Xia Dabai really wanted to have a little sister to play with him. He was full of expectations, but he was disappointed when he heard his father's words, "... But, didn't you say it yourself, Xiaobai, that if two people sleep together, they will have a baby? I didn't even bother you last night! So, was I deceived?"
so…
She waited until he fell asleep last night before going there, but in the end, the little thing still found out that she was not with him
Xia Xingchen was extremely embarrassed.
Bai Yeqing said, "Sleeping once is not enough, you need to sleep many, many times. So, if you really miss your little sister, let your mother sleep with me in the future."
After a pause, he added solemnly: "Just me and her!"
This man!
Xia Xingchen really wanted to tell him to shut up. Can he still have a good breakfast
Xia Dabai bit his chopsticks and thought for a long time, then looked at him suspiciously, "Xiaobai, are you lying to me? I think you just want to get rid of me and keep Dabao all to yourself, so you lied to me that you could have a little sister."
Bai Yeqing nodded at someone who was no longer able to interrupt, "If you don't believe me, ask your Dabao."
Xia Dabai turned his little face towards her. Xia Xingchen tried to remain calm, "Well, Xiaobai lied to you. From now on, Mommy will only sleep with you."
"..." Without raising his head, he could feel the sharp gaze from the man opposite him, shooting at him like a knife.
She smiled and decided to ignore him. Xia Dabai was very conflicted. He wanted Dabao to sleep with him, but what if they could really have a little sister
… … … …
Xia Xingchen watched Bai Yeqing get in the car and leave. She waited for the driver to pick up Xia Dabai and tidied up the house. Chi Weiyang came over and knocked on the door, and accompanied her to the hospital.
When the two arrived at the hospital, Shen Min had just woken up. Chi Weiyang greeted her, put away the fruits and flowers she had bought, talked for a while, and then hurried back to work. At 9 o'clock, the medical staff took Shen Min out for various preoperative examinations, and then sent her directly to the operating room.
Xia Xingchen was waiting alone outside the operating room, feeling somewhat panicked. But Fu Yichen said that Dr. Jing's medical skills were completely trustworthy, so he really was trustworthy.
At 10 o'clock, there was still no movement in the operating room. Xia Xingchen did not dare to leave, and just sat there waiting.
"Xingchen." Suddenly, footsteps and a familiar voice sounded. She looked up and saw her father Xia Guopeng appear on the corridor. She was not surprised that he would come.
"Dad." Xia Xingchen stood up. Xia Guopeng walked closer and glanced at the operating room. He didn't ask anything, but that look said it all. Xia Xingchen said, "The doctor is a very capable doctor. There shouldn't be any problem."
"How long have you been in there?"
"About an hour. It may take quite a while before we get out."
Xia Guopeng nodded, then stood there for a while, staring at the operating room for a while, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long time, he came back to his senses and said, "Sit down. Sit down and wait."
The father and daughter sat down side by side. Xia Xingchen glanced at him and found that he already had white hair on his temples.
"… Why didn't he come?" Xia Guopeng asked after thinking for a long time.
"Who?" Xia Xingchen asked subconsciously, and seeing Xia Guopeng's gloomy expression, she suddenly realized who he was talking about—the 'husband' that her mother had woven and never existed. She said "Oh" and then said, "... Maybe he was busy, so I didn't ask much."
His brows knitted tightly together, "No matter how busy you are, this is still an operation, and it's such a big operation, why don't you accompany me?"
Xia Xingchen wanted to say something, but after opening his lips, he remained speechless.
Xia Guopeng seemed to realize that he was not qualified to say this now. In the end, he did not say another word. The father and daughter sat in silence for several hours.
She thought her father would be impatient, but after four or five hours, he didn't show any sign of impatience. Although he was anxious, he still waited patiently.
Shen Min was wheeled out of the operating room. She had not yet woken up from the anesthesia, her eyes were closed, and she had an oxygen tube inserted. She looked exhausted, and her face was pale.
Xia Xingchen walked over quickly and held her mother's hand. Her hand was cold.
Xia Guopeng stood there in a daze for a long time, his hands hanging by his side tightening and tightening. At a distance not too far from her, he looked at the woman lying there with complicated eyes, with all kinds of emotions fluctuating in his eyes. They were so close, but yet so far away...
The sound of rollers gradually disappeared in the corridor, and finally, after entering the VVIP ward, Xia Guopeng slowly came to his senses.
In a blink of an eye, I haven't seen her for so many years...
I thought that all the deep love and regrets I once had would be gone because of the lack of contact in the past few years. But now, the heart in my chest that has been silent for many years has begun to become restless again.
In the ward.
After settling everything, Xia Xingchen listened to Jing Yu's explanation and then realized that her father was not there. She walked out and saw Xia Guopeng standing outside the door.
"Dad, why don't you come in?"
"Well, I won't go in..." Xia Guopeng looked over her shoulder and took a deep look inside. After so many years, Shen Min was still as he remembered her, very quiet when she was asleep.
Xia Xingchen didn't force it. In fact, her mother had always been deliberately avoiding her father. Now that she was in a bad condition, she would avoid seeing him if possible. Xia Guopeng said, "Don't tell your mother that I was here."
She nodded, "I know."
Xia Guopeng was leaving, Xia Xingchen wanted to take him downstairs, but he refused, asking her to go downstairs and take good care of Shen Min. Xia Xingchen was also worried about her mother, so she did not follow.
Just looking at her father's lonely back, she couldn't help but feel a little sad. If she could go back to the past, she thought, her father would probably not take the same path as now, but there is no "if" in this world.
I can’t get my father’s loyalty back, their marriage can’t be restored, and my mother’s youth can’t be restored either…
… … …
In the following days, Shen Min's recovery improved. Xia Guopeng actually came quite often, but every time, he would take advantage of Shen Min's sleep and bring her favorite dishes.
I always put it in a thermos cup to keep it warm.
"Did you make these dishes yourself?" Shen Min liked them very much. After eating them for three consecutive days, her complexion looked much better.
Xia Xingchen recalled her father's conflicted, lost and tangled look when he first left. She felt sorry for him and wanted to say something, but stopped herself. Shen Min looked at her, "What's wrong? Do you have something to say to mom?"
"No." Xia Xingchen shook his head and decided to wait until his mother got better. He just said, "If you like it, eat more. You will have it every day in the future."
Shen Min felt that this smell was very familiar, and it was very similar to the smell she had before...
But, after all... it is impossible...
