We are two people, but with the same heart. - Villon
——
Ruochu called Xiaochuan and just said that he had something to do at home and would go back when he had time. Xiaochuan didn't say anything. After a week, Xiaochuan's waist had improved a lot and there was no problem with movement or anything else. This was also
The reason why Ruochu is willing to stay at ease.
Both parents are gone, and Ruochu has become the head of the family. Although she does not need to do anything, she suddenly feels that the burden is heavier mentally. She assists the little aunt in arranging Ruoqi's food and daily life, and has to run to the hospital during the day. Yuan Jingshu cannot be ignored.
, I have to take time to see Xiaochuan every day, Ruochu insists on cooking for him, and for a while, Ruochu becomes a superman.
Seeing Ruo Chu coming and going in a hurry, even when he came back here, he was still working non-stop, cleaning the room, cooking, washing clothes, and leaving immediately after finishing everything. Xiaochuan wanted to ask several times why he was so busy, but if Ruo Chu was so busy,
Even if he didn't say it at first, he never asked.
He once tried to call Qin Bei and turn off the phone. He wanted to tell Ruochu that he didn't need her care anymore. He couldn't bear to watch her running around like this, but he couldn't bear it. After all, one day he would see her
Without her, he would feel empty. He had a premonition that he would lose her at some point. Even if no one could take her away from him, he would still lose her because he had been brewing
A decision, but I just can't make up my mind.
Ruochu came back from Xiaochuan a little late that day. Auntie had already prepared the meal and it was getting dark, but Ruoqi hadn't come back yet. Qin Bei hadn't given her any news about Qin Nan since he left.
Her parents seemed to have disappeared collectively. She felt that she and Ruoqi were two completely abandoned children. Although they lived in a big house, they were orphans without a home. It was as desolate as it could be, and all of this, wasn't it?
She asked for it. She didn't expect that just pursuing her own happiness would cause her parents to be separated, making her family feel like home. She sat in front of the dining table and waited for Ruoqi expressionlessly, feeling cold in her heart.
Finally Ruoqi came back, walked into the restaurant as if nothing had happened, sat there as if nothing had happened, picked up the tableware and started eating, as if he hadn't seen Ruochu.
Ruo Qi was actually not convinced by Ruo Chu's control over him. He wanted to buy a game console before, but Ruo Chu didn't give him any money, so he didn't feel awkward. He thought he had persuaded his father to leave, but he didn't expect that Ruo Chu would control him even more strictly.
, I have always been dissatisfied.
Ruochu looked at Ruoqi and suppressed the anger in his heart, "Ruoqi, where have you been? Don't your parents stipulate that you must go home two hours after school? Why don't you make a phone call if you can't come back on time? It's easy to let people know.
rest assured……"
"Aren't mom and dad here?" Ruoqi said nonchalantly, without even looking at Ruochu, he continued to eat.
"Have you forgotten what dad said before he left?" Ruochu was still trying to reason with Ruoqi.
"That's what he said. There really are people using chicken feathers as arrows." As soon as Ruoqi finished speaking, Ruochu slapped his hand on the table, "What's your attitude?"
Not to be outdone, Ruoqi finally raised his head and glanced at Ruochu, slapped his chopsticks on the table, stopped eating, turned around and left the restaurant.
Ruochu sat upright alone for a long time, then slowly stood up and put away the dishes. Halfway through, he threw away the things in his hands and started crying.
Ruochu had insomnia again this night, not because of Ruoqi, but because she knew she could not go on like this anymore. She was really wrong. She had to clean up all this mess. There is only one way now, and that is to return to the original state.
, this is the only way to recover to the time before she fell in love with Xiaochuan. Although the damage has been done, she must do this in order to prevent things from getting worse, but she can't let go, can't let go of Xiaochuan, can't let go of this relationship that has a beginning and an end.
Love, she couldn't let go of her persistence during this period of time, she couldn't make up her mind, tears kept flowing all night, and by the morning, the pillow was soaked.
After coming out of the hospital, Ruochu went to the supermarket and bought a lot of vegetables, all of which were Xiaochuan's favorites. She wanted to cook them all for him. Maybe from now on, they are just passers-by, and they may never be destined to be father and daughter again.
Because God never wanted them to be father and daughter in the first place, and she would no longer calmly call him daddy and accept all his love as a matter of course.
When Ruochu bought the groceries, Xiaochuan was not at home but at work. However, he was always restless that day. He planned to talk to Ruochu. This idea started from the moment Qin Nan fainted in front of him.
Yes, it was still a long time before get off work, so he left early to go to the supermarket to buy groceries. During this time, he had been eating what Ruochu had made, and he was going to make it for her tonight.
When Xiaochuan appeared in the kitchen carrying a big shopping bag and saw that the entire kitchen was filled with things and Ruochu was busy running around, the two of them were stunned for a moment.
Xiaochuan glanced at the bag in his hand, "Well, I didn't know you bought so many things. Look, you could have a party..."
"No, I just made it for you to eat." Ruochu objected quickly. In fact, Xiaochuan just said that about a party and didn't really think about it.
Xiaochuan smiled and said, "Actually, I also want to make something for you, but it seems I can't do it today."
"How about we do it together? Let's do it all. No matter whether it can be eaten or not, we bought it anyway." If Ruochu doesn't want to see Xiaochuan disappointed, if he wants to break up today, he can't do it.
Pity.
Xiaochuan nodded, "Okay, just like we did before, compete in cooking skills and see who wins now." After finishing speaking, Xiaochuan put down the things and went back to his room to change clothes.
Ruochu looked at the bag, her smile stiffened and stiffened, but she still tried to adjust her emotions. She wanted to have a happy night, no sadness, and leave a good memory for herself and her father, so that their love would be worth it.
One game.
But her eyes were always astringent. Maybe it was because she shed too many tears last night, or maybe it was fumigated by the hot air, which made her keep rubbing her eyes.
"What's wrong, your eyes don't feel good?" Xiaochuan didn't know when he came back. He pulled away Ruochu's arm, carefully checked her eyes, and blew on her eyes. "If you feel uncomfortable, just take a rest. There are eye drops at home."
, I’ll just do it.”
"No, it's okay." Ruochu looked away in panic. At this time, if he was gentle to her again, what should she do? People in love must be separated for life. If he pushed her away ruthlessly, what would happen to her?
She is feeling better.
"Then, go and handle the dishes. Don't face the cooking fumes. Leave it to me here, okay?" Xiaochuan's voice was very soft, and the love in his eyes was so undisguised that Ruochu put down everything in his hands.
She ran out of the kitchen. She couldn't collapse or be weak at this time, but she couldn't control her tears.
Xiaochuan looked at Ruochu's back and seemed to feel the ups and downs of her emotions. Based on his experience and intuition, what she must have wanted to say to him today might be the same as what he wanted to say to her, so far.
He didn't know what happened to the Qin family, but no matter what, in order to control the damage to a range that they could bear now, they needed to stop here. Maybe Ruochu also understood this and was struggling like him,
That's why he is in pain, so why isn't he? Well, this is good, it means Ruoruo has grown up, doesn't it? He doesn't need to waste too much words, but does he really want to let go like this?
All his reason has been prepared and he is just waiting for his feelings to let go. However, the feelings are still overwhelming, making him still unable to make this decision.
There was a table full of dishes, but neither of them had any appetite, so they just sat there quietly without anyone starting to eat.
"Do you want a drink?" Xiaochuan said suddenly. He used to disapprove of Ruo Chu's drinking. Since the last time he drank too much and vomited Ruo Chu Yi, he would hardly touch it unless absolutely necessary. Today he actually brought it up on his own initiative. Ruo Chu was surprised.
She looked at him and nodded.
Xiaochuan slowly stood up and went to get the wine. His waist was still a little stiff. If Ruochu wanted to get it for him, Xiaochuan waved his hand.
"Come on, daddy will toast you a glass first. Thank you Ruoruo for taking care of you during this time." Xiaochuan poured the red wine into two goblets and raised it himself first. Ruochu was stunned for a moment, and he called himself daddy.
Is this a hint that they will return to the relationship between father and daughter?
Ruochu smiled bitterly and raised his glass, but he drank it all in one gulp. He drank so fast that he choked and coughed. While coughing, he took the wine bottle and filled it up for himself and Xiaochuan this time, "Here,
Daddy, I respect you too, thank you, thank you for falling in love with me." After saying that, Xiaochuan drank it all in one gulp again without waiting for Xiaochuan's reaction, and this time he coughed more violently.
Xiaochuan snatched Ruochu's cup. He knew she was feeling uncomfortable, but he couldn't bear to see her hurting herself like this.
If they calmed down at first, both of them fell into silence. Maybe now, even if they don't say anything, both sides know what the other wants to say, but no one is willing to speak first. Time is ticking.
In the past, "Ruoruo..."
"Xiaochuan..."
Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment. It was the first time she called him by his Chinese name. He had called him "Daddy" for more than ten years, and then called him "Humbert" because of work. Today he heard her call him this for the first time.
It's a feeling I can't describe, but it's an inexplicable heartbeat.
"Uh, eat quickly, it's already cold, isn't it?" Xiaochuan said, picked up the chopsticks, picked up something casually and put it on the plate in front of Ruochu.
"Xiaochuan, I..." Ruochu didn't move. She had been gathering courage. She had just drank two glasses of wine for this reason. Now, before she regretted it, she needed to speak out.
"Well..." Xiaochuan also understood that the showdown was coming. He put down his chopsticks and looked at her calmly. No matter what she said, he would accept it and be happy about it, because she did not let him down. She was about to make a decision.
It was a mature decision, which marked that she had grown up, and she did not let her down.
"I..." Just when Ruochu was about to say something, his cell phone suddenly rang. Could it be his father? Ruochu stood up, pulled out his chair, and went to look for his cell phone in his bag. When he saw the display
When the number appeared on the screen, he looked at Xiaochuan in surprise, because the person calling turned out to be Rousseau.
