"He's not coming, let's light the candles." Pei Shuyi smiled casually, and said in a very gentle voice, she handed the candle in her hand to Yan Qiao, and Duan Xuchu walked over there and turned off part of the lights in the restaurant.

Yan Qiao saw that his mother didn't care very much, and he was not sad, so he responded crisply, and then inserted six candles on the beautiful cake one by one, the bright candle flame reflected the faces of Yan Qiao and Duan Xuchu, Yan Qiao reached out and grabbed his mother and Chu Chu respectively, "Let's blow out the candles together." ”

"Okay." Pei Shuyi and Duan Xuchu responded in unison, the three of them leaned over together and gently blew out the candles, Yan Qiao hurriedly withdrew his hands and put them together, closed his eyes, and under the flickering of the candle, he made a wish very seriously and reverently, and read it out, "I want to be good friends with Chu Chu for life, and marry my sister to Chu Chu as his wife in the future; Mom wants to be forever young and be the most beautiful and happiest woman in the world............"

Pei Shuyi and Duan Xuchu didn't tell Yan Qiao that if he read it, his wish would not come true, anyway, it was just a kind of sustenance in his heart, Yan Qiao was still reading the third wish, but his lips moved, but he didn't make a sound.

Duan Xuchu knew that Yan Qiao would not hide anything, but now that Yan Qiao didn't say it, he felt that he should have guessed correctly, Duan Xuchu looked at Yan Qiao's face that was beautifully illuminated by the soft light, and he suddenly felt a little sad.

Yan Qiao is a year older, he is still happy and innocent, for Pei Shuyi, this is enough, every time she wants to shed tears, watching her children grow up year by year, it is too happy.

Pei Shuyi opened her face to wipe away the tears that had fallen, and then handed the plastic knife that cut the cake to Yan Qiao, who took it and carefully cut off the top pink rose, and gave it to Pei Shuyi with both hands, "I just said that the moment every child comes to this world is the most painful time for my mother, so I want to honor my mother for this first cake, and I will do this every year in the future, thank my mother for bringing me to this world and raising me for six years." Mommy I love you ............"

Duan Xuchu applauded at the right time, Pei Shuyi covered her mouth, tears rained down, she squatted down and hugged Yan Qiao's head, hugged him tightly, Pei Shuyi choked up and said: "Thank you Yan Qiao for being so tenacious when you were in your mother's belly, and you survived the three years of illness." Yanqiao, mom loves you too. ”

She always sighed at the magic of life, when she decided to remove this child who should not come, what she saw from the instrument was just an embryo, and it was not good to look when she stayed in the incubator, and six years passed in the blink of an eye, and the little embryo at that time grew into such a beautiful and well-behaved child at this moment, life is really the greatest.

Yan Qiao cut the second cake and put it in the place where Pei Tingqing often sits, "Although you didn't come over to my birthday banquet tonight, Uncle Instructor, I still left a piece of cake for you to eat when you come back." Even if you are very insidious, Uncle Instructor, always taking revenge on me and giving me little shoes, it does not affect my liking and adoring you. I hope you can pursue my mother and be with her, as for whether you can succeed or not, that's your own business, thank you for taking care of me in the past few years. ”

After speaking, Yan Qiao solemnly bent down and bowed, then cut the third cake and handed it to Duan Xuchu, he clenched his fist and stretched out to Chu Chu, "Although Chu Chu always bullies me and doesn't like to take care of me, I also like you very much, as for what you said about me taking away your first kiss, let my sister give it back to you for you in the future, let's play happily all the time." ”

Duan Xuchu: "............"

Can you not mention the first kiss? And he used his sister to coax him all day long, where is his sister? When Yanqiao's sister is born, will he be old? However, Yan Qiao finally stopped quibbling and could tell the difference between kissing and artificial respiration, Duan Xuchu took the cake with one hand, and slapped the other hand on Yan Qiao's clenched fist, "Okay, I'll wait for your sister." ”

Pei Shuyi's eyes were sour when she heard this, Yan Qiao smiled happily, took the cake handed by her mother, sat down on the dining chair, turned her head to Chu Chu beside her and said, "Let's eat cake." ”

"Hmm." Duan Xuchu responded to Yan Qiao gently, Pei Shuyi sat opposite the two children and ate together, occasionally looked at the empty position on her side, and felt more and more that the cake she ate was not sweet at all, but taking into account Yan Qiao's feelings, she still pretended to be very happy to finish eating.

Then Yan Qiao cut a large piece and handed it to her, and after asking, she was sure that she didn't want it, Yan Qiao cut the second piece for Chu Chu, and Chu Chu also said that he was full.

Yan Qiao nodded, squinted his eyes and asked Chu Chu with a smile, "Are you sure?" Before Chu Chu could react, he picked up the remaining half of the cake and slapped it directly on Chu Chu's head, fast, accurate, ruthless, simple and rough has always been his style.

The cream flowed down Duan Xuchu's dark hair, Duan Xuchu maintained that posture as if petrified, and after a while, he wiped a handful of cakes on his face with his hands, and then grabbed the chin of Yan Qiao, who was still getting carried away, and stuffed the ball of cake into Yan Qiao's mouth.

Yan Qiao dodged and tried to push Duan Xuchu away, exclaiming that Chu Chu didn't wash your face, the cake on your face was so dirty, but in the end, he still didn't avoid it, and the ball of cake was stuffed into his mouth.

Hatsuchu forced him to swallow it, and he was not to be outdone and reached out to grab Hatsuchu's face............ So the two of them scuffled on the ground, not to mention that there were cakes all over their clothes and bodies, and even the floor was covered in cream under their tumbling.

Yan Qiao was at a disadvantage in terms of figure, and suffered a big loss, his voice changed hoarsely, and he shouted hoarsely to his mother to save him and help him beat Chu Chu together, Pei Shuyi glanced at Yan Qiao, who finally poked his head out from under the table, and his whole face was green.

She was immediately amused by the two children, sat there and continued to eat the cake, leisurely watching the two children fight, Pei Shuyi occasionally shouted, "Come on, Ah Chu, Yan Qiao always betrays me, you help me teach him a lesson." ”

Yan Qiao: "............", (Are you my own mother?) You didn't pick me up from the beach, did you? ）

Duan Xuchu responded to Pei Shuyi, "I know." ”

Yan Qiao suddenly felt that Chu Chu was too good at stammering people to find a backer, he hurriedly raised his hand in surrender, sat under the dining table and pointed at Pei Shuyi, he meant, "We formed an alliance and knocked my mother down together, who asked her not to help us plead with the instructor uncle on weekdays, and now the opportunity for revenge has come." If she gets angry, I'll take it myself. ”

Of course, Duan Xuchu didn't believe what Yan Qiao said about taking it by himself, which time had nothing to do with him, and Yan Qiao didn't pull him into the water? But it was useless for him to protest, so he had to raise his hand and gently clap his hands with Yan Qiao.

Then the two stood up from under the table, and while Pei Shuyi was still watching the battle, Yan Qiao stepped forward and hugged Pei Shuyi's neck at once, and rubbed all the cakes in her hair and face into her mother's neck.

Pei Shuyi's reaction was very fast, and then she put Yan Qiao across her knees, and symbolically slapped Yan Qiao's ass, Yan Qiao kicked her two calves and complained: "Mom violates the rules of the game, she can only wipe the cake, and she is not allowed to spank people's butts, which is too embarrassing............", while shouting, he couldn't break free, Yan Qiao had to let Chu Chu's accomplice save him.

Duan Xuchu slowly retreated from Yan Qiao's gaze, and then calmly turned around and walked to the bathroom.

Yan Qiao: "............"

He looked at Chu Chu's back in despair and anger, Chu Chu, a traitor, what about the alliance?

Later, Yan Qiao and Duan Xuchu took the initiative to help Pei Shuyi clean up the restaurant, and it was almost eleven o'clock after cleaning everything, Pei Shuyi and the other two children took a bath, and then lay down on the bed, she turned off the bedside bed for them, and after closing the door from the outside, Pei Shuyi walked into Pei Tingqing's room.

She sat on the big bed after washing, her mobile phone was not turned off again, and she was expecting Pei Tingqing to call all night, or he, like many nights before, quietly opened the door and came in after she fell asleep, lying beside her, bending her arms and holding her into her arms, but until the sky outside was bright, Pei Shuyi did not wait for Pei Tingqing.

She hugged her legs with her arms, her chin rested on her knees, her figure on the big bed, tears slipped from her eyes, and slowly wet her whole face, Pei Shuyi suddenly didn't know if she still had the need to stay here.

In the bedroom next door, Duan Xuchu woke up in the middle of the night when he slept until midnight, and on weekdays, Yan Qiao would hug his shoulders tightly, and sleep with his head against his chest, and before he opened his eyes at the moment, he could feel that there was no one beside him.

The bedside light was on, Duan Xuchu thought that Yan Qiao had gone to the bathroom, but he heard a slight sobbing sound in the silent room, Duan Xuchu's back stiffened, he sat up from the bed and followed the source of the sound, only to see Yan Qiao standing in front of the glass window over there, the light was a little dim, Duan Xuchu could only see Yan Qiao's small shoulders trembling.

What happened to him? Duan Xuchu frowned, gently lifted the quilt and got out of bed, in order to avoid startling Yan Qiao, he didn't wear shoes, stood barefoot and silently behind Yan Qiao, and looked down from Yan Qiao's shoulder through his taller figure than Yan Qiao.

Yan Qiao is holding a photo in his hand, the picture is a sea of tulips, surging like waves, in a small space Pei Tingqing hugged Pei Shuyi's shoulder, Pei Shuyi snuggled up to Pei Tingqing's chest, she only showed half of her side face, and the two of them clasped together, the ring on the ring finger shining in the sunset, it was really the best-looking pair of men and women in the world, the whole scene was very beautiful, and the affection in the eyes of the two could be seen at a glance.

Duan Xuchu saw this photo on the bedside table in the instructor's bedroom, and Yan Qiao also asked why the instructor's uncle had a photo of his parents, and the instructor's answer was that he was good friends with Yan Qiao's father, so Yan Qiao stole this photo?

Yan Qiao is thinking about his father, right? Just like the last wish he had just made, Duan Xuchu was sure that Yan Qiao hoped that their family of three could live together.

Big tears smashed on the photo that Yan Qiao was holding in his hand, he occasionally wiped his face with the back of his hand, immersed in the emotion of missing his father, and never noticed Duan Xuchu standing behind, Duan Xuchu only felt that his eyes were also hot, he raised his palm and wanted to put it on Yan Qiao's shoulder, but finally slowly withdrew it.

Everyone saw Yan Qiao's happy and heartless side, and Yan Qiao definitely didn't want others to spy on the fragility of his heart, let alone let anyone, including Duan Xuchu and Pei Shuyi, see him crying when he was unhappy, so Duan Xuchu didn't bother Yan Qiao, he just stood quietly behind Yan Qiao and accompanied Yan Qiao.

Yan Qiao cried for a long, long time, and then Duan Xuchu returned to the bed, lay there and saw Yan Qiao go to the bathroom, and when he came out again, his face had been washed and dried, he opened the drawer and hid the photo, then went to bed and lifted the quilt, turned off the light, and Yan Qiao lay down next to Duan Xuchu again.

This time Duan Xuchu pretended to be asleep, turned over and bent his arms to hug Yan Qiao's shoulders, Yan Qiao hugged his waist as a matter of course, and buried his head in his chest, and soon Duan Xuchu heard Yan Qiao's shallow breathing, and he looked down at Yan Qiao's sleeping face.

The moonlight outside the glass window sprinkled over, and there was hoarfrost at night, reflecting the moonlight, the room was brighter than usual, Duan Xuchu saw a crystal liquid flowing out of Yan Qiao's eyes, and listened to Yan Qiao muttering in his sleep, "Dad, I miss you so much, I still want Dad............"

Duan Xuchu reached out to wipe the tears on Yan Qiao's face, his other palm patted Yan Qiao's back, remembering that when he called his mother in a coma after being rescued, someone in his ear had been tirelessly responding to him, Duan Xuchu lowered his head and kissed Yan Qiao's forehead, he whispered to Yan Qiao: "Your father will come back............"

***

Ning Lianmeng sat under the bedside lamp, looking at Pei Tingqing's face in sleep with a faint smile on her lips, he was really good-looking, just this face didn't know how many women were infatuated with, she was also very infatuated, more than any other woman.

After a while, Ning Lianmeng took out a glass test tube, which contained a transparent liquid, and the person told her that in the way of others, and from her own body, how Pei Tingqing dealt with her a few years ago, Pei Tingqing would never have thought that she would use this medicine on him tonight.

And Ning Lianmeng was sure that Pei Tingqing was drunk, coupled with a cold and fever, and was in the most drowsy state at the moment, and he couldn't wake up for a while, Ning Lianmeng opened the test tube, poured it down, and poured the liquid into Pei Tingqing's mouth.

Then Ning Lianmeng took off her clothes, lifted the quilt and lay down beside Pei Tingqing.

When Pei Ting woke up the next day, he was lying on the bed in the bedroom, Ning Lianmeng was not there, Pei Tingqing only felt a splitting headache, his mind was blank, the only thing he remembered was that he was lingering with Pei Shuyi in the dream, Pei Shuyi hugged his shoulder, called his name and said those three words "I love you"............ Pei Tingqing curled his lips self-deprecatingly, it was really just a dream, after all, in reality, he had never heard Pei Shuyi's confession until now.

Pei Tingqing sat up from the bed with a sore forehead, and when he lifted the quilt, he was neatly dressed, but he obviously felt that his lower body was wet somewhere, so how much did he miss Pei Shuyi, and he could be high in a dream?

Pei Tingqing walked to the bathroom, came out of the room after washing, went downstairs to the restaurant to have breakfast, Pei Zongyou and Ning Lianmeng were there, after the four of them greeted each other, Pei Tingqing sat down on the dining chair beside Ning Lianmeng.

Ning Lianmeng pushed the breakfast to Pei Tingqing's hand, and asked with a smile and concern: "Have you gotten rid of your fever, are you better?" If you still can't go to work, continue to rest at home today. After speaking, Ning Lianmeng looked at Pei Zongyou, "Dad, you said yes, right?" ”

"Hmm." Pei Zongyou responded gently, Huo Huiyuan took the coffee for a moment, her face gradually sank, and she raised her eyes and glanced at Pei Tingqing opposite worriedly.

Pei Tingqing had no expression as usual, drinking the milk that Huo Huiyuan prepared for him, he was still calm, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry." ”

Later, Pei Tingqing still went to work in the company, and sat in the car halfway to send a message to Pei Shuyi, the smile on his lips was doting and gentle, "Morning Shuyi, I dreamed of you last night." I miss you so much............"

After sending it, when he arrived at the company, Pei Tingqing still did not receive a reply from Pei Shuyi, Pei Tingqing called with a frown and reminded Pei Shuyi that the phone was turned off.

Pei Tingqing was suddenly a little flustered, and he could only comfort himself that Pei Shuyi should still be sleeping and hadn't woken up yet, so he waited uneasily for a morning, and Pei Shuyi replied at noon, "I miss you too." ", a very perfunctory few words, and did not explain why the phone was turned off, even if it was a sentence that the phone was out of battery.

Pei Tingqing only felt that his heart felt like he had been stabbed by a knife and suddenly hurt, he closed the office door, stood in front of the glass window, called the phone, and asked softly and in a low voice after connecting: "Shuyi, have you had lunch?" ”

"Just ate it." On the phone, Pei Shuyi stood on the terrace on the third floor, looking up at the blue sky, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, there were rows of geese flying by, crossing beautiful traces in the sky, Pei Shuyi only felt that her heart was also desolate and gloomy, but there was a smile on her lips, she asked Pei Tingqing casually: "Big brother, have you forgotten what day yesterday was?" ”

Pei Tingqing was speechless when he heard this, "I ............", he remembered that yesterday was Yan Qiao's birthday, and he wanted to explain to Pei Shuyi that he really couldn't go back, but even he found that his excuse was so pale, which would only hurt Pei Shuyi even more, he chose to be silent and didn't speak for a long time.

"I see." Pei Shuyi said such a bitter and understanding sentence again, she bit her lip and tried not to let the tears fall, but her voice revealed her true emotions, "You are busy, I will stay here, because Yan Qiao is here, and when you are willing to give him to me one day, I will leave." As for the two of us............"

She paused.

Pei Tingqing's lips were pale, and he pursed them tightly, he clenched his fists, his eyes were already blood-red, and he listened to Pei Shuyi in silence as he continued, "I think I really can't be your lover, I really tried, but it turns out that I failed." I can forgive you, so please take into account my feelings, and the relationship between the two of us should go back to the two years before that. That's all, take care of yourself, let me be quiet, and don't bother me again. ”

After saying that, Pei Shuyi hung up, she turned off her mobile phone, and slowly squatted on the ground holding on to the white jade railing, tears flowing out unscrupulously.
