Chapter Eighty-Four: Melancholy
Yu Xin couldn't figure out her thoughts, every time Yinglong came to visit Xiao Yingrui, she enthusiastically let Yinglong sit down in the house, so that he could play with his son.
But when the wind and the sun are beautiful, Yu Xin will intentionally wear that set of Yinglong's familiar clothes.
She couldn't tell why, she knew that this outfit was somewhat similar to the one she had when she first met Yinglong, but Yuxin didn't mind wearing it one more time, and she didn't even think it just fitted, but it was also suitable.
She didn't know if she wanted to do this, but when Yinglong looked at her, she didn't think Yinglong would mind wearing it again.
Therefore, before the arrival of Yinglong, Yuxin will deliberately dress up.
Now it is similar to her original thoughts, she doesn't want Yinglong to see that she doesn't like to clean up, and still wants to be a delicate woman.
Although the two are no longer together, she still wants to maintain a perfect image in Yinglong's heart.
Yu Xin vaguely remembered a passage she had heard in a dream before, which was a voice she heard in the haze when she looked back on the past in the middle of the night.
The voice was very deep, I don't know where it came from, "Yuxin, I once told you that you made a bet with someone when you first fell out of love to find a good man, so I let you win the bet easily and made my chips fall in love with you." But instead of cherishing, you threw him away when you were bored. It's not that you're perfect, it's just that I don't want to make the chips sad. My heart broke when I heard him complain that he didn't have a perfect love, so I let you meet again, let him fall in love with you again, and make you win the bet easily. But you don't know how to cherish it, and it makes my chips miserable. You couldn't stand up for your love at the beginning, so you broke up. But when you were united, what I didn't understand was that you still gave up on him, so I simply let you be single to punish you as a punishment, do you understand?"
Yuxin didn't know who was talking to her, but she seemed to have heard similar words in her previous dreams, and they weren't so strange, so she felt panicked and regretted, and simply took Xiao Yingrui alone and lived a single life, but in the loneliness, she couldn't help but miss the time with Yinglong.
When Yu Xin watched the father and son play happily together, she was very surprised that Xiao Yingrui did not feel strange to him because his father was not around.
And when he saw his father again and again, Xiao Ruirui became more and more sticky Yinglong.
Xiao Yingrui sometimes asks his mother during dinner: "When will Dad come back for dinner, I have Coke chicken wings that I want to leave for Daddy." ”
Yu Xin always feels helpless in the face of her child's naïve thoughts, but she doesn't know how to answer these childish questions.
Looking at Xiao Yingrui's innocent big eyes, she was afraid that if she was not careful, she would hurt this young heart, and even make the child cry.
She knew that Yinglong was away from home when he was a child, and Yinglong had told her about the past, when he didn't even know what his parents were like.
At this time, Xiao Yingrui also knew that his parents would accompany him, and someone really loved him. Although Yinglong always has to "go on a business trip", he will come to see him on time every week, play with him all day, and then leave quietly before dark, and he will go far away.
Dad is like "flying around" in Xiao Yingrui's eyes, flying around, but he can't accompany him all day long, sometimes take him and his mother to go shopping together, and let him drag his parents' arms to swing the "swing", and even buy rainbow lollipops for him to eat every day.
But children have to grow up after all. Although other children asked Yingrui, "How is your father, why can't you see him all the time?", Xiao Yingrui once deliberately boasted about Haikou: "My father has a lot of strength and can beat the Dead Sea to death, and the Dead Sea is what my father killed." ”
Other children laughed at Xiao Yingrui, but Xiao Yingrui was not convinced, because he knew that his father had a lot of strength. In the past, Dad used to lift him above his head and sit on his shoulders so that little Yingrui could see higher and farther.
So, when other children asked him, "Where did your dad go?"
Xiao Yingrui always replied: "My dad is on a business trip, and he has to go far, far away." ”
"Is it Inner Mongolia?"
"Probably so!"
In Xiao Yingrui's eyes, Inner Mongolia is probably the farthest place, where there are endless grasslands and groups of galloping horses, because he has seen them on TV.
Yu Xin became more and more uneasy, after all, Xiao Ruirui was going to grow up in a few years. Although Xiao Yingrui is not tall now and looks young, after all, he has to be sensible and will go to school soon, at that time, how should she explain it to the child?
Dad can't be "on a business trip" all his life! Can Xiao Yingrui believe it? Will he think that his parents are working together to deceive him?
Yu Xin has been anxious.
And she also felt that the family needed a man, a man who could help her shelter from the wind and rain and protect her and Xiao Yingrui.
After all, she's just a woman, and there are some things she can't do. And what if something happens, what should she do? No one can help her with ideas, and no one can help her stand alone.
Speaking of Yinglong, Yu Xin doesn't hate him. From the moment she saw him, she thought that Yinglong was a reliable man, not full of fancy stomachs, nor like some men who were full of bad ideas, just wanted to take advantage of others, and even beat her crooked ideas.
To be honest, with Yinglong, Yuxin has a sense of security. Yinglong is very considerate, and this is known from the time he was with him.
If Yinglong wasn't too arbitrary and impulsive, she wouldn't have talked to Mr. Tao. Although Mr. Tao is superficially mature, he is only hot for three minutes.
When Mr. Tao got married, he actually retreated, and he was still getting along with his old friend. Fortunately, she resolutely withdrew from the marriage, otherwise she really didn't know how to deal with it, and what happened afterwards made Yuxin suffer a big loss.
But Yu Xin learned from the pain, and now looking back on the past, she feels that she was too naïve at that time, which is simply unreasonable. He "just jumped out of the fire pit and fell into the puddle of water." In the end, Yinglong had no choice but to divorce her.
Mr. Tao knew that after Yu Xin flew solo, he began to "reduce fever". actually began to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and repeatedly prevaricated. Anyway, I'm not interested in her.
Yu Xin felt a little ridiculous, she would believe such a person, she thought he was reasonable and easy to speak, but in fact, this person was unwilling.
Yu Xin thought of Yinglong, although he was a little impulsive and arbitrary, he was a man who loved his family. Not only do you care about your children, but you can also take on the responsibility of the family, albeit very hard.
Yinglong didn't make much money, but he didn't use it only for himself. Yu Xin couldn't help but think carefully, although she had come to this point, whether she could save the defeat. What's more, Yinglong's situation is better, with his own business, he has much more money than before, but he may also face more temptations.
Yu Xin heard Yinglong say that there was a good-looking young girl in the store, who had a good personality and was virtuous, and she was his helper.
When Yinglong was away, he left things to her to take care of.
In this way, it seems that she is young and beautiful, and she can take care of business, maybe one day Yinglong will choose her.
Yu Xin thought like this, and felt a wave of uneasiness in her heart. seems to understand why I don't hate my ex-husband like some women.
In fact, she didn't expect Yinglong to come to visit Xiao Yingrui on time. Needless to say, she found that she was looking forward to a "Queqiao Meeting" every week, waiting for the arrival of Yinglong with great anticipation.
When Yu Xin was cleaning, she saw the pencil drawing of Xiao Yingrui in Yinglong's room in the past, and there were two adults holding a child in front of the hut.
In this children's painting, everyone is smiling so happily. It seems that when Xiao Yingrui painted this picture, he drew it with reference to his parents and himself, although there is no cute puppy, but this puppy is also what the little guy has been eager to have.
Perhaps Xiao Yingrui hoped that he could have a happy family like the picture, but now this wish has come to naught.
Even though he was too young to realize what was happening, he would eventually understand these things, but Yu Xin didn't know how to explain them.
Yu Xin understands that her son hopes to have a pair of parents who love him, and she and Yinglong are trying their best to satisfy their children. Yinglong tries to give his son full emotional needs, and Yuxin is also trying her best to take care of his life, and they don't want their son to feel that there is something lacking.
Yu Xin wiped the rag through the glass on the frame, and carefully wiped it again, trying not to leave a trace of dust. She carefully observed this small painting and realized her son's good intentions, and her eyes couldn't help but be a little moist.
In this room, there is still a faint trace of the smell of tobacco left by Yinglong. The futon on the bed was still in the same place as before, but now that no one had opened it, I wondered if it would become wet.
Yu Xin picked up the pillow towel and dusted it on the bed, trying to shake off the dust, the pillow towel raised a damp smell in the air, Yu Xin suddenly thought: "It's time to dry the quilt." ”
Then she took the quilt to the guardrail outside the window and spread it out in the sun, so that it could dissipate the dampness and avoid a musty smell.
Yinglong's wardrobe was full of his clothes for the four seasons, but now it is empty, leaving only a few old clothes that he didn't take with him.
When Yinglong left, he filled the box with his clothes, and some of the outdated clothes were also donated to the large box that collected old clothes.
When he finally counted it, he found that there were not many new clothes, so he simply packed two large suitcases.
Now that this wardrobe has been empty for a long time, Yu Xin simply put some of Xiao Yingrui's clothes and hung a few of her clothes in it by the way.
Her deep rose suit hung alone there. Yu Xin stared at it blankly for a while, realizing why he was wearing it in front of Yinglong, in fact, he just wanted to evoke Yinglong's memories, so that he could remember the scene when they first met, and awaken the feeling that was sleeping in his heart.
Yu Xin didn't know if it would be in vain, or if Yinglong would ignore her move, but she also knew that making amends might not be successful.
Yu Xin shook her clothes, straightened out the corner of the wardrobe, and then closed the cabinet door.
Xiao Ruirui was still playing in the living room, and Yuxin sat on the sofa watching TV, while watching her son play with toys.
Yu Xin felt that Xiao Ruirui's appearance looked like his facial features were really a bit like Yinglong's childhood.
There are a few photos of Yinglong when he was a child, Yu Xin once saw it, and his round face when he was a child is somewhat similar to Xiao Yingrui's appearance now.
Especially the eyes, nose and small mouth, Xiao Ruirui obviously inherited the characteristics of his father's childhood. I don't know if Yinglong will think of his childhood when he looks at his children.
Rui Rui is very naughty at times, throwing a tantrum into throwing things and then kicking a few more times. In the past, Yinglong would call him aside and say a few words seriously, although the tone was not stern,
But Xiao Ruirui still howls and cries, wiping his tears and calling his mother.
Yinglong had no choice but to pick him up and put him on his knees, and reasoned with him with a pleasant face. After crying for a while, Xiao Ruirui sobbed and suppressed his voice, wiping tears from his mouth.
Yinglong loves this little guy very much, and he is reluctant to beat him at all, and is only tolerant of his naughty behavior.
Now that Yinglong is not at home, Xiao Yingrui seems to be much more sensible and no longer throws toys casually. It's just strange that I don't usually see my father, and no one plays with his toys. But he also seems to realize something, but he still can't figure it out at this ignorant age.
