Su Yi tilted her head slightly and looked at Xu Ruoxing. Her heart softened because of Xu Ruoxing's words, and her tense nerves relaxed a little. Xu Ruoxing pulled her hand and said, "It's okay, Su Yi."
The two hands were clenched, and warmth covered the back of Su Yi's hands and spread into her heart.
It's okay, Su Yi.
Su Yi, this is not your fault.
Su Yi, you are just sick and you will get better.
Su Yi lowered her eyes, looked at the two hands clasped together, nodded, and responded softly: "Yeah, it's okay."
She will be fine.
It will definitely be fine.
Su Yi smiled calmly. Xu Ruoxing patted her hands and sat beside her to eat dinner. After dinner, Xu Ruoxing asked, "Grandma said you were very naughty when you were a child?"
Su Yi didn't expect that she still remembered what she said when she went to her grandma's house last time. She was embarrassed for a few seconds and asked back, "Weren't you naughty when you were a child?"
Xu Ruoxing said, "I'm not as naughty as you." She blinked and said, "I don't climb trees."
He was even taken down from the tree. Just imagining it was cute enough. Su Yi pursed her lips and said, "That was when I was a kid."
Xu Ruoxing nodded: "It must be more than just this one thing, right? What else?"
Su Yi was about to scold her, but when she thought of her childhood, she couldn't help but smile and said, "I also plucked my grandma's flowers."
This was totally not something Su Yi could do. Xu Ruoxing was very patient: "How did you pull it out?"
Su Yi said: "When I was a kid, I didn't recognize it and it didn't bloom, so I thought it was a weed and pulled it all out."
After pulling the hair out, she did not forget to take credit for it with her grandma who had just got off work. Her grandma was so angry that she almost fainted. When she thought of those things, she smiled and her eyes were soft. Xu Ruoxing looked at Su Yi who was talking, and she shed her cold outer shell. Now she seemed real.
Soft, longing for warmth, a little happiness can be remembered for a long, long time.
Xu Ruoxing held Su Yi's hand distressedly and asked, "What else?"
The light from the dining room shone on them. Xu Ruoxing led Su Yi to talk about many things from her childhood. After she was done, she asked Xu Ruoxing, but Xu Ruoxing really only remembered two things from her childhood. Her memory was not as good as Su Yi's.
Or maybe it’s not because of her bad memory, but because her childhood was ordinary and happy. Su Yi is different from her. The pain she experienced later made the happiness of her childhood particularly precious.
That's why I can't forget it.
On the way back, Xu Ruoxing and Su Yi also went to a famous night spot nearby. There were a lot of people around them. Xu Ruoxing took Su Yi to walk in the crowd. There were many office workers, so they didn't seem out of place. Su Yi always held Xu Ruoxing's hand tightly. When buying coffee, Xu Ruoxing received a call from Pei Yiran, and she said to Su Yi: "Wait for me a moment."
Pei Yiran had just returned to China and was informed by Xu Ruoxing's assistant when she landed that she had no concept of getting off work, so she contacted Xu Ruoxing immediately.
Xu Ruoxing was standing by the window while Su Yi was waiting in line. She heard Pei Yiran ask, "Mr. Xu, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Mom." Xu Ruoxing said, "Are you busy recently?"
Pei Yiran paused, feeling puzzled. Xu Ruoxing shouldn't be the type to ask about her. Pei Yiran asked, "Did something happen at the company?"
Xu Ruoxing did not hide it and said directly: "Something unexpected may happen to the show recently."
Pei Yiran thought for a few seconds: "I have a lawsuit recently, it's quite complicated, so I will turn it down for now."
