Jane Mo went to pick up the plane, the exit of the people to see Zhong Yu that moment, her eyes flashed and passed the consternation, there are a few points to escape. Just in the lemon rushed over to the moment, quickly covered up the past.
“Mom–” Lemon hugged her neck tightly, “I miss you so much.”
Jane Mo held her small body, measured her, the little girl has gained weight, she could not help but kiss Lemon’s face.
Lemon’s head straight to her face, “mom–” she mumbled. Zhong Yu pushed the luggage over, the two briefly exchanged glances, no one said anything.
Ning’s father and mother had already followed.
The driver came over to take the luggage, and the two Ning family members had already gotten into the car. Zhong Yu looked, turned back and hooked the corner of his mouth, “I booked a hotel, something to give me a call.”
“Dad, you do not live with me and mom?” Lemon pulled on his arm.
Jian Mo nodded faintly, “See you then.”
Zhong Yu looked at her slightly thin face, his heart couldn’t help but astringe, “I’ll leave first.” He curved the corners of his mouth towards Lemon, “Baby, remember to give daddy a call.”
“Daddy-” Lemon shouted at him. Zhong Yu carried his luggage and continued to look ahead.
“Mommy, let daddy go back with us, okay? Isn’t there plenty of room at home?”
Jane Mo carried Lemon to the car, she didn’t say anything. Lemon was a bit upset and got into the car without saying anything. Mrs. Ning hadn’t been in a very good mood since she knew that Ning Qingyuan had gotten sick. She looked at Lemon, and then at Jian Mo, a touch of deepness welling up in the bottom of her eyes.
Thinking back to that night, when Zhong Yu came over to her, if there hadn’t been those things in the past, she would have liked Zhong Yu as a person, no matter in which way, there was no doubt that he was excellent.
Zhong Yu’s words did make her change her mind about him a bit.
“Auntie, I know I’ve hurt Xiao Mo’s heart. This time, when I went to the US with you guys, I wasn’t worried about XiaoMo and Ning QingYuan being together. I’m just checking to see if she’s doing well. If she feels good, I won’t bother them anymore.”
She knew that by saying these words, Zhong Yu’s heart wouldn’t feel good, his persistence wasn’t giving up, it was just changing to another form.
Back home, Ning Qingyuan sat in the living room. The Ning family’s decor had changed a lot, and a lot of the furniture had been replaced for Ning Qingyuan’s convenience.
Ning’s father looked at his son, his eyes were a little moist, but he still asked in a flat voice, “How is your body recovering?”
“Not bad, it’s all used to it now.”
There was a short silence.
“Where’s Lemon?” Ning Qingyuan stretched out his hand. Lemon looked at his eyes and carefully walked over, “john, I’m here.” The small hand held his hand. Ning Qingyuan held her fleshy palm delicately, “Fatter.”
Lemon gave an enunciation, “Grandma Zhong cooks delicious food for me every day.” No one had taught her, but she had made a clear distinction between people, calling Yang Qiong “Grandma Zhong” in the Ning family, and calling Jane Ru “Grandma Ning” in the Zhong family.
She looked at Ning Qingyuan’s eyes and couldn’t help but raise one of her hands and wave it in front of him, “john, are you really blind?”
Ning Qingyuan hugged her and sat her on his lap, “Yes, what should I do? Lemon, john won’t be able to see from now on?”
Lemon furrowed her brows, she suddenly found it hard to blame, after a long while, her small hands cupped Ning Qingyuan’s face, “It’s okay, I’ll be your eyes from now on, I’ll tell you.”
Ning Qingyuan pinched her nose, “That’s really great.”
At night, the stars dazzled. Zhong Yu’s jet lag didn’t reverse back, he quietly sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the 42nd floor, looking out from afar and, inexplicably, his heart was a little hollow.
When the cell phone rang, he stared blankly for a few seconds, got up and picked it up, and when he looked at that long string of numbers on such a screen, he couldn’t tell what he was feeling at that moment.
“Yeah, Ning Qingyuan.” After picking up the phone, his slightly low voice came through.
Zhong Yu swallowed his throat.
“I’m in the hotel lobby.”
“Good.”
Still a short and concise conversation.
Zhong Yu quickly changed his clothes and went to the lobby, and when his gaze turned, he saw a person sitting on the sofa in the corner, facing him. He took a step and walked over.
A few steps away, he saw him clearly, and he was just sitting there in silence, his gaze fixed, his dark eyes just devoid of luster. Zhong Yu’s feet lurched, his heart sank, and after a moment of hesitation, he lifted his steps and stepped over.
Ning Qingyuan felt some changes in the airflow in front of him, and he raised his head slightly, “Bureau Zhong, please take a seat.”
Zhong Yu gently took his seat, and heard Ning Qingyuan open his mouth, “Director Zhong, forgive me for taking the liberty of opening the door, I’m looking for you tonight in the hope that you can take Xiao Mo back.”
Zhong Yu’s hands tightened, looking at him thoughtfully.
“I’m sure you know my current situation.” Ning Qingyuan narrowed his eyes, “If it was before even if XiaoMo didn’t love me, I would still be willing for her to stay by my side.”
Zhong Yu’s face went cold for an instant, “What you mean by that is that you want to give her up to me?” His temples jumped.
Ning Qingyuan clasped his hands together, “She’s accompanying me with more affection now.” But he couldn’t trap her for the rest of her life, “Zhong Yu take her back, Lemon needs a complete home.” Saying this he pushed the yellow cow belt in front of him, “Zhong Shanyu, nice name.”
Zhong Yu for a while speechless staring at the person in front of him, after a long time before saying, “Her nature you are not unaware of, for the sake of that matter of me at the beginning, even if she has me in her heart ……”
Ning Qingyuan raised his eyebrows, “Yes, she is sometimes quite careful.”
After saying that the two were silent for a moment, not a moment, each shook his head.
The two people chatting had a feeling of sympathy. Time passed quietly, and it was only when Jian Mo appeared that their conversation was broken.
Jian Mo was ultimately uneasy about Ning Qingyuan traveling alone, especially after such a long time.
She didn’t know that he had come out to see Zhong Yu, she saw the two of them talking to each other from afar, and after a moment’s loss of concentration, both of their mouths were covered with a relieved smile.
She slowly approached, Zhong Yu saw her figure first, he sidled his head and fell silent. The atmosphere was dull for a moment. Ning Qingyuan raised his eyebrows, “Xiao Mo-”
Jian Mo answered softly, “It’s late.”
Ning Qingyuan was slightly silent for a moment, slowly getting up as Jian Mo handed him his blind cane. “We’ll talk again sometime.” He said to Zhong Yu.
Zhong Yu nodded.
The night was deep, but the people didn’t quiet down. The two walked with slow steps. The evening breeze lifted the corners of their clothes and poured into their bodies imparting a piercing coldness.
“Xiao Mo, go back with Zhong Yu.” His voice came slowly from the right.
Jian Mo turned her face, the light around her was not very bright, but for the first time, she was able to see every expression on his face so clearly, “Qing Yuan, this is what you came to see him for.” She stated calmly.
Ning Qingyuan gripped his blind cane so tightly that his bones stood out, he scratched the corners of his mouth, “Silly girl, don’t let me be a burden to you. You don’t owe me anything, Auntie is my stepmother, it was only reasonable for me to help you at that time, you – are my sister.”
The wind blew into the corners of his eyes, and his eyes welled up with astringent acidity, “Then it’s only reasonable that I stay by your side now, we’re family.”
Ning Qingyuan’s expression froze slightly.
Jian Mo looked at him, those eyes seemed to have something building up in them, “If you’re like this for the rest of your life, I’ll stay with you for the rest of my life.” The cold wind whistled past, her words slowly but firmly drifting with the wind, but deeply holding Ning Qingyuan’s already despondent heart.
A lifetime of companionship.
