Chapter 14
There is no more well-behaved baby than his own child, Wu Xie has always thought so.At least in recent months, it has rarely happened that children can't sleep well at night because of crying.Not having to get up in the middle of the night to coax their children is a luxury for many parents.
However, Wu Xie occasionally woke up in the middle of the night and found that the child was sleeping soundly, but Zhang Qiling was not by her side.He paid attention to it carefully, and found that he was always woken up by the sound of water in the bathroom. At three or four o'clock in the morning, he really couldn't figure out why Zhang Qiling ran to take a bath at this time.
For the third time this week, Wu Xie discovered that Zhang Qiling was taking a shower in the middle of the night, and finally held on to his drowsiness until he came back, and hugged him with hands and feet: "Brother, do you want it? I don't disagree... Just say it straight, you don’t need to physically lower the fire in the middle of the night..."
Zhang Qiling lay down and kissed his forehead: "It's okay, you continue to sleep."
Being beside her Alpha felt very safe, since Zhang Qiling didn't seem to have that kind of thought, Wu Xie soon fell into a deep sleep.
This happened several times one after another, before Wu Xie vaguely felt that something was wrong.He didn't suspect that Zhang Qiling had lost interest in him, and would rather take a shower in the middle of the night than touch him.Words can deceive people, but eye movements cannot.Wu Xie saw Zhang Qiling sitting beside the crib more than once. He used to look at the ceiling, but now he looks at the child. This is a kind of concentrated, almost ecstatic stare.What's more, this child is almost like a trumpet printed out of a mold. He has grown a head of thick and thick black hair. When he opens his eyes, he can see pupils that are as dark as his father's. The purity and cleanliness unique to babies is simply amazing.
When the little guy wakes up Yoyo, Zhang Qiling will look helpless and turn to look for Wu Xie, because crying will burst out in the cradle in the next second.Wu Xie was inexplicably poked by such a stuffy oil bottle, and deliberately didn't extend a helping hand, but said, "You coax me." Zhang Qiling clumsily hugged the crying little monster, and Wu Xie corrected him a little. He can maintain the child's posture with his whole body stiff for an hour or two, and he is reluctant to put it down when the child stops crying and falls asleep again.
The way Zhang Qiling looked at him was the same, some kind of indescribable warmth almost overflowed, besides, Wu Xie thought that during this period of time, his life with Zhang Qiling's side was quite harmonious... He came back to his senses and saw Zhang Qiling again Early in the morning, he actually sat there and dozed off, with blue eyes under his eyes.Although I know that the Zhang family is used to fragmented sleep, it is obvious that Zhang Qiling's sleep quality is not good recently. Since it is not because of burning desires and nowhere to vent, the weather has turned cold in mid-November , it’s not so hot every day that you have to get up in the middle of the night to take a shower, right?
It is not a solution to ask this stuffy oil bottle directly whether he is alive or not. Wu Xie thinks that the most important thing is to find out what Zhang Qiling does every night before going to take a bath.
It’s really not easy to seriously investigate this matter. Zhang Qiling’s movements should be as light as possible, and he will never wake him up. If it weren’t for the inability to control the sound of the bath water falling, Wu Xie might not have it until now. How can you wake up naturally if you are not aware of it, and you can't open the alarm clock at [-] o'clock in the middle of the night?In the end, Wu Xie came up with a solution. He drank two glasses of water before going to bed, and slept until midnight to urinate urgently. Now he finally woke up.
Sure enough, Zhang Qiling was not by his side.
Wu Xie subconsciously looked at the other side. The crib was foldable and disassembled. Zhang Qiling removed the guardrail on one side and put it together with their big bed. Just turn sideways and you can see the baby from the opening of the crib.
But now, the cot was empty.
"Zhang Qiling?... Zhang Qiling!" Wu Xie yelled twice, but no one answered, he panicked all of a sudden, he felt Zhang Qiling's pheromone a little bit, the smell was very weak, obviously he had been away for several hours.
But it's four o'clock in the morning!
Wu Xie turned over and got out of bed, and didn't have time to put on his shoes. He searched around the living room and the balcony but found no one. He looked at the empty room, and suddenly felt a kind of unreasonable fear. Zhang Qiling disappeared?Or, everything, being with Zhang Qiling, being marked, the child...is all his illusion?
Damn it!You fucking calm down!There will be absolutely nothing wrong with the child and Zhang Qiling.Wu Xie thought twice silently with psychological hints, opened the door and was about to go downstairs when she saw the lights in the corridor were on.He soon heard Zhang Qiling's footsteps, very light but fast, Zhang Qiling held the child in one hand, turned around the corner of the stairs, halfway up the stairs, stopped at his feet and looked up at him.
Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief: "What the hell are you doing wandering outside without sleeping in the middle of the night!"
Before Zhang Qiling could answer, the little guy in his arms felt that he had stopped in his tracks and writhed restlessly, his little face wrinkled and looked like he was about to burst into tears.
As Zhang Qiling walked towards Wu Xie, he lowered his head and coaxed the child very unskillfully: "Don't cry, don't cry baby..."
Wu Xie's heart softened, and he almost couldn't bear to look at it again. He had never seen Zhang Qiling look so cautious and at a loss. He was working very hard to do something he didn't know how to do. Coaxing children and Zhang Qiling's temperament did not match at all, so It seems very inconsistent, but it looks so soft.
When Zhang Qiling approached, Wu Xie saw that his neck was covered with sweat. It was already late autumn, how could he be so hot in a single shirt?Wu Xie raised his hand to help him wipe his forehead: "Go back quickly, crying in the corridor in the middle of the night will disturb the people!"
Zhang Qiling shook his head and said, "No."
I don't know where he got his confidence, Wu Xie saw that the little guy was going to slap him in the face in the next second.
Zhang Qiling looked down and saw Wu Xie's bare feet, his face sank obviously, and there was some order in his tone: "Go back to sleep."
The child was already crying, Zhang Qiling couldn't say much, turned around and ran downstairs, the little guy felt the lightness and weightlessness of going downstairs for a moment, thought it was very interesting, and the crying stopped immediately.
Now Wu Xie knew what he was doing, but the stairs had to go to the bottom, so they couldn't keep running down. Thinking of Zhang Qiling's sweaty appearance, he fully understood——
Daodou's first brother is dumb Zhang, and the head of the Zhang family is Zhang Qiling.No matter how capable he is, facing an unreasonable baby, the limit he can do is to carry the baby up and down the stairs for the short-term weightlessness when going downstairs.
Wu Xie couldn't tell what mood he was in, his heart was sour and sweet back and forth.
Zhang Qiling ran up again, Wu Xie hugged adults and children, and felt that the clothes on his back were wet, and he climbed up with a heavy weight. It seemed that the amount of exercise was greater than fighting, Wu Xie was anxious: "Zhang Qiling, you **** Doing this in the middle of the night every day? Are you stupid, do you have too much energy to use up..."
Zhang Qiling breathed steadily: "Crying will disturb you."
"..."
Wu Xie was stunned, he was silent for a while before he could speak out: "How many times do you run this way in one night?"
Zhang Qiling looked down, the little guy in his arms seemed to be calmer, and he was about to fall asleep, so he replied in a low voice: "Run until he falls asleep."
Wu Xie looked at Zhang Qiling for a long time, his eyes were sour, he choked up and asked, "Is it meaningful?"
After many years, I asked Zhang Qiling about meaning again. At that time, he was as calm as water, and asked Wu Xie whether the word "meaning" had any meaning?The detached indifference is still in front of my eyes, and now, in this corridor lit with warm yellow lights, Zhang Qiling is holding a child in his hands, and he said: "What is meaning? Wu Xie, there are many things about children that I care about." Not familiar with it, but I want to do more of it... running the stairs makes him cry one less time, so that makes sense."
How about running hundreds of stairs for Wu Xie to sleep more peacefully, is it futile?meaningless?How can it be worth it or not?It's just that Zhang Qiling was willing to do it, so he did it.In the past few months, Wu Xie has been very proud, wishing to show off to everyone that his child never cries in the middle of the night, because he didn't know how many troubles Zhang Qiling silently solved for him behind all these peaceful feelings.
They are all new fathers, and it is inevitable that they will be in a hurry, and they will inevitably have bumps and bumps, but so what?They are all working hard to learn, the children are learning to grow up, talk and walk, they are learning to be better and more competent fathers, Wu Xie knows that Zhang Qiling is willing, because he himself is the same, learning to be a father, this feeling almost makes people addicted.
Since each other understands this, it would be superfluous to persuade them.After a long time, Wu Xie asked sullenly, "Are you asleep?"
"Ah."
They looked down together, their foreheads almost touched each other, and the little guy in his arms was still clutching a little piece of clothing on Zhang Qiling's chest.
"Let's go back."
"Ah."
But no one moved, Wu Xie raised his head, and accepted Zhang Qiling's patient and long kiss through the sleeping child.
How many nights when Zhang Qiling entered the room, he could always see Wu Xie lying on the big bed, sideways, staring blankly at the sleeping child. Sometimes when he fell asleep, his face was still facing the opening of the small bed , keep looking in the direction of the child.
Every time Zhang Qiling went to bed lightly, he wrapped Wu Xie into his arms from behind. Out of instinct, his hug would make Wu Xie fall into a more peaceful sleep.
In the past, Zhang Qiling never imagined that these two people would make him love so much that he didn't know what to do. He was indifferent by nature and was not good at expressing. He had never even said words similar to love or liking to Wu Xie, but he knew clearly that as long as he saw Wu Xie To see or think of them, love can rush to the face.
He is Zhang Qiling. This name has been lonely for hundreds of years. When outsiders see him, they only think of the supremacy, strength and hostility. But when he stands in this room, he is suddenly full of the smell of fireworks in the world. No matter what Zhang Qiling is, he is just a mediocre father.
It was very late at night, the lights of all houses were extinguished, and the house was very quiet. This kind of peaceful silence can make people clearly feel how small the world has become.
That night, Zhang Qiling looked at the two sleeping people, one big and one small, silently for a long, long time.
