Ji Changning v Si Chen (22)
Four years later
"Nunuo, don't run around. If you get lost, you won't be able to see your mother anymore."
A City International Airport
The woman had long curly hair and sunglasses covering most of her face. Her fair skin looked even whiter under the light. She was squatting on the ground, holding a brown jacket in her hands, and educating the child in her arms in a gentle voice. The child was dressed coolly, with a black T-shirt and American-style wide-leg jeans with a strong sense of design. He wore sunglasses on his face and his hands were in his pockets.
"Mom, I'm not a two-year-old anymore."
Ji Changning was silent for a moment, "I know, but Mom will get lost."
Nuonuo sighed helplessly and put on sunglasses. Her delicate face looked very much like her mother's. She stretched out her hand and said, "Hold my hand."
Ji Changning took off her sunglasses, revealing her fair and delicate face. She was wearing a leather jacket, a short skirt and long boots, looking beautiful and cool.
The car that was booked was waiting early. Nuonuo handed his small suitcase to the driver and said, "Thank you, uncle."
Ji Changning touched her head, carried her to the child seat, and then sat on it himself.
As the car drove out of the airport, the surrounding scenery kept receding.
Five years ago, she went to Country Y alone. Because she was pregnant, she only stayed at school and at home for two years and adapted to the new environment quickly.
After her child was born, she continued to draw in her spare time. Her finished designs were constantly discovered and she collaborated with more and more brands. Later, she became the chief designer of a niche platform and shined at exhibitions.
Her fame was growing, and she had to grit her teeth to make ends meet in just two years. After giving birth to her baby, all kinds of accumulated emotions almost made her collapse. She was afraid that what she had worked so hard for for so long would be in vain, and that the baby would be like her when she was a child.
Fortunately, Nuo Nuo was really like an angel baby, well-behaved and sensible. The aunt hired by Si Chen was also very reliable, which gave her more time. However, this did not make her feel relieved. Instead, she felt more guilty. This guilt turned into a motivation, a motivation that made her want to stand up faster and faster.
At the beginning, the brands she cooperated with didn't seem to trust that a newcomer with little fame could stand on her own. Ji Changning wanted to prove herself too much, to shut them up with her own strength and make them look at her differently. Looking back now, every midnight of persistence was meaningful.
She has never sent a message to Si Chen for such a long time. When it is late at night and everyone is asleep, she always thinks of the man's focused and serious expression under the night light.
Every year at midnight on New Year’s Day, a message will be sent to my mobile phone on time: Happy New Year.
Ji Changning returned to Tongle and there was no further news.
They seemed to have reached some kind of agreement. Si Chen gave her enough space, allowing her to shine in her own world and make a significant contribution to the industry of outstanding designers.
The building in front of her became more and more familiar, and Ji Changning's heartbeat became a little out of control. She came back secretly.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw a little guy peeling off the candy wrapper skillfully, then he secretly lowered his head. Before he could put the candy into his mouth, Ji Changning coughed.
Nuo Nuo was a little embarrassed and stretched out her hand, "Mom, eat it."
Ji Changning put it in his mouth without hesitation, "You have eaten a lot today."
"Okay." Nuonuo zipped up her small bag and shook her calves awkwardly.
"We're here, miss." The driver said after parking the car.
…
In the autumn evening, the slightly warm sunlight shines on the fallen leaves that are about to wither. The whirling wind still stirs the dead leaves on the ground. Winter is coming.
As soon as Si Chen opened the door, he smelled the fragrance of food. The lights in the living room were on brightly. He was a little confused. He thought that his aunt shouldn't be here at this time.
As soon as he walked in, he saw a small figure on the sofa. When Si Chen saw her profile, his breathing stopped for a moment.
Nuonuo heard the door close and looked back. She had seen that face on her mother’s phone. The aunt in Country Y would teach her how to call people.
"Is that Dad?"
Si Chen seemed to be fixed in place and forgot to react for a moment.
The little girl whom I had seen in the photo countless times appeared before my eyes, as if in a dream.
"You're back?" A voice came from the kitchen and Si Chen looked over.
The face he had been thinking about day and night suddenly appeared in front of him. He was a little dazed. Under the light, the woman was wearing an apron, her hair was tied into a low ponytail, and she was holding a spatula in her hand. She smiled brightly and flamboyantly.
"Si Chen, long time no see."
