gentle fairy tale

It is rare to have the sun in winter in Northern Europe, and the feeling of dampness and coldness has been reduced a lot.

The setting sun is setting, and the light is magnificent and moving.

There were horses galloping wildly in the open and spacious horse farm, Pei Songxi turned around and asked, "Zhi Zhen, is your physical condition recovered enough to ride a horse now?"

Wen Zhizhen nodded: "The previous operation was very successful, and now I can ride for a short distance. But most of the time I just come here, and then sit here to drink tea and watch others ride."

Pei Songxi smiled and shook his head: "Why do you come here? It's better to stay at home when you come here to covet others... It's not right, you shouldn't be here now. You should go to Australia for vacation. It's too cold here."

Wen Zhizhen poured her a cup of tea: "What about you, are you here recently, are you doing work?"

"Yes, there is a large financing project under discussion."

"You seem to have been abroad for the past six months. What about the little girl in your family? Does she miss you?"

Pei Songxi's smile froze for a moment, and then quietly lowered her eyelashes, looking at the steam circling on the teacup: "She is in college. Yongzhou University is far away from home, and there is a lot of pressure on her studies. It should...it shouldn't be too much. miss me."

Wen Zhizhen observed her expression, and just about to say something, her mobile phone on the table rang.

He could see that she was a little hasty in answering the phone.

Pei Songxi stood up, went to the side and said a few words, her voice was low, she didn't know what she said, she walked back quickly, and said with a helpless smile: "Mianmian doesn't believe that I am abroad, you can tell her talk?"

Wen Zhizhen took her mobile phone and greeted her with a warm voice: "Hi, little girl. I'm Wen Zhizhen."

He didn't hear her answer, only the sound of her frozen breathing.

He returned the phone to Pei Songxi, and she seemed to say a few more words, but she hung up quickly, went back to sit down, and the tea was cold.

Wen Zhizhen poured her a cup of tea again, and said with a smile: "Songxi, it seems that you are not getting along well with the little girl now."

Pei Songxi took the new tea and said thank you in a low voice. There seemed to be a faint mist covering her cold and clean eyes. Her voice was very calm: "I'm adjusting. There may be some minor problems."

"Tell me, what are you adjusting?"

His tone was as gentle and friendly as ever. Pei Songxi smiled and answered his question: "Did you know that there is an emotional problem called excessive attachment. Simply put, the things you often like, the people you like... because one day After a day of contact, this sense of attachment will gradually deepen. After all, human habits are terrible things."

"Huh? So you think, it's bad, don't you?"

"Of course, whether it's for people or things, this kind of emotion is not good."

"Be more specific."

Pei Songxi nodded slowly, thinking about her words: "Mianmian seems to have...an overly strong attachment to me. When she was very young, she said that she wanted to stay by my side for the rest of her life, and now she occasionally reveals this. This kind of thinking. I have read some books on psychology and thought about this problem, probably because she suffered great changes when she was a child, lost her loved ones, and had no one to rely on, so she would subconsciously have a special attachment to the people around her."

Wen Zhizhen drank a cup of tea, and his tone was still relaxed and natural: "Do you think this is excessive attachment... Maybe I think, it may also be a more complicated feeling between liking and attachment?"

Pei Songxi frowned slightly: "I didn't think it was liking or anything... In short, it was an inappropriate emotion. I talked to her family, and Mianmian was different from children of the same age. She lost her parents unexpectedly when she was young. She didn't feel safe... You probably can't imagine that when she was a child, she would come home and cry on my lap because of a text about time and death. So I..."

She stopped talking, and after a long silence, she smiled: "So I can only treat her better as much as possible. Maybe I didn't do well enough to make her feel at ease."

Just like that time... that time when she was in the hospital, standing in the corridor and heard Mian Mian suppressed crying in the ward, she felt that she had done something wrong.

Wen Zhizhen listened carefully, and nodded slightly: "But in my opinion, you have done a good job."

Pei Songxi breathed a sigh of relief: "No. I thought about it carefully at the beginning. With my personality, I am not suitable for getting along with children. I can't give her the care and love she needs in the process of growing up, and I can't give her meticulous and thoughtful company. , I know all of this."

She is not a tolerant, gentle, emotionally stable adult, too cold-tempered, and doesn't like to get close to others. She has always cared and respected Mianmian more than love, especially after she entered puberty, she gave her a lot of space.

Maybe it's because she didn't grasp this boundary well and was too indifferent, so Yu Mian took the initiative to seek her attention, hoping to get more love, such as asking for a hug, wanting to sleep with her... and that ritualistic one Good night.

Wen Zhizhen shook his head with disapproval: "Then how do you solve this problem?"

Pei Songxi bowed his head and smiled: "Distance and time can dilute everything. Her family is very good to her, and she will slowly return to her family. At school, she will meet a lot of people. Maybe she will soon be in I met someone I like on the university campus. She is too young now, wait for her to grow up a bit, and it should be over."

Wen Zhizhen raised his eyebrows noncommittally: "What about you?"

"I?"

"You don't look well right now. Your emotional state doesn't seem to be as stable as you said. Have you seen a psychiatrist?"

Pei Songxi hesitated and nodded: "I have spoken with Zhou Qingyuan on the phone."

It's not that she doesn't miss Yu Mian.

She is her family, the roses she planted with her own hands, not to mention that she has never seen a warmer and lovely girl than her.

"What did she say?"

"I didn't say too much. Recently, she and Shen Sushang have been struggling with the matter of having a child. They don't have much time. Some problems are only clear to the person concerned. I'm fine. I'm an adult, and I can use reason to manage my emotions. Mian Mian Just... just now, she was too young."

Wen Zhizhen disagreed: "No, Songxi, you may not be as strong as you think."

Pei Songxi smiled indifferently: "It's fine. I don't think too much about it for the time being. My elder brother's pharmaceutical sales company is now in my hands, and Yu Anqing is in charge of the Yu family. She is not bad. The above shares and income are given to Mianmian. I just reached a cooperation agreement with her, and there are too many things at work recently, so I don’t have time to think about them.”

Wen Zhizhen thought of her state of working hard in the past six months, and when she heard the second half of her sentence, she smiled with some understanding: "You, you will always be like this."

It turned out to be for that little girl.

Pei Songxi didn't answer any more.

The setting sun was about to set, she stood up, took two steps outside, stretched out her palm, and felt the warmth of the light falling on her palm.

She suddenly thought of the rainy night at Yongzhou University, and the light on the window sill. Although three months had passed, it shone brightly on her heart at this moment.

The winter vacation of Yongzhou University is very short, and it has won the last place in the list of the length of national university vacations. It is already the end of January when the vacation really starts.

Yu Wenqing called Yu Mian early on, and drove a Cadillac to wait for her at the school gate.

Yu Mian was dragging the suitcase, seeing the two black-clothed bodyguards behind him, she was still helpless and funny: "Grandpa, why are you bringing so many people?"

Old Mr. Yu patted her head: "You don't understand, kids, don't worry too much about it. Alright, let's get in the car."

Yu Mian got in the car, a little sleepy, and just squinted his eyes when he heard Yu Wenqing sigh: "In the past ten years, I have often thought of the day your father is leaving. The driver said he would take him off, but I would not let him go. If I agreed then , or keep him... Everything may not happen. "

"grandfather……"

"Now when I see on TV that a female college student was kidnapped and trafficked on the way home from vacation, I am worried. You say you, I found you with great difficulty, but I dare not lose you again, or I will die I won't have the face to see your father after that."

Yu Mian was startled by what he said, her eyes were red.For the first time, she felt a kind of emotion close to family affection stirring in her chest, warm and sincere.She gently held the old man's hand and smiled: "I've grown up, and I won't get lost again."

Yu Wenqing touched her head: "Hey...well, Xiao Mian has grown up. Grandpa is relieved, your grandma is still talking about you, where are you going to celebrate the New Year this year?"

Yu Mian was stunned by his question, she subconsciously wanted to talk back to Mingchuan, but when she thought of Pei Songxi, her eyes dimmed: "I... can I go to Qingning?"

Yu Wenqing was overjoyed, and held her hand tightly: "Do you also want to go home for the New Year? Did Xiao Pei say that?"

Yu Mian lowered her head: "Not yet. I... I'll give her a call."

Yu Wenqing looked at her expectantly: "Hey, you hit, you hit, you should be careful when you speak, after all, Xiao Pei has raised you for so many years, she must have feelings for you, and she should be very sad when she finds out that you won't go back of."

Yu Mian smiled a little reluctantly: "Maybe."

She dialed Pei Songxi's number.

It's been exactly a month since I last spoke to her.

The moment the phone was connected, before she could speak, Yu Mian said first: "Aunt Pei, I'm on vacation. I have something to tell you."

Pei Songxi paused: "Say it."

"Grandpa came to pick me up. I want to follow him back...to go home for the New Year. I won't be going back to Mingchuan this year."

"Are you sure... you won't come back?"

"Well," Yu Mian turned her head, looking at the hurriedly receding building outside the car window: "I won't be going back. You... no matter how busy you are at work, don't spend Chinese New Year abroad, remember to go home."

I'm going to Qingning.

you come back.

Don't stay abroad because of me. You will feel lonely during the Chinese New Year.
