Putting down the storybook in his hand, he carefully squeezed the quilt for him and patted Li Li's back gently with both hands. He watched the little guy slowly close it and fall asleep deeply. Ruosheng's lips couldn't help but evoke an interesting smile.
I don’t know if this child is feeling something. Recently, he has been pestering me about something and has to sleep with him every night [
This kind of habit didn't exist before, but even if I wanted to have it before, I didn't have the opportunity.
I used to be busy running around to make money every day. I ate today and didn’t know what to eat tomorrow. When I came back every night, Li Li was already asleep.
"Why"
Looking at his sleeping little face, Ruosheng couldn't help but sigh softly.
I really didn’t expect that time flew by so fast. I think back then, he was still a swaddled baby.
If you are a little kid, you will cry and cry whenever you are away from adults, which makes you look pitiful.
At that time, I didn't understand anything. Every time he cried, he would cry too. Thanks to Li Xi, who was always by his side to help take care of him. If it weren't for her...
"Haha, why did you remember this..."
Why did he think of this again? Ruosheng couldn't help but bring up a wry smile and shook his head vigorously.
Really, what’s happened to me recently? I seem to be getting more and more nostalgic. Could it be that I’m really getting old?
But now I really wish Li Xi was by my side. I have so many things I want to say to her.
If she were here, she would definitely be able to help me think of a solution. She is always so smart.
"Li Li is asleep"
Then the moonlight looked at the sleeping Li Li, and Leng Litian's lips couldn't help but evoke a smile.
It's really amazing how people can be filled with energy just by looking at themselves sleeping, and all their worries disappear in an instant.
"Um"
Ruosheng nodded gently and knew who it was without looking at her.
Although she and Li Li went to bed very early every day, she could still feel that Leng Litian would come to see Li Li every night no matter how late he came back.
It seems that he really cares about Li Li, right? Ruosheng's lips couldn't help but evoke a wry smile [
"Then you go to bed early"
One outside and the other inside looked at Ruosheng's figure with her back to him, Leng Litian couldn't help but sigh.
She looked so stubborn and tightly protected Li Li in her arms, showing that she was always protecting the hen.
I had prepared many, many words, but looking at her stubborn back, I couldn't say anything.
"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
Ruosheng quickly jumped up from the bed and whispered, then quickly opened the door and went out in one movement.
She won't let herself look back. She's afraid that she will regret it if she looks back.
"Huh"
If you have something to say to yourself
She did. Leng Litian was filled with doubts, but he still stopped.
"Huhu..."
Standing barefoot in front of Leng Litian, he held his hand against his pounding heart and breathed heavily.
Although it was only a short distance, Ruosheng still felt very tired.
"Say something"
Leng Litian stood there and looked at her quietly.
Under the moonlight, she stood there breathing heavily, looking very tired.
"About Li Li"
Taking a deep breath, Ruosheng slowly raised his head and looked at Leng Litian calmly.
Yes, she has thought about it for a long time and really should have a good talk about it. Many things will not happen if she doesn’t think about it.
There is no way to escape like this
"Oh~ That's it, okay then"
Obviously Leng Litian didn't expect that she would suddenly want to talk to him about this. He was a little surprised, but the serious look on her face didn't seem like she was telling lies.[
"Well, then I won't beat around the bush with you. What do you want so that you don't steal Li Li from me?"
Ruosheng straightened her back and said directly.
It is impossible for her to give up Li Li, so there is only one way for her to go, and that is to persuade Leng Litian no matter what, no matter what, how to make him give up Li Li.
"It's a bit inappropriate to grab this."
He couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and said coldly Leng Litian
Unexpectedly, in her opinion, she was trying to steal Li Li from her.
"There's nothing inappropriate. It's just like this. Tell me what you want."
Ruosheng said without caring about his rebuttal at all.
She has her own standards of judgment. To her, Leng Litian is trying to steal Li Li from her.
In her opinion, anyone who wants to take Li Li away from her by any means is a robbery.
No matter who it is, she won't let him succeed.
"So in your opinion, if a father wants his child to be with him, it's a robbery."
Frowning slightly, Leng Litian's heart couldn't help but feel heavy.
He stared at her closely and didn't miss any of her expressions.
It feels like she has regarded Li Li as her own, an object that can be controlled at will.
"I...I didn't say that and...and you haven't fulfilled your obligations as a father at all."
In an instant, Ruosheng became angry and jumped up excitedly, regardless of whether it would wake up Li Li, and yelled at her loudly.
Yes, he just borrowed a seed. He didn't even look at Li Li for so many years. He brought him up little by little.
Why should he compete with me now?
"Really? Then who do you think caused this result?"
The corners of his mouth twitched hard and finally turned into a cold smile. Leng Litian looked at Ruosheng quietly.
His eyes were full of deep resentment, which made Ruosheng couldn't help but take two steps back.
"me……"
I clenched my fists tightly, although I felt a lot of dissatisfaction in my heart, but I couldn't say a word to refute.
Yes, it seems that everything is caused by her
But...but...
"It's you"
Looking at Ruosheng coldly, Leng Litian said calmly
Originally, he didn't want things to get like this after so many days. He could also see how good her relationship with Li Li was, but this woman seemed like she wouldn't wake up unless she took some harsh medicine.
"I...I...I don't know, I don't know..."
Everything is because of you, everything is because of you...
In an instant, Ruosheng felt like her head was exploding. She wanted to figure out what was going on, but...but her head was in chaos and she couldn't think of anything...
"You should know very well what is best for Li Li."
Seeing her pale face and panic-stricken eyes, Leng Litian softened his heart, but he told himself that this matter must be resolved and he couldn't soften his heart.
"me……"
He raised his head and stared at Leng Litian Ruosheng with empty eyes, his mouth opening and closing timidly.
What is the best thing for Li Li?
What is best for Li Li?
"What does a child need, can you give it to him?"
Leng Litian continued to ask
Ruosheng hugged her head tightly, and several voices echoed in her head.
can you give it to him can you give it to him
It really seems like I can’t give him anything.
He has been living a life of hunger since he was a child. Eating is a problem, not to mention those weird toys that other children play with, and he has never seen them before.
"As parents, we cannot delay our children because of our own willfulness."
Looking at her Leng Litian continued to say
This sentence was spoken to Ruosheng and at the same time, it was also a warning to myself.
In fact, he has been very confused these days and has no idea what to do. The sudden changes have made his life a mess.
Gradually, he came to understand that since it has become a reality, he must face it bravely. If he does not escape, he will not be able to escape for the rest of his life.
"You say I am delaying the child"
Raising her head, Ruosheng looked at Leng Litian in confusion.
Ruosheng's eyes were filled with confusion as to when he had delayed Li Li.
Isn't everything I did done for Li Li? Why do you say it's a delay?
"Well don't you think so?"
Leng Litian pinched his forehead and asked tiredly.
In fact, it’s not just Ruosheng’s problem, he also has his own problem
Li Li is already a big kid. He needs to learn and get rid of more partners.
But they confine a child here because of their own affairs. If this continues, it will really delay the child.
"Really? Haha, it seems... it seems..."
Fragments from the past kept popping up in her mind, and Ruosheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Yes, although I don't want to admit it, it is undeniable that I am delaying Li Li.
If... if Li Li followed him, he would not be looked down upon by other children, would not be bullied again, and would not live below the food and clothing line every day.
In this case... In this case Li Li should...
I don’t know why the shadow of Ling Yuechu suddenly appeared in Ruosheng’s mind
If Li Li lived with Leng Litian, he would become a man like Ling Yuechu, right?
"So don't be willful. We can't delay our children because of our willfulness."
"Yeah"
"Um"
Leng Litian nodded gently and looked at Ruosheng with a trace of tenderness in his eyes.
He was looking forward to something in his heart...
"Your solution is to let me leave Li Li and let Li Li follow you?"
He raised his head and looked at Leng Litian, his eyes filled with loneliness.
Ruosheng had millions of thoughts in her heart that she would not do it...but Leng Litian's words were like sharp knives that penetrated deeply into her heart.
In fact, she understands everything
In fact, she also knew that this would not do any good to Li Li at all. She could not give Li Li a better life... nor could she give him a sense of security...
Ruosheng's heart immediately became heavy when she thought of Li Li's panicked and insecure look.
"I……"
"Okay, you don't need to say anything, I will think about it carefully."
"I……"
Looking at Ruosheng's devastated back, Leng Litian punched the wall hard.
How the hell did it become like this? That’s obviously not what I wanted to say.
