Chapter 424: Alone
Shijia.
As soon as the three of them got home, after waiting for Xiaochen all day, the parents couldn't wait to take him to the living room, play with him, talk to him, ask him what he was playing today, ask him if he ate fruit, and so on.
Everyone's love for him is beyond words, and they can't wait to take him by their side and watch him all the time.
With him, the Shi family laughed significantly more than before.
Mu Shihuan saw it in his eyes, and his face couldn't help but overflow with a lot of smiles.
Because he was very tired today, Xiaochen began to feel sleepy before nine o'clock, Mu Shihuan took him to say good night to everyone and took him upstairs.
didn't let the aunt at home help, and she took care of the ministers by herself.
I was a little unskilled last night, but today it's a lot better.
Take a bath, blow your hair, tell a story......
It didn't take long for the minister to fall asleep with exhaustion.
Mu Shihuan covered the quilt for him, and he habitually leaned over and kissed him on the forehead.
"Good night." She whispered.
"Knock knock—"
There was a knock on the door.
Mu Shihuan got up and went to open the door.
It's Aunt Yang.
"The old lady told you to go."
Mu Shihuan nodded and said yes, turned around and looked at the eyes, and Aunt Yang said that she would take care of her.
After a few words, Mu Shihuan went to Mrs. Shi's room.
knocked on the door and waited for her to respond from inside before pushing the door in.
"Grandma."
"Come here."
Mu Shihuan approached and saw that the old lady was painting.
She knew that her grandmother drew very well, but for so many days, she had only seen it two or three times, and she heard her aunt say that her grandmother liked to paint when her grandfather was still there, and then her grandfather left, and her grandmother drew less.
No one spoke, the room was quiet.
It wasn't until the last stroke was finished that the old lady said, "Accompany your grandmother to recite the Buddha for a while, you haven't recited the Buddha for a while." ”
Mu Shihuan listened to it and was immediately a little ashamed.
After returning from the countryside, Shi Tingzhou often took her out, and indeed the number of times she accompanied her grandmother to chant Buddhism became less, and it used to be a compulsory course every day in the countryside.
"Okay." didn't defend himself, Mu Shihuan responded.
Mrs. Shi didn't say anything.
The two of them were like in the countryside, meditating on the Buddha.
Wait for the volume to finish.
Mrs. Shi opened her eyes: "Pour a cup of flower tea for grandma." ”
Influenced by Mu Shihuan, and because she was too old to drink tea at night, Mrs. Shi was also used to drinking flower tea.
Mu Shihuan heard this and quickly got up.
Tea was brewed, and each of them had a cup.
The aroma is tangy.
Mrs. Shi spoke: "Have you calmed down?" ”
Mu Shihuan sat opposite her.
Hearing this, she was slightly stunned.
"Grandma'......"
Mrs. Shi took a sip of tea and tasted it quietly: "I have been with my grandmother for so long to recite the Buddha, has my heart really calmed down?" Do you know what your grandmother really means when she wants you to meditate? ”
Mu Shihuan's lips pursed slightly.
"Yes." She replied.
"So, have you meditated?"
Mu Shihuan and her grandmother looked at each other.
"It's quiet." She nodded.
"Really?"
asked very calmly, Mu Shihuan should have nodded yes, but he didn't know why, but it was difficult to make a sound.
After a long time, she repeated: "It's quiet." ”
She blinked.
"Grandma'......"
"Whether it's a person or a thing, you need to look forward." Mrs. Shi interrupted her and said calmly, "If you can't do it, grandma can help you, but grandma can help you once or twice, and it is impossible to be by your side all the time." ”
Mu Shihuan choked.
She thought of the fact that her grandmother asked her to meet the grandmother and grandson of the Zhou family.
"Fu Lai, that kid is very good." Old Madam Shi knew that she thought of that piece, and said directly, "It's a pity that you are not the type he likes, and neither is he." ”
Really.
Mu Shihuan knew at that time that her grandmother was not going to meddle in her emotional affairs, but as she said, let go of the past and look forward.
"I didn't think about the past." She tried to make it clear.
"Grandma knows."
Mu Shihuan suddenly didn't know what to say.
"So Grandma said, you haven't really meditated yet." Mrs. Shi put down the teacup and said, "Okay, let's go back and rest, I'm tired today, I'll come back tomorrow night." ”
"Grandma'......"
"Let's go back."
Mu Shihuan finally stood up.
Back in the bedroom, Aunt Yang left, she sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the sleeping minister without blinking, and her fingers couldn't help but caress his little face.
She watched for a long, long time.
Finally, she got up and went to the couch, found the handkerchief from last night and went to the bathroom.
Patient, meticulous cleaning, followed by drying.
Finally, she folded it neatly and put it away.
I wanted to send it to Jiang Wen now, but when I walked downstairs, I realized that it was almost eleven o'clock.
Late at night is not a good time to go to him.
Mu Shihuan could only give up for the time being.
After returning to the room, she washed up briefly, and she went to bed and hugged Xiaochen to sleep.
This night, she was finally able to fall asleep.
……
The next few days were pretty much the same.
Mu Shihuan took Xiaochen to play all over Pingcheng, took him to eat delicious food, took pictures of him, and the mother and son also took selfies, and every happy time was recorded.
Xiao Chen will talk to Li Jingyan on the phone or video every day, and every now and then, Mu Shihuan will either walk away, or accompany him silently, and he will not make a sound, nor will he see Li Jingyan.
The minister didn't seem to notice.
After playing for two days, the elders in the family began to sit still, and they really thought that Xiaochen didn't want to be separated for a moment, so they simply took their mother and son to the surrounding cities to play.
There is nothing you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't play.
Playing around, the mother-son relationship between Xiaochen and Mu Shihuan is not only close, but also becomes very familiar and intimate with everyone in the Shi family.
In this way, more than a week passed in the laughter.
For more than a week, Mu Shihuan has always accompanied Xiaochen, and he only has him in his eyes, only at night when he falls asleep, he will go to accompany his grandmother to chant Buddha together.
No one bothered her.
Jiang Wen didn't contact her, Mu Sinian sent a text message, but she ignored it and pulled into the blacklist.
Time entered the second week, and one day Mr. and Mrs. Zongping took Xiao Chen out to play and meet friends.
Mu Shihuan was a little uncomfortable and slept for a while, and when she woke up, Xiao Chen hadn't come back yet, she sat there for a long time.
When she came back to her senses, it was her uncle when Zongping called, saying that he would take Xiaochen to live in the resort hotel tonight and would not come back, and Xiaochen also called her and said that he would be obedient.
Mu Shihuan instructed a few words.
Without Xiaochen by her side, the inseparability of this period of time suddenly stopped, and she inexplicably felt uncomfortable.
I want to be alone and quiet for a while, but I don't know what is going on, and I miss the Buddha as well.
Finally, she changed her clothes and went out.
After letting the driver take her to the city center, she asked the driver to go back and wandered aimlessly by herself.
Wandering around, a little hungry, she suddenly wanted to eat hot pot with Li Yan, but Yanyan was still busy abroad, even if she was abroad, she was reluctant to let her come over because she wanted to eat hot pot.
A ...... alone
In the end, Mu Shihuan didn't go to eat hot pot, but turned around
And went to the famous food alley in Pingcheng.
She didn't expect to meet Jiang Wen on the road.
So suddenly.
Since he said that night, he didn't bother her again, as if he wanted to give her time to think it through herself, and he was also very busy, listening to Shi Tingzhou occasionally mention it twice.
It was Jiang Wen who saw her first.
"Shi Huan."
He was carrying something in his hands.
"Brother Jiang Wen." Mu Shihuan said hello.
I haven't seen her for a while, and when I meet at this moment, Jiang Wen is reluctant to take his eyes off her, but he is afraid that she will be uncomfortable.
"Alone?" He asked.
Mu Shihuan nodded.
At this time, the sunset was gorgeous, and the afterglow fell on her face, which was exciting.
Jiang Wen's heart moved slightly.
"Have you eaten?" He subconsciously asked, not giving her a chance to refuse, and he said, "I bought vegetables and wanted to cook hot pot, but I can't eat them alone, together?" ”
Mu Shihuan remembered in a trance that his apartment was nearby.
But go to his apartment......
Seeing her thoughts, Jiang Wen was a little nervous, and said with a smile: "It's just that friends are eating together, if you don't feel at ease, I'll call Ting Zhou." ”
When it came to this, Mu Shihuan did not refuse again.
Let alone......
"You're welcome." She chuckled.
Just at this glance, Jiang Wen suddenly had the illusion that the tip of his heart was brushing an electric current.
She really looks good when she laughs.
……
"Nobody wore it." When she arrived at the apartment, Jiang Wen took a pair of disposable slippers from the shoe cabinet and handed them to her.
Mu Shihuan took it: "Thank you." ”
Jiang Wen wanted to say that there was no need to be polite, but in the end he swallowed back.
Inside, he told her to rest: "I'll go and prepare, it will be fine soon, you can just watch it, or do you want to watch TV?" ”
Mu Shihuan shook his head: "I'll sit for a while." ”
Before she came back, she said to help, but Jiang Wen refused, saying that she was a guest and there was no reason to let the guest do it.
Jiang Wen poured her a glass of water.
"If you are bored, you can go to the study." He whispered and went to the kitchen.
Soon, his figure disappeared.
Mu Shihuan looked at it for a while, took a sip of water from the cup, and unintentionally swept his eyes over the apartment, and found that the apartment was very clean, and the style was not gray, black and white like ordinary men, but more Nordic, with a little softness.
After not sitting for a while, she got up and went to the balcony to watch the sunset.
I inadvertently saw a car downstairs.
She did.
Ever since she came to Pingcheng, the car has been following her, even if she said she didn't need to.
Stunned, she suddenly lost interest in enjoying the view, she turned around and sat down on the chaise longue and closed her eyes.
Jiang Wen fried the hot pot base and put it in the pot, ready to put in the ingredients when the water boiled, and when the restaurant was cleaned up, he looked up but didn't see Mu Shihuan.
He was slightly stunned, thinking that she was gone.
"Shi Huan?" The Adam's apple rolled, and he blurted out.
No one should be.
Ignoring the hot pot, Jiang Wen hurriedly looked for it in the apartment.
The apartment is a large flat floor, there are many rooms, he went straight to the study, but did not find her, after realizing something, he returned to the entrance, saw that the shoes that belonged to her were still there, and the heart of the mention fell.
Thinking of something again, he finally looked at the balcony.
Approach.
Sure enough, she was.
and fell asleep.
There is the only afterglow of the sunset scattered in, and this corner with her seems to become peaceful all of a sudden, beautiful like a painting, which makes people just want to indulge in it all the time and don't want to leave.
couldn't help it, Jiang Wen approached again.
