The circular pendulum clock hanging under the thin chain swipes from side to side, creating an arc at a 75-degree angle.

He lay flat and closed his eyes, his breathing smoothing......

A voice in his ears gradually guided him, and his tense and tired body relaxed.

Soon he fell into a deep sleep, and after a few moments, white spots appeared in front of his eyes.

It's light.

The white dot grew bigger and bigger, and the light was dazzling, and it instantly lit up and woke him up.

……

Ji Linchuan walked into the kitchen and slowly began to make coffee, he wanted to go upstairs to take a look at her, just walked up the two stairs, he heard a noise outside, and then the door was entered by Didi a few times, and it was opened with a hula.

At the same time, the sobering and stimulating sound is flooding!

As soon as he saw Ji Linchuan, he pointed at him and scolded loudly, "None of you take me seriously! She has been pregnant for six months, how long are you going to hide such a big thing from me!"

Ji Linchuan went down the stairs and stopped in a low voice, "Can you be quiet, she hasn't woken up yet." “

Mrs. Ji was like a fish in her throat, looked in the direction of upstairs, immediately pursed her lips, stopped making a sound, and instructed Sister Li to put the various tonic bird's nests she brought into the kitchen, pulled Ji Linchuan and said, "Why don't you tell me that she is pregnant...... It's your child. “

"What are you talking about? It's not mine, who do you think it is?"

"Oh, the pregnancy test ......" Mrs. Ji sat on the sofa angrily, with complaint and anger, resisted the urge to scold him with her head and face, and sighed: "I also know that you resent me in your heart, but if you had told me earlier, why would she have suffered such a big crime?"

Ji Linchuan took the coffee and blew away the heat, and Mrs. Ji kept asking a series of questions, "Have you completed the remarriage procedures?" Xiaoyou is too thin, how much can she eat every day now? Has the taste changed? What does she like to eat now, I will send it to her every day." Mrs. Ji turned to think, "No, I'm still not at ease, so let her live back in the old mansion, with me, you can also worry about it." “

Saying that, she began to explain to Sister Li, and quickly arranged for the house to clean up the room, and two more people came to clean up for Mrs. Ji, Ji Linchuan saw that she was getting more and more outrageous, and she couldn't bear it, so she stopped: "Mom! “

Mrs. Ji was stunned for a moment, "You are still not at ease with your mother, now that the company is so busy, how much time can you spare to take care of her, isn't it also for your good that I do this." “

Ji Linchuan's face was solemn, "Everything else is up to you, only this matter is not negotiable, she must stay by my side." Seeing that his attitude was as hard as a stinky stone, Mrs. Ji explained euphemistically, "In this way, you also go back to live, you go to the company during the day, and don't you see you after work at night?"

Ji Linchuan still disagreed, the child was born a few months later, and the world of the two of them was completely over, he just wanted to stay with her for a few more months, go back to the old house to live, from morning to night, how could there be any purity?

Mrs. Ji didn't give up, leaned forward and wanted to persuade again.

Suddenly, Ji Linchuan's still eyes raised his hand and asked her not to speak yet.

At this time, Mrs. Ji also heard movement upstairs, as if she was calling him, and after waiting for a few seconds, the voice became clearer, and she was indeed shouting urgently: "Ji Linchuan!"

His instincts were not good, so he stumbled to his feet, took three steps and made two steps, and ran upstairs as fast as he could.

I saw her grabbing the quilt, her frightened eyes looked very scared, and when she saw him coming, she lifted the quilt and threw herself into his arms, "What's wrong?" Ji Linchuan hugged her tightly and asked her.

Ouyang Yuyou timidly stretched out her hand and pointed to the glass door leading to the balcony in the distance, and said in a trembling voice: "It seems to be ...... There are snakes. “

Although their house is surrounded by more vegetation, there is a large balcony of forty or fifty square meters outside the bedroom on the second floor, which is full of potted plants.

Ji Linchuan touched her palms full of cold sweat, knowing that she was frightened, she grabbed her waist and couldn't move, he could only stretch his neck and look intently.

Mrs. Ji also followed, and when she heard that there was a snake, she was so frightened that her face was like dirt, and she didn't dare to take another half step forward.

Ji Linchuan looked at it for a while and didn't see that thing, so he hurriedly asked her in his arms, do you see where it is?

She still hugged his waist tightly and whispered, "Balcony...... Black and white. When he heard it, why was this thing so familiar, he touched his chin, and suddenly woke up!

I suddenly remembered what that thing was all about. A few mornings ago, Ah Sheng brought Xiao Zhi over, the two women were chatting in the living room downstairs, he was still making up for sleep, Xiao Zhi came to trouble him, quietly took out a simulated toy from his backpack, and stuffed it into the quilt to scare him while he didn't pay attention, Ji Linchuan was so sleepy that he grabbed it and threw it away.

I didn't expect Xiao Zhi to take his pet away......

Ji Linchuan looked at it again in a blink of an eye, was there a small black square remote control button next to the pillow, Ji Linchuan picked it up and pressed it gently, only to see that there was a slender thing outside the glass door and ran out of it vividly.

Ouyang Yuyou screamed, shivered, wrapped his neck around him and hid on him, Ji Linchuan hugged her like a big child, and couldn't help laughing loudly for a while.

Mrs. Ji was also frightened, and pointed at Ji Linchuan: "You are still laughing! If you don't call someone quickly, how can there be snakes here!"

"Mom, that's a toy, Xiao You may have accidentally pressed the remote control button. Ji Linchuan threw the button switch and carried Ouyang Yuyu into the elevator and went downstairs.

Mrs. Ji walked over suspiciously and took a look, it was really a toy snake, it didn't look like it at all when she got closer, and it was scary from a distance because it could move, Mrs. Ji frowned, found a stick to pick it up, and threw it downstairs, inevitably scolding Ji Linchuan again, "You are old, how can there be such a childish thing at home, in case she scares her out of a bad way, see how I clean you up!"

After a long time, Ouyang Yuyou calmed down a little, sat on the sofa and drank water with a cup.

Such a small episode caused Mrs. Ji to seem to hold an important handle, saying that she would not let Ji Linchuan take care of the pregnant woman, and when the two argued, Xiao Ai happened to come again, Mrs. Ji looked up and down, how could such a young girl take care of her daughter-in-law?

Mrs. Ji's face was obviously full of unease, and just as she wanted to speak, Ouyang Yuyou put down the cup and called, "Mom." “

Mrs. Ji instantly looked at her with a sigh, and Ouyang Yuyou said, "You are fighting around, why don't you ask me?"

Mrs. Ji then remembered to ask her opinion, stroked her hand, and asked, "Then what do you think?" Ouyang Yu smiled, looked at Ji Linchuan, and said, "I listen to him." “

Her fluttering words suddenly set off a huge wave in his heart, if it weren't for the scruples of someone being there, he really wanted to fall down and kiss her immediately.

Mrs. Ji's frustrated look was unwilling to glance at him.

After that, Mrs. Ji came every day, and sometimes she couldn't wait to stay here all day.

Mrs. Ji was there, and she was particular about standing and sitting, eating and sleeping, and reminded her from time to time that such a sitting posture was not conducive to the fetus, so that she straightened up, and after a while, she said that she ate too little, and asked Sister Li to set up a table full of dishes, urging her to eat more.

Ji Linchuan caught a glimpse of her doing so without saying a word, but she knew in her heart that she was uncomfortable, so Mrs. Ji was coaxed by Ji Linchuan every day and pushed out of the door.

……

Ji Linchuan sat back beside her.

His gaze lingered on her face.

White dots appeared in front of his eyes again, shaking, as if to pull him back.

……

Ji Linchuan restrained himself and continued to look intently at the woman who drank snow clam syrup beside him.

He reached out and touched her face, the delicate and smooth skin, very real.

But it's like a dream.

It reminds him that when he graduated from junior high school as a teenager, he went abroad to participate in a knowledge competition.

Because he missed the time because of playfulness, he was directly disqualified, he came back in disgrace, and was beaten by Ji Fansen on the same day, locked in the room and thought about it, and told the aunt at home not to bring him food!

You have to starve him for a few meals!

Coincidentally, there was an emergency that day, Ji Fansen and Mrs. Ji walked for two whole days, completely forgetting the son who was punished at home to the clouds, and the aunt who cooked did not dare to bring him food because she listened to the instructions, the key is that they didn't know how to open the locked door, so they starved him several times.

At night, he used the landline to call Ouyang Yuyou, he teased her three times that month, and she didn't pay attention to him for most of the month, but as soon as he heard that he hadn't eaten all day, he still heard her soft voice over the phone, saying, "Then you wait for me." “

At that time, she was eleven years old, no matter day or night, she was easy to enter and exit the Ji family, and she even knew where Ji Fansen put the key to the house.

In the middle of the night, she took out the dumplings that her aunt had frozen in the refrigerator, boiled the underwater pot, put them in a bowl, carried them all the way, walked down the wooden stairs to Ji Fansen's study, found a large bunch of keys in the second drawer from under the desk of Lihuamu, and then came to Ji Linchuan's door, and tried them one by one without hurry.

When she pushed open the wooden lattice door, Ji Linchuan saw her slender and soft figure, wearing a black cotton skirt and a loose white shirt outside, and she came in with a bowl of hot dumplings.

Ji Linchuan's eyes lit up.

Dumplings, she, dumplings, she ......

Ji Linchuan was about to cry.

In his eyes, she was a little angel with a halo on her head!

Although Ouyang Yuyou came to bring him food that day, the purpose was not pure, and when he swallowed the last one, he saw her holding her face with her hands in front of him, and smiled treacherously: "Hmm...... You know what? After eating my dumplings, you are my person. “

Ji Linchuan almost sprayed her face with a mouthful of dumpling soup.

Resisted, pursed his lips and poofed out a few droplets.

In the end, he still couldn't withstand the persecution, and he wrote six summer vacation homework for her.

He still can't forget the fennel-filled dumplings he ate that day, and the smiling eyes she had as she watched him gobble up.

At this moment, the still delicate woman was nestled in the sofa, holding a white porcelain bowl, drinking snow clam syrup one by one, she was unconscious, she didn't notice how deep, tortuous, and delicate emotions condensed from the gaze on the other side.

Ji Linchuan touched her face and shouted, "Xiaoyou." “

"Little ......"

He didn't have time to hear her answer......

The living room, the snow clam water, the white porcelain bowl, and the pregnant woman, shook in front of his eyes, gradually turning into a spiral picture, rotating and crowded, getting smaller and smaller.

The round white light flickered, the halo opened wider and wider, and in front of him was an unfathomable gradient channel, and a voice came from that exit: "Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji." “

He heard the psychiatrist's shout, snorted, his chest heaved and heaved, his skeletal hands stretched straight, his brows furrowed, resisting sobriety, just wanting to catch the disappearing picture!

"Don't go......"

But in the end, he slowly opened his moist eyes, as he had done every time before......
