First sight

Bo Liang had a dream.

"1, 2, 3..." Bao Liang covered her eyes and giggled as she counted the numbers. After a while, she asked loudly, "Have you hidden it?"

"Okay!" She heard a childish voice coming from somewhere in the room and replied crisply.

She couldn't help laughing, so the hiding place will be exposed, silly boy.Even so, she still pretended not to hear, and shouted loudly: "Hide it well, I'm here to find you!"

"Hee hee hee..." Although the child tried his best to suppress his laughter, Bao Liang's keen ears caught it.

"Here we come..." Bo Liang pretended to be vicious and rushed towards the child's hiding place, making the child gasp from laughter. "Help, help..." He rolled down on the floor, begging for mercy while clutching his stomach.

"Hahahaha..." Seeing his cute little nose wrinkled up, Bao Liang couldn't help pinching it.The child raised his eyes, saw the person walking into the room, immediately rushed over with a smile, and shouted: "Dad!"

Chen Dingxian touched his hair, hugged him and asked, "Do you like her?"

Bo Liang was already speechless by the word "Dad" in the child's mouth.She stood up slowly, looked at Chen Dingxian suspiciously: "I thought he belonged to your housekeeper..."

"He is indeed my housekeeper's nominal child." Chen Dingxian kissed the child's porcelain-like face again, "If people outside know that I have a son, then he will always be in danger."

"I'm sorry." Bo Liang's mind flicked through countless answers, and finally she chose her original reaction.Facing a child who couldn't become father and son with her biological father, she felt more and more pity.

"Go and play." Chen Dingxian put the child down and patted his head, "I'll come up and paint with you later."

"Okay, Dad." The child replied obediently, and followed the housekeeper upstairs.

"How old is he?" Bo Liang turned to ask when he saw him go upstairs.

"Two years old."

"Where's his mother?"

"It was my girlfriend, and then died."

"You love her?" Bao Liang didn't even realize the jealousy in her tone.

"No, Se, you should know that no one will pass you by in my heart." Chen Dingxian laughed mischievously when she saw her nervousness. "I'm getting older and she happens to be pregnant. That's all."

Bao Liang frowned nervously at him, but he found it funny: "Linse, would you like to be Troy's mother?"

"Mother?" Bao Liang just looked at him and murmured in a low voice, instead of stepping up to hug him and being intimate as usual. "No, I can not."

"Can't?" Chen Dingxian raised his eyebrows, "You mean, you can't do it?"

"I can't." Bao Liang just looked at him fixedly.She has already deceived a sincere person, and she can no longer deceive an innocent child who is willing to call her mother.

"Lin Se, what are you worried about?" Chen Dingxian's face was expressionless, making Bao Liang uncertain about his heart. "I would like to share with you a secret that only the two of us know. What are you still worried about?"

"I..." Bao Liang found himself unable to argue.That's right, he took out his heart and showed it to her, why is she still hesitating?

In this world, enjoy the moment and enjoy yourself in time.

The pain in Bao Liang's heart only lasted for a minute, and when she opened her eyes, she was already clear and determined.

"Chen Dingxian, we will have our children in the future, and now, I am willing to be his mother."

Chen Dingxian's smile became more gentle, and he stepped forward to hug Bao Liang.At this moment, Linse in his arms is real.Only Bao Liang knew how many lies Lin Se, who was about to disappoint him, had told and would die in the near future.

"What are you going to do?" Mo Ye's voice on the phone was extremely impatient.He seemed to be vaguely aware of something, but he didn't have the courage to pierce it. "Bo Liang, you always say wait, wait, you've been with him for three and a half months, I don't believe you didn't get anything! Bao Liang, don't let us underestimate your ability!"

"Mo Ye..." Bao Liang hesitated for a moment, but still struggled to tell the secret to the captain he respected the most, "Chen Dingxian, he has a son."

Mo Ye was quiet for a while, only the sound of his slow but not urgent breathing was heard.Bao Liang could even imagine the serious expression on his face.

"Who is his mother?" he finally asked aloud.

"Chen Dingxian said she was dead." Bao Liang replied.

"Well, his son doesn't necessarily know any of his secrets. Chen Dingxian, even though he's out there in a bloody and unscrupulous manner, will never let his beloved child know all the dirty things at home. But you should also have a good relationship with his child , It is usually a bargaining chip, but when necessary, it becomes a trump card." Mo Ye analyzed calmly.

Bao Liang responded, "I understand. But, the child is innocent after all."

"Use him to get what you want. Bo Liang, I know you will do the right thing." After Mo Ye said this meaningfully, he hung up the phone.

Bao Liang stood in a daze for a long time.I just feel that these few months have seemed like a lifetime, making her tired and old quickly.It's just me, I'm still willing to get tired of being here, I only hope for a longer time, and a longer time.

It is already December, and because of Ireland's maritime climate, the weather in winter months is mild and cold.Although Bao Liang has always been afraid of the cold, but here, when the fire is lit in the fireplace, he feels warm.Only a few times, when Bao Liang took Troy out to play, she thought she would not be cold, so she forgot to wear an extra cashmere coat, and ended up shivering in the cold. Troy is very obedient, seeing that she is cold, he will trot to catch up with her and get indoors as soon as possible.

In the blink of an eye, it was Christmas Eve, and Troy's third birthday arrived.He was well protected by Chen Dingxian, and he didn't have any childhood playmates, so Bo Liang was pulled by Chen Dingxian to come up with ideas for his birthday celebration.

At that time, Mo Ye called again to urge him.Bao Liang thought for a while and couldn't think of an excuse to escape, so he blurted out: "I'll lure them away, you come in and look for them."

She couldn't do this kind of thing by herself.

She thought that Mo Ye would give her an education, but she just sighed and agreed.

Therefore, to this day, she is still grateful to Mo Ye.

During dinner, Bo Liang was thinking about how to ask Chen Dingxian and Troy to go on vacation with him, but Troy spoke first: "Daddy, shall we go to a warm place for vacation?"

"Aren't you always afraid of the cold?" Chen Dingxian looked at him slightly strangely.

"Mom seems to be scared." Troy replied obediently.His round eyes are clear and bright, with the power that Bao Liang can't bear to hurt.

"Oh?" Chen Dingxian laughed in surprise, his eyes swept over with a playful smile, as if he was praising Bao Liang for buying Troy's heart so quickly.Bao Liang didn't realize for a while that his thoughts were put on the agenda so quickly.

"Where do you want to go?" Chen Dingxian asked casually while gracefully using the fork in his hand: "Santorini? Whitson Islands? Reunion? Or Palau?"

By accident, Bao Liang heard herself saying, "Let's go to Long Beach."

Boracay, that's where she ended and where it all started.

Chen Dingxian laughed softly: "It doesn't cost much to have the softest white sand beach. It's a rare opportunity, Arthur, you really don't want to hit me hard?"

At this time, Bao Liang was very restless, and couldn't force himself to smile.Chen Dingxian saw her emotional fluctuations and asked, "Arthur, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Bao Liang tried her best to pull the corners of her lips, wanting to continue eating as if nothing had happened.

"Lin Se——" Chen Dingxian called her name suddenly, earnestly and firmly, with a long ending: "You should know that you can't hide anything from me."

Only now did Bao Liang realize that he had lost his composure a bit too much.

She saw Troy looking at her with concern, thought for a while and said, "Troy, is your meal ready? I'll talk to your dad."

"Okay, Mom." Troy wiped his hands obediently, jumped off the chair and ran back to his room.

Bao Liang's head turned quickly, eager to find a reason to dispel Chen Dingxian's suspicion, beads of sweat dripped from his temples under the warmth of the fireplace.Chen Dingxian was not in a hurry either, he just took a sip of the wine, waiting for her confession.

"Tingxian, I actually lied to you."

After a long while, Bao Liang looked at the direction in which Troy disappeared, and seemed sure that he was no longer there, so he slowly opened his mouth.

Chen Dingxian did not speak, but slowly wiped the corners of his lips with a napkin, and then slowly put down the napkin.He didn't say a word, but the domineering and anger exuded from his body could be seen.

Bao Liang knew that because his parents left since he was a child, he couldn't bear others' betrayal and deception the most.

"You know, my mother left me and my father shortly after I was born. Later, when I was six years old, my father also left me, and I don't know where they went. But...but...I lied to you... ..." Bo Liang said softly, "My father is in Long Beach."

"Let's go find him." Bo Liang lowered his head, and Chen Dingxian's slender and beautiful hands suddenly appeared in his sight.He held her hands lightly, with a soothing voice, and repeated word by word: "Let's go find him."

"No need." Bao Liang smiled wryly.Her father had long been buried on that warm island, and his soul would never return to his hometown. "He is dead."

Chen Dingxian was slightly taken aback, but didn't answer, Bao Liang continued: "I will never forgive him."

Yes, she will never forgive him.He would never forgive him for swallowing a whole bottle of sleeping pills that afternoon when his mind was suddenly clear, and even neglecting his own little daughter, cruelly preventing her from seeing him for the last time, and just passing away irresponsibly.

How much she wanted to tell him that no matter how bad he got, she would be by his side; no matter what decision he made, she would respect him.

Unexpectedly, he left forever without making a sound like this.It made her feel like an outsider, watching her father go away, and never looking back.

He should know how afraid she is of leaving without saying goodbye.

She is not a selfish person, but her father is.

Many times, Bo Liang hoped that she would not know about her father.In this way, she could at least lie to herself that he was still alive, in that always sunny place.

Her downcast eyes suddenly filled with tears.Chen Dingxian stood up silently, holding her face in his arms.

Afterwards, Bao Liang always believed that it was God's last pity for her.Without hiding anything, he lent Chen Dingxian to her for ten days without reservation.

They flew directly to Kalibo International Airport by private plane, and then, like all ordinary families, took a car to the pier and were carried by a crab boat to the beautiful island.

Han Lian had already helped them book the best Westcove Hotel on the island. The room was built on the reef cliff at the junction of the east coast and the west coast. Surfing with a parachute.Bo Liang lay on the window sill and looked at these two completely different pictures, suddenly feeling terrified.She just walks in such a place, deep and shallow, full of dangers, and only she knows the love, hatred, and thrills in it.If you take one wrong step, you will be doomed.

Or, she was already beyond redemption.

"Wife, what are you thinking?" Chen Dingxian wrapped her long fingers around her waist, the cold fingertips made her calm down slowly.There was a teasing and cheerful taste in his voice, just like the gesture when they first met that day.

"There," Bao Liang pointed lightly towards a secluded stone cave on the east coast, "that's where I saw my father for the last time. Later, I scattered his ashes there."

"Let him search for my mother all over the world."

Chen Dingxian didn't say a word, and suddenly bowed seriously towards the cave.

Bao Liang heard him whisper, "Thank you for bringing Lin Se to my side."

In this way, Bao Liang broke down in tears amidst his gentle gratitude.

Chen Dingxian looked up at her with fiery and firm eyes, and suddenly asked: "If one day, you also leave me, what do you think I will do?"

Bo Liang wiped away her tears and shook her head.

"I must cherish my life more than ever. I will definitely find you and ask you why you left me. Then, I will take you home."

Bo Liang nodded stiffly and said, "How could that be?"

How could there be that day, when Lin Se was already dead.

But Chen Dingxian suddenly dissipated the oppressive feeling around him, and gently hugged Bao Liang, letting her lean on his shoulder.

In the evening, they went for a walk on the white sand beach, and met local children who made sand sculpture castles filled with white candles.The evening was sinking, and the tropical sky was covered with a lavender mist, and the stars twinkled brightly in the setting sun.The infinite afterglow spreads out one foot at a time, reflecting the romantic castle by the sea, which is almost a fairytale-like beautiful mood.

Bao Liang couldn't help exclaiming in praise, Chen Dingxian had already learned that she had tipped those children kindly, asking them to help her take a photo with Bao Liang.

The sun disappeared on the other side of the sea, he hugged her, behind him was the vast sky and the endless galaxy.The waves rolled around their ankles, both he and she had calm smiles on their lips, and their hair was lingering in the sea breeze.The gulls returned to their nests, the tide receded, but they already owned the whole world.

As if being overwhelmed by their radiance for a moment, all the sky light converged back at once.

That's the only photo of them together.
