“Boer, don’t worry. Nothing happened.” Xia Ning comforts her, “Colonel Dai has just come back. So, he discusses with his father about some things.”
“Oh…” Li Baoer is still confused. She feels there must be something happening.”
“Sister Baoer, do you like oranges?” Zhenzhen takes an orange and asks.
“Sister Baoer likes all kinds of fruit as long as they are sweet. Does Zhenzhen like oranges?”
Zhenzhen nods. She starts to peel the orange, “Zhenzhen likes oranges and strawberries. Sister Baoer, we can share this orange.”
Zhenzhen is a sweet kid. Baoer likes her. She can’t help thinking that it would be great to have a kid like her.
When Li Baoer looks at Zhenzhen gently, Yi Yunrui is peeling an apple. He glances at Zhenzhen from time to time. He can’t stop the trembling of his heart.
He is clear why his heart trembles.
He passes the apple to Xia Ning. Gently, he removes the hairs on her forehead. He looks at her tenderly. He opens his mouth but he doesn’t speak out the words on the tip of his tongue.
He also wants to have a kid, a kid of him and Xia Ning.
Xia Ning takes a bite of the apple. She realizes that Yi Yunrui wants to speak but stops. Not knowing why, she feels sweet in her heart. She finds some other things in Yi Yunrui’s eyes when he looks at her today.
At the time, Dai Zhongheng and Mr. Dai come to them from the study. Dai Zhongheng happens to see Zhenzhen divide the orange into several parts for Xia Ning, Yi Yunrui and Li Baoer. He is moved, realizing the girl is more obedient than normal five-year-old kids.
Dai Zhongheng sits down by Li Baoer. He takes a tissue and helps Li Baoer wipe the juice on her mouth. He passes another tissue to Zhenzhen, “You like oranges, don’t you?”
“Hum!” Zhenzhen nods, “I like oranges. Uncle, let me peel one for you.”
Saying this, Zhenzhen takes another orange to peel carefully.
Hearing the word “Uncle”, Dai Zhongheng feels his heart aching. He can’t help giving a sigh in his heart.
Zhenzhen finishes peeling the orange. She gives a part of it to Dai Zhongheng and another part to Mr. Dai, “Grandpa Dai, do you like oranges?”
Mr. Dai takes over the orange, “We didn’t have enough food in the war period. We would have whatever we had. So, Grandpa Dai is not picky about foods.”
Zhenzhen cocks her head. She blinks her eyes. Obviously, she doesn’t understand what does that mean. She asks, “Grandpa Dai, when you have time, would you tell me the stories of the war period?”
Mr. Dai pauses. He seems to be thoughtful, “Hum. When I am free, I will tell you the stories.”
“Really? That’s great. Thank you, Grandpa Dai.”
Mr. Dai smiles to look at Zhenzhen’s happy face. Suddenly, he remembers someone’s smiling face and can’t help feeling painful in his heart!
It is his fault.
Sometimes, it is just a turning which makes a missing of a lifetime.
When he looks back, he feels so regretful for what happened.
He didn’t take responsibility. He missed that. He owed it. But things and people change and he can never make it up again.
He only hopes that his fault won’t happen to Heng again. As to some people and some things, it is too late to think of making it up after he has lost them forever.
They chat for a while. Then, Yi Yunrui and Xia Ning leave first for the downtown of C City.
“Ning, you are tired. I go to get the water prepared for you to take a bath.” Yi Yunrui says and walks towards the bathroom.
But he has hardly taken any steps when he finds his hand held by Xia Ning.
“Ning?”
Xia Ning slightly lowers her head, “Do you…have anything to talk with me?”
Yi Yunrui hesitates and soon he understands what she means. He reaches to hold her into his embrace, “Hum. I want to talk to you.”
“Then, you may say. I am listening.” Xia Ning looks at his eyes which are as bright as stars. She feels her heart softened.
“I…” Yi Yunrui opens his mouth, but he mildly smiles. He strokes her face and says gently, “Today, when you were playing with Zhenzhen, the scene was beautiful. I was thinking when we could have a family of three like that…”
Yi Yunrui pauses here. He looks at her with more tenderness.
Xia Ning surely understands what he means. She blushes and lowers her head, “Didn’t you say that we will wait for three months? We are not there yet.”
“Ning, let’s have a baby. Will you? Don’t worry about anything. I can take care of the baby. I won’t make you tired.”
Xia Ning smiles, “That is silly. It is natural for a woman to look after babies. What you say reverses it.”
Yi Yunrui feels sweet. He holds Xia Ning more tightly, “After you married me, you have not enjoyed any easiness. I am worried that you may be tired. I want to have a baby, but I really worry that you may feel tired.”
Hearing Yi Yunrui’s words, Xia Ning secretly makes up her mind, but she doesn’t speak out, “It hasn’t been three months! We have some things not settled yet. If we have a baby now, I am afraid that I can’t control my mood well.”
Yi Yunrui feels his heart tremble. He remembers the problem from Yin’s family. He strokes Xia Ning’s hairs and says gently, “OK. Then let’s keep the three-month plan. It is totally up to you.”
In three months, he has to eliminate all the risks to his wife!
It is late at night. It is dark around. On the road, a black Benz is moving fast. Inside it, there is a man and a woman. The woman is hot. She is drunk. She crouches on the co-driver seat. Her cheek is red, adding with the red lips. She is so sexy that the man is driven crazy.
The man glances at the hot woman. He realizes that something in his lower part turns hard. He feels thirsty. Unconsciously, he unbuttons his coat.
He has spent several months chasing after her and now she is finally with him! The woman is so hot. He is going to really enjoy her later to make it worth the months’ efforts.
Thinking of this, the man glances at Zhou Wenping again. He feels his lower belly tightened and all his blood rush towards his brain. He takes a deep breath.
“Hum…”
Unconsciously, Zhou Wenping murmurs. It sounds sweet and itchy. It gets more tempting.
The man takes a breath and swallows his water. He tentatively asks, “Pingping?”
“I feel dizzy…” Zhou Wenping tries to open her eyes, “Chen, when can we get to your home? I want to go to bed…”
The man puts on a vicious smile. You want to go to bed? I will definitely go to bed with you!
“Soon. It is right ahead. Pingping, you have to be a little more patient. We will arrive very soon.” The man says. He presses the accelerator and speeds up. The car roars away.
The car stops in front of the door of an apartment at the turning. The man says, “Pingping, we get to my home. Wake up.”
Zhou Wenping murmurs. She tries hard to open her eyes and barely sees the house in front of her. She points forwards. Her mouth moves as if she wants to say something. But she cocks her head and collapses into the man’s embrace.
