Chapter 244: Let Me Stay With You
I put away all the dishes and chopsticks, took them to the kitchen sink, and was about to wash the dishes, when Yang Shu came over, took the dishcloth in my hand, turned on the faucet and began to brush the dishes by himself.
At this time, I didn't make a sound, just stood quietly and watched, only to see him skilfully brush the dishes, then use an absorbent cloth to absorb the water, and finally neatly place it on the kitchen rack next to it.
He finished brushing the dishes, tidying up everything in the kitchen, then turned to look at me, just looking at me, not speaking.
The two of us looked at each other for a long time, and just when I thought he was going to keep watching, he spoke.
"Let's talk. Poplar looked into my eyes with some indescribable emotion in his expression.
"Hmm. "What should come will always come, and this time I chose to face it bravely.
Afterwards, the two of us said hello to Xiaoxue and went out, and before going out, we repeatedly told not to open the door if any stranger came to knock on the door.
Xiaoxue obediently promised to play at home obediently and wait for us to come back.
Poplar and I walked very slowly along the way, and before I knew it, we came to the park where the three of us walked together on the night of my birthday, and now it happened to be the peak time for the residents of the community to go out for a walk after dinner, so it was quite lively.
We found a secluded corner and sat on a bench to rest.
"Lan Lan, thank you really this time!" Yang Shu opened his mouth to thank me, because of Lin Momo's matter.
Hmph, I can't help but sneer in my heart, why do you thank me instead of her? What position do you have? Who are you?
Of course, I didn't say these questions, but I was secretly angry in my heart, but I had to pretend to be a normal person on the surface.
"No thanks, I'm not doing this for her. I looked into the poplar's eyes and told him word by word.
"I know, I know, I really want to thank you, thank you for being willing to help me.
I know that Momo has done a lot of crazy things over the years, hurt you, and finally made her herself bruised.
In fact, she is also a very poor woman, who fell in love with a man who didn't love her, and calculated carefully for that man, and it was very difficult to go step by step.
Now, she was sued by the man she loved and almost went to prison.
The two of you used to be best friends, and I believe you know better than me that she wasn't like this before, she was carried away by jealousy, so she hurt you again and again, and even went to the point of no return. Yang Shu finished a long sentence in one breath, and I was very touched when I listened to it, and I could see that this was something he had been brewing for a long time.
"I want to thank you for your willingness to give her a chance to mend her ways, and I will definitely stay by her side so that she doesn't have a chance to hurt you and Xiaoxue again. Poplar paused, then continued.
"Well, these days of waiting for you are sad enough, and I am not afraid of hard work, I just care about it with a foolish courage, I don't know whether to move myself or disgust you.
I have come here again and again, but I will always save enough for disappointment, and my heart will always be cold, and I will no longer look forward to it and no longer rely on it.
If you leave, I won't wait, so be it, no matter how good or bad you are, no matter where you are in the future, who you are with, I hope you will go happily in the future.
In the following days, we will start again, take care of ourselves, take care!"
I took a deep look at Yang Shu, and I knew that he still hadn't given up on Lin Momo and decided to continue to be by her side, his will was so firm, and his love for her was so loyal.
My heart was mixed, even if I had a thousand words, I didn't have the courage to persuade him again, no matter what Yang Shu decided, I still didn't want him to be hurt.
"Well, I'll take good care of myself, don't worry, thank you Lanlan, thank you for your love, and thank you for letting go. You are a very good girl, worthy of love, I hope you can always believe in love, sooner or later someone will hold up the ring and say to you with a smile: please advise me for the rest of my life. ”
Please advise me for the rest of your life, what an old-fashioned line, but it has a different flavor when it comes out of the poplar's mouth.
"Hehe, I know. "Grief is greater than heart death, I have always known that there has never been a place for me in the heart of the poplar, but I am persistent and refuse to accept my fate, and finally make myself broken.
Even if it hurts in his heart, he must pretend to be calm on the surface and perform the last scene in front of the poplar tree.
I don't know what I'm going to do with my feelings for Poplar in the future, but I don't think I'm going to bother with his life anymore.
Poplar thought that he had opened my heart so that I didn't mind his affairs, so he talked to me very happily on the way home, and I just tried to cooperate so that he would not be too embarrassed.
Back at home, Xiaoxue was tired of playing, and when she saw us coming back, she hurriedly came over to ask for a hug, and then took her to brush her teeth and wash her face to get ready for bed.
In the past few days, Yang Shu has accompanied him to wash before going to bed, and then told stories to coax her to sleep, and there is no need to coax her tonight, she is already tired and sleepy. So Xiaoxue climbed directly into her small bed after washing, and fell asleep after a while.
Yang Shu and I saw that Xiaoxue had fallen asleep peacefully, so we went to sleep separately.
Because the house I rented is not very big, with two bedrooms and two living rooms, one kitchen and one bathroom, and Xiaoxue and I each have one room, so Yang Shu has been sleeping on the sofa all these days when he lives in my house.
The next morning, as soon as I woke up from my sleep, I heard the sound of receiving text messages from my mobile phone, and when I opened it, it turned out to be a poplar tree.
"Lan Lan, I bought the morning ticket back to Shanghai, and I saw that you and Xiaoxue were sleeping soundly, and I was afraid of disturbing your rest, so I didn't say hello to you, and I left. The content of the text message sent by Yang Shu.
"Well, it's a safe journey!" I replied.
I looked at the time on my phone, and it was 7:03 a.m., which means that Poplar should have just arrived at the station.
I looked blankly at the screen of my phone, which was the chat page of my text message with Poplar.
Well, it's good that you're gone, otherwise you're always worried that you're leaving.
I put down my phone and thought it was still early enough to sleep a little longer, so I got under the covers again and got ready to get some sleep.
Who knew that this sleep, I slept until three poles in the morning, and I woke up when I knew that Xiaoxue came to my bed to wake me up.
"Mommy, Mommy, why are you still sleeping, it's past ten o'clock now, I haven't eaten breakfast yet, I'm so hungry~ Hmph, if Uncle Poplar is here, I won't be hungry!"
"Okay, Mommy, I'll get up and buy you breakfast. "Xiaoxue is growing her body, and she can't be starved.
"Mommy, I want to eat Uncle Poplar's porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork and poached egg toast. "Xiaoxue kept mentioning poplars to me, which made me a little depressed.
I thought to myself, I'm not happy if he leaves, besides, he has to leave, and I can't keep him.
"You miss your Uncle Poplar so much, or let's move to his city. "I had a whim, so I casually joked with Xiaoxue.
"Okay, okay, I just don't like to stay here anymore, it's easy to get tired of staying in the same place for a long time. "The little girl talks about things in a set of ways, if she knew that I was just joking casually, would she immediately get angry and ignore me?
"Haha, the little girl knows a lot of weirdness, wait at home obediently, I'll go buy you breakfast. "There's really nothing you can do about her.
After telling the little girl, I went out and went to a breakfast shop that I used to go to to buy breakfast, but this is the order, I don't know if there is breakfast.
Thinking of the joke I just made with Xiaoxue, it doesn't seem completely impossible, anyway, I've been here for several years.
At the beginning, it was to avoid Lin Momo's crazy woman hurting my daughter Xiaoxue, at that time, I was also very disappointed in Yangshu, and I was heartbroken by him, and Shen Xuanhan chased and beat me hard, so that I didn't even have the time to take a breath, and then I couldn't stand that kind of life, so I felt that I moved to this town.
Now, some time ago, I have made the cards clear with Shen Xuanhan, I don't love him, and I won't be with him.
I had already opened my heart and chatted with Yang Shu last night, and my subconscious mind had already persuaded me to let go of Yang Shu, and he promised me that he would not let Lin Momo hurt me and my daughter again, so what else do I have to worry about?
So, if I go back to the magic capital now, I should be able to take Xiaoxue with me and live a peaceful life. So why should I hide in this town like a coward?
Maybe I can find a new job to support myself and my children.
Moreover, Xiaoxue is about to start elementary school, and I should take her to the city so that she can get a better education instead of wasting her time in this small town.
Thinking like this, I soon came to the breakfast shop, which still had the breakfast we used to eat, so I didn't hesitate to order it to take away.
When packing, the boss also asked me: "Eh, girl, why haven't you come to my store to buy breakfast during this time, I saw you walking with a very handsome man some time ago, is that man your boyfriend?
"Haha, no, that man is a distant relative of mine who is on a business trip here, so he came to see me. "I casually came up with a reason, prevaricating the owner of the breakfast shop, thinking that this owner was really gossipy.
"Hahahaha, oh, it turned out to be a distant relative~" Because there were no customers at the breakfast shop at this time, the boss kept joking with me, and the laughter became more and more hearty.
"Thank you boss ha, I'm leaving. "I couldn't wait to take the breakfast that the boss had packed, thinking that it was finally packed.
Those who bought breakfast walked briskly all the way home.
"Xiaoxue, wash your hands, it's time for breakfast. "When I opened the door, I saw Xiaoxue playing on the couch.
"Okay, I'll be right here. Xiaoxue replied obediently.
"Mommy, when did you say we were going to move to Uncle Poplar's. Xiaoxue asked me with a disgusted look as she ate the breakfast she bought outside.
"Tomorrow!" Well, I also think that this craft can't be compared with poplars.
