Zhen Yuanbai didn't know what others would think, anyway, he didn't believe it.
Zhen Weiwei thought silently, as if questioning the authenticity of her words. Zhen Yuanbai went to find Shi Bufan without much effort. In places with good signal, he was summoned with just one phone call.
"Photograph?"
"My mother said that they happened to meet, and the two families took a photo together."
Shi Bufan did not refuse, but he was worried that he would not have a chance to be with Zhen Yuanbai in an open and honest manner. With Zhen Yuanbai by his side, taking pictures with his parents is within the tolerance range.
When taking pictures, Zhen Youyou wanted to be with Zhen Yuanbai, but because of his short stature, Qin Ying pushed him to the front of the crowd. Zhen Yuanbai was standing with Shi Bufan, and his hand was suddenly held by him. He was worried about being caught by the camera When he arrived, he immediately put the hands of the two behind his back.
Then Ling Xuan tugged on Shi Bufan's sleeve, taking advantage of the opportunity and said that he wanted a family photo, Shi Bufan's expression cooled down visibly, but he didn't refuse.
Zhen Yuanbai was still thinking about the fact that his grades were as good as his own in the past, and his eyes couldn't help but follow the time. Zhen Youwei usually looks like someone owes him money, but it is rare for him to run out these few days with a little bit of color on his face, because Shi Bufan's sudden arrival faded a little bit, he came over and grabbed Zhen Yuanbai's sleeve , frowned and said, "Did he come here specifically to find you?"
Zhen Yuanbai hurriedly said: "No way, we just met by chance."
Zhen Youwei stared at him, Zhen Yuanbai immediately looked away guiltily, "We... we'll go to the pedestrian street to eat later, do you want to go?"
Zhen Youwei said forcefully, "Do you want me to go?"
"..." Zhen Yuanbai glanced at him, and hummed, "Of course I don't want to."
"Then I won't go." Zhen Youwei threw down his sleeves with integrity. When he was a child, he was very clingy to Zhen Yuanbai, but as he grew up, he began to feel ashamed to be his brother's 'follower', and he would not force it.
Zhen Yuanbai didn't know what was going on in his mind, so he felt relieved when he heard that he couldn't go. After taking the photo, Shi Bufan walked towards him, his expression slightly relaxed. The two teenagers took the cable car to leave after explaining to their parents. Zhen Weiwei watched the cable car disappear without blinking. Pingjin glanced at him unintentionally, and suddenly his eyelids twitched: "What are you messing with? Take it easy."
The cable car lasted ten minutes, Shi Bufan put one hand on the window and said, "Are you afraid of riding this?"
"I'm not afraid of heights." The bottom of the cable car is transparent, and if you just lower your head, you can see the chiseled stone walls and the deep valley surrounded by clouds and mists. Zhen Yuanbai looked at it without blinking, and asked Said: "Do you dare to jump on it twice?"
Shi Bufan raised his eyebrows and stood up abruptly to show him his courage. The cable car shook suddenly, Zhen Yuanbai's face turned pale instantly, and he hurriedly shouted: "I know you dare! Sit back!"
"I'm quite satisfied to die with you." Shi Bufan stepped beside him and sat down, the cable car finally quieted down under his movement, Zhen Yuanbai pushed him hard: "I haven't lived enough yet Woolen cloth!"
Shi Bufan chuckled and reached out to hook him into his arms.
Zhen Yuanbai took his hand away again, and said seriously: "Your mother said you had good grades before, is it true or not?"
"Do you believe what she says?"
"Why do you have two mothers?"
The smile on the corner of Shi Bufan's mouth was still there, but his eyes had gone cold. He pushed his cheeks and said softly with some negative emotions: "You asked so straightforwardly, should I say it or not?"
Zhen Yuanbai froze for a moment.
He noticed from Shi Bufan's expression that he had asked something wrong, and wanted to apologize but didn't know how to say it. At that time Ling Xuan said that this matter was not a big deal, and was accidentally interrupted by Shi Bufan when telling herself, but now he asked Shi Bufan casually, only to realize that the matter was kept secret from him. What kind of things don't matter in the eyes of parents, but in his eyes, he is unwilling to touch them
Zhen Yuanbai was thinking about it when he suddenly hugged his waist again. Shi Bufan leaned into his ear and said, "If you promise me to open a room at night, I will tell you everything."
Damn it again.
Zhen Yuanbai covered his mouth and pushed him away.
Shi Bufan got his wish, and ran into a hot spring pool with Zhen Yuanbai. The bad thing is, there are still Zhen Youwei, Zhen Pingjin and Shi Xian in this pool. The two adults chatted with each other. Zhen Youyou was lying on the rock and playing with his mobile phone, and glanced at them from time to time, as if to confirm something.
Shi Bufan turned his head to look at Zhen Yuanbai's face that was flushed by the heat, and moved closer to him with itching. Zhen's radar-like eyes immediately stared at him accurately, and Shi Bufan said nonchalantly: "Later Find a place to play games, shall we go?"
"After soaking, I'll take a shower and go to bed." Now that the weather is getting colder, Zhen Yuanbai is sleepy all day long like a snake that needs to hibernate. Zhen Weiwei put down his phone, stared at them silently and kept looking, those eyes seemed to cut them alive, Zhen Yuanbai couldn't take it anymore, kicked away the foot stretched out from under the water, and propped himself up Out of the water: "I'm dizzy, let's go out first."
Wrapped in a bathrobe, he walked out with soft bones, and saw Ling Xuan who was sitting on the sofa drinking water. She had obviously just been out of the water not long ago, so she smiled slightly when she saw him: "Why did you come out so early?"
"I'm dizzy." Zhen Yuanbai walked over and sat down beside her. Ling Xuan pushed the brewed tea over and handed it to him. Seeing that he hesitated to speak, she said clearly, "You want to ask me about Fanfan?" thing?"
Zhen Yuanbai nodded without hesitation, and looked at her thirsty for knowledge: "Can you tell me?"
"There's nothing we can't tell you." Ling Xuan said softly, "Just don't tell Fanfan, I don't want him to think about these things again."
Even Shi's parents didn't know about Shi Bufan's memory recovery, so Zhen Yuanbai subconsciously sat up straight and nodded vigorously.
Ling Xuan brushed her sideburn hair behind her ears, and said eloquently: "Speaking of which, it was my uncle's fault when we were with you... We were twenty-five years old when we got married, and we had a good relationship. When the business was good, we all thought that it would be good to be a DINK couple, and we didn't want to have children."
This can be regarded as a family secret, but it is not as intuitive and scary as what Shi Bufan said when his father kicked him into the swimming pool.
Ling Xuan was very calm when she narrated, and she explained the matter clearly with a few understatement.
When she was young, she pursued a career, and Shi Xian's attention was all on how to make the business better. They were married for two years, and they never thought about what it would be like to have a child in the family. They were not in a hurry or cared about it. When she was young, Ling Xuan was self-confident and decisive, and she hated procrastination. For such a couple, a soft child was particularly annoying.
They don't like other people's children, and naturally they don't think about creating a little life to continue their lineage.
But this is just the wishful thinking of their husband and wife. There is a pair of old people on their heads.
Both Ling Xuan and Shi Xian were only children. After they got married, they bought a villa and took the two old people in. They hired a nanny to take care of the old people so that they could live a stable life in their later years. The two older couples have no special hobbies to pass the time. Their biggest wish is to let them have a good grandson, and even pretend to be sick one by one in order to trick the couple back.
Ling Xuan remembered that that year when she went home alone to visit her elders, a fierce quarrel broke out with her parents and in-laws. The four old people jointly attacked her. I don't know if it was her parents or Shi Xian's parents, but someone said: " Xuanxuan, you gave birth to the child for us, we also have a companion at home, I have some hope in my heart, as long as you give birth, we will take care of it, and we will definitely not trouble you and Shi Xian."
This sentence was unanimously approved by the two pairs of parents. They nodded to each other, and you said to me: "That is, we old bones will take care of you. Keep busy as you please. It is a good thing for young people to be ambitious. , but you can't ignore us, we want a good grandson... While we are still able to move, I will show you a little bit, and when you are older, this child can still honor you... This is not a good thing ?”
Ling Xuan sat on the sofa with a gloomy expression.
At that time, she was young and energetic, and her personality was extremely strong. Under the siege of the four old people, she finally let go: "Stop talking, I gave birth."
She raised her eyes, and there was an extremely cold light in her eyes: "It's agreed, I will be in charge of giving birth, and you will be in charge of raising them."
The four old people showed joy and nodded one after another. Ling Xuan did what she said, and after discussing with Shi Xian, she became pregnant not long after, which made the elderly in the family very happy. She couldn't wait to set up a series of baby products at home. Ling Xuan reacted very well during her pregnancy. Damn, Shi Xian was summoned back many times in a row, but was driven away by Ling Xuan.
Her pretty face had pimples due to pregnancy, her slender legs became swollen due to pregnancy, and she even suffered from pregnancy poisoning. Shi Xian rushed back in a state of desperation, but Ling Xuan drove them back.
She is a strong woman. Even if she is pregnant, she doesn't particularly need her husband's caresses. She only cares about the future of the company they created. The people she tortured were neither human nor ghost, but it was just a product to appease the parents of both parties.
After nine months, she finally gave birth to the baby, a natural delivery.
Ling Xuan lay pale in the delivery room, staring at the ceiling in cold sweat, thinking to herself, she was finally relieved.
She left the hospital the day after her natural delivery. As she said, she was only responsible for giving birth, and the upbringing was handed over to the four old people who had been longing for grandchildren. She didn't even look at the one who came out of her stomach. things at a glance.
Having said this, Zhen Yuanbai was stunned, he couldn't connect the heartless woman in the narrative with the kind Ling Xuan in front of him.
But it's not over yet. Elderly people, they all thought that you didn't want children before. It was because you didn't have children. Once you have children, you will definitely go home to see more, but Ling Xuan didn't. She left the day after the child was born, and has been Until the child was half a year old, she did not go home once.
Shi Xian was called back several times by his parents. One time, he hugged the soft child and called Ling Xuan under the persecution of his parents, "Do you want to come back..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ling Xuan interrupted her sharply: "I've given birth to their child, and the deal has been completed. How to raise it is their business. What does it have to do with me?!"
Grandma Shi hurriedly snatched the phone back. She also knew that her daughter-in-law was hot-tempered, so she coaxed her softly: "But you can't stop coming back to see him, can you? A child has no mother, what will he think when he grows up?"
Ling Xuan said: "When you let me give birth, you should have thought of this problem."
She hung up the phone.
Shi Xian was also very busy, his wife didn't stay at home, and it was useless to ask him to be a grown man, so the child who was less than half a year old was stuffed into the old man's arms again.
The old people hugged the soft grandson, and were at a loss for a while. The little guy was only half a year old and didn't know anything. But when he was one or two years old, what would he do without his parents? What would he think if he knew his mother was so heartless? This is simply not conducive to the growth of children.
What kind of psychological process the four old people have experienced is unknown, but when Shi Bufan was less than one year old, they hired a couple, and then Shi Bufan had a pair of parents who accompanied him all day, As for the other pair of parents, he has only seen once in a long, long time.
Ling Xuan would often receive photos and videos from the dutiful fake parents, who were very good with Shi Bufan, at least better than her. In the first few years, she was busy running around, and she would feel extremely disgusted when she saw emails. Later, when she happened to be abroad alone, she woke up in the middle of the night, and she saw the emails pushed on the computer. She accidentally clicked in and watched her son grow. The trajectory, turned back to the way he was when he was a child, he kept seeing the sun from dark to bright, and then from bright to dark, and again in the middle of the night, when he was hungry, he suddenly realized that he had missed such a cute little creature so much. for many years.
She always thought that her heart could be hardened for a lifetime.
Ling Xuan's eyelashes blocked the surging emotions in her eyes, Zhen Yuanbai sat aside blankly, subconsciously pulled out a tissue and handed it over.
"Don't you want to sleep? Why are you still sitting here?" Shi Bufan's figure suddenly came out, interrupting Zhen Yuanbai's thoughts, and he stood up abruptly: "Well, go to sleep right away."
"Go, I'll take you back." When Bufan stretched out his hand, Zhen Yuanbai subconsciously glanced at Ling Xuan, who still had a friendly smile on her face, and he said, "Auntie, I'm going back first."
Ling Xuan nodded, and subconsciously looked at Shi Bufan, but the latter didn't even give her a look, and walked out directly holding the little classmate's hand.
It was cold outside the door, Zhen Yuanbai looked at the hand that he was holding on to, it was slender and warm.
He thought of what Shi Bufan came to him that day and blurted out: They all treat me like shit.
Because he didn't have personal experience, he couldn't empathize with him for a while, but suddenly, he suddenly thought that if someone told him one day that Qin Ying and Zhen Pingjin were sent by others to play his parents, but the real parents would even look at him If he refuses, what would he think
The icy air swept over his limbs and bones in an instant, and Zhen Yuanbai suddenly shuddered violently.
He subconsciously looked at Shi Bufan, who turned his face in doubt: "What's wrong? Why are your hands so cold all of a sudden."
He grabbed Zhen Yuanbai's hand, breathed out, and said with a smile, "Why are you staring at me? Do you want me to carry you back?"
He raised his thin eyelids, but suddenly saw Zhen Yuanbai's face approaching suddenly, and his lips touched the corner of his smiling mouth.
"you… "
"Today's homework." Zhen Yuanbai said quickly: "Look, what are you looking at, don't return it to me."
