Chapter 10
Qin Zhen walked into the living room. At this time, Sichen's mother and son had turned off the lights and fell asleep. The living room was dark, only the light from the street lamps shone in, making shadows faint.However, this did not prevent Qin Zhen from seeing everything in the living room clearly.This is the place where Si Chen grew up, there are traces of his past everywhere, Qin Zhen wants to know more about each other.
Sitting in the corner of the sofa, Qin Zhen picked up the photo frame that he had noticed before.In the photo is a family of three, Si Chen looks very young, probably in his early ten years old, the little Si Chen in the camera is pouted, looking unhappy, so cute!I can't see the serious and serious appearance at work now.Sichen's mother was holding little Sichen by the hand, and she was smiling brightly in contrast, the kind of smile where the corners of the mouth extended to the cheeks.On the other side of Xiao Sichen should be his father, who is also smiling at this time, looking at Sichen, not the normal kind of smile, um, there is a taste of gloating.Qin Zhen grinned again, the photos seemed to tell a story, Qin Zhen could completely imagine the angrily feeling Xiao Sichen, who lost his temper after being teased by his father, was dragged to take a photo.
"That was when Xiaochen was 11 years old."
Qin Zhen, who was engrossed, did not notice that someone was approaching, and was frightened by the sudden sound and stood up.Si Chen's mother just wanted to get up to drink some water, but saw a figure in the living room, walked in and realized it was Qin Zhen.Seeing him staring at the photo and laughing like crazy, Si Chen's mother, who has experienced most of her life, of course knew that the man in front of her was serious about her son, so she became more and more kind.
"Uncle, Auntie, I'm sorry to disturb you? I just can't sleep and sit up for a while." Qin Zhen took a deep breath when he saw the person coming.
"I scared you, it's okay, you sit down." Si Chen's mother looked at the photo frame in Qin Zhen's hand, "That year when our family drove for an outing, when passing by Longquan, his father suddenly said that he had been there before. The plantation, where the peaches are big, sweet and juicy, his father made a detour to pick the peaches on a whim."
Si Chen's mother showed a doting smile on her face, "Xiaochen also likes to eat peaches, but they are all hairless nectarines, because he likes to eat them together with the skin. His father deliberately teased him, saying that although the peaches here have Mao, but the taste will be even better if you eat it with the skin, I didn’t expect Xiao Chen to really take a bite, and immediately spit it out, ouch, I want to laugh now thinking about it.”
Qin Zhen imagined the scene at that time, and when he felt that Si Chen was so silly, he also laughed along with him.
"Xiaochen immediately became unhappy and made a fuss about ignoring his father. Later, he pouted when he was forced to take pictures. But at that moment, Xiaochen admired his father the most, and he has been a follower since he was a child."
Seeing Si Chen's mother's dimmed expression, Qin Zhen understood it, but still bit the bullet and asked, "Uncle?"
"His father went there when Xiaochen was 14 years old." There was a slight pause, "It was a weekend, and his father drove him to the downtown gymnasium to play. When I received the call, both of them had already been sent to the hospital."
Qin Zhen held Sichen's mother's hand and listened quietly, "The phone said it was a car accident. In order to avoid a skidding truck, he hit an oncoming bus in the next lane. Xiaochen had a slight concussion. His father Was wheeled into the operating room and didn't make it through."
"It was only later that I found out that the co-pilot that Xiaochen was sitting in was going to hit him first. To protect Xiaochen, his father turned the steering wheel at the last moment and forced himself to turn the front of the car and crashed into it. Later, I saw that the entire driver's seat of the car was damaged. How could it be possible to live if it was squeezed out of shape?"
Sichen's mother sighed softly, and was silent for a while, "Xiaochen has gone after waking up. He was very depressed for a while, and then he gradually improved. I also secretly thanked Xiaochen for being strong, and not because of this. What kind of psychological shadow does the car accident leave behind. Who knows, "
Speaking of which, Sichen's mother pinched Qin Zhen, "You know Xiaochen can't drive, right?"
Sure enough, Qin Zhen quickly thought of Si Chen saying that he couldn't drive a car, "Yes, I know."
"Everyone thought the matter was over. Xiaochen signed up for the driving school with other students after the college entrance examination. Everything was fine, including the theory class, and even the car lectures. But when it was the first time to practice, something happened Situation. As soon as the engine ignited, Xiaochen began to lose control of his body, first his hands and feet twitched, and then his whole body convulsed, sweating as if he had been splashed, at that time the coach took him out of the seat and sent him to the hospital.”
"Later, Xiaochen was not reconciled, and pestered the coach hard to make him try a few more times, but every time he couldn't stop the ignition, until he accidentally stepped on the accelerator during a convulsion and almost had an accident. That's why Xiaochen is completely forbidden to go again."
Qin Zhen remembered that he said that he would teach Sichen to drive when he was free, so it seemed impossible. "Have you seen a psychiatrist?"
"Look, the famous doctor over there in Jincheng said that it was post-traumatic stress disorder in the subconscious. It is a very painful process to recreate the scene repeatedly. I don't want him to suffer. Besides, the doctor said that this is the case. The chances of being completely cured are very low, and Xiaochen wanted to drive later, not because she couldn’t take a car, but if she doesn’t drive in the future.”
Si Chen's mother looked at Qin Zhen, "Now that I have you, you can take Xiao Chen wherever he wants to go in the future, okay?"
Without hesitation, Qin Zhen looked into Si Chen's mother's eyes, "Okay." Not to comfort her, Qin Zhen really wanted to fulfill this promise.
Si Chen's mother smiled again, and patted Qin Zhen on the shoulder, "Okay, Xiao Zhen has worked hard today, don't sit for too long, I'll go back to sleep first." After speaking, she got up and walked to her bedroom.
After listening to the story, Qin Zhen only felt distressed. The person closest to him sacrificed his life for him. The pain Si Chen endured at that time was beyond what he could imagine. It was definitely not easy for him to be strong until today.At that time, when asked the reason why he couldn't drive, Si Chen just laughed it off. One can imagine that his heart is definitely not so peaceful. How strong a psychological construction must be to support him, so that he doesn't grow crooked at such a fragile age?Thinking of this, Qin Zhen felt a little proud of Si Chen, the person he fell in love with was indeed not an ordinary person!
Gently putting the photo frame back to its original position, Qin Zhen rubbed the center of his brows. Tonight's windfall should have made him happy because he had a better understanding of Si Chen, but the sad content made him unhappy.Sighing, let's go to sleep, I will protect him from now on.But the premise is—to catch the person first!
Si Chen had a good night's sleep. He thought he woke up early, but his mother and Qin Zhen had already woken up.Qin Zhen didn't have time to read Qin's report the night before, and now he is sitting on the sofa and flipping through emails on his mobile phone.Si Chen's mother was staring at the small milk pot in front of the stove.
This has been a constant habit since Sichen was a child. No matter whether she eats other foods or not, her mother always cooks some oatmeal with milk, and adds a solid spoonful of sugar when cooking. Sichen especially likes sweet milk. The aroma and taste of boiled oatmeal glutinous rice.
Si Chen's mother prepared oatmeal, and asked the two to have breakfast together.Qin Zhen sniffed the sweet smell in the air, and mentally cast aside that such a big man as Si Chen likes to eat sweets.But after taking a sip, Qin Zhen said that the sweets made by her mother are really delicious!It must have been used by my aunt since childhood!It seems that I have to add all kinds of delicious desserts to my culinary learning list. At least I should make a Pomeranian with a cake or something to smile.
Si Chen didn't know that Qin Zhen, who was buried in porridge, was thinking too much and didn't pay attention to the conversation on the table. He suggested to his mother that Qin Zhen should drive to the city center in the afternoon, and the two of them would go shopping with her.Who knows that my mother doesn't appreciate it, "What kind of street are you shopping? When you're not around, my best friend and I go shopping every day. It's rare for Xiaozhen to come here once. In the afternoon, you take her out for a stroll. Although our place is small, there are quite a lot of places of interest. Xiaozhen will definitely like it."
Si Chen pursed his lips indiscriminately, it seems that he would rather take a long-distance bus than Qin Zhen to drive him back in the future.Thinking about it, he lightly touched Qin Zhen with his elbow, trying to hint that he would reject his mother, but that guy was drinking happily, and after being touched, he looked at him stupidly, with only inexplicable eyes, as if What are you talking about poking me for?
Seeing the interaction between the two, Si Chen's mother was overjoyed, "Look, Xiao Zhen also agrees, it's settled like this, you go out after lunch." Only then did Qin Zhen realize that his mother-in-law had unknowingly helped her. I made a date, and I was very excited, but I still couldn't see anything on my face.Si Chen's mother appreciates Qin Zhen's maturity and stability!
After breakfast, Qin Zhen still looked at his mobile phone, leaving time for the mother and son.Si Chen happened to be presenting treasures, and took out the things he bought yesterday to show his mother one by one, while chatting about the big and small things that happened during the time he didn't come back.Si Chen is not a noisy person, but he is very talkative in front of his mother. Si Chen's mother smiled and inspected the filial things of her son. Of course, she was most satisfied with the big living man sitting next to her. It's not easy to check the household registration when we meet. Next time we come, we have to talk about the situation of the other party's family. Although it is said that sons cannot get married, it does not hinder the communication between the parents of both parties.
Si Chen and the others followed their mother's arrangement, and they were kicked out of the house after lunch, "Xiao Chen, take Xiao Zhen to have fun, it doesn't matter if you come back later, mom, I'm off to a beauty sleep!"
Looking at the closed door in front of him, Si Chen had no choice but to turn around and ask Qin Zhen, "Where do you want to go?"
"It's fine, I'll drive wherever I go anyway, it's up to you to decide." As long as I'm with you, it's fine to do nothing, Qin Zhen's Xiaoyan mode is fully open.
"When my mother talked about places of interest, it's actually nothing. It's just a bell tower, an ancient dwelling, etc. Why don't you go to my high school? The century-old school is also a historic site. By the way, see if anyone plays. We can play sports. Jincheng is busy with work, there is only a dark gym, and he still misses the feeling of having a ball in his hands."
"Playing ball?" Qin Zhen was very surprised.
"Can't you? Bai Chang is so tall." Si Chen seized the opportunity and was hurt, being made by his mother very unhappy with the man in front of him.
"I'll know if I can do it in a while." People who dare to say that others can't do it will regret it in the end, eh!
"Okay, let's go drive."
