Chapter 55 Yes Yes Yes
After dinner, He Tai had other things to do.
He was pressed for time and had heavy tasks to accomplish, but he still had time to take his two children to "spend lavishly" at Miniso on the first floor of the mall, and left in a hurry after paying the bill.
In the world of children, whoever buys them gifts is the best person in the world.
So when she got home in the evening, Chen Xingyue praised Uncle He to her mother, whom she had only met once - of course, she also wanted to avoid doing her homework.
No matter what Chen Yun's stance is, it is hard to say anything bad about such a comprehensive person.
She mainly uses positive emotions to educate her children, and asked: "Have you ever said thank you to others?"
Chen Xingyue suddenly stood up and shouted at the top of her voice: "Yes!!!"
Even though Chen Yun didn't have a heart disease, she was almost scared to death.
She relied on her self-control to "set a good example for her daughter" to not curse out loud. She digested the thought for two seconds and whispered softly, "If you yell like that, my eardrums will almost burst."
Chen Xingyue twisted her body into a pretzel and acted like a spoiled braid: "I always keep my voice down."
The speaker didn't dare to compete with her. Chen Yun wanted to see which part of her body she used to make the sound. She reluctantly flicked her cheek with her finger: "You are cute, and you are right."
Chen Xingyue also knew that she was very likable, and she counted on her fingers the gifts she had received from uncles and aunts recently.
She didn't understand the social interactions among adults yet, and took all kindness as an affirmation of her charm.
The word "love" came too easily to her, especially since her parents put her first after her younger brother was born, to the point where she occasionally took it for granted that she was the center of the world.
It seems that anyone who is unwilling to give to her is too ungrateful.
Similar families develop similar personalities.
Chen Yun was like this when she was a child, the only thing missing was the words "I am the only one" engraved on her forehead. When she became arrogant, she would pretend to be the emperor at home. Whenever she appeared on the stage, she would have to play the background music of "The Empress of China", and her parents would serve her as eunuchs and palace maids.
In comparison, Chen Xingyue was very polite when she was playing house and was willing to let her younger brother be the second prince. The brother and sister would occasionally take turns to ride on each other's horses.
When Chen Yun was a child, she didn't want to do such a hard job. What she wanted to do was to be the focus of the crowd.
As I grow older, those shining moments are like withered flowers, and I can only sigh when I think of them.
Chen Xingyue didn't know about her mother's worries, but she was keenly aware of the slight changes.
Children are actually the most observant species. She suddenly fell in love with the homework in front of her, and framed each word neatly in the grid.
Although Chen Yun looked like she was in a daze, she was still keeping an eye on her daughter. Her sadness instantly disappeared, leaving only secret joy.
She took advantage of her daughter's condition and asked her to recite another ancient poem.
Chen Xingyue followed her mother reading in a daze, feeling that she had been at a disadvantage today, but she obeyed the instructions reluctantly.
For a parent, having this kind of good day is like winning the lottery.
Chen Yun was overjoyed that she didn't have to compete with her daughter. After "finishing work", she gave her daughter a break: "Would you like to watch an episode of TV?"
Even though today is not a day for watching TV, the children seized the opportunity and did not ask “why can they” but rushed to the living room shouting “Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah”.
He ran too fast and kicked over his brother's building blocks.
The high-rise building that Chen Xinyang had worked so hard to build collapsed. Before he could recover from the blow and cry, he was interrupted by the lighting of the TV screen.
He instantly forgot his sadness, climbed onto the sofa and sat down, placing his hands obediently on his knees.
Chen Xingyue was polite most of the time and gave control of the remote control to her brother as an apology.
Chen Xinyang accepted it with pleasure.
He recently fell in love with Ultraman, who was described by his sister as childish. He was deeply fascinated by a monster so ugly that no one on the Internet was selling peripheral products to it. As he watched, his mouth slowly opened and his eyes were filled with admiration.
Chen Yun had a hard time convincing herself with the theory that "someone has to sweep the streets," so she gossiped with her husband: "Does this count as having abnormal aesthetic taste since childhood?"
Song Fenglin really deserves the title of "kind father". He said calmly: "Doesn't it look good? I think it's OK."
Chen Yun no longer doubted that the child's eyes were problematic. She squinted at the child's father, looked him up and down for a while, and said, "It's okay to look like you. At least my wife knows how to pick a pretty one."
In fact, Song Fenglin is not very willing to hear comments from others that his child looks like him.
He doesn't like many of the traits inherited from his parents, and for many years he has tried his best to avoid the similar parts of them, using all his energy to escape the shadow attached to his family. Even now, he can still taste the parts that he has been unable to escape from in the details of his character.
Saying that the children are like their father is often a curse to him.
But the world is really willing to make such compliments. When a pair of children are born, everyone sends their blessings that they will "be like their father".
Every time he heard this, Song Fenglin felt as if someone was choking him. He ignored the so-called social etiquette and corrected the person again and again: "You must be like your mother, that's the best."
For this, everyone praised him for knowing how to take care of his wife's emotions after giving birth.
Song Fenglin thought he was being considerate, but this was not entirely out of consideration. He just believed from the bottom of his heart that if children could grow up like their mother, they would not feel so sad and resentful when looking back on their lives in the future.
But there are exceptions to everything. He echoed his wife's words: "It would be great if he could find a wife as good as you."
Chen Yun waved her hand modestly: "It's just so-so. You're welcome."
Song Fenglin said baldly: "You're welcome, you're welcome."
It sounds right at first, but it's a bit funny when you think about it more carefully.
Chen Yun couldn't help but raise her lips, and asked curiously, "Is He Tai bald?"
Song Fenglin subconsciously touched his thick hair: "Not yet."
Chen Yun expressed regret: "If only he had gone to England at that time."
This "that's good" may not be so good for He Tai.
Song Fenglin once again felt like he was caught in the middle of a conflict between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and avoided it with an awkward cough.
Just then, her cell phone rang. Chen Yun looked down and asked, "If He Tai and I fell into the water, who would you save first?"
Song Fenglin: "Of course it's you."
The answer was quick, but Chen Yun was still not satisfied: "According to the procedure, you should be in a dilemma."
Song Fenglin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This process shouldn't be between you and He Tai."
That's not what she said. Chen Yun: "Sometimes you would hide in the balcony and talk to him on the phone all night long. We didn't do that when we were dating."
Song Fenglin really likes her picky nature, which gives him the feeling of being cared for without having to ask for it specifically.
He said, "Only twice. There is a time difference in the United States, so other times are not convenient."
Chen Yun looked like she had caught something: "I still remember how many times you called me, what about me?"
How could he remember all this? Song Fenglin couldn’t even count the ones from last month.
The tacit understanding he had developed from his marriage life made him take the initiative at this moment: "Do you want to go out?"
Chen Yun giggled, afraid that the child would hear her, so she leaned in close and said, "Perrin asked me to eat crayfish."
Song Fenglin was helpless: "You can go even if you don't cause trouble."
Oh no, what does that mean?
Chen Yun: "You're saying I'm picking on you, right?"
Song Fenglin lowered his shoulders slightly: "I'm happy with whatever you say to me."
All your strength is wasted on cotton, so soft that it makes people want to drown.
Chen Yun patted his arm and said, "Take good care of the baby and look after the house."
She slipped out of the door quietly, picked up a shared bicycle on the street and rode it hard. When she arrived at her destination, she found a pile of broken bodies on the table.
Chen Yun: "You only remembered me after you had eaten?"
Zhou Peilin tapped the beer bottle on the table with her elbow: "He's still drinking."
Chen Yun took out a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator next to her and sat down: "Then I won't drink it. I'll take you home later."
The two of them chatted while eating, but perhaps because they met too often, the topics that could be used as topics recently had been chewed over so many times that they had lost their novelty.
Zhou Peilin simply dropped a bombshell: "I don't want to stay in Ningjiang anymore."
Chen Yun's first reaction was reluctance. After all, they had known each other for more than 20 years, and their life trajectories were basically on the same track, even getting married one after the other.
But she had no intention of dissuading him from any angle, and said, "It's good to go somewhere else to relax. Where do you want to go?"
Zhou Peilin: "Travel around the world."
She stretched out her hand and swiped in the air: "First buy a ticket to Lanzhou, take the big loop route from Dunhuang to Urumqi all the way to Central Asia, go through Turkey and circle Europe, then fly to South America, and you can also go to Antarctica."
This route was drawn by two people in geography class many years ago.
They thought at the time that they could travel to many places together in the future, but the reality was far from their imagination.
Chen Yun was filled with regret: "Remember to send me a postcard, and I'll just pretend I was there."
Zhou Peilin: "Why do you make it sound like you can never go there? There is a chance."
She sometimes jokes about herself now, adding: "It's not like I got divorced before going there."
Chen Yun said helplessly: "It seems that you don't really need to relax, so you've already come out."
Zhou Peilin looked around. It was the busiest time at the midnight snack stalls. The crowd was so noisy that it was hard to squeeze in. There was no trace of sadness, which made her look even more lonely.
She shrugged: "I should be able to get out if I walk a little further."
Chen Yun: "When do you plan to leave?"
Zhou Peilin: "Wait a couple of days. We've almost finished dealing with the divorce. There are still some big items left, so I'll leave them with you first."
It happened so fast that Chen Yun felt a little sore in her eyes.
She thought it wasn't a life-and-death separation, and they would still contact each other on the phone every day, but she still couldn't stop wanting to cry, and blinked hard to fake her emotions.
Zhou Peilin laughed: "Can't you just cry openly?"
Tears rolled down her cheeks. Chen Yun said, "I'm not that sad."
Compared with the reality of impending separation, the contrast between the scene of sending her off to get married back then and today is even more sad.
Adults are occasionally weak, as if it would be more polite to pretend not to see it.
Zhou Peilin silently held her friend's hand and suddenly sighed, "You are right. Love-brained people really don't have a good ending."
This term didn’t exist more than a decade ago. Chen Yun said she was a “flower maniac” and when she was disappointed with her boyfriend she said “sooner or later I’ll be tricked into being sold by a man”.
Those prophecies now hurt people's hearts and make them feel guilty, as if they have done something wrong, and they lower their heads unconsciously.
Zhou Peilin realized that she had said something wrong and tried to make amends: "It's not you who cheated on me, so don't feel embarrassed."
Then he took a big sip of wine and said, "Be a bitch, this is just a small matter!"
She said so, but as expected, she ended up drinking too much.
Chen Yun originally wanted to take her to the hotel, but asked the driver to turn around and go home halfway.
——
It was late at night and Song Fenglin was watching TV in the living room.
He stood up when he heard the door open, and was a little overwhelmed when he saw the drunkard who came in first.
Zhou Peilin could still walk in a straight line. She held onto the wall and kicked her shoes to the side. She squinted her eyes and greeted people: "Hey, Lao Song."
Song Fenglin waved his hands like a lucky cat: "Hey... Yo..."
He used his eyes to try to exchange some information with his wife.
The scene was so funny that Chen Yun couldn't hold back her laughter and raised her chin: "Go and make the bed in the guest room."
Zhou Peilin felt that she had drunk too much. It was as if she saw an invisible tail swaying when Song Fenglin agreed. She leaned on her friend's shoulder and said vaguely, "This is also a love brain."
The words were still ringing in Chen Yun's ears. She felt sad and subconsciously used denial to dispel the ominous meaning of these three words.
Zhou Peilin spoke up for her "comrade": "How could he not be? If you dig deeper, you will find that his mind is full of you."
The word "brain flower" makes the description of blood and horror become steamy.
Before Chen Yun could say anything, Zhou Peilin had already raised her finger towards the male host who had just come out of the guest room: "Tell me yourself, are you?"
Shout louder or you'll wake the kids.
Chen Yun pushed her to the bathroom: "Yes, yes, go take a shower and go to bed."
Only Song Fenglin was left with a confused look on his face. Considering the presence of the female guest, he turned around and went back to his room.
