You were the one who wanted to separate

Chapter 54

This year's winter seems to come a little later, it has already entered November, and it has not snowed yet.In the eyes of Zhou Sheng, a native of the Northeast, no matter how low the temperature becomes, winter still starts from the day when the snow falls.

But he also had to admit that the weather was really cold. He breathed warm air on his hands, waved at Mu Yu and Xiu Qi, watched them get in the car and started the car before he opened his car door .As soon as he got into the car, the mobile phone in his pocket rang. He took out the phone and glanced at it. His expression softened a little, and he pressed to answer.

The part of the phone was a gentle female voice: "Have you finished your meal?"

"Well, I'm done eating, and I'm about to go back. I'll be home in about four or ten minutes. If you're tired, go to bed early." Zhou Sheng said softly.

"Sleeping for a long time during the day, I'm still not sleepy, chat with my mother and wait for you to come back. It's getting dark, so take your time on the road." The other side of the phone instructed.

Zhou Sheng smiled slightly: "Don't worry."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Sheng fastened his seat belt and started the car.He has become more and more used to the current life, a gentle and kind wife who cares meticulously every day, and soon he will have a lovely child. If he hadn't met that person many years ago, maybe at this age, this is the life he expected.

Plain as water, but calm.

Since the wedding, he has buried that person's name and that memory that seems to be a long time ago deeply in his mind. He has his own family, and in his later life, he will love another person who never The person who expected to be responsible will be responsible, and the old time that he thought he would remember for life will gradually fade away with the time and the daily necessities of life.

Maybe many years later, when they are old enough to only remember that they were with one person when they were teenagers, on the street or in a random place, they can meet again, and all the love-hate entanglement at that time, He disappeared a long time ago, and he would probably be able to smile at that person calmly and say, "Hello."

There are always regrets in the world. In the past eight years, he has said this sentence to himself over and over again.At the very beginning, he still had a little hope, so he told himself that even though they had been separated, and although there were some regrets in the years they missed, there would still be a future for them.But now he can only tell himself that although he lost the person he once loved the most, since then, he has another life.

Although seeing Mu Yu and Xiu Qi made him feel a little bit tonight, the time on this journey was enough for him to consume this feeling, and when he got home, everything would be back to normal, as if nothing had happened.

When he got home, there was a dim light in the living room. Zhou Sheng saw his wife was leaning on the sofa watching TV. The volume of the TV was reduced to the lowest level, so she concentrated all her attention.It wasn't until the anti-theft door was opened that she came back to her senses and looked back at the door in surprise. A smile appeared on her lips immediately, and she lowered her voice and said, "You're back?"

Zhou Sheng nodded, looked back at the second bedroom, and said softly, "Mom is asleep?"

"Well, I'm tired after talking." Mentioning Zhou Sheng's mother, she still had a hint of worry in her eyes, but she still smiled, "You're tired from driving, go take a bath, I'll cook a bowl of noodles for you .”

Zhou Sheng patted her hand lightly, and said softly, "I've eaten a lot at night and I'm not hungry now, so go to bed first, I'll go to sleep after taking a shower."

The wife didn't have any objection: "That's good."

Zhou Sheng took a shower, and the warm water washed away the chill outside, and also took away the last turmoil in his heart. When he returned to the bedroom, his wife was already curled up on the bed and fell asleep.The child's month is getting older, she is working hard every day, and sometimes she is not very energetic, but she always waits for him to come back.Zhou Sheng reached out and touched her stomach lightly, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and turned off the bedside lamp with his hand.

Another day passed.

Zhou Sheng has always been very aware of his mother's condition, and also knew that the day when she left was getting closer, but when it really came, he still felt caught off guard.

He was woken up from his sleep. Someone was banging on their door. He sat up in a jerk, glanced at his wife who had just woken up next to him, patted her on the shoulder comfortingly, and hurriedly got down. The bed opens.

It was his father who knocked on the door, a little old man who was always taciturn but stubborn as hell in the past. At this moment, his head was already dripping with sweat, and his always stern face showed obvious fear and anxiety.As soon as the door opened, he grabbed Zhou Sheng's hand and said incoherently: "Your mother, your mother is dying, you should go and see her, she must want to see you."

Zhou Sheng was at a loss for a moment, and before he could recover, he was almost staggered by the little old man, and he quickly stood up and followed into the second bedroom.

His mother was lying in the middle of the big bed. Her once young and beautiful face had already become sluggish under the double torment of years and illness. When Zhou Sheng came over, she raised her hand, but found that even this small movement was futile.Fortunately, Zhou Sheng understood her intention in time, rushed over in two steps, and held her hand.

She let out a long breath, as if she had fulfilled her wish.Her hands trembled slightly, and she looked at her only son for a long time before she said with difficulty: "Son, can you forgive mom for letting you marry someone you don't like in the end?"

"Mom, I'm doing well now, and I've never regretted getting married."

Zhou Sheng smiled slightly, and shook his head without hesitation.He never blamed anyone for this matter. Marriage was his own choice, and no one could force him.If the time was pushed back two years, Zhou Sheng, who still had a little strength to persevere at that time, would not compromise even if it was his mother's dying wish.

But now, he has compromised, and a bigger part of the reason is that he can't hold on anymore.They have tortured each other for eight full years. At the beginning, it was just the paranoid person who didn't want to turn back. Later, their feelings were exhausted little by little. Both of them actually knew that they had no chance to turn back.

His mother's wish only gave them a relief. He could finally let go frankly and give each other a chance to start a new life. relieved.

The mother vigorously raised her head and looked at Zhou Sheng's expression, as if to confirm whether he was lying to appease her. When she found out that his eyes were indeed open, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile slowly appeared on her pale face. A small smile: "I'm relieved like this. It's just that I still don't have the blessing to look at my grandson before he dies." She gently patted Zhou Sheng's hand, "Son, you must take care of him." Be yourself."

This woman who had been suffering from illness for a long time finally closed her eyes. Zhou Sheng felt the somewhat old palm between his hands slowly drooping down. He closed his eyes forcefully, suppressing the soreness welling up in his eyes.

There are some things that you can’t just prepare for. When you really lose, you will still be swallowed up by the feeling of powerlessness and sadness.A soft and warm hand gently hugged his shoulders. He turned his head and saw his wife's red eyes, tears and unconcealable worries, and he showed her a comforting smile. There were warm tears rolling down.He raised his hand to cover his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "You can't be tired now, go to rest for a while, I, I'll go to be alone for 2 minutes and come back to deal with it."

His wife knew that he just didn't want to reveal his weakness at the moment, so she nodded caringly. Zhou Sheng glanced at the silent father who had been holding his mother's hand, and turned and left the bedroom.

The window of the balcony was pushed open by him, and the cold wind blew in to disperse the smoke he exhaled.In fact, he hadn't smoked for a long time, because his wife was pregnant, and for the sake of his family and unborn child, he quit smoking cruelly.

The bottom of my heart still hurts like a needle prick, but the tears that were about to pour down just now scattered cleanly, not a single drop can flow down.He hadn't cried in a long time, maybe because all his tears had been shed the night he was separated from that person when he was a teenager.

Over the years, he has asked himself countless times, has he regretted it, regretted why he couldn't go with that person regardless?But no matter how many times he thought about it, his answer was always negative. His character probably wouldn't be able to do such a crazy thing in his life. His and that person's personalities were two extremes from the beginning.

And this undoubtedly doomed the ending of the two of them.In fact, the two of them are a little similar to Mu Yu and Xiu Qi, but they are not so different. Xiu Qi is sensitive but not paranoid, and Mu Yu is silent but more determined, so the two of them can still come together after going around, and he and Xiu Qi That person can only start a new life on their own.

Maybe this is fate. Two people who shouldn't have come together met and fell in love. Just a little problem will defeat them and ruin all the way to go.A few years ago, he still refused to believe it, but today, he already understood:

He and that person are destined to be unworthy of the white head.

The cigarette in his hand was getting shorter and shorter, and when it was about to burn his fingers, Zhou Sheng pinched it out, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly.It was dawn and he still had a lot of problems to deal with.

He just told his mother that it was true that he had never regretted getting married, but what he didn't say was that on the night before the wedding, he had a dream. He dreamed that on the basketball court nine years ago, they successfully won After that game, there was no conflict, and he was not separated from that person. They went to college in one city and worked in another city. They have always been together and have never been separated.

He hadn't mentioned the dream to anyone, and he never would.
