Su Yi finally agreed to Ms. Xu's request. First, she felt that Sheng San was cute. Second, she was really bored recently. She could move to a bigger house, be picked up by a luxury car, and get paid. Why not agree to such a good thing?
Another thing, although she was reluctant to admit it, she thought she was a cold-blooded devil, but in fact, she couldn't be so cruel as to reject a mother who was devoted to her children.
However, in order to avoid falling into a boring situation again, she asked Ms. Xu for some work. She didn't stay as a guest as originally agreed. After all, the so-called distinguished guest sounds good, but it's actually a bit awkward. Instead, she stayed as a flower arranger - to put it better, a freelance florist.
It just so happened that the original owner had taken courses in flower arrangement and art appreciation. Su Yi was a photographer in her previous life and felt that she had some aesthetic taste. She should be able to do a few flower arrangement.
When she leaves the ecological park, she might be able to make a living from this. After all, she was the exclusive florist of the Sheng family, so of course she had to raise this banner!
That night, after taking Su Li'an home, Su Yi mentioned this to her son.
"Moving?" The child opened his eyes wide, panic flashed in his eyes, he pursed his lips, tugged at the corner of his clothes with his fingers, and asked cautiously: "Are you taking me with you?"
Su Yi was stunned for a moment, hugged the small body, ruffled the child's soft hair with her hands, and said: "Are you silly, son? Who else should I take if not you? You don't think I'm going to abandon you, and you're ready to cry, right?"
"I'm not crying!" Su Li'an struggled hard in her arms and refused to admit it.
Su Yi laughed, hugged him and said with a sly smile: "Little baby, don't cry, mommy will hug you."
The child's face turned red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or embarrassed. Finally, he let him get rid of Su Yi's clutches and ran into the bathroom.
"Do you want mommy to give you a bath, baby?" Su Yi shouted from behind, not even bothering to hide the smile in her words.
The angry little brat banged the washbasin loudly.
The next afternoon, Ms. Xu sent a car to pick them up. Su Yi carried two suitcases, one large and one small, to the kindergarten to pick up Su Li'an, and took a car to the ecological park.
"Is Sheng Hengrong there too?" Su Li'an asked.
Su Yi flipped through a magazine and shook her head. "He lives in his own home, but he may come over on weekends. Why, do you miss him? Did you make new friends in kindergarten?"
The little brat muttered in a low voice.
"What?" Su Yi tilted her head to look at him.
Su Li'an said louder, "Their games are childish. I don't want to play with them."
Su Yi didn't know what to say for a moment. Her five-year-old son thought other children were childish. She really wanted to ask him if he knew how to write the word childish.
She thought for a while and said, "If you think they are childish, you can take them to play some non-childish games. If you just complain, you can't change anything and you will always be alone."
Su Li'an frowned, not quite understanding.
It was already evening when the car drove into the villa area of the ecological park. The sunset covered half of the sky, dyeing the whole world crimson.
This place is beautiful and very private. The lush vegetation isolates and hides the villas.
Su Yi got out of the car with the child. The warm wind blew her skirt, and the wind brought the freshness of grass and the fragrance of flowers.
The whole villa was brightly lit, and people were busy walking around from time to time. Only in a room on the second floor, the curtains were tightly closed and the light was extremely dim, making it impossible to tell whether there was anyone inside.
Su Yi remembered that Sheng San seemed to be standing by this window that day. It should be his bedroom or study.
The driver helped her carry the luggage in. Uncle Gu had already arranged guest rooms. The two connected rooms on the second floor were close to Sheng San's room. Ms. Xu did not live here.
Su Yi accompanied Su Li'an to wash his hands and face, and packed his luggage for him before going downstairs to eat together.
Perhaps because the host family likes cleanliness, there are few people at the table. Most of the people who were walking around before were staff members of the villa area, and they had all left at this time. The only people downstairs were Uncle Gu, who invited them to come downstairs for dinner, and a middle-aged woman named Qin Ma who was busy in the kitchen. These two people really worked for the Sheng family.
Sheng Yunzhou still didn't show up. Su Yi asked politely, and Uncle Gu said that the other party was eating in his room.
So she and Su Li'an occupied the long dining table. Facing a table full of food, although the child ate fairly politely, Su Yi found that he picked up his chopsticks more frequently than at home.
Well, although her cooking skills are just passable, they are really incomparable to Qin Ma's, just like the gap between an apprentice and a chef.
Seeing their good appetite, the happiest person was Qin Ma herself. She had served several hosts in the Sheng family for decades, and each of them had a smaller appetite than the last. Now that two such supporters came, she felt full of energy. Before dinner was even finished, she had already asked Su Yi and Su Li'an what they wanted for supper.
As for the real reason why Su Yi appeared here, the staff didn't know, but Uncle Gu and Qin Ma knew it, and Ms. Xu didn't want to hide it from them.
To let a living person live in for no reason, just because another person might be happy to see him, this kind of thing would only sound absurd to others, but to the two people who watched Sheng Yunzhou grow up, they didn't think there was anything wrong with it - this family should have had more people.
After dinner, Su Yi took Su Li'an for a walk in the garden to prevent the child from having food accumulation.
The castle they built last time was still there. Su Li'an saw it and immediately ran over. He walked around the sand and saw some signs of collapse. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to squat down to reinforce it. Halfway through, he remembered something and asked Su Yi expectantly, "Can I play with the sand for a while?"
Su Yi nodded, "Play for half an hour, then take a bath."
The child was playing there. She walked to the place where she chatted with Lin Luoluo last time and sat down. She smelled the fragrance of flowers in the night breeze and looked at the night sky for a while.
When she didn't notice, the curtains of the room on the second floor were slightly opened.
No child can resist the charm of sand. Although they agreed to play for half an hour, in the end, Su Li'an was urged by Su Yi to take a bath.
If the child listened to whatever she said during the first few days after she came, he would dare to delay her now. Su Yi didn't know whether to be happy that she was competent and the little brat was close to her, or to worry that the kid would be difficult to teach in the future.
The mother and the child each had a room. Su Yi was worried that the child was shy since she was new here, so she stayed in Su Li'an's room and waited until he fell asleep before leaving.
It was late at night. In the garden outside the window, insects kept chirping. In the small woods behind the house, unknown birds cried from time to time at night. By the small river a little further away, frogs croaked continuously.
All these sounds made the villa even quieter.
Earlier, with Su Yi's hearing ability, she could still hear the sound of Uncle Gu walking in the corridor, and now even he went to rest.
She yawned, rubbed the wool on the quilt, and slowly closed her eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, she was suddenly awakened by a small noise. She listened to the side and confirmed that it was Su Li'an's voice. The child seemed to be knocking on the door and calling her, but it was not her door that was knocked.
Su Yi immediately turned over and walked out while tidying up her pajamas. The closer she got to the door, the clearer Su Li'an's voice became. At the same time, she heard the sound of another door opening.
The child's unique milk voice stopped abruptly. Su Li'an probably realized that he had knocked on the wrong door. He paused for a few seconds before saying helplessly with a crying voice: "I, I'm looking for my mother..."
The other party's answer was a series of suppressed coughs.
That wasn't Uncle Gu, and Aunt Qin was downstairs. Besides them, there was only -
Su Yi opened the door and saw Su Li'an dragging his pillow, standing outside the door on the other side of his room. There stood a man in the door, more than 30 years old, tall and thin, holding the door frame with his slender and pale hands. He was also wearing pajamas, buttoned to the top, with the hem and cuffs neatly tied, without a wrinkle on his body, so straight and straight that one would wonder if he had just climbed out of bed.
Su Li'an saw her, ran over immediately, and threw himself into her arms.
Su Yian touched his head soothingly, "Did you have a nightmare?"
The child said pitifully, "I want to sleep with you..."
"Okay." Su Yi said, "You can sleep in my room for three nights, and then you have to sleep by yourself, otherwise your friends will laugh at you."
Su Li'an rubbed against her arms for a while, then felt embarrassed, blushed and lowered his head and hummed.
Su Yi smiled, took his hand and walked to the door of another room.
Sheng Yunzhou seemed to have planned to close the door, and when he saw them coming, he stopped his hand movements, but he still stood at the door and had no intention of coming out.
Su Yi said apologetically: "Sorry, the child is familiar with his own bed."
"Ahem...it's okay."
This was the first time Su Yi heard Sheng Yunzhou speak, his voice was a little hoarse, not sure if it was because of coughing or because he didn't speak much.
It was late at night, and she was not ready to talk to anyone. Just as she was about to say good night, she heard the sound of the door opening and closing. It was Uncle Gu who heard the noise and came out. His hair, which was smooth and neat during the day, was a little messy now.
When he saw Sheng Yunzhou, he was startled at first, then walked over quickly and wanted to support him, but he was rejected by the other party.
Uncle Gu then looked at Su Yi and asked, "Why are you awake, Miss Su? Didn't you sleep well?"
Su Yi had to explain again. She could see that he was a little worried about Sheng Yunzhou's body after getting up in the middle of the night. The fingertips of his hand holding the door handle were slightly white, almost bloodless. Uncle Gu wanted to help him, but he didn't dare to do so because of the other party's previous refusal.
It felt like he would fall down if he stood for a little longer.
Su Yi touched Su Li'an's head and said, "Stop disturbing you, son. Say goodnight to your uncle."
Su Li'an stuck to Su Yi's side, looked up at Sheng Yunzhou, and just as he opened his mouth, Uncle Gu suddenly remembered something and said, "The generation division is wrong. Your son is of the same generation as Rongrong, so you should call him uncle."
