"Dad, you only care about the last question, right?"
Yan Qiu's cheerfulness made Yan Shou suspect for a time that he was the one being visited in prison, while his father was living happily outside.
I heard Yan Qiu laugh and say: "Your father and I have been in prison for most of my life, and you are the only relative left. What else is there to look forward to? If I don't look forward to having a grandson, how can I look forward to giving you another child?"
Brother? Even if my physical condition allows it, your mother’s spirit in heaven will not agree!”
According to Yan Chou's wishes, Yan Shouyi's mother is still secretly protecting the father and son.
If Yan Chou comes out to do mischief and makes Yan Shouyi's mother unhappy, she will stop playing with them.
Yan Shouyi smiled helplessly. He had never seen his mother since he was a child. But if his father could be happy, he wouldn't mind having a stepmother.
"Stop pretending, don't you know who I like?" Yan Shou said, "Didn't you also send a letter to Lao Jin and ask Lao Jin to deliver it to Zitong?"
"Oh, you have a very bright mind. It seems I don't need to worry too much about you." Yan Qiu said with a smile: "The little girl from the Lin family is very good, and she is worthy of you."
If Yan Shouyi couldn't figure out such a simple logical relationship, then he would be no different from an idiot.
Apparently Yan Qiu was pretending to be crazy, and after being exposed by Yan Shouyi, he found a way out.
When Yan Shou listened to Yan Chou's words, he always felt that he would make a "but" twist at the end, but Yan Chou stopped talking halfway through.
It was obvious that he was holding back half a sentence.
This made Yan Shou very worried.
Although Yan Chou is in prison, he seems to know everything that is happening in the outside world.
It was as if a pair of eyes had been staring at Yan Shouyi.
Sometimes Yan Shouyi suspected that the eyes were the wooden bird Sanyuan, but Sanyuan had no chance to report to Yan Qiu.
Or maybe my father's fortune-telling skills are extraordinary. Even though he is in prison, he can predict everything outside.
Finally, there is another possibility, which is exactly the purpose of Yan Shouyi coming here today.
He became serious and asked:
"Dad, actually I have many questions to ask you."
"Just wait a moment."
Yan Chou interrupted Yan Shouyi, turned around and asked the police officer next to him for two cigarettes.
The other prisoners looked at Yan Chou with envy, and Yan Chou greeted them with a smile and a cigarette in his mouth.
It can be seen that Yan Chou not only has a good relationship with the police officers, but also gets along well with the prisoners.
He lit up a cigarette, crossed his legs leisurely and said, "Ask me."
Yan Shouyi asked: "Do you know Xue Kai?"
"Xue Kai? We know him. Hasn't he gone to find you yet?" Yan Qiu asked.
"Why is he looking for me? Who is he?"
"Son! Why can't you understand such a simple question? Xue Kai is a smart guy. During the days of serving his sentence, I taught him some of the contents of Lu Ban's book. After he was released from prison, in order to repay his kindness,
Promise to protect you for three years."
Yan Shouyi opened his mouth wide in surprise, but felt that it was expected.
He had analyzed it before, and Xue Kai's various behaviors seemed to be protecting him.
Yan Qiu continued: "In the past, you were protected by your grandpa, and he blocked many disturbances for you. Now that you are alone and have a beloved girl, you will inevitably do some stupid things. I train Xue Kai to be a good person."
It’s about letting him be your shadow and letting him do things for you that you can’t do yourself.”
Not good at doing things by yourself?
"for example?"
"Kill." Yan Qiu replied simply.
He took a puff of cigarette and whispered: "What kind of fate do you have? You should know in your heart that you killed so many people in your previous life, and you are here to pay off your debts in this life. If you start killing again and are contaminated with evil spirits, even if your grandfather is killed from the coffin,
Even if I climb out, I can't save you! That's why I trained Xue Kai. Xue Kai is just an ordinary person with hatred. He can be killed, but you can't. Do you understand?"
The corners of Yan Shouyi's mouth twitched.
He took a deep breath and leaned back on the chair. Suddenly, he felt that the father in front of him was even more strange to him than before.
No matter the changes in appearance or personality, they are inferior to the changes in mood.
It seems that my father, who seems to be broad-minded, fat, cheerful and open-minded, is not what he seems on the outside.
But he is still his father, and everything he does is for him.
Yan Qiu said: "Now that your own strength is strong enough, and you have the body of the Tiansha Corpse Puppet, Xue Kai may not be your opponent, but he must exist."
"I... don't need Xue Kai." Yan Shouyi said with a frown.
"Stop pretending," Yan Qiu smiled, "Since you came to me today to ask Xue Kai a question, you two must have met each other before. I have told Xue Kai before not to show up unless necessary.
In other words, Xue Kai has already shown up, and the only reason for him to show up is because you have murderous intentions!"
Yan Shouyi did have murderous intentions in order to protect Lin Zitong.
He wanted to treat others with their own treatment, and the target was Liu Quan and others.
He couldn't deny this, and he couldn't guarantee what would have happened if Xue Kai hadn't taken action at that time.
At the same time, Yan Shouyi also wanted to understand the reason why Xue Kai had been hiding from him.
His father hoped that Xue Kai would become his shadow, but he did not want this shadow to affect his life.
Yan Qiu finished smoking the first cigarette and used the remaining cigarette butt to light the next cigarette.
He said meaningfully: "Having Xue Kai is better than not having him. If I had been a shadow of your father back then, I wouldn't be sitting here now, nor would I have missed your growth, nor would I have missed your grandfather's funeral."
Looking at his father who had changed so much, Yan Shouyi suddenly realized his father's good intentions.
He doesn't want himself to follow the same path he took.
"Son, you have to understand that the current world is different from the troubled times in the past. Now there are rules, but some people just don't follow the rules with you, and you can't do anything about them. At this time... you need a shadow
, to make an exception for you."
Yan Qiu held a cigarette in his mouth, opened his palm, put it against the glass between the two of them, and said softly:
"In the final analysis, your fate is all your fault as a father. If I had died back then, you would not have been under so much pressure. As your father, I have missed your growth and I don't want to miss your future again.
I will do everything I can to keep you safe."
When Yan Qiu said these words, all the strangeness in Yan Shouyi's heart before was swept away.
He is still the father he is familiar with.
The Yan family members will do anything to protect their loved ones.
Mom, grandma, and grandpa all passed away like this.
Now that only my father and I are left to depend on each other, my father will naturally give everything.
No matter the cost.
Yan Shouyi closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief.
He compromised:
"I accept Xue Kai's existence, but I don't need him to hide and tell me where he is. I will go see him and have a good talk with him."
Who would have thought that Yan Qiu spread his hands and said helplessly:
"Well, I really don't know. Xue Kai is free to go wherever he goes. Even if he doesn't want to be your shadow, I can't do anything to him."
"Can't it be counted?"
"You can do the math yourself."
Yan Qiu looked at Yan Shouyi with expectant eyes.
Yan Shouyi shook his head helplessly: "Are you asking me another question?"
Ever since he was a child, Yan Chou had no intention of leaving Yan Shouyi idle and would often give him questions just to train Yan Shouyi.
So Yan Shouyi immediately understood Yan Qiu's intention.
Yan Qiu also wanted to see who was better than Xue Kai, whom he had personally trained for five years, and his own son Yan Shouyi.
It’s really not a big deal to watch the fun!
"I understand, I will find him myself." Yan Shou said.
"Good son, come on, when dad is released from prison, I will give you another big gift!" Yan Qiu said with a smile.
"It's better to waive the gift. I just hope that we can all be safe."
