Chapter 127
He Is Warmer Than Time
127 Come out, I see you
Of course, she wanted to hit song ran too. However, her son was protecting the girl who was the culprit. Hence, she slapped her hand even harder.
Gu jinghang gritted his teeth and endured the beatings that were getting heavier and heavier. âIâm the one who decides my life.â
Wu guixiang shouted even louder,âyouâre in charge?â Ah? Youâre rebelling now, are your wings tough? Do you think that just because youâre a soldier and a small official, you can disregard your parents? Let me tell you, no matter how high your position is, even if you become a Superintendent or a general, you will still be under my control. I am your mother, your mother for life.â
Song ran could not calm down. Gu jinghangâs mother had hit him too hard. She could feel the pain in the manâs muffled groans. His mother did not feel sorry for him, but she did.
Just as she was about to stand up for Gu jinghang, he hugged her tightly. He did not want song ran to stand up for him. She was his mother, and he should face her on his own.
He took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind. He slowly spoke to the people behind him, â âSix years ago, when I decided not to continue my studies, why didnât you object so strongly?â
Wu guixiang froze for a moment and stopped what she was doing.
Gu jinghang continued,âbecause my family is poor, I had to do that.
Now, Iâm in charge of my happiness for the rest of my life. Why are you so angry?
Because you feel that you owe second aunt, so you need me to return the favor.
Iâve said it before, I can work for the second auntieâs family for the rest of my life. This is the only way I can repay a favor.
Mom, am I your son?
If Iâm your biological son, why do you want me to marry someone I donât like and live an unhappy life?
Ran asked me if I had any regrets for not going to college. I told her that it was fine, but it wasnât. I was very regretful. I wanted to study. I wanted to go crazy.
I sat on the bus from an City to Sea city. I was in a daze the whole time. After I got off the bus, I stayed at the station for the whole night.
Looking at the admission letter from Haicheng Information Engineering University, I thought, why am I the eldest son? why am I so sensible? Why do I have to stand out and support such a big family? Iâm only 18.
I squatted at the bus stop and cried the whole night.â
The broom in Wu guixiangâs hand fell to the ground. Her face turned red and white. She opened her mouth but couldnât say a word.
He felt suffocated and his hands trembled.
Song ran saw this and quickly helped Gu jinghang into the West room. She sat him down on the bed and was about to roll up his shirt when Gu jinghang finally groaned, â Xiao ran, does Xuxuâs wound hurt? â
Song ran shook her head. I only took one hit and it doesnât hurt anymore. You took more than ten hits. Jinghang, take a look at me. If I need to apply medicine, Iâll ask your mother.
Gu jinghang held her hand, lowered his head, and said in a muffled voice, â Iâm sorry, Xiao ran. Iâve let you get beaten up. Iâm sorry.
âItâs okay Jing Xing, it really doesnât hurt. What about you, are you in pain?â
Gu jinghang caressed her fingers and said in a soft voice, â âIâm her son. She can hit me however she wants.â
When these words reached Wu guixiangâs ears, who was standing in the central room, her brain suddenly went blank. Her eyes became hot, and she entered the East Room with a sullen face.
Song ranâs fingers reached under Gu jinghangâs shirt. âLet me take a look, hmm?â
Gu jinghang sat on the edge of the bed and allowed her to roll up his shirt. Under the dim light of the kerosene lamp, he saw that his back was red and it was a shocking sight. It was as if the wound was scraping at her heart, making her unable to breathe.
