"Really? Dad, you must be nice to Sister Mai. Can you also give Sister Mai a Barbie doll? If you give it to her, she will like you. Dad, okay?"
Life, if only it were that simple.
But the child became happy, shook his hand, and tilted his little head: "Dad, I know what Sister Mai likes, can I tell you all about it?"
She didn't care whether her father answered or not, and whispered: "Sister Mai likes to eat ice cream cones the most, beef jerky, and cola chicken wings...Sister Mai's favorite fruits are oranges and loquats, Mai."
Sister also likes steak... Well, Sister Mai also likes to buy beautiful clothes for me. Sister Mai also likes it herself and said that she will buy us many beautiful clothes in the future... Sister Mai also likes a car. She said that when we have money,
Just go and change that car..."
That is simply a detailed personal profile of Qiao Xiaomai. The child must have read too many celebrity profiles. What he likes to eat, drink, and his hobbies are listed one by one.
"Sister Mai also likes to watch movies... By the way, Dad, would you like to invite Sister Mai to watch a movie? Let's go see it tomorrow, okay?"
He became crazy after listening to the child's words.
See a movie?
Watching a movie with Qiao Mai?
Like an ordinary couple, spending the whole night with Coca-Cola and popcorn?
Only then did he remember that over the years, he had forgotten even the feeling of watching movies - actually, in his entire life, when watching movies with women, he had only watched them with Bingbing a few times. And it was still within those two months -
At that time, he pursued Bingbing passionately, and even told Qiao Xiaomai every time he came back from watching the movie - hoping to see Qiao Xiaomai angry, painful, jealous and angry -
From then on, he never watched a movie again, and never even entered the cinema door again.
"Dad, how about you and Sister Mai go to the movies? I'll go with you, let's go see Pleasant Goat..."
"..."
He patted the child's head and said softly: "It's so late, Xiaobai should go to bed."
After coaxing the child to sleep, he quietly turned off the lights and walked out, sitting quietly on the sofa in the corner. The door creaked open, and he saw Qiao Xiaomai coming out like a ghost and walking silently to Xiaobai's room.
Because she was so tired, she didn't realize that Yi Xiangxi hadn't left yet.
The door was not closed, she just lay down quietly, hugged her daughter tightly, and nestled against her soft and cute little body, it seemed that she had a little support, and a lame person had the comfort of a crutch.
"Sister Mai...Sister Mai..."
"Xiaobai, Sister Mai wants to sleep with you tonight, okay?"
"Okay...I like to sleep next to Sister Mai the most..." the child murmured inarticulately, his soft little hands hugged her neck, and his little face pressed softly against hers, and he soon fell asleep.
Fell asleep.
Yi Xiangxi opened the ajar door. That night, the moonlight was so hazy. Under the moonlight, he saw the mother and daughter sleeping sideways in the same direction, just like the weekend he spent at his home.
Yes, lying on this bed was his wife, daughter... who should have been the closest people to him in the world. However, he felt hazy, everything was like this blurry moonlight, far away in the clouds,
Can't get close.
Yi Xiangxi sat in the empty living room until dawn, then stood up with his numb legs.
