Chapter 14: Explanation
The nagging voice of Li's mother in her ears gradually faded away, and the surroundings finally quieted down. Xiaoxuan, who stayed up until the early hours of the morning, slowly fell into a deep sleep.
I was just trying to sleep well for a while, when suddenly, there was a screeching doorbell outside the door. Xiaoxuan irritably pulled up the quilt and covered her head and continued to sleep, in a daze, thinking: What is Mama Li doing? Why don't you open the door yet?
The doorbell rang tirelessly, and Xiaoxuan's sleepy head after staying up all night would be swollen and painful by the noise of the doorbell. Xiaoxuan couldn't sleep well because she was disturbed by the ringtone, so she simply pulled the quilt aside and sat up. muttered: "Who is so annoying!" I don't know if I disturb other people's sleep early in the morning? ”
Xiaoxuan put on a cotton pajamas beside the bed, dragged her slippers, and walked towards the door. As he walked, he shouted, "Mom...... Mom ......" The living room was quiet, and no one responded. Xiaoxuan then remembered that Li's mother seemed to have gone to a relative's house.
So who is knocking tirelessly on the door outside? Could it be that Mama Li came back early, right! It must be that Mama Li is not worried that she is back again. In the two days when she just came back from the hospital, Li Ma often came back to see her halfway no matter where she went.
Xiaoxuan pulled her messy hair, opened the door, didn't look at anyone, and said casually: "Mom, didn't you go to a relative's house?" Why did you come back so early? Saying that, Xiaoxuan yawned and walked into the house, still sleepy and panicked.
Walking to the sofa in the living room, Xiaoxuan just wanted to lie down and sleep in the meeting, when she heard a voice behind her that did not belong to Li's mother, and should not be here at this moment.
"Little ......".
Xiaoxuan thought that she hadn't rested well and had auditory hallucinations. So I didn't care, and said to myself: "Mom, I'm hungry!" Cook me something to eat, I'll lie down. ”
"Little Guy ......"
There was another voice from behind, and this time Xiaoxuan heard it clearly. It's not an auditory hallucination after a good rest! It's a real personal voice.
Xiaoxuan only froze for a moment, then quickly came back to her senses and turned around. The person in front of him was Huang Chenguang, he looked tired, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was looking at himself longingly at the moment. The eyes that were originally shining were occupied by something called longing.
"Little one......" The man took two steps forward and cried again.
"Little guy" is Huang Chenguang's affectionate name for Li Xiaoli in the book.
Xiaoxuan looked at the man in front of her who was tortured by Li Xiaoli and asked, "Why are you here?" It's too bad for you to come here, I'm sleeping soundly, and I'm very angry that you woke me up.
"I ...... I miss you, come and see you. Huang Chenguang seemed to really want Li Xiaoli to think that he couldn't stand it, and at this moment he was looking at himself with blank eyes.
Although I am here to get back together with you, if you say a few words, I will reconcile with you, which is a bit too contrary to the meaning of the original owner, Li Xiaoli. You must know that you injured Li Xiaoli, and his soul disappeared.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for the disappearance of his soul, I wouldn't have been forced to come here. So, the biggest culprit of why I'm here is you, and you dare to disturb my sleep today. Hum! Be careful that I take revenge on you.
"Uh...... You've seen it, go back! "Go back quickly, I'll sleep a little longer.
Xiaoxuan said that she turned around and didn't want to bother him anymore, who knew that he actually pulled his arm and didn't let him go.
"Xiaoli, don't go......"
"Anything else?" Dude, if you have something, just say it, I'll go back to sleep.
"I want to talk to you......"
"Talk? Say what? Is there anything to say between us? "We can talk about it another day, I'm really sleepy.
"Xiaoli, I'...... I can explain. Huang Chenguang looked at Xiaoxuan with blank eyes, hoping that he could give himself a chance to explain.
"Explain? What to explain? Explain how you made Li ...... Let me be the junior who destroys other people's families, and the only male junior who is the most ridiculous in the world? Xiaoxuan couldn't help but roll her eyes, Nima! Is this what I wrote? Why do you feel that the plot is so bloody.
"No...... That's not true! Little guy, you have to believe me, I never thought that much!! And also...... My love for you is so true that if you don't believe it, I can swear to God, if I deceive ....... ”
Well, how could I not believe it, you wrote it by me, of course I believe you. You're going to explain, right? Then you explain, leave quickly after explaining, don't delay my sleep, let's talk about what I have when I wake up.
"Alright...... Alright, don't talk about it! You're going to explain, right? Then you can explain.
Huang Chenguang saw that Li Xiaoli was finally willing to listen to his explanation, and he was happy, and hurriedly said: "Things are not what you think at all, the reason why I married Wu Xiumin was completely forced by my parents...... Later, after we divorced, my parents took her home for the sake of the child. Actually, during our relationship, I wanted to confess to you many times! But I'm afraid that if you don't forgive me, you'll leave me, so I'll ....... But Xiaoli, you have to be clear about one thing, I have never loved her, and the person I love has always been you, you have to believe me. ”
"Well, I believe in you! But that doesn't change the fact that you're someone else's father. Actually, now, it's not interesting to talk about this! You've finished explaining, so let's go. Although he was very sleepy and wanted to sleep, he also had to take the opportunity to tell Huang Chenguang what Li Xiaoli was saying, so that he could go home quickly and sort out the child's affairs.
"Don't do that, little one! I have a lot to say ....... ”
Huang Chenguang wanted to say something more, but was ruthlessly pushed out by Xiaoxuan.
Don't say anything, I know what you say, I understand everything, don't delay me from sleeping.
"Xiaoli, I ......,"
"Don't make me hate you!" Delay me to sleep any longer, and I'm going to hate you.
After speaking, Xiaoxuan resolutely closed the door, ignored his knock, turned around and went back to sleep.
Early the next morning, Xiaoxuan was woken up by Li's mother, saying that she was going to take her to her grandparents' house to pay New Year's greetings. Xiaoxuan was stunned when she heard her grandparents, didn't Li Xiaoli have no grandparents? Why did a grandparent suddenly pop up, and when he wrote the book, he didn't arrange grandparents for him?
When she arrived at her grandparents' house, Xiaoxuan found out that Li Xiaoli really had a grandfather, but it seemed that his grandmother was no longer there.
The reason why Grandpa Li is rarely mentioned in the book is because he is rarely at home. Li Xiaoli's father is not an only son, he also has an uncle, who has already settled abroad due to work.
Grandpa Li and Grandma Li have a good relationship, after Grandma Li died, Grandpa Li was heartbroken and depressed all day long, no matter how the Li family comforted and persuaded him, it was to no avail. Later, Li Xiaoli's uncle proposed to take Grandpa Li abroad to stay away from the sad place. At first, Grandpa Li refused to go, but the Li family spent a lot of persuasion, and Grandpa Li went abroad with his eldest son. After that, Grandpa Li rarely returned to China, and only came back every festival and New Year.
When Xiaoxuan saw Grandpa Li at first glance, she thought she had seen her grandfather. Although Xiaoxuan's grandfather died early, Xiaoxuan still remembers her grandfather's face.
This Grandpa Li is highly similar to his grandfather, regardless of height, body shape, or expression, it is like carved out of a mold.
As soon as Grandpa Li opened his mouth to speak, Xiaoxuan immediately burst into tears, Grandpa Li not only looked the same as his grandfather, but even spoke in the same tone and voice.
Since coming to this strange world, Xiaoxuan has been suppressing her longing for her relatives and home. Even though Li's father and mother are very good to themselves and love themselves very much, they are not their own parents after all, and they will inevitably have the feeling of stolen family affection in their hearts. So when she saw Grandpa Li, who was exactly the same as her grandfather, Xiaoxuan's suppressed feelings of longing poured out like a stormy wave.
Grandpa Li looked at his grandson with slightly red eyes, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong, good grandson?"
"No, I just miss grandpa!" Xiaoxuan took Grandpa Li's arm.
"My good grandson, grandpa misses you too, and he has long wanted to come back to see you, but your uncle is busy with work and can't spare time to send me back. That's why I didn't come back until now. "Deep in his heart, Grandpa Li often remembers his home in China, his son, daughter-in-law and grandson.
"Uncle doesn't want you to suffer from turbulence on the plane, you have to understand Uncle. We're all fine at home, we don't have to bump back and forth, if you want us, let Dad take the time to take us to see you during the summer vacation. Xiaoxuan looked at Grandpa Li and felt very kind, and couldn't help but make a summer vacation appointment for Li Xiaoli.
"Don't toss back and forth, your dad is so busy with work, every time you go, you go in a hurry and leave in a hurry. You have a lot of schoolwork, so you should study hard at home. By the way, I heard your dad say, you were sick and hospitalized some time ago, what's going on? Are you all well? ”
"It's just an ordinary fever and cold, it's all gone, don't worry, grandpa, grandpa's health is okay during this time?"
"I'm old, no matter how good my body is, that's it!"
"Grandpa is not old......"
It wasn't until three or four o'clock in the afternoon that the three members of the Li family returned home.
Celebrating the New Year at the Li family is the same as celebrating the New Year at your own home, which is nothing more than eating and drinking, visiting relatives and friends. It's just that there are more relatives and friends in his family than in his own family.
Because of Li's father's work, there is an endless stream of people who come to visit and give gifts to talk about things, and the family is very lively for a while.
Although Xiaoxuan didn't know those people, she would always be called out to entertain guests by Li's father on the grounds that the boy wanted to see more of the world.
On this day, when Xiaoxuan and Dad Li came out to see off the guests, they saw that Huang Chenguang's car, which had not appeared for a few days since that meeting, was parked on the side of the road again.
Xiaoxuan frowned, thinking to herself, it's time to meet Huang Chenguang to solve the problem and enhance the relationship. I just don't know if he has dealt with the two in his family??
Early the next morning, Xiaoxuan saw from the window that Huang Chenguang's car was still parked there, so she was about to go out to meet him and make everything that should be said clearly.
Who knows, Xiaoxuan hasn't washed up yet, and the mobile phone is tinkling over there. Xiaoxuan took the phone and saw that it was Xia Wei calling, Xia Wei asked Xiaoxuan if she had overslept? Why can't it come down yet.
Xiaoxuan then remembered that the time when the two of them agreed to look for their cousin together a year ago was today.
