Chapter 44
Chapter 44
In this trip to France, apart from discussing cooperation with Zhuo Shang, Yu Sui actually took advantage of the temporary distance from Chu Jiayun's mother and daughter to reconsider seriously how to go in the future.Is it to implement the kind of friend who can still be a good parent of the children after breaking up, or to try to continue the relationship and really give Xinxin a complete home.
She called Sheng Nanxi and asked the doctoral student in child education for advice, but the more details she told, the harder it was to hide some things.
"Ah Sui, you suddenly ask so many questions about children's education, are you planning to become a stepmother?"
"Who said I want to be a stepmother?"
"You have never shown that you like children, nor do you design toys for children. I can't think of any other reason than that you are now so interested in the most troublesome educational aspect."
It's not that Yu Sui doesn't trust Sheng Nanxi, but also believes that Sheng Nanxi will understand her.It's just that this is not her own business, at least after discussing it with Chu Jiayun.
"After I returned to China, I met a cute kid who was about to go to kindergarten, so I wanted to learn more about this. It would be great if I could help."
"Then this kid must be very cute, and he can touch your Buddhist heart."
After Sheng Nanxi's guidance and Yu Sui's self-exploration, she bought two limited-edition parent-child scarves, one large and one small.
Xinxin opened the gift, looked at the flowers on it, and was so excited that she touched it with her hands over and over again.Pure cashmere texture, soft and warm, comfortable to touch.
Chu Jiayun looked at the piece in his hand, obviously a little surprised by this gift.
She had thought for a long time that Yu Sui would definitely bring gifts to Xinxin, and this time she went to Shangding Group again, and she might bring back some special toys.
"Thank you for the scarf."
"Although it's still summer, I've checked the weather forecast over the years. As long as it's autumn when I leave the city, the wind will be particularly strong."
Chu Jiayun tightened her hand holding the scarf, for fear that she would reveal too much emotion.She took the initiative to change the subject and asked about work.
"Basically, it has been negotiated. Five products will be launched before the end of the year, and a trial promotion will be carried out in the European market."
"Only in Europe?"
Yu Sui also felt a little regretful about this: "The market is a bit small, but Europe is currently the most mature market. In the testing stage, I can't ask for too much."
Xinxin doesn't understand Europe, and it doesn't matter what size it is. She only knows that Aunt Yu, whom she hasn't seen for a month and a half, has finally returned and brought her a nice little scarf.
She walked back and forth on the sofa, lying on her mother's shoulder for a while, and wandering over to Yu Sui's arms for a while, expressing her excitement for Yu Sui's return.
During this business trip, Yu Sui was actually most worried that he and Xinxin would become unfamiliar after returning, after all children need company.But Chu Jiayun would let them video chat every day, and would also inform her in time about some special things that happened to Xinxin. Apart from being unable to truly hug Xinxin, Yu Sui didn't feel that the distance was so far away.
Yu Sui and Chu Jiajun would go out to play with each other every Saturday, and they reached a tacit understanding that no matter how busy they were at work, they would spare Saturdays.Sometimes Yu Sui had to work overtime on Sundays, so she took the computer to Chu Jiayun's house to accompany Xinxin while revising the manuscript.
Xinxin was very curious about the dazzling designs and colors on the screen, Yu Sui hugged her and sat in front of the computer, explaining to her how these colors are subdivided.
But children love to move after all, Xinxin's persistence will soon fail, she still prefers to be with her toys.
Working overtime while watching the children, the efficiency must be poor, but Yu Sui no longer showed any irritability.Even sometimes Xinxin suddenly ran over and climbed onto her back, or stretched out his hand to cover her eyes, and then giggled wickedly.
For Yu Sui, this is definitely not an ideal working environment, but she still remembers the harm caused to her heart by that casual outburst.She would rather feel uncomfortable than suffer another blow to her heart.
This Sunday, Chu Jiayun did not come back on time.She called Yu Sui and said that the client had temporarily changed the time, so she needed to be home late.
But until dinner, Chu Jiayun was still on the way.There were already thunder and lightning outside, and the wind and rain were blowing. The sudden rainstorm made Xin Xin so frightened that she hid in Yu Sui's arms and dared not move.
Yu Sui stayed at home with Xinxin, looking at the raindrops outside the window that were about to smash the glass, he couldn't help worrying about Chu Jiayun.
The pace of life in Licheng is slow and the interpersonal relationship is simple. These are all advantages, but the changeable climate here is also a factor that restricts development.
Coupled with the limited educational resources and openness, in a sense, Licheng is not suitable for the growing Xinxin.
"Aunt Yu, why hasn't mom come back?"
The trembling voice, the eager desire to see her mother made Yu Sui hold her tighter: "Mom will be home soon, let's wait."
Chu Jiayun didn't expect that the rainstorm would be so exaggerated this time, and her way home was much more difficult than usual.The car in front of me suddenly turned off. If I want to go home at this time, I can only help each other.
When she got home, the clothes on her body were not completely dry.
Xinxin finally looked forward to her mother's return, and couldn't wait to hug her, but Yu Sui still hugged her tightly: "Xinxin, mom is raining on her body now, so I can't hug you, I will come back after mom has cleaned up."
She hurriedly urged Chu Jiayun again: "Go take a hot bath first."
But in the middle of the night, Chu Jiayun still felt a little feverish.She struggled to turn on the desk lamp, Xinxin fell into a deep sleep, the dim yellow light only frowned to her, and did not wake up.
Chu Jiayun had a splitting headache and felt weak all over. She took out the medicine and still felt uncomfortable.I have been sick before, and I have always gritted my teeth and persisted after taking medicine.
But tonight she seemed to have changed her mind a bit. I don't know if it was because she was sicker and more uncomfortable or because she felt that she had someone who could help.She hesitated for a moment and called Yu Sui.
Yu Sui said that she can come to her anytime if you need anything.
Chu Jiayun never took the initiative to trouble her.But tonight, she suddenly became weak and wanted Yu Sui to help her.
The phone rang for a while before it was connected. Yu Sui was obviously asleep, and his voice was very vague.
Chu Jiayun endured the discomfort: "Sorry for waking you up so late, can you do me a favor?"
"What are you busy with?"
"I have a fever, and I want you to come over and take care of Xinxin for me."
Yu Sui's voice became sober in an instant, and Chu Jiayun didn't hear her say any more unnecessary words, only a simple and powerful answer: "I'll come right away."
With these extremely simple four words, the effect is more obvious than the medicine she just took, and the discomfort seems not so obvious.
Yu Sui rushed over after putting on his coat, and didn't even have time to change into the pajamas inside.
When she saw Chu Jiayun, she had just vomited and looked tired.
"Did you catch a cold from the rain?" Yu Sui reached out and touched her forehead, the temperature was high.
Chu Jiayun turned around and distanced herself from her, for fear of infecting her: "It should be, plus I'm not in good health recently, and my resistance is relatively weak."
"Xinxin is in the room, please take care of her tonight, I'm afraid of infecting her."
"how about you?"
"I'm going to sleep in the study."
There is a sofa bed in Chu Jiayun's study, and sometimes he will take a nap on it when he is tired from work.Although there was a bed in the guest room, it was always empty, and she hardly slept in it.
Yu Sui held her, her wrist was scorching hot, burning her fingertips.
Such a temperature and such a touch feel like that summer.
"You are sick, you should sleep in your room, I will take Xinxin to the study."
"The bed in the study is very narrow."
Yu Sui ignored her, and pulled her into the room: "Xinxin can understand, she is a sensible child. On the contrary, you are a mother, why don't you become sensible."
Chu Jiayun was speechless by what she said, probably because she was so sick that she didn't have the energy to argue.
Xinxin was pulled out from the quilt by Yu Sui wrapped in a small blanket, with a confused face, half-closed her eyes thinking that she was dreaming, otherwise how could Aunt Yu appear in front of her at night.
"Xinxin, mom is sick, let's give up the big bed to mom, can you and Aunt Yu go to the study to sleep?"
Xinxin nodded first, then shook her head: "Xinxin wants to accompany mother."
"Mom's illness is contagious, it will be bad if Xinxin is also sick."
Chu Jiayun didn't dare to get too close to them. The child was already prone to illness at this age, and she really didn't want to experience the plight of two of them falling ill together.
Yu Sui walked out with Xinxin in his arms, and looked back at her when he reached the door: "I will take good care of Xinxin, you go to sleep."
Chu Jiayun felt that she was really sick, like a child, obediently obeyed what Yu Sui said.
In the morning, Yu Sui cooked a pot of porridge in the kitchen, then went back to the study to look at Xinxin.
The child hadn't woken up yet, and the porridge was still not ready, Yu Sui hesitated for a moment, and went into Chu Jiayun's room.
The fragrance of roses lingered in the room, causing Yu Sui's heart to flutter.It's common to come here to grab a meal, but it's rare to have the opportunity to enter the bedroom.
She checked Chu Jiayun's temperature, and the fever had subsided, but the ends of her hair were still half wet.
Yu Sui's gaze went from her forehead to the tip of her eyebrows, over the tip of her nose and onto her lips.A little dry and tingly.Chu Jiayun, who was ill, made people want to take care of her and take care of her.
Yu Sui thought of her vomiting that Xinxin was accustomed to, and the strong support after having a fever, and it was hard to imagine how Chu Jiayun had come here alone with the child all these years.
But in fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible to understand.
The more Yu Sui learned about the hardships of raising children, the more she felt sorry for Chu Jiayun.
At this moment, Chu Jiayun woke up suddenly, probably because she felt that there was someone beside her, which made her alert all of a sudden.
When she opened her eyes, what she saw was Yu Sui whose eyes were full of pity, and Chu Jiayun was also stunned.The distance between the two was very close, their eyes met, and neither of them spoke.
There was a hint of ebony in the fragrance of roses, which was long and familiar, and Chu Jiayun's heart suddenly twitched.
Since that summer, she has only reacted to the smell of ebony.
Yu Sui didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, but he instinctively wanted to get a little closer, a little closer.
When Chu Jiayun was about to touch her, she suddenly turned her head.
Her voice was hoarse and her lips were dry: "I'm sick."
Yu Sui also realized his gaffe, and immediately sat up straight, leaning on the head of the bed: "I made porridge, you can drink some when you get up later."
"Where is Xinxin?"
"She's still sleeping, and I have the milk ready."
"Thank you."
Yu Sui turned to look at her: "You don't need to apologize to me, and you don't need to say thank you, I am willing now."
