Chapter Ninety-Three: The Lonely Bird of the Falling Sunset
Zhou Qi gradually regained his initial mobility. As before, Ah Shi still comes over to accompany Zhou Qi with breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. Zhou Qi stayed in the hospital for more than a month, and was finally discharged from the hospital and continued to recuperate at home.
At one o'clock in the middle of the night, Lao Mo called, "Congratulations." ”
"Congratulations on what?"
"Tian Xin just gave birth. Gave birth to a big fat boy. ”
"Really?"
"Ask for yourself."
Zhou Qi hung up the phone and dialed Tian Xin's number.
"Tian Xin?"
"Hmm." Over there, Tian Xin was very tired and weak, and his voice was very weak, "It's born." Six pounds and five taels. Boy. ”
"It's a shame that I'm not by your side."
"It's fine. I know you've just been discharged from the hospital as well. ”
"You take a break."
"I haven't decided on a name yet."
"Think slowly, don't rush."
"Hmm."
Tian Xin gave birth, mother and son are safe, thank God.
Sooner or later, I'll have to tell Ah Shi about this, now tell her?
Is it an ex-girlfriend, or is it drunk and promiscuous? Who do you want to ask about this?
Zhou Qi was very excited all night, and didn't sleep for a while until it was almost dawn.
Ah Shi came to cook breakfast, and for the first time saw that Zhou Qi was still sleeping, cooking porridge, frying eggs, and beating soy milk.
Ah Shi woke up Zhou Qi, "Big lazy pig, get up quickly." ”
Zhou Qi woke up, saw Ashi, remembered what happened last night, and hesitated a little, running to the bathroom while brushing his teeth, pondering what to say.
Finally sat down at the table, Ash's face was full of smiles and the room was full of love.
Zhou Qi said, "Ah Shi, there is a very abrupt thing for you. ”
"What's the matter?"
"I told you about Xie Lan before, do you remember?"
"And then?"
"After Xie Lan, before I met you, I had a very brief relationship with another girl who was a partner in business."
"Huh? You haven't said that before. And then what? ”
"I just learned that she had a baby." Zhou Qi said, looking at Ah Shi quietly and seriously, Ah Shi's expression was very complicated, but he didn't see anger.
"Having children? And then asked to get back together with you? ”
"Not really. It's impossible for me to talk to her, and besides, I already have you. Zhou Qi grabbed Ah Shi's hand.
Ah Shi was still very calm, and said, "You followed her, before me, and then I didn't know that she had it, and now she told you that she did?" ”
"It's true that before I met you, I just knew, just gave birth."
Ah Shi's face was flushed, her expression was a little depressed, and she said, "It's all already raw?" ”
Zhou Qi said, "You just told me. I just knew, and I don't want to hide it from you. I won't go back and have any emotional entanglements with her, but the child she gave birth to, in terms of time, should indeed be my child. I can't change that. ”
Ah Shi slowly got angry, didn't speak, wanted to stand up, sat down again, wanted to get rid of Zhou Qi, and stopped again.
Ah Shi said, "This matter is very big, I want to calm down." Your relationship with me, pause for a moment. ”
"Nope. That was before. After I knew you, I decided on you. She's not going to be in my world, she's not going to be in any bonds. ”
"Children are the bond. Are you going to take it back and let me be a stepmother directly? ”
"Nope. The child won't come back, and maybe the name won't be with me. ”
"That's better. If I take it back and raise it, I really can't accept it. Ah Shi slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "It means that the child has been with his mother?" ”
"Yes, I guess it's the same as his mother's last name. I'm just the biological father of my child. ”
"That's right. I'll take it easy. Does this mean that her mother is now looking for you for money? ”
"Well, that's pretty much it."
"Is she married? Are you sure the child is yours? ”
"It's not just a phone call to me in the middle of the night last night, so I don't have time to be sure. However, she did not marry. ”
"Yes. When you get married, you won't be told when you're born. Are you sure she's not looking for you to get back together, she's just asking you for money? ”
"That's for sure. Even if she wanted to, I didn't hesitate to refuse. I will definitely not get back together with her because of the child, and if you give money, I don't think there is any problem. However, I still want to make it clear to you. ”
"Good. You are sure that the child is yours, and you are sure that you will not get back together with her. It's okay to give money, that's fine. You should be able to afford the money to raise a child. Ah Shi's face softened a little, "I'll calculate with you, it's just three or four months." You were thinking about Xie Lan again, why did a child come out in the middle? Tell me more clearly. ”
It's definitely not okay to make up lies again, I can't deceive Ashi, "Actually, I met her, the child's mother, it turned out to be my original salesman, and I left the company, after what happened to Xie Lan, she comforted me and drank a lot of wine with me, and then it happened, to be honest, I have no memory of the process at all, and then I went our separate ways, I rode a bicycle to Xinjiang, almost to Xinjiang, she told me that she had it, and she was going to give birth." Don't let me be responsible. ”
"That's a one-night stand, huh?"
"Actually, it didn't happen overnight, it was pure drunkenness. It's just a drink after I fell out of love. ”
Zhou Qi felt that he was about to convince Ah Shi to accept the existence of this child.
Ash said, "Cut." That's it, huh? However, in the future, the question of whether the child will admit it or not. ”
"I want to ask her what she means. She is not married now, and she has started a small business on her own. ”
"Alright. I will redefine the principles with you, and if you agree and promise to implement them, we will be able to continue. ”
"You say."
"If a child doesn't come into this house, don't call me mom. Second, you should sort out the relationship with the child's mother, and it is best to cut off contact. Third, it is okay to give money, which is limited to the scope of child support, of course, the level can be relatively increased. It's best to do it all at once. Ah Shi said very seriously, "I don't want to participate, and I can't stop your past, but you have to make a cut with the past." What I mean is that you have to have a single relationship with me, and you don't allow that woman to exist, I can tolerate the existence of children, but I don't want to be a stepmother. ”
"No problem. I promise that my love is single-minded, simple, and unadulterated. ”
"Okay, I understand. Once I find out that you are still in private contact with that woman, and even have a rekindling of old feelings, then we might as well break it off. Really, I don't want to be involved in that bloody polyamory relationship. ”
"Because of the children's affairs, there will be some short-term dealings. There will definitely be no revival of old feelings, I said, I talk about feelings, and I am also a single-celled animal, without those fancy intestines, I can't play tricks. You know that I'm such a person. ”
"There are no other romances or one-night stands that haven't been revealed, right?"
"Nope." How simple and simple the answer.
"I went to work first. You've ruined my mood all at once. I'm going to calm down. Ah Shi still walked away with an unhappy face.
Zhou Qi breathed a sigh of relief, if Ah Shi broke up with him directly, he felt that it was normal, and he would spend more effort to convince her. Really like Lao Mo said, Ah Shi is much smarter than they imagined, and she is definitely not a simple rich second generation.
Now her reaction, although she didn't get angry or make a lot of noise, Zhou Qi could fully understand the entanglements and contradictions in her heart.
Since you love, you should love it seriously, and the previous things will be over, and you can't be bound anymore.
It reminded him of Ah Xin. Ah Xin occasionally contacted him, even when he was hospitalized, although he didn't call, he occasionally sent some children's videos, and he was also fooled by understatement, indeed, Ah Xin didn't say anything, just sent a video, and the video was just coaxing the child's words, not talking to Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi called Ah Xin, and it rang for a long time before Ah Xin answered the phone.
Ah Xin's voice was very soft, and she said, "Brother Qi, how are you doing?" ”
Zhou Qi said, "I just came out of the hospital, I was hospitalized for a few months, I was in a car accident, but now I am recovering. ”
"Huh? Is it? It's okay, it's okay. I've been taking care of my kids lately, and I'm going to work, so I'm so busy. Sorry I didn't pay attention to you. ”
"It's fine. I'm not here to say this. Zhou Qi slowed down and said, "I may be getting married after a while." ”
"Really? That's not enough. ”
"How are you doing?"
"Fortunately, I moved out of my parents' house and rented a house near the company. It's a busy job, but it's okay. Although the salary is not high, it can support me and my children. Don't worry. ”
When Zhou Qi heard her say this, he knew that she must be difficult now, but he never told him. It's a kind of pride.
"Isn't that tiring?"
"It's okay, it's fine. Tired is tired, and I am happy in my heart. ”
"I'll put some money into your card, since you're out of the house, you have to take care of yourself." Zhou Qi opened the mobile banking, looked at the balance, transferred 500,000 yuan to Ah Xinkari, and said, "Take good care of yourself, with the children." Tell me something. ”
"No, I don't. No. I can barely get by, and when the children are older, I want to start a small business so that I won't be too tired. Ah Xin hurriedly refused, "I can still handle it, but I'm really tired, I said, tired is tired, but I'm happy." ”
"Okay, tell me what you remember in the future."
"I changed the child's name to Zhou Yinzhi."
Zhou Qi hung up the phone and sighed in his heart.
Zhou Qi's recuperation is recuperation, which does not prevent him from contacting work. In terms of the stadium, there is Brother Wu supervising, and the two operating ladies are still full of enthusiasm. Over there in the experience hall, there will be reconciliation every day, Zhou Qi asked Minzai to recruit two operation ladies to help the promotion and coordination of various intangible cultural heritage projects, these projects have no rental income, only a fixed amount of small operating expenses and profit sharing with them, the two operation ladies also tasted the sweetness, naturally worked hard, and even began to cooperate with tour groups to do chartered or semi-chartered venues.
Business is good on both sides.
In the afternoon, Tian Xin called, which made her much more energetic, and said, "Brother Qi, I heard Lao Mo say, when you are well, you and Miss Lu will be ready to get married?" Is it? ”
"I'm planning."
"Invite me then. You don't have to worry about Miss Lu being unhappy, I'll find a chance to make it clear to her. Tian Xin became more and more resolute, "The child's nickname is Xiao Tuanzi. Daimyo, you can get up, first follow my surname Tian, and when he grows up in the future, he will change it if he wants to. ”
"Shall I get up?"
"Well, of course it's you."
"I'll think about it. That's called following. It is the meaning of observance, and the pronunciation is good. What do you think? ”
"Follow it? Tian Xunzhi? Tian Xin, it's okay, let's call it Tian Xunzhi. Tian Xin quite likes this name.
