Chapter 416 "It's okay."
Chapter 416 "It's okay."
Tongnian held Lu Zeyu's hand and returned home.
Winter is coming soon, and the wind is getting colder and colder. There is almost no leaf hanging on the branches, and all of them fall down as the wind sways them.
In his childhood, on the dimly lit street, he led the little girl towards their home.
They went upstairs and a black car passed by behind them, silently in the darkness.

At the current Lu family manor, there is no desire to go home anymore.
Like a pool of stagnant water, without a trace of life.
In fact, a complete family needs two people to maintain it together, although anyone can leave anyone, it’s no big deal.
But the loneliness in comparison is a bit hard to adapt to.
When Lu Tingshen returned home, only Lu Xingchen was waiting for him in the hall. Although she was smiling, it didn't heal him at all.
"Dad~"
In the past, Lu Tingshen would pick her up and enjoy some parent-child time.
But now, he doesn't want to do that.
"Where's your brother?"
The house is very quiet these days, so quiet that it's suffocating.
Lu Xingchen looked at him and also felt the change, but she didn't dare to say it out loud:
"upstairs."
Tiantian has been a little depressed these days, and of course Lu Tingshen knows the reason.
"Ah."
I just hummed and watched him go straight upstairs.
Lu Xingchen's eyes changed. Just because two people left, her status had declined.
Now even though Lu Zeyu is not in the Lu family, she still blames all the mistakes on her.
Lu Tingshen returned to his room and went to the cloakroom as usual.
Next to his cloakroom was the cloakroom of his childhood. He walked over there but somehow fell back.
He never went to his childhood cloakroom, and today was the first time.
During this period of time when his childhood was gone, he restrained himself from thinking about her.
But the whole house is filled with her shadow, and there are traces of her in every corner.
This is the Lu family, but I always feel like something is missing.
Missing...his heart.
Lu Tingshen's heart was empty and he could no longer laugh.
Looking at the clothes hanging in the closet, I can always recall what she looked like at that time.
Childhood is very white, and it looks best in that light pink dress.
All the jewellery in the jewellery cabinet was there, including the wedding ring.
She didn't take anything of value with her, including her cards.
This is the black card Lu Tingshen gave her, with no upper limit.
He didn't go to see her these days, actually he wanted her to go out and sober up, but he didn't expect that she didn't want to come back.
How can she survive if she has no money?
After all, she still had the support of her mother's family. Before this, she didn't have the courage to run away from home.
Lu Tingshen was a little panicked, but he was definitely not afraid. There was nothing to be afraid of, and he did not think about how serious the matter was at that moment.
Of course, this was not the first time they had quarreled, nor was it the first time they had broken up.
It's called a habit, but actually it's probably just recklessness.
He was sure that his childhood would never go away, and just like before, it would come back if he was coaxed.
After experiencing the separation of life and death, what does such a petty fight matter?
Lu Tingshen really didn't have time to care about her right now, as he hadn't yet settled his personal mess.
So, at this time, he only hoped that his childhood could understand him.
But he never thought that she didn't have the ability to read minds or the superpowers to know what he was thinking.
Lu Tingshen just hoped that she would not get involved in anything, and that she would stay by his side without making any noise.
She is not a puppet, but a person with flesh and blood and emotions.
So, it’s not that they have bad feelings, but that they can never empathize with each other.
He couldn't empathize with her childhood, and she couldn't empathize with how many secrets he had.
Love is true love, but the problems have not disappeared.
No one can put aside all problems and keep silent because of "love", and no one can just love without living.
So, when they hug each other tightly, there is no doubt that it is love.
But when problems arise, there is no doubt and no one is willing to compromise.
Because they are not just themselves, they can't just talk about themselves without considering others.
Her family and her children were the problem that stood between them.
Of course, Lu Tingshen was not willing to compromise. They were not the kind of people who would give in. Just like everyone had something they had to stick to, any mistake would be a sin.
Lu Tingshen stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, his cold expression becoming less and less like himself.
He was very tired, but why was she unwilling to wait?
Wait, he will resolve all conflicts, wait, he will weigh everyone's relationships.
But why wasn't she willing to wait?

Dinner time is the most difficult.
He had barely eaten these days, but because the child was there, he had to act like nothing had happened.
Tiantian was in a bad mood, but Lu Xingchen was fine.
She did not feel lost because her mother left, but seemed to become even more unscrupulous.
Lu Tingshen watched her eat happily. Did she have a good appetite?
“Do you get enough to eat at school?”
"sure."
Lu Xingchen didn't understand what he meant and continued eating with great relish.
She and Lu Zeyu are simply a positive and negative contrast.
Lu Zeyu eats slowly, just like he did in his childhood, while Lu Xingchen wolfs down everything he eats. This may be due to his genes.
When it comes to genes, you really can't deny it.
Lu Tingshen and Tiantian were both slow and measured, chewing their food slowly without making any noise.
"How are you doing in school?"
The conversation turned to Tiantian, who lowered his head:
"Okay."
A simple sentence and a response ended the topic.
He wanted to say something, but unfortunately he didn't know what.
In the past, it was Childhood who was concerned about their lives. He didn't need to ask, and he seldom asked.
Now he realized that communication is actually a science.
Childhood was of great importance to them, including him, so he ate the meal in a depressed mood without any appetite.

At night, when he turned off his computer, he found that it was already early morning.
In the past, he felt that time was not enough and he always wanted to finish work quickly to be with her.
But now, there is no motivation at all.
The wine has been in the study for a long time. I remember the last time I opened it was a year ago.
It is said that wine loses its flavor over time, and it is true.
Lu Tingshen lit a cigarette and watched the smoke slowly rise. He instantly felt lonely.
I feel so lonely~ I don’t have to care about her opinion when drinking or smoking.
So free~ This is the lifestyle every man wants.
But why is he so sad?
|
This stalemate couldn't last long, and of course it was like a tug of war between two people.
However, no one was willing to compromise, and no one was willing to break the deadlock.
Lu Tingshen was waiting for her to come back, and as long as she came back, he didn't even need to explain.
Childhood was waiting for him to compromise, as long as he recognized the facts, stopped blindly shielding Lu Xingchen, and gave Lu Zeyu justice and a happy environment to grow up in.
After going around in circles, it's still a dead end.
Therefore, this deadlock can only be broken by one person, and that is Lu Siyao.
