Chapter 278 She is the cutest star
On the rooftop of the Bo Building, Bo Yuchen stood quietly, watching the Happy New Year flashing on the display screen opposite. The young people in the square were cheering for the arrival of the new year and praying for the future.
But he didn't know what else he could wish for in the future that he could see.
Bo Yuchen closed his eyes.
Snowflakes fell heavily, sticking to my skin and melting into cold water.
He felt that something was disappearing from his life, but it was difficult to tell what it was.
All I know is that the feeling is so empty that it makes me want to cry.
This was a feeling he had never experienced in his almost fifty years of life.
He took out his cell phone and called Shi Xing.
"The number you dialed is currently unavailable..."
The cold mechanical female voice made the night even colder.
He called Bo Jinran again and when the call was connected, he said in a normal tone, "It's getting late. When will you and your sister be home?"
"dad……"
Bo Jinran's voice was particularly hoarse, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, "Xingxing and Ayan went out to play. They said they wanted to travel around the world and would come back when they had enough fun."
"so……"
Bo Yuchen curled his lips and said, "Traveling around the world is great, so let her go and have fun."
He didn't ask any more questions and hung up the phone.
Then he sent a message to Shi Xing, typing slowly, word by word: "Be safe and have fun. Dad... I'll be waiting for you to come back."
After hanging up the phone, he looked up at the sky again. The fireworks were brilliant, and he suddenly wanted to make a wish.
I just wish: the stars will shine all night long, and I will return home early.
It was almost dawn when Bo Yuchen returned to the villa.
When passing by Shi Xing's bedroom, he paused, turned around and opened Shi Xing's bedroom door.
She and Qi Chenyan have been in this world for two years, from having nothing to having a room filled to the brim.
Of course, there are more things related to Shi Xing.
Although he says he is an adult, he still loves all kinds of dolls. There are all kinds of plush dolls on the windowsill, bed, and furry carpet.
The camera she used was still on the desk, her laptop was uncovered, and books were scattered around it in a messy manner.
It was as if she was really just going on a long trip and would be back soon.
It was thin in Yuchen's throat and when he swallowed it, the sourness became even stronger.
He walked to the bed, picked up Shi Xing's favorite rabbit doll, and brought it back to his room.
He placed the doll on the bed and sat beside it, looking at it for a long time. Then he took out his phone and called his assistant, simply instructing him, "Bring An Mingyu over."
The assistant was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he had already hung up the phone.
The assistant stared at the hung-up call for a long time and realized something was wrong.
Why did Boss suddenly want to bring An Mingyu here?
He had previously reported the matter of An Mingyu and Qi Muci to the Boss, but the Boss had no reaction. He just said that if she wanted to go, then let her go, and he didn't need to bother her anymore in the future.
Although he promised An Mingyu that he would take care of her and give her what she wanted.
But since An Mingyu wanted to make another choice, he couldn't stop him.
It was obvious that the Boss had completely let go of An Mingyu.
Why do you suddenly want to bring her here now?
The assistant felt something was wrong, so he called Bo Jinran.
When Bo Jinran heard him say that Bo Yuchen was going to bring An Mingyu over, he frowned.
He probably guessed something.
Closing his eyes, he sighed helplessly, "Don't worry about him, and don't go find An Mingyu. I'll go talk to him."
The assistant was sensitive enough to sense that something was indeed wrong, but his professionalism allowed him to know what to ask and what not to ask, so he simply said, "Okay, young master."
Bo Jinran hung up the phone. Lu Tian, who was sitting on the bed flipping through a photo album, looked up at him with red eyes. "Dad asked someone to bring An Mingyu here. Does he want An Mingyu to have a baby?"
"probably."
Bo Jinran also had a headache.
Shi Xing and Qi Chenyan passed away so suddenly, it was a blow to all of them.
After Lu Tian came back, she looked through the photo album and saw the photos they had taken before. She cried and told him that they had really been there and it was not a dream.
This world also has proof that they have been here.
All their photos and videos are kept.
It makes people feel that these two people are just going out to play, and they haven't disappeared from the trajectory of time and space.
It was indeed difficult for Lu Tian to accept such a result.
She couldn't even imagine that she would never see those two people again in her life.
Those two people were like the brightest light that suddenly broke into their lives, changed their lives, and then left without saying goodbye.
She had been crying for most of the night, and Bo Jinran didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only carry her back, give her a bath, coax her to bed, and then accompany her to look at photos for a long time.
As for Bo Yuchen, although he didn't say anything in the previous phone call, Bo Jinran knew that he must have guessed it.
When Shi Xing left, he should have said goodbye to him.
Bo Yuchen's suffering will be greater than theirs.
Because Bo Jinran knew that Bo Yuchen really loved Shi Xing very much. Perhaps the older people get, the more they like their daughters, let alone such a lovely daughter.
She is a daughter who has never been loved by her father since childhood.
Bo Yuchen was full of the desire to make amends and wanted to find all the good things in the world for his daughter. As long as his daughter liked it, he would give her anything.
In fact, even Bo Jinran would feel jealous occasionally.
But he also knows.
For Bo Yuchen, knowing how lonely his father is now, Shi Xing is not only making up for it, but Shi Xing is also filling his loneliness.
Those are things that are difficult for him as a son to do and express.
It was like he couldn't hug Bo Yuchen every day and say, "Dad, I love you."
Whenever he thought about it, he got goosebumps all over his body.
So he could also understand why Bo Yuchen loved Shi Xing.
I understand more clearly what Shi Xing's departure means to Bo Yuchen.
It means that he will continue to be lonely for the rest of his life, without any tenderness or expectations.
Bo Jinran lowered his eyes and gently stroked Lu Tian's hair. "Okay, it's dawn now. Why don't you go to bed first?"
"I can not sleep."
Lu Tian leaned her head on his shoulder and said, "As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw them. I regret it so much now. The last thing I said to Xingxing was complaints."
Lu Tian still couldn't accept it, "How could she be so cruel and not even say goodbye to me?"
"She said it."
Bo Jinran gently combed her hair with his fingertips. "She said goodbye. I heard her."
Lu Tian looked at him with red eyes. He lowered his head and kissed the corner of her eye. "Besides, she didn't dare to tell you because she knew that if she told you, you would definitely drag her away. She didn't want to disappear in front of us because that would be more cruel to all of us..."
Just like this, watching their backs as they walk away is better than watching them disappear before your eyes.
Lu Tian was silent.
She didn't know which way was better. Maybe deceiving herself was easier to accept than facing separation head on.
Bo Jinran held her and lay down, covered her with the quilt, and patted her back to comfort her, "Okay, be good, you will be fine after a good sleep."
Lu Tian leaned in his arms and closed her eyes.
Many scenes flashed before her eyes, and the last thing she saw was heavy snow. Shi Xing and Qi Chenyan were standing on the side of the road holding hands, waving to her and Bo Jinran, then turned and left.
Tears rolled down the corners of my eyes again.
She didn't know if she would feel better after waking up from a good sleep, but she knew that once they turned away, they would never come back.
Lu Tian finally fell asleep in a daze.
She didn't sleep very well, but she didn't move when Bo Jinran got up.
Bo Jinran lowered his head again, kissed her forehead, covered her with the quilt, and then quietly left the bedroom.
He went to Bo Yuchen's room.
I know Bo Yuchen definitely didn't rest.
As expected, Bo Yuchen was still sitting on the balcony, holding an unlit cigarette between his fingertips and looking at the distant sky with his head tilted.
Bo Jinran looked at his ashtray; it was clean, with no cigarette butts.
He was a little surprised.
I thought that at this time, Bo Yuchen must have smoked countless cigarettes.
"dad."
His name is Bo Yuchen and his voice is very hoarse.
Bo Yuchen turned around and saw him, his tone as gentle and calm as ever: "What's wrong?"
Bo Jinran took a deep breath and said directly, "I know why you want to bring An Mingyu here, but Xingxing won't be happy if you do this."
The cigarette in Bo Yuchen's hand was instantly pinched off and rubbed into his palm.
"Really?" he whispered.
"Yes."
Bo Jinran looked him in the eye and said bluntly, "Even if you and An Mingyu gave birth to a child and brought her back to this world, she wouldn't be the same person she once was. Also, you can't give her a complete family, because even if you could give her all your love, she still wouldn't have a mother who loved her. This isn't what she wants, so she won't be happy."
After a pause, he added: "If one day, the stars come back, they will be even less happy."
Bo Yuchen closed his eyes, his expression remained calm, only his rolling Adam's apple revealed his emotional fluctuations.
Bo Jinran knew that he had heard it.
"dad."
Bo Jinran called him again in a low voice, saying, "Tiantian and I will be with you."
Bo Yuchen curled his lips and said, "Go and have a rest."
He said nothing more.
Of course, no one mentioned asking someone to bring An Mingyu over.
When Shi Xing left, everyone told others that she and Qi Chenyan went out to play. At first, many people were confused and tried to contact her, but they couldn't get through to her. Gradually, they realized that something was wrong.
Of course, everyone thought that something had happened between Shi Xing and Qi Chenyan, and the Bo family didn't want to mention it, so they were naturally sensible and wouldn't talk about it or ask about it anymore.
Gradually, the names of Shi Xing and Qi Chenyan seemed to be forgotten and no longer mentioned.
The two of them really were like stars, streaking across the sky, shining brightly, and then disappearing at dawn.
And getting used to the process of returning to normalcy after the brilliance is difficult, but you will get used to it eventually.
Bo Yuchen started to return to the company. According to him, he would help Bo Jinran for another two years. After Bo Jinran graduated, he would also travel around the world.
Only Bo Jinran knew that he was using busyness to numb himself, forcing himself to get used to it faster and return to the days two years ago without Shi Xing.
Lu Tian seemed to have returned to normal, going to and from school with him as before, but she studied more seriously, to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep. Sometimes even Bo Jinran couldn't stand it anymore, but she still dragged him to study with her.
Bo Jinran often wanted to ask, which newlywed couple, who had been married for half a year, stayed up late every day to study together? There was Lu Tian and him.
When she doesn’t have many classes or they are not important, Lu Tian goes to Lu’s.
In this way, the days passed one by one, and it was another New Year's Eve.
This New Year's Eve, Lu Tian and Bo Jinran did not go to the Central Square. They stayed at home and played cards with Bo Yuchen, Lu Zeru and others.
With them was a little boy who was born not long ago.
He was held in the nurse's arms and fed from a bottle.
The boy's name is Lu Li.
Before Shi Xing left, he told Lu Tian that the Lu family would have a child named Lu Li, and if he was born, Lu Tian should take the child away from his father.
Because the child had a hard life when he was young and her brother didn't save him this time, Shi Xing was afraid that something might happen to him.
At that time, Lu Tian didn't understand why Shi Xing asked her to go. It was not until later that she found out that Shi Xing had already sensed that they would leave.
So after learning that the child was born, she asked Bo Jinran and Bo Yuchen for their opinions and simply brought the child named Lu Li to the villa.
It just so happened that Bo Yuchen liked children very much, so he was allowed to keep Bo Yuchen company.
That night, they played in the garden until midnight, and said Happy New Year to each other before returning to their room.
In the past six months, they have rarely gone to school and have basically been interning in companies.
The artificial intelligence project that Qi Chenyan started when he was a resident has now entered its most important period. Lu Tian and Bo Jinran are mainly responsible for following up on this project and have also established a new company for this purpose.
The company was named: Xingchen.
It was Lu Tian who chose the name. It seemed like she just said it casually and there was no complicated emotion behind it, but everyone including Bo Jinran knew what the name meant.
After Xingchen was established, Lu Tian and Bo Jinran went to and from get off work together, going to work and going home together every day, just like when they were in school.
But because we are in different departments and are very busy at work, the only time we can spend together is probably during the time we go to and from get off work.
Finally, we have a holiday tomorrow, January 1st.
That night, they played with them until the early morning. As soon as they returned to the bedroom, Bo Jinran hugged Lu Tian from behind.
The room was particularly dim before he could even turn on the lights. He lowered his head and kissed her ear and neck, his voice low and hoarse: "Tiantian said last year that you wanted to have a baby, do you still want one now?"
Lu Tian paused, turned around from his arms, put her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe, kissed him back on the lips, and responded with a chuckle: "I do."
She had always wanted to, but just had no time.
But now her department is not so busy anymore, so it can be put on the agenda.
In May, Lu Tian found out that she was pregnant, and it had been more than a month.
Lu Tian and Bo Jinran discussed that if it was a girl, she would be named Bo Yunxing, and if it was a boy, he would be named Lu Chenyan.
Of course, she hopes that she can also be pregnant with twins.
But the reality is cruel, and she only got pregnant with one child in the end.
It's a girl.
On December 31st, the child came into this world.
It was as if she had chosen the time long ago and came back to them on this day.
Bo Yuchen is the person who loves this child the most in the family. As long as Bo Yuchen is around, no one else can hold this child.
Sometimes even Lu Tian was troubled and couldn't help asking Bo Jinran: "Is this our child or your father's child?"
Bo Jinran thought for a moment and said, "Let's give this child to my dad. We'll have another one, Ayan."
After such a long time, especially after having a child, it doesn't seem so sad to mention Qi Chenyan and Shi Xing anymore, and I can even joke about them.
Bo Jinran picked up Lu Tian and smiled softly, "This time, we'll let A Yan and Xing Xing become siblings."
Lu Tian also wanted to laugh and couldn't help pinching Bo Jinran, "You really are my stepfather. If Ah Yan knew about this, he would be furious."
Bo Jinran chuckled softly, then lowered his head and kissed her.
At this moment in the villa garden, Bo Yuchen was holding little Yunxing, who was less than half a year old, in his arms, and Lu Li, who was almost two years old, was sitting next to him.
Lu Li was still just learning to speak, and the first thing he said was a leak, "Yaya (Grandpa), come and hold me, my dear."
Bo Yuchen smiled helplessly and corrected him, "It's the stars."
He looked at the tiny girl in his arms, her round eyes staring straight at him, blowing bubbles at him. Bo Yuchen couldn't help but gently poke the girl's extremely soft face with his fingers.
"You can't hold her yet. You're too small to hold her."
Bo Yuchen said this, looking up at the night sky.
The weather is very good tonight and the sky is full of stars.
He seemed to see the girl's bright eyes again, calling him "Dad" and saying "Dad, I love you."
Bo Yuchen said: "You have a little aunt, her name is also Xingxing."
Little Lu Li also followed his lead and looked up at the stars in the sky, saying in a baby voice, "My favorite..."
Bo Yuchen smiled and nodded, "Of course I like it."
When he said this, his eyes were gentle, "Because she is the cutest star."
