At the end of November of the year when he was thirty-two years old, Xitang returned from Taiwan.

The reporters and fans who picked up the airport filled the hall, Xitang wore a caramel coat, sneakers and sunglasses and walked out, the crowd suddenly screamed, bouquets kept coming from the crowd, Xitang took two handfuls, the rest of the assistants hugged them, and the reporters surrounded them and said they wanted to see the trophy.

Xitang saw that the reporter just waved his hand lightly to say hello, and said with a smile that he had put it in the suitcase.

The agent escorted her forward, and even the photojournalist shouted with the fans: "The actress is so beautiful, congratulations." ”

All the way to the parking lot of the airport, the assistant opened the car door, and Xitang saw a large bouquet of bright pomegranate flowers on the back seat.

A bouquet of flowers plucked from a greenhouse in the south this morning and delivered to Shanghai in the airline's freezer.

The car returned to Xitang's home in Yangpu District, and the assistant Ah Kuan picked up the bouquet of flowers and brought it into the house.

In the evening, the small landlord celebrated Xitang in his own restaurant, the management of Lukai Media basically arrived, as well as all the staff around Xitang, plus a few familiar artist friends, the whole banquet hall only entertained their company's guests tonight, all friends were unrestrained, extraordinarily lively and warm.

Tonight is the small landlord's personal cooking, even if there are more things in catering management now, the small landlord still loves to cook, the boss rarely cooks in person, the executive chef in the restaurant today is not willing to get off work, specially kept a few bites, the dinner table is lively, Ni Karen is happier than her, chatting and recalling the past: "The first time I went to Taiwan, it was in 1999, I followed the director Shi Zeming, the position was in the thirty-fifth row, no one knew, I saw Maggie Cheung halfway, and I was excited for a night. ”

Xitang smiled and said, "Karen, I've drunk too much, I've exposed my age." ”

That night, Xitang came home and sat in her mother's room for a while, this room has actually been cleaned up, and now it is empty, put some things like Xitang's usually idle dress trophies, Xitang left a mother's sweater in the cabinet, she sat on the sofa in the cloakroom, took out the sweater, and gently pasted it on her face.

Xitang sat for a while, and at a short time in the morning, the assistant came to urge her to sleep.

The next day, she had to go back to Hengdian to film.

It snowed the day I returned to Hengdian.

Winter is the best time to shoot costume dramas, and natural snow scenes are even more rare, the director directly pulled the whole crew to the location, the little palace maid wearing a cotton jacket sat on a low stool and waited, her nose and mouth were full of mist, and only a few tents were set up in the venue, and it was as cold inside and outside the house.

At six o'clock, it was already dark.

Back to the town for dinner, the driver sent her and her assistant back to rest, Xitang still lived in the original house, but rented all three houses on that floor, with a kitchen.

Xitang took Ah Kuan's hand and walked up the stairs, at the corner of the stairs, the two looked up, a black figure sat in front of her room, Xitang squeezed Ah Kuan's hand nervously, Ah Kuan suddenly screamed in fright.

Driver Huang immediately rushed up from downstairs and stood in front of the two girls, he glanced up, and suddenly stood still under his feet.

"Mr. Zhao." He called respectfully.

Zhao Pingjin stood up, a tall and thin man, wearing a black and gray tweed coat, the light of the residential building opposite was shining on the wall, and he showed a handsome and pale face in the dark.

Xitang walked over and turned on the light in the hallway.

Ah Kuan patted his chest, stuffed the keys, bags, and things in his hand to her, and then turned around and went downstairs with the driver.

Xitang took out the key from his bag and turned his head to look at him: "Why are you sitting in front of my house?" How dirty it is on the ground. ”

Zhao Pingjin said angrily: "You think I want to sit on the ground?" Who told you to come back so late. ”

Xitang said, "Why don't you wait in the car?" It's such a cold day. ”

Zhao Pingjin took the big bag she was carrying: "I finally came here, Huang Xitang, can't you give me a good face?" ”

Xitang opened the door, Zhao Pingjin followed her in, Xitang stood in the narrow entrance, looking up at his face.

There was a deep blazing fire in Zhao Pingjin's eyes: "Why didn't you marry Shu An?" ”

"Because it's not fair to him."

"Why was it unfair to him?"

Huang Xitang raised his head to speak, but Zhao Pingjin reached out and pushed her to the wall of the entrance, lowered his head and kissed her lips, Xitang twisted his upper body and struggled, Zhao Pingjin reached out and pinched her neck, his movements were rough and intense, his palms were very cold, Xitang was so cold that he opened his mouth and bit down.

Zhao Pingjin scolded "fuck" with her lips, the smell of blood spread in the tongues of the two people, Zhao Pingjin still pressed her body tightly and refused to let go, Xitang stretched out his foot and kicked his leg, Zhao Pingjin grabbed her waist and lifted her up.

The two kissed inextricably, Zhao Pingjin rolled into the sofa in the living room with her, and Xitang fumbled to find the remote control of the air conditioner: "How long have you been waiting outside, it's too cold." ”

Zhao Pingjin gnawed her shoulder intently: "It will be warm in a while." ”

The air conditioner sounded with a sound, the coat had already been torn off by her, Zhao Pingjin took off a gray pullover sweater on her body, both of them wore white shirts today, Xitang didn't wear underwear inside, her shirt buttons were torn apart by Zhao Pingjin, revealing a white collarbone and shoulder, Zhao Pingjin held her ankle in his hand, Xitang straddled his waist, his face was on his neck, and his wet tongue licked his Adam's apple.

Zhao Pingjin shuddered fiercely, and a heat suddenly surged in his body, he swallowed his saliva, hugged her whole, and turned around and pressed her into the sofa.

Xitang screamed: "Zhao Pingjin, you fucking bastard!" ”

Zhao Pingjin stretched out his hand and slapped her ass viciously, he really didn't show mercy, Xitang only heard a crisp sound of "pop", half of his legs were numb in an instant, Zhao Pingjin gritted his teeth: "How majestic you are, in Guosheng Hutong, I have long wanted to clean you up!" ”

The room in the darkness slowly warmed up, and two white shirts were thrown on the carpet next to the coffee table, stacked messily on top of each other.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve in Beijing.

His father rarely went home for the New Year this year, and the lively Spring Festival Gala was shown on TV, a pot of hot dumplings came out of the pot, Zhao Pingjin ate half a bowl at home, and at ten o'clock, he got up and wore a coat.

Teacher Zhou and the nanny were waiting for the old lady to eat together, and looked up at her son: "You ran out on Chinese New Year's Eve, where are you going?" ”

Zhao Pingjin looked at his mother: "Don't you know better than me where I am?" ”

Teacher Zhou put down his chopsticks: "Can't you go over tomorrow?" ”

Zhao Pingjin got dressed, walked over and kissed his grandmother: "No, she is alone in Beijing." ”

Teacher Zhou stood up: "Doesn't she have a home, and the Jing family won't take her back for the New Year?" ”

Zhao Pingjin picked up the car keys: "That's a relative, what kind of home, she only has me." ”

Teacher Zhou was unhappy: "There is only one child in our family, so how many old people will spend the New Year at home?" ”

Zhao Pingjin smiled at his mother: "Don't you have my father?" ”

Zhao Pingjin's father walked out of the house at this time, stood in the living room and said to his son with his hands behind his back: "Go, bring people home next year for the New Year." ”

Teacher Zhou glared back at her husband.

Comrade Zhao Zhuguo only looked at Teacher Zhou happily.

"You wait a while, Auntie," Teacher Zhou called back to the kitchen: "You pack two boxes of dumplings and let Zhou'er take them out." ”

Zhao Pingjin walked to the door of the courtyard and started the car, since he was sick and went abroad for a year or two, his mother suddenly got old, and the family affairs were not as tight as in the past, before Mr. Zhou basically accompanied him in Los Angeles for more than a year, and when he returned to Beijing, his mother was still abroad most of the time, his father who was almost sixty years old had the heart to repair the relationship between husband and wife, and he understood that her mother always loved his father in his heart.

Zhao Pingjin drove the car out of Guosheng Hutong, and when the car turned into Jianwai Street, it was snowing lightly on the road.

He is with Xitang, living in a house in Park Hyatt Mansion, and Mr. Zhou never asks, usually Xitang returns to Beijing, and never walks around Guosheng Hutong.

It's just a snack made by the nanny and aunt of the Zhao family on weekdays, the driver sends it to Park Hyatt every other day, Zhao Pingjin came home several times, the fresh fruits and various supplements at home The nanny has packed it, let Zhao Pingjin bring it over, a few days ago I wrapped a bag of winter bamboo shoots, and the bamboo shoots with skin are rising to the tips of the buds, the winter bamboo shoots are cold, Zhao Pingjin can't eat this, and said with a smile: "Yo, who is this for." ”

The nanny aunt followed behind him and said, "This is not for you to eat, but for your girl, your mother specially kept it." ”

When they got back together, Zhao Pingjin was not in good health, Xitang pushed his job for almost three months to take care of him in Beijing, and when he was almost healthy, the two of them spent a year in Beijing, and Xitang was going back to filming.

May.

Beijing is late in summer this year, and it is quite cool in May, the old lady woke up from a nap at this time, and the nurse helped her to the wheelchair, and Teacher Zhou walked in: "Mom." ”

The old lady's words suddenly became clear: "Daughter-in-law of the casting army, you are at home." ”

Teacher Zhou sat aside: "Mom, I am the daughter-in-law of Zhuguo. ”

The old lady said, "It's the second daughter-in-law." ”

The old lady took her hand: "Second daughter-in-law, you have a doll." ”

Teacher Zhou smiled: "Zhou'er is not at home today. ”

The old lady didn't seem to hear it, and spoke babblingly: "I dreamed last night, I was picking up water at the mouth of the river crossing pier in the morning, and I saw a white and chubby baby in the boat, surrounded by fog, and there was no one, so I quickly picked it up, and I knew that this was the doll that my daughter-in-law gave birth to in Beijing." ”

Every time I talk about this past, Mr. Zhou is very happy: "Mom, thanks to your dream, Zhouzi was conceived at that time." ”

The old lady's tone was firm: "I just dreamed about it last night, second daughter-in-law, don't worry, it's your doll." ”

Teacher Zhou thought to himself, the old lady is really confused.

Teacher Zhou walked to the door of the room, his mind flashed, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly called Zhao Pingjin: "Where is your daughter-in-law?" ”

Zhao Pingjin pretended to be stupid over there: "Yo, how long has your son been divorced, where is the daughter-in-law who is alone?" ”

Teacher Zhou's tone was urgent: "Don't pretend to me, I said Huang Xitang." ”

Zhao Pingjin became vigilant, and his tone changed: "Do you have something to do with her?" ”

"I ask you where she is?"

"At work, what's wrong?"

"Let me tell you, your grandmother has that dream again, I am pregnant with you, I dreamed that you were floating down by the river on the boat, you quickly ask, is she pregnant?"

Zhao Pingjin was stunned for a moment.

When his eldest aunt was pregnant with his eldest sister Zhao Pindong, his eldest aunt didn't find out at all, his grandmother dreamed that when his parents got married, Mr. Zhou worked in Beijing at that time, and his father worked at the grassroots level.

Zhao Pingjin said: "I'll give her a call. ”

Zhao Pingjin returned to Guosheng Hutong in the evening.

The nanny and aunt were guarding the door of the hall, and when they saw him coming back, they hurriedly reported to the house: "Madam, Brother Zhou is back." ”

Teacher Zhou walked out.

Zhao Pingjin said to his mother: "She has no time to go to the hospital for the play from afternoon to evening, so she has asked her assistant to buy a pregnancy test, and she will get up tomorrow morning to get up and take a test." ”

Teacher Zhou trembled: "If you want to test, that is...... How long has it been since I came? ”

"It's two months."

Teacher Zhou trembled with joy: "That's it." ”

"Mom, she's never allowed, don't be happy."

Zhao Pingjin is not optimistic, and she does not dare to be blindly optimistic, her body is difficult to get pregnant.

They have been together for a year and have never used contraception, but have never had children, so she has been reluctant to marry him.

Early the next morning, Zhao Pingjin got up.

Teacher Zhou and the nanny aunt were earlier and stayed at the staircase on the first floor.

Zhao Pingjin buttoned the cuffs of his shirt as he walked down, and his face turned a little pale with fright: "I'll go to Shanghai now." ”

The nanny and aunt cried at once: "What a happy event." ”

Teacher Zhou is much calmer than yesterday: "I asked my grandmother to arrange for someone to go, take care of the living and eating first, and you two go to the hospital, you let the driver drive carefully." ”

Xitang is pregnant and lives in Shanghai.

The apartment she lived in in Yangpu District was known to reporters, and in order to avoid the media, she moved to the house on Taojiang Road in Zhao Pingjin.

Zhao Pingjin does not live in the house in Shanghai permanently, and only one gardener and one aunt are left on weekdays, and his grandmother specially arranged for an aunt of the Zhou family who has been serving for many years to take care of Xitang's diet.

This aunt is Mr. Zhou's distant cousin, is the confidant of the old lady of the Zhou family, and she is very particular about cooking, with meat and vegetables, fine nutrition, and pays attention to eating less and eating more, requiring Xitang to eat five meals a day, but Xitang has a bad appetite in the early stages of pregnancy, and every time she arrives at the meal, she is urged by the aunt to sit at the dining table, she can't eat.

That week, Zhao Pingjin was busy with work, and he happened to go back to Beijing, Xitang was alone in Shanghai, and every time he couldn't eat, he had to be nagged by his aunt, and Xitang had to desperately stuff the rice into his mouth.

That morning, Xitang suddenly cried.

Zhao Pingjin went home that day, heard the crying and hurriedly came out of the study, got up and brought things out: "She doesn't want to eat, don't force her." ”

The aunt has been in the Zhou family for many years, and Zhao Pingjin was also brought up by her when she spent the summer vacation in Shanghai since she was a child, and this time she was invited by the old lady, so the momentum of this identity and status cannot be lost: "Why are you crying?" Why am I bullying Iroh? How can you be so squeamish, it's normal to have a child and lose your temper, but it's good to cut it in heaven, it doesn't matter if Iva eats, the baby in the belly wants to eat......"

Zhao Pingjin endured it at first, and finally got angry: "Nong will go back to my grandmother's house if you gossip again!" ”

He walked back to the living room, and the look on Xitang's face was stunned.

Zhao Pingjin touched her head.

Xitang finally came back to his senses and burst into laughter: "I've known you for ten years, and it's the first time I know that you can speak Shanghainese." ”

Zhao Pingjin immediately changed his words to Mandarin: "What are you doing? ”

Xitang had tears on his cheeks, but he was suddenly too happy: "You say Shanghainese is very funny, you can tell me again." ”

Zhao Pingjin immediately refused: "Don't." ”

Xitang jumped on the chair and pulled his hair: "Do you say it." ”

Zhao Pingjin hurriedly supported her: "You give me a good seat!" ”

Xitang laughed and teased him: "You can tell me again, just two sentences." ”

Zhao Pingjin hugged her down: "Okay, hurry down." ”

Xitang was still laughing.

Zhao Pingjin straightened his face: "It's good that you don't listen to it, right, Huang Xitang!" ”

Xitang quickly pursed his mouth, folded his hands and asked him: "You say a few words to me, I promise to eat well." ”

At noon, Xitang sat at the dining table on time, waiting for Zhao Pingjin to come over with anticipation, and then the dining room on the first floor at noon was full of Huang Xitang's laughter hahahahaha, Zhao Pingjin simply let it go: "Eat well!" Don't eat well and laugh! Nong laughs again, and invites Nong to live this night! Nong's brain is bad, how can there be such a nong? ”

Xitang laughed so hard that he almost rolled off his chair.

The aunt shook her head outside: "Zhou'er, this girlfriend, is pregnant and a fool." ”

The stage play "The Last Night of the World" launched the second round of tour in the autumn of that year, and on the day of the crew's press conference, the crew's official social account naturally had to send routine publicity, but at eight o'clock that night, more than an hour after the press release was issued, the official social account of "The Last Night" also sent out a short video.

The stage script is not an art form with a large audience, the official account has only tens of thousands of fans, and the popularity on weekdays is average, but that news quickly attracted the attention and forwarding of major entertainment accounts on the Internet, and it passed 100,000 forwards and comments in less than an hour, and the reason why everyone is interested is that in that video, Huang Xitang, who disappeared from the media's sight for more than two months, appeared.

Xitang couldn't see it in the first two months of pregnancy, she was still filming, she was unexpectedly pregnant, and the working hours of the signed drama contract could not be changed, although she was a little tired, but she still insisted on finishing the filming, and in the third month, Xitang also attended a fashion brand event in Shanghai, but that was the last time she appeared in public, and the original film contract and variety show were also canceled.

At that time, some people said that she was pregnant.

The first-line female star is pregnant unmarried, and the news says that it is not big or small, fans and reporters are very curious, but the agency and the artist have not responded.

No one expected her to be announced in such a form.

It was a video of Xitang in the stage rehearsal room, and director Lin Yongchuan chatted with her in the director's lounge: "Xitang, I'm pregnant with a baby." ”

The camera was shot with her back to Xitang at the beginning, only to see her wearing a slightly wide-fitting skirt, her arms and calves are still very slender, Lin Yongchuan is the director of Xitang's first movie, and later left the film industry because of changes, changed careers to do stage plays, and also achieved great success, when Huang Xitang fell into a career trough because of the hurting incident, it was also the first stage play he asked Xitang to act, so many years Xitang has always respected him very much, the two have a relationship like father and daughter, Xitang has been very happy recently: "Yes." ”

Lin Yongchuan said: "My friends are curious about who the child's father is. ”

The little actors around him were snickering.

At this time, the camera captured Huang Xitang's side face, and only saw her smile and said: "He is a friend of mine." ”

When Xitang and Zhao Pingjin went out together, they were photographed several times, the most famous one was in the small landlord's restaurant in Shanghai, the guests at the adjacent table secretly photographed the man who dined alone with Huang Xitang, the posture was not very intimate, but the two of them are very familiar and relaxed, it can be seen that they are friends who have been together for many years, among which there is a close-up of the side face, and the pixels of the mobile phone with a close-up view are blurred, but it can still be seen that he is a very handsome and clear man.

The photo was sent to a well-known paparazzi team in the circle, and the reporter arrived before the meal was finished, fortunately, the waiter in front of the restaurant was clever and immediately notified the boss, Xitang came out alone to deal with the media, but only smiled and said: "He is a friend of mine." ”

The next day the news was gone.

Lin Yongchuan pointed to her stomach: "Then do your friends know this?" ”

Xitang pretended to wipe his sweat and nodded violently: "I know, I know, this is our joint decision." ”

Lin Yongchuan said softly: "My little Leah is going to give birth to a baby, come, you bring a B corner." ”

Xitang plays the A role of Leah, and there has always been a second-tier actor who has been rehearsing with the crew before, and then the young actor came in and bowed to Xitang: "Teacher." ”

Daughter Yudi was born in March.

Zhao Pingjin set off at the Capital International Airport, to accompany the upcoming production of Xitang, at eight o'clock in the evening from the VIP lounge boarding, he glanced at the airport huge glass window outside, that evening, dry Beijing fell a wet light rain, the wide airport as far as the eye can see, are a wet ground, the night flight aircraft began to glide slowly on the runway, a row of lights on both sides of the ground flickered, Zhao Pingjin sat on the seat, saw the porthole drop by drop of round raindrops, then he knew, He will welcome a very lovely daughter.

Huang Xitang named her Zhao Zhishi, good rain knows the season, and the homonym sounds like she loves to learn, but it's a pity that this girl perfectly missed her parents' genes, her mother's cultural test score in the college entrance examination as an art candidate was close to a line, not to mention her father who studied Tsinghua National Key Engineering, Xitang has been worried, this daughter has been a scumbag since she was a child.

When Yudian'er was promoted from kindergarten to primary school, Xitang sat on the floor with his youngest son in his arms, looked at his daughter's test papers, and looked up at Zhao Pingjin: "What should I do?" ”

The raindrops were riding on Zhao Pingjin's shoulders, Zhao Pingjin grabbed her two little fat legs, and was running around the house with her, the little girl giggled happily, Zhao Pingjin didn't take it seriously: "Our children don't have to be too good." ”

Son Hashihashi grabbed the roll and stuffed it into his mouth.

Xitang pulled out the test paper and looked at his son: "Qiaoqiao, what is one plus three?" ”

The one-and-a-half-year-old son Qiaoqiao had just begun to learn to speak, but he helplessly spat out a saliva bubble and crashed into Xitang's arms.

Xitang sighed: "Little calf, I broke my mother." ”

Zhao Pingjin immediately stretched out his hand and lifted his son out, and hugged his daughter-in-law: "Your mother is my baby, what do you want to do?" ”

Xitang said: "Don't scare him. ”

Zhao Qiaoqiao's child was not afraid at all, he sat on the floor and quietly sucked his fingers, looking at his father with dark eyes.

Zhao Qiaoqiao was born four years later, he was not treated as well as his sister when he was born, Yudianer was born in a smooth birth, and he was pushed out together by Xitang's side, Zhao Pingjin turned his head to kiss his daughter after kissing his daughter-in-law, his eyes were red but his heart was so happy, when Zhao Qiaoqiao was carried out by the nurse, Mr. Zhou and Xitang's stepmother looked around, and the two of them "grandma hugged" and "grandma hugged," Di Qian gave a round, Mr. Zhou reached out and took over his grandson, Zhao Pingjin didn't hug him, because Xitang was still sewing belly in the operating room at that time.

After the anesthesia passed, Xitang was in tears all the time, Zhao Pingjin could only hold her hand all the time, and she didn't dare to cry, the elders said that tears in the confinement would cause the root of the disease.

The baby who was full of milk was lying on the side and fell asleep, with a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhao Pingjin was angry when he saw it, and stretched out his hand to poke his face: "Stinky boy, you still dare to laugh, do you know how much crime you have made my daughter-in-law suffer?" ”

The children of Zhao Qiaoqiao cried loudly.

Teacher Zhou heard the sound and came in.

"Well, don't recruit him."

"What's the matter with you being a father?"

After Qiao'er was born, because of the breathing problems of the newborn, Zhao Pingjin accompanied Xitang and the child to live in a house on the outskirts of Beijing for more than three months.

He came home from the city after work.

The night light was on in the room, and Xitang was getting up to feed.

Zhao Pingjin walked next door and kissed his daughter's sleeping face, and walked into the bedroom, Xitang saw him come in, pouting at him with a sleepy face, Zhao Pingjin went over to sit beside her, and hugged Xitang in his arms, her blouse was pulled up, and her white chest was close to a toddler who was infatuated with his mother, he reached out to touch it informally, and the little son who was sucking milk suddenly stretched out his foot and kicked his father, Zhao Pingjin was so angry that he suddenly wanted to clean up people, Xitang slapped his hand away, looked up and glared at him.

Zhao Pingjin's movements immediately stopped, and he quickly took her hand and kissed the back of her hand comfortably.

When Xitang settled the child, Zhao Pingjin went downstairs to the kitchen to rinse the bottle, and saw that in the garden in the middle of the night, there was a shadowy light, which was the rising moon shining on the trees, and when he returned to the room, Xitang was already asleep.

Zhao Pingjin quietly walked to the terrace in the backyard, looking at the moonlight on the shadows of the trees in the river on the other bank, she was the dream of his life, and now it finally became the moonlight on his pillow.

He tilted his head back in the moonlight, holding back tears from the corners of his eyes.
