hard to let go

Chapter 29

After all, Gao Ziqun went to see Wen Jun.Wen Jun stayed in the room all day without saying a word, his unhappiness was beyond words.

"Xiao Jun—" Gao Ziqun gently opened the door and called his name.

Wen Jun turned his back to him, shrank his small body, pitiful and helpless.

Gao Ziqun walked over and sat beside him, "It seems that Xiaojun doesn't want to see me, so I'm leaving." He said as he stood up.

"No——" Wen Jun immediately grabbed his arm, turned his head, his eye circles were red, it was obvious that he cried a lot today.

Gao Ziqun stretched out his arms to embrace him, "Xiaojun, didn't I tell you before that "a man should bleed but not cry", don't you remember?"

Wen Jun sniffled, "I haven't forgotten. But dad—" he stopped in the middle of shouting, "You're not my dad." His voice was full of loss. "Mom told me you're not my dad." You're just Xixi's dad.

Gao Ziqun looked at him quietly, his eyes darkened, and he vaguely saw Qiao Yu's appearance on the child. "Xiao Jun can always call me Dad."

Wen Jun's small face was slightly startled, and he lowered his head silently, "Is it okay?"

"Of course." Gao Ziqun said confidently.Of course, he and Wen Shu pretended to marry, on the one hand, because he beat the child in cold weather, and on the other hand, it was because of the child in Wen Shu's belly.

"But it's different." After knowing the truth, he knew it was different.No matter how good Gao Ziqun was to him, he still changed.

Gao Ziqun seemed to know what he was thinking, he chuckled and said, "You can still be like Xixi." His love for Wen Jun will not change.

This is his promise.

The child's uneasiness will not disappear immediately because of Gao Ziqun's chat with him this time.

Wen Shu stood in front of the window, the stars were shining brightly outside the window, and the lights of thousands of houses were shining. She watched quietly, her eyes were slightly blurred, her fingers were tightly clenched, and there seemed to be something struggling between her brows.

When Gao Ziqun came out of the house, he saw her standing there with a lonely back.He sighed silently in his heart, "It's late, I'll go back first."

Wen Shu turned around slowly, looking at the man in front of her, she suddenly didn't understand.

"Ziqun, thank you." She said lightly, her complexion not very good.

Gao Ziqun responded, "Have a good rest."

She didn't sit down in a daze until she heard the sound of the door closing, covering her face with her hands.

The human heart is the most difficult to control.When he loves you, you dismiss him.When he gradually walks to others, it seems like a lifetime, and you realize that before you know it, he has already been stationed in your heart.

Time moves quickly like running water.Leng Xi has to be busy with work and at the same time take care of Leng Lian. At this time, she can't wait to have three heads and six arms.

Gao Ziqun would occasionally send the pistol to her.In fact, she doesn't have much time to spend with her children. Sometimes, Xixi just quietly does her homework.In this regard, Xixi did not show any displeasure.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the sports meeting.Taking advantage of dinner time, Leng Xi took Xixi to the mall to buy sneakers.

Gao Xixi was a little hesitant, "Mom, I have shoes to wear." She didn't want to hurt her mother. Every season, her father would send her a shoe cabinet with various styles of shoes.

Leng Xi naturally knew, "The one Mom bought for you is different."

Gao Xixi rolled her eyes, "Mom, don't buy it. It's a waste of time for us to go out now, I just want to talk to you."

Leng Xi was taken aback, feeling a little helpless, he had too little time with her recently, "Mom has been too busy recently, I'm sorry."

Gao Xixi took her arm, "Dad said you've been busy recently, so let's not go out."

The corner of Leng Xi's mouth twitched vaguely, "What did your father tell you?"

"That's right." Gao Xixi met her eyes, and she frowned, "Actually, every time I told my father to send me here.

Every time he would say, your mother is very busy, so be good. "She deliberately imitated Gao Ziqun's way of speaking.

Leng Xi was amused by her and laughed out loud.

Xixi smacked her mouth and asked dissatisfied, "Mom, am I not good?"

Leng Xi chuckled, "Of course."

Seeing her mother smile, Gao Xixi snuggled into Leng Xi's arms, and Leng Xi changed her movements to make her lie more comfortably.

"Mother--"

"Um--"

"Mom, are you and Dad together?" She said softly.

Leng Xi's face gradually turned a little gloomy. She was thinking about how to tell Xixi to let her understand that she and Gao Ziqun would not be together anymore. "Xixi, look, your dad already has a home that belongs to him. Mom and dad can't be together."

Gao Xixi frowned, "But Dad likes you."

Leng Xi was suddenly amused by her words, "How old are you that you already know whether you like it or not?"

Gao Xixi sat up immediately, with a serious face, "Dad has always kept your photo in the bedside table. I saw him often take it out to look at it, but he has never seen Wen Jun's mother." What is this not like?

Leng Xi nodded his nose, "Silly girl—" She hugged her gently, "There are too many things between father and mother..." She couldn't understand Gao Ziqun, obviously She is already married and has a child, why can she talk to her so calmly?

Gao Xixi didn't understand, "Mom, do you like Uncle Chu?"

Leng Xi was stunned, she didn't expect the child to be so sensitive, she couldn't help but frowned, "Uncle Chu is a good friend of mother."

"That's good." She nodded maturely.

Leng Xi couldn't laugh or cry.

On the morning of the sports meeting, Gao Ziqun drove to pick her up early in the morning. The weather in November is neither hot nor cold, and people are refreshed.

Leng Xi had just finished washing when he heard voices coming from outside.After a while, Qin Xiaoyun knocked on her door, "Xixi is here." Her voice was very weak.Leng Xi understood her feelings, the Leng family didn't like Gao Ziqun.

Fortunately, Gao Ziqun is now more self-aware than before, he stayed in the car, and Xixi went into the house alone.

"Mom, are you ready?" Gao Xixi was wearing a watermelon red tracksuit today. Her skin was already fair, and this outfit made her look even more lovely.Lengxi also changed into the same style of clothes as her, and she also raised her hair up. The mother and daughter stood together, like sisters.

Seeing her daughter's anxious appearance, Leng Xi took a bag of milk and toast and was about to set off.

Qin Xiaoyun yelled, "I'll make some noodles for you, eat some before you leave."

"Mom, no need, I'll go first." Turning to Xixi, she said, "Let's go."

Gao Xixi thought that she would have come later if she had known.

When Gao Ziqun saw them leaving the courtyard, his eyes froze for a moment, and there was a bit of hope in his eyes.Xixi got into the car and sat in the back with Lengxi.

Gao Ziqun looked at the clothes of the two, and then at himself. Although it was casual clothes, something seemed to be missing.

"Your clothes are quite nice." He started the car and said seemingly unintentionally.

"I think so too. Mom, people must think you are my sister."

Leng Xi smiled vaguely while eating the toast.

The corner of Gao Ziqun's mouth raised slightly, "Then I stand with you? What do people say?"

Gao Xixi was still staring at Leng Xi, but now she turned to look at her father, thinking for a long time, "Anyway, no one will say you are my brother."

Leng Xi just took a sip of milk, but it got stuck in her throat and almost spit it out.

The sports meeting held by the foreign elementary school is very impressive every year, and the school, the Education Bureau and the parents of the students all give special support.The school combined the sports meeting with parent-child activities, and many parents came today.

Crowded.Gao Ziqun walked beside the mother and daughter, frowning.

Leng Xi laughed inwardly, he never liked such occasions.She asked Xixi softly, "Last year, who accompanied you?"

"Aunt Sun. Dad happened to go out of town last year." Gao Xixi said firmly.

Leng Xi didn't say anything more.Gao Ziqun turned his head and looked at them, "It's still half an hour before your game. Get ready."

Leng Xi lowered his head, "Just try your best, and you don't have to be the first."

Gao Ziqun said disapprovingly, "You underestimate your daughter too much."

When the 100-meter competition in the second grade, Chen Shaochen and Xu Chenxi also came.When Chen Xi saw Leng Xi and Gao Ziqun together, she didn't show much surprise, she just nodded to Gao Ziqun with a smile.

Then he said to Leng Xi, "Let's have dinner together at noon, we haven't been together for a long time."

Leng Xiyaner, a friend for many years, although they have lost contact in the past few years, their friendship has always been there.

"Why didn't my brother-in-law come today?" Leng Xi smiled lightly.

Chen Xi pursed her lips, "He doesn't have time. The clothes you are wearing today remind me of our high school days. Leng Xi, you should wear more of these types of clothes, you are young."

"How can you say you are young at this age?"

"Actually, I also bought a set of family portraits."

"Remember to wear it next time you come out."

Chen Xi smiled helplessly, "Mr. Chen wore it once at home, you let him wear it outside, unless the sun rises from the west."

Having said that, Leng Xi could still see the happiness on Chen Xi's face.Leng Xi smiled shallowly, the girl who loved Gu Weian finally changed.

Gao Ziqun glanced at her face slightly, and saw the faint smile on the corner of her mouth, a little envious and a little bitter.He frowned slightly.Speaking of which, it was because of Chen Xi that Leng Xi took the initiative to contact him.

"It's almost 100 meters away?" Leng Xi's eyebrows suddenly raised, sweeping away the previous gloom. "I'll go to Xixi's side first."

"You go, I'm right here." Chen Xi said.As soon as Leng Xi left, she suddenly said, "Mr. Gao, are you not going?"

Gao Ziqun laughed lightly, "Chenxi, don't always look resentful every time you see me."

"You're overthinking, Mr. Gao, I don't have any resentment towards you." Chen Xi said sourly.

Gao Ziqun smiled.

Chen Xi took a deep breath, "Lengxi is my best friend, she has always been an optimist, but look at her now, where is the happiness she used to have. Look at Xixi now, isn't she Do you feel familiar?"

Around 9 o'clock, the sun is getting stronger and stronger.Gao Ziqun slightly squinted his eyes and looked ahead, even in the surging crowd, he still saw the mother and daughter at a glance.

Leng Xi bent over and didn't know what to say to Xixi. Xixi turned her head and said something, and Xixi slowly exited the runway.

Chihi——

When he gave her this name back then, one was a homophony of "Xi" in her name, and the other was his hope.

"In the future, I will make her happy." After Gao Ziqun said these words lightly, he walked towards the arena, leaving behind a slightly shocked morning light.

Gao Xixi took the first place.Leng Xi snapped a lot of photos of her. Seeing her daughter's sweaty face and bright smile, her heart was full.

She squatted down and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, "When I was studying, what I was most afraid of was running. You are much better than my mother."

Gao Xixi raised her head and watched Gao Ziqun approaching. She said, "This is trained by grandpa. Dad, I won the first place again." She turned her head and shouted.

Leng Xi turned her head and watched Gao Ziqun walking towards him step by step.The sunlight imprinted on his white casual clothes, giving off a faint halo.He walked over and took the camera that Leng Xi had on his arm.It happened to be convenient for Leng Xi to tidy up for her daughter.

At noon Gao Ziqun drove them to a nearby restaurant for dinner.Leng Xi wanted Chen Xi to go with her, but Chen Xi said that she had something to do at work in the afternoon and she had to go back. It happened that Shao Chen had a cold and she wanted to send him to his grandparents.

Had to give up.

In fact, Chenxi wants the family to have more opportunities to get along.

A meal is also peaceful.In the middle, Lengxi received a call from Chu Hang. "Chuhang, I have to go to the foreign elementary school in the afternoon. Well, the sports meeting is not over yet. Well, I'll call you later."

The originally lively atmosphere suddenly cooled down because of this phone call.

Gao Ziqun's face was pale, showing no emotion.

Gao Xixi said, "Mom, you can't be absent this afternoon. This is the first large-scale event for our family."

Leng Xi was helpless, "I know. I will try not to hinder Xixi."

"It's okay, the important thing is to participate." Gao Xixi said firmly.With her mother's sports skills, she thinks it's fine as long as it's not counting backwards.Besides, none of their family has practiced before, and the other students who participated have all practiced.Gao Xixi looked at Gao Ziqun and then at Leng Xi, but she still didn't mention it.

Gao Xixi took a sip of water, "Lengxi, if you don't want to drag Xixi back, I think we need to practice." He took a deep look at her.

Gao Xixi didn't speak, but the silence was enough to represent her meaning.

At this moment, Leng Xi finally realized that the father and daughter have a lot in common, and she said shallowly, "Then let's practice."

The waiter brought two strips of cloth.

The three stood in the box, Leng Xi and Gao Ziqun each tied a rope.

"Okay, let's go." Gao Ziqun looked at them, and they both nodded.

"Start—" the password was given, and it was not so easy to walk.

Failed the first time.

Gao Xixi sighed, "There is no tacit understanding."

Gao Ziqun smiled, "Leng Xi, walk with your left leg first, let's try it. Okay——step over the right leg, Xixi's left leg—"

Before they knew it, they started walking. Although it was slow, it was already good if they could walk well.

Gao Xixi suddenly laughed, "Dad, you are so amazing—" As soon as she finished speaking, she took the wrong leg and fell forward in an instant.Leng Xi took a deep breath, "Xixi—" leaning forward to pull her.Hesitantly her legs were tied, and she slid down with her whole body.

There was a panic, and finally, the family fell to the ground, and Gao Ziqun lay at the bottom tightly protecting the two people in his arms.Leng Xi struggled to sit up, she was shocked, "Did you hit something? Xixi—"

Gao Ziqun frowned, "Untie the rope first." He was the one under pressure, why couldn't she think of him?
