"You and Duoduo have been together for so long. I wonder if you have noticed that she is actually a little different from ordinary people..." Mom looked at Xia Haoyu with a serious face, but there was hesitation in her voice.
Xia Haoyu's face also showed surprise, but both of them continued to chat in order to notice my appearance. I stood gently behind the vase and listened to what the two of them were saying.
"Mom, I don't quite understand what you mean. Duoduo and I have been together for more than half a year, and I haven't noticed any difference..." Xia Haoyu also had a magical look on his face, looking at his mother calmly.
Looking from my footsteps, my mother’s hands were clasped together nervously, and the look on her face was very uneasy. Is it true, as she said, that I am different from ordinary people? What is the difference? Is it serious?
Why have I never heard from her?
"Haoyu, Duoduo himself doesn't know about this matter... So, I am also hesitating..." Mom raised her eyes and looked at Xia Haoyu. Time has left crow's feet on his face. She looks like this, even I
They all felt more curious.
"Mom can tell me directly. There are a lot of things that are not suitable for me to know. Naturally, I will not tell her."
Huge damage?”
Mom suddenly raised her head, looked at Xia Haoyu, waved her hand, and said: "No, no, no, that's not true. Apart from the fact that her father's incident has caused some psychological trauma to her, Duoduo is quite contented.
, there is no psychological defect.”
Xia Haoyu looked at his mother with a gloomy expression and asked, "What I mean is, is there any discomfort in Duoduo's body?"
Physically? Now it was my turn to be surprised. How could a body like mine, which rarely gets sick once a year, be defective? Did my mother make a mistake? Could it be that my aunt doesn't come every month at the right time?
Is this considered a limitation?
"Haoyu," my mother looked at Xia Haoyu calmly and said, "Actually, this matter is also my fault. It's me, the mother, who didn't take good care of Duoduo..."
"Mom, don't say that. If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't worry, I can handle it."
I won’t marry another woman, there will only be one more in this life.”
I gently covered my chest and watched my man speak so confidently in front of my mother. After all, I was still easily moved!
"Haoyu, actually Duoduo does have some physical defects." There were tears in my mother's eyes when she spoke, which immediately surprised me. What on earth is going on? Do I have any physical defects?
"Duoduo's father was a bank security guard, and he abandoned us, mother and daughter, in an accidental car accident. Duoduo was still young at the time and refused to leave her father no matter what. We Yunshui still practiced
Burial, Duoduo's father's grave is in Nanshan. That day after school, I didn't come back on time because I worked overtime in the factory. When I came back after the overtime work, I found that there was no one at home. It was summer, a thunderstorm roared, and she was a little girl.
Where would she go? So, I thought the child was playful, so I called his classmate's home. They said she left after school. I looked around anxiously, almost every house on our street.
, I still didn’t find her... That day, it rained very hard. I wore a raincoat and walked in the rain for an hour or two, and I was completely soaked. Besides, Duoduo was still so small..."
I have some vague memories of what my mother told me, but they are all old stories. Why did my mother mention these things?
"Did Duoduo go to the cemetery?" Xia Haoyu's voice was calm, but I saw that one of his hands on his lap had been clenched into a fist, and I didn't know what he was thinking.
"Yes, this silly kid ran to Nanshan alone after hearing what his classmates said about ghosts and ghosts. He stayed there from about six o'clock in the evening to about nine o'clock, and was soaked in the rain for more than three hours, waiting for us to catch up.
By then, she was already dying, but she still held her father's tombstone with both hands and refused to let go..."
"Been wet in the rain for three hours?" Xia Haoyu said with surprise in his voice: "As far as I know, Duoduo was just a little girl at that time..."
So? What are they going to say? What are they doing bringing up these past events?
"Yes, let's think about it. It's me, the mother, who can't bear with her and doesn't take good care of her." The mother gently wiped the corners of her eyes and continued: "Such a young child has a fever because he has been in the rain for a long time.
I have a cold. I have been calling for daddy. I have been crying and clamoring for daddy. It is over 39 degrees. I have been missing a whole week. I have tried all possible methods including antipyretics and intravenous drip. Even the doctor has said that this child may not survive.
I couldn't stop it. One day a week later, I carried her to the hospital to bask in the sun. Half an hour later, I carried her back to the hospital bed. She turned around and took two steps before she called her mom."
I didn't expect that my mother would remember the whole thing so clearly. I had already forgotten this matter. I took a deep breath and was about to lift my steps and walk towards the two of them when I heard Xia Haoyu ask:
"The fever doesn't go away, and it lasted for a whole week. It stands to reason that there is indeed something wrong. Now it seems that this place is... not quite..."
I watched Xia Haoyu point to his head and gesture to my mother. Of course I didn’t understand what he meant, but I heard my mother say: “If Duoduo hadn’t gone to school early, with her brainpower, she would indeed have to work harder than the average person.
Haoyu, I’m not trying to hide it from you. In fact, Duoduo is just a little bit better than the average person...most of the time, she is still very well-behaved."
My pupils dilated rapidly, and the shock in my heart made my hands tremble. I was surprised to recall what my mother just said, but I couldn't recall it clearly for a long time.
So, is this the reason why I went to junior high school for five years and high school for four years? What do you mean? My brain is not normal? This is ridiculous!
"Haoyu, I..."
"Mom, I understand what you mean..." Xia Haoyu handed the paper on the table to his mother and said, "I think Duoduo is pretty good now. In fact, she is smarter than anyone else, and this happened after so long.
There’s no need to mention it again, it won’t have any impact on our marriage. Since Duoduo doesn’t know, then we should never let her know, right?”
Since Duoduo doesn’t know, why not let her know about it? So what? You want to hide it from me like a fool?
No, I should say, I am just a fool who is different from normal people, has some brain problems.
"Haoyu, I've thought about this matter over and over again, and I still think I should tell you, if..."
"Mom, I have expressed my attitude just now. This matter has been decided. Tomorrow I will take Duoduo to choose a wedding dress and get the certificate after the Lantern Festival. I will let Wenhao explain these things to you carefully.
, take a look and see if there is anything you did poorly, I will correct it immediately."
"Haoyu, you are such a good boy. Duoduo, please take care of you..."
…
Half an hour later, the phone in my pocket rang. I wiped away the tears on my face and tried to restrain my thoughts after learning the truth, but words like "idiot" and "idiot" kept popping up in my mind, and I was immediately overwhelmed.
My heart was filled with panic.
The moment Xia Haoyu entered the door, I adjusted my mentality, raised my head and looked at him, and asked: "Is mom resting? I'll go take a look."
Xia Haoyu closed the door, stopped me, and said with a smile: "Our mother has worked hard all her life, and we must honor her from now on. She said she was a little tired, so let her rest early."
"Didn't mom tell you anything else?" I looked at Xia Haoyu and asked directly.
Xia Haoyu shrugged, picked up the cup on the table, looked at me with a smile, and said, "As I said, I asked when we were going to take our wedding photos. He gave me the household registration book and asked us to arrange a time to get the certificate."
"Have you given me your household registration book?" I looked at Xia Haoyu in surprise, not expecting that my mother would be so direct.
"What's wrong? Are you surprised?" Xia Haoyu walked up to me, hugged me tightly, and said, "This is all a matter of time, be good, I will handle it well, but you need to rest early.
We will choose a wedding dress at noon tomorrow. I will ask several designers to bring their works. You and our mother will choose together. After the Lantern Festival, it is time to prepare for the wedding."
I raised my head and looked at Xia Haoyu. There was nothing wrong with him at all, but he didn't know that I knew everything he promised to his mother.
I also understand that their concealment is for my own good. In the past, I would definitely have confessed, but it is different now. I know clearly that they are doing this for me, so I feel there is no need to reveal anything. Their starting point is,
They all love me.
"Brother Yu, Su Moqian is coming over for dinner tomorrow, do you remember?"
"Remember," Xia Haoyu patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Tomorrow night I will cook in person, and you will be responsible for serving the dishes for me. How about that?"
Tonight is full of moonlight, and tomorrow is the Lantern Festival.
I didn't sleep well that night. When I woke up, I looked at the man lying next to me. Xia Haoyu had his eyes closed, his face was calm, and he was sleeping soundly. My fingers gently touched his face for only a few seconds.
, he opened his eyes, looked at me and said, "Why did you wake up so early?"
"Brother Yu, I want to go to the hospital to see Wei Liang. If possible, I hope she can come here tonight." Being alone in the hospital, the festive atmosphere will accentuate her loneliness.
Xia Haoyu stroked my hair, closed his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll do as you said."
When we arrived at the hospital, Xia Haoyu and I hurried towards the ward, but when we opened the door, there was no one in the ward!
Where did Wei Liang go? Is something going to happen?
