The setting sun gradually slants to the West. At the beginning of December, the capital enters a bleak winter.

Looking around, except for the evergreen trees, all the branches are bare.

Su Yuzhuo sits by the window of the tea bar and looks at the traffic.

The waiter put on a pot of Dahongpao and a dish of American almonds and poured a cup of tea for Su Yuzhuo.

"Thank you." Su Yuzhuo took a sip of thanks.

Hearing people like to put down the tea cup, the voice is simple: "you're welcome."

The environment of the tea bar is relatively quiet. Many people enjoy tea while reading books.

Silence lingered between them.

Su Yuzhuo looks at the woman who is the same age as her mother. After a long time, she suddenly says, "you are more suitable for Dad than my mother."

People like to smile and say nothing.

"My mother had some bad experiences when she was young. You must have heard that she always felt inferior to her father, so she left here with my sister and me and followed a man she didn't love. Before, I didn't understand her idea, but now I suddenly understand that if I love someone, I hope he will live better, even if I sacrifice myself, And willing to make him better. "

Su Yuzhuo didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes became dazed.

I heard that people like to put one hand on the retro desktop and the other hand on the slightly raised abdomen. Under the cover of loose thread clothing, no one can see that she is a pregnant woman with more than four months of pregnancy.

"Compared with her, your family background and experience are much better. You have been waiting for my father for more than 20 years. With this infatuation, you are more suitable for him."

"Luo Jianqiu was sentenced to a reprieve, which is a little different from what I expected. However, I believe her father will keep her in prison for the rest of her life, which is enough..."

Su Yuzhuo's nagging is more appropriate to talk to himself than to be heard.

"I bought a ticket to Suzhou at 7 o'clock tonight. I'll go to the airport in a moment."

"My father loves you very much. He takes care of the fat cat named Xifan. I wish you happiness." After a pause, Su Yuzhuo murmured, "well, I wish you happiness."

Silence again.

Both of them thought about things, but no one spoke again.

Suddenly.

"What are you doing here?" A male voice that both of them are familiar with comes over.

Jingyi, wearing a military uniform, is upright and awe inspiring. He goes to wenrenxi and looks at Su Yuzhuo's eyes, revealing some vigilance.

Wen Renxi stood up, calm and indifferent, "you talk."

Alienated attitude, Jingyi looked down.

Hearing people like to wipe from his body, the unique taste of women makes him happy.

Everyone will smell an exciting smell from the person he likes, which may not be heard by others. Scientists call this smell pheromone, which is the most primitive information for animals to find a mate.

He used to be in touch with Wen Renxi. Jingyi often smelled this smell when she was close to him. Whenever that time, there was an irrepressible pleasure in his mind. But at that time, he was full of Su Mei, and that different feeling was suppressed in his heart.

During the months he tried to get along with her, he became more and more attracted to her, and even her figure was about to fill his heart. Sometimes in the dead of night, he suddenly found that he had not thought of Su Mei for a long time.

Wen Renxi's birthday was really his negligence. When there was an emergency in the Southern War Zone, he had to go to the town to deal with it. The incident happened suddenly, and it was a military secret. He couldn't disclose it to the outside world. He left in a hurry, didn't say hello to anyone, and even forgot Wen Renxi's birthday. He got off the plane at 10:30 and received her call, Is also a hurry to say two irrelevant words on the phone.

When he thought about it again, it was many days later. He wanted to make up for it on his next birthday, but he forgot to say sorry to her.

When shopping in the mall, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Su Mei's side face. He was worried about her sudden betrayal. It was clear that a few days before he returned to the army, they were still affectionate.

But as soon as he turns around, she leaves with another man. He goes back to Beijing to look for her regardless of the discipline of the army, only to find that everything about her has been wiped clean.

He knew that it was Mrs. Jing who did it. He begged Mrs. Guo to tell him about Su Mei. But at that time, Mrs. Jing was so strong and cherished the family atmosphere. How could she let the woman who had not easily disappeared come back to confuse her son and shame the lintel of the Jing family.

Over the past 20 years, he often thought about why she left suddenly. They spoke well and faced the ups and downs of the outside world together.

He didn't believe what she said in the letter. He fell in love with others.

What's her problem? What kind of hardship, can force so firm with him together, she suddenly let go?

This question, like a poisonous snake, is in Jingyi's mind.

He clearly saw the figure like Su Mei take the elevator down to the underground parking lot. When he came down, the parking lot was empty.

At that moment, all kinds of things happened more than 20 years ago in his mind. His love for Su Mei at that time was real and unforgettable.

On the day of the wedding, he saw Su Yuzhuo hit and flew. Her face was bloodstained, and her mouth was bubbling with blood. He felt a strong heartache.

At first, he thought it was because of that face. Now, he thought it was probably the blood relationship between father and daughter.

In the hospital, Jingyi hears people's peaceful and resolute words on the phone. He is flustered. He only felt that feeling when Su Mei left more than 20 years ago.

In the nearly half an hour when he abandoned the car and ran to the hotel, a lot of pictures appeared in his mind, each of which was very popular.

The shyness with which she stood in the distance and peered at him.

For the first time, she quietly approached him, introduced herself to him, asked him if he remembered her expectation, and got his negative answer, her eyes full of disappointment.

In the end, the scene stops when they are in the car for the first time. She is scratching his waist under him and calling his name again and again.

"Yi... Yi..."

Kitten general, with breathing, over and over again, branded into his soul.

In the hotel lounge, he looked at the scattered wedding dress on the sofa and realized that she was really leaving, and his heartache spread in his chest.

At that moment, he finally realized that he had been in love with her for more than 20 years.

Otherwise at the beginning, how can you say to get along with her, and how can you be forced by old lady Jing to get engaged to wenrenxi.

More than 20 years ago, Mrs. Jing threatened him with death to leave Su Mei. He never compromised.

He never does anything against his heart.

I just want to know why Su Mei's persistence in leaving blinds his true heart.

It was also at that moment that he suddenly found that the answer he had been trying to get for more than 20 years was not so important.

Jingyi's eyes were dazed for a moment. She was walking in front of him with her head down. Her long hair was tied loosely behind her head, and her beautiful neck was indistinct.

"Xiaoxi." I can't help holding her wrist.

She seems to have lost some weight, and the bone feeling in her hands is more obvious.

Wen Renxi calmly turned around, raised his hand to break off his hand, smile shallow, asked him: "what's the matter?"

Sparse light appearance, stung his eyes, Jingyi throat stem stem, tight tight empty palm, "dinner together in the evening."

"Sorry, I don't have time." Wen Renxi said, "I have something else to do. Please don't accompany me."

"Xifan seems to be ill. If you don't eat or drink for a few days, when will you go home and have a look?" Jingyi is another way.

Go home, it's not easy to use words.

"Sorry, I don't have time." It's still that sentence.

Turning around, the cold words floated out of her mouth again, "raising cats for others, I've had enough."

Hearing that people like to enter the back room, the solid wood door blocks the sight of Jingyi.

Jingyi stood there, his dark green military uniform was eye-catching. With his mature and handsome face and military spirit, the women in the tea bar whispered.

He looked in the direction of hearing people's happiness disappearing, and his heart felt lost.

Su Yuzhuo sees the light loneliness from his tall and straight back. From the last few conversations, she suddenly remembers what Su Mei told her. Her father is not a person with delicate feelings and always ignores Su Mei's feelings in some details.

Su Mei is often very angry, but when she thinks that Jingyi is like a hero to save her from that dirty and terrible place, her small problems that are not considerate become acceptable.

Su Yuzhuo holds the teapot and fills the cup in front of him. He is a 50 year old man who can't chase women.

"Dad, what a woman needs most is company, care and love. You should let her feel that you care about her. Otherwise, it's useless for you to say anything."

"A woman is a sentimental animal. If you give her enough affection, she will naturally return your love."

Jingyi took back his sight and sat down in the place where he liked to sit. "What are you doing here?"

In his tone, there was a little vigilance.

"You're afraid of what I'll say to her to make her unhappy?" Su Yuzhuo took the lid of the cup and scraped the tea floating on the tea soup. The corner of his mouth raised slightly, "don't worry, I just came to say goodbye to her. By the way, I wish you all the best."

Jingyi looks at the daughter who never grew up beside him.

"My mother has passed on her love for you to me. Although I don't have such deep affection for you, I still hope you can be happy in your old age. She is very suitable for you." The last "she" refers to "Wen Renxi".

After a moment's silence, Su Yuzhuo took back her sight out of the window and looked at Jingyi, "Mom, I hope you're happy, too."

"Can't you stay?" Jingyi did not continue Su Yuzhuo's topic, "bring your adoptive father to Beijing for treatment."

"No, he is a heart knot. The doctor treats the body but not the heart, and..." Su Yuzhuo lowered his long eyelashes. "I also have some heart knots. I need to calm down and digest myself. It's the best choice to leave this land of right and wrong."

"I haven't visited my mother and sister for a long time. I want to meet them." Su Yuzhuo laughed, "don't worry. I'll come back to see you when I have time. I'll supervise you for the rest of your life. If you're not happy, my mother will not spare me."

Jingyi said, "call me if you have something."

"Good." Su Yuzhuo raised his hand to look at his watch and said, "it's getting late. I'll go back and get my luggage to catch the plane." She got up and thought of something. She asked, "when are you going to see them in Sucheng?"

As soon as the voice fell, she said, "well, for you, they are all in the past. Just look ahead. Take care."

Jingyi got up and said, "take good care of yourself."

"I know." Su Yuzhuo stepped down and stopped beside Jingyi, "can I hold you?"

Jingyi opens her arms to her.

Su Yuzhuo smiles for a moment, gently approaches his arms and hugs his waist.

When she was a child, Su Mei often told her sisters that her father was very tall and that she could pick the stars if she sat on his shoulder.

Su Fandiao often clamors to go to the capital to find her father and ride around his neck to pick the stars. Su Yuzhuo doesn't have such ambitious ambition. She just wants her father to protect her in his arms when it rains, just like her neighbor's fat father.

Well, Dad's arms are warm and safe.

The scene of father daughter farewell in the hall falls on Ye Qingxin's eyes.

Ye Qingxin takes back her eyes. When she comes back, the kids are still fighting with the oranges. They are full of yellow juice. Ye Qingxin grabs the oranges and the oranges are slightly sour. She is worried that eating too much will affect her teeth.

Nian Nian and chao chao are very unhappy. They stare at each other and protest. They reach out to grab them. They are very calm at dusk. If they don't give them, they don't eat them. They smack their mouths and savor the taste.

"Just an orange. I'll see what you're greedy for. Learn more from my younger brother." Ye Qingxin uses Mu Mu as a positive teaching material to educate people year by year.

"Ah There is a protest every year.

"I'm not happy every year." Hearing that people like to take out a baby wet towel and wipe their mouth to Chaochao, their eyes are full of loving smiles.

Ye Qingxin laughed and said, "now for him, eating is the most important thing."

"Sister Xi, do you and uncle Er have no room to turn around?" Every time ye Qingxin goes back to the old house, he feels sorry to see that Jingyi is scolded by old lady Jing.

At first, wenrenxi always prevents others from mentioning Jingyi in front of her. Later, gradually, when others tell her about Jingyi, she can face it calmly. Ye Qingxin doesn't think it's a good omen.

The more you can face it calmly, the more you don't care.

Hearing people like to pinch the armpit every year and put it on her lap, the little boy sat on her lap like a little adult.

According to the old man, if you hold a healthy and beautiful baby when you are pregnant, the baby in your stomach will grow healthy and beautiful. Although you are superstitious, you are still willing to believe in being a mother.

"He can't give me what I want." Wen Renxi said in a light tone: "there are many examples of greed. At first, I just want to be around him. Later, I think he can care more about me. Later, I hope he loves me. Finally, I long for him to love me only in his life."

"I want to get more and more, but I get less and less. I'm afraid I will drive myself crazy one day, so I'd better do it like this. I don't want anything, but I live at ease."

"Sister Xi..."

"It's good now, not to mention... I have a new pursuit and hope." As she said this, she looked down at her abdomen.

Yes, new hope.

Men can't completely belong to her, but children can, she gave birth to, belong to her alone.

In winter, it gets dark quickly in the capital. It's already dark before five o'clock.

When jingboyuan comes to meet Ye Qingxin, Jingyi has not left the previous seat.

"Second uncle, let's go first." Ye Qingxin said hello to him before he left.

Jingyi is playing with a cigarette case in his hand, and a no smoking sign is pasted in the tea bar.

He nodded to Ye Qingxin and jingboyuan, and said, "drive slowly."

Jing Boyuan embraces dusk, embraces Ye Qingxin with empty hands and goes out, followed by three aunts, two holding children, and one carrying children's supplies. He has a sense of vastness.

The two adults' high face value and the rare triplets have become a scenic spot, attracting many people's attention. Many girls marvel at the three little guys.

"How lovely

"Triplets

Mumu lies on his father's shoulder and looks at the noisy aunts. Every year and every morning, he smiles at several aunts and shows pink gums. It seems that he knows that aunts are praising them and waving two fat hands happily, which vaguely shows the coquettish spirit of growing up.

"The two in the back are so cute. The one in the front is a little cold."

The words in the tea bar spread to the door and were dispersed by the cold wind.

Ye Qingxin gets into the car first. Jing Boyuan puts Mu Mu on her lap and reaches out to help her fasten her seat belt.

The other two kids are still in the excitement of being praised by their aunt fans, giggling.

Ye Qingxin can't help but have some doubts. Who is the personality of this Sao Bao?

At dusk, she just follows jingboyuan's style, which is mature. Mrs. Yan often says that niannuan and Chaochao are more like her. Is it difficult for niannuan and Chaochao's Sao Bao personality to follow her?

She was so coquettish when she was a child?

Then she thought of Su Yuzhuo's leaving tonight. She heard some of Su Yuzhuo's words before.

"Boyuan, Su Yuzhuo is leaving tonight. Does Xiao Yan know?" Some time ago, three little guys caught a cold and had a fever together. When they went to the hospital, they ran into Cheng Ruyu. Ye Qingxin heard that Cheng Ruyu mentioned Xiao Yan and said that he was addicted to alcohol and tobacco after his divorce. Ye Qingxin thought that he could not give up Su Yuzhuo.

Before eating together in the old house of the Jing family, Xiao Yan's care of Su Yuzhuo was not like acting. It was obviously a kind of habitual behavior.

"What do you think?" Jing Boyuan does not answer rhetorical questions.

"Should... Know?" Ye Qingxin hesitated to answer.

Jing Boyuan didn't speak any more.

The sky is getting darker and darker, and several cold stars are twinkling on the dark sky.

Beijing International Airport.

In the terminal hall, song Xianyu holds Su Yuzhuo's hand and asks again. I don't know how many times, "do you have to go?"

Su Yuzhuo raised his ticket and said with a smile, "what do you say?"

"Is it because of him?" Song Xianyu said, "everything is over. Why do you have to divorce him?"

Su Yuzhuo sighed and said, "do you remember the time when you and your family had the most trouble? I also asked you, why do you have to break up when you like him so much? Do you remember what you said to me at that time? "

"You say that some things are not what outsiders see or think." Su Yuzhuo didn't wait for song Xianyu's answer. He said directly, "there are many things you don't know."

Song Xianyu closed his mouth.

"Call me if you need anything." Song Xianyu warned.

Su Yuzhuo suddenly thought of Jingyi's sentence, "call me if you have something."

Eyes slightly moist, she nodded, said: "certainly."

At 7:05, the flight from Beijing to Suzhou drew an arc over the capital.

That line, like a watershed, divides Su Yuzhuo's life in two.

It's nine thirty in the evening.

The tea bar is ready to close. Jingyi is still sitting by the window.

After so many days of familiarity, the waiters also know that Jingyi is a senior official in Beijing, and they also know that he is the husband of their landlady. The landlady is going to divorce, but Jingyi seems unwilling.

Jingyi doesn't leave. The waiters take turns to remind the store that it's closing. Jingyi turns a deaf ear.

No, the waiter had to go to the back room to tell Wen Renxi.

Wen Renxi is lying on the reclining chair with a very old-fashioned recorder on the round tea table beside him. The soft and peaceful music comes out from it.

Listening to the waiter's words, she opened her eyes, the light in her eyes, indifferent and quiet.

Wen Renxi had rented this shop, even the two rooms and one living room upstairs. Now she lives upstairs.

"You go back first."

"What do you do?"

"I'm fine. Don't worry."

The waiters packed their things and left. The tea bar was completely quiet. At 9:30 in the winter, the cold wind swept everywhere and there were few people outside.

Wen Renxi stood in front of the counter and quietly looked at Jingyi. There was no condemnation, no anger, no emotion. Jingyi looked back at her calm eyes and slowly frowned.

He didn't like her so much.
