lonely city, lonely love

He bent down and touched the little girl's head, seeing her smile, the corners of her mouth also rose together.Gu Anfeng picked up the little girl, put it on the sink in the bathroom, squeezed the toothpaste for the little girl, handed it to her, and watched her holding her chubby hands, opening her mouth, and brushing her teeth seriously. Looking at the three people who were a little crowded in the mirror, Gu Anfeng suddenly felt that such a lifetime is pretty good.

A lifetime is really too long.Gu Anfeng was afraid that after a long time, people around him would grow old, and Sheng Xilan would dislike him one day. This sensitive and slender nerve was afraid that one day the ring he was wearing would fall off like this, and the two of them would end their lifelong companionship like this. Promise, everything starts from scratch.

Sheng Xilan looked at Gu Anfeng's mouth full of foam, stared at the mirror in a daze, couldn't help but smiled and patted his head, "What are you thinking about? It's early in the morning, thinking so ecstatically?"

When he regained his senses, Gu Anfeng calmed down his inexplicable sadness, probably because of deep love and deep-rooted love, so he was worried about gains and losses, and smiled helplessly, "I was wondering if the little meat ball is getting fat again."

The little meatball immediately shook his own little meatball, blushed, and explained, "Brother is bad, I don't have one." Looking awkward, he glanced at Sheng Xilan at the side with a guilty conscience, muttered, and stopped talking.

Sheng Xilan couldn't help laughing, her little girl is really cute.

After the three of them packed up, they went downstairs. Ms. Gu was already preparing breakfast downstairs. As soon as she saw Gu Anfeng, she waved her hand and signaled him to go over. Little, so I followed Ms. Gu upstairs.

Ms. Gu took Gu Anfeng to the first room in the corridor. This is the study room that even Gu Anfeng seldom enters. In my memory, I was told by Ms. Gu countless times not to go in, and not to bring people in, because there are many important things in it.I didn't understand it when I was young, but I vaguely knew it when I grew up.

Going in again, the inside is very clean, not full of expensive antique vases as imagined, not even a painting, only a sofa, the style is still a long time ago, and the skin has fallen off.Ms. Gu came to the dark red desk and opened the drawer inside. There was a small box inside, a dark green brocade box, very retro. When it was opened, it was a pair of rings.

"Take it." Ms. Gu put the ring in front of Gu Anfeng. Under the dim light, it seemed that the ring was still shining after the test of time.

"What is this?" Gu Anfeng was a little caught off guard, looking at the rings in the brocade box, it was obviously a pair, inlaid with gemstones, one was red and the other was green, elegant and simple, shining under the light , you can tell at a glance that it is something of some age.

"This is the identity of the Gu family." Ms. Gu sighed, and put the brocade box on the table, "The Gu family has an unwritten rule, that is, all descendants must take away their rings after they get married. I have been waiting for this day , I didn't expect that it wasn't the Gu family marrying a daughter-in-law."

With deep helplessness and guilt for the past, the corners of Ms. Gu's eyes turned red.In the end, despite everything else, this is just a mother, no matter how busy she is, she still cares about her children in her heart.

Gu Anfeng looked at the ring, thinking of every generation, took it from his mother with a smile, and brought it to his beloved. This must be a beautiful picture, but when he met himself, he met this one. The unfilial offspring brought a man instead.

"Mom, since that's the case, I'll leave the ring to you."

"Forget it, no matter what, you will pass it on to Xiao Routuan in the future." Ms. Gu smiled, waved her hand, hesitated for a moment, her eyes changed, "An Feng, you are the only successor of the Gu family. .Can't you leave me a granddaughter or a grandson? Even if I beg you?"

Gu Anfeng hesitated, and realized for the first time how cruel his decision was to a mother, "There are three ways to be unfilial, and having no offspring is the greatest." This behavior of his should be the death penalty for Ms. Gu, right?Sighing, looking at the ring in the brocade box, it should not only be a kind of inheritance, but also a kind of responsibility.

"Mom, I love Sheng Xilan..."

Ms. Gu lowered her head, quickly touched the tears in the corners of her eyes, forced a smile, but her lips kept trembling, "I know, I know, I'm just thinking wildly."

Gu Anfeng stood in front of the desk, feeling a little dazed. It seemed that when he was young, he stood in front of the desk. Ms. Gu also sat like this, looking down at the thick documents, constantly busy, not even willing to give a single glance Share it with yourself.Time has changed, the position is still the same now, but the mood is different.

One no longer longs for that look, and the other can no longer give such a look.Everyone can't give it anymore, but the tacit understanding is that everyone is no longer forcing it.

Probably the last maternal love is not worth a "I hope you are happy".

Gu Anfeng stretched out his hand and hugged Ms. Gu. I don't know when it started. He became taller and Ms. Gu became petite. She was no longer the powerful woman he was familiar with.He patted her on the shoulder, as if he had fought a long battle, and although he won in the end, he didn't have the joy that he thought in his heart at the beginning.

"Mom, Xilan and I will be your family in the future, and we will all respect you well." Gu Anfeng said slowly, and the corners of his eyes began to turn red. This kind of commitment, with a child's last care for his mother, " Mom, Xiaoroutuan is your granddaughter, okay?"

okay?Compromise again for me?okay?Don't think about it any more, okay?

Gu Anfeng didn't say these words, but Ms. Gu understood. She nodded, pushed Gu Anfeng away, and said pretending to be disgusted, "Who told you to say such nasty things? It's really... Hurry up and eat! Wait a minute The food is cold. I have to send my daughter to school."

"Xilan will send it to you." Gu Anfeng looked at Ms. Gu with a smile, and it turned out that this is the so-called letting go.The venomous thorn that was originally suppressed was healed without treatment, and it healed miraculously.

"Go down."

Gu Anfeng put the ring in his pocket, and kept rubbing his fingers against the brocade box outside. There was no temperature, but the palm of his hand began to burn.He knew that Ms. Gu finally gave in.

When he came to the kitchen, Xiao Routuan was carefully pulling his bowl and chopsticks, raised his head, and smiled at Gu Anfeng.
