Chapter 52 Gifts
The glare of the sun makes one seem to be still in midsummer, but the red leaves that are blown by a gust of wind keep reminding travelers that winter is coming.

The little boy ran briskly past one maple tree after another, squatting down to pick up a fallen leaf from time to time, his wide eyes seemed to be some kind of rare treasure in his hand, which attracted people's attention.

In this world, only innocent children can always be innocent and free from worries.

"Father, here." Xu Dongming sat two trees away from Wang Sijing, thinking about what he did wrong just now, the precious daughter who ran out to play came back and took his hand and put a thin leaf in it.

After touching it, it was a maple leaf.

But still confused, why give him a maple leaf for no reason.

"This maple leaf is the most beautiful, will Dad give it to Mom?"

Soon her daughter gave him the answer.

Mengmeng didn't know what happened between the adults, but she was sensitive to her mother's displeasure, so she came up with this way to get her father to coax her.

Just like her mother coaxing him carefully when she was sick.

Listening to the daughter's childish words, Xu Dongming's hand holding Fengye gradually retracted.

"Oh, Dad, don't hold it tight, it will break." Mengmeng called out hastily.

He looked at his father with disgust in his eyes.

Dad is such an adult, why doesn't he even know how to take the maple leaf?

Forget it, let me teach my father, who calls him my father.

Mengmeng sighed like a little adult, and in order to prevent accidents, she took her father's hand and walked to the place where her mother was sitting.

"Mom, Mom, Dad has a gift for you." Mengmeng shouted cheerfully.

Wang Sijing subconsciously looked up at Xu Dongming when she heard the words.

As a result, he met an expressionless face, and his beating heart fell back to its original place.

Feeling that Wang Sijing's gaze was already uncomfortable, Xu Dongming panicked even more.

Ears are slightly hot.

It's too simple to give my wife a maple leaf.

Only then did he remember that he rarely gave her gifts.

"Do you have a gift for me?" Although Xu Dongming's indifferent attitude poured cold water on her, Wang Sijing asked Mengmeng proactively, not wanting to spoil Mengmeng's interest.

It is estimated that Mengmeng found some flowers and plants that he thought were beautiful, and he was too embarrassed to show them to her and found her father as a cover.

This child, is he very strict in her eyes?Can't.

Wang Sijing reflected on her attitude towards Mengmeng during this time, looking left and right, she is a very gentle mother.

Facing Wang Sijing's questioning, Xu Dongming now has no way out.

He could only stretch out his right hand stiffly and spread the palm to bring the maple leaf to Wang Sijing's eyes.

Wang Sijing stared fixedly at the intact red maple leaf in Xu Dongming's hand, and then looked up at the obviously embarrassed man.

The big black eyes flashed, "Is this the gift you gave me?"

The tone is uncertain.

In her mind, the ancient poems learned in modern times flashed involuntarily, and the meaning of the maple leaf in it.

Countless knowledge passed by, but she couldn't find the strand she needed. Wang Sijing was a little anxious, but also felt that she was completely self-indulgent.

This maple leaf looked like it was picked up by Mengmeng. How could such a strong man like Xu Dongming do such a boring thing as picking leaves.

Not to mention that his eyesight has not yet recovered, how lucky he is to find such a perfect piece of red maple from the boundless fallen leaves.

Wang Sijing, look at what you have become now, because this man's mind is disturbed by a random move, is this still you?
Wang Sijing kept complaining about herself in her heart, trying not to sink into it, but her body was very honest and Feng Ye took it over, and in the process, her fingertips accidentally touched the man's fingertips, leaving a trace of residual warmth.

As Maple Leaf left, Xu Dongming subconsciously rolled his fingers.

"Well, did you go back on your word?" Sensing the man's movement, Wang Sijing's hands froze.

Xu Dongming quickly withdrew his hand, cutting off the possibility of her returning the maple leaf.

"Last time, I didn't say that the medical book was missing a bookmark. This Maple Leaf is just right." He changed the subject indiscriminately, trying to cover up his gaffe just now.

Wang Sijing wondered when she said this.

"It's really good, thank you." Although she didn't remember, Wang Sijing wanted to cover up what was wrong just now, so she followed the topic and left.

Mengmeng's big bright eyes kept looking back and forth between her mother and father. After a while, she probably made sure that her mother was not angry anymore, and she pulled her father to sit beside her.

"Mom, this maple leaf is the most beautiful, do you like it?" Mengmeng asked cheerfully, her big eyes were full of anticipation.

Xu Dongming froze when he heard this.

Wang Sijing smiled, she knew that this maple leaf was not picked up by Xu Dongming and specially given to her.

"I like it. Can Mengmeng find a few for mom? Let's pick some more and put them back in the book. It will look better. I can also give it to you, Grandpa Xu."

"Yeah, Mengmeng is willing." Mengmeng nodded cheerfully, and then ran to pick up the maple leaves again.

Only Wang Sijing and Xu Dongming were left under the tree.

It was extremely quiet for a while.

"噗嗤" the woman's silver bell-like laughter broke the silence under the tree.

"Why do I feel embarrassed now? Just now I saw you come to give me maple leaves. I thought your eyes were healed. I was very moved when I thought that Captain Xu took the trouble to pick up leaves for a little woman like me."

Wang Sijing looked teasingly at the man under the tree.

The mottled light and shadow fell between the man's eyebrows and eyes, softening his tough face a bit, coupled with the man's slightly red ears, he couldn't help but greatly reduce the sense of fear.

Normally, Wang Sijing would not dare to joke with men like this.

"No, Mengmeng gave it to me suddenly, I didn't say I picked it up." Xu Dongming explained in a blunt tone.

I feel very bad when I say it.

Wang Sijing's smile remained undiminished.

After getting along for this period of time, she thinks she knows a little about this man.

"What you mean is that I misunderstood, but you said the sentence of sending me, so it must be because I heard it wrong."

Looking at the handsome face of the man who seemed to be calm but was already in disarray, Wang Sijing felt relieved for a while.

It turned out that I was not singing a one-man show alone.

"Hey, last time I gave me a thermos bottle because I needed it, and why did I give me a maple leaf this time? I have a good memory. I never said anything about bookmarks."

Even if she really wanted a bookmark, she would do it by herself, and she would never trouble a man.

Xu Dongming pursed his lips, stopped talking, and turned his head to prevent Wang Sijing from looking at him.

Seeing the man's childish behavior, Wang Sijing smiled even more cheerfully.

"If you want to give me a gift, just tell me. I won't refuse. Why are you so awkward? Mengmeng is better than you."

She also wanted to tease this man for some reason, perhaps because the weather was so good at this time?
