Tolerate

When Chi Muyun entered the room, Ling Suzhen and Chi Tianxiang were half leaning on the chairs, flipping through photo albums while wearing reading glasses.

The beautiful women and handsome men who used to be graceful are now gradually aging, their shoulders, neck, back, and back are not as straight and energetic as before, and the corners of their eyes and brows are also engraved with the traces of time.

Chi Muyun felt slightly sour in his heart.These days, she is only focused on work and sorting out her mood, and she hasn't chatted with her parents for a long time.

"Come on, Xiaoyun, look." The photo album in Ling Suzhen's hand is already very old, she pointed to a yellowed photo and said with a smile, "Seeing that you liked to play with the camera when you were five years old..."

Chi Tianxiang took a sip of tea and didn't speak.Chi Muyun sat beside his mother, looking at the photo album with her.

Chi Muyun has several photo albums from childhood to adulthood, almost recording every period of her growth.From the photos, it can be seen that Chi Muyun was an introverted and quiet child since he was a child, but occasionally there were times when he was "listen and bad"...

"When I took you back to the countryside, you stepped on dirty water in front of you, and you didn't tell me and your dad. When we stepped on it too, you looked back at us and smiled. You laughed so happily. Then You're making trouble..." Ling Suzhen shook her head and laughed.

Chi Muyun can't remember these "tricksters" anymore, but looking at the photos, he can't help but smile, and feels that if he is put in now, he should and may become a "bad boy" that everyone shouts and beats.

"I'm old... People tend to talk too much when they get old." Ling Suzhen flipped through the photos and sighed.

"No way." Chi Muyun said hastily, "You're not old, you're young."

"I'm old everywhere..." Ling Suzhen looked depressed, "Xiaoyun, I actually... want to tell you something. I originally planned not to tell you about this for the rest of my life, but... "

She took off her reading glasses and put them on the table, her fingers trembling slightly.Chi Tianxiang pressed her hand and patted her comfortingly twice.

Chi Muyun was taken aback for a moment, and his emotions surged.

She seemed to have a premonition that what her parents were going to tell her was what she was thinking...

On an ordinary morning this autumn—that is, a day when Lu Qingming had just entered college, Ling Suzhen received a phone call suddenly.

After hanging up the phone, she was in a lot of ups and downs, suffering unbearably.

The year they picked up Xiaoyun, their husband and wife had a discussion that they could not tell their daughter that she was not their biological daughter, and wanted to let her grow up happily.At the same time, they also registered detailed information with the public security organs, just in case Xiaoyun was not abandoned, but his parents were forced to separate from him for some special reasons.That way, if her parents look for her, they will be able to find her.

They really understood the pain of losing a child, so while treating Chi Muyun as if they were their own, they also paid attention to the news from there.

Ling Suzhen thought, where is her daughter?Is there someone who loves her and treats her well?

Thinking of this, she wanted to treat Xiaoyun well.This is not only to feel sorry for Xiaoyun's poor life experience, but also to relieve her of missing her daughter. At the same time, it is also to accumulate virtue for her daughter, hoping that she can grow up well.

Many years have passed, and Chi Muyun has grown up gradually. Ling Suzhen and his wife have never received any news, so they gradually forgot about it.

In the hearts of the husband and wife, Chi Muyun no longer has anything to do with their own biological or not, he is just the apple of their eye.

The Public Security Bureau said that because the age is too long, the information of those parents who are looking for relatives is also relatively vague, so it needs to be compared and confirmed slowly, and she will be notified when the result is out.

After several months of suffering and waiting, a couple was finally locked in there.

The couple described the child's gender, appearance, pattern of the blanket used to wrap it, the style and color of the clothes...they all corresponded.

It is said that the couple is a pair of honest farmers who live in the suburbs of a small county in Beijing North Province. On a Lantern Festival more than 20 years ago, they took the shuttle bus to the county town to watch the lights with their children in their arms.

As for how the child got to the countryside of Hongshan County thousands of miles away, there is no conclusion yet.

But everything has to be confirmed by a paternity test.

After Ling Suzhen finished speaking slowly, the family of three fell into a long silence.

I don't know how long it took before Chi Tianxiang said in a deep voice with red eyes, "Xiaoyun, it all depends on your thoughts. If you want to recognize your relatives, we will not stop you. No matter what, you are ours." daughter."

"I..." Chi Muyun suddenly stood up and bumped into the photo album next to him.The photo album fell to the ground with a "snap", and half of the old body, which was already vulnerable to a single blow, fell to the ground.

Chi Muyun quickly squatted down to pick up the photo album.

She thought she would cry and be overwhelmed, but she didn't. She calmly picked up the photo album, carefully inserted the scattered photos, and carefully put the photo album away.

"Dad, Mom." Chi Muyun's voice was also very calm, "I don't want to recognize my relatives."

Chi Tianxiang and Ling Suzhen were both stunned and looked at each other.Ling Suzhen wiped her eyes and said, "Xiaoyun...it's okay, you don't mind me and your dad, you have the right to see them."

"I really don't want to see you." Chi Muyun lowered his head and said softly.Ling Suzhen seemed to see the quiet and stubborn little girl back then.

Chi Muyun was not usually stubborn.

Seeing her daughter like this, Ling Suzhen felt very distressed, and kept saying, "Okay, okay, no...no. Then go back to sleep first? You've been tired all day, so let's talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do."

Chi Muyun returned to his room in a daze.The moment the door was closed, she seemed to see someone opening the door of Lu Qingming's room, as if seeing her, that person shrank back into the room abruptly.

Wearing teddy bear pajamas, with long straight shawl hair, is Koji.

It was so late, she hadn't slept yet, and she didn't know what she was doing sneakily.

Chi Muyun lowered his head and thought for a while, then touched the bracelet on his wrist.The cool and moist texture of the bracelet seemed to be ironed on her heart.

Chi Muyun walked to Lu Qingming's door, reached out and knocked on the door.

There was a rustling sound from inside, Lu Qingming opened the door, and whispered, "Yun, you haven't slept yet?"

Chi Muyun was slightly taken aback.Lu Qingming had seen her just now, but now he only pretended to see her.

"Just now... I chatted with your uncle and grandpa for a while." Chi Muyun said, with a pretended relaxed smile on his face, "Are you going to sleep?"

Lu Qingming scratched his hair, "Mmm... get ready."

Chi Muyun's red lips moved.The corridor lights were not turned on, and Lu Qingming had his back on the light again, so she didn't see the expression on Lu Qingming's face clearly.

She originally wanted to ask if she could chat with me for a while?

But Lu Qingming said that she was going to sleep...

Chi Muyun took a step back, and said softly, "Then go to sleep, it's late."

Lu Qingming stared at her blankly.For some reason, she felt that something was wrong with Chi Muyun... She came out of the shower just now, and when she heard the door opening in the corridor, she came out to take a look.

Because she kept thinking about what her uncle and grandpa would say to Chi Muyun, she was very restless, and accidentally put body lotion on her hair when taking a bath.

"Oh... well, then you should go to sleep too." Lu Qingming said hesitantly.

——She really wanted to ask, what did they tell you?

——Is it because of me that I have brought you a lot of trouble?

Chi Muyun didn't speak any more, turned around and left.The cotton slippers made no sound when they stepped on the carpet, Lu Qingming only saw a cold light flash on her wrist.

She stood there blankly, watching Chi Muyun open the door and go back to the room.

Chi Muyun closed the door and sighed.

I don't know if it's because she has known her life experience for a long time, or... maybe she is really starting to get old, and the flow of emotions is no longer as intense as before.

It was just a kind of dull pain, slowly grinding her in the heart.

She changed her clothes and took a bath as usual, and she didn't forget to put on a mask while soaking, and leaned on the bathtub to rest her eyes with her eyes closed.

Just when her mind was empty, there was a faint knock on the door outside.Chi Muyun was stunned for a moment, turned off the hot water, and listened intently to the movement outside.

"...Is it a small road?"

Judging from the rhythm of knocking on the door, it should be Xiaolu.

"Wait a minute." She was a little flustered, stood up and wiped her body hastily, and put on a bathrobe.She looked in the mirror, and the person in the mirror had wet hair and disheveled hair, with a pale mask on her face, which was really not beautiful under the pale light.

She quickly tore off the mask, threw it into the trash can, scooped up water and flushed her face a few times, then straightened her hair and promised, "...wait a minute."

She looked in the mirror again.

Oh, Xiaolu came here at this time, she felt that she was still in a mess.

She looked left and right, and saw a pink and white cat ear headband on the washstand, so she took it and put it on her head as if it were a living horse, so as to hold her hair up.

Open the door, it really is Lu Qingming.She tied her ponytail, put her hand into the pocket of her pajamas, and asked tentatively, "Can I go in?"

Chi Muyun should have just come out of the bathtub, carrying a body of fragrant water vapor, Lu Qingming shrugged his nose, and keenly caught the long-lost fragrance.

Chi Muyun clutched the chest of the bathrobe, turned sideways, and motioned for her to come in.

"Why... aren't you asleep?" Chi Muyun sat on the bed, pushed his hair to one side, and slowly wiped his hair with a towel, asking.

"Well... I..." Lu Qingming couldn't move his eyes away from her...

Her slightly raised eyes, long snow-white neck, and shiny fingertips...

"... Xiaolu?" Seeing that she hadn't answered for a long time, Chi Muyun asked, looking sideways at her.

Lu Qingming quickly withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes and looked at his toes and said, "Can I talk to you?"

Just now when Chi Muyun went to the door of her room, she wanted to say the same thing...Maybe she felt that her uncle's room was not far away, and she felt like a criminal.

... However, as soon as Chi Muyun returned to the room, she regretted it.

Even if she is a criminal, she still wants to talk to Chi Muyun.

Don't do anything, just talk...it should be nothing, right?
