It goes without saying

For lunch, Zhou Yanyu prepared a small bowl of white rice, a cup of steamed eggs, a small plate of green vegetables and a stewed chicken leg in braised sauce. The child stared at the neatly arranged meals on the plate and was stunned. After a long while, he was still wearing pajamas and pajamas at that time, hugging the little puppet, and was led to the dining table by Shen Xi.

"Are you hungry? It's time for lunch. I roughly asked about your usual food intake. These shouldn't be too much." Shen Xi patted the child on the back and said.

After being stunned for a moment, the child suddenly looked left and right, put his little puppet back on the sofa, then returned to the dining table, climbed up on the chair and sat down.

Seeing this, Shen Xi and Zhou Yanyu looked at each other, each reading a hint of appreciation from the other's eyes.

Sitting on an ordinary chair is a bit strenuous for a child, not to mention the dangling legs, and the little head is barely above the table, so Zhou Yanyu went to the sofa to get a cushion, and Shen Xi hugged the child when he saw it. When he got up, Zhou Yanyu put the cushion under his buttocks, which was finally a little higher.

Although the child is silent, he is really sensible, eats well, uses a stainless steel spoon, but rarely makes a sound, as if someone has specially trained him.

But how could such a young child be specially trained for this? I think this is probably caused by the previous adoption experience. What kind of child dare not make a sound while eating?

Shen Xi and Zhou Yanyu saw it in their eyes and didn't say anything. There is nothing wrong with eating rules, but there is no need to be restrained and cautious. However, this is not something that can make him relax by talking about it. He ate slowly, don't worry, the child was still eating scoop after scoop, Shen Xi couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yanyu, and felt that this kid was eating exactly like Zhou Yanyu went to work - of course, Zhou Yanyu didn't just go to work. Meticulous, but at least it's quite relaxed while eating.But what was Zhou Yanyu's meal like when he was a child?Shen Xi rested his chin and thought about it for a while, remembering that the little Zhou Yanyu had a cautious face when he first came to Shen's house to eat, and he ate very little. Later, he was found to be very hungry, and he refused to say at first, it was Shen Xi. Pretending that he was also hungry to find Aunt Xue, it took about half a month before Zhou Yanyu got used to it.

"Eat slowly, don't worry." Zhou Yanyu also said something to the child in his eyes. Although he had softened his tone, the seriousness without anger and prestige was always there, and the child immediately raised his head, as if a little She looked terrified, her eyes were wide open, her mouth was closed and she dared not chew.

Fortunately, Shen Xi was sitting next to him, Shen Xi touched the child's head and said: "Eat slowly, no one is urging you, this is your home, you can do whatever you want." Glancing at Zhou Yanyu, he smiled and said to the child, "Your little dad seldom smiles, and it's the same when talking to me. In the future, remember to tease him more. I will reward him for making him laugh."

The child was scratching his head, wondering if he had listened.

It's a pity that not long after eating, the child started to vomit and vomited out everything he ate.

Dr. Zhao arrived in a hurry and showed the child. The child was sick from vomiting just now, and he was not angry when he was sitting on the sofa.

Dr. Zhao's main job is Chinese medicine, and his side job is a psychologist. Zhou Yanyu, who was six years old, just arrived, and Dr. Zhao was still a young intern. Now he has quite a lot of experience in both his main job and his side job.He checked the bruises on the child first, and then asked the child if he could come down and take a few steps. The child was obedient, and climbed off the sofa and walked in front of him. Dr. Zhao knelt down and squeezed his hands and legs , and finally took the child's pulse, and then Dr. Zhao lured the child to speak, but the child pursed his mouth and did not make a sound.

"Let's observe it for a while. I'll come back in a few days and give him less frequent meals. His stomach is not very good, but the vomiting is not only caused by gastrointestinal problems, but also because of great anxiety and tension." Zhao The doctor said to Shen Xi and Zhou Yanyu, then looked at the child kindly and said, "Little guy, I'll come to see you again in a few days, I hope you can call me Uncle Doctor, okay?"

The child looked down at his toes, but did not answer.

Dr. Zhao didn't take it seriously, but smiled and prepared to leave.

Zhou Yanyu sent Dr. Zhao downstairs, and Shen Xi turned on the computer for the child and played cartoons for him.

"I want to see which one I order."

Shen Xi arranged a series of cartoons on the screen, and said: "I can only watch for 10 minutes, choose the one you want to watch the most."

The child was obviously curious, and his eyes were glued to the screen all at once, but because there were too many choices, he looked at it for a long time and still didn't respond.

"Then I'll choose for you, this is it." Shen Xi clicked on the doraemon, and the child, holding the little puppet, looked at it intently, completely forgetting himself.

"What did Doctor Zhao say?" After Zhou Yanyu came back, Shen Xi asked him.

"It is still necessary to spend more time with him. First of all, let him feel that the environment he is in is safe. The most serious degree of depression in children is self-harm or even suicide. Children are in an uneasy environment for a long time, especially those who have been subjected to violence. He has no sense of security, and he doesn't trust adults, so he can only get used to and familiarized with him slowly, to cultivate a sense of trust, and make him feel safe here." Zhou Yanyu glanced at the child sitting upright in the living room and said.

"Don't be in a hurry, watch him more during this time." Shen Xi said.

"He vomited just now, I'll make some porridge." Zhou Yanyu turned and went into the kitchen, and Shen Xi was looking at the child not far away. In fact, this feeling was very strange, since the child was a stranger to them before tomorrow, But after deciding to adopt, it seems that there is a little more bondage unknowingly. First, this child is really distressing. I am afraid that this is what anyone with good intentions and sympathy will feel when they see him. This feeling, but if they didn't really want to adopt him, they would soon forget the sympathy they had when they met the child after they turned around and left. On the contrary, the meaning of this child was different to them.

As they hugged him, as they whispered to him, a small bond seemed to be born, one end of which actually started after they had made the adoption decision in Rome, and now the other end of the bond. The appearance of one end made this line connected together at once, so in less than a day, some inexplicable ties were formed, and it was bound to gradually deepen in the future.

In fact, compared to them, the child needs more time to get used to it. Before that, he knew nothing, was ignorant, and didn't know what would happen in the future. It was up to the two adults to do it for him. Solve and create, and give him a more secure and comfortable environment than before.

Shen Xi looked at Zhou Yanyu who was cooking porridge in the kitchen again. Back then, he was still young and thought he had an extra playmate, but now he really felt the panic and uneasiness that little Zhou Yanyu felt when he first arrived. It was probably because of this that he was very fond of children. Some people love their houses and crows, thinking about how little Zhou Yanyu came here, and this child was claimed by him and Zhou Yanyu, no matter what, let him live like a child again, instead of not daring to say a word like he is now.

As soon as 10 minutes came, an episode of cartoons was over, the child didn't touch the mouse, he just looked up to Shen Xi, Shen Xi was sitting at the table writing and drawing on the design draft, there was an extra child at home, he Feeling that it is necessary to adjust the previous design drawing, the child looked at it for a while, climbed off the sofa, and quietly came to the table with the puppet in his arms.

He was small, his head was not even up to the tabletop, his neck was raised and he refused to make a sound, just when Zhou Yanyu came out with a bowl of porridge, he called out for him: "Shen Xi."

Hearing a familiar voice, Shen Xi raised his head from the design draft, and saw a small head protruding from the dining table. He immediately recovered his senses and looked at the time, then praised him and said, "It's time? You are so self-conscious. .”

"The porridge is ready, let it cool down before eating." Zhou Yanyu came over and put the porridge aside and said.

Shen Xi brought the child over, hugged him on his lap and asked him: "Do you want to know what I'm painting?"

He didn't wait for the child's reaction, so he pointed it out to him: "This is our new home in the future. Do you want to have a room of your own? Our new home is very beautiful, with big transparent windows, and the forest outside, just like Just like the forest cabin in the fairy tale book."

"You can take him to see tomorrow." Zhou Yanyu sat down on the other side and said.

The child nestled in Shen Xi's arms and looked at the pictures on the table, feeling that these were all fake, how could there be such a beautiful house in this world, how could there be a room that belonged to him?But at the moment, he is in such a comfortable environment, and he has just watched an episode of cartoons, in which the doraemon has a magical pocket with everything in it. Could it be that these two adults were also transformed by doraemons?They also have a magic pocket?

He finally couldn't help but look up at Shen Xi, and then at Zhou Yanyu, and then his head was rubbed, and Shen Xi's voice came from above his head: "I'll take you to see the forest cabin tomorrow, after we're done, we'll go to the company Bring food to your little dad." When Shen Xi was talking, he looked at Zhou Yanyu, and asked him with a smile: "By the way, it's the first day of work tomorrow, so you really don't need me to accompany you?"

Zhou Yanyu didn't realize it at first, but when he saw that he was smiling meaningfully, he realized that there was indeed a very important matter tomorrow: "You mean the appointment for media interviews?"

"Otherwise?" Zhou Yanyu doesn't like being interviewed, so he has always played the role of facade. Therefore, in Zhou Yanyu's calendar, I am afraid that the interview is not written at all.

Zhou Yanyu was silent for a while, then said, "Then let us bring you meals instead."

Shen Xi laughed, rubbed the child's skinny face with big hands and said: "You are too thin, I have to make you fatter, let your little dad cook more delicious food tomorrow, and then bring them here to accompany me eat."

Listening to his words, the child felt an inexplicably strange feeling in his heart, as if "tomorrow" had become a bit exciting.
