Chapter Forty-Eight: The Garden

Zhong Yue walked towards his seat with a plate of food in each hand, Tong En had just washed Yu Hao's hands and was wiping the water on his chubby hands.

"Ice cream, Dad, I want ice cream."

"Your ice cream is indispensable, this kid, his eyes light up when he sees ice cream." Zhong Yue shook his head and said to Tong En.

Tong En reached out to get it to him on the plate, saw that there were two cups of Xinji, and asked Yuhao, "Chocolate or strawberry?" ”

"Chocolate."

Tong En raised his eyebrows, smiled and picked up a cup of chocolate Xinji and handed it to Yu Hao. Zhong Yue carefully noticed the expression on Tong En's face, turned around and walked towards the counter again.

"Hey......"

When Tong En called him strangely, Zhong Yue had already returned to his seat with a cup of chocolate in his hand. He put the cup of new land he had just bought in front of Tong En and said, "It's all my fault, I didn't ask you what flavor you like just now." ”

"How do you know I like chocolate?" Tong En asked in surprise.

Zhong Yue looked at her with a smile: "Just look at your expression." ”

Tong En said embarrassedly, "Really? Is my expression so explicit? ”

"I like chocolate too, and Aunt Tong is the same as me." Yuhao gulped down ice cream, his mouth full of chocolate sauce.

Tong En and Zhong Yue smiled at each other, and suddenly they both felt very comfortable in their hearts. After a morning of activities, the inhibition and strangeness between them completely disappeared, and it was natural to become casual and even tacit. Tong En enjoyed a bite of ice cream, remembered the morning game, and said regretfully: "If I hadn't worn high heels today, we would definitely have won the first place." ”

The last activity of the morning was triathlon, I really admired the kindergarten teachers for coming up with this ingenious idea, the first one was "working together", let the child stand on a bent cardboard, grasp the handle in front of him with both hands, and two adults dragged the cardboard left and right to run forward, turn a circle at the apex and then run back. Tong En was originally going to go to work, so he wore a pair of high heels, but he couldn't run fast at all, and ended up at the back.

Zhong Yue looked at her annoyed face and couldn't help but want to laugh.

"The last place is the last place, I am the clown, I am afraid of the last place, the focus is on participation."

Tong En looked up at his face, remembering how he looked like a clown, and couldn't help but want to laugh. Suddenly, I saw several rows of purple bruises on his arms, and blurted out, "What's wrong with your arms?" When did you get bruised? Does it hurt? ”

Zhong Yue looked at the marks on his arm and said lightly: "I didn't pay attention to when I rubbed it, it didn't hurt at all?" ”

Yu Hao heard the adults speak, leaned on Zhong Yue's arm to look at it, and shouted in surprise: "Dad, you must have just been injured, you didn't have it when you carried Aunt Tong, really." ”

Zhong Yue glanced at Tong En and patted his son on the head, "Eat quickly, I'll go to the amusement park in a while." ”

This trick was the best, and Yu Hao immediately sat back in his seat and went to eat his burger.

But Yu Hao's words had already reminded Tong En, and she suddenly remembered that when Yu Hao ran the third obstacle course of the triathlon, she almost fell off the single-plank bridge, and she was so frightened that she grabbed Zhong Yue's arm next to her, and then she was nervous, and she couldn't remember when she let go. Tong En's face turned red, he didn't expect his fingers to be so powerful, and he actually grabbed Zhong Yue's arm with deep purple bruises. She said self-deprecatingly: "I'm sorry Zhong Yue, I don't know how to make such a big effort, I'm really embarrassed." ”

Zhong Yue saw that she had already remembered, so he no longer concealed it, and said with a smile while eating: "I still wanted to come, this Tong En's body is as light as a bird, why is his hand strength so big, have you practiced the Mighty Vajra Palm?" ”

Tong En was holding a mouthful of Coke in her mouth, and when she heard this, she almost sprayed it on Zhong Yue's face, and she swallowed it hard, choking her desperately and coughing desperately. Zhong Yue hurriedly threw down the hamburger, grabbed a tissue and handed it to her, and asked nervously, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" You okay? Yu Hao was also so frightened that he threw down the food and ran over.

Tong En finally panted out, shook his head and said, "It's okay." Patting Yu Hao's head and asking him to go back to dinner, he sat up straight and looked at Zhong Yue with some surprise.

Zhong Yue saw that she was really fine, and sat back in his seat with confidence, seeing that Tong En had been looking at him, he asked strangely, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

Tong En thought for a while and said, "Zhong Yue, this is the first time I've seen you like this, how can I say it?" So relaxed, I have always felt that you are a particularly strict person, although not all the time is serious, but I have never seen you so like an ordinary person. ”

"Ordinary people? The term is a bit new, am I not an ordinary person in your eyes? ”

"Of course not, how can the thirty-four-year-old CEO of the group company be an ordinary person?"

Zhong Yue looked at Tong En, thought about it seriously, and said, "Maybe, maybe I am just a strict company CEO in the eyes of most people, and maybe I myself have long been accustomed to that kind of rigid and serious life." I don't know what to say, but I'm very happy today, and I have a sense of relief that I have never felt before, really, not only Yuhao is happy, but I am also happy. Thank you! Tong En. ”

"Why thank me? It's been a long time since I've been truly happy like I am today. I think we should all be grateful to Yuhao for bringing us back to our carefree childhood. As he spoke, Tong En rubbed Yu Hao's black hair.

A warm feeling lingered between them, even Xiao Yuhao felt it, he looked at Tong En happily, and then looked at Zhong Yue, and his young heart was extremely satisfied.

"Dad, Aunt Tong."

In the amusement park, Yu Hao sat on the merry-go-round and shouted loudly, waving vigorously at Zhong Yue and Tong En who were standing on the side, and they also waved at Yu Hao and smiled at each other.

Zhong Yue said with emotion: "I really haven't seen Yuhao so happy as today, I'm really ashamed to be a father." ”

Tong En didn't speak, and suddenly remembered Zhong Yue's ex-wife, she looked at Xiao Yuhao, who was sitting on the merry-go-round, and imagined what kind of person the woman who could bear to leave such a cute son would be.

"Tong En, have you ever been to an amusement park before?"

"Huh? Oh, here it is. But when I was a child, I don't think I have been to an amusement park since middle school. What about you? ”

"Me? I don't remember anything when I was too young, but I think I've been here twice since I remember. Yuhao grew so big, it was Sister Chen and the driver who brought him to play, and it was the first time I accompanied him to the amusement park. Zhong Yue looked at his son with great guilt.

"Really? Then it's time for you to review and review. There was some reproach in Tong En's tone.

"yes, it's time for a review." Zhong Yue said from the bottom of his heart.

Tong En turned his head to look at his face full of self-blame, and said a little unbearably: "Don't blame yourself too much, you have so many things to do, how can you do everything." ”

Zhong Yue smiled at her gratefully, shook his head and said, "Being busy is not a reason, to be honest, Tong En, sometimes I think, what am I busy with every day?" Why busy? If you can't even take care of your own son, what's the point of being busy? ”

"I haven't really thought about it. Maybe in the consciousness of you men, career is the first, and only career success can reflect a man's self-worth. You don't have three heads and six arms, you are busy with your career and family, don't stretch yourself too tightly, if the Buddha still has time to rest. Feeling that the topic was a little heavy, Tong En pretended to be relaxed.

"I know you can't do it all. Whether it is the chairman or the general manager, it is just a halo on the head. In fact, I am just an ordinary person, two hands, two legs, two shoulders and a head, an unqualified ordinary father. "I don't know why, Zhong Yue always involuntarily reveals his inner thoughts in front of Tong En.

Tong En was silent, this topic always reminded her of the woman who made her curious, Yuhao's biological mother.

"Daddy."

Uho jumped off the merry-go-round and ran towards them. Zhong Yue picked up his son and asked, "Son, what else do you want to play?" ”

"That." Yu Hao's chubby hand pointed forward.

"Pirate ship?" Zhong Yue and Tong En shouted in unison.

"He's too young, and he can't seem to play this according to the regulations, I'm afraid people won't let him go." Tong En said with some concern.

"I want to play, but Aunt Chen doesn't dare to play, she never takes me there, Dad, you can take me to play." Yu Hao begged.

"Then try it, if people don't let you go, don't cry." Zhong Yue compromised.

"Good. Aunt Tong, you can go with you, okay. Yu Hao pushed Tong En coquettishly.

"Okay." Tong En readily agreed.

"Oh, let's go, take a pirate ship." Yuhao shouted excitedly.

Unexpectedly, they got on the boat smoothly without hindrance, Yu Hao shouted to sit on the side, Zhong Yue had to let him sit on the boat gang, fasten his seat belt, and sit between his son and Tong En. It's been a long time since I've sat on these things, and Tong En is really a little nervous.

The boat started, and Yuhao screamed happily, not nervous at all. At first, Tong En also felt that it was okay, but when the boat rocked back and forth to the highest peak, she began to feel dizzy, her body fluttered and she couldn't sit still, she closed her eyes tightly, she didn't even dare to open a slit, and her heart was thrown into the air with the shaking of the boat, and then she was thrown into the bottom of the valley for a while. The liquid in her stomach churned upwards for a while, and she gritted her teeth and endured it, clutching the handle in front of her with both hands, not wanting to ruin everyone's interest because of herself.

Suddenly, she felt a big hand wrap around her shoulder, and Zhong Yue's voice sounded in her ears, "Lean on me." ”

Without any hesitation, Tong En trustingly let go of his sore hands, and his upper body naturally leaned into Zhong Yue's arms, and his body, which originally felt like he was leaning into a harbor, suddenly felt much more steady.

Zhong Yue grabbed his excited son with one hand, and tightly circled Tong En's body with one arm, looking at her with some anxiety, Tong En's head was tightly pressed against his chest, and his thin body was weakly shrunk in the crook of his arm, and the obvious pain made Zhong Yue feel distressed for a while. He hated his carelessness, and he didn't even notice that Tong En was unwell today, and in retrospect, she actually looked a little bad in the morning, and she ignored it because of Yu Hao's sudden attack.

The boat finally stopped shaking, Zhong Yue let go of Yu Hao's little hand, let him get off the boat first, looked down at Tong En, and asked softly, "How is it, is it better?" ”

Tong En closed his eyes tightly, not daring to answer, for fear that he would spit it out with one mouth. She knew it was time to get off the boat, so she gritted her teeth and stood up.

Zhong Yue stretched out his hand and pressed her and said, "If you are dizzy like this, don't be reckless." As he spoke, he gently picked her up with his hands, and carefully stepped out of the cabin and down the staircase.
