Since going to the picnic, Lin Qing clearly felt that the relationship between Xiao Sensen and Ji Huai had become closer.
In the past, he didn't like being taken alone by Ji Huai. If she was here, he would have to hold her with him. He liked to stick to her and look for his mother when he couldn't see her.
If she wasn't here, two hours would be too long to stay with Ji Huai. If he stayed any longer, he would go home and look for his mother.
Now he is gradually able to accept staying with his father, and he doesn't cry or make trouble when Ji Huai takes him back, but he doesn't stay overnight, and Lin Qing has to pick him up many nights, or come to sleep with him.
With Ji Huai's help and Lin Qing's work gradually becoming familiar, the preparation for the exam became smoother and smoother, and the two of them interacted more and more.
On this day, Lin Qing was eating at Ji Huai's end.
Because today was the weekend, he happened to have a rest, so he was at home with his son. He cooked some food in the evening and asked her to come over and eat together. After eating, he took Xiao Sensen back.
Not long after they had eaten, Luo Yantong called her again. What was funny was that when he was obviously trying to deduct employees' wages, he actually offered to increase her base salary by one thousand.
However, her tone sounded like she was a little ignorant, so Lin Qing was too lazy to speak, so she hung up again and was blacklisted.
It seemed quite urgent, and I guess this call was a frustrating one.
Chen Na told her about this, because her resignation caused a big fuss, and it turned into parents who thought the company was going bankrupt, so they made more noise and demanded a refund.
The losses caused further increased, so Luo Yantong could only lose face.
She ignored him, and later the second boss also called to act as a lobbyist. After hearing what the other party said, she still smiled half-heartedly, "Mr. Xu, how can there be any reason to go back after resigning? I just resigned, so I can only apologize."
These words made the other party speechless.
She didn't deliberately avoid it when she answered the phone. Ji Huai naturally heard it. After she hung up the phone, he asked her, "So angry? But it was probably the boss's acquiescence in letting you resign in the first place."
"It's not likely, it's definitely." Lin Qing's expression remained unchanged and she put the phone aside, "Luo Yantong doesn't have the ability yet. They were short-sighted at the beginning, what can they do now?"
This made Ji Huai laugh. He nodded while eating, "Indeed."
"Baby, eat some vegetables." Lin Qing picked up some vegetables for Xiao Sensen and put the steamed eggs in front of her son. She said slowly, "I'm a stubborn person. Even if you give me 30,000 to 50,000 yuan a month, I won't do it." I will go back again. If you don’t recognize me, why do you come to me again?”
She may not have meant what she said, but to Ji Huai's ears, it sounded like a beating, and the rice in the bowl suddenly no longer smelled good.
"Mom, I want some meat." Xiao Sensen raised his head and called her. Lin Qing looked at her son and gave her son another spoonful of steamed meat.
Ji Huai didn't talk much in the rest of the time and only focused on eating.
Lin Qing vaguely felt something was wrong. She observed him but couldn't see anything, but her sixth sense told her that something was wrong and she couldn't explain it.
She has a high level of quotient. She recalled her behavior at the dinner table and stopped at the words she said at the end.
An idea flashed through her mind, but it was too fast for her to catch.
The beginning of the month.
Fang He and others proposed to go out for a get-together again. It was said that Chen Na also wanted to change jobs, but Lin Qing felt that she was just talking. For her to change jobs, she might have to wait until the company went bankrupt, but looking at the situation, she might not be able to survive this year. .
When Ji Huai went to pick up Xiao Sensen, Lin Qing was really relaxed about her time, so she made an appointment with a few people.
The location is in a famous stir-fry shop, and you can also have barbecue directly after your meal.
After arriving, she found that Xu Rui was also there.
"I just met Teacher Xu when I got off work, and then I said I wanted to have dinner with you. Teacher Xu was also alone, so we came together." Chen Na explained.
"Long time no see." Lin Qing smiled lightly but didn't say anything.
"Long time no see." Xu Rui also greeted her, still a little at a loss in his behavior.
Li Xia and Fang He were already sitting on one side, Chen Na was sitting inside, and Xu Rui was sitting on the other side, leaving only a seat next to him.
Lin Qing had no choice but to sit next to him, but she didn't think much about it and was frank, but Xu Rui's eyes were nowhere to be found.
"Teacher Xu blushed." Li Xia was a joker, so she immediately started teasing.
"My ears are red too." Fang He also smiled, looked at him and said, "Teacher Xu, do you like our teacher Lin?"
Lin Qing had no choice but to put the menu in front of them and changed the subject, "Aren't you hungry? Order something to eat."
Fang He took it but still smiled.
Xu Rui became even more nervous. When the waiter came to pour tea, he first handed the cup in front of him to Lin Qing.
Xu realized that there would not be many opportunities to meet in the future, so he still had to seize the opportunity, so this time no matter how many people teased him, he acquiesced, with a smile on his lips, as if he was hinting something.
The atmosphere became more and more ambiguous. In addition to interrupting to clarify, Lin Qing also had more and more headaches.
At the end, Fang He said seriously to Xu Rui, "Mr. Xu, if you really like our teacher Lin, then you have to be more serious."
This sentence has meaning. Everyone present knows that Lin Qing has been divorced once and has a child. Xu Rui seems to have never been in love and is one year older than Lin Qing. To be honest, the resistance is not small. .
Hearing this, Xu Rui's face changed. He didn't answer immediately, and his face still showed a trace of embarrassment.
"You guys are looking at Mr. Xu and joking around. Be careful not to overdo it." Lin Qing interrupted again with a smile, urging them to eat quickly.
This topic was not brought up again.
Because Li Xia still had something to do, she didn't stay long, and she checked out shortly after finishing her meal.
They walked separately, but Xu Rui followed Lin Qing. When he walked up to her, he seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage, "Teacher Lin, shall I take you back?"
"No, I can go back by myself." Lin Qing declined.
"It's okay. I'm going to your house too. I have something to do. How about we go together?" Xu Rui didn't want to let go of the opportunity.
"How do you know where I'm going?" She turned slightly, looked into his eyes, and said slowly, "My son is still with my ex-husband, I have to pick him up."
Xu Rui's expression was stiff and stiff, as if hesitating and struggling. This emotion completely fell in Lin Qing's eyes. She pursed her lips, smiled and said, "Teacher Xu, you and I are not from the same world." People, don’t bother, I have children to take care of, and I’m not planning to get married again.”
Once divorced, everything becomes bearish.
Although she is not very old, in the past few years of marriage, many of her beautiful expectations for love and marriage have been crushed, and she is not as comfortable as being single.
"I don't mind." Xu Rui replied to her, but she could still hear a hint of lack of confidence.
Lin Qing was beautiful, with a slender figure, and showed no sign of giving birth to a child. He liked her appearance and temperament very much. Sometimes he even felt that if she hadn't been divorced, he wouldn't have had the chance, but she was still a little small. Mind, a little pimple, in an ambivalent state of mind.
"It's not that you don't mind, maybe you're unwilling, maybe you want to get it, but it's really impossible for us." Lin Qing sighed, "I'm going back first, and I have to pick up the child. Teacher Xu, please be careful on the way. "
Xu Rui looked at her back and did not pursue her. He wanted to follow her, but he couldn't move forward.
Lin Qing entered the subway, leaned to the side, and went from station to station. From time to time, she could see the lights of thousands of houses outside. She lowered her eyes and turned up the volume in her earphones.
Even though I feel that I am already invulnerable, why do I still feel a little lonely and sad
Her own shadow shines across from her. She is not as young as a flower, but she has always looked good. Her face is young, her figure is well managed, her skin is fair and smooth, and she graduated from a prestigious school. She has high quotients and has always been popular. Yes, there is an aura, and it even makes people feel that they are favored by fate.
Where is she now
I lost my job, got divorced, and lived with my son. In the eyes of others, I was a "loser", "poor person", "object of sympathy"...
Humans are social animals. Since we live in society, we cannot escape other people's opinions of ourselves and will be affected by these opinions.
In a rather bad mood, she arrived at Ji Huai's residence.
He recently changed the combination lock and told her the code, so she could open the door and go in without waiting for him to open the door.
Ji Huai was sitting on the sofa in his pajamas, leaning forward slightly. There was a computer in front of him. He was typing. When he saw her coming in, he stopped what he was doing and looked at her, "Are you back?"
The tone didn't sound bad, but Lin Qing became furious when she saw him now, "Where's Sensen?"
"Sleeping." Ji Huai pointed to the master bedroom.
"I'll take him back to sleep." Lin Qing walked to the room.
Ji Huai felt that her mood was not right, so he stood up and followed her, "Why do you want to go back suddenly? He just fell asleep, and he is not close. He can just sleep here."
During this period, as long as Xiao Sensen slept, she could only be here, so there were gradually other supplies for her in this house. There was no other way but to use them.
"I don't want to see you today." Lin Qing did not hide her emotions, her clear eyes were filled with a trace of anger, "I especially don't want to see you today!"
"What did I do to you?" Ji Huai was confused.
"I just don't want to see you." Lin Qing got angry looking at him, "You don't want to talk, I'm very annoyed."
"I helped you take care of your son for a day, and you came back from a dinner party and got angry at me. Lin Qing, I was also very angry." Ji Huai couldn't bear to be scolded by her, and his face turned half dark.
"Help me take care of it?" Lin Qing seemed to have heard some joke, "Isn't that your son? Don't say help me every time, and don't forget your own purpose. If I don't pass the exam, you will have to raise the child. You are afraid. Isn’t it this?”
"I will speak out if I am dissatisfied. Ji Huai, you are different. You will use another method to force me coldly and violently, just like you forced me to divorce!"
"Others think that I took the initiative to get divorced. I am very stubborn and seem to have a lot of personality. In fact, I was divorced invisibly. You know this better than anyone else."
…
She just wasn't happy. As soon as the marriage was divorced, Ji Huai patted her butt and left. She gritted her teeth and pieced together her miserable life with tears in her eyes.
Many of these hardships were brought about by him. Sometimes she felt really sad, complaining about why fate played such a trick on her. I can’t even give my children a complete home.
Ji Huai was disappointed and did not fight back. Instead, he asked, "What aroused you again?"
Lin Qing also noticed that she was too excited and was slowly calming down. She sat aside and did not go in for fear of disturbing her son.
He didn't say anything, and after a while he looked at her and said, "I did have something wrong with the divorce, and I admit it, but I was really busy and under a lot of pressure at the time, so much so that I wanted to escape from married life."
"Cowardly and cowardly." Lin Qing sneered.
Put the pressure on her, garbage.
"Xiao Qing, isn't this in the past? I will try my best to compensate you and the child. I'm sorry." Ji Huai didn't say anything after being scolded. He sat aside and said, "The baby is asleep. He has to go to class tomorrow, so don't bother. Him."
Lin Qing said nothing and looked sideways at Ji Huai, "Why are you pretending to care about your child now? Didn't you rush to go on a business trip when you had a fever? You didn't show much concern when you called me back."
Pretending.
Ji Huai was extremely helpless, stretched out his hand to rub his eyebrows, lowered his head and said slowly, "I love Sensen no less than you do."
Of course, he was talking about now.
Lin Qing sat and said nothing. She didn't want to discuss the past with him. There was no point in discussing the past.
"I didn't know how to do it before, but now I'm learning to be a qualified father. I will take care of Sensen with you." Ji Huai said again.
"What about after you remarry? Can you stay like this after you remarry?" Lin Qing glanced at him, "I don't want to listen to your so-called promises. Those are all illusory things. I want something practical. "
It doesn't matter how nice you say it.
Those so-called emotions will be gone if you marry another person.
"What is something practical?" Although Ji Huai guessed a little, he still asked.
Lin Qing didn't hesitate and said directly, "How much is the monthly alimony? The more money, the better I can provide Sensen with a better education. When he grows up, I can train one or two Hobbies require more money. If he goes abroad for further study in the future, will you be able to pay for it? Together, they can provide him with more study funds. House prices are so expensive now. If he needs funds for marriage in the future, will you be able to pay for it? "
"These are very practical things."
When she finished speaking, there was a trace of sarcasm in her eyes. She wanted to fight for her child, but these seemed to have violated Ji Huai's bottom line.
Doesn’t the other person like to say nice things? She doesn't want to hear these nice words, it's a waste of time!
She was waiting for Ji Huai to blow up, and she would probably be rejected very strongly by him to see if he would still maintain the face of being a good father.
"Yes." Ji Huai answered simply, without any evasion in his eyes, as he met her eyes, "I will not consider remarrying, and I will try my best to contribute money. I will not treat Sensen badly or treat you badly."
Lin Qing didn't expect him to say that, and she was stunned. Looking at his deep gaze, her eyes were a little dodgeful, and she said with force, "What does it have to do with me?"
What do you mean you won't treat her badly
"I will also try my best to make it up to you." Ji Huai's voice slowed down and he continued her words.
"You can't make up for it." Lin Qing was affected by her inner emotions and didn't want to look at him.
Ji Huai was also silent, and in the end he could only say sorry.
"I won't forgive you."
Lin Qing dropped her words and walked in to accompany her son without looking at Ji Huai's expression.
In fact, tears welled up in her eyes. Ji Huai was indeed changing and getting better. She sometimes thought that if he had been like this at that time, even if he was a little better, the two of them would not have divorced.
She actually didn't want to have too many other interactions with Ji Huai. At least when she said domineeringly that he couldn't make up for it, she should be arrogant and independent and not need him.
But things went against expectations. Lin Qing had a fever the next day, which made her dizzy.
