Chapter Nineteen

"Hiss..." Lingzi grinned in pain. On that summer night in 1998, Liu Lili helped her apply ointment on her face. The pain continued until today, and it hurts when she remembered it.

"Wife, think back on the past, right?" Gu Sheng handed over a cup of American ice coffee.

"Lao Gu, are you a worm in my stomach now?" Lingzi smiled. She saved the files in the computer, rubbed her temples with her hands, and stood up.

"How many years have we been together? Ten years? I know everything about your actions. You write romance, not memoirs. What did you experience when you were young? You are full of pain in your eyes that are trapped in memories."

Gu Sheng held the cup in his hand and leaned against the window frame next to the desk in the study. The 38-year-old man was burly and his broad shoulders made people feel safe.

"The past is like smoke, and a gust of wind blows away. There is still some residual flavor, so it's better not to mention it." Lingzi picked up the cup and tasted it slowly.

"Gu Zihao is already asleep. This kid is exhausted from learning swimming with me today. When you were doing creation just now, he took a shower and went to bed." Gu Sheng drank the coffee in his hand and walked over to wrap around her.

"You have a way. This brat is in adolescence now. He doesn't listen to what I said. He doesn't write his summer homework well after he finishes his summer vacation homework. He plays games all day long." Suzuko put down the cup and shook her head.

"It is difficult for children of his age to manage, so they have to consume their energy to the fullest. Let it go naturally in the past two years, and it will be easy to manage after this force." Gu Sheng inadvertently plucked the long hair of the ringer with his hands.

"Isn't it too late to go in two years? He is now the second year of the junior high school, which is the most critical period..." Suzuko was a little anxious, but was blocked by a passionate kiss.

The moonlight was quiet outside the window. Looking at Gu Sheng who was sleeping beside him, Lingzi couldn't sleep at all. Perhaps it was the effect of that cup of coffee. Lingzi's mind was like a movie, and the past came to her heart.

I simply got up and got out of bed. Although it was midsummer, the room was cool and comfortable. The central air conditioner was turned on at 26 degrees. Wherever the bell went, the night lights in the corner of the wall quietly lit up, and after walking, it went out.

As he came to his son's bedroom, the boy was sleeping soundly with his ass on his hips. Lingzi put a corner of the silk summer quilt on Gu Zihao's belly and sighed in his heart. He now has all the happy life he could not imagine when he was a child, so why are he still not satisfied?

The human heart is not enough and the snake swallows the elephant. Maybe it’s because he is too greedy. Lingzi shook his head and smiled secretly, leaving his son’s room.

The huge three-story villa is on the first floor with a living room and a nanny room. Sister Zhang, who is taking care of Nuoer, should be asleep now. Her daughter is six and a half years old this year. It’s time to enter the first grade in the summer.

Nuoer's bedroom is at the bottom of the second floor. The child follows Gu Sheng. He is calm and composed at a young age. The year he was born was the heyday of Suzuko's career. It can be said that he had been soaking in a honeypot since he was a child. His every move was completely like a noble lady, and he was the pearl in Gu Sheng's hand.

It seems that I will suffer from insomnia again tonight. Suzuko strolls to the third floor, which is her studio and study room. The business is managed by Gu Sheng. Suzuko has been devoted to writing in the past two years and has ended up having a leisurely life.

The book "Youth Travel" has only the beginning, and Suzuko fell into memories and couldn't extricate herself. She quietly left home on the day before her 18th birthday and has never been back. It has been seventeen years.

Is Liu Lili okay? She is now married and married, right? Where is Xiaobo? She is almost thirty years old. What kind of job is she doing now? She is getting married, right?

Parents? When Suzuko thought of this title, her head hurts. No, she doesn't want to think of them. She was born as human beings. They are neither qualified children nor qualified parents, and she must not follow their old path.

The baby and grandma in the sky are still watching her? How great would it be if grandma was still there! When she thought of grandma's loving face, Lingzi's heart ached. She hated herself for not growing up early. Seeing grandma who suddenly fell ill, she missed the opportunity to rescue her...

"Grandma, can you see me? I'm living a good life now and I'm very happy. I'm not a fool, really not! You're right, I found my own way, but unfortunately I'm not able to respect you..."

Linzi raised half a glass of red wine in his hand, stood by the window of the study, and raised his glass toward the night sky.

The night in Phoenix City is so beautiful. Looking through the window, the Panlong River at the door is clear and wide. Bridges cross the river. The lights on the bridge are bright, like colorful hairpins embedded on jade belts. Opposite the river is the main urban area of ​​Phoenix City, with tall buildings and neon lights flashing. It can really be called the city that never sleeps.

It took Suzuko ten years to start setting up a street stall and become the famous wholesale queen of Phoenix City today. She finally gained a firm foothold in this huge city. It's really not easy!

When she was twenty years old, she was pregnant. Suzuko instinctively wanted to reject the child. She hesitated for a long time and finally made up her mind. While waiting for the operation at the door of the operating room, Zihao kicked her gently, and Suzuko's heart melted.

She remembered her baby and grandma, those lives that were easily given up, and her own children were in her belly. How could she give up just by saying that she gave up?

Lingzi told herself that she must not let her children follow her old path again. However, she was displaced in those years. In order to avoid Hu Jin, Zihao's biological father, after giving birth to Zihao, she did not go out to work for a whole year, and sat at home to spend the rest of her life and took care of Zihao attentively.

Later, I heard from Sister Wang, who had set up a street stall together, that Hu Jinnan's family business went bankrupt due to a fire and would never come to Phoenix City again. Then Lingzi handed over her son to the landlord and aunt to take care of her and started working again.

In order to cultivate Zihao from an early age, Lingzi set up a street stall to make money while trying to give Zihao the best education. If the public kindergarten cannot get in, Lingzi begs the landlord and aunt. Her daughter opened a private bilingual kindergarten. Lingzi paid an extra sponsorship fee and sent her two-year-old son to the kindergarten.

Fortunately, Zihao is very smart and ranks among the best in literacy and arithmetics. Lingzi is happy. Maybe Zihao is following Hu Jin, unlike when he was a child, he even disliked his own mother because he was stupid.

But a new problem has come again. Zihao is smart, but his temper and personality are very unsociable. He either beat the child to cry or break the child's things, which makes Lingzi very troubled.

The teacher said that this child may be a situation that children from a single-parent family often encounter. They lack fatherly love since childhood and their mother is busy with work, which leads to his introverted and moody personality.

Only then did Suzuko realize what mistakes she had made when she was young. Zihao was only four years old that year. The teacher said that it was still too late to correct it, and Suzuko began to consider finding him a father.
