“Okay, step back and I’ll walk you to your car.” Jerry Xiao reluctantly backed off. She smiled openly with satisfaction before going to the curb to stop the car. This point of the car, it is very good to stop, only stood for two minutes only, there is an empty car parked in front of them … Zoey To go up, but, he held her hand, suddenly tightened some. Heartstrings trembling, turned back to see his face a little unnatural, dry cough a little, opened: “Sit down one. Yellow cabs usually run the outskirts of the city.”
Was there such a thing? She hadn’t even heard of it in all the time she had lived in this city. Yet, she smiled, nodded, and was unusually cooperative, “Well, we’ll just wait for the blue one then. I’m sorry, Master, I’ll leave later, you go ahead.”
The yellow cab, drove away. By the side of the road, they were left alone again.
“Cold?” He bent his head to look at her. As he spoke, his lips were clouded with white mist, and in the light, his entire profile looked unrealistically handsome. Zoey shook her head, “Not cold.”
With him by my side … It seems, even winter, is warm …
Even though she said she wasn’t cold, he wrapped her in his arms, airtight.
Walked away from one yellow car after another, and in the end, waited for the blue cab. He had no more excuses but to let her up.
Watching the car, slowly, soon to be submerged in the sea of lights, Jerry Xiao sitting in the car, can not think of anything, suddenly started the engine, chasing after the car.
Zoey is looking down at her cell phone to send him a message. Looking up again, she saw at first glance a familiar car appear in the rearview mirror. There aren’t many cars like this on the streets of the city.
Her heart jumped, and she almost subconsciously turned her head back. Under the blinding light, she couldn’t see the number of the car clearly, but she was able to see the figure in the blur at a glance.
Jerry…
Her eyes tightened slightly, and a flash of intense emotion went straight to her heart, “Master, please pull over for a moment! Thanks.”
“It’s just gone and you’re stopping? What the hell?” The driver was a little disgruntled.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry …,” Zoey apologized repeatedly, quickly pulling out money and handing it to the driver. Not bothering to make change, he hurriedly ran down from the car. Sure enough …
The car behind them, also followed and stopped. The driver’s seat pushed open, and that familiar figure got out of the car. Adorned with the light of the street lamps, his figure appeared even more slender. Sinking steps toward her, each step seemed to step on her heart, making her heart, beating so fast …
When he shook himself, he was already being held tightly in his arms with open arms.
====
The streetlights connected into a thin line, enveloping each other. The headlights, vaguely penetrating the darkness, swept over, pulling their embracing figures so long …
At this moment, even snow. Snow, a thin layer fell on their shoulders, hair, they also like completely unaware of the same, only oblivious to continue to entangle …
It seems to be because such a scene in the snow late at night is too beautiful and moving. Even the passing car, can not bear to beep, just afraid of disturbing this pair of deep love …
I don’t know how long it took before they finally let each other go in love. Looking deeply into each other’s eyes, and then, smiling away. The trembling and tacit understanding in the bottom of their hearts was something that the other understood without words.
“Get in the car and take you back.” He took her hand and compared it to the parked car, his voice dark and sexy as hell on a night like this.
“Well …” This time, there was no more refusal. Because, she is very clear, coiled in each other’s hearts that do not want to give up, in the end how strong. Dropping her head, smiling to hide the too obvious emotion in the bottom of her eyes.
The car, slowly slid down the driveway. They always held hands and never parted.
“I told you to get some rest, why did you drive out again?” Zoey asked him gently, her tone was a bit angry, but she couldn’t hide the sweetness. Back here, back to his side, only to understand, the original …
To love, or to be loved, is better than to love one another …
Even such a simple hand-holding feels gentle for all the sharp times in the past …
As if, all those hurts, can no longer be counted …
Hearing her question, Jerry Xiao was silent for a moment, looking intently at the road, turning the corner before glancing sideways at her, “I just watched you leave in your car, about to disappear, and a phrase occurred to me.”
“Eh? What’s the word?”
His eyes, gentle, with a hint of deep, deep sadness. And then Zoey heard his voice a little darker, mellower, “Life, it’s a subtraction – we see one side, and one side less.”
A light sentence, but like a needle in Zoey’s heart, making her heart, along with every cell of her body vaguely painful. The thick sadness made her unable to respond to his words, and she only curled her fingers, holding his hand tighter.
Half a year …
Even if we see each other every day, it’s only 180 days … just …
Eyes, a tight, sourness surged to the tip of the nose, but did not dare to cry. If God is really only willing to give them each other such a short period of time, then, at least, this 180 days, she wants each other, smiling and happy …
Everyone in the house was already asleep when Zoey walked in the door. She stood at the window and watched the familiar car, disappearing from view, before she went upstairs with confidence. Taking off her coat and changing into her pajamas, she pushed open the children’s room, thinking that they must have already fallen asleep at this late hour, but they were actually still sprawled out on their beds playing with puzzles.
The two little ones were actually a little drowsy, not knowing how many yawns they had, but they were still holding back. When they heard the movement at the door, they both reflexively turned their heads sideways to look.
“Still awake?” Zoey rushed in and gently closed the door.
“Zoey , you’re finally home.” KK grunted breathlessly, dropping the puzzle he was holding and rolling onto the big bed.
Nini was a little more spirited than he was, “Thought Zoey was going to get picked up by the big wolf dog again.”
A big wolf dog?
Zoey smiled suddenly, putting the puzzle on the bed away and setting it aside. Climbing into bed, the two children automatically slept one on each side, leaning into the crook of her arm …
“Waiting for Zoey, huh?” Zoey asked the two children, pulling at the covers again and tucking them in.
“Waiting for a surprise.” KK closed her eyes and took a shallow rest, while Nini looked at Zoey with wide, round eyes, “Zoey, hurry up and say it.”
Zoey coughed dryly, unavoidably nervous, “Do you guys want a daddy?”
KK’s half-squinted eyes brightened. But couldn’t help but spit out, “Zoey , why do you keep asking such unconstructive questions?”
“Yeah! KK and I just want daddy so bad. And, we both want Uncle to be our daddy.” Nini chimed in.
Zoey smiles and looks squarely at this for a moment and that for a moment, “Now then Zoey is serious, very serious, about telling you guys. Uncle …”
She paused for a moment, almost imagining the children leaping for joy, and smiled heartily, “He’s your daddy!”
The words fell, and there was silence around them for several seconds.
Zoey didn’t say anything either, the kids certainly needed time to digest the “surprise” and would be too excited to sleep after a while.
But …
After waiting a long time, I’m surprised to hear only a, “Huh?” from Nini. Oh.”
KK actually didn’t even utter a ‘hmmm’, just closed her eyes and looked like she was about to fall asleep.
These two little things, actually so calm about this ‘surprise’? Zoey, with a feeling of failure, looked at the two of them and added, “I mean, Uncle is your real daddy! It’s his blood you’re carrying!”
“Oh.” KK finally spoke, this one, softer than Nini’s voice, just now.
And then, with a very disrespectful yawn, he closed his eyes and fell completely asleep.
Nini also immediately followed her brother’s lead and went straight to dreaming about Chow Chow.
Zoey was dumbfounded. Did these two kids even listen to what she said? Did they even understand what she was saying? Aren’t they very excited at first? How come they were not only not shocked, but also not happy when they realized the truth?
Totally out of her league!
That, in turn, made her feel frustrated and uneasy.
These two kids, they’re not angry, are they?
Actually, she doesn’t know …
The two children, masked under the covers, were already smiling from ear to ear.
That’s wonderful! Uncle really isn’t an uncle anymore, he’s a daddy! Daddy! From now on, they will have a daddy to call, to bully, to stand up for them, and to protect Zoeyfor them!
But who let Zoey come back so late? So, they had agreed long ago that when Zoey said ‘surprise’ later on, they must be very disrespectful, very disrespectful and huff and puff!
Until morning, Zoey was still worrying whether the two kids had digested last night’s words or not. They reacted so calmly, it wasn’t possible that after the facts were laid out, they couldn’t accept the fact that Uncle had become Daddy instead, right?
With an uneasy mood, after breakfast, led the two children out the door. Sitting in the car, still thinking, later if the children refused to call daddy, how she will convince them. Jerry, must be very sad, right?
It’s been so nagging with these questions that it’s depressing.
When the car arrived, she was taking out money to pay, the two children had already carried a bag ‘thud thud thud’ out of the car. zoey still want to talk to them first, but these two little things do not give her a chance, directly into the villa’s back garden.
Zoey followed him inside, only to see Jerry Xiao setting up a barbecue in the garden. Today, he seemed to be in good spirits, even his face was not as pale as usual. He was wearing a simple shirt and pullover, with a new apron he bought yesterday.
That way, it really looked like a family ‘cook’. However, thinking about the mess in the supermarket yesterday, Zoey shook her head repeatedly.
He just stood there, the wind occasionally blowing air through his fine hair, and his whole person looked handsome.
