I nodded, and I said, "I thank you for taking care of Yan Yan, I came today because I felt that I owed him affection from the bottom of my heart, so I rushed over." Ono, you are a good girl, and I really hope you are happy. If you think that my presence will interfere with your feelings, then I can keep my distance from Brother Monkey as much as possible in the future, really. ”

She looked at me with a little weak eyes, and she said, "Sister, I didn't mean that, it's just that he is a person who is very serious about feelings, and he needs a certain amount of time to forget a person." I have been with him for so long, I know him, I love him, I am willing to pay for him, I will slowly let him know who is the woman he deserves to cherish. I don't want any surprises until then. Sister, do you understand?"

I understand, how could I not understand. Compared to Ono, I am indeed too inferior, I was once in a passive waiting position emotionally, and I never dared to take the initiative to fight for it, because I was afraid that I would be hurt too deeply. Women who are easily hurt tend to be emotionally prone to passivity. I envy such a woman who dares to blatantly declare sovereignty, such a woman must live much more than me.

I didn't want to say anything more, I knew that now I was a fierce rival in Ono's eyes, and she looked at me the same way Han Qianmo looked at me before. It's just that she is much smarter than Han Qianmo, she didn't choose to oppose me, but stood in a reasonable position for me to understand the stakes for myself.

I simply asked, "Okay, so what do you want me to do?"

She was still young after all, and when I asked, her tone was a little stiff, and she said, "Uh...... He's drunk now...... I don't want him to know you've been here...... I know it's making you unhappy...... However, you should understand. If he knew you had come all the way for his birthday, he would have rekindled hope, you know what I mean?"

She was very bold, did she know that I would agree? I didn't speak, just looked at her, and smiled without saying a word.

She became more and more weak-hearted, and she said, "Sister, of course, if you feel that you need to tell him, that is your freedom. I just think you're not just friends with him, you're friends with me. So I beg you to fulfill my happiness, okay?"

I suddenly laughed and touched her head, I was much taller than her. I said, "You two haven't decided yet, have you?"

She had a sense of embarrassment that I had seen through it, but she still said stiffly: "Although I didn't say it, in fact we are." ”

I said, "I understand. Ono, I admire your courage, I have no possession of Brother Monkey from beginning to end. I bought this shirt for him, so give it to him for me. If you don't feel the need to tell him I bought it, then say you bought it yourself. I won't go in, and you won't have to tell him I've been. ”

When she heard me say this, she probably felt a little guilty again, and she said, "Sister, what ...... Aren't you wronged? You came all the way to ......."

I shook my head, and I said, "As long as you and Brother Monkey can be happy, then I'll go." Ono, thank you for taking care of Yan Yan. In the future, when I have the ability, I will definitely repay you!"

She looked at me, probably not knowing what to say, I knew that she was in a more complicated mood than me now, she was still young after all, although she was bold but she couldn't find enough reason to support herself to let me go, after all, I and Brother Monkey have never had a clear relationship. If she does this, if I don't sell face, she won't fall well in front of me and Brother Monkey. This move, for her, is not only the right move, but also a dangerous move. If you are not careful, you will lose all the games.

I could have refused her, but I'd rather have her accompany Brother Monkey for the rest of my life. Brother Monkey's personality is quite emotional, while Ono has a rational and deep side, she is bound to take good care of Brother Monkey, she has such an ability.

I patted her on the shoulder to signal her to feel at ease, turned around and quickly left there, walked out of the KTV, and felt like I was in a foreign country in the face of this once familiar city. Perhaps, I never found the sense of belonging I was looking for.

I found an express hotel and checked in, texted and asked Yan Bin for a day off. Tomorrow, I want to go see Yan Yan, I want to tell her, soon, in half a year, I will have enough savings to take her and live with me. I would tell her that Mom had been trying so hard to be with her.

I slept a little drunk, probably too tired, and when I woke up again, I was in a trance, and I had the illusion that I didn't know where I was. As soon as I saw that it was ten o'clock in the morning, I quickly got up and washed. At this time, the phone rang, and it was Yan Bin's.

He said, "What's wrong with you?

I said, "I'm back in H City, I want to go see Yan Yan." ”

He said, "Oh, okay, then you should come back early, I miss you." ”

Overwhelmed by his gentleness, I said, "Oh, got it." ”

After hanging up the phone, I went out, left the room, and went straight to Yan Yan's school, wanting to take her out at noon.

When I walked to the school gate, I hesitated, I was a little afraid to walk in, that kind of emotion, a little similar to "closer to home, more timid".

Familiar places, familiar street scenes, familiar vendors are still hawking, and there are bursts of childlike recitations from the school. My Yanyan, I have only been away from her for half a year, but how can I have a sense of alienation that I can no longer integrate into her life?

In the past six months, I have seen her only a handful of times, she has never seen me crying heartbreakingly, she has learned to be forbearant and strong at a young age, holding her mouth and holding my thighs, but only said "Mom, I am waiting for you to pick me up early".

In the past six months, the thoughts have never stopped, but the thoughts have been so decisive for the first time. I don't want me to show up again and again to remind her of her mother, and I don't want to make her suffer the same pain as I miss her when I can't take her away. She's still so young, her mind can't be so focused, she's going to miss me, but she's quickly forgotten about it......

At this moment, it was futile to think too much, I couldn't stop my steps, I couldn't wait, so I ran to her school and her class with big bags and snacks.

I knocked on the door, and the teacher asked me who I was looking for. She is already in a large class, and the teacher has changed. I said, "I'm Nguyen Thanh Yen's mother. ”

The teacher looked at me in surprise, then turned his head and shouted, "Ruan Qingyan, is she your mother?"

At that moment, I saw Yan Yan, who was sitting on a small bench and painting seriously, turning her head vigorously, and running desperately at the first sight of me, shouting "Mom". In that scene, the liver and intestines were broken.

She hugged me tightly, and the teacher saw the situation and said to me with a smile: "Her father has always been here to pick me up, so I don't know you, please don't be surprised." ”

I said, "I've been working in the field and don't have time to take care of my children. Teacher, can I take her out for a while?"

The teacher readily agreed, and I took Yan Yan's hand and took her out with mixed feelings. Yan Yan was very happy, she held my hand tightly and asked me: "Mom, why are you here? Do you miss Yan Yan? You haven't come to see Yan Yan for a long time, Yan Yan has been very well-behaved recently, when I miss my mother, I paint my mother, and I have painted a lot of portraits of my mother, all at home." But Dad threw it away when he saw it, and said he wouldn't let me draw you, saying you didn't want me anymore. Mom, you won't want me, will you?"

She looked at me expectantly, and she talked so much that she seemed to have so much to say to me that she couldn't finish it in one sitting. I kind of wanted to cry, but I tried my best to hold back, I like her optimistic attitude now, I don't want my emotions to make her feel unhappy. I squatted down and said to her very solemnly: "Yan Yan, my mother will never leave you for the rest of your life." Mom promised you that in another six months, in another six months, Mom will pick you up to Mom, okay?"

She nodded happily and then said, "Well, I know, Mom has always loved me, Mom has always been in my heart." ”

I touched her head, kissed her the cheek, and said, "Silly boy, tell mom what you've been learning lately......"

We walked and chatted all the way, I originally thought that the sad meeting did not expect to be so cheerful, and the face that used to be quiet and silent is now slowly cheerful and lively with the growth of age, which I did not expect.

I took her to eat KFC, and she kept cheering at me, and I said, "Little fool, what are you happy about?"

She smiled and drank juice and said to me, "My mom is getting prettier and prettier, her face used to be like this, and her face is like this now." ”

She gestured as she spoke, meaning that the corners of my mouth were always drooping down, but now the corners of my mouth are up. I was also amused by her, and I said, "How could my mother be like this before?"

She said: "Yes, my mother was always unhappy. Mom is not happy, Yan Yan is not happy, Yan Yan doesn't know how to make her mother happy. Now I see that my mother is happy, and Yan Yan is also happy. ”

My nose was sore, and I said, "Yan Yan, how is Dad doing to you?"

She smiled and said: "Dad is kind to Yan Yan now, Dad said that the fortune teller said that I am his cash cow, so he has to take care of me and buy me snacks every day." Grandma was also nice to me, grandma said I was a little princess......"

I didn't expect such a dramatic result, and I asked in surprise, "Yan Yan, are you telling the truth?

She shook her head, and she said, "No." Yan Yan didn't lie to her mother, it's true. Now my grandmother is still helping me take a bath and help me tie my braids, you see, my braid today is my grandmother's ......."

Her hair and clothes are neat, her little face and hands are clean, and she looks very happy. Perhaps, I was right to leave...... Why did even Yan Yan's treatment change so much after I left?

I took Yan Yan to finish my meal and sent her back to school. After half a year, I called Ruan Dazhi's phone for the first time, he was very surprised to hear that it was me, I asked him if he was free and would like to come out to meet, I bought a lot of things for Yan Yan, and he readily agreed.

For the first time in so many years, the two of us sat in a café, and it was a little strange to think about the six years we've been a husband and wife. He rarely came to this kind of place, and his crampedness was written in his eyes, and when he saw me, he couldn't help but look at me a few more times, and then said: "It seems that you have been doing well lately, and you have come to such a high-grade place." ”
