Rao Jiarui took out a castle made of wood. Xiaoxiao took it with great joy, only to find out that it was made up of blocks piece by piece.
"It looks great, thank you uncle."
"Lin Xue, I have something I want to tell you, is that okay?"
Rao Jiarui didn't dare to look into her eyes, afraid of seeing her unwilling look.
"Of course. Is there anything you want to tell me?"
But maybe she wouldn't have responded before, but after hearing what her daughter said, she suddenly felt that she shouldn't hesitate.
If he is willing to be with her, then she will face it bravely with him.
Her heart is not made of stone. She has felt the efforts that Rao Jiarui has made for her and Xiaoxiao in the past two years.
She knew that this man was very good to her and she liked him in her heart, but she just didn't have the courage to take that step again, let alone the courage to enter into marriage again.
I used to think that the person you liked when you were young was the most profound, because you liked his shining points. You would subconsciously ignore all his shortcomings and think that everything about him was good.
But after they were together, she found out that the man didn't care about her at all. In his heart, his good brother, his so-called sister was more important.
Later, when he knew that his child was killed by the other party, he was still able to give up for the other party, or forget the fact. That relationship hurt her so deeply that she was like a snail, always trapped in her shell, not daring to take a step forward.
This man used his gentleness to give her the courage to step out of the snail shell step by step.
Xiaoxiao looked at the two people and knew that they had something to say.
"Oh, I want to play by myself, is that okay?"
"Of course, you can play in your room while Mommy and I talk outside, okay?"
"Hmmmm."
Xiaoxiao obediently took her toys back to the room and started playing, while the two began talking outside the door.
"Xiaoxue, my mission this time is a bit dangerous, but I desperately told myself that I must come back, I must come back to you alive. I want to tell you that I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you.
In the past, I always thought I was great. I thought I would wait until you could accept me before confessing my feelings to you. But this time, facing such danger, I realized that I am just an ordinary person. Maybe I am a little selfish, selfishly wanting you to know how much I like you.
Rao Jiarui had never said these words before because he didn't want to force the woman he liked.
Sometimes when he likes someone, he really doesn’t know how to explain it clearly, and he doesn’t know why he likes the person in front of him.
But he really liked Lin Xue from the bottom of his heart, and wanted to put everything he had in front of her. He just wanted to see her smile, wanted to see her happy, and wanted to pamper her and protect her.
"I thought you would never tell me this, and would wait until I told you."
Lin Xue laughed when she heard this. In fact, she had been hiding in her own snail shell, thinking that there would be someone who could give her a sense of security and let her come out. Now this person has appeared, and that is the man in front of her.
Because it was him, she was willing to believe that there was someone who could bring her happiness. Because it was her, she was willing to muster up the courage to move into the future. Because it was him, she was willing to believe that the man in front of her would love her daughter well.
"I have many shortcomings. I often get so busy that I forget everything. I might even neglect you in the future. Can you accept this?"
Hearing Lin Xue say this, Rao Jiarui smiled suddenly, reached out and touched her head, his eyes doting and his tone gentle.
"Xiaoxue, aren't you saying this the other way around? Shouldn't I be the one who needs to apologize to you? Because of my work, once I start a mission, I don't know when I'll be able to return.
Sometimes there are even life-threatening situations, which can make you extremely worried. Are you willing to entrust yourself to someone like me? You don’t know what the future will hold, and you don’t know if I will suddenly leave you one day.
Speaking of worrying, the person who should be worried about the most is actually him. I don’t know if he can give Xiaoxue a sense of security.
"Of course I am willing. What makes me give up is not my patriotism, but whether there is a place for me in your heart."
Lin Xue looked at the man in front of her. When they first met, it was he who gave her a sense of security and gave her the courage to face so many people alone. Every time afterwards, it was he who gave her a sense of security and made her believe that every day in the future would be fine.
"In my heart, besides the country, there is you."
Besides my country, you are the only one in my heart. This is the best promise he can give to Lin Xue.
"Then is there anyone in your family who thinks it's not good for us to be together? Have you asked this? Although we like each other, marriage is not a matter between two people, but a matter between two families."
When she said this, Lin Xue wanted to laugh. You know, when she got married, everyone told her that marriage was a matter between two families, but she didn't believe it. She thought that as long as two people loved each other, it would be fine. But later she found that life is always full of slaps in the face.
"My parents think that if a girl likes me and is willing to marry me, I'm very lucky. For someone like me, it's good enough to have someone like me. After all, I work so hard, and the risk factor is very high. I don't know when I will leave a girl as a widow."
His parents didn't have any requirements, as long as there was something he liked, that was enough.
"Can you please stop worrying about being a widow? Don't worry, if you die one day, I will never be a widow. I will immediately find a new boyfriend and dance on your grave."
Rao Jiarui: “…”
Rao Jiarui's face darkened. He wasn't dead yet, so how could he say that he couldn't find a boyfriend in the future?
The two of them looked at each other and started smiling. They didn't know when their hands were already intertwined.
Rao Jiarui was extremely happy. He thought it would take him a lifetime to help Lin Xue let go of all the pain in her heart and get over the grief.
Lin Xue was also really happy. Many times, the reason why she couldn't take that step was because she was afraid, but once she took it, she would move forward courageously.
"You're so happy today, why don't we take Xiaoxiao to see the food festival?"
"It's so late, why don't you go out? Don't you want to discuss what we should do next?"
