240 The Unspeakable Secrets of Modernity

At five o'clock in the morning, there was a chill in the winter morning, and in a small family in Taipei, there was a discordant episode that changed the fate of two families.

A tight coughing sound came from the room of the Ouyang couple, and the coughing sound was intermittent and weak, judging that it was a sound coming from a woman's throat. Judging from the voice, this woman is a bit older, like a middle-aged woman.

"Ahem...... Husband...... Ahem...... Husband......! A faint call floated through the sky. Last night, Ouyang and his wife hugged each other and cried, sleeping on their sides without a quilt. Leng Qiufen should have been woken up by freezing, and after she woke up, she felt that she had a splitting headache and was groggy. I tried hard to open my eyes, but my eyelids seemed to be bitten by thousands of ants, and I couldn't stop it. She knew that she was asleep, and she also knew very well that Ouyang Jin was lying next to her, and she wanted to wake up her husband.

"Qiufen, I'm here! You have a fever, do you hear that? Hearing Leng Qiufen's faint call, Ouyang Jin immediately woke up from his sleep. At this time, he found that the quilt was lying intact at the head of the bed, and the couple slept with each other for a night. He felt that Leng Qiufen's body lying beside him was a little cold, and without saying a word, he quickly spread out the quilt and covered Leng Qiufen's body. Then, he reached out and reached for Leng Qiufen's forehead. After feeling a certain temperature, he panicked and yelled badly.

"Husband, my head hurts...... I'm so dizzy...... I'm so thirsty, can you pour me a glass of boiling water? After hearing Ouyang Jin's voice, Leng Qiufen felt a little more steady, and she whispered to Ouyang Jin.

"Fool, you have a fever! Where did you put the fever pills that Xin'er didn't finish last time? I'll help you find it for you! You eat and sleep, and it's good to be born in sweat! Ouyang conscientiously helped Leng Qiufen tighten the quilt next to her and wrapped her tightly. Then he was ready to get up and go to help Leng Qiufen find a piece.

"The fever reducer seems to be on your bedside table, can you see if it has any?" Leng Qiufen turned her face to Ouyang Jin's side, and motioned for him to go to the bedside table to find antipyretics, she remembered that she took it back and put it away after giving it to Xin'er last time.

Finding the fever-reducing pills, Ouyang Jin went to the water dispenser in the living room to bring Leng Qiufen a full cup of boiling water, served her to eat the pills, and then tied the edge of the quilt tightly for her to prevent the cold wind from pouring into the quilt. Women's bodies are always weaker than men's, and compared to Leng Qiufen, Ouyang Jin can be described as physically strong. Also when he fell asleep without a quilt, Leng Qiufen was sick, and Ouyang Jin didn't even sneeze. Perhaps, because he didn't sleep well, his mental state looked very bad.

"Xin'er, come here, Dad has something to tell you!" In the morning, Ouyang Jin got up early and sat on the sofa in the living room and waited quietly. His face was full of tiredness, and his sideburns had grown a few strands of silver hair, as if he had aged a few years overnight. Seeing Shangguan Wan'er yawning out of her own room, Ouyang Jin immediately beckoned to her.

"Dad, didn't you sleep last night? Why do you sleep on the sofa in the living room? Shangguan Wan'er originally got up to go to the toilet, but she didn't expect that as soon as she stepped into the living room, Ouyang Jin sat on the sofa and greeted her with a sad face. She thought he had spent the whole night on the couch last night, so she asked him suspiciously.

"Xin'er, there is something that has been buried in Dad's heart for a long time! Dad doesn't tell you, it's not that he wants to deliberately hide you and deceive you, Dad is afraid that you are too young to bear it. Last night, Mom and Dad didn't sleep well all night, and after much deliberation, we finally made a decision. We decided to tell you frankly about this, but Dad hopes you don't have any unpleasantness, okay? Seeing that Shangguan Wan'er didn't follow his instructions and sat beside him, but stood there lazily, Ouyang Jin didn't pay much attention to it. He still calmly spoke to Shangguan Wan'er.

"What's the matter? It's so mysterious! Dad, nothing happened at home last night, right? Seeing Ouyang Jin's stern expression, Shangguan Wan'er's heart suddenly became nervous, and she asked Ouyang Jin suspiciously.

"No, nothing happened at home! This matter is about you! Seeing Shangguan Wan'er so nervous, Ouyang Jin explained to her.

"Something to do with me? Daddy, what the hell is going on! Why have you become so strict? Are you going to sue me that what Xin Xi said is true? It's impossible! Hearing Ouyang Jin say this, Shangguan Wan'er's body suddenly tightened, and an ominous premonition suddenly hit her heart. She spoke to herself anxiously, as if asking and answering herself.

"Xin'er, yes, what Xinxi said is true!" A secret that had been hidden in his heart for so long was actually told from Ouyang Jin's mouth so easily at this moment. After telling this secret, Ouyang Jin felt a sense of relief. However, the person who has to do with the secret itself, she does not have such a relaxed feeling. Instead, she felt like she had been hit hard in the head. It was like thunder.

"How is this possible? You lied to me, didn't you tell my mother last night that Xinxi was talking nonsense, and there was no such thing at all? You must have lied to me! The result was exactly the same as expected, and after hearing this secret, Shangguan Wan'er didn't believe it at all. She had the right to doubt the veracity of the matter. Like, Ouyang and his wife have the right to choose to continue to keep this secret or say it.

"Xin'er, Dad didn't lie to you! Your mother and I are really just your adoptive mothers, and your aunt is your biological mother! We do this because of our pains. If you accept this fact, I will slowly explain to you the ins and outs of the whole thing! "Once the words are spoken, it is impossible to take them back. Since this secret has been told by Ouyang Jin, it cannot be fake. It can't be fake, it can't be fake. At this moment, Ouyang Jin only hoped that Shangguan Wan'er would accept this fact. Everything else, it's secondary, it's just a matter of time. He believes that injuries can be healed with time.

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! What about Mom? Didn't you say that you made this decision with your mom? So why aren't there people who see mom? Where did she go? "That's right, but at this moment, can Shangguan Wan'er accept this fact? Ouyang and his wife scolded Ouyang Xinxi in front of her last night, but this morning they told her that she was not their biological child, how could she accept this? How could she believe it?

"Your mother didn't sleep well last night, we discussed it for a long time, and when we finally decided to tell the secret, your mother cried! Crying, crying, and falling asleep, and without a covers, so I got sick. She's got a cold, she has a fever, and she's lying in bed! Seeing Shangguan Wan'er's painful expression, although Ouyang Jin felt heartache, he was helpless. The so-called long pain is better than short pain, and it is better to face this qiē honestly than to blindly conceal and deceive!

"Dad, this joke isn't funny at all! Wait a minute, I'm in a hurry, I'll go to the toilet first, and then you can continue to tell me bad jokes when you come back! Shangguan Wan'er would rather Ouyang Jin continue to deceive and admit that he was joking with her, rather than believe that what he said was true. Crying, laughing, and anxious, she rushed into the toilet.

"Xin'er ......!" Ouyang Jin was left alone in the living room, the huge living room was cold, as if nothing had happened just now. On the contrary, Ouyang Jin had a little more guilt and guilt, he made Shangguan Wan'er cry, didn't he?
