Bai Su's happy and bright smile froze on his face the moment he saw Mu Chenxi.
This is... the morning light?
Shocked eyes fell on her flat belly.
Counting the months, the child was not born so early.
Where is the child?
Bai Su couldn't believe his eyes.
She looked at Mu Chenxi, who was so thin that she could be blown away by a gust of wind, and her eyes instantly turned red.
She murmured distressedly, "Morning light..."
If the face and voice in front of him weren't so familiar, Bai Su wouldn't dare to recognize them.
Chen Xi, who hates wearing formal clothes the most, is wearing professional attire.
She dislikes the hassle of makeup and always likes to go out without makeup, with light makeup that suits her.
My cheeks, which used to be fleshy, have lost weight.
Her pretty short hair makes her face smaller.
Chen Xi's whole person changed drastically, she was completely different from the person she was a few months ago.
There was a smile on her lips, but it could be seen that the smile was very difficult.
That bright and sunny girl, the light in her eyes was completely gone.
Bai Su's heart was in knots for a moment, and he bit his lip hard, trying his best to suppress his emotions.
"Susu."
Mu Chenxi saw that Bai Su's eyes were red and full of distress, so she took the initiative to step forward and stretched out her arms to hug her.
The moment he was hugged, Bai Su recovered from the shock.
With red eyes and shaking hands, he stretched out his arms to hug Mu Chenxi back.
He spoke with a cry in his voice, "Chen Xi, what's wrong with you?"
The hands holding Mu Chenxi felt her slenderness, and her heart ached more and more.
In just a few short months, how could her morning light become like this?
Mu Chenxi also tightened her arms and rested her chin on Bai Su's shoulder, feeling the long-lost warmth.
But she only let herself be greedy for a few seconds and then let go.
In fact, she wanted to hug Susu and confide in her like before.
Her sadness, how painful and tired she was during this period, and how difficult it was to get to this point.
But when the words came to his lips, they turned into a faint sentence, "I'm fine, everything is over."
Just say "I'm fine" and it's all over.
It stung Bai Su's heart even more.
She looked at Mu Chenxi, holding her cold hand tightly, feeling guilty and distressed, and her eyes were getting redder and redder.
Even if Chen Xi didn't tell her, she didn't know what happened to her while she was away.
All she knew was that seeing the morning light like this made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
The girl who was born facing the sun and talked about the joy in the world, who lived enthusiastically, disappeared.
It was because of the pain that her smile became so forced.
"I'm really fine. Look at me, aren't I fine now?"
Mu Chenxi squeezed Bai Su's hand comfortingly.
They are best friends, so she naturally knows that Su Su feels sorry for her.
But she got through the most painful days.
No one was there when she needed someone by her side the most.
She forced herself to learn to be strong alone and learn to digest all the pain and sadness by herself.
After she stopped relying on everyone, she was no longer used to talking.
"Um."
Bai Su responded in a low voice.
She still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
The two knew each other too well. She didn't want to tell, and Bai Su wouldn't press. She held Mu Chenxi's hand tightly and said, "You are hungry, let's go eat."
Lead her to the reserved restaurant.
In the past, when the two of them went out to eat, Mu Chenxi ordered the food, but today Bai Su ordered the food.
I ordered a lot of Mu Chenxi’s favorite food and filled the table.
Keep picking up food for her.
Mu Chenxi was also very cooperative and ate a lot.
After eating, Bai Su's fiancé Huo Lingfeng came to pick her up.
Bai Su wanted to see her off, so Mu Chenxi made an excuse to have an appointment at night. She hugged Bai Su, promised to meet up again when she had time, and turned around to leave.
Bai Su watched Mu Chenxi's thin figure disappear from his sight, and his eyes turned red again.
A pair of arms gently hugged her, and Bai Su threw herself into Huo Lingfeng's arms uncomfortably.
Huo Lingfeng raised his big hand and patted her back comfortingly, his movements gentle and endearing.
But in the night, those eyes that usually looked at Bai Su with love, when she couldn't see them, there was no trace of love in them.
…
Mu Chenxi did not go directly to take the subway, but found a park and sat down on a bench.
He took out the cigarette case from his bag and lit one.
He forced himself to cool down the hot blood that surged out when he saw Su Su.
She was always reminding herself not to rely on her, not even Susu.
No one will always be by your side, and once people become dependent, they will become weak.
She should no longer be weak or dependent.
Quitting dependence is really difficult and painful.
Mu Chenxi quietly smoked a cigarette until her blood returned to extremely cold, then she got up and took the subway home.
…
When she woke up early in the morning, Fu Yanshen was not waiting for her on the sofa downstairs.
Mu Chenxi didn't care. Just as she was about to go out, her aunt stopped her, "Mrs."
"Um?"
Mu Chenxi looked over and saw her aunt walking towards her and handing her a piece of paper, "Madam, this is what the husband asked me to give to you."
"He asked me to tell you that he didn't throw away any of the baby's belongings. If you want to go and see it, you can go at any time."
Mu Chenxi's pupils were obviously shaken.
Didn’t you throw away the baby’s things?
"The code for the door lock is the same as here."
Mu Chenxi looked at the piece of paper, and finally reached out to take it and pinch it.
Without saying much, he opened the door and went to work directly.
It was another busy day. After finishing his work, Mu Chenxi packed up his things and left the company.
Got on the subway.
One stop after another.
Mu Chenxi stopped in front of Liyuejing Xiyuan, but couldn't help it and walked out with the flow of people.
She couldn't control her legs and wanted to see it.
Fu Yanshen greeted him in advance, and Mu Chenxi was let go as soon as he arrived.
She walked into the community, stopped in front of the door, slowly raised her hand and entered the password.
The sound of the combination lock being unlocked sounded, and she opened it and walked in.
Standing in the entrance hall and turning on the lights, Mu Chenxi looked at the familiar layout. All the things she thought she had thrown away were here.
Mu Chenxi's vision slowly became blurry.
Because she expected too much and loved too much, she felt so painful when she lost him.
I know I should let go and look forward.
But she couldn't let go.
She walked in slowly and gently touched the baby products inside.
There is actually nothing special about these, you can actually buy the same ones outside.
However, in Mu Chenxi's eyes, these things were hand-picked by her for her baby, and they were all unique.
That's why I felt so uncomfortable when I found out Fu Yanshen threw it away.
The furnishings here are exactly the same as those in the nursery at home.
She knew deep down whose hand it came from.
She would not radically think that Fu Yanshen was acting.
After all, he still misunderstood her at that time.
He did this because he loved their children as much as she did.
He was equally sad about the lost baby.
He kept these, just like her, he wanted to keep some thoughts.
And today he asked his aunt to give her the key and let her come over. She knew the purpose very well.
Everything he does these days is trying to save things.
Save a relationship that has come to an end.
…
Fu Yanshen's car was actually parked downstairs, waiting for Mu Chenxi.
He watched her go upstairs and sit in the car waiting.
After waiting for a long time, no one came down.
He had selfish motives for letting Chen Xi come here. He wanted her to be soft-hearted, listen to him, and retreat a little.
However, seeing that she never came down, I still couldn't help but worry.
I'm worried that she will break her body from crying when she sees the child's things.
After opening the door and getting out of the car, Fu Yanshen went upstairs.
Enter the password and open the door.
At a glance, he saw Mu Chenxi squatting beside the crib. She lowered her head and he couldn't see her expression clearly.
He slowly walked over, half-knelt down behind her, stretched out his arms tentatively, and carefully hugged her gently from behind.
Seeing that Mu Chenxi did not resist, Fu Yanshen tightened his arms tremblingly, put his chin on her neck, and softly prayed in her ear, "Chenxi, please, forgive me, okay?"
