Chapter Twenty-Three: Aren't We Fated Enough?
Mu Yan took the tissue, the more she wiped her tears, the more she didn't fight, and she shed more, she simply squatted down and whimpered quietly for a while. Adjust yourself for a long time.
"Zhang Chao, when I met you today, I realized that the high school years were so far away from us. Since it's in the past, let's forget about it, let go of ourselves, and let go of the people who accompany us, otherwise it will be unfair to them, what do you say? ”
Zhang Chao looked at his wife and daughter not far away, and a hint of softness flashed in his eyes: "You are right, since things have been wrong in the past, then cherish the present and cherish the people around us who love us." After saying that, he took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and put it in his mouth.
"You're smoking now?" Mu Yan looked at his skillful movements, and he was clearly a veteran smoker.
"That's after Yao Fang left, every time in the dead of night, I always feel empty in my heart, and gradually I get used to it, and now I can't quit if I want to, sometimes the pressure is greater, but it can make me forget my troubles." Zhang Chao smiled bitterly as he spoke.
"Zhang Chao, we will all have a long way to go in the future, we always have to look forward, the past is certainly not forgotten, but I am still grateful that you have appeared by my side in the past, no matter what the future holds, thank you for appearing in my life, but I will not deny my future life because of a past injury, each stage of life will have a different mission, what we have to do is to grasp each stage in the future, although it will still hurt when I think of the past." She seems to be convincing Zhang Chao, but she is also convincing herself.
"Mu Yan, do you still have news of Yao Fang now, after she left, all the ways to contact her have changed QQ, WeChat, and mobile phone numbers, all of them have changed, you women are sometimes really ruthless." Zhang Chao's emotions suddenly became excited.
"No, I've forgotten all the people and things in the past." Mu Yan's face was silent.
"Haven't you even thought about looking for Zilong? If you say look for him, I can give you his contact information right now. Zhang Chao asked.
"Zhang Chao, your wife and children are still waiting for you, you hurry up and accompany them, don't worry about those meaningless things, everything is meaningless, many things have already deteriorated, we can't go back after all, it's better to leave a thought for the past, don't destroy the atmosphere of the past, it's okay to say I'm timid, I don't have the courage to face the past."
Mu Yan looked at Zhang Chao with a helpless expression: "It's almost time, I should leave too, you should hurry up and see your child." "Prepare to leave.
"Mu Yan--" Zhang Chao's heavy voice blocked Mu Yan's steps.
"Do you remember Yu Huan and Wu Wei in high school?"
Mu Yan was silent for a while, looking at him, as if waiting for the next step.
"They got married, and they were the only couple of us who came together. The last time I met them on the street, they were happy. Zhang Chao suddenly wanted to tell Mu Yan about this, although he wasn't sure if Mu Yan wanted to know about it.
"Zhang Chao, happiness needs to be fought for by ourselves, whether it is the first love or the current one, we all have to cherish it, strive for our happiness, manage our own life well, and wish you happiness." After saying that, he left without looking back.
Mu Yan knows that everyone understands all the truths, and there is no need to remind him too much, maybe these truths are also said to herself, she knows that she has worked hard to strive for her own happiness. However, there is always a time when the power is inadequate, after all, the truth is the truth, the feelings are the feelings, if the feelings have become rational, then what kind of feelings are they?
When he returned to Qiao Hai, he and Xiao Doudou were already applying the reverse side of the little white plaster.
"Why did you go for so long?" Qiao Hai asked casually while applying plaster.
Mu Yan was just about to answer, but the little nephew interjected: "Auntie, who is the uncle who just talked to you?" ”
Mu Yan was stunned for a moment, and had a feeling of being a thief, could it be that he had just seen her talking to Zhang Chao?
"Oh, just now Xiao Doudou saw that you haven't come back, so he clamored to find you......" Qiao Hai quickly explained.
"In this way, I just met a high school classmate, so I chatted a few more words." Mu Yan's heart was weak for a while, and she didn't know if he had just seen her gaffe.
In order to test how much Qiao Hai had just seen, whether he had approached, and in order to change the topic, he hurriedly said: "Among my high school classmates, there is a couple who have a very good game getting married, from high school to college to graduation, don't you think it's very enviable?" ”
"What's there, it can only show that they are very fateful, and this kind of thing, being able to be together means that they are very fateful, if you can't be together in the end, you should accept it calmly, because it just shows that your fate with him in this life is not enough." Qiao Hai was still concentrating on applying plaster.
But Mu Yan didn't think this man had seen something just now.
Then Qiao Hai raised his head and looked at Mu Yan with a ruffian: "Do you say that our fate is very sufficient?" ”
Mu Yan cut it and helped hand over the paint.
After working for a while, the big white plaster was finally painted, not so much for children to play, but for adults to play, except for the beginning of Xiaodoudou to paint a few times, the rest are almost all Qiao Haitu, Xiaodoudou is more like a supervisor, sitting on the small bench next to him, while eating snacks, while urging him to paint, Qiao Hai looked at the little adult-like baby, and felt helpless for a while.
Because the park is not far from home, when they came out, three people jumped out, and when they went back, the little guy stretched out his arm to let him hug.
Qiao Haibian coaxed him and said, this way, you go to the gate of the park and hug it again.
Then the little guy started to walk two steps and started to cry out that his legs hurt, and after two more steps he started to cry out about his feet hurt, which really made him angry and funny.
"Why are the children so treacherous now?" Qiao Hai said as he squatted down and picked up Xiao Doudou.
"This shows that the baby is very smart now, how can you use the word treacherous to describe the child?" Mu Yan heard Qiao Hai talking about her little nephew, so she just stuffed the words back.
Xiao Doudou lay in Qiao Hai's arms, and after a while, he fell asleep. Although Qiao Hai didn't look at him, he obviously felt that the weight on his body had increased a lot. Although the park is not far from home, it is not so close, hey, I can only blame myself, who said that he came up with a bad idea to take him out to play.
Mu Yan looked at the big and small ones walking in front, and suddenly felt that it would be good if one day he had a baby with Qiao Hai, and the way he held the child was still quite warm.
While thinking about it, he picked up his phone and filmed this scene......
