Can you, can you let him go first

"Are you about to get off work, can I talk to you, I think we can change places, what do you say?" Liu Jinyan's tone was very official, and Song Li couldn't see her temper, just nodded slightly.
"Okay, I'll go in and get my bag."
"Okay, I see there's a small café opposite your design institute, I'll wait for you there." After Liu Jinyan finished speaking, he saw Song Li turn around and go back to the office, and he also went downstairs.
Ten minutes later, Song Li took the bag and saw Liu Jinyan sitting by the window.
"I'm sorry, I didn't ask you what you liked, so I ordered a cup of Americano for you, I don't know if you like it or not." Liu Jinyan put down his coffee cup and smiled.
Song Li put down the bag and looked at the cup, but he only smiled slightly.
"You, what are you looking for me?" Song Li opened his mouth first.
"Oh, I went to Chang'an two days ago, and I think it's still good here, but the environment is worse, after all, in the past two years, China has been talking about haze, and it's the same everywhere you want, and these are not good for the growth of children." Liu Jinyan smiled.
Song Li swallowed his saliva and didn't look up at her.
"Miss Song, I heard that you are with my ex-husband?" Liu Jinyan no longer detours, and this sentence is straight to the point.
Song Li's heart chuckled.
"Of course, I hope you don't mind, I'm not here today in any posture or in any capacity, it's just, of course, yes, not our child after all." Liu Jinyan spread his hands and smiled.
Song Li licked his lips and mechanically searched for various words in his head, but he still didn't know what to say on such an occasion.
"Miss Song, you don't have to be nervous, I came today, I didn't want to say anything to you, I just wanted to meet you." Liu Jinyan could see that Song Li was very nervous, so he tried to ease the atmosphere.
"See me?" Song Li asked cautiously.
"I've heard a little bit about you and Xiao Pei, and I really haven't returned to China for a long time to take a look, so this time I have the opportunity, I think if I can, I'll meet you. Of course, I didn't ask for your opinion before I came, and I couldn't say hello to you in advance, so I'm sorry. ”
"You, are you also from Chang'an?" Song Li asked.
"Oh, no," Liu Jinyan smiled, "My father is from Guangdong, my mother is from Beijing, I grew up in New York, so I rarely go back to China, of course, I met Xiao Pei when he was in college, it was in Beijing, and it was my mother and I went back to Beijing to visit my grandmother." Oh, I know, Miss Song may not be interested in these, but I am like this, and if I meet the same fate, I will talk more. ”
"No, it won't." Song Li lowered his head and picked up the Americano on the table.
"To be honest, I haven't been able to see Chang'an this time, no, we didn't talk well last time Xiao Pei came to the United States, I'm afraid he still cares, so this time I came to Chang'an, Miss Song, you are the first person I have met."
Song Li didn't know what the meaning behind Liu Jinyan's words was, because she didn't want to think about it.
"Oh." Song Li held the cup and lowered his head and responded softly.
"So I want to know," Liu Jinyan saw that Song Li didn't say much about No, No, and Xiao Pei, so he then "reminded", "No, no, is he okay now?" ”
"Well," Song Li nodded slightly, "No, it's not very good, and it's also very obedient." I take care of Xiao Pei when he is busy with work, but fortunately, he is not very busy at work now, so we are usually together. ”
Liu Jinyan's face flashed a trace of unnoticed anger, but soon, she smiled, "Yes, that's thanks to Miss Song, Xiao Pei has always been a person who doesn't want to die when he works, and he always forgets to eat, so after we separated, he took the child back to China, and I was always worried that when he worked, no one would take care of him." ”
"I didn't know much about it before, but we were together after he was transferred to the current real estate company. But he is very good, even if he is busy with work, he will take care of the children, and there used to be an aunt at home······"
"Auntie?" Liu Jinyan interrupted Song Li's words.
“...... Yes......" Song Li didn't react at first, so he was a little slow to answer, "At home, there used to be an aunt at home." ”
"Actually," Liu Jinyan lowered his head and sighed slightly, and then smiled, "Xiao Pei has been in Chang'an alone with a child for so many years, I have long known that it is not easy, but I have not been able to do anything, and I have not even been able to fulfill my responsibilities as a mother, which I am ashamed of." ”
Song Li lowered his head again, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
"To be honest, the situation in the New York company is not very good now, whether it is work or life, I have not been able to meet my expectations, which is very annoying to me, so, Miss Song, I don't think you can understand, this time, I just want to come to see my son, at least I couldn't do it before, I have to make up for it one by one now."
Song Li felt her throat dry and angry, she looked at the American coffee she hated in the cup, and tried her best to suppress all the emotions in her heart, "Go back to Chang'an this time," Song Li put the cup back on the table, "Did you tell Xiao Pei?" ”
Liu Jinyan's heart was happy, at least it took a lot of words, this girl finally understood what she meant, but the emotions on the surface still had to be controlled, she smiled faintly, but she also smiled bitterly, "No, I'm afraid that now, he is not very willing to see me." ”
"Didn't you say that you will see you when you come back this time, you are your mother, how could he not be willing, he is not such a person."
"Miss Song," Liu Jinyan's face showed some helpless sadness, "I don't know if Xiao Pei has mentioned our past to you, but no matter how we agreed at the beginning, but in fact our marriage has come to an end," Liu Jinyan choked slightly, "We would have separated at the beginning, and it was also his insistence, I kept it, saying that even if it was not so small, it was just that in his opinion, our relationship really couldn't support it to the end, so we would separate, and you also have to know, He not only wants us to separate, but also wants me to be completely separated, otherwise after we divorce, he will not insist on returning to China with him, let alone so many years, I have repeatedly contacted him to see the child, but he always shirks for various reasons, even, even some time ago he came to the United States to find me, did not bring the child, I asked him where he was not there, he only said at his friend's house, Miss Song, you don't know, I was distressed to death. Liu Jinyan took a deep breath and tried his best to control his emotions, and Song Li sat opposite, watching this woman play for herself.
After a while, Song Li suddenly smiled, she got up, picked up her bag, looked at Liu Jinyan, who was still sobbing, and took out three tickets from her bag and put them in front of her, "If he doesn't go to the aquarium on the weekend, you can go see the child." After speaking, she turned around and walked out of the café, and she didn't drink the American coffee that Liu Jinyan ordered for her on the table.
Song Li got on the bus to get off work, the crowded space was filled with all kinds of smells, she clenched the handrail, but she never understood why, why she felt so redundant for a moment.
