Chapter 4
“My dad’s here!” Yun Qi exclaimed, pouncing out quickly, tiptoeing on his little feet and running over to open the door in a single bound.
As soon as the door opened, the air convection, the cardboard blocking the broken window lifted fiercely, lifting Situ Xu Xu completely fell to sit on the ground.
The cardboard fell down to cover her back, full of water, wet and heavy, like a sledgehammer across the back of the heavy knock on the heart. Looking toward the door suddenly appeared late at night, Situ Xu Xu opened his mouth when the voice actually still calm and composed: “How did you come?”
Xu Cheng Snap answered the phone in a hurry, the elevator could not wait, a breath of air up to the third floor, and then climbed five flights of stairs up, standing in the doorway looking at her, his chest is still in a slight sharp rise and fall, that gaze deep, deep.
The person who was destined to appear, how could he not come?
Seo Seung Snap picked up his son sharply with one hand and held him under his arm, kicked the door shut with his back foot, and walked over to her in large strides.
The closer he walked, the small lamp in the living room illuminated his features and eyebrows, so familiar. Situ Xu Xu sat in a mess on the wet floor of broken glass slag, tilted her head to look at the taller and taller him, only to feel that obviously his shadow blocked the light more and more, but she still felt that the light is harsh and incomparable, raised her hand to cover her eyes, she finally could not help herself and cried out in pain.
Xu Cheng Snapdragon put the mother and two with a large bath towel wrapped in the room, he went out for a round, removed a partition in the kitchen door, simple, rough and effective sealing the entire window. Then rummaging through the cabinets, he pulled out the first aid kit and carried Situ Xu Xu to the dresser, where he sat down, placing her feet on his lap and looking down to deal with her bleeding feet.
Her feet stepped in the rain for so long, the soles of her feet soaked white and wrinkled, wet and cold, Xu Cheng Snapdragon touched straight frowned, with both hands holding cover, Situ Xu Xu smacked her own feet dirty refused, was scolded by him: “Honestly!”. The sofa is smiling and drinking a lot of water.
On the sofa is smiling and drinking hot milk tea Yun Qi shrunk his neck. Situ Xu Xu stomped Xu Cheng Snapdragon, her strength is not small, he was sitting on the dressing stool and unstable, almost fell back, his hand is still supporting her feet, Xu Cheng Snapdragon looked up and helplessly blanked her.
Xu Cheng Snapdragon in the army for so many years, dealing with these simple traumas than the general hospital emergency room doctor more clean and efficient, meticulous cleaning and bandaging, but also tied a beautiful bow. She has a foot injury is not convenient to take a shower, Xu Chengchu wrung a hot towel, come over to reach out and undo her clothes, Situ Xu Xu pushed his hand refused, Xu Chengchu turned his head to the sofa, watching the two of them Situ Yunqi said: “Son, you turn your head over.”
Yunqi shrugged, his entire head shrinking into the blanket.
“Don’t you check the windows before you go to bed either? What’s wrong?” The soft jade was in front of his eyes, and the traces on the top that he left last night had not yet disappeared, so Xu Chengchu looked at it and was inevitably short of breath.
In order to divert his attention, he looked for words to talk to her.
Situ Xu Xu is also a little uncomfortable, took a hot towel to wipe herself, covered the shirt and said: “Last week Xin Chen they came to play at home, Xin Huan accidentally pushed the hanger down on the window, the glass cracked, the lock is also broken.” Xu Cheng Snapdragon frowned when she heard, she quickly explained, “I see that the glass cracked is not big, so I temporarily take the cloth to tie the lock securely, and originally made an appointment with the property management to come and repair it tomorrow! I didn’t realize there would be a typhoon ……”
“Situ,” he put his hand on her knee, raised his eyes to look at hers, suddenly said, “early last year I typed a report to apply for a transfer, approved a few months ago, this time I came back, I will not go again.”
“What do you mean by that?” She asked with a slightly unsteady voice.
Xu Chengchu unlocked her unconsciously tightly clenched collar fingers, drew a side of clean pajamas for her to change into, the action is gentle and firm, whispered to her, “Let’s remarry.”
Situ Xu Xu looked at him silently, he did not avoid, frankly let her look into the bottom of his eyes.
From the time they divorced until now, there are more than five years, right? It was the first time he said remarriage to her.
This earnest, serious, simple words.
These years never broke the entanglement, it’s not that Situ Xu Xu hadn’t thought about remarrying, but in her understanding of Xu Chengchu, her understanding of herself, she still thought that she couldn’t wait for anyone to bow down and open their mouth first in this life.
“Yunqi is growing up day by day, we are no longer young, stop fooling around.” Buttoning up the last button, Xu Cheng Snap’s fond hand rested on her shoulder, his fingers caressing the back of her curvaceous and moving neck, rubbing it delicately. Seeing as if she couldn’t accept such warm and soft words from him for a moment, only looking at him in a daze, he couldn’t help but lower his head to kiss her.
In the quiet moment when time seemed to freeze, Situ Yunqi suddenly emerged from the blanket with her little head, “Are you guys done? I just can’t hold my breath anymore!”
At once Situ Xu Xu returned as if waking up from a dream, pushing his head away and twisting her face to the side. Seo Seung Snap sucked in his breath and turned back to glare at his son very fiercely.
Yunqi’s hair was a little damp from the rain, and Seo Seung Snap was going to take a shower himself anyway, so he stripped him naked and left him at his feet to run the hot water. Yun Qi squatted there to play, picking at his dad’s toenails and placing his little feet on his dad’s feet to step on and play with them as Xu Cheng Snapdragon washed himself and picked him up to rub in the body wash.
Yun Qi was covered in white bubbles and looked like some kind of tasty little food, favoring a serious expression with his face raised, asking his dad, “Do you have the confidence to marry mommy? If mom doesn’t agree to marry you, do you have any plans?”
“Abduct you and lock you up. Your mom will have to agree to remarry me even to see you.” Seo Seung Snap flushed him with water, the bubbles on his head
Foam rushed down, rushing into his mouth that was wide open due to surprise, the little guy only woke up as if from a dream, spitting out water with a “blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah”
“Dad!” Situ Yunqi called out with great dissatisfaction.
Xu Cheng Snapdragon heatedly laughed, once in a while, he found it fun to fix this teenage son.
Carry out when Xu Cheng Snapdragon wrapped his son in a bath towel, a small child has just taken a hot bath, like a chicken just out of the shell, white and pink. Xu Cheng Snapdragon gave him a blow dryer, the little guy has been muttering do not know what to say, not a moment in the father’s gentle hands and hair dryer in the hot air can not support, head little by little like a chicken pecking rice, Xu Cheng Snapdragon stopped the hair dryer when he opened his eyes sleepy pleading: “I do not want to be a flower girl … … …and even less for wedding photos. ……”
Xu Cheng Snapdragon froze before he realized what he was talking about, smiled too much, rubbed his black, soft hair and said, “What do you need to worry about! You give me more to eat, grow up fast, early to stand on your own, leave your mom to me to live in the world of two!”
“Then you swear not to marry me off to Uncle Yan Jun’s family!” Children are always the most vulnerable before they go to sleep, and teenagers as young and old as Situ Yunqi are no exception, finally voicing the biggest hidden worry that has always been in the back of his mind. And then got his father’s solemn nod of approval, he was assured that the crooked head passed out.
Xu Cheng Snapdragon holding only kindergarten on the son already worry about life-long matters, the more you think about the more funny, quietly sitting there grinning silent laughter for a long time, before carrying him back to the Situ Xu Xu room.
He lay in the center, right hand son, left hand wife.
Yun Qi closed his eyes and rolled over, leaning against his father to sleep more soundly, tossing and turning for most of the night, the little child was even a small snore, really cute. Xu Chengchu kissed him on the face, the person behind him suddenly moved, he rolled over and asked her in a low voice what was wrong: “Is it a pain in the feet?”
Situ Xu Xu turned her back to him, half of her face was smothered in the pillow, and her voice was muffled: “No, it does not hurt …… at all.”
He had no voice. In the middle of the morning, she was going to fall asleep, a hand fumbled over and held her.
Situ Xu Xu let him hold herself into his arms.
“Why are you here?” She asked again.
“I came in the afternoon and sat downstairs in the car …… I came up as soon as Yunqi called me.”
“…… You’re downstairs to monitor whether I went on a blind date, right?” The words were bad, but the tone was not at all questioning. Her voice is faint and low, actually like once with him love good time love pet pampering.
Xu Cheng Snapdragon’s heart can not say what it is like, is as desired, full of happiness, but also feel lost and found, hard-won, sour and intolerable. What’s more, the night is deep and lonely.
Tomorrow she will not turn her back on the account? The heart is complex for a moment, Xu Cheng Snapdragon put her into his arms more hug, close to her, smelled the familiar flavor of her body, really sighed.
Situ Xu Xu in his arms a slight tremor.
His hand gently stroked her back soothing: “Today is not scared?”
She did not say a word, half the time the soft arm from his waist wrapped up, also stroked on his back. This embracing posture is the most intimate, she asked softly: “Grandma hurt you did not?”
Xu Cheng Snapdragon shook his head, gently patting her in his hand, “…… In fact, I know you won’t go on a blind date.” He said in her ear, “…… Today is my bad, scared you both mother and son, it is my bad …… It is all my bad.”
His apology was like a lullaby, his embrace was so peaceful and warm, Situ Xu Xu felt that her eyelids were incredibly heavy, and under his gentle soothing patting and coaxing, she gradually fell asleep peacefully.
Outside the wind is still ringing, but she does not have to think about anything now: the window is broken, the floor is soaked with water, the glass slag can not be swept clean how to do? I don’t know if the property management will come tomorrow …… She was held by Xu Cheng Snap, the man she had already claimed to have given up on, holding her at the moment, making her so warm and peaceful. Beside them slept peacefully their son, smart and agile, inherited all the advantages of the two of them, was her greatest achievement and pride in this life.
At this moment Situ Xu Xu realized: she again proud and strong, a person will support this day again good, also never try not to come when he held his own that solid peace of mind.
The long-lost peace of good sleep.
This sleep is too heavy, Situ Xu Xu actually dreamed of eight years ago.
