Yu Chengsong was sitting on the sofa with a mobile phone in front of him.
Yin Gu went to see Yu Chengdi off. He would be very busy these two days and might not be able to take care of him. It would be more convenient and safer for him to stay with Zhou Zheyu.
Picking him up and dropping him off, his boyfriend was very busy today.
Heartbroken and touched.jpg
In order not to look like a loser who can’t do anything without a boyfriend, Yu Chengsong decided to make the call now.
Fight alone.
The moment the phone call was connected, all of his restraints and anxieties disappeared.
It is like this many times. Taking a step is not the hardest part. The hardest part is lifting your legs.
Yu Jianyang’s voice came out, a little guilty: “Son? Is there something wrong?”
“Come back tomorrow.” Yu Chengsong said.
“What?” Yu Jianyang raised his voice, “I’m working! What am I going back home for? Will you report the salary deductions for me?”
“Mom almost killed someone today.” Said Yu Chengsong.
“Kill someone?!” Yu Jianyang’s voice suddenly rose. “Who?! Kill who?! What happened!?”
“Me.” Yu Chengsong leaned against the sofa backrest and pressed his palm against his neck, as if he could still feel the suffocating feeling of the knife approaching. “She almost stabbed my neck with a fruit knife.”
“You ah…” Yu Jianyang breathed a sigh of relief, as if he were not happy that he kept him in suspense, and said in a bad tone, “If she’s going to attack again, you can just dodge because you’re strong! What am I going back for? Can I tie her up in the room and not let her move? It’s been so many years already, and you are still not used to it! You are such a grown-up child, and you still need me to worry about this.”
“Either you come back, or I tie her up and send her to you.” Yu Chengsong laughed and squinted his eyes. “Oh, by the way, I heard that you have a mistress outside and bought her a car. What do you think would happen if mom knew about this…”
“Who-who told you? Nonsense!” Yu Jianyang said in a hasty and aggressive tone, furious at having his secret exposed. “Who told you that? I’m telling you, Yu Chengsong, stop talking nonsense—”
“I have a pile of photos of the two of you.” Yu Chengsong casually dropped the bomb. “Do you want to see it?”
“You!” Yu Jianyang panicked. “What do you want to do? If your mom goes crazy, you will be in trouble! What do you want?!”
“Come back tomorrow.” Yu Chengsong lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, biting it. “You discuss with my mom, should I chop you all up with a knife when I get pushed to the limit, or should you all stay away from me? Do what you need to do.”
“You… you want us to…” Yu Jianyang didn’t react and was stunned.
“Yes.” Yu Chengsong interrupted him and got straight to the point: “You want a divorce, right?”
Yu Jianyang said nothing and agreed.
“You don’t dare to say it, I’ll talk to her.” Yu Chengsong took a puff of cigarette, “She’s fed up with you, and you’ve been fed up with her as well. The two of you are hiding far away and not interfering with each other. The three of us are in trouble.”
“You want me to divorce your mother?” Yu Jianyang’s tone was full of surprise, but more of it was eagerness and testing. “Will she-she agree…”
“I have a way to make her agree.” Yu Chengsong said.
“What way?” Yu Jianyang asked.
“Don’t worry about that.” Yu Chengsong sneered contemptuously, “If you don’t come back tomorrow, I will tell everyone about your affairs. Then you can imagine whether mom will find you with a knife or not.”
“I heard that that woman is even pregnant? I turned a blind eye and didn’t tell mom, which allowed you to survive for so long. Now you have to return the favor.”
“Yu Chengsong!” Yu Jianyang gritted his teeth. His son did not give him any room to hesitate at all. “I will be home tomorrow night at the earliest. Don’t talk nonsense to your mom! We need to discuss this matter carefully. I—”
“How can we discuss something you’ve been thinking about for years?” Yu Chengsong didn’t give him a chance to maneuver. “Don’t you believe I have the photos? How about I give them to mom—”
“I believe it! I believe it!” Yu Jianyang said quickly, “But you have to wait until I get home. Don’t tell her.”
“Tomorrow at the latest.” Yu Chengsong said.
“I’ll buy the ticket now!” said Yu Jianyang.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Chengsong flipped through the photos on his phone.
His father was hugging a woman who looked much younger than him. They were eating together, holding hands, kissing, and even in bed. The woman’s face was photoshopped out, leaving only his father’s stupid face…
These photos were sent to him by the woman Yu Jianyang kept outside. The purpose was probably to let his mother find them so as to get a divorce.
That woman didn’t know the situation of their family. This kind of photo will be folded when it reaches him and would never reach his mother.
After all, he had no idea of leaving this home at that time and just lived day by day.
But now it’s different, now this is his best bargaining chip.
Yu Jianyang wanted to use the family property to support another woman, but based on what he had done over the years, Yu Chengsong would never let him do as he wished.
He snorted, picked up the phone, and dialed his mother’s number.
“Mom, I have some photos here…”
……
After hanging up the phone, Yu Chengsong opened WeChat and saw Yin Gu’s message.
There was no way to refuse, the uncle and aunty kept him there for dinner.
He sent several messages, all saying how enthusiastic he was, how nice the aunt was, and how nice the uncle was too…
Yu Chengsong couldn’t help laughing.
Is a good person: Gu Gu, bring some back for me, don’t be polite to Uncle and Aunty.
After sending the message, he threw away his phone and lay down on the sofa, his arms resting on his eyes, with the corners of his lips curved.
On Yin Gu’s birthday, he told him that it was because of him that he wanted to leave home and change his previous life.
In fact, he is the same.
Before he met Yin Gu, he was so rotten, staying in this home that could not even be called a home, fighting wits and courage with his own mom and dad every day, making money by risking his life, and having to guard against the double cold knives of his own mom and dad when he returned home.
This kind of scene is enough to make people feel suffocated just by describing it, but he is different. He has been living this kind of life since he was a child. This kind of emotion and conditioned reflex have been engraved in his mind since he was six years old.
He is smart, rational, and free-spirited, but he can’t even realize that his current life is wrong and he should get rid of it.
After staying in hell for so long, one forgets what the human world is.
After meeting Yin Gu and experiencing provocations, quarrels, laughter, and noises, and living together with Yin Gu, he felt as if he was suddenly pulled out of the water. He took his first breath of air, feeling surprised and confused… it turned out that this was life.
Yin Gu was holding onto his hands. Although if one thought deeply, neither of them was sunny, they’re both trapped beasts struggling in the mud.
But what a coincidence! We met, I pulled you once, and you pulled me once.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw a clear sky, sunshine, and golden ground.
……
Yin Gu brought back the braised pork, and when he was awakened, Yu Chengsong realized that he had fallen asleep without knowing when and was even drooling.
“I might have dreamed that you brought me braised pork.” Yu Chengsong rubbed his eyes and yawned.
“I’m in your dream.” Yin Gu held him and laid him on his lap, smiling and asking, “Are you hungry?”
“No.” Yu Chengsong also smiled, “I just missed you.”
“Me too.” Yin Gu lowered his head and kissed him.
Yu Chengsong grabbed his wrist, scratched it, and said, “I just called my parents. Judging from their reaction, there will be a result tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest.”
“I’ll go with you tomorrow.” Yin Gu said.
“No need.” Yu Chengsong said.
“En?” Yin Gu tilted his head.
“I don’t think my mother would want outsiders to see this. I’m afraid she’ll go crazy.” Yu Chengsong explained. “You’d better not go.”
“Then I’ll wait at the door?” Yin Gu took a step back.
“The door?” Yu Chengsong thought for a moment and decided that the door was too close. “How about downstairs?”
“En.” Yin Gu nodded. “I’ll wait for you downstairs.”
Yu Chengsong had a good sleep at night. After all, he needed to conserve his energy as there was a big battle to be fought tomorrow…
His father was even more anxious than he was on the phone. He called him at noon the next day and told him that he had arrived at the train station. He had not slept all night in the train and had no intention of taking a rest before coming over.
“I’m at home, come up.” Yu Chengsong said casually.
“What about your mother…” Yu Jianyang asked a little fearfully.
“She is convinced.” Yu Chengsong glanced at Yin Gu, and they looked at each other and saw the smile in each other’s eyes.
Yin Gu stretched himself, sat up, and said with a smile, “Let’s go.”
“Take me on the bike.” Yu Chengsong got out of bed.
“En.” Yin Gu responded.
When Yu Chengsong opened the door, the house was in a mess. Things were smashed to pieces, even the two pillows were torn into pieces, and there was cotton wool all over the floor.
Yu Chengyuan’s crying and his mother’s scolding mixed together in a chaos.
His father sat on the sofa with his shoulders hunched, not daring to get angry or say anything. When he heard the door open, he turned around and saw him, with his fat face flailing in anger, staring and roaring, “Yu Chengsong!”
“Aiyo.” Yu Chengsong laughed and closed the door. “Mom, I didn’t lie to you. He threatened me not to tell you, and now he wants to beat me.”
“Yu Jianyang! You have the nerve to yell after finding a mistress! You are so shameless!” His mother slapped his father in the face. The crisp sound made people shiver. His mother was so angry that her shoulders were shaking. “Divorce! These things are all mine! Don’t even think about taking anything away! Useless thing!”
“Sun Fang!” His father was anxious. “I admit that I was wrong, but-but this house must have half of mine…”
“You still have the nerve to ask me for the house?!” His mother glared at him and pointed at him, “I’m telling you, Yuanyuan and I, this house and our family savings, you can’t take anything away!”
“I—” His father said.
“Wait a minute.” Yu Chengsong interrupted him, “I don’t want much either. Yu Chengdi and I will take two-thirds of your savings. After all, you still have to pay child support to Chengdi.”
“Yu Chengsong! Don’t push your luck!” His father was so angry that his face turned red. He didn’t dare to confront his mother, so he turned around and scolded him, “What does this have anything to do with you two? I’m warning you, you little bastard—”
“You can talk to the lawyer about this.” Yu Chengsong said with a smile, holding up two fingers. “There is also a second option. I will take Yu Chengdi away and support him. I am already an adult. Let’s find a lawyer to sign an agreement. From now on, Yu Chengdi and I will have nothing to do with you two. You two can just treat us as dead. You don’t need to be responsible, don’t need to pay any money, and don’t have to worry about anything.”
His father was stunned.
“What are you still thinking for?” His mother pushed him, “Sign! Yu Jianyang! Sign!”
“Wait a minute, Sun Fang…” His father was a little hesitant. If his son had nothing to do with him anymore, could they still provide for him in his old age?
“What are you waiting for?” His mother picked up a water bottle and threw it at him. “I asked you to sign! Stay away from him a bit! Did you hear me? Don’t let Yuanyuan die either! You coward!”
“Okay, okay, okay.” His father shuddered, “Okay! Sign, I’ll sign it!”
