C159

Yu Meng didn't feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, she looked at the sleeping child and liked him a lot.

"Then be more gentle. He should be crying when you wake him up."

When talking about children, the driver's face was full of happiness.

The driver did not look old, but he looked very old. It was not easy to raise a child, let alone a generation of young people. But the tiredness on his brow was soft, with an unutterable warmth.

Yu Meng felt sad. People only felt sad when they saw happiness.

Speaking of the child, the silent driver seemed to start a conversation about the fun of going to his wife's pregnancy. After the child was born, the newbie parents were at a loss, talking nonstop.

Yu Meng was also happy to hear it. She looked at the child and listened to the story. It was as if she could feel the truest and most bland happiness of the family of three.

A woman chasing after her whole life, in the end she could only think of this.

Three meals a day, family of three.

If she and Tan Yubai had been together for a year and a half, maybe he wouldn't have gone to the Sri Lanka on his own, wouldn't have provoked the dangerous LTTE, and definitely wouldn't have had to deal with everything that happened afterwards.

He wouldn't meet Shen Nian, and she wouldn't tangle with her.

Sigh, but how could there be so many things in life? The beautiful scenery of the morning had been betrayed, and between them … It wouldn't be any worse.

When Yu Meng returned to her rented bachelor apartment, she was alone. She liked small, quiet rooms.

He didn't know when this problem had begun.

When she opened the door, Yu Meng felt as if someone had come into the room.

The sofa in the living room had its back to the door, and the man was sitting there, only exposing half of his head to Yu Meng. She took off her shoes and turned on the light.

In the dark she knew who it was.

After all these years, she could even recognize him when he turned to ash, to use ugly words.

The sudden bright light seemed to make that person feel uncomfortable. He raised his hand to block his eyes. It was probably because he had been sitting in the darkness for too long.

He heard someone coming and did not look back.

Yu Meng didn't head in the direction of the living room. Instead, she hung her bag at the door before heading back to the kitchen to get some food to eat.

At this moment, the two of them were actually calmer than ever.

There was nothing in the fridge, only the leftover noodles. When she poured water into the pot, she hesitated.

He turned around and left the kitchen. Facing his back, he asked, "Have you eaten dinner?"

The man opened his mouth. His voice was already hoarse to the extreme, making people feel uncomfortable listening to him.

"Nope."

Yu Meng didn't reply. She went back to the kitchen and filled the pot with water.

It was just a simple cooking noodles; there were no eggs in the house. It was unknown how long the noodles had been in the kitchen for, but even if it was cooked, it would not be obvious whether it was good or bad. It was just like how she could not tell whether he was angry or regretful in the dark.

Yu Meng carried two bowls of noodles out of the kitchen. She forced herself to be expressionless and walked into the living room. There were several times where she felt her fingers tremble, but when she saw Tan Yubai's face, she did not have such a strong reaction.

This face had been there for so many years, but it had never changed.

"Let's eat them while they're still alive." She handed him a pair of chopsticks. The atmosphere was quiet and harmonious, like an old couple who had lived for many years. They were speechless because they were so plain that they had finished speaking.

When Yu dreamed of coming back, the driver and the adorable child in the taxi felt a pang of discomfort.

Tan Yubai did not say much, he only focused on eating his noodles, and in a moment, he had finished drinking the soup.

As Yu Meng looked at him, she suddenly couldn't hold it in any longer.

"I've cooked for you for so many years, but it's the most ordinary bowl of noodles that you've ever eaten."

She brought him food, years ago.

She did not ask him what he was doing here tonight. She was afraid that she and Shang Hui might have something going on. She was afraid that he would say yes, that he would really doubt her.

After all, as a member of the LTTE, entering an ordinary family's house was not a difficult task.

After dinner, Yu Meng went back to her room to sleep.

She changed into her nightdress. The weather had long since warmed up, and she was covered only by a thin blanket of velvet. The light in the room was dim and she did not lock the door. Tan Yubai opened the door and entered.

As she lay on her side, she felt the bed behind her sink in. She could still feel the heat of her palms through the thin blanket that covered her body.

Tan Yubai opened his mouth, in the dark night, his voice was like a feather being thrown onto the ground, he was at a loss.

"Everything Shang Hui said is right. I did not cherish you well, I have always hurt you, dragged you down, I was so selfish and so arrogant, I could never learn to think from your perspective, I caused you to suffer so much, you don't even have the qualifications to hope that you will turn around. I also know that I should not look for you, and looking for you will only allow you to continue feeling wronged. Tan Yubai had said so much. Perhaps, in his entire life, he had never thought that he would have so much to say now. Yu Meng forgot to listen to it.

He said, "But I can't bear to. I can't bear to put you down. "

With that kind of logic, everything is split by the right and wrong Tan Yubai. In his entire life, there was only one thing he knew that was wrong, but he just could not control it.

Yu Meng felt that the hand Tan Yubai placed on her body was burning into her heart. Every time she had thought about giving up on him, he would casually take her hand. He was too warm, and once he hugged her, she would never want to leave.

Suddenly, so many years had passed.

In the darkness, a complicated atmosphere surged up. Yu Meng opened her mouth, but suddenly, she started talking about something insignificant.

"When I came back today, the driver of the taxi was lying in a thick quilt with his son, a baby, and the smell of milk all over him."

Tan Yubai leaned forward, and wrapped his arms around Yu Meng as he quietly listened.

"He said that his wife liked to eat sour plums when she was pregnant and wanted the most sour ones. He said that he couldn't even stand a single lick, but his wife could eat an entire box at a time."

As she spoke, Yu Meng suddenly choked with sobs. Her eyes began to feel sore; it was the sour water that was gushing out from the bottom of her heart.

She felt Tan Yubai's grip on her hands tighten by a bit as she calmed her emotions. She took a deep breath, but her voice still couldn't help but tremble a little.

"He talked all the way, and when he talked, there was a smile in the corner of his eyes. I didn't dare to look at him, for fear that I would go crazy with envy when I saw the happiness slowly grow in his eyes."

She had always remembered everything he had given her, and she had spent all of her youth for it. But what she wanted the most was to this day that she discovered that she had never obtained it.

When she was young, she wanted this man, but the more she lived, the more she regretted it. Just now, in the car, she thought that if he exchanged Tan Yubai for her with a peaceful marriage, she wouldn't agree, but she hesitated, thinking that she would agree to it. But now, being hugged like this by Tan Yubai, she regretted it again, as if she had returned to that stubborn girl from back then.

Tan Yubai could not endure long enough to finish speaking all of her words. The pain was intense, as though his heart had been dug out of his body.

"Little Meng, don't say anymore."

Yu Meng started to feel stubborn. She felt that before she could say a lot of things, she wouldn't be able to say anything else.

I don't dare to say it when I miss you, and I don't dare to go even if I want to. I became more and more timid and cautious, afraid that one day you would disappear and leave me alone in the room. When I finish talking, I'll still have some comfort when I'm alone and can't sleep.

"Yubai, if our married life had really followed the most ordinary and common plot, you would not be suspected of cheating, and I would not argue with you all day. Instead, they would peacefully give birth to their children. For the sake of their child's growth, they would work together to send him to school and teach him to read. Tell me, will we be happy? "

"Yes."

Tan Yubai said one word, his eyes closed.

"I will let Shen Nian's matter come to an end." Tan Yubai hugged Yu Meng, and said each word with absolute certainty, "We will have children, many many many children."

Yu Meng did not want to talk about Shen Nian at this time. The name seemed to have become a curse in her heart, and she felt uncomfortable whenever she mentioned it.

She simply turned around and nestled into Tan Yubai's embrace.

"We're all exhausted. Go to sleep."

Tan Yubai kept his eyes closed the whole time, while Yu Meng followed the moonlight. All these years, time did not seem to leave any traces on his face, he was still the same as before. It was clearly not easy to get close to him, and love and worry were all hidden in his heart.

She always knew that his good points weren't on the surface, and there wasn't anything concrete that could be described with words. However, at this moment, his reluctance to leave her was the best proof.

As usual, Tan Yubai's eyebrows were knitted tightly together into a knot. Yu Meng couldn't help but raise her hand to help him smooth it over, but she was suddenly held by the wrist and kissed on the lips repeatedly.

The humidity and temperature around his lips made Yu Meng uncomfortable. However, when she looked at him, she saw that the space between his eyebrows was gradually relaxing, so she didn't say anything more.

He was truly exhausted. He was truly exhausted. Holding onto Yu Meng, he gradually felt more comfortable.

He kissed her hand, satisfied.

"Only by being by your side will I be able to truly sleep soundly."

This sentence caused Yu Meng's heart to be filled with complex emotions.

They had been together for so many years, experiencing countless trials and tribulations that were difficult for others to accomplish. Every time they had been stuck on the line between life and death, he would say these words while holding on to Yu Meng with exhaustion.

It was as if he had gone through countless difficulties just to hug that person.

There was nothing they couldn't get through.
