Chapter 241 Putting Down the Burden
Ji Tingyang's expression was gloomy, his eyes as dark as ink were solemn, and his tone was full of sullenness.
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Ji Tingyang looked at the wound on Lin Xu's knee, with a trace of panic and worry hidden in his face, and his brows could not relax for a long time.
Perhaps the previous two car accidents had such a huge psychological impact on Ji Tingyang that he was terrified every time he saw Lin Xu injured.
Lin Xu knew that he was worried about her, so she held his hand and comforted him, "It's just a skin injury on my knee. I'm not a child, so there's no need to be so nervous."
Xie Changyan retreated from his usual leisurely mood, He glanced at Ji Tingyang deeply, and just as he was about to say something, Ji Tingyang stood up.
Ji Tingyang turned away and said quietly, "I'm going to the drugstore to buy some potions and band-aids," and then walked over.
Xie Changyan looked at the back of him leaving angrily, touched his nose, and said sarcastically: "It seems that he has made his son angry."
"You can talk to him carefully later. Just open it," Lin Xu said.
Xie Changyan immediately looked back, then looked at the injury on Lin Xu's knee. He was silent for a long time, "I'm sorry, it's my fault that I didn't think much of you."
"You already protected me in the first reaction." Lin Xu He reached out and rubbed his frown away.
There was a huge crowd in the park, and Lin Xu accidentally fell to the ground. This was something no one could foresee.
If Xie Changyan hadn't immediately blocked her from behind, she would have been stepped on by the surging crowd, and in serious cases there might have been a stampede accident.
Xie Changyan half-knelt in front of her, took her hand and kissed the back of it, with a trace of remorse in his eyes.
And not far away, Ji Tingyang was holding a bag in his hand, standing there and taking a deep look at them. His deep eyes were hidden under the mottled shade of the trees, and he could not clearly see the emotions deep in his eyes at this time.
After a while, Ji Tingyang walked over.
He first rinsed and disinfected Lin Xu's wound, and then covered it with a band-aid.
The solemn look on Ji Tingyang's face softened a bit until Lin Xu's injury was no longer visible.
After finishing these things, Lin Xu stood up and walked around the two of them several times, "Look, I really have nothing to do."
As if to prove it to Ji Tingyang and dispel his worries, she stamped her feet vigorously.
"I saw it. If I stamp my legs again, they will go numb." Ji Tingyang quickly stopped her.
His mood gradually calmed down, and he was no longer panicked at the beginning.
Lin Xu secretly gave Xie Changyan a look, then looked at Ji Tingyang, asking him and his son to relax the atmosphere.
As soon as Xie Changyan opened his mouth, Ji Tingyang changed the topic, "There are too many people here. The crowds are too dangerous. Let's play somewhere else."
After saying that, he pulled Lin Xu and walked out of the park, leaving Xie Changyan behind.
A helpless breath came from Xie Changyan's throat, and he had no choice but to step forward and follow.
They visited many places along the way. Whenever Xie Changyan wanted to say something to Ji Tingyang, he would always change the subject first.
Until they returned to the hotel in the evening, the two of them did not say another word.
When Ji Yuqiao came back from get out of class, he noticed the conflicting atmosphere between Xie Changyan and Ji Tingyang, "Mother, what's going on?"
"Your eldest brother and your father had a quarrel. The two of them were having trouble." Lin Xu explained to her.
Hearing her words, Ji Tingyang blushed and retorted, "It's not a quarrel!"
Look.
Lin Xu shrugged towards Ji Yuqiao. Ji Yuqiao said in the tone of a mature adult: "Brother, you are almost going to be a three-year-old man, so don't get angry with the children and your father."
"You're all grown up. Don't let your mother call you in the morning. Get up by yourself." Ji Tingyang imitated her words and responded.
Ji Yuqiao flattened his mouth and immediately fell silent.
Ji Tingyang tugged on his collar irritably, turned and returned to the room.
"Go in and talk to the child." Lin Xu looked at Xie Changyan and pursed his lips in the direction of the room.
Move to Xie Changyan to follow.
"It will be really troublesome when the children grow up." Xie Changyan shook his head.
Children aged five or six can calm down by giving them a lollipop or taking a nap, but children in their twenties still need a lot of effort to coax them.
Although he was thinking this, Xie Changyan still entered Ji Tingyang's room.
The room was not locked, so Xie Changyan turned the handle and went in.
After seeing him come in, Ji Tingyang's tone became stiff, "What did you come in for?"
Xie Changyan pondered for a moment and said: "I failed to protect your mother, and you should blame me."
"I have been thinking about it during this time, if I had not taken your mother out on that day twenty years ago , or maybe I was the only one who died at that time..."
"Then the three of you brothers and sisters wouldn't have had such a hard time for so many years."
Ji Tingyang's sharp tone suddenly came out. He softened a bit and said, "That's not what I meant. I never wanted you to die in place of my mother."
He only hoped that both of them would be fine.
"I have always told you that as the eldest brother, you should protect your younger brothers and sisters." Xie Changyan paused, "I always wonder if these words have become shackles, and you have to bear such a heavy responsibility at the age of only seven. "
Ji Tingyang's nose felt sour, and his eyes seemed to be red. He turned his head away, his deep voice a little hoarse, "That's not the case..."
Xie Changyan walked over and patted his shoulder, "Now that we are back, you can rest assured to put down the burden on your shoulders and go Do what you want to do. "
The soreness at the tip of his nose spread throughout his body, and various complex emotions rolled in his chest. Ji Tingyang's throat felt as if something was blocked.
He took a deep look at Xie Changyan, and his vision gradually became blurred.
Thousands of thoughts welled up in Ji Tingyang's heart. He opened his mouth and was about to say something when he heard a rustling sound at the door.
"Let me tell you, brother's eyes are red and he must be crying." Ji Yuqiao peeked in at the crack of the door and whispered to Lin Xu, "What my father said was so touching. I couldn't help but cry after hearing this, and my eldest brother must not have been able to help it either."
Lin Xu also rubbed his red eyes, with a slight choke in his voice, "I'm already crying. "
"I haven't seen my eldest brother cry before. Why aren't her eyes red?" Ji Yuqiao stretched her neck and stretched almost her whole head into the room. .
“……”
Under the brief thoughts of the two people outside the door, the sourness that had just risen in Ji Tingyang's heart suddenly receded, and his mood also relaxed.
He glanced at the two people at the door indifferently, "Would you like to come in and take a look?"
Ji Yuqiao smiled dryly: "This is so embarrassing."
