Shuiqiancheng

Chapter 26

The nanny hurriedly called from the back, "Mr. Leng, Ruoshui invited a Chinese man he met in a cafe, and he is now taking him home."

"Ruoshui, do you like it? Is he happy?"

"I like it very much. The two of us chatted very well. Ruoshui kept smiling happily."

"Just be happy."

"But that gentleman has been a little queer."

"What are you afraid of being weird? There are several people in the family. As long as Ruoshui is happy."

The nanny was speechless and had to hang up the phone.Although she also expected that the master would answer in this way, as Ruoshui's personal nanny, she still dutifully informed the master.

I politely asked my assistant about my identity, and made a safety assessment unconsciously, thinking that I would not be harmful.Don't worry about it anymore.

The path through the big trees with curved trunks, push open the solid wood door, simple and clean home, there are many photos of father and son on the wall, and photos of Leng Cuichuan.

I haven't seen this man for ten years, but seeing his photo, his rare face still gives me a strong visual shock.

Ruoshui also inherited a part of him. After a closer look, I feel that Ruoshui looks like me, but when I look closely, Chuzhu looks like him.

I tried my best to pretend to be normal, and dragged Ruoshui in.

The piano teacher saw us go in and said a few words to the nanny.

Ruoshui took my hand and sat in front of the piano: "I'll play the piano for you."

As soon as the slender and nimble little hand was raised, with a gesture, there was an air of noble elegance and grace.

Soothing atmosphere, affectionate and lingering song "Azilina by the Water"

With a focused look and deep affection, you should have passed the tenth level of piano in China, and you can participate in international piano competitions.

One can imagine the hard work behind playing at this level, at least 4 hours a day to practice the piano, and practice all day during the holidays, right?

Nose sore.

After playing, he looked at me expectantly, and I gave him a positive smile; "It's great! Ruoshui worked so hard."

He smiled happily, his eyes were curved, so cute.

The piano teacher started the class, and Ruoshui asked the teacher: "Teacher, I have a Chinese friend as a guest today, can I skip the class first?"

The teacher looked at me and said to Ruoshui; "You are already late today, and you have delayed the end of get out of class."

Ruoshui was a little anxious; "But, it's getting dark, he's leaving after you finish class!"

Looking at me and then at the teacher, I was so anxious that I was about to cry. "Teacher, I will practice the piano for two lessons tomorrow, okay?"

Looking at Ruoshui's sincerity, I blurted out without thinking: "Ruoshui, don't worry, I won't leave at night. I will accompany you."

Ruoshui turned around and took my hand happily: "Really? Really?"

I nodded.

Ruoshui immediately turned around; "Teacher, let's start quickly."

The teacher smiled, yes, the sooner you start, the sooner you end.

Sitting next to me, Ruo Shui is also very happy practicing the piano, and looks at me from time to time.

Soon the two-hour piano lesson was over, but my heart was still like a drum and thunder, and I hardly dared to look up at the photo of Leng Cuichuan on the wall. Those eyes, cold, deep, and mysterious, seemed to go straight to the bottom of my heart.

The Chinese teacher came again, a Chinese student studying abroad, Ruoshui had to write Chinese characters for an hour every day before going to bed.

I asked my Chinese teacher what words to teach today, and I said, "Let me come. You can go back and take a rest in this class."

The Chinese teacher hesitated for a while, but was also a little happy.

Ruoshui also strongly stated that he wanted me to teach him, and the Chinese teacher went back.

Under the light, the two of us leaned together, holding a fourth-grade Chinese textbook, first learning new characters, then reading the text, and then explaining what we don’t understand. If you don’t understand clearly, I will find a picture online. Tell him about it with pictures.

It feels as warm as tutoring triplets homework at home, but in this warmth, there are too many heartbreaks and sourness.

After the two had finished learning Chinese, Susan also arranged for my bodyguards and assistants to live in the guest room. Their duty was to stay with me and never go back to the hotel.

Ruoshui and I went to sleep in his bedroom, and he obediently went to take a bath, changed clothes, climbed into bed, and waited for me.

One of the bodyguards had already returned to the hotel to bring our luggage, and I washed up and changed into pajamas.

Ruoshui was lying on his bed, smiling from the heart, looking at me, happily waiting for me to sleep with him.

I lay beside him, hugging him like triplets, stroking his back, he was holding a small towel in his hand, children like to sleep with things in their arms because they feel insecure.

If the water shrank in my arms, "Can you tell me a story?"

"How is the snail girl?"

"Ah."

. . . . . . . . . .

After the story was finished, he moved and looked up at me: "May I call you Mommy?"

I hugged him tightly, boy, what should I do?

Seeing that I didn't answer, he said, "You will leave tomorrow, so I will only call you once."

Such a well-behaved, sensible, and distressing child.

Tears welled up in my eyes, "Honey, you can call me Mommy. I won't leave tomorrow either."

He put his arms around my neck and called out "Mommy" for the first time in his life in a trembling childish voice.

I kissed his forehead, heartbroken.

I'm sorry baby, I didn't even know you existed.Guilty, distressed.

Ruoshui finally fell asleep.

I kept my eyes open in the dark, feeling more and more puzzled in my heart.

If Shui is my child, there is no need to doubt it. The so-called mother-child connection is the animal instinct of human beings.

But how did he come into this world?why i don't know

Was it Shen Jiu's fault, or Leng Cuichuan?

After much deliberation, I can't think of a clue, but I have made a decision that I will stay with Ruoshui in the near future.

Whatever the purpose, I owe this child something and want to make it up.

As for Shen Jiu and Leng Cuichuan, I don't want to take the initiative to contact anyone, because these two people caused the separation of our father and son!

Even if I don't get in touch, the two of them will know about it soon and come back to me.

However, after this period of time?There are four little ones at home, do you want to leave Ruoshui?

So how much harm will this warm father-son life do to Ruoshui?

Might as well never have met.

I was thinking wildly all night, and I didn't sleep well.

Only fell asleep in the morning.

Ruoshui's small body moved in my arms, and I woke up during the morning stretching exercises, looking at his small face: "I'll take you to school later."

He is happy: "OK."

Get up by yourself, put on your school uniform, wash up, and comb your hair.Go to school with me in a good mood.

"Are you back at noon?"

"Don't come back, come back at night."

"I'll make you a delicious meal tonight, what do you like to eat?"

“I like to eat Chinese food.”

"Okay, I'm the best at cooking Chinese food."

"Then are you coming to pick me up tonight?"

"I'll pick you up from school, and we'll go home for dinner together."

He nodded happily.

We stood on the side of the road waiting for the school bus, and several children from the same community waited together. Ruoshui held my hand proudly.

I greet them with a smile.

Ruoshui introduced them: "This is my mommy."

Although I know that children love to compare each other, I still sweat a little.Because I was on vacation, I abandoned the suits I always wore to work, and casually wore printed baseball uniforms and jeans.

This attire is worn by young Americans, regardless of gender, and many people like to wear it.

With my appearance, it is not easy for people of the same race to distinguish gender in China, and it is even more difficult to distinguish when going abroad.

The little classmates looked at me with envy and admiration, what a beautiful mother.

He goes to class, and I go to the market, buy ingredients, and prepare authentic Chinese food.

The main reason is that the seasoning is authentic and the taste is authentic.

There are many dishes in the supermarket that I don't know, and it took some effort.

Bell peppers, tomatoes, asparagus, eggs, meat,.

The peppers are cut into rings, with an egg inside, fried on both sides in a non-stick pan, and sprinkled with seasonings.

Stir-fried meat with asparagus, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and rice.

Simple, bright in color, rich in nutrition, well absorbed.

By the time we got home, Susan's attitude towards me had changed drastically, and she completely treated me as the master of the family.

Without the polite and guarded eyes from last night, she is a good nanny.

I already guessed that Leng Cuichuan knew I was here, and Susan had also received his instructions.

Leng Cuichuan, who knew that I was with Ruoshui, felt the shock in his heart was beyond my consideration. Now, I just want to stay with Ruoshui for a while.

I packed up the food in the kitchen and went out to fetch water.

Susan cooked a large pot of potatoes, meat, tomatoes, and a stew to entertain my colleagues.

Ruoshui was carrying a small schoolbag, and saw me from the car window, with a happy smile on his face, and waved to me, I smiled and went to pick him up.

The two held hands and walked home, just like many families, the father took the son, but this simple and ordinary thing was the first time for Ruoshui.

what to do?Ruoshui, I can't bear you so much, it's only 24 hours, if yesterday was an instinctive reaction because of the sudden incident, then 24 hours have passed today, I've thought about everything I should have thought about, and I can't bear it even more.

Holding his soft and slender hand, my heart was full of guilt.

"Mommy, we have winter vacation today, and we won't go to school tomorrow."

"Really? We can go and play."

"No, my father wants me to take lessons, piano lessons, Chinese lessons, acting lessons, dance, I have to learn a little bit."

"What about yourself? Do you want to play by yourself?"

He looked up at me, his eyes sparkled with stars, this kid is really, if he enters the showbiz in the future, he will definitely be popular all over the world,

"I want to play, to play with you."

"Okay, let's go play then. How about going camping, Yellowstone?"

"Okay, our boy scouts have learned how to survive in the wild, which is very interesting."

There was another trace of hesitation: "What about Dad?"

"Don't worry about where Dad is, Susan will tell him."

The father and son had a discussion. During dinner, I told Susan: "Tomorrow we will go camping in Yellowstone Park for about a week. You prepare things for Ruo Shui."

Susan glanced at me in surprise, and then agreed, but asked to go with me, I looked at Ruoshui, who was eating well.Leng Cuichuan probably wouldn't let Ruoshui go with me alone, what if he abducted her and didn't come back?

Nodding to agree to her request, Susan immediately turned around to pack Ruoshui's luggage.

It seems that Susan has already received Leng Cuichuan's instructions, and she will follow my instructions.

Although it was a field trip with Ruoshui, a group of people followed, Ruoshui's nanny, bodyguard, my assistant, and bodyguard.

There is no way, since I was kidnapped once ten years ago, the Shen family never dared to let me go out alone.

But it was agreed that it was camping, and Ruoshui himself carried a big schoolbag, which contained food, blankets, and lighter things.

I carry tent and water on my back.

The bodyguards also carried a large bag each.Hike to a camping spot.

There are rivers, forests, and a relatively flat piece of land.

We catch fish, dig pits, gather firewood, light fires, boil water, and cook. If the water is very independent, it is much better than the four little ones at home.

Probably the children around their parents are like that, fighting for favor, flattering, flattering, and crying to attract adults' attention and comfort.

The fiery bonfire reflected Ruoshui's small face, and smiled at each other: "Is it delicious?"

"Delicious, very fresh. Mommy, you are so good, you can catch fish with bare hands."

"When I was young, I practiced in the small river in my hometown."

"What did you do when you were a child? Did you also learn piano?"

"No, when I was a child, I just read, and besides reading, I did farm work. I can do both, reading and working."

He didn't realize what work was, "Is work interesting?"

"Well, the work is very interesting, picking tea, picking mushrooms, transplanting rice seedlings, watering, catching fish, feeding rabbits and kittens.

Steam glutinous rice, dig bamboo shoots, and make wine.I think a person should grow up in the countryside when he was a child, because a child's nature is closer to nature, and a child is almost a small animal. More contact with natural things will better trigger the human nature, humanism, and love in the heart. "

"Sounds good."

I laughed: "So, I will take you out to get in touch with nature. At night, let's watch the stars together."

The two of us huddled together in a sleeping bag, looking at the sky full of stars, so many, so bright, some red, some blue, some yellow, some white, nothing like the sky in China, only a few scattered.

So big, so bright, so many.So happy.That kind of feeling can only be experienced by those who look up and see the stars in the sky.

Moved to tears.

Many years ago, I used to look up at the vast starry sky with a person late at night.

"Your dad and I used to be like this in New Zealand, lying in a tent and looking at the stars."

"It's so romantic." He hugged me tightly, "Mommy, I love you."

"Honey, I love you too." His eyes were moistened, and the tears shed after seeing Ruoshui exceeded the previous ten years.

He is smart and has a high EQ. Since I mention his father, I admit that he is his mother.

His sensibility makes me feel distressed.

Yellowstone Park at night is quiet and cold, with the little person in the sleeping bag to accompany me, only warmth remains.

We hiked in the mountains and forests with a map during the day, set up camp at night, and sometimes met other travelers.

On the night of the fifth day, in the middle of the night, I was woken up by the people around me, my forehead was scalded, and I had a fever.

I take care of four children all the year round, and when I touch it, I know it is a high fever.Anxiously calling him "Ruoshui, Ruoshui."

He just hummed: "Mommy,,,"

Get up in a hurry, where can I find a doctor in the middle of the night in the barren mountains?

I hurriedly looked through the medical bag, found alcohol, poured it on the palm of my hand, rubbed his palms and feet to cool down, and kept calling his name.

Susan heard my voice, hurried over, and looked at me complainingly.

I hurriedly called 120. I didn't realize the seriousness of this matter. I thought it was just a common fever. After this night, I went out and went to the hospital tomorrow. It should be fine.

The four little ruffians in the family are all like this.

In the middle of the night, ask Jia Fei to come pick us up?

Susan reported the medical certificate number of doctor Ruoshui, emphasizing: "Our child is in a special situation, please come to the doctor as soon as possible. We have been receiving treatment in St. Mary's Hospital. Where is our complete medical report, please contact the doctor there , consult our case report."

Looking at me with a puzzled face, Susan twisted a wet towel to wipe Ruoshui's body. "Mr. Leng said that you are Ruoshui's mother.

I have no reason to hide from you.

Ruoshui is a rare androgynous child. "

His heart suddenly seemed to be stabbed by a sharp knife, and then his whole body trembled uncontrollably, his breathing seemed to stop, he couldn't breathe, and he suffocated to death.

"Ruoshui was born prematurely, weighing less than 1500 grams at birth, with underdeveloped organs, and stayed in the hospital's incubator for three months before returning home.

More importantly, regarding why he has a hermaphroditic structure, the doctor said that he should have been a girl, but he developed like this after taking hormonal drugs such as rotor pills that interfere with gender development. "

Susan lowered her head and looked at Ruoshui. She also felt very sorry for the child in her heart. She was right to say that she was Ruoshui's mother.

She must be blaming me and Leng Cuichuan in her heart, although she is not Ruoshui's mother, she gave his mother's love.

"I have taken care of him since he was born, he was weak in development but strong in temperament.

When I was a child, I often went to the hospital. At the beginning, I struggled and made a lot of noise for the injections, but then I obediently asked the nurses to give the injections.

The quiet look makes people feel distressed to death.

Mr. Leng waited for him to go to kindergarten because he hadn't worked for three years and his physical resistance improved before he went to work. "

Trembling, I put clothes on Ruo Shui and hugged her in my arms.My baby, my baby, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Guilt is like a tide, coming towards me and drowning me.

Because Leng Cuichuan has been taking care of Ruoshui in the hospital, and Ruoshui looks like that, ready to die at any time, Shen Jiu was spared to take revenge on Leng Cuichuan, right?

The people outside began to pack their things and added firewood to the bonfire that was about to go out to make it burn more vigorously.

I held Ruoshui, who was hot in my arms, at a loss, and my heart was gradually occupied by fear.

Premature, hypoplasia, hermaphrodite, frequent hospital visits.

I foolishly took him hiking and camping, and he was sensible and independent, unlike the little ruffian at home, who bluffed and asked me to go over and comfort me if there was something big.

He must be tired, but it was his first trip with Mommy, so happy, but his body couldn't take it anymore.

I really am not a competent parent!

The roar of the helicopter came from the air, and it landed on the open space next to it.

I seemed to be stupid, I let Susan hold Ruoshui in the arms of the seaplane, and the assistant dragged me onto the plane, watching the doctor measure Ruoshui's blood pressure and listen to his heartbeat.

The small mouth dried up and said: "Mommy."

I stretched out my hand to hold his hand, tears rolled down, I'm sorry, Ruoshui, I know that I was lonely without the company of my parents when I was a child, but I still let you experience the loneliness when I was a child.sorry.baby.

The helicopter landed us on the roof of the hospital. The medical staff quickly carried Ruoshui down, and I followed foolishly.

Ruoshui was sent to the emergency room, looking at the white glass door, I was so scared, Ruoshui just disappeared.so afraid.

After a long time, I don't know how long, the doctor came out: "The patient has a high fever caused by pneumonia, and the condition is under control now.

However, in view of the patient's previous illness and physical condition, isolation treatment is required. "

Pneumonia, no wonder, Leng Cuichuan will make his home in the warm south, and the cold and humid air will kill Ruoshui.

I took him camping without knowing anything!In winter vacation!

Ruoshui sleeps on the hospital bed, so small and thin.

I sat by the side blankly, watching the liquid medicine drip down drop by drop, and flow into the slender blood vessels.

From childhood to adulthood, how many times have you been hospitalized, how many injections have you had, and how many medicines have you taken?

But I don't even know, not even your existence!

If it wasn't for God's pity on our father and son, we still don't know when we will meet each other.

Baby, I swear, I never want you out of my sight again, from this moment on!

Early the next morning, Ruoshui woke up, "Mum, I'm in the hospital again, I don't like hospitals the most."

"Mummy promises you, we won't come to the hospital anymore." I will take care of you well, don't get sick, stay healthy, don't get injections again, and don't suffer from this pain.

A week later, we packed up and left the hospital, it was almost Christmas and soon New Years.

What children like most is the festival, they can receive gifts.

Ruoshui understands very well and never asks me, when are you leaving?are you going home

However, when I was worried or called the children at home, he would lean against me quietly and not speak.

He is so content with the status quo, does not fight, and relies on it for a while, he knows that Mommy has other families and other babies.

His warmth at this moment is also stolen from others.

I can't let go of him even more.

The car stopped at the door, and I saw Shen Jiu's bodyguards.

The one who should come will always come back, can you finally lose your temper?

Get out of the car, hold Ruoshui's hand, the bodyguard bows; "Mr. Shui, Mr. Shen is waiting for you."

Ruoshui looked at him, wearing a black suit and black sunglasses. Hearing what he said, he tightened my hand in fear. I knew he was afraid that if I left, he wouldn't come back.

"Ruoshui, go home first, I'll be back in a while."

He doesn't move.

"I promise, I will definitely come back."

Looking into his big eyes, there is deep worry and sadness inside.

Kiss him on the forehead.

He went into the room, lay on the glass, looked at me, and watched me leave.

After getting into Shen Jiu's car, he sat inside, smiled when he saw me, and pointed in Ruoshui's direction with his chin: "A little you, little Qingcheng."

We are all sensible people, so we don't need to say too much, and leave the polite words to others.

As the car drove away from Leng Cuichuan's door, Shen Jiu put his arms around my waist habitually: "I just came here for a meeting, so I stopped by to see you."

He bowed his head and kissed on the neck, along the earlobe, all the way to the corner of the mouth.

I said, "You owe me an explanation."
