bad daddy

That night, Xiang Jie was in bed with him.

It's not too tiring, my mother cooked and delivered it, and Xiang Jie is in charge of feeding it.But the old man is very stubborn, and at this time he has to act as if he is physically and mentally strong and insists on eating by himself.

Xiang Jie didn't care about him, the old man could only talk bravely, and now if he was asked to sit up, he could howl for a long time.

"Just save yourself some effort," Xiang Jie blew lightly, and after making sure that his mouth was not burning, he brought the spoon to his father's mouth. "It might take a lot of effort to eat by yourself."

"Oh, I'm so lucky to be old." The aunt in the next bed smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed, "Having such a good son. Hey, young man, do you have a date?"

When Dad heard that someone praised Xiang Jie, he couldn't help being a little proud.But there was still an expression of indifference on his face, and he said awkwardly, "This kid, if you can listen to me, I will be relieved!"

Xiang Jie quickly put the spoon to his father's mouth.

He Yaning did not break his promise today, and went to the beach with Xiaozhu.In fact, it's not far away. If you drive to the southern suburbs, there is a quite large beach.He Yaning sent him a few photos, all of them were landscapes, or they were single photos of Xiaozhu.

The little girl rarely showed a smiling face, and built a big castle on the beach.

Someone who finished feeding the dinner was a little dissatisfied, "I want to see you! Send a photo of you!"

"Refused." He Yaning quickly replied, "What's so interesting about me."

"But I miss you." Xiang Jie was aggrieved, unrelenting, "If you don't take pictures, let's make a video."

"...Also." He Yaning hesitated for a moment, and then he sent a video invitation.

Xiang Jie was caught off guard and almost dropped the heat preservation box in his hand.I quickly shook my hand, my fingertips were still wet, and I poked the video several times before it connected.

The face that he missed so much appeared on the screen even though they had not been separated for a long time.

"Have you had dinner yet?" He Yaning glanced at his appearance in the upper right corner of the screen, and stepped back subconsciously.

Xiang Jie took out the earphones from his pocket, and chatted with He Yaning while plugging them in, "Did you eat it? You didn't make it yourself, did you? Xiaozhu spent the weekend so hard not to cast a shadow on the child... "

"Fuck you." He Yaning gave him a blank look, this kid sometimes sneers.Of course, he didn't have any malice. He Yaning felt a little happy when he heard Xiang Jieming's fast tone.

"Your dad...how is it?" He cleared his throat and finally got back to the topic.

"Very good." Xiang Jie raised his face and smiled.He Yaning frowned slightly, and through the screen of the mobile phone, Xiang Jieduo wanted to reach out to help him smooth the wrinkles on his forehead.

He always wanted to tell He Yaning, don't frown all the time and look old.

Maybe He Yaning has much more to worry about than him.

"Are you okay?" He Yaning looked at Xiang Jie's smiling face, still a little worried.

The smile on Xiang Jie's face froze.

It would be a lie to say nothing.But in Xiang Jie's view, what troubled him as much as his father's injury was Xiang Tao's suggestion to him.

Stay and take care of your parents.

This suggestion is like a small boat, dizzy and ups and downs in Xiang Jie's mind.He thought that this idea would be overturned by the waves soon, but when the next wave came up, it reappeared tenaciously.

Obsessively obsessed.

"I miss you." Xiang Jie bared his teeth, showing two rows of white teeth, "I want to see you."

"Isn't this just watching?"

In fact, watching is not enough at all.I still want to hug, touch, and hold the other person in my arms like a small animal, as if charging a battery, so that Xiang Jie's restlessness can be relieved.

"Then what should I do? How about I come to see you." He Yaning raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "If you don't mind."

Xiang Jie reached out and tapped his lips, then lightly pressed on the screen, "No, my side is fine, and I can go back in a few days."

After hanging up the phone, Xiang Jie covered his chest, feeling a little empty.He knew that it was wrong to just hide this matter, and he must find a solution.But looking at He Yaning's appearance, he subconsciously didn't want to cause trouble for the other party.

Shaking the drops of water in the lunch box, Xiang Jie sighed helplessly.The sky is full of cloudy clouds, deep and shallow purple.He closed his eyes tiredly.

In any case, today's task is to take good care of Dad first.What will happen in the future, he can't think of a reason now.At worst, it's okay for his monthly wages to be used to hire a nurse for his father.

No matter what the result is, he will not choose to leave He Yaning.

Night has fallen, and only a warm yellow light is on in the single-family building in the distance.

The silver-gray Lexus stopped slowly, and He Yaning helped her daughter unbuckle her seat belt.

He Yaning patted his daughter awake, "Xiaozhu, wake up."

The little guy half-closed his eyes, stretched his waist, turned his head and plunged into He Yaning's arms.

"Father—" the voice was soft and waxy, and it dragged on for a long time. He Yaning patted the little guy's thin back, "Get up, go to grandma's house and sleep again."

Sending Xiaozhu over was a temporary decision.He Yaning knew exactly what he was doing now.When facing his mother, he was able to tell all the reasons he made up without changing his expression or beating his heart.

"There is a case that is urgent, and I am worried. I still want to go to the law firm to work overtime."

My mother was wearing a thin wine-red blanket, and took Xiaozhu from He Yaning's arms, "You should take it easy, it's a big weekend, you always need a vacation for yourself."

"Father will accompany me to go out to play today—" Xiaozhu hooked her grandmother's neck, and said in a childish voice, "It's fun."

"Sleep well." He Yaning felt that he was not a qualified father.On second thought, what is he qualified for?

When standing in the small train station in Xiang Jie's hometown, he was still thinking about this question.

Xiang Jie was sitting beside his father's bed, his head bit by bit, dozing off in a daze.Being an escort is very boring. The hospital wards in small towns don’t have any high-end entertainment equipment. After dinner, Dad watched TV for a while, and soon started snoring.

It's okay to fall asleep.At least they don't have to bother to find a topic.

Dad snored one after another, very rhythmically.He Yaning's face was faintly visible, that delicate face was usually stern, but at certain moments, it showed a frank and docile expression.

Xiang Jie stabbed down suddenly, and suddenly woke up.

In the old ward, my father's snoring has stopped, and his belly against the white sheet rises and falls.Outside the window is the pitch-black night, with dots of lights, outlining the rough outline of this small town.

He checked his phone, it was only eight o'clock in the evening.

Xiang Jie's legs were numb from sitting, so he stood up and stretched his muscles.He actually fell asleep, and he turned on his phone, only to find that He Yaning had sent him a message.

"Where are you?"

???

Xiang Jie had many small question marks, "I'm in the hospital."

"Nonsense." He Yaning said directly this time, "Which hospital are you in?"

"Affiliated to the University of Medical Sciences... Hey, what are you doing?" Xiang Jie recovered and lowered his voice, "My dad is really fine..."

He Yaning ignored him.

Xiang Jie scratched his head and didn't know how to deal with himself.The old man moved, maybe wanted to turn over, but he couldn't do it, so he only wailed twice.

Xiang Jie sighed, put away his phone, and hurried to take care of his father.

What does He Yaning mean?Why are you asking this at night?Xiang Jie thought over and over in his little head, but couldn't think of a reason.

But that guy still hasn't responded to the message.Looking at his father who finally fell asleep again, Xiang Jie sighed sadly.

The phone vibrated again.

"Come out." This time the message was simpler.come out?Where are you going?Xiang Jie scratched his head. It was pitch black outside the window and he couldn't see anything.

While replying to the message, he pushed open the door of the ward, caught off guard, and met a pair of gentle eyes.

"You..." Xiang Jie was so shocked that his phone almost dropped to the ground, "Why do you..."

"What's wrong with me?" He Yaning shrugged, with crystal beads of sweat still hanging on his forehead, and the expression on his face was like the complacent look of a good student who skipped class.

"I..." Xiang Jie didn't know what to say.How could he have expected that He Yaning would run over without making a sound!

"You, how do you know where my home is..." He muttered for a long time and asked a silly question.

He Yaning chuckled, his face was red, like the sunset glow of this evening. "I've seen your resume." He looked around unnaturally, "I left in a hurry and didn't bring anything..."

Sure enough, love makes people stupid.Looking at the flushed face, Xiang Jie thought to himself.He became stupid, and so did He Yaning.There was no one in the empty corridor, only the faint smell of disinfectant.

He Yaning wanted to say something, but Xiang Jie hugged him the next second.

"It can be regarded as meeting you." Xiang Jie buried his face in He Yaning's shoulder, where there was a faint smell of sweat, a faint scent of citrus, and tension and anticipation rushing all the way.

"Okay, okay, I'm here." He Yaning reached out and patted Xiang Jie's back, "It's not far anyway."

Xiang Jie took a step back and looked at that face in the light of the corridor.He can't say anything now, he just feels his heart beating a little faster.

"Where do you live tonight?" He glanced at the ward, "I still need to accompany you."

"I'm staying in a nearby hotel." He Yaning stretched out his hand to straighten his clothes, "Leave at noon tomorrow."
