The world is broken, the cubs mend it

Chapter 18 Dandy: You Should Be Yourself

In fact, apart from the matter of the children, he didn't have much worth saying, and the two of them fell silent after chatting for a few sentences.

"I'm fine, but you're about to graduate, what are you going to do? Continue to take the postgraduate entrance examination or work?"

Li Yan looked at him with worry in his eyes. Rich second-generations like them who came from wealthy families didn't actually need to worry about work.

But it is hard to say about Lu Zheng. He is not very serious about his studies and is unwilling to bow to his family. His future path is still unclear.

But even if he bowed his head, a dictatorial person like Uncle Lu might not be willing to hand over the company to him right now.

But he is smart. If he keeps on the right track, he can make a name for himself.

Lu Zheng's eyes were a little vague. Yuanyuan on the opposite side picked up Li Yan's mobile phone and played a cartoon.

She has never taken my cell phone on her own initiative, and even watches TV only after I turn it on, as if she needs my permission for everything.

There seemed to be some distance between her and herself, and she couldn't be so calm and at ease.

"Are you listening to me?" Li Yan didn't get a response, so he raised his hand and waved it in front of his eyes: "What are you looking at? Why are you so absent-minded?"

"Nothing..." Lu Zheng quickly retracted his gaze, picked up the water cup and took a sip: "What did you ask just now?"

It's really like I'm possessed by an evil spirit!

Why do I always try to figure out my child’s psychology?

The dishes were quickly served, and seeing that he looked absent-minded, Li Yan did not continue the previous topic.

Yuanyuan was not very good at using chopsticks, and she picked up a big shrimp with difficulty and put it into Li Yan's bowl.

"Godfather, eat shrimp!"

"it is good."

Li Yan ate the shrimp she picked up, then picked up a piece of fish, picked out the fish bones and put it in her bowl.

It’s good to have brothers. You can enjoy the feeling of being respected before you get married.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng couldn't hold it in any longer. He knocked on the table, looked at the child, and asked, "Where's mine?"

This person really doesn't care about his biological father at all!

"what?"

Yuanyuan looked up at him blankly, not knowing what he wanted.

"I want to eat shrimp too. Give me one."

Lu Zheng almost suffocated to death and pointed at the shrimps on the table.

"it is good!"

Yuanyuan did as she was told obediently, but unfortunately her arms were too short to reach her father.

"That's pretty much it..."

Lu Zheng took the bowl and took it, but since the child didn't take the food on his own initiative, it felt a bit unpleasant to eat.

"You are such a grown-up, aren't you childish?"

Li Yan couldn't help laughing when looking at him. Why didn't she realize that he had such a cute side before?

"Am I childish?"

Lu Zheng felt that he was fighting for the preferential treatment he deserved as a father, but when he thought about it carefully, it was a bit childish.

"Let's eat..."

Li Yan knew that he was sensitive, and if she continued talking, she was afraid that he would overthink it.

Seeing the child eating the fish that Li Yan had picked, Lu Zheng also picked out a piece of fish, picked out the bones and put it in the child's bowl.

"Thank you dad!"

Yuanyuan looked at him happily, and very considerately ate the meat he picked for her first.

Her godfather and biological father worked together to pick out fish bones for her, and she finally lived a happy life without any bones in her fish.

Li Yan realized that he wanted to show off in front of the child, so she stopped picking food for the child and left all the opportunities to him.

The young boy, who usually does everything in a hurry, has become calmer and more patient after becoming a father.

After eating and drinking, Yuanyuan felt a little sleepy and took a nap in her godfather's arms.

The box fell silent. Lu Zheng looked at the child's sleeping face, feeling mixed emotions.

"I always feel like she's afraid of me. She's not like that in front of me."

"It's not possible to build a close relationship all at once, just take your time."

Li Yan also noticed that the father and daughter were not that warm, but they had just met each other, so there had to be a period of adaptation.

"If only I had a personality like yours, I wouldn't be so awkward."

Lu Zheng sighed. In his heart, Li Yan was not only his brother, but also someone he always admired.

I can do everything with ease and get along well with everyone, unlike myself who makes a mess of my life.

"A Zheng, if you always want to be someone else, you will only put yourself in endless pain. What you should be most is yourself.

Sensitivity is also a gift, you just need to control your emotions and be a little more insensitive. "

Li Yan comforted him softly, but couldn't help but worry about his condition.

"Um…"

Lu Zheng responded and turned his head to look at the traffic outside the window.

He always has a lot of things on his mind and doesn't like to complain.

Everyone is tired, and talking too much will only add to the worries.

"How are you doing recently? If you feel uncomfortable, you can go see a psychiatrist or talk to me."

Li Yan was extremely careful when talking about this, for fear of reminding him of unhappy things.

Ever since his parents divorced, Lu Zheng's emotional state has been unstable.

The most serious incident was when he was 14 years old. After being slandered by Chen Yan, the two almost got into a fight.

Lu Chao lectured him without giving him any explanation and even slapped him in the face.

It was summer vacation, so he hid in Feng Nuan's place, hoping to seek his mother's love.

But he did not receive any love and was ignored, so he returned feeling disheartened.

During that period, he was like a walking corpse and had no interest in doing anything.

Not long after, he swallowed pills at home alone. Fortunately, Li Yan found him in time and rescued him.

From then on, Lu Zheng seemed like a different person. He no longer sought the so-called family affection, but became unruly, doing whatever he wanted and pursuing excitement.

He was officially diagnosed with bipolar disorder when he was 16 years old. Li Yan had advised him to see a doctor before, but he never took it seriously.

Later I don’t know why he suddenly went for a check-up. Maybe something unknown happened in the middle, but I never heard him mention it.

"Don't worry about me. It's me who always troubles you."

Lu Zheng raised the corner of his lips towards him, but there was no smile between his brows, as if he was suppressing something.

"What's the trouble? I have things to do at the company. You should also think about your future. You already have children. You should consider the consequences before doing anything."

Li Yan held the child in his arms. The little guy frowned but did not wake up.

Looking at the child in his arms, Lu Zheng closed his eyes. He felt as if his heart was being squeezed by a big hand, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Graduation is coming soon, and the classmates around me are making plans for the future.

He is the only one who muddles through life every day, as if there will be no tomorrow after today.

Whenever he wakes up, he feels like a bad person, who is neither high nor low, has no ambition and can't do anything well.

He felt like he was trapped in a swamp, watching himself sink clearly, unable to see the exit tomorrow.

Yuanyuan was hit by a hot tear in her sleep. She opened her eyes dazedly, and when everything in front of her became clear, she found that her father was crying.

"Dad? What's wrong with you?"

The little girl raised her hand in panic to touch his face. Seeing her father sad, she felt sad too.

"you're awake?"

Lu Zheng opened his eyes and looked at her, then took out a tissue and wiped his face roughly.

Being a father is different after all. I don’t want my children to see my vulnerable side.

"Um…"

Yuanyuan looked at her father crying, and for some reason her eyes began to turn red. Her nose felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes.

"what happened to you?"

Lu Zheng looked at her in confusion, holding her little face in his hands and rubbing it. Why was she crying for no reason?
