On the second day of junior high school, Anxi traveled by car with the Qu family.

They drove two cars and played while walking. It took them three days to reach the tourist resort in the neighboring city.

It was evening when we arrived at the hotel, the same as staying in a hotel on the road, with three rooms, one for Anxi, one for Quyou and Mianmian, one for Qufu and Qumu, and one for Quzheng alone.

In the evening, Anxi washes up first, and Quyou watches cartoons with Mianmian.

The soundproofing of the bathroom is not good, and Anxi can hear the sound of Quyou making Mianmian.

These few days of traveling, Anxi, Mianmian, and Quyou have been sitting in the back seat together, and stayed in the hotel together at night. Mianmian was accompanied by Anxi, and she felt relaxed. At the beginning, she was occasionally a little awkward with Quyou. After a day, I completely forgot about the little grievances before, and opened my heart to accept this beautiful aunt.

Now Mianmian is giggling because of Quyou.

An Xi stood under the shower and closed her eyes.

A sense of loneliness suddenly emerged in my heart.

In the Qu family these days, this feeling has been entrenched in her heart, and she can't get rid of it.

Qu's father and Qu's mother are polite and polite to her, but they are also unfamiliar in every way. Only when they are facing Qu Zheng and Qu You, they will relax and talk freely.

This subconscious difference made Anxi realize that she was not accepted in the Qu family.

Anxi is just an outsider of the Qu family.

They are a family, but Anxi and them are not.

Anxi left the bathroom after taking a shower.

Qu You held Mianmian in her arms, imitating the characters in the cartoon with exaggerated acting techniques, making Mianmian laugh non-stop.

Anxi scratched her wet hair, and suddenly wanted to call Mianmian away from Quyou's arms.

She quickly suppressed the emotion that shouldn't be there.

Anxi forced herself to look away, dried her hair as if nothing had happened, then applied skin care products, and went to another bed to read a book.

Anxi couldn't read a single word of the book.

The voices of Mianmian and Quyou watching cartoons are too harsh, making Anxi a little irritable.

She was stunned for a long time, and when she came back to her senses, she found that she had unconsciously rubbed the skin on the ring finger of her left hand red.Anxi immediately let go of her hand.

It has been more than six years, she has taken off her wedding ring for more than six years, and she still hasn't given up this habit.

"Mummy!" Mianmian crawled over to hug Anxi after watching the cartoon, and retell the content of the cartoon with her just now.

Anxi embraced Mianmian, the feeling of emptiness and boredom in her heart dissipated immediately, she bowed her head and listened carefully to Mianmian's words.

Mianmian danced while talking, recreating the scenes in the cartoon for Anxi, which made Anxi laugh.

After Mianmian finished speaking, Anxi hugged her to take a bath.

After a day of fuss, Mianmian was already sleepy, she leaned on Anxi's shoulder and yawned before she finished her bath.

An Xi dried her body and put on her pajamas.

Mianmian half-closed her eyes to cooperate, and yawned until tears came out of the corners of her eyes.

Anxi raised her hand to wipe it off for her.

Mianmian opened her eyes, took a look at Anxi, then leaned back on Anxi's shoulder, hugged her and said, "Mummy, I'm very happy, you and aunt can play with me all the time."

An Xi touched her back, knowing that she shouldn't, so she asked, "Do you like Auntie very much?"

Mianmian hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly: "She treats me very well."

Anxi opened her mouth, at this time she should say - from now on when I'm not around, can I let my aunt stay with you - but Anxi couldn't say it.

Mianmian leaned against her, already sleepy to the point of confusion.

Anxi carried her out of the bathroom, put her on the bed, and covered her with the quilt.

Mianmian stared at Anxi, and habitually said, "Mummy, Mianmian loves you."

Anxi kissed her forehead: "I love you too."

Mianmian closed her eyes, and fell asleep in a blink of an eye.

An Xi sat by the bed for a while, and when she raised her eyes, she met Qu You's gaze.

Qu You smiled awkwardly, picked up her pajamas and went into the bathroom.

Anxi lost sleep that night.

Mianmian began to like Quyou, and this reality became a sore thorn in Anxi's heart.

Anxi couldn't help but wonder if Mianmian's dependence on her and the "I love you" she said to her were just habits formed during years of getting along.

As long as there is enough time, this habit will gradually replace the content and become Qu You.

Could it be that one day in the future, Mianmian will also lie on Quyou's shoulder, sweetly and softly say "I love you" to Quyou.

This thought made Anxi panic.

She knew such a day would come.

Mianmian will leave her one day.No one stays by their side forever.

The next day's itinerary is to go to the theme park.

There were many people in the park, and Qu You was afraid of being recognized, which would cause everyone to have a bad time. She had no companions, so she waited alone in the hotel.

After breakfast, the group drove to the park.

After wandering and playing in the park all morning, Qu's mother couldn't keep up, so she found a coffee shop to rest, Anxi and Qu Zheng took Mianmian to ride the carousel again.

While queuing up, Mianmian suddenly wanted to go to the toilet, Anxi saw that there were still many people ahead, so she led Mianmian away to find the bathroom, leaving Qu Zheng in line.

After going to the bathroom, Anxi saw a milk tea shop opposite, and suddenly wanted to buy a few cups of hot milk tea, so she led Mianmian to the shop.

There were not many people in the milk tea shop, so Anxi asked Mianmian to sit at the empty table and chairs and wait for her. He went to the front desk to order three cups of milk tea. After scanning the QR code to pay, the clerk asked Anxi if he wanted to buy desserts. There are promotions these days. Anxi Shaking his head and refusing.

Anxi put away her mobile phone, looked back, and found that Mianmian was no longer on the empty table and chair!

There was no Mianmian in the whole shop.

Anxi's face turned pale with fright, and immediately ran to the door of the shop, looked around several times, but still couldn't find Mianmian.

It was only a few words before and after she bought the milk tea, but Mianmian disappeared.

Anxi searched all the nearby amusement areas, but found nothing.

She finally returned to the milk tea shop and asked the clerk if she had seen her daughter come back. The clerk shook her head and said no, and then enthusiastically provided Anxi with the telephone number of the tourist service center, asking Anxi to call the service center for help.

Anxi didn't bother to say thank you, and immediately called the service center, who quickly agreed to broadcast to find someone.

After hanging up the call to the service center, Anxi sat in the plastic chair of the milk tea shop and closed her eyes.Because she was too anxious, she was a little dizzy.

After a few seconds of delay, she calmed down and called Qu Zheng to explain the situation.

Qu Zheng came over quickly, panting and asked Anxi what happened.

Anxi stood up and said, "I just bought milk tea, and when I turned around, Mianmian disappeared... I've searched all around here, but nothing, I just asked the service center for help, and the radio has already been played."

Qu Zheng looked calmer than Anxi, and said, "Mianmian is smart, when she hears the broadcast, she will definitely ask for directions to the service center. You go and wait, and I'll look for her later."

Anxi nodded.

The two acted separately.

Within a few minutes, Mother Qu also called. In a hurry, she asked Anxi what happened and why she lost the child.

Anxi apologized, "I'm sorry."

"Don't tell me it's useless." Mother Qu said angrily, "You go out to film as soon as you return to China, and if you don't come back for a few months, you will lose Mianmian when you come back. Lin Anxi, what do you mean?"

Anxi opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Mother Qu put down the phone.

Before Lin Anxi got to the information desk, she called and said that her child had been found.

After Mianmian walked away, she heard the radio and happened to meet the patrolling security guards, so she was quickly taken to the service center by the patrol car, and now she is waiting for her parents to pick her up in the lounge.

Mianmian is fine, there is no danger.

Anxi ran all the way to the service center.

Mianmian pulled a pink Mickey Mouse balloon, sitting on the sofa in the lounge, seeing Anxi from a distance, immediately jumped up and shouted: "Mommy!"

An Xi strode over, bent over and hugged her: "Where did you go?"

Mianmian also knew that she might have gotten into trouble, so she whispered: "I saw someone selling balloons outside, so I wanted to buy one for my aunt. She must be lonely in the hotel by herself."

Anxi found Mianmian's excitement and relaxation, but was instantly shattered by these words.

Mianmian left without permission, originally to buy balloons for Quyou.

Anxi froze for a few seconds before saying, "So you left the milk tea shop by yourself?"

Mianmian lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry Mommy, I made you worry..."

Anxi forced a smile: "It's okay, I'll call your father first, he is also very worried about you."

Qu Zheng, Qu's father and Qu's mother rushed over quickly, and everyone was relieved to see that Mianmian was fine.

Mother Qu hugged Mianmian into her arms, and kept saying that she was fine, that she was not abducted, and so on.After she finished speaking, she rubbed Mianmian's back and glanced at Anxi, her gaze was full of reproach and complaint, which made Anxi's heart ache.

After this incident, no one was in the mood to play anymore, so they returned to the hotel like this.

Qu You learned about this from the phone and waited for them in the hotel parking lot.

Mianmian felt that the atmosphere was abnormal, so she held the pink balloon listlessly and remained silent.The car stopped, but she remained motionless.

Anxi hugged her and said, "Didn't you buy balloons for your aunt? Hurry up and give them to her. She must be very worried about you too."

Mianmian shook her head sullenly.

Qu You had already walked to the side of the car, and was talking to Qu Zheng, asking about the specific situation.

Anxi took Mianmian's hand: "It's okay, Mianmian, no one is angry with you, everyone is just too worried about you..."

Mianmian raised her eyes and looked at Anxi: "Really?"

"Really." An Xi said, "And my aunt must be very happy knowing that you bought her a balloon. So we Mianmian must also be happy, otherwise my aunt will be unhappy because she is worried about you."

Mianmian finally nodded and followed Anxi to get off the car.

"Mianmian." Qu You immediately raised a smiling face, never mentioning Mianmian's loss, but said, "What a cute balloon, did your father buy it for you?"

Mianmian shook her head and passed the balloon over: "I bought it for you."

Qu You was stunned: "For me?"

"Yeah." Mianmian pulled the balloon, "This is Mickey Mouse, very cute, and it has a bow..."

Qu You took the balloon and hugged Mianmian.

"Thank you, I like it very much!" After finishing speaking, Qu You kissed Mianmian's face forcefully, "I really like it so much! Are you hungry, shall I buy you a cake?"

"Okay." Mianmian was instantly happy, and was led by Qumu and Quyou for a few steps before thinking of Anxi and calling back, "Mommy, come quickly!"

Anxi pursed her lips with a smile, and replied, "Here we are."

After dinner, Qu Zheng invited Anxi for a walk, and the two chatted in the hotel garden.

Qu Zheng told Anxi not to mind too much about Mianmian getting lost today.

"I went to see the monitoring of the milk tea shop later, it was Mianmian who walked out by herself, not your responsibility."

Anxi said: "I am also responsible. If I had led Mianmian to order milk tea at that time, what happened later would not have happened."

"Don't think like this." Qu Zheng said, "The child itself is a big variable, and you can't control all the details. You are already a very good mother."

Anxi stepped on the bluestone slab and said nothing.

After a while, Qu Zheng said: "And my mother scolded you today, I hope you don't pay too much attention to it, she is also in a hurry."

Anxi thought of Qu's mother blaming her for not caring about Mianmian's words during filming, and her throat felt dry.

She lowered her head and said in an indifferent tone: "I have nothing to worry about, and my aunt didn't scold me at all."

Qu Zheng looked at her carefully, as if he didn't believe Anxi's words.

Anxi smiled and thumped Qu Zheng: "What are you doing? Do you think I'm so mean?"

Qu Zheng also smiled: "No."

The two walked around the garden and returned to the hotel.

Anxi suffered from insomnia again that night.

He couldn't fall asleep, he kept thinking about what happened today.Think of the balloon Mianmian bought for Qu You, think of Qu's mother's attitude, think of Qu's back when she is holding Mianmian and leaving.

My heart became more and more stuffy.

Mianmian was beside her, sleeping deeply.With her back facing Anxi, Qu You was already fast asleep.

An Xi couldn't lie down any longer, so she put on her coat and quietly walked out of the room.

She has to go out and walk around.

After entering the elevator, Anxi turned on his phone to check the time, it was one o'clock in the morning.

She tightened her coat, braved the cold night, and went to the back garden of the hotel.

In the middle of the night, there was no one in the garden.The street lights are dim and light, and the garden is dark and dark. Only when passing under the lights, the feet and surroundings are clear.

Anxi stepped on the stone path and walked deep into the garden.

The surrounding is very quiet, only a little distant traffic sound.

Anxi let out a breath of white air, looked up at the dark and deep night sky, and suddenly felt lonely.

Now she has realized very deeply that Qu's house is not her place of belonging, and Qu's mother and the others don't want Anxi to really stay.When Mianmian and Quyou recognize each other, she has to leave.

Where should she go then?

It seems that I can go anywhere, but there is nowhere to go.

Her parents are both dead, and she has few relatives and friends. She is alone, floating in the world, with nowhere to turn.

Maybe she will wander in this life until she dies.

Anxi walked through a palm tree, raised her eyes casually in the dark night, and stopped suddenly.

She saw Cen Ge.
