A counselor once told Zheng Pianqing that when she could face the past with a stable emotion, it meant that she had embarked on a better path.
Zheng Pianqing knew this criterion in her heart, but she had always been instinctively reluctant to mention that past, especially when facing Zhou Yi himself, she was unwilling to talk about it.
Today, I was forced to ask him this question, so he poured out his words: "I've finished speaking, are you satisfied?"
Zheng Pianqing looked directly into Zhou Yi's eyes, watching tears welling up from his eyes, "I am able to get to where I am today because of the support of my brother and sister. I don't hate you, and I don't want to waste time getting back at you. .”
"But I love you," he said.
"You don't love me." Zheng Pianqing vetoed his words, "You pestered me at first because you saw that I was unwilling to take the initiative towards Qin Lie, and later because you felt guilty after knowing about my illness. You just wanted to make your conscience feel better. Just a little.”
"I'm not." Zhou Yi denied it with strong emotions. These three words were almost yelled out. After yelling, he immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, Pianpian, can you give me time? I am Really love you and our daughter.”
"I don't deny your love for Sansan." Zheng Pianqing's voice was a little tired, "Please let me go. I'll pretend that what happened this time never happened. If it happens again, I won't do it no matter what you say." Let you see her again."
Zhou Yi did not let go of Zheng Pianqing.
He kept taking deep breaths and stared at the indifferent Zheng Pianqing for a long time. His voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible: "Do you think I am telling you this to get you to agree to continue seeing Sansan?"
His sadness, guilt, and love, in her opinion, are all pretense, tools, and excuses.
His image in her heart was so unbearable that anything could be used as a bargaining chip to achieve her goal.
"If you don't want to see me, I can take back what I just said." Zheng Pianqian ignored Zhou Yi's pretentiousness and was not willing to waste her time explaining to him that she had no obligation to take care of his emotions.
"I want to see you." Zhou Yi also knew very well that Zheng Pianqing would not explain to him.
He forced himself to calm down, and after taking a deep breath, he let go of her shoulders and took a step back, "Can I go in now?"
Zheng Pianqian turned around and left, leaving only two words: "It's up to you."
Zhou Yi looked at her back and did not follow her immediately - he knew that he must be in a very embarrassed state, and Sansan would be worried when he saw it, and he needed to calm down before he could see her.
Zhou Yi raised his hand and wiped it randomly on his face a few times. When his fingertips touched tears, he laughed at himself, his shoulders shaking.
What a turn of events.
He has been an emotional person since he was a child, and crying is not uncommon, but he has never shed tears because of love.
When he watched others cry and collapse for him, he never thought that this day would come to him.
Zhou Yi calmed down at the door for a while, and then stepped into the yard.
He stopped at the door, and within a few dozen seconds after pressing the doorbell, Sansan ran over and opened the door for him.
The moment he saw Sansan, Zhou Yi suddenly felt that his heart was softer than before, and the wounds that had been stabbed seemed to be healed by a panacea in this second.
Zhou Yi walked into the living room and picked up San San.
He hugged her a little suddenly, and after Sansan called out, she started to giggle, "Uncle Zhou, you are so strong!"
Sansan's head is relatively tall. In the past two years of school, Zheng Linxu has rarely hugged her, and Zheng Pianqi is even less likely to hug her.
Zhou Yi and Sansan sat down in the living room. Sansan happily shared what happened in the summer camp with Zhou Yi. Only then did Zhou Yi realize that Sansan was not at home during this time. It was probably because Zheng Pianqing was looking at her. I was in a bad mood and wanted to divert her attention, so I signed up for summer camp.
"What happened this time is my fault. If I want to leave in the future, I will tell you in advance." Zhou Yi promised San San.
Sansan: "Okay, if you make bread for me, I can forgive you."
Zhou Yi was amused by her arrogant little expression: "Okay, come to my house tomorrow? Or I'll prepare it and deliver it to you."
"Well, we can't do it tomorrow." Sansan shook her head regretfully, "My mother and I are going to Vancouver tomorrow."
Zhou Yi: "Tomorrow?"
Zheng Pianqing's purpose in taking Sansan out to play in such a hurry is obvious.
Zhou Yi smiled and replied: "It doesn't matter. I can go play with you first and make bread for you when I get back."
Sansan: "Are you going too?"
Although she wanted to play with Zhou Yi, she didn't forget the important point: "Mom won't take you there."
Zhou Yi: "It doesn't matter, she won't take me, I can go by myself."
He lowered his head to San San's ear, lowered his voice and whispered to her, "When the time comes, you will..."
——
When Zheng Pianqing came down from upstairs, she saw Zhou Yi whispering in Sansan's ear.
I don’t know what was said, but Sansan’s expression was very happy.
Zheng Pianqing saw Sansan's happy state, and her tolerance for Zhou Yi became much higher unconsciously - she was aware of it, but couldn't control it. Maybe this is the instinct of a mother, to treat all people and things that can make her children happy. , will be tolerant.
"Mom, you're down." Sansan spoke to Zheng Pianqing immediately after seeing her.
Zheng Pianqing nodded, "Get ready, it's time for dinner. Today we have cheese potatoes that you like."
Sansan's eyes were bright, and she turned to ask Zhou Yi: "Uncle Zhou, do you want to stay for dinner?"
Zhou Yi glanced at Zheng Pianqing.
Zheng Pianqing gave him a "casual" look. Anyway, it wasn't just once or twice that he used Sansan as an excuse to stay for dinner.
When Zheng Pianqian thought Zhou Yi would follow suit and stay, Zhou Yi rejected Sansan's proposal: "I won't stay and eat. I have something to do when I go home."
Sansan: "Okay, let's chat~"
Sansan didn't force Zhou Yi to stay. After getting up from the sofa and sending him out, she took Zheng Pianqing's hand and went to the restaurant.
Sansan didn't eat very seriously when she went to the summer camp. When she got home, she had a huge appetite and ate a lot.
At around nine o'clock, Zheng Pianyan returned to the room after taking a shower, and Sansan had fallen asleep holding the storybook.
Zheng Pianqian got on the bed lightly, took out her mobile phone to confirm tomorrow's itinerary information, and then turned off the light and went to sleep.
——
The flight from New York to Vancouver took seven and a half hours. Zheng Pianqing and Sansan watched two movies and slept for a few hours, which was not particularly difficult.
When the flight landed, it was already dark in Vancouver.
But Zheng Pianqing didn't have to worry about transportation, because Zheng Linxu arranged for a driver to pick them up.
When Zheng Pianqing dragged her suitcase and led Sansan toward the airport pick-up port, someone suddenly tapped her on the shoulder.
Zheng Pianqian was startled, and when she turned around and saw the person coming, she was surprised.
"Long time no see." Mu Chen looked at her with a smile, "Do you want to bring Sansan to play?"
