After a simple stroll during the Lantern Festival, Jiang Zhining took the children home.
It was a little late when they got home, so Song Chen arranged for Song Ye and Xixi to go to bed. Jiang Zhining wanted to help, but Song Chen sent her back to her room to rest.
I have to say that Song Chen is the best helper.
In the evening, after Jiang Zhining took a shower and went to the main room to drink water, she met Song Chen who was sitting in the yard.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhining walked forward curiously and sat down next to him.
"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Zhining asked in confusion.
Song Chen turned his head to look at her, and his eyes, which were always gloomy, now held an indescribable worry.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhining asked with concern: "Did something happen?"
Song Chen thought for a moment and then spoke in a hoarse voice, "Will you abandon us?"
Jiang Zhining looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect him to ask such a question.
Song Chen couldn't help but clench his fists and purse his lips slightly.
"No." Jiang Zhining was stunned for two seconds and answered truthfully. "Why do you ask?"
Song Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he suppressed the emotions that surged in his heart: "You are very good and very capable. Many people like you."
Tonight at the Shen family, he felt that Jiang Zhining was liked by others. According to her conditions, she could definitely find a better partner.
Song Yuzhou has three children to support, so this is a bit of a shortcoming.
In addition, he was often on missions and had little time to spend with Jiang Zhining. His mother couldn't stand the loneliness, so she got together with another man and abandoned them.
He finally accepted Jiang Zhining and was afraid of being abandoned again.
Listening to his words and sensing the emotions he was trying hard to hide in his eyes, Jiang Zhining's hand fell on her head: "Are you afraid that I will divorce your father and abandon you?"
Song Chen didn't look at her, but lowered his head and nodded.
"Song Chen, you still don't know me well enough." Jiang Zhining said calmly.
Hearing this, Song Chen raised his head and looked at her.
When they made eye contact, Jiang Zhining's eyes were clear.
"I, Jiang Zhining, am not the type of person who falls in love with others easily. No matter what I do, I will never give up easily."
Looking at her expression, Song Chen's heart was filled with ripples.
"When I had a crush on someone, it took me four years to let go. Now I'm in love with Song Yuzhou, and he made me understand that I can be cherished and loved. So as long as he doesn't change, I will stick with him for the rest of my life."
Jiang Zhining knew very well what she wanted, and Song Yuzhou was what she wanted.
"So, we won't be abandoned, right?" Song Chen wanted to get a definite answer. Even if it was a white lie, he would believe it.
Jiang Zhining looked into his eyes and answered firmly, "I won't abandon you. You're so good, where else can I find such a good son?"
Song Chen's pupils suddenly opened: "Do you think I'm good?"
"Of course, don't you think you're great?" Jiang Zhining was surprised. "You can take care of your younger siblings and take good care of them. You can help us with the housework and take good care of our family. You're definitely one of the top ten teenagers!"
Song Chen watched in shock as she listed his strengths, her eyes sincere and not lying.
"If I were your age, I would look for a husband based on your template in the future," Jiang Zhining said jokingly.
Song Chen's cheeks turned red and he scratched his head embarrassedly.
Seeing him look silly, which was rare for him, Jiang Zhining felt a surge of sympathy in her heart.
Song Chen, you are rarely recognized.
"Song Chen, don't think too much." Jiang Zhining pinched his cheek, "I'm not like your mother."
Song Chen's throat tightened, and he responded hoarsely, "Okay. You should get some rest early."
Having said that, Song Chen quickly turned around and ran back.
Jiang Zhining stood there and watched Song Chen run away.
"Are you comforted so quickly?" Jiang Zhining was surprised.
Song Chen ran back to the room and quickly closed the door.
At the moment when the door was about to be closed, he held it and closed it gently to avoid disturbing Song Ye and Xixi who were already asleep.
Standing at the end of the bed, Song Chen felt a pang of pain in his nose as he thought of what Jiang Zhining had just said.
He could still hear the ugly curse words his mother used when she beat and scolded him.
"You can't even do such a small thing, Song Chen, you are really useless!"
"Tell your dad to send more money back. Why should I support you if you can't even write these few words properly? Get out!"
"You piece of shit! Your brother stinks of shit! Don't you know how to clean him up? Are you trying to disgust me? Get out!"
“…”
From childhood to adulthood, he has heard too many derogatory words, but no one has ever told him that he is also excellent and great.
Tears wet his eyes, Song Chen's eyes were red, and he wiped his tears silently.
Song Ye woke up from his sleep, sat up drowsily, and rubbed his eyes: "Brother, why are you standing there?"
Song Chen came back to his senses and quickly wiped away his tears: "It's okay, go to sleep quickly."
Song Ye said "oh" obediently and lay down obediently. He saw Song Chen also lying down beside him.
Thinking about Song Chen wiping his eyes just now, Song Ye wondered: Was my brother crying just now?
Song Ye shook his head and immediately dismissed this possibility.
From childhood to adulthood, he had never seen Song Chen shed tears. Even when his mother took off Song Chen's clothes and beat him hard with salt water until he was covered in blood, he did not cry.
How could a brother like this cry?
Thinking of this, Song Ye closed his eyes and went to sleep.
Jiang Zhining and Song Chen separated and returned to the room.
Sitting beside the bed, Song Chen's face appeared in my mind.
Perhaps because they shared the same pain, Jiang Zhining could understand his feelings.
"Abandoned people feel insecure and may need to spend their entire lives to heal the trauma of their childhood," Jiang Zhining said with a sigh.
As long as Song Chen and his two siblings treat her sincerely, she will treat them well even if she separates from Song Yuzhou one day.
Jiang Zhining yawned and lay on the bed.
After turning off the lights and looking at the ceiling, Jiang Zhining recalled the scene in the Shen family and the painting, and her brows furrowed slightly.
"What's going on with Shen Xuesong?" Jiang Zhining muttered in confusion, "Could it be that the senior has also transmigrated into the book? But from the look of him, he doesn't seem to remember anything else..."
Besides, she was dead and traveled through the book, so why did the senior travel through the book? He couldn’t be dead too, right?
Besides, even if it did, there's no reason why it would end up in this book?
Jiang Zhining thought and thought, and felt that her brain capacity was far from enough.
Slowly, Jiang Zhining fell asleep...
