“Oh, Juncheng is here.” His silly younger brother came up to greet Yi Juncheng with a big grin, and Sheng Hanjing narrowed his eyes.
Kang Weizhen suddenly said, “Have dinner with us today. It’s lonely eating alone.”
Sheng Hanjing looked at his mother in shock. Even Mom…
“Thank you, Auntie.” Yi Juncheng lowered his eyes slightly. “But I’m an outsider. It’s not very appropriate so I’d better go back to eat. Aside from me, there’s also my chef. I wouldn’t be alone. ”
Sheng Yang listened to their conversation silently, feeling somewhat strange. Yi Juncheng was refusing her family’s invitation, but why did their eyes soften gradually and seem eager to make him stay?
“No, it’s fine.” Kang Weizhen insisted. “Have dinner with us today, OK?”
Sheng Hanjing was speechless. He sat down quietly. It seemed that only playing the piano could soothe his heart.
Since he was a child, he always chose to play the piano whenever he was in trouble. Others thought it was a pain to practice piano, but he felt that the piano room was a pure land in his heart.
He still remembered the days when his young sister was lost and his parents broke down. His eldest brother didn’t seem to have any empathy and couldn’t comfort his parents, and his third younger brother was still young. Looking at his helpless parents, he wanted to do something to help them but didn’t know how to do it.
So he could only keep practicing the piano to calm down and improve himself to cheer up his parents, but unfortunately, it didn’t help.
His little self was so helpless that he even dressed up as a girl to please his mother, hoping that she would stop numbing herself with alcohol and crying all day long.
At that time, Kang Weizhen looked at him but suddenly cried even louder. He was at a loss, blinking his big eyes blankly. “Mom, don’t cry… don’t cry…”
Flustered, he wiped the tears from his mother’s face just like how she comforted him when he cried. He tried to carry her heavy burden.
Kang Weizhen cried very sadly, but when she finally stopped crying, she solemnly promised him: “I promise you I won’t cry anymore because I still have you. Hanjing, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry.”
Kang Weizhen choked with sobs.
Sheng Hanjing would never forget that scene.
Since then, his mother hadn’t gotten drunk or cried anymore. She had kept her promise to him, but he knew that the pain had never disappeared in her heart, and she had never forgotten his younger sister and looked for her all this time.
Although she couldn’t find her daughter, she always comforted herself that she must still be alive and was living somewhere quietly.
“Oh, Second Elder Brother, you play really well. Your music sounds so sentimental and touching.” Sheng Yuxi didn’t know much about music but he could tell the music was very beautiful.
Sheng Yang’s eyes lit up suddenly. Sentimental and touching?
“Yangyang, what’s the matter with you?” When Kang Weizhen asked her, Yi Juncheng also turned to her, gazing at her silently.
“I didn’t do well on the Chinese exam.” Sheng Yang suddenly brought up this topic.
Kang Weizhen thought for a while. “I remember you’re not good at Chinese, right?… Well, I mean, not as good as other subjects… Which score did you get? Actually, you don’t have to worry that much.”
Kang Weizhen wanted to comfort her, so she wanted to know the score first.
