father - home

Nothing happened.

We arrived quite early, there were not many people in the bar, and most of the tables were empty. In the center of the room, near the small stage, the big table for eight people was also empty, so Zhao led me to sit there.

"We were ten people that time, and we sat at this table. Oh, by the way, there were a lot of guests that day, and the table was specially reserved for Christine by the boss."

Zhaocai and I occupied the only big table in the bar. "Look? That waiter is watching us." I waved to the waiter to come and order.Normally, he would ask us to change places, but nothing happened.

Zhao ordered two "Sidecar" cocktails. "It was at this table on Christine's birthday. It was the first time I drank this kind of wine. It was recommended by Christine, and it was really good." Zhao's voice was not low, deliberately letting the waiter who was about to leave listen to, but nothing happened.

After a while, the waiter brought over the drinks, we were still talking about the birthday, mentioned Christine, the waiter left, nothing happened.

I became anxious, and I couldn't look around, so I had to wait patiently.One cup, two cups, three cups, this is me, Zhao consciously controls drinking.The number of customers gradually increased, and a group of customers were dissatisfied with the two of us occupying a large table, so they negotiated with the waiter.The wait staff was helpless and came over to discuss with us, other than that, nothing happened.

We changed tables and were still in the first row in front of the stage.Someone began to sing on the stage. It was a beautiful blonde woman with a black dress with a low neckline, revealing large white breasts and deep cleavage.The girl sang the Hungarian song "Black Sunday".

"She sang that song that day too."

"Are you sure?"

"affim."

The girl is no longer young, but the mature and lazy voice expresses the melancholy atmosphere of "Black Sunday" just right, which is really impressive.

In the name of Zhao, I asked the waiter to bring the girl a bottle of good sherry, which is the best wine in the bar now.

The girl sang six songs and stepped down to rest amid applause.Nothing happened.

Half an hour later, the girl returned to the stage and gave a special song to a special friend who was present today - "When Will You Come Again".

This was too much of a surprise for us.The girl sang very deeply in Chinese, but I believe that no one present, including Zhao, could really understand what she sang, but what does it matter?The charming voice and beautiful tunes touched everyone.Zhao's eyes were moist, the guests were fascinated, and I was shaking with excitement.

The girl invited Zhao to come on stage to accompany her.Zhao readily agreed.My heart is almost in my throat.

One, two, three, popular songs, classic old songs, dance music, applause, applause, chorus, beat, applause again, applause again, the bar is boiling.

Zhao returned to his seat, his face flushed, his hand holding the napkin to wipe his sweat trembled slightly because of nervousness, excitement and anticipation.

However, nothing happened.

That night, at the Moonset Bar, we were pleasantly surprised and disappointed at the same time, because nothing happened after all.

After returning from the hospital, Yu was exhausted, so Zhao sent her to the bedroom to rest.

I waited in the living room, and it was worse than I expected.

Yu's pregnancy reaction was quite serious. She vomited as soon as she ate, even as soon as she saw food or thought of it, a sip of water would cause her to vomit violently until she vomited bile. haggard.

Werner says such severe pregnancy reactions are rare, but not impossible.Pregnancy reactions generally occur after six weeks of pregnancy and slow down after twelve weeks, but Yu's pregnancy is only four weeks, so early occurrence may mean late slowdown, and may even last throughout the pregnancy.

After examining Yu, Professor Lütjens said that although Yu's pregnancy reaction was serious, it was just the beginning. As long as she paid attention to rest, took good care of her, observed her closely, and treated her in time, there would be no major problems.Yu's body is very healthy, except for moderate anemia, which is normal for a girl in her early twenties.The professor asked Werner to prescribe some sedative and antiemetic drugs to Yu, as well as vitamins, folic acid and iron, and urged Werner to closely observe the clinical situation.

We didn't ask Professor Yu if he could still do the long sea trip, because it was obvious that asking would only lead to a curse.But what to do, I can't decide.

Werner asked me to leave Zhao with his hospital and residence phone numbers, "You ask them to call me whenever there is a situation, and they are on call at any time."

"It's very kind of you, Werner."

"Where, old classmate. I know you have an unusual relationship."

"how?"

"I still don't know you? When have you been so enthusiastic about people?"

Glancing at Werner's knowing expression, I could only smile.

"Hey, don't tell me you have a crush on your friend's wife. But she is so beautiful, a mysterious oriental beauty."

Yu's aunt made me a cup of green tea.Perhaps because she was upset, she forgot to ask me if I wanted coffee or tea, but the traditional Chinese way of hospitality was not forgotten.

I seldom drink green tea, and I am not used to the astringent taste, but now I don’t care what I drink, I just drink tea to cover up my uneasy mood and wait for it.Yu's aunt has already refilled my tea twice, but Zhao hasn't come out yet.But this is also reasonable. As a husband, he can't be too considerate and gentle to his pregnant wife.

Zhao finally came out, gently closed the door behind him, and waved his hand.I understand that he wants me to talk on the balcony.

This residential area is very quiet. There are thick sycamore trees planted on both sides of the road. The large leaves hanging on the branches are shining golden in the autumn sun at noon. When the autumn wind blows, a few leaves fly off the branches and flutter onto the road. On the sidewalk, on the balcony facing the street.

A leaf falls on the cast iron railing of the balcony. The leaf is wide and the railing is narrow. In the breeze, the golden sycamore leaf is like a tightrope juggler swinging and dancing on the railing, reflecting the sun's rays.

Zhao picked up the leaf and stared at it.I lit a cigarette and handed it to him.He raised his hand to take it, but forgot to draw it, still staring at the leaf.

"What are you going to do?" I always have to ask, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult for him to decide, no matter which one is a painful choice. "I can refund the boat ticket...Maybe in two or three months, Yu's situation will improve, and then..." This is a bad idea, it is simply inexplicable, but I dare to say this, and the real intention But dare not say: Since fate is arranged in this way, since God agrees, then stay!As long as you stay, as long as I can see you, as long as you are safe, I don't care if you stay with Yu, I don't care to watch the child be born.I dare not say it, for fear of his opposition, contempt, and disappointment.

The cigarette in my hand is about to go out.Zhao took a few puffs, and it ignited again. "The United States will always be involved in the war, and it will be even more difficult to go back then, and Yu's situation is not suitable for long-distance travel. I think about it, Marty," Zhao turned his head and looked at me.His face was pale, the corners of his mouth twitched faintly, but his eyes were very firm and piercing. "I know this is too much to ask, I know I'm sorry for you, but I have no other choice, I can't stay like this anymore, I have to go, go now. Marty, I can only count on you, take care of Jade, protect us Our child was born safely, our child, our child."

I couldn't face him for a long time, and closed my eyes in pain.In order not to let myself fall, I held on to the railing of the balcony tightly with both hands.Zhao took my hand, leaned over, and whispered softly in my ear with that magnetic and charming voice: "Promise me, Marty, promise me. For me, live a good life and take care of my wife, I children, our children, our children."

I promise!I promise!I have already agreed in my heart.No matter what request, as long as you ask, I will agree.It's just that I can't adapt yet, I can't speak, give me some time, just a little time.I'll do everything you want me to do, everything.
