Song Nuo called An Luo back almost instantly.

"Lolo, why did you get up so early today?"

An Luo smiled: "Because I'm going to go to the shop with Xing Xing today."

"What kind of shop?"

An Luo: "He wants to open a cat cafe. Do you know a cat cafe? It's the kind of place where you can read books, drink coffee, and there are a lot of cute cats in it where you can pet them."

Song Nuo: "I heard that the girls in my class seem to like it very much."

An Luo: "So Xing Xing and I also want to give it a try. It would be the best if we can make some money. If we can't make money, just treat it as paying tuition fees."

Song Nuo: "Okay, if you have something to do, I won't bother you. It's just next week, Xixi's birthday, and the child will be sad if he doesn't see you..."

Before Song Nuo finished speaking, a girl's sweet voice came from the other end of the phone: "Uncle~ Xixi misses you~"

An Luo couldn't help laughing: "Are you missing Uncle, or Uncle's lollipop?"

The little girl whimpered: "I didn't want candy! Uncle, won't you come and see Xixi tomorrow?"

Song Nuo: "Uncle has something to do tomorrow."

"I don't want...I want my uncle to play with me..."

Song Nuo: "Song Xi, don't lose your temper, Dad is going to be angry."

Song Xi immediately said aggrieved "Oh", "Is it possible that Uncle doesn't like Xixi..."

Song Nuo: "You girl is becoming more and more outrageous, if you make trouble again, I will punish you."

Seeing that Song Nuo was about to get angry, An Luo hurriedly said: "Then I'll go there in the afternoon. Xixi, uncle will go over to see you later."

"Then I want a princess dress!"

"Okay, uncle will buy it for you."

Song Xi immediately beamed with joy: "Uncle is the best!"

The rattling footsteps achieved their goal, and the little girl ran away.

Song Nuo sighed: "Luo Luo, you've spoiled her too much, you spoil her every time she wants anything."

An Luo: "Children have everything they want, and it's okay for a girl to be petted."

Besides, they set up a family, after all, they are sorry for the child.

He can only do his best to make up for Xixi's childhood.

"Children grow up pampered in a loving family, so they won't be cheated by naughty men in the future!"

An Luo took another bite of the chicken wing.

"how about you?"

An Luo: "Huh?"

Song Nuo: "Who will pamper you?"

An Luo was taken aback for a moment, and murmured: "It's okay, I'm not a child anymore."

Song Nuo was silent.

From the first day he met An Luo, An Luo was just a child in his eyes.

He is like a delicate flower that has not experienced wind and rain and has been kept in the greenhouse of Anjia.

It was so precious and beautiful that Song Nuo couldn't bear to see An Luo get hurt or suffer a little bit.

Every time he thought of what An Luo had experienced in these years, his heart would always throb and ache.

He hoped that An Luo would always be the child who could eat candy, carefree, but the reality is that An Luo stumbled like this, and grew up slowly during these five years.

……

After hanging up the phone, An Luo put the unfinished barbecue into the refrigerator.

The refrigerator is a bit old, and he bought it for 100 yuan in the second-hand market.

There is no bathroom in his rental house, and he has to go to a public bathhouse several hundred meters away to take a shower. An Luo is not used to going to that kind of place, so he either chooses to go when there are few people, or just wipes his body with a towel at home.

After a brief wash, An Luo jumped onto the bed and got into the quilt.

He was really sleepy after a busy night yesterday.

He wasn't dreaming, and when he woke up again, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

An Luo rubbed his eyes, and took out his phone from under the pillow.

There was only one text message in it.

It was from Song Nuo.

Ask him about what time he will be there, and if you want to pick him up by yourself.

An Luo just remembered that he promised Song Nuo that he would go to see Xixi today.

He got up quickly, rummaged through the closet, and finally found a set of clothes that he could still see, and put them on.

After 15 minutes, An Luo left the rental house.

The heavy snow did not know when it had stopped.

When going to Song Nuo's house, An Luo usually doesn't ride a bike.

It's not because of Lu Yuan, but because Song Nuo knew that he was going to secretly stuff pocket money for himself again.

An Luo went to the side of the road to hail a taxi and asked the driver to take him to a nearby shopping mall.

After spending more than 500 yuan there, I bought a pink princess dress and a 500 yuan sweater for Song Nuo. An Luo got in the car again and rushed to Song Nuo's house.

Song Nuo now lives in an ordinary apartment with her daughter.

He bought the house with a loan last year. Although the area is not big and it is not a new house, it is a small home that the father and daughter finally got.

An Luo stepped forward to knock on the door, and soon there was the sound of a child running close.

As soon as the door opened, a little girl carved in pink and jade threw herself straight into An Luo's arms: "Uncle!"

An Luo bent down, picked up the little girl, and turned around twice: "Did you miss Uncle?"

"I miss you! Xixi thinks about Uncle every day!"

Song Nuo came out from the kitchen, looked at the two, and smiled helplessly: "She talks about you every day."

An Luo shook the princess dress in his hand: "I'm talking about the little skirt."

Xixi: "Skirt!"

An Luo handed the skirt to the little girl, and the little girl ran back to her bedroom immediately.

An Luo handed the remaining bag to Song Nuo: "This is for you."

Song Nuo looked at the things in the bag and frowned: "This is very expensive, didn't you tell me not to buy me a gift?"

An Luo was triumphant: "It's okay, I made a lot of money with Xing Xing recently."

Song Nuo: "The studio?"

Two years ago, An Luo told him that he and Xia Zhuxing opened a photography studio together.

In fact, in the past two years, An Luo has borne many of his family's expenses, especially Xixi, clothes, shoes, toys, snacks... Except for someone who sent them forcibly, the rest are almost all bought by An Luo. .

"It's not easy for you to start a business, so keep the money and spend it yourself."

An Luo smiled: "It's okay, it's because the studio opened so smoothly, there was no challenge at all, it was too boring, so we thought about opening a cat cafe to adjust it."

Song Nuo handed an orange to An Luo, "It's good that you two have your own arrangements, and I'll take Xixi to play some other day."

An Luo's fingers froze slightly for two seconds, and then quickly returned to normal. He broke off a piece of orange and stuffed it into his mouth: "...um."

Song Nuo's home is very warmly decorated, with a group photo of father and daughter hanging on the wall, Xixi's watercolors, flowers on the window sill, and little dolls that can be seen everywhere.

In the corner of the living room, An Luo saw a box.

He was thrown there casually by Song Nuo, looking at the words on the box, it seemed to be a children's bicycle.

An Luo recognized that brand, and it was very expensive.

An Luo reacted instantly: "That...is it from my second brother?"

Song Nuo took a look, and immediately frowned: "Well...he always comes over recently, disturbing Xixi and me."

An Luo took another bite of the orange: "I'll scold him for you when I go back."

Song Nuo couldn't help being amused: "Really?"

An Luo patted his chest: "Don't worry, wrap it on me."

After changing her skirt, Xixi ran to her father to ask for praise.

Song Nuo frowned and praised the little beauty.

Seeing Xixi bouncing around, An Luo suddenly remembered: "By the way, is Xixi going to elementary school soon?"

Song Nuo: "Well, September."

An Luo quickly took out a small cloth bag from his pocket. Inside the cloth bag were two bank cards. An Luo took out one with Song Xi's name on it and handed it to Song Nuo.

Song Nuo was taken aback.

An Luo: "Education funds for Xixi."

Song Nuo frowned, and quickly pushed the card back: "What are you doing? Xixi doesn't need much money to go to elementary school, and I also have savings."

An Luo insisted, "What's yours is yours, and this is mine. It's my wish as an uncle."

"no……"

An Luo directly stuffed the card into Song Nuo's hand, angrily: "If you don't accept it, I won't come to see you and Xixi in the future."

Song Nuo looked at the pink bank card and sighed helplessly: "When did you deposit the money?"

An Luo: "It didn't take long, it started three years ago, not much, just tens of thousands of dollars."

Song Nuo looked at An Luo's remaining card, "That... is for Lele?"

An Luo lowered his head and rubbed the card lightly with his fingers. On the blue card surface, the word Lele was written with a pen.

Song Nuo: "Their family probably won't take your money."

During the years An Huai was in prison, Lele was always raised by the Qi family.

The Qi family has long since changed the child's surname and first name, which can be regarded as completely drawing a line with the An family.

He once heard that An Huai went to the Qi family once, wanting to meet the child who was fused with his and Qi Tian's blood.

Lele, who is almost five years old, is already very sensible. I don't know if the Qi family has taught him something since he was a child. The little boy stood beside his grandparents and coldly told An Huai to go away. His father was already dead.

Over the years, the Qi family's hatred for the An family has not diminished at all.

Even An Luo had no chance to meet that child.

What's the point of him saving money for Lele?

Facing Song Nuo's troubled eyes, An Luo still said the same thing: "It's their business whether to accept it or not, and it's my uncle's business whether to give it or not."

This topic was too heavy, and Song Nuo didn't want An Luo to think of sad things, so he dragged him to the kitchen and beat him up.

"I'll make you ribs to eat."

An Luo squatted aside, helping Song Nuo peel potatoes.

As soon as Song Nuo lowered his head, he could see An Luo's hands covered with frostbite, and his nose was sore.

After dinner at Song Nuo's place, An Luo got up to leave.

After leaving Song Nuo's house, An Luo took a taxi and asked the driver to take him to An Mu's place.

It was Gu Yun who came to open the door.

"Lolo, why are you here?"

An Luo: "Brother Gu, is my brother there?"

"In the study."

An Luo said "thank you", then walked to the study.

An Mu was stacking up logs in the study. It seemed that five years hadn't left the slightest trace on him, but he was less irritable and more gentle and calm.

He was wearing a white shirt, and when he saw An Luo approaching, he immediately waved: "Luo Luo, you came just in time, I have something to do with you."

An Luo: "Huh?"

An Mu bent her lips: "I want to give this building block to Xixi. But Song Nuo's attitude towards me...you can give it to him for me."

An Luo whispered: "You shouldn't disturb them."

An Mu looked up, his expression changed: "I'm Xixi's father, I want to get closer to my daughter, is this called interruption?"

An Luo: "But Song Nuo doesn't like you always passing by."

An Mu suddenly became angry, and stood up from the chair. The movement of getting up was too big, and the building blocks fell all over the table.

"An Luo, you are my younger brother, and you have such a good relationship with Song Nuo, why can't you say a few words for me?"

An Luo was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

An Mu sat back on the chair again: "If you can't help me, then stop running to me all the time."

An Luo stood where he was, and after a long time, he gave a soft "hmm" and turned to leave.

Gu Yun hurriedly chased after him: "Luo Luo, your brother is in a bad mood recently, so don't take his words to heart."

An Luo smiled: "Well, I know."

The second brother has his own life and the things he cares about the most.

He understands everything.
