Uncle He came back, but Dad didn't see it. Little Cookie has not completely trusted this Uncle He.
She became anxious, dropped the snacks, carefully kept a few steps away from He Yiming, and asked several times, "Where is Dad?"
He Yiming could only say patiently, "Your dad fell into the water just now, go take a bath, it will be fine in a while."
Little Cookie asked, "Fell into the water? Why did it fall into the water?"
She hurriedly ran to the bathroom door and shouted to the door, "Dad!"
She didn't hear Su Pei's first sound, and she called twice: "Dad! Have you been flooded?"
Su Pei's voice came through the door dully: "I'm fine, you can go play."
Little Cookie didn't go away, and kept asking and answering Su Pei at the door.
He Yiming came over and wanted to lift her away and let Su Pei'an take a quiet bath. But the little girl was reluctant, as if she was afraid of something.
He Yiming could only go with her.
When Su Pei came out of the bathroom, Little Cookie was relieved.
He smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Dad and Uncle He are playing around."
Cookie was a little angry, and Dad seemed to be laughing at her making a fuss. She ran away to watch TV.
He Yiming was busy in the kitchen, he filled a bowl of thick hot ginger tea and forced Su Pei to drink it.
In the evening, Su Pei really regained his energy.
He Yiming's guests have arrived one after another. There are people from all walks of life, and some are from He Yiming's company. Originally, He Yiming also invited Yao Zhicheng, but he did not come because he wanted to accompany his wife to raise the baby at home.
He Yiming prepared plenty of drinks, food, and invited a famous DJ. He can also set off fireworks here. After night falls, fireworks are set off every hour, and everyone can see the splendid brilliance by the window. Little Cookie and a few local kids were running wild in the garden.
Su Pei was in a good mood after drinking and could chat with anyone. But he was happiest when he saw Lin Muyun.
"Sister Muyun!" As soon as he saw Lin Muyun, he gave her a big hug.
Lin Muyun is also a writer. Su Pei and her published a book in the same publishing house. When they first met, he took Lin Muyun and He Yiming to play a few times, and he wanted to match the two of them. Later, he realized that he had made an oolong— Lin Muyun doesn't like men, no matter how handsome He Yiming is. But they later became friends.
Today Lin Muyun brought his girlfriend too. Su Pei was very happy to see her and kept chatting with her about her new book.
It turned out that the director who wanted to make He Yiming's movie was Lin Muyun's girlfriend.
Her girlfriend has been trying to convince He Yiming to allow her to make this entrepreneurial film.
Lin Muyun said to Su Pei, "I'm not optimistic about this project at all. But she can only do whatever she wants. It is estimated that He Yiming will not let go easily."
Su Pei said, "Do you want me to persuade He Yiming?"
Lin Muyun shook his head: "No. Don't make He Yiming too proud."
At more than nine o'clock, Su Pei put down the wine glass, went to bring back the crazy little cookie, took her to the upstairs room, and told her to take a shower and go to bed earlier.
"I also want to New Year's Eve." Little Cookie was dissatisfied. The adults downstairs are still playing.
Su Pei didn't allow her to stay up late, and told her to go to bed after watching cartoons in the room for a while.
Little Cookie had another idea and said, "I want to make a video with my mother."
Her own phone can only make calls and texts, so she wants a smartphone.
Su Pei left the phone to Little Cookie, and once again told her daughter, "Don't play too late! I'll check the battery later."
After Su Pei explained, he went downstairs to the party again.
Little Cookie got the phone, lay on the bed and made a video call to her mother.
Shen Lan is in London.
After the divorce, she lived with her parents for a while before going to England. She has always had many suitors. After coming to the UK, she quickly entered a few circles and is now with an international student.
The holiday from Christmas to New Year is Shen Lan's favorite time. She is preparing for the New Year's Eve at night, and here comes the video of Little Cookie.
Shen Lan was in a good mood. As soon as she connected to the video, she immediately became intimate with Little Cookie "Kiss Baby" and "Sweetheart".
"Mom, what are you doing now?" Little Cookie usually doesn't tell Su Pei, but she still misses her mother. In her eyes, when her mother is happy, she is the most beautiful and best mother in the world.
Because of the jet lag, it was still bright over there. She turned her phone around and said, "Mom is decorating the living room, isn't it pretty? There will be many international students coming at night."
She also said that she bought a super cute windbreaker for Little Cookie, and she had asked an acquaintance to take it back, and asked Little Cookie to wear it and take a picture for her to see.
The mother and daughter chatted for a while about gifts and clothes, and the little cookie said, "Mom, I hugged several kittens today! It's very cute, it's a tricolor cat. My father said that I can go to ride a pony tomorrow, pick a kitten. strawberry!"
Shen Lan asked, "Did you wash your hands after touching the cat?"
Little Cookie is a little guilty, she doesn't remember much.
"I've taken a shower. I've taken a shower," she said quickly. "Although it's a rural area, it's very clean! And the house is so big and there are many intelligent robots in it, which is very fun."
Shen Lan sneered: "Where did your father take you? The countryside? When did your Su family have relatives in the countryside?"
Little Cookie said, "It's not a relative. It's Uncle He's house."
The scene of Shen Lan in the video paused for a second, and Shen Lan repeated, "Uncle He?"
"Yes, Uncle He. Dad said that Uncle He was his good friend and invited us over as a guest. We will stay here for three nights." Little Cookie hadn't noticed anything wrong.
Shen Lan's smile has disappeared.
"Is this Uncle He tall? Is he an old classmate of Dad?"
Little Cookie nodded.
In fact, Shen Lan didn't need to ask, who else could be Uncle He who was so "enthusiastic" around Su Pei, only He Yiming. He Yiming's silent and sinister face appeared in an instant, causing her blood pressure to soar in an instant.
"Mom?" Little Cookie thought her mother was distracted.
Shen Lan asked, "What did this Uncle He tell you?"
Little Cookie said, "Nothing. He doesn't talk to me very much."
She thought about it and told her mother everything that happened this afternoon.
He said that Dad went to take a bath when he came back from a walk. It seemed that he fell into a pond. Dad said that he was playing with Uncle He.
Shen Lan watched the video and said to Little Cookie, "Look at your location and tell me the address."
Before hanging up the video, Shen Lan said to Little Cookie, "We keep in touch. You can tell me what this Uncle He said to you. But don't tell your dad what we talked about. Okay?"
Little Cookie nodded obediently, she was more obedient to Shen Lan than Su Pei.
Shen Lan ended the video and looked at the new porcelain tableware that hadn't been unpacked yet. They were all going to be used this evening, but the good mood she just had just now disappeared. She took scissors and cut randomly on the packaging. After a few moments, he threw the scissors aside.
She remembered the past.
Her university is an art college, not far from Su Pei's university. At that time, she was sloppy about her profession, not too hard, and because her family was good, she didn't need to be a tutor, so she had a lot of time to play every day. There were many people chasing her, but she was either poor, ugly, or disgusted. Boring and greasy.
Later, when she went to dance at the next school, she met Su Pei. From the day she met Su Pei, her life seemed to press a crazy fast-forward button. They enjoyed every moment together, Su Pei wrote novel after novel for her with enthusiasm, and she was completely immersed in this intoxication - in these novels, she would always be young and beautiful.
In the two years after graduation, she seemed to be the happiest woman in the world. As soon as she graduated, she married a young and handsome husband, soon had a lovely child, was pampered, and did not have to work, she just bought things and traveled around.
Her friends and classmates had just started working, and some had not even found stable employment. She felt that she was happier than them.
But time never spared anyone. She ended at 28, and when she turned 29, she finally had a panic attack. My daughter grows up day by day, and is no longer a little baby who just needs to play and play. There are more and more places where money is used in the family, and the card debt cannot disappear out of thin air. Su Pei had to change careers as a screenwriter.
She suddenly found that her husband was tired of work, and the former passion was like a mirage. If there is no money and unlimited favor, she is just an ordinary housewife.
She has no job, no career. At this time, many of her classmates have improved, and many people have begun to perform on a larger stage. She has nothing.
In the end, both she and Su Pei collapsed. They can no longer live together.
At the age of nineteen, they danced in the dim lights of the auditorium, and at that moment they thought they had glimpsed the eternity of love. In fact, Eternal can only stay in Su Pei's novels.
This is her and Su Pei's story. Whether it is complete or broken, this is the karmic entanglement between the two of them.
So when he thought of He Yiming, who had been haunted all these years, Shen Lan felt a bad breath in his heart.
When she and Su Pei were just together, she only thought that He Yiming was an ordinary friend. Boys, there will always be a few friends. Later, she slowly realized that He Yiming hated her, and it didn't matter, because she also hated He Yiming.
She hated that He Yiming always asked Su Pei to hang out alone, hated He Yiming rushing to read Su Pei's novels in front of her, and hated that He Yiming denied her suggestions for Su Pei's novels, intentionally or unintentionally.
So many years! She and Su Pei were both divorced, and the man was still around Su Pei.
Shen Lan randomly piled the unorganized decorations aside. She went upstairs to the room to find her passport, opened the closet, and dragged out the suitcase.
Her boyfriend was typing papers at the desk, and she was startled: "What are you doing?"
Shen Lan simply said, "I want to go back."
"Where are you going back? My friends are going to come together for New Year's Eve soon!" The little boyfriend was stunned.
Shen Lan said, "Domestic, where my ex-husband is."
No matter how obsessed her face was with her boyfriend, she couldn't stand her freewheeling. He shouted: "Shen Lan, if you dare to go back, I will break up with you!"
Shen Lan didn't look back: "Goodbye!"
Her boyfriend was driven mad by her, lying at the window and yelling: "Shen Lan! I'm fucking you! Fucking your whole family!"
Su Pei was unaware of a riot brewing in London.
He settled the little cookies and continued the party. Had a good chat with Lin Muyun and Lin Muyun's girlfriend.
The party downstairs continued until sooner. After the New Year's Eve party, the drunken guests returned to the city, and some were picked up by drivers. Some He Yiming asked the farm staff to do the driving. Only Su Pei was the overnight guest.
Su Pei drank a lot of mulled red wine. He entered cold water today and needed a little more heat.
Now that the guests are gone, the housekeeping aunt simply packed up the rubbish and left. Only Su Pei and He Yiming were left in the living room.
Su Pei was lying on the sofa. He was already drunk and was slowly digging out the apples in the mulled wine with a spoon.
He Yiming's eyes quickly swept his hips and legs from his shoulders. He lay down on the sofa diagonally opposite Su Pei. He wanted to say something, but he had no energy now. His strength was struggling.
Su Pei spoke first, he was in a good mood. He turned his face to the side and said with a smile, "Now that I think about it, it's pretty funny..."
"What fun?" He Yiming asked in a low voice.
Su Pei said, "Winter swimming. Go into the water."
He waved his hand and made a swimming motion.
He Yiming laughed.
Su Pei said: "Such a reckless thing... Only you can do it... You are the most manly man I have ever met... "
He spoke drunkenly, but in the most sincere tone, with dreamy adoration.
The author has something to say: In Mr. Su's heart, Mr. He is the most manly man
