Chapter 184 The joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same
Qin Lingzheng went out happily, but returned home heartbroken.
Originally, I was planning to stay in my room and let him down for half a month.
But thinking that I had already promised Bai Yuan, I would have to start the admission procedures when I returned today.
He struggled to get up from the bed again.
Walk out to the small pond in the backyard.
He told Mr. Qin, who was preparing fishing bait under an umbrella, about his decision to go to military school.
Mr. Qin picked up a bag of bait powder.
Didn't even look at the packaging.
Just tear it open and put it into the small iron basin for mixing the ingredients.
Upon hearing this, I first acknowledged his sensible behavior.
Then, he sighed in embarrassment.
"I told you to go to the military academy a long time ago, but you still didn't go. You were rebelling. I finally pushed you away, but you went again. Do you think the military academy is run by our Qin family? You can go if you want to, and you can choose not to go if you don't want to?"
Then he took out his cell phone, searched through the address book for a few seconds, pressed the dial button, and put it to his ear.
"Young people nowadays, ah, they have different ideas every now and then, and they have no stability at all—"
"Hello! It's me, I'm Lao Qin!"
As soon as the call was connected, Mr. Qin immediately dropped his previous serious look.
He became more energetic and radiant, and his voice was so loud that it scared away the fish in the pond that were about to take the bait.
"The thing I told you last time is settled. Go ahead! Hahahaha! It won't be changed. He stood right next to me and told me this himself. How could it be false?"
While Mr. Qin was chatting happily with the person on the other end of the phone, he poured all the fish baits that had not yet been balled into the basin into the pond.
"That's right! The child has grown up, but don't praise him. He can't stand being praised. Hahahaha!..."
The old man was happy all afternoon after receiving such good news.
When Qin's father and mother returned home in the evening, the old man was the first to share the good news with everyone.
He also highly praised Qin Lingzheng for his repentance and return to the right path at the dinner table.
Qin's father and mother were also happy to see that their son had finally come to his senses and no longer made people worry about him all day long.
What parent doesn't want their children to succeed?
When Qin Lingzheng becomes successful in the future, they will be able to hold their heads high in front of their colleagues and proudly say, "My son is not bad either."
Human joys and sorrows are not the same.
Everyone in the Qin family was as happy as if it were New Year’s Day.
Except Qin Lingzheng himself.
Amidst the laughter and chatter, he swallowed the last bite of food with a bitter taste and returned to his room silently.
With something on his mind, Qin Lingzheng tossed and turned at night and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
The scene that happened this afternoon kept flashing in his mind.
Movie-like scenes played over and over again before his eyes.
Those praises, accusations, questions, expulsions, and earnest teachings also echo in my ears again and again.
Some were like sharp knives, stabbing his heart and causing it to ache.
Some of them soothed his pain carefully and gently, bringing him irresistible warmth and attachment.
All the moments of interaction between him and Bai Yuan from childhood to adulthood flooded into his mind like a tide, washing away the wounds in his heart that were cut by those sharp words.
In the end, all the words came together into one word that Bai Yuan didn't say easily, but every time he mentioned it, it seemed to strike his soul and make his heart throb uncontrollably:
"good."
Qin Lingzheng covered his head with the pillow.
I thought to myself in self-abandonment.
His whole life was ruined by the word "obedience".
I was bored for a while, but couldn't help but raise my hand and touch the cell phone on the bedside table.
Use your fingerprint to unlock the screen and enter the album interface.
Click on the photo taken with Bai Yuan at Hailan Private High School not long ago.
At that time, he held down the shutter button and took more than forty photos in a row.
Although the photos were almost the same, they made his originally poor inventory suddenly become full.
Originally I was afraid that my hands would not be able to take clear pictures, so I took some first and then slowly picked out the best one.
I chose so many that I couldn't bear to delete any of them.
He had originally set the photo as the screen of his mobile phone.
But after seeing it, Bai Yuan felt it was inappropriate and ordered him to change back to the original picture on the screen.
As a result, these more than 40 photos can only be kept in the album created by Qin Lingzheng alone.
When I think of it, I will open the photo album and look at it to savor this invaluable memory.
Qin Lingzheng lay on his side on the bed, only capturing Bai Yuan's side and enlarging the picture to the maximum.
His thumb fell on the screen and he involuntarily touched the other person's face with his fingertips, trying to feel her presence.
In the dark night, the light from the mobile phone screen shone on Qin Lingzheng's face, which was filled with confusion, pain and a complex expression.
He could only use this method to soothe the bitterness in his heart and pretend that Bai Yuan was still by his side.
It turns out that a person's habits cannot be changed immediately in a short period of time.
Qin Lingzheng stayed up all night and was awakened by his biological clock the next morning. He washed up in a daze, changed his clothes and walked out of the house in one go.
By the time he came to his senses, he had already followed his body's instinct and walked to the gate of the Bai family.
In the past, at this time, he would go to the Bai family for a meal.
At this time, Qin Lingzheng stood at the door and hesitated for a long time. He knew that even if he went in, Bai Yuan would not chase him out.
But I always feel that doing so would go against the promise I made to her yesterday.
Now that you have made up your mind to make changes, how can you be back to square one in less than a day?
He also knew in his heart that he should hurry back before Bai Yuan discovered him.
But he couldn't help but look inside at the door, wanting to see if he could see Bai Yuan.
Even just a glance.
After taking a look, he went back.
After looking for a long time, Bai Yuan didn't see it, but was caught by Bai Xun who was out with a kettle to water the flowers.
Considering that Qin Lingzheng's dog was sneaky and his figure wandering at the door looked very stealthy, and Bai Xuan had severe face blindness and had not been able to recognize people since he was a child, he did not recognize him at first.
Although I was a little confused, I didn't take it to heart.
After all, this is Jingli Compound, one of the safest places in Jingli and even in the whole country.
There is no need to worry about bad guys sneaking in to take money and kill you.
Otherwise, he should have gone back and called people to arrest the person.
Therefore, Bai Xun just looked at Qin Lingzheng a few more times.
I felt that it looked familiar and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
After looking for a few times and not recognizing it, I was still unwilling to give up and took a few steps forward.
Maybe they feel it's impolite to stare at the other person so directly.
So, under the pretext of watering the flowers, he turned his head from time to time to take a few more glances.
Look at it from Qin Lingzheng's perspective.
Bai Xuan's feeling of stealing is just as great.
If Qin Lingzheng was standing outside the yard, it seemed like he was here to scout the area in advance and gather intelligence.
Bai Xuan stood in the yard, as if he had already succeeded and was ready to escape from the crime scene with the stolen money and goods.
