The class started, but today was destined to be a sad day…
Edward realized the seriousness of the problem and knew that Yu Xue was not as simple as her first love. Xiao Shi and Liang Zi couldn't be happy because of them. After being brothers for a year, their hearts were already connected.
Sophie was even more serious. She had never seen Sophie like this before. She seemed to be frozen. She sat on her bench in a daze. From the beginning to the end, she only used one expression. Her gray eyes looked at the podium, but she did not cry. She faced the class in despair, the class ended, and the school ended.
Edward finally understood his worries. He had only just realized today that Sophie, this cynical young lady, was actually so persistent in love. He silently respected her a little more in his heart.
Just like that, time once again passed through the cracks of their pain, undoubtedly leaving a deep scratch on their memories of youth. The melodious " Let's Go Home " sounded tirelessly again. The task that history had given them was considered completed, but the problems that emotions brought them had just begun.
The sky was already dark, and the darkness of separation was still spreading unscrupulously, slowly swallowing the streets, roads, and houses. Of course, Sophie was alone. As she watched the number of pedestrians dwindle, her blood seemed to freeze bit by bit. No matter how hard her heart beat, she could not squeeze out the sorrow hidden in her blood. She was at the entrance of No. 3 High School, waiting for a cold explanation. She had already waited at the band's rented house for the whole night, but Leng Liang did not come. She still wanted to give him a chance today just to get an explanation, even if it was news of him and Yu Xue getting back together. She believed in Liangliang's love for her, but she also believed in Liangliang's love for Xue.
The hour hand that was spinning at a constant speed carried time away bit by bit. It was already late at night and the street lamps were extinguished. Even the last bit of light was swallowed by the night, but the person she was waiting for did not come.
Despair.
She was sad.
Her tears no longer flowed out, and only the dried traces of tears could be seen on her face.
Sophie left with a cold heart. She was really sad. Women were animals made of water. Even when they were sad, they were delicate, but also terrifying. It was said that when a man cried, it meant that he had really let go. When a woman cried, it meant that she had really loved.
Of course, the following days were not easy. Sophie seemed to have really let go. She did not want to listen to the cold explanation anymore. However, Liang Liang was never the kind of person who would be shameless. If one explanation didn't work, he would explain it a second time. If the second explanation didn't work, there was no need to explain it a third time. He firmly believed that one day Sophie would understand.
Seeing that this love was on the verge, everyone could do nothing. Love had always been a matter between two people, and that was the person involved. No one else could get involved, so they could only persuade and help from the side.
A week later.
During this week, Sophie was in a cold war with Liang Liang, and Edward tried his best to persuade Liang Liang again. Every day, he would accompany him to the North Second Ring Road, the basketball court, and the claypot house to drink and chat, persuading him not to give up on this hard-won love. Meanwhile, Sophie was accompanied by Dai Mengni, trying to persuade them to reconcile. Sophie had no progress, but Edward and Damoni had made a lot of progress.
On the way home from school on Monday…
"Is your name Sophie?" Sophie heard someone calling her and got down to search the surroundings.
A woman in her thirties and almost forty years old entered her sight. She was wearing a suit on top of her high heels. She was dressed a little formally. Her long, grape-red hair was tied up on her head, accentuating her figure. She did not look bad, and her heavy makeup made her look like a middle-aged woman.
Sophie could also tell that she was the owner of the casserole house, because her enthusiasm last time made Sophie remember her immediately.“
" It's Auntie. I'm Sophie." Sophie replied enthusiastically.
"I'm so happy that you still remember me.”The lady boss replied to Sophie politely.
"Why are you looking for me?" Sophie knew that the lady boss was fine and would not come looking for her for no reason.
"Can I talk to you?" The lady boss invited Sophie politely.
"Of course you can." Sophie answered readily.
As they spoke, the two of them arrived at a teahouse not far from the school.
There were two sides to the story.
On this side was Liang Liang and Edward, standing on the road of the North Second Ring Road. Xiao Shi and Liang Zi were busy with their homework and did not come. There were only the two of them here, beer in their hands, and instant noodles in the plastic bag. They spent almost the entire week like this. Liang Liang's face looked a little thinner, but Edward didn't. After all, everyone had their own selfish motives. If he helped Liang Liang, he could still get in touch with Dai Mengni. Why not?
"How long has it been with Sophie?”Edward spoke first.
"She's the one who's messing with me." Leng Liang took a sip of wine and corrected him.
"I don't care who it is. Is there right or wrong in love? I want to know why you are here.”Edward asked.
In the teahouse…
There were two exquisite teacups on the antique table. The tea was emitting white steam and a faint tea fragrance, making the atmosphere natural and calm.
"Do you know who I am?" the lady boss asked Sophie.
"Of course I know. Aren't you the owner of the casserole house?”Sophie was curious about her question.
"That's true, but I have another identity.”the Lady Boss said slowly.
"What identity?" Sophie asked anxiously, feeling like she was filming a movie.
"I'm Leng Liang's mother, her biological mother.”The Lady Boss replied calmly.
North Second Ring Road…
"Do you really want to know?" asked Edward coolly.
"Yes, even in my dreams." Edward had always felt that there were many unspeakable secrets behind the coldness.
"Alright, then I'll tell you." Leng Liang took a sip of beer and looked up at the sky, as if recalling many bloody childhood memories.
"The owner of the casserole house that we often go to is my mother. She's my biological mother.”His cold words were like thunder, shocking Edward to the point that he didn't believe them. But thinking about what had happened in the past, there was indeed something suspicious.
"No wonder every time she doesn't want our meal money, I see you putting money under the plate.”Edward had already guessed that they were related, but knowing that they were blood-related, he still couldn't believe his ears.
He laughed coldly and took a big gulp of beer."The story starts from ten years ago. My mother liked rock and roll and always dreamed of having her own band. But ten years ago, my father's business was scammed and he lost everything. He didn't even have money to eat. At that time, an art troupe came. Their leader said that he could fulfill my mother's dream and let her start a band. My mother looked at my father and the home that had nothing left before leaving with him.”As she said that, her tears had unknowingly fallen. Edward didn't feel good hearing that.
Leng Liang took a sip of wine and continued…
In the teahouse…
"I left the seven-year-old Xiaowen and his father. I followed that person everywhere, but I didn't complete my dream.”As she spoke, the lady boss was already sobbing.
Sophie opened her bag and handed her a tissue. The lady boss continued,""After I left, Xiaowen was only seven years old. His father's business and emotional loss had already caused him to be unable to recover. He drank and gambled every day. "It was also at that time that he met Snowy…" The lady boss was crying more and more sadly.
North Second Ring Road…
"At that time, I met Yu Xue. She and her mother were abandoned by her father. A girl of the same age had to take care of her mother who was born with heart disease. We had the same pitiful background, so we got together. In the eyes of other children, the two of us were like monsters, living a dark life every day. At that time, I swore that I would be good to Xue in this life, but ambition was ambition, we still had a life, so I started to steal, rob, and cheat. He was beaten up like a dog every day. Until one day, I met my fifth uncle. He said that if I had the guts, I would hang out with him. In the future, I would fight and kill in the KTV every day, but it could be considered as supporting Yuxue and me until junior high.”Edward listened and silently admired the coolness.
In the teahouse…
"Later, his father's business gradually improved. I heard that he even married a woman with a family. I really couldn't survive outside, so I came back and opened a restaurant.”The lady boss cried and confessed.
North Second Ring Road…
" My dad is getting better. He doesn't let me fool around in the KTV anymore. He took me to his place with that woman and gave me money to go to school, but I hate them and rarely use their stinking money. I studied hard for Yu Xue and finally scored 550 points. When the admission notice from No. 3 High School came, she said that she wanted to leave me. During that period of time, I learned to smoke and drink. For Yu Xue, I wanted to die. I looked for her everywhere in Noelle but couldn't find her. It wasn't until we rehearsed that she appeared. Her mother had already died and she had become the lover of a Hong Kong boss.”Edward roughly understood a lot after listening to his story.
In the teahouse…
"I know I've let Xiaowen down and I'm not worthy of being her mother, so I want to do my best to treat her well to make up for my mistakes. I don't dare to ask her to forgive me.”The Lady Boss was already crying her eyes out.
"Yes, he will forgive you." Su Fei was shocked. Although he knew a little about Liang Liang and Yu Xue, he didn't know that he had such a bloody childhood.
North Second Ring Road…
Edward understood." You knew how to play the guitar when you were young. You worked so hard to form a band for your mother's unfulfilled dream, so you don't care if you win or not. You've already forgiven her, right? Every time you mention going to the casserole house, it's to help her, but you don't learn and indulge yourself endlessly. You don't go home because you want to take revenge on them.”
Leng Liang did not reply. She just drank her wine and looked into the distance silently.
The mystery in Edward's heart had been solved. The lady boss had not gone to the rehearsal that day to watch their performance, and the 'she' that Leng Liang had mentioned was the lady boss.
In the teahouse…
"Su Fei, I know you like to be cool. I don't know what he has done to you these past few days, but I can tell you with certainty that he loves you. Yuxue has already given up on him. I know his obsession with relationships. He won't betray you. Although I'm not a good mother, I'm still his mother. As long as he loved you, he would lie to you and hurt you. He would never do that.”The lady boss said with tears in her eyes.
Sophie was completely moved. She knew that the cool would be so rough. For a moment, the air froze, the blood froze, and the emotions froze. It was as if the earth had frozen, and everything was frozen at the node of this space.
Edward was also speechless with Liang Liang. He hadn't expected his three brothers to have such a childhood. He was comparing himself with them, and for a moment, he was calm and relaxed, sinking into endless desolation.
