It's really hard to fall asleep alone, Lin Zhiyi tossed and turned in the middle of the night, turned on his phone, and found that it was already 03:30 in the morning.

He took out Zhou Huaisheng's old mobile phone, clicked on the photo album, and flipped through it one by one. He really liked looking at the photos of Juanjuan when he was just born. He was so small, and his facial features were not well developed, like a little monster. , but Lin Zhiyi still thinks it's so cute.

He shrank under the quilt, looked at those photos repeatedly, zoomed in and zoomed in, and then couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

After that, there is a group photo of Zhou Huaisheng and him. It is a pity that they have been together day and night for a year and a half, but only one photo is left.

Zhou Huaisheng is much more haggard than two years ago, because of the wind and sun all year round, his skin is rougher than before, and his eyes have lost their luster.In fact, objectively speaking, Zhou Huaisheng's facial features are not outstanding, it can only be said that he is upright and good-looking, and his gentle eyebrows make him look non-aggressive. In terms of appearance alone, compared with a rich man like Lu Jincheng, Zhou Huaisheng lacks charm.

But Lin Zhiyi felt that he was no worse than anyone else, not because Zhou Huaisheng would get better and better in the future, but because in the small clinic in Yanmeng Village, Lin Zhiyi was moved the moment Zhou Huaisheng walked out of the crowd and approached him. .

He thought of Gu Nian's thick photo album.

I have already missed Zhou Huaisheng's youth, and I can't miss the present anymore. Lin Zhiyi decided to take a family portrait.

As soon as this idea came out, Lin Zhiyi was constantly distracted while working. The financial manager saw that he was absent-minded, so he had to re-report what he had just said.

From [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the evening is the evening peak of takeaway. Lin Zhiyi knew that Zhou Huaisheng must be very busy during this time, so he consciously did not bother him. He went to buy a few picture books and educational toys, and then slowly Driving to Zhou Huaisheng's site, it was exactly [-]:[-] when Lin Zhiyi found a parking space and stopped.

Zhou Huaisheng was answering the phone, probably as a mediator between the customer and the delivery staff, when he said subduedly: "...I know the road is slippery, but timeout is timeout, please apologize to the customer, it's okay ,do not be afraid."

The other party didn't know what to say, Zhou Huaisheng comforted him: "You're only on the second day of work, it's normal to make mistakes, it's okay, if you need to pay, the site can bear half of it, okay, don't cry, I'll send you a waybill now, run more today Take two trips, and the money will come back.”

The computer kept sending reminders for orders from customers, as well as various applications from the delivery staff. Zhou Huaisheng put down the phone and operated on the computer. For the convenience of entering and exiting, his computer desk was placed by the door.

Zhou Huaisheng hadn't noticed Lin Zhiyi standing at the door, so he clicked on the last application for a short break, and the small site finally became quiet. Zhou Huaisheng heaved a sigh of relief, and when he looked up and saw Lin Zhiyi standing beside him, he paused, The tone is alienated: "Off work?"

Lin Zhiyi is still not used to Zhou Huaisheng like this, "Are you still busy?"

"Yes." Zhou Huaisheng nodded.

Juanjuan was lying on the small bed and was bubbling with boredom. When he heard Lin Zhiyi's voice, he rushed over like a little rocket. Lin Zhiyi squatted down and hugged him, and curled his mouth, "Daddy, I really miss you."

Lin Zhiyi's mood improved slightly, and he kissed Juanjuan's little face, "Think about it in just one day? After that, Juanjuan will go to school, and he will stay in school for a day."

Juanjuan quickly hugged Lin Zhiyi's neck, "Then I won't go to school."

Lin Zhiyi smiled.

Zhou Huaisheng was still dealing with the system, and had no time to pay attention to the conversation between Lin Zhiyi and Juanjuan. Lin Zhiyi's smile gradually faded. Every time he hugged Juanjuan before, Zhou Huaisheng would watch them quietly , cast a gentle gaze, but this time, Lin Zhiyi didn't feel it.

Lin Zhiyi put Juanjuan on the small bed, and then put the picture books and toys he bought next to him, "Jujuan can paint on the book, the watercolor pen is here, and Jujuan can choose a color he likes."

Juanjuan was holding a watercolor pen holder to choose colors, Lin Zhiyi hesitated for a moment, got up and approached Zhou Huaisheng, leaned against the table, and said, "When do you get off work?"

"Not sure, what's wrong?"

"I... I made an appointment with a photographer, and I will go to his studio to take a family portrait tonight."

Zhou Huaisheng stopped his movements, Lin Zhiyi immediately became nervous, and explained: "The main thing is to take pictures. That photographer is very good at taking pictures of children. He happens to have time tonight."

Hearing the words "family portrait", Zhou Huaisheng was in a daze for a moment, but he knew what it meant to take such a photo, and he also knew that Lin Zhiyi was apologizing in this way.

He put away the reveries he shouldn't have, and focused his eyes back on the computer screen. He said, "Then you take the scroll, I can't go away here."

Lin Zhiyi was extremely disappointed, Zhou Huaisheng seemed to be a different person, his eyes and tone were cold, Lin Zhiyi was pampered in front of Zhou Huaisheng, he had never been wronged like this, he endured tears, and used the usual coquettish tone Said: "Zhou Huaisheng, I really want to take a family portrait—"

Before the words finished, Zhou Huaisheng's phone rang, and it was Xiaoquan's voice, "Brother Huaisheng, a delivery man next to my milk tea shop started a fight with the shop owner! I think he belongs to your site, and he works The number is, it is 6894, do you know it? Do you want to deal with it?"

Zhou Huaisheng got up suddenly, "I'll deal with it."

Lin Zhiyi could only swallow back what he hadn't finished, and watched Zhou Huaisheng leave. Zhou Huaisheng just stepped out and remembered that he didn't have his work card. He turned back and pulled out a blue work card belt from the side of the keyboard. He moved very quickly , didn’t notice that the other end of the badge was being pressed by the thermos cup, he pulled out the badge, and the thermos cup toppled over in an instant, spilling all the scalding hot water on Lin Zhiyi’s left hand and pants.

Zhou Huaisheng was in a hurry to deal with things and had already left the door.

Lin Zhiyi stared blankly at his reddened hands.

Juanjuan was frightened and cried, he hurriedly put down what he was holding, and ran to Lin Zhiyi's side.

The scar on Lin Zhiyi's hand has not disappeared. In fact, he took Lin Yande's knife with his hand that day, and his palm was scratched by the blade, and the injury was serious, but no matter how painful it was then, it didn't hurt as much as it does now.

He knew Zhou Huaisheng didn't do it on purpose.

His heart was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe, but he still wanted to comfort Juanjuan, "It doesn't hurt, little daddy doesn't hurt, can Juanjuan accompany little daddy to buy medicine?"

Juanjuan wiped away her tears, hummed and said, "Okay."

Lin Zhiyi carried Juanjuan to the nearest pharmacy, bought the medicine and applied it directly at the pharmacy. Juanjuan puffed up her mouth and blew hard. The doctor boasted: "The baby is so good."

Lin Zhiyi smiled, hugged Juanjuan and left.

"Is Juanjuan hungry?" Lin Zhiyi asked.

Juanjuan struggled not to let him be hugged, so Lin Zhiyi had no choice but to put him down, "What's wrong?"

"I'll go by myself, little daddy's hand hurts."

Warmth welled up in his heart, which turned into endless sorrow, Lin Zhiyi was almost in tears, he knelt down, touched Juanjuan's little face, and then hugged him.

Lin Zhiyi always thinks of what Zhou Huaisheng said, "His impulse was to bring a child into this world to suffer." Lin Zhiyi also endured the inner torture repeatedly in the middle of the night. Juanjuan is so frail, sensitive and precocious, All because of him.

But without that night, would there still be Juan Juan?Such a sensible and lovely child, there will be no second one, Juanjuan is irreplaceable.

Juanjuan took Lin Zhiyi's uninjured hand and walked towards Zhou Huaisheng's station. Zhou Huaisheng hadn't come back yet. Lin Zhiyi accompanied Juan to paint for a while. Yi Yi, "Dad said, I can't touch the puppy."

"Because the puppy has fur on its body, it will get into Curly's nose, which will make Curly uncomfortable."

"Okay." Juanjuan nodded obediently.

He touched Lin Zhiyi's left hand carefully, leaning on Lin Zhiyi's leg, and soon fell asleep again.

Zhou Huaisheng rode his bike to the milk tea shop where Xiaoquan worked, and next to it was a fried chicken shop. The takeaway staff had a breakdown because of waiting too long for the meal, so they clashed with the shop. The crowd took a video and posted it on the Internet. Zhou Huaisheng rushed to the shop At the scene, the businessman's face was stained, and he was waiting for the police to come. Zhou Huaisheng, as the person in charge of the site, naturally didn't want to make a big deal out of it. Before the police arrived, he went to negotiate with the businessman first.

"I am the person in charge of this food delivery site. I apologize to you on his behalf. Our delivery man was too impulsive and hurt you. We must pay for the medical expenses. Please calm down. Our little king is Just here, the platform has just issued new rules recently, bad reviews and complaints will deduct not only the delivery fee but also wages, a fine of 200 yuan, you know, we only earn two or 300 yuan a day, we really can’t afford the fine, he If you did something wrong, you must apologize and be responsible, but please understand the difficulties..."

The merchant saw that Zhou Huaisheng looked honest and kind, and he was polite and polite in his words and deeds. In addition, he did have a problem with the speed of serving meals, and he didn't bother to pursue it any further, so he agreed to mediate. After the police arrived, the delivery staff would compensate the merchant for the medicine. Fee settled the matter.

Xiaoquan was watching the excitement from the sidelines, and when Zhou Huaisheng came out, he praised repeatedly: "Brother Huaisheng, it's lucky to have you, otherwise, with the attitude of the merchant just now, this matter would definitely become a big deal."

"Contradictions often occur, and it's not a big deal." Zhou Huaisheng walked to the battery car.

Xiaoquan followed and said with a smirk: "Brother Huaisheng, after you came to a big city, you have become more and more like a city person."

Zhou Huaisheng said helplessly: "How is it possible? How are you doing at work now?"

"It's not good. I'm ready to go home for the New Year after finishing my job this month. My mother found me a hairdresser, and I'll learn how to cut hair from him."

"It's also very good."

Xiaoquan took off his doll costume, put it in the milk tea shop, and hurried out again: "Brother Huaisheng, are you off work? I'll treat you to dinner, oh no, it's almost eight o'clock, let me treat you to supper ?”

"No, no, I don't eat supper."

"Well, then take me to your work place to have a look. I have been in Wangcheng for so long, and I haven't been to many places except the milk tea shop and my cousin's house."

Zhou Huaisheng agreed, his battery car has already removed the takeaway box, just to make room for it, "Okay."

Xiaoquan sat up immediately.

"By the way, Brother Huaisheng, I have some good news for you. The little chubby of Mr. Liu's family did very well in the college entrance examination this year. He was admitted to a science and technology university in the south. Anyway, he is very good. Mr. Liu arranged it well. Long running water seats."

Zhou Huaisheng drove in the direction of the site, and was very happy to hear that: "Little Fatty has always had good grades, and he was smart since he was a child."

"I'm so envious. If I knew I would repeat my studies for another year, I would not go to a vocational school. Now I can't find a job after I leave."

"You are also a smart kid. You are very good at learning crafts. I have a colleague's younger brother who also works in a barber shop and earns more than 9000 a month."

"This is in Wangcheng. The economy here is developed. If you go back to Yantai, you won't be able to earn so much, but I will still learn the craft." Xiaoquan sighed, and suddenly said, "Brother Huaisheng, wait for you." I'm not busy, can I go back and have a look? My mother often talks about you."

Zhou Huaisheng was silent for a few seconds, "Okay, I'll go back after the Chinese New Year. It would be nice to open a small restaurant in the town."

"Huh? What small restaurant? Wait, what do you mean by going back?"

"The child is taken by his little father, and I can't help in all aspects. Instead of letting the child run around, I thought it would be better for me to let go and let the child grow up in a wealthy environment."

"Wait, wait, why can't I understand? You mean, you don't want children anymore?"

Those words were like stabbing a knife into Zhou Huaisheng's heart, "No, it's just me..."

"You can't do this! Brother Huaisheng, don't you remember how you grew up? Do you want your child to be like you? My dad also works outside all the year round, but when he comes back during the holidays, Anyway, we are a happy family, you don't need to be with him every day, but you can't let him have no father."

Xiaoquan's words made Zhou Huaisheng startled, the red light turned green, and he continued to ride forward.

"Brother Huaisheng, do you like that Gu Zhiyi?"

"I like it." Zhou Huaisheng replied without thinking.

"It's fine if you like it. There's nothing to worry about. You see, you are very good now. You are the person in charge of a lot of delivery people. In a few years, you will be able to gain a foothold in Wangcheng."

The car happened to drive to a crossroads, Zhou Huaisheng pointed to a towering building in the distance, and said to Xiaoquan, "That's the Dingsheng Building."

Xiaoquan looked over and exclaimed, "Wow! It's so tall!"

"That's where he works. There are many shopping malls in that building, all of which are his."

Xiaoquan was completely dumbfounded, he was stunned for a long time before shouting: "Dare you pick up a million, oh no, oh no, billionaire?"

Zhou Huaisheng smiled helplessly.

"How could it be like this? How could it be like this?" Xiaoquan couldn't figure it out. He scratched his head and said, "If you are together, you will be very sad, but if you are not together, the child will also be sad." It will be very sad, such a troublesome situation.”

Zhou Huaisheng didn't say a word, he rode to the station and stopped, "It's just a small board house, nothing to see, but there is a new shopping mall diagonally opposite, you can go there and have a look."

Xiaoquan waved his hands again and again, looked at the shops and buildings on both sides, "It's okay, I'll just take a look."

After Zhou Huaisheng left, the computer beeped again. Lin Zhiyi sat in Zhou Huaisheng's seat, and found out the form he had taught Zhou Huaisheng to make.

Following Lin Zhiyi's guidance, Zhou Huaisheng marked more than a dozen business processes and methods.

Lin Zhiyi still had an impression of Zhou Huaisheng's operation of modifying the delivery route last time, so he helped deal with some urgent requests. He was afraid of doing the rest, and he would let Zhou Huaisheng take the blame, so he didn't dare to mess around.

Fortunately, it was not the right hand that was burned.

About half an hour later, he heard the sound of Zhou Huaisheng pulling out the key of the battery car, Zhou Huaisheng walked in, Lin Zhiyi pointed to the screen and said: "I have processed a few applications for temporary rerouting for you, please see if there is any problem. "

Xiaoquan followed him in. When he saw Lin Zhiyi and thought of a billionaire standing in front of him, his eyes lit up instantly, and he was inexplicably nervous. He subconsciously hid behind Zhou Huaisheng, and said excitedly: "Gu Sir, you are here too!"

Seeing the distance between the two of them, Lin Zhiyi's heart sank again and again, and he hit the ground hard. He curled the corner of his mouth numbly, and got up to respond to Xiaoquan's greeting: "Hello."

Zhou Huaisheng leaned over and looked at the processed column, "No problem, thank you."

"Then I'll go first." Lin Zhiyi picked up the phone, turned around and said goodbye to Juanjuan, then nodded at Xiaoquan, and left the site.

Zhou Huaisheng looked at Lin Zhiyi's back, and Xiao Quan patted Zhou Huaisheng on the shoulder, "Since you like it, why are you making such a fuss?"

Zhou Huaisheng didn't answer. He sat down and continued to process the applications popped up by the system. Soon, someone came to change shifts with him.

Zhou Huaisheng packed up his things, put on Juanjuan's coat and scarf, and took out the straps to carry him on his back. Xiaoquan wanted to go shopping in the mall, so he left first, and Zhou Huaisheng returned home with Juanjuan.

After staying in Lin Zhiyi's villa and the high-end ward of the hospital for a few days, Zhou Huaisheng suddenly returned to the small rented house. Zhou Huaisheng felt that the light had become much dimmer. No wonder Juanjuan preferred to stay at Lin Zhiyi's house.

Before going to bed, Juanjuan wanted to drink milk, Zhou Huaisheng made a cup of milk powder and brought it to Juanjuan, Jujuan took a sip, then wrinkled his face and said it was hot.

"Then wait a little longer." Zhou Huaisheng stirred again with his chopsticks.

Juanjuan sat under the quilt, and suddenly said: "Today, my little daddy got hot too, and was caught by the water in daddy's thermos."

Zhou Huaisheng froze, "What?"

"Dad, when you left today, you knocked down the cup, and your little dad's hands were burned red, and then went to the doctor's aunt to buy medicine." Juanjuan was about to cry as he spoke, with tears streaming down his face He fell down with a rustle, turned his face away angrily, and said sadly: "Little daddy hurts very much."

Zhou Huaisheng tried hard to recall what happened that night.

That badge.

It is estimated that he just poured the water and was busy with work, so he put the thermos on it. Before he left, he grabbed the blue strip and ran away. He didn't pay attention to the thermos, so he overturned it and burned Lin Zhiyi. hands.

Lin Zhiyi still has injuries on his hands!

Zhou Huaisheng couldn't care less about the cold war and awkwardness, he fished out Juan from the bed, and asked, "Can Juan accompany daddy to find little daddy?"

Juanjuan nodded immediately, and took the initiative to climb to the end of the bed, picked up his clothes and put them on. Zhou Huaisheng helped the little guy put on his pants and down jacket. Zhou Huaisheng even forgot to turn off the light, so he rushed downstairs to get the car with Juanjuan on his back.

The dog in the yard barked twice when he heard the movement.

It was too cold at night and the wind was strong, Zhou Huaisheng didn't dare to ride too fast. The security guards in the villa area had already taken it easy on Zhou Huaisheng, and pressed the control button to let Zhou Huaisheng in.

Lin Zhiyi's villa is very dark. At first glance, it seems that there is no one there, but there is an orange light in the living room, which should be a floor lamp.

Zhou Huaisheng knew the password of the gate, but when he entered the yard and walked to the gate, he still chose to knock.

After a long time, Lin Zhiyi came over.

The inside of the room was darker than the outside. Facing the moonlight, Lin Zhiyi saw Zhou Huaisheng outside the door, as if he didn't know him, and stared blankly for a long time.

"How is your hand? Is it seriously injured?" Zhou Huaisheng asked.

Lin Zhiyi's grievances came up belatedly, and the tears in his eyes finally fell uncontrollably. He quickly wiped them away with his sleeve, held back his sobs, shook his head and said, "It's not serious."

Seeing him like this, Zhou Huaisheng's whole heart was tugged, he grabbed Lin Zhiyi's hand involuntarily, saw the shocking redness on the back of his left hand, and frowned tightly, "I will definitely have blisters when I wake up tomorrow. "

He put the scroll down like a schoolbag, without even taking off the straps. After changing into slippers, he went to the bathroom to fill a basin of cold water and carried it to the living room. Lin Zhiyi walked over with the scroll in his arms. Zhou Huaisheng asked him to put his hand Take a dip in cool water.

Lin Zhiyi obediently put his hand in.

The scrolls were also put away, but Zhou Huaisheng took them aside.

"Sorry, I didn't notice the thermos cup on the badge today."

Lin Zhiyi shook his head, "It's okay."

The floor lamp shone on his profile, his lonely appearance made Zhou Huaisheng feel distressed.

"Where's Xiaoquan? Still working at the milk tea shop?" Lin Zhiyi asked.

"Well, he will return to Yanmeng Village at the end of the month."

"how about you?"

Zhou Huaisheng did not speak.

Lin Zhiyi's tears fell into the basin, causing small ripples, and he asked, "Do you really hate me to this extent?"

"How could I hate you? I just can't digest those things for a while."

"Ah Huai, I know I was wrong."

"What you did to me, I don't blame you at all, I just can't bear to watch the child suffer, you know that the child born by beta and omega will not be healthy, but you still bring him into this world , This is the only thing I regret. Of course, it is meaningless to say these things now. Juanjuan is already two years old. In less than two months since you appeared, he has gained a lot of weight, and he doesn’t get sick often. It’s much more lively than before, and I should thank you.”

Lin Zhiyi wiped away tears and looked away.

"Zhiyi, regarding the matter of the child, I haven't figured out a solution yet, but the matter between you and me—"

"Zhou Huaisheng, let's take a family portrait tomorrow." Lin Zhiyi interrupted him.

Zhou Huaisheng looked at Lin Zhiyi in surprise.

"If you miss the appointment again, the photographer will be angry." Lin Zhiyi held back tears and pretended to be relaxed, "Just go and take a few family portraits, as a souvenir for me, okay?"
