6. Chapter VI
Xu Mian still has the smell of tobacco that has not dissipated, Xu Jiashu can smell it at once, Xu Mian rarely smokes in front of children, except for special exceptions.
For example, when that inexplicable woman appeared again, he never thought that after so many years, she would still appear in front of him with an indifferent attitude, those women who seemed to be fluttering in her eyes in the past were not worth mentioning? How could he possibly forgive her, never.
Xu Jiashu pulled his clothes and called softly, "Dad." ”
Xu Mian came back to his senses and rubbed the little guy's face with his chin, the cyan stubble was a little itchy, and Jiashu turned his head away from him, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" ”
Xu Jiashu has always been sensitive, so he asked him in a whisper, Xu Mian shook his head, carried him into the room, covered him with a quilt, Xu Jiashu lay down in a regular manner, revealing a handsome little face, his eyes were clear and black, without a trace of impurities.
When he was about to leave, Xu Jiashu weakly pulled his pants, "Dad, can you sleep with me?" I'm scared alone. ”
Xu Mian hesitated, then nodded, he washed up briefly, and then went to bed, Xu Jiashu hugged his waist with some excitement and didn't let go.
He was a little happy in his heart, he had been sleeping alone for as long as he could remember, and the fat man at the same table said that he had his mother telling him stories every night, and he didn't have his mother to tell him bedtime stories, and even his father had never told him.
"Daddy, can you tell me a bedtime story." He blinked and looked at Xu Mian pleadingly.
Xu Mian's rare overflowing father's love finally became a little impatient under this guy's request to inch inch, and he said irritably: "Is it over?" Sleep your night. ”
Xu Jiashu flattened his mouth and looked at him aggrievedly, "Xiaopang has a mother to tell stories every night, why don't I have it." ”
Xu Mian's head was buzzing, his handsome face was slightly gloomy, and his tone was stern and threatening: "Shut up and sleep." ”
Xu Jiashu really didn't speak, just turned his head angrily, Xu Mian sighed, pulled his small body closer to him, and as soon as he touched his face, he felt that there was a warm liquid on his hand.
Xu Mian was helpless, got up from the bed and pulled out a few pieces of toilet paper, and wiped the tears on his face with a slightly rude movement, the child's skin is thin, and the big man doesn't know the severity, and the place on Xu Jiashu's face that he wiped immediately turned red.
Xu Mian's clothes were messy, his face was gloomy, and he went downstairs and turned over a bottle of Dabao.
squeezed a little and let him wipe it himself, Xu Jiashu was aggrieved, and he did it himself with some resentment, and after he cleaned it up, it was already twelve o'clock.
Xu Mian beckoned him to sleep, he hugged his son, some soft warmth rose in his heart, and suddenly got up and flipped out a fairy tale from the desk.
Xu Jiashu looked at his father secretly, at this moment his father's figure was very tall, like a towering mountain, he sat on the edge of the bed with his feet on his feet, picked up the storybook and flipped it up.
He told him the story of "The Little Boy and the Apple Tree", Xu Jiashu listened to him carefully, Xu Mian's voice was low, revealing a hoarseness, and it was very comfortable to listen to.
After the story was told, Xu Jiashu became a curious baby again, "Why is the apple tree so good to the little boy?" ”
"It's a metaphor for the apple tree as the mother of the world." Xu Mian explained casually, regardless of whether he could understand it or not.
Xu Jiashu looked at him as if he didn't understand, and asked suspiciously: "If the apple tree is his mother, why does he treat his mother so badly?" ”
Xu Mian's head jumped, and he held his forehead, "This story is that children will leave their parents when they grow up, and they will only think of their parents when they are in trouble, but their parents will always be there, doing their best to provide their children with what they need, this story is to let us know to be grateful and love our parents." ”
Xu Jiashu flattened his mouth, and didn't seem to agree with his point of view, and said to himself: "If I had a mother, I could go to make that apple tree." ”
Xu Mian threw the book aside, and said impatiently: "Hurry up and go to bed, Lao Tzu will still go to work tomorrow, you kid can sleep heavily, a white-eyed wolf with no conscience." ”
"You're an old white-eyed wolf." Xu Jiashu replied to him sharply.
Xu Mian was a little irritable, no matter how this kid spoke, he was the same as his unconscionable mother, "Lao Tzu fed you with a handful of and urine, you kid only knows how to make me angry every day." ”
"I didn't grow up with a handful of and urine, I grew up eating." Someone is wronged.
Xu Mian held his forehead and was speechless for an instant.
~~
Jing Yu originally thought that Chu Shenyuan's sentence of having time to talk again was just a polite excuse, but he didn't expect him to call her on the third day, Jing Yu felt a little nervous holding the phone.
Chu Shenyuan asked, "Miss Jing, I don't know if you have time at night, I want to ask you out for a meal." ”
"Yes, where?"
"I'll let the driver pick you up after you get off work in the evening, right?"
Jing Yu hung up the phone, still feeling a little unbelievable, and the whole person was as light as stepping on the clouds.
After getting off work, she slipped away with oil on the soles of her feet, and when she got downstairs, a young man came over and asked with a humble attitude, "Miss Jing, is it?" ”
Jing Yu nodded, "It's me." ”
The young man opened the car door, held the roof of the car and let her get into the car, the car drove all the way to a high-end hotel, Jing Yu got out of the car, and a waiter received her, Jing Yu reported Chu Shenyuan's name, and the waiter led her all the way to the private room.
Politely ask her, "What do you want to drink?" ”
Jing Yu casually ordered a glass of juice, Chu Shenyuan hadn't arrived yet, Jing Yu waited for a few minutes, Chu Shenyuan was late, and as soon as he entered the house, he apologized with a smile, "I'm sorry to be late, there are some things that I can't get away with for a while." ”
Jing Yu shook his head, "It's okay, I've only been there for a while." ”
Chu Shenyuan immediately called the waiter to order, Jing Yu was not very familiar with here, so Chu Shenyuan was responsible for ordering, he ordered a few classic dishes of the restaurant, and after the waiter went down, he said to her with a smile: "I don't know what you like to eat, so I ordered some on my own." ”
He was so polite, Jing Yu hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, you are too polite." ”
The dishes are very fast, the dishes are exquisite, the fragrance is tangy, and it makes people appetize.
Jing Yu took the public chopsticks, picked a piece of taro and put it in the bowl, it was soft and refreshing, it melted in the mouth, it was very delicious, when she closed her eyes and enjoyed the food, her face was relaxed, with a little cunning, like a lazy cat.
Chu Shenyuan looked at her in a daze, but it was only for a short time, and after a few seconds, he regained his smiling expression, and said with a smile: "My daughter also likes the food in this restaurant, and I guess you like it too." ”
Jing Yu's heart was sour, she had seen his daughter, who was about the same age as herself, but she was very favored by him.
Jing Yu thought that if she had the opportunity, she would go home, and then tell her mother, "I saw my father, he is very handsome and happy." ”
But she couldn't do anything, and after she was kicked out of the house at the age of eighteen, she hadn't been home for eight years.
At the beginning, her stepfather Lu Xingyun would occasionally call her, but she mostly cut off the phone, and then he stopped calling, maybe her mother was just too disappointed in her, she was surprised that her daughter would do such a depraved thing one day, so that sometimes she couldn't even forgive her blood relationship.
The meal was very harmonious, and the man was polite, elegant and gentlemanly, and well-informed and humorous, and he could interject whatever she said.
After the main meal, the waiter brought snacks and tea, Jing Yu's body was crooked, and who knew that a cup of hot tea was sprinkled on his chest.
The waiter kept apologizing to her at a loss, Jing Yu even said that it didn't matter, she went to the bathroom to dry her skirt with a hand dryer, and her chest was flushed.
Although the skirt was dry, the obvious tea stains on the chest were very conspicuous on the white cotton skirt, and Jing Yu was very embarrassed for a while.
After returning to the room, Chu Shenyuan didn't say anything, Jing Yu didn't like to eat sweet food, so she almost didn't move the dessert after the meal.
Before leaving, Chu Shenyuan picked up the coat on the back of the chair and handed it to Jing Yu, "Put on my clothes." ”
Jing Yu was stunned and nodded.
The gray blazer is very wide on her body, like a child stealing adult clothes, such a scene may be a little ambiguous when placed on someone else's body, but Jing Yu is a little moved in her heart, maybe it is for a strange thing called father's love.
The two came out of the box and met Xu Mian and a slightly familiar beauty, and when the beauty saw Chu Shenyuan, she exclaimed in surprise, "Dad? ”
She looked at Jing Yu with a little meaning, Xu Mian greeted Chu Shenyuan with an indifferent expression, but his gaze at Jing Yu was even colder, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, with some obvious sarcasm.
Chu Xinwei was also very embarrassed, and after the two sides separated, she vaguely remembered that she had seen this woman at the last time at the cocktail party.
She could remember Jing Yu completely thanks to Jing Yu's beautiful and amazing face, so that she remembered it at the time just by looking at it, but she didn't expect to meet again on such an occasion today.
The Chu family is a big family, although her father is no longer young, but there will always be all kinds of girls younger than her to come up, she is not surprised by this, and therefore, she has a very bad impression of this beautiful girl in her heart.
She shrugged helplessly and said to Xu Mian: "Today's young girls, as long as they see a rich person, no matter how old they are, they can make up for it." ”
Chu Xinwei didn't notice at all that Xu Mian's face next to him was gloomy at the moment, and the iron was terrifying.
