Affectionate trapping

Chapter 116
It has been two weeks since the last conversation with Yao Manqing, because she is in a good mood, so there is not much effective communication.

When I came back this time, I found that her condition had deteriorated again.

Wen Xi chatted with her about some daily conversations before getting to the point: "Auntie, you can tell me what you are thinking recently, whether you are happy or unhappy, I will be a good listener. It will never be comfortable, and emotions need to be resolved."

Yao Manqing seemed a little embarrassed, and sighed: "Sometimes I feel quite lonely."

Wen Xi's heart sank slightly, and he had some guesses, and asked sideways: "Is uncle busy at work?"

"It's not very busy. I live with him every day. I don't see him when I look down. Even if I don't see him for ten days and a half months, I don't necessarily miss him."

Wen Xi waited patiently for her to speak.

Yao Manqing paused for a long time, and then slowly said: "When Yu Zhou was here, he often called me. Although I didn't go home often, I knew that someone cared about me. Although Yu Li has always been indifferent, but there is always Yu Zhou. Now, it can be regarded as some comfort... Now that he is gone, I feel more and more uncomfortable."

"Last time you told me about the reception ceremony, I thought over and over again, I knew that I didn't care about him, I wanted to go to him several times, or let him go home, but he refused ambiguously gone."

"Xiaoxi, I have two sons, but now one has passed away and the other is not close to me. I don't know if this is the punishment God gave me, punishing me for leaving Yuli in the countryside."

Wen Xi's teeth were slightly open, and the words were twisted repeatedly in his throat, but he couldn't find the right words to say.

She really felt that Shen Yuli had suffered a lot of grievances.

"Auntie, in fact, Shen Yuli used to be like this, but because Brother Yu Zhou is here, you automatically ignore this point. You think that having a son who treats you well and gets close to you is enough, but now that Brother Yu Zhou is gone, You just started thinking about another son."

She paused, and said softly, "Isn't this a bit too unfair to Shen Yuli?"

Wen Xi's words of selfishness carried a biased meaning. If she had followed the past, she would not have said it so clearly, but if she hadn't let it out, the other party might never realize what the problem was.

Yao Manqing was speechless, and turned to look at her.

Wen Xi stabilized his mood, afraid of being seen through, "It seems that I shouldn't say these words, if you feel uncomfortable, just pretend I didn't say anything."

She smiled a little: "You are right, I am closer to Yu Zhou."

How to say that sentence, the human heart is biased, after all, it is kept by your side, and when you get along day and night, partiality is inevitable.

Wen Xi pursed his lips.

"But Yuli is also a piece of meat that fell from me. How could I not love him or love him, but I am too strange to him, so strange that I don't know how to get along with him, even as a mother, I want to care about him." , will feel awkward and awkward.”

Wen Xi narrowed her eyes: "As long as you think about it, you can find a way." She suggested: "Isn't it almost the end of the year? He always has to go home for dinner during the New Year, right?"

Yao Manqing's eyebrows twitched slightly, "Last year, he didn't come back for the New Year."

"He didn't come back?" Wen Xi asked in surprise, "Then what is he doing?"

"...I don't know, I guess I don't want to come back."

"What did you say? Didn't you call him?"

"I shouted, and asked Yu Zhou to ask. I don't know exactly how to say it. When Yu Zhou comes back and says he doesn't want to come back, it's fine. I guess he has his own things to do, and adults have a lot of things to do."

Wen Xi's mood suddenly became very bad, and he really didn't know how to speak, so he tried his best to calm his emotions.

"Maybe you can try calling him back this year. It must be quite lonely to spend the New Year outside alone. If you feel deserted at home, he won't be happy either."

Yao Manqing pondered: "We will try our best to let him go home."

"And Auntie... Brother Yu Zhou is gone now. If you keep immersing yourself in that sadness, you will make everyone around you sad, so I think, if you sit together this year, you can have a happy new year." , Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, grasp the present more, and look at what you have now, so that you can live a comfortable life."

She said shyly, "Okay..."

Coming out of Shen's house, Wen Xi was in a downturn again.

He guards the house alone to celebrate the New Year, looking at the lights of thousands of houses in this city, will he feel that he has been abandoned at a certain moment?
If possible, she would also like to take him home for the New Year, but unfortunately not yet.

There was a little snow outside, like white flowers, and the snow melted into water when it touched the ground.

She put on her hat, covered her ears, and looked around, feeling a sense of tranquility.

Wen Xi took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the gray-brown tree branch. Behind him was the vast sky, and the intersecting white snowflakes formed a plane, as if a lot of snow was frozen in space.

When focusing, a black figure fell into the lens, she pressed the camera button, put away her phone and ran towards him.

Shen Yuli raised his arms to hug her, helped her straighten her hat, and put her cold hands in her pockets: "I'm still in the mood to take pictures, my hands have turned into ice cubes."

"This is a romantic freeze-frame. Our memories will fade with time, but the photos will not. Every time I look at the photos, I will think of today's scene and the mood at this moment. How interesting."

He pinched her red nose: "Then how are you feeling now?"

"It was not a good mood at first, but now it is a very good mood."

He lowered his eyes: "Why is it not so good?"

Wen Xi didn't return right away. After getting into the car, she felt the warmth. She rubbed her palms, took off her hat, and said, "You didn't go home for the New Year last year?"

"Ah."

"why?"

"I don't want to see their family enjoying themselves." He looked at her: "Is this answer satisfactory?"

"..." Wen Xi's eyelashes trembled slightly: "Don't be so frank, okay?"

He laughed and said, "Anyway, I'm as honest as if I've been stripped naked in front of you. What secrets can I keep from you?"

Wen Xi didn't want to comment on his weird metaphor, and asked, "If your aunt calls you home this year, do you want to go back?"

He didn't immediately deny it, "Let's talk."

She was surprised: "I thought you would refuse."

"If I go back, it's simply because I'm afraid that you will know and worry. You must go home. If I'm alone at home, what if you can't think about it and want to come back to accompany me? Then I'm guilty of a crime."

"I won't accompany you, don't be narcissistic." The corners of her lips raised uncontrollably.

Looking at the snow falling outside the window, Wen Xi drew a heart on the glass with her finger, and asked softly, "Shen Yuli, if Auntie tries hard to compensate you, can you give her a chance?"
