Chapter 41 A Little Winter Gift
The video is connected.
Chen Lin glanced at the background behind Liang Jinyu, which was in the exercise room.
"Are the cameras and radios turned off?" she asked first.
Liang Jinyu nodded, then held her forehead and said to her tiredly: "Sister Lin, I seem to be really sick."
Chen Lin was silent for a moment, then he laughed drunkenly and sighed, "I know, I knew it a long time ago..."
She rolled down the car window completely, reclined the seat a little, and lay down in a more comfortable position. She squinted her eyes and said to the tired-looking woman on the screen, "Xiao Yu, I've got a job for you. After the recording of this episode is over, you can go for an audition. I'll send you the plot and character tomorrow. Think about it carefully. I'll pick you up after the show is over."
Liang Jinyu was stunned.
Perhaps she didn't expect to get a job opportunity so soon. Looking at the drunken Chen Lin on the screen, she felt almost overwhelmed by the guilt and gratitude in her heart.
"...Okay, I will definitely try my best to seize this opportunity." She nodded solemnly.
"Well, it's the same as before. Bring Xingxing to a hotel near the crew. If you can take this role, I will assign you two assistants so that you can have an easier time."
Chen Lin took advantage of his drunkenness to slowly arrange the matter. After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and paused for a while before bringing up the topic again. He said to Liang Jinyu, "Do you know what people are most afraid of?"
Liang Jinyu shook her head and smiled bitterly: "I don't know, but I know what I'm afraid of."
"Then what are you afraid of?" Chen Lin asked her.
Liang Jinyu took a deep breath and answered slowly, "I'm afraid that Xingxing will get sick, that I won't be able to save enough money to live comfortably without a job, that I'll be criticized by thousands of people, and that I'll fail to hold on and disappoint all the people who have done good for me."
After hearing her answer, Chen Lin burst into laughter and said pointedly, "You've said so much, but in fact you're just afraid that Xingxing will have no one to take care of her and that she's afraid of death."
Under what circumstances would the stars be left unattended?
When Liang Jinyu died.
So in the final analysis, she is just afraid of death.
Chen Lin lay in the driver's seat, feeling the bone-chilling night wind, and said slowly, "No matter what the reason is, since you are afraid of death, then live well. Otherwise, when you die, no matter how many insults you have received, no one will be able to clear your name. All the money you have saved for the house in the first half of your life will be gone, and I will not be able to raise the child you carried for ten months and raised with great effort."
"Xiao Yu, you still have me, you still have fans, you still have a job, and you still have money."
"But Star, there's only you."
"If you were gone, Xingxing would really be left with nothing. He's only 3 years old. Think about it for yourself."
People always say that children are the eternal bond between their parents. At this moment, Chen Lin hopes that this bond can be deeper, deep enough to hold on to the precarious Liang Jinyu and let her grit her teeth and fight to survive.
Only when you are alive can you have hope.
"……I know."
Liang Jinyu responded softly: "Don't worry, I know that life is getting better, the stars are getting better, and I have no reason to give up on myself."
"OK."
Chen Lin exhaled, closed his eyes and said to her: "Just know what's going on. If you need treatment, take medicine. If it doesn't work, you can quit the industry. Don't enter the industry and act in a play, and end up losing your life."
After saying that, she hung up the video. She still needed to find a designated driver to go back, and there would be countless things to do when she opened her eyes tomorrow.
The video is down.
Liang Jinyu looked at the chat page on her phone, thought about it, and decided to call back.
"Send me your location and I'll pick you up."
Seeing that she was drunk in the video, Liang Jinyu was really worried about her going back alone.
Not to mention it was so late, she would not gamble with Chen Lin's safety.
Soon, the location was received on the mobile phone. Liang Jinyu took a look at it, stood up and tied her hair casually, went to the bedroom to look at the stars, then went downstairs with the car keys.
-
Xingxing woke up in the middle of the night and found that the lights in the corridor outside the door were still on.
He walked barefoot on the carpet to the door, opened it a crack, and found his mother helping Aunt Linlin walk to the guest bedroom.
Perhaps she noticed him, because when the mother was helping Aunt Linlin in, she turned around and spoke to him with her mouth.
Xingxing understood that her mother was saying, "Wait a minute, baby."
The child tilted his head, then walked out on the soft carpet and waited obediently at the door of the guest bedroom for his mother to come out.
Qiuqiu flew to Xingxing's shoulder and told him the brief video conversation between his mother and Aunt Chen Lin tonight.
Then he said to him, "Look at them, kid. They are good friends in human society."
Xingxing nodded.
Qiuqiu continued, "Xingxing, you can also make friends with other human cubs in the future, so that you may also have good friends who can rely on each other~"
To put it bluntly, Qiuqiu still feels sorry for Xingxing.
After experiencing the last world, it was very afraid that Xingxing would spend the rest of his life in this world alone again.
Xingxing himself may not feel lonely, but Qiuqiu will feel distressed and blame himself, thinking that he cannot truly accompany Xingxing like a human being.
So it hopes that the stars can have one or two good human friends.
Xingxing listened quietly to Qiuqiu's chattering. At last, she gently pinched its round body with her little hands and said softly, "It's okay."
A meaningless sentence.
But Qiuqiu understood.
It was the stars that rejected its proposal.
"…But you had good friends like Zhou Xiaoya in the doomsday. Why don't you want to make friends when you come to the human world, Xingxing?" Qiuqiu couldn't figure out what went wrong, so he asked directly.
Xingxing lowered her eyes and looked at the carpet under her feet. She moved her toes slightly, and finally sat down again against the wall.
He knelt down and hugged himself, resting his head on his arms and said to Qiuqiu: "Because Zhou Xiaoya is my brother."
Zhou Xiaoya is not Xingxing's good friend.
Zhou Xiaoya is a little brother who can protect the stars.
"Besides, we have to separate."
Xingxing smiled faintly and said to the stunned Qiuqiu: "Xingxing doesn't like separation. If we separate once less, Xingxing will be a little happier."
Uncle Hu said that all good things must come to an end.
Well, Xingxing should just not attend those banquets.
Without banquets and feelings, there will naturally be no separation.
If one less human sheds tears, the stars will be less sad.
"...But it will be very lonely." Qiuqiu couldn't help but get close to him and use her body to feel the warmth of his cheek. Only then did the panic feeling ease a lot.
Xingxing shook her head, her tone was peaceful, but the words she said were extremely familiar.
"It's okay."
It’s okay to be alone, the stars are not afraid of loneliness.
“…”
Qiuqiu fell completely silent.
It realized that the stars would probably never get used to separation.
From the separation from He Yang, to leaving Doomsday, and then to every small world...
The stars have been repeating the theme of "separation".
Perhaps when Xingxing grows up, he will face the separation calmly on the surface, just like in the previous little world, but now at such a young age, he can only use "escape" to avoid future separation.
As long as he doesn't make friends, he won't be separated from his friends.
As long as his connection with this world is fixed on Liang Jinyu, the only person he will have to face separation from in this world in the future is Liang Jinyu.
Xingxing has a lot of love, but he doesn’t have a lot of people who can accompany him forever.
So in the end, only Qiuqiu can accompany Xingxing and keep all that love.
Therefore, every time, Xingxing nodded and admitted that Qiuqiu was his best friend and a companion who would never be separated.
Apart from it, the stars have no friends and no longer have any friends.
After Qiuqiu realized this, he suddenly didn’t know what to say.
The two children just sat there in silence until Liang Jinyu came out of the guest bedroom.
The child who was sitting on the ground in a daze was held in his mother's arms.
The little kid who just said it’s okay to be alone is given a gentle kiss by her mother.
"Why did you wake up, baby? Did your mother disturb you?" Liang Jinyu asked softly, and raised her hand to touch the little guy's forehead. After making sure that the body temperature was normal, she carried him to the living room.
Xingxing shook her head and lay in her mother's arms without saying a word.
Liang Jinyu didn't ask any more questions. She made milk for Xingxing and put the bottle in Xingxing's hand when the temperature was right.
The mother and son were sitting in the living room. One was drinking milk with sleepy eyes and feeling sleepy while drinking, while the other was looking for something on a tablet. The atmosphere was quiet and warm.
It's about two o'clock in the morning.
The netizens who had been waiting until this point did not expect that they would still see Xingxing curled up in a ball still holding the bottle of milk. Then, looking at Liang Jinyu who was always protecting Xingxing in her arms in the camera, they felt that the negative news on the Internet was slandering her.
Xingxing fell into her mother's arms. After drinking a few sips of milk, she became so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. Finally, she unconsciously grabbed her mother's clothes and slept soundly while holding the bottle.
Liang Jinyu noticed that Xingxing had fallen asleep, so she found some plush socks to put on him, then carried him back to the bedroom to sleep.
-
After dawn, Xingxing had just crawled out of bed when her mother put a one-piece winter suit of a little dinosaur on her, wrapping her tightly from head to toe.
Xingxing let her mother toss her around in a daze. It was not until she reached the living room that she discovered that it was snowing outside.
Noticing that he was staring out the window, Liang Jinyu smiled and kissed her son, then carried him to the window and let him look out at the sky and the vast expanse of snow-covered ground downstairs.
"Baby, it's snowing."
She held Xingxing and watched the heavy snow for a long time. Only when Xingxing was finally willing to look away did she put him down.
Then she squatted in front of Xingxing and said to him mysteriously, "Baby, Mommy and your Aunt Linlin have prepared a small gift for you. Do you want to know what it is?"
Xingxing stared at her mother's bright eyes for a few seconds, then shook her head dishonestly.
He already knew it, because his mother's secretly excited voice was a little loud, and it was hard for him not to know.
The next second after shaking her head, Xingxing saw her mother's eyes curved with a smile, and she said with a bit of pride: "It's a very special gift. It's just outside the door. Can you go and see it yourself?"
Full of anticipation, and a little bit of showing off hidden in the anticipation.
At this moment, the mother looked like the little girl that Xingxing drew on the drawing paper yesterday, childish and cute.
Xingxing also smiled with her eyes curved, then she took her mother's hand, supported the long tail of the little dinosaur behind her butt, and walked slowly towards the door.
The closer I got, the louder my mother's heartbeat became.
Xingxing already knew what the little gift was.
But when he opened the door and saw the little mushroom snowman placed at the door, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide in surprise.
