Chapter 29 My baby, my treasure, my coat, my jacket!
Xingxing met the gazes of the two people one after another, and she did not dodge, but just looked at them quietly.
"...Xingxing?" Liang Jinyu stood up from the sofa like a catapult, but instinctively moved closer to Xingxing very slowly and gently.
The child's pupils moved, and he slowly looked at his mother who was tiptoeing towards him.
The moment their eyes met, Liang Jinyu held her breath, maintained a strange posture and dared not move.
Xingxing looked at her for a moment, then, in front of her wide-open eyes in disbelief, opened his little hands towards her.
Xingxing maintained this action for a full five seconds. Liang Jinyu, who was frozen in place, was awakened by Chen Lin's forceful push.
She suddenly exhaled from her chest, then walked to Xingxing with weak hands and feet, held her breath again, and with shaking arms slowly hugged the child who was waiting with open arms.
The moment he was hugged, Xingxing heard a long sigh from his mother's heart, like the cry of a mother beast. Her hot tears fell on his neck, and the moisture was quickly wiped away by the furry and warm pajamas.
Seeing Liang Jinyu half-kneeling there holding the child without moving, Chen Lin was so anxious that she wanted to push her away so that she could go first, so she reminded her again and again with what she thought were inconspicuous coughs.
As a result, the person who should have been reminded was not reminded, and the child who should not have been reminded or startled raised his clear and quiet eyes and looked at her.
Chen Lin: “…”
The irritable expression on her face disappeared, and she tried to give the child a friendly smile like a strange aunt.
Xingxing withdrew her gaze, tilted her head, and gently rubbed her mother's neck and earlobes with her soft cheeks and furry pajama hood.
Liang Jinyu, who was about to come back to his senses, was stunned again.
Chen Lin: “…”
I feel like a monkey jumping up and down in a hurry! !
Hug her! Kiss her! You don't even dare to hug your own child? I really hate that she is like steel that doesn't know how to be soft!
After rubbing her cheek, Xingxing relaxed her body. She slowly squeezed herself into her mother's stiff arms, and then stood there with her as punishment.
The mother and son were one silly and one stupid, which made Chen Lin, an outsider, itchy to try, yet also inexplicably moved.
"Cough, cough!!!" This time she almost coughed out her lungs.
Then I got a curious look from the child.
At that moment, Chen Lin seemed to sense what Liang Jinyu had just felt.
As Liang Jinyu's agent, she witnessed Liang Jinyu go astray and fall in love with a scumbag, get married and have a child.
Even when Xingxing was just born, she was the first one to hold the baby in his cradle and look after him.
Accompanying Liang Jinyu into the delivery room, accompanying Liang Jinyu during her confinement, accompanying Liang Jinyu to listen to the hospital's notice about Xingxing's severe autism, accompanying Liang Jinyu...
After Xingxing was born, Liang Jinyu, as an artist with a team to support, had to go back to work soon. Often at such times, apart from the nanny, the person who visited Xingxing the most was Chen Lin.
But later, Liang Jinyu's divorce caused a bigger storm, and Chen Lin was so busy that she realized that she hadn't seen the stars for a long time.
It feels like this child is always living quietly in the corner, as if he is always living in his own world. He will not be disturbed, nor will he appear in anyone's reality to disturb others.
Only Liang Jinyu refused to give up the child.
I approach cautiously every day and talk to myself with full of anticipation.
The doctor gave a lot of suggestions, which were effective in the past, but as Xingxing grew older and as the conflicts between Liang Jinyu and Xiao Yongyan increased, Xingxing's condition became more and more serious.
Chen Lin originally thought that Xingxing would be the mushroom hiding in the corner for the rest of her life.
When it is young, it is a small mushroom, and when it grows up, it becomes a big mushroom.
From birth to death, it is so quiet and no one will notice it.
But that look just now...
That curious, lively look that seemed to hide a little glimmer of light...
Chen Lin suddenly felt that perhaps Liang Jinyu would not lose this time in the bet with the program crew, the company, and those black netizens.
-
Liang Jinyu carefully picked up Xingxing and did not continue to move forward when she was some distance away from Chen Lin. Instead, she lowered her head and asked the child in her arms: "Baby, do you still remember Aunt Linlin?"
In fact, she was supposed to call her godmother at the beginning, but Xiao Yongyan didn't want to, so Chen Lin didn't force her.
As she and Chen Lin unconsciously synchronized their nervous and expectant expressions, Xingxing, who was carefully held in her arms, followed her line of sight and then silently glanced at Chen Lin.
Chen Lin: “!!!”
Stars! My baby, my treasure, my coat, my jacket! !
Just like Liang Jinyu before, she suddenly jumped up from the sofa, wanting to get closer, but then stopped where she was. Her originally haggard eyes now stared at the stars, with obvious anticipation written all over her eyes.
"Baby, can mommy hold you and sit on the sofa?" Liang Jinyu asked, unable to help but tilting her head to rub her son's soft cheek.
Xingxing hugged her with her arms and quietly didn't shake her head to refuse.
The two women looked at each other, and could see the excitement in each other's eyes. They slowed down their movements, one stepped back, and the other walked forward, trying to give the child a more comfortable space.
Until Liang Jinyu really sat down steadily holding Xingxing.
Her eyes turned red silently, and she couldn't hold back the tears no matter how hard she blinked.
Until this moment, until this moment...
Her first feeling wasn't even joy or relief.
But: I’m so tired…
All those negative emotions such as fatigue, sadness, grievance, etc. that she had suppressed time and again with gritted teeth in the past three years finally came flooding in at this moment, overwhelming her and seemed to smash her back, which had been strong for three years, into pieces in an instant.
She couldn't even taste the slightest sweetness in these emotions.
Someone patted her shoulder and there was a sigh in her ear. Liang Jinyu looked up at her agent and good friend who had unknowingly stood up to comfort her. She closed her eyes, but still couldn't hide the aggrieved sob in her throat.
For three whole years, including the ten months of pregnancy, she was always worried about the child in her arms.
She looked forward to it day and night, hoping that this child who was quietly hiding in his own world would give her a response as a mother.
Even a small, insignificant response like a wink…
She will feel content.
But she could only watch her child's condition become more and more serious and her family fall apart in the dispute.
So tired...
I am so tired that I can't even taste whether my tears are sweet or salty.
Until the child in her arms moved slightly, and the furry pajama hood rubbed against her neck, just wet her tears.
Liang Jinyu pulled herself away from the emotions that suddenly surged over her, sniffed, and buried her head in the child's fluffy pajamas, rubbing them randomly, as if this could not only wipe the tears from her face, but also mix up the negative emotions that had accumulated in her heart for a long time and throw them out in one breath.
"Baby, are you hungry?" Liang Jinyu, relying on her remaining sanity, whispered to the quiet child in her arms.
This was the only reason she could think of that could drive Xingxing to walk out of the room on her own initiative.
Xingxing looked up and met her concerned gaze.
There was a moment of trance, and the mother in front of me seemed to turn into a red figure, but was replaced by another color in the instant.
“……” He shook his head gently.
A hint of surprise appeared in Liang Jinyu's eyes, which were filled with tears.
"So, does the baby want to come out on his own?" Liang Jinyu's voice trembled slightly.
After a long time, the child in her arms nodded gently.
Liang Jinyu: "..."
She suddenly became a little speechless, staring blankly at the child in her arms, her mind blank, and she had no idea what to say at all.
Or maybe Chen Lin couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she asked tentatively, "Did Xingxing come out because he heard the voices of me and your mother?"
The two of them stared at the stars, not wanting to miss even the slightest change in his expression.
After a few seconds, Xingxing nodded again and her eyes fell on Chen Lin's face again.
Chen Lin: “…”
It’s so magical, I can somehow understand the look in the children’s eyes.
In Liang Jinyu's incredulous eyes, she continued to ask: "Because you heard me chatting with your mother? You said you wanted to be on the show, right?"
In fact, both adults find this answer mysterious, but humans are best at finding something to talk about...
And when talking about awkward topics, think frantically to come up with the next topic to continue the conversation.
However, it was such a hopeless topic that brought them a bigger surprise.
"Um."
A small, soft child's voice slowly said, "Xingxing, I want to listen."
“…”
Both adults were stunned.
For them, such a scene is no less than hearing a one-year-old child call mom and dad for the first time!
Chen Lin was so excited that she pinched Liang Jinyu's thigh hard, and she danced and grimaced anxiously, urging Liang Jinyu to respond quickly with her expressions.
Liang Jinyu was still in a daze.
She was a little doubtful about her ears, so she didn't notice Chen Lin's loss of composure, and didn't even feel the pain of her leg being pinched.
She lowered her head, facing Xingxing towards herself, and breathed softly. She asked in a trembling voice... even begged: "Xingxing, baby, what did you say just now? Can you say it again?"
It was this posture that made her tears fall straight into Xingxing's eyes.
Pretending to shed tears that did not belong to her, Xingxing's little hands tugged at her clothes and she blinked gently.
"Mom~"
He didn't say it again.
He is calling for his mother.
