rest of life

Tong Yao was in a daze for a long time when she saw the text message.

Before she could think of anything to reply, another message popped up on her phone.

Her flight was canceled due to thunderstorms at her destination.

"..."

Tong Yao immediately switched to the high-speed rail ticket and counted the time. Although it was already evening when she got there, it was not impossible to take the high-speed rail for five or six hours.Immediately booked a ticket.

She still wants to go back sooner.

Tong Yao happened to send a screenshot of the ticket issuance news to Tong Xiaojun, and said: [I'm out of town now, so I can't make it back. ]

Tong Xiaojun replied in seconds: [Why can't you come back in time, don't you just have dinner?I will pick you up. ]

Tong Yao was troubled: [Do you have dinner at 08:30 at home? ]

Tong Xiaojun: [What time will I come back, and what time will I have dinner at home. ]

Tong Yao: "..."

Her throat moved slightly, and she didn't reply to him again.

Forwarded the booking message to Gu Qingyun and explained.

Gu Qingyun called quickly, "Okay, I'll pick you up."

"No need," Tong Yao thought it would be inconvenient if it rained heavily, "it's faster to transfer directly from the high-speed train to the subway, so don't worry about it."

Gu Qingyun thought for a few seconds, "Okay..."

Tong Yao said "um", "Then our business," she paused, embarrassed to say the word cohabitation, "Anyway, postpone it for a day?"

"Okay——" Gu Qingyun paused, "Stop talking, I have a phone call here."

"..."

—

There is no need to go to the ground to transfer directly from the high-speed rail station to the subway. Tong Yao doesn't feel the thunderstorm outside no matter how heavy it is.

She quickly got on the subway and was in a daze.

The phone screen lights up.

Another message from Tong Xiaojun.

Tong Yao sighed, her mood was as damp as the invisible sky outside.

She still didn't click it.

At the next station, the station door opens.

A mother and child came in. The little boy was wearing gray clothes, looking dirty, with a conspicuous red face, flat nose and small eyes.He looked around and couldn't find an empty seat.

Suddenly ran over and sat down on Tong Yao's lap.

"..."

Tong Yao was constantly kicked by children in the back seat on the high-speed rail. It was useless for her to communicate with her parents, and she was too lazy to call the station attendant, so she endured it all the way.

The parents at that time said: The child is so young, he didn't even kick you.

Now the child can sit directly on himself.

Tong Yao couldn't believe it, she just felt a burst of anger.

Without saying a word, she stretched out her hand and pushed the child on the back, pushing him away.

Thought it would be all right.

The little boy's mother was looking at the platform information, but she didn't see this scene. She turned her head and called the child back, "Come here, come to mom."

The little boy was disobedient, after he was pushed away by Tong Yao, he turned around in this carriage, Gao Yuanhong took up almost half of his face, ran back and forth and then sat on Tong Yao's lap.

"..."

If it was normal, Tong Yao would definitely stand up and let him sit down.

Just in time for her to be in a bad mood.

"Don't sit on my lap," she said in a heavy tone, and then pushed the boy's back.

Push him away.

The boy's mother still hasn't come.

The little boy ran around the carriage again, the seats were full, everyone looked at him, but no one wanted to stand up and give up his seat to him.

He sat on Tong Yao's lap for the third time.

"..."

Tong Yao was really going to die of anger. As soon as he sat down, she pushed him away with a palm.

The door just opened.

"I told you to come here, come to mother," the boy's mother finally came over cursingly, dragged the boy away, rolled her eyes at Tong Yao and said, "The aunt doesn't have any love at all, she won't let you sit, and keeps pushing you, right... ..."

Said, and quickly got off the station.

Tong Yao was so angry that she thought, why should she give up her seat to him?Can't walk at the age of six or seven?Can't stand?

She wanted to talk back, but the other party walked too fast.

When the station door closed, silence returned.

A young couple sitting opposite Tong Yao, the girl suddenly said, "That child must be Tang's son, how pitiful."

Her boyfriend echoed, "It's not easy to see his mother take him out alone."

Tong Yao was stunned for a moment.

She finally thought of something strange, the little boy's eyes were dull, stubborn and clumsy that he turned back three times, he never spoke, and there was still a little saliva dripping from the corners of his lips.

They are all recognizable features of Down's syndrome.

But she didn't recognize it.

The anger in Tong Yao's heart was instantly pierced by a sharp needle, and it became more and more leaky, revealing a sense of guilt.

No wonder her mother said that she has no love...

Tong Yao looked at the messages on her phone sullenly.

Tong Xiaojun sent more than a dozen persuasive words, and the text became longer and longer, from one sentence to a long paragraph.

Tong Yao saw his last sentence:

[Uncles and aunts are already very sorry for you, do you have to rely on them thinking about you and force them to kowtow to you as a daughter? ?Tong Yao, you are not too young, can you not be too selfish? !Do you have a conscience? ]

Can a person not be too selfish, have a conscience...

Tong Yao heard someone whispering about Down's syndrome in this carriage.

There was something pressing in her heart, and she felt that everyone was glancing at her indiscriminately.Depression emerged, she blinked quickly, and told herself repeatedly, don't think about it, don't think about it...

Why did he suddenly become a bad person in the eyes of others?

"..."

Tong Yao dimmed the phone screen and got out of the car early as soon as the station door opened.

The remaining few stops are not far from home.

Tong Yao stopped a taxi, got in, and suddenly wanted to see Gu Qingyun.

She made a phone call.

—

"Don't let me pick it up, is that how you came back?" Gu Qingyun opened the door, and saw Tong Yao who was covered in light rain, and before he could attack her, "Hurry up and take a bath!"

"Oh," Tong Yao felt as if she had been picked up from the river, and she couldn't help but wet her floor. She hesitated before stepping in, and said, "I'll mop the floor later."

"Clean yourself up first."

Gu Qingyun turned into the room and quickly brought her a change of clothes.

Hot water rushed over me.

Tong Yao habitually thinks about life, thinks of all kinds of things today, her gloomy mood slowly ferments, and her eyes become dizzy.She supported the wall, and belatedly remembered that she hadn't eaten yet.

Putting on her pajamas, Tong Yao suddenly felt something was wrong, so she took off her pajamas and looked at the brand again.

...This is a children's clothing brand!

What kind of bad taste?

Tong Yao couldn't help laughing for a moment.

After wiping my hair a little, I could smell the aroma of food when I went out, "Huh? Did you order takeaway?"

The voice did not fall.

Tong Yao saw that the kitchen was brightly lit, and there was Gu Qingyun wearing an apron standing inside. She had just picked up the bowl and chopsticks in her hand, turned around, picked up the plate again and said, "It's just right, let's eat quickly."

"...You, did you do it?"

Tong Yao looked around, subconsciously trying to find a third person.

Gu Qingyun unbuttoned the apron behind him, and smiled, "Could it be that I still lie to you with takeaway dishes? The pot is still hot, if you don't believe me, go in and have a look."

"No, I'm just..."

Tong Yao couldn't speak clearly.Swallowing his saliva, he quickly sat down.

Carefully glance at the dishes as you pick up your chopsticks.

Although they are all home-cooked dishes, they look delicious and delicious, and there is a decent braised short ribs next to them.

Tong Yao pointed carefully, "This is a time-consuming dish."

"I know you're coming back tonight," Gu Qingyun didn't sit down, and gave her a condescending look, "Why, you are the only one who can cook?"

"Depend on……"

Tong Yao couldn't help cursing.

The dishes she made were not fancy, the short ribs were stewed so tender and delicious that it didn't feel like eating a piece.

Tong Yao raised her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes, "How can my wife be so perfect?! You can even cook, so what's the use of me."

Gu Qingyun's brows and eyes were amused by her exaggerated and sincere tone, and then he said softly, "I want you to eat."

Tong Yao ate obediently, one chopstick after another, and in a blink of an eye most of the rice in the bowl was empty.While she was eating emotionally, she felt a sense of crisis, and she was going to take the time to enroll herself in a master chef class to learn art.

The corners of Gu Qingyun's lips curled up, seeing her eating so deliciously, he felt proud.

If Tong Yao opens the top cabinet in the kitchen now, she will find all kinds of recipes and cooking-related books hidden in it.It was full, and she bought almost everything in the bookstore, and studied it according to her studies.

Failed products are poured out pot by pot.

I didn't eat less of the dark dishes I made.

It's only recently that it's finally doing well.

"..."

Of course, Gu Qingyun always looked calm to death, calmly, and said with a smile in his tone: "Eat slowly, move to my place, and cook for you every day from now on."

Tong Yao raised her eyes, put down her hands and ate cleanly, like a rinsed bowl.

The belly is round.

Suddenly thought of something, his almond eyes widened, he grabbed his collar and asked, "So my children's clothes... did you buy it for me?"

"Well, I don't know if it's the brand you usually wear."

"... What do you say??"

—

Gu Qingyun bought a lot of pajamas for Tong Yao and brought her in to have a look.

Just turned on the light.

Tong Yao's gaze was immediately attracted by the paintings hanging on the wall——

Gu Qingyun followed her gaze and froze for a while.

She has hung the painting there for too long, and she will see it every morning and before going to bed, which is familiar and natural.

I forgot that Tong Yao didn't know yet.

But forget it.

Gu Qingyun didn't want to hide it either.

She folded her arms and said solemnly, "Anyway, it's an ownerless thing. I found it pleasing to the eye, so I brought it back."

Tong Yao was dumbfounded: "What kind of ownerless thing..."

This was drawn by Tong Yao during the previous group building.

It was originally left in the cabin as a decoration, but Tong Yao didn't expect to get it back before leaving. Later, thinking about it, although a painting is nothing, what she painted was Gu Qingyun.

Still unwilling to leave the painting there.

After Tong Yao went back, she called the people at the holiday manor and asked if they could send the things over, and the shipping fee would be paid.

The lady at the front desk told her in a sweet tone that the courier had been sent out yesterday.

She was still thinking that high-end vacation places are different, even if she doesn't mention it, they will automatically provide perfect services.

"They said they sent it to me. I waited for several days for the delivery." Tong Yao asked for the company's address, and foolishly didn't ask for the recipient's phone number. "I thought it was lost..."

"It's not lost, just come back to me."

"Oh, then..."

"Seeing that you were not very happy when you entered the door just now, what happened on the way?"

Tong Yao said "Oh" again, remembering that she was still wronged.

She threw herself into Gu Qingyun's arms, her exquisite and gentle body seemed to be able to soothe all depression.

Hugs are so beautiful.

He buried his face in the hollow of her shoulder, sniffing the fragrance of her body.

Tong Yao opened her mouth to talk.

After a while, she said dully, "I...I even forgot why I was unhappy..."
