you are pregnant with my cub

Before Huo Siming could answer, Dou Ze panicked. He faltered and didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Huo Siming touched the back of his hand and said calmly, "I came here to do business, and I happened to meet him. Then I took a ride."

"That's it." Dou Yuan turned to face Dou Ze again, and said, "Why are you still sweating when you come by car?"

"It's so hot." Dou Ze didn't want to entangle her with this issue any more, so he changed the subject and said, "Why did you come here by yourself without telling me?"

"Didn't I think you were busy?" She smiled, patted the coin purse on her waist, and said to Dou Ze, "Did you hear that?"

"……I heard."

As night falls, the oily smoke from the food stalls slowly rises into the air, and groups of boys and girls are like fish in water, happily squandering their youth in the streets and alleys.

Huo Siming stood aside, looking at the unfamiliar scene in front of him, and heard Dou Ze ask Dou Yuan: "Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten." She raised her finger and pointed to a tricycle not far away with a signboard hung with grease and twisted cloth, and there were three red letters on it - Baijimo. "This was your favorite food when you were young, do you want to eat it?" Her tone of joy was exactly the same as that of leading Dou Ze to buy snacks when she was a child.

At that time, they all lived a relaxed and happy life, and their parents took up the burden of life, leaving them happiness that can be bought with a few cents.Fifty cents of Baiji steamed bun, no meat, dip the whole cake in the broth, if you are lucky, you can hang some minced meat on it, which can satisfy your gluttony. Dou Ze loved it when he was a child, and Dou Yuan often saves it. Give him the money to buy stationery.At that time, their biggest worry was that they didn't finish their summer homework...

Dou Ze shook his head, I don't know if it's because of the too much smoke here, or the sequelae of being frightened just now, he feels a little nauseous now.Say to Dou Yuan: "I'm not hungry, I've eaten. When will you finish?"

"It's only 08:30, at least ten o'clock, right? You go back first, don't worry about me."

Dou Ze looked back at Huo Siming, and whispered, "You go back first? I have to stay, don't worry about it at night."

Huo Siming naturally disagreed, he thought for a while, pointed to a cold drink stand not far away and said to Dou Ze: "I want to eat ice powder, can you buy some for me?"

Dou Ze didn't understand, so he looked at the cold drink stand in a daze, then at Huo Siming, and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to eat that? Don't you think the hygiene is not up to standard?"

"I haven't tried it, I want to try it."

Dou Yuan, who was standing behind the stall, saw that Huo Siming had something to say, so he chimed in and said, "Xiao Ze, go buy it, buy one for me, and put more brown sugar."

After Dou Ze left, Dou Yuan looked at Huo Siming, smiled and waited for him to speak. Although she regarded him as the savior, she still didn't believe that there was a free lunch in this world.

Huo Siming asked her: "How is the new company? Is the salary satisfactory?"

"Very satisfied, thank you for talking about this matter!" Dou Yuan said with a smile: "It's just that the earning can't keep up with the spending. There will be more places to use the money in the future, so I can earn a little more." He also specifically declared: "Mr. Huo, although I earn extra money by setting up a street stall, I never desert when I am at work. I am very serious."

Huo Siming pursed his lips reservedly, and there were already a few girls onlookers beside him, who watched him look good and whispered from a distance.Huo Siming ignored them, and said to Dou Yuan: "The child looks forward to his mother every day in the hospital. Even if he wants to do business, he will wait until the child recovers..." Before he finished speaking, he had already seen Dou Ze's hand. Walking back with two bowls of ice powder, there are cars passing by on the road. Occasionally, a desperate young man will fly past on an electric bicycle with his handlebars off. Come here, smile, hand him a bowl, and the two of them will cross the road together.

Dou Yuan looked at this scene, for some reason, his heart suddenly trembled, and he shook his head again, wishing that he was thinking too much.

When Dou Ze was walking, he asked Huo Siming in a low voice: "What did you say to my sister?"

"It's nothing, I just asked her about her new unit." This is indeed true.

Dou Ze didn't ask any more questions, walked to Dou Yuan's booth, handed her the ice powder, and said, "I remember you didn't like this when you were young, and you said it was made of glue."

"People's tastes always change." Dou Yuan took the cold drink, looked at the silly smile on Dou Ze's face, and stood with the unpredictable Huo Siming, in contrast, he could see the bottom at a glance.

Huo Siming took the ice powder and didn't eat it, Dou Ze asked, "Why don't you eat it?"

Mr. Huo had no choice but to use a plastic spoon to shovel two mouthfuls into his mouth. It had a cool, sweet brown sugar taste. He didn't like sweets, so he put it down after taking two mouthfuls, and eating while standing at the street corner was really not a gentleman's behavior. .Dou Ze glanced at him and said with a smile: "I guess you don't like to eat it." Then he took the small plastic bowl from him, swallowed two mouthfuls of what he ate, and said: "In a few days It’s getting colder, so I probably won’t be able to sell it.”

Seeing this, Dou Yuan said: "Don't eat Mr. Huo's, eat mine, mine hasn't moved yet."

"Hey, you don't eat any of them, why did you ask me to buy them?" Dou Ze pretended to be angry, and couldn't eat any more after two mouthfuls, and said to Huo Siming, "You should go back." He was very careful in his words, for fear of being caught Dou Yuan saw the clue.

Dou Yuan also said: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Huo, for not being able to treat you well." With a delicate heart, she couldn't understand the meaning of Huo Siming's words just now, and told her not to set up a stall again. ,For whom?For Nannan?Then I have to put it on...

Huo Siming shook his head, and said, "You guys sit here, I'll go over there for a stroll, and I haven't visited the night market yet." Before he left, he made a phone call gesture to Dou Ze, which meant to call before closing the stall, Dou Ze understood, but didn't want to follow through.

Seeing him staying, Dou Yuan didn't say anything, and asked after seeing off a few girls who were buying jewelry, "Why are you here?"

"I'm afraid it's not easy for you to clean up the stall alone." Dou Ze sat with her on the curb with his legs folded. There were actually not many things on the ground, and there were only two big bags to clean up, but it was a bit heavy for a woman.

The two siblings sat there until 10:30. Dou Ze's back was sore and his legs were numb, and he got up and moved several times in the middle, for fear that the child might make mistakes.An income of more than 500 yuan a night is not bad.The two packed up their things and put them into two big black plastic bags. Dou Ze carried one in one hand and wanted to carry it on his shoulders together. Unexpectedly, when he started to move, his hand was already half light. Huo Siming didn't know where he came from. He got out, unloaded the things in his hands, and carried them on his broad shoulders wrapped in expensive shirts.

Dou Yuan was lowering his head and carefully putting his wallet away. When he looked up and saw Huo Siming, he was also startled: "Oh? Mr. Huo, have you left yet?"

Dou Ze lowered his head guiltily, and Huo Siming beside him was carrying two big black plastic bags, and said, "I came by car, and I wanted to take you back before leaving."

"Dou Ze, why are you so blank, didn't you see Mr. Huo carrying two bags by himself?" Dou Yuan taught his brother a lesson.

Huo Siming ran towards the street with two long legs. Even if he was as smart as Mr. Huo, he really couldn't find a better excuse.Dou Ze looked at his back, feeling a little embarrassed and moved.The two siblings walked behind, and Dou Yuan asked: "This Mr. Huo...is..." She finally began to have some doubts. After six years of long suffering, she taught her a truth-except for parents to children, There is no giving in this world for no reason.

She didn't finish asking, and Dou Ze didn't give her a chance to finish asking. He heard the horn of Huo Siming's car not far away. He had already put his things in the trunk and was just waiting for the two of them to get in the car.

Dou Yuan didn't ask any more questions, and got into the car, no matter what, Huo Siming was their savior, the worst result, what could happen?

When the car arrived at the hospital, the two got out of the car together and helped her carry the goods upstairs to Xie Xiaonan's ward. At this time, the child was already fast asleep in his grandfather's room, and he hadn't seen his mother for a day.In order not to disturb the parents next door, Dou Ze and Huo Siming put down their things and left her downstairs.

It wasn't until returning to the car that Dou Ze breathed a sigh of relief, "What can we do tomorrow?"

It was getting late, Huo Siming started the car and said, "Don't worry, she won't come out tomorrow."

"why?"

Huo Siming didn't answer, but silently took out a box of fruit from the storage box and handed it to him, saying, "Are you hungry?"

When I was pregnant, I was always hungry very quickly, and I had to get some snacks to stuff my teeth from time to time.Dou Ze took it, took a strawberry and put it in his mouth, then opened the box and handed it to Huo Siming.

Mr. Huo supported the steering wheel with both hands and said, "I don't have hands."

Dou Ze took it back and ate another piece by himself, and heard Huo Siming say, "I want to eat a piece of strawberry."

"..." He has always felt that the act of feeding is very ambiguous. Last time, if he had no choice, he would never feed Huo Siming. After hesitating again and again, thinking of Huo Siming's back with the goods on his back, he finally picked a strawberry Pass it to his mouth.

Mr. Huo looked at the windshield with his eyes, lowered his head slightly, his lips wrapped around the strawberry, and also contained Dou Ze's finger, and licked it lightly with the tip of his tongue.

Dou Ze already knew that he was uneasy and kind, but he didn't speak, silently withdrew his hand, put away the box, and stopped eating.

Huo Siming asked, "Why don't you eat?"

"Let's go back and eat again, the car is all dirty." I still have to search around for excuses.

Mr. Huo saw that this meant that he didn't want to feed him anymore, so he stopped talking.

There was a moment of silence in the carriage, only the light and shadow cast by the street lamp outside the window.Dou Ze suddenly remembered what Dou Aiguo said in the evening, and asked, "My dad wants to treat you to a meal before the operation. Do you...have time? Can you come?"

"Of course." Huo Siming replied quickly.

When the two returned home, it was nearly eleven o'clock. Dou Ze took a shower and went straight to bed. Huo Siming also came upstairs after washing, and knocked on the door of his room when he passed by.Dou Ze asked inside, "What's the matter?"

Huo Siming pushed the door in, stood at the door, and said, "After I have dinner with your family, can you accompany me back home?"

"..." Dou Ze was in a daze. Before he could ask, he heard Huo Siming explaining, "It's my first child after all. I want to... take it back to meet people, so I can't suddenly come from here." popped out of the rocks."

"..." Dou Ze selfishly thought that with his identity and gender, this child's background is not much better than jumping out of a crack in the rock, but Huo Siming first agreed to his request, and there is always something to be done in life. There are going.Then he said, "Okay... see your father and mother?"

"My mother is dead, it's just my father, and some other less important relatives."

"..." Dou Ze was stunned again. To be honest, he was reluctant to go, but morally speaking, it would be bad for him not to go, so he could only nod in agreement.

The Dou family's thank-you banquet was scheduled for the day before Dou Aiguo's operation. He actually couldn't eat much, it was just a family reunion. It was like a farewell banquet for the occasion.The location was in a hotel not far from the hospital, in a private room, Dou Ze ordered food in advance according to Huo Siming's taste, and the family gathered together.

The young people were all office workers, and they could only come here after work. Huo Siming went to the company to pick up Dou Ze. When he arrived at the hotel, Dou Ze said, "You go in first, and I'll buy some drinks."

Huo Siming said, "It's okay, I'll wait for you."

But Dou Ze resolutely refused to let him, so he realized that Dou Ze didn't want the two of them to go in together, and after a little thought, he could figure it out.Huo Siming glanced at him, said nothing, and entered the restaurant.This restaurant has maintained the face of a high-end restaurant in the context of the economic depression. Although there are few customers, the service team is still complete.

Entering the box booked by Dou's family, Liu Qing led Xie Xiaonan and Dou Aiguo had already arrived, only Dou Yuan hadn't come yet.After a while, Dou Ze pretended to come in with a few bottles of yogurt in his hands, put them in front of Xie Xiaonan, looked around the room, and asked, "Where is my sister?"

"Maybe she's still in the company, right? She's busy these days and always works overtime at night." Liu Qing said to Huo Siming, "Don't mind Mr. Huo, don't worry about her, we'll eat first."

As soon as they finished speaking, she stepped on her high heels and came in. When she saw Huo Siming, she stood at the door and said hello first: "Mr. Huo is here? Sorry, I'm late."

Huo Siming shook his head, expressing that it was okay, Xie Xiaonan quietly pulled away the chair beside him, motioning for her to sit next to her.

The waiter had already started serving cold dishes, and Dou Ze asked Dou Yuan again: "You haven't set up a street stall recently, have you?"

"I often work overtime these days, so I don't have time to go." When Dou Yuan was speaking, he glanced at Huo Siming, but he didn't dare to say anything.
