Life With You

Jiang Zongheng was about to pass away, and Song Xilai came to the restaurant to order cakes from Mai Zhe. Mai Zhe had been here for a week, and the customers said he was better than the pastry chef before. Many of them specially reserved a place to have desserts here. The same thing was served outside. It may only sell for 34 yuan, but here it is a three-digit starting price. While Mai Zhe's income increases, it also has great benefits for the restaurant's overall reputation.

Song Xi told Mai Zhe about Jiang Zongheng's tastes and preferences. He took a notebook and wrote it down carefully. Song Xi smiled and said, Excuse me, Mai Zhe.

Mai Zhe replied with a smile: You're welcome, I will make it a success that satisfies both of you.

The two chatted for a while, and Mai Zhe asked: Is Mengmeng on duty today?

Song Xi nodded and responded: Yes.

Mai Zhe said: Then I will bring her supper after get off work in the evening.

Song Xi said: Don't bother. She won't eat at night to lose weight. You have been tired for a day, so go back and rest early.

Mai Zhe said: I'm not tired either. I'll make a salad for her. It's still not possible without eating. I'm so hungry that I feel flustered and I'm in a bad mood.

Song Xi couldn't say much else. After chatting for a while, he came out of the operation room and went to the bar to find Diana.

Diana could see at a glance that Song Xi was hesitant to speak and asked, What's wrong?

There were no outsiders around. Song Xi sat on a high chair and whispered: I think I am quite selfish. I feel happy but unhappy when I see Xiaomai being nice to Da Mengmeng.

Diana immediately understood Song Xi's mood, sighed softly, and said aloud: We are both Da Mengmeng's family and Dongxu's family. When they are together, our palms and backs are naturally full of flesh. They all die together, but it's different when outsiders get involved.

Actually speaking, in a strict sense, Xiaomai and Mengmeng have known each other longer than we have. It is reasonable that the two of them have a good relationship. Besides, Xiaomai is a good person. If he and Mengmeng really get together, it might not be a bad thing. Son...Hey, anyway, I'm just like you, of course I hope Mengmeng and Dongxu are together, but falling in love is their own business after all, we are all outsiders and can't control it.

Song Xi felt powerless precisely because she could carry it clean. She couldn't even call Gu Dongxu to urge him to get Da Mengmeng back as soon as possible. After all, the current situation was not easy for anyone.

The two of them were chatting here when they heard a slightly childish male voice behind them, speaking in authentic American English: Mom, I want to eat their cakes, chocolate, mango and hazelnut cream, all of them. want……

Song Xi didn't look back at first until he heard a gentle female voice, I'm back home, speak Chinese.

Only six words, light and airy, but Song Xi's whole body felt like being struck by lightning. She did not dare to look back, her body was stiff, and the conversation behind her continued, getting closer and closer. First, the boy said in Chinese: Mom, hurry up Come on, you’ll be late for the movie soon.”

The woman said: You can only choose one.

Every time she spoke, Song Xi felt a tight and powerless feeling. Her body was tight, but her heart didn't know how to rest. How many years had it been since she had seen Lu Fangqi? It had been so long that she thought she had forgotten that person, but in fact, over the years, she had accidentally heard a voice very similar to Lu Fangqi's several times. Yes, it was just similar. Every time she couldn't control her thoughts. When the reputation goes away, it is a naked disappointment every time, and this disappointment can last for a month or two, or even longer.

Song Xi hadn't even heard a voice similar to Lu Fangqi's for at least five or six years, so at first glance, she still couldn't control her body's instinctive reaction.

All she could control was not to look back foolishly, or to let herself fall into despair again.

In just a few seconds, the mother and son had already arrived in front of the bar. The boy wanted four flavors of cake. The woman persisted for a long time and finally agreed to choose two. The boy stretched out his hand and gestured: Three kinds, chocolate, cream. And mango.”

The woman shook her head, No.

The boy lay on the bar and started muttering in English again, saying that he wanted to call his father.

Song Xi was at a parallel angle with them, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a boy who spoke English. He was taller than expected, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His skin was very fair. He was dressed in hip-hop and wore a peaked cap. He was very handsome. Because he was tall, he Blocking the woman on the other side, Song Xi felt awkward, wanting to see but not wanting to.

The clerk came over to entertain them. The woman asked the boy to choose two flavors. The boy turned his head away angrily. He turned his face completely to Song Xi. Song Xi glanced at it without leaving any trace and secretly thought that this child will be fine when he grows up. He had a handsome face at a young age.

Sure enough, being good-looking these days is popular. Diana, who was sitting at the bar, raised her lips and took the initiative to chat, Little handsome boy, mom doesn't let you eat too much cake because she is afraid that you will damage your teeth. You are so handsome. , what should I do if my mouth is missing teeth?

The boy bared his teeth at Diana, and then said: I have had my teeth replaced a long time ago. The doctor said that my teeth are very good and there will be no cavities.

This move not only made Diana laugh, but also made Song Xi laugh. The woman blocked by the boy said: Lele, hurry up, didn't you say the movie is going to be late? Hurry up and choose two.

Hearing the words, the boy suddenly squatted down with a depressed look on his face. He stood up about 1.7 meters tall and blocked the person on the other side. However, when he suddenly squatted down, Song Xi was caught off guard and saw the other person. The woman on one side is the boy's mother...perhaps, she is also her mother.

The reason for using maybe is because Song Xi had not seen Lu Fangqi for many years. When Lu Fangqi divorced Song Yuanqing and moved out of the house, Song Xi was only eleven or twelve years old. At that time, she thought that Lu Fangqi no longer wanted them as a father and daughter, so she had a very bad attitude towards Lu Fangqi. She didn't talk at all when Lu Fangqi came to see her. She also pretended to turn a blind eye on the road. Later, I don't know if Lu Fangqi got tired of it and gradually disappeared into Song Xi's world. Song Xi remembered that the last time she saw Lu Fangqi was when she was fourteen years old. that year.

Fourteen, she is already twenty-seven this year. She has not seen her for thirteen years. She has long been accustomed to not having a mother in her life, but Lu Fangqi appeared in front of her unexpectedly.

Song Xi stood still and held her breath. She felt that the person in front of her was Lu Fangqi. Although she hadn't seen her for thirteen years, Lu Fangqi was not as young as she remembered, but this was her mother, she was by blood, and no one would do it on the street. Go up and admit that your loved ones are wrong.

But……

The woman didn't recognize her. Song Xi was right in front of the woman. She even stared at him, but the woman only saw the boy squatting on the ground.

After all the talk, the boy stood up after agreeing to choose three flavors of cake. The woman looked at Song Xi, then at Diana, and said with an embarrassed smile: I can't help it, I'm spoiled.

After buying the cake, the two were about to leave. Song Xi shouted almost uncontrollably: Auntie...

The woman turned her head and looked at Song Xi. The two looked at each other. Song Xi suddenly couldn't say anything. She could feel the urge to burst into tears, so she forced herself to smile and said repressedly: The cakes here are all It’s made with xylitol, so it doesn’t matter if you eat a little more.”

Hearing this, the woman smiled and nodded, Okay, thank you.

Seeing the woman and the boy leaving together, Song Xi's scalp felt a little numb. Could it be that there are really two very similar people in this world? From looks to sounds?

The woman is not Lu Fangqi, and she does not know Song Xi.
