It was hard to comfort Feichen and stop crying, but his little hand kept holding her hand tightly, as if he was worried that she would fly away at any time.
"Mom." Tangxin moved over from the living room and pointed at her red eyes with her little finger, "Mom, your eyes are like a rabbit, and so are my brother's eyes."
Luo Xi forced a smile and said, "Mom and brother are pretending to be rabbits. Do you want to bring some candy cores with us?"
"Okay, okay."
The little guy put his two little hands on top of his head and waved them, and asked with a smile: "Mom, do they look like bunny ears to you?"
"Like." Tangxin was still young and couldn't understand that her dear mother was about to leave her. Her clear eyes were filled with the innocence of a child.
Luo Xi looked at the carefree look of the little guy, and her heart felt like a knife. This was too cruel for her, and it was also cruel for Luo Xi. Lingchi left her beloved man and her beloved child.
The feeling could no longer be described in words, but she had to be strong to bear it, because he was still on the verge of life and death, and only she could save him. No matter how painful and tiring it was, she had to grit her teeth and hold on.
"Mom." Feichen pulled Luo Xi's hand and raised his dark eyes.
"Xiao Chen, be good, go play with your sister, and mommy will bake you a cake."
Feichen shook his head and refused to let go of her hand. Luo Xi could only persuade him softly, "Mom won't leave now."
He shook his head stubbornly.
"Then you and your sister can help on the side, okay?"
He thought for a while and then agreed.
The candy core should not be eaten with anything too sweet, and Lu Sheng did not allow her to eat take-out desserts, saying it was to protect her teeth. In order to satisfy the little one's pursuit of sweets, Luo Xi baked cakes by herself, using xylitol instead of ordinary
Granulated sugar is nutritious and hygienic, and will not damage your little one’s teeth.
Luo Xi wore an apron and was sifting flour, and two little ones gathered around the cooking table to beat eggs. The sugar cores always beat the egg shells and egg yolks together. Fei Chen patiently taught her.
The children were enjoying themselves, but Luo Xi was not happy at all. He got distracted several times and sifted the flour out, leaving it everywhere.
When the hot and fragrant cakes finally came out of the oven, she cut them into small pieces with a knife and placed them on a plate.
The two little ones happily ate cake and watched TV, and she sat beside them, picking up the crumbs that fell on them from time to time.
Time flew by in the afternoon, and a guest arrived.
"It's grandpa and grandma." Tangxin's sharp eyes immediately saw Qin Pei and Mother Lu outside the large glass door.
She ran over at a trot, Feichen chased her behind, "Sister, run slower."
It was Luo Xi who asked Qin Pei to pick up Mother Lu yesterday. Aunt Zhang went back to her son's house during the Chinese New Year. When she left, there was no one to take care of the child. She had no choice but to ask Mother Lu to take action, and Qin
With Pei's help, she can leave with peace of mind.
Mother Lu did not expect to be reunited with her grandchildren so soon. The intimacy and enthusiasm of the two children made her smile from ear to ear. She led one into the living room with one hand. Qin Pei sent her luggage to the second floor. Luo Xi
Pour hot water for her.
"Roxi, where is Asheng?"
"He...he hasn't come back from the army yet. I heard that he has an urgent mission. Mom, don't call him. When he is on mission, the phone is usually unreachable. If you have anything, please ask the master for help.
"
I can't tell Mother Lu about Lu Sheng's condition yet, because I'm afraid that if the old man gets angry and falls ill, the family will be in chaos.
Mother Lu is a sensible person. After hearing what Luo Xi said, she hurriedly agreed, "I know, I won't call him. As a soldier, national affairs are the most important."
Luo Xi handed a bank card to Mother Lu, "Mom, this money is for your daily allowance. The expenses of the two children are very large."
"No, no, I'll ask you for it if I don't have any money." Mother Lu declined hastily.
Luo Xi said: "I have to go on a long trip for work reasons. I won't be back for ten or eight days, so just accept it."
"Then you should pay attention to safety when you go out alone." Mother Lu warned worriedly.
"I know, thank you, Mom." Luo Xi put the card in her hand and said the password.
"When are you leaving?"
"Leave in a minute."
"I'm going to make some dumplings for you. Everyone who travels away from home will eat dumplings for good luck."
Luo Xi was about to refuse, but seeing Mother Lu's enthusiasm, she held back the tears in her eyes and happily said, "I'll help you."
After a lively meal of dumplings, Lu’s mother played with her two children. When they weren’t paying attention, Luo Xi hurriedly took her luggage and went out. Qin Pei followed, “Xi Xi, are you really going on a business trip?”
"yes."
Qin Pei sighed, "I know you are not going on a business trip. Since it is your own decision, I will not stop you. You can go about your business without worries. I will take care of the children."
He patted Luo Xi on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, be careful outside."
Luo Xi's eyes were red, and she choked up while holding Qin Pei. To her, Qin Pei was her father and her relative, and she was also reluctant to leave him.
"Good boy, stop crying and leave quickly. The two little ones will see you soon and won't let you go."
Luo Xi looked into the living room and saw Tangxin nestled in Mother Lu's arms, talking naughtily to Feichen. Her sweet laughter seemed to be heard even from such a distance.
She forced herself to look away and waved to Qin Pei, "Master, goodbye."
This goodbye contained too much, because she knew it meant "never again".
Luo Xi arrived at the airport and was waiting in the waiting room. The brown glass door was suddenly pushed open, and Xia Yue suddenly appeared with a cold air. She found Luo Xi's position and walked over in three steps.
"Xixi, do you really want to go to Japan? Do you have to go?"
Luo Xi only told Xia Yue about this matter.
Luo Xi hugged her best friend in this life, "I have to go, so you have to take good care of yourself. You are still welcome to my nest, and you will be its owner from now on."
"I can't bear to leave you, Xixi." Xia Yue cried, "Can I call you?"
"I don't know." She didn't have the slightest plan in mind for the future, she just went with the flow.
Xia Yue hugged her tighter, "If you can, you must contact me. As we said, we will always be good sisters."
The two of them used to go clubbing. When they drank too much, they would hug each other, dance and laugh, shouting, "We will always be good sisters and we will never be separated in our lives."
However, things in the world are unpredictable, and peace in the world lasts forever, but it is just a matter of seeking temporary stability.
A sweet and melodious announcement sounded in the empty hall, and the last flight to Japan was about to take off. Xia Yue couldn't bear to let go of her hands, crying and giving her countless instructions.
"Xixi, are you really not going to see Lu Sheng?"
Luo Xi shook her head, "I'm afraid that when I see him, I won't be able to leave. The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain, right? Okay." She smiled and patted her friend's crying face, "Goodbye."
Luo Xi walked into the boarding gate with her backpack. From a distance, she could still see Xia Yue standing there waving to her. She took a deep breath, turned around decisively, and said goodbye to everything she loved.
