From the moment he thought he would see her again in Los Angeles, his heart fell completely on her. In this life, he will never shift again.
At night.
"Do you two want to sleep well?" Xiao Xixi looked at the two children, even though they were wearing pajamas, they still sat on the bed and refused to fall asleep. I don't know what happened today. The two of them were really energetic.
Reality.
Xiaojue and Xiaohui looked up at her as if they had agreed, and shook their heads: "Mommy, you're not sleepy."
Xiao Xixi sighed softly, feeling helpless. After returning from a walk after dinner, the two children seemed to have something on their minds. Such thoughts and suspicions sounded strange, but as a mother, she was sure
I can feel the difference between the two children.
Xiaohui held her beloved toy, words flashing in her bright pupils, but when Xiao Xixi saw her, she turned her eyes away and did not respond.
The more this happened, the more Xiao Xixi felt that something was wrong. Holding the fairy tale book, the two children refused to sleep even after being forced to lie down by her, showing that they were being careful.
"Do you have anything to say to Mommy?" Xiao Xixi couldn't hold back and asked like two adults.
"No." Xiao Jue replied without hesitation.
But Xiaohui pursed her lips, looked at Xiaojue, and then at Xiao Xixi without saying anything. With her like this, Xiao Xixi clearly found a breakthrough.
"Xiao Hui, tell mommy, why... don't you want to sleep today?" Xiao Xixi spoke softly, feeling stressed. Although the two children were only three years old, they felt like they were overriding her thoughts.
Xiao Hui was obviously shaken. She hesitated for a moment and was about to speak, but Xiao Jue raised a small hand to cover her mouth and made a "shh" sound from her mouth.
"Little - Jue -" Xiao Xixi understood that the two children must have discussed something beforehand. But what could it be? Doubt, speechlessness, depression, helplessness...all kinds of complicated feelings came to her heart at the same time. She
This mother was actually frightened by her two children.
"Mommy, we're fine. Let's go to bed now..." Xiaojue used a very obedient tone, trying to suppress Xiao Xixi's feelings, but it had the opposite effect. After all, he was a child, how could he coax an adult.
He spoke childishly, but his eyes refused to close despite blinking.
Xiao Xixi fell into a state of semi-contemplation. There was no reason why the two children suddenly behaved like this. Now, this issue must be faced squarely. She asked gently: "You tell mommy, it doesn't matter... Xiaojue, why don't you
Let my sister talk?"
Even though she was a little worried, she still tried her best to keep her emotions as calm as possible. In the past three years of raising children, she has endured them no matter how grueling the moments were. Therefore, this moment was another time to exercise her patience.
"No, Mommy," Xiaojue answered her seriously, looking at Xiao Xixi with a gleam in his knowing black eyes, "——Daddy, why can't you... live with us?"
The question was thrown to Xiao Xixi. As a child, he didn't know much about things between adults. When he was a baby, his concept of "daddy" was Yan Rui. But now, he finally has that god-like heroic Situ Leiyan.
Appeared, but he didn't understand.
Xiao Xixi was stunned, her whole body was a little numb. She didn't expect that what the child couldn't hide was his immediate dependence on his father.
The bitterness in her bones floated out easily. She looked at Xiaohui, who was also waiting for her answer seriously. For a moment, she was a little tongue-tied and smiled: "...What's wrong with Daddy? -
—Isn’t it great to have a mommy?”
The pure eyes of the two children without a trace of impurity were focused on her face, but she was very afraid that she would live up to this expectation. Yes, she really couldn't give them a father right away.
What to do?
She really wanted to ask someone else. As her children grew older, as Situ Leiyan had more and more opportunities, and as her relationship with him became deeper and deeper, her feelings for "Daddy" seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
The hair is thick.
"It's good to have a mommy," Xiaohui said despite what Xiaojue had told her before, "but everyone else has a daddy, why don't we? Today, John said his daddy..."
"Needless to say, Mommy won't find Daddy for us." Xiao Jue frowned with a little anger, as if he already knew Xiao Xixi's reaction, and even Xiao Hui's reaction.
Express displeasure.
He turned around, unwilling to pay attention to the two women.
This kind of attitude is even more inexplicable to Xiao Xixi. This is the first time that children will look down on their father in order to look down on them. I don’t know what they have been deceived by, or perhaps it is because of their contact with other children during the day.
You expect too much from your father.
Unable to restrain her guilt, Xiao Xixi's eyes were filled with tears. The child was too naive to understand, but this natural attitude made her feel a little bit pushy.
On the one hand, it was due to guilt for the child, and on the other hand, it was due to his unwillingness to take the initiative to provoke Situ Leiyan.
"Ding-dong!" The doorbell suddenly rang outside the door.
Xiao Xixi was a little confused. When night fell, could it be... Before she could think about it anymore, the two children quickly climbed up and sat on the bed, their expressions could not hide the joy: "Mommy! - It's dad.
It’s Daddy!”
It's him?!
Xiao Xixi was hesitating when the doorbell started to ring again. She stood up from squatting beside the bed and walked to the door with doubts. She glanced through the door hole and opened the door without any reaction: "Why are you here?
Already?"
According to her, coming after nightfall was not Situ Leiyan's habit for so many days.
"I missed you, come and see." Situ Leiyan's voice was hoarse and low, but there was a kind of warmth in it. When he stepped through the door and came in, the atmosphere of the whole room was that of a warm and comfortable home.
"Daddy!"
"——Daddy!"
Before Xiao Xixi could close the door, childish shouts of surprise could already be heard from the bedroom. Needless to say, the two children must have been indescribably excited about Situ Leiyan's legendary appearance. She couldn't help but feel a little cold.
, slightly raising the corners of her lips, she followed Situ Leiyan to the bedroom and saw the two children standing on the bed jumping up and down.
"You..." She was about to pretend to be angry, but the two children showed a completely indifferent attitude. In an instant, it seemed as if three vertical lines were drawn on her forehead.
"Daddy misses you. Come and sleep with you." Situ Leiyan's eyes glanced at the two children. He couldn't hide his full affection at all. He seemed to have some confidence in his heart. He opened his arms and walked away.
When I reached the bedside, I hugged two small figures.
"You guys... really make me helpless." Xiao Xixi sighed softly and wanted to continue to be sulky, but instead she couldn't help but smile. Seeing the way the elder and the younger were getting along so warmly, there was some invisible warmth in her heart.
