There is always a hint of coolness in the early morning in Beijing, and Li Ming stands in front of the coffee shop they run together, watching the busy people on the street. His mood was as vague as the morning mist.
Ming, come and help me. Lin Xiao's voice came from the store, interrupting Li Ming's contemplation.
Li Ming turned around and walked back to the store and saw his wife Lin Xiao busy preparing the morning coffee. Lin Xiao had a smile on her face, but Li Ming knew that behind this was her exhaustion. Since she became pregnant, Lin Xiao's physical condition has not been very good.
How are you?Would you like to take a break?Li Ming asked with concern.
Lin Xiao shook his head, "I'm fine, you know I like to be busy." ”
The two were college lovers, and after graduation, they entered the palace of marriage together. Their coffee shop is a dream shared by the two, and although life is uneventful, it is full of small blessings. But lately, Lin Xiao's mood always seems to be a little up and down.
Li Ming walked over and hugged Lin Xiao gently, "No matter what, your health is the most important thing." ”
Lin Xiao smiled slightly, reached out and touched his belly, "I know, for the sake of our baby, I will take care of myself." ”
Just then, the doorbell rang and a familiar customer walked in. Li Ming quickly adjusted his mood and showed a professional smile.
Good morning, Mr. Zhang, do you still want a latte today?Li Ming asked enthusiastically.
Yes, thank you Mr. Lee. Mr. Zhang responded, his gaze falling on Lin Xiao's stomach, "It's about to give birth, right?"It's exciting. ”
Yes, we are about to usher in our dragon and phoenix fetus. Lin Xiao replied with a smile.
Mr. Zhang left with a smile, and Li Ming and Lin Xiao returned to their busyness. But Li Ming's heart was always a little uneasy, he always felt that Lin Xiao had something to hide from him recently.
A few weeks later, Lin Xiao finally gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, and the family should have been immersed in happiness. But a genetic test report from the hospital was like a bomb that shattered Li Ming's world.
According to the report, the son in the dragon and phoenix womb was not born to Li Ming. Li Ming held the report sheet with a blank look in his eyes. He looked up at Lin Xiao, whose eyes were full of tears and uneasiness.
Xiao, what's going on?Li Ming's voice trembled slightly.
Lin Xiao bit her lip, tears sliding silently, "Ming, I'm ......."There's something I haven't told you ......”
The secret in the morning mist was slowly revealed in tears.
In a small room in the hospital, Li Ming held the genetic test report sheet, his eyes full of confusion and anger. Lin Xiao sat on the edge of the bed, her face pale, and her eyes full of fear and guilt.
Tell me, what's going on?Li Ming's voice trembled.
Lin Xiao bit her lip, tears rolling in her eyes, "Ming, I'm ......."That was one thing before we got married......”
Li Ming's eyes were firmly fixed on Lin Xiao, his heart full of doubts and pain.
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and began to tell the secret she was trying so hard to hide. "It was a nightmare I'll never forget. That summer, I went to a friend's party and ...... on my way homeI was ...... by a strangerHer voice grew quieter and quieter, and at last she was almost whispering.
Li Ming's fists were clenched, the expression on his face instantly became complicated, and his heart was full of anger and powerlessness.
Why ......Why didn't you tell me before?There was a hint of tremor in Li Ming's voice.
Lin Xiao's tears finally slipped down, "I'm ......."I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's going to affect our relationship, I'm afraid you're going to look at me ...... unpleasantI thought I had forgotten all about ......”
Li Ming stood up and walked to the window, his back looking unusually heavy. He felt a sense of loss and struggle that he had never felt before, and he didn't know how to face it all.
The room fell silent, only Lin Xiao's sobbing voice echoed in the air. After a long while, Li Ming slowly turned around, his eyes full of pain.
Xiao, I ......I need time to digest it all. Li Ming's voice was low.
Lin Xiao nodded, she knew that the revelation of this secret was not only a blow to her, but also a huge impact on Li Ming.
Li Ming left the hospital, wandering the streets aimlessly, his heart full of contradictions and struggles. He loved Lin Xiao, but this sudden truth made him feel extremely painful and confused.
As night fell, Li Ming sat quietly on a park bench and looked up at the starry sky. His heart was filled with all kinds of emotions, anger, disappointment, sympathy, love, ......These emotions were intertwined in his heart, and it was difficult for him to calm down.
In the end, Li Ming decided to go back to the hospital, knowing that no matter what, he couldn't give up on Lin Xiao. The love between them is real, even if it is now full of challenges and pain.
Li Ming stood at the door of the ward, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open. Lin Xiao raised his head, his eyes full of anticipation and worry.
Xiao, can we talk?Li Ming's voice was calm but slightly heavy.
Lin Xiao nodded, her hand gripping the quilt tightly, looking a little nervous.
Li Ming sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Lin Xiao deeply, "These days, I've been thinking about us, about this family, and ......About the children. ”
Lin Xiao's eyes moistened, and she bit her lip, as if waiting for Li Ming's next words.
I know, this is a huge blow to you. I ......I can't imagine what you've been through. But I want you to know that no matter what happens, I'm here to support you. Li Ming's voice was firm.
Lin Xiao's tears slipped again, and she sobbed and said, "Ming, I'm sorry, I didn't tell you the truth, I'm afraid of losing you." ”
I know, I'm scared of ...... tooFear that our relationship will change because of this. But these days, I've been thinking that our marriage shouldn't just be built on perfection. It should be more about supporting each other in the midst of difficulties. Li Ming gently held Lin Xiao's hand.
The eyes of the two met with deep understanding and love.
As for the child......Li Ming paused and took a deep breath, "I'm willing to treat him as my own." We raise them together, regardless of their origins. ”
Lin Xiao's tears were like beads of broken threads, and she could hardly believe her ears. "Really?Ming, don't you blame me?”
I don't blame you. It's not your fault. We are all victims. But we cannot let the shadow of the past ruin our future. Li Ming's voice was full of determination.
They hugged each other tightly, feeling the warmth and comfort of this moment together. At that moment, all the misunderstandings and pains seemed to be gone with the wind, leaving only the promise of never leaving each other.
A few months later, Li Ming and Lin Xiao started their lives again. Although it was challenging at first, they were all trying to adapt and Xi how to be a better couple, better parents.
Li Ming often held the children at night to tell stories, while Lin Xiao watched quietly, her eyes full of gratitude and love. Through joint efforts, their lives gradually returned to peace, and the family atmosphere became more warm and harmonious.
