Xiaoguai's speed was too fast. When Haiyao caught up with him, Gu Tingchuan had already opened the door.
There was a brief exchange of gazes. She looked away, avoiding his burning gaze, stepped forward and bent down slightly, saying, "Baby, it's very late now. Be obedient and go back with mom."
"I don't want it, I don't want it! I want to buy a paintbrush."
"Tomorrow, the children will have paintbrushes before they can go to class. I also want a paintbrush."
Xiaoguai shouted, stretched out his soft little hands, grabbed the corner of Gu Tingchuan's clothes, and pulled, "Uncle, don't you have a car? Can you take me there?"
Hearing this, Gu Tingchuan knelt down and looked at Xiaoguai at eye level, "What do you want to buy?"
"brush."
Xiaoguai pouted her lips and complained, "Mom will buy it for me tomorrow, but I have to take it to school tomorrow."
"Uncle, please take me there."
The little guy said in a cooing voice that was hard to refuse.
Gu Tingchuan smiled and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to rub the little guy's cute mushroom bangs, "Okay, I'll take you there."
When the little boy heard this, his smile immediately bloomed, but then he heard Gu Tingchuan say, "But, mother must agree."
If she didn't agree, he really didn't dare to make her angry. Xiaoguai pursed his lips with a look of disappointment, then turned his head to look at Hai Yao, without saying anything, just biting his lower lip, with a look of expectation on his face, and in his eyes.
His high expectations flashed through him, making Haiyao unable to bear to refuse. Every word of rejection was choked in her throat, and she could only nod helplessly.
Xiaoguai then smiled sweetly and shouted, "Mommy, can we go together?"
His little hand held her hand, making her not want to throw it away.
Those tender little hands held her hand tightly, and the other hand held Gu Tingchuan's. Almost at that moment, they looked at each other, and soft feelings flowed through their hearts.
Haiyao finally went. She originally wanted to sit in the back so that she could have a little distance, but she didn't know that Xiaoguai wanted to sit in the front. It was not convenient for her to let Xiaoguai sit in the front alone, so she had to accompany her.
This feeling is very much like a harmonious and happy family...
It's heartwarming and sad at the same time.
His eyes always stayed on her face, but she pretended not to see him and never looked at each other. She just looked out the car window blindly. She wanted to sit quietly, but Xiaoguai always had endless things to say to annoy her.
My mood gradually changed from dull to relaxed.
Listening to the conversation between father and son, the feeling is often very different from the conversation between myself and Xiaoguai...
She listened quietly, and occasionally an imperceptible smile flashed in her eyes.
All the way to the supermarket, Gu Tingchuan held Xiaoguai in one hand and walked in front. The two of them were talking and laughing.
Hai Yao followed behind and looked at their backs, feeling deeply in her heart.
Who doesn’t want a simple and complete home?
"Mom, hurry up!"
While she was in a daze, Xiao Guai shouted to her. She came to her senses and looked at them, and found that they were already standing at the elevator entrance on the second floor, waiting for her.
There is a certain distance between them.
He was at a high place and she was at a low place. Although she couldn't see clearly, she could clearly feel the soft smile in his eyes. That feeling made her feel as if nothing had happened between them.
There is no painful separation, everything is back to the way it was before.
Haiyao walked towards the stairs and just stepped onto the elevator steps. In order to avoid Gu Tingchuan's sight, she looked away. Unexpectedly, at the same time, Xu Yizhong was talking on the phone on the elevator coming down from the second floor. As soon as he put away his phone
, just when he raised his eyes, he saw her side face blankly.
The elevator kept moving, she went up, and he went down. Looking back, he could only see her back.
"Haiyao..."
Xu Yizhong's voice was choked. He walked up a few steps in a hurry, but was still taken down by the elevator.
He hurriedly ran downstairs, followed the elevator and strode up to the second floor. When he just stepped onto the elevator door, he saw her walking towards Xiaoguai with a smile on her face, and Gu Tingchuan standing beside her.
This time, he was 100% sure it was her.
But I didn’t have the courage to step forward...
Because, in what capacity did he come forward?
Beside her stood Gu Tingchuan and her children...
His steps stopped, as if he was nailed to the floor, his legs were too heavy to move forward, and he could only watch them leave.
He thought that she and Gu Tingchuan would never see each other in these years.
But now...
A bitter arc appeared at the corner of his lips, and his heart suddenly felt empty.
Over the years, he has been thinking about how to win her back, but he has done nothing for her in his life. If he says he loves her, no one will believe him.
There was a time when even he couldn't believe it himself.
He loves his own people so much and only knows how to use the people around him...
How can you love others?
Seeing Gu Tingchuan next to her at this moment, all the strength in his body seemed to have disappeared.
*******
The little guy bought paintbrushes and snacks along the way.
Gu Tingchuan pushed the shopping cart and asked him to sit in it. As the two father and son walked by, they would attract passersby's attention.
He turned around and saw that her face was full of fatigue, and he raised his lips slightly, "Would you like to sit on it too? I'll push it together?"
Meeting his smiling eyes, her face heated up and she glared at him, "Gu Tingchuan, don't you think it's childish!"
After finishing speaking, she stepped forward.
I just heard him smiling from behind and saying, "What's so childish about this? Are you still worried that I can't push you?"
He was serious. What did it matter if she sat on it?
In this way, wouldn't it be easier for him to look at her.
Suddenly, he strode up with the cart and took her hand, "Wait a minute."
When she was stunned, she saw him taking off his coat and approached her, tying the coat around her waist.
"what are you doing?"
She was confused, her face was slightly hot, and she was about to ask, but she heard Xiaoguai say, "Why does mom's butt bleed?"
"..."
She understood immediately, her mouth twitched, her face turned red, and she didn't know how to answer Xiaoguai for a while.
Embarrassed and speechless, hesitating and not knowing how to respond, Gu Tingchuan stepped forward and said something in Xiaoguai's ear. Xiaoguai immediately showed an understanding expression and gave a long ooh.
She was curious, what did he say to the child?
He is such a bad person, he must have said some words to teach bad children, right?
While walking side by side, she asked him what he had said to Xiaoguai, but he suddenly laughed and did not answer. Instead, he reached for the sanitary napkin on the shelf, threw it into the car, and continued walking forward with a smile.
.
His appearance aroused her curiosity even more!
Staring at him angrily, she walked forward sullenly and said, "It's very late, don't buy it. Are you going to move the whole supermarket back?"
She was wearing his suit jacket, which looked particularly weird. Once someone looked at her, she felt as if those eyes could penetrate the suit jacket and see the blood on her pants...
This time my menstruation came, it was a bit abnormal.
She had had a slight pain in her lower abdomen a few days ago, but it was fine. She thought the discomfort just now was the same as the previous few days.
Her constitution is very cold, so she feels uncomfortable and even painful every time she has menstruation.
In the past, doctors often said that it would be cured after giving birth to a child, but she couldn't even see it.
When she came out of the supermarket, she felt a little uncomfortable, so she endured it and got into the car without saying a word. She originally wanted him to drive back quickly so that she could rest, but unexpectedly, he suddenly said, "Wait for me in the car."
"where you go."
"Hey! Gu Tingchuan!"
She shouted, but he had already closed the car door and ran towards the mall entrance in large strides.
She wasn't feeling well physically, and now she was feeling uncomfortable in her heart as well. She was complaining that he couldn't buy something important another day?
She and Xiaoguai waited in the car for a long time...
Pain bursts in her lower abdomen, and she felt a stream of heat flowing down between her legs, making her particularly uncomfortable...
I thought I'd go back quickly so I wouldn't have to rush to the bathroom, but now...
She felt restless and uncomfortable, and finally waited for him to appear, striding over with a bag in hand. As soon as he opened the door, she became angry and complained uncontrollably, "Is there anything important that I can't buy tomorrow?
Gu Tingchuan, do you have bad intentions? You knew it was inconvenient for me, but you still stayed there for so long."
Facing her such a temper, he looked stunned and asked slightly out of breath, "What's wrong?"
She was about to continue talking when she saw Xiaoguai looking at her with a puzzled face. Since Xiaoguai was also there, it was difficult to get angry, so she had to suppress her emotions and said coldly, "Let's drive."
Gu Tingchuan frowned slightly, put the things he just bought forward, and started the engine.
The car was very quiet all the way...
Neon lights flashed through the car window, illuminating his face and making it difficult to see his expression clearly.
Xiaoguai felt bored, reached for the bag in front of him, and said with a smile, "What is this."
As soon as I opened it, there were women's uterine heating pads and motherwort brown sugar inside...
Xiaoguai was very curious, so he took it out to study for a long time, then looked at Gu Tingchuan, "Uncle, can you eat this?"
He opened the box of the facial mask, took out one, and said in surprise, "This is very similar to my mother's facial mask. Is it meant to be applied on the face?"
Gu Tingchuan smiled bitterly, reached out and pinched the little guy's face, and patiently explained, "This one is attached to the belly."
"Ah? Why does it need to be attached to the belly? Does the belly also need beauty treatment?"
As the little guy said this, he lifted up his clothes and looked at his belly, which made Gu Tingchuan laugh. He continued, "When mom has a stomachache, she sticks this on her belly, and her stomach won't hurt."
Those words seemed to be explaining to Xiao Guai, and also seemed to tell her secretly.
Haiyao's emotions had already been suppressed, but now that he knew that the thing he was rushing to buy was actually this, a strong sense of guilt flooded into his heart.
Just now, she actually scolded him for being intentional.
Thinking of this, Hai Yao was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look at him. She put away the things in Xiao Guai's hands and whispered, "Put them away, these things are not for children to touch."
The little boy got it right, turned his head to look at Hai Yao, and asked worriedly, "Mom, does your stomach hurt?"
She lowered her eyes and forced a smile, "No."
"Then why did uncle buy this?"
Gu Tingchuan rubbed the little guy's hair and diverted the little guy's attention, "Buy it and keep it for next time."
"Oh oh oh, that's it." The little guy made a long sound, and his expression of finally understanding was very cute.
Gu Tingchuan looked at him and said with a smile, "Why do you have so many questions? Aren't you tired, little one?"
"You're not tired, I'll still paint when I get back."
The little guy looked very energetic and not sleepy at all. Gu Tingchuan looked at the time and saw that it was almost early morning. How could this kid still be so energetic?
After parking the car, he carried the things while she took Xiaoguai into the corridor first.
Not far away, a black car slowly stopped.
The streetlight shined through the car glass on Xu Yizhong's face, illuminating the sadness in his eyes.
The hand holding the steering wheel slowly tightened.
He looked at this community, then raised his eyes to look at the tall buildings, feeling sad in his heart. He couldn't remember how many times he had passed by here, but he didn't know that the person he missed lived here.
He turned off the engine, lowered the window, silently lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath.
Thick smoke filled the air, and wisps of smoke blurred the sadness in his eyes...
Will he continue to wait for the woman he has been waiting for for so many years, and will he still want to get involved in her life?
