On the weekend, Su Pei took the little cookie to He Yiming's farm again.
Little Cookie still remembered what happened on New Year's Day. Her mother suddenly appeared and took her away, and said that she would not be allowed to play with this Uncle He in the future.
Before coming, Su Pei specially told her, "Uncle He injured his foot this time. Let's go see him. There's no need to tell your mother about this, you know?"
Little Cookie nodded, she didn't want to embarrass her father. But she still asked, "Why doesn't my mother like Uncle He?"
If you talk about this in detail, Su Pei has a lot to say. There are too many reasons for the character analysis of He Yiming and Shen Lan, the way they handle things.
He could only say to Little Cookie, "Uncle He is a very good person. It's just that sometimes good people and good people don't like each other and quarrel."
Little Cookie temporarily accepted this statement.
When he arrived at the farm, Su Pei saw Du He Yiming and felt that his feet looked more serious than in the photos. He Yiming now only has one foot that can land on the ground. If he walks with crutches, he also has an electric wheelchair as a means of transportation.
Su Pei stared at his legs and feet for a long time, sighing all the time, very heartache. What worries him even more is that He Yiming's spirit is not very good. He has dark circles under his eyes, and he is vaguely hostile.
"Aren't you resting here? Or is the injury too painful?" Su Pei asked.
He Yiming said, "Don't make a fuss, it's just a little injury. It's just that I have a little insomnia these two days, and I can't drink."
On the surface, he didn't care, but seeing Su Pei's nervousness and worry, he got a little satisfaction.
Although he didn't deliberately use this method to attract Su Pei's attention, it still played a role.
Little Cookie is interested in crutches and electric wheelchairs. Seeing the injured Uncle He, she is not as scared as last time. After a while, I ran to find the children I played with last time.
It was May, the sky was getting longer and the air was still warm in the evening. He Yiming said that when he remembered the activities, he asked Su Pei to give him the crutches.
He was on crutches, Su Pei supported him, and they walked slowly to the backyard. Su Pei saw a new big swing with two tires.
"For children to play." He Yiming explained.
Su Pei smiled and said, "Little Cookie must like it very much."
He Yiming didn't say that this was for Little Cookies. The scene where Little Cookie was taken away by Shen Lan last time, as well as the words Shen Lan said to him, kept lingering in his mind.
Su Pei said, "Are you thinking about what happened to Shen Lan last time?"
He Yiming looked at him.
Su Pei smiled and said, "Am I right with your eyes?"
He Yiming whispered, "How do you know?"
Su Pei motioned He Yiming to sit on the swing, he asked He Yiming to sit down, and then slowly pushed the swing, letting He Yiming sway and blow the wind.
"You have a competitive mentality. If she doesn't allow Little Cookie to meet you, you will definitely be nice to Little Cookie."
He Yiming said, "You see the problem very thoroughly."
Su Pei heard his faint sarcasm, he didn't care, he pushed He Yiming's back lightly, and said, "You said, we have known each other for more than ten years, how can we still be like children sometimes."
Perhaps because of He Yiming's injury, Su Pei took care of him as a younger brother today.
He Yiming thought, is Su Pei too pure and upright, or is he not gay at all? After more than ten years, has he really felt nothing? Or they are all the same, escaping the truth, and only by turning a blind eye to the truth can they get along without any psychological burden.
"Su Pei, how are you and that little assistant?" He Yiming suddenly changed the subject.
Su Pei's hand paused, and he said, "Did you hear what Lao Yao said?"
He only said a word to Lao Yao now, he didn't know which one was wrong that day.
He Yiming turned to look at Su Pei, "What's wrong? Is there any new progress?"
Su Pei was inexplicably guilty, and he didn't know what he was guilty of.
"It's not a new development, I didn't start with her. It's just that she made it clear."
He Yiming said, "What did she say?"
Su Pei said, "She didn't say it directly, but just asked if I could go to Thailand with her on her birthday. I asked her how many people went with her, and she said it was just me and her."
He Yiming almost sneered, he said, "She is so bold, she dares to go abroad to play with a man who is not a relative or an ancestor."
Su Pei said, "I haven't promised her yet."
He Yiming looked at him, "Do you want to? Are you thinking about it?"
Su Pei said, "No."
He Yiming was smoothed out and calmed down a bit. Su Pei supported the swing and said, "It's funny, when I used to be with Shen Lan, we went to London and Paris for our honeymoon with her, and we went to Switzerland in the year when "Reverse Dream" was published. After that, things got worse. . Now a girl invites me to go to Thailand with me, and I have a kind of…”
He Yiming asked quietly, "What?"
Su Pei answered him "Freshness."
They were silent for a few seconds at the same time. Su Pei thought, He Yiming would not know the melancholy in his heart at the moment.
"Don't criticize me. I do feel like I've been in a lifetime. It's like the first half of my life has passed, or even died, not only because of financial problems, but more importantly, my state will never return to the way it used to be. I won't love another woman like I loved Shen Lan when I was nineteen. It's not because Shen Lan is so special. Now I know that she is not the only rose in the world, and I'm just an ordinary person. But we are in A special age met, that age was arrogant, let the passions and fantasies rule, and it was time that made it all."
He Yiming sat on the swing, motionless.
He just thought that he met Su Pei at the same age.
There were low-pitched insects in the grass and trees around them, and they could smell the moist air of the land.
Su Pei said, "Sometimes I even feel that my success in those years was the same. I was lucky when I was young, and success came too easily, so it came and went quickly. Now I'm just back on the normal track, and Most people of the same age have the same troubles, divorce, work, and raising children. After really falling into life, it is too easy for people to be confused... "
He Yiming finally said, "So it's good to have a little freshness?"
Su Pei smiled helplessly, "It's not that simple. I probably won't go to Thailand with her. Without that time, too many things need to be arranged. What about the little cookie? To another possibility, isn't it? Imagine this possibility, it's like opening the window to change the air, nothing has changed in the room, but the air and mood are different. In short, it is the confession of a young girl, there is It helps the self-confidence of divorced men."
He Yiming struggled to get up from the swing, Su Pei quickly supported him, and the two walked back to the living room. He Yiming got into an electric wheelchair, and he skillfully maneuvered the wheelchair into the kitchen.
"Is it boring for you to listen to my long talk?" Su Pei asked gently.
He Yiming said gruffly, "Yes, a lot of nonsense!"
Su Pei heard that he was in a very bad mood, and he stopped saying anything. He helped He Yiming pour tea and hand it to him.
He Yiming suddenly said, "Inviting you to play in Thailand is not a confession, you don't have to be too happy."
Su Pei felt a little hot on his face. He knew that He Yiming was poisonous, so he had to be careful sometimes.
He forced a smile and said, "Then can I go?"
He Yiming wanted to smash his other foot again, but he couldn't control himself, "Maybe she just wants you to take her to play without having to spend money on her own. Maybe she doesn't care about ambiguity, and she still has a lot of youth to spare. Splurge, so it doesn't matter who you go to play with. So she didn't directly confess, you can accompany her to go abroad, but you will not be her boyfriend, fiancé. She likes you a little bit, but that's all."
Su Pei leaned against the table, his hands crossed his chest, and his complexion turned from red to white.
He knew that He Yiming had always looked at people very accurately, maybe Xiaoyan was really like what He Yiming said.
But why can't He Yiming be like Lao Yao? If it was Lao Yao, he would definitely say to him, "It's good, you should go out and play to relax." Give her a chance, and give yourself a chance. Go try it out.
Especially after he said that long paragraph to He Yiming. He'd already said, even just imagining, that taking a breath for some air would put him in a better mood.
He Yiming looked at Su Pei's face and knew that he had screwed up. But he couldn't change his words at this time, he was just too angry.
Su Pei looked at He Yiming's injured foot, and he endured it. The quarrel between him and He Yiming was turn-based. If they quarreled seriously, they would be mad at each other.
"Thank you," Su Pei said stiffly, "Thank you for your reminder, I will be careful."
At dinner time, Little Cookie came back from playing sweaty. She was still very excited and didn't notice that Su Pei was in a low mood.
The dinner was very rich, all crops from the farm, and fresh fish and meat. The housekeeping aunt made several home-style stir-fried dishes, stewed big bone soup for He Yiming, and filled a big bowl of big bones.
There is also a chicken meatball specially made for Su Pei. When the aunt was serving the dishes, she said, "Mr. He specially taught me to make this chicken ball. She said that Mr. Su, you have a bad heart, you need to supplement nutrition, but you can't eat too much greasy. It's not good to eat boiled chicken all the time, teach me to make this. , delicious and nutritious.”
Su Pei glanced at He Yiming, but neither of them spoke.
The little cookie was delicious, but she began to notice that today Dad and Uncle He spoke very little. They hardly chatted or even looked at each other very much.
After eating, Su Pei typed the script on the computer, and He Yiming sat on the other side of the sofa reading a book.
Little Cookie couldn't help being cautious, which reminded her of the air before her father and mother broke out into a quarrel. She can only be more cute.
She took a shower, put on a clean skirt, and whispered in Su Pei's ear, "Dad, let's rehearse."
Seeing her daughter's good behavior, Su Pei was in a better mood and said, "Okay, Dad is here to talk to you about the lines."
He closed the computer and said to He Yiming, "Do you want to watch Little Cookie's performance?"
He Yiming immediately asked, "What is she going to play?"
He sat close to Su Pei and was able to talk to Su Pei properly. He finally stopped the bug bite-like annoyance in his heart.
Su Pei said, "In "The Little Prince", she played Rose."
Little Cookie has already stood in the open space. She coughed twice, imitating Rose's charming and lovely gesture.
He Yiming whispered to Su Pei, "I'm sorry."
Su Pei shook his head, "Don't say sorry."
He Yiming said, "I just..."
Su Pei snatched his words, "I know, you don't want me to get hurt."
Little Cookie called out "Dad! Lines!"
They looked at Little Cookie together, and Su Pei smiled and said, "Wait, say it again."
