Return To 1998

a few days later.

evening.

In a hotel near the Longhua community where Xia Yun lives, in a box on the second floor.

Xu Tongdao meets Xia Yun.

Are you looking for me?

Xia Yun, who had just entered the door, put down her handbag, and sat down opposite Xu Tongdao, stroked her hair and asked.

Yes.

Today, Tongdao Xu took the initiative to invite her to meet here.

The food and drinks haven't been served yet.

Tongdao Xu pushed a kraft paper bag in front of her.

what?

Xia Yun did not reach for the kraft paper bag.

Tongdao Xu smiled lightly, I asked someone to buy the house you are living in now, this is the house book of that house.

If you don't want to ask for my money, don't refuse this house, just think it's what I lent you to live in, just don't want your rent. This won't attract others to check your financial situation, right?

Xia Yun looked at him for a few seconds, her eyes fell on the kraft paper bag in front of her, and she smiled slightly, You have to give us something to make you feel comfortable?

Um.

Xu Tongdao did not deny it.

Xia Yun looked at the kraft paper bag in front of her and asked again, Whose name is written in this book? It's not mine, is it?

Tongdao Xu shook his head, I didn't have your ID card, so how can I write your name? However, it's just a house, it doesn't matter whose name is written, you can live forever, if you want to write your name, I'll turn back Let someone transfer it to you.

Xia Yun laughed again.

He reached out and pushed the kraft paper bag in front of him back to Tongdao Xu.

I've accepted your kindness, but you should take it back! We can live in the house, but there's no need to give it to me.

Tongdao Xu frowned, It's just an old house, do you want to refuse me too?

Xia Yun looked at him,

I said, we can live in this house, but I don't want the house. If you don't agree, then I'll go back and find a house with my child.

Xu Tongdao: ...

After staring at her for a few seconds, Xu Tongdao sighed and put the kraft paper bag aside, Okay!

At this time, a waiter just came in to serve the food, so Tongdao Xu and Xia Yun were silent for a while.

When the food was on the table, the waiters exited their boxes.

Tongdao Xu got up and poured wine for Xia Yun, and changed the subject.

By the way, after I left that day, did the kid ask me who I was?

What do you say?

Xia Yun asked back.

Tongdao Xu glanced at her and asked, Then how did you tell him?

Xia Yun sighed softly, What else can I say? You two look so similar, I can only tell him that you are his father's cousin. If he asks you in the future, don't say anything wrong, just press me Tell him that, okay?

His dad's cousin?

Xu Tongdao laughed at himself.

I didn't expect that I would be assigned such an identity.

He was obviously his own son, but he couldn't recognize each other.

He nodded, Got it.

Raised a glass with her, took a sip from each, put down the wine glass, and when the food was served, Tongdao Xu asked again: Then did you tell him, who is the older me and his father? How did you tell him specifically? of?

...

During a meal, Tongdao Xu learned a lot of information about Xia Shenxing from Xia Yun's mouth.

Like this kid's birthday.

Such as what the kid likes to eat, play, and so on.

Just like the character of this kid.

and many more.

Xu Tongdao understands something.

After eating and preparing to leave, Tongdao Xu made a request to Xia Yun.

Do you have pictures of your child in your phone? Can you send me a few?

Xia Yun, who had already got up and was about to leave, was stunned when she heard the words.

She looked at Tongdao Xu unexpectedly, hesitated slightly, she smiled and nodded, Okay, I'll send it to you in a while, if there is nothing else, then I'll go first? Ah Xing is still doing his homework at home. Woolen cloth!

thanks!

Xu Tongdao got up and sent them off.

Looking at the back of her leaving, Tongdao Xu sighed again unconsciously.

...

in the car home.

Xu Tongdao's mobile phone received several photos from Xia Yun.

One is a picture of Xia Shenxing just born and still in an infant; one is a picture of him when he is one or two years old, as a toddler on the grass; one is a picture of him playing on a slide...

A few photos, respectively showing the appearance of Xia Shenxing since he was a child.

Five photos in total.

The last photo is what Xu Tongdao looked like when he saw that kid a few days ago.

Sitting in the car, Tongdao Xu flipped through the photos he had just received on his phone, with mixed feelings in his heart.

If it was before the rebirth, if he had such a son, he would definitely regard it as a treasure, and he would definitely fulfill his responsibility as a father.

But now...

After a long time, he stuffed his phone into his bag and stopped looking at the child's picture.

At this point, he can only try his best to take care of the child in all aspects.

...

late at night.

303, Unit 2, Building 7, Longhua Community, the king bed in the master bedroom.

Xia Yun was leaning against the head of the bed, looking at her son who was sleeping beside her by the bright moonlight shining in from the window, her eyes didn't move for a long time.

Raising children is not easy.

Raising a child this age on your own as a single mother makes it even harder.

Looking at her sleeping son, the scenes of the past few years came to her mind one by one.

When I first learned that I was pregnant, I couldn't believe it, and after the confirmation, I was hesitant, tangled, and hesitant. Do I want to give birth to this child?

Emotions torment her.

After I decided to give birth to this child, the persuasion and prevention from my parents...

And the various ups and downs that this child brought her after the birth, at this time, like a silent movie, it flashed in her mind one after another.

In the end, what appeared in her mind was the scene when Xu Tongdao came to her the last two times.

She had long made up her mind to raise this child by herself, thinking that she would never have any interaction with Xu Tongdao in her life.

However, Tongdao Xu suddenly appeared.

He knew the existence of this child.

He didn't even doubt that the child was his...

Too!

Ah Xing looks so much like him, what doubt can he have?

Mom, why don't I have a father?

Mom, what does my dad do? Why doesn't he come to see me?

Mom, did you divorce your father?

...

The question that her son had asked her once also sounded in her mind at this time.

Then, a question popped into her mind.

- Do I regret giving birth to this child?

Quietly looking at the little face of her son sleeping beside her, a gentle smile spread across Xia Yun's face, she already had the answer in her heart.

Yes!

The years of raising children alone have been hard work.

but……

The child's smile can always relieve the fatigue in her heart. In the days of living with this little guy, in addition to hard work, most of the time, she feels happiness.

The performance of Xu Tongdao's two appearances recently also gave her some comfort.

That guy... seems very guilty!

Deserved!

Who made you break up with me in the first place...

Thinking of this, the corner of Xia Yun's mouth raised a smile again.
