Chapter 31: thirty-one
thirty-one:
Lin Luoqing stretched out his hand and pulled Lin Fei's hand down, holding it in his palm. He didn't understand, "Why do you say that?"
"Why do you think you are not likable?"
Lin Fei patiently explained to him, "I don't like to talk, and I don't often laugh. I don't talk about this and that with you. My mother said that others will not like me like this, but Xiaoyu can talk a lot. In other words, he looks good when he smiles, and everyone likes a kid like him, which is normal."
"How is this normal?" Lin Luoqing opened his mouth almost as soon as his voice fell, "Everyone has their own personality, and it's not the one who talks a lot and loves to laugh, or the one who is cute, cute and lovable. To me, you It's cute and well-behaved, and I like you."
Lin Fei was surprised, "But mother said..."
"Your mother was wrong."
Lin Luoqing can probably guess Lin Luoxi's meaning and intentions. He has never heard the names of his classmates and friends from Lin Fei's mouth since he passed through to the present. He is born with a lonely personality and has no interest in many people and things. , he has his own spiritual world, he lives quietly and freely.
But Lin Luoxi probably hoped that he would be like an ordinary child, have friends and partners, and be liked by others, that's why he said these things to him, hoping that he would become outgoing.
But Lin Fei never changed his personality because of other people or things. He never changed himself for others. He only felt that he was not likable, so he would not force others to like him.
"Everyone likes different types, just like some people like apples and others like bananas, you don't need to be bananas, because naturally there are people who like apples, so you just need to be yourself, make yourself happy, and be yourself If you don’t regret it, that’s fine.”
Lin Fei didn't expect to be able to do this, and looked at him in confusion and surprise.
Lin Luoqing approached him, raised his other hand and touched his face, "Xiaoyu is naturally very cute, but you are also very cute, your cuteness is different, I like you better, so I am willing to always like you more."
"You are fine, you have no problem. Your mother's thoughts can only represent herself, not me, let alone other people. What adults say is not necessarily right. She is wrong on this matter, so you don't You need to feel that there is something wrong with you, and you just grow up and live the way you like, and that’s fine. Because no matter what kind of you you are, you will meet someone who likes you.”
"It's like there are apples, bananas, pears, grapes, grapefruits, etc. in this world. They all taste different, but someone will like them. Do you understand?"
Lin Fei watched him quietly.
After a long time, he nodded slightly, "I see."
"So don't say any more that I should like Xiaoyu more. I've already said that I like you the most. Why do you insist on me liking someone else? Next time someone asks you who your uncle likes the most, just tell me loudly. He likes you the most, whether you talk or not, laugh or not, he likes you the most."
Lin Fei's face showed uncontrollable joy, the smile was not obvious, it was clear and faint, as if he had sneaked out and was not under the control of the master's will.
His eyes are like the surface of a lake that has just cleared up after rain, sparkling, clear and beautiful.
He responded in a low voice, "Yeah."
Lin Luoqing shaved his face before pulling him forward.
Lin Fei lowered his head and looked at his own shadow under his feet.
He walked very briskly. He was an overly quiet child since he was a child. He didn't walk in a rush like other boys, but silently.
He stepped on the mottled shade under his feet, as if playing with the shade, walking in the mottled shadow with every step.
Feeling the movement, Lin Luoqing looked back, and saw Lin Fei avoiding the sun at once, stepping on the shadow of the tree, his shadow followed his feet, obliquely hiding in the sun.
Lin Luoqing looked at his childish behavior and thought to himself, he is still a child after all.
The adult Lin Fei doesn't care about these things, nor does he feel happy because others like him.
He is lonely and cold like an iceberg that does not melt for a thousand years, he does not need the company of others, nor does he want to be with others.
But the young Lin Fei still cared about these things, maybe not so much, but he would be touched.
After all, he is still young, immature and soft, his heart is open to the world, if the spring does not come, he will not be sad, but if the spring shines on him, he will open his hands and feel the spring breeze on his face.
Lin Luoqing bent down, and picked up Lin Fei who was still playing with the shade of the tree. Lin Fei had recovered his former calm, and looked at him with three points of doubt, three points of surprise and four points of helplessness that he was all too familiar with. ,"What's wrong?"
"No, it's just that uncle wants to hug you." Lin Luoqing said, "Uncle hasn't hugged you for a long time."
Lin Fei's eyes instantly turned into disgust, "You clearly hugged me yesterday."
"Really?" Lin Luoqing refused to admit it, "I don't remember."
Lin Fei sighed, feeling that his memory was really bad.
But he didn't move around, still leaning against Lin Luoqing's arms - forget it, he's used to it, so let him go.
He tolerated Lin Luoqing skillfully and didn't care about him.
The two lined up to buy pastries together, and went home with a large bag of mochi, puffs, and butterfly crisps.
Ji Leyu has already arrived home, and now he is leaning on Ji Yuxiao's arms and watching TV. When he sees them coming back, he raises his little hand to let them come over.
"Do you want to eat?" Lin Luoqing opened the bag in his hand and asked Ji Leyu.
Ji Leyu looked down, took out a few puffs, ate one by himself, and did not forget to feed it to Ji Yuxiao.
"That's why you let Xiao Li come back first?" Ji Yuxiao asked Lin Luoqing.
Lin Luoqing nodded, "Yes."
Ji Yuxiao naturally didn't believe that he sent Xiao Li away just to buy a pastry, but he didn't ask any more questions, just said, "Go and wash your hands, it's time to eat."
"Okay." Lin Luoqing smiled at him, and took Lin Fei to the bathroom on the first floor.
After dinner, Ji Mu will arrive.
He rang the doorbell, Mrs. Zhang went out to look around, and seeing him, went back to her room and called Ji Yuxiao, "Mr. Ji Mu is outside the door now, saying he is here to give you a wedding present."
Ji Yuxiao smiled contemptuously: "Let him come to my bedroom."
"it is good."
After she finished speaking, Ji Yuxiao hung up the phone and pushed the wheelchair forward.
Seeing him move, Lin Luoqing closed the book and asked him, "What's wrong, who's here?"
"Ji Huai's brother." Ji Yuxiao looked at him and said, "Let's go, go and inspect your wedding gift."
Lin Luoqing stood up in an instant, and pushed him back to the bedroom with a smile.
When Ji Mu entered the house, he saw the elevator door in the house at a glance.
He smiled almost imperceptibly, and thought to himself, yes, with his legs like that, how can he go up the stairs?
He walked over, got into the elevator, and pressed the floor.
In fact, Ji Mu doesn't come to Ji Yuxiao's place very often, their relationship is mediocre, and they usually meet each other with a few perfunctory greetings. In essence, he prefers dealing with Ji Yuling compared to Ji Yuxiao.
Ji Yuling is gentle and polite, has a certain amount of advance and retreat, and is willing to take care of everyone's face, while Ji Yuxiao is different, proud and arrogant, and doesn't bother to say a few words when he meets someone he doesn't like.
When Ji Mu thought of his half-smiling eyes, he felt unhappy, but soon, he became happy again, even if he had been proud for half his life, so what, now he is as low as the dust.
It's ridiculous for a disabled person to marry such a wife.
Forget it, who would care about a disabled person? Ji Mu dusted off his clothes and walked out in a well-groomed manner.
Ji Yuxiao was already sitting on the balcony waiting for him, and Lin Luoqing was with him.
He looked at the garden full of flowers outside the balcony, thinking, "Should we build an amusement park for Xiaoyu and Feifei?"
Ji Yuxiao has no objection, "Build it if you want, it happens that they can play together."
"Then I'll ask them later." Lin Luoqing said.
As soon as the words fell, there was a knock on the door, and Ji Mu walked in.
Lin Luoqing turned around and looked back, and saw a man with well-rounded features, somewhat similar to Ji Huai, he should be Ji Huai's older brother, Ji Mu.
He smiled at Ji Mu and said politely, "Hello."
Ji Mu looked at him calmly. He really looks good. No wonder Ji Yuxiao, who can seduce him, married him. Such a face, coupled with a few sweet words, is perfect for a person who has just experienced a serious physical and mental trauma. , it can be said that it is not a piece of driftwood.
"Hello." He said with a smile, "Xiaohuai is not sensible, and sometimes she doesn't pay attention to what she says. I hope you don't mind. She has no intentions and is not targeting you."
Ji Yuxiao sneered, "She is 22 and still not sensible, so I think she is not heartless, she is brainless."
Ji Huai: ...
Ji Huai just looked down at Ji Yuxiao, Ji Yuxiao was leaning on the wheelchair, lazily, her beautiful phoenix eyes were slightly raised, full of ridicule and sarcasm, but her complexion was pale and sickly, Added a bit of depression.
He has been like this since the accident. He has a bad temper and is unpredictable. He used to be able to speak well, but now it seems that he can't speak unless he ridicules you.
That's right, falling from such a high cloud and becoming what it is now, anyone would be cynical, let alone Ji Yuxiao.
He used to look down at people, as if he didn't pay attention to anyone, but now, he has to sit in a wheelchair and look up at each other. He can't even look up, he can only look up.
Immediately, Ji Mu's mood improved again, he approached Ji Yuxiao, condescendingly, looking down at the person in front of him.
He had never felt that he was so small, weak and bullying.
"Xiaohuai doesn't know what to buy for you. I think you don't lack anything here. Instead of us guessing at will, it's better to discount it for you. You can add whatever you want."
As he said, he lowered his head and took out two checks from his coat pocket, "Here is 166 million. 66 million is Xiaohuai's wedding gift to you. I wish you the best of luck and success. , The 100 million is given to you by me as an older brother, I hope you can be single-minded and live your whole life."
He handed over the check, and Ji Yuxiao calmly raised his hand to take it, and then a smile appeared on his face, "You can speak better than your sister, so thank you cousin for your blessing."
"You're welcome, Xiao Xiao, you are different now. As an older brother, I should naturally care more about you."
Ji Yuxiao's eyes instantly turned cold.
He looked at Ji Mu and said in a cold voice, "The gift is also given, so it's time to get out, do you still expect me to give it to you?"
Ji Mu chuckled lightly, his tone seemed to be sighing and helpless in the face of a naughty child, "You, you still look like this after you're married, you should be more mature and stable, otherwise, if you get hurt someday Sister-in-law, is this bad?"
Ji Yuxiao laughed mockingly.
Lin Luoqing said quickly, "No, he treats me very well."
Ji Mu looked up at him, like a thoughtful elder brother, and said softly, "Xiao Xiao has been like this since he was a child, proud and presumptuous, you will inevitably have to work harder when you are with him, I hope you don't mind."
Lin Luoqing: ...Why does this still smell like tea?
"I don't think it's hard." Lin Luoqing said with a smile, "He treats me very well, so I don't mind at all."
Hearing what he said, Ji Mu only thought that he was expressing his heartfelt to Ji Yuxiao in front of Ji Yuxiao, so he didn't say anything more, just said, "That's good."
Hearing this, Ji Yuxiao chuckled lightly.
Ji Mu felt sensitively that he was laughing at him, and when he looked down, Ji Yuxiao lowered his eyes and didn't even look at him.
It was as if he had never been seen in his eyes.
Ji Mu began to be dissatisfied again, but this is Ji Yuxiao's house after all, so he quickly calmed down the resentment in his heart, and said softly, "Then I'll go back first."
"Go away." Ji Yuxiao said casually.
Ji Mu turned around and left quickly.
When he was almost at the end of the corridor, he saw Ji Leyu holding a water glass and preparing to go back to his room.
Ji Mu called out, "Little fish."
Ji Leyu looked back at him, walked up to him with a water glass, and said sweetly, "Uncle."
Ji Mu laughed, bent down and touched his head, "How are you?"
Ji Leyu nodded.
"Did your uncle murder you?"
"No." Ji Leyu smiled.
Ji Mu didn't get the answer he wanted, and felt a little lost.
He looked at Ji Leyu with a gentle tone, "Xiaohao and the others went to the playground a few days ago, do you want to go? After a few days, uncle will take you to the playground, okay?"
Ji Leyu shook her head, "I want to do my homework."
"Then we'll go after you finish your homework."
Ji Leyu sighed, and said in distress, "How can I finish it? Why do we have so many homework, adults don't need to do homework."
"Then stop writing." Ji Mu said with a smile, "Uncle will help you and tell the teacher."
"No." Ji Leyu looked down at his water glass, "It's not a good boy not to do homework, I want to be a good boy."
Ji Mu looked at his appearance of worrying about his homework, and felt that he was a child, and the biggest worry was homework.
"Okay then, when do you want to go out to play, when do you call uncle."
Ji Leyu nodded, "Yes."
Ji Mu touched his face and said regretfully, "If only you were my child, then I can take you to play anytime."
He said, "After all, Yu Xiao just wants to take you out now, but he can't play with you."
Ji Leyu looked at him, smiled softly, and didn't speak.
Ji Mu just thought he was embarrassed, let go, and patted his head again, "Then I'm leaving, see you another day."
"En." Ji Leyu replied.
Ji Mu waved to him and walked towards the stairs.
Ji Leyu stood at the door, watching him go down the stairs and slowly walk to the railing of the corridor.
He watched Ji Mu leave the stairs, opened the door and walked out. The smile on his face had long since disappeared, and there was only confusion.
What is he doing here?
What did he say to his uncle?
Ji Leyu went to Jiyuxiao's door as soon as he heard him coming, but this time, they were talking on the balcony, and Ji Leyu didn't hear what they were talking about.
Ji Leyu hugged his water glass, the water in the glass was already warm, and he had been waiting for Ji Mu for a while.
I wish he hadn't said something he shouldn't have said to his uncle, like—Even if you wanted to take him to play, you couldn't play with him.
Otherwise, his uncle will definitely be unhappy. If he is unhappy, those who make him unhappy are destined to be unhappy too.
Ji Leyu touched his water glass, turned and went back to the room.
Ji Yuxiao glanced at the check in his hand, then handed it to Lin Luoqing, "Here it is for you."
Lin Luoqing:? ? ? !
"give me?"
"Isn't it the wedding gift you wanted? If you want it, it's yours."
Lin Luoqing was surprised, "I'm right, but Ji Mu and Ji Huai only gave it for your sake, and the number is too big, I dare not take it."
Ji Yuxiao chuckled, "Is that a big number? It's only 160 million, not worth mentioning."
Lin Luoqing: ...do you rich people treat money like dirt? ! One hundred and sixty! Not worth mentioning! Isn't that number big enough? !
Lin Luoqing once again felt his own poverty!
Seeing his surprised expression, Ji Yuxiao pulled the man over and put the check into his hand, "Take it, what you want is yours, you will have more money in the future, your husband If you have money, it’s not bad for pocket money.”
Lin Luoqing: ... Are you really here to help the poor?
Professional poverty alleviation! Belt and Road! Must let the people around you get rid of poverty and become rich? !
How sublime it is!
Applause for Mr. Ji!
"Then I'll keep it first, and I'll give it to you when you need it." Lin Luoqing thought about it.
Ji Yuxiao didn't think it was necessary, "Anyway, you can keep it, spend it if you want, and save it for later if you don't want to spend it."
After he finished speaking, he still reminded, "But cash the money first, the check will not accrue interest."
Lin Luoqing gestured to him, "Understood~"
He happily collected the check, and when he planned to terminate the contract tomorrow, he cashed the check by the way.
"I made an agreement with Angkor. Tomorrow afternoon, I will go to the previous company to terminate the contract."
Ji Yuxiao nodded, "Go, do you want me to go with you?"
"No need." Lin Luoqing didn't want him to trouble herself, "I'll be back soon."
"Okay. Then you talk to Feifei tomorrow, and we will go home together the day after tomorrow."
"En." Lin Luoqing responded.
Ji Yuxiao hasn't finished her work just now, now that she's finished seeing Ji Mu, she's going to the study again.
Lin Luoqing went to the two babies and asked them if they wanted to build a playground in the yard.
Ji Leyu doesn't have much interest in amusement facilities. In other words, he used to have them, but they don't anymore.
Before the car accident, although he could vaguely feel that he was different from other children, for example, he was not so innocent, nor so naive, and he was not as kind as he appeared to be. He always greeted adults obediently and politely, and showed them A sweet smile, but in his heart, he felt that they were annoying, that they were stupid and childish.
He looked at many people contemptuously in his heart, and when he was patient, he would perfuse them with two or three sentences, and when he was impatient, he just pretended that he didn't hear them.
But at that time, he still looked no different from other children.
He likes to play, likes to make trouble, likes his parents, and also likes Ji Yuxiao, an uncle who loves him very much.
So according to the worldly thinking, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he only shows his best side, acting like a well-behaved, cute, safe and harmless child that the world likes.
However, a car accident took away his parents completely, and made his uncle unable to play with him ever since.
Of course Ji Leyu knew that Ji Yuxiao was injured to protect him, so he was sad, sad, painful and guilty.
He was willing to exchange his legs for Ji Yuxiao's, but he couldn't, so all his attention was on Ji Yuxiao.
Those ferocious beasts lurking in his heart opened their cages because of this accident.
