Chapter 265: The Closest Brother
Xi Lingyan's back was so weak and stubborn in Qin Shaojing's eyes, this woman seemed to be pouring all her energy and forbearance into her determination to live a better life alone.
He looked around the small apartment, with a camel-colored carpet under the milky white dining table, bright but low-key lovely flowers on the table, and some unrefined but creative handicrafts on the windowsill.
Probably Xi Zhiyu did it, even if it was not good-looking, Xi Lingyan still put it up seriously, and it could be seen that Xi Lingyan was trying to live his life into a poem.
It's like a lifetime, so long has passed since they were separated from the hospital, and she has the impression that she is so helpless and ruthless, and she was extremely disappointed in her because she wanted to give Xiao Zicheng a blood transfusion regardless of her son's life.
And now I can't help but feel distressed to see her living so hard with her children alone, but I have never heard her ask for help or compensation from herself over the years, and her father will definitely no longer care about her, so how difficult is she and how much she has experienced alone.
Before, she didn't know how to cook or do housework at all, but now, seeing her skillfully shuttling around the kitchen, how could he not worry in his heart?
Just as Qin Shaojing looked at her and was stunned, a small hand patted him.
He looked down and saw a milk doll looking at him with big eyes but full of reluctance, and handed him a glass of water with her other hand.
Qin Shaojing was afraid that he would spill the water, so he hurriedly took it, responded with a smile unconsciously, and said, "Thank you." ”
I saw that the little milk baby didn't eat this set, holding her hands on her chest and pretending to be mature, coughing twice, as if she wanted to announce something particularly important to him.
"Since you have divorced my mother, you are not qualified to say that my mother is bad." The words spoken in a milky voice are so amazing, this little brat, do you know what divorce means, just say it.
However, his appearance and personality made Qin Shaojing sigh that he was really like himself, smart, cold, and loved the same woman - Xi Lingyan.
Xi Zhiyu's words made Qin Shaojing surprised and heartbroken, yes, they are already divorced, what qualifications does he have to say about her here, it's just that he feels sorry for his child who is only 3 years old and works.
However, according to the current situation, this kid should get along well with Xi Lingyan, and it can even be said that he was taught well by Xi Lingyan, although he didn't have a good impression of himself, he still handed him a glass of water. The basic etiquette is in place.
When Qin Shaojing heard this, his smile froze on his face, he didn't know what to say, the matter of divorce, the people around him didn't dare to mention a word for so many years, and now he heard his children remind him that he had divorced, and he still couldn't stop feeling uncomfortable.
He clearly remembered that when the lawyer handed her the divorce agreement, she didn't say a word "I'll think about it for a few days", Qin Shaojing watched Xi Lingyan write down his name one by one in the corner of the hospital, his eyes were full of determination.
He didn't understand why she was so ruthless, just for Xiao Zicheng?
He has always been unwilling to accept this fact, Xi Lingyan divorced himself for another man, and even had no children, Qin Shaojing could turn against her and his mother for her, and how could she easily sign the divorce agreement, could it be that those days when there were only the two of them were just a show?
He spent a period of time in the process of being difficult to accept and forcing himself to admit it. He didn't want to think about the past days, and he looked at the little son in front of him with a water glass and felt very rusty.
"Brother, come over and play together!" Qin Zhiheng has been very happy since he entered this house and learned that he has a younger brother, Qin Shaojing usually can't accompany him because he is busy with work, although he always runs around with a group of bodyguards, he doesn't feel happy, and he hasn't been able to successfully attract Qin Shaojing's attention once, and now he actually has a younger brother, and he is so cute, but he is very happy.
Qin Zhiheng hurriedly bypassed Qin Shaojing to take his brother's hand, and the two children looked at each other and laughed, "My name is Qin Zhiheng, what about you?" ”
"Xi Zhiyu."
The two children became acquainted with each other so inexplicably, and perhaps the children were able to ignore those because of their simplicity, so no matter what happened between the adults, they were still the closest brothers.
But Qin Shaojing and Xi Lingyan can't do this, Qin Shaojing and his youngest son can't do it either, when Qin Shaojing is still thinking about how to open his mouth to pull into their relationship, Qin Zhiheng has been regarded by Xi Zhiyu as the best partner.
Xi Zhiyu took Qin Zhiheng back to the room, took out the model airplane he was proud of and shared it with Qin Zhiheng, although he was only three years old, his IQ was not low, they read their favorite storybooks together, chatted about cartoons, and Qin Zhiheng picked up the guitar in the corner and patiently taught his younger brother to recognize strings.
For Qin Zhiheng, the existence of his younger brother is a surprise, he has never heard of his younger brother by Qin Shaojing's side, since he can remember, he has never seen his mother, he tried to ask the people around him, but no one was willing to tell him, or even that no one dared to tell him.
When he saw Xi Lingyan in the company saying that he would not let Qin Shaojing take him away, he guessed that this was his biological mother, and she looked at him with such reluctance and distress, Qin Zhiheng became more and more sure, so he ran out of the company to find her despite the bodyguards around him.
Qin Zhiheng, who never had the concept of a mother in his mind, didn't know how to get along with Xi Lingyan, he only knew that he wanted to take her home, so he pretended to talk to her in Qin Shaojing's tone, and was taken away by Qin Shaojing before he could say a few words.
In fact, Qin Shaojing's heart didn't feel sorry for his son, he hadn't seen his mother, and he didn't know his desire for maternal love, so he fulfilled Xi Lingyan and sent him home. But Qin Zhiheng didn't understand that this father, who was not good at words, was full of grievances and said it all in one go when he met his younger brother.
"Xiao Yu, have you ever thought about your father?" Qin Zhiheng said while playing with the model airplane.
Xiao Yu, who was originally happy, suddenly fell silent when he heard this, he thought for a while, and nodded affirmatively, "I miss my dad very much, but my mother told me that they have lived separately and can't be together anymore." Presumably, this is also the definition of divorce that Xi Lingyan explained to Xiao Yu like this.
"Dad never told me about him and Mom, and the people around me didn't tell me, maybe something bad happened between them." Qin Zhiheng's voice became quieter and quieter when he said this, maybe in the child's world, they could be reconciled after a few days of quarreling, but how could it be so easy between them.
"Brother, will you often come to play with me in the future, there are no children here to play with me." Xi Zhiyu said aggrievedly,
In fact, needless to say, Qin Zhiheng will definitely come in the future, in addition to accompanying his younger brother, he wants to feel his mother's existence.
"Okay, I promise you." Qin Zhiheng nodded affirmatively.
At this time, the breeze outside the window is gusting, and the leaves of early autumn fall with the wind, sweeping the ground, leaving nothing but dust, but also taking nothing away. Use your last strength to dance the wonders of life and sing the swan song of life. Only a few leaves were left hanging on the bare branches, and it was bleak outside, but the two children in the house were a warm picture.
Outside.
Qin Shaojing sat on the sofa flipping through some official documents, in fact, he didn't have that much work, and even if he had, he didn't have to do it here, but he didn't know what else he could do besides reading official documents.
The children were playing in the house, Xi Lingyan was busy in the kitchen, how to open her mouth if she took the initiative to talk, what to say, if it was not a good idea to break up unhappily in the end, it was better not to do anything.
Like him, Xi Lingyan was also entangled in Xi Lingyan, cooking in the kitchen, usually only needed to do more than an hour, but he did it for half an afternoon.
The dishes were washed over and over again, the more the vegetables were chopped, the more meticulously they were cut, and for a moment in a trance, she felt that what happened between the two of them was just a dream, and nothing happened when she woke up.
The four of them are the same as now, the children are frolicking, and the loved ones come back from work and sit on the sofa, raising their own husbands and children, but this simple expectation is so easy to achieve.
Unconsciously, the sky gradually darkened, and time passed minute by minute, and these two people held back their strength and neither of them spoke to anyone.
Qin Shaojing looked at the figure in the kitchen from time to time, and after looking at it for a while, his eyes turned back to the documents, he suddenly enjoyed this moment, putting aside all the things that had happened before, after many years, he was still easily attracted to her.
I can't stay any longer, the time is almost up, Qin Shaojing knocked on the door, and looked at the brothers who were having a good time at the door, and suddenly couldn't bear to disturb.
"It's getting dark, Xiao Yu, it's time for me to go." Qin Zhiheng looked at the door, knowing that he couldn't live here, and reluctantly said to his younger brother that although Xiao Yu was young, even if he didn't want Qin Zhiheng to go, he didn't cry or make trouble and just watched with his eyes.
The two walked out of the door hand in hand, and it happened that Xi Lingyan came out with food, Xi Lingyan looked at them who were leaving, and hurriedly put down the things in their hands, "Don't you stay to eat?" ”
"No, the aunt at home is done." Qin Shaojing replied expressionlessly while putting on his coat.
Xi Lingyan didn't say anything more after hearing this, bent down and hugged Qin Zhiheng, very reluctant, Qin Zhiheng looked reluctant, and whispered in Xi Lingyan's ear, "Mom, I will come back." ”
Mom...... Xi Lingyan thought about this sentence for a long time, and her mother almost couldn't hold back her tears, Qin Zhiheng hooked her mother, hugged her younger brother for a long time, and reluctantly followed Qin Shaojing away.
Qin Shaojing looked at Xi Lingyan's mother and son, didn't say a word, turned around and left, as indifferent as at the beginning.
After going out, Qin Shaojing asked his son, "What did you just say to her?" ”
Qin Zhiheng smiled, "It's nothing, Dad, I still want to come here in the future." ”
Qin Shaojing didn't answer. Actually, he wants to come here often.
