Chapter 36: The Way Home
The second is that he is faintly looking forward to it in his heart, waiting for Anya to come back again, he didn't expect that this wait would be 5 years, during which he was almost desperate, without any hope, desperate to marry the sister who was somewhat similar to her.
But he really didn't expect that Anya would come back 5 years later, and appear in front of him like this, and no longer disappear after a period of time like the previous times, but stay in this body for a long time.
It can even be said that this kind of life makes Yi Ling feel unprecedented cherishment and satisfaction, but these are not enough for him to want this woman to really fall in love with him.
The Yi family's private car came to them and left from the school.
Yi Ling sat in the front passenger seat, and Anya and Yi An sat in the back.
Although Yi Ling is working on her mobile phone, she is absent-minded. He saw through the mirror in front of the car that his son Yi An in the back row was lying in Anya's arms, holding an iPad to look at the photos they took during the spring outing, laughing or commenting from time to time.
Yi Ling didn't know what was wrong with her, her heart was like numbness, and her eyes always drifted into the rearview mirror unconsciously. Even, at the moment when he just got into the car, his selfish intention was actually to sit in the back seat with Anya and Yi'an, but fortunately, he dispelled this idea in advance before opening the co-pilot's door.
"Mom?"
Yi An's voice came from the back row,
"Why are there only photos of me and my mother, or me and my father, and my father and mother?"
This is a rather awkward question.
Anya smiled, touched his head, and didn't answer.
There was Karen Mok's "Cloudy Day" in the car, and Yi An still pulled the iPad without raising his head, but he didn't know that his casual words actually stinged Yi Ling a little. Yi Ling has been pampered since he was a child, holding the Yi Shi Group, he is the prince of R City, and he has seen countless women, but he never thought of planting a heel here in Anya.
Anya is at a distance from herself, and he knows it. The conversation was not awkward, and the picnic was pleasant, but he quietly avoided holding her hand while walking.
They are engaged, but not like a husband and wife, but like neighbors or friends. But Yi Ling's character never allows things that are not under his control to exist, so he won't let the two of them just maintain their current relationship. The son of the Yi family, who has always dominated the business world, inevitably falls into clichés when it comes to feelings.
Yi Ling did not answer his son's question, but asked the driver to change the song to Jay Chou's "All the Way North". The corners of his mouth curled imperceptibly, he had lived with Anya for a while, and it wasn't difficult to learn about her preferences.
But then, he said very melancholy: yes, why didn't he take a photo with Anya? It's nothing to take a group photo, but to no avail, Yi Ling can only live his own sulking life.
The scenery outside the window has changed, and the car has driven into the main city. In the back row, Yi An didn't know when he had fallen asleep, and his white and tender little hands were still grabbing Anya's sleeves. Just when Yi Ling looked at the back row through the mirror, Anya also looked at him through the mirror when he faced the back row.
For a moment, both of them were stunned, slightly embarrassed. After a few seconds, Anya looked away faintly and looked out the window.
There was a long silence after that......
"When we have time, we can go and take a family photo."
Yi Ling turned his head in Anya's direction and said plainly.
"Huh?" Anya was puzzled by Yi Ling's abrupt question, "Since you want to shoot, then shoot." ”
Immediately neither of them spoke.
When Yi An woke up, he was almost home, clamoring to drink Coke, and after being reprimanded by Yi Ling for a few words, he looked at Anya with tears in his eyes.
"Since Yi'an is doing so well today, it's not impossible for you to drink."
But Anya ignored Yi Ling's reprimand, gently stroked Yi An's head, and agreed to Yi An's request to drink Coke.
Yi Ling didn't speak, Yi An knew, this was agreed. Yan'an regressed when she saw her father like this, showed a bright smile to her mother, and whispered to her mother, "Thank you, Mom, I will definitely be more obedient in the future." And Yi Ling's face in the front row was a little gloomy.
The spring outing was actually very tiring, and when they got home, the three of them were exhausted, so they simply washed up and went to sleep. It's still like that, Yi Ling and Anya sleep separately, but since the last fever, Yi An always has something to do and makes excuses to sleep with Anya, at first Yi An's excuse was that he was not sick and didn't recover, and he needed to be taken care of by his mother, but after a long time, he didn't leave.
Yi Ling slept alone in bed and unexpectedly suffered from insomnia. The pictures of today's spring outing are all in my mind: Anya who is smiling, Anya who is trotting by Yi'an's hand, Anya who frowns when she eats chili peppers during a picnic, and Anya who takes pictures of wildflowers on the side of the road with a camera......
Yi Ling remembered how he had treated Anya before, and he had a headache thinking about it, and he couldn't wait to travel back in time and beat himself up. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and by the time he reacted, the person had already walked out of the room and knocked on Anya's door next door.
Anya opened the door. She was wearing a loose suspender pajamas, her hair was loosely draped, her eyes were slightly squinted, and she looked tired.
But this still can't hide her proud figure, which is not at all like a mother with a child.
"What's wrong?" Anya yawned.
Yi Ling looked at Anya who was dressed like this, his heartbeat actually increased a little, and his mouth was a little dry, he didn't have seen a woman before, but this time he felt different from before, and the language was organized several times before he opened his mouth and spit out a few words: Good night. Let's take a family photo tomorrow.
"Good night." Anya closed the door gently, leaving Yi Ling alone outside the door.
Yi Ling didn't know how he fell asleep last night, and when he woke up, it was already past ten o'clock, but fortunately, there was no important work to deal with in the past two days, and he also pushed off some tedious little things because of the spring outing.
When Yi Ling went downstairs, Yi An was silently waiting for breakfast to start. Seeing Yi Ling coming downstairs, he didn't say anything, after all, Anya was not by his side at this time, and he had no confidence.
"Where's your mother?" Yi Ling asked Yi An very indifferently, even the two warm words "mother" were cold by him.
Yi An pointed to the kitchen
"Mommy is in the kitchen."
Yi An's tone was still as respectful and polite as ever.
When Yi Ling heard this, he walked towards the kitchen, thinking in his heart that he seemed to be a lot gentler with Yi An recently.
Yi Ling walked to the kitchen door without saying a word.
The kitchen was empty, and only Anya was busy. Because it's past breakfast time, the chefs are already off work or busy doing their own thing. But Anya is still preparing a special breakfast for Yi'an, who got up late.
