Eros kisses Psyche

What should come will always come.On the day of the end-of-term report summary meeting, the parents were all beaming, and the kindergarten was decorated with lights and festoons.Early in the morning, the parents were assigned various activities, and the children were taken to another classroom to put on makeup—several mothers had already been waiting there, contributing their home cosmetics, and together with the teacher, they would paint each child All turned into a little Lingyun mole between the eyebrows, and two monkey buttocks on the face.

The bus ticket that Cheng Zhu had grabbed would not arrive until the afternoon, so Xu Budie specially adjusted the time for a day to take care of all the tasks assigned by these parents for him.Otherwise, the other children would be accompanied by family members, and Lele would feel much more uncomfortable.

Of course, he also has selfish intentions, that is, if Rong Wanqin appeared here today, he could have made preparations earlier, such as at least letting Lele's show finish smoothly, or telling Cheng Zhu to make him mentally prepare. Don't be too embarrassing in person.There is really no reason to prevent the mother from seeing her child, and besides, the child really wants his mother to see him... that can only be blocked by soldiers, and the water will be covered up.

The principal first made a simple speech, describing the teaching situation of this semester and the learning situation of the children, looking back at the past and looking forward to the future; the chattering below is like a sparrow meeting, not only the children are noisy, but also the adults Take the opportunity to chat with the parents and connect with each other.

Of course, there are definitely more women than men, and the united front is formed from the grandma generation to the mother generation, and the father and grandpa who hang around in it seem weak, pitiful and helpless.

It is obvious that Cheng Zhu usually has no time or interest in participating in such activities, but this is the first time for Xiao Xu to come. Many parents have never even seen Cheng Zhu, let alone him. Swallow him alive.

Someone simply asked directly: "You can't be Cheng Shuo's father... You're too young!"

Xu Budie blushed, and quickly shook his head: "No, no! I'm a...relative of his family, just treat me as Brother Lele..."

Everyone laughed, and a few far-sighted aunts put their hands on their hips and declared very firmly: "I'll just say it! If you become a father at such a young age, it's okay!"

Xu Budie had no choice but to forcefully explain: "No, I just look younger, and I'm not that young..."

"Are you married?"

"……No……"

"What about a girlfriend? You always have a girlfriend! It doesn't matter if you don't have one, I can introduce you..."

"..."

After going back and forth like this, I became friends with many parents. After putting up window grilles, hanging lanterns and making dumplings together, the atmosphere was completely harmonious. Xu Budie was diligent and good at putting on a standard and lovable face to communicate with everyone Dealing with each other, he has been familiar with everything inside and out in a short while.

There are also people who dislike him, that is, the parents of the children who were criticized and apologized for encouraging Lele to sneak out of the kindergarten, but the children are forgetful and have no estrangement with Lele; I stabbed a few words without pain, gossiped about the divorce at home, it is irresponsible for parents not to come for such a big matter, what job can be more important than our own children, you see we all quit our jobs and take care of our children at home ... You can't make people shut up about clichés like this.

Fortunately, Xiao Xu is now acting as a "distant relative". No matter how much you gossip, it's nothing to do with him. He can even gossip with you with a smile on his face; , The performances of each class began in the afternoon. He and Teacher Xiao Wang passed the air, and it seemed that "the lady" had no signs of haunting, and they were secretly relieved.

Because it is the end of the year party, parents came to help again, and the Eight Immortals crossed the sea to show their magic powers. This lunch is very rich, not to mention fried chicken, there are also potato grids and pizza. The table is a combination of Chinese and Western. Dumplings must be the same thing, but Lele seemed to have no appetite. With two monkey buttocks and fiery red lips on his face, he seemed very restless and didn't even eat much.

"What's wrong with Lele, are you nervous?"

Lele stopped talking again, but his fidgeting was obvious. Even if he reached out to hug him, he could feel that he was struggling and would look out, as if he was trying to find something and was disappointed again and again.After a while, their little swan dance was the third show on stage, and if this continued, he would definitely freeze on the stage again.

"Your dad will be here in a while, he's already in the car, so he must be in time," Xu Budie moved Cheng Zhu out, but it didn't work, so he whispered, "I guess, Lele actually wants to see her mother, right? "

Lele immediately looked at him in surprise, as if wondering how he knew.

"You called her and she promised you would come, didn't she?"

The little fat man couldn't bear it all at once, and two bags of tears immediately filled his eyes.

"Then let me tell you a secret quietly..." Xu Budie comforted him, and deliberately whispered to him, "She has already come, and she deliberately hid because she wanted to surprise Lele."

Lele looked at him suspiciously, but it was obvious that his mood had stabilized, and he was finally able to concentrate, not as dazed as before.Xu Budie took the opportunity to continue: "Besides, just like Lele is very nervous now, Lele's mother is also very nervous."

"She is also looking forward to seeing Lele perform on stage. But she is also very afraid that if she tells you, Lele will not be able to perform well because of her relationship."

"So, Lele, go to the backstage with Teacher Xiao Wang to prepare carefully? As long as you are doing well as usual, I guarantee that she will be watching you when you come on stage. Lele has worked so hard to prepare for so long. I want to show her, see how good our Lele has become now, right?" While whispering in his heart, I'm sorry, Lao Cheng, but your privilege has to be temporarily gone.

The child was still easy to coax, so he immediately resurrected on the spot to find Teacher Xiao Wang, holding her skirt tightly, for fear that she would regret not taking him up——Teacher Xiao Wang said so in a fit of anger.

Xu Budie sighed, and turned around when the parents were all flocking to the auditorium, looked around the classrooms, but did not see anyone else; when he was about to go back with a sigh of relief, he saw standing in the distance Outside the school gate, there was a well-dressed woman walking back and forth in the cold wind.Her eyebrows drooped like flowing water.

When he saw her, Xiao Xu's mind went blank for a moment: it wasn't because of how beautiful she was, or any other jealous plot, but because she was shocked by a very simple idea - Lao Cheng, cow Forced.

Because it's like, it's so like.Like a stone came to life.

At first, he thought that Jing Jianian and the others were making a fuss, or that the campus legends could not be true; after all, Lao Cheng donated a sculpture to the school, and the sculpture was not realistic except that it was a person and a woman. I don't even understand, how can I fill my brain with a drama of deep love and lifelessness?When he was in University A, he detoured to see that sculpture several times intentionally or unintentionally, but you said it symbolized any woman who walked by in the university.It doesn't even look beautiful or ugly, it's more like a frozen memory or consciousness.He felt sorry for Cheng Zhu in his heart - so why did everyone insist that she was Rong Wanqin?Could it be that any female image carved by Cheng Zhu's men in this life must be linked to this inescapable past?

But now, just seeing the woman's true face at a glance, I can understand what is "like" and what is "freehand brushwork without shape"; How insightful is it that you don’t need any external characteristics to express it, so that even strangers can directly understand that this person is you, not someone else, and there is no second person in the world who can replace you.If you compare it to martial arts, this is "there is no sword in your hand and there is a sword in your heart"; if you change it to poetry and poetry, it is "to be romantic without using a single word".

That is the love that comes out with one knife, one knife, one axe. If the word "love" can be seen and touched, it should look like that sculpture, a love poem dedicated to one person.

A turbulent emotion surged in his chest, and swept his whole body almost instantly, including excitement, trembling, pride, frustration, and jealousy with a sour taste.At that moment, Xu Budie wanted to know: How many works with his wife as the model have he sculpted?Has he carved other women, and do those sculptures have souls in this way?Does he also need a model when he creates?How would those models stand opposite him, what kind of eyes would he look at them, and what kind of touch would he shape them?

The cold wind blew shiveringly, pulling Xiao Xu back to reality from boundless emotions.One deliberately waited at the door and lingered, and the other hurried on in the car without noticing. Just now Cheng Zhu sent him a message, complaining that the road was a bit congested.If things continued like this, they might just bump into each other at the school gate. No one knew what would happen, and Lele's performance was about to begin.He even had a vague feeling that maybe Rong Wanqin didn't really come to see Lele, she was looking for an excuse to create an opportunity, and what she wanted to see was Cheng Zhu.

At this moment, Xu Budie actually felt that he was very calm, as if all his actions had been carefully planned, but in fact, he seemed to have returned to that moment and pulled out another self.He saw himself trotting to the guard's room, greeted the guard who had become familiar with him these days, rubbed his hands in fear of the cold, and walked outside through the electric retractable door just opened, wearing that lovely smile Appearance, walked towards the lady.

"Excuse me, are you...Cheng Shuo's mother?"

The woman seemed startled, and turned her head to look over.In her eyes, there was a handsome big boy who seemed to be very popular with children. He seemed to be in a hurry without a coat, and he seemed to have come out of the room. He was only wearing an apron messily smeared with children's paint, and there was a The aroma of sesame oil—it was when Xu Budie was busy helping with the cooking, he took the extra old apron from the painting class teacher in the classroom, with the school LOGO on it; although it was messy, it was worn on him, at this time But it seems to have a kind of gentle temperament.Because of participating in the event, a kindergarten commemorative sticker was affixed to the shoulder.

She was stunned, and naturally regarded him as the school's kindergarten teacher, and smiled: "I am. You are..."

"Ah, my surname is Xu. That's great, then come in quickly, and I'll take you to the backstage," the big boy laughed, as if he was relieved, "Lele is about to die of anxiety, it's too much trouble, say you I will definitely come, I must wait for you to come before I am willing to perform, the show will be here soon, we are really helpless, so many parents are waiting below."

"Ah, sorry..." She subconsciously looked at the distance of the street, then turned back, "Can I go in? I just wanted to go in and was blocked because I was not on the contact list."

She didn't seem to have the kind of unreasonable and viciousness described by Teacher Xiao Wang at all, and she didn't even have a dispute with the security guards, which made people very surprised and even began to doubt the authenticity of the rumors.

"It doesn't matter. They don't know the specific problem. They can understand the special situation..." Xiao Xu shrank from the cold wind, and smiled flatteringly, "Let's go in and talk about it?"

When Cheng Zhu arrived, the program had just started. After a program of poetry recitation and interesting English, it was the turn of Lele and the little swans in their class. They said it was dancing, but in fact it was just a group of dolls walking around on the stage. Rolling around, sometimes lined up in a herringbone shape, sometimes in a line shape, a group of cute parents, the flashing lights kept flashing, and the video and video were all arranged, leaving them with a dark history that they would like to destroy when they grow up.

He came a little late, guessing that Xiao Xu would help in the background, so he didn't bother him, and found a place to sit down by himself.

As for Lele, Cheng Zhu didn't intend to show expectations beyond his usual state, so as not to put any extra pressure on him.Whether he can do it or not, he will be in a very normal state.

After all, this is the first step that child has tried to take by himself since that day.

At first, Cheng Zhu didn't take much care of Lele's affairs, he naturally felt that it was the responsibility of his wife and teacher.Since the school has arranged a program, it is better to be on the program; since the wife thinks he is not suitable for acting, then it is better not to go.How big is it?At that time, I didn't think about it on a deeper level at all, and I didn't think about it for them, which caused more serious consequences.

Lele's symptoms obviously intensified after that unsuccessful performance.He was originally introverted and afraid of public places and the gaze of strangers, but it can be said that it has become worse since then, and basically he can't participate at all.According to Dr. Qu's explanation later, it was not so much that he was stressed by the pressure of the public environment, but rather that he was stressed by his mother's overreaction. Just like the subsequent illness, it was a child who hurt himself The way to try to appease and protect the mother.

Cheng Zhu still remembered what the doctor said to him:

"Lele's problem, in the final analysis, lies in her, which is caused by her emotional radiation and influence on the child; and her problem, in the final analysis, lies in you."

The program of Lele's class was on, and Lele was arranged in the back row, standing next to Teacher Xiao Wang.He was really numb at the beginning, almost stiff. When the first few notes sounded, he seemed to have no reaction at all. Everyone else was moving, but he didn't move; until the end of the first beat, when he was dancing in circles I was bumped by another child, and jumped up as if the setting program had been turned on suddenly, as if I had flipped a switch.

Only then did Cheng Zhu feel his heart shaking violently, and he almost stopped breathing just now; belatedly, he took out his mobile phone and fumbled several times before opening the camera lens.

He didn't plan to record it at first, if Lele didn't dance, he wouldn't record it.

At first there were people gossiping around, look, it was that little fat man, it was the same as the previous time, he seemed to have something wrong... But when he also tried his best to move his clumsy body, the gossip and gossip beside him also stopped.The dance moves are actually very simple, and there are a lot of repeated measures, but Lele only follows his beat, does not follow the rhythm of the people next to him, and does not skip the small beats he missed at the beginning. He stood up and squatted down when others stood up, so he still looked out of place, but he also stood out.Some children were gradually chaotic by him, and gradually became uncontrollable. A group of goslings paddled in a row and turned into whack-a-mole, with uneven heads popping up everywhere.The parents down there had long since laughed, and Teacher Xiao Wang had no choice but to stand up and lead the dance from the middle.

Xiao Xu led Rong Wanqin to the small lounge next to the stage, and poured her a glass of water.

"Before I go to see Lele, can I have a chat with you alone?"

Rong Wanqin paused, and an extremely sharp expression flashed across her soft face. "Is there anything you can't talk about later?"

"Sorry, just a little delay," Xu Budie quickly explained, "I just want to talk to you alone." He glanced out, "There is still time until Lele's show starts, you don't have to I'm worried, he's fine, and he didn't make a fuss, I was the one talking nonsense just now. He's been looking forward to this performance for a long time, and I want him to get on stage smoothly."

"Is it because of the previous incident?" She didn't hide it, and simply said, "I was sick at the time, my state was unstable, and I couldn't control my emotions. Now I'm basically fine."

Get ill……?

The music of the show was already on.The host is here.

Xu Budie said: "This time Lele took the initiative to ask to participate. He has improved a lot than before. This is an opportunity. As long as he overcomes the past, maybe he will no longer have to be afraid of these things in the future. I hope that no matter what the result is , don’t blame him. He really prepared this show very seriously and mustered up a lot of courage...just to prove to you that he can do it. I also believe that he can do it. Every day he If you practice all the time, even if your brain is blank, you can finish the performance smoothly with your body memory alone."

Rong Wanqin was noncommittal, but just looked at the young man in front of him: "Now the teacher is so understanding and responsible, Xu... Teacher?"

Xu Budie didn't have such a thick skin after all, so he didn't continue to pretend: "I'm not actually a teacher, I'm Lele's friend."

She briefly looked at the young man again, without expressing too much expression, and asked straightforwardly, "What's your relationship with Cheng Zhu?"

Xu Budie's face burned, and then he realized that the other party's question had no other meaning, because it must be related to him to be able to participate in Lele's school activities on behalf of Cheng Zhu.

"I'm his...student."

Rong Wanqin smiled. "Now I don't even bother to save face, and even the students are called to help him take care of the children?"

"No... Teacher Cheng should be here in a while, maybe he has arrived now, he came back from other places." Xu Budie hastily explained, smiling bitterly in his heart: I want to talk to her, why is it the other way around? she is asking me?

"If you want to say that, I came back from abroad on purpose." Rong Wanqin said coldly, without waiting for the other party's opinion, she stood up straight, bypassed Xu Budie and walked out: "I can go to the theater Are you happy?"

"Maybe you came back from abroad...but did you really come back for Lele?" Xiao Xu couldn't help it at last, and asked her back, "Then why have you never been here for so long? Haven't you seen him, or even cared about him once?"

The person who had already gone out suddenly turned around and came back with a sudden laugh,

"That's what Cheng Zhu wants to ask, right? Is he deliberately shirking responsibility? Talking as if he cared? I just let him go through what I went through, not even half of the pain I went through. Come on! He can't take it anymore? Who are you? You are his lawyer, right? Are you trying to trick me? Do you have recording equipment on you? "

"...Ah? No..." Xiao Xu was stunned by her question all of a sudden. What's the matter with this pressing tone?Wasn't it fine just now?Before he could turn his head around, someone had already jumped over and pulled the pocket on his apron, as if thinking that the pen stuck in it was a recording pen.Xu Budie blocked it subconsciously, was pushed hard, hit the corner of the table behind him, and hissed in pain.

She completed the transition from calm and graceful to hysterical almost instantly:

"That's his son! It's what he wanted, why is it all on me? Why do everyone blame me?! It seems that I deliberately made my son like that!!...Look for yourself! Don't you have eyes? How does that kid look like me? I tried my best to teach him, and I obviously tried my best to make him like me...but he couldn’t learn no matter what, and he didn’t look like me no matter what! He was not my child, I didn’t I didn't want a child...he came to torture me!"

Xu Budie was completely stunned, never thinking that such a fierce resistance would erupt out of nowhere in this seemingly frail body just because of a single sentence.

wow——

Fortunately, the applause at the end of the show sounded outside, covering up her almost-modified voice inside.

She paused for a second or two as if she had cast a fixed spell, and suddenly seemed to have realized her gaffe, her chest was still heaving violently, but she straightened up suddenly, her flushed face faded into pale pink, and her expression was almost distorted and cracked Gradually returning to its original shape, one hand brushed the hair on the forehead and looked away.

"...Ah, sorry."
