My Wife Always Thought I Did Not Love Him

When the woman came out, Xia Yao deliberately hid on the upper floor.Through the gap in the stairs, he found that the person was the woman he had met in the corridor last time.

Xia Yao stared at her calmly, and when she was almost out of sight on the first floor, he took a breath and stood at the door of his house again.

Xia Yao never heard his mother mention his father since he was a child, he always thought that he didn't have a father.Maybe he died, maybe he abandoned him and his mother.No matter what it is, Xia Yao has always been dependent on his mother.

He didn't understand what the woman meant by "he's going to go back to his father sooner or later." That is, he did have a father, and maybe he was doing well.

But no matter what the condition of the man called father is, Xia Yao will never leave his mother.He didn't need it, he didn't need it in his previous life, and he didn't need it in this life.He didn't need it when he was young, and he didn't need it when he grew up.

Although he and his mother are living in poverty now, Xia Yao believes that through his own efforts, his mother will be able to live a better life in the future.

He stood outside the door to adjust his mood, and then pushed open the mottled wooden door of the house.

"Mom, is that friend of yours here again?" He pretended to ask unintentionally.

Mother Xia was so preoccupied that she didn't hear clearly what Xia Yao was saying.

Xia Yao continued to say patiently: "I just went downstairs and saw the aunt I saw last time."

"Oh." Xia's mother's eyes flickered, "She is free today, so she came to see me."

"That's it." Xia Yao didn't care much and changed the subject: "Mom, let's eat fish tonight, we haven't eaten for a long time."

Xia's mother stood up quickly: "Then you go to do your homework, and mother will cook right away."

Xia Yao entered the room carrying his schoolbag, leaning his back against the door, lowering his eyes and wondering what he was thinking.

-

When Zhou's nanny went upstairs to call Zhou Du for dinner, she found that his room was open and he was writing something on the desk.

Nanny Zhou looked at the waste paper he threw all over the floor, thinking that Zhou Du was dealing with some kind of problem.So she knocked on Zhoudu's door and said softly, "You can come down to eat."

Zhou Du heard someone talking behind him, and hurriedly stuffed the paper he was writing into the drawer in a panic. He glanced at the scattered waste paper scattered around his feet, pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Got it." ,I'll come."

After Zhou's nanny left, he quickly bent down and picked up the waste paper.

Early the next morning, Zhou Du had two thick dark circles under his eyes, listlessly packing his things and preparing to go to school.Zhou's mother just came down from upstairs, she called Zhou Du who was about to go out.

"Looking at your dying look, Xia Yao didn't accept your apology?"

Zhou Du gave a "hmm", as if he didn't want to talk about this topic with his mother, he opened the door and ran out quickly.

Mother Zhou stood on the stairs, frowning thoughtfully.

The school was still lively as usual, Zhou Du put his hands in his pockets, clutching something tightly.

Xia Yao was sitting on his seat with his head bowed while writing his homework. Zhou Du stared at his back for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to get up and go to his side.

But a classmate sitting in front of Xia Yao suddenly turned around and put a document on Xia Yao's seat. Xia Yao stopped writing and picked up that person's document book. The two seemed to be discussing something.

Zhou Du could only sit down again.

There were two joint exams in the morning, and Xia Yao was dragged away by Xiaopang to the cafeteria at noon.Zhou Du never found a chance to talk to Xia Yao.

After the end of the third class in the afternoon, Xia Yao got up and left his seat, and Zhou Du followed behind him.

But when he reached the door, Xia Yao was stopped by the English teacher. The English teacher had always liked Xia Yao, so Zhou Du could only turn around and go back to the classroom.

Not long after he returned to the classroom, the proprietress walked in with a straight face.

The originally noisy classroom was instantly quiet.

"Class is about to start, and you are still making noise, don't you know to take out the book in advance to have a look!"

Everyone is used to this kind of inexplicable reprimand, and the obedient students hurriedly took out the books they will use in class later.

Zhou Du's expression was a little impatient, he was staring at his desk absently.The proprietress usually pays more attention to Zhou Du, but now seeing his distraught appearance, she immediately became angry.

He was just about to speak to Zhou Du when the earthquake siren sounded in the school.

The city where Zhoudu lived was originally an earthquake-prone area, and at that time, the Wenchuan earthquake had only passed for a few months, and the classroom suddenly exploded into a pot of porridge.

"Quickly go downstairs! Run to an open place!" The proprietress stood on the podium and yelled at the frightened students below.

The students woke up with a start, and immediately rushed out of the door in a crowd.

The footsteps of "dong dong dong" can be heard everywhere upstairs and downstairs, shaking the dilapidated and old third-floor crumbling.

After the last person in the class had left, the proprietress ran downstairs after the students.

All the students in the school ran to the newly built stadium. At this time, the head teacher of each class grouped the students of their own class together.

Zhou Du supported his knees and panted heavily, all the students around him turned pale.

He looked up and glanced at the crowd in his class, but he didn't see that familiar figure.

Zhou Du panicked immediately, he quickly grabbed someone beside him and asked, "Did you see Xia Yao?"

The man turned pale with fright and shook his head vigorously.

A girl next to her was still calm at this moment, she said to the flustered Zhou Du: "When I just entered the classroom, I saw Xia Yao follow the English teacher to the office on the fifth floor."

Before the girl finished speaking, Zhou Du had already pushed away the crowd in front of him and ran towards the teaching building.

He ran against the flow of people towards the teaching building alone. There was an exclamation from the crowd. The proprietress turned her head and saw that her nose was almost crooked from anger.

"Zhou Du!!! Come back!!!" He yelled at Zhou Du's back.

Zhou Du rushed into the teaching building recklessly as if he hadn't heard anything.

Wang Hao saw Zhou Du running towards the teaching building like a lunatic, he was anxious and wanted to catch up, but Zhang Yang behind him grabbed him tightly.

"Let go of me!" Wang Hao yelled at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang didn't say a word, he just held onto Wang Hao tightly.

"Do you want to watch Zhou Du go to die!" Wang Hao struggled crazily, but Zhang Yang only said: "That's what he wants to do, but I won't let you go to die."

Wang Hao stared at Zhang Yang with teary eyes, and the proprietress yelled angrily, "Quiet me!"

Xia Yao said softly to the students in the other class: "Please give way." Then he walked slowly to the place where his class is.

As soon as Wang Hao saw Xia Yao, he quickly yelled at him: "Xia Yao, fuck you! Zhou Du went up to find you!"

Xia Yao was stunned for a while, seeing Wang Hao being dragged tightly by Zhang Yang, his eyes were already red.

After Zhou Du found out that Xia Yao was not in the teacher's office, he quickly ran downstairs to the classroom.

The siren "Ula Ula" above his head made him panic, but he was also very scared, he was afraid that the building would collapse in the next second before he found Xia Yao.

After Xia Yao came back to her senses, seeing Wang Hao's anxious look, she quickly walked to his side and explained, "Don't worry, this is just a drill."

Since the Wenchuan earthquake, all schools have paid more attention to earthquake drills.And this time it was an unannounced temporary escape drill.

The teachers had been notified a long time ago, so the proprietress came to the classroom early.And Xia Yao, who followed the English teacher to the office, was told the truth by the English teacher the moment the alarm sounded.

He ran downstairs with the English teacher and others. Xia Yao couldn't find his class for a while, and when he finally found it, he heard Wang Hao tell him the news.

Xia Yao raised his head and glanced in the direction of the teaching building with a complicated expression.

At this time, Zhou Du was still looking for Xia Yao in one empty classroom after another.

-

The principal of Middle School A is over 50 years old, bald, with a beer belly and no glasses.He pointed at Zhou Du with his fat finger, and said to Father Zhou who was standing aside: "Your son, ah! I don't know what he's got in his head!"

"Others knew that the earthquake was going to run downstairs, but he was fine. He ran upstairs alone. Tell me, what is going on in your mind!"

The proprietress also stood next to the principal, and said to the principal with a smile: "It's all my fault. I have given them too little earthquake prevention education. Don't worry, I will not only focus on studying in the future, but I will not relax when it comes to convenience."

"Don't be angry." Zhou Du's father smiled gently, but the principal didn't dare to get angry with Zhou Du's father. He turned his head and glared at the proprietress and said, "You, the head teacher, are also responsible. Didn't you say that you should enter the classroom early to organize things well?" A student? He was actually allowed to run upstairs."

The proprietress nodded repeatedly, not daring to refute the principal's words.

The principal then turned his head and said to Zhou Du with a straight face, "Tell me what you are going upstairs for."

Zhou Du pursed his lips and remained silent, Zhou's father frowned, and shouted in a deep voice: "Zhou Du."

Zhou Du paused for a while, and then reluctantly said: "Take something."

With a sound of "snap!", the headmaster slapped the solid wood desk with his plump hand. He probably hurt from the slap, his face changed, and he said angrily to Zhou Du, "What are you taking?" Something! What is more important than your life!"

Zhou Du bowed his head and was scolded in silence.

Only then did Zhou's father say to the principal: "Don't be angry, someday you have time, how about we find a chance to have a drink?"

Zhou Du's father was also a prominent figure in City H, the principal didn't dare to get angry with his father, seeing that Zhou Du's father gave him a step down, he waved Zhou Du out.

After Zhou Du returned to the class, Wang Hao just wanted to run up to him to fool him, but unexpectedly, the proprietress followed Zhou Du's buttocks and came over.

He raised his eyes and glanced at everyone in the classroom. Everyone lowered their heads and prepared to listen to the proprietress' lesson.

Unexpectedly, the proprietress just sighed and said: "Although today is just an earthquake drill, none of us knows when the real danger will really come. It is usually my negligence, the one I tell you the most every day." The first thing is to let you learn and learn, but never mentioned your safety education."

He glanced at Zhou Du who was sitting on the seat, and then said: "Zhou Du, you must learn the lesson from this time. The first thing you need to do when you encounter danger in the future is to ensure your own safety. Nothing is as important as your life, you know?" ?”

Xia Yao, who was sitting on the seat, couldn't help holding the ballpoint pen in her hand tightly when she heard the proprietress say this.

-

Zhou Du was picked up by his father ahead of time when he was leaving school.

Xia Yao packed up his things and prepared to leave when almost everyone in the classroom had left.Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Wang Hao as soon as he walked out of the classroom.

"Did you quarrel with Zhou Du?" Wang Hao cut straight to the point.

Xia Yao shook her head, not knowing how to explain it to Wang Hao.

Wang Hao didn't care either, the two of them just walked out of the school slowly.

"Do you think Zhou Du is quite stupid?" Wang Hao pretended to be unintentional and said, "Today I was really scared to death. I thought it was really an earthquake. Wenchuan will..."

Xia Yao stopped suddenly, he turned his head to look at Wang Hao and said to him: "Wang Hao, can I ask you something?"

Wang Hao was a little surprised, "What's the matter?"

"If this kind of thing is discovered again in the future, you must stop him for me."

Wang Hao knew who Xia Yao was talking about, he paused and said to Xia Yao: "Don't blame me for saying that, if I found out that Zhou Du was going to find you, I would definitely not let him go .”

Xia Yao nodded, and continued, "You did the right thing."

Wang Hao sighed and said: "But I guess I can't stop him. You didn't see it today. When he heard someone say that you haven't come down yet, he rushed up without saying a word."

"I don't know what kind of conflict you two had. Zhou Du has been feeling depressed for the past two days. Xia Yao, if he said something that made you angry, please forgive him. Zhou Du has been like this since he was a child, he won't say."

"I'm not angry with him." Xia Yao couldn't tell Wang Hao, he thought Zhou Du would never talk to him again after that day.

"It's good if you don't get angry, then you two make up quickly, I feel very uncomfortable seeing you two like this."

Xia Yao said "Mmm", they just walked outside the school, Wang Hao waved at Xia Yao, and the two parted ways on the spot.

At night Xia Yao's mother came home and said to Xia Yao: "This afternoon, Zhou Du's parents came to our house."

"Come to our house?"

Xia Yao's mother sat next to Xia Yao and said, "They said they wanted to invite the two of us to dinner tomorrow night, but they wouldn't listen no matter how I refused."

"Is it because of my bone marrow donation last time?"

"That's right." Xia Yao's mother raised her hand and stroked the messy hair around her ears, and then said: "Didn't Zhou Du's parents let him recognize me as a godmother that time in the ward? Zhou Du's mother said, She has been in confinement for a while, and she has no time to see us, so she is going to treat us to dinner, so that Zhou Du will officially recognize me as a godmother."

"Oh." Mama Xia sighed and said, "How can I be qualified to be Zhoudu's godmother, if it weren't for you..."

"Mom." Xia Yao interrupted her mother and said, "It's okay, since they invited us, it's okay for us to have a meal, otherwise they will always feel sorry. If you don't like being Zhou Du Godmother, we can also make it clear to them."

After hearing what her son said, Xia Yao's mother felt that it made sense, so she nodded.

-

Just after school the next afternoon, Zhou Du's father drove to the school directly.Xia Yao and Zhou Du were sitting in the back of the car. Zhou Du's father said to Xia Yao while driving, "Your mother is already at the restaurant. Zhou Du's mother is chatting with her. I came here to pick you up."

"Please trouble Uncle Zhou." Xia Yao politely thanked him.

"Thank you." Zhou Du's father smiled and said, "Our whole family should thank you very much. Really, I feel that our whole family is lucky to have you and Zhou Du as classmates."

"I also feel very lucky to know Zhou Du."

Zhou Du turned his head to look at Xia Yao in surprise, but Xia Yao didn't look at him, still staring ahead.

The car slowly stopped at the door of the hotel, and the people waiting at the door hurried forward to open the car door for them.

After Xia Yao entered the upstairs box, she heard her mother and Zhou Du's mother talking and laughing together.

"Oh, Yaoyao is here." Zhou Du's mother quickly stood up, pulled Xia Yao to sit between her and Xia Yao's mother, and then said to the waiter beside her, "The food can be served."

Zhou Du sat opposite to Xia Yao.

"Actually, it's time to visit you a long time ago, but you know the situation of my little daughter, big sister. I'm really embarrassed to delay seeing you until now." Zhou Du's mother said polite words to Xia Du Yao poured water.

"Auntie, no need." Xia Yao hastily reached out to take the teapot.

Father Zhou patted his son on the back and said, "My silly son, I don't even know how to say hello to my godmother when I come here."

Zhou Du had been secretly observing Xia Yao, seeing his father say this, he quickly stood up and shouted respectfully to Xia Yao's mother, "Godmother."

After he was about to sit down, Zhou Du's father spoke again: "I remember that Xia Yao seems to be a few months older than Zhou Du, Zhou Du, Xia Yao will be your brother in the future, do you know?"

Zhou Du glanced at Xia Yao and nodded.

"Okay." At this time, the dishes were all ready, and Zhou Du's mother greeted: "Eat first, if we have anything to say, let's talk after we finish."

Xia Yao was very quiet during the meal, and when everyone was full, Zhou Du's mother seemed to remember something, and said, "I forgot the gift for Xia Yao at home."

"Zhou Du." She called out to her son, and then said, "Why don't you take Xia Yao home to get it."

Zhou Du quickly stood up and said, "I'll just go get it myself."

Zhou's mother glared at her son bitterly.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yao also stood up and said, "I'll be with you."

Only then did Zhou's mother show a satisfied smile, she waved her hands and said to the two of them: "The gift is in your father's study, you two go quickly."

Then she turned her head and said to Xia's mother next to her: "Sister, can you go shopping with me after dinner later? You don't know, I have gained a lot of meat during the confinement period, and the clothes I used to wear can't do it at all." wore."

-

After Xia Yao and Zhou Du got off the taxi, the two headed to Zhou's villa together.

Zhou Du's back was tense, this was the first time the two of them were alone since he had a fight with Xia Yao, he was nervous and uneasy, he didn't know how to break the silence with Xia Yao.

Xia Yao looked at Zhou Du who was not looking at him, and suddenly stopped.

"Zhoudu."

Zhou Du quickly turned his head and looked at Xia Yao intently.

"Yesterday... thank you."

"I," Zhou Du clenched his fists, took a deep breath and looked at Xia Yao and said, "I apologize to you."

The orange street lamp hit the shoulders of the two teenagers, Xia Yao looked at Zhou Du quietly.

"I shouldn't scold you, I shouldn't lose my temper with you, and I shouldn't smash my phone."

"Xia Yao, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong. I've felt guilty for the past two days, and I'm afraid that you'll never talk to me again." A tall boy about 1.8 meters tall actually choked up as he spoke.

He sniffed and took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket.

Under the dim streetlight, Zhou Du slowly opened the piece of paper——

It was a self-criticism that Zhou Du had written for several nights.

After Zhou Du finished reading the self-criticism, Xia Yao felt sore and astringent in his heart.

In fact, he didn't blame Zhou Du for what happened that day, the first time he saw Zhou Du in the ice cream shop, he knew that Zhou Du must be angry.He was really sad after hearing what Zhou Du said to him later, but what he was more afraid of was that Zhou Du didn't like him anymore.

But Xia Yao thought about Zhou Du's flipping action yesterday for a long time after he went back, maybe in Zhou Du's heart, he is not so insignificant.

Seeing that Zhou Du was still looking down and doing something wrong, Xia Yao suddenly stretched out his hand to wrap around Zhou Du's neck, and kissed the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Du's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it.

Xia Yao kissed like a dragonfly and then let go.

Zhou Du looked at Xia Yao in a daze, and Xia Yao said shyly, "Let's go and get the gift."

"Okay, okay." Zhou Du's ears turned red all of a sudden.

After walking a few steps, Zhou Du suddenly asked, "Did you kiss me just now?" He seemed to have just realized it.

"Yeah." Xia Yao's face became hot when Zhou Du asked him so bluntly.

"Does this mean that you are not angry with me anymore?"

"Ah."

"Then, does what you said before still count?" Zhou Du turned his head and looked at Xia Yao helplessly.

"What?"

"That's right." Zhou Du said with some embarrassment: "Can I still kiss you when no one is around?" He looked at Xia Yao anxiously, afraid that the man would say no.

"Yes." Xia Yao whispered.

Zhou Du couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth.

Xia Yao slowed down, turned to look at Zhou Du and said, "Zhou Du, actually you don't need to care about Fang Zeyu at all, because I only like you." Whether it's this life or the previous life, I only like you.

Zhou Du stopped in front of Xia Yao, and he said aggrievedly: "You used to say on this road that you don't like me. You only attracted me because I had good grades and good looks. That Fang Zeyu, I don't know if his grades are good or not, but he's not ugly, and I'm afraid that when you meet someone better than me, you might look down on me."

What Xia Yao didn't know was that Zhou Du was also afraid that he would look down on him.

"Zhou Du." Xia Yao said awkwardly to Zhou Du: "There must be people who are better than you in the world, but they are not you. No matter how good they are, the only person I like is you, and I only like you."

Xia Yao's confession made Zhou Du feel hot in his heart, he couldn't help but hugged Xia Yao in his arms, and kept saying in his ear: "I like you too, I only like you, I love you too. I will never make you angry again."
