Chapter 1259: Do You Want to Hear About Your Parents’ Past (2)
The students here seemed very carefree and relaxed as they chatted and joked with one another. He also saw couples that walked hand in hand pass by.
“University seems fun! I can even find my future wife here!” Yuan Yuan thought.
This was his first impression of the university.
He soon remembered that his parents were alumni of this university. He remembered his dad telling him that he had met his mom on campus.
Was that why his dad had brought him here?
——
Yuan Yuan spotted his dad sitting on a bench in the sports field. His dad leaned against a bench with his eyes closed as though he was deep in thought. However, Yuan Yuan could also see the tears that clung to his dad’s eyelashes under the lamplight.
His dad had cried.
Yuan Yuan’s heart ached for his dad. His mom had already chosen to remarry Uncle Ye but his dad was still all alone. His dad had spent 12 years waiting for his mom but his mom had ultimately chosen to be with someone else.
He could tell that his dad was very disappointed and upset.
“Dad…” Yuan Yuan said softly as he took the seat beside his dad.
They sat on the same bench.
Dusk had fallen and the sky was dark. The moon hung high up in the night sky. It was a crescent-shaped moon and soon, he could also see the tears twinkling in the sky.
“Dad, are you alright?” Yuan Yuan asked when he saw how quiet his dad was.
He knew that his dad was very upset because his mom was now lost to him for good.
Mo Yixuan opened his eyes and tears glistened in his eyes under the lamplight. He didn’t respond and only gave his son a small nod.
Yuan Yuan’s heart sank. He could tell that his dad wasn’t doing well even though he had nodded. He could see the anguish and disappointment written all over his dad’s face.
“Dad…” Yuan Yuan said as he placed a hand on his dad’s shoulder. He thought for a moment before he said, “You should try to get over her, alright? I’m sure mom wouldn’t want you to be so hung up over her.”
Yuan Yuan didn’t know how to comfort others but he knew that his mom wanted his dad to find happiness.
Mo Yixuan stared at the field in front of him and the stone steps that were near the grassy field.
The grass was green and swayed gently in the wind. He could even vaguely make out several fireflies that flitted between the blades of grass.
The campus looked beautiful in summer.
Mo Yixuan’s gaze never moved away from the field and he stared at the point ahead in a daze.
“Yuan Yuan, do you want to hear about your parents’ past?” Mo Yixuan suddenly asked.
Ah…
Yuan Yuan froze in surprise and turned to look at his dad with a frown. He had always wanted to know what his parents had been through, so he had asked Wu Xiaomin who had been employed by the Mo family about his parents’ past. However, Wu Xiaomin had only detailed how his dad had ignored his mom, how his mom had been bullied by her mother-in-law, and how his dad had brought Aunty Xia home even before they were divorced, and even asked her to get out of the Mo family.
He didn’t really want to know about their past because he knew that it was a tragic story.
He didn’t want his parents’ story to leave him with a bad impression of his dad.
He still thought that his dad had made a dumb mistake and had only lost his mom because he didn’t know how to treasure her.
