Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Inside the private room of the winter melon soup restaurant, the environment was quite elegant and had a vintage aesthetic.
Qin Yi ordered two bottles of soju wine and placed them in the hot water on the side to warm them up a little. It was quite nice to drink some of this in this weather, it makes one feel comfortable. Qin Yi could be considered a wine lover, usually when he was free, he would drink some wine with a few old cadres.
Although Qin Su did not often go home for dinner and the relationship at home was not harmonious, the relationship between them was still okay. Just like now, Qin Yi often asked his daughter out to drink with him.
After ordering a few good dishes that the father and daughter liked, the waiter came over to help put the dishes into the pot and went out. Suddenly, only the father and daughter were left in the private room.
Qin Su took the wine and poured a glass for Qin Yi. Then, she poured half a glass for herself. She moved the glass to Qin Yi and said, “I’ll drive later, I’ll drink less. You should drink less too.”
“It’s okay. You know your father’s alcohol tolerance best. I won’t get drunk on just a few glasses. Just ask Xiao Meng to come over and fetch me later. Let’s eat what we should eat and drink what we should drink. Come, drink some too. Let’s order some red wine. Didn’t your mother say that drinking wine is good for your appearance?”
As Qin Yi said this, he was about to call the waiter in, but Qin Su stopped him. “No need, Father. Just drink this. If you want to drink, just drink. I’ll accompany you.”
At this moment, Qin Yi nodded and said with some relief, “It’s at this time that my daughter is the kindest. Come, drink some!”
Qin Yi raised his glass, and Qin Su also raised her glass obediently to toast him. The father and daughter both took a simple sip and then picked up some side dishes to eat.
“Father, you have been arguing with Mother for so many years. When will you stop? Don’t you feel tired?”
After drinking a glass of wine, Qin Su suddenly asked her father.
Qin Yi’s hand stopped moving. He squinted at Qin Su from the corner of his eyes. In the blink of an eye, he retracted his gaze and took a sip of wine, “Between you and your mother, that is a difference in wavelength of thoughts. I’m afraid there is no way to reverse it in this lifetime. She has some issues, she has no expectations for herself but have such high expectations for me. She complains about me for not being good here or there. Sometimes, I really don’t want to go home, even the office or the dormitory would feel more peaceful.”
As Qin Yi said this, he naturally felt a little helpless. However, at the moment, he did not seem to be able to do anything about it. After all, Mei Xiaoyue was his wife, but…
“I feel that there’s a lack of communication between you and Mother. It’s obviously a very simple matter. It’s fine as long as you explain it clearly to each other. However, the two of you are suspicious of each other and neither of you are willing to explain. That’s why the misunderstanding between the two of you is getting worse and harsher.”
Qin Su could not help but sigh when she said this. She frowned slightly, drank up the wine in her glass, and sighed, “At home, since I was young, you’ve always had fights every other day. Aren’t you guys tired of it? Even I’m sick of hearing it. If you two really feel incompatible, it’s better to let go of each other.”
“This thought of yours isn’t good, you’re always bringing up divorce. What do you mean by incompatible? Not every marriage has to be compatible. Do you all treat marriage as child’s play? If it’s not a matter of principle, you can’t have such thoughts. Once such a decision is made, it will determine your whole life. Your mother isn’t that bad. It’s our fault for not truly understanding each other back then.”
Qin Yi also let out a long sigh. He frowned and drank up the wine in his glass, “I don’t regret marrying your mother. The reason why we have such a relationship today is because I have a problem too. Back then, I swore to your grandfather that I would protect your mother and let her live a good life.”
“You didn’t do anything wrong Mother. Other than the lack of communication between the two of you emotionally… I often wonder if there was ever love between the two of you, but it seems that…”
“How come there was no love at all? Your Mother was very beautiful back then. Men would stare at her with their eyes wide open. I liked to see your Mother back then too. Every time I led the team past their arts and crafts group, I always had to stay a little longer. It was fine if I saw her, but if I didn’t see her, I would feel regretful for the whole day.”
When Qin Yi spoke about this, he seemed to reminisce those moments. Now that he mentioned it, he could not help but feel emotional.
“I was worried that you two were just acting on impulse. You and Mother were both unusually lucky back then, and the two of you became tied to each other forever, Father, you’re only in your fifties. There are still many decades ahead of you. Your days with Mother are only half over. You still have a long life ahead…”
As Qin Su spoke, she stopped what she was doing.
Qin Yi paused and looked at Qin Su. “Does the matter between your mother and I trouble you?” Qin Yi asked.
Qin Su also paused and could not calm down. After a long while, she replied, “No…”
“You don’t have to hide it from me. I can feel it. You’re also worried that if you don’t have any feelings, you’ll have the same unhappiness as your mother and I, right?”
Qin Yi said it himself. Seeing that Qin Su did not reply, he continued, “Actually, you don’t have to worry about your mother and I. Whether it’s marriage or feelings, they all need to be managed. The quality of a marriage, to a large extent, depends on you. You’ve seen the unhappy situations of many comrades in the military district. However, you can’t deny that some comrades’ relationships are very enviable. There are always two sides to everything. You don’t have to think too much about it. Letting nature take its course is the best way.”
As Qin Yi spoke, he poured Qin Su a glass of wine, “Actually, I’ve thought about it for a while. Zhou Zimo is pretty good. It’s mainly because he’s attentive to you and is quite accommodating to you. It’s really not easy for him to be able to do this at his level. As for you, don’t be too stingy. You should give him a little response and also express a little at him. Otherwise, many beautiful marriages are ruined exactly by such cold and indifferent attitudes.”
Qin Yi’s words made Qin Su fall into a trance. After thinking for a while, Qin Su took a deep breath, frowned, and drank up the wine in her glass, “I know he’s very good, but I’m worried that I don’t like him that much. And once I make do with him, I’ll… Father, you know, when it comes to relationships, I’m more afraid of investing than anything else. In the past, I didn’t get pets because I was afraid that when they left, I would be too sad… So, I always feel that it’s better for some things not to happen. That way, I can control my emotions…”
Qin Su was like that, she never had any sense of security, and did not expect to get the so-called sense of security from others either.
