240 The Unspeakable Secret of Modern Times
At exactly five o'clock in the morning, a cold came from the winter morning. A disharmonious episode appeared in a small family in Taipei, which changed the fate of the two families.
A tight cough sound came from the Ouyang couple's room. He heard the cough sound intermittently and was weak. He judged that it was a sound from a woman's throat. Judging from the sound, the woman was a little old, like a middle-aged woman.
"Cough cough...husband...husband...husband..." A weak call floated faintly from the sky. Last night, Ouyang and his wife hugged each other and cried, lying on their side without covering them. Leng Qiufen should have been awakened by the cold. After she woke up, she felt that her headache was split and drowsy. She tried hard to open her eyes, but her eyelids seemed to be bitten by millions of ants and could not stop. She knew that she was sleeping, and she knew very well that Ouyang Jin was lying beside her, and she wanted to wake up her husband.
"Qiufen, I'm here! You have a fever, have you heard it?" Ouyang Jin immediately woke up from his sleep when he heard Leng Qiufen's faint call. At this time, he found that the quilt was lying intact on the bedside, and the couple hugged Yi and slept for a night. He felt that Leng Qiufen, who was lying beside him, was a little cold. Without saying a word, he quickly spread the quilt and covered Leng Qiufen's body. Then, he reached out to reach Leng Qiufen's forehead. After feeling a certain temperature, he panicked and screamed.
"Husband, my head hurts so much... so dizzy... and so thirsty. Can you help me pour me a glass of boiled water?" After hearing Ouyang Jin's voice, Leng Qiufen felt a little more at ease, and she asked Ouyang Jin in a low voice.
"Silly, you have a fever! Where did you put the fever-reducing balls that Xin'er didn't finish last time? I'll help you find them for you! After you have a sleep, you will be sweating!" Ouyang Jin carefully helped Leng Qiufen tighten the quilt next to her and wrapped her tightly. Then he was about to get up and find a tablet for Leng Qiufen.
"It seems that the antipyretic medicine is placed in your bedside table. Do you have it?" Leng Qiufen turned his face to Ouyang Jin and signaled him to find antipyretic medicine in the bedside table. She remembered that she took it back and collected it after taking it for Xin'er last time.
After finding antipyretic pills, Ouyang Jin went to the living room water dispenser to give Leng Qiufen a full cup of boiling water, served her to take the pills, and then tied her the edge of the quilt to prevent the cold wind from pouring into the quilt. A woman's body is always weaker than a man's. Compared to Leng Qiufen, Ouyang Jin can be said to be strong and healthy. Also, when he was asleep without a quilt, Leng Qiufen became sick, and Ouyang Jin didn't even sneeze. Perhaps because he did not sleep well, his mental state looked very bad.
"Xin'er, come here, dad has something to tell you!" In the morning, Ouyang Jin got up early and sat on the sofa in the living room, waiting quietly. His face was full of tiredness, and his temples only had a few traces of silver hair, as if he had grown aged a few nights. Seeing Shangguan Wan'er yawning out of her own room, Ouyang Jin immediately waved to her and signaled.
"Dad, did you not sleep last night? Why did you sleep on the sofa in the living room?" Shangguan Wan'er had originally gotten up to go to the bathroom, but she didn't expect that as soon as she stepped into the living room, Ouyang Jin sat on the sofa and greeted her with a sad face. She thought he had sat on the sofa all night last night, so she asked him in confusion.
"Xin'er, there is something buried in my father's heart for a long time! My father doesn't tell you, it's not that he wants to hide you or deceive you, but that he is afraid that you are too young and can't bear it. Last night, my father and mother didn't sleep well all night. After careful consideration, we finally made a decision. We decided to tell you this matter frankly, but Dad hopes you don't have any unhappiness, okay?" Seeing Shangguan Wan'er not obeying his instructions, sitting next to him, but standing there lazily, Ouyang Jin didn't care too much. He still told Shangguan Wan'er calmly.
"What's the matter? It's so mysterious! Dad, nothing happened at home last night, right?" Seeing Ouyang Jin's serious expression, Shangguan Wan'er's heart suddenly became nervous. She asked Ouyang Jin in confusion.
"No, nothing happened at home! This incident is related to you!" Seeing Shangguan Wan'er so nervous, Ouyang Jin explained to her.
"It has something to do with me? Dad, what's going on! Why are you so serious? Are you going to tell me that what Xinxi said is true? This is impossible!" Hearing Ouyang Jin say this, Shangguan Wan'er suddenly tightened her body, and an ominous premonition suddenly came to her heart. She said anxiously, as if she was asking and answering.
"Xin'er, yes, what Xinxi said is true!" A secret that had been hidden in her heart for so long was told from Ouyang Jin's mouth so easily. After telling this secret, Ouyang Jin felt relieved. However, the person related to the secret itself did not feel relaxed. On the contrary, she felt like she was hit hard in the head, as if she was thunderous.
"How is this possible? You lied to me, didn't you and your mother tell me last night that Xinxi was talking nonsense, and there was no such thing at all? You must have lied to me!" The result was exactly the same as the expected situation. After hearing this secret, Shangguan Wan'er didn't believe it at all. She had the right to doubt the authenticity of this matter. Just like, the Ouyang couple had the right to choose to continue to preserve the secret or say it out.
"Xin'er, Dad didn't lie to you! Your mother and I are really your adoptive mother, and your aunt is your biological mother! We have difficulties in doing this. If you accept this fact, I will slowly explain the whole story to you!" Once the words are said, it is impossible to take them back. Since this secret has been told by Ouyang Jin, it cannot be fake. The fake cannot be true, and the real cannot be fake. At this moment, Ouyang Jin only hopes that Shangguan Wan'er can accept this fact. The others are secondary, just a matter of time. He believes that pain can be treated through time.
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! What about mom? Didn't you say that this decision was made by you and mom? Then why didn't you see mom? Where did she go?" That's right, but at this moment, can Shangguan Wan'er accept this fact? Last night, Ouyang and his wife scolded Ouyang Xinxi in front of her, but told her early in the morning that she was not their biological child. How could she accept this? How could she believe this?
"Your mother didn't sleep well last night, and we discussed it for a long time. When we finally decided to tell this secret, your mother cried! She cried and fell asleep while crying, and she didn't cover her quilt, so she got sick. She caught a cold and had a fever, and was lying on the bed now!" Seeing Shangguan Wan'er's painful expression, Ouyang Jin felt heartbroken, but she was helpless. As the saying goes, long pain is worse than long pain. Facing all this honestly is better than blindly concealing and deceiving it!
"Dad, this joke is not funny at all! Wait a minute, I'll urinate, I'll go to the bathroom first, and when you come back, you can continue to joke with me!" Shangguan Wan'er would rather Ouyang Jin continue to deceive and admit that she was telling her jokes than believe that everything he said was true. She cried, laughed, and rushed into the bathroom in a hurry.
"Xin'er..." Ouyang Jin was left alone in the living room. The huge living room was cold, as if nothing had happened just now. On the contrary, Ouyang Jin had a little more guilt and guilt. It was him who made Shangguan Wan'er cry, right?
