Chapter 418: Fear and Defense
Waiting for Sheng Mu's figure to walk away, Sheng Hexuan took off the flat shoes on his feet and stepped on the grass barefoot.
Overhead, the sun shone softly, falling on her shoulder-length black hair, as if covered with a pale golden veil as thin as cicada wings, and the original pale complexion was like a light veil soaked in spring water in the flow of this halo, ready to fade away at any time.
Compared with Sheng Hexuan, who I saw more than half a year ago, the woman in front of me who was about to become a mother seemed to be more gentle, although there was no joy between her eyebrows and eyes, but she was calm.
It's as if a thumb-sized goldfish suddenly slipped into a waterhole that had sunk into a dead silence, bobbing its head and tail, bringing a touch of life to the calm and waveless pool.
Sheng Hexuan basked in the sun for a while, and then walked slowly in the direction of the bath.
I was sitting under the porch squinting in a daze, but when I saw her movements, I immediately jumped down and chased after her in a few steps.
Around the bath, the mist was billowing, but it was a little shallower than the previous days.
Sheng Hexuan walked to the edge of the pool, found a fairly smooth stone to sit on, and then put his feet into the pool to soak, and I followed her example, sitting on the stone beside her, and quietly sinking my feet into the water, almost shoulder to shoulder with her, half an arm's length.
As I got so close, I could feel the aura emanating from Sheng Hexuan's body, faint, docile, as if it was as tranquil and soft as having no quarrel with the world.
The woman in front of me is probably the most beautiful and simple appearance I have met several times.
At this time, Sheng Hexuan seemed to be alarmed by something, his eyes, which were still slightly squinted, suddenly opened, lowered his head to look at his stomach, the corners of his lips gently hooked a curvature, and whispered.
"Little one, you feel comfortable, don't you?"
She was talking to the child in her belly.
I looked at Sheng Hexuan curiously, although she lowered her head, but the gentle glimmer in her eyes at the moment was revealed, as if she had seen the appearance of her baby through her belly, which was not too high.
"In five months, you should be born, and Mom is really looking forward to meeting you!" she smiled, patted her belly lightly, and continued: "This is where Mom grew up, and many of the trees in the yard were planted by Mom when she was a child, and they are like Mom's friends, and they have always been with me
Grow, in the future, when you grow up, you can also come here to plant new trees and watch them grow taller and grow little by little. ”
I have to say that Sheng Hexuan really has a deep affection for this small courtyard, although she is not good at words, but every time I see her eyes when I look around this small courtyard, I can always see a trace of attachment and love.
"Mom will take good care of your ......"
At this moment when I was distracted, I didn't know what Sheng Hexuan was talking to himself again, and when I only heard the word 'protection', I pulled my consciousness back.
She was still staring at her stomach and said very attentively, "No one can separate our mother and son, not even your father, my mother will never allow him to hurt you, I will do everything in my power to protect you and watch you grow up safely!"
As I listened, I realized something was wrong.
Isn't this pregnancy and childbirth what Xu Yayun wants? Why did Sheng Hexuan say this, as if he ...... She was already afraid of something, who she was guarding against.
Harm......
Tiger poison doesn't eat children!
Is it possible for Xu Yayun to do it to his son?
I really don't understand.
On the side, Sheng Hexuan didn't say anything more, just hummed a ballad gently, although there were only tunes and no words, but it was very beautiful.
......
It didn't take long for Sheng Mu's voice to come from under the porch.
"Hexuan, the soup stewed for you is ready, hurry up and drink it!"
Sheng Hexuan walked up from the bath and was about to put on the shoes placed on the edge of the lawn, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of something and froze in place.
I followed her line of sight, only to find that a white corner was peeking out under the cluster of vines that had grown in a disorderly manner, and it was the portrait of the mythical beast that I had secretly hidden some time ago and had not let the servants dispose of it.
Inside, there's my favorite Shirasawa!
Sheng Hexuan frowned, walked over step by step, held her stomach and carefully squatted down, and took out the canvas hidden under the vine branches, on which hung a few yellowed fallen leaves, and some loose soil, all of which fell down with the movement she gently picked up.
On the other side, Sheng's mother waited for a while, but she didn't see her daughter, so she quickly looked for her, and when she saw Sheng Hexuan standing barefoot on the grass, she immediately shouted: "Ouch, you girl doesn't wear shoes, if she gets sick, it's my grandson who is tossing!"
With that, she walked in with the pair of flats.
Sheng Hexuan was startled by his mother's exclamation, his wrist shook slightly, and a few canvases almost slipped out of his fingers, and I frowned in distress.
Putting on his shoes, he heard Sheng Hexuan ask suspiciously, "Mother, why is my painting here?"
"What painting?"
Sheng Mu glanced at it casually, and muttered as if she was puzzled: "Strange, didn't you let the people in your family burn these paintings before? Why did they come out again? Hexuan, where did you find it?"
Sheng Hexuan pointed casually, "It's under this flower branch." ”
"That's the carelessness of the subordinates, I lost a few and didn't clean it up, don't think about some of the things that I don't have, they are all about to become mothers, think more about children when doing things and talking!" Sheng Mu frowned, and while admonishing, she reached out and snatched the canvas from Sheng Hexuan's hand, and stuffed it into her pocket indiscriminately.
Sheng Hexuan looked at her mother's movements with a faint expression, and did not stop it, as if those paintings were really meaningless to her.
The figure of the mother and daughter gradually faded away, and I could still hear Sheng's mother's chatter, what pregnant women should avoid, take a proper walk, and eat more nutritious products for the sake of the child.
Ay.
I looked at the red sunset on the horizon, and the helplessness in my heart was like clouds.
When is this dream going to be a head?
Do you really want me to be here like a wangfu stone, waiting for Sheng Hexuan's return every time? The question is, what's the use of watching her come back again and again, at this age, there are still more than ten years away from the age when she and we met in reality!
The more sad I felt when I thought about it.
I don't know what happened to Ye Dingxi and them now, is it because I can't wake up and I'm anxious, if there is a way to communicate with them, even if it's just a few words, it would be good......
