you are in the depths of time [gl]

Soon it was time for lunch.

Taking into account the tastes of the two children, Cheng Youyou made lunches that were easy to digest, and had both Chinese and Western food.

Carrot and spinach pancakes are used as snacks. The staple food for children is soft and milky pasta. There is some confusion in the collocation, but they are all appetizing and digestible meals.

Cheng Xi and Xie Qiong sat down on the chairs by the dining table by themselves, and the two children whose feelings were warmed up in an instant not only ate by themselves obediently, but also watched each other eat with them.

Cheng Xi pokes and rolls the noodles in the bowl several times with a small plastic fork, puts them in his mouth and eats them in large chunks, and waits for Cheng Youyou to put the dishes on the table in the small dish for her before holding them. The fork protrudes in the direction of the small plate.

The smell of the fragrant chicken makes it hard to stop eating, especially the tender chicken thigh. Cheng Xi, who usually ate it all, changed his temper today. After he took two bites, he still didn't forget to turn his head. Go see my friends.

Xie Qiong also looked back every time she looked up, and then the two of them would smile at each other.

Cheng Youyou didn't know what happened in the living room just now, seeing that Cheng Xi was eating extraordinarily well-behaved today, she was relieved a lot, then she lowered her head and found that there was already a shallow layer of vegetables in her bowl.

It turned out that Luo Zijin was used to taking care of the children during meals, so she also developed the habit of holding a chopstick for Cheng Youyou and eating for herself. I didn't expect the child to be very good today, and Cheng Youyou had a leisurely time. So the "great achievements" in the bowl are particularly conspicuous.

She couldn't help but exchanged glances with Luo Zijin, then lowered her head and ate everything in the bowl.

Cheng Xi looked at his favorite spring pancake spread out with carrots and vegetables mixed with egg liquid, poked a small piece with a fork, and put it in front of his little friend:

"good to eat."

Xie Qiong looked at the fork handed to her, and there was a small piece of cake on it. She tilted her head, ate the piece of cake, and made a voice of approval:

"Ok!"

Cheng Youyou hooked the corners of her lips, and was amused by the two children's behavior of giving face.

……

After dinner.

After the shared lunch session, the relationship between the two children further warmed up. Not only did they play together all afternoon, but they were a little bit reluctant when they parted.

Xie Tiao teased her little brat:

"Do you want to continue playing with Xiao Xi?"

Xie Qiong looked at her and Ying, then at Cheng Xi who was opposite, thought for a while and said:

"Let her play."

Cheng Xi hugged Cheng Youyou's leg, blinked his big black eyes, and said coquettishly to Mommy:

"Cat, cat, don't go away."

Luo Zijin stood beside Cheng Youyou, looked down at the baby, raised his eyebrows and teased, "Then can you walk with Maomao?"

Cheng Xi grabbed Cheng Youyou's fingers, trying to pull her to the door, and whispered:

"Mommy together."

Luo Zijin: "..."

Okay, I want to find a friend to play with, and I want to abduct her wife together, is there such a beautiful thing?

Luo Zijin: "Your mommy won't be with you, go by yourself."

When Cheng Xi heard her words, he showed a weeping expression, as if he didn't understand why Mommy couldn't go with him to find a little friend to play with.

Seeing that she was about to cry, Xie Qiong went to her side, held her face and kissed her, and softly comforted her:

"Don't cry, I'll come again next time."

After she finished speaking, she looked back at Ying eagerly, hoping to get an affirmative answer from her.

Ying snapped her fingers, which was considered to have agreed to her request.

Cheng Xi heard what his little friend said, and quickly answered:

"tomorrow!"

Cheng Youyou touched her head, leaned over and said, "OK, tomorrow."

Anyway, she and Luo Zijin had to return to the capital. Before that, Ying and Xie Yi went to Europe and the United States to play. Recently, the child has reached the age of school. It is estimated that he will finish elementary school and junior high school in China, and then send him out for further studies after high school.

In any case, the chances of the two children growing up together in the future are quite high.

It happens to be able to take care of each other at school.

Hearing her answer, Cheng Xi put away his crying expression, reluctantly watched Xie Yi and Ying take Xie Qiong away, and then ran to the hall to look at the hanging clock.

As if thinking about how to take it off, I turned the pointer around quickly, so that I could quickly turn to tomorrow and see my little friend.

Cheng Youyou coaxed her for a long time before teasing her to forget about it.

And then the next morning—

six o'clock.

She was woken up by her own small human-shaped alarm clock.

Cheng Xi hugged her face and kissed her, and coquettishly shouted: "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!"

Cheng Youyou struggled from her deep sleep in an instant after being yelled at repeatedly, hugged her sleepily and kissed her, and replied in a sleepy voice: "...Huh?"

"Look for cats!"

Cheng Youyou didn't react for a while, she closed her eyes and replied, "Maomao is at grandparents' house, I'll show you next time."

Cheng Xi suddenly became anxious: "Yesterday, cat!"

Luo Zijin also woke up between their questions and answers, and smiled: "She was talking about Xie Qiong."

Cheng Youyou patted slowly, remembered what happened, and patted her daughter's back: "I'm only flying in the afternoon, so let Mommy sleep a little longer."

The kid could only kiss her on the face after hearing this, and then sat quietly beside her, waiting for the arrival of the afternoon with a slightly melancholy expression.

How did time pass so slowly?

……

the other side.

In a courtyard house on a certain street in Beijing.

Xie Qiong moved a small bench and sat at the gate of the yard, watching the figures of people coming and going in the alley outside the yard. When Ying came to ask her to have breakfast, she looked up at her and asked in English:

"Mom, is she coming today?"

Ying half squatted in front of her and smiled at her. When she was bathed in the sun, her forward-colored hair shone brightly. She responded:

"Of course, but you have to have breakfast first, and you can take her to play with her when she comes."

Xie Qiong thought for a while, got up from the small bench, and obediently followed her to eat at the stone table in the yard.

Seven forty in the evening.

Child Cheng Xi, who pestered Cheng Youyou to finish dinner at the nearest airport, insisted on looking for his cat. Cheng Youyou could only call his master and ask her if it would be inconvenient for her to go there at night.

As a result, Xie Tiao lazily smiled and said:

"Hurry up, Yingdu was questioned thirty times a day by that brat, and I can hardly make up an excuse."

Cheng Youyou hung up the phone, and looked at Luo Zijin, the two saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

Luo Zijin also muttered something, but Cheng Youyou didn't hear clearly for a while, so she turned around and asked:

"what?"

Luo Zijin: "...It's nothing, let's go, the driver is waiting at the gate of the airport."

……

Two years later.

In front of a kindergarten.

Cheng Xi counted the dinner dishes his mommy was cooking, and said to Xie Qiong articulately:

"Mum said that tonight we will eat stewed duck with spring bamboo shoots, braised pork, and pork belly soup."

Xie Qiong nodded beside her, showing a bright smile, her blue eyes shining brightly: "Okay."

Her two biological mothers spend half of the year abroad. Seeing that she and Cheng Xi have a good relationship, they threw her at Cheng Youyou's house and went out happily, so recently she just followed her. Cheng Xi went home.

At that moment, the boy standing behind Cheng Xi pulled her schoolbag:

"Cheng Xi, my dad cooks delicious food too! Do you want to come to my house?"

Xie Qiong immediately took Cheng Xi's hand, and replied in a crisp voice for her: "Thank you, no need."

Cheng Xi moved his schoolbag, turned around to look at the boy, blinked his eyes once, then turned his head and continued talking to Xie Qiong.

The little boy still did not give up and said:

"Then you can come together."

Xie Qiong still gave the same polite answer, her attitude was very indifferent, somewhat of Xie Tiao's usual unreasonable manner, she looked a bit cold.

Only when facing Cheng Xi, she had Ying's enthusiastic look again, switching her attitude quite freely.

"Cheng Xi..." The little boy eagerly pulled Cheng Xi's schoolbag again.

Cheng Xiaoxi, who was taught by her mother to be friendly to her classmates, felt a little embarrassed, she turned around and said, "Don't keep pulling on my schoolbag, okay?"

"Then why didn't you talk to me?" the male classmate asked reluctantly.

Cheng Xi thought for a while and replied seriously, "Because I don't want to talk to you."

The next second, the little boy cried 'Wow'.

Xie Qiong didn't think it was enough, so she changed places with Cheng Xi, and when the foreign teachers surrounded her, she calmly replied:

"I don't know what happened."

So, when Cheng Youyou came to pick her up, she heard the teacher repeat the incident to her, and she couldn't laugh or cry.

Just when she was about to say a few words to the child, the mobile phone in her pocket rang:

"Hello? Didn't you remember correctly, didn't I come to pick you up today?...OK, where did you park the car?"

Luo Zijin saw her approaching from a distance, holding two children by her hands.

After getting into the car, Cheng Youyou fastened the seat belts for the two little ones in the back row, and then said to Luo Zijin with a smile:

"The teacher said that the two of them made a classmate cry today."

Cheng Xi replied confidently: "Mommy, I don't have one!"

Xie Qiong blinked innocently: "Auntie, it has nothing to do with us, it was he who cried suddenly."

Luo Zijin held the steering wheel, watched a long line of convoys coming out of the red light ahead, and after slowing down, tapped the steering wheel with his index finger:

"Well... I think this scene is a bit familiar."

It's very similar to the way she and Cheng Youyou used to cover each other after doing bad things in class.

Cheng Youyou touched the heads of the two of them, smiled, and stopped talking.

After getting out of the car and returning home, he went into the kitchen and unplugged the rice cooker, turned around and saw Luo Zijin standing next to the door, looking at him.

"What's the matter? What are they doing?"

Cheng Youyou looked at her amusedly.

"Let's watch animation together." Luo Zijin glanced out, took the plate in her hand, turned and walked out.

Cheng Youyou turned around to wash the dishes, with a crooked smile in her eyes:

"The relationship between the two of them is quite good. It's not bad to play together since childhood."

Luo Zijin looked at her, and sighed for a while:

"I never saw you when you were a child..."

Cheng Youyou stared at her in astonishment, she didn't expect that she would even mind this, and after a long time, she leaned against the stove and laughed, teasing her:

"Then what should I do? I can only cast a better baby in the next life, and see you sooner?"

Luo Zijin: "Hmph."

Cheng Youyou looked at the two children who were talking and laughing in front of the TV, and then at Luo Zijin, who was proficient in arranging the dishes for her, walked up a few steps and embraced her from behind, and asked with a smile:

"Is it okay, Master Luo?"

Luo Zijin reluctantly responded, "Since you have asked for it, then I will try my best."

She said it as if she could do it.

Cheng Youyou's shoulders shaking while laughing on her body.

She looked at the two children on the other side, leaning on Luo Zijin's back, and said after a long time: "Actually, this is very good, isn't it?"

Luo Zijin responded slowly:

"Ah."

We met when we were young, even if we embarked on a different road in the middle, we will return together in the end.

This was preordained a long time ago. The person she has cherished for many years is her greatest wish in this life. From the moment she holds hands again, she will never let go.

In this life, there are already no regrets.
