Wei Kaiyun now feels utterly lost, his greatest wish is finally within reach, but why does it an leaving his wife and child behind again?
Old Yang patted his shoulder, though speaking objectively, when it cos to oneself, it’s quite a different matter.
"Alright, I can’t stay much longer, I’ll go buy a ticket soon, I must leave imdiately."
"Back to the Northeast or the Capital?"
"The Northeast, it’s best not to return to the Capital at this ti, if you’re mindful, how could you not know of our relationship?"
Wei Kaiyun felt a sharp pain in his heart, regretting seeking Old Yang’s counsel.
Old Yang said no more, stood up, and went out.
Jiang Xinyu snuggled next to Wei Kaiyun, embracing this sowhat lancholic man. "It’s alright, I can manage on my own."
She knew a woman shouldn’t be too understanding, as over ti, a man could grow accustod to your sacrifices, your compromises, your strength.
But she loved this man, he was the father of her child, and she couldn’t bear to see him struggle.
"Darling, I don’t want this, I want to take care of you and the child, I’ve neglected you both far too much, I want to be part of our son’s growth, I want to be with you every day."
"In just over three years, I can co back, ti flies, it’ll pass in the blink of an eye."
But no matter the comfort, Wei Kaiyun still couldn’t ease his heart.
He hugged Jiang Xinyu back, "I’m just a useless man, putting my wife and child in such a predicant."
Jiang Xinyu didn’t know what to say, is this sothing all n care about?
Jiang Shijing woke and pulled Wei Kaiyun’s thoughts back.
Once Jiang Xinyu fed Shijing, Old Yang returned.
"I have a train at five tomorrow morning. Wait for my news."
Wei Kaiyun nodded, the price of not leaving ans possibly exposing his wife and child, also carrying a stigma for life.
Leaving ans leaving them behind again, unable to participate in the child’s growth, letting his wife face all life’s pressures alone.
"Xiao Wei, this isn’t like you." Old Yang sighed deeply, such an old buddy indeed brings sighs.
He’s co to terms with it, this life for him ans being alone, one person fed and the whole family is fed.
At dinner, they had at-stuffed flatbreads, Jiang Xinyu knew Old Yang dropped everything to find Wei Kaiyun, a trendous kindness, she could only repay him with small gestures.
"Xiao Jiang, food made by you is always comforting. You don’t need to worry, I’ll send soone over to help you."
Jiang Xinyu shook her head, "No need, Master Yang, I’m just an ordinary person, this way no one keeps a close watch, but having soone around might change that, besides, I can do it myself."
Old Yang nodded indifferently, "You’re a strong woman, just as you should be. Xiao Wei is lucky to have you by his side."
Jiang Xinyu just smiled, she was inherently stubborn, it’s in her bones, even in a different life, it’s the sa.
She was steadfast about Wei Kaiyun, determined to walk down this path to the end.
That night, Wei Kaiyun was almost relentlessly entwined with Jiang Xinyu, as if making up for the past, preempting the future.
Jiang Xinyu was slightly overwheld, but whenever he called her incessantly, all temper faded.
Next day, Old Yang left, taking with him the food Jiang Xinyu prepared for him.
Days passed in their affectionate embrace, until the eve of the Lunar New Year, Wei Kaiyun watched the child while Jiang Xinyu and Bai Hongying prepared a lavish lunch.
"Aunt Bai, is it alright for you not to go ho?"
Jiang Xinyu was a bit embarrassed, after all, Aunt Bai had carefully looked after their family of three, and she only asked now.
"No need, I ran into my daughter on the street the day before yesterday."
Though Jiang Xinyu never inquired about her family affairs, judging by the tone, it couldn’t be too good, just two daughters, likely unable to care for her much.
Wei Kaiyun sat beside his son, flipping through their family photos. The room only had their mother-and-son photos, none of his.
This saddened Wei Kaiyun for quite so ti, but he knew it must be this way for now.
Looking at the couple’s photo, he was dissatisfied, he believed he looked awful then, before leaving, he must take new photos, now with so weight on his face, he looked a bit younger.
He never cared about his appearance before, but since falling for Jiang Xinyu, unconsciously, he began to pay attention to his face.
Afraid he’d beco too unattractive, fearing his wife would disdain him, others saying he was unworthy of her.
Now he worried even more about his wife, fearing she’d be taken away.
She had matured, beco even more beautiful, possessing a unique charm others lacked, very captivating.
Wei Kaiyun had never been so insecure before.
When his son woke, he had no ti for idle thoughts, tending to the adorable little boy, who always smiled at him.
He now had a son, sothing he never imagined, even after being with his wife, he never considered it.
It was heaven’s gift to him. Indeed, the more he looked, the more his son seed utterly endearing.
When the child was comfortable, he didn’t cry, limbs flailing, Wei Kaiyun watched with a face full of smiles.
After about ten minutes of play, seeing the child’s brows furrowed, it was ti for food.
Hurriedly leaning down to kiss him, "Son, wait, I’ll get your mom."
During New Year’s Eve lunch, the four of them sat together at the table. Wei Kaiyun ate while holding his son, calling it a reunion al.
Dumplings for dinner were in two fillings: three-ingredient and at.
As Jiang Xinyu’s family life was good, Bai Hongying had put on weight, now thinking she just wanted to work well and earnestly take care of the child, a family like this can’t be found elsewhere.
Moreover, the family treated her truly well, even gave her five yuan for the New Year.
Outside was lively, firecrackers sound one after another, indeed the atmosphere of the New Year.
Wei Kaiyun held his breathless wife close, "On the eighth, let’s go to the photo studio to take new pictures again."
"Hmm, haven’t we already taken so?"
"But that day was our son’s three-month mark, and we need to retake, I feel I don’t match you in the last photo."
Jiang Xinyu rolled her eyes, that last part was the real reason, right? Seriously, she’d never noticed this side of him before.
"Darling, I don’t think I have the chance to return again, could you take our son to see during sumr vacation?"
"Hmm, I’ll ask Zhang Shuping, if she’s going, I’ll go too."
"Darling, even if she doesn’t go, please co visit too, alright? I miss you both."
Jiang Xinyu, helpless under his pestering, nodded, "Okay, we’ll co to see you."
