He and Yun Shishi ran back to the kitchen and lay on the kitchen counter, drooling over the fresh beef.
Mu Qingcheng would urge them to wash their hands as she continued to prepare dinner with a smile.
When the hotpot was ready and served to the table, the two little guys gobbled up the hotpot. They were not afraid of being scalded at all.
As Mu Qingcheng ate, she would suddenly stare at the empty table in a daze.
The table in the rental house was a typical square table with the two little guys sitting on each side.
Naturally, one side of the table would be empty.
Mu Qingcheng would often stand up, take out a set of cutlery, and place it on the table as if she had completed some kind of pious ritual.
She had always wanted to have a family.
The family she wanted was not a luxurious one. She only wanted a family of a few people, healthy and safe.
Sometimes, Yun Shishi would lie on the windowsill with her and stare in a certain direction without moving.
She knew that her mother was waiting for someone.
A man.
And she knew that this man was her and Xiao Jie's father.
But no matter how much she waited and hoped, she could not find him.
Sometimes, Yun Shishi would accompany her mother and wait by the window. Gradually, she would get sleepy and lie on her arm with her eyes closed, half-asleep.
In a daze, she saw her mother suddenly run out. Through the yellow afternoon window, she saw her mother throw herself into the arms of a man without a care for her own safety.
The man was very tall with a pair of straight legs. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. His every movement gave people a sense of security.
This was something that Yun Shishi, who had been living a homeless life, had never dreamed of.
She tried hard to raise her head to see the man's face, but just as she raised her head, she woke up.
At that time, she was looking out of the window in a daze. She did not realize that the scene just now was just her hallucination.
She could not help but feel a little disappointed.
She turned around and saw that her mother was still sitting beside her. She held her chin and looked out of the window as if she could not get tired of looking.
Yun Shishi raised her head and looked at her mother. She pouted and said sadly, "I had a dream just now."
"Hmm? What dream? "
"I dreamt of a man standing outside the door. Then you pounced on him and the two of you hugged each other …"
She would never forget the look on her mother's face when she heard those words.
She stared at her in astonishment, tears welling up in her widened eyes.
Her heart ached so much that she pulled Yun Shishi into her arms. Suddenly, she broke down and felt so sad that it was as if there was a fishbone stuck in her throat.
"Mom, is the person you're waiting for Dad?"
Yun Shishi asked curiously, "When is he coming to pick us up?"
Hearing this, Mu Qingcheng couldn't hold back her tears.
At that time, she vaguely realized it.
This man, perhaps she would never be able to wait for him in this lifetime?
All this time, she had deliberately ignored and never considered this problem. Now, it was once again placed in front of her.
Would she … never be able to wait for him …
"I can't wait any longer …"
Mu Qingcheng muttered to herself. She seemed to be comforting her, but at the same time, she seemed to be convincing herself.
"I can't wait any longer. Mommy doesn't want to wait any longer …"
However, his prophecy came true.
She really didn't get to see him.
…
Gong Jie leaned against the door. Suddenly, his heart palpitated violently.
Mother …
He could not bear to recall every frown, every smile, every voice and every face.
