"Dear passengers, we have arrived at Yanling Station. Please get off the bus as soon as possible."
After a whole day of train ride, Xia Yufeng finally returned to the small county town where he had lived for more than 20 years.
After getting out of the car, he looked at the familiar scenery in front of him, breathed in the fresh air around him, and whispered in his friendly local accent. He felt that everything was so beautiful. The corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up into two faint smiles.
The bus stop was less than ten minutes away from home. He did not plan to take a bus. He hummed a song and looked around the town that he had been separated from for four months. He dragged a big box of clothes and walked home with ease.
When he opened the door, he saw that the living room was very clean and tidy. The walls seemed to have been renovated, and it felt much cleaner and brighter.
As for the yellow leather sofa that he hated in the past. At this time, it was also gone, replaced by a new sofa made of yellow cloth.
Looking at the new home in front of him, Xia Yufeng was particularly happy. It seemed that the stubborn old man had finally become enlightened. He should have been like this a long time ago. Look, this was so beautiful.
"Mom, I'm back." Xia Yufeng, who had been standing at the door for a while, closed the door and put down his luggage as he shouted towards the kitchen.
He looked at the time. It was exactly 12 o'clock. He guessed that his mother, Meng Qianxue, should be preparing lunch in the kitchen at this time. He was hungry and tired now. He just wanted to eat Meng Qianxue's delicious food and then have a good sleep.
Xia Yufeng shouted in the room for a long time, but there was no answer. He could not help but frown. She thought, What's going on? Is Mom not at home?
Xia Yufeng mumbled as he walked towards the kitchen. There was no one in the kitchen or in the room. Where was her mother? She usually got off work at this time. What was going on today?
Xia Yufeng returned to the living room in disappointment, picked up his bag from the ground, and went back to his room.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw that his room did not even look like his own. The room was very clean and tidy. The bedsheets and quilt covers had all been changed. Even the books in the bookcase had been sorted and placed neatly. The curtains had been changed to light blue.
Seeing the scene in front of him, the trace of unhappiness in Xia Yufeng's heart instantly disappeared.
Xia Yufeng went out of the room and took out a bowl of instant noodles from the kitchen. He took the hot water from the water dispenser and started to soak it. He was really starving. He had been on the train for more than ten hours without eating anything.
After making the noodles, he turned on the TV. CCTV 5 was broadcasting the Rockets vs Nuggets game. He quickly placed the instant noodles on the coffee table and watched his favorite Rockets game while eating them.
The game was very exciting. The Rockets 'solid defense completely limited the opponent's shooting percentage and scoring methods, controlling the rhythm of the game. In the end, the Rockets won by 18 points. Yao Ming scored the highest 31 points in the game and McGrady scored 57 points. Seeing this, Xia Yufeng, a loyal Rockets fan and NBA fan, could not help but wave his arms and cheer loudly.
Xia Yufeng looked at the clock on the wall. It was already past one o'clock. It's already so late. Why aren't Dad and Mom back yet? Xia Yufeng was puzzled.
At this moment, the door opened.
"Mom, you're finally back. I've been waiting for you…Dad.”Xia Yufeng, who had thought that his mother Meng Qianxue had returned, hurried to the door and complained coquettishly. When he walked to the door, he realized that it was his father, Xia Mingqi, so he quickly called out in disappointment.
"When did you come back?" Xia Mingqi glanced at Xia Yufeng and asked with his usual cold expression and bored tone.
"I've been back for a while. Where's Mom?”Xia Yufeng replied coldly. Ever since Xia Yufeng learned how to speak, his conversation with his father, Xia Mingqi, had always been like this. It was always as cold as winter.
"Your mother left." Xia Mingqi lowered his head and took off his shoes as he replied calmly.
"He left. Did he go on a business trip? Where did you go?" Xia Yufeng asked in surprise.
"I don't know. I divorced your mother.”Xia Mingqi's words sounded so casual and casual, but Xia Yufeng felt like he had been struck by lightning.
"Divorce? Why? Why didn't I know about your divorce? When will you care about my feelings? What's wrong with Mom? Are you a man to abandon her? Ah!" Xia Yufeng was like a lit ZY bag, almost roaring as he questioned the " man " in front of him, interrogating him with eyes full of hatred and anger.
But facing Xia Yufeng's questioning, he was not in a hurry to explain, or perhaps he did not even think of explaining.
He snorted and walked past Xia Yufeng leisurely. He had no interest in continuing to talk to him.
His disdainful expression made Xia Yufeng's suppressed anger rise sharply.
Xia Yufeng immediately turned around, ready to continue interrogating this irresponsible and extremely arrogant man. However, at this moment, the door behind him cracked and interrupted him.
She turned around and saw a lady walking in. She was about 1.63 meters tall, with brown curly hair. Her well-maintained fair skin slightly concealed her age, and she looked very " feminine " in her black business attire.
"Mingqi, is this Xia Yufeng? "Haha, Xia Yufeng, hello, I'm Xiao Nanjing, your stepmother." The woman who called herself Xiao Nanjing walked into the living room with a smile after changing her shoes. She asked Xia Mingqi, who was sitting on the sofa with an unpleasant expression, and then looked at Xia Yufeng.
From the moment she entered, Xia Yufeng's gaze had never left her. When he heard her say the word " stepmother," the anger he had suppressed for a long time finally erupted. It turned out that this woman had chased his mother out of the house.
"Go back to where you came from, shameless thing.”Xia Yufeng glared at her and scolded her.
"What are you talking about? Who's shameless?”Xiao Nanjing, who was still smiling and elegant just now, suddenly fell down and pointed at Xia Yufeng with a frown.
"I said you are shameless, do you understand?”
"You, you…" Xiao Nanjing was so angry that her face turned red. She took a step forward and wanted to slap him.
Xia Yufeng grabbed Xiao Jingnan's hand and gave her two tight slaps without any hesitation. One was for Meng Qianxue, and the other was for himself.
Xiao Nanjing's face immediately turned red.
Xia Yufeng, who was in extreme anger, did not feel that hitting a woman was not 'manly' or disgraceful. Instead, he wanted to slap her again.
When he raised his hand again to hit this shameless woman, his hand was blocked by another hand in the air. Before he could react, the powerful recoil knocked him down on the sofa beside him.
"What are you doing, ah! "Useless thing, how dare you hit me? Watch how I teach you a lesson." After saying that, a big hand landed on Xia Yufeng's face and firmly rooted in it. Then his body, then his legs…Xia Yufeng didn't resist at all, just stared at him fiercely. After a while, blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth, his face became red and swollen, and his body felt like it was about to fall apart.
Xia Yufeng knew that he was injured and bleeding. However, he did not feel any pain at all. Instead, he felt a strange pleasure. This kind of pleasure came from the betrayal of family and the release of oneself after breaking up. This was the end of bullying and the beginning of revenge.
"Get out of here immediately and go find your stinky mother. This is no longer your home. You bastard, scram, scram!”
After saying that, she ran to Xia Yufeng's room and took out the luggage that he had just put in. She threw it outside the door, then turned around and grabbed his collar with one hand. She hurriedly dragged him out of the door and pushed him with both hands. Then, he slammed the door shut.
Xia Yufeng curled up in the narrow corridor at the door. His body seemed to be bitten by thousands of ants. He gritted his teeth in pain, and the veins under his scalp bulged. He only gritted his teeth in pain and did not cry. No matter how painful his body was, it was not as deep and intense as the pain in his heart. Enduring the pain, he got up and slowly picked up his bag from the ground. He held onto the railing of the stairs and walked down step by step.
The corridor that was usually too crowded felt so spacious at this moment that one's line of sight could not be vertical with the ground. The cracks that were everywhere pressed down on her vision.
When he slowly walked to the entrance of the community, Xia Yufeng ignored the puzzled look of the gatekeeper, nor did he answer the " concern " of the " enthusiastic " auntie. He stubbornly and coldly entered the busy street.
Just like that, he walked along the main road without a destination or direction. His expressionless face was extremely calm. Xia Yufeng didn't know what he should think or do. He didn't want to think too much about what had just happened. He even felt that crying was unnecessary. In the face of a father who had never looked at him for more than 20 years, Xia Yufeng's feelings for him were like a stranger. Therefore, when he thought about it carefully, his scolding and beating were not heartbreaking or chilling at all. Since he was young, Xia Yufeng had long been accustomed to such scolding and beating.
Like a dried corpse, he roamed the streets. The trees on both sides of the road were retreating bit by bit, and Xia Yufeng's feelings for this family were retreating. The sky gradually darkened. He looked at the gray sky and a cold smile appeared on his lips. A gust of wind blew past, and a few grains of sand that did not have eyes ran into his eyes. His eyelashes blinked up and down, trying to get rid of them, but unexpectedly, tears were forced out. Tears flowed down his cheeks, drop by drop. Finally, the tears could not be stopped, and the sparkling tears fell into the ground and disappeared.
At this moment, he lost his voice.
