after the reunion

Bai Yuhang led Zhao Dongdong home, and as soon as he entered, he saw Zhao Xi was leaning on the sofa watching TV with two balls of tissue stuffed in his nostrils.

Zhao Dongdong rushed forward and hugged his thigh, Zhao Xi opened his mouth to breathe hard, and said in a low voice, "Do you want to crush your father to death? Brat."

Zhao Dongdong blinked and smiled flatteringly: "Ah, isn't Dad alright?"

Zhao Xi gave a faint "hmm", shifted his gaze to the TV, and fell silent.

Zhao Dongdong touched his nose aggrievedly, tilted his head and asked Bai Yuhang for help.

Bai Yuhang smiled wryly, walked over and rubbed Zhao Xi's head hard, "Did you take the medicine on time? Did you take your temperature?"

Zhao Xi frowned and avoided his hand, "Brother, I ate."

"Oh, you play with Dongdong, and I'll cook for you."

Zhao Xi leaned on the pillow and didn't speak. Although his eyes were fixed on the TV, he felt a little empty inside, wondering what he was thinking.

Zhao Dongdong squatted beside him depressed, and watched... the news together.

After finally making it to the meal time, Zhao Dongdong never dared to do anything wrong again, honestly, he would eat whatever his father chose.

Bai Yuhang didn't talk much, eating a meal in unprecedented silence.

After the meal, Zhao Xi stopped the elder brother, and said helplessly, "Brother, you should go back. Brother Haoran is back today, right? You haven't seen each other for a long time. I will rest tomorrow, so you should stay with him at home."

Bai Yuhang opened his mouth, sighed finally, put down the bowl and chopsticks, put on his coat and left.

As soon as he left, the room seemed even more empty.Zhao Xi went to the bathroom to take out the tissue, and slapped his face with cold water hard, only then did he feel more awake.

He came out of the bathroom and looked at his watch. It was only past seven o'clock. He hadn't asked for leave in the past two days, and he was extremely tired after the whole day.

Zhao Dongdong watched the TV reluctantly, and Zhao Xi threw the remote control over, "Turn off the TV after watching the baby. Dad, go to bed first."

Zhao Dongdong let out a sullen "Oh", but still nodded obediently, "Then dad, sleep well."

Zhao Xi smiled and said "um", walked slowly into the room, and immediately lay down on the bed and didn't want to move.

After a while, I remembered to cover the quilt, but my hands seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and I couldn't use any strength at all.He seemed to have a dream, in which he kept running.There seemed to be a figure waiting for him in front of him. Zhao Xi didn't know who it was, but desperately wanted to run to his side with a little obsession in his heart, but suddenly his feet sank, and he watched helplessly as the ground cracked and fell into the ground. In the darkness.

Zhao Xi opened his eyes suddenly, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, but the temperature was not right when he put his hand on it.He slowly got up to take the medicine, then washed his face, and went back to sleep.It was still dark at this time.

When he woke up again, the sun outside had already risen in mid-air. Zhao Xi couldn't remember where he was for a moment. He slowly looked around the surrounding environment, and when he heard footsteps running around in the living room, he pulled out a Laughing - oh, it's been six years and his kids are five years old...

"Dongdong—" Zhao Xi shouted at the top of his voice.However, as soon as the sound came out, he was startled, his throat was hoarse as if it was about to burst, and he coughed immediately due to the pain.

Zhao Dongdong ran in with his face flushed, saw his father coughing heart-piercingly, his little face became anxious, and ran out again, staggeringly brought a glass of water.

Zhao Xi took it with a trembling body and drank it all at once, only then did he feel better.

"Baby is so diligent." Zhao Xi praised sincerely, his voice still a little hoarse.

Zhao Dongdong didn't seem to understand, looked at him in confusion, and asked cautiously, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Xi froze for a moment, then waved his hand, "Well, it's fine."

Zhao Dongdong leaned over to him and touched his forehead, frowning like a grown-up, "Dad, have you taken your medicine?"

Zhao Xi was embarrassed, "I ate it last night."

Zhao Dongdong's eyes widened, and he ran out to look for medicine. Uncle Bai said it was in the small cabinet in the living room.The little guy took all the medicines in it with a single brain, and Zhao Xi took out the cold medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine, dumbfounded, and took them according to the amount in front of the child, and finally spread his hands, "Okay?"

Zhao Dongdong nodded, his stomach growled and his expression became embarrassing.

Zhao Xi thumped his head, feeling a little embarrassed, "Uh... Dongdong, shall we order takeaway? Well, you can look for it in the drawer in the living room. It's a small yellow card."

"Yeah!" Zhao Dongdong ran out happily.How did he know what little yellow cards were, so he could only rummage through the drawer, and finally found out in distress that there were no yellow cards, and where were the yellow ones?Where did it go.

The little guy was so anxious that he was sweating all over his head. If he couldn't find it, he and his father would have nothing to eat. What should we do if we can't find it? What should we do!

Zhao Dongdong ran around in the living room, thinking maybe it wasn't the drawer, so he ran into his small bedroom to rummage.Suddenly, the ears moved, and the living room doorbell rang.

The person who comes is very polite, press it, wait for a while, if no one comes, press it again.

Zhao Dongdong looked at the door of his father's room, but there was no movement.He leaned on the door cautiously and asked, "Who is it?"

The hands of the people outside who rang the doorbell stopped, and after a while they said, "Dongdong, it's me, Uncle Qin."

Zhao Dongdong said "ah", opened the door slightly, and poked his head out, "Uncle Qin, why are you here? I, didn't I say that I hate you! Go, go!"

His expression was a little flustered, and he kept looking into the back room.

Qin Muyang felt guilty and distressed, and all kinds of emotions surged. He grabbed the little guy's arms that kept waving, and forced a smile, "Don't be afraid, Dongdong, uncle is here to see you...yours. Don't you invite uncle in?"

Zhao Dongdong looked back and forth in confusion, and finally lowered his head and dared not look at him, "You, you'd better go, my dad... Dad is sick, don't make him angry..."

Qin Muyang's heart twitched, he smiled wryly, and sighed, "Let uncle in. Uncle won't make your father angry. Have you eaten yet?"

Zhao Dongdong raised his head, with a distressed expression on his face, "No. I'm looking for a small yellow card."

Qin Muyang kept looking into the house, and was surprised when he heard this, "What are you looking for for the yellow card? Haven't you eaten yet?"

Zhao Dongdong's small face suddenly collapsed even more, and he faintly cried, "Dad is sick! Uncle Bai is home! Dad is sleeping... Dongdong is so hungry..."

Qin Muyang felt that the sockets of his eyes seemed a little hot, and he didn't care whether the little guy was willing to let him in, he turned in with a slant of his body, picked up the child, gently put it on the sofa in the living room, and rummaged through it in the refrigerator. After a while, I found half a bag of bread, went to the kitchen to warm him a cup of milk, and put it in front of the little guy, "Dongdong, eat some of this first, and you can eat later."

Zhao Dongdong blinked, wanting to thank but also remembering his father's advice, finally lowered his head and said nothing, picked up the bread and started to eat.

Qin Muyang took off his coat and scarf, and put on slippers.Slowly walking to the innermost bedroom, the curtains inside have been drawn, and there is darkness exposed through the crack of the door.

There was a faint lump on the bed, Qin Muyang walked in with light steps, and looked at the curled up person.

After so many years...but I still like to sleep in this position.

Qin Muyang thought for a while, and seemed to remember that he had teased that people who slept in this position lacked a sense of security.

There seemed to be some pity in his heart.Walking slowly, in the dark, he squatted down/body, gently put his hand on his forehead, brushed away the broken hair on it, revealing his frown.

Qin Muyang's heart softened, and his voice was gentle, "Xiao Xi..."

Zhao Xi paused in his dream, feeling that his forehead was very comfortable. He couldn't help opening his mouth and yelling, and rubbed against the palm of that person coquettishly, feeling extremely comfortable.

Qin Muyang looked at him smacking his lips with some amusement, and couldn't help touching his eyes, "Why are you still so careless..."

The palm of his hand was swept by the opponent's eyelashes suddenly, Qin Muyang froze, moved his hand away, and saw Zhao Xi staring at him blankly.

Qin Muyang quickly returned to normal, and smiled slightly, "Are you awake? Are you hungry? I'll cook in a while. Dongdong said you've taken the medicine, so I'll sleep for a while and call you later?"

Zhao Xi was only surprised for a moment, then his eyes slowly moved on his face, and he murmured, "I'm dreaming..."

Then he closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep again, Qin Muyang seemed a little annoyed when he heard this, he lowered/body and said into his ear: "You're not dreaming! It's me!"

Zhao Xi opened his eyes dissatisfied, reached out and pinched his face, "Go away! I want to sleep!"

When Qin Muyang was pinched, his whole mood changed.He smiled and gently pinched his nose, "It's time to eat later, so don't sleep too deeply."

Zhao Xi glared at him angrily, his eyes moistened, and he muttered, "I want to eat 'Mountain Beyond Mountain', 'Xi Shi Tongue', 'Pea and Glutinous Rice'..."

Qin Muyang was stunned for a moment, reached out to rub his hair, and said softly: "Okay, you can eat when you wake up."

Zhao Xi blinked, said something in his mouth and immediately fell asleep.

Qin Muyang stood up, covered him with the quilt, opened the door and walked out.

The bread and milk on the table were all wiped out.Qin Muyang walked over with a little apology, "Can Dongdong still hold on? If you are willing to wait a little longer, there is still dessert to eat?"

Zhao Dongdong struggled to balance, remembering the restaurant where Qin Muyang treated him to eat that day, swallowed, and nodded.

Qin Muyang smiled in satisfaction, turned on the TV for him, and switched to the children's channel.Go to the balcony and make a phone call.

The assistant comrade is very headache, boss, you let me go around half the city to order food in that small corner shop at noon?People work slowly and carefully, and you still want me to get it within an hour?

Song Nan felt depressed and wanted to yell, but her face was calm and respectful, "Okay, boss."

Qin Muyang put down the phone, thought for a while, then rolled up his sleeves, asked Zhao Dong where the rice and vegetables were, and went to the kitchen to make porridge.
