Turn off the lights and let the pros come

Lin Li took advantage of the company's break at noon, skipped work, and drove the car directly to the orphanage. Seeing Xin Ran wearing the coat he bought for her before sitting outside playing with other children with building blocks, Lin Li walked up quietly. Go, Xinran seemed to have sensed something, raised her head, and smiled like a sunflower the moment she saw him, "Dad!"

The other children followed suit, ran over happily, and threw themselves into his arms, "Dad, why are you here? The teacher didn't tell me you were coming."

"Father wants to give you a surprise." Lin Li touched her head, Xin Ran was originally thin, but this disease seemed to make her even thinner, Lin Li was a little distressed.

Xinran didn't seem to care about the fact that her father didn't show up after she was discharged from the hospital. She took his hand, dragged him to her friends and introduced him, "This is my father."

Lin Li smiled and greeted other children. The children were very polite and called "Hello, Uncle."

Lin Li had lunch with Xinran in the orphanage. In fact, he would rather take Xinran home for dinner, but he wanted to see how the food in the orphanage was. Compensate Xing Ran in another way.

"Is this the usual lunch at the orphanage?" Lin Li asked.

"Yeah!" Xin Ran nodded vigorously with rice in her mouth.

Lin Li felt a little relieved, and patted her on the head, "When we finish eating, Dad will take you home. During this time, you can go back and live with Dad, okay?"

Xin Ran's eyes widened, and she swallowed the food in her mouth with difficulty, "Really?!"

Dad never said anything like taking her home to live in. He usually took her out to play and came back the same day. He went to that so-called home happily and just accompanied Dad back to pick up things. She actually wanted to stay, but She knew that she was not her father's own child. The teacher often said that it is happy to be loved in the world, but people can't ask for more.

So she never told her father what she thought.

"Of course it's true." Lin Li said, "Papa will take you to see your grandparents in a few days."

"Grandpa and grandma?" Xin Ran had no idea about these two words, "I still have grandpa and grandma?"

"That's right." Lin Li said, "They belong to father, father and mother."

Xin Ran raised her head, "Then... do grandparents live with us too?"

"Grandpa and grandma have their own place to live, we just need to visit them when we have free time." Lin Li said, "We live with a little brother."

"Little brother?" Xin Ran was obviously curious, "Is it the little brother that Dad mentioned last time?"

Lin Li smiled, "Yes, that's him, dad's boyfriend."

Xin Ran nodded, full of thoughts of "going home and living", she couldn't care less about talking to Lin Li, and seized the time to stuff food into her mouth.

Lin Li helped Xinran complete all kinds of formalities. When she went out, she saw Xinran pulling her small suitcase to say goodbye to her friends, distributing her dolls and toys to each child, and finally hugging a Little fat man, Lin Li took a closer look, could this be that little fat man?

Lin Li squinted his eyes, absolutely not allowing him to be Xinran's boyfriend, the innocent little fat man was mercilessly blacklisted by a father as a future son-in-law without knowing it yet.

Sitting in his car, Xin Ran was more excited than ever, but it was still the kind of suffocated excitement, the corners of his mouth almost went behind his ears, and he still held back his expression.

Lin Li was also very relaxed. In fact, he didn't think so much when sponsoring Xinran. At that time, he just wanted to support a life and be a father, but he didn't know what a qualified father should do. For example, Bring your own kids home.

He just wanted a certain degree of psychological satisfaction. Thinking about it now, Xinran was almost a cannon fodder. Lin Li loved this child very much, but he didn't care about it. He didn't even have time to pick up Xinran when he was discharged from the hospital last time. I just felt a little embarrassed, and didn't take it as a responsibility of myself.

Now, seeing that the child is so happy because he can go home and live with him, Lin Li feels a little bit sorry.

Xinran...should be able to get along well with Avery, right?Both are great kids.

Lin Li helped Xinran take the small suitcase into the house, and Xinran followed him and pulled his clothes. The enthusiasm when he came seemed to have dissipated, and now Xinran looked more nervous.

"Don't be nervous, this is your home from now on, you can live here forever, you are the little master here." Lin Yue gently patted her head and pushed her forward slightly.

Xin Ran looked back at her father, still very nervous, but she was able to walk in slowly by herself.

"Hello." A smiling person suddenly appeared in front of him. Xin Ran was taken aback. When he looked up, he suddenly smiled, "Brother Avery!"

Lin Li was puzzled from behind, "How did you know each other?"

Xin Ran jumped on Ai Li and hugged him, and looked back at her father, "Brother Ai Li used to be in the orphanage, and we are super, super, super good friends!" After speaking, he turned back and rubbed Ai Li's stomach.

Ellie nodded, smiling.

Lin Li narrowed his eyes, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Avery should obviously be worried about how to explain to Lin Li at this time, but his expression is very relaxed, as if relieved, "I'll tell you tonight, tonight, I can tell you everything."

Now that Avery said so, even if Lin Li had a lot of questions, he was too embarrassed to ask any more, and held back until night.

He didn't expect that Avery and Xinran would get to know each other early on, which would actually be better, and save the time for running in. He could take Avery and Xinran to meet his parents earlier, and this matter could be settled earlier.

Xin Ran seems to be very familiar with Ai Li, and also likes Ai Li very much. Since he entered the door, he has been pestering him, whether it is eating or playing games, it is completely as if Lin Li's father does not exist. Seriously, if Avery is so pleasing to Xinran, why did Xinran never take the initiative to mention Avery?

Lin Li thought about it carefully, and it was true that he hadn't, Xin Ran never mentioned Avery in front of him, not even once.

After finally waiting until night, Ai Li sent Xinran to the room prepared for her in advance, and told her a bedtime story. When Xin Ran fell asleep, Ai Li exited the room, saw the lights on the balcony, and knew that he would go to bed next time. Facing a conversation, he should be nervous, but Avery's heart has never been so relaxed as it is now.

Seeing Ai Li approaching, Lin Li consciously put out his cigarette.

"Tell me." Lin Li said, "How did you and Xinran meet, and who are you?"

Lin Li's tone was a bit harsh. Under normal circumstances, Avery would be fearful, but when it came time for the showdown, Avery was not afraid. He had been with the person in front of him for a long time, and they both understood each other's character. So no matter what direction the situation is going, they have the same belief - they will not be separated from each other.

"What if I say, I'm not human?" Avery still surprised Lin Li as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Not a human?" Lin Li chewed on this sentence repeatedly, not a human, could it be a ghost?But he was sure that Avery would not be a ghost, because besides himself, there are so many people who know Avery's existence. Avery's body has the temperature of a normal person, and he can make a normal expression, except for that time when he ran away for no reason. , there is nothing unusual in the behavior of a normal person, and there is no action that hurts him, "Then what are you?" Lin Yue asked softly.

Avery raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes were still clear, and he looked at Lin Li, "Don't you often talk about the night light that Xinran gave you? Don't you feel strange? When the night light broke, I was by your side , and when it’s good, I’m gone.”

After Lin Li heard these words, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. He calmed down and told himself that the person in front of him was Ai Li. It didn't matter whether he was a man or a ghost, or anything else. He decided on his own. An object to live a lifetime.

"What do you mean?"

Avery lowered his eyes, "I used to live there all the time." He raised his head, "Lin Li, I'm not a human being. If I explain it, I should be a 'spirit'. My existence is due to people's strong desire , when the time is right and the idea of ​​wish is strong enough, I will have the entity.”

Lin Li had thought a lot about Avery's true identity, but he had never thought of this statement.

"Then why... are you with me?"

Avery smiled and looked in the direction of the room, "Because of your daughter."

"Xinran?" Lin Li couldn't understand the relationship between them.

"I originally belonged to Xinran. It was a gift she bought for you, but you didn't show up because of your busy work. She didn't have a chance to send it out. She could only wait. Later, she would talk to me every night. She loved me very much. You, I made a wish and said that I hope to have someone to accompany you and love you." Ai Li recalled Xin Ran talking about his father to him every day, and still felt sorry for the little girl in the orphanage, "Her wish is too strong, so Created me, and after that, I appeared."

Lin Li couldn't believe it, "So the first time we met that night, you actually planned it a long time ago?" He remembered that the day he attended the dinner party was indeed the day when Xing Ran gave him a gift.

Lin Li remembered that he happily gave him a gift, and told him to put the gift away so that he could make a wish.

Ai Li nodded, then shook his head again, not knowing how to explain the relationship to him, "I didn't intend to find you at first, I followed Xinran all the time, that child was very painful, and later, Xinran insisted on sending the lamp to Here it is, I just came into contact with you."

Lin Li denied his initial thoughts a little bit, "So... you have always been nice to me and stayed with me just because of Xin Ran's wish?"
