Chapter 125: It's Man-Made
Yi Mengrong picked up the phone again and clicked on the text message he had just received, his expression was a little dignified. It's time to leave the city again, but this time she doesn't know if she'll ever come back. Qin Xinghao asked her to meet, and she didn't know why she was uneasy in her heart. Maybe it's because I can't let go, I'm afraid that after seeing him, I won't be able to leave again.
Yi Mengrong looked at the drawer next to the bed, where the diary that carried her seven-year memories was placed, and she decided to take a look, as if it was goodbye, never to see each other again.
But when she left, what should Xia Xia do, she couldn't leave Xia Xia alone at home, she really didn't feel at ease.
"Hey, Chu Qiu, at three o'clock this afternoon, can you come to my house? I'm going to go out, you help me take care of Xia Xia. Yi Mengrong made a phone call to Chu Qiu and asked her to help take care of the child, and when she went back this time, Chu Qiu would also go back with her.
"Okay, Mr. Yi." Chu Qiu on the other end of the phone replied.
Chu Qiu has been Yi Mengrong's assistant for almost seven years, Yi Mengrong has always treated her as a sister, Chu Qiu is also very dedicated to Yi Mengrong, followed Yi Mengrong from country M back to C. City, and the place where she lives is not far from Yi Mengrong, the two are in a community, Chu Qiu came over to help take care of the children, and Xia Xia can also play with her.
"Xia Xia, mom has something to go out in the afternoon, I'll let Aunt Chuqiu accompany you, okay?" Yi Mengrong walked towards Xia Xia with a smile, touched Xia Xia's head and said.
"Where is Mom going? Can't you bring Xia Xia with you? Xia Xia grabbed the corner of Yi Mengrong's clothes and looked up at her.
Xia Xia just returned home, and she wanted to stay by Yi Mengrong's side all the time, and she didn't want to leave her for a moment.
"Mom has to deal with work, you stay at home obediently, otherwise I won't be able to concentrate on work." Yi Mengrong could see Xia Xia's thoughts, why didn't she want to take Xia Xia with her, but what she wanted to see was no one else, it was Qin Xinghao, Xia Xia's biological father, Xia Xia couldn't follow.
Xia Xia nodded reluctantly, but still listened to Yi Mengrong's words and stayed at home.
It's still very early, Yi Mengrong decided to take Xia Xia out to eat, she has almost forgotten how long she hasn't eaten the small alley she used to go to eat small hot pot, and now she is about to leave, but she misses that taste, Xia Xia has grown so big, he has never tasted the taste of this hometown.
"Xia Xia, will your mother take you to eat a small hot pot?" Yi Mengrong squatted down, put his hand on Xia Xia's shoulder, pinched her little nose and said.
Because Yi Mengrong didn't let Xia Xia go out with him, Xia Xia pouted, her mood was a little low, and when she heard Yi Mengrong say that she was going to take herself out to eat a small hot pot, her eyes lit up, as if she was about to burst out of the stars.
"Okay, okay, eat hot pot, eat hot pot~" Xia Xia suddenly danced with her hands, very happy.
Yi Mengrong cleaned up and called Chu Qiu again, ready to call Chu Qiu to eat together.
"Mom, where are you, why haven't you arrived yet?" Not long after the car drove out, Xia Xia asked impatiently.
Yi Mengrong rarely takes Xia Xia out to eat, she often does it at home, Xia Xia has a bad stomach since she was a child, Yi Mengrong never dared to take her out to eat, because she was afraid that she would have a bad stomach.
"Why did you suddenly want to come out to eat today?" Chu Qiu sat aside and asked with a smile.
"Maybe it's because people are lazy!" Yi Mengrong smiled and said, "The main thing is that I have never taken my child out to eat, and I am about to leave, and I want her to taste the different taste of this city." ”
Xia Xia was so excited in the car that she hummed a song unconsciously, and it was rare to see her so happy.
The car arrived at the mouth of the alley, because the alley was too narrow, Yi Mengrong had to park the car outside.
Although this hot pot restaurant is located in the middle of nowhere, the road is narrow, but there is an endless stream of customers who come to eat, most of the people who come to eat here are couples who are in love, as if everyone likes to hide in a small space and quietly confide their secrets.
Still as usual, Yi Mengrong thought of a position against the wall and sat down, and that position sat for seven years and has not changed.
That position was leaning against the corner of the wall, the light was not bright, it looked a little dark, few people would choose to sit there, but Yi Mengrong would pull Qin Xinghao there every time he came.
"Chu Qiu, can you eat spicy?" Yi Mengrong asked Chu Qiu as he sat down.
"I'll just follow your taste." Chu Qiu and Yi Mengrong have eaten together for seven years, and their tastes almost follow Yi Mengrong's habits.
Yi Mengrong looked at Chu Qiu, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Boss, here's a mandarin duck pot, a medium set meal, and less chili peppers on the plate." Yi Mengrong's tone of ordering is particularly smooth, and he is a frequent customer here at first glance
"Mom, what does the mandarin duck pot mean? Is there a mandarin duck in it? Can you eat mandarin ducks? Xia Xia was full of curiosity, and his eyes blinked as he looked at Yi Mengrong asking these seemingly ridiculous questions, which made Yi Mengrong and Chu Qiu cry and laugh.
"Xia Xia, the mandarin duck pot is red soup on one side and white soup on the other. The red soup is spicy, the white soup is not spicy, and the mandarin duck is an animal, which is used to see, not to eat. Chu Qiu giggled and explained to Xia Xia.
Xia Xia's face suddenly turned crimson, as if she had done something wrong, and nodded shyly with big eyes.
The walls were densely plastered with post-it notes full of wishes, and a neat letter caught her eye.
Yi Mengrong stood up and carefully studied the word, the date on the paper was still very fresh, it was left yesterday, Yi Mengrong tore off the post-it note from the wall, and the corners of his eyes suddenly moistened.
"I found her, but I couldn't keep her, I ate a medium set meal alone, less spicy."
This powerful word, Yi Mengrong didn't know how many years she had been reading it before, how could she not recognize who wrote it, it was Qin Xinghao.
It turns out that he still comes to this restaurant often to eat, and the taste is the same as his own seven years ago.
"Miss Joan? It's been a long time since I've seen you come to the restaurant for dinner! The owner of the shop came over and said to Yi Mengrong, "Mr. Qin, I just came here yesterday." ”
In the past, Yi Mengrong always dragged Qin Xinghao to eat here, and the boss already recognized the two of them.
"yes, long time no see." Yi Mengrong smiled and said to the boss, "I haven't been here for seven years, and it's still the same here." ”
Seven years have passed for so long, it is impossible without change, but many things are deliberately wanted to be preserved.
