CHAPTER XXXI
He Qiduo looked at Yao Suqing with a serious expression, and said slowly: "Mother Xia, let me take the liberty of asking, have you really cared about Xia Yang since you brought him to this world?" ”
Yao Suqing was stunned for a moment because of her question.
Xia Yang's cold expression when he left just now flashed in his mind. She used to think so ......, but now she ...... She wasn't sure at this moment either......
He said softly and gently for her to give an answer: "In my current opinion, you should not care that much. ”
Yao Suqing shook his head and denied: "No, I ......"
It was only then that she realized that she couldn't say anything that would make her refute......
He Qiduo looked at the woman in front of him with her mouth open and dazed face, and continued in a calm tone: "Mother Xia, do you remember what day it is? ”
Yao Suqing heard her question, and her eyes unconsciously fell on the box of birthday cakes at the door.
After a moment, her eyes widened slightly.
He Qiduo replied first: "Yes, today is Xia Yang's birthday." Mother Xia, you forgot. ”
"I'm ......" Yao Suqing's slightly stubborn eyes were slightly reddened.
He said slowly: "You forgot. However, maybe Xia Yang was looking forward to seeing you come back. I thought you were coming back for his birthday. Until, you found out that you had come back from drinking and lost your temper at him. He just knew, it turned out that you don't remember. ”
He Duoduo looked at Xia Mu, whose face was painful and her chest was slightly heaving, and continued: "That's why he asked you sadly, did you care about him?" Do you care about the home you and him have always had? If you care about him, then what are the previous ones? ”
Yao Suqing's face was slightly red due to drunkenness, and his eyes looked at the floor a little dazed.
Be...... Why?
He asked with a sad expression, "Mother Xia?" Do you know what Xia Yang likes to eat? …… Do you know what Xia Yang's hobby is? …… How was his grades in school? Do you know if he had a stomach problem and did he ever do it again? Do you know what his body can't eat? …… Do you know all of this? ”
All the questions smashed into Yao Suqing's heart like a hammer.
She...... I don't know, it's all ...... I don't know......
He Duoduo's eyes were slightly red, and he asked slowly: "Mother Xia, Xia Yang is your child, no matter what ...... How he is your only child. "Even in an unhappy marriage, giving birth to him is still only your only family.
Yao Suqing's heart has been suppressed for a long time and continues to slide from the corners of her eyes, and her shoulders tremble slightly, reflecting her inner unpeace.
How much do I know that Xia Mu has a strong character, and she will never allow herself to show her weak side in front of outsiders.
He Qiduo handed her the tissue, retracted his gaze, and said softly: "I think Mother Xia needs time to stay quiet by herself now, so I'll go to find out where Xia Yang is going first." ”
Yao Suqing didn't nod or shake his head, he just looked sad, trying to suppress his emotions.
He Qiduo looked at her deeply, bowed and left, taking the cake box that had been placed in the door with him as he left.
……
He looked left and right along the way, but he couldn't find him.
There are so many eyebrows and eyes full of worry.
Where will he go at this time?
He Qiduo suddenly remembered the plot in the novel, and joy appeared in his eyes.
How could she have forgotten that she was the author of this novel!
Haha, she knows where he is now.
He Qiduo turned around and ran in the opposite direction, and halfway through the run, he suddenly remembered that he was still carrying a cake in his hand, so he slowly slowed down his running pace.
Huayu Garden Center Lakeside.
He Qiduo came around the lake, looking around, until a minute later he saw the familiar back sitting by the lake.
The cold outside the lake style at night makes people's skin feel cool from the bottom of their hearts.
He was a little panting, calming his breath, just standing behind him and looking at his back.
In the past, when he was young, he also looked forward to his parents remembering his birthday, and then the family was happy and celebrated his birthday together. Later, he was disappointed a lot, and he didn't look forward to it.
But even if you have a mature and calm heart, you will inevitably be lost when it comes to this day. So, every time he came to this time, he would sit all day on the lakeside of Huayu Park.
If this is the case, his heart will be as calm as the surface of this lake......
Xia Yang's eyes were flat and deep as he looked at the sparkling lake, letting the cold wind blow the tips of his hair on his forehead.
How much I watched this scene, and the sourness in my heart couldn't help but spread in my chest little by little.
She withdrew her gaze with a complicated expression and looked at the cake box placed next to her......
Suddenly, a soft singing voice broke all the lonely and cold haze in Xia Yangshengtang.
"I wish you a happy birthday~ I wish you a happy birthday~ I wish you a happy birthday~ I wish you a happy birthday~~ I wish you a happy birthday~"
Hearing the singing, Xia Yang's back stiffened slightly, then he turned around quickly, with a slightly surprised look, and looked at how many people came over with a smile on his face holding the cake.
He walked up to him with a smile while singing a birthday song. Her smiling face looked exceptionally warm in the warm light of the candles. She smiled and said softly to Xia Yang: "Xia Yang, happy birthday." ”
Xia Yang looked at her in the warm light of the candle, her extraordinarily bright smiling eyes, a little dumbfounded. He opened his mouth, his throat was a little dry, and asked slowly, "...... How did you end up here? ”
He smiled so much that he said with a natural face: "Because you are here." ”
She said that as it should be......
Hearing her answer, Xia Yang's heart seemed to be warmly covered by a hand, and the warmth instantly flowed to every part of her body.
Xia Yang smiled lightly, and looked at the girl in front of him who was looking at him expectantly.
He looked at his gentle expression to the extreme, and was stunned. When he came back to his senses, he found that the candles were already half burned, he still looked at himself and smiled, and immediately urged: "Hurry up and make a wish, the candle is almost burning!" ”
Xia Yang smiled and closed his eyes as he wished, and after a while, lowered his head and blew out the candle.
He Qiduo smiled at his gentle expression after making a wish, and asked curiously, "Xia Yang, ...... What did you just wish? ”
With a gentle smile in his eyes, Xia Yang reached out and brushed the hair on the top of her head: "If you say it, it won't come true." ”
When he heard this, he immediately suppressed his curiosity, shook his head and said, "Then you still don't tell me, it's not good if it doesn't work later." ”
Xia Yang touched the hair on the top of her head with a light smile and said softly: "In the future, I will tell you what my wish is today." ”
He opened his eyes wide and asked with a smile, "Really?" Then I'm going to be looking forward to it. ”
Xia Yang's palm moved down to He Qiduo's smiling crescent-shaped eyes, gently brushed his fingers across the corners of her eyes, and said softly with a smile: "Okay." ”
He Qiduo lifted the cake in his hand and smiled, "Let's eat the cake." This birthday cake is orange-flavored, and you're sure to love it. ”
Xia Yang withdrew her hand with a smile, took the cake in her hand, and responded softly, "Okay." ”
Looking at his gentle expression, he couldn't help but feel peaceful and soft in his heart. She smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go get the plate that is sitting there." ”
After seeing Xia Yang nodding his head, he turned around and ran to the chair not far away, and after taking something from it, he looked up and found that Xia Yang was looking at him intently, and he also smiled sweetly at him, and ran back with a smile on his face.
He Duoduo lowered his head and carefully cut the cake, and finally handed Xia Yang a piece of cake with little cream but a lot of orange flesh on it.
………
They sat by the lake, facing the cool lake breeze and eating birthday cakes, which had a unique flavor.
He Qiduo stuffed the last bite of cake on the plate into her mouth, the sweetness of the orange made her eyes bend into a crescent shape, and deliciously said: "This cake is so delicious, isn't it!" ”
The cream was on the top of her mouth, but she smiled and squinted her eyes unconsciously, savoring the deliciousness of the cake.
Xia Yang looked at the food next to him with a satisfied face, and the smile in his eyes couldn't help but deepen, he put the orange flesh on the plate into the plate slowly, and said softly: "Slow down, if you like to eat and want to eat in the future, I'll buy it for you." ”
He listened to his gentle tone to the bottom of his heart, looked at the flesh that Xia Yang kept putting on the plate, and looked at the increasing flesh on the plate with a somewhat stunned expression, and his heartbeat accelerated a little bit for some reason.
Xia Yang saw that she hadn't moved for a long time, looked at her confused eyes, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
Hearing the inquiry, he slowly came back to his senses, and looked at Xia Yang's concerned eyes with a complicated expression.
He Qiduo's eyes drooped, and after a moment of silence, she looked at Xia Yang seriously and said slowly: "...... Xia Yang, don't be so ...... to me Well, if you're so nice to me again, I'm afraid ...... "I'll be scared of myself...... will like you, then, and then ...... No longer distracted, will become wanted...... More...... More......
Xia Yang looked at her with a tangled expression, and asked softly, "What are you afraid of?" ”
Listening to his coaxing voice, He Duo's heart suddenly felt like it had been stabbed, she raised her head and opened her lips, frowned slightly, looked at his gentle eyes, and mustered up the courage to say word by word: "...... I'm afraid I'm going to like you even more, like you so much that I want more and more, and then I'm going to pestering you even harder, and I'm going to keep pestering you. So, if ...... If you don't want to be so embarrassed anymore, please, please don't be so nice to me. ”
For a moment, how much I heard Xia Yang's breathing suddenly become heavier.
Xia Yang looked at her serious expression, her Adam's apple moved slightly, and she said in a dumb voice: "Is this what you are afraid of?" ”
He looked at his eyes that were deeper than just now, couldn't help but palpitate, and he thought he was quietly looking away from the handover, and said "um" softly.
Xia Yang looked at her unnatural and shy expression, the smile in her eyes deepened, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth became more obvious.
He placed the lingering gaze on her face to her pink lips pursed with nervousness.
