Pastel Colours - Chapter 32

Day1215:22

Bubu’s mother was named Lu Jin, a quiet Chinese girl who was twenty-four years old.

She and He Zhiyuan met by chance on a small interstate plane with seat number AC adjacent. He Zhiyuan did not have the habit of taking the initiative to talk to strangers. After boarding the plane, he nodded politely to her, which was regarded as a greeting.

Not long after I was seated, an old lady with white temples came across the aisle, with her back squatting and dragging a standard-sized cabin. He Zhiyuan took the initiative to help her put the cabin into the luggage rack. When she retracted her arm, she accidentally wiped a sharp object. A two-centimeter-long wound was cut in her left hand, and the blood flow continued.

Upon seeing this, Lu Jin pulled out a wet tissue and a band-aid from his bag and handed it to him.

“Clean up, it’s hot, don’t get infected.”

She said softly, in Chinese.

He Zhiyuan was startled slightly, took the tissue, nodded and smiled: “Thank you.”

The dialogue starts from this moment.

Unexpectedly, they found many common topics-mountaineering, skiing, Celtic music in Western Europe, and Warhol’s pop art. Near the four-hour voyage, Lu Jin and He Zhiyuan talked all the way, and no one was sleepy.

Before parting, they exchanged contact information. Early the next morning, He Zhiyuan received a confession call from Lu Jin.

He was really surprised at this.

Lu Jin is obviously a classical oriental girl, introverted, quiet, and her speech is rarely corroded by the unrestrained American culture. According to the character of this kind of girl, even if she really likes him, she is not likely to confess the next day. But at that time, He Zhiyuan didn’t think too much. Since he founded SwordArc, he has been busy with his career and has no time to fall in love. It is rare to meet a girl who has a common cultural background and agrees, and he quickly agreed.

Lu Jin became his girlfriend, and every move was perfect.

She lives at home and loves to laugh. She is good at cooking and piano. She speaks softly and slowly, which always relaxes those around her. She is extremely sensible, rarely acting like a baby, never asks for gifts from He Zhiyuan, and is very considerate of his work. Sometimes she can’t schedule an appointment once a week, and she doesn’t complain.

Since the contact, Lu Jin has really insisted on only one thing-He Zhiyuan’s health.

She suggested that he follow the ODPHP* nutrition table with daily breakfast and dinner, supervise him to reduce his alcohol and caffeine intake, and cancel the usual red wine before going to bed every night and replace it with freshly squeezed juice. Every weekend, she would accompany him to run, hike, and play tennis, and work out until he was sweaty and relaxed.

He Zhiyuan himself advocates a healthy lifestyle, thinking that Lu Jin is like-minded and not suspicious. It took him a long time to realize that all Lu Jin’s care was just to ensure the quality of his semen.

In the tenth week of the relationship, they went to bed for the first time.

Lu Jin is the active party.

She tempted He Zhiyuan with eager eyes, saying that she was looking forward to it. But when she got to the bed, her body became cold and stiff, and her muscles were tense, full of instinctive resistance, as if she was suffering some kind of painful punishment.

He Zhiyuan was helpless and had to get rid of it.

After that, they tried three or four times one after another. Each time, Lu Jin invited and He Zhiyuan cooperated, but each time they were not happy, so that He Zhiyuan felt guilty even after ejaculation.

In the fourteenth week of the relationship, Lu Jin left a parting letter, which disappeared from He Zhiyuan’s life.

She said sorry, she already loved something else.

He Zhiyuan admitted that he failed to fulfill her boyfriend’s responsibilities, and hoped to apologize to her and give her more or less material compensation. However, Lu Jin could not be contacted by phone or email, and even the apartment he rented before was completely moved. It was empty-his ex-girlfriend left a letter and disappeared.

He Zhiyuan waited for a few weeks, but Lu Jin never showed up again. He had to choose to let it go and let it fade away slowly.

Since there is another love, it’s better to get together and stay away.

“Is she eager to break up with you because she is pregnant?”

Songran interrupted when he heard the key point.

He Zhiyuan nodded: “Yes. I counted back from Bubu’s birthday. She should have left as soon as she found out she was pregnant.”

“But now Bobu is yours. She wants a child so much, and she is willing to talk to you about fake love. Why didn’t Bobu be taken away?”

There were more and more doubts in Songran’s heart that could not be solved.

He Zhiyuan lowered his eyes and sighed very lightly: “Because Ashley…Bubu is my own, it’s because of Ashley.”

I saw Lu Jin again, a year and five months after they broke up.

In late autumn, the front courtyard of the villa was covered with dead leaves. Lu Jin pushed a stroller there and guarded it for several hours, only to see He Zhiyuan drive home, and slowly greeted him. She was a lot thinner than before, her face was haggard, her energy was weak, her eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes, and her smooth black hair looked rough, as if she hadn’t taken care of it for a long time.

Facing He Zhiyuan, she shed tears.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Lu Jin repeatedly apologized, “Zhiyuan, I lied to you.”

He Zhiyuan lowered his head to look at the stroller, inside it was a pink bean curd. The child was awake, holding a small baby bottle in his arms, wearing a small cotton bib, his big round eyes blinking and blinking, staring at him innocently and curiously.

The child is so young and not yet one year old, but his eyebrows and nose are somewhat similar to those of He Zhiyuan.

“Who is he?”

He Zhiyuan had a premonition, and his eyes instantly fell cold.

Lu Jin didn’t dare to look directly at him, lowered his head, and dumbly gave the worst answer: “His name is Ben, his nickname is Bubu, and he is your son.”

That day, He Zhiyuan experienced the most absurd afternoon in his life.

Lu Jin sat on the sofa and confessed to him holding Bobo, begging him to spare some time from his busy schedule to take care of her children for a few days, because she really has no energy and no money anymore-her Irish girlfriend just gave birth Got a daughter, named Ashley. Three days after she was born, Ashley was diagnosed with severe tetralogy of Fallot, a congenital heart defect that was on the verge of life and death several times.

Lu Jin said that they could not give up Ashley.

The little baby girl was sick, lying in the crib, her skin was bruised and painful because of breathing difficulties, but her blue eyes showed a strong desire to survive. In the end, it was their own bones and blood. They couldn’t give up this young life. They stayed around for 24 hours, prayed for her, and figured out how to make an appointment for her with the best cardiologist, hoping that she could survive the difficulties.

Until then, He Zhiyuan realized that his ex-girlfriend was actually a lesbian.

Lu Jin and his girlfriend met on the university campus. They have been in love with each other for more than six years. They both love children. Therefore, they have a beautiful idea: each has a baby, preferably a boy and a girl, raised together as a partner, forming a happy four. People family. The original intention of this idea was harmless, but they had irreconcilable differences in the way of obtaining sperm: Lu Jin wanted to apply for a sperm bank, but for religious reasons, his girlfriend insisted that the child should be conceived naturally through sex.

In the end Lu Jin compromised.

While living a normal life, they pay attention to searching for the “ideal sperm”. Lu Jin met He Zhiyuan and spent ten weeks in close contact with him to make sure that his IQ, character, and body are good enough to start. Her girlfriend took it lightly and found a handsome guy with blond hair and blue eyes in the bar for one night stand. .

After Ashley was born, they knew that the handsome guy was a heavy drug addict. There were no taboos for spirits and marijuana, and he was not suitable for offspring.

But it was too late.

They have made mistakes and can only devote everything to make up for. Ashley must undergo surgery as soon as possible, although the risks are huge, the postoperative recovery may not be smooth. After all, time and money are limited. The youngest daughter needs meticulous accompaniment. The half-year-old Boob is only a little bit older, petite and fragile, so she starts to cry at every turn.

They tried to do both, but found that they couldn’t do it.

In desperation, Lu Jin had to bring Bobu, and begged He Zhiyuan to accept Bobu on the basis of the blood-line relationship and take care of him for a period of time.

She said: “When Ashley is healed, or not very ill, as long as we can take care of it, we must take Bobu back. But during this time, we really…really have no choice!”

He Zhiyuan looked at Bobu, but didn’t speak for a long time.

After a while, he took out his cell phone and called the assistant, asking him to buy baby supplies. Then, in an unfamiliar and awkward posture, he took the soft baby from Lu Jin’s arms.

In this way, during He Zhiyuan’s 27-year-old career ascendancy, Bobu was like a long-tailed meteor, with a good smell of milk, “booming” into his arms without warning and without denial. , Smashed him into disgrace and turned him into a single dad who is not cool and unrestrained.

During that time, the code was reporting crazy errors, the project was crazy delayed, and He Zhiyuan’s life was almost all bugs.

Bobo is still too young, and has just left his mother’s arms, feeling insecure in his heart, and will have to make a fuss every few hours, grabbing He Zhiyuan’s collar and crying for milk, howling, the volume is almost 100 Twenty decibels. He Zhiyuan had never raised a cat or puppy, let alone deal with this son who fell from the sky. He took care of him for two days. He was so overwhelmed that he was really overwhelmed. He had to hire a full-time nanny at a high salary to stay home for 24 hours. Can barely sleep a full sleep.

That year was the most critical year for He Zhiyuan’s career. He often flew around the world, even if he was not on a business trip, he had to work nine to nine places, and he didn’t have much time to accompany Bubu.

Boob stayed at home, watched by the nanny, and grew up quietly while chasing squirrels and hummingbirds passing by the backyard.

He can jump, laugh, and call father.

Every time He Zhiyuan comes home, Boob sticks to him like a little bug, from the living room to the kitchen, and then from the bedroom to the toilet. As long as He Zhiyuan sat down, Bubu crawled and rubbed his trouser legs, calling his father affectionately, opened his small arms, and said coquettishly: “Daddy hug!”

He Zhiyuan bends down and hugs him, and he will be kissed **** the cheek.

He was surprised.

The instincts of father and son are really wonderful. He actually doesn’t have much time for Bubu, but Bubu still loves him, much more than he thought.

Every once in a while, as short as a week or as long as one month, He Zhiyuan would take Bobu to visit Ashley.

Ashley has grown up too, and she is very beautiful-her hair is slightly curly, she is light golden, her eyes are sea blue, and she is as clear as water. The only drawback is her skin, as white as porcelain, with a little less rosy blood, and looks unhealthy.

She underwent corrective surgery before the full moon, and her condition remained unstable after the operation, with good and bad times. Most of the time, she could not run and jump. But she was more optimistic than everyone thought, always smiling, showing deep dimples, and four cute tiger teeth.

Ashley knew that Bubu was her brother since she was a child, and He Zhiyuan was Bubu’s father.

She has two mothers but no father.

So once, in a cautious and shy manner, she followed Bobu and called out “Dad”. He Zhiyuan smiled faintly, recognized this unrelated daughter, knelt in front of her on one knee, kissed her forehead, and gave her a puppy doll and a bag of cotton candy.

Ashley accepted the gift with a rare blush on her face.

“Mom, this is Dad.” She turned her head and said to Lu Jin happily, “Ashley has a father!”

Lu Jin silently said thank you to He Zhiyuan.

He Zhiyuan waved his hand, indicating that he did not need to say thanks.

Over the years, Lu Jin has always felt guilty for the deception at the beginning, but He Zhiyuan himself doesn’t mind. His life hasn’t been smooth, and he has been able to carry more weight on his shoulders than the weak Lu Jin. Bubu’s birth disrupted his rhythm of life, but did not bring any real turbulence. On the other hand, Lu Jin’s family was financially struggling to see Ashley. In addition to frequent visits, he would regularly help Ashley pay part of the treatment fee.

Anyway, Ashley is not wrong.

Since the two pairs of small footprints have been stepped on side by side since birth, they should grow up healthy together and have the qualifications to run in the sun.

In the 8012A living room, Da Mao Dangzi jumped off the sofa, stretched a enchanting waist on the floor, and flung his tail to the balcony to find Bobo to play.

Songran grabbed a pillow to fill the space, and rubbed two of them: “What happened later? Ashley got better. Didn’t Bobu’s mother take Bobu back?”

“She mentioned it once, but she also knew that Boob couldn’t agree to leave me.”

The curtains were blown by the wind and flicked softly from the ears.

He Zhiyuan raised her head to look at the shadow of the tree, with a lazy smile in her voice: “Who the child grows up with is always easier to lean towards whom. This is not affected by blood. I think she is determined to make Bobu When it was delivered, it should have been prepared for not being able to pick it back…Huh? What’s wrong, I heard you breathe a sigh of relief.”

As soon as He Zhiyuan finished asking, he suddenly realized something and smiled: “Afraid she would **** the baby from you?”

“Who’s scared!” Songran guilty of heart, raised his hand to flatten the pillow in half, “I have confidence in Bubu!”

“That couldn’t be better.”

He Zhiyuan closed the sliding door, returned to the living room, and sat down relaxed on the sofa. The half-full wine glass swayed in front of his eyes: “It’s actually good to be clear about Bubu’s mother. You care about Bubu so much, I Occasionally I wonder, if you don’t have a bottom in your heart, would you be tempted to make an imaginary enemy and be full of riches and grievances to **** children’s drama or something.”

Songran’s face was red and white, and he wanted to curse.

What is it, guess so accurate!
