"I will only favor you from now on." & Tong Shu's decision
Fifty-one:
Qing Ling watched him leave, sighing slowly.
"You're making yourself too tired." Chen Yu said, "You could have told your parents about this and let them handle it. Chen Yu said, "You could have told your parents about this and let them handle it, aren't you tired?"
"It's okay." Qing Ling laughed, "I'm not very tired, but this kind of thing involving humanity is always a bit troublesome."
"Then you're still taking it upon yourself."
Qing Ling laughed a little, leaned on his shoulder, and relaxed, "As for me, although I can't say I know my mom and dad 100%, I do know them pretty well. If I tell them about this now, they will definitely go to Tong Shu, tell him that he is their child, and ask him to come back. If Tong Shu refuses, or is not willing to come back for the time being, they will go back to Tong Shu's parents and tell them that Tong Shu is not their child, hoping that they can return Tong Shu to them."
"It was too sudden and undeserved for the Tong Shu family. It invariably puts the Tong Shu family in a passive position, where they can only be led by my parents, but what has the Tong Shu family done wrong?"
"Besides, Bai Ling is still reluctant to leave the Ling family, my parents have raised him for so many years, they have feelings for him, if Bai Ling cries and cries, what if my parents soften their hearts and let Tong Shu come back on the one hand, and don't give Bai Ling back on the other?"
"At that point, it was very much more awkward for Tong Shu and his mom and dad."
"So, I have to take charge of this and give the decision to Bai Ling and Tong Shu first, so that both of them are on equal footing. Tong Shu and his current mom and dad will not be the passive party."
Chen Yu listened to his words and slowly hugged him, "You are quite thoughtful."
"Those who can do more work do more work." Qing Ling smiled, "Who made me the smartest person in the Ling family."
" Tong Shu should really be glad that he has a brother like you." Chen Yu said, "Anyone else wouldn't necessarily think so much for him."
"Actually, he was kinda lucky too." Qing Ling lamented, "Although he was carried by mistake, he met very good parents who love and care for him."
Qing Ling thought that if he were a child and someone suddenly told him that his parents were not his real parents, he would not be so entangled as Tong Shu, he would be very happy and would have a feeling that this was the case.
But no, his parents were his real parents, only neither his father nor his mother liked him.
Qing Ling I have heard a saying that there is no such thing as a parent who doesn't love his or her child.
He listened then and smiled disdainfully.
The sidekick asked him, "What are you smiling about?"
Qing Ling didn't say anything, he just laughed in his heart, of course he did, he was the best proof.
So Tong Shu, or Bai Ling, are in fact very lucky to have been carried by the wrong person, but are still very happy to enjoy the feeling of being loved.
Chen Yu saw his eyes hanging down and didn't say anything, and asked him, "What's wrong, what's on your mind?"
Qing Ling looked up at him and shook her head.
He turned and hugged Chen Yu , leaning on his shoulder and slowly hugging him tight again.
Sensitive to the fact that he didn't seem too happy, Chen Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Do you think your parents favored Bai Ling more than Tong Shu's parents?"
Qing Ling laughed, "Not only my parents, but not you too."
Chen Yu was a little embarrassed for a moment when he heard this.
He held Qing Ling's shoulders and slowly pulled them apart, looking at him seriously.
"I'm sorry." He said, "I didn't really know you, back then."
What he said was true, his contact with the Ling family had been limited to Bai Ling .
When he meets Qing Ling occasionally, he is not a proactive person by nature and will not take the initiative to talk to Qing Ling.
If Qing Ling talks to him voluntarily, he will say a few words; if Qing Ling does not talk to him, he will not bother to pay attention to him.
For Chen Yu, he was born into the world with a lot of people around him.
So he can accept Bai Ling's unsolicited advances and seek his patronage.
But he doesn't go out of his way to make advances and get to know someone.
This is his character, not against Qing Ling, but for everyone.
It was just that at this time, in their current relationship, when Qing Ling said it, Chen Yu would inevitably feel guilty.
Would think it would have been nice if he had paid more attention to Qing Ling in the beginning.
Qing Ling looked at the guilt in his eyes and smiled instead.
He said, "It's okay, just favor me more in the future."
When he had just spoken of Bai Ling, it was only in passing, and there was nothing to condemn or rehash old scores.
He's not the same Qing Ling as before, and besides, the original owner really doesn't deserve Chen Yu's favor.
The original owner's fondness and special attention to Chen Yu was more out of jealousy that Bai Ling had such a friend as Chen Yu.
He is jealous of Chen Yu's patronage of Bai Ling and wants to take her place himself.
But does he like Chen Yu?
Of course not, he just likes the ancillary value Chen Yu brings to Bai Ling.
If Chen Yu was replaced with Qi Huo or some other rich and powerful person, then the original owner's liking and special attention would be just as present.
That's why he pushed for a marriage, and why he paid extra attention to Chen Yu and Bai Ling after he married her.
That's why he's going to make a fool out of himself and show off to Bai Ling by making a fool out of himself again and again, "Look, the person who belonged to you at that time is now mine, and he'll forgive me for anything I do."
Qing Ling doesn't like Bai Ling, but she dislikes the original owner just as much, one Lian Bai, one just a heart.
"You don't have to like the old me," Qing Ling laughed, "you just like the me now."
Chen Yu nodded, following the good advice, "Good."
He looked into Qing Ling's eyes with a smile, lowered his head, and kissed his eyes, "I will only favor you from now on."
Qing Ling sniffed, unconsciously lowered her eyes, only the corners of her mouth slowly curled up, seeming to have a point of sweetness.
"Then you will favor me well." He said.
Chen Yu smiled and pressed him back into his arms, kissing the side of his face tenderly again and answered with a low voice.
Qing Ling leaned against him and suddenly felt that this was actually not bad.
The somewhat saddened mood he had just felt now seemed to have disappeared under Chen Yu's gentle coaxing.
The negativity he had felt about love and marriage also seemed to be slowly reviving and bursting with new vigor during this time.
Qing Ling sometimes thinks that Chen Yu is actually a very rare person, serious, responsible, and pure to a fault.
He tries hard to get close to Chen Yu, tries hard to like him, tries hard to rely on him and trust him.
He gave Chen Yu a chance, and he gave himself a chance.
If they all catch on, they'll have love and a family.
If neither of them caught it, then they would have to go their separate ways.
In his short but long life, Qing Ling had never given anyone such sincerity and opportunity.
Chen Yu is the first and only one.
For Qing Ling, he is the product of a failed marriage, a broken relationship between his parents and no family of his own.
So he longs for a family, but also fears one.
He accepts no one's confession of love; he rejects the explicitness of all his suitors.
He loves all things beautiful, especially beauty, yet politely leaves after each one of them reveals her heart to him.
He doesn't believe in love or marriage, and he walks through the silence of time, looking at his teenage self and hiding all of his negativity at the bottom of the pile.
Qing Ling never wanted to fall in love, nor did she want to get married. Her encounter with Chen Yu was an accident, and her marriage to Chen Yu was an accident of accidents.
But he also never denied that Chen Yu was a very different kind of accident.
When he looked at Chen Yu, he would be happy.
He was the most beautiful accident he'd met, in all his years.
When Qing Ling thought of this, she couldn't help but hug Chen Yu tightly.
The two of them didn't sit in the coffee shop for long, and soon after Tong Shu left, Qing Ling also planned to leave.
Chen Yu couldn't bear to see him go, so he sent him back to the crew without leaving, accompanied him to dinner, and then stayed the night in the hotel where he had stayed before.
Qing Ling naturally stayed with him and spent the evening sweetly.
Tong Shu's reply came quickly. At noon on the third day, when Qing Ling was still shooting, Tong Shu called and said he wanted to meet him in the afternoon.
Ling Qing replied, "I can't do it today, I'm still shooting a movie, the time and the scenes are already set, it's not easy to coordinate, let's do it tomorrow, I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon and treat you to dinner on the way."
"Good." Tong Shu had no comment.
Qing Ling guessed that he should have gotten results, and if his guess was right, the odds were that Tong Shu would choose to let the two families, all seven of them, know the truth of the matter.
As it turned out, he had indeed guessed correctly.
Tong Shu looked at him and Chen Yu , unconsciously clenched his fists, and said quietly, "I've thought about it, and I think that this matter, it's better to let the parents of both families know."
He said, "If I don't tell them now, then later, in case something happens to my parents, or your parents, or, again, they inadvertently find out, then I'm afraid I'll regret my selfishness at the time."
"Actually, having said that, it's not like I'm completely cut off from my family ties, I'll still be in contact with my current parents, and I'll care for and honor them, it's just the equivalent of having an extra pair of parents, and I think I can live with that."
The hot pot on the table was steaming, the white mist heavy on the teenager's eyes, and Tong Shu's eyes were clear as he asked, "What do you think? Does your brother want to?"
Qing Ling looked at him and thought that he had a rare courage.
Choosing to disclose the truth is not an easy thing to do, especially for the children who have been most affected by the incident.
It was really hard for Tong Shu to make this choice.
But it really is the most sensible option, after all, who knows when the unexpected will come?
What if one day Tong Shu's parents discover that Tong Shu is not their child and begin the agonizing search for their biological child?
At that time, Tong Shu, who hid everything, would be the one who was hurt the most.
He will feel a sense of abandonment and a sense that he is holding them back from being reunited as a family.
He'll go from being the most innocent victim to a guilt-ridden victim.
There may even be accusations from other uninformed people.
Qing Ling is willing to be kind to the world, but that doesn't stop him from preparing for the worst most of the time as well.
So he hopes that Tong Shu can be more sensible.
And Tong Shu, it did.
That way, there's less chance of him getting hurt, too.
