Chapter 740: family
Chapter 740 Family
The cave became quiet again, except for the occasional beeping sound from the fire.
Li Lei didn't know what he was thinking about. It wasn't until Shao Hui called "Dad?" that he came back to his senses.
"How come daddy disowns you?" He smiled and touched his son's little head soothingly, "Whether you can call daddy openly or not, you are daddy's precious son. The ceremony of the wishful knot, no matter what Whether it can be completed or not, your position in my heart will not change."
Little Shaohui seemed a little confused: "But, without this ceremony, our family of three would not be able to be together openly. You and your mother..."
"With this ceremony, can your mother and I be able to live together openly?" Li Lei seemed to be asking the child, but also seemed to be asking himself, "Yes, with this ceremony, it can be announced to the outside world that you are ours. A biological son allows me to pursue her more directly...but this is just a means."
Shao Hui looked at him in confusion.
Li Lei's voice was very soft: "Dad has hurt your mother before, and it's normal for her to refuse to forgive me. If she keeps refusing to forgive me... no matter how many methods are used, it will only cause trouble for her. There is no need to do this. Your lives are on the line, so Dad proposed to go down the mountain."
He will chase her within the scope of ensuring her safety. However, if she is in danger, he would rather give up some pursuit and only guard her from a distance. In his heart, her safety always comes first.
The cave fell silent again.
Xia Ling lay on her side in a corner of the cave, unable to fall asleep. So, was this the reason why Li Lei refused to continue going up the mountain? For some reason, she felt a sore and swollen feeling in her heart, which was very uncomfortable.
She was suddenly not sure why she had to take her child up the mountain. As Li Lei said, is it worth it just for a status? Her thoughts were a little confused, and there was something floating faintly, but she couldn't catch it.
The only thing she was sure of was that she still wanted to go up the mountain.
The warm light of the fire danced in the cave, and the woody aroma of burning dry wood filled the ears and nose.
She heard Li Lei say to Shao Hui: "It's getting late, go to bed."
The little child obediently agreed and lay down not far from her.
There was a rustling sound, and it seemed that Li Lei was pulling the sleeping bag on the child.
“Dad,” the child asked one last time before going to sleep, “will you protect us all the way to the top of the mountain?”
In the silence, Li Lei seemed to smile: "Yes. As long as you and your mother want to go somewhere, no matter how dangerous it is, I will protect it to the end."
The child slept peacefully.
Xia Ling's nose was slightly sore.
This sentence evoked so many things in her mind. When they first met, he saved her several times from Pei Ziheng, and later when he risked his life to rescue her when filming a paragliding commercial, and when she fell into the water during an outdoor variety show, he also fished her out...
There is also the wild wolf incident that just happened not long ago.
She could hardly count how many times he had saved her.
Over the years, this man has been living in her heart without knowing it. When she sees him, she feels so safe, as if she is not afraid of the sky falling. So, when he killed the hungry wolf with one knife yesterday, she immediately fell into his arms and cried, because she knew that his arms were the safest place in the world.
There, she can put away all her last resort ferocity and pretense.
She suddenly understood something. She wanted to go to the top of the mountain and to be recognized as a family. Perhaps it was not to recognize Shao Hui, who had been raised by her side for a long time, but to tell the world confidently that the father of her child was him. .
Li Lei.
This name is turning over and over in my heart. I don’t know when, it has already replaced Pei Ziheng.
When Li Lei said he wanted to return, she was so angry because she was not afraid that he would not recognize Shao Hui. What she was more afraid of was that he no longer loved her. This realization made her a little panicked.
His body was slightly heavier, and something seemed to be covered on the sleeping bag, probably his clothes.
She didn't dare to move, for fear that he would find that she was still asleep, and the person next to her seemed to have not left, so he sat down in the open space beside her. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to be able to feel his presence through the sleeping bag and the cold outside air, exuding warm body heat.
In a daze, he fell asleep.
When she woke up, she glanced at her waterproof watch and saw that it was already four o'clock in the morning.
She was so excited that she fell asleep too late. It was her turn to keep watch long ago. Why didn't Li Lei wake her up? When he opened his sleeping bag, he saw that Li Lei had already fallen asleep, but there was still a warm and bright fire in the cave. A small figure was sitting in front of the fire, staring in the direction of the cave entrance in a daze.
“Shaohui?” She walked over.
Xiao Shaohui turned around and saw her, a smile bloomed on his baby-fat little face: "Mom, are you awake? Look at the star over there, isn't it pretty?"
Xia Ling didn't want to look at the stars. She frowned and asked, "Why are you keeping watch?"
How can such a young child do such hard work?
Shao Hui tilted his head: "Dad said that a man must learn to watch the night."
Xia Ling was speechless. How could such a young child be considered a rough man?
“Your father woke you up?” Her tone was a little unkind.
Xiao Shaohui blinked, weighed it in his mind, and decisively decided to sell his father, "Yes." In fact, it was his father who felt sorry for his mother, so he woke him up and told him to let her sleep a little longer. Last night, her mother was because of Worried about getting lost, he didn't sleep well.
Xiao Shaohui wanted to protest that he couldn't sleep well after playing with the boa constrictor all night, but after seeing the determined look on his father's face, he had no choice but to get up from his sleeping bag aggrievedly.
Wow, father is abusing children.
Now that his mother asked about it, he added some jealousy: "Dad also asked me not to tell you what I really want. He said that if you ask, just tell me that I woke up in the middle of my sleep and took the initiative to ask for the night watch."
Xia Ling's face turned dark instantly.
The slightest affection for Li Lei that he had before falling asleep disappeared in an instant. He ordered Shao Hui with a stern face: "Go to bed." He took on the responsibility of keeping vigil.
"Oh." Xiao Shaohui went to bed happily. As expected, a mother's child is a treasure.
As for dad? Huh, he's not worried. Mom will be angry for a while and it will pass. Later, she will think of how much her dad loves and protects her, and he denies her relatives because of her, oh oh oh.
Xiao Shaohui hugged his little sleeping bag and fell asleep soon.
In fact, I didn’t sleep for long, and it was dawn soon. When he woke up, he saw his father making breakfast with his head hanging down, as if he had been scolded by someone. But my mother still had a dark face, but she helped my father tear open biscuits and boil snow water.
That’s right.
Xiao Shaohui nodded to himself in a mature manner, and his uncle said that when young couples quarrel, they quarrel at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed.
Look, how harmonious it is.
Tomorrow is the college entrance examination. I don’t know if there are still candidates reading today. I wish you all the best results in the exam. I will wait for you to return as the king in three days. Come on!
