Be in low spirits

"She said that after her father and mother separated, her father would beat people and get angry. She wanted a happy family. I feel so sorry for her. She must have suffered a lot in the past, and now she can't even be born in this world. What should I do?" Thinking of this, she felt like she was very sorry for her daughter, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

He took her hand and comforted her: "It's okay, we can give her a happy home here."

"What should I do? I don't seem to be a good mother, wuwuwu..." She never blamed herself for others before, but after having a daughter, she always felt that she owed too much.

Li Li stood up and hugged her. He understood this feeling too well. It was meaningless to say more about this matter. When she had almost finished crying, he wiped away her tears and said softly, "You have done very well. Compared to you, I am not a good father."

"So, from the beginning... I should have found a father for him." She choked after a few words and added intermittently, "Otherwise, she wouldn't have to follow me to work not long after she was born, and she wouldn't have to squeeze into the bus. She didn't have as many toys as other children, and she didn't have so many clothes when she was a child. I should have found her a good father with money... wuwuwu..."

When she said this, Li Li pursed his lips, speechless and unable to respond. She wiped the snot and tears from her face with her hands, and then wiped her hands on his clothes repeatedly.

"Hey, hey, my pajamas!"

"Why don't you just change it?" She sniffed again.

"I...you...tell me the truth, do you want to change the father for the baby or do you want to change your husband?"

She thought about what he asked, looked up and asked, "This... doesn't it all mean the same thing?"

"How dare you think about it!"

"Ahem, it's too late, time to go to bed." Feeling a little guilty, she put her legs down from the armrest and stood up from the sofa. "Remember to turn off the power to the floor scrubber later."

"You don't really think so, do you?" He grabbed her and refused to let go. "Oh, your pajamas are so dirty, wasn't that just an analogy?" She said a few perfunctory words and decided to go back to see the child.

"What was your former classmate called, Zhang Dong or Ma Dong?"

"Oh, let's go to sleep. You still have Cheng Xi here, and you're still criticizing me." She closed the door and went to sleep.

"You don't need anything tonight?" He was a little disappointed. He turned off the power of the floor scrubber and went back to the second bedroom to sleep. He had never expected Cheng Xi to appear. He didn't know who she was waiting for.

After get off work and dinner, he played with his child downstairs. Thinking of what his wife said, he asked the child, "Doesn't Yuanyuan like Daddy talking to Mommy too much?"

"I kind of want to climb that tree. Should I ask mom?"

"No need, Dad will take you there." He wanted to hold the child's hand, but the child was unwilling and went straight to the tree.

The two of them were discussing how to climb up under the tree, while Kong Zhixi was sitting in the distance watching.

Li Li squatted down and said to her: "Daddy will carry you up."

"No!" The child still resisted. "You climb up first, and then, then I'll be at the bottom, you, you pull me up." She said in a baby voice, and it seemed that she had spent a long time organizing her words, and she pointed at the branch above with her chubby hands.

"Then you wait for me downstairs." He was wearing navy blue sweatpants, a white sleeveless shirt, and a light blue striped shirt. When he came out, he listened to his wife's advice and put on sneakers.

Yuanyuan stood under the tree and watched him climb up. She was a little nervous, but then she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him climb up easily. She hugged the tree and wanted to climb up as well. Li Li asked her to stretch out her hand. She hugged the tree with both hands and reached out to him with difficulty. Kong Zhixi stood up there and watched nervously. Although she didn't climb very high, she looked so clumsy that she might fall down at any time.

Just as she was about to fall, Li Li grabbed her wrist in time and carried her up the tree. She sat on the branch and greeted her mother happily: "Mom, look at me, I can climb high now."

Kong Zhixi's heart was finally at ease, and her father also greeted them from behind.

After coaxing the child to sleep at night, she sat on the sofa in front of the French window and said, "Yuanyuan is willing to let you hold her."

"That's right. At that time, I was afraid that she would get upset. Do you think I can go back to the master bedroom soon?"

"Aren't you sleeping well in the second bedroom? Why do you have to sleep in the master bedroom?"

"No, I can't sleep well. I can only sleep peacefully when I see you two." He dried his hair and threw the towel into the laundry basket on the balcony. "How about you stay with me for a while?" He walked from the balcony to the sofa by the French window, pulled Kong Zhixi up from the sofa and held her in his arms, whispering in her ear.

"Oh, you're here again! Yuanyuan will see it." She tried to break free from his arms.

"You don't let me sleep in the master bedroom, and you don't want to accompany me. This is an unfair clause."

"Didn't we agree that it would be fine as long as your daughter accepts you?" They had discussed this issue many times.

"Hey, I can't even coax you, and now I want to coax a daughter." He refused to let go, and when he smelled the scent of Qingmu tea on her body, his body also felt relaxed.

She grabbed the corner of his clothes and thought of Cheng Xilai. "What do you mean you can't do it? You obviously have several female confidantes."

"Jealous again? Where can you find a confidante?" Every time he heard her being jealous, he felt secretly happy in his heart.

"He can do that when he coaxes other women, but he's just perfunctory when it comes to coaxing your wife and children." She clearly saw him eating out with Cheng Xi, but he kept silent about it when he got home.

"How do you want me to coax you? I've given you all my salary and savings, and I'm offering myself to you, but you refuse." He held her in his arms, unwilling to let her go, but also unwilling to force her.

"Are you feeling guilty?" She looked up at him, wanting him to speak it out himself.

"Why are you feeling guilty?" He didn't understand, but he felt that the person in his arms was not in a good mood.

"I saw you guys having dinner together." She took his hands off her waist and sat on the sofa. She originally felt that if she said these words, she would appear petty, but if she didn't say them, she would feel uncomfortable.

"We are just catching up. If you don't like it, I won't see you again." He felt a little guilty, and he really didn't know how to explain it to Cheng Xi.

"Mom~" Yuanyuan cried in the room, and she quickly ran into the room and hugged the child to comfort him. The child stopped crying when he saw his mother, wiped the tears and snot on his face, and lay down to listen to his mother singing a lullaby. "Mom, are you secretly kissing Dad again?"

The child saw Li Li kiss her forehead twice, and she cried in her dreams at night. "No, mom is talking to dad. Be good, Yuanyuan, mom will accompany you to sleep."

"Why does Dad always want to sleep here with us? Does he want to kiss you secretly?" It is a bit difficult to coax the child back to sleep after waking up.

Li Li sighed and sat on the sofa where she had just been lying. It looked like tonight would be another sleepless night.

In the room, Kong Zhixi explained to her daughter: "No, we didn't kiss secretly. That was a goodnight kiss. Before Yuanyuan goes to sleep, doesn't mom also give Yuanyuan a kiss?"

"Will dad also kiss that aunt?" Yuanyuan has been a little sensitive lately, and seems to be wavering between accepting and rejecting Li Li as a father.

"That's between Dad and Auntie. Let Dad handle it himself, okay? We should go to bed, or we won't be able to get up tomorrow." She tucked the child in and lay down herself. Li Li's voice came from the crack in the door: "Wife, are you going to bed?"

"Close the door." The child fell asleep and she wanted to sleep too.

Li Li closed the door, walked in quietly, sat on the edge of the bed, and said, "Listen to my explanation. We were just having a meal together. There was really nothing going on. I don't know why she is here. If you are unhappy, I will never meet her again, okay?"

"I didn't say anything, why are you so nervous?" She also sat up and argued with him.

"I'm just afraid that you will misunderstand me. Don't be angry. Can I sleep here tonight?" He looked at the child sleeping next to him and made another request.

"Then have you ever thought about who she is waiting for here?"

"I don't know, she didn't say." Seeing that she didn't refuse, he climbed onto the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and prepared to go to sleep.

"You have to get up before Yuanyuan wakes up." She instructed, and then lay down to sleep.

As long as I can keep an eye on them, it doesn't matter what happens. "Make sure you complete the mission."
