ex boyfriend's wedding
Chapter 37 Meeting Again 19
I have a dream - "Meet Again"
--
The day Wen Lu went to Shenzhen was Saturday.
On Friday afternoon, Shen Zaitu came to pick up Mengmeng.
Mengmeng knew that she was going to Uncle Shen's house, watched her father packing her luggage in the room, and asked, "Dad, when are you coming back?"
Wen Lu took out the clothes from the closet and folded them, "I'll be back next Monday, Meng Meng, you go to Uncle Shen's house, remember to be obedient and not mischievous."
Holding the little bear in her hands, Mengmeng said with reluctance in her tone, "I see."
This is the first time the two have been separated for such a long time. Wen Lu got up, squatted on the ground, touched Mengmeng's face, his eyes were full of father's tenderness: "You don't have to be afraid, if you miss your father, let Uncle Shen come with you." I'll call, let's video, okay?"
"it is good."
"Good boy, Uncle Shen will come to pick you up later. I've already told him everything about your study time and class time. If you don't see Uncle Shen come to pick you up after school, you can wait for him at school. He may be working overtime, or there is a traffic jam on the road, I wrote his phone number in your small wallet, call him first if you encounter any problems, and remember not to go with strangers."
Mengmeng patted her chest and promised: "Don't worry, Dad, I will remember everything."
Wen Lu was made to laugh by Mengmeng, got up to get the wallet, took out the money from it, put it in Mengmeng's small wallet, and just after putting it in, someone knocked on the door outside.
No one came at this time except Shen Zaitu, Wen Lu asked Mengmeng to open the door: "It's your Uncle Shen who is here."
Mengmeng hugged the little bear, and ran to open the door, Shen Zaitu saw the little girl, stretched out his hand to pinch Mengmeng's face, bent down and hugged Mengmeng: "Hi, Mengmeng."
"Uncle Shen." Mengmeng wrapped her small arms around Shen Zaitu's neck, calling him sweetly.
Wen Lu had already packed the suitcase and stood up.
Shen Zaitu walked in and said: "Wen Lu, you haven't had dinner yet, go to eat together, and we'll clean up when we come back later." After Shen Zaitu finished speaking, before Wen Lu could answer, he asked Mengmeng: "What does Mengmeng like to eat? Let's eat together." Would you like to take Dad to dinner?"
When Mengmeng heard about the food, she barked her teeth and claws excitedly: "Okay, okay, I want to eat lobster, let's eat lobster, shall we?"
Shen Zaitu: "Okay, listen to you, let's go, let's go eat lobster."
Wen Lu watched as the two finalized the dinner with just one sentence, and he didn't even have room to interject, a little funny and a little helpless.
This time, Shen Zaitu managed to hold onto Wen Lu's seven inches, Mengmeng, he could tell that Wen Lu's heart for Mengmeng.
So he decided to start with Mengmeng, I am afraid the success rate will be much higher.
The three of them went out together and went to Xialaohui to eat shrimp, which were all seafood.
When we arrived at the place, it was just in time for eating. There were a lot of people, many of whom were parents bringing their children to eat.
When Wen Lu sat down, he couldn't help wondering whether he and Shen Zaitu brought Mengmeng here, would they be a happy family in the eyes of others.
"Wen Lu, what do you want to eat?" Shen Zaitu asked him while holding the menu, and after calling several times, Wen Lu finally came to his senses: "Ah, what?"
"Look, what do you want to eat? Order it yourself." Shen Zaitu smiled, handed him the menu, and said to Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, sit by Uncle Shen's side."
Mengmeng was stretching her neck to look at the delicacies on other tables, when she heard Shen Zaitu calling her, she went to sit with Shen Zaitu.
Wen Lu looked at Shen Zaitu holding Mengmeng, looked at him with big eyes and small eyes, and urged him to order food together, which made him feel unreal.
For a while, Wen Lu's chest felt warm, and finally ordered a few Mengmeng's favorite dishes, and handed the menu to the waiter.
This meal is just the most ordinary dinner.
The table was full of delicious food, but Wen Lu's eyes were never on the table.
He couldn't help but look towards the opposite side.
He thinks that they are related by blood after all, and the intimacy and tacit understanding in the bones are really something ordinary people can't learn.
After a meal, Mengmeng was almost entangled with Shen Zaitu, and she wanted to hug him wherever he went.
"Uncle Shen, hug me."
"Uncle Shen, carry me on your back."
"Uncle Shen, you are so warm."
On the contrary, Wen Lu felt that he had been neglected by his daughter, and even unconsciously became jealous.
At this level, he was really worried.
When I came back a week later, my daughter still didn't recognize him.
On the other hand, Shen Zaitu was very proud, he even winked at Wen Lu in the middle of the journey, his whole body was covered with "Am I a good father?", as if he wanted to show how much he was liked by children.
Maybe it was because the atmosphere was so good, Wen Lu pretended to be angry and gave him a hateful look.
Those big eyes are smart and lively, just like back then.
After returning home, Wen Lu put Mengmeng's homework, clothes, all kinds of things to use and wash in her schoolbag.
"I only packed three pieces of clothes with her. I'll give you the key. If it's not enough, you can take her home to get it. By the way, she sleeps at night and likes to sleep with a bear, otherwise she won't be able to sleep. At nine o'clock in the evening Zhong must let her sleep, otherwise, she won't be able to get up the next day..."
While cleaning up, Wen Lu explained a lot to his mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and many words were repeated. Shen Zaitu stood at the door and looked at him.
"I know it all."
Wen Lu paused, looked towards the living room, Mengmeng was playing with building blocks on the sofa, slowly moved to Shen Zaitu, and smiled softly: "Thank you."
The voice was very soft, but it cheered Shen Zaitu. In memory, this was the first time Wen Lu smiled at him like this: "It's okay, I'll let her make video calls with you every day."
Wen Lu lowered his head and said softly, "Thank you."
"Between you and me." Shen Zaitu looked at him affectionately, "There's no need to talk about that."
Wen Lu looked away, and said after a long time, "Don't say this in front of the child."
In the afternoon of the next day, Shen Zaitu drove to the downstairs of Wen Lu and took him to the airport.
Mengmeng is also in the car.
"Dad, be careful on the road, I will miss you." The little girl hugged Wen Lu, she had never left Wen Lu for half a step, this time Wen Lu was leaving, her eyes were wet.
Wen Lu teased her with a smile: "Oh, Dad is going to earn money, it's not that he won't come back, good boy, when he comes back, Dad will take you to buy nice clothes, okay?"
Mengmeng pouted and nodded: "I know, I will be obedient."
Shen Zaitu looked at the time, there was still half an hour left, he opened the car door, took out the suitcase, and handed it to Wen Lu: "Go."
Wen Lu took the box, touched Mengmeng's head, and then went in.
Shen Zaitu was driving home, Mengmeng's eyes were red from crying, and she leaned against the side of the car and remained silent.
"Mengmeng, have you never been separated from your father?" Shen was trying to find words to communicate with a seven-year-old girl while driving on the road.
Mengmeng nodded, her voice hoarse: "No."
Shen Zaitu glanced at her and comforted him: "Don't worry, Uncle Shen will call Dad at night, okay? Let's talk to him."
"it is good."
Shen Zaitu laughed, he felt that he and Mengmeng were quite compatible, he didn't like children very much before, they should be too noisy.
Like to cry, not easy to carry.
Kemengmeng is different, very sensible.
As expected, it was brought out by Wen Lu.
When thinking about this sentence, someone completely forgot who said that Mengmeng's personality followed her mother's.
On the way home, Shen Zaitu went to the supermarket and bought a lot of fruits and vegetables, but he seldom cooks.
But I can still cook home-cooked dishes.
It's definitely not good for a child to eat takeaway with him every day, and it's given to him by Wen Lu, Shen Zaitu thought, finally got the chance.
Mengmeng must grow white and fat within a week or so, and let Wen Lu come back to see his potential as a stepdad.
It's a pity that Shen Zaitu's heart is good.
When he looked at the mushy potatoes, he knew that he overestimated the kitchen, and at the same time overestimated his own cooking skills.
Mengmeng smelled a burning smell in the living room, ran in and saw Uncle Shen silently looking at the frying pan: "Uncle Shen, what did you do?"
Shen Zaitu took a deep breath and gave up: "Mengmeng, do you want stewed chicken with mushrooms or braised pork ribs?"
Mengmeng blinked: "Sparse ribs."
Shen Zaitu nodded: "Okay."
Ten minutes later, two bowls of steaming instant noodles were placed on the table.
Mengmeng pursed her lips and picked up her chopsticks.
Shen Zaitu was a little embarrassed: "Mengmeng, usually at home, what does Dad give you to eat?"
Mengmeng answered one by one: "There are pumpkin soup, glutinous rice ribs, and my favorite fish."
Shen Zaitu: "..."
Well, he doesn't know either.
In the evening, Shen Zaitu made a video call with Wen Lu.
As soon as Wen Lu returned to the hotel, he received a video call. When he picked it up, Mengmeng appeared on the screen: "Dad."
Wen Lu sat on the bed: "Mengmeng."
Shen Zaitu sat on the sofa, stopped Mengmeng with one hand and asked, "Haven't you rested yet?"
Wen Lu shook his head.
Shen Zaitu: "Little girl has been clamoring for me to video with you, I'm worried that you haven't finished your work yet."
"Dad." Mengmeng took the phone with both hands, and talked to Wen Lu alone. She looked aggrieved and anxious, and called "Dad" several times.
Wen Lu looked at Mengmeng's pouted little mouth, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, who bullied you?"
Holding up her mobile phone, Mengmeng said in frustration, "Father, when are you coming back?"
Wen Lu: "I'll be back today next week, be good."
Shen Zaitu watched the little girl occupying the phone, he didn't even have room to intervene, so he could only wait on the sidelines.
He stretched out his fingers to hook Mengmeng's hair in a boring way, curling it around his fingers round and round.
Wen Lu talked to Mengmeng for a long time, while Shen Zaitu waited on the sidelines, inserting a word from time to time, only to be squeezed out.
In the end, Wen Lu looked at the time and reminded: "Mengmeng, you have to go to dance lessons tomorrow, have you washed up, go to bed."
Hearing this sentence, Shen Zaitu quickly brought over his mobile phone: "Mengmeng, come, say goodbye to Dad."
Mengmeng faced the screen: "Goodbye, Dad."
"Mengmeng, goodbye."
Shen Zaitu finally found a chance to talk to Wen Lu: "Wen Lu, is it warm over there?"
In front of the child, Shen Zaitu wanted to say something nasty, but he couldn't say it, he could only ask some homely things.
"Ah."
"It's very warm in Shenzhen. Are you tired from work today?"
"·······fine."
Shen Zaitu obviously felt that the atmosphere was different from before. Wen Lu always spoke freely in front of Mengmeng, but when he came here, he just hesitated to speak.
The two sat on the sofa and talked for a while, and finally Shen Zaitu borrowed Mengmeng's light.
Let Wen Lu watch Mengmeng sleep on the other side, and finally returned to his room.
"Mengmeng is very obedient, she doesn't make noise or make noise." Shen Zaitu said.
Wen Lu nodded: "That's good, you go to bed early too, it's getting late."
Shen Zaitu still wanted to say something, but it seemed that he had finished what he said just now in front of the child, and all that was left was some deep affection.
"Go to bed early, good night." Gently, Wen Lu said.
Shen Zaitu held the phone, looked at the person opposite, and said for a while, "Good night."
The next day, Shen Zaitu took Mengmeng to school. Because of the potato accident on the first day yesterday, the two of them ate instant noodles, so he decided to take Mengmeng to eat outside.
Wait for him to study recipes for two days before cooking at home.
Apparently, Wen Lu walked for the second day, and Mengmeng followed Shen Zaitu to eat out for another day.
Waiting until Wednesday, our Mr. Shen finally passed hundreds of failures and made a barely watchable dish.
At that time, I took a picture proudly and sent it to my circle of friends.
After a while, a group of people liked and commented on it.
"Hey, old Shen, you're cooking for yourself, that's amazing "thumbs""
"Shen Zaitu, when did you have a daughter?"
"Mr. Shen, what a husband and father!"
"Successful man."
·······
There are many, Shen Zaitu looked at it and smiled, and there was someone who said that Mengmeng looked like him, directly saying that he gave birth to a daughter outside, Shen Zaitu couldn't help laughing, and glanced at Mengmeng.
looks like?
It's not like that at all!
Where can I see the faces of father and daughter!
But thinking about it, Shen Zaitu suddenly said: "Come on, Mengmeng, let's take a photo."
The little girl has a pair of round black eyes, a small pink mouth, and slightly curly hair, almost carved out of the same mold as Wen Lu.
He wanted Mengmeng to look a little like him, so that everyone could see them when he went out in the future. They were a family of three.
But after searching for a long time, he didn't find that Mengmeng resembled him at all.
The moment Wen Lu got off the plane, he shivered from the cold, and quickly took out thick clothes to put on.
Zhan Yanyan has three suitcases, one when she goes there, and three when she comes back. They are all filled with clothes and cosmetics. Wen Lu said that she seems to be shopping instead of on a business trip. Treating work as entertainment is the only way to be happy. Wen Lu can't say no to her, so he can only be her military adviser every day this week, asking "whether it looks good or not?" and other opinions.
The two walked out of the terminal.
Zhan Yanyan stood at the intersection and called her boyfriend, while asking Wen Lu: "Lu Lu, how are you going back? Do you want to take a taxi?"
Wen Lu smiled: "Someone is here to pick me up."
Zhan Yanyan said, his eyes lit up: "Oh? Who is who?"
I don't know if the little girl's world is always so gossip. Seeing Zhan Yanyan who is so gossip, Wen Lu was a little cautious for a while. He thought if he said that Mr. Shen came to pick him up, would Zhan Yanyan be scared? arrive.
Just thinking of this, the phone rang.
Wen Lu took out his phone and picked it up: "Hello."
A female voice came from the other side of the phone: "Dad, Dad."
Wen Lu: "Mengmeng, where have you been?"
"Father, Uncle Shen and I have to arrive later, there is traffic jam on the road, we are going out late."
Wen Lu: "It's okay, Dad is in no hurry."
Wen Lu waited for more than 20 minutes before Shen Zaitu arrived, and Zhan Yanyan had already been picked up by her boyfriend.
As soon as she got in the car, Mengmeng held Wen Lu in her arms, talking endlessly.
Shen Zaitu was listening, Wen Lu's smile, Mengmeng's smile, the happy atmosphere of the two filled the narrow car.
For a moment, he had a feeling that he and Wen Lu went back to the past, back to the time of the third year of high school.
On that day, Wen Lu rested at home for a day, and sent Mengmeng to Chaoyang Primary School early the next morning to take a dance class.
Taking advantage of free time, go to Shen Zaitu's house to get back Mengmeng's things.
"Actually, Mengmeng and I get along very well." When Wen Lu was packing Mengmeng's things at Shen Zaitu's house, Shen Zaitu kept trying to say something, "I'm fine, Mengmeng and I have a very good relationship, and we can continue to live here." " subtext.
Wen Lu can tell that he is very kind to Mengmeng. The extra giant pandas, brown bears, and the building blocks in the living room, the Rubik's Cube, all prove that Mr. Shen has been working hard this week. "Practical action" wins the relationship with Mengmeng.
Finally, Wen Lu took a deep breath, and said something ambiguous: "Mengmeng gets along very well with everyone."
Shen Zaitu opened his mouth to speak, as if he had prepared something to say to him.
But in the end, I stared at him for a while, but I didn't know what I was thinking.
There was some inexplicable emotion in his eyes, and finally, Shen Zaitu suddenly turned around and went out.
When he was the only one left in the room, Wen Lu's heart was completely relaxed, and he opened his hands, which were full of sweat.
He seemed to be able to guess what Shen Zaitu wanted to say just now, and he probably didn't know what he wanted to hear.
Wen Lu sat on the bed, he didn't know how long he could hold on like this.
If Shen Zaitu continues like this, will he ever compromise.
Will Mengmeng's identity be revealed one day?
and those...
Before Wen Lu could think more, the phone in his bag rang.
It was from the teacher at the school.
As soon as she picked it up, a female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, is this Wen Meng's family? Please come to the school now. Wen Meng suddenly has a stomachache. We have already contacted the hospital... ..."
When Wen Lu received this call, his whole body felt cold for a moment.
Shen Zaitu was sitting in the living room, and saw Wen Lu running out of the room with red eyes, holding up his mobile phone, like a lost person asking for help.
"What's the matter?" Shen Zaitu intuitively felt that something happened.
Wen Lu opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to speak out: "Mengmeng, the school is calling, the hospital..."
Shen Zaitu understood a few simple words.
The two rushed to the hospital, and Wen Lu saw Wen Meng's dance teacher from a distance.
"Mr. Han, hello. I'm Wen Meng's father. May I ask what's wrong with Wen Meng?" Wen Lu asked several questions in succession, but Teacher Han didn't know how to answer, when the doctor just came out.
"Excuse me, who is Wen Meng's family?"
Wen Lu hurried over and grabbed the doctor's arm: "Hello, I am, doctor, what's wrong with my daughter?"
"It's nothing serious. It's appendicitis. Just get some anti-inflammatory injections. After the inflammation subsides, the operation can be done later."
Wen Lu nodded repeatedly, Shen Zaitu took the medicine list from the doctor and said to Wen Lu, "Go to the ward to see Mengmeng, and I'll get the medicine."
"it is good."
Looking at his daughter lying on the hospital bed, Wen Lu wished to transfer all the pain in his body to himself.
There was a sudden heaviness on his shoulders, Wen Lu tilted his head, it was Shen Zaitu who came in, his brows were lowered, and he comforted him: "Don't worry, Mengmeng is fine."
Wen Lu nodded.
Mengmeng's appendicitis is acute, and the operation can only be performed after the inflammation is eliminated.
In those few days, Wen Lu went to the hospital after get off work, and he felt a whole lot thinner.
"In two days, Mengmeng will have surgery, and I may have to ask for leave."
The two of them came out of the hospital after watching Mengmeng, Wen Lu said.
Shen Zaitu nodded. In fact, Wen Lu didn't need to say, he would give him a vacation, and seeing Wen Lu running around in the past few days made him feel uncomfortable.
After a while, Shen Zaitu said unintentionally, "Why don't you move to my house, so that I can take care of you."
When Wen Lu returned to Lincheng from Shenzhen, Shen Zaitu was going to say this sentence.
It's all because Mengmeng is in the hospital during this time, and it's hard to speak up.
When Wen Lu heard these words, he was really taken aback.
"Don't worry, I won't take advantage of others, I just want to help you."
Shen Zaitu looked at him, and before Wen Lu could speak, he continued, "You don't need to answer me in a hurry, think about it first."
"I don't want you to have any psychological burden. Mengmeng is very close to me. I hope to take care of her, and of course you."
Wen Lu was silent.
Shen Zaitu's words were like a stone hitting Wen Lu's heart, causing waves to circle around.
Always can not be calm.
live together?Did he mean cohabitation?
Wen Lu lay on the bed, thinking about what Shen Zaitu said in the hospital during the day.
During this period of time, things happened one after another, and he didn't have time to think about his relationship with Shen Zaitu at all, so let's think about it now.
Only then did I realize that the two of them are also like friends... No, this relationship is even closer than friends.
If Shen Zaitu hadn't been in this period of time, would he have no choice but to resign and get up now?
Thinking back when Mengmeng had a small fever, he couldn't do without it, let alone now.
Thinking of Wen Lu's eyes getting hot, as if he had fallen into a dead end, a net wrapped him up, making him suffocate.
Slowly, he curled up on the bed wrapped in a quilt, which was an extremely insecure posture.
Can he still trust him now?
While falling asleep in a daze, Wen Lu was still thinking about this matter.
Wen Meng was discharged from the hospital after the operation, and was picked up by Shen Zaitu.
After Mengmeng got into the car, seeing that it was not the way home, she asked curiously, "Dad, are we going to Uncle Shen's house?"
Wen Lu took a look at Shen Zaitu and didn't know how to tell Mengmeng about it.
"Mengmeng, Uncle Shen took you home and prepared a lot of toys you like for you. How about staying at Uncle's house for a while? Your father is also here." Shen Zaitu may have seen his embarrassment, and gave it to him on the sidelines. He makes a clearance.
Mengmeng nodded: "Well, anyway, wherever Dad is, Mengmeng will be there."
Wen Lu patted his daughter's head, he was glad Mengmeng didn't ask too many questions.
Because if he continues to ask, he may doubt whether his decision is correct in his heart.
For Mengmeng, for him, and for Shen Zaitu.
Sometimes, that's it, the more you want to back down, life will always push you forward.
When Wen Lu watched Shen Zaitu dragging him and Mengmeng's suitcase into the room, he still felt like he was dreaming.
In fact, for so many years, he has always had a dream like a joke.
That's what he's doing right now.
"You sleep in this room, Mengmeng's room is next door, don't be restrained, treat it like your own home." Shen Zaitu took the remote control, went out of the room twice, came in again and stood where he was.
Wen Lu and Mengmeng stood aside, staring at him blankly, not knowing what he was going to do.
The three came to a novice village, except for Mengmeng, the two of them were at a loss, even embarrassed.
They didn't dare to look at each other, maybe they were hiding their emotions, or they had some unspeakable secrets that they didn't dare to let the other party find out.
"Well, I'll go to the supermarket to buy some things you need later." Mr. Shen has been thick-skinned for more than 20 years. At this moment, he felt that he was not as nervous as he was when he stood under the red flag and read the review in front of the whole school.
"Let's go together, Mengmeng and I will go shopping." Wen Lu whispered.
Shen Zaitu nodded: "Okay, okay, that Mengmeng stays at home obediently, waiting for us."
The two are walking in the supermarket.
Shen Zaitu took a bunch of things, and in the shopping cart, he glanced at Wen Lu next to him from time to time, as if he was afraid that he would lose his grip when he reached out.
Always staring at people, how could Wen Lu not know his gaze.
He could only pretend that he didn't see it, and walked on as if nothing had happened.
"Wen Lu, does this Meng Mengxi like to eat lychees?" Shen Zaitu walked to the fruit area and asked him with a stick of lychees in his hand.
Looking at someone's shopping ability, Wen Lu felt a little headache.
Each of them was pushing a shopping cart, which was already fully loaded. He really suspected that this person was not here to buy things, but to buy supermarkets.
"Buy less, the fruit will go bad after a long time."
Shen Zaitu heard it, thought about it, and finally let it go reluctantly.
Went to other districts again.
Wen Lu followed behind Shen Zaitu, looked at the tall and straight figure, and suddenly called softly: "Shen Zaitu."
The person in front paused and turned around: "Huh?"
Wen Lu blinked, "There's nothing to buy anymore, let's go back."
It was already past seven o'clock when we got home, and Wen Lu went into the house with him. After seeing the relatively unfamiliar environment, Wen Lu realized that they were living together from now on.
God really seemed to be joking with him, at night Mengmeng was still in bed and asked him if he would live in Uncle Shen's house from now on, Wen Lu didn't know how to answer, whether it was temporary or long-term, he didn't even dare to think Thinking about this, I was really afraid that I expected too much, and in the end it completely fell through.
After Mengmeng fell asleep, Wen Lu gently closed the door, turned around, and saw Shen Zaitu.
He asked, "Did Mengmeng fall asleep?"
Nodding slightly, Wen Lu pursed his lips and whispered, "Thank you."
He didn't know how many times he said thank you, as if he couldn't find other words to say besides this sentence.
"You don't need to tell me thank you." Shen Zaitu stared at him, Wen Lu turned back to the room, put his hand on the door handle, and finally turned around, "Good night."
Looking at the closed door, the corners of Shen Zaitu's mouth were slightly bent, and he mouthed: "Good night."
That night, Shen Zaitu lay on the bed and did not fall asleep.
In the next room, there is a person, a sweetheart.
It seemed that the place that had been empty for so many years was suddenly filled.
Early the next morning, Shen Zaitu woke up in a daze. He heard footsteps in the living room. He thought someone had entered the house. After reacting for a few seconds, he remembered that Wen Lu and Mengmeng moved in yesterday. He picked up his phone and watched Looking at the time, it's past eight o'clock.
There were several rings outside the door, and Mengmeng's voice came: "Uncle Shen, wake up, the sun is drying your butt."
Shen Zaitu hurriedly got out of bed, opened the door, and Mengmeng stood at his door with a small water glass in his hand: "Father asked me to call you for breakfast."
"En." Shen Zaitu passed the living room and walked into the kitchen.He usually seldom cooks by himself, and it was a completely neglected place, but now, he suddenly realized that it was different, and every morning in the future, he would see Wen Lu.
--
"Do you live together?" It was not easy for Ding Cheng to have time to get together on the weekend, but Ding Cheng did not expect to hear a big news just as he sat down. I couldn't react for a while.
Shen Zaitu had already guessed that he would react like this, and said indifferently: "Well, Mengmeng underwent surgery, and he can't take care of it alone."
"Heh." Ding Cheng took a sip of coffee to suppress his shock, and said with a smile, "You're pretty fast."
Shen Zaitu slightly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, but there was no trace of joy in his eyes.
"What's wrong with you, aren't you happy now that you're living together?" Ding Cheng asked.
"I don't know." Shen Zaitu shook his head, sighed, and said lightly, "I feel that Wen Lu is hiding a lot of things from me."
During this time, although the two were under the same roof, Wen Lu avoided him even more than before.
If it wasn't for the breakfast on the table every day and a few extra pairs of shoes in the shoe cabinet, he wouldn't even know that Wen Lu was at home.
Ding Cheng didn't know what to say: "...take your time."
Shen Zaitu nodded: "I think so too."
Ding Cheng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, Shen Zaitu saw: "Say what you want to say, don't hesitate."
Ding Cheng sneered, "You don't know what I want to say."
"If you persuade me, you don't need to say it."
"Hey, but you're wrong." Ding Cheng smiled, "I'm not trying to persuade you this time." Ding Cheng said seriously, "What I want to say is that if you want to start over, I just want to suggest something, what? Everything needs to be explained.”
Shen Zaitu understood the meaning of Ding Cheng's words.
He was talking about eight years ago.
Why doesn't he want to explain clearly, but when it comes to this issue, Shen Zaitu is relatively at a loss: "I know, it's..."
"What is it?"
Shen Zaitu rested his finger on the rim of the cup: "Wen Lu is very familiar with this question. I mentioned it twice, and his reaction was great."
Before, he wanted to let Jiang Lin check it out, but because there were too many things, he was shelved.
Shen Zaitu thought to himself whether he should ask Jiang Lin to investigate. What happened back then was like a knot in their hearts. If they didn't untie it, they would all go round and round in it. Thinking of this, his eyes turned out of the window unconsciously.
The bustling crowd was moving on the wide road, and suddenly, his sight was tightly grasped by a figure.
The beautiful eyebrows slowly frowned.
"What are you looking at?" Ding Cheng turned his head to look out the window, "What's wrong, who did you see?"
Shen Zaitu stood up: "I have something to do, let's go first."
"Ah, let's go now." Ding Cheng was curious, and looked out of the window again, only then did he see clearly who caused his brother's reaction.
That's right, in this world, apart from Wen Lu, he really couldn't find another person who made Shen Zaitu abandon his brother.
Ding Cheng watched for a while, and found that Wen Lu came out of the flower shop, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hands, and got into the car.
Shen Zaitu failed to catch up with him, and finally stopped a taxi on the side of the road and chased after him.
"Master, can you please help me keep up with the car in front?" Shen Zaitu didn't care if he would be regarded as a stalker, who told him not to drive when he went out today.However, where is Wen Lu going?
And there are flowers, should I make an appointment?
He clearly knew that Wen Lu was not that kind of person, but when he made a call, but the phone was turned off, he couldn't help thinking wildly.
Shen Zaitu followed him all the way to Nanshan Road. Seeing Wen Lu get off the car, he quickly followed.
What is he doing on Nanshan Road?
Not here, for some reason, my heart skipped a beat, this is the cemetery.
Wen Lu came here alone to see who.
With too many questions circling in his mind, he unconsciously followed the person in front of him.
Nanshan went to the suburb of Lincheng. He hadn't been here for a long time. The higher he went, the colder the temperature became. Wen Lu shivered inexplicably.
This piece of land has also changed a lot, and many tombstones have been added.
He hadn't been here in eight years, and he didn't know if they would blame him.
Today is not a festival of worship, there are very few people in Nanshan District, Wen Lu squatted next to a tombstone that was already overgrown with weeds, put the flowers under his feet, and stretched out his hands to tear off the surrounding weeds .
It was very quiet all around.
His fair fingers were stained with mud, but Wen Lu didn't care, he concentrated on pulling the weeds, and finally wiped the photos on the cemetery with his sleeve.
His fingers rested on the photo where he couldn't tell who it was.
After a long silence, Wen Lu's eyes gradually blurred.
Finally, she called softly, "Mom."
Tears couldn't stop sliding down his cheeks to his chin, and fell into the dirt drop by drop.
"...I'm sorry, I just came back to see you and Lin Lin today." Wen Lu put his forehead on the photo.
It was as if they had never left in the past eight years, they had always been by his side.
"Mom, I miss you and Lin Lin... If there is no Mengmeng, I feel like I can't hold on anymore." Wen Lu's voice was unbearably hoarse, and after a while, he asked, "Are you blaming me for not talking?" I just came back to see you now."
After a few words, Wen Lu couldn't continue when he reached this point.
After a long time, Wen Lu straightened up and leaned against the cemetery again, looking for support like a puppy straying by the side of the road.
He muttered to himself: "I live with him now, even I don't know if it's right to do it... Mom, if you were still here, would you support me, you would definitely Well, if you liked him so much back then, you would definitely support him, right?"
--
The day Wen Lu went to Shenzhen was Saturday.
On Friday afternoon, Shen Zaitu came to pick up Mengmeng.
Mengmeng knew that she was going to Uncle Shen's house, watched her father packing her luggage in the room, and asked, "Dad, when are you coming back?"
Wen Lu took out the clothes from the closet and folded them, "I'll be back next Monday, Meng Meng, you go to Uncle Shen's house, remember to be obedient and not mischievous."
Holding the little bear in her hands, Mengmeng said with reluctance in her tone, "I see."
This is the first time the two have been separated for such a long time. Wen Lu got up, squatted on the ground, touched Mengmeng's face, his eyes were full of father's tenderness: "You don't have to be afraid, if you miss your father, let Uncle Shen come with you." I'll call, let's video, okay?"
"it is good."
"Good boy, Uncle Shen will come to pick you up later. I've already told him everything about your study time and class time. If you don't see Uncle Shen come to pick you up after school, you can wait for him at school. He may be working overtime, or there is a traffic jam on the road, I wrote his phone number in your small wallet, call him first if you encounter any problems, and remember not to go with strangers."
Mengmeng patted her chest and promised: "Don't worry, Dad, I will remember everything."
Wen Lu was made to laugh by Mengmeng, got up to get the wallet, took out the money from it, put it in Mengmeng's small wallet, and just after putting it in, someone knocked on the door outside.
No one came at this time except Shen Zaitu, Wen Lu asked Mengmeng to open the door: "It's your Uncle Shen who is here."
Mengmeng hugged the little bear, and ran to open the door, Shen Zaitu saw the little girl, stretched out his hand to pinch Mengmeng's face, bent down and hugged Mengmeng: "Hi, Mengmeng."
"Uncle Shen." Mengmeng wrapped her small arms around Shen Zaitu's neck, calling him sweetly.
Wen Lu had already packed the suitcase and stood up.
Shen Zaitu walked in and said: "Wen Lu, you haven't had dinner yet, go to eat together, and we'll clean up when we come back later." After Shen Zaitu finished speaking, before Wen Lu could answer, he asked Mengmeng: "What does Mengmeng like to eat? Let's eat together." Would you like to take Dad to dinner?"
When Mengmeng heard about the food, she barked her teeth and claws excitedly: "Okay, okay, I want to eat lobster, let's eat lobster, shall we?"
Shen Zaitu: "Okay, listen to you, let's go, let's go eat lobster."
Wen Lu watched as the two finalized the dinner with just one sentence, and he didn't even have room to interject, a little funny and a little helpless.
This time, Shen Zaitu managed to hold onto Wen Lu's seven inches, Mengmeng, he could tell that Wen Lu's heart for Mengmeng.
So he decided to start with Mengmeng, I am afraid the success rate will be much higher.
The three of them went out together and went to Xialaohui to eat shrimp, which were all seafood.
When we arrived at the place, it was just in time for eating. There were a lot of people, many of whom were parents bringing their children to eat.
When Wen Lu sat down, he couldn't help wondering whether he and Shen Zaitu brought Mengmeng here, would they be a happy family in the eyes of others.
"Wen Lu, what do you want to eat?" Shen Zaitu asked him while holding the menu, and after calling several times, Wen Lu finally came to his senses: "Ah, what?"
"Look, what do you want to eat? Order it yourself." Shen Zaitu smiled, handed him the menu, and said to Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, sit by Uncle Shen's side."
Mengmeng was stretching her neck to look at the delicacies on other tables, when she heard Shen Zaitu calling her, she went to sit with Shen Zaitu.
Wen Lu looked at Shen Zaitu holding Mengmeng, looked at him with big eyes and small eyes, and urged him to order food together, which made him feel unreal.
For a while, Wen Lu's chest felt warm, and finally ordered a few Mengmeng's favorite dishes, and handed the menu to the waiter.
This meal is just the most ordinary dinner.
The table was full of delicious food, but Wen Lu's eyes were never on the table.
He couldn't help but look towards the opposite side.
He thinks that they are related by blood after all, and the intimacy and tacit understanding in the bones are really something ordinary people can't learn.
After a meal, Mengmeng was almost entangled with Shen Zaitu, and she wanted to hug him wherever he went.
"Uncle Shen, hug me."
"Uncle Shen, carry me on your back."
"Uncle Shen, you are so warm."
On the contrary, Wen Lu felt that he had been neglected by his daughter, and even unconsciously became jealous.
At this level, he was really worried.
When I came back a week later, my daughter still didn't recognize him.
On the other hand, Shen Zaitu was very proud, he even winked at Wen Lu in the middle of the journey, his whole body was covered with "Am I a good father?", as if he wanted to show how much he was liked by children.
Maybe it was because the atmosphere was so good, Wen Lu pretended to be angry and gave him a hateful look.
Those big eyes are smart and lively, just like back then.
After returning home, Wen Lu put Mengmeng's homework, clothes, all kinds of things to use and wash in her schoolbag.
"I only packed three pieces of clothes with her. I'll give you the key. If it's not enough, you can take her home to get it. By the way, she sleeps at night and likes to sleep with a bear, otherwise she won't be able to sleep. At nine o'clock in the evening Zhong must let her sleep, otherwise, she won't be able to get up the next day..."
While cleaning up, Wen Lu explained a lot to his mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and many words were repeated. Shen Zaitu stood at the door and looked at him.
"I know it all."
Wen Lu paused, looked towards the living room, Mengmeng was playing with building blocks on the sofa, slowly moved to Shen Zaitu, and smiled softly: "Thank you."
The voice was very soft, but it cheered Shen Zaitu. In memory, this was the first time Wen Lu smiled at him like this: "It's okay, I'll let her make video calls with you every day."
Wen Lu lowered his head and said softly, "Thank you."
"Between you and me." Shen Zaitu looked at him affectionately, "There's no need to talk about that."
Wen Lu looked away, and said after a long time, "Don't say this in front of the child."
In the afternoon of the next day, Shen Zaitu drove to the downstairs of Wen Lu and took him to the airport.
Mengmeng is also in the car.
"Dad, be careful on the road, I will miss you." The little girl hugged Wen Lu, she had never left Wen Lu for half a step, this time Wen Lu was leaving, her eyes were wet.
Wen Lu teased her with a smile: "Oh, Dad is going to earn money, it's not that he won't come back, good boy, when he comes back, Dad will take you to buy nice clothes, okay?"
Mengmeng pouted and nodded: "I know, I will be obedient."
Shen Zaitu looked at the time, there was still half an hour left, he opened the car door, took out the suitcase, and handed it to Wen Lu: "Go."
Wen Lu took the box, touched Mengmeng's head, and then went in.
Shen Zaitu was driving home, Mengmeng's eyes were red from crying, and she leaned against the side of the car and remained silent.
"Mengmeng, have you never been separated from your father?" Shen was trying to find words to communicate with a seven-year-old girl while driving on the road.
Mengmeng nodded, her voice hoarse: "No."
Shen Zaitu glanced at her and comforted him: "Don't worry, Uncle Shen will call Dad at night, okay? Let's talk to him."
"it is good."
Shen Zaitu laughed, he felt that he and Mengmeng were quite compatible, he didn't like children very much before, they should be too noisy.
Like to cry, not easy to carry.
Kemengmeng is different, very sensible.
As expected, it was brought out by Wen Lu.
When thinking about this sentence, someone completely forgot who said that Mengmeng's personality followed her mother's.
On the way home, Shen Zaitu went to the supermarket and bought a lot of fruits and vegetables, but he seldom cooks.
But I can still cook home-cooked dishes.
It's definitely not good for a child to eat takeaway with him every day, and it's given to him by Wen Lu, Shen Zaitu thought, finally got the chance.
Mengmeng must grow white and fat within a week or so, and let Wen Lu come back to see his potential as a stepdad.
It's a pity that Shen Zaitu's heart is good.
When he looked at the mushy potatoes, he knew that he overestimated the kitchen, and at the same time overestimated his own cooking skills.
Mengmeng smelled a burning smell in the living room, ran in and saw Uncle Shen silently looking at the frying pan: "Uncle Shen, what did you do?"
Shen Zaitu took a deep breath and gave up: "Mengmeng, do you want stewed chicken with mushrooms or braised pork ribs?"
Mengmeng blinked: "Sparse ribs."
Shen Zaitu nodded: "Okay."
Ten minutes later, two bowls of steaming instant noodles were placed on the table.
Mengmeng pursed her lips and picked up her chopsticks.
Shen Zaitu was a little embarrassed: "Mengmeng, usually at home, what does Dad give you to eat?"
Mengmeng answered one by one: "There are pumpkin soup, glutinous rice ribs, and my favorite fish."
Shen Zaitu: "..."
Well, he doesn't know either.
In the evening, Shen Zaitu made a video call with Wen Lu.
As soon as Wen Lu returned to the hotel, he received a video call. When he picked it up, Mengmeng appeared on the screen: "Dad."
Wen Lu sat on the bed: "Mengmeng."
Shen Zaitu sat on the sofa, stopped Mengmeng with one hand and asked, "Haven't you rested yet?"
Wen Lu shook his head.
Shen Zaitu: "Little girl has been clamoring for me to video with you, I'm worried that you haven't finished your work yet."
"Dad." Mengmeng took the phone with both hands, and talked to Wen Lu alone. She looked aggrieved and anxious, and called "Dad" several times.
Wen Lu looked at Mengmeng's pouted little mouth, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, who bullied you?"
Holding up her mobile phone, Mengmeng said in frustration, "Father, when are you coming back?"
Wen Lu: "I'll be back today next week, be good."
Shen Zaitu watched the little girl occupying the phone, he didn't even have room to intervene, so he could only wait on the sidelines.
He stretched out his fingers to hook Mengmeng's hair in a boring way, curling it around his fingers round and round.
Wen Lu talked to Mengmeng for a long time, while Shen Zaitu waited on the sidelines, inserting a word from time to time, only to be squeezed out.
In the end, Wen Lu looked at the time and reminded: "Mengmeng, you have to go to dance lessons tomorrow, have you washed up, go to bed."
Hearing this sentence, Shen Zaitu quickly brought over his mobile phone: "Mengmeng, come, say goodbye to Dad."
Mengmeng faced the screen: "Goodbye, Dad."
"Mengmeng, goodbye."
Shen Zaitu finally found a chance to talk to Wen Lu: "Wen Lu, is it warm over there?"
In front of the child, Shen Zaitu wanted to say something nasty, but he couldn't say it, he could only ask some homely things.
"Ah."
"It's very warm in Shenzhen. Are you tired from work today?"
"·······fine."
Shen Zaitu obviously felt that the atmosphere was different from before. Wen Lu always spoke freely in front of Mengmeng, but when he came here, he just hesitated to speak.
The two sat on the sofa and talked for a while, and finally Shen Zaitu borrowed Mengmeng's light.
Let Wen Lu watch Mengmeng sleep on the other side, and finally returned to his room.
"Mengmeng is very obedient, she doesn't make noise or make noise." Shen Zaitu said.
Wen Lu nodded: "That's good, you go to bed early too, it's getting late."
Shen Zaitu still wanted to say something, but it seemed that he had finished what he said just now in front of the child, and all that was left was some deep affection.
"Go to bed early, good night." Gently, Wen Lu said.
Shen Zaitu held the phone, looked at the person opposite, and said for a while, "Good night."
The next day, Shen Zaitu took Mengmeng to school. Because of the potato accident on the first day yesterday, the two of them ate instant noodles, so he decided to take Mengmeng to eat outside.
Wait for him to study recipes for two days before cooking at home.
Apparently, Wen Lu walked for the second day, and Mengmeng followed Shen Zaitu to eat out for another day.
Waiting until Wednesday, our Mr. Shen finally passed hundreds of failures and made a barely watchable dish.
At that time, I took a picture proudly and sent it to my circle of friends.
After a while, a group of people liked and commented on it.
"Hey, old Shen, you're cooking for yourself, that's amazing "thumbs""
"Shen Zaitu, when did you have a daughter?"
"Mr. Shen, what a husband and father!"
"Successful man."
·······
There are many, Shen Zaitu looked at it and smiled, and there was someone who said that Mengmeng looked like him, directly saying that he gave birth to a daughter outside, Shen Zaitu couldn't help laughing, and glanced at Mengmeng.
looks like?
It's not like that at all!
Where can I see the faces of father and daughter!
But thinking about it, Shen Zaitu suddenly said: "Come on, Mengmeng, let's take a photo."
The little girl has a pair of round black eyes, a small pink mouth, and slightly curly hair, almost carved out of the same mold as Wen Lu.
He wanted Mengmeng to look a little like him, so that everyone could see them when he went out in the future. They were a family of three.
But after searching for a long time, he didn't find that Mengmeng resembled him at all.
The moment Wen Lu got off the plane, he shivered from the cold, and quickly took out thick clothes to put on.
Zhan Yanyan has three suitcases, one when she goes there, and three when she comes back. They are all filled with clothes and cosmetics. Wen Lu said that she seems to be shopping instead of on a business trip. Treating work as entertainment is the only way to be happy. Wen Lu can't say no to her, so he can only be her military adviser every day this week, asking "whether it looks good or not?" and other opinions.
The two walked out of the terminal.
Zhan Yanyan stood at the intersection and called her boyfriend, while asking Wen Lu: "Lu Lu, how are you going back? Do you want to take a taxi?"
Wen Lu smiled: "Someone is here to pick me up."
Zhan Yanyan said, his eyes lit up: "Oh? Who is who?"
I don't know if the little girl's world is always so gossip. Seeing Zhan Yanyan who is so gossip, Wen Lu was a little cautious for a while. He thought if he said that Mr. Shen came to pick him up, would Zhan Yanyan be scared? arrive.
Just thinking of this, the phone rang.
Wen Lu took out his phone and picked it up: "Hello."
A female voice came from the other side of the phone: "Dad, Dad."
Wen Lu: "Mengmeng, where have you been?"
"Father, Uncle Shen and I have to arrive later, there is traffic jam on the road, we are going out late."
Wen Lu: "It's okay, Dad is in no hurry."
Wen Lu waited for more than 20 minutes before Shen Zaitu arrived, and Zhan Yanyan had already been picked up by her boyfriend.
As soon as she got in the car, Mengmeng held Wen Lu in her arms, talking endlessly.
Shen Zaitu was listening, Wen Lu's smile, Mengmeng's smile, the happy atmosphere of the two filled the narrow car.
For a moment, he had a feeling that he and Wen Lu went back to the past, back to the time of the third year of high school.
On that day, Wen Lu rested at home for a day, and sent Mengmeng to Chaoyang Primary School early the next morning to take a dance class.
Taking advantage of free time, go to Shen Zaitu's house to get back Mengmeng's things.
"Actually, Mengmeng and I get along very well." When Wen Lu was packing Mengmeng's things at Shen Zaitu's house, Shen Zaitu kept trying to say something, "I'm fine, Mengmeng and I have a very good relationship, and we can continue to live here." " subtext.
Wen Lu can tell that he is very kind to Mengmeng. The extra giant pandas, brown bears, and the building blocks in the living room, the Rubik's Cube, all prove that Mr. Shen has been working hard this week. "Practical action" wins the relationship with Mengmeng.
Finally, Wen Lu took a deep breath, and said something ambiguous: "Mengmeng gets along very well with everyone."
Shen Zaitu opened his mouth to speak, as if he had prepared something to say to him.
But in the end, I stared at him for a while, but I didn't know what I was thinking.
There was some inexplicable emotion in his eyes, and finally, Shen Zaitu suddenly turned around and went out.
When he was the only one left in the room, Wen Lu's heart was completely relaxed, and he opened his hands, which were full of sweat.
He seemed to be able to guess what Shen Zaitu wanted to say just now, and he probably didn't know what he wanted to hear.
Wen Lu sat on the bed, he didn't know how long he could hold on like this.
If Shen Zaitu continues like this, will he ever compromise.
Will Mengmeng's identity be revealed one day?
and those...
Before Wen Lu could think more, the phone in his bag rang.
It was from the teacher at the school.
As soon as she picked it up, a female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, is this Wen Meng's family? Please come to the school now. Wen Meng suddenly has a stomachache. We have already contacted the hospital... ..."
When Wen Lu received this call, his whole body felt cold for a moment.
Shen Zaitu was sitting in the living room, and saw Wen Lu running out of the room with red eyes, holding up his mobile phone, like a lost person asking for help.
"What's the matter?" Shen Zaitu intuitively felt that something happened.
Wen Lu opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to speak out: "Mengmeng, the school is calling, the hospital..."
Shen Zaitu understood a few simple words.
The two rushed to the hospital, and Wen Lu saw Wen Meng's dance teacher from a distance.
"Mr. Han, hello. I'm Wen Meng's father. May I ask what's wrong with Wen Meng?" Wen Lu asked several questions in succession, but Teacher Han didn't know how to answer, when the doctor just came out.
"Excuse me, who is Wen Meng's family?"
Wen Lu hurried over and grabbed the doctor's arm: "Hello, I am, doctor, what's wrong with my daughter?"
"It's nothing serious. It's appendicitis. Just get some anti-inflammatory injections. After the inflammation subsides, the operation can be done later."
Wen Lu nodded repeatedly, Shen Zaitu took the medicine list from the doctor and said to Wen Lu, "Go to the ward to see Mengmeng, and I'll get the medicine."
"it is good."
Looking at his daughter lying on the hospital bed, Wen Lu wished to transfer all the pain in his body to himself.
There was a sudden heaviness on his shoulders, Wen Lu tilted his head, it was Shen Zaitu who came in, his brows were lowered, and he comforted him: "Don't worry, Mengmeng is fine."
Wen Lu nodded.
Mengmeng's appendicitis is acute, and the operation can only be performed after the inflammation is eliminated.
In those few days, Wen Lu went to the hospital after get off work, and he felt a whole lot thinner.
"In two days, Mengmeng will have surgery, and I may have to ask for leave."
The two of them came out of the hospital after watching Mengmeng, Wen Lu said.
Shen Zaitu nodded. In fact, Wen Lu didn't need to say, he would give him a vacation, and seeing Wen Lu running around in the past few days made him feel uncomfortable.
After a while, Shen Zaitu said unintentionally, "Why don't you move to my house, so that I can take care of you."
When Wen Lu returned to Lincheng from Shenzhen, Shen Zaitu was going to say this sentence.
It's all because Mengmeng is in the hospital during this time, and it's hard to speak up.
When Wen Lu heard these words, he was really taken aback.
"Don't worry, I won't take advantage of others, I just want to help you."
Shen Zaitu looked at him, and before Wen Lu could speak, he continued, "You don't need to answer me in a hurry, think about it first."
"I don't want you to have any psychological burden. Mengmeng is very close to me. I hope to take care of her, and of course you."
Wen Lu was silent.
Shen Zaitu's words were like a stone hitting Wen Lu's heart, causing waves to circle around.
Always can not be calm.
live together?Did he mean cohabitation?
Wen Lu lay on the bed, thinking about what Shen Zaitu said in the hospital during the day.
During this period of time, things happened one after another, and he didn't have time to think about his relationship with Shen Zaitu at all, so let's think about it now.
Only then did I realize that the two of them are also like friends... No, this relationship is even closer than friends.
If Shen Zaitu hadn't been in this period of time, would he have no choice but to resign and get up now?
Thinking back when Mengmeng had a small fever, he couldn't do without it, let alone now.
Thinking of Wen Lu's eyes getting hot, as if he had fallen into a dead end, a net wrapped him up, making him suffocate.
Slowly, he curled up on the bed wrapped in a quilt, which was an extremely insecure posture.
Can he still trust him now?
While falling asleep in a daze, Wen Lu was still thinking about this matter.
Wen Meng was discharged from the hospital after the operation, and was picked up by Shen Zaitu.
After Mengmeng got into the car, seeing that it was not the way home, she asked curiously, "Dad, are we going to Uncle Shen's house?"
Wen Lu took a look at Shen Zaitu and didn't know how to tell Mengmeng about it.
"Mengmeng, Uncle Shen took you home and prepared a lot of toys you like for you. How about staying at Uncle's house for a while? Your father is also here." Shen Zaitu may have seen his embarrassment, and gave it to him on the sidelines. He makes a clearance.
Mengmeng nodded: "Well, anyway, wherever Dad is, Mengmeng will be there."
Wen Lu patted his daughter's head, he was glad Mengmeng didn't ask too many questions.
Because if he continues to ask, he may doubt whether his decision is correct in his heart.
For Mengmeng, for him, and for Shen Zaitu.
Sometimes, that's it, the more you want to back down, life will always push you forward.
When Wen Lu watched Shen Zaitu dragging him and Mengmeng's suitcase into the room, he still felt like he was dreaming.
In fact, for so many years, he has always had a dream like a joke.
That's what he's doing right now.
"You sleep in this room, Mengmeng's room is next door, don't be restrained, treat it like your own home." Shen Zaitu took the remote control, went out of the room twice, came in again and stood where he was.
Wen Lu and Mengmeng stood aside, staring at him blankly, not knowing what he was going to do.
The three came to a novice village, except for Mengmeng, the two of them were at a loss, even embarrassed.
They didn't dare to look at each other, maybe they were hiding their emotions, or they had some unspeakable secrets that they didn't dare to let the other party find out.
"Well, I'll go to the supermarket to buy some things you need later." Mr. Shen has been thick-skinned for more than 20 years. At this moment, he felt that he was not as nervous as he was when he stood under the red flag and read the review in front of the whole school.
"Let's go together, Mengmeng and I will go shopping." Wen Lu whispered.
Shen Zaitu nodded: "Okay, okay, that Mengmeng stays at home obediently, waiting for us."
The two are walking in the supermarket.
Shen Zaitu took a bunch of things, and in the shopping cart, he glanced at Wen Lu next to him from time to time, as if he was afraid that he would lose his grip when he reached out.
Always staring at people, how could Wen Lu not know his gaze.
He could only pretend that he didn't see it, and walked on as if nothing had happened.
"Wen Lu, does this Meng Mengxi like to eat lychees?" Shen Zaitu walked to the fruit area and asked him with a stick of lychees in his hand.
Looking at someone's shopping ability, Wen Lu felt a little headache.
Each of them was pushing a shopping cart, which was already fully loaded. He really suspected that this person was not here to buy things, but to buy supermarkets.
"Buy less, the fruit will go bad after a long time."
Shen Zaitu heard it, thought about it, and finally let it go reluctantly.
Went to other districts again.
Wen Lu followed behind Shen Zaitu, looked at the tall and straight figure, and suddenly called softly: "Shen Zaitu."
The person in front paused and turned around: "Huh?"
Wen Lu blinked, "There's nothing to buy anymore, let's go back."
It was already past seven o'clock when we got home, and Wen Lu went into the house with him. After seeing the relatively unfamiliar environment, Wen Lu realized that they were living together from now on.
God really seemed to be joking with him, at night Mengmeng was still in bed and asked him if he would live in Uncle Shen's house from now on, Wen Lu didn't know how to answer, whether it was temporary or long-term, he didn't even dare to think Thinking about this, I was really afraid that I expected too much, and in the end it completely fell through.
After Mengmeng fell asleep, Wen Lu gently closed the door, turned around, and saw Shen Zaitu.
He asked, "Did Mengmeng fall asleep?"
Nodding slightly, Wen Lu pursed his lips and whispered, "Thank you."
He didn't know how many times he said thank you, as if he couldn't find other words to say besides this sentence.
"You don't need to tell me thank you." Shen Zaitu stared at him, Wen Lu turned back to the room, put his hand on the door handle, and finally turned around, "Good night."
Looking at the closed door, the corners of Shen Zaitu's mouth were slightly bent, and he mouthed: "Good night."
That night, Shen Zaitu lay on the bed and did not fall asleep.
In the next room, there is a person, a sweetheart.
It seemed that the place that had been empty for so many years was suddenly filled.
Early the next morning, Shen Zaitu woke up in a daze. He heard footsteps in the living room. He thought someone had entered the house. After reacting for a few seconds, he remembered that Wen Lu and Mengmeng moved in yesterday. He picked up his phone and watched Looking at the time, it's past eight o'clock.
There were several rings outside the door, and Mengmeng's voice came: "Uncle Shen, wake up, the sun is drying your butt."
Shen Zaitu hurriedly got out of bed, opened the door, and Mengmeng stood at his door with a small water glass in his hand: "Father asked me to call you for breakfast."
"En." Shen Zaitu passed the living room and walked into the kitchen.He usually seldom cooks by himself, and it was a completely neglected place, but now, he suddenly realized that it was different, and every morning in the future, he would see Wen Lu.
--
"Do you live together?" It was not easy for Ding Cheng to have time to get together on the weekend, but Ding Cheng did not expect to hear a big news just as he sat down. I couldn't react for a while.
Shen Zaitu had already guessed that he would react like this, and said indifferently: "Well, Mengmeng underwent surgery, and he can't take care of it alone."
"Heh." Ding Cheng took a sip of coffee to suppress his shock, and said with a smile, "You're pretty fast."
Shen Zaitu slightly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, but there was no trace of joy in his eyes.
"What's wrong with you, aren't you happy now that you're living together?" Ding Cheng asked.
"I don't know." Shen Zaitu shook his head, sighed, and said lightly, "I feel that Wen Lu is hiding a lot of things from me."
During this time, although the two were under the same roof, Wen Lu avoided him even more than before.
If it wasn't for the breakfast on the table every day and a few extra pairs of shoes in the shoe cabinet, he wouldn't even know that Wen Lu was at home.
Ding Cheng didn't know what to say: "...take your time."
Shen Zaitu nodded: "I think so too."
Ding Cheng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, Shen Zaitu saw: "Say what you want to say, don't hesitate."
Ding Cheng sneered, "You don't know what I want to say."
"If you persuade me, you don't need to say it."
"Hey, but you're wrong." Ding Cheng smiled, "I'm not trying to persuade you this time." Ding Cheng said seriously, "What I want to say is that if you want to start over, I just want to suggest something, what? Everything needs to be explained.”
Shen Zaitu understood the meaning of Ding Cheng's words.
He was talking about eight years ago.
Why doesn't he want to explain clearly, but when it comes to this issue, Shen Zaitu is relatively at a loss: "I know, it's..."
"What is it?"
Shen Zaitu rested his finger on the rim of the cup: "Wen Lu is very familiar with this question. I mentioned it twice, and his reaction was great."
Before, he wanted to let Jiang Lin check it out, but because there were too many things, he was shelved.
Shen Zaitu thought to himself whether he should ask Jiang Lin to investigate. What happened back then was like a knot in their hearts. If they didn't untie it, they would all go round and round in it. Thinking of this, his eyes turned out of the window unconsciously.
The bustling crowd was moving on the wide road, and suddenly, his sight was tightly grasped by a figure.
The beautiful eyebrows slowly frowned.
"What are you looking at?" Ding Cheng turned his head to look out the window, "What's wrong, who did you see?"
Shen Zaitu stood up: "I have something to do, let's go first."
"Ah, let's go now." Ding Cheng was curious, and looked out of the window again, only then did he see clearly who caused his brother's reaction.
That's right, in this world, apart from Wen Lu, he really couldn't find another person who made Shen Zaitu abandon his brother.
Ding Cheng watched for a while, and found that Wen Lu came out of the flower shop, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hands, and got into the car.
Shen Zaitu failed to catch up with him, and finally stopped a taxi on the side of the road and chased after him.
"Master, can you please help me keep up with the car in front?" Shen Zaitu didn't care if he would be regarded as a stalker, who told him not to drive when he went out today.However, where is Wen Lu going?
And there are flowers, should I make an appointment?
He clearly knew that Wen Lu was not that kind of person, but when he made a call, but the phone was turned off, he couldn't help thinking wildly.
Shen Zaitu followed him all the way to Nanshan Road. Seeing Wen Lu get off the car, he quickly followed.
What is he doing on Nanshan Road?
Not here, for some reason, my heart skipped a beat, this is the cemetery.
Wen Lu came here alone to see who.
With too many questions circling in his mind, he unconsciously followed the person in front of him.
Nanshan went to the suburb of Lincheng. He hadn't been here for a long time. The higher he went, the colder the temperature became. Wen Lu shivered inexplicably.
This piece of land has also changed a lot, and many tombstones have been added.
He hadn't been here in eight years, and he didn't know if they would blame him.
Today is not a festival of worship, there are very few people in Nanshan District, Wen Lu squatted next to a tombstone that was already overgrown with weeds, put the flowers under his feet, and stretched out his hands to tear off the surrounding weeds .
It was very quiet all around.
His fair fingers were stained with mud, but Wen Lu didn't care, he concentrated on pulling the weeds, and finally wiped the photos on the cemetery with his sleeve.
His fingers rested on the photo where he couldn't tell who it was.
After a long silence, Wen Lu's eyes gradually blurred.
Finally, she called softly, "Mom."
Tears couldn't stop sliding down his cheeks to his chin, and fell into the dirt drop by drop.
"...I'm sorry, I just came back to see you and Lin Lin today." Wen Lu put his forehead on the photo.
It was as if they had never left in the past eight years, they had always been by his side.
"Mom, I miss you and Lin Lin... If there is no Mengmeng, I feel like I can't hold on anymore." Wen Lu's voice was unbearably hoarse, and after a while, he asked, "Are you blaming me for not talking?" I just came back to see you now."
After a few words, Wen Lu couldn't continue when he reached this point.
After a long time, Wen Lu straightened up and leaned against the cemetery again, looking for support like a puppy straying by the side of the road.
He muttered to himself: "I live with him now, even I don't know if it's right to do it... Mom, if you were still here, would you support me, you would definitely Well, if you liked him so much back then, you would definitely support him, right?"
