never far away

Lin An finished reading three storybooks to Tuantuan, and took him to bathe Guigui.Tuantuan excitedly applied the shower gel to Guigui, and said in surprise, "Guigui is so good, he doesn't make trouble after taking a bath."

Lin An took the opportunity to praise him, "It's because you're washing it that it doesn't make noise, and it usually makes a lot of noise."

"Really? It's thanks to me." Tuantuan laughed. He looked a bit like Lin Wei when he laughed. Lin An was stunned for a moment and stared at him for a long time. Tuantuan noticed, "Uncle, Tuantuan's face Is there any bubbles too?"

"No." Lin An suddenly tapped his cheek with a foamy finger, and said with a smirk, "Now there is."

"Uncle is bad, I'll come too."

In the end, the two people and the cat in the bathroom were covered with foam. Lin An smiled and washed Gui Gui clean first, then stripped off the balls of wet clothes, and put him in the bathtub filled with hot water.

Tuantuan was flushed from the hot water, playing with the bubbles in the water, and suddenly said, "Dad must be very envious, uncle bathed me."

His words were a bit vague, and it took Lin An a long time to figure it out. He held back the urge to ask "Why is Dad envious?" and played with him for a while before holding him out to wash off the foam, and using his big Wrap him in a towel and carry him to the sofa.

Li Sifei had already dried up the water on Gui Gui's body, and when he saw Tuantuan, he whistled, "Oh, the beauty is out of the bath."

Tuantuan didn't quite understand what he said, instinctively felt shy, and curled up in Lin An's arms.Lin An took out clothes from the bag and put them on for Tuan Tuan, then went to take a shower, changed his clothes, washed Tuan Tuan's wet clothes and hung them up to dry.

At noon, he made a few dishes such as braised pork ribs, steamed eggs and so on. Tuan Tuan had a particularly good appetite. After eating two bowls of rice, his belly was round. Lin An regretted not stopping him, and finally could only hug him While gently rubbing his stomach to digest his food, he read another storybook to him.

After reading for an hour and a half, I coaxed him to sleep, hugged him to sleep on my own bed, and then gently closed the door.Li Sifei leaned over, "Seeing how caring you are, are you really your own nephew?"

Lin An nodded, "It's true."

"I've never heard you mention it. By the way, you went to dinner with them last weekend?"

"Yes."

Li Sifei suddenly realized, suddenly felt embarrassed, stuck out his tongue, "I'm sorry, I thought you lied to me, and I lost my temper with you."

"It's okay." Li Sifei often lost his temper in the past few years, but Lin An didn't take it to heart.He picked up the scattered things in the living room, sat on the sofa and fell asleep for a while, and went into the room two hours later to wake up Tuan Tuan gently.Tuantuan was awakened from a sweet dream, she didn't cry, she just stretched out her hands and shouted "hug" without looking at her eyes.Lin An hugged him back and forth several times before Tuantuan finally regained consciousness, struggled to get off the ground and played with Guigui again.

When Lin Wei rang the doorbell, Tuantuan was playing a clapping game with Guigui. He stretched out one hand and stood in front of Guigui, and Guigui would stretch out a paw to give him a "high five", which made him very excited.Lin An opened the door, and Lin Wei's eyes softened when he heard "giggling" laughter inside.

Seeing him, Tuantuan hurried over to ask him to hug him, put his arms around his neck, and whispered in his ear, "Dad, I miss you so much."

Lin Wei was used to his acting like a baby, "Are you good today?"

"It's good, I even helped uncle give Guigui a bath."

"Really? After washing, you need to take a bath too, right?" Lin Wei knew the situation clearly when he saw that he had changed his clothes.

"That's me and my uncle playing bubble fights."

Lin Wei looked at Lin An in surprise, Lin An nodded nervously, and went to pour tea in a panic, "Sit down for a while."

"Ah."

Li Sifei had already walked out, and was stunned when he saw Lin Wei, who had already greeted him, "Hello, my name is Lin Wei."

"Oh... oh hello, my name is Li Sifei..." Li Sifei was a little stunned. He had never seen a man who could iron a suit so well. It can be seen that even a button on his body is worth a lot.

"Well, Tuantuan bothered you, a small gift is not a respect." He handed a small bag in his hand to Li Sifei, and Li Sifei took it, and at a glance, he saw clearly that it was a long-awaited brand-name long wallet. ,expensive.He was so elated that he spoke incoherently, "It's nothing, he's a good boy, it's nothing...how can you be so embarrassing..."

Lin An put the teacup on the coffee table, looked at Li Sifei hesitantly, and wanted to tell him to refuse the gift, but seeing his cheerful look, he probably couldn't stop him, so he could only sigh secretly.

Lin Wei looked at him, "Let's go after a while, I've already made a reservation." Lin An just wanted to refuse, but Lin Wei said to Li Sifei, "Mr. location."

When Li Sifei heard the word "Yuelongju", he knew that it was one of the best restaurants in the city, so he immediately nodded, "Okay, okay, let's go together."

Lin Wei turned her eyes back and looked at Lin An quietly.Lin An pulled out a weak smile, "... let's go."

After going downstairs, Li Sifei saw Lin Wei's luxury car, and hurriedly got into the passenger seat. Lin Wei frowned unobtrusively, opened the rear door, and put Tuantuan on the safety seat.Lin An and Tuan Tuan sat in the back, looked up and saw that Li Sifei was already taking a selfie with his mobile phone.He also excitedly turned his head and asked Lin An if he could take a picture together, Lin An shook his head.

The car drove smoothly into the main road. Li Sifei posted the photo on Weibo with text, and asked curiously, "What does Brother Lin do? Looks like he has a good career."

"Engineering, just general."

"It's too modest. How can someone who can drive this kind of car be just average?" Li Sifei's face was ruddy and his eyes sparkled, "An'an, why didn't you mention to me that you have such a great brother?"

Lin An didn't know how to answer, but Lin Wei had already opened her mouth, "The family relationship is a bit complicated, so it's inconvenient to tell outsiders."

Li Sifei's face froze for a moment, he laughed dryly, and didn't speak any more.

When they arrived at "Yuelongju", the waiter invited them into the private room. Lin Wei took the menu and ordered a few dishes that Lin An and Tuantuan liked, and then pushed the menu in front of Li Sifei, "I don't know Mr. Li's taste, Look at what dishes you like, you can cook all the eight major domestic cuisines here.”

Li Sifei carefully ordered two dishes, Lin Wei added three more desserts, and then asked Li Sifei, "What kind of dessert does Mr. Li like?"

"Just like you..."

The food came to the table quickly, and Lin Weiyi started to talk with Lin An about the decoration as before, asking about the composition of several materials, and how to design the layout to be safer for children, etc. Basically ignored Li Sifei.Li Sifei also has a lot of eyes. He naturally knew that the other party looked down on him, and he was a little angry, but he didn't dare to lose his temper in an unfamiliar environment, so he could only bear it aggrieved.

The meal that I was looking forward to was not happy at all. The family next to me was happy and harmonious, but I was an outsider, and I couldn't get involved in their atmosphere at all.And Lin An didn't notice the change in his mood at all, he still talked to Lin Wei slowly, taking care of Tuantuan carefully.

Finally after dinner, Lin Wei sent them downstairs. Tuantuan was very reluctant to let Lin An go, hugged his neck and refused to let him go, until Lin An kissed him several times and promised to spend the next week together, he did not let him go. Reluctantly kissing Lin An, he let go.Li Sifei suddenly leaned over, "Tuantuan, kiss your brother too."

Tuantuan was stunned for a while, really didn't want to kiss, so he looked at Lin Wei.Lin Wei picked him up, "Sorry, Tuantuan is a bit shy." After speaking, he put Tuantuan into the car, said "goodbye" and drove away.

Li Sifei blushed as if he had been slapped in the face in public, ran upstairs angrily, and slammed the door hard.Lin An was a few steps behind him, and he shut the door, but he didn't bring the key.After knocking on the door several times, Li Sifei didn't respond, and Lin An didn't answer his phone calls. He sighed and didn't know what to do, so he could only stand outside the door and wait.

He couldn't figure out why he lost his temper just because of a child's rejection?And this behavior is indeed excessive.He thought about it, edited a text message and sent it. ——Open the door, I will take my luggage and leave.

The door opened quickly, Li Sifei's face was full of tears, and his tone was a little anxious, "What luggage? Where are you going?"

Lin An walked in and sat on the sofa, "Sifei, sit down, let's have a good talk."

Li Sifei suddenly screamed, "Talk about what? About the matter you are leaving? I don't want to talk about it, I won't talk about it with you!"

Lin looked at him quietly, "Noisy can't solve the problem, Sifei, I have given you a lot of time."

Li Sifei's tears rolled down his cheeks, his eyes were unprecedentedly desperate, "I don't want to quarrel with you, but you insisted on dragging me to say, is it because of money? I won't buy unnecessary things anymore, I will also make good money, can I go to find a job tomorrow? An An, please...don't talk anymore..."

Lin An sighed, "It's not just that."

"What else?"

"Sifei, in fact, if I continue like this, I will delay you and harm you. It's not just about money." Lin An rubbed his painful forehead, "I don't like you, I shouldn't let you have illusions, Let's live separately, and we will be friends in the future."

Li Sifei's lips trembled, and after a while, he suddenly sneered, "Is it because I recognized my rich brother's family that I was thrown away? Lin An, you forgot who was in your clothes when you were dying of illness Take care of you? Have you forgotten who is helping you when you have no place to live and no money to eat? Don’t you think you have no conscience when you do this?”

Lin An took out a ledger from the bedroom and placed it on the coffee table, "This is the record of our income and expenditure over the years. I don't think I've ever apologized to you, and I don't owe you anything anymore."

"Heh... you still have this trick..." Li Sifei became crazy. He tore the account book into pieces like crazy, smashed the things in the room, and finally looked at the book with tearful eyes. Lin An kept apologizing, and then said that he would change.

Lin An didn't hesitate this time, and walked out with his few luggage regardless of the hissing behind him.
