He cried so much.

Li Jingyan was ruthless, and instead of comforting him or paying attention to it, he stood up and said to Mu Shihuan calmly: "You take him back to the room, and I will handle the work." ”

He turned around and walked away.

Xiao Chen shed tears again: "Dad......"

Li Jingyan didn't look back.

Xiao Chen was speechless suddenly, just silently shed tears, he knew very well that although his father loved him, he would not spoil him, and it was impossible for his father to agree to him.

However, he really wanted to sleep with his parents.

"Daddy......" he cried again aggrieved and sad.

Li Jingyan did not relent.

Who knows—

"Okay, promise the minister, but just this time," Mu Shihuan's gentle voice sounded behind him, "Is it okay?" ”

Li Jingyan paused.

Xiao Chen suddenly burst into tears and laughed.

"Well, good! Thank you Mom! He nodded heavily, his voice full of anticipation, "Daddy......"

Li Jingyan turned around.

"Just this once." Mu Shihuan said to his gaze, trying to speak calmly.

Li Jingyan's throat was obscure, and there seemed to be some emotions coming out of his heart.

"Okay." Eventually, he agreed.

After saying this, he left.

"Thank you, Dad!" Xiao Chen said happily in the back.

Soon, his figure vanished.

Mu Shihuan took Xiao Chen's hand and went back to the room, took a tissue to wipe away his tears, and his tone did not change: "Take a bath?" ”

Xiao Chen's face couldn't hide his happiness.

"Hmm!"

When he was taking a bath, he even sang happily, which was more lively than he had ever been before.

Mu Shihuan saw it in his eyes and didn't say anything.

After taking a bath, she sat on the edge of the bed and told stories to coax the minister to sleep.

Xiao Chen couldn't sleep, his eyes kept blinking, but he didn't close his eyes.

"Mom."

"Huh?"

Xiao Chen poked his head out and looked forward to it: "When will Dad go back to the room?" ”

Mu Shihuan touched his head and said, "Dad still has work to deal with, it may be late, Xiaochen will sleep first." ”

The minister wanted to speak and stopped.

Mu Shihuan thought for a while and asked, "Dad never lied to you, did he?" ”

"Hmm!" The minister nodded sharply quickly.

Mu Shi raised his lower lip happily: "That's right, Dad won't lie to you, what he promised you will be done, let's sleep first, okay?" ”

"Okay."

Mother and son looked at each other and smiled.

In the end, it was a child, although Mu Shihuan could see that he had been holding on and waiting for Li Jingyan to come back, but when the biological clock arrived, he became very sleepy after a while, and he couldn't hold it anymore.

After a while, the little one fell asleep.

Seeing this, Mu Shihuan got up lightly, opened the suitcase not far away, and took out his dressing gown.

She didn't go to the cloakroom, even if Li Jingyan meant that her clothes were still there.

After taking the clothes and taking a bath, she went to bed and held the minister in her arms, patted him on the back and put her arms around him to sleep.

Xiao Chen slept soundly, and occasionally whispered to his parents.

Mu Shihuan heard clearly, and she was not sleepy for a while, but she still closed her eyes and let herself fall asleep as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, she woke up from her dream again.

In a trance, I thought it had been a long time, but I looked at my phone and found that it had only been more than two hours, and now it was almost early in the morning.

On the other side of the minister, Li Jingyan has not returned.

Stunned for a moment, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed gently, ready to pour a glass of water to drink.

Second floor

There was a small living room, and naturally there was water ready, but somehow, she involuntarily walked downstairs, until she saw that the living room was lit and someone was sitting on the sofa.

The person who was sitting, even if he only looked at the back, Mu Shihuan still recognized it at a glance.

It's Li Jingyan.

She was stunned for only two seconds, then decided to go upstairs.

"What's going on?" She thought he hadn't heard her movements, but she didn't expect to be stopped by him.

Mu Shihuan held on to the armrest, lowered his eyes, and then turned around naturally.

"Pour a glass of water." She said.

Li Jingyan has gotten up.

"Sit down, I'll pour it for you." After that, he didn't give Mu Shihuan a chance to refuse, and raised his feet and went to the other side.

Mu Shihuan couldn't stop it.

Eventually, she walked over to the couch and sat down on the other side.

It was also at this time that she noticed several cigarette butts piled up in the ashtray on the coffee table, one of which could be seen to have just been crushed, and a cup of cooled coffee on the other side.

"It's about the same temperature, you can drink it." A glass of boiled water was handed to her.

Mu Shihuan retracted his gaze and took it.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

The two of them said politely and calmly, which was a picture that Xiao Chen had never had before he found it.

Li Jingyan sat down in his original seat, took a sip of coffee.

Mu Shihuan also held the cup and drank her water.

Neither of them spoke again, and the atmosphere was quiet.

In the end, it was Li Jingyan who took the lead in breaking the silence: "Tonight's kind of thing, I promise that it will be the last time, and I will find a chance to talk to Xiaochen." ”

Mu Shihuan drank the water, held it in the palm of his hand, and looked at him when he heard the words.

Li Jingyan subconsciously took out a cigarette and wanted to light it, thinking that she was still there, she couldn't hold back and just played.

"Because we don't have to, and we don't want to embarrass you," he said in a deep voice, "we owe him, but we don't need to make it up like that." ”

Mu Shihuan understood what he meant.

"Okay." She didn't say anything, just nodded.

Li Jingyan's gaze fell on her, his Adam's apple rolled, and he asked again: "Xiaochen's name...... Have you thought about it? ”

Mu Shihuan shook his head.

Li Jingyan was silent.

"By September, he should go to school," his voice lowered several degrees, "he hasn't been to school, and when he's well, I'll ask you a teacher to study at home." ”

It's actually time to go to school.

But firstly, they have been apart for too long and need to make up for that time together, and secondly, he needs to learn first, so that he will not be unable to keep up with anything when he arrives at school.

"I will invite the best teacher, you can rest assured." He looked at Mu Shihuan and said.

Mu Shihuan nodded, and the hand holding the cup tightened unconsciously: "Okay." ”

Li Jingyan caught it.

"Before school starts," he said, "I'll send him over, and then he'll go to school in Pingcheng and come to me on weekends during the winter and summer vacations, is it okay?" ”

Mu Shihuan was stunned.

What does he mean......

Li Jingyan knew what she was thinking, and said it for her: "Xiaochen will be by your side in the future, so it's best to choose a name as soon as possible, there are still many procedures to be done." ”

The right to name the child is in her, whether it is a surname Li or a surname, it is up to her to decide, not only that, but the custody of the minister is also given to her......

Mu Shihuan digested these and pursed his lips.

Suddenly, she looked at him fixedly, thinking that she would ask calmly, but she didn't expect her voice to be a lot hoarse: "Are you willing?" ”

She actually knew the real reason why he did this-

He was trying to make it up to her as much as he could.

Compensate for all the things after giving birth to the child, compensate for the years of separation of their mother and child, even

Is it compensation...... A second child who is not available abroad.

He knew that she couldn't do without Xiaochen, and he knew that she also wanted to compensate Xiaochen.

"Are you willing?" She asked abruptly.

He and Xiaochen, haven't they been separated from father and son for many years?

The two looked at each other.

No one looked away.

The Adam's apple rolled again, and Li Jingyan said in a dumb voice: "Reluctantly, but in this way, it is good for you and us, I will let the minister accept it, rest assured." ”

Mu Shihuan wanted to say something, but her throat and eyes seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't make any sound.

And she felt as if she didn't know or know what she could say in response to him.

She was silent.

Li Jingyan is the same.

"It's not early, you go up to sleep." Li Jingyan suddenly spoke.

Almost, Mu Shihuan blurted out what about you?

But she held back.

She and he are no longer husband and wife.

"Okay." She put down her glass and got up to leave.

Li Jingyan didn't look back at her.

Mu Shihuan walked upstairs step by step, he was still sitting in the same place, and the distance between the two was getting farther and farther.

And finally, Mu Shihuan's figure disappeared at the staircase.

Li Jingyan still has a cigarette between his fingers.

He lit and took a puff.

The dim light shrouded him, and his figure seemed a little lonely.

After a long time, when the cigarette was finished, he got up, first went to the bathroom to wash off the smell of smoke on his body, and then returned to the bedroom.

In the bedroom, both mother and son were asleep.

He put the warm boiled water he had prepared habitually on the bedside table, looked down, and saw that neither of them had covered the quilt properly, so he carefully tucked the quilt for the two of them.

He didn't go to bed, but went to sit on the couch.

But he didn't expect Xiao Chen to wake up suddenly, and asked sleepily: "Dad, you're back, why don't you come to sleep?" ”

As soon as he woke up, Mu Shihuan also woke up as soon as possible.

Mother and son looked at the sofa in unison.

Li Jingyan originally wanted to spend the night on the sofa and go to the bedside when Xiao Chen was about to wake up in the morning, but he didn't expect to wake up suddenly.

Xiao Chen's eyes were expectant.

"Come on." In the end, he relented.

Xiao Chen was very happy, very happy.

"Daddy, come on!" He lifted the corner of the quilt and patted him on the side.

Li Jingyan approached and went to bed.

At the same time, he turned off the lights.

"Sleep."

Even though it was dark and he couldn't see his parents, Xiao Chen was still very happy, and the joy in his voice couldn't be hidden.

"Hmm!" He nodded.

As soon as Li Jingyan lay down, he felt that Xiao Chen was holding his hand, and he didn't care.

Until, his hand was brought to his stomach by the minister, and it touched another hand that was as soft as a boneless.

It's Mu Shihuan's.

Mu Shihuan also felt it.

Both of them stiffened slightly, only Xiao Chen didn't seem to feel it, and kept immersed in a happy atmosphere: "Mom and Dad, let's sleep!" ”

He held their hands tightly together.

Li Jingyan moved slightly, and he clenched it, and so did Mu Shihuan.

In the end, both of them had no choice but to give up.

After all, I promised him tonight.

Xiao Chen slept in the middle, and the smile on his face in the dark could not be hidden, he was very excited, and the excitement was relieved, so he slowly fell asleep again in peace of mind.

Li Jingyan felt his breathing become steady.

Waiting, waiting, while he was asleep, he cautiously tried to take his hand away.

Don't want to......
