In the long corridor, the light and shadow overlapped. Ye Xingchen walked forward with uneasy steps. Every time he took a step forward, he felt a little more timid and even flinched. However, Sisi kept calling her, which made her heart continue to heat up.
, I had no choice but to suppress my complicated thoughts and continue to move forward.
Lou Xi also had a feeling of timidity. People say that one day without seeing each other is like three autumns, and they had not seen each other for more than one day. Counting from the day of her miscarriage, they had only met face to face twice, once when he was with her.
When she woke up and entered the ward, she said only a few words. The second time was when she was discharged from the hospital and left. In just a few seconds, she only left his back. Now that we finally saw each other again, how could he not
Heart pounding?
The two people's eyes intertwined in the air. In addition to the faint smell of disinfectant, the air was also mixed with a trace of embarrassment.
But among them, the sweet burden couldn't be happier. Sisi opened her hands, waiting for her mother's arms.
Finally, when they were in front of him, less than one meter away, Ye Xingchen tried hard to calm down the frantic heartbeat in his heart, but his eyes were slightly averted, not daring to look at him, and he only reached out to hold Sisi towards him.
Lou Xi was startled for a moment, suddenly at a loss. He handed the little girl in his arms to her numbly. Their hands touched accidentally. He felt an indescribable emotion in his heart. He avoided it and was reluctant to let go. He held it again.
I don't dare, I really hope that this short second can be as long as a light year, so that his big hands can warm her slightly cold body temperature.
Ye Xingchen hugged Sisi, and the little girl kissed her. The faint smell of milk made her eyes heat up, and she couldn't help but lower her head and kiss her back.
At this moment, she finally realized what a big mistake she had made by leaving Sisi these days!
Because every time she saw Sisi, she couldn't help but think of the child she lost. When she looked at Sisi, she felt very warm, but at the same time it was very painful. So when she was discharged from the hospital, she left Sisi behind ruthlessly.
, didn’t even look at her. She thought that if she didn’t look or think about it, she would slowly forget about it, but it turned out that was not the case. Not only would she not forget the child, but she would also miss Sisi deeply. In this way
miss.
Subconsciously, he hugged the little girl tighter.
"You..." After a pause, she slowly raised her eyes to look at Lou Xi, but the focus was a little erratic, and asked softly, "Why are you here?"
Lou Xi was stunned for a moment, forgetting why he came. He only looked down at her beautiful face. She was still so gentle and docile, but seemed to be more mature and perseverant, making him feel familiar and familiar.
strangeness.
"How are you...how are you doing?" He tried very hard to break the unfamiliarity between the two of them.
Ye Xingchen was also slightly startled. He came all the way just to ask this?
"Very good." She raised her lips slightly, deliberately concealing the turmoil in her heart with a brisk tone. The corners of her mouth raised a slight arc, but a bitter pain arose in her heart.
She smiled slightly, but that smile made his heart ache.
Lou Xi looked at her clear eyes. In that tender world, there was still hidden sadness that had not yet healed.
"That's good." He cleared his throat and smiled deliberately.
Both of them had thousands of words in their hearts, but neither of them knew where to start.
Suddenly, the silence was broken by the ringtone of his mobile phone. Lou Xi took out his mobile phone and saw Lou Yi's number was displayed on it. Then he suddenly remembered about Shu Rao. Oh my god, he had forgotten it!
Ye Xingchen saw that he looked wrong and quickly asked, "What happened?"
"It's about Shu Rao!" Lou Xi didn't say much and directly handed the phone to her.
Ye Xingchen didn't know why. After answering the phone and listening to a few words, his expression suddenly changed and he said hurriedly, "I'll be there soon!"
"I'll drive you there!" Lou Xi said quickly. Ye Xingchen had no time to think about it and nodded, "Yeah!"
◎◎◎
They rushed to the hospital where Shu Rao was staying. As soon as Ye Xingchen appeared, Lou Yi felt as if he had seen a savior. He quickly took her to the window to fill out the form. Ye Xingchen quickly filled it out and then ran directly to the ward.
She thought Shu Rao was still unconscious, but she didn't expect to see Shu Rao struggling to get up as soon as she entered the door. She quickly stepped forward and said, "Rao Rao, don't move, lie down quickly!"
Shu Rao was drowsy. When he looked up and saw Ye Xingchen, he suddenly became excited. He hugged her and burst into tears, "Xingchen! Why are you so stupid!"
Lou Yi explained everything about the airport. Ye Xingchen knew that he could no longer hide it from Shu Rao, so he hugged her, patted her back, comforted her and himself, and said, "It's okay, Rao Rao,
I'm doing great now."
Shu Rao burst into tears, but kept shaking her head. How could it be okay? Not only did she get married inexplicably, she also had a child, but she lost it again... How could her life have experienced so many twists and turns in just a few months?
?And she is the culprit!
"Xingchen... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." She knew it was useless to say this, but she didn't know what else to say besides these three words.
Ye Xingchen hugged her tightly, swallowed all the sourness, and tried to smile, "Raoruo, things are not as bad as you think. I have gained a lot in this marriage, really!"
Shu Rao couldn't understand it at all and looked at her with tears in her eyes. What could she get from such a marriage? Love? Her seven-year relationship with Xiang Fan was ruined in one day, let alone someone like them.
"Mama..." Sisi's timid voice suddenly sounded.
Ye Xingchen suddenly smiled, but Shu Rao was startled. With bleary eyes, he saw a little girl beside the bed. "This is..."
"This is my daughter!" Ye Xingchen picked up Sisi and placed her in front of Shu Rao.
Shu Rao was stunned. This child looked more than two years old. How could he be Xingchen's daughter?
However, the little girl is quite beautiful, with her sculpted pink face, dark eyes, and tender pink mouth, she looks like a porcelain doll, making it easy for people to like her.
And she smiled at her, innocent and cute, and even extended her little hand for her to hug.
Shu Rao felt an inexplicable joy in her heart, but she was still stunned and did not reach out to her.
"Godmother... okay..." Sisi said obediently, as if she had been taught by someone, and her little hands tightly held Shu Rao's fingers.
Shu Rao suddenly felt excited, Godmother?
Ye Xingchen raised his hand to wipe away Shu Rao's tears and said softly, "Shouldn't my daughter call you godmother? We made an agreement before, don't you want to go back on it?"
They had agreed to be the godmothers of each other's children, but they never imagined that one day it would be like this.
Shu Rao couldn't react for a moment, but Sisi tried her best to be cute, "Godmother... Godmother..."
Ye Xingchen pushed Shu Rao, "Sisi is calling you!"
Shu Rao looked at Sisi and said hesitantly, "Hello...hello..."
The little girl smiled sweetly again, put her arms around her neck, gave her a "squeak" and gave her a loud kiss.
Shu Rao was completely stunned. It took him a long time to come to his senses. When he looked at Ye Xingchen, his sadness subsided and his softness increased, "Xingchen... what's going on?"
Ye Xingchen touched Sisi's little head and said softly, "Sisi is Lou Xi's adopted daughter, and now she is also my daughter. She is the first treasure I gained in this marriage."
Shu Rao didn't understand, so Ye Xingchen told the story from beginning to end. After hearing this, Shu Rao's eyes turned red again.
I really didn't expect that this little girl was so pitiful that she was abandoned by her mother just like her.
Perhaps because of sympathy for each other, Shu Rao hugged Sisi tightly and his mood became much calmer.
Ye Xingchen smiled happily. She knew that Sisi was the best regulator in this chaos. Firstly, no one could refuse such a cute little girl. Secondly, they all had the same problem as Sisi. Naturally,
It’s easier to appreciate each other.
At the same time, she was very happy. Fortunately, Shu Rao knew about this matter. If she had known about it earlier, what might have happened. The reason why Shu Rao didn't say anything now was partly because of Sisi, and partly because of
I knew she had just had an abortion, and I was concerned about her body and emotions, so I tolerated it like this.
Sisi quickly conquered Shu Rao, and with Ye Xingchen's painstaking comfort, Shu Rao slowly accepted the fact that Ye Xingchen and Lou Xi were married, but she still couldn't accept Lou Xi and wanted them to divorce.
The idea has not changed.
After ordering a bottle of intravenous drip, Shu Rao said she wanted to go home from the hospital. Seeing that she was indeed fine, Ye Xingchen agreed. The two supported each other and left the ward together, while Sisi followed them, very well-behaved.
In the corridor, Lou Xi and Lou Yi were both there. The four of them faced each other, and the atmosphere was as weird as possible.
Shu Rao looked at Lou Yi and then at Lou Xi, distinguishing the two from their clothes, and looking at Lou Xi with eyes filled with deep hostility.
"Rao Rao..." Ye Xingchen shook her hand slightly. Shu Rao hesitated for a long time before silently retracting his gaze and turning his head without looking at anyone.
Ye Xingchen knew that she was crying again.
Ye Xingchen looked at Lou Xi and said softly, "It's nothing. You guys go back first. I'll take Sisi back first. I haven't seen her for a few days and I miss her too. Do you think that's okay?"
"Of course." Lou Xi agreed happily, and Sisi agreed even more.
"Thank you." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly. She knew how important Sisi was to Lou Xi. His willingness to hand Sisi over to her showed that he had enough trust in her.
Lou Xi looked at Ye Xingchen's smile and couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded. It had been a long time since he had seen her smile. Even though it was just like this, it was not easy. This was her sincere smile, although it was very shallow.
But it was enough to comfort his heart.
A group of five people left the hospital. Lou Xi's car could fit in, but why was Shu Rao willing to take his car? She would rather walk back than get in the car. Ye Xingchen followed her and let Lou Xi and Lou Yi go first.
.
Lou Xi nodded silently, watching Ye Xingchen, Shu Rao, and Sisi get into the taxi together before leaving with Lou Yi.
Lou Yi's flight had already taken off, so he had to take the next one. Lou Xi sent him to the airport. When Lou Yi arrived at the airport, he bought a new ticket, retrieved his checked luggage, and went to the bathroom to change.
In civilian clothes, he really can no longer ruin the image of a soldier!
With a sigh, the plane took off and flew towards Beijing.
◎◎◎
Ye Xingchen asked for annual leave, and Shu Rao also asked for leave. She only went to work for one day, and then asked for leave again. Naturally, her boss was dissatisfied, and threatened to transfer her from an international route with better remuneration to a domestic route with average remuneration. Shu Rao frowned.
She said yes without any wrinkles. In order to make more money, she worked so hard before, but she ignored her family and friends. After what happened with Shu Jing, after the wedding, and after what happened with Xingchen, she began to regret it.
, it turns out that over the years, she has neglected many things in order to be strong, and she will never do it again in the future.
Sisi lived with Ye Xingchen and Shu Rao for several days. The little girl was overjoyed. Every night, the three of them slept together, with the little girl lying in the middle. Ye Xingchen had already regarded her as his daughter.
Shu Rao's love for her also grew day by day.
"Sisi, what do you want to eat today? Godmother will cook it for you!" Shu Rao touched her soft little face and couldn't help but smile.
"Rourou!" the little girl said coquettishly.
Shu Rao burst out laughing, "You little greedy cat! Okay, my godmother will make you braised pork and a fish, okay?"
"Fish?" Sisi shook her little head. She didn't like eating fish.
Ye Xingchen was slightly startled. Sisi, like him, didn't like eating fish either.
"Xingchen, let's go to the supermarket to buy vegetables, and...meat!" Shu Rao deliberately teased Sisi. The little girl laughed, but Ye Xingchen didn't react.
"Stars? Stars?" Shu Rao called twice in succession, but Ye Xingchen didn't answer. It wasn't until Shu Rao stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes that she suddenly came back to her senses and asked hesitantly, "What...did you just say?"
"I said we go to the supermarket."
"OK."
The two of them took Sisi out together. The place where they lived was not too far from the supermarket. It was okay to take a walk without taking a car. The three of them walked there slowly. Such days were calm and beautiful, but they also felt like a child.
Something happened.
Halfway through the walk, Ye Xingchen was worried that Sisi would be tired and wanted to hug her, but Sisi insisted on walking by herself. Her calves were short but she moved very quickly.
Ye Xingchen couldn't help but think that maybe this was due to Chen Zhou's inheritance. Sisi's physique was also good and she was very lively and active. If it weren't for the heart disease, she thought Sisi might become a person when she grew up.
An outstanding female soldier.
Soon, when they arrived at the supermarket, they pushed a cart and asked Sisi to sit on it. They had a tacit understanding like sisters.
The two started shopping. They didn't originally want to buy too many things, but just in time for the supermarket to be renovated, many things were on sale, so they couldn't help but buy more.
Shu Rao bought a lot of supplements for Ye Xingchen. Although Ye Xingchen knew that she wouldn't be able to finish them all, she didn't stop them because she knew that if she stopped them, Shu Rao would blame herself and feel uncomfortable.
But the result of not stopping them was also terrible. When the three of them left the supermarket, there were ten large and small bags. Even Sisi had to hold her own two bags of snacks. The inflated packaging took up too much space.
There was no room for it, so I had to let the little girl hold it by herself.
"Xingchen, let's take a taxi back!"
"But... where are the cars?" Ye Xingchen looked at the road. Because this area needs to be re-planned, the roads are blocked. It is for this reason that the supermarket has to close for renovation!
Both of them were so desperate that they had no choice but to walk back carrying large and small bags.
Walking and stopping along the way, resting again and again, they finally arrived at the gate of the community. The three of them stopped again and put down the things in their hands. There were red marks on the palms of their hands.
"Sisi, are you tired?" Ye Xingchen and Shu Rao were both worried.
"Not tired." Sisi shook her head. One pack of snacks was missing from her arms, and the other pack had been eaten on the way.
"You really know how to save energy!" Shu Rao couldn't help laughing, and Ye Xingchen also laughed.
Not far away, a Land Rover had been parked for a long time. Lou Xi had been waiting for a long time. No one answered the doorbell when he rang the doorbell, and no one answered the phone. He could only wait, and finally he waited!
He saw the three of them from a distance, chatting and laughing. His eyes couldn't help but stay on Ye Xingchen's face. Seeing her smiling so happily and naturally, the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously. It seemed like she was having a good time these days.
good.
"Do you need my help?"
The tall figure suddenly flashed down, and Ye Xingchen was startled. Before he could speak, Shu Rao jumped in and said coldly, "No need!"
"Yes!" Sisi voted quickly. In her opinion, her father was very capable!
Shu Rao and Sisi each held their own opinions, and it was Ye Xingchen's turn to express his position. Lou Xi looked at her with expectations in his eyes, and he subconsciously clenched his hands as if nervous.
Ye Xingchen was at a loss. He looked at him, then at Sisi, then at Shu Rao, and finally at a lot of things on the ground. He held his lips and said hesitantly, "Then...that's troublesome."
is you."
As if he had received some kind of amnesty, Lou Xi immediately picked up all the bags on the ground and rushed upstairs quickly.
When Ye Xingchen saw Shu Rao's suspicious eyes, his face turned red. He quickly took Sisi's little hand and followed him. In fact, she didn't know why she agreed.
