Chapter 13 Return to the Orphanage
Chapter 13 Return to the welfare home.
Apart from Shen Mingchen's sinister attitude, Yunxi was happy on the first day after marriage. Shen Mingxu's eyes were filled with love for her that he could not see enough and could not pamper enough. The love grew and could no longer be hidden. He was determined to move forward and help her find her past memories.
In his heart, Shen Mingxu knew that he was not as sunny and healthy as he was in the past. He never had the confidence that Yunxi would fall in love with a cripple, so he began to desire to find his past memories and awaken the pure love he once had to nourish his current emotional life.
A debt of four hundred thousand? He had forgotten it long ago.
On the second day of the wedding, Shen Mingxu changed into casual trousers to cover the horrifying scar on his leg. He stayed at home and washed fruits and made breakfast in the kitchen with Yunxi. He did not do anything with his free hand, and most of the time he watched Yunxi do things with a smile.
After eating a sandwich for breakfast, with half a cup of coffee left, Shen Mingxu looked at the piano at the other end of the hall and encouraged Yunxi again, "Yunxi, go and try to play the piano."
Looking at his serious look and then at the beautiful piano, Yunxi was a little at a loss.
After holding the table, Shen Mingxu, who did not bring a stand, slowly stood up with his left hand holding an elbow crutch. He held her hand.
Yunxi could clearly feel that he had handed over all the hard work to the elbow crutch and raised his right leg to drive his left leg, and only used his right hand to gently hold her hand. After marriage, this man became more and more gentle. Today, he asked her to play the piano again emotionally. She couldn't help but get nervous, afraid to see his disappointed eyes.
In the light wooden home, she was slowly walked to the piano by his hand with crutches. Yunxi sat down obediently. Shen Mingxu did not speak, but looked at her with gentle and expectant eyes.
White piano, black and white keys, Yunxi's fingers gently touched the keys, and the music scores buried deep in her mind flew out from the depths of her memory and emerged in front of her eyes. Her fingers seemed to have made friends with every key. Her arms, wrists, and fingers all had their own angles. She tried to use her fingers to exert force, and really flowed out beautiful music.
Sitting upright on the piano stool, Yunxi played several classic pieces of music from her piano learning in one breath. These notes have been deeply imprinted in her mind since her childhood. The unique muscle memory flows out naturally, and the piano sound surrounds the entire hall and echoes for a long time.
Yunxi was more surprised than Shen Mingxu who was standing next to the piano that she could play the piano. She stared at her hands with wide eyes and didn't recognize these ten fingers.
"I can really play the piano? I can play the piano... Shen Mingxu, let's..." She stood up and took the initiative to go to Shen Mingxu and look at him. His beautiful eyes were full of thoughts, where was the sharpness and seriousness? And his handsome and proud nose bridge, the shape of his lips like petals, everything seemed familiar.
"Xiaoxi, do you remember? We knew each other. You were 18 and I was 22." Since hearing her playing the piano, Shen Mingxu's intense heartbeat has been almost unbearable. He is more excited than Yunxi, and his left leg is shaking slightly in the wide trouser leg that she can't see.
Just like touching the piano, Yunxi took the initiative to move closer and touch Shen Mingxu's arm. Sure enough, she also found muscle memory in him. He drove in the night, he waited for her with flowers at the school gate, he fed her sweet drinks, he... "A long time ago, we knew each other?"
"Yes, so when I saw you that day, I called your name. I thought... because of the car accident, I thought you were dead... Xiaoxi, seven years, I have never forgotten you for a day, I'm sorry..."
The cold and sharp, expressionless Shen Mingxu completely disappeared. The tall man in front of him was full of melancholy and broken expression, his eyes were shining, and his right hand gently stroked Yunxi's face, his calm eyes were full of love and affection.
Xiaoxi was his nickname for her seven years ago.
His Adam's apple rolled, Shen Mingxu took a breath silently, lowered his head and kissed her lips devoutly. The moment their lips touched, hot tears flowed from Shen Mingxu's eyes.
Unlike the happy kiss when they got married, today Shen Mingxu gently stroked Yunxi's face with his big hands, and even more gently held her long hair. He was reluctant to touch even a single hair of hers, as if she was some fragile porcelain. She clearly felt his cautiousness and recovery.
"Seven years ago, you were my boyfriend?" Yunxi was stunned by the gentle and beautiful man's kiss. After a long while, she woke up and began to sort out the past.
"Yes."
"Now you want me to pay you money, and you lied to me that you needed help and lied to me to marry you. Humph, Shen Mingxu, you are a bad person, and now you should be called a scumbag." Yunxi raised her head from his broad arms. There were still traces of him on her pink lips, but she did not feel intoxicated or happy. Instead, she took a step back, leaned on the piano, and gave him all the accusations with an unhappy face.
Once a passionate boy, now a straight man, Shen Mingxu's arms were empty, and his right leg moved subconsciously to stabilize his body. He sighed wildly in his heart. He had no other choice that day at the welfare home. For her and for himself, he used tricks to bring her home.
Seeing that he was about to be beaten, Shen Mingxu had no choice but to do nothing with the little girl. It was indeed his fault first. He picked up his phone to transfer money to Yunxi, "Listen to my explanation, no, look at my performance, Xiaoxi, I, I have my reasons."
"Xia Xia and I were almost killed by you." She pouted her little mouth.
"It was an accident." They suddenly rushed out, and before he asked her why she was so reckless and didn't pay attention to safety, she blamed her first.
"Ah..." Her little face was particularly lively and energetic when she was angry, and seemed to be more beautiful. In fact, she was wondering what other bad things Shen Mingxu had done.
"Look at your phone. Don't be angry. Give me some time. You will understand and will definitely forgive me." Shen Mingxu was happier than anyone else when his beloved began to recover her memory. However, she only remembered bits and pieces of the past. She was very enthusiastic about blaming herself. He really had a headache.
Yunxi looked at the huge six-digit sum again and again, her eyes widened, "Hey, it's almost pasted." A big hand held her face to prevent her from getting close to the phone screen.
"The 100,000 yuan was just spent, and another 200,000 yuan came. That's great." The little mouth finally stopped pouting. Yunxi's eyes were full of money, and there was no longer Shen Mingxu.
"What did you buy?" He didn't see what she bought for him.
"Well, it's all spent." As if she was allergic to romance, Yunxi walked away happily holding the phone, leaving Shen Mingxu messy beside the piano.
There are many fun places in Nandu, but Shen Mingxu has to think hard about the activities that his legs and feet can withstand. Accepting his disability is one thing, and not wanting to be disliked by his beloved and not embarrassing her is another. He and Yunxi were lovers and they didn't break up. But their relationship was interrupted and there was a seven-year gap in between. He himself had changed drastically, not to mention Yunxi was injured and lost her memory.
Therefore, Shen Mingxu was very self-aware and didn't plan a honeymoon. He wanted to spend a long time with her and find the love they once had.
After ordering romantic flowers, he was thinking about what show to watch and what to eat for lunch and dinner. At this time, his brother called him. Shen Mingxu's heart moved slightly. He answered the phone and found that the company had something important to do. His brother asked him to take care of it personally.
After going out in a hurry and getting into the car, Shen Mingxu was still worried and called Yunxi again, "Xiaoxi, I'm sorry I can't accompany you. I guess I will be busy until late today. You don't have to wait for me for dinner. You can go shopping and buy more things you like. You can use my card at will."
The person who came to pick up Shen Mingxu was an executive of the company and a distant relative of the Shen family. He naturally attended the young master's wedding. Hearing such a message, he couldn't help but interrupted, "Haha, it seems that women of all ages are the same. They only like money."
Shen Mingxu didn't respond to this distant relative at all when his slender fingers stroked the densely patterned part of the cane. In his heart, Yunxi was never a person who loved money. If she was, he would only try his best to satisfy her.
Shen Mingxu himself didn't care whether his newlywed wife was vain or not, so he never asked Yunxi what she bought. The less he asked, the more the answer came to him. When he got home, he actually saw the invoice sent by the computer company in the mailbox at the door.
The recipient was Shao Yunxi, and the delivery address was Nandu Welfare House. It turned out that she had used her money to buy projectors, computers, printers for the children...
"Xiaoxi, here's your invoice." Shen Mingxu smiled and talked to his wife, leaning on a cane and walking with a unique pace.
"Oh, thank you." After receiving the envelope, Yunxi held his arm and led him to sit down and drink scented tea.
"Your money bought all these?" Shen Mingxu began to make small talk.
"Well, the children need it."
"Okay, if you need money, just tell me."
Seeing Shen Mingxu's good mood, Yunxi saw that he really didn't mind spending his pocket money on the children, and began to make further requests, "Tomorrow afternoon, I want to buy some cakes and drinks to go back to the welfare home to see everyone." "
Okay, don't take them yourself, let them deliver them. I have something to do tomorrow, I will go back with you next time, okay?" Speaking of the welfare home, Shen Mingxu was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, he really had something to do, otherwise he really couldn't lie to his wife.
After listening to Shen Mingxu's advice, Yunxi ordered fresh and high-end cakes for the children, and bought small gifts such as hand cream and handmade soap for the teachers.
The next day in the welfare home, Shu He, a young male teacher who was only a few years older than Yunxi, was currently the most popular special teacher among primary school children. Because Shu He was deaf and dumb, he would not criticize the children. He was very gentle and patient, and he was also very skillful and good at handicrafts.
For the children, Teacher Shu's lack of smile was already the most severe attitude.
"Shu He, you are so great. You have already started teaching them." Knowing that Shu He can teach children painting and handicrafts with the combination of sign language and PPT, and also works part-time as a badminton teacher in physical education class, Yunxi gave Shu He, who wears hearing aids, heartfelt praise and gave him great gestures.
"Thank you, thank you, Xiao, Xi." Born deaf, even if Shu He wears hearing aids, the sounds in his world are different from those of healthy people. Most of the time he still relies on sign language to express himself, so speaking requires more practice and great courage.
"There are so many homeworks. I will help you correct them." With a friendly smile to Shu He, Yunxi automatically took half of the pile of picture books in front of him to her side, and the two sat side by side and began to look through the children's painting homework.
There was a piece of white paper in the picture book, about a quarter of the size of the book. Yunxi touched the paper, naturally put it in front of her, wrote a few words, and quickly dotted about three lines. She didn't even fold the paper, but just sandwiched it between two books and handed it back to Shu He.
