The world is broken, the cubs mend it

"That's just what others think. The target doesn't think so."

007 doesn't really understand human thoughts, but he has seen many people who were apparently living well but whose peaceful lives were messed up because of other people's eyes.

No one is perfect. If you look at everyone with a critical eye, you will find their faults. It will make you feel uncomfortable if you care too much about what others think.

Lu Zheng stared at the bedroom door for a while and then sat back on the sofa, worry written all over his face.

It is normal for the child to react strongly to this sentence given her experience and personality. Give her some time to calm down.

The living room fell silent. Feng Nuan realized that she had said too much and waited in silence for the child to come out.

Yuanyuan didn't lock herself in the bedroom for too long. After a while, she stepped on a small stool and opened the door from the inside, holding a small bag in her hand.

"What is it?"

Lu Zheng squatted in front of her, raised his hand and gently rubbed her eyes, which were a little wet because she had been crying.

He felt very uncomfortable seeing the child crying in pain.

"clothing…"

Yuanyuan packed out two pieces of clothing from the closet, one was the little floral dress her father bought for her for the first time, and the other was for changing.

"What are you doing with the clothes?"

Lu Zheng wanted to take the plastic bag from her hand, but the child held it tightly with her fingers.

"I'm leaving..."

Yuanyuan said softly that she really wanted to have her own family, but she didn't want to be a burden to her father.

She didn't know it before, but now that she knows, she won't burden her father anymore.

"Why are you walking? Where do you want to go?"

Lu Zheng pried her fingers apart, took the bag from her hand and threw it on the sofa, then picked her up and looked into her eyes with his deep eyes.

"do not know…"

Yuanyuan shook her head, not knowing where to go.

"If you walk out like this, you'll be kidnapped and sold in less than two minutes."

Lu Zheng gently pinched her little face. His expression looked a little stiff, but his tone was obviously still gentle.

"I don't want to be a burden, and I don't want to see my father get scolded."

Yuanyuan clenched her fists, but tears still fell.

"You are my child. It is up to me to decide whether you are a burden or not. Why are you listening to irrelevant people?"

Lu Zheng stood up holding the child. It was already eleven o'clock after all this trouble. It was time for him to take the child to have lunch.

"..."

Feng Nuan felt heartbroken when her own son called her an irrelevant person, but she also saw that he really liked this child, so she didn't say anything more.

Yuanyuan sat in her father's arms and was carried into the elevator. The claustrophobic space was very quiet. She whispered again: "I always cause my father to get scolded..."

"They always criticize me no matter what I do. It doesn't matter how they think it is. We are a family."

Lu Zheng didn't care what Feng Nuan and Lu Chao thought. Some of them thought that the child would affect his future, while others thought it was shameful to have a son like him.

"What if I'm not Dad's child?"

Yuanyuan suddenly asked a nonsensical question. She also felt that it was a wonderful thing to suddenly become her father's child.

"You must be my child. If you are not my child, you can't leave. I can't raise you for so long in vain.

When I am old, you must take care of me like I took care of you, and provide for me until the end of my life."

Lu Zheng read on the Internet that if you don't get married, you will be free and happy when you are young, but you will be lonely and miserable when you are old. If he has a child, he won't have to worry about that.

He no longer has to worry about being beaten when he gets old and goes to a nursing home.

"Dad, what is that?"

Yuanyuan pointed at the picture of sundae on the glass at the entrance of McDonald's. She and her father had passed by here many times.

“Ice cream…”

Lu Zheng raised his eyes and looked at the child who came in. He hadn't eaten a hamburger for a long time, so he could bring his child to try it.

The father and daughter ordered a cookie-flavored ice cream, a children's meal, and a family bucket meal.

It was the little one’s first time eating ice cream. The sweet and cool taste stimulated his taste buds, and the chocolate chip cookies on it were also delicious.

"Eat less ice. If you eat another bite, you won't be allowed to eat."

When Lu Zheng saw her licking half of the ice cream, he thought that she couldn't eat any more. Children have fragile stomachs and should not eat too much.

But this kind of food often has a fatal attraction to children, especially in such a hot summer day, it is even more irresistible.

“Give me a bite…”

Seeing that the child still refused to stop, he had to use his trump card.

"Give…"

Yuanyuan generously handed him the ice cream, but her father took a bite of the ice cream, leaving only half of the cone for her.

"..."

The child held the ice cream cone in his hand, his eyes becoming dull.

"what happened?"

"No? Did you eat it all?"

The bottom half of the McDonald's ice cream cone is hollow. Yuanyuan turned it over and shook her wrist, but not a drop of ice cream came out.

"Did you eat it all? Didn't I leave half for you?"

Lu Zheng started eating his burger and gave her some French fries.

"..."

Yuanyuan silently finished the half of the ice cream cone and ate the French fries dejectedly.

Dad really is a very good bad dad.

However, the other snacks were also delicious and quickly dispelled the child’s dissatisfaction.

On the way home, Lu Zheng took the children to a Western restaurant and packed up a steak pasta and pineapple seafood fried rice.

He remembered that Feng Nuan used to love eating this fried rice. Since everyone was already here, they still had to eat, and he was just doing his best as a son.

After the father and daughter returned home, Feng Nuan was still sitting in the living room, feeling angry and helpless.

She hadn't had contact with her son for a long time, and she didn't expect the relationship to become so awkward.

"Have a meal…"

Lu Zheng placed the packed food in front of her, then sat on the sofa holding the child and watched cartoons.

When I opened the lunch box, a light pineapple fragrance wafted into my face. These were all Feng Nuan’s favorites.

She didn't expect that after she had been away from City Z for so many years, her son could still remember her taste. A warm feeling welled up in her heart.

"What did you have for lunch?"

"McDonald's…"

"Don't bring these with your children. Children are more suitable for eating something light and nutritious."

"Um…"

Lu Zheng looked at the TV and responded to her words perfunctorily.

"..."

Feng Nuan knew his temper. If it were in the past, he might have argued with her, but such a cold response made her feel particularly uncomfortable.

I owe him too much over the years.

Halfway through her meal, a video call invitation popped up on her phone. It was from her daughter Lin Yao.

"How long are you going to stay with him, Mom?"

The clear voice of a little girl came from the other side, and she was too disdainful to call Lu Zheng, her half-brother.

"I'll be back in two days. You have to listen to your father at home."

Feng Nuan's face looked a little embarrassed. She looked towards the father and daughter and met Lu Zheng's eyes, then moved away in panic and guiltily.

"Dad's cooking isn't good. Mom, please come back early. I miss you so much at home."

"Okay, I'll make you your favorite chicken wings and ribs when I get back, okay?"

"it is good…"

"..."

The mother and daughter chatted for about ten minutes, and Feng Nuan explained various precautions to her daughter in a gentle and considerate manner.

After hanging up the phone, the living room suddenly became quiet and the TV was muted.

"A Zheng, do you have classes in the afternoon? I can help you take care of the child."

"have…"

Lu Zheng did have classes in the afternoon and had originally planned to take his children out after a while.
