Not long ago, Meadow ran away from home. Fortunately, it wasn't like disappearing without a trace, otherwise Paul would have reported the crime directly..
At the beginning, Paul was able to contact Mei Duo, but Mei Duo refused to reveal his location and just said that he needed to be quiet. However, Paul was always worried about Mei Duo's safety outside alone, so he could only kill him in a series of dunks, hoping that Mei Duo would be safe. Duo, come back soon. Everything can be solved in person..
Teenagers and girls in their youthful rebellious period are naturally unwilling to compromise easily, and then Mei Duo simply turned off her mobile phone..
For Paul, worrying about Meadow's safety is the top priority; but in addition, Paul also began to blame himself severely, thinking that he still failed to establish a good communication bridge with Meadow after all, which led to Meadow's death. He ran away from home and took all the responsibility on himself.
The situation of Paul and Meadow is a little special. Now that Meadow is only fifteen years old, she is still a minor. Meadow’s custody belongs to her mother Rebecca, but Rebecca respects Meadow’s He agreed with Paul's sincerity and agreed to move Meadow to Los Angeles..
Regardless of whether something happened to Meadow, if Rebecca learns of this situation, she can completely order Meadow to return to Hawaii, which also means that Paul and Meadow can no longer be together. This is undoubtedly a heavy burden for Paul. Shocked, he even began to doubt himself: Would it be more appropriate for Meadow to stay with her mother?？
In fact, it was only recently that Meadow ran away from home. Paul informed Renly of this matter immediately. On the one hand, he was expecting that Meadow might be willing to answer Renly's call or even contact Renly directly; I am also seeking Renly's opinion, hoping to find a solution..
Paul, who was filming on the set of "Fast and Furious 7", seemed uneasy. Renly could only comfort Paul: rebellious teenagers cannot be predicted or comforted. As a parent, the only thing he can do is to comfort Paul. All I did was wait quietly and pray that everything would settle down..
Paul doesn't know how to be a good father, and neither does Renly.
Starting yesterday, Meadow was officially shut down, and Paul was even more confused. Unexpectedly, less than twenty-four hours later, Meadow would appear in front of Renly..
Therefore, as Renly said, he is on Paul's side, and he has no way to help Meadow conceal his whereabouts. At least, he needs to tell Paul that Meadow is safe and sound..
At this time, Meadow, who was standing next to Renly, had no idea that Paul was suffering. The fifteen-year-old girl was enjoying her own free time..
Although Renly wanted to scold Meadow, but on second thought, what about every teenager in their rebellious period? They fight against everything: against their parents, against society, against life, and even against themselves. If he reprimands Mei Duo now, might Mei Duo disappear again? That would be self-defeating..
As a result, Renly adopted a roundabout and gentle policy. Although he was not a father yet, getting along with his two children recently had helped a lot..
Listening quietly, Mei Duo's eyes could not help but slowly brighten again. Those seemingly simple words were filled with a wantonness and joy of yearning for freedom, and then she couldn't help but start chattering. Share your own experiences and feelings.
In the past few days, Meadow left Los Angeles and came to Calgary, where he began hiking in Banff National Park. He was accompanied by three other friends, all of whom were young people living in Los Angeles. High school students - it is the middle of the semester, but they have escaped the constraints of the classroom and are eager to breathe the free air.
Quietly, under Renly's careful guidance, Meadow poured out all her experiences and stories in the past period, recounting those wonderful life moments with joy, and the ins and outs of everything. Put together.
After everything was said, Meadow realized that she had just confessed all her secrets, and looked at Renly with dumbfounded eyes, "This... you... this..." She couldn't even stutter. Knowing what to do, I stamped my feet with a depressed look on my face, but in the end I still didn’t say anything..
Renly didn't refute or defend. He still looked calm and said seriously, "You know, you can tell Paul these things and he won't object..”
Paul himself is an outdoor sports enthusiast. If Meadow is willing to try, Paul will never stop him. Obviously, Meadow has other reasons for choosing to run away from home..
“I know, I know." Mei Duo said slightly irritably, but she didn't know how to express it. She looked at Renly again, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally said her true feelings, "I know he is working hard, everything It's all good, very good, but sometimes it's just too good. You know, if I really ask, he rarely, if ever, says 'no' and I always get there..”
Renly blinked, and this time it was his turn to be confused, "Isn't... this a good thing?？”
Teenagers just want to be lawless. Parents should not restrict themselves, but they should also be their backing. That is the most beautiful thing in the world..
Meadow was not joking at all, "But I can't breathe! Do you know? He is so good to me, I know, he is trying to make amends, but... I don't need it.”
“He may not be an excellent father, but he is a really good, good friend. I like him, otherwise I would not have convinced my mother to allow me to come to Los Angeles..”
“However, he is really too eager and takes care of my thoughts all the time, which makes me breathless. I hope... I just hope to have some private space, and at the same time, I hope that he can restrain me like a father, Forget it, forget it, I...I don't know what I want, I don't know.”
The amount of information is a bit huge, a bit complicated, and there are also some contradictions. The preface does not match the follow-up, and as he talks, Mei Duo doesn’t know what he is talking about, nor does he know what he wants..
It's always like this when you're young, running aimlessly, hitting yourself and getting bloody. Maybe one day you'll be able to find your pursuit, but maybe you'll never find it. But the meaning of youth is that you at least tried. , at least we have collided with each other. Even if we do not find it, we will not regret it in the future..
Renly glanced at Megan calmly, signaled, and then quietly accompanied Meadow to leave the noisy space; Megan didn't know why at all - she couldn't read minds. , how could he understand everything Renly meant? He could only vaguely understand that Renly and the little girl seemed to have known each other for a long time, and now they needed some space..
Renly and Meadow didn't go far, they just came to the cornfield not far away to ensure a relatively quiet space for conversation, which was enough.
“Meadow, have you tried telling Paul these thoughts? "Renly said softly after pondering for a moment..
Mei Duo doesn't know why.
Renly went on to explain, "I don't know how to be a father, and Paul is trying to learn. Likewise, you don't know what you want, so why not try to communicate.？”
Renly has no say in being a parent. Even after being a parent for two lifetimes, his experience and understanding in this regard are still blank. He cannot give correct instructions, but he has his own understanding..
“Believe me, I understand very well what that kind of suffocating care feels like." Renly thought of Ding Yanan again..
He had to admit that he once hated Ding Yanan because her maternal love made him breathless and almost suffocated; but as time passed, he realized that no one knew how to be a parent, and no one knew how to be a parent. As children, everyone is learning stumbles. Even if they make mistakes, so what, at least they are still working hard..
When he dreamed back at midnight, he also thought, when Chu Jiashu passed away, did Ding Yanan's world collapse? That affection made him feel suffocated, and why didn't it make her give everything she had? The two feelings of love and hurt are always mutual..
“It's because he cares too much that he's at a loss. Paul is still learning." Renly's eyes fell on Meadow, "Why don't you give him a chance to make progress?？”
Mei Duo stood there blankly, without speaking, as if she was lost in her own thoughts..
Regarding the relationship between Paul and Meadow, Renly is not qualified to speak because he is not a party involved and cannot clearly understand all the ins and outs; also because he is not omnipotent. It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, and who can predict the relationship between parents and children? There is only one correct model？
“Meadow. I will tell Paul that you are okay, you are fine. Including everything today, but I will not tell Paul your next whereabouts, because I hope you can tell him yourself. If you are still unwilling for the time being, then At least, you can send him a text message or email to tell him that you are still safe..”
Renly expressed his decision in a deep voice..
“I'm on Paul's side, but I'm also on your side. If you still feel embarrassed, you can come to me at any time. I'm here and I won't leave anywhere..”
Mei Duo raised her head in confusion and looked at Renly, her eyes still full of doubts and confusion. It was obvious that things could not be figured out in a short while, but she finally nodded hesitantly in affirmation, "I understand..”
Slowly, Meadow turned around and took steps, ready to return to the crowd of fans, but she seemed to remember something, turned around again and looked at Renly, and said in a loud voice, "Renly... trouble Please comfort my dad, I didn't mean to hurt him." Inexplicably, Mei Duo's eyes became moist, she turned around quickly and fled the scene in embarrassment..
