Chapter 238: The Scars in My Heart
Zhao Yufang looked at Si Zenan's gentle eyes when she was holding her daughter, and felt very comforted in her heart, she called her son-in-law to ask him to come over, but she felt that there was no overnight feud between the two of them, and any contradictions must be said to be resolved.
Tian Guoguo looked at her mother's smiling eyes, her face was flushed, she was still not used to being so close to Si Zenan in front of her mother.
"Come and eat, the food will be cold in a while." Zhao Yufang looked at her daughter's blushing face, smiled and said, motioning for Si Zenan to come and sit down.
Tian Guoguo looked at the dishes on the table and sniffed, she hadn't eaten her mother's cooking for a long time, and she missed the taste very much. Suddenly, she saw the fish soup in the center of the table, not only stunned, this fish looked like the fish she caught when she and Si Zenan went fishing not long ago.
"Mom, why didn't you eat the fish I sent you last time?" Si Zenan looked at Tian Guoguo's puzzled expression, and opened his mouth to talk to Zhao Yufang.
"Don't send me anything in the future, I live by myself, and I can't eat so much, it's a waste to do it, it just so happens that you are here today, let's eat together, so as not to waste." Zhao Yufang said to her son-in-law with a smile, and her tone was full of relief.
Tian Guoguo listened to the two of them in a daze, and then realized that it was Si Zenan who sent the fish to his mother. She didn't expect that Si Zenan could be so careful, and even take care of her own family so thoughtfully. Her heart moved, and she looked at Si Zenan's eyes with gratitude and relief.
"As long as you eat well, tell me what you lack in the future, and I'll send someone to bring it to you." Si Zenan said sincerely, took Zhao Yufang's bowl in his hand, and served her a bowl of fish soup. He and Tian Guoguo have formed a new family, he loves Tian Guoguo, and naturally loves her family. Thinking that his wife depended on his mother when he was a child, he secretly decided in his heart that he wanted to repay her nurturing kindness with Tian Guoguo.
Tian Guoguo was moved in her heart, she never thought that Si Zenan had done so many things for herself when she didn't know, the estrangement in her heart gradually disappeared, she shouldn't question him. Since you have chosen to believe in him and be with him, you should believe in his sincerity.
The three of them finished a meal harmoniously, Tian Guoguo felt that he hadn't seen his mother for a long time and wanted to stay a little longer, but Zhao Yufang pushed her into Si Zenan's arms and didn't let them stay any longer. Tian Guoguo couldn't resist her mother, so she had to follow Si Zenan out of the door.
When they walked to the door, Zhao Yufang pulled her daughter over again and whispered in her ear: "Tian Guoguo, Zenan is sincere to you, don't mess with him anymore when you go back." ”
Tian Guoguo listened to her mother's words, lowered her head embarrassedly, her cheeks were crimson, and a sweet smile unconsciously appeared on her face. "I see, Mom." She whispered to her mother.
Zhao Yufang watched them go downstairs, their backs disappeared from her sight, and then they turned around and went upstairs with confidence.
Tian Guoguo followed Si Zenan in the car, and the redness and swelling on his feet subsided slightly, but he still limped when he walked.
Si Zenan looked at her clumsy appearance and felt very distressed, so he bent down and hugged her into his arms.
"Ahh Tian Guoguo was so frightened that he screamed, and he fell into Si Zenan's arms in a whirlwind. looked around in a panic, slapped his hand on Si Zenan's chest, and said embarrassedly: "Let me down, I can go by myself." ”
"You're walking too slowly, I'm walking fast with you." Si Zenan said seriously, did not put Tian Guoguo down, sped up on his feet, and strode towards the car.
Si Zenan put Tian Guoguo in the co-pilot, leaned over and fastened her seat belt, and then walked to the other side, got into the car, and drove home.
After a while, they arrived at home, Si Zenan carried Tian Guoguo into the house, carefully put it on the bed, soaked a towel in water, let her wipe her body, and found an ointment to reduce swelling, and helped her reapply the wound on the instep, and when everything was done, it was not early.
Si Zenan was lying on the bed with Tian Guoguo in his arms, the room was quiet and comfortable, and the warm atmosphere flowed around the two of them. Si Zenan looked at the person in his arms, only to feel that the softness in his heart turned into a pool of spring water, thinking that when he couldn't find Tian Guoguo this afternoon, he felt a huge sense of unease in his heart, and he didn't want such a thing to happen a second time.
Thinking about it, Si Zenan hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Tian Guoguo, I still have to explain to you about me and Qingxue." ”
Tian Guoguo lay on Si Zenan's chest, listening to his solid heartbeat, he was about to fall asleep, but when he suddenly heard Si Zenan's words, he instantly felt awake.
She raised her head and looked at Si Zenan's solemn face, and she didn't know for a moment whether to stop him from speaking, and listened to him continue.
Si Zenan didn't give her time to think about it, and continued to speak. "Tian Guoguo, Cheng Qingxue and I are not the kind of relationship you imagined. In the past, when I was a soldier, in a military exercise, Qingxue's brother Cheng Qingzuo wanted to save me...... sacrificed. ”
Tian Guoguo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard his words. Si Zenan's voice became deeper and lower, and in the end, she seemed to be trapped in deep self-blame and guilt, which made her feel very distressed. She had never heard of Si Zenan's past, and she didn't know that there were such scars in his heart.
She stretched out her hand and hugged Si Zenan tightly, as if she wanted to comfort him, the man next to her was full of loneliness, she couldn't bear to look at him like this, she only hoped that he could feel his strength.
Si Zenan felt Tian Guoguo's embrace, and his heart, which was originally wrapped in self-blame and guilt, felt a little soothed, and put his big hand on Tian Guoguo's hand and patted it, signaling that he was fine.
He calmed down and continued: "When Qingzuo died, he entrusted his only sister Qingxue to me, and I promised him that he would take good care of Qingxue, and I have always taken care of her as my own sister, but there has never been a relationship between men and women with her. ”
Tian Guoguo listened to Si Zenan's words, raised his head, and saw that his eyes were unwavering and did not sway at all, so he knew that what he said must be true.
"I didn't tell you this before, because this incident has always been a scar in my heart, every time I touch it, it will hurt my heart, I hope I am perfect in your heart, and I don't want you to see such a vulnerable side of me." Si Zenan looked at Tian Guoguo's distracted expression, kissed her forehead, and continued.
Tian Guoguo's voice was soft, but his tone was very firm: "Zenan...... If there is anything in the future, tell me, I am willing to share it with you, even if I can't do anything for you, I am willing to face it with you. ”
