Chapter 488: I Do
Qing'er, Cao Qingqing.
She saw Lin Xie squatting, shouting Zhao Nianci's name, and was really talking to "her", although it was just a simple reply of "um", the change of tone and the fluctuation of feelings were also precious.
Every time Cao Qingqing saw Lin Xie talking to his obsession, he imagined countless times what the obsession he was talking looked like.
But at this time, she couldn't imagine that the blood in her mind seemed to be stagnant, and she just acted instinctively, she walked away, spontaneously left, and waited in a position where she could see Lin Xie leaving.
Lin Xie's emotions began to rise and fall for the first time since he saw him, from crying, to crying, to sad pounding on the ground, when the birds flew to the nest in the sky, his tears and choked slowly quieted down, and the sound of birds chirping and wind blowing nature became softer and softer, and in that position, there was a gentle tone of comfort, and they knew how to make each other rely on themselves and stay calm.
Night is approaching, and the setting sun is reclining on a low hill behind the treetops.
Lin Xie's eyes were red and swollen, but they were extraordinarily humane.
He stood up, then stretched out his arm, Zhao Nianci held him, the two looked at each other, saw the firm trust in each other's eyes, walked past the tree, and walked out of the small forest that no one has.
Lin Xie walked very slowly, making the time longer, he wanted to take three steps and two steps back, but he still arrived home before sunset.
Where he grew up, the white cloth that was used to cover the dust was lifted one by one.
Finding raw cereal from the kitchen, when Zhao Nianci asked him to boil it on a warm fire, he grabbed Lin Xie's ears and took him to the bathroom.
Lin Xie was a little caught off guard, but he was still at his mercy, and his long gray hair, which had not been built for three months, was cut off, leaving only a refreshing two or three centimeters.
I don't know where to find an old razor, Zhao Nianci used it to clean up the slag on Lin Xie's mouth.
Lin Xie squeezed her wrist, which was as warm as the air, hoping to sink into her arms again.
But Zhao Nianci pursed his lips and made a cute grimace, just like any frolicking in the past, not letting him succeed.
When they came out of the bathroom, the two sat down at the dining table.
Zhao Nianci was pinching the scarf and frowning, while Lin Xie was drinking the Nianci brand cereal that was just so sweet that he couldn't get tired of drinking it.
"Hmm...... It's not pretty, this ball of yarn...... Why can't you do anything....." she complained about her craft
"The cereal is delicious, and the porridge is good." Lin Xie reassured, just because he was comfortable at the moment, he saved the last sweet bite.
When he came out of the house, Lin Xie was wearing a coat that was thicker than when he entered the door, and it was a little bloated inside, probably because Zhao Nianci admonished him to keep warm.
Closing the door, he had to face what he had to face.
And there is no room for retreat, the possibility of repentance.
Zhao Nianci took Lin Xie's arm and walked on the country road,
Lin Xie told him about the funny things he had when he was a kid and played with his friends.
"Wife, when I was young, my friends and I would put the cannon into the cow dung, and then watch him explode with a bang, and the houses around us were full of cow dung, and we were chased and spanked by the old people in the village....."
As he walked along a path, Lin Xie pointed to a lump and said.
"I hate it, it's so vulgar......" Zhao Nianci covered his nose and quickened his pace slightly.
When passing by the low mountain trail, Lin Xie said: "There is a waterfall behind this mountain, I would jump into it to play when I was a child, one year the tide fell, the water was all gone, and the fish in it turned their bellies, we caught the fish back and put them in the water bottle to raise ....."
"It's hard for fish to live like this, right?"
"By the way, every summer, there are a lot of crickets, grasshoppers, at that time one hand could catch one, and now it's creepy just to see a dense pile, right?"
"Don't talk about bugs!"
“.......”
Lin Xie himself was slowly flipping through his memories, and he found that Nian Ci was holding his arm and walking on a path that had become unfamiliar recently, and it had the effect of picking up memories in such a way.
Every time he walked through a place with a memory, Lin Xie would completely slow down, and she said it completely, never so hard to tell a long-ago story, and even in some forgotten moments, temporarily use imagination to prevaricate, but also to fill in the two or three meters of time together that was finally squeezed out.
Of all the feelings in this world, the most important and the simplest is to talk.
Zhao Nianci felt the joy, anger and sorrow in Lin Xie's words without any gaps, so he reacted wholeheartedly and replied.
What others saw was that Lin Xie was letting his arms leave his body a little, and then muttered to himself.
Walking to the sanatorium, Lin Xie continued to say, in fact, he flipped through his brain, and any little secrets about childhood had been revealed, but he still reluctantly said not to find the margin......
"Husband......" Nianci stood at the door of the nursing home, holding Lin Xie's hand with both hands.
"I'll ...... a little longer"
"That'...... I'll ...... later" Zhao Nianci was originally standing on the steps, his hands around Lin Xie's neck.
Seeing her think about herself, Lin Xie was even more heartbroken.
He tugged at the flesh on his thigh, letting the pain stimulate his brain.
"It's not ......," Lin Xie pulled out a smile.
Obsessive Nianci blushed: "I hate it...... I've become like this, and you're still bullying me. ”
Lin Xie had a sour nose, tilted his head, and looked at her dotingly.
"Okay, go see my mom....."
This time, Lin Xie walked in front, Zhao Nianci smoothed his arm, looked at his figure, as an obsessive black pupil, extremely gentle, as if to turn the surrounding water into a clear spring......
Lin Xie held back his strength, so that his brain was almost in an empty posture, walked past the front desk, and under the acquiescence of the little nurse, stepped on the second floor, and walked to his mother's room according to his memory.
When he was about to arrive, Zhao Nianci said, "Wait a minute, you monkey is in a hurry." ”
Zhao Nianci paused and patted his chest a little hurriedly.
Lin Xie turned his head, don't look at him walking fast, in fact, his lips are trembling slightly, this time the pace is faster, how much stupid courage is needed.
He said with the last stupidity: "I regret it, right?" ”
"It's not...... People have to fix their hair, and they're already wearing white nightdresses, which is embarrassing enough, so they need to prepare a little."
Zhao Nianci grabbed the long black curly hair with his hand, and carefully separated several crosses.
Lin Xie approached, using his five fingers as a comb, combing her hair again and again.
Speechless.
Nor does it make any sound.
The hallway was silent except for the humming of electrical appliances, like an old man coughing softly on the side.
The nurse approached, looked at Lin Xie in the air, and said, "You've finally come to see your mother." ”
Lin Xie didn't look at her, and was stepped on by Zhao Nianci, who was originally shy and shy, before he walked out of his own artistic conception.
His little feet tightened slightly, and his expression was a little stiff and honest: "Well, come on, yes, come on, is my mother doing well lately?" ”
"It's better, but I haven't woken up yet." The nurse looked at his gray hair and the bright light in his eyes like stars, and suddenly felt that she was surrounded by the whole starry sky, and she was short of breath, with the intention of escaping, she left, and helped open the door.
Lin Xie looked at Zhao Nianci's eyes, just glanced at her slightly, this is the scene.
After a while.
"My hair is almost combed out..... Zhao Nianci raised his head, his pure black eyes blinked.
"Wife, actually, even now, I am acting according to instinct, and after a while, I will see my mother as you wish as an obsession, and then the figure slowly dissipates, I ...... Having said so much and delaying for so long, I can't accept it when I think about it...... But you have to do it, it's like ...... I'll push you into heaven with my own hands......"
"I'm obsessed, in order to marry you, I need to see your mother, and when I die, this matter must be my greatest concern...... If I can change my obsession, I can knit you a scarf and marry you, or give birth to a boy named Eunshu....."
"I'm obsessed, I'm ready." Zhao Nianci stood on tiptoe, wrapped his hands around Lin Xie's ribs, gently kissed him on the cheek, and then his heels stabilized, looking at Lin Xie gently.
Lin Xie felt the strength on his face, and he no longer hesitated.
For Nianci, how important it is to be able to visit his mother and then marry him justifiably.
Lin Xie sighed slightly, he didn't deliberately speed up or slow down, but walked normally and steadily.
Zhao Nianci saw Lin Xie like this, his eyes became more and more gentle, he needed to be strong in this situation, his lover was really not easy.
The door opened slightly, and Lin Xie walked in first in order to give her courage, looking out of the door.
Zhao Nianci was a little nervous, and inadvertently grabbed the corner of her skirt again, her hand was placed in Lin Xie's palm, and she could probably feel his temperature, and walked in.
Lin Xie's mother slept peacefully in the hospital bed, the window was slightly open to let in a little wind, and the white curtains were blown from time to time, as if she was being waved by an elf with a magic wand.
Lin Xie went in, brought a chair from the side, and then motioned for Zhao Nianci to sit down.
Nian Ci looked at the mother-in-law she wanted to see, her eyebrows, her appearance, the undulating height of the bedding when she slept peacefully.
She sat in a chair.
Lin Xie introduced his sleeping mother: "Mom...... I'm bringing my future wife to meet you......"
His insistent heart, with his words, nearly collapsed again.
He assumed that Zhao Nianci, like Timo, did not meet, but meet, in this case, at least until his mother woke up.
But no.
She just wanted to meet her mother-in-law, that's all......
And at the moment of seeing it, the time around him began to stagnate, perhaps because it was the relationship of black obsession, it disappeared extremely slowly, and between a few breaths, it was still indistinguishable from the field of vision that it was fading, but Lin Xie felt it.
When Lin Xie was holding back her crying, Zhao Nianci quietly sat on the bedside of her future mother-in-law, and pinched her little hand on her mother-in-law's thin hand stretched out.
"Auntie..... Hello, let me introduce myself first, my name is Zhao Nianci, from Langfang....." Zhao Nianci bowed her head a little shyly, but her tone was steady and powerful, these days when she came to Wenzhou, she was also thinking hard about what to say after seeing it.
"I'm 31 years old this year, and I have an eight-year-old daughter, who has been in the care of her grandparents since she divorced three years ago....... Lin Xie shouldn't have told you last time he came......
I don't know how to cook, I only boil porridge and cereal that he likes very much, and sometimes I am afraid that he will get tired of eating, so I change the taste......
I have a weird temper and suddenly get angry with the people around me
And your son, Lin Xie, has always been by my side, tolerating me, loving me, not long ago, he proposed to me by the sea, after I agreed, but a little apprehensive, because......
I'm afraid you'll hate me for having so many shortcomings......"
Lin Xie lowered his head, breathed hard because he wanted to hold back his tears, and whispered and affirmed from between his teeth: "Nianci, no. ”
"Let me say to Auntie." Zhao Nianci's clear eyes rolled, looked at Lin Xie, and squeezed Lin Xie's mother's hand trembling a little: "Auntie, I came to see you this time, I just hope that you can agree that you can agree that I will be with Lin Xie."
After a pause, Zhao Nianci at this time, starting from his body, already had a clear and slightly faint feeling.
"Originally, I wanted to ask for your consent to get married...... But, now...... I can only thank you very much for raising Lin Xie and meeting him, it is me, a woman with many shortcomings...... This life...... The happiest thing......
Although he never mentions you, I know that he loves his wife and children so much and loves you more than anyone else
Hopefully, you will recover soon, if ...... If you can, I hope you can persuade him to find a good woman....... Please......"
Lin Xie's mother was lying on the bed steadily, while Lin Xie on the side, the tears she was trying to hold back still slipped silently from the corners of her eyes.
After Zhao Nianci finished what he wanted to say, he squatted on the edge of the bed, his face sensing the flow of his mother-in-law's blood vessels, hoping that his voice could be conveyed.
Lin Xie looked at Zhao Nianci, who was getting shallower and shallower, and took off his heavy coat, which turned out to be an ill-fitting suit......
The sleeves of the suit are relatively short, so that the cuffs of the shirt inside are exposed, but the shoulders are extraordinarily wide, and the style looks like a middle-aged and elderly suit from twenty or thirty years ago.
Before Lin Xie came out of the house, he found this suit from the closet......
He wore this ill-fitting clothes, rubbing his fists in his eyes, so that the tears that had just burst out of his eyes could be stirred back by the pain, and he gasped hard to make the heartache shorter.
Zhao Nianci watched Lin Xie finish this series of actions, she was so moved that she trembled, rubbed her eyes, but found that she couldn't shed tears, she watched the figure slowly disappear, and shouted: "Don't ......"
Lin Xie shook his head, his eyes were slightly red, but he had already forced himself to stop crying.
He smiled at Zhao Nianci with his daily silly big brother smile, and went over to take Zhao Nianci's hand.
The two stood by the window.
Lady in pajamas in white dress.
Men in ill-fitting suits.
The ticking interlude of life-sustaining instruments and the nervous breathing and heartbeat of men......
The screen window was blown by the breeze, quietly playing around the man's pants, but it fell directly into the woman's calf and quietly descended quietly waiting for the next wind to rise.
The man's voice choked, but he tried hard to hold back his tears: "Ms. Zhao Nianci, would you like to accept this man as your legal husband, whether in good times or bad, rich or poor, healthy or sick, happy or sorrowful." ”
The lady nodded vigorously, but suddenly shook her head, but then, looking at the man's resolute expression, and the fading self, she clutched her heart hard, and with all her heart, looked directly into his eyes that made her feel warm, and shouted, "I do!" ”
She felt the time running out, and continued, "Mr. Linche, would you like to accept this lady as your legal wife.......
"I do! I do! I'm willing to ......."
The woman's figure faded to the point that there was only a line left, and the man smiled strongly without thinking, and nodded as if he was constantly trembling.
"Now you can kiss your wife......" the woman smiled, holding the man's hand, wrapped in happiness as if she had promised to marry.
The man closed his eyes, but tears came out of his eyes, when the wind rose, he hugged his wife, his head turned over, close to his lips, slightly bowed, slightly touched soft, and when he wanted to go further, he found that even though he had bent his waist to seventy or eighty degrees, he could no longer kiss his wife......
He knelt on the ground, wanting to hold her, but he could only hug himself, he was wearing an ill-fitting dress, and finally couldn't hold back the tears of a wedding......
There was not a trace of bitterness in the tears.
Tears, too, accompanied her to dissipate in space, are happy......
"Wife...... Thank you for marrying me......" He buried his cheeks in his hands, tears streaming down his fingers.
"Ding ......."
