Chapter 124: Funny and Sad
Shen Yunyan looked at the abundant food before him, much of it new to him. His eyes widened in surprise, examining it with curiosity. The beautifully shaped pastries exuded an alluring aroma, while the vibrantly colored fruits were neatly arranged.
He couldn't help but sigh: "I never thought that a family could have such a warm moment." His eyes moved across everyone's faces. Liang Junze was talking to Lin Yuxuan with a smile, and Gu Qingyan was carefully picking up food for the people around him.
A warm feeling welled up in Shen Yunyan's heart. This happy family was completely different from what he had imagined. He had once believed that a family headed by a woman would be full of quarrels and oppression, but the scene before him was one of harmony and happiness, filled with love and respect.
He picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth. The sweet taste instantly spread on his tongue. "It's delicious." A satisfied smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
Everyone nodded, their hearts filled with happiness. Under the moonlight, the family's laughter and joy echoed in the courtyard, warm and beautiful.
However, even a peaceful life could occasionally be disturbed. One day, rumors spread from outside the mansion about women being superior to men, which stirred Shen Yunyan's heart again. He frowned and fell into deep thought.
Those harsh words kept echoing in his mind. "Women should suppress men, this is the right way!" "What status do men have in the family?" He couldn't help but recall his painful experiences, and a hint of uneasiness and worry rose in his heart.
But this time he was no longer as extreme as before, but instead discussed with everyone and thought about how to deal with it. Everyone sat together, the atmosphere was a little solemn.
"We can't be swayed by these remarks and must stick to our own way of life." Su Yue's words strengthened Shen Yunyan's conviction.
He raised his head, looked at everyone with a firm gaze, and said, "Yes, we cannot be disturbed by the outside voices. Our family is the best proof." Everyone nodded, their eyes full of determination.
Liang Junze went on to say: "We should use our own actions to let more people understand that only by respecting each other can we have a truly happy life." Everyone expressed their agreement.
Since then, they have become more united and used practical actions to show the outside world this unique yet warm family.
That day, the family gathered together for dinner, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy. Lin Yuxuan suddenly put down his chopsticks, looked at Shen Yunyan with a smile, and said, "Shen Yunyan, when you first came to our house, you were like a hedgehog with thorns all over your body, stabbing anyone who came close! Every time I wanted to get close to you,
"Your eyes are like I'm trying to steal your treasure, as if you want to cut me into pieces with your eyes! When I talk to you, you either ignore me or scold me, which makes me wonder if I have offended you in some way, whether I have stolen the meat in your bowl or stepped on your tail? Haha!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing after hearing what Lin Yuxuan said. Lin Yuxuan continued, "Once, I was kind enough to give you some fruit, but you rolled your eyes at me and said, 'Who wants your things? Stop being so hypocritical.'
Oh, my heart was so cold at that time, it felt colder than falling into an ice hole in the middle of winter! I was thinking, who on earth is this Shen Yunyan, and why is he so difficult to please? I, Lin Yuxuan, have never encountered such a setback in front of anyone in my life!
Shen Yunyan felt a little embarrassed by what he said, and blushed as he retorted, "You are just talking nonsense!"
Lin Yuxuan was relentless: "I'm not talking nonsense! Another time, I told you there was something interesting happening outside, and you just said 'It's none of my business'. Isn't that infuriating?
I wanted to crack your head open to see what was inside. Why are you so unreasonable? But now you have become much more thorny. It seems that the warmth of our family has finally softened you, this hedgehog!
Everyone laughed even louder, and Shen Yunyan also laughed helplessly. The dinner table was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
As soon as Lin Yuxuan finished speaking, Gu Qingyan also smiled and continued, "That's right, Shen Yunyan looked so aloof at first, I thought he was going to establish himself as the king of this mansion!
I was just trying to give him some good advice, but he blew up like a firecracker, and acted so aggressively, as if I were his mortal enemy."
Mu Feng covered his mouth and chuckled softly: "I remember one time I made him a new dress and wanted him to try it on to see if it fit. He glared at me and said, 'I don't care.' Oh, I was so wronged at that time."
Liang Junze also joined in the fun: "I once tried to discuss poetry with him, hoping to deepen our relationship, but he looked impatient and said, 'What's the point of these romantic things?' It really frustrated me."
Su Yue looked at Shen Yunyan with a smile in her eyes: "Stop teasing him. But Yunyan, you really gave me a headache when you first came."
Shen Yunyan's face flushed red as he stiffened his neck and said, "Humph, that's all because of you..." Before he could finish his words, he couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, alright, I was wrong back then, alright."
Everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere, and Shen Yunyan drank too much without realizing it.
His eyes were blurred, his steps staggered, and he staggered to Liang Junze's side, and suddenly rushed over to hug him. Liang Junze was startled by this sudden action, and before he could react, he felt Shen Yunyan's body trembling slightly.
Shen Yunyan began to confide in tears: "Brother Aze, you don't know how hard my childhood was! My mother was simply a demon!
She beat and scolded me and my father every day. The slightest thing that went wrong would turn the house into a battlefield. My father was bullied by her so badly that he couldn't even raise his head, and I was beaten a lot too." When she got excited, her nose and tears started to flow, rubbing against Liang Junze's clothes.
"Once, because I accidentally broke a bowl, she chased me around the yard with a rolling pin and broke my arm."
Shen Yunyan sobbed as she spoke, her voice choking. "Also, I see my neighbor's friends all have their mothers' love and care, while I only get endless beatings and scoldings. I'm so envious, but what can I do?"
"From that time on, I hated women. I thought they were all cruel and heartless." Shen Yunyan cried bitterly, her speech becoming incoherent. "I thought I would live my whole life in fear and disgust of women, but I didn't expect to meet you."
Liang Junze patted Shen Yunyan on the back, trying to comfort him: "Yunyan, it's all over. We are a family now." But Shen Yunyan couldn't stop at all.
"I thought I could always be hard-hearted, but you've been so good to me, so good that sometimes it feels unreal." Shen Yunyan cried even louder, hiccups forming. The people around her found this scene both amusing and heartbreaking.
"I, Shen Yunyan, what have I done to deserve this!" He hugged Liang Junze tightly, as if he had grabbed the last straw. This scene added a different kind of warmth to the originally joyful banquet.
