"What about Yu Yuan? You don't want to know where Yu Yuan is?" The sky was dark and the neon lights were on. Ling Fangping looked out of the window and suddenly spit out such a sentence.
"I will take you to a place." The steering wheel swayed to the right and the car turned in a quiet path. After twenty minutes, they stop at an abandoned construction site.
Although this place is not too far from the bustling downtown, the location is very remote and there are no tall buildings nearby. The grasslands on the construction site seem to have been abandoned for a long time. The two uncompleted buildings with seven or eight floors are standing there like two eroded of flesh and blood.
Ling Fangping inexplicably looked at Tan Zeyao: "Do you want to kill me?" It is indeed a good place to kill people and throw corpses.
Tan Zeyao's imagination about the child was very helpless. He locked the car and squeezed his nose. He took off his coat and put it on his (LFP) shoulder and grabbed his waist: "Follow me."
Ling Fangping pointed to the hand on the waist: "I will go by myself."
Tan Zeyao: "I know you will go, so I am not holding you."
Ling Fangping："......"
Follow the stairs without railings and go all the way to the top floor.
The line of sight was suddenly bright like Tianyu* cover. The blue sky is star-studded and it merges into a star-like river. The night wind blew, it gives a little bit chilly but it was refreshing.
(T/N: can't find the meaning of it.)
"Why did you bring me here?"
"Look at the stars and feel the wind by the way."
Ling Fangping: "Yes, I forgot to bring a coat."
Tan Zeyao："？"
Ling Fangping: "The wind feels good."
Tan Zeyao: "..." It seems that as long as there is Ling Fangping, the atmosphere will not become serious.
Ling Fangping shrugged: "I am telling the truth."
Tan Zeyao chose to ignore his words and directly said: "When I was a child, I often came to see the stars alone..."
"When watching the stars, isn't it only happen on Qiong Yao's* novel?" Tan Zeyao's sharp eyes swept over and Ling Fangping quickly raised his hands to surrendered. "It looks like you were very lonely when you were young."
(T/N: popular taiwanese writer)
Tan Zeyao "Hmm", has a little bit of a child's keenness: "At that time, my father was wanted* all over the country, leaving me alone to flee abroad. When I was ten years old, I was followed by a group of people, they grabbed and stole me but I fight the group. It looks like a big fight, but there is not even a person who can tell the truth*."
(T/N: as in wanted mean criminal?)
(T/N: no one want to get involved)
This time it was finally Ling Fangping's turn to be surprised. His impression of Tan Zeyao is that the kind of brother and son who are both well-born and well-educated but the most unfortunate should be the first birth of the scholarly door*. And Tan Zeyao's mother is so temperament, the corner of the living room is covered with dust cloth. If Ling Fangping did not admit it, it should be a piano.
(T/N: 应该是书香门第出身 meaning Tan Zeyao's family has a literary reputation)
I did not expect him to have such a dark childhood.
Tan Zeyao sighed and said: "I also stumbled upon this place. It has been almost ruined for twenty years. At that time, this building has just stopped working. I often come alone here and smoke. Looking at the stars all night. It makes me feel safe."
Ling Fangping does not comfort people that much. He had to pat him on the shoulder: "Does your mother care for you?"
"When I was thirteen, I was seriously injured in a group fight. She took me home from the ruins."
Ling Fangping couldn't help but say "ah". He has been able to go smoothly from childhood to adulthood, his parents hurt* and his pampered sister. Although fortunately he has not been used to a defeated* family but he never imagined such suffering.
(T/N: from his decision to be in military when he was junior high)
(T/N: wastrel)
Tan Zeyao suddenly hook his lips: "Didn't expect it?"
Ling Fangping said: "Yes. Look at you are now, I didn't expect that you have such a dark childhood."
Tan Zeyao has not expected to hear good words from his mouth. He simply blocked the annoying mouth and then said: "After my mother adopted me, I have not been here for many years. The previous year, my mother was sick and hospitalized in a month. I was in a bad mood. So I ran here to smoke. Late that night, it was here that I saw Xiao Yu sitting alone on the bricks. The first time I saw him, I knew that I am gonna be with him. The same person in my life, the same loneliness, the same pride, the same cynicism, the same does not care about their own lives."
"Not long after, he was admitted to hospital with a heart attack. I am his attending doctor. His heart disease is not too serious. The chances of successful surgery can reach more than 90%, but the child said coldly that he don't want to undergo surgery. It’s good to die because he's already dead. When we contacted his parents, his father yelled “Do as you wish” and hung up the phone. His mother even asked us if we would have surgery and we would say a positive answer. 'That’s still not to be done, it’s not very serious anyway’. At that moment, I suddenly began to feel bad about him. I know now that no one will hurt if he died because no one loves him. So I want to give him a home.”
He paused and added: "I think I should give him a home."
"So," the child's eyes sparkled under the stars and Tan Zeyao was reluctant to remove his eyes. "I took him home, I cooked for him, bought him clothes, sent him to school and it took two months. One day, he suddenly disappeared. I searched all the places he might go but didn't find him. It was already half a year after seeing him again. He was already unconscious when he was sent by the police. Fortunately, later the operation was very successful but the person was never awake. Then you came."
Ling Fangping suddenly raised his eyebrows. Tan Zeyao asked: "What happened?"
Ling Fangping waved his hand to Tan Zeyao: "Is it uncomfortable? Let's go to the hospital." He said he would hold him when he leaned over.
"Let go!" When he came to a princess from time to time, he was really worried.
