Chapter 17 Chapter VII

In the evening, Dongming walked into the house exhausted, and his son bounced over and grabbed him by the corner of his clothes: "Dad, you are late today. My mother, I, and grandma and grandpa are all waiting impatiently!" "Yeah, why did you come back so late today?" the woman asked, concern written all over her face. "It's nothing, I have a lot of work, so I'm a little late." Dongming broke free from his son's little hand, walked to a corner of the sofa in the living room, and sat down slumped.In the other corner sat his mother and father, they were always close together, as if they were afraid they would not be able to touch each other.

The old lady began to ramble: "I said Dongming, why are you so haggard? Did something happen? Someone bullied you at work?" "Mom, don't worry about it, no one... dares to bully me..." Dongming answered a little reluctantly. The father beside his mother seemed to see something from his face: "Dongming, have you...did you commit a crime?" "Dad!..." Dong Ming couldn't bear it anymore, got up and walked towards the bedroom. ... In the middle of the night, men don't feel sleepy, and so do women. The woman suddenly asked: "Do you have something on your mind?"

In the darkness, her eyes twinkled like stars. "I'm leaving home for a few days." Dong Ming said lightly, his voice was extremely deep and evocative. "Where are you going?" "Don't ask. In short, when I come back, everything will be over. At that time, our family of five will be considered a real reunion. " The woman stopped talking.The night got deeper.
