After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life-Chapter 875 - 864: Comfort from a Tough Dad

"That’s right, I’m jealous, jealous of that unborn brother or sister."

Du Zizun sat on the bench in the dressing room, arms resting on his knees, hands clasped, head hanging down, his eyes on the floor, "I’ve been waiting for you to come back and get me since I was a kid. To wait for this day, I’ve endured a lot, always hoping to be a son who doesn’t cause you any trouble."

"So, I studied hard. When someone bullied me, I endured it at first, and when I couldn’t take it anymore, I fought back," as if recalling past events, Du Zizun smiled slightly, "Later, I worried they might tell the teachers or parents, so I threatened them if they dared to tell, I’d hit them every time I saw them. Like that, I inexplicably became someone at school no one dared to bully."

"Now, I can finally go home, but then you tell me Mom is pregnant, and I’m going to have a brother or sister."

Du Zizun looked at Du Han with reddened eyes, "You say, after enduring so much to come back to you, how can you happily tell me that in the near future, in ten months, a baby will arrive?"

"Every time I think about how he will stay by your side, sheltered and protected, I get angry; every time I think about him sleeping safely in your arms, babbling, I get jealous; every time I think about you rushing to him when he cries, surrounding him, comforting him, I feel aggrieved."

Du Zizun laughed self-deprecatingly, "I know it’s embarrassing for someone my age to be jealous of a baby who’s not even born, but I can’t help it. I’m jealous of him because soon there’s going to be someone sharing my mom and dad, and yet... I’ve never been held by them, comforted by them..."

Du Zizun’s words didn’t have much fluctuation, as if he was just narrating a simple story, but the choking and bitterness in his words made Du Han fall silent.

A man hardened by experiencing life and death, a man who didn’t shed a tear even when injured on the battlefield facing mortal threats, now faced his son with reddened eyes.

Bending down, Du Han hugged Du Zizun tightly, his voice hoarse, "I’m sorry, Zizun, it’s Dad’s fault for not considering you properly."

Du Zizun didn’t speak, just buried his head in Du Han’s arms, clenching his teeth and shedding tears.

Gently stroking Du Zizun’s head, Du Han slowly said, "Zizun, Dad... to be honest, has always been an irresponsible dad, a novice dad extremely unprepared."

"Even now, I’m nervous. I’m very worried about whether after the second one is born, I will be able to provide a good life for him," Du Han paused, "Most importantly, whether I can make up for all the years of love I’ve missed giving to my son, little by little."

"Maybe saying these things is very irresponsible," Du Han chuckled, "To be honest, both of your arrivals were a surprise and a bit of a shock to me. I wasn’t ready to step into the role of a father, your arrivals forced me to do it whether I was ready or not."

"Thankfully," Du Han held Du Zizun tightly, laughing, "my son caused his old man to deal with his emotions. My son’s jealous; why am I as happy as a fool now?"

Listening to Du Han’s words, Du Zizun couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He didn’t lift his head, just laughed and cried at the same time. After a long while, he muffledly said, "Hey, old man, let’s let this pass today, and Mom can’t know about this conversation!"

Du Han was puzzled, "Why not."

Du Zizun covered his forehead with his hand, "Too embarrassing."

"For a grown man to be crying and fussing here is really shameful. How can you talk about it in front of a woman!"

Du Han, hearing this, smiled slightly, and comfortingly patted Du Zizun’s shoulder, "Son, you got it wrong. First, you’re still a virgin, so you don’t count as a ’big man.’ Most importantly, the woman you’re referring to is your old man’s woman, so watch how you address her."

Du Zizun: ...

Via the information from 007 about Du Zizun and Du Han, Bi Xia nodded with satisfaction, opened the car door, and stood beneath the towering office building of Zheng’s Silk Company. She looked at the three people beside her, her starry eyes taking them in, and after a moment, her red lips curved, "Let’s go."
