Sansan really likes Xiao Zuo and Xiaoyou, and gets excited when mentioning the two of them.
Last time we were in Beicheng, Sange’s kids had a lot of fun. Sansan also added Xiao Zuo and Xiaoyou as friends. The three of them usually chatted in the group. Although they were rarely online at the same time due to the time difference, Sansan shared They respond to everything.
The three of them had secretly discussed playing together during the summer vacation. Sansan proudly said at that time that they would come to New York and stay at her house. Now it was finally time to fulfill their promise.
Zheng Pianqing didn't resist Xiao Zuo and Xiao You. They were indeed very cute children. Even she, who didn't like little boys very much, couldn't dislike them.
"You have to ask them what they think about this." Zheng Pianqing said to Sansan, "If they agree, there will be no problem."
Sansan is an activist, so she immediately took out her mobile phone and sent a voice message to the group.
It happened to be the weekend. After getting up in the morning, Xiao Zuo Xiaoyou got his mobile phone and the news came back soon.
——
By the time dinner was over, it was already early nine o'clock.
Sansan was too excited to attend the award ceremony at noon today and did not take a nap. The battery was exhausted on the way back and she fell asleep in the car.
After Zhou Yi saw Sansan asleep, he habitually turned up the air conditioner in the car a few degrees, and Zheng Pianying happened to notice this action.
Sansan fell asleep, and there was no lively person in the car. Zheng Pianqian and Zhou Yi fell into silence again.
But the silence this time was subtly different from the previous ones - Zheng Pianqing's silence before was somewhat filled with resistance and disregard. When she was silent, she would fixate her posture, and her defensive state was obvious.
But this time it was different. Like San San, she leaned back on the chair and looked very relaxed. She occasionally picked up her phone to look at it, and occasionally turned her head to look out the window, as if the silence this time was just to avoid waking San San. three.
Zhou Yi observed the whole journey through the rearview mirror. When he was about to drive back to the villa area, Zhou Yi asked Zheng Pianqing in a low voice: "Do you want to wake Sansan up?"
"No," Zheng Pian Ting put the phone back into her bag, "She's very sleepy today. You can carry her down later."
Zhou Yi's hand on the steering wheel tightened, "Okay."
For other couples, the conversation just now was probably commonplace, but such a calm daily conversation between Zhou Yi and Zheng Pianqing had rarely happened before - especially after the storm of identity exposure.
After about five minutes, the car stopped at the gate of the villa.
Zhou Yi unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car, closing the door very gently.
He walked around the car, opened the back seat door, and picked Sansan up with ease.
Being suddenly moved, Sansan snorted in his sleep and opened his eyes to take a look.
Zhou Yi touched her head, held her head and buried it in his shoulders, "Go to sleep, daddy will take you back."
Sansan said "hmm", put her arms around Zhou Yi's neck, and fell asleep again.
Zheng Pianqing stood nearby and witnessed this scene, her eyes softened unconsciously.
At this time, she clearly realized the change in her way of thinking - when she saw Sansan's dependence on Zhou Yi in the past, the first emotion that came to her was worry, fearing that Sansan would not be able to live without him, and that Zhou Yi Let San San down just like he let her down before.
Although this thought has not completely disappeared now, at least it will not occupy a large area of her thinking. She can at least appreciate the scene just now from a third-party perspective.
Because that scene looked really warm.
Zhou Yi sent San San to the bedroom and left. Zheng Pian Ting helped San San change her clothes. When she went downstairs, she found that Zhou Yi was still standing in the living room without leaving, seemingly waiting for her to come down.
When Zheng Pianqian walked down the steps, Zhou Yi turned around and looked at her: "Are you done?"
Zheng Pianqian said "Yeah", "Do you want to drink water?"
Zhou Yi nodded and followed Zheng Pianqing to the restaurant.
In this way, Zheng Pianqing was even more sure that Zhou Yi had something to say to her.
After arriving at the restaurant, Zheng Pianqian took a bottle of water from the refrigerator and handed it to Zhou Yi. When Zhou Yi took the water, he was stunned for a moment.
Zheng Pianqing handed him lemon-flavored sparkling water.
This was his habit of drinking water for many years. When they were in love, there was always water of this flavor in the refrigerator.
Zhou Yi unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip. The sourness and bubbles of the lemon stimulated the tip of his tongue at the same time.
After swallowing it, he smiled and said with some emotion: "I didn't expect you to still remember that I like to drink this."
Zheng Pianqing was also startled.
If Zhou Yi hadn't mentioned this, she wouldn't have realized that she remembered it so clearly.
"Maybe you're used to it." Zheng Pianqing didn't avoid the question. Compared to before, her reaction was much calmer now, "I drink this often."
Zhou Yi stared at Zheng Pianqing for a long time and said, "You seem to have changed a lot now."
Zheng Pianqing: "Isn't this good?"
She put the question directly to him.
"It's good." Zhou Yi's voice was a little bitter, "As long as you are really happy."
"I am very happy that Sansan can grow up healthy and happy." Zheng Pianqing's tone softened a lot when she mentioned Sansan.
Zhou Yi pursed his lips, "What about you? Besides San San, do you have any other goals?"
Zheng Pianqing: "Let nature take its course."
She looked at Zhou Yi with a slightly burning look, as if she had already guessed what he was going to say, "I will not interfere with your relationship with Sansan in the future. It's fine as it is now."
Zhou Yi nodded, "I understand what you mean."
After that conversation, he actually had no expectations for the relationship between the two of them. He had made her experience so much pain. When she saw him now, she would definitely think of those heart-wrenching experiences.
"Would you feel aggrieved if I'm like this now?" After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Yi still asked this question.
Zheng Pianqian didn't understand what he meant for a while: "Wronged?"
Zhou Yi: "Would you think so when you see me and Sansan getting along?"
"You took a lot of risk to give birth to her. I just played with her and didn't put a lot of time or energy into her, but..."
"I did it before, but not now." Zheng Pianqing interrupted Zhou Yi, "You are very good to Sansan and you are a good father."
Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, "Do you really think so?"
Zheng Pianqing nodded, "From Sansan's point of view, you are."
Zhou Yi: "Then...is this a compliment?"
Zheng Pianqing: "You can think so."
Zhou Yi felt as if his throat was suddenly blocked by something. He was choked for a long time and didn't know what to say.
In just a few dozen seconds, the emotions in his eyes changed one after another.
Surprise, astonishment, joy, enlightenment, loss, mixed feelings——
"We can get along like ordinary friends in the future. If you have ideas about Sansan's education, we can also have a friendly discussion."
