Chapter 154: Epilogue
During the summer vacation, Zhao Xinzhi was already over 90 years old. He did not go on vacation with his family, but stayed in Hong Kong.
Zhao Xinzhi did not accompany them. The first wife usually went on vacation together and participated in various social activities. They were separated from the second and third wives.
At night, in the bedroom, Zhao Shunian had just laid down on the bed when Yu Yin came over and Zhao Shunian subconsciously hugged her.
Yu Yin looked at his profile and suddenly asked a question: "Why haven't we divorced yet?"
Zhao Shunian didn't answer the question, but instead asked her, "Have you watched any TV series or read any novels recently that involve divorce?"
Yu Yin was shocked, "How did you know?"
“…”
Yu Yin wondered countless times whether Zhao Shunian was the worm in her stomach, or whether he could read her mind.
Today, while on the plane, she watched a drama to kill time. In the drama, a couple divorced because of the seven-year itch.
She couldn't help but think that her marriage with Zhao Shunian had entered its eighth year, and they had gone through the legendary seven-year itch without any major incidents.
She was a little dazed. They'd been married for so long. She'd actually been thinking about divorce since day one. She'd thought about it in the first, second, and third years. She had no faith in the marriage. Later, she never thought about it again.
Zhao Shunian pinched Yu Yin's cheek and said, "After so many years of marriage, if I still don't know your temper, we're just a fake couple."
Yu Yin also pinched Zhao Shunian's face, "You haven't answered my first question yet."
Zhao Shunian thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because when we are together, we feel at ease and safe. Staying in our safe house, the wind and rain outside and the passage of time cannot invade."
Yu Yin stopped pinching Zhao Shunian's face. She leaned against his chest and whispered, "Shunian, thank you for giving me so much sense of security and making me no longer feel uneasy."
………
There are many fruits and vegetables planted in the manor. The twin brother and sister, Yuanyuan and Peipei, who are less than four years old, were taught by Zhao Yunbin to remember the bitter past and cherish the sweet present, and not to be divorced from the mundane world. They carried small baskets to pick fruits and vegetables.
Driven by curiosity, brother Yuanyuan asked grandfather: "What are fireworks? Is it smoke? I have seen it!"
Sister Peipei also actively expressed that she had seen it, and the two of them chattered about the circumstances under which they saw it.
Grandpa was just ignored by them. Ms. Li couldn't help but laugh and said, "What are the profound principles? They don't understand them now. It's okay for them to know how to do it. They will understand when they grow up."
Now Ms. Li is a kind grandmother, and Zhao Yunbin is a serious grandfather, but his seriousness can never last long.
The little granddaughter tilted her head back and said sweetly, "Grandpa, I want to hug you."
He bent down, picked her up, and kissed her on the cheek.
Yuanyuan's eyes rolled around as he looked at them.
Zhao Yunbin's heart softened, "Grandpa will hold you too, come."
Yuanyuan shook his head. His parents had warned him and his sister not to let their grandfather hold them both at the same time.
The twins lived in the capital with Yu Yin and Zhao Shunian until they were three years old. They returned to Hong Kong when they were old enough to go to kindergarten.
Unless there were special circumstances, Yu Yin flew over to see them almost every weekend, and Zhao Shunian went back frequently for work. During the holidays, the nanny would take them to the capital.
Zhao Yunbin once nearly strained his back while hugging them. They were at the stage of "whatever you have, I want too."
Zhao Xinzhi was also present and laughed at Zhao Yunbin for taking good care of his health. He said that if he were his age, he would definitely be able to hold two children, unlike now when he can't even hold one even if he wants to.
Whenever Yu Yin and Zhao Shunian went there, Yuanyuan and Peipei always liked to talk to them, telling them what had happened that week, and they would describe it vividly.
Seeing their parents' unhappy expressions, they realized they had done something wrong. They were lectured by the two and promised not to do it again next time.
Zhao Yunbin thought he had just made a small mistake last time. Seeing Yuanyuan shaking his head, he asked, "Why don't you want grandpa to hold you anymore?"
After he asked this question, Ms. Li gave him a look, as if she knew the answer but still wanted to ask.
Yuanyuan said: "I want grandpa to hold me. Wait until grandpa has finished holding my sister, then hold me. Just hold me for one minute. I like walking now."
Yuanyuan didn't say it directly because he was worried that his grandfather would sprain his back and wanted to protect his self-esteem.
Pei Pei followed closely behind and said, "I like walking too. I just want Grandpa to hold me for one minute."
Seeing her grandchildren being so caring towards Zhao Yunbin, Ms. Li felt jealous and gave Zhao Yunbin a look, letting him experience it himself.
Zhao Yunbin was very satisfied, and his smile never even dropped.
Peipei didn't know how to feel a minute, but she knew it was sixty seconds long, so she called Zhao Yunbin "Grandpa" sixty times. She even asked Yuanyuan to count for her, as she couldn't count on her own.
After sixty times, she said she wanted to get down and asked her brother to come up. Yuanyuan repeated Peipei's actions, but he called Ms. Li "Grandma" sixty times. Ms. Li felt more at ease.
Yu Yin and Zhao Shunian went out to sea for a trip. I wonder what this pair of funny guys did in front of their grandparents.
Yu Yin swam in the sea until she was satisfied. She walked up the gangway and took a shower in the bathroom of the yacht before going to the deck to find Zhao Shunian.
Zhao Shunian was basking in the sun. When he saw Yu Yin coming over, he hugged her in his arms. He kissed her neck, but felt that was not enough, so he started kissing and biting her.
Yu Yin pushed Zhao Shunian's chest and said, "Be careful. If there are any marks left, your son and daughter will ask me how I got hurt again."
They had asked this question before, and Yu had fooled them by saying they were bitten by mosquitoes in the garden. They still believed that there were giant mosquitoes hidden in the garden of Hushan Villa.
Hearing this, Zhao Shunian chuckled, "You can tell them that you were bitten by mosquitoes in the bushes on the way back."
"I've used similar excuses before. This time, I want you to explain." After saying that, Yu Yin gently bit the side of Zhao Shunian's neck.
Zhao Shunian let her bite him and stroked her back.
After a while, Zhao Shunian asked Yu Yin, "How was your rest?"
Yu Yin raised her eyelids and looked at him, "Not bad."
After getting a positive answer, Zhao Shunian carried Yu Yin back to the room.
The yacht docked before sunset because before leaving, Yu Yin and Zhao Shunian promised the two children that they would have dinner with them and see the fruits of their labor.
As they got off the yacht, Yu Yin looked at the two children standing at the dock. She said to Zhao Shunian, "We haven't even passed the bushes or the flowers yet, and we've already run into them. If they ask about it later, I'll see how you explain it."
Before Zhao Shunian could respond, the two children let go of the nanny's hands, ran towards them, and called out "Daddy" and "Mommy".
On the way back, Yuanyuan and Peipei saw the beach and wanted to go over to play. The two pairs of eyes looked at them with longing, expressing their thoughts, as if they would be unforgivable if they did not agree to their proposal.
Yu Yinsong said, "Let's take a detour and pass by there. We are not allowed to stop there to play. Grandpa and grandma are waiting for us to go back."
The two nodded in unison.
When they were halfway down the beach, Yuanyuan let go of Yu Yin's hand and took Zhao Shunian's hand instead, "Daddy, hold me."
He didn't let his mother hold him because he knew his mother couldn't hold him well.
Yuanyuan wants his father to hold him, and Peipei also wants his father to hold him.
Zhao Shunian said, "You can only hold her for two minutes." Then he added, "You don't have to count, I'll help you calculate the time."
He also knows the moral character of the two children very well.
Zhao Shunian squatted down, Yuanyuan climbed onto his back, Peipei on his chest. He had a child hanging in front and behind him.
Yuanyuan, who was sharp-eyed and full of questions, asked her own question: "Daddy, how did you get hurt? Was it a mosquito bite like Mommy did before?"
As soon as Yuanyuan asked these two questions, Yu Yin burst out laughing, grabbed Zhao Shunian's arm, and the two looked at each other for a second.
Zhao Shunian answered seriously that it was.
Yuanyuan had another question, "When was he bitten?"
"last night."
"But I didn't see it last night."
"It's not that you didn't see it, it's that you didn't pay attention. It was indeed last night."
Zhao Shunian used his skilled deception skills to successfully make the two children doubt themselves and think that they really didn't pay attention last night.
Yu Yin and Zhao Shunian were both acting masters in front of the two children, and they were fooled many times.
Just as they were doubting, the time came and they obediently came down to walk.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the shadows of the family of four were stretched out. Yu Yin and Zhao Shunian each held a child as they walked home, their hands intertwined.
