[R18] Paradox [siblings] – “Paradox [Sister and Brother]” breaks the cage [English]

When he opened the door, a bright cold light came into his eyes from the other side of the entrance.

Ling Qingyuan glanced in that direction, slowly took off his shoes and walked into the living room.

“Mom.”

The woman who was sitting on the sofa with her breasts crossed didn’t even look back and spoke in a bad tone: “So late?”

Ling Qingyuan stopped and said, “There’s a traffic jam on the way back.”

“Traffic jam?” Qiu Shanhua’s voice was very soft, “Come here.”

he followed the instructions and walked to the edge of the sofa, his face as calm as water – something seemed to be fermenting in the air, vaguely and unclearly.

“Are you weird? I should be out of town today.” Qiu Shanhua raised his eyes, and the young man in front of him did not show any signs of abnormality. This made the angry look in her eyes disappear slightly, “I called your teacher.”

“Oh.” Ling Qingyuan responded calmly, then raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “Which one?”

“What ‘which one’?” Qiu Shanhua’s original tone of questioning the crime suddenly became a little uncertain.

“You probably called Teacher Qi?” Ling Qingyuan smiled gently and raised his hand to unbutton a shirt: “Can I wash my face and change clothes first? It’s too hot today.”

He’s guess was correct. Qiu Shanhua was naturally calling the teacher who was leading the activity in our school. But hearing his tone, it was obvious that he had called the wrong person. This made the anger in his heart lessened a bit, so he waved his hand and let him go.

After washing his face, while he was still changing clothes in the bedroom, Qiu Shanhua continued to ask questions across the corridor: “Teacher Qi said that you left after the activities, and he did not arrange an interview. Where did you go?”

“Teacher Qi didn’t follow me after today’s event. How did he know if I left?” Ling Qingyuan’s voice rose from the other side of the door: “Another teacher informed me of the interview. The teachers at the conference center said it was an impromptu interview.”

In fact, at the end of the meeting today, the teacher Qi who led the team did take the first step and asked another teacher to arrange their return trip, so there was no way to confirm whether Ling Qingyuan got on the bus. He just seized this opportunity to sneak out. This set of lies is inherently mixed with truth and falsehood, and is even more elusive.

Since he is a teacher at the conference center, there is no way to find him for confirmation.However, in this case, wouldn’t it appear that she was neurotic when she turned down the original banquet and came all the way back to question her son?No matter how much he thought about it, Qiu Shanhua felt that something was wrong. As he stood up and wanted to go find him to ask a few more questions, he saw Ling Qingyuan walking down the stair steps using the handrail.

“What’s wrong with your legs?”

Ling Qingyuan was wearing home clothes of a T-shirt and shorts. There was a faint purple-red bruise above the knee and below the trouser leg. Because he was condescending, the mark happened to jump into Qiu Shanhua’s sight and was discovered by she.

“Huh?” Ling Qingyuan looked down and shrugged with a smile: “I was just walking around and bumping into the table while waiting for the interview. Didn’t I tell you?”

Qiu Shanhua frowned and said worriedly: “Go get the medicine and rub it, why are you so careless?” This happened in the memory, and now Qiu Shanhua had nothing to say, not to mention that the injury was on her son’s body, and the pain was in her mother’s heart. Now she was focused on Ling Qingyuan’s injury. In her heart, her son should be flawless and perfect. Even if it was just a scar on his body, it should not belong to him.

Ling Qingyuan took the initiative to walk up to her at this time: “It’s nothing serious, just a small scratch. By the way, didn’t you want a video of the activity before? I can’t get the video for a while, but here are some photos.” He showed the pictures on his phone to his mother, and after drawing a few pictures, he settled on a photo with a woman in her thirties. Qiu Shanhua felt that the person looked familiar——

“This is the reporter who interviewed me.” Ling Qingyuan glanced at Qiu Shanhua, who was trying to find the female identity in his memory, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, “from the provincial TV station…”

“Oh, yes, that Cui from the “Vision” program is from.”

Seeing the doubts on Qiu Shanhua’s face fade away, Ling Qingyuan, who had achieved his goal, put away his phone: “I’ll send it to you later.”

He remembered a few hours before the event started, when he ended a brief interview with the reporter at the door of the conference hall——

“I’m sorry, I’m a little excited to be interviewed by a provincial TV station for the first time. Can I take a photo with you?” At that time, he was humble and polite, and with such a handsome face that couldn’t find anything wrong, naturally no one would refuse.

Of course, he wasn’t really excited, and he couldn’t predict whether his mother would put down the banquet and rush back. Everything was just a precautionary measure.

Even if my mother really meets this reporter named Cui in the future, it doesn’t matter, because she did interview him.

“Go and do your business first. I’m fine here.” A big stone dropped in his heart. Qiu Shanhua thought of the banquet that he had temporarily abandoned. Some things still had to be dealt with, so he stopped digging into the details.

“Okay.” Ling Qingyuan was gentle and sensible as usual, as if the person who was arguing with his mother on the phone was another person.

he turned around and stepped onto the steps again. The corner of his mouth raised a curve inadvertently, but he suddenly froze at the end of the sentence that came from behind——

“Yuanyuan, no matter what, don’t have any contact with your sister in private. Anyway, she won’t be a member of our family soon.”

Qiu Shanhua stared at his son’s back, still worried.

Ling Qingyuan turned half sideways, stood on the steps and looked down, his tone was a little soft: “Aren’t you from our family?”

“She has been dating Shen Yu for a while. Mr. Shen said that Shen Yu has never been with women for more than a week. It seems that he will treat your sister differently this time. If things go well, they may get engaged in a few months. You know, she is after all…” At this point, Qiu Shanhua’s mouth moved, but he still didn’t say it clearly. “In addition, she has also entered college. No matter what her grades are, she should always be able to get into a school, right? Let her get there early.”It’s okay to leave our house.”

Ling Qingyuan’s hand holding the armrest slowly tightened.

“You may not be able to listen to what mom said today, but you will understand one day. Mom is also doing this for your own good.” Although she tried hard to prevent the two from contacting each other, she still watched helplessly as her excellent son was affected by the emotionless daughter. Their relationship between mother and son was affected, and Qiu Shanhua’s original sense of indebtedness to Ling Sinan was gone.

——How she wants to make trouble is her business, but it must not involve her precious son.

“…for my own good?” There was another faint voice, and Ling Qingyuan raised his chin, “Whose good is it for? Mom, you should know better than me.”

Qiu Shanhua heard the tone that he had become familiar with recently and frowned: “Yuanyuan, you are talking to mom with this attitude again!”

“Then what attitude should I adopt?” He turned around completely and walked down the steps step by step. His high-spirited tone came out word by word with each step: “Yes, okay, you are right, I will… Hearing these words… is very comfortable, isn’t it? It feels very fulfilling to build a doll with your own hands, isn’t it?”

…

…

A brief, fleeting silence.

“Ling…Ling! Qing! Yuan! Why are you talking to me!” Qiu Shanhua was stunned for a moment, almost shocked by the momentum of he, and took half a step back to regain his consciousness. With his almond-shaped eyes widened, she angrily yelled: “——I will give you the best in everything…food, clothing, use, I don’t owe you anything, and you actually…actually…”

Her son is definitely not like this.

Her son has always been well-behaved and smart, top-notch in studies, and well-educated. The important thing is…

Never disobey her.

This is the best result in her life, a result that everyone envies.

The flame was ignited from the depths, fueled, and spread into an inextinguishable mass.

Qiu Shanhua clutched his chest and started breathing rapidly. He was obviously very angry with him.

“Confinement…” She seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly pointed at the small dark room next to the entrance, “You need to reflect…get in.”

It must be that she has indulged him too much recently, it must be that his sister told her something, stop the loss in time, just stop the loss in time…

Ling Qingyuan smiled suddenly.

“You really love me, Mom.” The corner of his mouth curled up, and he slowly passed his mother and walked towards the entrance, “…100,000.”

“What?”

“In this country, 100,000 teenagers die from suicide every year. On average, 2 people succeed in committing suicide and 8 people attempt suicide every minute.” Ling Qingyuan’s voice was calm, like boiled water that has been filtered with impurities, clean and tasteless: “Transcript of today’s speech.”

Qiu Shanhua stared at He’s every move, a tremor of fear welling up from the bottom of his heart.

“Yuan…”

Ling Qingyuan did not leave the entrance, but stood beside the confinement room and took a deep breath.

“Ah, what am I talking about?”

He raised his head, smiled lightly, and cast his eyes lazily towards the confinement room.

Then he suddenly kicked the closed wooden door.

The deafening loud noise scared Qiu Shanhua so much that he almost screamed to the ground.

The door lock was kicked violently, and the door hit the wall with a bang and bounced back.

The broken door hinge caused some distortion in the door’s rotating track, making a creaking sound.

“I probably want to say-”

A pair of eyes raised sharply, showing the fearlessness of breaking through the cage.

“This door.”

“It can’t contain me.”
