The world is broken, the cubs mend it

"When I saw my father crying, my eyes were sore..."

Yuanyuan sniffed, and tears jumped out of her eyes, sounding quite aggrieved.

It is difficult for people to empathize with others, but at this moment Lu Zheng truly felt that the child was feeling sad for her, and she was trying to empathize with her.

"I'm fine, don't..."

People are really pretentious. They can be very strong when no one is there to comfort them, but after hearing a few soft words, their tears start to flow uncontrollably.

Lu Zheng considers himself not to be an emotional person, but right now he just wants to hug his child and cry, to vent the grievances that have accumulated over the years.

"Dad, don't cry..." Yuanyuan patted his shoulders hard while crying.

It turns out that my dad, who appears to be grumpy and stubborn, also has a crybaby side.

After a while, Lu Zheng calmed down and wiped the tears from the child's face.

"I won't cry anymore, and you shouldn't cry either."

"Uh-huh…"

The little guy nodded, and felt better when he saw his father smile.

Coming out of the restaurant, the father and daughter's eyes were as red as a pair of rabbits.

The child's sadness came and went quickly, and he sat in the car happily playing with the Barbie doll that Li Yan gave him.

Lu Zheng saw from the rearview mirror that the child was holding the doll and talking to herself and thought she was silly.

Come to think of it, I have never bought toys for my children, so I am indeed not as attentive as Li Yan in this regard.

The car stopped at a building in the city center, and Lu Zheng took the children to the toy store in the mall.

The various Legos, dolls and blind boxes dazzled people. Yuanyuan was so curious that her mouth opened into an O shape.

"Do you like this?"

Lu Zheng pointed at the blind box of Pop Mart. This kind of small doll would look pretty good at home.

"like!"

Yuanyuan also likes these uniquely shaped dolls, each of which is exquisitely and beautifully made.

Lu Zheng bought a set of Pop Mart blind boxes, so the chance of winning a hidden model is higher.

The two of them bought a lot of things, and if Yuanyuan looked at a toy for a few more seconds, she would be asked if she liked it.

Soon the shopping cart was filled with toys. Yuanyuan was holding two fluffy dolls in her hands, and she walked wobbly like a little duck.

"Do you like this?"

Lu Zheng seemed to be addicted to buying things and showed her a set of assembled garden castle building blocks.

This kind of educational toy allows children to play more and stimulate their creativity and thinking ability.

"Dad, let's not buy..."

Yuanyuan looked at the toys piled up like a mountain in the shopping cart. There were so many that they would be enough for her to play with until she grew up.

"Why? Don't you like it?"

Lu Zheng picked up the building blocks and took the child to the checkout counter to pay. These were indeed a bit too much, so he would buy new ones when she got tired of playing.

"I like it. There are too many to play with."

Yuanyuan is easy to satisfy. She stands on tiptoe and tries hard to push the doll in her arms onto the counter.

After returning home, Lu Zheng placed the dolls in the living room and on the bedside of the bedroom. The colorful colors looked very festive.

Yuanyuan sat on the sofa and combed the Barbie doll's hair, and then she combed the doll's fur.

Lu Zheng leaned on the sofa and looked at the computer, tapping the keyboard with his slender knuckles.

He submitted a horror novel to a website last month and made good money, with a total of more than 50,000 yuan in royalties.

This is just a hobby for him. As long as he can make money, he will continue writing.

Yuanyuan combed the hair of all the dolls, looked at Lu Zheng who was working seriously and focused, and ran over to get a small comb to comb his hair.

"Don't mess with me!"

Lu Zheng hated being disturbed when he was concentrating on doing something. The inspiration he had finally captured was ruined by the little guy.

"..."

Yuanyuan, who was suddenly yelled at, quickly put away the comb, fear showing in her round eyes.

"I'm sorry, were you scared?"

After Lu Zheng yelled that, he was stunned for a moment. Looking at the bewildered child, he felt extremely regretful and quickly apologized to the child.

His mania is not as severe as it was in the previous two years, but he is still easily irritated and tends to get angry for no reason over trivial matters.

This kind of anger expressed unconsciously is the most difficult to contain.

"A little bit..."

Yuanyuan answered honestly and put the small comb away.

"I'm sorry, I didn't control my emotions. I have a disease that makes me angry very easily. I need time to relieve it."

It takes a lot of patience to raise a child, but Lu Zheng can't change his irritable temper in a short time, so he can only take it step by step.

"Is it serious? Will Dad be uncomfortable?"

When Yuanyuan heard that his father was sick, his little face wrinkled into a bun, and he came over to look at him worriedly.

"It's not serious, don't worry."

Lu Zheng rubbed her head. It felt good to be cared for.

He is also someone who is cared about.

"Then Dad, I hope you get better soon..."

When Yuanyuan learned that her father was irritable because he was sick, her previous nervousness and fear disappeared completely, and she rubbed her head against the palm of his hand.

"I will work hard."

Lu Zheng promised her solemnly, a smile appeared between his brows, and he felt that his whole heart was almost filled.

He used to think that bipolar disorder was nothing serious, as he had to bear the anger and depression alone anyway.

But it’s different now. He has a child and can’t bring this kind of negative emotion to her.

Yuanyuan didn't hold a grudge against her father. After a while, she leaned against him, holding the baby, babbling to herself.

It wasn't long before Feng Nuan heard about the child.

When she learned that her son had a child out of wedlock, she bought a plane ticket and flew over overnight.

Ding-dong-

Ding-dong-

Lu Zheng was awakened by the continuous doorbell ringing early in the morning. He went to open the door with a lot of resentment and his brows were twisted into a "川" shape.

"How did you come?"

When he saw who was coming, he was stunned for a moment, then stepped aside to let Feng Nuan enter the house.

"What time is it and you're still sleeping?"

Feng Nuan looked at her son with messy hair and swallowed the scolding that was about to come out of her mouth.

Over the years, the mother and son have been in contact through video. Just looking at their faces didn't have much visual impact, but when they stood face to face, I was surprised to find that he had grown a lot taller.

"Aren't you going to take Yaoyao with you? How do you still have time to come over?"

Lu Zheng closed the door and poured her a cup of hot water. It had been so long since they had seen each other being so polite to each other, like strangers.

Yaoyao is the daughter of Feng Nuan and her current husband. She used to say that Yaoyao was still young and couldn't leave her for too long, so she couldn't come to spend the holidays with her.

"Yaoyao is already in elementary school, so she doesn't need me to watch her every day."

"Because they don't need you there, that's why you have the time to come and find me?"

Lu Zheng looked at her dark eyes, which were calm, but the words he spoke were sharper than a knife.

If it weren't for the child, she probably wouldn't have remembered that she had a son.

"A Zheng, Yaoyao was still young at that time and couldn't leave her mother..."

"Then I can leave mom?"

"I……"

Feng Nuan knew that he felt wronged and that she owed him a lot. She didn't know how to explain it, so she wanted to make up for it.

"Forget it, you sit down first, I'll go change my clothes."

Lu Zheng closed the door and went back to the bedroom. He didn't know if it was because he was in a bad mood after waking up, or because of the resentment in his heart, but he couldn't help but want to rebuke Feng Nuan.

The little guy in the bedroom also woke up, and the first thing he did after opening his eyes was to look for his father.

"here!"

Seeing her lying on the bed and groping around, Lu Zheng walked up and patted her little head.

"Dad, where have you been?"

Yuanyuan crawled out of the bed, opened her little arms and threw herself into his arms.

"Go open the door for grandma, get up and get dressed."

Lu Zheng took a white printed short-sleeved shirt and light blue wide-leg jeans for the child to change into, and asked her to go out and wash up first.

The chubby little pink ball ran out of the bedroom and curiously searched for his grandmother in the living room.

Seeing Feng Nuan sitting in the living room, she carefully poked her head out from the side of the sofa, revealing a pair of dark eyes and looking at the other person.

"Are you Yuanyuan?"

Feng Nuan also noticed her and gave her a gentle smile.

The little guy behind the sofa nodded, holding the sofa cover with his two little hands and not approaching her.

"Come here, let grandma see you..."

She was actually not very accepting of the birth of the child, but since it had already happened she had no choice.

Yuanyuan looked up in the direction of her father, and when she saw him nod at her, she let down her guard and walked to stand beside Feng Nuan's legs.
