Chapter 412 Childhood Sweetheart 19

Wang Cailian thinks that her son is talking nonsense because of having drunk too much.

“I love Zhao Ying, Mom! I have loved her since childhood.” Chen Xiaopang says again.

This time Wang Cailian hears clearly, and then slaps his face, “What nonsense are you talking about? You say that you love Ying? If you have loved her so many years, why haven’t you gone to find her but fool around with other women every day outside? Now she comes back and you say you love her…”

“Mom! Mom!” Seeing Wang Cailian suddenly shake her body and cover her chest, Chen Xiaopang is frightened, and quickly hugs her, “Mom, calm down. Don’t be angry and listen to me!”

Wang Cailian is furious and shoves him away, “I don’t want to hear what you say! Get out of my way. I tell you, Chen Jinjin. I treat Ying as my daughter, and you don’t deserve her, so never think of being her boyfriend!”

“Mom, I really know I’m wrong. I’ve regretted it!” Chen Xiaopang crouches down, “If I knew I would fall in love with her at first sight when I grew up, I would rather die than touch other women.”

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world.

“Mom, listen to me.” He stands up, “Ying definitely still likes me. Do you know how we met?”

Wang Cailian glances at him angrily, “How?”

“Do you remember that you asked me to have a blind date last year?” Chen Xiaopang tells her that Zhao Ying replaced the woman to date him. After hearing the story, Wang Cailian shakes her head first, and then covers her chest again.

“What bad thing have I done?” She pinches Chen Xiaopang’s arm fiercely, “You say, how many women have you slept with, ah? How can you deserve Ying?”

Chen Xiaopang sits down on the ground with a gloomy face. He understands what his mother means, which is also difficult for himself to mention. From a woman’s point of view, he is dirty.

He finally meets his nemesis for having mucked about with those women for so many years.

Having seen that her son be silent, Wang Cailian sighs and says, “Xiaopang, think about it yourself… If you really want to chase Ying, won’t you feel guilty?”

“Mom…” He wants to say that Ying has been living like him all these years.

But for fear of irritating Wang Cailian, and… He is also the culprit for Zhao Ying becoming what she is today.

“But I really want to be with her. I want to marry her to be my wife.” Chen Xiaopang covers his face, and this time he really cries. He sobs at first, and then bursts into a rage of tears, as if the louder the cry, the more easily the regrets can be wiped out.

When Chen Qing enters the house, he sees such a thrilling scene. His son is crying like a fool, and his wife is silently crying beside him. He is startled and runs in with a few steps.

“What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”

Wang Cailian leans forward to take a piece of tissue to wipe her tears, “It’s all up to your son. You should beat him to death quickly. I don’t want to worry about him.”

“What have you done to make your mother angry?” Chen Qing asks.

Chen Xiaopang cried too hard, and his mind goes blank. Chen Qing asks for a long time but can’t get any answer. Wang Cailian can’t help but simply say it herself. After saying this, she asks Chen Qing.

“You say, is your son a bastard? Anyway, I don’t agree. I want to find a good man for Ying.”

Chen Qing finds it difficult to answer the question, but this is his own son. He can’t really ignore him…

“Xiaopang, you honestly say. Do you really love Ying?”

Chen Xiaopang finally recovers a bit and nods with sobbing, “Really… Really. I… I don’t look at other women now… I only… I only want her… Only one.”

“…” Chen Qing wants to say if you had known it would come to this, you would have acted differently. But when he thinks about having talked to his son a long time ago to know that Xiaopang’s changing to be so had a lot to do with him, he suddenly feels guilty.

“That… Cailian!” He has to persuade his wife, “You see, it’s difficult for Xiaopang to be willing to fall in love on the premise of marriage. Should we support him?”

“He’s thinking of chasing Ying now!” Wang Cailian snorts, “I don’t agree anyway.”

Chen Qing spreads out his hands at Chen Xiaopang to show that he cannot help.

Chen Xiaopang cries like a girl to go upstairs to the room, but Wang Cailian acts as though confronted by a formidable enemy and goes to see Zhao Ying the next day. Chen Xiaopang knows that his mother has gone to see Zhao Ying and can guess what his mother will say.

He goes to the chatting group of three buddies for help, and Tang Cao gives a stupid suggestion.

“You should go on a hunger strike!”

Chen Xiaopang is speechless.

“I’m serious. You see, generally a woman will make a terrible scene by crying, throwing a tantrum, or hanging. Now you’ve cried, so it’s time to do the second trick. It’s estimated that your running away from home will make your mom happier. Thus you’d better go on a hunger strike under her eyes.”

After that, he adds, “If the hunger strike doesn’t work, then you can try committing suicide.”

Chen Xiaopang is speechless.

Tong Yue suddenly sends an emoji to show that he has read the message in the chatting group.

“What do you mean? You also think that it will work?”

So Chen Xiaopang starts a hunger strike.

By the time Wang Cailian discovers it, it has been three days…

“Don’t think that I will help you if you starve to death.” Wang Cailian has learned a lot of information from Zhao Ying these days, knowing that her bastard son has been sorry for Zhao Ying. Therefore, she is even more reluctant to see Zhao Ying with Chen Xiaopang together.

“You’re so fat that you can be hungry for several days, regarding it as a way of losing weight!” Wang Cailian says, secretly looking at her son who is lying on the bed motionlessly like a corpse, seeing that he seems to be fine except that his face is somewhat pale.

“I tell you, Chen Jinjin, this trick is useless!” Wang Cailian walks to the door, “You want to scare me? You’re still too young and innocent.”

Another day has passed. Chen Qing can’t stay calm and secretly buys a bowl of lobster noodle from the outside and brings it back.

“Son, your mother is not at home. You quickly eat this!”

Chen Xiaopang is holding a straw cup and trembling to drink water. These days, he drinks water when he is hungry, and sleeps when drinking water doesn’t work. After going through the first three days, he magically doesn’t feel hungry…

“I won’t eat.”

Chen Qing has to be close to Xiaopang to hear what is being said, and lowers his voice when he sees it, “I didn’t lie to you. Your mother is really not at home. Eat it quickly!”

“I won’t eat.” Chen Xiaopang tries hard not to look at the bowl of delicious lobster noodle, and stretches out a shaking hand to pull his dad.

Chen Qing quickly holds his son’s chubby hands. This grip makes him surprisingly find…

“Your hands seem to be thinner?”

The feeling is different. Chen Qing touches them a few more times and is sure that they are thinner.

“Dad.” Chen Xiaopang grits his teeth to say, “You… Take the noodle away!”

When Chen Qing sees his face flush, he is so frightened that he takes it out quickly and secretly eats it in the kitchen before coming up again.

“Son, Dad is sorry for you.” He says guiltily, “Have you ever explained it to Ying?”

Chen Xiaopang shakes his head. What should he explain? He went to bed with women because of his parents’ marriage problem? What the hell is this logic?

But even Tong Yue said that people of that age could easily do things contrary to common sense. Otherwise why would people use a phrase “young and frivolous” to describe such situation at the age? But Chen Xiaopang doesn’t want to explain this to Zhao Ying in such a way.

Because he can’t make excuses for himself. What he did is what he did, and what he did is wrong.

“Dad…” He closes his eyes, “Don’t talk to me. Let me save some energy.”

Chen Qing sighs and pours a full glass of water for him before leaving. When he comes downstairs, he just sees Wang Cailian come back. Wang Cailian curls her lips when seeing him.

“Did you deliver dinner to your son secretly?”

“Your son did not eat.” Chen Qing frowns and says, “I say, if Ying likes our son, why you can’t fulfill the children’s wishes? Xiaopang is serious this time. He really doesn’t eat. I just touched his hands and felt him to be thinner.”

Wang Cailian glares at him and says, “What do you know? How many women have your son had? Why should Ying such a good girl collect the garbage?”

“…That’s your son. Can’t you just say something nice?” Chen Qing is speechless, “Anyway, if the two children like each other, will it make sense for you to prevent it?”

“Who said that Ying liked him?” Wang Cailian says, with disappointment flashing in her eyes. She personally asked Zhao Ying, but Zhao Ying said that it would be possible for her and Chen Xiaopang to be together this life.

Being a mother, doesn’t she suffer? But now Zhao Ying is unwilling. So it is useless for Chen Xiaopang to make a hunger strike!

“You should give them a chance to get along with each other, right?” Chen Qing presents an idea, “Look… You can often invite Ying to come and eat at home, and chat with you. At the same time, give your son a chance by the way.”

Seeing that she is going to stare at him again, Chen Qing quickly raises his hand and says, “You see, you get anxious as soon as I mention it. You give him a chance and let him have a try. If it really doesn’t work, he will drop the idea forever, won’t he?”

“Oh… Are you really watching him starve himself into the hospital?”

Chen Qing’s word is like a prophecy. When Wang Cailian secretly goes up to see Chen Xiaopang the next day, she finds that he has passed out, which scares Wang Cailian to call an ambulance. And the ambulance flashes its lights and sends Chen Xiaopang to the hospital.

At this moment, Chen Qing is drinking coffee with Zhao Ying in a cafe, and tells her what happened then by the way.

“Ying… I am not saying something nice for Xiaopang. Although he was stimulated by this incident to do bad things, but he later lived a life of wild orgies, which was chosen by himself.”

“I don’t mean that you have to forgive him. You see… In the eyes of your godmother and me, both of you are our children, who are of same importance. We don’t want any of you to lead a life like so.”

“I mean that if you really don’t like Xiaopang, you should make it clear to him that you two will be brother and sister in the future. But…” Chen Qing has learned about Zhao Ying’s situation over the years from Tong Yue, and he feels distressed and helpless. Why is this girl so stupid?

“If you continue to retaliate against him and yourself like this, neither of you will be happy in the end.” Chen Qing sighs, “You are both adults. Think about it yourself, OK?”

Zhao Ying is about to speak. Chen Qing’s mobile phone rings. He answers it and hears the other speaker say several sentences, which makes his face change color.

“Ying, your godmother says that Xiaopang was sent into the hospital just now.”

When Zhao Ying and Chen Qing arrive at the hospital, there is a mess in the ward.

“I don’t want to eat! I don’t want to eat!” Chen Xiaopang fiercely lies prone on his bed and covers his mouth. The nurse is holding a bowl beside him, and two male doctors hold him down, desperately trying to turn him over.

Wang Cailian cries and shouts, “What’s the use of you not eating? Ying will not forgive you even if you starve to death.”
