Chapter 13 Going the opposite way

Ren Zhaoyuan has always been serious about studying his chosen major when he went to university in China, but his interest dictates that most of his spare time is still devoted to jewelry design.

At that time, Mr. Sun's art design principle had the lowest coincidence rate with his class schedule. It didn't take long for Mr. Sun to remember him, and he often read his name when asking questions in class.

Gradually learning about Ren Zhaoyuan's situation and discovering his talent and ability, Mr. Sun has always treated him with higher requirements than major students, and has recommended famous teachers for him more than once. A "world" was due to Teacher Sun.

At the end of the university, after a brief meeting with his parents, in endless confusion and self-doubt, he was led home by Teacher Sun like a child, and drank a bowl of hot sweet Soup, the most homely meal eaten on a small folding table with a chessboard printed on it.

Later, Teacher Sun patted him on the shoulder and said to him: "Parents, relatives, friends, lovers, children, all fate can't be forced. In life, one must first be worthy of oneself."

"You need to know what you want and keep that in mind."

"Cherish what you have now and pursue your dreams."

"You don't need anyone to judge, you are your own meaning."

"Go, go the way you really want to go."

"What are you afraid of?"

The hospital is always full of people.

Ren Zhaoyuan brought a bunch of carnations and went upstairs in the faint smell of disinfectant.

The voice came from the ward. Ren Zhaoyuan heard the teacher say that the sun was good today, and then stopped when he heard the next sentence, "It's not very windy."

No need to look at all, Ren Zhaoyuan just heard the vague voice and knew that it was Zhao Yuanqing inside.

Business cannot be delayed.

Ren Zhaoyuan went to the door and knocked on the door. When he walked in, he first called "Teacher" and "Sister", put the flower on the bedside, nodded and greeted Zhao Yuanqing, "You are also there", and then said with a smile, "Teacher is in such a good spirit today."

"Yeah, it's all good. I still want to go out for a walk. Both your wife and Yuan Qing said it was too windy, so don't let it go."

The teacher's bed was facing the window, about a meter away from the window, and the wife was sitting there. Zhao Yuanqing was sitting on the side near the door. After Ren Zhaoyuan entered the door, he could only put the flower on the bedside table on Zhao Yuanqing's side.

Zhao Yuanqing stood up when Ren Zhaoyuan first entered the door. He didn't expect that Ren Zhaoyuan would take the initiative to greet him, but he didn't have time to answer. When the teacher mentioned himself, Zhao Yuanqing immediately pointed to the seat he had just given up and said, "Zhaoyuan, sit down."

"no need."

The wife got up and took out a stool from the end of the bed and put it on her side, and said, "Yuan Qing, sit down, there is still room here. Zhaoyuan, come and sit, just to help me support the wool."

"Okay," Ren Zhaoyuan agreed to go around the bed, and continued on the previous topic, "The wind is really strong today. According to the weather forecast, it will be smaller tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. It has been sunny recently, so don't worry."

The teacher nodded with a smile: "I listen to you, I am the one who has no right to speak now."

Ren Zhaoyuan said, "How could it be possible? My wife told me two days ago that you have always been in charge of the house, and she couldn't find the battery when she went back."

"How could she know this, her life is almost over and she still doesn't know whether to pour oil or salt first for cooking."

"There is a specialization in surgery," Mistress retorted with a smile while she was trimming her wool. "If you want me to tell you, your life is almost over and you still don't know how to get a needle on a hook glove."

"Yes, yes, I can't tell you."

"That's because what I said makes sense, Zhaoyuan, don't you?"

Ren Zhaoyuan smiled and shook his head: "I won't tell you that honest officials keep doing housework."

The teacher smiled too, pointed at Ren Zhaoyuan's open palm and said, "This is the hand that uses a pen for design, are you really supporting her yarn?"

"I ate an egg roll in the morning and it was covered in hand oil, but I just washed it, you don't know."

The teacher couldn't help laughing again and said, "If we don't support her, her arms will be sore in a while."

"Okay, don't let your precious student get hurt."

"Don't be too busy, take a break," the teacher reached out and touched her, "Look at the picture Zhaoyuan brought?"

The mother said angrily: "If you want to see it, just say it directly, beating around the bush..."

Ren Zhaoyuan brought a computer and color-printed blueprints over, and showed them the newly designed gold wire hollow phoenix crown and bead-bearing buyao.

The other colored combs, dangling earrings, and dangling bracelets have all started to be produced, and the finished products will be available tomorrow, only these two pieces have not been decided yet.

The teacher has never been engaged in the jewelry design industry and is not familiar with the current technological development. If it is made according to the original idea and design of the teacher, the phoenix crown alone will take three months to complete at the earliest.

When Ren Zhaoyuan put the design back into his pen, he focused on the labor-intensive consideration. If the same effect can be achieved, he should try not to design purely by hand. All materials and processes involved use existing ones. quality.

"You're right, the times have developed, you can't be stubborn. Well, well, it's better than my previous design..." The teacher stretched out his hand and slowly swiped on the screen, carefully zooming in to see every detail for his wife beside him. "Do you like it? I promise you, Golden Wedding."

When he was young, he married a sweet wife, and the promised phoenix crown, xiapi, gold and silver gifts disappeared because of a sudden change that happened overnight, and only a red silk on one side's head was brought into the house.

In this life, teach and educate people, and have nothing to do with students, but only feel that owe lover.

But day by day, year after year, when the days are good, you have to provide for your children, and when your children grow up and have children, it seems that there are always more important people and things to take care of.

It was only now that he finally took out his savings and the blueprints that he had changed many times, and fulfilled the promise made decades ago to the closest person by his side.

Mistress couldn't help turning her head to the side, and after a while, she turned back with red eyes and said, "You're just stubborn, have you bought less jewelry after so many years? I don't know how many hands and ears I have..."

Ren Zhaoyuan stayed quiet for a long time, and only answered when the teacher said, "Let the children see a joke", and he was softly relieved.

Finally, made a few changes, changed the nine-character ring used for hanging beads, and changed the golden wings from a single layer to a multi-layer. Ren Zhaoyuan marked them down one by one, and told the teacher to send the renderings in the evening, and the production can start tomorrow.

"Zhaoyuan!"

Ren Zhaoyuan stopped and turned to look at Zhao Yuanqing, who was chasing after him.

"The doctor said that the earlier the teacher's condition, the lower the risk of surgery. I have contacted me. As long as the family members sign, the specialist surgery can be arranged tomorrow morning."

"The teacher would like to see the full set of jewelry made for re-operation."

Zhao Yuanqing frowned and said, "The teacher is too old and stubborn to figure it out. Are you following him? What if the teacher's condition deteriorates while waiting for the jewelry to be made? Who will be responsible?"

"This is the teacher's decision. The mother and wife respect and agree, and others are not qualified to intervene."

After Ren Zhaoyuan was about to leave, Zhao Yuanqing suddenly grabbed his arm.

Ren Zhaoyuan backhanded and broke free: "Zhao Yuanqing, if you are really worried about the teacher's body, you shouldn't be wasting my time here now."

"Talking to me is a waste of time? Why aren't you afraid of wasting time when you and Tan Zheng are inseparable at the gate of the Design Garden?"

Ren Zhaoyuan frowned, and when Zhao Yuanqing was about to come over again, he said coldly, "If you do this again, I will do it."

Zhao Yuanqing's heart throbbed because of Ren Zhaoyuan's disgusted look. He raised his hand and fell back, and his tone and gesture of questioning weakened. He asked softly, tremblingly, "He spent the night in the Design Park last night? ..Are you together?"

He knew that he shouldn't say things from his own mouth about sleeping with other people, but he couldn't hold back.

Ren Zhaoyuan didn't care about this and didn't answer.

"Surveillance and stalking is illegal. If you continue, I promise that the next meeting will be either the court or the police station."

"Do you have to use this attitude to talk to me?" Zhao Yuanqing's confidence in the past has become weaker and weaker. He used to be sure that Ren Zhaoyuan would not like others, and that he would come back sooner or later, but now he does not dare.

Tan Zheng is not an old friend who has been with Ren Zhaoyuan all the time. He has ulterior motives for Ren Zhaoyuan, but Ren Zhaoyuan just didn't shut him out.

Ren Zhaoyuan never smiled at any suitor.

This was what troubled him the most.

"Zhaoyuan," Zhao Yuanqing called out his name in a low voice, "yesterday my parents asked me if you were doing well recently, and if you would go home during the new year. You were so angry last year and remember to give them New Year's greetings. Don't be left behind this year. They I've always missed you."

Ren Zhaoyuan closed his eyes.

He lived with the man in front of him for ten years, not ten days and ten months.

Zhao Yuanqing knew too much what he cared about.

At a time when homosexuality was not legal or even unreasonable in the eyes of many people, Zhao Yuanqing's parents accepted him with the most tolerant attitude even if it was difficult to accept, and never spoke ill of him.

After that, as time went on and they got along for a long time, he sincerely regarded them as parents.

Too bad it's not anymore.

Ren Zhaoyuan felt tired.

He has talked to Zhao Yuanqing many, many times, questioning, doubting, intense, collapsing, calm, and indifferent, but no matter the length of time, he feels tired.

On the matter of infidelity in marriage, their most essential views run counter to each other.

Zhao Yuanqing admits that he is wrong but feels that he is not unforgivable. He believes that his mistakes can be corrected and his feelings can be redeemed. He believes that the biggest crux is that he has not won Ren Zhaoyuan's forgiveness.

But here in Ren Zhaoyuan, Zhao Yuanqing fired a shot at the heart of their marriage by doing such a thing.

dead, how to save?

But Zhao Yuanqing didn't believe it, even if his heart stopped breathing and his body was cold, he just didn't believe it, and he still broke his ribs one by one with force, and asked why he couldn't get up.

Ren Zhaoyuan asked himself that he had done everything he could. Even the divorce had to be achieved by collecting evidence and suing, but he could not change Zhao Yuanqing.

He had already given up.

The sadness is gone, the pain is gone.

Even the fact that the person who once loved wholeheartedly wiped out all the love with his own hands, gave him the sense of desolation that was gone.

Just feel tired.

"They are your parents, not mine," Ren Zhaoyuan felt dizzy, only to think that he forgot to take his medicine after eating in the morning, "I don't want to make things too ugly. There is indeed a part of their reason... Zhao Yuanqing, you always play emotional cards with me."

Anyone who is familiar with Ren Zhaoyuan knows that he is very emotional.

Zhao Yuanqing has been with him for many years even more clearly.

Just talking about Mr. Sun, Ren Zhaoyuan would definitely visit every time he came back from a few years abroad, and he never missed every festival after returning to China. And because I have been taught and helped me carefully, whenever I meet someone who really wants to learn jewelry design, no matter what the identity of the other party is, they will always help.

It is because of this that Zhao Yuanqing will take this point as an entry point to restore Ren Zhaoyuan, and he is sure that those ten years are his unique bargaining chip.

Ren Zhaoyuan seemed to see his thoughts clearly, but because of his confusion, he continued after a moment of silence.

"But you never seem to understand that I can never look back, because there were many good feelings in the past."

Probably because he had just met his teacher and his wife, and witnessed what he had always envied and wanted, the intimacy and reliance on hand in hand to grow old, and the trust and respect that fully delivered each other's knowledge.

And Zhao Yuanqing used to be the object of his emotional expectations.

So no matter how tired, even if Ren Zhaoyuan has been disappointed countless times, he still can't help but want to try again.

the last time.

"If you really think the past between us is precious, let it go."

"Don't bother anymore."

"Zhao Yuanqing."

"I really don't want to..."

"One day thinks those years aren't worth it."
