Day0421:45

Bubu was tired from crying, his eyes were red and swollen, like a little goldfish with bubble eyes, lying on Songran's shoulder and screaming sleepily.Songran hugged him up and coaxed him softly: "Boob, brother will take you to wash Xiangxiang, after washing, let's go to bed, okay?"

"it is good……"

Boubo was weak, and his little head drooped sleepily.

Song Ran carried him to take a bath, and there was an empty bedroom in the surveillance screen.

He Zhiyuan estimated that it would take at least half an hour for the two of them to come out, so he went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee.When he came back with coffee, Boo Boo had already finished washing. He was lying on the bed wrapped in a small bath towel, dozing in a daze, while Song Ran stood in front of the wardrobe, rummaging through a large cabinet for clothes.

"Pajamas, pajamas...where are the pajamas?"

He chattered while pulling.

The white T-shirt was wet from the bath water, and it stuck to the skin translucently, revealing a narrow waistline.Probably because the wet clothes felt a little uncomfortable, Song Ran simply reached out and grabbed the hem of the clothes, and took off the T-shirt.

He Zhiyuan's Adam's apple twitched, and he unconsciously swallowed the coffee in his mouth.

Unexpectedly, Songran has a pretty good figure--fair complexion, he should be engaged in indoor work, but his back muscles are well-proportioned, his shoulders are sharp, and he looks young and energetic. If he can do equipment assistance for a while , I believe it will be more interesting.

He Zhiyuan has been exercising for 14 years and holds a professional personal trainer certificate issued by ACE, but he has never taken a student with him. This time he came up with the idea of ​​bringing Songran to practice together after returning to China.

Song Ran has no idea that he has been seen by others, and he is still performing his duties as a baby daddy faithfully.He dug out a set of little yellow duck pajamas from the closet, picked up the collar and shook it, picked up Boubo who was sleeping in a puddle of soft mud, put his two small arms into the sleeves first, and his two short legs Put it into the trousers, and button one by one.

During the process, Boubo was in a sleepy state, melting in his arms like cotton candy, swaying this way and that, being manipulated by others, twisting into various funny poses, no matter how much he tossed about, he didn't wake up.Seeing that the child was fast asleep, Song Ran gently put him in the bed, but the moment he withdrew his hands, Bu Bu woke up with a start.

"Brother!" Bubu quickly grabbed one of his fingers and asked nervously, "Are you leaving?"

Song Ran hurriedly said: "I'm not leaving. I'll go outside to comfort Sister Lin Hui and come back. She's crying just like you. Bubu can sleep peacefully. I promise, when you open your eyes next time, I must have slept next to you."

Boubo raised his little finger: "Pull Gogou!"

Song Ran hooked up with him, and then he felt relieved, raised his head and begged for a goodnight kiss, and buried himself in the bed to sleep obediently.

He Zhiyuan looked at them with deep emotion - such a simple and warm interaction has not happened between him and Bubu for a long time.Bubu is more dependent on Songran than he imagined. In front of Songran, the child will take off the mask and hold out a young and fragile heart to win understanding and pray for care.Compared with his real father, it seems that Song Ran is the one who Bu Bu can really rely on.

The reality is depressing, but He Zhiyuan is not annoyed.

It was him who was wrong, not Songran.

After Bubu fell asleep, Songran went to the bathroom, dried the T-shirt with a hair dryer, and put it back on.Before going out, he saw the brightly colored children's mobile phone dropped on the bed, and the screen was completely black, so he took it out along the way.

Xiao Q, who had been squatting in the corner, saw the displacement of the observation target, quickly woke up from the standby state, and followed Song Ran like a bug.Song Ran didn't pay attention, and moved the door casually, the door panel slammed open, causing Xiao Q to rotate thirty degrees, and the monitoring screen shook violently, as if He Zhiyuan's living room had encountered a spectacular magnitude [-] earthquake.

Mr. He, who always pays attention to the demo, frowned, put down his coffee cup, and wrote a line in Xiao Q's question notes: the shock absorption is too poor, and needs to be optimized.

Fortunately, Xiao Q was very strong, and nothing major happened.After being dizzy for a few seconds, it automatically adjusted its direction of travel and followed Song Ran out.

Lin Hui was drowsy in the living room. When Songran came out, the sleepy bugs on her eyelids disappeared in an instant, and she asked with concern, "How is Boo Boo? Are you still crying?"

"It's good, stop crying." Song Ran smiled and pointed to his head, "I'm not doing well, my brain cells are dying."

Lin Hui hurriedly made room for him on the sofa: "Is it so hard?"

Song Ran raised his eyebrows: "Of course, coaxing a child is a technical job, and it takes a lot of energy, especially like Boo Boo, who is smart and sensitive. If he has a wrong expression, he will give up. Coax him once, and he won't have the energy to tell a lie in three days talk."

He sat down next to Lin Hui, and handed over the phone: "Okay, anyway, I've covered the trouble for you, and now you only have one task - call and apologize to Mr. He."

When Lin Hui heard it, she jumped three feet away like a spring: "Don't, don't, I don't dare!"

Song Ran asked strangely, "Why don't you dare?"

Lin Hui's voice was as soft as a mosquito's: "I... I will be fired."

Song Ran couldn't stop laughing, opened her five fingers, and forced the phone into it: "If you don't call, you won't be fired? This logic doesn't work. If Mr. He really wants to quit you, you pretend to be deaf." It's useless to be dumb. Hurry up, stretch out your head, retract your head, be brave and hit."

"Don't!" Lin Hui couldn't avoid it, and threw the phone back to him like a hot potato, "If you fire, you'll be fired. At worst, you'll leave, and if you call to apologize, you'll be scolded. I won't do it if it's such a loss. !"

Song Ran was thoughtful, and waved to her: "Come on, sit down, let's talk about this issue."

Lin Hui reluctantly moved closer by ten centimeters.

Seeing her resistance, Song Ran took the initiative to sit over and looked at her seriously: "Lin Hui, no matter what decision Mr. You made a mistake and damaged the image of the company. You should apologize to make it up, right? Second, Mr. He is Bubu’s father, and you made him cry. Worry. Now that the child is fine, you should call to report his safety and reassure him, isn't it right?"

Lin Hui was so entangled, she stroked her hair and didn't answer for a long time - she understood the reason, but... she was so scared.

Song Ran encouraged her: "Don't be afraid, Mr. He is not a vicious person. He is a gentleman and very reasonable. If you apologize to him sincerely, he will not make things difficult for you."

Lin Hui was dubious: "Really?"

"Well, really."

She buried her head in struggling for a long time, but she still lacked courage, so she bargained with Songran: "You are so familiar with Bubu, you should also be familiar with Mr. He, right? How about you convey my apology for me?"

Song Ran smiled awkwardly: "Other things are fine, but this one is really not good, so what... I was blocked by him."

As he spoke, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Lin Hui asked what was going on in surprise, he shrugged his shoulders, and said embarrassedly: "It's just... I'll tell him, we don't get along very well with the neighbors, there was a quarrel two days ago, it was quite big, The favorability level has accidentally changed to negative. Now he doesn’t want to see me very much, and hangs up the phone when he hears my voice. If I come forward to apologize for you, I guess you will not only lose your job, but also have to pay some extra money. "

Lin Hui was shocked: "So serious? Don't you say he doesn't embarrass others?"

Song Ran was quite embarrassed by being hit in the face by the speed of light, so he had to pour dirty water on himself: "Uh, this... I am a special case, especially the annoying one."

Lin Hui immediately poured back a bucket of water: "Wow, you are so attractive! Look, you are handsome, good-tempered, and in good shape. You can also coax children. All in all, you can score four and a half stars. Put it on a blind date." The market is definitely hot, Mr. He doesn't want to see you, he is blind, I want to see you... You, do you have a girlfriend?"

Seeing her digressing far from the topic, Song Ran couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't interrupt, call."

Lin Hui chased after her: "Is there anything?"

"No."

The little girl immediately became excited, with pink hearts popping out of her eyes: "What a coincidence, I don't have a boyfriend either, why don't we give it a try?"

The confession of love came surging and without warning, comparable to a thunderstorm.Song Ran was choked by her passionate flame, and coughed repeatedly: "You...you call first, and we'll talk about other things later."

Lin Hui took advantage of the fire and said, "Promise me first!"

"I..." Song Ran couldn't stand it anymore, and was forced to move out of the Infiniti male god, "Lin Hui, I'm indeed single, but I still have a crush and I'm chasing him. Maybe someday I'll get out of the single, so I can't be with you. Contact, understand?"

Lin Hui's face fell, and she turned her head depressed: "Understood, don't hit me."

No matter how good-tempered Song Ran was, she was annoyed at this moment, holding her breath and getting angry, wishing she could kneel down and call her aunt three times: "Lin Hui, how old are you, can you be a little responsible? You made someone's child cry, okay, it's okay , I'll help you coax. Now that I'm done coaxing, you won't even make a phone call to report that you're safe? Aren't you afraid that Dad He is worried?"

Lin Hui muttered in a low voice, "Help me fight."

Song Ran fell back on the sofa with a bang, and stretched out his hand to rest his forehead: "I'm a person lying on the blacklist, should I call him to make things difficult for him?"

Lin Hui grabbed her skirt with both hands, lowered her head in embarrassment, and remained silent.Song Ran lost his temper at all by her, raised the white flag to admit defeat, and sighed: "Okay, if you don't fight, I will."

Then he went to get his phone.

"Don't, don't, don't let me fight!"

Afraid that he would be angry, Lin Hui snatched the phone and pressed the love dial button with lightning speed.The screen turned on, and a line of extremely scary characters jumped out - current call time: 1 hour, 39 minutes and 15 seconds.

1 hours, 39 minutes and 16 seconds.

1 hours, 39 minutes and 17 seconds.

1 hours, 39 minutes and 18 seconds.

……

The two stared at the screen, both petrified.

As the saying goes, a true warrior dares to face the bleak life and face up to the dripping blood.

It's a pity that Songran is not a warrior.

In fact, it only took him a second to recognize his identity as a counselor, ran away, smashed open a door, slammed it shut, and left Lin Hui alone to face the bombshell.

He stood against the wall in the darkness, his breathing was short of breath, his cheeks were burning violently.

The 1 hour, 39 minutes and 18 seconds just now... What did he say?He misinterpreted Lin Hui's meaning, told a lot of childish lies, fabricated Mr. He's "guilty" out of nothing, and even went out of his way to write a stack of bad checks for Mr. He: take a car with Bubu, give a ride to Bubu Telling fairy tales, allowing Boo Boo to raise cats... The most terrible thing is that he just complained about Mr. He's small belly a minute ago, and blocked him for not answering the phone!

This time I'm going to die.

Song Ran's heart collapsed, he leaned his head back forcefully, bumped into the light switch on the wall, and heard a "click", and the warm and elegant light filled his field of vision.

The room he broke into was not too big, and the furnishings were simple. At first sight, there was a large cream-colored tufted carpet. There was a recessed light strip at the bottom and top of the wall on both sides, extending to the white wall directly opposite, casting partial shadows. Dark soft light.White walls are just white walls, with no decorations other than a huge black frame of unknown significance.There are several small downlights inlaid on the ceiling, which are exquisite and lovely, but the wattage is not high. Once the heavy curtains are closed, they will interweave into a vast starry sky.

The only furniture in the room is a set of camellia red cloth sofa, which is piled with big fluffy pillows, no matter the color or material, it is full of appeal to those who are mildly hungry for skin.

He walked over slowly, nestled into the corner of the sofa, grabbed a pillow and hugged it, and buried his face in it silently.

dong dong dong.

A few minutes later, there were three knocks on the door.Lin Hui came in and waved the child's mobile phone happily: "Songran, Mr. He is looking for you!"

He even knew his name.

Song Ran raised her face with an unnatural expression: "Oh."

"Don't be so depressed, it's okay!" Lin Hui covered the microphone with her palm, leaned into his ear, and whispered, "Mr. He is really a nice person. As soon as I apologized, he would forgive me, and he will certainly forgive me too. Yours! Come on!"

As he spoke, he patted Songran on the shoulder, gave him an encouraging thumbs up, and ran out cheerfully.

Just now she couldn't get off the tiger, and she answered the phone with the determination to die.Sure enough, ten seconds later, she died a heroic death and was fired by Mr. He.

Although the news is bad, it seems that in order to prove Songran's "not evil spirits", Mr. He used an extremely euphemistic way of expression, so that Lin Hui even thought that she was not going to be fired, but a salary increase. Yes, and pondered for a while where the misunderstanding came from.

Mr. He has a gentle attitude, saying that it is inevitable for a young girl who is new to society to make some mistakes, as long as she introspects herself in time and avoids making mistakes in the future.

Lin Hui was so moved that tears flowed into rivers.

Mr. He also said that he understands this and will provide the housekeeping company with a legitimate reason for dismissal that does not harm Lin Hui's reputation.In addition, he is willing to pay 20.00% of the original salary as an "apology reward" for her - for Songran's sake.

He endorsed Song Ran in this way, hoping that Lin Hui could truly understand the value of an apology.

Lin Hui burst into tears, and thanked her repeatedly while holding her mobile phone, thinking that if you are sincere, Mr. He is simply a standard good man who can't be found under a kilowatt spotlight.

The so-called honey of one, arsenic of the other, is what Mr. He moved Lin Hui so much on one side, but frightened Song Ran on the other side that he couldn't even speak three words clearly.

"Hey, hey, Mr. He."

Song Ran tremblingly held the phone, stuttering severely.

He Zhiyuan smiled, and said straight to the point: "Songran, I was in a meeting in the afternoon."

"A... meeting?"

Song Ran blinked her eyes, but didn't turn her head around.

He Zhiyuan explained: "Didn't you call me twice in the afternoon? It was a coincidence that the company happened to have a high-level regular meeting at that time, and my position had to be present for the whole time, so I couldn't get away, so I hung up both times. .If it's a normal departmental meeting, even if I can't leave, I will at least take the time to reply to a text message... I'm really sorry."

"So it's like this!" Song Ran was both happy and depressed, and bumped his head on the sofa cushion, "I thought you, you..."

I thought you really hated me.

This half sentence stopped in the middle, and He Zhiyuan couldn't finish listening, but his relieved tone let him know that this little misunderstanding brought more pressure on Songran than he imagined.

He felt guilty and explained: "The regular meeting lasted a little long, and it was past eight o'clock in China when it ended. I was afraid you would feel uncomfortable, so I called you back, but unfortunately I missed it. The kindergarten teacher answered it. Song Ran , please believe that I have never blacklisted you."

"Ah, that...that, I just said that nonsense." Song Ran was embarrassed, blushed and smiled, and there was no silver 300 taels to explain to herself, "You are so generous, you definitely won't care about me so much. Trivial things... I, I wanted to complain, so I said that to Lin Hui."

After picking it up, he looked back and thought about it. He has been entangled with the matter for a whole day, can it really count as a matter?It was nothing more than a disagreement between friends and a fight over the phone line.

This kind of trivial matter of crushing sesame, mung bean and bran bran might not even be ranked in Mr. He's place. He is so busy, there is really no time to block him.It was because he was hit, his confidence was halved, his anxiety was doubled, and he automatically thought of the worst in everything, so he forgot the biggest possibility of "inconvenient to answer the phone".

Song Ran was ashamed.

How old are they, and naive like a child, I have to trouble Mr. He to coax him in person.

He hugged the big pillow in his arms, clamped it between his legs, and pushed another centimeter into the corner of the sofa.

He Zhiyuan knew that he was tough-mouthed and thin-skinned, so he thoughtfully saved face for him, and didn't expose it, and asked, "Call me at five in the morning, is there anything urgent?"

Song Ran shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that you didn't forgive me last night, I think maybe my attitude was not sincere enough, so I called again this morning, and I want to solemnly apologize to you again. Mr. He, I shouldn't force you to agree with my family views. As you said, everyone has different experiences, and it is normal for family views to have differences. We should respect each other. Now I am willing to seek common ground with you while reserving differences. Can you forgive my faux pas that day? "

He Zhiyuan smiled lightly: "Yes, I forgive you."

He promised so readily that Songran was still immersed in thinking about what to say in the next round. When he heard the word "forgive", he was startled for a while before slowly relaxing.

"Uh, besides apologizing, there's also... I want to..." Song Ran bit a light mark on his lips, and anxiously made a second request, "It may be a bit late to say this now, but I... …I like Boo Boo very much. If you are busy with work at night and don’t have time to accompany him, can you let him come to my house to play? I can help you take care of him, tell him stories, teach him to draw, and wash it before going to bed. Send it back fragrantly."

He Zhiyuan said, "Yes."

Song Ran gained a little confidence, and took another step forward cautiously: "Then... and, it will be Lin Hui's turn to take a vacation later, can you find me a substitute nanny? I am a voluntary laborer, free of charge, guaranteed 24 hours a day On the job, don't charge a penny!"

He didn't know that Lin Hui had been dismissed at this time, and the reason was obvious: when Lin Hui delivered the mobile phone, Lin Hui's face was full of spring breeze, as if all her worries were gone, and she kept praising Mr. He for his generosity.Song Ran acquiesced that she was forgiven, happy for her, but also sad for himself, jealous for three seconds - everyone obviously made a mistake, the only difference is that Lin Hui made the younger one cry, and he irritated the older one , it turned out that Lin Hui was fine, but unfortunately he was unemployed, which shows how realistic and fucked life is.

He Zhiyuan couldn't hear the resentment in his heart, and asked with a smile: "You like Bubu so much?"

Song Ran nodded: "I like it."

If he is straight, his biggest dream in this life is to have a cute baby like Bubu, hold him in the palm of his hand, give him all the love, so that he will fly to the sky.

He Zhiyuan asked again: "What do you like about him?"

Song Ran said: "I like the way he depends on me."

"rely on you?"

He Zhiyuan originally thought that he would hear descriptions such as being smart, cute, and innocent, but the word "dependence" was really not in his imagination.

"Yeah." Song Ran nodded slightly, "I know it might be a little narcissistic to say this, but... Boo Boo seems to be quite dependent on me. His eyes are very close to me, without any sense of distance, and he always loves me. He threw himself on me, stuck on me and refused to leave. He still cried in front of me, and told me what was in his heart, probably because he thought I could understand. I just thought, how amazing it is to be relied on by such a little angel. Luckily, I have to protect him with all my heart and not let him down."

He Zhiyuan was silent for a while, holding the coffee cup, and slowly drank most of it: "Songran, frankly speaking, it's hard for me to imagine how you and Bubu established such an intimate relationship within two or three days, it's beyond me. However, I have to admit that the fact is—Boob is very dependent on you, and you have noticed many details that I have overlooked, so I have to apologize for the previous dispute."

"Hey, Mr. He?"

Song Ran didn't expect him to say that.

He Zhiyuan smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm obviously overconfident. At my age, most of my colleagues have children at home, and I hear them complaining about their troubles every day. Bu was not like this since he was a child, which is very reassuring. I didn’t delve into the reasons. I simply thought that I was more talented than other parents, and I could raise children without a teacher. Now it seems that I thought things too simply .”

Reproduction is an instinct but parenting is not.

Parenting is more like a sweet experience and practice. It starts at the moment when the baby is born, and there is no shortcut to self-taught.

"Song Ran, your sensitivity and honesty have helped me a lot. Out of my parents' selfishness, I would rather let Bubu stay by your side and be taken care of by you." He Zhiyuan said, "All day, 24 hours, at your house .”

Song Ran's eyes widened: "You...you mean..."

"I mean, with the approval of the legal guardian, from now on, Boob is your little baby."

Happiness came too suddenly, like a rainstorm in summer without warning, splashing candy all over his face.Like a dream, he grabbed the big pillow in his arms: "Are you serious, serious, and honest, and you don't joke or tease me?"

He Zhiyuan laughed: "I promise to be serious, earnest, and honest. I won't joke or tease you. If you're worried, I can formally invite you again."

He cleared his throat and said the same as before: "Songran, there is a four-year-old boy in my family named Bubu, would you help me..."

"Willing, willing, willing!"

Song Ran agreed, feeling so happy that she was about to faint.

He and Mr. He have reached a wonderful reconciliation, and in the next ten days or so, there will be a cute little follower beside him, cute and soft, chasing and calling him brother all over the room, asking him to comb his hair, hello Meal and bath.Every morning, I eat the little ravioli he made, ride his bicycle to the kindergarten, pester him to tell stories every night, sleep with my arms around each other at night, and smell the reassuring milk fragrance when I lower my head.

And Mr. He.

He has received a hard-won forgiveness, and when Mr. He returns to China, if he happens to meet outside the door one day, he can at least say hello in a friendly manner.

Thinking of this, Song Ran was satisfied, and rolled around on the sofa in an extremely disfigured manner. After rolling, he felt a strong sense of unreality: "So... the matter is resolved?"

"Solved." He Zhiyuan replied, "Sooner than you thought?"

Song Ran happily said "Yes": "It's much sooner, I thought I'd have to wait until the next life."
