Chapter 8 Lost Lifeline No.1

Qi Shaoyao and I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to officially go through the divorce procedures. It's funny that he can give up custody of Xinxin, but insists that I promise that if he dies, I will accept his entire inheritance!

"You'd better die sooner!" I said to him after taking the little blue-covered notebook.

A look of hurt flashed in his eyes: "If you really think so......"

Looking at his gloomy face, I couldn't tell what it was, and there was a vague bitterness that slipped through my heart, but he stubbornly duplicity: "Do you know why I don't want those compensations? Because it's too little! Or just give it all to me, and you want me to wait until you die, it's insincere!"

After saying that, he didn't forget to throw him a slap in the eye, he actually laughed, touched his nose and lowered his head, and even with a smile in his voice: "Okay, I'll try to die as soon as possible......"

I was so choked by him that I couldn't say anything, and stared at him for a long time: "Is it fun?" Did he think I was joking, or was he playing with me all the time? "I'll see if you die now!"

"Alright," he looked up again, diverting the subject, "Do you want to pick up Xinxin today?"

"Nonsense!" I was not angry: "It's disgusting to stay with someone like you for a second longer! I'm going to go home and bathe her all over her body!"

"And you're going to take my car back?" he gestured to the car he parked in the doorway.

"No trouble!" Gao Tengyue had been waiting for me outside, when he got out of the car, I pointed at him: "Someone will take me to, you, home!

I walked up to Gao Tengyue without looking back, grabbed his arm as if intimately, stood on tiptoe, and put my lips close to him: "Let's go pick up Xinxin......"

Gao Tengyue, who was originally staring at Qi Shaoyao's face vigilantly, suddenly smiled, and put me closer: "Is it fun?" This is what I just gave to Qi Shaoyao, and it was actually returned by Gao Tengyue intact! He raised his eyes and glanced at Qi Shaoyao again: "Wow! His face is black!"

"I don't believe it. "Does Qi Shaoyao care?

"That's good......" he put his hands on my shoulders and pulled him in, holding him at his side, "let's continue to play with him!"

He put his arm around me and got into the car, and Qi Shaoyao followed behind.

"Why did he keep following?" I said, glancing in my rearview mirror.

"This is the way to his house. Gao Tengyue smiled narrowly.

"Hurry up and get rid of him!" I urged.

He shrugged, kicked off the gas, drove up to 180 yards, and the car sped down the mountain road. And Qi Shaoyao even followed, always keeping a distance of 20 meters from us!

"It's useless!" I muttered, it felt so bad to be stared at by Qi Shaoyao!

Gao Tengyue shrugged again: "You don't look at my sedan, his is a sports car, and his fast driving skills are at the level of a racing driver, it's not my fault that I can't get rid of him, right?"

"Forget it!" I waved my hand, closed my eyes and pretended to sleep, "I don't think he exists!"

"Okay, you can rest first......" He gently pinned my hair to the back of my head, and I still kept my eyes closed, ignoring the commotion caused by his fingers on my face. He gently brushed the side of my face and sighed, a flash of wistle in his eyes.

He also said that he would forget him, and he would be restless after only a while! This kind of forgetting buried him in the deepest place in my heart, which was a place that I would not be able to reach even if one day someone re-inhabited my heart.

That softest corner, Gao Tengyue knew, he couldn't touch.

The car stopped at the gate of Qi's house, and Gao Tengyue shook me: "Wake up, it's here!"

"Oh. "I rubbed my eyes, I actually fell asleep!

He smiled again, that smile was like spring breeze and rain, warm, and made my heart palpitate! His hand matched his smile, and the slightly hot palm patted my face: "I will take Xinxin home, you go to bed early, and tomorrow I will get you some delicious food to recuperate, you are too tired these days......

As he spoke, the heat squirted onto my face, damp my hair and brushed my cheeks. I looked at him in amazement, into his eyes, with tenderness and distress written in his eyes. The scene where he proposed to me in the office suddenly flashed from his mind, it turned out that he had never given up, but my mind was occupied by Qi Shaoyao, so I would ignore him!

I shook my head, I just ended a relationship, I don't want to accept another person so quickly, maybe, there will be no one who can impress me again in this life!

I turned my body to the side lightly, and opened the door and got out of the car: "You are also busy with work, so I'm sorry to bother you these days...... I bought my plane ticket for tomorrow and I'm going home, back to my mom. "Maybe I'll never come back, leaving G-City, leaving this place where I have my glory and dreams, but also my sadness and loss.

Qi Shaoyao happened to walk next to me, and when he heard that I was going home, he suddenly raised his head, wanted to say something, and swallowed it back. When he spoke again, he said, "Go in, I've already asked the maid to take care of Xinxin's luggage." ”

I ignored him and walked straight into the house.

"Yo! are you back?" the sister-in-law sat on the sofa, crossing her legs to manicure her nails: "Mom, how long did you say she lived here?" she turned her head and asked the aunt who was sitting on the other side, holding a cup of flower tea.

The aunt gloated and pouted: "It seems that it has been less than a month...... I thought she was going to live for the rest of her life!"

"Hey......" the sister-in-law sighed: "So what...... Human life is arranged at birth, God has arranged that you are a sparrow, you should live in a bird cage, and you will not be able to stand if you are given a high branch!"

"You said yes, right?" she lifted her leg and kicked Zhong Tian, who was sitting on the other couch.

"I'm ......" Zhong tilted his head and couldn't say a word for a long time. That sentence was both a mockery and a warning to her, and I could foresee that her life in this home would be harder than mine. Because she didn't even have the courage to quarrel with those two long-tongued women!

She stood up, looked at me, and wanted to speak, but was glared at by Qi Shaoyao: "You sit!" She really sat back, Qi Shaoyao turned his head: "Xinxin is upstairs, I'll call her." ”

"No need for you, I'll go!" I ran upstairs before him, Qi Shaoyao followed, and Gao Tengyue stayed in the living room.

Xinxin's room was neatly tied, and the picture of her that had been hanging on the wall was taken down and leaned against the wall, and next to it were two large suitcases with her favorite baby bears.

"Xinxin?" I pushed open the door and looked inside, "Xinxin?"

Qi Shaoyao also entered the door and walked around the room: "Xinxin's schoolbag is gone!"

"Xinxin!" My heart sank! I rushed out, called her name in the corridor, and pushed open every door, but I couldn't find her! Qi Shaoyao rushed up to the third floor. When I searched the second floor and saw him rushing down again at the top of the stairs, I raised my eyes and looked at his panicked face, and he shook his head!

"Xinxin-" I rushed down again, "Xinxin-"

Not on the first floor! Not in the yard!

Gao Tengyue chased after him: "Xinxin is gone?"

"I'll look for it outside!She shouldn't be able to go far!" Qi Shaoyao said that he was going to run out, and Gao Tengyue and I also turned around and prepared to go out. Zhong Tian appeared by the door: "I'll go ...... too"

"You give me back!" Qi Shaoyao yelled, stopped paying attention to her, and ran out alone!

Zhong Tian obediently lowered his head and walked in, while the other two women in the room were still drinking tea and manicure, as if they couldn't hear or see, and everything around them had nothing to do with them!

Gao Tengyue and I glanced at each other and ran in the other direction together!

"Xinxin!"

"Xinxin—"

"Qi-Xin-"

No response.

The sky has long since darkened, the wind is strong, and the mountain rain is coming.

I was tired of running, my legs were weak, and I fell on the road: "Xinxin, where are you?"

Xinxin is a sensitive child, living in an environment where human affection is thinner than paper since he was a child, and he learned to look at the faces of adults at a young age. The time Qi Shaoyi crashed, everyone was crying, she was hungry alone, holding her father's clothes and following behind, it was not that she was well-behaved, but she didn't dare, she didn't dare to complain to her father, she was hungry! She said those precocious words to comfort me to me, it wasn't that she was sensible, she was telling her that she couldn't cry, she couldn't be wronged, otherwise her father wouldn't like her! She was in the hospital, obviously dying of pain, but she still gritted her teeth and told us that she was not in pain, not because she didn't want to be coquettish, but because she was afraid that we would worry and become a burden to us! Said to reconcile, reconciled, suddenly there was a mother, the day of reunion was less than a month, and the divorce was divorced, the maid took out all her things and packed, she watched alone, she was going to leave with her mother, she was going to leave this home where she had lived since childhood, leaving her father who relied on her most, and her father didn't give her an explanation! What would she think? What would she think!

"Xinxin...... ......"I cried and called her name. It's all our fault, we only care about our own sadness, but we never think about her feelings! We don't deserve to be parents at all!

Gao Tengyue squatted down beside me and helped me up, I still wanted to move forward, but he grabbed me: "Let's go back, it's going to rain......"

"No...... I'm going to find her!" I shook off my high leap and moved on. It's going to rain, where are you hiding? You can't get wet...... You'll get sick in the rain...... Hurry up and come out, don't let your mother worry about it, okay? Please, come out quickly...... I promise you, never again...... I will ask your opinion and ask for your ideas in everything I do in the future...... Okay, can you come out quickly...... Hurry up and get out......

Gao Tengyue caught up, pulled me along, and hugged me into his arms: "Don't go! Maybe Qi Shaoyao has found her? Maybe she will go home by herself...... You're not well, go back and wait first...... If she's not at home, I'll come out and look for her again, okay?"

Has Qi Shaoyao found her? Will she go home by herself?

I stood there, looking at the high leaps, motionless. Gao Tengyue sighed, and dragged me back to the Qi Mansion without saying a word!

Back at Qi's house, the heavy rain outside had been pouring down, and Qi Shaoyao was also back, he was drenched in the rain, and his whole body was wet, and the rain was dripping down his soaked hair.

"Didn't find it?" he saw Gao Tengyue as soon as he entered the door.

Gao Tengyue shook his head, Qi Shaoyao came back alone, and he didn't find Xinxin!

Qi Shaoyao glanced behind Gao Tengyue: "What about the immortals?"

"Upstairs in the room. ”

"Wait for me, I'll come down right away!"

He's going to come up and tell me don't worry, he'll find Xin Xin no matter what!

I sat in the chair in front of Xinxin's desk and saw him enter the door alone, and I immediately understood. Without speaking, I stood up to go out, but he stopped me: "It's raining outside!"

"You know it's raining, you can't get wet!" I wanted to push him away, but he vigorously stiffened my body: "You can't get wet in the rain either!"

"I don't care. "If Xinxin is gone, I don't even have the desire to live, what else do I want to do with this body!

"But I need to be careful!" he growled, pushing me back into his chair, "you wait here, I'll go out now, I'll get her back!"

"I can't trust you!" I stood up again.

"I'm her dad!" he pushed me back again.

"You don't deserve to be a dad!" I screamed as I stood up again, shoved him hard, and took a deep breath: "I don't deserve to be a mom either......"

"Bang!" Qi Shaoyao's head hit on the closet.

"Oops......" A slight shout, it wasn't Qi Shaoyao's pain, the voice came from the closet!

Qi Shaoyao hurriedly got up and opened the closet door!

In the empty closet, Xin Xin covered her mouth with her hands and stared at us with two big frightened eyes! She carried her little schoolbag and three rag dolls in her arms!

"Xinxin!" Qi Shaoyao bowed, took her out, and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"Daddy...... I'm sorry......" She sobbed quietly in his arms, her arms around his neck, and the rag doll fell from her arms to the ground.

She pleaded weakly: "Daddy, I'm sorry...... Xin Xin will be obedient in the future...... You don't want to be okay?"

"Xinxin......" Qi Shaoyao's eyes turned red, he rubbed her soft hair with both hands, his lips fell on her forehead and kissed her one by one: "Xinxin, I'm sorry...... It's dad who doesn't ......."

He hugged Xin Xin a little tighter, rubbed his chin against her thin shoulder, and pressed his lips to her ear: "Xinxin, you have to remember that you will always be Daddy's most well-behaved daughter...... Dad will always love you the most......" After speaking, he kissed her on the face again, and handed her into my arms ruthlessly, tilting his head to the side: "Take her away!"

"Daddy—Daddy—" Xin Xin struggled in my arms, crying and shouting as she reached out to her father, "Xin Xin don't go...... Don't leave Daddy—"

But her father turned his back and didn't look at her!

"Daddy—Daddy—" She cried all the time, but she couldn't turn him back......

I hugged her tightly and wiped away her tears, but my tears flowed silently. "Xin Xin doesn't cry...... And Mom...... Mommy is here......"

"Mom-" She buried her face in my shoulder socket, but her small body trembled. Daddy doesn't want her anymore! What a terrible wound it was to her young heart!

Qi Shaoyao squatted down, his shoulders were shaking, but he didn't cry. He picked up the rag dolls on the ground, which I made for Xinxin, three of them. I named them Xiaoxin, and I told Xinxin that if I made a wish on them, my wish would come true!

A small note appeared in the pocket of the doll's clothes, Qi Shaoyao took it out and looked at it, and the crooked pencil writing on it read: "Xiaoxin, Xinxin hopes that Dad will get off work early every day and have more time to play with me." ”

There is also a small note in the second rag doll's clothes: "Xiaoxin, Xinxin hopes that Dad and Aunt Gao will become good friends, stop quarreling, and then let Aunt Gao be my mother." ”

The third small note read: "Xiao Xin, Xin Xin wants her mother, Xin Xin hates Aunt Zhong Ting." ”

He held the dolls to his chest, stood up, looked at me fixedly, then looked down at the three dolls, and smiled slightly. There were so many complicated things about that smile that I couldn't guess what he was thinking, and maybe I could never guess what he was thinking.

He gently rubbed the dolls, "This ...... Can you leave it to me?"
