bad daddy

"You've lost weight." The other party looked at Xiang Jie carefully, his eyes were cold.Xiang Jie raised his head, looked at the face somewhat similar to his, and said nothing.

The waiter held up the menu to cover half of his face, and looked here cautiously.These two are brothers?couple?They looked alike, but the atmosphere was awkward.

in argument?

Xiang Tao sighed, tapped his slender fingers on the table, waited for the waiter to bring the food, pushed the dishes in front of Xiang Jie, and raised his chin at him, "Let's eat first."

Xiang Jie quickly picked up the chopsticks.

"You came to Haishi, why don't you tell me." Xiang Tao looked at him wolfing down, and smiled again, "Forget it, it's not important."

Xiang Jie paused for a moment while chewing food, and then continued to eat bitterly with his head bowed.

"You don't really bother me," he muttered.

Xiang Tao smiled, "You are annoying. But that doesn't mean I don't want to see you."

Xiang Jie raised his head, his eyes fell on his brother's collarbone, and he quickly closed his eyes again.Xiang Tao is a typical omega, extremely slender, but not sick, and he is quite energetic.He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his eyes were gentle and quiet, looking very refined.

Xiang Tao has worked and lived in Haishi for many years.As omega, getting married early is almost their destiny.Fortunately, Xiang Tao's lover is a good alpha. After giving birth to two children, Xiang Tao was asked to return to the workplace and become a teacher.

The family is harmonious, the job is stable, a typical child of other people's family.

It would be great if my brother was an alpha.Xiang Jie thought so more than once.If that is the case, then his achievements must be much more than that.

It's a pity that fate tricks people.

"Mom already knows," Xiang Tao watched as Xiang Jie cleaned up the food in just a few minutes, "You are working as a babysitter for others now."

Xiang Jie shook all over, blew his nose with a tissue, carefully observed Xiang Tao's face, "...where did you hear that?"

If it was in the past, Xiang Jie would definitely shoot the case. Who would have the guts to spread rumors about my young master.But now, he's ignorant, he's scared, he knows that his elder brother is face to face with him now, and he didn't come to ask him for proof.

"It seems to be true." Xiang Tao gave him a helpless look, and pushed the dessert towards Xiang Jie, "Aren't you considering changing to a more serious job?"

Why is being a babysitter undeserved?Xiang Jie was the first to refuse.But that was his brother, and Xiang Jie had been afraid of him since he was a child.Facing Xiang Tao, Xiang Jie had to be scolded obediently.

At first everyone thought that Xiang Tao would be an alpha, even Xiang Tao himself thought so.Unlike Xiang Jie, who didn't work hard since he was a child, and urged him to take one step at a time, Xiang Tao can move forward by himself without others waving his whip.

Xiang Jie felt inferior in front of him.Even if Xiang Tao is an omega.

"I'm pretty good." Xiang Jie lowered his voice, "It's not too bad."

Xiang Tao looked at his silly younger brother, asking one question after another, somewhat resenting iron for being weak, "How long can you do this job? Has your employer paid you five social insurances and one housing fund?"

Seeing that Xiang Jie's face changed slightly, Xiang Tao's tone softened unconsciously, "Xiaojie, I have a friend in my hometown, and their unit is currently recruiting external personnel, and they are more or less stable. If you..."

Xiang Jie straightened his back, "I won't go."

"Not going?" Xiang Tao looked at him in surprise, "Why don't you go?"

Xiang Jie said word by word, "I don't want to go back to my hometown. I want to stay."

The mirage is huge.

If you stand at the financial building in the city center and look down, you can have a panoramic view of the whole sea city.The Guanjiang River rolls from west to east, and the towering buildings along the river are bathed in sunlight and shining with dazzling brilliance.

This is a city of the future full of life and hope.

It has been several months since Xiang Jie returned to Haishi.But he has never exiled himself in this steel forest like he is now.He was riding a bicycle across the street, and the wind blew his coat into a full sail.

Xiang Tao looked at him incredulously, "'Stay here?"

There was deep doubt in his tone.

"Yes, I want to stay in Haishi." Xiang Jie clenched his fists and said firmly.

Xiang Tao smiled.

There were fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.Xiang Tao held the armrest of the chair with one hand, he smiled with restraint and restraint, but his body couldn't help trembling slightly.

Xiang Jie couldn't help but frowned.

"You? Stay? What are you doing?" Xiang Tao looked at his worried brother, "I'm not trying to hit you, but at least you have to give me a complete plan, right?"

There is a long wooden plank road in front of it, and the wheels of bicycles run over it, making a creaking sound.Xiang Jie used his long legs as brakes, the car slid forward a few meters, and soon stopped.

What are you doing here?

This question is sharp and goes to the core.

Xiang Jie raised his head, closed his eyes, and the sunlight fell on his face through the thick clouds.The clouds covered it again, and the sun disappeared without a trace.

——Just like his future, erratic and uncertain.

Although He Yaning didn't tell him clearly, Xiang Jie knew in his heart that he was actually unemployed now.

"Go back and think about it first." Xiang Tao gave him an address, "come to me anytime after you think about it. If you insist on staying, at least give me a suitable reason."

The note was still in Xiang Jie's pocket.reason?What reason does he have?What reason can he have?Xiang Jie clenched the handle of the car and smiled wryly.

It's just a hothead, just for an omega!

He Yaning lay in bed for a week.

According to the doctor's advice, he should take a good rest and move as long as he can, but He Yaning still struggled to get up.

——Because the house is too messy.

Xiaozhu was entrusted to his mother to take care of him, but Xiang Jie was not there.Most of the time, Lian Ming, the barefoot doctor and sloppy king, came to take care of him.He Yaning frowned, and reached out to check the temperature of his forehead, as if he had returned to normal.

At 05:30 in the morning, the sky was slightly bright.

Lian Ming collapsed on the sofa, a blanket slipped from his feet.He raised his head, snoring like thunder.

He Yaning shook his head, walked over to pick up the blanket, and covered Lian Ming's belly.

The phone is quiet and there are no unnecessary messages.

Xiang Jie's WeChat profile picture is a green algae ball floating in a transparent glass bottle.He Yaning walked to the balcony. The spring dawn was a little chilly. He put on a coat, fumbled in his pocket, and found a cigarette by accident.

"Snapped."

A cluster of sparks ignited, trembling slightly in the steep wind.He Yaning let out a breath slowly, reached out and pressed his chest, his heart was beating vigorously.

Alive.

Alive, but as dead.

He hadn't seen Xiang Jie for a week.

Even on WeChat, there is no trace of him.

"Come, come, add a friend." On the first day Xiang Jie arrived at his house, he was about to get his phone number and WeChat.He Yaning was a little reluctant.

What did Xiang Jie say at that time?He narrowed his eyes to remember.

"You are not afraid that I will cut corners!" Xiang Jie cheerfully added He Yaning on WeChat, "I can still report to you at any time."

He Yaning didn't know what Xiang Jie needed to report to him, but after thinking about it, he couldn't find any problems, so he let him go.

Facts have proved that Xiang Jie is a bit noisy kid.I bought fresh ingredients today, got acquainted with the aunt downstairs, and opened a new convenience store in the community. In Xiang Jie's view, trivial matters are fresh topics of conversation.

He Yaning is busy with work and doesn't come back to him often.Xiang Jie was never angry either.

Sliding his finger up, He Yaning held a cigarette between his fingers, squinted, and looked back to the not-so-distant past little by little.

"—I'm sorry." Xiang Jie apologized to him on WeChat.He Yaning tilted his head and thought for a while before he remembered that time when Xiang Jie took Xiaozhu to rock climbing, and it turned out to be very unpleasant.

He Yaning sighed softly, and he turned off the phone.

The night sky of the city is highlighted by the neon lights in the distance, a perverse purple.He Yaning leaned against the fence, brought the cigarette to his lips, and handed over his soul to Nicotine.

Xiang Jie lifted the lid of the pot, and the hot purple rice porridge smelled sweet.He took a deep breath, turned off the fire, and prepared to cook thick eggs.

The live broadcast room in the early morning is relatively deserted.Night owls like to torture themselves in the middle of the night, watching delicious food to retaliate against themselves and the society, but at this time, one or two can hardly stand it anymore and fall asleep one after another.

"My brother wakes up very early recently." Occasionally, there are comments from fans, "It seems that the kitchen is different."

"Well," Xiang Jie scribbled, "Today's breakfast is purple rice porridge, thick fried egg and side dishes."

"How do you insist on getting up early every day to cook?"

Xiang Jie saw the question, but didn't know how to answer it.After a while, he carefully rolled up the formed egg skin with chopsticks, "I'm used to it... Besides, people who eat breakfast should be happy."

After making an appointment with Lianming, Xiang Jie will call Lianming in advance, without waiting for the connection, and then leave the lunch box at the door, and Lianming will naturally come to pick it up.

——It's like a joint meeting with the underworld.

It's troublesome, but Xiang Jie is happy.

He almost begged Lian Ming to let him cook a few more meals, which Lian Ming couldn't understand.Xiang Jie murmured for a long time, and only said, "I owe him."

Lian Ming was taken aback for a moment, and after a long silence, he let go.

Xiang Jie stood in front of the closed door and put the lunch box on the shoe cabinet next to him.Behind this door is the life he once had and will never have again in the future.

Xiang Jie gently pressed his hand on the door, his heart was as sore as an unripe berry, and when he squeezed it hard, it was bitter.

With a "squeak", Xiang Jie hurriedly woke up from his memories, he subconsciously took a step back, and the door opened from the inside.

He Yaning was still holding two garbage bags in his hand - he could only blame Lianming for being too sloppy, even the garbage had to be collected for several days before throwing it away - otherwise it would not be his turn to condescend and do it himself.

"Xiang...Xiang Jie?" He Yaning was stunned.

Originally, he planned to go out to throw away the trash and have breakfast, but who knew, he ran into him right in front of his house.
