Su Yi finally agreed to Ms. Xu's request. Firstly, she felt a little bit that Sheng San was adorable. Secondly, she was really bored recently. She could move into a bigger house, be picked up by a luxury car, and get a salary. Why wouldn't she agree to such a good thing
There is another point, although he is reluctant to admit it, the devil who thinks he is cold-blooded and ruthless is actually not able to be so cruel as to reject a mother who is wholeheartedly caring about her child.
However, in order to avoid herself from being bored again, she asked Ms. Xu for some work. She did not stay as a guest as originally agreed. After all, the term "distinguished guest" sounds nice, but it is actually a bit awkward. Instead, she worked as a flower arranger - or to put it more nicely, a freelance florist.
It just so happened that the original owner had taken courses in flower arrangement, art appreciation, etc. Su Yi was a photographer in the previous world, and he felt that he had some aesthetic taste, so he should be able to fool people by arranging a few flowers.
When she leaves the ecological park in the future, maybe she can make a living from this. After all, she used to be the Sheng family's exclusive florist, so of course she has to raise this banner!
That night, after taking Su Lian home, Sui mentioned this matter to her son.
"Moving?" The child opened his eyes wide, panic flashed in his eyes, pursed his lips, tugged at the corner of his clothes with his fingers, and asked cautiously: "Take me with you?"
Su Yi was stunned for a moment, then hugged the little boy, ruffled his soft hair with his hands, and said, "Are you stupid, son? Who else should I take with me if not you? You didn't think I was going to abandon you and were about to cry, did you?"
"I didn't cry!" Su Liyan struggled hard in her arms and refused to admit it.
Su Yi laughed, hugged him and said with a sly smile: "Don't cry, baby, mommy will hug you."
The child's face turned red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or embarrassed. Finally, he broke free from Su Yi's clutches and ran into the bathroom.
"Do you want mommy to give you a bath, baby?" Su Yi shouted from behind, not even bothering to hide the smile in her words.
The angry little brat banged the sink so hard that it made a loud noise.
The next afternoon, Ms. Xu sent a car to pick them up. Su Yi carried two suitcases, one large and one small, to the kindergarten to pick up Su Lian, and then took the car to the ecological park.
"Is Sheng Hengrong there too?" Su Lian asked.
Su Yi flipped through the magazine and shook her head. "He lives in his own home, but he might come over on weekends. Why, do you miss him? Did you make new friends in kindergarten?"
The brat muttered under his breath.
"What?" Sue tilted her head to look at him.
Su Li'an said louder: "Their games are childish. I don't want to play with them."
Sue didn't know what to say for a moment. Her five-year-old son thought other children were childish. She really wanted to ask him if he knew how to write the word childish.
She thought for a moment and said, "If you think they are childish, you can play some non-childish games with them. If you just complain on the sidelines, you can't change anything and you will always be alone."
Su Lian frowned, not quite understanding.
It was already evening when the car drove into the villa area of the ecological park. The sunset glow covered half of the sky, dyeing the whole world crimson.
It is beautiful here and very private, with lush vegetation isolating and hiding the villas.
Su Yi got out of the car with the child. The warm breeze blew her skirt, and the wind brought the freshness of grass and the fragrance of flowers.
The whole villa was brightly lit, and people were busy walking around from time to time. Only in one room on the second floor, the curtains were closed and the light was extremely dim, making it impossible to tell whether there was anyone inside.
Su Yi remembered that Sheng San seemed to be standing by this window that day. It should be his bedroom or study.
The driver helped her carry the luggage in. Uncle Gu had already arranged guest rooms for her. There were two connected rooms on the second floor, quite close to Sheng San's room. Ms. Xu did not live here.
Su Yi accompanied Su Li'an to wash his hands and face, packed his luggage for him, and then went downstairs to eat together.
Perhaps because the host family likes quietness, there are few people at the dining table. Most of the people who were walking around before were staff members of the villa area, and they all left at this time. The only people downstairs are Uncle Gu who invited them to come downstairs for dinner, and a middle-aged woman who is busy in the kitchen. Her name is Qin Ma. These two people really work for the Sheng family.
Sheng Yunzhou still didn't show up. Su Yi asked politely, and Uncle Gu said that he was having dinner in his room.
So she and Su Li'an occupied the long dining table. Facing a table full of food, although the child ate in a relatively polite manner, Su Yi found that he picked up his chopsticks more frequently than at home.
Well, her cooking skills are just passable, but they are certainly not comparable to Qin Ma's. It's like the gap between an apprentice and a chef.
The person who was most happy to see their good appetites was Qin's mother herself. She had been in the Sheng family for decades, and the several hosts she had served had smaller appetites than each other. Now that two such supporters had come, she suddenly felt full of energy. Before she had even finished her dinner, she had already asked Su Yi and Su Li'an what they wanted for supper.
The staff didn't know the real reason why Su Yi appeared here, but Uncle Gu and Qin's mother knew it, and Ms. Xu didn't want to hide it from them.
Letting a grown-up person move in for no reason, just because another person might be happy seeing him, this kind of thing would only seem absurd to others, but to the two people who watched Sheng Yunzhou grow up, they did not think there was anything wrong with it - this house should have had more people living in it a long time ago.
After dinner, Sui took Sulian for a walk in the garden to prevent the child from overeating.
The castle they built last time was still there. When Su Li'an saw it, he immediately ran over and walked around the sand. He saw a few signs of collapse, so he rolled up his sleeves and squatted down to reinforce it. Halfway through, he remembered something and asked Su Yi expectantly, "Can I play with the sand for a while?"
Su Yi nodded, "Play for half an hour, then take a shower."
The children were playing there. She walked to the place where she had chatted with Lin Luoluo last time and sat down, smelling the fragrance of flowers in the night breeze and staring at the night sky in a daze for a while.
Without her noticing, the curtains in the room on the second floor were slightly opened.
No child could resist the charm of sand. Although half an hour was agreed upon, in the end, Su Lian was urged by Sui to take a bath.
If the kid listened to her when she first came, now he dared to play tricks on her and delay. Su Yi didn't know whether she should be happy that she was competent enough and the kid was close to her, or worried that the kid would be difficult to teach in the future.
The mother and son each had a room. As this was new to the place, Su Yi was worried that the child might be shy, so she stayed in Su Lian'an's room and waited until he fell asleep before leaving.
It was late at night. In the garden outside the window, insects kept chirping. In the small woods behind the house, unknown birds cried from time to time at night. By the small river a little further away, frogs croaked continuously.
All these sounds made the villa even quieter.
Earlier, with Su Yi's hearing ability, he could still hear the sound of Uncle Gu walking in the corridor, but now even he has gone to rest.
She yawned, rubbed the hair on the quilt, and slowly closed her eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, she was suddenly awakened by a small noise. She listened carefully and confirmed that it was Su Lian's voice. The child seemed to be knocking on the door and calling her, but it was not her door that was knocked.
Su Yi immediately turned over and walked out while tidying up her pajamas. The closer she got to the door, the clearer Su Lian's voice became. At the same time, she heard the sound of another door opening.
The child's unique voice suddenly stopped. Su Li'an probably realized that he had knocked on the wrong door. He paused for a few seconds before saying helplessly in a crying voice, "I, I'm looking for my mother..."
The other party's answer was a series of suppressed coughs.
That wasn't Uncle Gu, and Aunt Qin was downstairs. Apart from them, there was only -
Su Yi opened the door and saw Su Lian dragging a pillow, standing outside the door on the other side of his room. A man in his thirties, tall and thin, was standing inside the door. His hands clasped on the door frame were slender and pale. He was also wearing pajamas, with buttons buttoned to the top, the hems and cuffs neatly arranged, without a single wrinkle on his body. He stood so straight and straight that one would wonder if he had just gotten out of bed.
When Su Liyan saw her, he immediately ran over and threw himself into her arms.
Su Yi touched his head soothingly, "Are you having a nightmare?"
The child said pitifully, "I want to sleep with you..."
"Okay," Sue said, "You can sleep in my room for three nights, then you have to sleep on your own, or your friends will laugh at you."
Su Liyan rubbed against her arms for a while, then felt embarrassed, blushed, lowered his head and said "hmm".
Su Yi smiled, took his hand and walked to the door of another room.
Sheng Yunzhou seemed to be about to close the door, but when he saw them coming, he stopped what he was doing. However, he still stood inside the door and had no intention of coming out.
Su Yi said apologetically: "Children are familiar with their own beds. I'm sorry."
"Ahem... It's okay."
This was the first time Su Yi heard Sheng Yunzhou speak. His voice was a little hoarse, and it was unclear whether it was due to coughing or because he rarely spoke.
It was late at night and she was not going to talk to anyone. Just as she was about to say good night, she heard the sound of the door opening and closing. It was Uncle Gu who heard the noise and came out. His hair, which was smooth and neat during the day, was now a little messy.
When he saw Sheng Yunzhou, he was startled at first, then he walked over quickly and wanted to support him, but the other party waved his hand to refuse.
Uncle Gu then looked at Su Yi and the others and asked, "Why is Miss Su awake? Didn't you sleep well?"
Su Yi had to explain again. She could see that getting up in the middle of the night was a burden on Sheng Yunzhou's body. His fingertips were slightly white and almost bloodless as he held the door handle. Uncle Gu wanted to help him, but he didn't dare to because of the other party's previous refusal.
It felt like he would fall down if he stood any longer.
Su Yi touched Su Li'an's head and said, "Stop disturbing you, son. Say goodnight to your uncle."
Su Li'an stuck to Su Yi, looking up at Sheng Yunzhou, and just as he opened his mouth, Uncle Gu suddenly remembered something and said, "The generations are wrong. Your son and Rongrong are of the same generation, so you should call him uncle."
