Chapter 575 It Has Nothing to Do with You
His body temperature still remained on the deer toy. Qiao Yunxue's fingers were a little cold, and she felt it particularly clearly when she took it. She looked down at the toy in her hand. The familiar temperature made her a little dazed, and she remembered many things from the past.
Qiao Yunxue was a little short of energy and blood, so her hands and feet were always cold, but Fu Shanzhan was completely different. His body temperature was very high and he was very warm. She used to like leaning on him to keep warm, especially when she was outdoors in winter, she would hold his hand to keep warm. She always wondered why his hands could be so warm in such a cold day. Fu Shanzhan would then say with a grin that he was born to be her hot water bottle.
Thinking of the past, Qiao Yunxue felt a little sore in her nose. She took a deep breath and turned her attention back to her child.
Qiao Yunxue shook the deer toy in front of Qiao Qiao and made some onomatopoeia to amuse her. The child soon burst into laughter. Qiao Yunxue saw some of Fu Shanzhan's shadow in her smile - he often smiled like this in his childhood photos.
Qiao Yunxue played with Qiao Qiao for a while, and then Fu Shanzhan came back. When he came out, he brought a bottle of milk and a box of biscuits, which he handed to her very easily.
Qiao Yunxue was stunned when she saw what was in Fu Shanzhan's hand.
"You seem listless when you speak, so I guess you haven't eaten yet," Fu Shanzhan said under Qiao Yunxue's gaze. "The kitchen lady is out buying groceries. Eat something first to fill your stomach and avoid hypoglycemia."
Qiao Yunxue took it and uttered two words after a long while: "Thank you."
The two of them have been together for two years and know each other's living habits too well, which becomes especially obvious after they separate.
Qiao Yunxue took a few bites of milk and biscuits and sat across the table. After a few bites, the feeling of weakness and fatigue all over her body was much relieved. Fu Shanzhan glanced at her and asked casually, "Have you been busy recently?"
Qiao Yunxue: "A little bit. I'm preparing for a part-time job."
Fu Shanzhan subconsciously wanted to tell her not to work so hard, but he swallowed the words back. He now gradually understood that she was not doing part-time work for the purpose of making money.
"Your health is the capital of revolution," Fu Shanzhan said. "You need to take good care of yourself so you can work and study normally. Remember to eat on time."
Qiao Yunxue said, "Hmm," "Thank you."
Fu Shanzhan: "I'll ask the kitchen lady to make you some wontons later, or you can just tell her what you want to eat."
He knew her very well. She didn't like to cook much and her cooking skills were average. When she lived alone, she usually just made do with whatever she wanted. Her parents were not around, so it was not reliable to always eat takeout and fast food.
"No, I have some at home. My mom packed a lot when she left." Qiao Yunxue whispered, "I'm just lazy."
Fu Shanzhan was amused by her words, "This is the first time I hear you admit that you are lazy."
In the past, if he said something carelessly, she would chase him and beat him for a long time, and if she was angry, she would have to coax him for a long time.
When Fu Shanzhan said this, memories of the past immediately emerged in Qiao Yunxue's mind. She pursed her lips with a complicated expression.
Seeing her silence, Fu Shanzhan thought she was unhappy, so he apologized: "I'm sorry, I spoke too quickly, please don't be angry."
"No." Qiao Yunxue shook her head. "I've remembered what you said. I'll pay attention to it next time."
Fu Shanzhan was also quite surprised by Qiao Yunxue's reaction. He was surprised and a little amused. It was really magical, wasn't it? After the divorce, they were no longer stuck together every day like before, but the atmosphere between them was much better than before when they were inseparable.
This may be the legendary distance creates beauty.
But Fu Shanzhan was also feeling quite conflicted. Qiao Yunxue was so polite to him because the close relationship between them was no longer there. She subconsciously isolated him outside the glass cover and would no longer show him her truest side as before.
Now he has no choice but to maintain this relationship.
Fortunately, Qiao Qiao is here. They are the child’s parents, and this is a connection that cannot be severed throughout a lifetime.
Fu Shanzhan quickly finished brainwashing himself and changed the subject: "Qiao Qiao's hundred-day banquet is on the 23rd, which is next week."
Qiao Yunxue chewed the biscuits and nodded.
Fu Shanzhan: "When will your parents come over?"
Qiao Yunxue: "Arrival on the 21st."
Fu Shanzhan: "Well, you can just come early in the morning on the 23rd."
Qiao Yunxue: "Okay."
Fu Shanzhan pondered for a few seconds, clenched his fist, and asked tentatively: "My mom has hired a photographer. Can you take a family photo with Qiao Qiao and me?"
Since Qiao Qiao was born, the three of them have never taken a group photo, which is one of his regrets. His original plan was to take a photo when the baby was born, and then take a photo every week thereafter, and make a booklet to record the whole process of the three of them being together as a family.
Unfortunately, this idea was ultimately shattered.
After hearing this question, Qiao Yunxue fell silent and thought for a while.
With every second of her silence, Fu Shanzhan's heart became more anxious. After about two or three minutes, Qiao Yunxue nodded, and Fu Shanzhan's heart finally returned to his stomach.
He sighed deeply, then smiled, "Thank you."
Qiao Yunxue: "It's okay, it's for Qiao Qiao."
Although she and Fu Shanzhan are separated, they still have the same ideas about raising children. Qiao Qiao must have everything that other children have. No matter what the future holds, they will always be with their child as their parents.
After Qiao Yunxue finished eating the biscuits, she walked to the stroller, bent down and picked up Qiao Qiao.
She held Qiao Qiao and sat down, shaking her body to tease her. Qiao Qiao was happy and giggled. Qiao Yunxue was touched by her cute smile and bent down to kiss her twice on the face.
When Fu Shanzhan saw this scene, the expression on his face softened a lot. He raised the corners of his mouth and stared at her intently.
His eyes were burning, and Qiao Yunxue quickly felt it.
She suddenly met his gaze, feeling a little awkward, "What's wrong?"
Fu Shanzhan coughed and said, "It's okay. I'm happy to see that you like her so much."
"Before, my hormones were unstable and I was in a bad mood, so I said those angry words." Qiao Yunxue hugged the child tightly in her arms, "She is my daughter, how could I not like her?"
Now she is just glad that her child has no memory of her childhood, otherwise she would be so sad when she thinks about this period when she grows up.
"It's my fault that you're in a bad mood," Fu Shanzhan said. "You've sacrificed too much by marrying me. I..."
"It's all in the past. It's okay." Qiao Yunxue interrupted him and forced a smile. "Those were my own choices. It has nothing to do with you."
It has nothing to do with you.
These four words were like a knife, stabbing straight into Fu Shanzhan's heart.
She was clearly saying words to comfort him, but it made him feel even worse.
It seemed like he would rather she blame him for ruining her life than hear "It has nothing to do with you" from her.
