Chapter 73

Yunqi, in the hands of Xu Chengchu, of course, do not dare to put on a bad face, but also not much initiative to cooperate, a very sad expression to his father, said: “Dad, I do not have an appetite, you do not feed me to eat okay?”

Xu Cheng Snap stroked his son’s head, and said “yes”, Yun Qi was immediately energized, and then he heard his father’s voice faintly: “Come on, take the spoon, eat by yourself.”

Situ Yunqi inhaled a breath and turned his head: half a bowl of rice mixed with steamed tender minced meat and egg custard, laying several kinds of vegetables on the top, and a piece of fish fillet, stacked tip of a small bowl in front of him.

His father put the spoon in his hand and looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

Yun Qi glanced at Seo Seung Snap, then at him, and helplessly picked up the spoon, bitterly taking a bite, and then another.

“Eat slowly, chewing more is better for digestion,” Xu Chengchu admonished in a low voice, and asked him again, “Why do you always refuse to eat properly? You’re so old, and you still need your mom to feed you!”

Situ Yunqi was unhappy, frowning and talking back, “Dad, you tell me to eat again and ask me questions, am I eating or answering your questions?”

Xu Cheng Snapdragon is still the first time to learn the little guy’s temper, do not feel disobedient, but feel interesting, but the expression did not show a bit, sank his gaze at him. Yun Qi words out of his heart regret, took the initiative to eat a bite of vegetables, raised his eyes to quietly look at his father. In the end is a small child, primrose master that look makes him completely unable to carry, shrink his neck, soften: “I do not like to eat ……”

The little princess of the Yan Jun family had been hanging around for a long time, when she heard Yun Qi’s words and was overjoyed, she climbed onto the stool sharply, took Yun Qi’s spoon and dug a big mouthful of rice, and Yan Jun came over to hug her away in a hurry – the little foodie had already eaten two bowls of so much rice in the evening.

Situ Yunqi glanced at his best friend’s expression as she was held in her father’s hands and still enjoying herself – it was a slap in the face of what he had just said!

Sighing, he explained, “Not every little kid is so interested in food ……”

Seo Seung Snap couldn’t help but let a small smile appear on his face.

“Then what are you interested in?” He felt that this kid was really getting more and more interesting the older he got, “Tell me, what are you, a little kid, interested in besides liking to read books?”

“En…… I want to go to many places,” Yun Qi thought seriously and said, “Egyptian pyramids, Babylonian Sky Garden, Alexandria Lighthouse, Rhodes Harbor Giant Statue … …” counting with his fingers, a pair of dark eyes released a bright light of infinite curiosity about this great world, “I want to go and see, are these places the same as what is written in the books?”

The child’s voice is tender, but his expression is very serious, in the age of children of the same age full of toys and cartoons, already have such a mind, Xu Cheng Snapdragon heart was overwhelmed with emotion, touching his son’s head, warmly said to him: “You said these places, I have only been to a few of them, so: when you are a little older, can take care of themselves, so that you do not let your mother worry about this small matter for you to eat, we will work together! worry about such small things, we’ll go together.”

The little face, which had inherited the best parts of his and Stuart’s looks, brightened up at once, and the pretty eyes stared daggers at him, “Really?” He blurted out, but his cute thinking little brain thought for a second: his dad never lied, and he would definitely do what he promised! Yun Qi immediately got energized, “Then I’ll eat properly!” Digging a spoonful into his mouth, he chewed hard and turned back to promise loudly and with great vigor, “I’ll eat well every day from now on!”

Xu Cheng Snap thought that this kid was really surprisingly smart and clear-minded, really unlike a small child of this age, “Yun Qi,” he touched the little guy who was pulling himself together and trying hard to stuff his food, and said in a low voice, “You’re such a good boy… …”

If he hadn’t been born so well-behaved, he didn’t know how much more he would owe Situ.

Yun Qi smiled, looking to his dad and then behind him, “Mom ……” he called out vaguely, Xu Cheng Snap turned his head to see Situ was walking over, and when he walked over to sit down next to him, he naturally reached out his hand to give her a hand up, asking: “Tired? I’ll send you guys back after Yunqi finishes eating.”

Situ looked up at him, her gaze shifted to her son who was struggling to eat, drew a paper napkin to wipe the sauce from the corner of his mouth, and let out a “hmm”.

Xu Chengchu looked behind her and said in a normal tone, “Meng Qingcheng seems to be leaving, looking at you.”

Situ Xu turned to look, and sure enough, Meng Qingcheng was standing in the doorway, already holding his jacket in his hand, and was looking in her direction from afar. She somehow, subconsciously turned back to look at Xu Chengchu.

Xu Chengchu was feeding water to Yun Qi, and when he raised his eyes and their gazes collided, he hooked the corner of his mouth, “What’s wrong? He’s leaving aren’t you going to say hello?”

Situ Xu Xu actually smiled at him, a slight smile like the first bloom of a flower bone after the rain, Xu Cheng Snap didn’t know what she meant by this, he was just dazzled by her smile and unconsciously moved the knot in his throat, but then he heard her say, “He never greeted me either, he came when he wanted to come and let him go when he wants to go now.”

The wit in these words, Xu Cheng Snap raised an eyebrow when he heard it, but Yun Qi just happened to have finished eating, excitedly looking at him with both eyes shining, he couldn’t afford to be perfunctory, picked up his son and kissed him, complimented him, and turned his head to Situ, “Let’s go, we’ll talk about it when we get back.”

When their family of three walked to the door, Meng Qingcheng had already disappeared, Xu Chengchu asked the driver that Yan Jun had arranged for him, and the driver said that Mr. Meng had just left, and that the car was arranged to be sent directly to the airport.

Xu Chengchu glanced at Situ, who was coaxing the drowsy Yun Qi and didn’t react much.

This is very close to the small apartment, the car quickly arrived, Yunqi ate and drank enough already halfway to sleep, Xu Chengchu picked him up when the little guy opened his eyes, see is the father holding their own, peace of mind and contentment called out “Dad”, crouched on his shoulder and fell asleep. Situ Xu Xu originally wanted to remind him to drink, not as good as the child to her to hold, but this scene let her swallowed the words.

When he arrived home Xu Cheng Snap settled the little one and came out of his room, she was coming out of the kitchen with milk and honey water in her hand, he reached out to receive the honey water and took a big gulp of the warm sweet water like he did long ago when he came back from his occasional drink, instantly his stomach felt much more comfortable and the discomfort of the thin drunkenness eased a lot.

He sat down in the couch and exhaled comfortably.

Situ sat down opposite him, waited for him for a while to see that he didn’t say anything, she said, “The driver is still waiting for you downstairs, go back to rest early.”

“Uh-huh.” The person who tilted his head back and pretended to sleep opened his eyes, “I’ll leave after having a few words with you.”

“Is it about Meng Qingcheng?”

“Well …… when did you know? His mind.” Xu Chengchu asked calmly, not in an accusatory manner, not even in a tone that was unkind, as if he was discussing a friend that had nothing to do with the two of them.

“This thing, the mind, is tucked away in his own heart, there is no need for me to guess, and he hasn’t said anything about it. What about you? Is it because of his mind that you put an end to his business, that you drove him to the point where he could no longer stay in the city?” The night is very quiet, the hands of each a hot drink adds to the atmosphere of the night conversation, he calmly leaned back in the sofa, his expression is even a little relaxed, Situ Xu Xu has always rolled in the heart of the question, so naturally asked: “Or because he intentionally stayed in the same hospital as Sun Jingyu?”

Xu Chengchu was stunned, sat up, finally no longer that calm demeanor, some surprised to look at her, “Who told you? Yan Jun – Xin Chen?”

Situ Xu Xu did not answer, meeting his gaze, asking rhetorically, “You don’t explain to me what’s going on here because you’re concerned about Meng Qingcheng or Sun Jingyu?”

“Both.” Xu Chengchu snapped back from his surprise and loosened his frown, “I don’t want to dwell on this matter, who led us to discover Jingyu’s condition, those things are facts. My attitude towards Meng Qingcheng is not to punish him for making me lose you, that’s not punishment …… that’s giving up.”

He wouldn’t punish Meng Qingcheng for not treating him as a brother, he would only simply give up on this person, even after nearly thirty years of friendship.

Xu Chengchu’s pride made it absolutely impossible for him to allow emotional ambiguity, it was like this with Sun Jingyu in the past, and now it’s the same with Meng Qingcheng, and if not for the anomaly that is Situ Xu Xu, he really dares to say that his feelings are absolutely murderous and decisive.

Giving up – these two words made Situ Xu Xu’s heart draw clear.

She held her cup of hot milk and was stunned for a moment before saying, “Oh.”

Seo Seung Snap had been waiting for her reaction, and waited until this “oh”, and laughed in anger: “What did you ‘oh’? What are you thinking?”

Situ Xu Xu pulled the corners of her mouth, said softly: “I was thinking: since it’s all true, do not blame Meng Qingcheng nor Sun Jingyu, then who in the end let you lose me?”

Not Meng Qingcheng, that full load of “cherish”, she did not give him the opportunity to say broken, he did not have the courage to say broken, will always be just a car car.

Nor is it Sun Jingyu, to this day Situ still does not like her, but there is no denying that Sun Jingyu is more of a victim than they are.

So who was it? Let him lose her, let them lose each other.

Xu Cheng Snap quietly looked at her, watching her lost in thought, the luster in her eyes gradually dimming, falling into deep thought.

He said softly after a while, “It’s me.”

It was damn me that caused myself to lose you dear.

There was a flash in Situ’s eyes, and he raised his head to look at him.

Silent night, after many years, the two can no longer be called young men and women, separated by a short distance, each other deeply looking at each other, separated by the year, separated by the time change, separated by a smart and early son and each other in these years of their respective growth.

Unconsciously these years, now Xu Chengchu finally willing to calmly say: It is my bad, lost you.

Situ Xu Xu couldn’t stare at him any longer and averted her gaze, holding back the tears that suddenly rose up under her eyes, and hurriedly looked away.

“Alright, I’m leaving.” He couldn’t bear to see her forcibly repressed, stood up and took the coat that was thrown in the sofa, “You rest early. How about we take Yunqi to the zoo tomorrow when he’s not in class?”

The two of them talked about their son’s things, and walked to the door, Situ’s emotions had calmed down a lot, reached out to open the door for him, a flash in front of her eyes, was lightly gripped by the wrist a tug, the whole person fell into his arms.

She subconsciously struggled for a moment, and was held even tighter by him.

“What you said about trying and finding someone better …… than me as you wished, did you find it?”

His voice was like a wine that had sunk for years, mellow and implacable force.

Situ Xu Xu finally could not help, tears fell like rain ……

“…… No …… Xu Cheng Snapdragon, I have not been able to find a person that is better than you.”

Tightly embraced her people stifled laughter, Situ clearly feel leaning against the chest slightly vibration, she hand a brace want to push away, but he quickly lowered his head, hot lips against her slightly cool ears, hot breath gently blowing in her ears, Situ’s entire body is numb.

Just heard his tone with a smile very pleasant to say, “That’s great!”
