Chapter 62 The Magellanic Clouds 8
Tan Ke hugged Xie Li, and stretched out his hand to pat the little boy's thin back: "What's the matter with your senior sister?"
Xie Li was taken aback by the irrelevant question, and raised his head to look at Tan Ke in doubt.
What does the matter of Tang Wanwan have to do with Tan Qisheng?
But he still said: "My senior sister doesn't want a child, so she lost it. According to her, it seems that she didn't know when she was pregnant. She notified her family before the operation, and you will know the rest."
Tan Ke nodded, indicating that he understood.He paused for a while before saying inexplicably, "It's pretty good."
What's good?
Xie Li was a little puzzled, and he didn't even know whether he should continue to ask.
The expression on Tan Ke's face made Xie Li feel that he was spying on some secret.
Just when Xie Li was about to give up, Tan Ke suddenly hugged him from his lap, let him sit on the sofa next to him, and said lightly: "But not everyone has the opportunity to do this kind of thing." choose."
Xie Li looked at Tan Ke blankly, feeling that the other party suddenly became sad.
Does Tan Ke's mother not move back to Lancheng for burial have anything to do with Tang Wanwan not wanting that child?
Xie Li felt as if he had caught something, but he couldn't say it.
Tan Ke leaned back on the sofa and looked up at the sky.
The rain stopped, the clouds cleared, and the moon came out, with a half wheel hanging in the sky.
He remembered that night, when he got up to drink water in the middle of the night, he passed by his mother's bedroom and heard low sobbing inside.He opened the door and went in, only to see his mother crying bitterly holding an application form.
It was the registration form for Tan Xin to go to Kaner City for observation that his mother immediately took home and filled out as soon as Tan Xin entered college.
He had never seen his mother cry so sadly, he didn't understand what happened, and wanted to come forward to comfort him, but his mother grabbed his hand and laughed again.
Tan Ke raised his hand to cover his eyes, as if the moonlight was dazzling: "After my mother passed away, I sorted out the relics, and I saw her diary. I didn't know that she wanted to apply for observation work many times, but she had to give up because her family couldn't leave. "
The old-fashioned rubber notebook, with several thick volumes, was stuffed deep in the closet.
A female college student went from the joy of entering university, her ambition to become a scientist, to her suppressed dream of becoming a wife and a mother.
On the yellow and brittle pages are her unwilling struggles and difficult choices between family and career.
The husband works outside the home all year round, the in-laws and parents are in poor health and need to be taken care of, and the children are still young and cannot live without their mother.Everything in this family needs her.
"This city is a cage for her, a place that completely traps her. Does my dad know?" Tan Ke smiled, "He might know. Even if he knew, he would only say that it is for science Give part of the sacrifice."
He sneered again: "But there is no word Ye Chunxi on his military medal. Who would know that when he made contributions to science, it was a woman named Ye Chunxi who raised his children and took care of his parents. Run the family."
Tan Ke buried this matter deeply, and was buried together with his mother's body in front of the former site of Kaner City Astronomical Station.
The natural disaster not only took away his mother, but also took away the opportunity to make amends.It is meaningless to dig it out again, no one remembers the pain of being trapped for half her life.
Xie Li opened his mouth, unable to speak.
Family problems of this magnitude were completely out of his reach.
He leaned over to Tan Ke's side, put his arms around Tan Ke's shoulders, and spared him from behind.The man's shoulders are broad, and it's a little difficult for him to hug him, his fingertips are barely touching each other.
Xie Li hesitated for a long time, but didn't say a word.
Tan Ke patted him on the arm: "My dad's character, he will try his best to achieve his goal when he wants to do it. He has nothing to do with me, so he will start with the people around me. I will solve it, don't worry about it , okay?"
Xie Li was stunned for half a second, as if someone had rubbed his heart.
Tan Ke was really discussing with him.
He hesitated for half a second, then nodded.Asking any more is just exposing Tan Ke's scars, and he has no doubts anymore.
When they came out of Biyunju, the account manager sent them to the door.The man seemed to see something, and leaned over with a shy smile: "Actually, Mr. Tan can stay here overnight, feel it, don't worry." He glanced at Xie Li with a smile, and then lowered his voice, "Whatever you need We can prepare for anything without making a fuss. The scene on the roof is the most suitable scene in this season."
Tan Ke's expression darkened immediately, he stopped in front of the car, and squinted at the other party: "Is this how you treat guests who buy a house?"
Xie Li was very preoccupied, and being led by Tan Ke all the way, he just covered his head and walked forward, not paying attention to what the house seller was talking about.This meeting raised his head in confusion, scratched Tan Ke's palm lightly, and asked in a low voice, "Aren't we going to get in the car?"
Tan Ke squeezed Xie Li's hand, but he couldn't express his anger in front of Xie Li's face.No matter who the sales manager thought of Xie Li, he didn't want Xie Li to know.
"Well, let's get in the car." He ignored the sales manager, turned around and opened the door for Xie Li, watching Xie Li bend down and get into the co-pilot.
On the way from Biyunju, Xie Li offered to go home with Tan Ke.
Tan Ke looked at him quite unexpectedly.
Xie Li was a little embarrassed, and turned his head to stare out the car window: "It's so late, you have to send me back to school first, and you have to make a detour."
Tan Ke smiled softly, but he didn't reveal that they were going to pass by Lanta on their way back here, let alone that he had to send Xie Li back to school before going to work tomorrow morning, which was a detour.
After entering the house, Xie Li was urged to wash up.
He has been to Tan Ke's house a few times and he is familiar with him.Without pointing out, he changed his shoes and went to Tanke's cloakroom by himself, and found his mint green pajamas from the cabinet. The pajamas exuded the fragrance of laundry detergent. They were ironed so that there was no crease, and they were neatly folded. In the closet, beside Tan Ke's pajamas.
The brush head of the electric toothbrush he used last time and Tan Ke's were hung side by side on the shelf, and the two water glasses were also next to each other, very close.
While Xie Li was brushing his teeth, Tan Ke came in and pinched his butt: "Don't you want to take a bath?"
Xie Li held toothpaste in his mouth, shook his head, and protested indistinctly: "Pinch my butt again!"
He found that Tan Ke liked to pinch his ass more and more recently.He didn't have an itchy flesh, and he wasn't afraid of being scratched.But Tan Ke's hand seemed to have something added, and every time he pinched his butt, he felt a numb and itchy feeling.
It always reminded him of what happened in the tent that day.
Tan Ke ignored his protest, and pinched his round butt again: "It's been a crazy day outside, it's dirty like a mud monkey, and I haven't taken a bath yet."
Xie Li spit out the toothpaste froth in his mouth and wiped his mouth: "I just sweated a little, and it's not dirty at all. Besides, can you play the audition for the bathing scene? I'm so sleepy. Let's go back to school to wash tomorrow."
Tan Ke wanted to say more, but he remembered that he had agreed to do nothing at night. For example, the one hundred benefits of taking a bath and the one hundred disadvantages of not taking a bath had to be swallowed into the stomach along the esophagus, and there was only one sentence left in the end. : "If you don't take a bath, just wash your feet."
Xie Li washed his feet by dipping them in the basin.
Tan Ke passed by the living room, but couldn't see it. He dragged a chair and sat down, grabbed Xie Li's feet and pressed them into the water.
Xie Li groaned and almost broke out: "Hot, hot, hot—"
Tan Ke was so ruthless that he didn't let go: "Don't move, just get used to it."
Xie Li is not tall, and his feet are not big, and they are quite white.
Tan Ke pinched his feet and rubbed his toes one by one, not sparing even the nails, rubbing them carefully.Then along the instep, knead gently, all the way to the calf.
Xie Li was still earning at first, muttering "I'll wash it myself", but at some point he stopped earning, pulling his pants and bowing his head without saying a word.
Tan Ke was washing him, and suddenly realized that the silence was not right. When he looked up, the little boy's cheeks were flushed.
Tan Ke reached out his hand to stir the basin twice, and said inexplicably, "This water is no longer hot."
Xie Li pulled his foot out of his hand abruptly, stood up without wiping it, bent over and ran towards the bathroom, hooked his back like a shrimp, and closed the door with a bang.
It took Tan Ke a long time to react in the chair, and he couldn't help smiling with his lips hooked.
Such a small thing, even pinching a foot makes such a big reaction.
Waiting for Xie Li to successfully negotiate with his good brother, he opened the door, but there was no one outside.
The living room has been tidied up, and there is a light under the study door.
Xie Li heaved a sigh of relief, and climbed into bed in disgrace to go to sleep.
The bed was full of the smell of Tan Ke, the quilt Tan Ke covered, the pillows Tan Ke lay on, and there was a deep and shallow lemongrass smell everywhere.
Xie Li was lying on the bed and his mind was running wild, thinking about this for a while, thinking about that for a while, and with the smell of lemongrass, he unconsciously remembered what happened in the tent that day.
He tossed and turned in the quilt, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't fall asleep, and he even regained his energy.
Xie Li huddled under the quilt almost wanting to cry, wanting to beat the bed, why is he so unreserved.
But the smell of lemongrass is like a combustion accelerant, fanning the fire more and more vigorously, and in the dark, it just lures people to do things that they can't do when they are awake.
Xie Li was startled when Tan Ke suddenly opened the door and came in.He suddenly woke up to what he was doing, and he couldn't help being stiff all over there, not daring to move, holding his breath and listening to Tan Ke's every move, turning on the night light, closing the door, pouring water to drink, putting down the water glass, and closing the curtains.
Xie Li could no longer care about his embarrassing situation, and moved carefully under the quilt, taking his hands away.
But suddenly, the quilt covering him was pulled away——
"Li Li, why don't you take me with you to play by yourself?"
Tan Ke's smiling voice suddenly came over, grabbed Xie Li's hand, and pressed it back to its original position.
When he came in, he saw that the ball under the quilt was in a strange and stiff posture, his eyes were closed to the point of crow's feet, and his eyelashes were still shaking.
At first, he thought that Xie Li was secretly hiding under the blanket and playing with his mobile phone. It wasn't until he drew the curtains that he saw Xie Li's movements under the blanket from the reflection of the glass, and then he understood.
"You're busy here by yourself, why don't you take me for fun things?" He lowered his head and bit Xie Li's earlobe.
