Chapter 401 Farewell
"I'm sorry, I couldn't make decisions on many things at that time. I also wanted to find you, but..." Huo Xilin sighed, as if he had something to hide.
Then he showed a helpless smile and said to Xu Qingsui calmly: "Sometimes I feel that people are too insignificant. There are many things that I can't do and can't do anything about. So when I grew up, I tried my best to make myself stronger. I just hope that when I face a choice again, I can have the right to make my own decision, instead of always being influenced by others and the environment."
After hearing what Huo Xilin said, Xu Qingsui felt the same way.
She wanted to ask Huo Xilin something when she suddenly heard the sound of a key turning in the door lock.
She quickly got up from his thighs and sat up straight. Just then, the door opened and Aunt Wang walked in holding Xu Youyou's hand.
"Mommy! Daddy!" Xu Youyou rarely saw her parents get off work so early. She ran towards them excitedly and threw herself into Xu Qingsui's arms.
Xu Qingsui hugged the little guy. He had grown heavier and taller. In another year, he would be able to go to primary school.
"Mommy, when can we go back to the South? I'm about to have my holiday, when will you and Dad have your holiday?"
Xu Youyou rarely appears anxious. Most of the time, he is a bit like Huo Xilin when he was a child. It seems that personality is something that can be inherited.
Xu Qingsui knew that the reason he was so anxious to return to the South was because there was a friend of his who was looking forward to his return.
Without waiting for Xu Qingsui to answer, Huo Xilin waved at him: "Come here, let Dad hold you."
Xu Youyou hesitated for a moment, and then heard Huo Xilin say, "You're too heavy now. Mommy can't hold you anymore."
Xu Youyou then embarrassedly got down from Xu Qingsui's arms, then obediently walked to Huo Xilin's side and sat down on the sofa obediently.
Huo Xilin stretched out his hand and lifted the little guy onto his thigh. Xu Youyou struggled to get off. Huo Xilin was unusually gentle: "Daddy will hug you. When you grow up a little more, Mommy and Daddy won't hug you anymore."
Every child's childhood is very short, and time passes in a flash. Although Xu Youyou is only as tall as their thighs now, when she goes to elementary school, she will grow taller every day, and in the blink of an eye she will be as tall as an adult's chest. By the time she is in junior high and high school, any fast-growing child will be about 1.78 meters tall.
Xu Youyou obediently sat on Huo Xilin's lap.
"Mom and Dad won't have a room until the end of the year, so after you have your holiday, Grandma Wang will take you back to Grandma's house in the south. Later, you can ask Grandma to take you to play with Ye Zihan, or you can invite Ye Zihan to your home."
The little guy was immediately happy when he heard this. He then turned on his phone watch and started to check the date. He counted and said, "There are still thirty-six days until the Chinese New Year. So, by this calculation, won't you and I be separated for more than thirty days?"
He hasn't been able to see his mother or father for more than 30 days!
Such separation was still very frightening for Xu Youyou, who was still very young.
"You have to learn to be independent. Now your parents are only separated from you for a few dozen days. When you grow up, you may not see them for a year or two, just like your father and grandmother now. Do you think your father and grandmother live together?"
Xu Youyou still doesn’t understand. Parents are the most important to their children, so why do they have to be separated when they grow up?
But the principles his parents told him were never wrong. Although he was reluctant to leave them, he would learn to adapt.
Time passed quickly. On the second day of Xu Youyou's holiday, Huo Xilin booked flights for him and Aunt Wang back to the south in the morning.
Xu Qingsui took half a day off and got up early to send Aunt Wang and Xu Youyou to the airport.
When they parted, Xu Youyou cried and hugged Xu Qingsui: "Mommy, I will miss you when I go back."
Xu Qingsui's eyes also moistened, and he touched his head: "Mommy will miss you too."
Huo Xilin was afraid that the mother and son would hug each other and cry, so he immediately urged Aunt Wang to take Xu Youyou in.
Xu Qingsui looked at the two people's backs as they disappeared into the crowd, feeling sad and lost.
Huo Xilin put his arm around her shoulders from behind and led her to the parking lot.
"The child is getting older and has his own circle. You don't have to worry about him."
"I'm not worried, I just can't bear to leave." Thinking back on every moment she spent with her child, she thought that when Xu Youyou was just born, she was not even as long as her arm. She didn't expect that she had grown so big and now they were at the age where they could be separated at any time.
"You can't bear to leave now. Won't you be even more reluctant when you have a wife in the future?" Huo Xilin said jokingly.
"If he really has a wife, I won't be reluctant to let her go. He has his own happiness, and I will only be happy for him."
She has selfless love for her children, without any possessiveness; she is selfish only towards her lover.
Therefore, family love and love are always different.
"What about me? If we are separated, will you be willing to let me go?" Huo Xilin suddenly asked.
"No!" Xu Qingsui would never admit that even if the separation was short, he would not be able to bear to leave Huo Xilin.
Only she herself knew that during the time when she suspected Huo Xilin was an accomplice in the murder of her parents, she was constantly thinking about how to adapt to a future life without her. Every time she thought about it, she felt heartbroken.
But fortunately, the misunderstanding has been resolved and they will never be separated again.
"Really?" Huo Xilin pretended to be disappointed and said, "You know how to stab me in the heart! You have no conscience, just like when we were little!"
"So will we separate?" Xu Qingsui looked up and asked Huo Xilin.
Huo Xilin was stunned for a moment, a hint of obscurity flashed across his eyes, and then he answered her affirmatively: "No, I can't bear to leave you."
"That's good, so we'll be together forever, right?"
Huo Xilin smiled slightly: "You are right, we will be together forever."
These words coming out of Xu Qingsui's mouth sounded so comfortable to his ears.
"Have you arranged your vacation? Now that our son is gone, we can finally enjoy our own world of two." Huo Xilin felt happy just thinking about it.
He hasn't been alone with Xu Qingsui for a long time.
Xu Qingsui was amused: "From what you said, my son is a hindrance?"
"Yes." Huo Xilin did not comment, but whispered in Xu Qingsui's ear, "Don't you know best whether he is a hindrance or not?"
Xu Qingsui: “…”
She subconsciously looked around. There were people coming and going in the airport, and she was really afraid of being seen by others.
