Across the table sat a grim-faced father, who lowered his head and pulled out a cigarette and lit it. Through the thick cloud of smoke it seemed as if we had become enemies. Yes, that’s right! I was my father’s enemy! A woman brought him and me to the brink of war.
——————
This woman was my college classmate, not in the same class but in the same college. I knew him because of the school’s costume party. In that night I met her, she has a hot body, more angelic face. Through a night of conversation I know she is from Hebei, two years to Shenyang school. Speaking of which, we are still hometown. But we don’t have the feeling of old folks seeing old folks with tears in their eyes. Between us there is just a feeling of mutual attraction. Finally, we left each other’s phone numbers and exchanged names, and then I realized that her name is Zhang Jiaqi.
In the days to come, I will always have something to send a message to her, she did not shy away from the phone call back, saying that the message is a little slow. This way the daily phone call has become a daily must-do thing. A month later we were already walking on the playground together.
I confessed to her on a rainy day. It was raining that day after study hall. The first thing I thought of when I walked back to my dorm room was whether Jiaqi had brought an umbrella. So I picked up an umbrella and ran to the school building without bothering to change out of my clothes. In front of the school building I saw her holding a book, when I appeared in the blink of an eye, Jiaqi froze she would not have thought I would appear in front of her eyes. In the rain we scattered to the playground umbrellas although small rain on my body but my heart is so hot. In the walk I tentatively grabbed Jiaqi’s hand, she did not object so we circled the playground one after another.
Girls dormitory door rain has stopped, but my body wet. She looked at me fondly, I said the words “I love you”. At that time, she did not say anything, lowered her head into the dormitory building.
I went back to my own room and lay on my bed, tossing and turning, waiting for the phone to ring again tonight.
In the middle of the night, I received a message from her. Let’s go out! A few simple words warmed me all night. We sent each other information until dawn, but I actually did not feel tired.
Two months later in a hotel we had sex, things happen I realized that was her first time. I couldn’t believe that she was so beautiful that she hadn’t accepted any guy’s advances. In the following days, we will every now and then to the hotel to stay a night. Until the school to send me abroad.
As the school’s student president, the school gave me a lot of honor. The school has two guaranteed places to study abroad, one is the principal’s son and the other is me.
The night before we left we once again came to the room where we had sex for the first time, and on the bed Jiaqi told me her unhappiness to the fullest, and we did it several times that night. But in the end, she still cried and agreed to go abroad, she said she would wait for me for three years to know that I came back.
After going abroad, we have to talk to each other once a week by phone, every time we tell each other how much we miss each other.
Calculating Jiaqi should also be graduated asked her what she intends to do? He told my family asked her to return to Hebei. The last time I talked to her on the phone was when she called. She told me she was going back to Hebei. That time I said nothing but silence. Since then I couldn’t get in touch with her and she never called again.
Three years later I was going back to China. With heavy luggage I came back to see my father. I saw Jiaqi at my home, and it was a bolt from the blue. Jiaqi saw me and ran away.
My father didn’t notice anything wrong. He asked me questions and finally introduced Jiaqi to me, but Jiaqi had already run away.
Jiaqi is the father said on the phone just married to the little mother, mother died early is the father to raise me. At first I was happy for my father’s remarriage, but now I do not know what to do?
Three days later Jiaqi and I sat in the small garden of my house. It was my father’s arrangement. He thought we should get to know each other better as a family.
Jiaqi with tears in her eyes, and my heart is like a needle in the heart. In Jiaqi’s mouth I learned that my father is her father’s business suppliers. Her father’s business in Shanghai relies on my father’s supply. After learning the news that her father was going to remarry, Jiaqi was sent over by her father, this is completely for his own business. When she said this, Jiaqi could not stop her tears from falling. Jiaqi and my father age difference of 25 years, just like me and my father.
That day I just hugged Kathy and also hugged my little mom.
That Sunday my father went to the office and I had sex with Kaki at home. It was like a dry fire as we expressed how much we missed each other.
A week later Kaki and I were caught in bed by my father. My father slapped me in the face. It was the first time in my memory that my father hit me.
I decided to talk to my father. Father accepted he agreed to negotiate with me in a private room in a hotel. I told my father everything about me and Jiaqi and explained my love for Jiaqi.
Father lit a cigarette and inhaled deeply. She is the woman that father’s famous family married back. What can father do when I am like this? For a long time father did not speak. Father’s face is heavy: “Have you ever thought for me? I am your father, she is your mother, no matter how you used to be now this kind of thing happened how can you face me?”. . This was the only thing my father said that day. That day my father smoked a lot of cigarettes and drank a lot of wine. I could only drink silently with my father.
That day I saw tears flowing out of the corners of my father’s eyes. My father was a standard northern man, and I had never seen my father shed a tear in my life, even when my mother died. In the smoke cloud I seem to see my father’s gray hair, my father really old I realized for the first time.
Think of my father’s life is not easy, think of my father in order to not be aggrieved by the life of the father did not remarry, until now I grew up. I also cried on that day, I hurriedly dry the tears I was afraid to let my father see.
The next day I bought a train ticket to Beijing and took my simple luggage to Beijing secretly.
I found a good job and my income was enough to support myself. I didn’t dare to call him and finally chose the oldest way to write a letter. In the letter I wrote: Dear father, please forgive my unfilial son! Perhaps it was a joke arranged by God. I couldn’t afford to be wrong any longer, so I chose to leave. I am fine now, I will find a suitable time to get married, I believe I will find the person I love. In the meantime, may you and your little mom be happy. I will find a suitable time to come home to see you. I hope you take care of yourself! Your unfilial son!
This is the only letter I’ve ever written to my father. In my sleep, I saw my father reading my letter with tears streaming down his face.
Last Spring Festival, I brought my girlfriend back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year. I’ve never told her about this thunderous affair between my father and me. Consider it a secret forever.
Sitting on the train looking at my sleeping girlfriend I was very relieved. Father and Jiaqi should be fine now too!
