195. Chapter XXXIV
"I gave my Barbie doll to Lilia, this is my favorite one," Lili reluctantly handed the Barbie doll in a white wedding dress to Lilia in Cui Qi's arms: "Lilia will definitely become a beautiful bride in the future!" She blessed.
Cui Qi: "......" faced with the first guest after moving into his new home, he was a little cautious. But apparently Lilia didn't know anything about him, and she laughed happily, babbling, and reached out to grab Barbie. Her hand couldn't grasp the big thing, grabbed it twice, she kicked her foot excitedly and patted the Barbie doll, seeing her poking out her head and salivaing and wanting to bite the Barbie doll handed over by Lili, Cui Qi quickly reached out to block her head.
"You have to look at it, there will be such a day," Wilson patted Cui on the shoulder and said, "There will be such a day, you know?" When my Sophia got a boyfriend, I just wanted to beat up that bastard! β
"I understand very well, because I really want to beat up your little ghost right now," Cui Qi blinked, looking at the eldest son of the Wilson family who kissed Lilia, and said, "Can I ask your son to stay away from my Lilia?" β
"Hey! Don't call me a ghost! You're only six years older than me! Adams grinned and protested, he reached out and shook Lilia's little hand, asking, "She's a little beauty, can I hug him?" β
"Don't even think about it!" Cui Xuan glared at him.
"All right," Adams shrugged and gave a regretful kiss, "I'll see you later, Lilia!" Lilia giggled, and she shook her arms and let out a "ahh
"It's disgusting! Adams, you're going to spew hormones at those flirtatious chicks! Sophia pushed Adams away and handed out her gift: "This is a cartoon bib I made, I think she'll love it!" β
"Thank you, Sophia, the bib looks good," Cui Qi laughed, turned her head sideways and asked Lilia, "Lilia, do you like it?" β
"Wow!" Lilia opened her little mouth and shook her little body, and she grabbed the pink floral bib.
"Keeley, can I hug her?" Sophia blinked wide-eyed and asked him cautiously.
Cui Qi smiled, smiling very brightly, he bent his knee slightly and handed Lilia to Sophia.
"I'm going to hug it too! I'm going to hug little Lilia too! Six-year-old Lili jumped up and stretched out her hand to hug Lilia, but was carried back by Adams halfway: "Is this a game of seven dwarfs?" Lili, you better take your Barbie doll obediently! β
Lili slapped Adams' hand away in displeasure, and she pouted and complained, "Daddy! Addams bullies! β
"Alright, alright!" Wilson spread his hands to Cui Qi, and reluctantly mediated the conflict between the children.
"You don't look good," said Mrs. Wilson, who was dressed in a long blue and white porcelain dress, and handed Cui some homemade biscuits.
"Lilia always doesn't sleep at night," Cui Qi smiled bitterly, where is it as easy as he thinks to raise a baby, he has to feed the paste when he is hungry, and he has to change diapers when he pulls, for several days, Cui Qi has not slept well by her.
"I understand that raising a child is very hard," Mrs. Wilson hugged him and gave him a closet gift: "You're just a child, you'll be fine." β
Cui Qi was a little uncomfortable, he knew Mrs. Wilson's kindness, he smiled, invited Mrs. Wilson in, and then he looked at the ** with a large object on the shelf, and blinked apologetically: "Hi, **...... Well...... I know I've been in a terrible state lately and I've slowed down the shoot, so I'm sorry. β
"I'm not going to talk about business today," ** shook his head: "I'll settle accounts with you next time!" He came in with a large object: "This is my gift, baby spinning bell, I think Lilia will like it, you can hang it on the side of the crib, do you need me to hang it for you?" β
"Is it big?" Cui asked, estimating the length and width of the thing and looking at Lilia's crib.
"Moving here?" ** Straight into the bedroom with the spinning bell: "Keeley, I need hammers and nails, I think you can help ......" He heard Lilia's cry, shrugged and shook his head: "Okay, you're Addams, aren't you?" Can you do me a favor? β
"Hey! Keeley, Lilia owes me a kiss," Adams gave Lilia a flying kiss and took the hammer and nail into the bedroom.
"Don't even think about it!" Cui Qi replied to Adams, and hurriedly took out a diaper to change it for Lilia.
"You look much more skilled," Wilson complimented him, not wanting to look up at the sky with a puff of mouth. In this strange country, there are strange neighbors and strange policemen, there are neighbors who keep warning him about disturbing the people because of the baby's crying, and there are also policemen who are enthusiastic about teaching him how to change baby diapers correctly.
Cui Qi, who really took care of his children, also had all kinds of troubles. He still has a job during the day, and if Henry and Sally want to meet Lilia he takes her to the Thurwell mansion, but more often than not, Lilia is at the daycare. As soon as she was weaned, Winnie flew to Gallic to shoot a new film, and asked the nanny Cui Qi to be relieved and unable to accept the American way of care, and the dilemma of being a doppelganger always made him homesick, and he wanted to return to China.
"Maybe you can emigrate?" When Wilson proposed this kind of construction, Cui shook his head and had no idea about it, a country that made him have no sense of identity, there was no need at all. The welfare system cannot hide the money-based nature, the rich and the powerful manipulate the rules of society, and there is always something essential that has not changed, no matter where or in what era. He misses the Tang Dynasty, it has never changed, the sense of identity buried in his heart is flooded with all kinds of memories, maybe when he was young, there was more anger and hatred in addition to nostalgia, time has passed too long, the more he understands life, gradually, the hatred and anger faded, and he remembered more memories, Yunjin Chang'an, the prosperous Tang Dynasty, he clearly knew that a qiΔ had dissipated in history and would never be seen again.
"Nine days to open the palace, all countries to worship the crown", Cui Qi hugged Lilia and read this poem, he smiled and kissed Lilia's forehead gently: "Xuan, your name is Cui Xuan, take the word Shengjin." Lilia didn't understand what he was saying, she smiled happily and grabbed the buttons of his shirt with a "babble" cry. She was able to stand up, her little feet wrapped in soft shoes on his lap, and she took two steps against the support of his arm, and in two small steps she fell against his chest, her forehead hit the button, and she cried "wow".
"Don't cry, don't cry......" Cui Qi checked her head and saw that there was a small red mark, and she couldn't do it distressed, she kneaded and dressed, and only then did she relax when she saw that the red mark subsided.
"Keeley, can you?" During the shooting, ** asked him if he could stabilize his feelings and finish filming a new scene. In this scene, Winder is sent to a psychiatric hospital, he protests by self-harming, he is put on a boxing cap to eat, he has his front teeth pulled out because the caregivers think his teeth will hurt him, the people around him are indifferent, but there are always people, a little light in the darkness.
"OK," Cui Qi nodded, he closed his eyes and was silent for a while, and when he opened them again, he was Wende. The nurses in the psychiatric hospital indifferently dropped bread without even a glass of water, and Winder slapped the table in protest, but they thought he was going to make trouble, and he was tied up, boxed and stuffed with bread in his mouth...... Cui Qi was very steady, and he was even a little restrained, ** frowned, and was about to stop and start again, but suddenly, Cui Qi lost control.
The feeling was very uncomfortable, he remembered those days, he was locked up in the research institute, he frantically sabotaged him and escaped again and again, he was locked in the intensive care ward and was caught and restrained for electric shock therapy, the moment he was caught by the actor who played the nurse, for a moment, he was in a trance, as if it was a reappearance of the past, he shouted hoarsely, as if to vent all the feelings buried in his heart, he was homesick, he missed his grandmother, remembered the days of the past that could not be returned, and tears moistened his eyes irrepressibly.
Winder broke free from the caretakers and ran out. This scene is not in the script, several theater personnel exchanged glances and looked at the director in unison, ** quickly gave instructions, signaling the cameraman to follow the camera.
For a moment he couldn't tell the difference between himself and Wende, the feeling of empathy stirred his heart, and his heart was sour, and then he thought of Lilia, ah, he wasn't Wende.
Winder fell to his knees in front of the fence door, swaying and climbing, but there was nothing he could do, he fell to his knees in front of the door and shouted hoarsely, as if to vent all his anger and hurt. "I ...... No...... Plants......" he said, looking at the caretakers with those black eyes begging, but no one cared about him.
βGreat!β ** cheered and announced the end of work, and the staff on the set packed up their belongings, only Cui Qi was still kneeling there, climbing the door, and bending down little by little.
"I need ......some time," he told the director's assistant, feeling very uncomfortable because of the loss of emotional control, and for a long, long time, he maintained this position and remained motionless, and then he covered his eyes for a while before he raised his head again.
"Keeley, are you okay?"
"Well, that's good, I have to pick up Lilia," Cui shook her head and got into her car. Then he lay on the steering wheel, and for a while, he couldn't control his feelings.
