NFBE Chapter 127 Past
Chapter 127 Past
Li Jinhe shook his head gently. His family and past were like a heavy mountain weighing on his heart.
For many years, he had no room to breathe, no place to confide.
Even though he thought he had gotten used to this kind of repression, the shadows of the past would still appear in his life from time to time, disrupting the peace he had worked so hard to build.
He was silent for a long time, and finally decided to open his heart to Wei Zhe'an. He carried Wei Zhe'an to the bed, and the two snuggled together, feeling each other's warmth.
Li Jinhe took a deep breath and said, "Do you want to know my past?"
Wei Zhe'an looked up at Li Jinhe, his eyes full of concern and support. He nodded: "I am willing to listen to what you want to say, but don't force yourself. The past is the past, and you have me in the future."
Li Jinhe's eyes were full of gratitude. He kissed Wei Zhe'an's forehead gently, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
At this moment, he decided to tell Wei Zhe'an about his past, family, childhood and relationship with his mother without reservation.
He longed to let Wei Zhe'an understand him better, and he also hoped that by sharing these experiences, he could find a way to release himself and feel a little more relaxed.
The two of them leaned quietly against the head of the bed, and Li Jinhe began to tell his story.
His voice was like the slight ripples on a calm lake, rippling gently, yet with a heavy texture, and carrying the wisdom and calmness that had come from the years.
Every word seems to flow out slowly from the depths of the heart, carrying with it a touch of emotion and remembrance, making people think of the past events buried by time.
The sound was like the afterglow at dusk, warm and soft, yet revealing an unspeakable desolation; it was also like the stars in the deep night, twinkling with faint light, giving people endless reverie.
Listening to his narration, it feels as if you are in a distant time and space, witnessing a series of strange and mysterious stories quietly unfolding.
Wei Zhean listened attentively. Every time he heard about Li Jinhe experiencing pain and frustration, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.
Li Jinhe, who is so gentle and excellent, actually experienced so many hardships during his growth.
Wei Zhe'an's heart was filled with regrets. He regretted not meeting Li Jinhe earlier. If they could have grown up together, perhaps Li Jinhe would not have faced the world so alone.
Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but become moist. He buried his face in Li Jinhe's arms, and tears quietly rolled down his cheeks.
Li Jinhe felt the change in Wei Zhe'an's mood. He hugged Wei Zhe'an gently and felt the moist touch on his collarbone.
He gently rubbed the back of Wei Zhe'an's neck and whispered to him in comfort: "Like you said, the past is the past. It feels much better now that you've talked about it."
Wei Zhe'an choked up and responded: "They treat you badly, so you don't want them anymore. I will love you in the future, and you will get better and better. They will regret it one day."
His words were full of determination and persistence, and he gritted his teeth and sounded like he hated Li Jinhe's family. No, they were not Li Jinhe's family.
Listening to Wei Zhe'an's words, a hint of tenderness flashed in Li Jinhe's eyes.
He felt a warm current surge in his heart, as if all the suffering became insignificant at this moment.
If the previous misfortunes were really due to meeting Wei Zhe'an, then he felt that it was all worth it.
He even felt a little fortunate, fortunate that he had gone through all those hardships to meet this person who was so warm and loved him so much.
Li Jinhe gently stroked Wei Zhe'an's back and whispered in his ear: "Don't cry, baby. I have my own life now. With you, they won't hurt me anymore."
Wei Zhe'an raised his head, his eyes flashing with determination, and said with a hint of hatred: "They'd better not come to you again, I will beat them every time they come!"
Li Jinhe chuckled, hugged Wei Zhe'an again, and promised softly: "Okay, I won't let them come to me again."
However, after the laughter, Li Jinhe's emotions calmed down again.
He stroked Wei Zhe'an's back unconsciously, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
He thought of what Zhou Xingshuo had said in the hotel before, and couldn't help feeling worried.
No matter how outstanding he is, he is just an ordinary person, and his small company is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Li Group.
He knew that he was not yet able to compete with Mr. Li, so how could he get rid of this behemoth?
After Wei Zhe'an calmed down in his arms, he noticed that Li Jinhe had not spoken for a while. He looked up at Li Jinhe and saw a hint of heaviness in his eyes.
"elder brother?"
Li Jinhe put on a smile again as if waking up from a dream, trying to hide his worries: "Well, I'm here, why are you looking at me like that?"
But Wei Zhe'an stared into his eyes and saw the heaviness in his heart. He asked bluntly: "I want to ask you, what's wrong?"
Li Jinhe hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell Wei Zhe'an about his concerns.
Since they have decided to live together, this thing is bound to happen sooner or later and cannot be concealed at all.
Moreover, he didn't want to hide anything from Wei Zhe'an in the future and was willing to let him know everything about him.
Although he had prepared himself mentally, he still found it difficult to talk about this thing that had not happened yet and for which there was currently no solution.
"I..." He looked at Wei Zhe'an. Wei Zhe'an frowned slightly, and his clear eyes were full of worry about him. His heart softened and he told him the story.
"Do you still remember Zhou Xingshuo?" Li Jinhe asked.
"Of course I remember. He helped us in the hotel last time. He is a nice guy." Wei Zhe'an replied. Recalling Zhou Xingshuo's image, he felt that he was a trustworthy person.
Li Jinhe adjusted their positions so that Wei Zhe'an could snuggle more comfortably in his arms, and then began to talk about his relationship with Zhou Xingshuo.
"Zhou Xingshuo is actually my childhood friend. Although we didn't grow up together, we have known each other since we were young. The children in our business circle all had their families cling to the Li Group to do business. My father is the one in charge of the Li Group, so in order to curry favor with my father, the adults let their children play with me."
Li Jinhe said this with a bitter smile on his face: "Zhou Xingshuo is one of them. They are all very nice to me. At least I am happy when I am with them."
He paused and continued, "Afterwards, I was taken away by my grandfather and I stopped playing with them. But after so many years, even though I have left the Li family, they still treat me as a friend, and they have helped me a lot in starting my own business."
Wei Zhe'an listened with his eyes lowered. Although he was holding Li Jinhe's fingers, his mind was on what Li Jinhe said.
Li Jinhe took a deep breath and continued, "Last time Zhou Xingshuo told me that the current heir of the Li family is not very capable, and my father's health is not very good. My grandfather has been away from the world for a long time, but he came out of retirement some time ago and took power again."
His eyes were somewhat vacant, with a trace of worry in them. "They are worried that my grandfather will force me to go back and inherit the Li Group. You know, he trained me just to have a qualified successor..."
