Tropical Allergy [ABO]

"It's time to get up, Wendy." The long-lost language rang in his ears. For children born there, it was as proficient as their mother tongue, perhaps even more familiar.Qiao Jue patted her softly with one hand, "It's almost time."

The little bird opened its eyes from the warm nest and saw the bright snow line.

Winter here comes very early, September has already bid farewell to autumn, and the freezing will not completely melt until Lixia is approaching.The plane began to land, and the portholes were gradually covered with frost and mist, and the eyes could be seen through the glass.

After leaving for more than half a year, so many things happened, and now I am back.He likes it here, the low temperature and snow can cool down all troubles and make him feel at ease.

The Spring Festival holiday was short, so Qiao Jue would not be able to stay for a few days including the back and forth. Qiao Jue simply started roaming, passing by the advertising booths of various mobile operators, teaching Sui Sui how to tie a scarf by himself.Someone tried to drag a suitcase, stumbled all the way, and accidentally bumped into someone else.

"Ah, I'm sorry..." Jiang Shuo communicated with the locals in a makeshift language, which was so bad that both parties could not understand it, so he could only switch back to English and make gestures and guesses.Fortunately, compared to any official language, the body and facial expressions are common throughout the world. Relying on this forcefully, they finally catch up with the father and daughter who never look back.

Qiao Jue ignored it on purpose.I figured out his itinerary, bought the same flight ticket, and followed him privately without discussing with him at all, and it's not really possible to let a guy who doesn't understand the language to fend for himself in the ice and snow... Qiao Jue didn't know whether Jiang Shuo was secretly No matter how much preparation he has made, he doesn't worry about what he wants-everyone has come, and he has caused so much trouble.

The Allen and his wife were waiting in the aisle, and Freya gave Qiao Jue a big hug when she came up: "Long time no see, dear, you look very good." She held it up every year, "And you, my little sweet pie , do you miss me?"

The more children can communicate freely, the more powerless Jiang Shuo is, and he is deeply aware of his hot head. He really needs a doll to lead the way when he goes out.It has to be the premise that the baby's father will let her go.

If you are blinded everywhere you go, why not just stay at Qiao Jue's house——

It's a good plan, but being able to realize it is two different things.Allen, who wanted to take the suitcase, also found another one: "Joe, is this?"

Although Qiao Jue had no communication with this person at all, they were both Chinese and appeared side by side. They should... come together, right?In order to take care of the guests, he spoke English, and before Jiang Shuo introduced himself, Qiao Jue answered first.

"...a person I know."

The adjective is used ambiguously, and it can be understood in any way, but it is enough to cut off Jiang Shuo's nonsense.The person being introduced didn't quibble, just smiled slightly.

It's better than saying you're someone you don't know.

Fortunately, Allen got a new car for Christmas, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sit in the extra one.Sui Sui and Berry missed seeing each other for more than ten hours. They buried their faces in their fluffy stomachs and muttered something. The two fathers looked out the windows in opposite directions, each with their own thoughts.

Qiao Jue didn't discover Jiang Shuo's premeditation until after he got on the plane, and he didn't have time to inform Alan; no matter how strong the couple's coping skills are, they can't match the blatant silence of the two people in the back seat.

The couple looked at each other, and it was Allen who spoke.He looked in the rearview mirror: "Will Mr. Jiang come to our house for dinner tonight?"

"—No need!" Qiao Jue almost rushed to answer, and then realized that he was overreacting, and controlled the inappropriate volume, "Sorry. It's okay, I won't bother you tonight, we will go to the supermarket to buy something, and eat outside casually Just fine."

Jiang Shuo didn't say anything, but kept a business smile.Freya shook her husband's forearm, indicating that he had already figured it out.

It's still snowing outside.

The house they used to live in was purposely vacated this holiday season and had it cleaned, even the decoration didn't change much.After agreeing to see you tomorrow, Sui Sui cheered and pulled Jiang Shuo to introduce his old room, Alan went to start the car, Freya held an umbrella, and called Qiao Jue to the door.

"My dear, tell me the truth." The landlady looked at him worriedly with her soft green eyes. "I'm someone you can trust, right?"

Qiao Jue nodded.Even without further prompts, you can guess what kind of questions are waiting.

"Is he... Sui Sui's other father?"

Just because you can guess, doesn't mean you can figure out where it was exposed.

He didn't speak, so it was right to acquiesce.

"Are you thinking, how did I find out?" Freya knew him too well.She took his forearm, as she always does when she comforts people; Beta said softly, "You're gentle with everyone, Joe, and you're almost mean by your standards to him. If there Whoever makes you treat him special must have a special place in your heart.

"Also, a lover's eyes never lie."

Lover's eyes... huh?

He thought of the silent way back when he came here. He looked out the window with infinite nostalgia at the field completely covered in snow, while the glass was reflecting light, and someone was watching him with the same gentle eyes.

"dad."

"Ok?"

"Is that a pine tree?"

"Yes."

"I remember that poem."

"what?"

"Heavy snow—press green pines!"

"What about the second half of the sentence?"

"I don't remember..."

Sui Sui leaned on the bay window and looked out. The cedar branches finally couldn't bear the weight and bent to the limit. They hung down to her position and said hello through the glass.She put her little hand on it, and the snowballs fell rhythmically, the branches trembled violently, and then made a stretching motion and bounced back into the air.

The little girl laughed: "I remembered, the green pine is straight and straight!"

Qiao Jue put her pajamas in the closet, packed all her luggage, and sat down by the bed: "Sui Sui."

"Hey!"

"Come here, I have something to ask you."

The little bird swiftly flew down the balcony, hopped three times, and flew into his arms.

"What do you think, that uncle..." It's hard to say, "How is it?"

At first it was Uncle Ice Cream, but later it was called Uncle Jiang, and now the word "Uncle" without a surname has basically been equated with Jiang Shuo.

"I like Uncle, and Uncle also likes me." The child's perception of love and sorrow is more straightforward and sharper than that of adults. After expressing his position, Sui Sui remembered something, with a sad expression, "Dad, do you not like him ah?"

"It's not..." It was even more difficult to say.

His eyes lit up: "Then dad, do you like him?"

Qiao felt that he was completely pushed into a dead end by the question he raised.

Why would you ask your daughter such profound things?In the black and white world of children, how to understand the intertwining of love and hate?

What's more, he didn't hate Jiang Shuo either.

Now he couldn't even figure out what he was thinking.

Telling Allen to go to the supermarket is not an excuse, but a quick fix, and it took less than an hour to go back and forth.In fact, this is the first time Jiang Shuo has come back to an area so close to the North Pole. He stepped on the polar circle, seeing everything novel and wanting to record everything.It's a pity that Qiao Jue didn't wait for him at all, and didn't have time to take out his mobile phone to take pictures.

What's more cruel is that it is also strictly forbidden to shoot Qiao Jue and Qiao Wensui.

Sui Sui hadn't seen snow for a long time, and was so excited that he fell three or four times just on the way out.Although I didn't get hurt by wearing a lot of clothes, I always looked uncomfortable with clean clothes splashed with mud.On the return journey, the child was Qiao Jue's hug, and the thing was Jiang Shuona. They had reached a tacit understanding before there were any verbal regulations.Although there is almost no communication, Jiang Shuo still enjoys this wonderful experience of a family of three.

And it will only last until home.After Qiao Jue returned the things he bought to everyone, he turned his face indifferently and denied anyone: "There is no place for you here, please do what you want."

In fact, there are, guest rooms, study rooms, utility rooms, you can make a bed at will, the house is very big, and an entire floor is empty.

But he doesn't want to.I can't help but soften my heart again and again, and sooner or later all my previous efforts will be wasted if this continues.

Qiao Jue picked up Sui Sui and went up the stairs. The child obediently put his arms around his father's neck and looked at Jiang Shuo curiously, as if wondering why this uncle followed him and why he was left here.The wooden stairs creaked, Jiang Shuo smiled wryly and waved to her.

If this is the so-called best use of everything, it is really a subtle discomfort.

Qiao Jue opened his eyes again, it was almost two o'clock in the morning.

can't sleep.How can not sleep.Even though he was surrounded by everything that he was familiar with and felt safe, it didn't really make him feel safe.

Probably because of...

He covered his eyes and pondered for a long time, then turned over and put on his shoes, and went downstairs lightly.

The culprit of his insomnia was reclined in the armchair, sleeping soundly.The firewood in the old-fashioned fireplace had been extinguished, and Jiang Shuo hugged the pillow tightly. Although the room should be well-heated, it was still a bit cold without the habitual quilt.

Let him take care of himself, and he is really free.Qiao Jue wanted to sigh very much.No matter what the considerations were, it was impossible to really put him in the cold overnight, so he resigned himself to finding a blanket to cover him.

There is no way, from the beginning to now, he has never been able to do anything with him.

"dad?"

Qiao Jue was startled, almost bumped into Jiang Shuo, got up and turned around, the little girl was standing behind him with a berry in her arms, wearing only one shoe, disheveled hair, sleepy eyes, yawned, and whispered: "Uncle doesn't sleep bed?"

The grievances and grievances of adults cannot be explained to children. Qiao Jue didn't expect her to wake up at this time, and she didn't prepare a suitable explanation.

The guardian didn't answer, but thought of a way by himself: "Sui Sui's bed can be used by uncle."

"Your bed is too small."

It seems so right, the girl imagined the situation of this man sleeping on her small bed, and she probably could be overwhelmed, showing a worried look, and in a blink of an eye, she had a new idea: "Daddy's bed is big, sleep in Daddy's place!"

"..." That's even worse.

"Uncle will have a solution, let's go back to sleep. Children can't stay up late."

The voices of the father and daughter faded away, and after their footsteps also disappeared on the second floor, Jiang Shuo finally couldn't pretend anymore, and coughed to cover up his uncontrollable smile.It wasn't that he eavesdropped on purpose, it was because the surrounding area was too quiet and they were too close.

He desperately followed Qiao Jue's footsteps and came here just to bet on whether this person still cared about him.

Now he was sure.

Jiang Shuo pulled the blanket up and smelled the faint fragrance of lavender.From here you can see outside the window, the night is longer and the snow falls silently.

He came to the place where Qiao Jue lived for several years when he left.

If this would bring him closer to his past, perhaps he would be able to get closer.
