They both didn't realize that soone was standing not far away listening to their conversation. Yue Yue turned her head to look at Zhai Kuijun and seeing the depression between his brows, she didn't know what to do to ease it. She really couldn't do anything about it.
She knew what kind of power she held over her own son. He would do everything as long as it made her happy. But she didn't want him to live such a life anymore. She didn't know why but despite all her efforts, her son's life still seed to be revolving around her.
Noticing her gaze, Zhai Kuijun looked back at her and smiled when he saw the concern in her eyes. He shook his head at her to reassure her but it didn't really help.
They didn't make their presence known. Instead, Zhai Kuijun took her out of there.
Yue Yue thought about it hard before constructing her words and typing them out for him, 'Don't take Fai's words to heart. He speaks without thinking.'
Zhai Kuijun's smile deepened when he read the sentence and shook his head at her, "No, that's not right. Fai's thoughts are deeper than anyone else. He doesn't speak without thinking. But I don't bla him for having such thoughts either. I'm already glad that he didn't reject or Yanjun outright. At least, he is trying his best to be civil with us."
'This is nothing to worry about. My son might act careless but he would never be rude to people for no reason. He doesn't dislike Yanjun either. You heard it too. He really liked Yanjun.'
"Yes, and he changed after knowing Yanjun's identity." Zhai Kuijun sighed to himself. He really wanted to be a part of his son's life but it was such a difficult thing to do. Breaking Zhai Yanjun's defenses was easy but Hyson was different. "I know that he is willing to accept or Yanjun only for your sake. For your happiness, he can go to any length."
Yue Yue felt down when she heard this. She didn't feel proud of having a son who cared about her so much. It felt more like she was the shackle of his own existence. Sotis, she wondered if she was the reason why her son was said to be an asexual.
'Right. He really can do anything as long as it can make happy. But he doesn't realize that seeing him putting down his own happiness for my sake only makes feel worse. I never intended to hold him back but sohow I did exactly that. I was the reason he was outcasted by his peers. No one wanted to play with a boy whose mother couldn't speak. I even wondered if he blad for that but he never did. He fought like a wolf with all those who pointed their fingers at . I heard kids whose parents have so disabilities might develop so resentnt toward their imperfect parents because that makes them seem different from their peers. But he had no resentnt.'
Zhai Kuijun patted his shoulder as he comforted her, "I told you, he was always the sensible one. Why would he bla you or resent you for others's opinions? He is smarter than that."
'It's because he is so smart that he can't get over so hurdles in his heart. You should be patient with him. This patience might last a lifeti too. But I believe one day he'll get over the hurdle in his heart and accept you and Yanjun wholeheartedly.'
Zhai Kuijun smiled when he read her words and looked up at her, "Do you really think so?"
'I know so. He is my son. I raised him. I am pretty sure that he'd cave in once he sees your sincerity. Haven't you noticed that he never really fights with Yanjun? He never takes his anger out on him. If he was as unreasonable as he says he is, he'd have already had a fistfight with Yanjun. He might throw a verbal jab around but he is never really trying to hurt Yanjun. It's because Yanjun had always been exceptionally patient with him and even a little doting like an elder brother. And even though Fai looks like he finds him annoying, that's not the case.'
Zhai Kuijun thought about it and realized that the relationship between his two sons seed to be sothing like that. He never noticed such details before but now that she pointed it out, he ca to realize a lot more things. Hyson seed to value sincerity a lot. It was Zhai Yanjun's sincerity that didn't allow Hyson to do sothing like take out his anger on Zhai Yanjun. It wasn't just because of his mother as he said it himself.
It seed that Hyson was just as awkward at family relationships as his best friend Raelle. They both had peculiar family dynamics and their way of getting along with family was also different. Just like Raelle always kept an indifferent attitude toward her two siblings, Hyson did the sa with his brother. But deep down, they both really cared even if they weren't willing to accept it.
Zhai Kuijun smiled to himself as he thought of this. They were such awkward kids. But they were such good kids too.
"I'm in no hurry," said Zhai Kuijun. "And I really didn't take Fai's words to heart just now. It did make feel a little uncomfortable but that's it. I can't just go and demand him to accept all at once. That'd be forcing things. And I don't want to force him for anything. Even if it really takes a lifeti, I will take my ti. I have a lot to prove to him. How can it be done in such a short ti?"
Yue Yue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw his relaxed smile. She really didn't want him to overthink things. No one wanted Hyson to have a good relationship with his father more than her. Because he needed a father in his life even if it was so late.
