The world is broken, the cubs mend it

She ate so much at lunch that she could hardly drink, but she still held the bowl obediently and drank in small sips.

Mrs. Li made an appointment with someone to have tea in the afternoon. She also reminded him to take care of his health and then prepared to leave.

"Mom, take this with you."

Li Yan picked up the purple cabbage wrapped in paper on the table and gave it to her. There was no use for him to keep it.

“Why are the cabbages wrapped like this?”

"Lu Zheng gave it to me. You can take it back. It would be a waste to keep it with me."

"This kid is always doing weird things..."

Mrs. Li had a smile in her eyes. Her impression of Lu Zheng was different from others. The child was always well-behaved in front of her and she liked him very much.

"Don't drink if you can't drink it. Your stomach will get upset soon."

Li Yan took the bowl of soup from her hand, glanced in the direction of the office door, and watched his mother leave.

As soon as he looked away, he saw the little guy looking up at him with bright eyes, and opening his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

"what happened?"

He squatted down and put his ear towards the child, actively listening to what she wanted to say.

"Your mother is leaving! Your mother doesn't want you anymore!"

Yuanyuan grabbed his trouser leg, whispered something, and then ran away.

"Hey! You little thing, I find you're pretty bad!"

Li Yan grabbed her with one hand beside the sofa and pinched her little face. He didn't expect that she was so good at imitating others.

It’s pretty good, better than the previous lifeless and well-behaved type.

From this perspective, she and Lu Zheng do have some similarities, both of them are quite vindictive.

the other side--

Without the children clinging to him, Lu Zheng felt a lot more relaxed. After class, he made an appointment with his friends to go to the gym to play basketball.

He was considered a well-known figure in school, with impeccable height and appearance, and a good family background.

During previous competitions, some girls had given him flowers, and countless others had given him water.

But he basically didn't confiscate them and would just say a few polite words to get away with it.

It happened that the people from the school team were there today, and the two sides hit it off and drew lots to split into two teams.

Lu Zheng was wearing a white No. 23 jersey. He moved as swiftly as the wind and made a beautiful three-pointer, winning the applause of his classmates.

The other team wasn’t bad either, and they quickly caught up with the score, becoming evenly matched.

After the game, Lu Zheng's jersey was soaked and stuck to his body, making him feel very uncomfortable.

"Brother Zheng, do you want to go out and have fun together tonight?"

They made an appointment with the school team to go out for dinner and then go to KTV to sing. I heard that the beauty from the Computer Department will also be there.

Lu Zheng turned on the screen of his mobile phone. It was almost five o'clock and he had to pick up his child.

"No, I have something to do and I'm leaving first."

After saying that, he picked up his clothes and walked quickly to the school gate.

I don’t know how the child is doing?

The other party looked at his back with a confused look on his face, always feeling that he was acting weird these past two days.

Originally, she said she would call him if she missed him, but Li Yan didn't even send a text message, and the only missed message on her phone was a harassing call.

He didn't feel anything when he was sticking close to the child in the past few days, but after they separated, Lu Zheng suddenly realized that he was looking forward to being missed by the child.

The sun was setting. Li Yan was not very busy in the afternoon. He played a lot of small games with Yuanyuan and was now sitting at the coffee table playing Gobang.

The little guy didn't know how to play, so he just moved the chess pieces randomly and sometimes even secretly moved his godfather's chess pieces.

In just one day, she let down her guard in front of Li Yan and acted like an ordinary child, a little naughty.

When Lu Zheng arrived, the two were having a lot of fun. Yuanyuan's little hands were picking at the chess pieces in Li Yan's hands, looking a little overbearing.

It was the first time he saw the child's extrovert side, and he looked a little more lively.

"You came?"

Li Yan looked at him and gave the chess piece in his hand to the little guy.

"Well, I'm here to pick her up. Did she cause you any trouble today?"

Lu Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at the child. She was very well behaved in front of him and did not show the mischievousness that was expected of a girl of her age.

"No, she's very well behaved. You can bring her over tomorrow."

Li Yan stood up, touched Yuanyuan's head, and handed her to Lu Zheng.

"I have a dinner party tonight, so I'll leave first. You take her home early."

"Well, pay attention to safety on the road."

Just as Lu Zheng was about to grab the child's hand, the little guy quickly ran forward to chase Li Yan.

"Godfather, I'll come play with you tomorrow."

Yuanyuan grabbed his trouser leg and raised her little face to smile at him.

"alright, bye!"

Li Yan responded with a gentle smile, and the two of them looked like a picture of a loving father and a filial daughter.

"Godfather? When did he become your godfather? Did your biological father agree?"

Lu Zheng looked at them in surprise, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

She isn't even grown up yet, yet she dares to acknowledge her father behind my back.

"I…"

Yuanyuan didn’t know that she needed her father’s permission to call him godfather. She was frightened by his serious and fierce voice and looked at him at a loss.

"Don't scare the child. I asked her to call me that. Given our relationship, it's not a disadvantage to have him as a godfather."

Li Yan quickly explained that he was well aware of Lu Zheng's condition.

I know he's not angry, his tone just sounds like he is.

"I didn't say I couldn't recognize it, but you have to discuss it with me in advance."

Lu Zheng complained, feeling somewhat aggrieved.

"Okay, I'm wrong this time. I'll treat you to a meal another day."

Li Yan patted his shoulder and coaxed him first, then secured the position of godfather.

"Okay..." Lu Zheng gave up the opportunity to show respect.

He is my godfather, he can’t shake my biological father’s position anyway.

But what happened next completely broke his defenses.

Thinking that the child was frightened just now, Li Yan squatted down and coaxed the child in a gentle voice before leaving. The little guy nodded and kissed him on the face.

Right in front of Lu Zheng!!!

He didn't receive such treatment when bathing his children, brushing their teeth, or buying clothes for them.

"Let's go!"

He took Yuanyuan's hand and walked out, his lips pursed into a straight line, with a feeling of suffocation in his chest.

The real chilling feeling is not caused by making a fuss!

After getting in the car, Lu Zheng leaned back in his seat without saying a word. The little guy glanced at him secretly and then fell silent.

I don’t know why, but Dad felt like he was about to die of anger.

"Ahem..."

Lu Zheng raised his hand and coughed deliberately, then touched the child's calf with his knee.

When you are angry, don’t say anything and let the child guess for himself.

"?"

Yuanyuan looked up at him, her big eyes full of confusion.

"Cough cough..."

Lu Zheng coughed twice again and moved a little closer to the child.

"..."

Yuanyuan seemed to understand a little bit, and touched his throat with his two little hands. Could it be that daddy was feeling uncomfortable there?

"Cough cough..."

Lu Zheng coughed a little louder this time, trying to get the child to speak first.

Unfortunately, it still failed...

When he was about to try one last time, the driver in the front row spoke up: "Young man, if you have a cold, wear a mask. The flu is quite serious recently. Don't infect the children..." and me.

"..."

Lu Zheng closed his mouth in embarrassment. It would be impolite to cough again.

After getting off the car, the little girl took the initiative to hold his hand. He folded his arms and leaned against the street lamp, looking down at her little hand frozen in the air.

Yuanyuan withdrew her hand awkwardly and stood at his feet.

The father and daughter were in a stalemate for a while, and Lu Zheng was the first to squat down and asked her: "Why don't you speak? Are you afraid of me?"

If I hadn't seen how she behaved in front of Li Yan, I would have thought that she was just a timid person.

But the fact proves that this is not the case. She also acts like a spoiled brat, but not to herself.

"Yes or no…"

Yuanyuan nodded and shook her head. She didn’t know how to answer her father’s question.

Children will naturally be closer to people who are gentle, tolerant and enthusiastic, but my father's personality is not like that.

Both the father and daughter are slow to warm up, and there is no one who takes the initiative to warm up and break the ice, so their relationship is more like a slow cooker over low heat.

I listen to my father and never act naughty because I care about him more and am afraid that I will do something wrong and make him unhappy.

"Why? I won't beat you like your previous parents did. You don't have to be afraid of me."

Lu Zheng thought that she was afraid of him because of this, but he also knew in his heart that he could not be as gentle and kind as Li Yan, who could say intimate and beautiful words to everyone.

There is no way to close the distance between you and your child in a short period of time.

He had an unhappy upbringing and didn't want his daughter to live an insecure life.

I wish she could be more childish like she was just now.
