The little fellow's innocent question makes He Tun's heart feel bitter.
He picks up the little fellow and presses his forehead against his little face, "It's quite far! Very far! "
"Is it further than outer space?"
A child's mind is always full of whimsical thoughts.
"More or less!"
He Tun rubs the little fellow's cheek. Then he presses his little face against his chest because that place is already in extreme pain.
"But I clearly saw Big Sister in this dark room! Foster father, what did Big Sister do that you want to lock her up? "
The little fellow persistently asks.
"Your Big Sister betrayed love, betrayed a vow …"
He Tun closes his eyes, suppressing the hatred in his heart that he is still unable to let go. He wants her to pay the price for her betrayal.
Not everyone could afford to take on love! He Tun is a typical paranoia about love.
In this life, perhaps he can only live in the shadow of being betrayed by a woman! Vicious cycle!
Regarding what is love, what is a vow, the little fellow doesn't really understand.
Perhaps the little fellow's understanding of love and vow is: Love is liking a person, just like how he likes his mommy Xue Luo! And a vow is something that he said, he must keep his word and cannot act shamelessly!
The little fellow uses his thumb to gently wipe away a teardrop that rolled down He Tun's cheek.
"Foster father, don't cry. Fifteen's heart is aching! "
The little fellow likes He Tun. He Tun has accompanied him for five years, there is no feeling more profound than companionship.
Especially when Lin Nuo is only a five year old child!
"Fifteen … you are really foster father's good boy!"
He Tun tightly hugs the little fellow, for a long time, unwilling to let go.
At night when he is sleeping.
"Mommy, where is the netherworld?"
The little fellow who was washed by mommy and carried up to the bed, thoughtfully asks, "Does it mean death?"
The little fellow's comprehension is still very high.
"Nuo Nuo, why did you suddenly ask this?"
Xue Luo is slightly startled. He felt that the phrase 'in the netherworld' was too cruel for a five-year-old child.
"Sigh." The little fellow sighed like an adult. "Godfather said that Eldest Sister has gone to the underworld! But I clearly saw Big Sister locked in the dark room! "
Hearing what her son Lin Nuo said, Xue Luo was even more certain: That 'Big Sister' was only a wax figure of Feng Xinglang's mother when she was young. That was why he was wearing clothes and standing still without saying a word.
"Godfather also said that Big Sister has made a mistake. She betrayed her love and her vow … It seems that Godfather doesn't want to let Big Sister out."
The little fellow seemed a little sad.
When he saw that his mommy had drawn a large version of Lin Nuo that looked very much like him, he was also sad.
Vaguely, he knew that the adult version of Lin Nuo was his biological father.
He also knew that his adoptive father Hetun was not his biological father!
He was the same as Old Fourth and Old Fifth. He was adopted by his adoptive father at home in Hetun. He wasn't his biological son.
That was why the little fellow had a good impression of the Big Sister who looked very much like him in the dark room.
Furthermore, his adoptive father had said to that Big Sister: Look at this child, doesn't he look very much like you?
At that time when his adoptive father Hetun was carrying him, the 'child' he was talking about was definitely Lin Nuo!
It was a pity that Big Sister kept silent and didn't say a word! She was probably afraid of her adoptive father Hetun, so she didn't dare to say a word.
Xue Luo also sighed slightly: Betrayed love, betrayed vows …
Sure enough, it was the same as what she thought: Feng Xinglang's mother betrayed Hetun and got together with Feng Yishan, a married man. Furthermore, she even gave birth to Feng Xinglang, this illegitimate son!
Xue Luo was a little puzzled: This man Hetun was considered outstanding. Furthermore, he was so infatuated with Feng Xinglang's mother. But why did Feng Xinglang's mother choose to betray Hetun?
What made Xue Luo even more puzzled was: It was obvious that she had already betrayed Hetun, so why did she leave behind an unfinished portrait of Hetun for her son Feng Xinglang?
Actually, this kind of thing about love, only the people involved knew clearly.
*****
Christmas Eve, should be a happy, peaceful, joyous Christmas Eve, a night of reunion.
But Lin Nuo was checking his own equipment.
"Sleeping bag, compressed biscuits, overhead lamp, leather water bottle, cane binoculars, curved torchlight … and a map!"
Seeing that her five-year-old son had prepared so much for his mommy's wish to leave Pater Castle, Xue Luo's nose turned sour.
"Mommy, is your windproof suit ready? Wait till I get my adoptive father drunk, then we can set off. "
Letting a five-year-old child take her away from Pater Castle, Xue Luo felt very sad.
"Nuo Nuo, your filial piety is enough for mommy! Mommy doesn't want to go anywhere, I just want to stay in Pater Castle! "
Xue Luo hugged the little fellow tightly in her arms, choking with sobs.
Of course she wouldn't let her son follow her and take risks.
She only wanted her son to be safe and healthy. As for her freedom, it wasn't that important anymore.
"Mommy, you lied to your own son again …"
The mother and son's secret plan was interrupted by a knock on the door. Xing Shier came to invite them to the feast.
Tonight, all the decorations in Pater Castle, the super tall and super luxurious Christmas tree were all arranged for Lin Nuo.
It was enough to see how much He Tun doted on this little thing.
"Fifteen, come to adoptive father."
The moment He Tun saw the little fellow, He Tun's thick eyebrows also raised. He seemed to be in a good mood.
But the little fellow didn't seem to be in a good mood.
He climbed onto his adoptive father He Tun's lap, feeling unhappy.
"What's the matter Fifteen? You have so many gifts and you're still unhappy? "
Seeing that the little fellow was silent, He Tun asked again, "Then Fifteen can make a wish! Who knows if adoptive father will be happy and agree to it! "
A bright light flashed in the little fellow's clear eyes, "Adoptive father, can you keep your words?"
"Of course I can! Adoptive father's words carry enormous weight! "He Tun smiled.
The little fellow subconsciously looked towards his mommy Xue Luo, but Xue Luo kept shaking her head at the little fellow.
"But I don't want to make a wish now! Let's talk about it at night! "
Her son's words made Xue Luo's heart uneasy.
That night, Xue Luo was unable to sleep peacefully. She didn't know what kind of wish her son Lin Nuo, who was taken away by He Tun, would make to He Tun.
He Tun was so sinister and cunning, how could a five year old kid be his opponent!
Xue Luo wanted to open the door, but found that her room door was locked from the outside.
With great difficulty, she endured until dawn. When Xue Luo heard the door being unlocked, she immediately rushed out of the room to look for her son Lin Nuo.
But she only saw He Tun sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.
"Mr. Xing, Nuo … where's Fifteen? Is he still asleep? "Xue Luo asked softly.
"Fifteen went to Shen Cheng to look for his biological father!"
