Chapter 164 Let’s Return to China
Bang bang bang!
Applause broke out again, mixed with ambiguous whistles.
A glorious moment does not need to be recorded in words, it will naturally be imprinted in life's memory and treasured for a lifetime!
It was a unique and wonderful day, spent in happiness and joy. We had dinner outside and went to the amusement park, and didn't get home until night.
Yanyan and Nini were so tired that they fell asleep in the car. Gao Chengze and Su Xiao carried them home and put them to sleep on the bed. Gao Chengze went to take care of work first, while Su Xiao continued to stay in the children's room, staring at them quietly.
The five-year-old child's appearance is becoming clearer and clearer. I remember that when Yanyan was just born, his facial features looked very much like Yun Che, as if they were carved from the same mold. But as he grew older, the similarities became less.
Sometimes when I take them to the nearby park to play, some neighbors who are also from China always say that Yanyan looks a lot like his father.
The father they are referring to is Gao Chengze. If you look closely, you can indeed see the shadow of Gao Chengze in Yanyan's eyes and eyebrows.
But Su Xiao knew that this was not genetic, but a similarity formed by everyone living together for a long time.
I once read a passage online that said that children will gradually become like the person they grow up with and spend time with.
In these five years, if you count carefully, Yanyan has spent even more time with Gao Chengze than with her.
Because of her expectations for Yanyan, and Yanyan happened to be extremely talented in scientific research, Gao Chengze spent a lot of time on Yanyan and focused on cultivating Yanyan.
Gao Chengze is not only good to Yanyan, but also treats Nini as his own daughter. Nini is prone to catching colds, and it would always be on windy, snowy, and rainy nights. Sometimes when the car broke down, Gao Chengze would hold Nini in his arms and run on foot in the wind, snow, and rain. Those profound scenes will remain in her memory forever.
Gao Chengze treats his mother as his own mother and respects her. As for her... it goes without saying that it is a kind of love that cannot be expressed in words.
This house was bought by Gao Chengze in the city center. As Yanyan and Nini grew up, in order to go to school in the city center, they accepted Gao Chengze's invitation and moved in.
There are four bedrooms here, one for Gao Chengze, one for Su Xiao, one for Wang Xiurong, and one for the children's room for Yanyan and Nini.
To outsiders, they are a couple and a happy family of five, but only they know that the gap between them seems impossible to cross.
If she could exchange ten years of her life for falling in love with Gao Chengze, Su Xiao felt that she would be willing to make such an exchange!
When she broke up with Yun Che, although she hated him, the love for him was still there. As time passed, the love gradually faded. Time is really a good medicine. It can let you let go of things that should not be entangled, forget the pain, and be reborn from the ashes.
Unfortunately, it seemed to have taken away all her love.
She has lost the ability to love!
She wanted to love Gao Chengze and become a real couple with him, but no matter how hard she tried, it was always impossible.
"Are Yanyan and Nini asleep? You must be tired too. Do you want to take a shower or change your clothes first?" Wang Xiurong's kind voice faintly reached Su Xiao's ears.
Su Xiao came back to her senses from her thoughts and looked at her mother blankly.
Wang Xiurong also looked at Su Xiao's hair. The beautiful lily of the valley was still pinned on it, so beautiful and moving.
Wang Xiurong took her daughter's hand and squeezed it gently. She was filled with emotions but didn't dare to say them out loud.
Later, Su Xiao asked, "Mom, you just talked to my second uncle on the phone again, right?"
Wang Xiurong's hands stiffened slightly, and she nodded, "Your second uncle said that your brother will be released from prison next Friday, and your brother asked him to ask me when he can return home."
Su Xiao's heart suddenly began to surge.
Life in prison at first did not tame my brother, but instead wore away all his fighting spirit. During those difficult days, he became self-destructive and fought with people from time to time. Once he even hit a prison guard, for which he was sentenced to an additional two years.
Because of the increased sentence, my brother has become completely obedient. Although I don’t know if he has recovered, all the hostility in him has disappeared. I heard that he has made some small contributions in prison. Minus the holidays and some individual dates, he will finally be officially released from prison next Friday.
This news had already reached her last month. Although her mother had been keeping it to herself and hadn't expressed anything, Su Xiao could see that she wanted to go back.
Over the years, her mother has devoted all her energy to her and the children. Although nothing seems to be happening, Su Xiao knows that there is always a corner in her mother's heart reserved for her brother.
I remember when my second uncle called to say that my brother had been sentenced to two years in prison for causing trouble, Su Xiao always saw her mother crying alone. Whenever she came forward to comfort her, her mother quickly put away her weakness and sadness.
During this period, my mother often stared blankly towards the east.
Su Xiao knew that her mother wanted to go back, wanted to pick up her brother from prison, wanted to see her brother start a new life!
"Mom, do you want to go back? How about we go back with you?" Su Xiao suddenly said hesitantly.
Wang Xiurong froze and looked at her daughter in shock.
Su Xiao pursed her lips and smiled, "I miss my brother too. Even though he did a lot of jerk things, he also helped me a lot. He loved me since I was a child and never let those people bully me. I have to remember this kindness."
"But Xiaoxiao..." Wang Xiurong was still very excited.
"Mom, I know why you're worried about me. Time really is a good healer. I no longer have those feelings for Yun Che. Sometimes when I look at Yan Yan and think of Yun Che, I find that I can't remember him anymore."
When Wang Xiurong heard her daughter say this, she was undoubtedly happy, but also extremely shocked.
My daughter, have you really completely let go of Yun Che? You can't even remember what Yun Che looks like?
Wang Xiurong also knew that time could make people forget everything. How many couples who once loved each other deeply still lived their lives as usual after divorce. Even she hadn't thought about Su Yiqiang for a long time.
This shows that there is really no one in this world who cannot survive without someone.
"You think I can't fall in love with you because I can't let go of Yun Che, right? That's not the case. Although I don't understand why I can't fall in love with you, I am sure that I really don't love Yun Che anymore."
Su Xiao's expression turned full of guilt and pain. "Mom, how can I fall in love with my senior? He's such a great man. He's handsome, talented, has a positive outlook, is well-off, and is incredibly kind to me. I must have done so many good deeds in my past life to deserve a man like him. It's a pity I just can't fall in love with him."
"Xiaoxiao..." Wang Xiurong couldn't help but hug her daughter and called out in a low voice with heartache.
"Actually, I also know that Senior Gao wants to return to China. After all, his parents and relatives are all in China. Manman also often tells me that many domestic companies, including some relevant departments, hope that Senior Gao will return and are willing to offer him high salaries, but he has always refused because of me."
Su Xiao sighed deeply. "He's so talented and has such a bright future. How could I possibly hinder him? A talent like him should live out his most radiant moments. So, Mom, if you really want to return home, let's go!"
