Perhaps because something unpleasant happened in the morning, Lin Xiangwan felt uneasy all day long.
Like a prey being targeted by a hunter, her entire back was covered with fur. So when she was working, she had to look back from time to time to make sure that no one was following her, so that she could feel at ease.
Fortunately, due to the economic crisis, Americans no longer like having children, so there are fewer things to do. Otherwise, a medical accident would have to occur.
Because his condition was not right, Lin Xiangwan took an hour's leave and went to pick up Ye Nan in advance.
After a day of reading, Ye Nan looked much happier than when he first arrived in the morning. At least when he saw Lin Xiangwan, he took the initiative to run over and hugged Lin Xiangwan's legs.
The small bodies of children, with their fresh fragrance, are as soft as the clouds in the sky, making people willing to give up everything in exchange for their smiles.
Lin Xiangwan's heart had been hanging for a whole day, and the moment she hugged her son, she finally landed safely. After saying goodbye to the administrator, she held Ye Nan's hand, and the two of them, one large and one small, wandered toward the library.
Go to the museum gate.
"Today, a lady gave birth to a baby weighing 11 pounds. Wow, this baby is so fat. He is much fatter than you were when you were a child. I really don't know what this lady ate when she was pregnant with him. The baby's face looks so...
big."
Using exaggerated tones and gestures, Lin Xiangwan told Ye Nan the interesting things that happened at work. This was a homework she had to do every day. Although she was not sure whether Ye Nan could understand what she said.
She didn't even know if Ye Nan had heard these words, but she wanted to tell him.
She stubbornly thought that he knew everything and understood everything, he just didn't want to tell her.
But today, just when Lin Xiangwan thought she was going to say another clarinet, a very faint child's voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Fat...cute..."
At first, Lin Xiangwan thought it was the sound coming from other children walking next to her, so she didn't pay attention at all. But when she stopped and was about to push open the heavy solid wood door of the library, she suddenly realized that there were other people in the hall besides
She and Ye Nan have no other children at all.
She turned around suddenly, half-knelt beside Ye Nan, gently grabbed his arm, and asked him in a voice hoarse due to nervousness, "Xiao Nan, you were talking to your mother just now, right? You said
What? Can you say it again?"
Ye Nan did not answer. His two small hands were entangled together, and his slender fingers poked holes one after another in the sleeves of the sweater. Lin Xiangwan did not dare to force him, but she had no choice but to give up like this. She was sure that she
She just heard something, but she didn't dare to believe it.
She was too afraid of being disappointed.
If there is one last hope in her life, then this hope is Ye Nan.
He was like a ray of sunshine shining into the deep sea, giving her salvation and hope. He was her relative, a relative created with her flesh and blood, and a relative that only belonged to her.
It had been snowing, and it was extremely cold. The wind carried ice slag and blew in through the cracks in the door. Lin Xiangwan's health had never been good, so she couldn't stand being blown by the cold wind for a long time. But if she couldn't stand it, she couldn't stand it.
About to grit his teeth and endure it, Ye Nan's mind drifted to nowhere and turned a deaf ear to Lin Xiangwan's words. Just when Lin Xiangwan was about to despair, he suddenly spoke softly:
"Fat...cute..."
"Yes... you are fat and cute... Xiao Nan, can mom give you a hug? Don't run away again... mom just wants to hug you..."
Slowly reaching out her hand, she took Ye Nan's small body into her arms. She was holding the most magnificent and dazzling but also the most fragile treasure in the world. She gradually exerted her strength until she was sure that he was really the most fragile treasure in the world.
In his arms, he did not run away or refuse, but was truly embraced by her.
Lin Xiangwan's eyes, which had not been touched by tears for a long time, finally became sour and moist. This moment cannot be described in any words.
It was just a simple hug, but it made her wait for so many years.
The wind and snow were still coming, but Lin Xiangwan didn't feel cold at all, because her heart was warm, and she was not afraid of the heavy wind and snow.
*There was something wrong with the atmosphere in the boxing ring today. Lin Xiangwan felt it as soon as he and Ye Nan entered the boxing ring.
The venue seemed to have been specially tidied up. The pillars and ropes on the boxing ring had been wiped clean. The most eye-catching thing was that there were colorful latte art hanging above the boxing ring.
"Has the boss lost his mind? Or has the presidential campaign team come to us?" Putting Ye Nan on his favorite sofa and putting on headphones, Lin Xiangwan asked the big man Eric
Ask around.
Eric was oiling his gloves. When he heard Lin Xiangwan's words, he grinned honestly, "I heard that a big boss was coming over and seemed to want to invest in the boxing ring, so the boss specially asked
Someone cleaned it up.”
No wonder, it turned out that he wanted to deceive people and get money. Otherwise, that iron rooster would rather let the boxing ring turn into a pigsty than pay someone to clean it up. I don’t know who is taking advantage of him, but he wants to invest in the black boxing ring. I’m not afraid.
Will the government lose everything in a sweep?
Lin Xiangwan complained secretly, but put the matter behind her for a while. She just worked here and got a salary, and she was not selling to the boxing ring. The success or failure of the boxing ring was half the same as hers.
It doesn't matter how much money she has. If this place goes bankrupt, the worst she can do is find another boxing ring.
"Lin, I'm going to pick up baby Lisa for Christmas next month."
"real?!"
When Eric mentioned Lisa's name, his whole body sparkled, and his eyes emitted astonishing brightness like gems. Lisa is his daughter, she is only twelve years old today. Lin Xiangwan has seen her photo,
She is a very beautiful little girl.
"Yes, I have saved enough alimony for her biological mother. She is coming soon and will never leave again. I will have another life-and-death contest today. If I can win, the bonus will be enough for us to spend two or three days in the future.
Years of living expenses, I want to take her to Yellowstone Park, and I will also take her to..."
"Wait, life and death? Eric, have you thought about it?" Lin Xiangwan had no choice but to interrupt Eric's beautiful idea.
The so-called life and death fight is the most violent and bloody match in the boxing ring, with the highest odds of winning and losing, and the richest prize money. Once the participating boxers step onto the ring, they cannot leave the ring unless one of them dies.
Eric was the first friend Lin Xiangwan made in the boxing ring, and perhaps the only one. Although he was very strong and somewhat ferocious in appearance, Lin Xiangwan knew that he was very kind-hearted and very righteous.
She feels that she and Ye Nan will not bully them because they are orphans and widowers, and when they are in trouble, Eric always lends a helping hand.
"Oh, dear Lin, don't frown, you look better when you smile." Eric saw Lin Xiangwan frowning and knew that she was worried about him, so he comforted him, "Who said that I am strong now?"
Do you have to be like a cow? Don't worry, I know I'm in good shape now and I will definitely win the game."
"But even if you win the game, the bonus is not enough for you two or three years to live. Eric, if you need money, I can lend it to you." You are like a cow, but in this boxing ring you dare to fight to the death.
, which one is vegetarian? All of them are jackals, tigers and leopards.
"Wow." Eric deliberately looked surprised, "Lin, your interest rate is too high, I can't afford it. You don't know, because some investors came to watch the game today, the boxing ring owner
The bonus has been increased by two times. Two times, my dear China Doll, with this money, my little Lisa and I can live a very good life." He said, leaning down and gently speaking
, without a trace of distracting thoughts, he placed a kiss on Lin Xiangwan's forehead, "Don't worry about me, I have my own sense of responsibility. Besides, even if I am really injured, won't I still have you? You Chinese people always like
What does that sentence mean? If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cub? Just wait outside and watch me catch a tiger for you.
"
Lin Xiangwan was left speechless by Eric. This foreigner seemed to be a bigoted man and seemed to be careless, but he was actually very smart. He used Chinese proverbs better than she did.
Knowing that she couldn't persuade him, Lin Xiangwan had no choice but to agree, "Then you must fight seriously and win. If you are injured today, don't blame me for being cruel."
Eric laughed and hugged Lin Xiangwan's shoulders, rubbing her long hair affectionately like a big brother. "I know, dear Lin, I will definitely open your eyes."
This scene fell in the eyes of Chu Di, who was in the VIP stand not far away. It was like a few sharp thorns, piercing from the bottom of his eyes to his heart. His fists were secretly clenched, and even what the partner opposite said
, he didn’t even hear it.
We haven’t seen each other for a few years. She has really grown up. Not only has she learned how to deal with people, but she has also become much more proficient in flirting. Looking at her bright smile, even foreigners are now tempted by her.
, isn’t it?
Ye Xiangwan, I really belong to you!
Wei Yin, who was sitting next to Chu Di, saw that his boss didn't answer the boxing ring boss' question for a long time. The other party had to ask the question again in embarrassment, but the boss still didn't respond. His eyes were blank and he didn't know where to focus.
At this point, she gently touched Chu Di's wrist with the tip of her pen.
"Mr. Chu, Mr. Locke wants to invite you to visit their boxer match. I wonder if you have time."
"Yes, of course, Mr. Locke is so generous to me, how can I refuse him?"
Although this time, his boss finally agreed happily, but for some reason, Wei Yin always felt that Chu Di's answer was squeezed out from between his teeth, as if he was trying to eat someone.
She subconsciously tightened her knitted jacket with her hands, and a chill ran down her spine, as if something bad was about to happen.
