Zhuo Li looked at Sun Yanshi without blinking, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, I came to see you like this again."

His original plan was to handle everything well, at least to stand in front of Sun Yanshi cleanly and decently.However, the plan was always disrupted again and again. Last time he ran to the restaurant in a hurry, but this time he was forced to come back in disgrace.

The clothes are crumpled, the tie is crooked, and because of sweating a lot, the hair looks like bad pomade, hanging on the forehead in strands, how embarrassing it is.

Sun Yanshi's throat tightened for a while, he lowered his eyes to avoid Zhuo Li's gaze, looked at the baby less than one year old who was gnawing his finger in the other's arms, and asked again: "Why are you here?" But this time his tone softened. few.

It was hard to say what to say, Zhuo Li struggled several times in his heart, opened his mouth a few times before saying in a hoarse voice: "This is me——me, my son."

Sun Yanshi folded his hands in front of his chest, and used such a self-protective posture and haughty expression to cover up his trembling hands. Fortunately, after the unexpected meeting in the hotel, he has been able to control his emotions well. .

"So?" He looked at Zhuo Li and said sarcastically, "In order to tell me that you have a son, you brought it here for me to see if I didn't believe it?"

"No, it's not." Zhuo Li lowered his eyes in embarrassment, and explained hastily, "My mother fainted this morning and is now in the intensive care unit of the hospital. I have to go to the hospital to take care of her. It happened suddenly. I just came back from province A today. , I haven’t had time to find a nanny, and you know that my mother has no close relatives, and the baby is too young to go to the hospital, so——” His voice became rougher and more incoherent, “So, I just Can you bring him to you, can you take care of me for half a day."

At the end, he slowly raised his head, his eyes were already filled with scorching red bloodshot eyes.

Sun Yanshi looked at Zhuo Li who was almost begging humbly. He knew that no matter how good Zhuo Li was, he would not use his own mother and children as an excuse to get close to him.And Zhuo Li is a very strong person, if he was not forced to be helpless, he would not speak so abruptly.

He glanced at the innocent and harmless baby again, and replied softly: "Yes." Then he stretched out his hand towards the child.

The baby's clear and bright eyes looked at Sun Yanshi's hands, and then at Sun Yanshi's face, as if he was thinking and estimating something in his small head, and after a pause, he waved his hands excitedly and grabbed it. Sun Yanshi's fingers rushed towards his arms.

Sun Yanshi grabbed the child's armpit, but felt a resistance, he looked at Zhuo Li impatiently: "Do you want me to help?"

Zhuo Li was still in a daze, but when he heard the sound, he came back to his senses and slowly loosened his arms.The child threw himself into Sun Yanshi's arms, completely ignoring life, and giggling.

Sun Yanshi took the child's hand out of his mouth, and then grabbed the bib on the child's chest to help him wipe off the silky drool on his hand.

The harmonious scene in front of him made Zhuo Li's eyes sour, and he asked in disbelief, "Do you agree?"

"Otherwise?" Sun Yanshi looked at Zhuo Li calmly, "Didn't you ask me to help?"

"Yes, yes." Zhuo Li nodded, but he was not happy at all in his heart.The child he had with someone else was a minefield between him and Sun Yanshi. If it wasn't for the fact that he had no choice but to bring the child to Sun Yanshi.Along the way, he kept imagining Sun Yanshi's reaction when he saw the child, such as getting angry, angry, cursing or doing something directly, but he never thought that Sun Yanshi would accept it so calmly.

Even Sun Yanshi, the child born to him and others, was hugged in his arms without any grievances, so what else would he care about?

"Aren't you in a hurry?" Sun Yanshi looked at Zhuo Li and reminded him, "Still leaving?"

Zhuo Li nodded blankly, he knew that he should rush to the hospital immediately, but he couldn't lift his legs as if he had fallen into a swamp, he moved his chapped lips, but he didn't know what to say.

Langyue, who had been standing aside and tugging at Sun Yanshi's pants, didn't understand what had happened, but because of the lessons learned from the past, she couldn't help being wary when she saw the strange uncle again. She pulled Sun Yanshi's pants and called out softly. With a loud voice: "Dad——"

Her voice was small, like that of a kitten that has not been weaned.

It was only then that Zhuo Li noticed the pretty doll-like girl next to Sun Yanshi, and she also heard the daddy just now.He had seen this little girl from the photos, she was the little tenant of Sun Yanshi's house, she was the younger sister of the young man he had seen last time, and he also knew that Sun Yanshi was very close to them.

But how close does it have to be before a little girl calls a man who has no blood relationship Papa?He looked at Sun Yanshi in disbelief, but the other party had already lowered his head to look at the little girl, gently stroking the little girl's chubby face, and said softly, "Good boy, let's go home later."

This scene hurt Zhuo Li's eyes, he tried his best to restrain the turbulent emotions, and asked in a trembling voice: "Why did she call you father?"

Sun Yanzhi's movements froze, and he turned his head to meet Zhuo Li's gaze, with a sneer on his face: "You can have a son, but I can't have a daughter?"

"That's not what I meant," Zhuo Li subconsciously took a step forward, "She called you Dad, that young man, he and you—"

"Zhuo Li!" Only then did Sun Yanshi realize that last time outside the hotel, Zhuo Li questioned him about his relationship with Lang Song in the same way. He suddenly got angry and interrupted Zhuo Li with a low shout, gritted his teeth, and said, "Don't think everything is wrong. The world is full of homosexuals, and the sexual orientation of most men in this world is 'female'! Besides, what identity and position do you use to question me, what qualifications do you have?!" He pointed to the child in his arms, "You If you really come to me for help, get out, if you come to find fault, get out with your son."

Zhuo Li was taken aback by the drink, and the turbulent emotions calmed down instantly. He took half a step back regretfully: "I'm sorry, I-I don't know why I became like this, I'm sorry." He put the bag on his shoulder on the At Sun Yanshi's feet, it seemed that he was afraid that Sun Yanshi would regret it, and he spoke quickly and authentically, "There are diapers and milk powder bottles in the bag, so I'll go first, and I will pick him up as soon as possible."

"Wait a minute." Sun Yanshi stopped Zhuo Li again.

Zhuo Li looked back expectantly, he thought Sun Yanshi wanted to say something to him, but he heard the other party say coldly: "If you come to pick him up, contact me in advance, don't go to my house without authorization."

Zhuo Li moved the corners of his stiff lips, but he didn't have the strength to open his mouth at all when he wanted to speak, so he just nodded in the end.

When the car left the intersection, Sun Yanshi withdrew his gaze and turned around slowly, but unexpectedly met the gaze of Aunt Ding Shu Ding at the entrance of the dumpling shop.

Although the aborigines in Lanying Lane know that he is gay, only a few people know who his "object" is. Unfortunately, Aunt Ding Shuding is one of the few people who know. Because they were close and had seen Zhuo Li.When he was in high school, he took Zhuo Li to the dumpling restaurant to eat dumplings many times.

Sun Yanshi wasn't sure if Aunt Ding Shu and Ding recognized Zhuo Li, and he naturally had no obligation to explain, but just nodded slightly and turned to leave.

"Little Sun." Aunt Ding called out softly.

Sun Yanzhi thought that Aunt Ding wanted to ask something, so she turned her head after a pause, but saw Aunt Ding raised her arms in a hugging gesture, and reminded, "The baby's waist hasn't grown well yet, and if you have no strength, you can't do it." Just drag the buttocks and hug him, and protect his back with the other hand, so as not to let him fall back."

Sun Yanshi was startled, then hugged the child's back according to his words, nodded and said, "Thank you."

Aunt Ding smiled plainly, and said, "The water for making milk powder needs to be between [-] and [-] degrees, and there is also changing diapers—oh, there are too many things to explain. If you can't take care of them, you can tell me." Send it here, I'll take care of it for you."

Sun Yanshi responded with a smile: "Okay." Thinking of his purpose of going out, he said again, "Aunt Ding, Mrs. Zhang was discharged from the hospital today. Will you help me to pick up the trip later?"

Aunt Ding replied in multiple voices: "Okay, okay, I will take her back to the house."

Sun Yanshi carried a bag on his shoulders and held the child in his arms, letting Lang Yue drag his clothes, and the three of them went home.As soon as he entered the door, Zhuo Li's message came over. He probably suddenly realized that there were many things that had not been explained, so he sent all the tutorials on how to make milk powder and how to change diapers, and added a sentence "you can call me" at the end .

In fact, Sun Yanshi thought of this from the moment Zhuo Li took over the baby. He originally planned to ask Aunt Hua for help, or call Lang Song, but now he decided that if he couldn't handle the little kid, he would go Find Aunt Ding.

Langyue leaned close to Sun Yanshi, wanting to reach out to touch the baby's face, but she didn't dare, so she raised her eyes shyly to ask for Sun Yanshi's opinion.

Sun Yanshi smiled, held her hand, and said, "This is my younger brother."

Langyue looked at Sun Yanshi's mouth seriously, tried to open her mouth, and uttered two sounds vaguely, which was not standard, but daring to speak was already a great improvement.

Sun Yanzhi tilted his head and rubbed her face, encouraging: "Yueyue is so good, so amazing."

The little kid in his arms seemed to understand, slapped his little hands vigorously, and giggled.

Sun Yanzhi looked at the little kid in his arms with complicated eyes. In fact, even if he didn't know that Zhuo Li had a son, and Zhuo Li never said anything, he could tell at a glance that this was Zhuo Li's child.Because they look so much alike, the upturned phoenix eyes and the tall nose bridge are almost like carved out of a mold, and you can already tell that he is a handsome guy at a young age.

In any case, the child is innocent, and Sun Yanshi will not vent his inexplicable emotions on the child, besides, he feels that he is very calm and has no extra emotions.

Looking at the well-behaved baby in his arms, Sun Yanshi suddenly remembered something, Zhuo Li didn't say what the baby's name was.He raised his eyebrows and pointed at the baby's nose and asked, "Hey, what's your name?" The two front teeth had just sprouted, so naturally he couldn't answer, so he turned his head and asked Langyue, "He loves to laugh so much, call him 'giggle' 'Come on, no, no, take advantage of us, call him 'hee hee'?"

Langyuele Taotao nodded, and Huang Dou ran over at some point, sticking out her tongue and looking at "hee hee", looking very happy, and the little kid who was hastily given a new name followed suit.

In the evening, as soon as Lang Song, who came to deliver dinner, entered the store, he saw such a scene - Huang Doujian was lying on the ground with his head drooping, Sun Yanzhi at the counter was exhausted and slumped in a chair, a fat little boy in white The baby was leaning on him in the same posture as him, holding a feeding bottle in his hand, and was drinking tons and tons of milk.Langyue stood aside, kneading Sun Yanshi's arm intimately.

Lang Song was dumbfounded, and it took him a while to come back to his senses: "What's going on?"

Sun Yanshi, who was drowsy, heard Lang Song's voice, opened his half-closed eyes suddenly, and shouted as if seeing a savior: "Xiao Song, come and help me—"

Lang Song immediately put the lunch box in his hand on the counter, picked up the familiar-looking child from Sun Yanshi's arms, and skillfully adjusted a posture that made the child comfortable.

He touched the child's butt, which was hard and heavy, so he asked, "Is there a diaper? He peed."

"Huh? Did you pee again?"

Sun Yanshi is almost the same size as the head and two big. This little kid is quite obedient, he doesn't cry or make trouble, but he is too lively and loves to play.Someone must hold him and walk around to see him. In the afternoon, Sun Yanshi carried him to the yard to play more than a dozen times, his tired arms were stiff. Later, Huangdou's "brother" came to the stage, jumping up and down to coax the children, and he also fell down because of exhaustion. up.

Ten minutes ago, he burst into tears. He took Aunt Ding to ask him and found out that he was hungry and urinated. So Aunt Ding helped make milk powder and changed the diaper. Only 10 minutes later, he urinated again.

Looking at Sun Yanshi's tired face, Lang Song felt distressed. He glanced at the lunch box: "Eat first, I'll go upstairs and change a diaper for him."

Sun Yanzhi felt as if he had been pardoned and felt that he could eat a cow. He hugged Langyue on his lap and muttered, "Baby, you are the best."

Lang Song laughed, carried the child into the yard and went upstairs, and returned to the shop after a while.

Sun Yanshi had almost finished his meal. Seeing that Lang Song had returned, he took two mouthfuls of rice and said vaguely, "I'll be ready soon."

Lang Song frowned: "Eat slowly, the store is not busy today, I don't need to hurry back." A few days ago, a new hot pot restaurant was opened opposite their restaurant, and they are holding a [-]% discount event these days. There was no business, so I came to deliver dinner when I was free.

Hearing this, Sun Yanshi was not in a hurry, he picked up a large piece of fish for Lang Yue, and continued to eat by himself.

Lang Song played with his finger to the child in his arms, hesitantly asked again, "Whose family does this child belong to?"

Sun Yanshi's hand holding the vegetables froze for a moment, but he returned to normal immediately. He swallowed a big mouthful of rice and replied calmly without raising his head: "Zhuoli's son." After a pause, he added, " It's the man at the hotel door last time, me—my ex."

Although Lang Song could tell from the child's appearance, Lang Song couldn't help being stunned when he heard the answer from Sun Yanshi himself, and Sun Yanshi said "predecessor" frankly.But rather than being shocked, he had more doubts in his mind.

From Zhuo Li's entanglement and Sun Yanshi's overreaction last time, it can be seen that the breakup between the two must have been unpleasant, and Zhuo Li was at fault.

Although he still doesn't know much about Sun Yanshi's past experiences, it can be guessed from Sun Yanshi's alcoholic and decadent appearance in the past, as well as various recent events, that it was not only Zhang Xun's death, his mother's I am afraid that most of the reasons for his death are on that person named Zhuo Li.

Lang Song's brain is spinning fast. This little milk baby is Zhuo Li's child. It looks about seven or eight months old, plus ten months of pregnancy, which means that Zhuo Li and a woman had a child a year and a half ago. .But people can't conceive if they want to, it takes at least one or two months of preparation time or longer, and Sun Yanzhi's history of alcoholism is two years in his medical history.

So, was it because Zhuo Li broke up with Sun Yanshi back then, got married to a woman and had a child, was it because Sun Yanshi fell into a slump?Or Zhuo Li had a woman and child without telling Sun Yanshi, and Sun Yanshi was hit hard when he found out?

And now, is Zhuo Li divorced or broke up, trying to save Sun Yanshi?

Lang Song felt that he was close to the answer, but he didn't dare to think about it further.Looking down at the soft and harmless child in his arms, he actually felt that he was holding a little hedgehog covered in spikes all over his body.

He looked at Sun Yanshi in disbelief, and wanted to ask, why did this kid appear here?Did you forgive Zhuo Li so easily?

Lang Song was very angry, angry at himself, angry at himself for not having the position to ask, angry at himself for not being able to ask.

Sensing Lang Song's gaze, Sun Yanshi looked up, and their eyes met lightly.He didn't know what Lang Song was thinking, but he probably guessed that it might be related to Zhuo Li. He couldn't help but think of Zheng Ye. If Zheng Ye knew that he helped Zhuo Li look after the child all afternoon, he would probably tie him up and send him to a mental hospital. go.

Thinking wildly in his mind, he suddenly laughed out loud, and when he was stared at by Lang Song's sharp eyes, he pursed the corners of his lips to hold back.After a pause, he explained to Lang Song: "Zhuo Li is in an emergency, so I'll help him take care of his son temporarily." Finally, he added, "Only this once."

He did not elaborate, nor was he prepared to explain further.Although he no longer has any secrets in front of Lang Song, he is not going to say anything about Zhuo Li and himself, because it is absolutely private, and there is really nothing to say, and it has been two years.

It's true that this time, he's not an idiot.

As soon as this remark came out, Lang Song was blocked even though he had a thousand words to say, and how could those words in his heart come out of his current status as a "tenant" and "brother".

More than once, he impulsively thought about telling Sun Yanshi his feelings frankly, but reason immediately prevailed and forced him to give up this idea.Regardless of Sun Yanshi's attitude towards Zhuo Li, there is still an 11-year age gap between him and Sun Yanshi, and he can see that Sun Yanshi really treats him as a younger brother.

If he spoke rashly, he couldn't imagine what Sun Yanshi would think and do.

Sun Yanshi saw that Lang Song was looking at him intently, but his eyes were empty, so he raised his hand and waved: "What's the matter, what are you thinking?"

"No, it's nothing." Lang Song came back to his senses and asked, "Didn't you say your arm is sore? Let me squeeze it for you?"

Sun Yanshi cleaned up the last mouthful of rice in the bowl, wiped his mouth with a paper towel: "No need, go to work quickly, it's not good to be out for too long."

Lang Song looked at the baby in his arms who was drowsy after drinking enough milk, and said, "I'll put him to sleep before going back."

Sun Yanshi snorted with a smile, "He's quite safe in your arms."

Lang Song put Xixi to sleep and put him on his bed before going back to the restaurant. The restaurant was very empty at night, Xiaohe saw that he was preoccupied, so he asked him to get off work first.

Lang Song returned to Lanying Lane, hehe had already woken up, Sun Yanshi put him on the counter, and Lang Yue and Lang Yue played with him listlessly.

Lang Song hugged Xixi, and asked in a deep voice, "When will he pick you up?"

Sun Yanshi replied weakly: "I don't know." As soon as he finished speaking, the cell phone beside him rang, he picked it up, cut off the call with an "um", and said, "Here we are now."

Lang Song said, "Where is he? Let me carry him."

"No need," Sun Yanshi shook his head resolutely, "I'll go."

Lang Song opened his mouth to speak but stopped, but Sun Yanshi had already taken him away from his arms, hehe.Langyue looked up at her brother's frowning, and cleverly followed Sun Yanshi by the hem of his clothes.

Zhuo Li was waiting at the entrance of the alley, his face was uglier than during the day, but fortunately the night covered his tired eyes, he pulled his wrinkled clothes and straightened his back as much as possible.

Sun Yanshi walked to the alley, and handed Xixi to Zhuo Li without saying a word.

Zhuo Li looked at his son who was reluctant to leave Sun Yanshi's embrace just now, and said with a smile: "He likes you very much."

In fact, this son is not very close to him. In province A, the child’s mother and nanny took care of him at the beginning. After the divorce, his mother and nanny have been taking care of him. When he goes out in the morning, his son is either sleeping or drinking milk, waiting for him to come back late at night. , The son is already asleep, and the father and son have no time to spend together.In fact, he was also very resistant to this child.

Sun Yanshi snorted inexplicably, and asked, "How is your mother?"

A look of light flashed in Zhuo Li's tired eyes, and he replied, "It's already stabilized."

Sun Yanshi nodded: "Then I'm going back." After finishing speaking, he took Lang Yue's hand and turned to leave.

"Proverbs!"

Zhuo Li's hoarse voice sounded behind him, Sun Yanshi stopped in his tracks, and hid himself in the dark alleyway without turning his head or making a sound.

Zhuo Li said in an almost begging tone: "Next time, shall we talk next time?"

In the darkness, Sun Yanshi's pupils trembled imperceptibly, and then he said calmly, "Yes."

The author has something to say:

Do not misunderstand!Xiao Sun really never forgets!
