Chapter 268: Fear of Losing (Part I)
"Daddy," a child's crisp voice broke the silent and tender embrace of Moxie mother and son.
Moxi turned her head abruptly and saw a little girl who looked very much like Cong Xinyue, staring at her with wide eyes, a little excited and a little scared. Moxi let go of Guo Xiaoqin and slowly turned around and looked down at the child.
This is the child who follows Xin Yue, and this is the child who can't care about her for a day. Moxi was a little excited, his hands hanging down his side trembled slightly, and he wanted to reach out to hold the child but he didn't dare, for fear that the child would run away in fear.
Seeing that Moxi had been stunned and didn't know what to do, Xin Yue squatted down and whispered a few words in the child's ear. Then I saw Xiao Xia slowly walk to Moxie's feet, hugged one of Moxi's legs, and shouted Dad again with his neck tilted.
Mo Xi was even more nervous, and he could only turn his head to Guo Xiaoqin for help. But Guo Xiaoqin stared at herself with a tearful smile and a grin, and only moved her chin, "Hurry up and hug it,"
Mo Xi turned his head back and stared at Mo Xiaoxia, who had been holding him, and was stunned for a long time before he slowly bent down and reached out to pick up the child. At the moment when he lifted it into his arms, Moxie put a little force on his arms and hugged the child's soft and small body closer to him, and the tears that were easy to stop fell again.
"Xiao Xia, Xiao Xia, do you still recognize Dad?" Moxie hugged the child tightly, and his excitement was beyond words.
"Daddy," Natsu whispered softly in Moxie's ear again, and then stretched out her soft little arms around Moxie's neck.
Moxi only feels that he is now the happiest person in the world, with his mother and Xiaoxia. Moxi opened her teary eyes and saw that Cong Xinyue was standing two steps away staring at him. Moxi knew that this woman had been doing this for herself silently, and if it weren't for this woman, she wouldn't have been able to get so much happiness.
"Yueyue," Moxi approached Cong Xinyue, holding the child with one hand, and holding Cong Xinyue with the other, hugging her tightly, and whispering in her ear, "Thank you, thank you for everything you have done for me, I will remember it in this life, and I can't repay it,"
"Moxi, as long as you're good, everything I do is worth it," Xin Yue also reached out and hugged Moxie's waist and leaned on Moxi's chest.
The warmth of this moment was destroyed by the noise that Xin Yue heard from the breathing in Moxie's chest. She frowned and looked up, seeing that Moxie looked like she was about to cough but was holding back.
"Take Xiao Xia away," Mo Xi reached out to cover his mouth, and after holding back his cough and handing Xiao Xia to Cong Xinyue, he avoided a long distance from them, hunched over and coughed.
"Kid, what's wrong with you?" Guo Xiaoqin also saw this situation, and immediately frowned and ran to Moxi's side and patted Moxi's back.
"It's okay, I've had a little cold lately, and my throat is always itchy," Moxi coughed before he spoke.
When he turned around, he saw Cong Xinyue also frowning and staring at him, but Mo Xi shook his head invisibly at Cong Xinyue. He didn't want his newfound mom to worry about him.
"I have Chuanbei loquat ointment to suppress cough very well, you can eat a little after lunch in a while," Guo Xiaoqin heard Mo Xi say that he was a little relieved that he just had a cold.
Soon, Guo Xiaoqin set up a table for lunch. This is the first time she has been so happy in so many years, because her son is back, plus Xiao Xia and Cong Xinyue, it can be regarded as a family gathered.
"Auntie," Xin Yue felt happy and happy, and some things still had to be explained to Guo Xiaoqin, "Mo Xi said to the public that he was dead because he had a special task, you must not say that you leaked your mouth, and his plastic surgery is also for this matter,"
"I know, I won't say anything," Guo Xiaoqin knew that her son must have some reason why he would never come home.
"In the future, if we have time, we will come to see you again," Cong Xinyue continued. When he turned his head, he saw Moxi staring at Guo Xiaoqin and was a little funny, so he poked Moxi with his elbow, "What are you looking at?" It's all out of control, stupid or not,"
"Huh?" Moxie came to his senses, "No, I haven't seen it for a long time, I want to take a few more looks, and keep it in my heart,"
"Silly boy, if the task is not urgent in the future, come back and sit down, and my mother will cook you something delicious," Guo Xiaoqin smiled happily when she saw Mo Xi lowering her head and looking embarrassed.
Moxie ate with his head down, and he couldn't eat it without a few bites. He himself felt that his appetite had obviously deteriorated since he started trying the medicine, but in order not to worry his mother, Moxi still pretended to eat without a bite from the bowl. He thought that no one would find out about his act of pretending to eat, but he didn't expect to be discovered.
"Moxie, why do you eat so little?" Guo Xiaoqin saw that Mo Xi barely ate much, and frowned and asked, "Is the cooked food not to your liking?" ”
"No, I really can't eat more," Moxie smiled awkwardly.
"This mission makes him have to stay thin, so he has to control his diet and can't eat too much," Cong Xinyue was also helping on the side, but in his heart he was thinking that he would have to ask when he went home for a while.
"Oh, that's the case, it's really hard for you, when the task is over, come to your mother, your mother will definitely cook a lot of delicious food for you to eat and make you fat," Guo Xiaoqin also felt sorry for this child, he hadn't seen him for so long, and he looked sick and weak when he met.
"Okay, when my mission is over, I will definitely come back, and I will never leave when the time comes, and I won't leave even if my mother drives me away, so I will live with you and Xiao Xia, and honor you well," Mo Xi smiled at Guo Xiaoqin.
But Cong Xinyue, who was on the side, felt that there was a trace of sadness hidden in this smile, could it be that she was thinking too much?
After lunch, I originally wanted to let Moxi play with Xiao Xia for a while, but Mo Xi was afraid that his cold would infect Xiao Xia, so he refused, so he could only watch Cong Xinyue play with Xiao Xia from the sidelines. Gradually, drowsiness hit, and the people and voices in front of him became blurred.
"Moxie?" From Xin Yue and Xiao Xia playing, when they turned their heads, they saw that Moxi had fallen asleep on the sofa. Cong Xinyue frowned, but didn't say anything, just asked Aunt Guo to take a blanket from the room and cover him.
"Looking at him like this, didn't he sleep at night?" Guo Xiaoqin looked distressed at Mo Xi who could fall asleep sitting on the sofa.
"I guess yes, they sometimes don't have to sleep for several nights when they are on mission," Xin Yue said from her mouth, but she knew in her heart that this was not the case at all.
