When Lu Haici heard his mother's question and thought of Chen Zhou's words, he fell silent.
"What's wrong? Can't you tell your parents?" Seeing that the little boy was silent, Lin Qingqing asked softly. The little boy can have his own secrets. But Lin Qingqing saw that his expression was not right, so what happened must have made him unhappy. In this case, she wanted to ask clearly. She could give him advice from the perspective of an observer.
Lu Haici pursed his lips, a little nervous. But he had never lied to his mother before, so he didn't know how to start. He was also afraid that his mother would be angry after he told her.
But if he didn't say it, he couldn't keep it to himself.
"If you have anything to say, just say it directly." Lu Cheng said, "Be a real man, don't hesitate. If you don't say it, your mother will think too much and worry. Speak out, and if there is any problem, we can solve it together."
Lin Qingqing didn't say anything. After she and Lu Cheng clearly expressed their origins, she would not interfere when Lu Cheng educated Lu Haici. In the past, she could say a few words as a mother, but now it's not the case, so she naturally won't say anything.
Lu Haici shrank his neck when his father said that, and then whispered: "That's... That's... Chen Zhou said that his mother said that in the future... in the future, when my mother has a little brother, she won't... won't love me anymore..." When he said this, his voice was a little choked, and he didn't have the confidence to speak. After he finished speaking, he lowered his head, and the hands that were holding his parents' clothes were shaking.
Lu Cheng held his son's trembling hand and said, "No." He said firmly, "Even if mom and dad have little brothers and sisters in the future, you will always be the first child that dad loves."
Lu Haici did not doubt his father's love for him, but... he looked at Lin Qingqing, he was worried about his mother.
Lin Qingqing also held her hand: "I love Lu Haici the most, too. Lu Haici is my most beloved little baby. Maybe you will have little brothers and sisters in the future, but my love for them is the same as my love for Lu Haici. Moreover, I love Lu Haici several days more than I love little brothers and sisters. Because before the little brothers and sisters came, I already loved little Lu Haici deeply."
Lu Haici's face flushed when his mother said that. Although he was a little shy, he was also a little boy who knew how to express himself. So when he heard his mother say that, he immediately hugged her and said, "I also loved you deeply before my little brother and little sister came."
"Thank you for your love, little Lu Haici. I am very happy." Lin gently rubbed his head. "So, I will love little Lu Haici even more."
"Hey." Lu Haici also answered happily, and because of his happiness, his voice was very loud, "I will love my mother even more, and I will love my little brothers and sisters in the future. I will take them out to play, share delicious food with them, and if others bully them, I will help them fight."
Lin Qingqing: "Hai Ci is such a good brother. However, you can play with your little brothers and sisters, and you don't have to share the delicious food with them. You can eat with them. If someone bullies them, you should first distinguish between right and wrong. Similarly, if you, Hai Ci, are bullied by others, your little brothers and sisters should help you. You are brothers and sisters, and you are both good children of your parents."
"Okay, I understand, Mom." Lu Haici had never been so happy, even happier than when her mother kissed her.
Lu Cheng watched them interacting, his eyes flickering slightly, and his thoughts became more determined.
The three of them returned home and began to divide the work of washing.
Lu Cheng washed Lu Haici, dried his body, and put him in the big bed. After Lin Qingqing washed herself, she went to the room.
Seeing this, Lu Cheng came to the door of the room.
Boom boom boom…
"Who is it?" Lin asked gently.
Lu Cheng: "It's me, I want to talk to you."
"Okay, wait a minute." After a while, Lin Qingqing went to open the door. She changed into her home clothes, long pants and a long-sleeved T-shirt. She looked much more dignified and not as casual as before. "Come in."
Lu Cheng followed her into the house. He did not look around, but looked at Lin Qingqing. His eyes were clear, but if you looked closely, you could still find some suppressed fluctuations.
"It's tiring to talk standing up, why don't you sit on the stool over here." Lin Qingqing said. She had brought the stool in to store things, but she didn't expect Lu Cheng to come, so she just let him sit on it.
"No, I'll stand." Lu Cheng said, "You can sit."
Lin Qingqing looked at his height. Whether he was standing or she was sitting, the way they looked up was similar.
Lu Cheng seemed to realize this, and he explained: "I am used to reporting things while standing, please sit down." Only those at the level of regiment commander and above can make him report things while standing, and similarly, the matter that requires him to report things while standing shows that this matter is also very important. Lu Cheng put Lin Qingqing in such a position, which shows that he values this matter.
After he said that, what else could Lin Qingqing say? She could only sit down and look up at him. She wanted to say, her neck was so sore.
"Lin... Can you tell me what your name is in the future world?" Lu Cheng asked cautiously.
Lin Qingqing smiled: "What a coincidence, my name is also Lin Qingqing." So, this was specially arranged for traveling through the book.
Hearing this, Lu Cheng was stunned for a moment. It was indeed a coincidence. So the name had to be the same when the corpse was reborn? "Comrade Lin, my name is Lu Cheng, I'm 28 years old, 183 cm tall, I have a five-year-old son, I'm married, and I want to talk to you about three things."
Lin Qingqing: "... Please go ahead."
Lu Cheng said carefully and solemnly: "First of all, I would like to ask you to give me three years. If she has passed away, I would like to regard the day you came as her death anniversary and keep vigil for her for three years. After three years, if she has not come back, I would like to pursue you and date you. But by then, I will be a widower." He kept vigil for Lin Qingqing for three years and pursued her as a widower. This was a respect for Lin Qingqing and for her. During these three years, he would keep a distance from Lin Qingqing and treat her as a friend.
Lin Qingqing originally wanted to give herself two years, but Lu Cheng suggested three years, so she thought it was a good idea. "What about the second thing?"
Lu Cheng: "The second thing is, if she comes back in three years or during three years, and you... are missing, I will divorce her. No matter what kind of punishment, I will accept it, because I betrayed this marriage in my mind." Although he didn't know she was from the future when he was attracted to her, he thought she was his wife, and he was willing to be attracted to her. If he knew she wasn't... they had no possibility of intersection from the beginning, how could he talk about attraction
But no matter how it started, he was wrong.
"I'm sorry." Lin Qingqing said. If she had chosen to be honest at the beginning, perhaps Lu Cheng would not have been in trouble. But at the beginning, she couldn't choose to be honest, after all, Lu Cheng was also a stranger to her. Even before today, she had never thought of being honest, after all, this matter was too serious. If she wasn't worried that Lu Cheng would think too much and something happened that she couldn't reverse, she wouldn't have chosen to be honest today.
"It's none of your business." Lu Cheng didn't blame Lin Qingqing, because he understood her caution and her inability to control herself. "The third thing... if... if you find someone you like in these three years, please tell me, I will divorce you and give you freedom." He couldn't selfishly trap Lin Qingqing just because this was her body.
Lin Qingqing said: "Okay, I understand. I respect the three things you said. As for the first thing, if she doesn't come back after three years, you will pursue me. My idea is to let nature take its course. Maybe after three years, you will no longer be attracted to me."
Lu Cheng was relieved when he heard her words. He did not explain the three-year problem because he knew that time could explain everything. Moreover, Lu Cheng knew himself very well. Once he was moved, he would be the kind of person that could not be brought back even by the army's vehicles.
In terms of love, he is very much like his mother. Even though she knew that his father did not love his mother, she still chose to persist and wait. However, after knowing that the other party loved someone else, she decisively chose to leave.
He is the same. He has a good impression of Lin Qingqing and is attracted to her. He knows that this attraction will become deeper and deeper, but if Lin Qingqing finds someone she likes, he will let go. Maybe it is impossible to forget, but the beginning of a relationship is beautiful, and it does not have to end in the worst way. Leaving behind good memories is also a good ending. At least when we say goodbye, we can still smile at each other.
Lu Cheng bowed gently to Lin: "Finally, I have one more request. Can you please continue to love Hai Ci as much as you do now?"
Lin Qingqing: "Of course there is no problem. I also have a question, what do you think about the Lin family and your aunt?"
Lu Cheng said: "Only you and I need to know about this matter. I will treat the Lin family well."
Lin Qingqing said: "Then don't worry, as long as I am here for one day, I will take her place to be filial to the Lin family."
Lu Cheng knew that she was a kind and independent person. Perhaps it was the future world that could nurture her character. "Okay."
The two reached a gentleman's agreement, and Lu Cheng left. But when he opened the door, he saw Lu Haici standing at the door.
Lu Cheng was almost scared: "What are you doing here?"
Lu Haici looked at his father, then at his mother: "I'm looking for you, why hasn't mom come to bed yet?"
Lu Cheng: "Mom will sleep here from now on, you go back to sleep."
When Lu Haici heard this, he was shocked. "Why? Why doesn't mommy sleep with me anymore? Don't you like me anymore? I want to sleep with mommy."
Lu Cheng wanted to say, it’s not that your mother doesn’t want to sleep with you, but that she can’t sleep with me.
Lin Qingqing did not embarrass Lu Cheng, but smiled and said: "It's like this, Mom has been feeling a little unwell recently, so she has to sleep alone. When Mom is better, I will sleep with you, okay?"
Lu Haici thought for a while and said, "Then I'll move my quilt over and sleep on the floor." Since he was living in the same room with his mother but not sleeping with her, Lu Haici felt that he was very smart.
