An English song "Casablanca" sounded in my ears, and Jingjing and I sat in the small seats of the coffee house, staring at each other silently. There were two cups of coffee on the table, and the mist was still slowly rising.

After a long time, Jingjing stretched out her hand, picked up a small spoon and gently stirred the coffee, and finally asked, "When, drink your and Xiao Shu's happy wine?" ”

I smiled and said, "I'm afraid it will take a while, Xu Shu's father died less than half a year ago, and it is not suitable to get married now." ”

Jingjing whispered, "Really? ”

I reached out, took her other hand, looked at her, and whispered, "You must be under a lot of pressure during this time, right?" Are there a lot of journalists who are bothering you? I'm sorry for wronging you. ”

Jingjing smiled faintly and said, "Since the day I divorced you, I have been mentally prepared for this. Besides, the pressure on you and Xiao Shu will only be greater than mine. What do you think? Is it better now? ”

I exhaled and said, "It's finally over, and being a newsmaker is also a difficult thing." But no one is interested in me anymore, life, that's it! ”

Jingjing picked up the coffee cup and took a sip of it, put it down, and said, "How is Xiao Shu now?" Is the grief of losing a father much better? ”

I said, "Well, it's much better, at least on the surface she can already talk and laugh with others." But...... Sometimes, she still holds a photo of her father, and she is stunned. After all, he is the biological father who has raised her for many years, how can he forget it? ”

Jingjing sighed lightly and nodded: "Xiao Shu is too emotional. When I was in high school, a classmate in the class died of leukemia, and she would be sad for a long time. This time it's her beloved father, and I can understand that she's like this! ”

I also sighed lightly and said, "I hope her pain can pass sooner." ”

Jingjing was silent for a while, then changed the subject and said, "Xiaoqing will return to the United States next month, and maybe never come back." She loves you so much, don't you really think about keeping her? ”

I was stunned for a moment and said, "Jingjing, everyone has their own ambitions, Xiaoqing, I can't give her what she wants, if I force her to stay, she won't be happy." She is a good girl and deserves the happiness that truly belongs to her. If she's leaving, let her go! ”

Jingjing smiled and said, "In vain, you have been rolling in the flowers for many years, why don't you understand a woman's heart until now?" I dare say that if you keep her, she will be willing. ”

I looked at Jingjing, my heart swelled with tenderness, I clenched her hand, and said, "Jingjing, for so many years, I am most sorry for you." I should have only been devoted to you, but ...... I've hurt you again and again. What saddens me the most is that you have changed so much for me. Jingjing, your tolerance makes me feel ashamed. ”

Jingjing smiled and said, "I'm not tolerant, I'm just conniving." Since I divorced you, my little eye has magnified a lot. I know that because of my love and jealousy, you hide everything from me, for fear that I will be angry if I know. In fact...... I'm so angry, why don't you believe me? If you have a woman who likes you, it means that my man is excellent. I know that although I want to play a little surname, I am still very happy. But you always treat me like an outsider, I don't like it! ”

I was embarrassed for a while, and said ashamedly: "Jingjing, it's my fault, I won't hide anything from you in the future." Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you. ”

Jingjing smiled: "Okay, I don't need you to confess, I already knew!" ”

I was stunned and said, "You know everything?" Did Fan Yunting tell you? ”

Jingjing smiled and said, "She won't, if it's not good for you, she won't dare to do it if you lend her a hundred guts." I discovered it myself, and once I went home to look through the materials and accidentally found four books of Mr. Chen's book. Hehe, you're still hiding so secretly, if you don't see it by accident, you may not be able to find it if you really look for it! ”

I immediately blushed and whispered, "That...... Did you read it? ”

Jingjing nodded, took another sip of coffee, and sighed: "Why did you meet all the infatuated women in this world?" A long time ago, my grandmother warned me that you were a peach blossom and asked me to watch you more strictly. I didn't believe it at the time, but now that I think about it, what my grandmother said was really good. first came out of Xiao Shu, then Fan Yunting and Xiao Qing, and finally even Teacher Chen was not spared. By the way, I almost forgot that there is also a vice president of Qian Xiaolei Qian. Hehe, what a peach blossom life! ”

I felt guilty in my heart and said sincerely, "Jingjing, I'm sorry! ”

Jingjing waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I'm used to it." It's your life, and you can't stop it if you want to. You better think more about how to explain to your future wife! Xiao Shu is a person, although he has a lot of energy, he is also more broad-minded than me. But she's about to become your wife, and her mind will definitely change. With so many women liking you, she won't be happy, right? ”

I smiled, and was about to say that Xu Shu actually knew everything. At this moment, Jingjing's mobile phone rang. She smiled at me apologetically, then answered, "Hello? Oh, Mom...... Got it, got it...... Well, I met a friend who was delayed for a while, and I will be back right away...... Well, goodbye! ”

Putting down the phone, Jingjing smiled at me and said, "You see, now my mother is very strict with me, for fear that I will be deceived by a man like you again." Okay, then I'll go first, and I'll get in touch when I'm free! As she spoke, she picked up her bag and stood up. I felt uneasy, so I also stood up and walked over to gently hug her into my arms, and whispered: "Jingjing, I will compensate you tenfold in the future for the grievances you suffer now." I'm sorry, I'm such a bad man, I really don't deserve you to be so nice to me! ”

Jingjing smiled and said, "Men are not bad, women are not loved, I have a deep understanding of this sentence." Tang Qian, there are so many women, are you tired enough to deal with it? Take it easy? ”

I was speechless! When I sent Jingjing to the car, I said, "Jingjing, let's find a time to sit down with Xu Shu and talk?" There are a lot of things I want to make clear. ”

Jingjing smiled while fastening her seat belt: "You want me to help you persuade her?" Hehe, the task is so arduous! But I'll do my best, goodbye! With that, she started the engine, shook her hand and drove away.

I looked at the Ferrari in the distance and muttered in my heart: "Jingjing, thank you for your tolerance, I love you!" ”

Back at Xu Shu's villa, I told Xu Shu about meeting Jingjing. Xu Shu smiled: "I really want to be more and more impressed with Jingjing, Tang Qian, you are so blessed, the two wives are so reasonable." Your life seems to be unstoppable. Hurry up, take down all the women who are interesting to you, and I can show off the majesty of the lord of my harem. Otherwise, such a big house is so deserted, and I have nothing to do! ”

I had to smile bitterly and say, "Please, can you have a vinegar for me?" Otherwise, I'm going to lose faith! ”

Xu Shu laughed and said, "In this world, the woman who can make me nervous and jealous may not be born yet!" Even if there were, I would have dealt with her like I had with Teacher Chen. Before you fell in love with her, I forced her to be your woman. Once you get her, there will be no sense of gain and loss, and there will be no unforgettable love. Hehe, my trick is enough, right? ”

I rolled my eyes and was speechless. But she and I both knew in our hearts that it was really impossible for someone who could make us nervous and jealous of each other to appear!

At night, Xu Shu and I slept in separate rooms. She and I haven't had sex once since her father died. I knew she wasn't in the mood, so I didn't bring it up to sleep with her.

I lay in bed reading a book and saw that in the middle of the night, I suddenly felt a little hungry, remembered some supper I had just bought, and went downstairs to the kitchen to prepare something hot to eat.

As soon as I walked into the kitchen, I saw a black figure sneaking inside, looking for something. I was taken aback and hurriedly shouted, "Who?" ”

As he spoke, he immediately turned on the electric light, and when he saw the vegetable shelf, he panicked, and stood awkwardly Xu Shu's mother, Feng Xiaocui. I said strangely, "Auntie, why didn't you turn on the light when you came in?" ”

Feng Xiaocui's face was swollen red, and her hands were quickly put behind her back. Then he smiled and said, "Little ...... Don Jr., is that you? Scare...... Surprise me! ”

I walked over and opened the fridge to get my instant food, and said, "Auntie, are you hungry too?" I just want something hot to eat, would you like to have some? ”

Feng Xiaocui moved towards me while putting her hands behind her back, and said with a smile: "No...... No more! I...... I'm suddenly not hungry, haha! With that, she faced me and walked backwards out of the kitchen. I looked at her like that, obviously not wanting me to see what she was holding behind her back. I couldn't help but wonder that this was her daughter's home, and she could take anything in the open. But why is it that in the middle of the night, the black light is stealing in the kitchen?

Seeing that she had quickly left, I couldn't help but glance curiously at the vegetable shelf. All the vegetables on the shelves were neatly arranged by the chef, and the only thing that was a little messy was the basket for the carrots.

Carrot? I reached out and picked one up, thinking of Feng Xiaocui's sneaky behavior and panicked expression just now, I suddenly understood what she was going to do. For a moment, I felt a little sad in my heart. Since Xu Dahai told me that his wife had also taken the divine water of Yandang Mountain, I have completely understood my mother-in-law's wind scratching Yindang. This need of hers is involuntary and uncontrollable. For more than ten years, it has been difficult for her to endure it. Although they have a lover, Xu Dahai said that they only have a private meeting once every three or four months on average. It's not easy to do that!

I had the intention to help my mother-in-law find a man, but unfortunately Xu Dahai told me to watch her before she died, and I couldn't let her do anything sorry for the Xu family. And if her daughter finds out, she must not be able to accept it. Alas! But a normal woman, strengthened by divine water, how can it be so easy to bear?

I looked at the carrot and my heart soured. If the effect of the divine water is true, Feng Xiaocui can at least maintain his youth for a few decades. Decades! How do you tell her to get by?

I thought about it for a long time, and decided to find a time to talk to Xu Shu and let Feng Xiaocui get married. Although I am a little sorry for Xu Dahai, it also makes Xu Shu embarrassed for them to be children. But you can make your mother miserable for the rest of her life, and she can't bear it, right?

The next afternoon, I drove down the mountain, found a store with a surname, and spent money on a "toy". At night, after Xu Shu went to sleep, I knocked on my mother-in-law's door with a packed toy box.

The door opened, Feng Xiaocui poked her head out in her pajamas, saw me and said strangely: "Xiao Tang, it's so late, what's the matter?" ”

I said, "Auntie, I want to talk to you, can you come in?" ”

Feng Xiaocui got out of the way and said, "Come in!" ”

After I walked in, I smiled and handed her the gift box, and said, "Auntie, this is a gift from you, please accept it with a smile." ”

Feng Xiaocui was strange and puzzled, and after taking it, she asked me with a smile: "What is today?" Why did you give me a gift? Wrapped so beautifully, what is it? With that, she went to unwrap the gift wrapper.

I hurriedly stretched out my hand to stop her, and said, "Auntie, don't open it yet, just wait for me to say a few words!" ”

Feng Xiaocui glanced at me and said, "God is secret, what do you want to do?" ”

I smiled and said, "Sit down, let's talk slowly." ”

Feng Xiaocui sat on the bed and put the gift aside. I moved a stool and sat down in front of her. After a deep sigh, I said, "Auntie, it's been almost four months since my uncle died. I know you've been sad, but I've been so busy comforting your daughter that I've not come to persuade you properly. As your son-in-law, I really shouldn't, please forgive me! ”

Feng Xiaocui sighed and said, "Forget it, it's been so long, I'm not sad anymore." Don't you think it's too late for you to comfort me? ”

I said, "It's better late than never!" Auntie, you said that there are no secrets between us. I think it's time for you to know something. ”

Feng Xiaocui snorted and said, "Is there anything else I don't know?" ”

I nodded and said, "Yes, I won't tell you, it's not you who really knows everything, but my uncle." Before he died, he told me everything. ”

Feng Xiaocui looked at me, blinked her eyes, and said, "What do you mean?" ”

I said seriously: "Uncle knows that I want your two daughters, and my ex-wife will not give up." That's why he started disagreeing with my marriage to your daughter. ”

Feng Xiaocui said in surprise: "Really? Then he finally agreed to the marriage between you and Xiao Shu, didn't he push his daughter into the fire pit? Damn old man! ”

I sweated a sweat and smiled bitterly: "Isn't it? What is a fire pit? Don't you agree? ”

Feng Xiaocui sneered and said, "Why do I agree, it's not that you don't know." My life is in your hands, do I dare to object? ”

I also sighed and said, "Actually, our little lives are in my uncle's hands." Nothing we can do can escape his eyes. It's just that...... Uncle is a great husband and father, and it is his tolerance and understanding that has made us and your daughter perfect. ”

Feng Xiaocui's face turned white, and she said in a trembling voice: "What did you say?" You mean...... What does my old man know about us? ”

I nodded, and immediately retold the content of the conversation between Xu Dahai and me alone that day.

Feng Xiaocui listened to it, and unconsciously burst into tears, and finally cried: "This dead old man, he is dead, and he wants me to fall in love with him at the last moment." What do I do now? Don, tell me, what are you doing? You made me feel so guilty about him, how could I forget him in the future? ”

I sighed, "Uncle has made such a great sacrifice for you, and it is unfair to him not to let you know him!" However, now that he is dead, we miss him, but life must go on. Aunt, before his death, my uncle asked me to take good care of you, and he hoped that you would be happy in the future. I think it's also his wish for you to find the man you like and live a real married life? ”

Feng Xiaocui cried for a long time before she shook her head and said, "I owe the old man so much, how can I have the face to marry again?" Forget it, I'm used to this kind of talk anyway. When you and Xiao Shu have a child, I will help you carry it every day. When the child grows up, I'm almost going to die. When the time comes, I will go underground and become a ghost husband and wife with the dead old man! ”

I smiled and said, "Didn't I just say that?" Uncle gave you that divine water, and you may not be able to live for hundreds of years. For such a long time, how can you spend it alone?

Feng Xiaocui was stunned, and seemed to have just thought of this question. After thinking for a while, he said, "Am I always the same appearance and will not change?" ”

I laughed and said, "I don't know, I think it can last at least twenty or thirty years?" Think about it, when you are eighty years old, you are still so young and beautiful, it is a pity not to marry. And ......"

I hesitated, trying to tell her about the side effects of the divine water that I hadn't just mentioned. Suddenly, Feng Xiaocui's eyes lit up, and she said happily: "Xiao Tang, haven't you also drunk divine water?" Isn't that the same as me, to live for hundreds of years? If...... If a hundred years later, your ...... Your women are ...... That's it, that's ...... Then ask for the surname and ...... me ...... me too."

The more she spoke, the softer she became, and by the end she was barely audible. But from her shy face, I immediately understood what she meant. Immediately, I had to cry and laugh: "Please, you are my mother-in-law!" Besides, Xiao Xin has also drunk divine water, she will only live longer than you. How could I ......"

At this point, I paused. Because I thought of a serious problem, that is, I can live to be a hundred years old, and Xu Shu can't. So what is the meaning of living for me for a long time to come?

Originally, things were simple, Xu Shu died, and I committed suicide to accompany her. But Xiao Xin can live for a long time like me, how can I leave Xiao Xin alone in this world?
