Be in low spirits

Although Yuanyuan didn't know, it was not a good idea to always secretly go back to the master bedroom to sleep. What's more, his wife could always use the child as an excuse to reject him. After thinking about it, he decided to redecorate the second bedroom and find time to move out all the things in it. He put everything that could be put into the closet into the closet, and asked the children for their opinions on the other items one by one. He also put everything that could be put on the balcony on the balcony.

Seeing that he had almost packed the children's things, the two asked him for the car keys to go to the zoo.

"For activities like at the zoo, don't you think it would be better for her to have a father by her side?" He always felt that he should be present at any parent-child activities during this period of time.

Although it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, it was just to kill time. "We have to find a place to go. You can just pack up at home. Going out is too tiring after all."

"Yuanyuan, wouldn't it be nice for Dad to go with you?" Since his wife didn't agree, he asked someone else.

Yuanyuan, wearing her little hat, looked up and asked, "Mom, isn't Dad going with us?"

"Of course Dad will go. Wait a minute, I'll come after I change my clothes." He agreed without hesitation.

This was the child's first time to the zoo. She was excited and scared by all the animals she saw. Although she was sitting in a stroller, she still wanted to be held from time to time. She was already four years old, and it was very difficult for Kong Zhixi to hold her. When facing her father, she became independent. When he stretched out his hand, she always put her hands behind her back and walked straight away.

When she got to the giraffe, she was very happy because there was grass to feed. She couldn't reach it, so she turned to look for her mother. Her mother said that she had to ask her father for this job. Her father squatted down and asked, "Has Yuanyuan ever ridden on a giraffe's neck?" The child took two steps back, grabbed her mother's hand, and said to her father, "But it's too high, I'm scared."

"Don't be afraid, Dad will protect you."

"Really?" The child seemed a little excited when he heard this. His eyes turned red and he looked like he was about to cry. I don't know if he recalled some bad memories.

"Don't be afraid, Yuanyuan. Daddy will protect you. Mom promises it." Kong Zhixi squatted down and assured her.

Seeing the child nod, Li Li squatted in front of her. She climbed onto her father's shoulders and fed grass to the giraffe. Both father and daughter were very happy. They flew up on his shoulders, and she followed behind pushing the cart.

It was already past four o'clock when they returned from the zoo. The child fell asleep, so she took the child back to the room to sleep. She got up to prepare dinner, but Li Li had changed into pajamas and opened the door of the master bedroom, wanting to take a nap with her.

"What are you doing?" She looked at the person standing at the door. He was becoming more and more familiar with going to the master bedroom.

"Take a nap, hurry up. You have to get up and prepare dinner after an hour. Let's sleep for a while together." As he said that, he pushed the person onto the bed.

"Uh, wait a minute, I'll change into my pajamas first, you go out first." In terms of time, there was indeed only an hour left for a nap.

"You change yours. It's not like I haven't seen it before. I'll sleep with Yuanyuan." He climbed onto the bed, looked at his daughter, and felt that his daughter was the cutest person in the world.

Kong Zhixi had no choice but to take her pajamas to the second bedroom to change into them, then went back to the master bedroom to sleep between the father and daughter.

"Wife, did you see how happy our daughter was playing on my shoulders today?" He put his arm around her waist, as if he was showing off something he was very proud of.

"I see. When she grows a little bigger, you probably won't be able to hold her anymore." Yuanyuan has grown very fast this year.

He put his hand under her neck and hugged her shoulders, "It doesn't matter, as long as you can acknowledge me as your father."

It was already 11 o'clock in the evening when she put the child to sleep. As usual, she sat on the sofa, thinking about Yuanyuan's reaction when she heard that sentence today.

"What are you thinking about?" Li Li sat next to her after taking a shower. This was the time exclusively for the couple to be alone.

"I was thinking about Yuanyuan's reaction when she heard what you said today. It seems that her previous father beat her many times." Whenever she thought of the suffering Yuanyuan had endured in the past, she felt guilty.

"We can protect her." He held her hand and promised seriously.

"Then why are you cleaning the second bedroom?" Her hair had just been blown dry and the breeze blew gently, blowing a few strands onto her face.

"I... wasn't thinking that she would grow up eventually, and the second bedroom would be hers sooner or later. If I cleaned it up sooner, wouldn't she be able to adapt sooner?"

"Nothing else?" She smoothed the hair off her face, stood up and walked to him.

"What do you think it means?" He also stood up and put his arm around her waist, tempting her, "It's what you think it means."

"Have you guessed what I meant?" Even if she took the initiative to ask for something, she would still blush.

He lifted her waist, picked her up and walked towards the room, "Of course I have to serve my wife's needs at any time." Kong Zhixi hung on him with her legs clamped together.

After making love, he held her in his arms, thinking that they would go back to the master bedroom together after she calmed down.

Kong Zhixi fell asleep slowly, so he could only help her put on her clothes and carry her back to the master bedroom to lie down together. Sometimes he thought it was good to be here, they had both eternity and day and night.

In the morning, Yuanyuan passed by the second bedroom and looked at it for a long time. She felt that it was different from before. She thought about it for a long time at the dining table and finally decided to complain: "Mom, Dad threw my toy."

Kong Zhixi didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this, and said to the person opposite: "Dad, think of a solution."

"I asked about it one by one yesterday." Does this girl have the memory of a fish? She forgets it after sleeping? Wouldn't it cost a lot of money to make up for it? Not to mention that he has no money now, even if he has money, his wife can't let him spend it.

"Why don't I remember?" The daughter was no longer timid in front of her father, but instead spoke with confidence.

"Ask dad to go shopping for toys with you this afternoon."

"Great!" The child was very happy to hear that there were new toys.

At this time, the doorbell rang. Li Li exclaimed, "Who is it so early in the morning?" He went to open the door, and the person who came was his childhood friend Cheng Xi.

The three members of the family were very surprised. Yuanyuan pointed at the person and said to her mother, "Oh, it's the auntie from that day!"

Kong Zhixi stood up somewhat awkwardly, grabbed the child's finger, and said "hush" to her. The child also imitated her and said "hush" softly.

Li Li was also a little embarrassed. He had just promised not to meet her a few days ago, but changed his mind today. It seemed that he really couldn't swear casually. "Um... Cheng Xi? Why didn't you tell me before you came?" He stood in the doorway, stuck in the middle, not knowing whether he should let anyone in.

"Honey, please let someone in to talk." Seeing his embarrassment, she had no choice but to speak, and also to appear not to be too petty.

"Okay, you come in first." He touched his nose nervously, thinking that today would not be an easy day.

Cheng Xi was carrying a few gift boxes, which were toys for the children. "I saw Yuanyuan at the mall last time, so I thought of buying her some gifts." He handed the gift boxes to Li Li.

"You're here so why do you bring so many things?" He looked at his wife again, and he didn't know whether he should accept these things or not.

"Come, come, come in first. Have you had breakfast?" The child stood on a stool and hugged her mother's waist. Kong Zhixi stood there and called her in.

Li Li had no choice but to put away his things and let her come in and sit down. "Hello, sister-in-law. Oh, Yuanyuan still remembers Auntie!" Cheng Xi naturally sat in Li Li's seat and wanted to shake hands with the child.

"I'm sorry, the child is shy." She hugged the child and continued to sit down, finishing the breakfast in the bowl and feeding the child.

"I'm sorry to bother you so early." Although he said that, he actually sat very naturally.

"Have you had breakfast? Want to eat together? Honey, go to the kitchen and get a set of bowls and chopsticks." She shouted while feeding the child.

"No, no, I came here after I had dinner. No need to bother." She waved her hands repeatedly.

Li Li brought her a set of bowls and chopsticks and sat next to her. Yuanyuan looked at him and blurted out, "Bad dad!"

The three adults were looking at her. She looked at her mother. Kong Zhixi explained, "It should be about what you promised her this morning to buy her a toy."

"Yuanyuan, didn't we agree to go there in the afternoon?" He would always lower his voice unconsciously when talking to his daughter, and he would become sunny and gentle, which was something Cheng Xi had never seen before.

"Bad dad!" the child repeated again, unwilling to continue eating breakfast. He climbed down from the dining chair and sat on the sofa sulking.

"You guys continue chatting, I'll just coax her." Kong Zhixi put down the breakfast in her hand and smiled at the two of them.
