Chapter Twenty-Six: Darkness and Solitude
For several days, Shen Wei was reminded by Zheng Lihua that she could always leave the He family before He Yu came back, but every day when she saw He Yu stepping into the house, she was still a little nervous, after all, she brought Shen Wei in without him.
"Mama Zheng, did Z Bao have a good meal today?" He Yu took off his suit jacket and sat next to Z Bao.
"Today, my wife is very well-behaved and has a good meal. β
"Really?" He Yu smiled and touched Z Bao's head.
"Then I'm going to cook. β
"Hmm. β
She quickly turned around and went into the kitchen, she was really not a qualified liar.
He Yu didn't notice Zheng Lihua's abnormality, picked up Z Bao's favorite toy placed next to the sofa, put it in his hand, and hid it in front of her alternately with his left and right hands, so as to attract her attention.
In fact, he has done countless actions and small games like this to attract Z Bao's attention, but the effect of the harvest is very small, even so, he will insist on helping Z Bao do some training like this every day, no matter how no response will be, he always believes it.
During the play, he suddenly saw another new toy that Shen Wei brought during the day that fell at the bottom of the sofa, He Yu couldn't help but think that there were always many new toys at home inexplicably recently, he bent down to pick them up, and Zheng Lihua, who came to call them to eat, saw it, and quickly stepped forward and picked up the toys on the ground.
"Oh, sir, this is what I bought for my wife today, look at me, I don't know if I threw it on the ground like this. β
"Mama Zheng, didn't you say don't buy things for Z Bao, you are also earning hard-earned money. He Yu glanced at the toy in her hand, and said, "Besides, you have bought several toys in the past few days." β
"It's okay, I've long regarded my wife as my own daughter, and it's nothing to buy her some gadgets. Saying that, Zheng Lihua reached out and touched Z Bao's head lovingly, looking at the scene in front of him, He Yu knew that she was sincere, he didn't feel lost, but he was happy that there was one more person who was good to Z Bao.
"Alright, I believe you, let's go to dinner, Mama Zheng. He Yu gently patted Zheng Lihua's shoulder.
Hearing him say "you", and believing her words, Zheng Lihua almost couldn't help crying, and she began to wonder if it was a wrong decision for her to agree to help Shen Wei infiltrate the He family.
In any case, she didn't want to hurt He Yu, hurt Z Bao, looking at the backs of the two young people walking hand in hand towards the dining room, Zheng Lihua sighed heavily, in fact, the two of them are just fine, why do you still have to let Shen Wei destroy such a harmonious and peaceful pair.
May their momentary confusion not hurt them.
The next day
After He Yu left, Shen Wei still arrived on time, unable to withstand Shen Wei's bitter pleading, and because he said that he wanted to take Z Bao to the aquarium to see dolphins, it would help her autism, Zheng Lihua agreed to let him take Z Bao out.
This is the first time that Z Bao has gone out since he went to the town with He Yu on his last birthday, Shen Wei has done enough homework for this outing, and knows that there are autistic patients abroad who have been alleviated due to contact with dolphins. I asked my assistant to check it out and learned that there was an aquarium in City H that had many dolphins that could not perform and were used to contact patients privately.
He deliberately took Z Bao to go, just to try whether this "dolphin therapy" is really effective, after getting along for a few days, no matter what, Shen Wei actually wants to see what it will be like when Z Bao turns back into a normal person, will she still choose He Yu? Or, she will become a new person.
Shen Wei cleared the aquarium, there were only the two of them and the dolphin keeper in the huge aquarium breeding pool, he led Z Bao over, the dolphin surfaced in time, he held Z Bao's hand, and slowly touched the dolphin's head.
As soon as he put Z Bao's hand on its head, the dolphin chirped lowly, Z Bao did not resist, nor was he afraid, seeing that she was not afraid, Shen Wei slowly let go of her hand. The dolphin was an injured dolphin who was blind in one eye, and the keeper said that it was because of the pollution of the sea that injured its eye.
Shen Wei glanced at Z Bao, she actually took the initiative to gently stroke the dolphin's head, and even took the initiative to put her face next to the dolphin's head, the dolphin whispered from time to time, Z Bao closed her eyes and seemed to be thinking about something, as if she was asleep, her slender eyelashes were lazily drooping on her face, and her long black hair was scattered at random, reflecting the dolphin and her white dress, which was even whiter.
He couldn't bear to disturb her, silently stepped aside, and watched from a distance as they were close to each other's heads, Z Bao should have never taken such an initiative to get close to the outside world.
In this way, Z Bao and the dolphin stayed quietly for a long time, and Shen Wei in the distance inadvertently found the smile on her lips, she smiled? Shen Wei was a little incredulous, blinked, and looked carefully, Z Bao really smiled.
He pulled out his phone and kept the moment in his phone forever. Shen Wei couldn't help but be a little secretly glad that He Yu probably hadn't seen this woman he had protected since he was a child.
Thinking of this, Shen Wei couldn't help but smile.
Then the dolphin keeper next to him told him, "This dolphin is called Yuanyuan, you can ask the patient to try to call it by name." β
"Good. Shen Wei walked over, leaned into Z Bao's ear, and told her, "Z Bao, this is Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan." As he spoke, he took her hand and lifted it from her round head, trying to inform her.
Z Bao was unmoved, still closed his eyes and silently stroked the dolphin called "Yuanyuan", his face was tightly pressed against its head, as if he was asleep, the dolphin whispered from time to time, at this time Shen Wei was suddenly surprised to find that Z Bao was in tears, and the tears in the corners of her eyes were slowly flowing down her face.
The dolphin keeper on the side walked over and explained: "It is said that the dolphins' voices have a very high range and can travel far away, even if they may not sound loud to our ears at times, but their voices can sometimes pass through many obstacles to communicate with their companions." Many patients come to us like her, sometimes smiling and sometimes crying, maybe the two of them are communicating and we don't know it. β
"I see. β
"Yes, it's better to bring the patient over often, it will help her autism a lot. β
"Okay, thank you. Shen Wei sincerely expressed his gratitude.
It was this dolphin called "Yuanyuan" that made him see the other side of Z Bao, he buried his head in front of him and looked at Z Bao who was smiling and crying, inexplicably a little distressed, in her completely closed world, there was no sound, no things, and no emotion.
All she had might be was boundless darkness and silence, and loneliness.
He may really understand now, why He Yu is so attentive to her, that kind of boundless loneliness and darkness, He Yu also had.
Out of the gate of the aquarium, Shen Wei still couldn't help but think about the scene where she saw Z Baoxiao just now, maybe she was not a wooden person, she was just trapped, lonely on that distant star, looking for a way out.
Thinking like this, he didn't notice the construction site being under construction on the side, when someone on the side suddenly exclaimed, "Be carefulβ"
"Z Bao!" Shen Wei called.
