Chapter 6: The Time Machine 3
Leaving the bar, Iran took a detour to Anna's shop. Anna is making fondant cakes in the back of the store. Seeing that it was Yi Lan who walked in, although she was received by an assistant, she still put down what she was doing and came to greet her in person.
"Where's your heart?"
"In my house."
"Today I made her favorite Black Forest, and I promised to come and eat it."
"No wonder, I have to bring her back."
"It's also drunk, eating desserts at night, and you don't have to worry about getting fat women, only your heart."
"It's not because the desserts you make are so delicious that the temptation is hard to resist."
"Haha! I'll laugh at your rainbow fart! Let's have another strawberry curtain, our family Mu likes it very much. ”
Iran chose three more pieces of heavy cheesecake for breakfast the next morning. It's so late, Peng Xinxin must be staying at home. She sleeps so lazy, she will definitely not be able to get up tomorrow morning, prepare in advance, have food at home and don't panic, and you can sleep more peacefully tomorrow morning.
After Anna packed the dessert, she filled an extra handmade lollipop and said, "Give it to our family Mu and help me tell him, I miss him." On the way to flirt with his sister, he can turn around and come to see his sister! ”
Yi Lan thought that it was so late, Peng Xinxin must have taken Mu Xin to sleep a long time ago, so the action of opening the door was very light. Unexpectedly, as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Peng Xinxin teaching Mu Xin to recite ancient poems. Peng Xinxin gestured to her, asking her to keep quiet and not disturb Mu Xin.
"The moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time.
The lover complains about the night, and he is lovesick at night.
The candle is full of mercy, and the cloak is dewy.
It's unbearable to give away, and it's a good time to sleep. ”
This poem is about the moon bathing in the sea, slowly climbing up to the sky, and finding that everyone on the earth is looking at her and praising her beauty. Your mom goes out on a date with her lover and complains that it's too late and she misses Mu Mu who stayed at home. But we didn't want her, so we went to bed with the lights off. When I put on your pajamas, I found that your body lotion was fragrant and moisturizing, and it wiped my little arms slippery and fragrant. But you are reluctant to give me the body lotion, so I will not play with you, urging you to go to bed and have a sweet dream. ”
"Peng Xinxin! Don't teach my son badly! Yi Lan was angry and laughed when she heard Peng Xinxin's nonsense explanation of ancient poems.
"Mom!" Mu Xin only found out that Yi Lan was back at this time, cheering, jumping, and jumping into Yi Lan's arms.
"Your son, no matter how much he coaxes, he refuses to sleep, he must wait until you come back." Peng Xinxin took a big bite of the Black Forest with a satisfied expression.
She is different from Yi Lan, she has been smooth sailing since she was a child, and not long after graduating from school, she married her first love Huahua and became a full-time wife. There is no pressure in life, nor has she experienced the setbacks and ups and downs of life, and her heart is still as clean as a child.
For Peng Xinxin, no matter what distress she has, as long as she stuffs a candy or a delicious cake into her mouth, the whole world will be sweet.
When she went out in the morning, Iran was in the mood to flee. Only one day passed, and some late nights, at this time, he was reluctant to put down Mu Xin.
She was about to ask her son what interesting things he had done all day, when she suddenly smelled Mu Xin's face and body, exuding a very familiar aroma.
With doubts, she sniffed it carefully, and after confirming it, the anger in her heart suddenly rushed straight to her head.
"Peng Xinxin! What did you smear my son! ”
"Wow! I'm in a hurry to leave! Peng Xinxin saw that the good things she had done were exposed, and Yi Lan was about to explode, so she took two bites, stuffed all the Black Forest in her hand into her mouth, took her bag, and escaped.
Yi Lan put down Mu Xin and walked into the bathroom quickly. Picked up her heart and mind tangled for more than half a year before she made a ruthless heart, and made an appointment for more than two months to wait, usually cherished so much that she was reluctant to wipe more, Coco recommended her private hand-made cream.
When I opened the lid, I saw that there was still more than half a bottle, but it was actually given to Mu Xin by Peng Xinxin as a body lotion, and it was almost used to the bottom.
She couldn't help but be angry, and was about to go to the living room to get her mobile phone, and scolded Peng Xinxin fiercely, Mu Xin followed, standing by the door and revealing her small body, looking at her nervously.
"Mom, I asked my aunt to wipe this for me, don't be angry with my aunt, okay?"
Of course, Yi Lan knew that this could not be Mu Xin's idea, but seeing that he could take the initiative to take the blame on himself, and he looked like a very responsible little man, the anger and grievances in his heart were instantly soothed by a very soft emotion, and he couldn't bear to see his son blame himself for this matter again.
"Okay, for your sake, mom will forgive my aunt, you obediently go to eat the capsules, and then go to bed and wait for me, and mom will go and tell you stories after taking a bath."
When Yi Lan came out of the shower, she saw Mu Xin standing outside the door waiting for her. Holding a water glass in one hand and a meal replacement capsule in the other, she also deliberately picked her favorite mango flavor.
Mu Xin's thoughtfulness and meticulousness touched Yi Lan. For the rest of his life, with Mu Xin by his side, even if there is no love, life will be happy.
Leaning on the bed and telling Mu Xin a story halfway through, Yi Lan suddenly remembered something and felt the need to explain it to Mu Xin.
"Mu Mu, my aunt was playing with you just now, and that ancient poem is not what she meant."
"I know. Mom, I'm playing a game with my aunt and pretending not to know. My aunt liked that poem so much that she taught me last year, but she forgot about it. ”
"Last year?"
"Last year, my mother took me to my aunt's house to play, and my aunt ......"
"Mu Mu!" Yi Lan's mind "buzzed", as if she was abandoned alone in the boundless dark desert, unable to find her direction, and a sense of panic at a loss surrounded her again. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. "Shall we make a game too?"
After all, it is a child, as soon as he heard about playing the game, Mu Xin's eyes immediately lit up, and he looked forward to it excitedly.
"From now on, pretend that we just met, no, pretend that we are from...... You didn't know your mother until the day you found your mother in the mall, and none of us will talk about it in the future, okay? Whoever mentions it first loses. ”
After listening to Yi Lan finish talking about the rules of the game, the light in Mu Xin's eyes dimmed, and he buried his head in Yi Lan's arms, and he didn't even have the interest to continue listening to the story.
"Why do adults like to play this game, my aunt pretends not to know me, but Aunt Coco pretends not to know me, and my father wants to play this game with me, and doesn't let me talk to my mother about the past, saying that my mother has to remember it for herself to win."
"You can't mention Daddy either."
Either she was made neurotic by Mu Xin's mysterious life experience and those "once upon a time" that made her miserable, or she pretended to be deaf and dumb and lived happily with Mu Xin. Yi Lan chose the latter, she didn't want to explore anything anymore, just keep the little happiness in front of her.
"Mom," Mu Xin put his arm around her neck and whispered into her ear, "If I win, take me to the Botanical Garden for my birthday next week, okay?" ”
"Then it's up to you to perform!" Yi Lan closed the book, put it on the bedside table, patted it on the bedside, turned off the light, and hugged Mu Xin to sleep.
Time flies so fast, more than five months have passed in a blink of an eye. When Mu Xin appeared, she tugged at the corners of Xia's clothes in late spring, wandering, melancholy, and refused to go far.
Now, summer has already followed in the footsteps of the spring girl, and this year's winter came exceptionally early. The cycle of the four seasons, the journey of cold and warm life, how many people can walk all the way without abandoning?
Yi Lan smelled the faint milky fragrance on Mu Xin's body, mixed with the essential oil fragrance in her cream.
Peng Xinxin said not without reason, some things, don't take it too seriously, but it will make you feel much better. After spending a long time together, you will slowly fall in love with the feeling of being a mother.
As long as she can throw away those haze-like mysteries and have Mu Xin to accompany her through this life, she can.
