Chapter 376 Embarrassed Uesugoshi (Two-in-One, Please Subscribe!!!)
"I understand how you feel...I'm not pretending, I'm serious, I really understand!"
Uesugi nodded frequently, not to mention how sincere his tone was. It was obvious that he had deep feelings for Minamoto's words. He really understood... Just by the way he nodded, his head twitched. It was like a pile driver, and the frequency was so fast that it really made people worry whether the old man would give himself a cerebral hemorrhage...or just blow his head off.
Of course, Uesugoshi was deeply touched by Minamoto's words, because when he was young, he had a very similar experience to the young man in front of him.
It seems that this young man plays a role similar to the mainstay in his family. He now looks tired and scarred. Not only the scars on the body, but also the scars spread throughout his soul. It seems that the burden of the family is weighing on him. He was suffocated... Wasn't it the case when Uesugoshi was young? Uesugoshi looked at this young man's dark and frustrated eyes, which were exactly the same as his young self!
It seemed that they were all burdened by their families and deceived by their families. Finally, when they learned the truth, they were almost on the verge of collapse and could only flee in a hurry.
Go ahead. It's just that Uesugoshi managed to escape in the end, but the young man in front of him couldn't escape very far. He only ran to his ramen stall and stopped. Or maybe he didn't intend to escape at all, but just wanted to find a place to take a breath. After taking a breather, he returned to the family and continued to carry the mountain-like burden on his shoulders. He didn't know how long or how long he would hold on, so he looked so hesitant and tired at the moment.
However, while Uesugoshi sympathized with the young man's situation and felt the same, he also felt lucky for the young man, because this young man was different from himself... When he was most confused and helpless, Uesugoshi endured the pain alone. Deceived by his family and humiliated by outsiders, Uesugi was alone at that time. No one could save him. His world was dark. He could not bear such a huge blow and ran away. He wanted to escape everything, including this A deformed world... This escape lasted for sixty-two years.
But now this young man has met himself and a victim who has had the same experiences and encounters as him. Although he looks exhausted, he at least seems to be more responsible than himself. Even though he is so tired, he has never thought about it. To give up everything and run away, it seems that the darkness he suffered has not completely blinded his eyes... Uesugi Yue doesn't know where this young man came from, but now that he has come to his ramen stall and met himself, this is As fate would have it, Uesugoshi could at least comfort him and try to guide the way forward for the lost young man.
"Do you love your family deeply?" Uesugi suddenly asked the young man.
Yuan Zhisheng was stunned by this question. After thinking for a moment, he said what was in his heart: "Actually, it's not about love or not... It's just that such a huge family, after living in it for so long, after all, There will be a few restless people, and until I get them settled, I would have a bad conscience if I ran away on my own."
"Although they are not fools who can't live without me, if one day I really want to leave the family, they will definitely follow me like brown sugar, and I can't get rid of them... They are such people, and I understand them ." Yuan Zhisheng whispered, "But my act of leaving the family was an escape, and I will spend the rest of my life in shame. If I were to bear these shames alone, I would only live a little more tired at most, but If those guys run away with me, I will feel guilty, and this self-blame will make me breathless."
Someone has said that how much you love this world depends on how deeply you love the most important people in your life.
When Minamoto was saying these words, the figures of Yaksha, Crow, Sakura and Eriki flashed across his mind unconsciously, even though he said that those people were not the ones he couldn't live without. Idiot, but Yuan Zhisheng is their elder brother and eldest, and he is a spine-like figure. Deep in his heart, he feels that those few people without him are like people who have had their spines taken away. How can people survive? If he left those people behind and ran away, it would be equivalent to leaving behind his entire life in the years he had known them.
"What else? It's not just because of these, right?" Uesugoshi stared at Minamoto Chisheng with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through his heart, "If you have no other worries except those people you care about, you can take it with you You don't need to feel any shame or guilt about them leaving the family."
"But you blame yourself. You don't look like a man with such inflated ambitions and desires. Your self-blame should come from some sense of responsibility." Uesugi Koshi paused, "Maybe it's for the family, maybe it's For the man who was once like your father, maybe you have made some irreparable mistake. This mistake is like an invisible cage and shackles, imprisoning you... You may not believe it when you are young. I've been through a similar experience, almost exactly like you, so I know how it feels."
"Yes... you are absolutely right." Yuan Zhisheng took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He was now more convinced that the old man in front of him was the one who served as the head of the Sheqiba family more than sixty years ago. The man named "Uesugoshi" is his father.
"I have no ambitions or desires. My biggest dream in life is to sell sunscreen on nudist beaches in France. This is my only wish." Yuan Zhisheng said frankly to his father who did not know his identity, "I have no ambitions." People should not sit on the chair of the superior. People without desire cannot control such a huge family. I can be a thug or a murderous knife, but I am not suitable to be a manager at all. But...but there are so many people in the family who need me, and sitting in that position is my innate mission and an inescapable fate. This is what the man told me."
This time it was Minamoto's turn to pour out his heart, but it was Uesugi Yue who suddenly froze when he heard a certain word in this young man's words.
Naturist Beach?
What nudist beach?
French nudist beaches?
This young man seemed to say...that selling sunscreen lotion on a nudist beach in France is his biggest wish in life?
But why does this wish sound strangely familiar? It seems like someone mentioned the exact same words to me not long ago?
However, Yuan Zhisheng did not notice the change in Uesugoshi's expression. He lowered his head and continued to talk to himself.
"Although I know that man deceived me and everyone in the family, and the rest of the family is innocent, I am the only one in the family who knows the truth." Yuan Zhisheng shook his head gently, "This feeling makes me I have nowhere to escape, and when I can do something for my family but choose to do nothing and just want to escape from everything, I will feel that all the family's disasters in the future are related to me."
"If I escape at this time, it will be equivalent to pushing the family into the abyss with my own hands. A lot of people will bleed, and every clan member who dies in the future will become my sin." Yuan Zhisheng said hoarsely, " So many names are weighing on my head, which is a weight that I cannot bear in my life." After saying these words, Yuan Zhisheng coughed with a pale face.
Even the royal blood couldn't dispel the fatigue and sleepiness. He was already very tired, and now he was trying hard not to rest. He was already seriously injured and was exposed to heavy rain, which made his condition look even more haggard.
Uesugoshi still hadn't recovered from his thoughts. There was a vague guess in his mind, so he looked at the young man in front of him from all angles calmly who came to his ramen stall "by chance". At the same time, Uesugoshi was still recalling what Lu Mingfei and this young man had said in his mind to confirm whether his guess was correct or not.
However, the more Uesugi recalled, the more he felt that his guess was probably true.
A rich young man from a huge family... Isn't the Snakekihachi family the largest family in Japan?
He is young and holds a high position in the family... Lu Mingfei told Uesugi Koshi that his son Yuan Zhisheng is now the head of the Snake Qihachi family. Is there anyone with a higher position than the head of the family in the entire family?
Knowing that he had been deceived by a man who was like a father... doesn't this coincide with what Lu Mingfei said when he told Yuan Zhisheng the truth about being deceived by Tachibana Masamune?
There is also a wish to go to a nudist beach in France to sell sunscreen... In modern society where the soul of the soul is generally awakened among young people in Japan, young people from the University of Tokyo who patronize Uesugoshi Ramen stalls basically have the same wish. In a few words, we either want to change this wrong world or destroy this wrong world. It seems that they are unable to enter higher education or pursue graduate school or catch up with the two-dimensional girls in the club because the existence of this world itself is a mistake... …How many young people now have such a trivial and hopeless dream of selling suntan lotion on a nudist beach in France?
A man who can have such a wish... must be a descendant of the Uesugi family!
The more Uesugi looked at this young man, the more he felt that this might be his son... This was probably his son!
Although the child was seriously injured and had just been caught in a heavy rain and looked sick, through the pale face, you could still vaguely see the young man's delicate and handsome eyebrows and the high bridge of his nose. , that knife-like eyebrow peak, that melancholy temperament that never fades despite the rain... At first glance, he is the type to please girls! At first glance, it was his Uesugoshi's child!
So when I had decided to close the business and no longer entertain any customers, this young man suddenly broke into my ramen stall. My first reaction was to drive away this stranger, but after seeing The moment he saw the haggard and distressed look on his face, his heart softened... Yes, it must be like this. Which father in the world would be moved after seeing his child in distress and misery? Will you not be soft-hearted?
So when this young man expressed his heartfelt feelings and sufferings to me, I listened extremely seriously and couldn't bear to interrupt him. Uesugoshi even lamented that this young man was so destined to me. The two of them had almost the same fate. When I feel the confusion and helplessness of this young man, I can't help but want to guide him and comfort him... Yes, it must be like this. Is there any father in the world who doesn't want to do something for him when he sees his child hesitating and helpless? How about clearing the darkness and fog in front of you?
Uesugi recalled what the young man had said to him. He was basically convinced that the young man in front of him was his son Minamoto. Then Uesugi recalled what he had said to his son.
I didn't seem to have said a few words to each other in total. It seemed that Minamoto was talking more about the conversation between the two, and most of the conversation was being narrated. Uesugi then asked a few questions and criticized Uesugi at every opportunity. For a moment, the words spoken by the man whom Minamoto once regarded as his father were too old-fashioned, as if they were spoken by an old man from the 30s of the Showa era... When Uesugi recalled this, he couldn't help but secretly feel happy. For a moment, no wonder I subconsciously had a bad feeling about these words. What wise words could that old guy who played tricks and deceived his son into recognizing a thief as his father say?
Uesugoshi continued to reminisce, and the memory he had going forward was probably when Minamoto had first come to the ramen stall, Uesugoshi had a bit of a bad attitude towards him... This was understandable, after all, he didn't know this at that time. His son, the next thing he saw was the sad and miserable look on this boy's face, and he decided that the other person was heartbroken by a woman, and patted the other person on the shoulder and asked if the other person was broken up in love...
Uesugoshi suddenly stopped.
Have you ever said...such embarrassing words?
It seemed like he actually said it himself.
So asking the son he met for the first time if he was dumped by a woman...is this really what a father should do?
Uesugoshi vaguely remembered how confident he was when he said these words. He seemed to have asked Minamoto whether he came because of his reputation. He also said that Yuan Zhisheng must have been heartbroken and depressed to the point of self-harm? He seemed to have asked Yuan Zhisheng to open up his scarred heart to him and tell him that he was a professional?
He seemed to be secretly swearing in his heart that if this young man hadn't been broken up in love, he could have swallowed the ramen noodles and the bamboo chopsticks alive?
Have you ever had such an outrageous thought? Uesugi wanted to go back ten minutes and pry his head open to see if it was filled with ramen soup!
Uesugoshi turned his head and looked at the bamboo fence and long bamboo chopsticks placed beside the soup pot. He swallowed and couldn't help feeling frightened.
If he really swallowed these things, he would probably have to spend the next week in the hospital, right? Maybe it will make the headlines in Tokyo tomorrow - "A young yakuza parent visited a ramen stall late at night, causing the ramen chef to swallow the ramen and bamboo chopsticks alive... Is all this a lack of humanity or a loss of morality?"
