Canary runs with the ball

Li Ruijing imagined the scene of reuniting with his mother many times.

The last time he went to find his mother, he passed Wang Meilan, but she didn't recognize him.

This time, it was Wang Meilan who took the initiative to look for him.He looked at the woman's face with the traces of time, and felt that it was very strange.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Wang Meilan seemed a little cautious. She embraced the little daughter beside her, and wanted to take a closer look at Li Ruijing, but she lowered her head uncomfortably.

The two looked at each other speechlessly for a moment, and she finally came to her senses, patted the child on the shoulder, and said, "Call someone."

The girl was thin and thin, and her tone was also timid, and she called out "brother" weakly.

Li Ruijing was a little moved, but he didn't speak.

Wang Meilan said again, "Speak louder."

The little girl curled her lips, almost crying, and called out again in a childish voice, "Brother Ruijing."

This time Li Ruijing agreed, he asked the woman, "How old is she?"

The girl wrinkled her nose, looked at him cautiously, and replied, "Brother, I'm going to be four soon."

Wang Meilan immediately received, "Her birthday is in the same month as yours." There was a bit of flattery in her voice.

"Really?" Li Ruijing said coldly, "...I thought you forgot."

Wang Meilan was a little ashamed. She really didn't remember the birthday of the eldest son in front of her. If she hadn't tried the password of the 50 bank card given by Chen Yi the year before last, she would have almost deleted all the information about Li Ruijing from her mind.

When she ran away from Li Xinrong more than ten years ago, she had the determination to do everything she could.She was fed up with borrowing money and living without dignity, and wanted to go to a new city and start over with a new identity, so she made a decision that made herself feel strange and scared every time she thought about it, and she left Li Ruijing behind. .

Li Ruijing was 12 years old that year. He was sensible enough to take good care of himself and Li Xinrong's daily life.Wang Meilan thought that even if she left, the living expenses left behind would not starve Li Ruijing to death.As for Li Xinrong, if he got that kind of money-burning disease, it would be his fate if he couldn't survive.

Wang Meilan threw down the oil bottle, and soon found a new home by herself.She broke up with her elopement lover, but married her current husband the following year.In the story she told, except that the identity of the second marriage was true, all other experiences were made up to prevaricate that honest man.

After so many years, she made up stories so that she believed them, and completely forgot that there was a medicine pot husband and a helpless eldest son waiting for her.

It wasn't until Chen Yidai suddenly appeared that she realized that the current peaceful life was just a fragile dream.If Li Ruijing insisted on coming to confess her relatives, then the lie she had carefully constructed would be vulnerable, and the family she had managed to form would be broken.

So when Chen Yi wanted to buy out her relationship with Li Ruijing with money, she accepted it without hesitation.

She is indeed a cruel person, but she is not completely indifferent to her husband and children.Since then, she began to pay attention to Li Ruijing's news subconsciously. Seeing that he had appeared in new TV series and movies, accepted many commercial endorsements, and became more and more famous, she felt indescribably excited and joyful.

She finally raised her eyes and looked at her son carefully. Li Ruijing had changed a lot in these years, and it was difficult to overlap with the short and fragile boy in her memory.His stature has grown a lot, and his shoulders have broadened, but his body is still thin.On his face, he no longer saw the submissiveness and cautiousness of the past, and his self-confidence became much more publicized.

It turned out that during her absence, Li Ruijing had grown up well... This recognition made Wang Meilan feel less guilty.She tried to reach out to touch her son's shoulder, but Li Ruijing took a step back and avoided it.

Still stretching out her hand, Wang Meilan said with some disappointment, "You've grown up, you're almost 24."

"Yeah." Li Ruijing will be 24 years old at the end of the year, and the years she has left are as long as the days she has been with her.He said, "Since you decided not to contact me again, why did you come back to me?"

The woman slowly withdrew her hand, frowned, and said after a long time of consideration, "...Mom just wanted to apologize to you in person."

Li Ruijing said coldly, "You've already received the money, so don't call yourself like that again." He was clearly feeling terribly uncomfortable, but he felt the pleasure of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred.

Wang Meilan was obviously hurt by his words, she was at a loss for a while, and then said, "Mom knows that you blame me, but I had no choice but that Chen Yi kept finding people to harass us! Ruijing, Mom already knew it was wrong Yes, I can return the money..."

Li Ruijing closed his eyes tiredly. He didn't even realize that he raised his hand to cover his stomach again, "Did I really realize my mistake... Or did I realize that what I can give you now is far more than 50?"

Wang Meilan finally stretched out her hand to pull him, complaining sharply, "How can you miss your mother? What did Chen Yi tell you? It's all a misunderstanding, I can explain..."

At the behest of her mother, the little girl rushed over and hugged his leg, as if she wanted to forcefully confess her kiss today.

Li Ruijing didn't have time to pay attention to these things, he just asked, "If I have nothing now, would you still come to me?"

When he was nothing, Wang Meilan was afraid that she would come to recognize her relatives.Now that he was successful and could provide his mother with a good life, she came here without any scruples.

Li Ruijing put forward such a hypothesis, it depends on an attitude, an attitude used to explore whether Wang Meilan is sincere.

Hearing this, the woman immediately said, "Of course, Mom just wants to make it up to you."

She said these words so quickly that she didn't think about them, and subconsciously avoided making eye contact with her son, as if she had memorized a script long ago, and finally found the right time to say it.

Li Ruijing is an actor, and his body language and micro-expressions of lying to women are very clear, and the last hope in his heart is slowly shattered.

He broke away the little girl's little hand holding him, and said, "It's not just me you have to make up for, but also Dad."

Hearing this, Wang Meilan's expression changed.

"But Dad has already left. He feels that he has dragged you down. Even if you filed for divorce at that time, he would not blame you." Li Ruijing said, "As for me... I will not forgive you."

He didn't want to say miserable things like "Do you know how I survived these years", and saying it would be powerless to change the past.

Wang Meilan doesn't love him. All the hardships and grievances he has experienced in these years are just a few light words in her ears, and she can forget them all when she turns around.

"There is no relationship between us. You don't need to pay back the money. Just treat it as my repayment for your kindness in nurturing."

After he finished speaking, he went straight out of the room without waiting for the response from the big and small people in the room.

When I walked to the elevator, I could still hear Wang Meilan shouting "Ruijing!" and "Li Ruijing! You can't do this to me!"

The elevator doors closed, blocking the harsh curses she blurted out next.

Li Ruijing raised his head, holding back the sourness in his eyes.

**

Chen Yi was ordered by Li Ruijing to wait for him in the car, not to accompany him, and not to monitor his meeting with his mother by any means.

Chen Yi waited for more than ten minutes and then started scratching his head. He didn't dare to call Li Ruijing, and he didn't dare to send a message. Seeing that the person had gone in for almost half an hour and there was no movement, he was so anxious that he couldn't sit still.

He pressed down on the car window and glanced in the direction of the hotel lobby from time to time to make sure that no one had come down.In the end, I was too lazy to open and close the windows repeatedly, so I simply turned off the fire and waited outside the car.

At the end of October, City A has successfully entered winter, but Chen also has the habit of exercising, and his physique is quite good. He didn't feel too cold when the weather was around ten degrees.On the contrary, he was very worried about Li Ruijing's body, wishing he could wrap him up like a bear for the winter.

After another ten minutes, Li Ruijing came out of the elevator.

As soon as they met, he noticed that Li Ruijing's eyes were red. It seemed that the result of the negotiation was not very good.

Chen Yi scolded his mother in his heart, and went to hold his little boyfriend's hand. Li Ruijing obediently followed him back to the car, still not planning to speak.

If he didn't say anything, Chen Yi didn't ask.

He carried an insulated bag from the back seat, and presented it to Li Ruijing like a treasure, trying to arouse the atmosphere.

"I forgot to bring it to you just now, it's still hot, eat it while it's hot."

Li Ruijing opened the bag, and inside were two bags of fried chestnuts and frosted hawthorn. They should have been bought just out of the oven, and there was a string of water droplets condensed by the hot air on the mouth of the bag.

When he watched the short video two days ago, he saw the frosted hawthorn, and he casually said that he was greedy, so Chen Yi bought it for him.

Li Ruijing was in a depressed mood and couldn't quite eat it, but being thought of by others all the time, he felt a wave of warmth pouring into his body.

He put the things on his lap, and suddenly twisted his body to hug Chen Yi.

"...you treat me well."

Chen Yi hugged him back and rubbed his hair vigorously, "Yes, because I like you."

This time Li Ruijing didn't respond for a long time.

It was so long that Chen Yi thought that he was falling asleep from exhaustion, and then he dully realized that there was a burst of wetness in his chest.

The car was quiet, only the thin body in his arms trembled slightly occasionally.

Li Ruijing was crying.

Chen Yi suddenly became at a loss. He hurriedly pulled the paper, but he didn't dare to interrupt rashly, so he hugged Li Ruijing even tighter.

After a long time passed, Li Ruijing choked up and asked, "Chen Yi, you will always treat me well...do you always like me?"

Chen Yi was so nervous that his mind went blank, and he answered after a while, "I will."

Li Ruijing withdrew from his arms, tears still flowing, he wiped them indiscriminately, his tone was fierce, but he couldn't hide his grievance, "You lied to me, how can you guarantee it?"

Even parents can't give their children unrequited love, Wang Meilan doesn't love him, and is still plotting against him, so why does Chen Yi promise to love him forever?

Seeing him like this, Chen Yi's heart was twisted into a ball, and the man thought for a long time before saying, "I know I have a criminal record, which makes you feel very insecure, and I can't guarantee that the promise I made will never go bad." ...But I swear, everything I said right now is sincere. Ruijing, let me take care of you, okay? I won't let others bully you again in the future. "

Li Ruijing slowly stopped his tears. He looked directly at the man and said, "Now you like me, so you can make promises to me without any scruples... You have everything since you were born, so you don't know, losing is What a terrible thing."

"But Chen Yi, I will be afraid."

"I'm afraid that one day you will change your mind and don't want me anymore... You can easily get out and find the next person, but what should I do? I only have you, and no one has ever treated me so well..."

This was the first time that Li Ruijing had removed all the strong pretense in front of him, revealing his inner inferiority and fragility.

His voice was soft and weak, like a small boat bumping around in a storm, so thin that it could be blown away by the wind at any time.

Chen Yi choked for breath, he hugged him again, and comforted him over and over again, "...I won't."

"I'll tell you all my secrets." He kissed away the remaining tears on Li Ruijing's face with great care, and said in a deep voice, "Just hold on to these handles and hold me for the rest of your life, okay?"
