"You finish first!"
Chen Yanqiu's voice was filled with a hint of urgency and stubbornness, his deep eyes staring straight at Zhu Tingyue, as if he was afraid of missing every word she was going to say next.
Zhu Tingyue refused and shouted, "No, wait a minute, someone is knocking on the door!"
However, Chen Yanqiu was not moved at all. Instead, he hugged her tighter and said loudly, "No! Say it now! I have waited for so long, and finally waited for you to confess to me. How can I let go so easily!"
"Yan Qiu, open the door, I'm your dad!"
Without him saying anything, the two of them guessed it.
Chen Yanqiu didn't care whether he was his father or not, he just wanted to hear Zhu Tingyue finish what she was saying.
Zhu Tingyue looked at him mischievously: "Your father! Won't you open the door?"
Chen Yanqiu shook his head firmly. No matter who he was, he would not open it!
Seeing his firm attitude, Zhu Tingyue admitted defeat and quickly said, "I love you!" and immediately ran to open the door.
Shen Yingchu outside the door was about to leave, but the door actually opened.
The "father and son" looked at each other for a long time before Chen Yingchu said, "Today is your birthday. I didn't prepare anything for you except this. Take it."
As he spoke, he handed over a box decorated with red silk, which was the size of a palm and looked quite old.
Zhu Tingyue took it in her hand, thinking that since it was a birthday gift from Shen Yingchu to Shen Yanqiu, she should indeed take it, but she didn't know what this ancient-looking object was.
As if seeing her confusion, Chen Yingchu explained himself: "This is the first gift I bought for your mother. I was poor at the time and couldn't afford anything. I saved money for a long time to buy this pair of bracelets. Your mother was so happy for a long time that she didn't want to wear them."
He looked at Chen Yanqiu's eyebrows and eyes, and suddenly felt sad: "At that time, she said that she would pass it on to her daughter-in-law after you got married. In the blink of an eye, you have grown up so much!"
Before he could say the rest, Zhu Tingyue already understood: you have grown up, but she is gone.
Zhu Tingyue listened to his confession, which was like a prodigal son returning home, without any ripples in her heart.
I am not Zhou Ruxin, so I don't know what she thought when the man she made a vow to be with became someone else's husband.
I also can't understand how she felt when the child she gave birth to after nine months of pregnancy turned out to be an illegitimate child.
But it is not difficult to judge her attitude from the fact that she later moved away with her children. She saw and thought clearly.
Zhu Tingyue didn't want to hear him continue. Chen Yanqiu was still there. How sad he would be if he heard it!
"Do you have anything else to do?"
Before Shen Yingchu finished his recollection, his "son" interrupted him coldly, saying that he had indeed treated him badly.
His originally handsome face was now filled with guilt, as if an invisible haze was covering it.
I saw him slowly raise his hands and rub them together a little uncomfortably. The movement seemed a little clumsy and stiff.
He still looked sad, with his head lowered: "Yan Qiu, I know I have let you down, and you have the right to hate me. But, but at the beginning I really didn't expect that your mother and I would end up like this."
"Your name was chosen by your mother and I. We met in September, and September has a nice nickname, Yanqiu, so your name is Yanqiu!"
If he didn't say it, Zhu Tingyue really didn't expect it, but there was a very important question: when he knew Chen Yanqiu, he was called Zhou Qinghui! Not Chen Yanqiu at all!
Therefore, from beginning to end, the only one trapped in the same place was Chen Yingchu!
Zhu Tingyue suddenly felt that the birthday present in her hand was a bit disgusting. Perhaps, what was disgusting was not the thing itself, but the person who had betrayed her in the past and now looked as if he was full of regret.
Zhu Tingyue handed him the things in her hand: "Take your things back, I don't want them."
Chen Yingchu thought that she could feel him to some extent, but she didn't expect that he didn't even want the things: "You take it, this is your mother's wish, when you get married, then..."
"Humph! I don't need your stuff. When I get married, I will buy it for my lover. I won't keep saying that I'm poor and can't afford it, and make promises as a joke;"
"I wouldn't be so deeply in love with him just now and then turn around and abandon him like a worn out shoe; nor would I be so fickle after getting married and having children, ignoring him and the children for more than 20 years and now reminiscing about the past!"
Zhu Tingyue finished speaking in one breath, and she felt a lot more relaxed in her heart. No wonder she got angry when she saw Chen Yingchu, he was really annoying!
Shen Yingchu was ridiculed, and looking at this face that looked like his own, he couldn't say a word for a long time.
He trembled with his lips and did not open his mouth for several times. His face was pale, as if he had suddenly suffered a heavy blow.
Zhu Tingyue just threw the box that had been passed to him for a long time away. He didn’t care what was inside. Zhu Tingyue didn’t care. Chen Yanqiu deserved the best!
The thrown box fell to the ground with a "bang". Zhu Tingyue only saw a yellow edge. Chen Yingchu had quickly picked it up, wiped it carefully, and quickly put it back.
It's just a gold bracelet? Zhu Tingyue will buy as much as Chen Yanqiu wants!
Without looking at him anymore, Zhu Tingyue turned around and closed the door. As soon as she entered, she met a pair of eyes.
Chen Yanqiu raised a somewhat forced smile, which made Zhu Tingyue uncomfortable. She took a few quick steps forward, hugged him, and rested her chin on the top of his head, silently comforting him.
The two of them were silent for a few breaths, and there was no sound outside the door. Chen Yingchu should have left.
"Zhu Tingyue, are you already deeply in love with me? When will you make the promise you made to me? Have you thought of a gift for your wife? And the child! When will you give me the child?"
Zhu Tingyue was still immersed in the sad atmosphere for him. He asked a series of questions, which confused Zhu Tingyue.
With blank eyes, Zhu Tingyue asked: "What?"
Chen Yanqiu suddenly got out of her arms, his face even sadder than before: "Do you treat your promise as a joke? Waiting to reminisce about the past when you are old?"
Zhu Tingyue understood that he was asking for a promise from her based on what she had just said to Chen Yingchu!
Zhu Tingyue turned his face and said solemnly: "Chen Yanqiu, I have always been a single-minded person. With such a long family background, do you still have to worry?"
It would have been fine if she didn't mention her family's academic background, but once she did, Shen Yanqiu became even more worried.
In the past, Chen Yanqiu might have believed it, but he saw that Zhu's mother couldn't eat these days because Zhu Mingchuan had an affair.
With the example of Zhu Mingchuan in front of me, how could I trust Zhu Tingyue?
"You don't believe it?" Zhu Tingyue couldn't believe it. Her parents had such a good relationship, she didn't believe that he didn't feel it!
Shen Yanqiu shook his head: “I don’t believe it!”
Zhu Tingyue didn't know what to say about his anxious look, but then she thought of his growing environment and understood.
Zhu Tingyue said seriously again: "I will only say this once, listen carefully! Chen Yanqiu, I may not love you deeply now, but the rest of my life is long, and I hope you can feel my unswerving love for you."
