The old lady in the next bed came over to look at it: "Hey, why is it a C major? Isn't the young man with good grades, can he be recommended to a top university?"

"No." Cheng Xin shook his head, "He doesn't want to go to a domestic university, he wants to go abroad."

Cheng Feichi exhaled and said helplessly, "Mom..."

Cheng Xin seemed to have guessed what he was going to say, and hurriedly interrupted: "You will go abroad, right?"

Facing his mother's urgent and pleading eyes, Cheng Feichi was not unmoved, but he still replied: "No, I won't go abroad."

C University is not considered a well-known university even if it is placed in China. The reason for choosing it is to refer to the results of Yeqin's final exam, plus the possibility that he can improve in the remaining four months, which is conservatively estimated. The choices made under the synthesis.

If it weren't for Cheng Xin and Yi Zheng pressing forward step by step, he wouldn't have to make a decision so quickly. These days, he has been in private contact with the homeroom teacher and C Duofang, hoping to settle down on his whereabouts before the year, but unexpectedly, Cheng Xin found out.

Hearing his answer without hesitation, Cheng Xin's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she suppressed her anger and said, "Why, give me a reason."

Cheng Feichi felt relieved. It seems that Yi Zheng did not tell Cheng Xin about his relationship with Ye Qin, so there is still room for improvement in this matter.

"I want to study in China." He said.

"For me? That's unnecessary." Cheng Xin said, "I've told you since I was a child that feelings are the most useless, especially when facing major decisions in life, you can't act emotionally."

After hearing this, Cheng Feichi couldn't help feeling a sense of sadness in his heart. Cheng Xin said so, but why not what she did? Otherwise, Yi Zheng would not easily define it with a chuckle and a sentence of "importance".

"Precisely because it is a major decision," Cheng Feichi said word by word, "that's why we must follow our heart and not make blind decisions based on what other people say."

Cheng Xin frowned slightly, clearly disapproving: "I am your mother, not anyone else, and everything I do is for your own good."

Cheng Feichi couldn't help curling his lips into a wry smile, and it was such a high-sounding reason, as if it would be treason not to listen to her.

If he is a child whose mind is not yet sound and independent, he may be bluffed and even ashamed of his ignorance. However, he has long passed the time when he was confused about right and wrong, and now he clearly knows that what mother wants is never sensible, but unconditional obedience.

He took a deep breath and said, "Is everything you do for my own good, or to fulfill your unfulfilled wish?"

Cheng Xin stared at him with wide eyes in disbelief. There was not only the panic of being seen through, but also an indescribable resentment in his eyes.

For so many years, it's not that she hasn't persuaded herself to let go, but every time she dreams of nightmares at midnight, the traces of those pictures in her mind are deepened time and time again. She can't forget the humiliation she suffered there twenty years ago, and the twisted and bloody past, so even if she is not understood, even if she is scolded by the world, she will take back what belongs to her.

"Those were originally mine." Cheng Xin's voice was sharp, and then he forced himself to calm down, and persuaded earnestly, "That's also yours, you are his first son, those should be yours."

Cheng Feichi shook his head: "It's his stuff, I don't care for it, I can fight for it myself."

"What are you fighting for? Just relying on yourself, what can you fight for?"

Maybe it's because of her illness, Cheng Xin became a little moody, or maybe it's because after the woman came last time, she has lost the calm she pretended in front of her son, and now she doesn't need to hide it anymore. She quickly tore the application form into pieces and threw it into the air.

Looking through the flying papers, Cheng Feichi saw his mother's ferocious face as if she had lost her mind.

"I want to go to C University, unless I die!"

At noon in the hospital cafeteria, I met the old lady next to me. She dragged Cheng Feichi to a secluded corner: "What's the matter with your mother? Good boy, don't get angry with your family about your future."

Just when Cheng Feichi thought she was here as a lobbyist for his mother, the old woman said again: "Your mother is indeed a bit too much, you are an adult, she shouldn't make up her own mind without consulting your opinion. But if you have something to say, you can talk about it." Come on, don't joke about studying. Although I haven't read anything old lady, I still know what school C University is. I heard from your mother that you are very good, and it is more than enough to go to A University. You can enroll in C University, isn't it? She's more confused than me, an old woman with one foot in a coffin."

Cheng Feichi was speechless immediately. Even outsiders can find abnormalities from the fact that he has applied for a university that does not meet his own level, but his mother who has lived with him for so many years only remembers his so-called excellence, and uses it as a bargaining chip to satisfy her own selfishness.

Times have changed, maybe she also knows that Yi Zheng is no longer the former Yi Zheng, not to mention that back then he was able to give up his feelings for the future, now twenty years later, what can she use to win back his attention

After counting and counting, there is only one son who stands out in the eyes of others.

Therefore, Cheng Feichi, whom she regarded as all hope, had nowhere to escape. He had grown into what Cheng Xin wanted, but Cheng Xin forgot that he was also a human being with independent thinking and judgment.

Cheng Feichi leaned his back against the wall, pinching the space between his brows wearily.

He refuses to be materialized, and thus the contradiction arises, which has gradually developed to the point of irreconcilability today, and to achieve reconciliation, one party must compromise and give in.

But if he compromises this time, he will be like a prey that has stepped into a trap. The space becomes narrower as he walks in, and the net that binds him gets tighter and tighter until there is no room for resistance.

At that time, he and Yeqin would never have another chance.

Breathing heavily and difficultly, Cheng Feichi still tried his best to find an inch of land that could allow him to grow freely in the dirty air. He opened his eyes, pulled himself together, took out his mobile phone and dialed Yi Zheng again.

Here, Cheng Feichi is struggling to plan for the future of the two, and Yeqin, who is on vacation on the other side of the ocean, is not in a very happy mood.

After playing on the island for a few days, he and Zhou Feng moved to New York. Liu Yangfan and Zhao Yue, who were studying in Qizhou, both skipped class and came to accompany them, and took them to nightclubs for two nights.

Ye Qin didn't like the environment of feasting and feasting at first, and this night he was covered with a disgusting smell of tobacco and alcohol, so he frowned and wanted to leave. Liu Yangfan stretched his arms to stop him, and asked Zhou Feng, "Are Ayue and I not here?" What do you take Aqin to play with in those days? Why do you make it look as if the six roots are pure and have escaped into Buddhism."

Zhou Feng slapped the beer on the table: "It's not that I don't take him to play. He is very busy. Apart from studying all day long, he hangs out with the bully. After class, he can't even find him. This time when he comes out I brought homework with me on vacation, and I hurriedly wrote two pages when I went back so late yesterday.”

Zhao Yue laughed loudly: "After listening to Xueba's words like this, how dare we love Brother Qin to do a fake show, and have real feelings for him?"

Ye Qin sat back down again, and said stubbornly: "Nonsense, I just think it's better than wasting time here with you bastards."

Zhou Feng was dubious, touched his chin and said, "Why did I see you being eaten to death by Xueba, and he didn't come to see you off before you came, so you didn't even dare to say anything."

"Fart!" Ye Qin said fiercely, "If I have to let him come, would he dare not come?"

Liu Yangfan flicked the cigarette ash, and said with a half-smile, "Then you should watch carefully when you return home this time."

Several people made an appointment to go back to China for two days. Seeing that his dignity and status were not guaranteed, Ye Qin quickly sent a message before boarding the plane: [I'm back! Eight o'clock in the evening capital time, come pick me up brother!]

Cheng Feichi received this message in the middle of the night, put down his phone and sat up on the couch in the ward, and added hot water to Cheng Xin's teacup. When I lay down again, I began to think about the possibility of picking up the plane.

Cheng Feichi, who hadn't seen Ye Qin for more than a month, couldn't help but miss him as calm as he was.

Especially under the high-pressure monitoring that almost detained him.

Yi Zheng seems to be more talkative than Cheng Xin, but after all, he has been in the mall for many years, and he has long formed a set of words and actions that seem to be negotiable. In fact, he does not give people the ability to make other choices. Cheng Feichi dealt with him these days, telling him not to touch Ye Qin, not to tell Cheng Xin about this matter, after Yi Zheng readily agreed, he asked Cheng Feichi for an exchange.

His original words were: "Trading is about you coming and going. If you do a loss-making business, wouldn't it make people laugh if you tell it?"

Although Cheng Feichi thinks that what Yi Zheng is doing now is ridiculous, but at the moment when he is alone and weak, he can only try his best to stabilize him and make him lose his patience.

This move is also a helpless move. Yi Zheng seems to have great skills, he even knows that he has contacted the class teacher and been to C University a few times. A few days ago, in order to shake his will, he even revealed that Ye Qin had investigated him.

At that time, Yi Zheng laughed on the phone: "The so-called private detectives I found were so clumsy that they even used their real names. That kid is as smart as his father, and he is not as innocent as you seem. You gave up your great future for him?"

It should have been a powerful blow, but Cheng Feichi had already guessed that Ye Qin had investigated him, otherwise there would not be the tit-for-tat confrontation when they first met.

Ye Qin couldn't hide things in his heart, and all his emotions were displayed on his face. Even if such a simple and clear person had investigated himself, how could he do anything outrageous

Thinking of this, Cheng Feichi turned over again, and continued to think about how to go out for a legitimate reason tomorrow.

The next day actually let him find a chance.

In the afternoon, grandma came to visit the hospital and brought Cheng Xin's favorite side dishes. Cheng Feichi took the tableware to the sink outside to wash it, and at the same time thought about going out later in the name of taking grandma home, and then took a black car that can be seen everywhere outside the hospital. At the airport, even if it takes two hours to go back and forth, the traffic jam on the road can be used as an excuse to cover up.

It's good to be able to see each other for five minutes, he thought bitterly, if we don't see each other again, the little guy is going to be in trouble.

The speed in his hand couldn't help but increase, and he walked to the door of the ward with the dripping tableware. Before he stepped in, Cheng Xin's voice came from his ear.

She spoke very fast: "How can I be inferior to her? She just relies on having a good family background. I also have a son. I gave birth to him with all my might, and finally raised him into what he is today. Who would dare Say he’s not good? Who can say he’s not good? Mom, do you think Xiaochi is not good? Doesn’t he deserve that?”

Grandma originally wanted to persuade Cheng Xin not to be so stubborn, but was at a loss for this irrefutable logic, so she continued to persuade softly: "But that woman is innocent..."

Cheng Xin can't listen to anyone: "She is innocent, should I live? I have a child first, she is the third party. I just want to see Yi Yan, listen to him, say that I do n’t want me, I do n’t want children, me You can give up, but why did that woman treat me like that?"

Speaking of this, she laughed, "Sure enough, the reincarnation of karma is not happy, and she deserves to give birth to a stupid son. In the end, didn't Yi Zheng come to find our mother and daughter? God open your eyes, mom, aren't you happy for me? My son So good, after all, he still has to return to his original position.”

Cheng Xin in the room laughed like crazy, and Cheng Feichi outside the door felt his fingers tremble, his fingertips pressed blue and white on the cold porcelain, and his heart tightened and shrank inwards.

He should have known earlier that in his mother's eyes, he was a tool for revenge. Fortunately, when he comforted himself earlier, he still had a little fantasy, thinking that at least part of the reason why his mother wanted to send him abroad was for his own good. Looking at it now, the habit of bragging about everyone is not to be proud of him, but to show him off as an object, for fear that others will not know.

The porcelain fell to the ground with a sudden sound of breaking, and the people in the room looked up at the door. Grandma took a breath and called out in a panic: "Xiaochi..."

Cheng Feichi forced himself to ignore Cheng Xin's gaze on him, turned his head and walked away. If he stayed here any longer, he was afraid that he would go crazy like Cheng Xin.

"Where are you going?" There was a chaotic movement from behind, and Cheng Xin's sharp voice was still clearly audible, "Are you going to C University again? Don't go, mom won't let you go!"

Cheng Feichi stopped abruptly, took a few deep breaths, and turned around slowly.

I saw Cheng Xin kneeling by the door, holding a piece of broken porcelain in his hand, "If you dare to go out, I will die here today!"

The surroundings instantly became chaotic, and several passing nurses wanted to snatch the sharp weapon from her hand, but they were all afraid to approach her because of her decisive expression.

Grandma was also frightened by the accident, she shed tears on the spot, and begged Cheng Feichi: "Xiaochi, come back quickly, come back and stop your mother, just listen to her and stop making trouble."

At this moment, Cheng Feichi couldn't listen to anything. Witnessing the scene in front of him, his mind was blank and his heart was numb. For a moment, he even thought he was dreaming.

Even in his dreams, he had never seen such a ridiculous scene.

It seemed that he was just an ordinary person, but he was suddenly put on a costume and pushed into the spotlight, the door to get off the stage was blocked, the audience was full of audiences, and hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at him, but he didn't even have to say I don't know what lines to do or what actions to do.

After finally regaining control over the joints of the body, the back is still stiff. He walked back step by step, squatted in front of Cheng Xin, and raised his hand to shake her hand holding the tile.

Cheng Xin thought that he had changed his mind, his body relaxed, and his face softened a lot. Just about to say something, Cheng Feichi took away the things in her hand, then spread the palm of his right hand, facing the freshly scarred wound, and stroked it decisively. .

The little nurse next to him screamed, and blood gushed out quickly, dripping on the ground, and quickly gathered into a deep red pool.

Cheng Xin froze, opened his mouth wide, and made intermittent breath sounds in his throat, but couldn't utter a word.

Grandma quickly took the opportunity to help her up. She stood there in a daze, and it took a long time to regain her senses. She turned her eyes from her blood-dripping hands back to Cheng Feichi's face.

"Mom." Cheng Feichi also stood up, controlling his trembling voice, "If you want my life, I'll give it back to you now."

An hour later, Cheng Feichi was sitting in the car, watching the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, and only then did he feel the pain dully.

The wound was long and deep. The doctor said that he needed stitches, but he refused for fear of wasting time, so he simply bandaged it. Looking down at this moment, the blood had soaked into the gauze. He took out the spare gauze given by the doctor from his coat pocket, used it with his hand and mouth in the narrow seat, and wrapped it a few more times.

When the little guy saw the wound on his palm last time, his heart ached terribly, this time no matter what he couldn't let him see it.

It was already late when I came out, the main road to the airport was jammed during peak hours, and it was already 8:20 when Cheng Feichi arrived at the airport. He looked around at the pick-up exit for a while, then went to the information desk to inquire, and learned that the plane from New York arrived on time at eight o'clock, and all the passengers had already disembarked.

I called Ye Qin, but the tone was always busy, maybe I just got off the plane and haven't had time to turn it on. When I was able to get through, I was hung up again and again, and then I couldn't get through directly. It should be blocked by the number set.

Cheng Feichi knew that Ye Qin must be angry. If you don't reply to the message or come to pick up the plane, anyone will be angry.

He stood in the airport lobby and sent Ye Qin a WeChat message, but got no response, so he frantically went to Moments, and really let him see a piece of content that Ye Qin had just posted—I’m back, come out to cheer.

The accompanying picture is two bottles of wine on the coffee table.

The pattern on the glass of the coffee table was unique, reflecting the round lights on the ceiling, Cheng Feichi knew where it was at a glance.

Without thinking about it, he ran out to take a taxi, got in the car and closed the door and said to the driver, "Nanguo Mansion on Zhongshan Road."

The airport is brightly lit, and from time to time planes with flashing signal lights soar into the sky, lighting up the night sky. When the car drives on the elevated highway, you can see the neon city night scene with a slight turn of your head.

But Cheng Feichi didn't have time to appreciate it. He was eager to see Ye Qin, not only was he anxious to explain to him, but also to give his heart that was almost going crazy from the pressure a tranquilizer.

Except for Yeqin, no one can soothe his heart that is on the verge of collapse.

He wants nothing now except Yeqin.
