Jing was looking for at the company that day.
"Oh, I'm all to blame, I'd better be punished, and I'll ask my dad tomorrow, um, let's do it like this." Zhang Zhentian thought.
Zhang Zhentian looked at the sky outside with a frown, he was waiting for the dawn, standing on his head, he felt that every minute passed was like sitting for a century.
late at night.
Zhang Zhentian was so sleepy that he fell asleep in a daze while standing on his head. The time he fell asleep lived really fast. The time passed by every minute and every second, and the sky finally gradually brightened.
As soon as the sun came out in the morning, a beam of light shot into Zhang Zhentian's bedroom, which hurt Zhang Zhentian's eyes. Zhang Zhentian opened his sleepy eyes in a daze, and when he turned his eyes, he saw the rising sun. The son sat up: "It's finally dawn, and the time passed quickly when I was asleep, and it was dawn in the blink of an eye."
Zhang Zhentian was overjoyed. He opened the closet door and took out a set of casual clothes, gray trousers, gray clothes, and white short sleeves.After changing his clothes, he hurried downstairs. He saw his father sitting on the sofa, so he walked over and sat down.
"Dad, have you had breakfast?" Zhang Zhentian asked Mr. Zhang cautiously.
Mr. Zhang glanced at Zhang Zhentian and said unhappily: "You don't care if I eat or not, have you had enough wine?"
Zhang Zhentian knew that his father was still angry with him as soon as he heard his father's tone. In order to know about Xia Jing from his father, Zhang Zhentian had to bow his head and admit his mistake.
"Dad, I know I was wrong, so don't be angry, I will never steal alcohol from now on." Zhang Zhentian swore to Mr. Zhang.
Seeing that Zhang Zhentian's attitude of admitting his mistakes was not bad, Mr. Zhang said, "Tell me, what can you do with me?"
As soon as Zhang Zhentian heard it, he hurriedly asked, "Dad, can you tell me what I asked you that day?"
Although Mr. Zhang knew that Xia Jing must be the reason why Zhang Zhentian asked him for something, he didn't expect that Zhang Zhentian would not be tactful at all, and asked directly.
"What did you say the other day?" Mr. Zhang asked Zhang Zhentian pretending not to know.
Zhang Zhentian was taken aback, did dad forget what he said that day so soon?Dad's memory is very good, even if he remembers things from a long time ago, it's only been a few days, how could he not remember?Could it be that Dad was testing himself to see if he really repented?
"Dad, that's right, that's what I said the day I accidentally burned you with boiling water." Zhang Zhentian submissively said to Mr. Zhang.
Maybe when you are young, you will feel that all these are helpless choices, but later on, you will find that all these are the last thing you want to see, and you would rather work harder when you were young!
"Oh, did you burn me with boiling water? Why didn't I know?" Mr. Zhang still deliberately pretended not to remember what happened that day. He said while observing Zhang Zhentian's reaction.
Seeing his father like this, Zhang Zhentian could only bite the bullet and said: "Dad, I was wrong that day. I shouldn't be absent-minded, I shouldn't have failed to control my emotions, and said something to you that hurt your heart. I'm sorry, you adults don't care about villains But, please forgive me!" Zhang Zhentian said and bowed his head to Mr. Zhang.
"So you would say sorry, Zhentian, do you really have me as a father in your heart? Since you and Xia Jing have been together, you have been talking about Xia Jing every day. I am afraid that you have long since lost my father in your heart." ?” Mr. Zhang said chattingly.
Zhang Zhentian was speechless by his father's sudden question, what could he say?Is he going to say to his father who has raised him for decades, "Dad, you are right, I have long since lost your place in my heart?" 'Isn't it hurting my father to say that?But if you say to your father, 'Dad, you are wrong, you are always the most important in my heart? 'If I said that, my father would not be so sad, but if Xia Jing found out after I said this, Xia Jing would definitely be angry.Zhang Zhentian was very conflicted, he didn't know how to answer that was the best for his father.
Mr. Zhang seemed to see what Zhang Zhentian was hesitating about. Mr. Zhang said to Zhang Zhentian, "You don't have to think of something to say to me that has the best of both worlds. Since I asked you this, I definitely hope you can tell the truth."
It was even more difficult for Zhang Zhentian to speak when he heard Mr. Zhang say this.
"Dad, I..."
Mr. Zhang suddenly stood up and slapped Zhang Zhentian across the face: "Are you a man? Just tell me what I want to say. What I hate the most in my life is a person like you who is sloppy and not decisive at all. Like you, I don’t dare to say anything to you, how could there be a way out? I don’t even know how Xia Jing would fall in love with a yes person like you. If I were Xia Jing, since I’m gone for the rest of my life, I won’t come back again, huh !"
Mr. Zhang was so angry that his whole body was trembling. Zhang Zhentian was scolded by his father, and immediately yelled at Mr. Zhang: "That's right, Xia Jing is all in my heart. I do things so submissively, but I'm still born to you." Son, this is a fact that cannot be changed."
The first half of my sentence didn't hurt Mr. Zhang, but the second half made Mr. Zhang blush with anger.
"Don't you want to know if Xia Jing went to the company that day to find you?" Your grandfather said to Zhang Zhentian unhurriedly.
"I want to know, but I asked you a few times and you didn't answer me. I know I shouldn't have scalded you with boiling water carelessly last time, but I have already told you too modestly, what do you want me to do?" Like?" Zhang Zhentian roared furiously.
"If you want to know, then I'll tell you now. You are right. Xia Jing went to the company half to find you, but half to see me." Your grandfather told Xia Jing's purpose for going to the company .
"It turns out that Xia Jing really went to the company to look for me, but I didn't see Xia Jing because of my narrow-mindedness." I said to myself.
Your grandpa looked at me in such a daze, he didn't know what to say for a while, and I spoke when he was about to turn around and leave.
"Dad, you said that Xia Jing went to the company to see you?" I asked.
"Yes, what's the problem?"
"Dad, can you tell me why Xia Jing went to the company to meet you?" I suspect your grandpa knows where Xia Jing has gone.
When your grandpa heard me ask this question, although the expression on his face didn't change much, he was still very stern, but he was still very happy in his heart. Your grandpa thought silently in his heart: "Finally, this is the end of the question!"
Your grandfather just looked at me, but he didn't speak. When I looked at my father who didn't speak, I became even more suspicious.
"Dad, tell the truth, do you know where Xia Jing went?"
"Zhentian, why do you ask such a question? How could I know where Xia Jing went." Your grandfather asked instead of answering.
"You must know." I said with certainty.
Unexpectedly, we all came here like this, don't you think you are much happier than me?
My son, be content and happy!
There will always be people who say: wait a little longer, just one more day, I will definitely do what I will do tomorrow... But how did he know that tomorrow will be tomorrow, and there will be so many tomorrows?
