Chapter 2765 - 906: Confusion

Chapter 2765: Chapter 906: Confusion

"Alright, stop talking."

After speaking, Ah Yan turned around and went out.

Lu Yinxing could understand Ah Yan’s feelings; it was probably difficult for him to accept all of this at once.

In fact, upon hearing it, Lu Yinxing found it incredible.

It sounded a bit unbelievable, but it really happened.

Only Zhou Dachuan and Lu Yinxing were left in the ward.

Lu Yinxing was still sitting by the bed.

Zhou Dachuan slowly turned his head.

Zhou Dachuan said, "Good child, it’s great that Ah Yan met you. Once I recover, I’ll definitely hold the grandest wedding for you two. I feel I’ve let this child down too much in this life. I hope his future life can be happy, so when I meet his mother, I can be at peace."

Lu Yinxing furrowed her brows slightly.

"Uncle Zhou, have you misunderstood something?"

Lu Yinxing thought he must have misunderstood her relationship with Ah Yan.

The mere mention of ’wedding’ scared Lu Yinxing.

Zhou Dachuan seemed increasingly weak, his eyes slightly closing, "Child, I want to rest for a while."

Lu Yinxing knew of Zhou Dachuan’s physical condition.

Just a moment ago, he was talking so much with Ah Yan.

Now it’s time for him to rest.

So Lu Yinxing quickly said, "Uncle Zhou, you should rest well. I’ll come to see you again tomorrow."

Lu Yinxing also left the ward.

Ah Yan was nowhere to be found.

Lu Yinxing changed her clothes and came out.

At the end of the corridor, she saw the back of Ah Yan.

Lu Yinxing quickly walked over.

Ah Yan was smoking over there.

Lu Yinxing walked over and directly took the cigarette from Ah Yan’s fingers, throwing it into a nearby trash can, "I’ve told you many times, kids shouldn’t smoke. If you have any worries, you can talk to me."

Lu Yinxing truly felt for Ah Yan.

Surely, what Zhou Dachuan just said in the ward must have overturned his world.

Ah Yan remained silent.

Lu Yinxing stood there quietly by his side.

After a long time, Ah Yan finally spoke, "I haven’t seen him in ten years, I didn’t expect him to be so old."

Lu Yinxing knew he left when he was ten years old.

But Ah Yan’s memories of Zhou Dachuan should still linger from ten years ago.

Ah Yan continued, "Actually, all these years while I was outside, I felt like I was always in pain. In these ten years, I haven’t even had a proper night’s sleep. I’ve always lived in the shadow of my mother’s death. I regret every day, wondering if everything would have been different had my mother not gone to buy me a cake on my birthday. I feel like I’ve been trapped in a cage for so many years, suffering, struggling, and eventually turning into a freak, unable to connect with the outside world or integrate into society. But after all these years, I’ve gotten used to the cage. I don’t even want to leave it anymore. Why did he have to tell me these things?"

Ah Yan’s gaze pierced through the window, looking far into the distance with a somewhat confused look, his expression blank.

At that moment, he looked like a lost child.

Lu Yinxing couldn’t quite feel what he was going through.

Perhaps such experiences are hard to truly empathize with.

But Lu Yinxing recalled a line from the classic movie The Shawshank Redemption.
