Chapter 185: Throwing a tantrum and begging for help from uncle
"Are you crazy? This is the fourth floor. If you fall down, your long arms and legs will be broken."
Meng Shuyue quickly opened the window a little and nervously grabbed his collar, fearing that he would fall.
But the man outside the window squeezed in quickly through the crack, like a big, smooth loach. Without giving Meng Shuyue any reaction, the man picked her up and put her on the table.
Noses touched each other, eyes wide open.
There is also a hint of angry sparks in the ambiguity.
Meng Shuyue felt his heart skip a beat, and he stuttered a little, "You... why are you so fierce? It's not enough to act like a hooligan outside, do you want to..."
"What did Bai Qingfeng do to you today?"
"Did I tell you not to have too much contact with Bai Qingfeng? His family background is not as simple as you think."
Shen Jinxiao's eyes were red as he stared at the woman in front of him who was still looking at him with a pair of misty eyes. Thinking that she might have looked at Bai Qingfeng with the same eyes at noon, a nameless fire burned in his heart.
God knows how uncomfortable it was for him to hold this anger in for the entire afternoon.
He didn't know how he lost control just now, and he climbed up to the fourth floor along the water pipe to see her without caring about anything.
He couldn't bear the days of pretending to be a mortal enemy with his wife. He just wanted to cling to her and kiss, hug and lift her up every day.
He was furious, but the woman in front of him curled her lips and refuted him in a buzzing voice, "Bai Qingfeng is of course not a simple person. You just have a prejudice against him. You had a lot of opinions about him when you first met him a long time ago..."
Meng Shuyue kept talking, and Shen Jinxiao listened carefully without refutation.
Suddenly Meng Shuyue thought of something, raised her eyes and looked at Shen Jinxiao in surprise, "You... have you recovered your memory?"
“I don’t remember!”
Shen Jinxiao gritted his teeth. He didn't remember the fool who treated his own son, daughter, and wife as someone else.
He held Meng Shuyue's face, and after he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to bite her lips.
The albizzia flowers outside the house fell down one after another. The wind blew past, and the pink fluffy petals were picked up and fell quietly in front of the window.
Under the dizzy and shaking ceiling, Meng Shuyue tilted her head to look at the flower, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, but before they could fall, they shattered on her rosy face.
The house was quiet and silent, and the children on the bed were still sleeping soundly.
Shen Jinxiao lay on the narrow bed, hugging the person in his arms tightly, for fear of disturbing the little person next to them.
He rested his head on the woman's shoulder, looking at the cute little baby sleeping with his hands in a surrender gesture, and couldn't help but smile, "Does Naitang look like you when you were a child?"
Meng Shuyue pursed her lips, squinted her eyes and looked at the candy, her chest inexplicably filled with sweet and happy thoughts.
"Yeah, Naitang looks a lot like me when I was a kid..."
At this point, Meng Shuyue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she thought of something. She was about to struggle to get up from the bed excitedly, but was pushed back into Shen Jinxiao's arms again.
"Can you please stop moving? If you wake the child up, don't blame me."
Meng Shuyue was horrified and turned over to kick the man off the bed, but she held his waist tightly and he couldn't move.
The two of them put their noses together and looked at their reflections in each other's eyes, and their hearts also resonated in unison.
The time on the wall ticked away slowly, and the hour hand pointed to twelve o'clock.
Shen Jinxiao looked at the woman in his arms whose eyes were gradually filled with mist, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
"Okay, I'll just hold you while I sleep, and I won't have any bad thoughts."
"Today is Shi Yu's birthday..."
Meng Shuyue suddenly responded, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere.
Shen Jinxiao sat up, took the woman in his arms and held her in a comfortable position on his knees.
He kissed her forehead and his eyes fell on the photo of Song Shiyu on the desk in front of the window.
The moonlight spread like silver light, falling on the face of the man with a bright smile in the photo.
Shen Jinxiao rested his chin on the top of Meng Shuyue's head, and slowly opened his mouth with red eyes, telling the story of the past.
"Do you know what Shi Yu did on the day of our wedding after he knew that the person you were marrying was me?"
"He cornered me in the men's restroom of the hotel and I was crying and making a scene."
"He said he regarded me as his idol, but I played with his glass beads. He cursed me as an uncle and said how could I steal his nephew's wife."
"Later, I punched him, and he fell to the ground and rolled around, saying that he worked so hard to train himself into six-pack abs, but you didn't even touch them."
"Finally, I got annoyed by his noise and was about to leave, but he grabbed my trouser leg and begged me to give you to him..."
When Shen Jinxiao said this, his throat was choked up, and tears slowly flowed from the corners of his eyes, wetting the broken hair on the forehead of the woman under him.
He hugged the woman in his arms tighter, his voice hoarse and broken, "I'm sorry Shi Yu, I shouldn't have hit him..."
Meng Shuyue curled up in the man's arms, grabbing his collar and crying.
Only the man in the photo on the desktop still smiles like a child who has not grown up, expressing silent love...
＊
The next day.
Meng Shuyue took the children downstairs to eat with a pair of swollen eyes from crying.
Naitang took a big bite of the meat bun in his hand, rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked Big Head and Little Head.
"Did you feel the earthquake when you were sleeping last night?"
Big Head shook his head like a rattle.
Xiaotou held his chin in his hand as if in deep thought, "I didn't feel the earthquake, but I felt like it was raining."
Toffee opened his mouth in surprise, revealing the white buns between his eight big white teeth, "What, is our house leaking?"
As soon as she said this, her little head burst into laughter, "It's leaking! It's you, Naitang, who's leaking. When I woke up in the morning, I found that the bed you slept in was wet. You have no shame at all. You're such an adult and still wet the bed. Hahahaha..."
Naitang was so angry that he screamed and rushed over to hit the man.
Meng's father, mother, brother and sister-in-law were all laughing so hard when they saw the two children playing together.
Meng Shuyue's face turned red immediately after hearing what Xiaotou said.
She hurriedly turned back and secretly pulled off the wet sheets. She quickly washed and hung them up to dry when no one was around, then she breathed a sigh of relief.
If people knew that she was hanging out with a man in front of her children in the middle of the night, wouldn't she be laughed at?
On the way to the construction site after breakfast, Meng Shuyue hesitated for a long time at the bus stop on the side of the road, and finally dialed the number left by Political Commissar Zhang on the note.
"It's me, Meng Shuyue."
Political Commissar Zhang on the other end of the phone was obviously a little surprised, but soon regained his composure, "Well, have you thought it through?"
Meng Shuyue tightened his grip on the microphone, and his eyes gradually became firmer.
"I've made up my mind. I'm willing to participate in 'Plan B' and contribute to the organization."
She wanted to avenge Song Shiyu and wanted the children to call someone "Dad" as soon as possible. So, no matter what dangers they encountered, she wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with Shen Jinxiao.
Passing by a flower shop, she bought a bunch of roses that Song Shiyu used to buy for her every day, and took the bus to his grave in the suburbs.
She placed the flowers in front of the tombstone, bowed deeply several times, turned around and disappeared into the sparse shadows of the trees.
From the trees behind me came bursts of cheerful bird sounds, as if chirping and saying "Have a nice journey".
