At this time, Lin Yifei had skills and experience, but his physical coordination and physical strength could not keep up.
At this time, Chris was not skilled enough nor had Lin Yifei's experience. Although he was defeated by Lin Yifei's sword every time, he always grew at an astonishing speed, and every sword became more exciting.
Occasionally, the fear of being struck by a sword made Lin Yifei feel unnaturally hot.
That day, they took off their protective gear and lay on the grass watching the sunset in a daze.
"Yifei, it's time for you to exercise your physical fitness." Chris said lightly.
Lin Yifei turned over and yawned, "Forget it, I'm so lazy."
"Don't you want to be a world champion?"
"I..." Lin Yifei frowned. At the beginning, he went to Washington to talk to a coach he admired to prepare for the World Championships. At that time, Chris insisted that he would persuade that coach for him, but he insisted on personally Going to say, Chris had an accident before he was in Washington for a few days, "I don't want to be a world champion."
"Why?" Chris is one who rarely asks questions.
Lin Yifei sat up suddenly, "Chris, in the future you must become the world champion in the Olympic saber event. I will be your training partner."
"But I want you to be my opponent."
"Huh?" Lin Yifei raised his eyebrows, "I don't want to be your opponent at all."
You don't know that when I met you on the field, your eyes were so sharp, as if to separate me from the world.
"That way, you'll be able to look at me without distraction."
Just as there was a car passing by on the bridge, making a rumbling sound, Lin Yifei turned his head to look at Chris, "What did you say?"
"It's nothing. I'll take you home." After finishing speaking, he got up and pushed the bicycle.
So summer passed.
Just when Lin Yifei felt that he and Chris would grow up in this unhurried manner, the fateful turning point finally arrived.
After autumn, the leaves on the branches have fallen. Chris was riding Lin Yifei on the street, the wheels rolled over the dead leaves, making a hissing sound, as if he was talking.
"Chris, your rear frame seems to be a little loose? Will it suddenly fall?" Lin Yifei was a little nervous.
"Because you've grown taller, you've gained weight." Chris continued to ride steadily.
"Really? No wonder I feel that protective gear is a bit tight recently." Lin Yifei was delighted. He was only 1.78 meters tall when he was 22 years old, but Chris was already 1.85 meters tall.
When they came to the door of Chris's cafe, the two couldn't help but froze.
A black car was parked there, and Lin Yifei knew it was worth a lot at a glance. And such a car should not appear around here.
The two got out of the car, and there were already people around to look at it. Their eyes were strange, and when they saw Chris, the eyes turned into envy.
"I'll go up and have a look!" Chris ran upstairs.
In that small room, the mother was sitting on the edge of the bed, crying with her head bowed on a man's shoulder.
Chris walked in slowly, stood there watching coldly, he knew who the man was.
His side face is very handsome, and the line of his lips is so firm.
When he turned around and saw Chris, there was a desire in his eyes, "Are you Chris? I am your father, and I will take you home."
"..." Chris turned around and ran out suddenly, ignoring Mrs. Lynn's shouts, and Lin Yifei was still leaning on his bicycle thinking about what was going on, when Chris who rushed downstairs grabbed his wrist and ran out madly.
Being dragged was very painful, but Lin Yifei had no time to shout.
It wasn't until his heartbeat was about to exceed his load that he stopped very hard, beating his heart, almost out of breath.
"Chris... I can't run... I can't run..."
At this time, Chris also put his hands on his knees, lowered his head and breathed vigorously. Soon, Lin Yifei found tears dripping down his chin.
"What's wrong? Chris?" This was the first time seeing Chris shed tears, and Lin Yifei panicked.
Chris didn't speak, but just clasped Lin Yifei's wrist forcefully with one hand, as if someone was going to take away his most important thing.
Breathing gradually stabilized, Lin Yifei thought of that famous car, and then saw Chris's reaction, he suddenly understood in his heart.
It is the last year of elementary school, and Mr. Osborne is supposed to pick up Chris and Mrs. Lynn to Washington this year.
Lin Yifei reached out to wipe Chris' tears, but the other party suddenly grabbed his wrist, then straightened up, and hugged Lin Yifei tightly.
Chris has always been unable to accept Mr. Ozborne. He abandoned Mrs. Lynn for inheritance rights twelve years ago. He ignored the two mothers and children for twelve years. After twelve years, he wanted family affection. In Chris's opinion This is selfish and greedy.
Without speaking, Lin Yifei just let Chris hold him. Although Lin Yifei knew about Chris's fragility, it might only be once in his life to show it like this.
Chris refused to go home, so Lin Yifei had no choice but to take him back to his home.
When Ms. Lin saw Chris coming, she thought she was just playing at home as usual, so she added an extra plate of scrambled eggs and vegetables.
Chris didn't eat much, so he went to Lin Yifei's room and sat on his bed without talking.
Mother Lin also saw that something was wrong with Chris, Lin Yifei just smiled and said that she would comfort him well.
But in fact, Lin Yifei was just sitting next to Chris, and it was useless to say anything now.
It's been a long night. Lin Yifei raised his head slightly, and he could see the black car parked outside the window, and two people who looked like bodyguards were standing beside the car. With Mr. Osborne's ability, it is not difficult to find out where Chris is. The reason why Mr. Osborne didn't come up is actually very simple. He couldn't catch Chris when he was in a mood, so the relationship between father and son would be more difficult to recover.
Chris hadn't been asleep the whole time, just hugging his knees with his eyes open.
"I think you should go with your father." Lin Yifei said.
Chris looked at Lin Yifei with an incredulous look.
"Your mother loves your father very much. In fact, she has been waiting for your father to come back to pick her up. Otherwise, a good woman like her must be liked by a good man. Why did she raise you alone?" Lin Yifei said lightly.
Chris didn't respond.
"Mrs. Lynn will be very sad to see you like this." Lin Yifei reached out to hold Chris, but was thrown away by him.
"You want me to go, don't you?" Chris looked at Lin Yifei with a hard-to-nail gaze, under which no one could lie.
"No." Lin Yifei trembled and lowered his head. Suddenly, he thought of the picture of him saying goodbye to Chris's body in the church. His peaceful eyebrows and eyes no longer fluctuated, his chest no longer heaved, and he no longer read in a cold but gentle voice. own name, "I don't want to send you away more than anyone else."
Chris lifted Lin Yifei's face with his hand, only to realize that he was already crying.
"Then why don't you keep me?"
"Because I can't stay." Lin Yifei sobbed unnaturally, "That person is your father. That person can make your mother happy, let you live a good life, and he can hire you the best fencing coach..."
"But I just want to live with you," Chris said.
Lin Yifei wiped the tears from his face, "Are you an idiot? That is your father. If you don't live with your family, our family can't support you. Think about your mother, she suffered a lot for you , now that she is finally happy, do you still want her to shed tears for you?"
Chris fell silent again.
"You know my home address, you know my home phone number, you can call me and write to me, don't you?" Lin Yifei also hugged Chris, "A true friend will not lose friendship because of distance of."
Although this sentence is very rustic, Lin Yifei firmly believes in it.
Looking out of the window, even Mrs. Lynn came, standing downstairs and not knowing how to get up.
Lin Yifei pointed out the window, "Chris, do you know? We are only twelve years old. What does this mean?"
Chris looked at Lin Yifei and said nothing.
"It means that life has just begun, it means that we can still do a lot of things to fulfill our unfulfilled wishes, it means that we are not strong enough to resist fate." Lin Yifei stretched out his hand to support Chris's face, the first time he saw Chris At that time, this guy was already very powerful, giving people the illusion that they could only look up to him. But life is over again, and Lin Yifei feels very satisfied to be able to be by Chris's side on his most difficult day.
"It looks like it's time to let you go." Lin Yifei got out of bed, took Chris's hand and opened the door, and went downstairs, "Lift your head up, don't let Mr. Osborne look down on you. Remember Make Mrs. Lynn feel that you are her pride."
The first daylight in the sky illuminated the neighborhood with pale colors.
Mr. Osborne got out of the car and saw Chris' haughty expression coming in front of him.
"I don't get to choose who my father is."
"But I promise I'll be a good father." Oz wanted to pat Chris on the shoulder, but he turned sideways and avoided it.
"I'm only twelve years old, and I can't resist my fate."
"You have a destiny that others don't have. You are the proud son of heaven, and you are my son, so you will have everything that others can't even want." Ozborn smiled, as confident as ever.
"Don't try to control everything about me." Chris walked around him, walked directly to Mrs. Lynn, and helped her into the car.
Mr. Osborne was slightly taken aback, glanced at Lin Yifei who was standing downstairs, turned around and got into the car.
The car gradually disappeared at the end of the block.
Lin Yifei smiled lightly.
"Goodbye, Chris."
