“No? But didn’t Zoey say that only lovers can kiss each other? Just now Zoey didn’t hit Uncle, that means you like Uncle’s boop-boop!”
Zoey’s lips twitched. Do little kids have to be so logical and memorable?
“Today, it was just an accident, and you’d better forget it right away!”
“Was it really just an accident?” KK looked like he didn’t believe it. If he had known, he should have calmed down quickly just now and retreated to his room as if he hadn’t seen anything.
“Really.”
“Lying grows your nose.”
Zoey is really helpless. Why is this kid so hard to convince?
“Zoey , is Uncle going to stay with us for the next few days?” Luckily, KK seemed to see her embarrassment and didn’t dwell on the issue.
“Uh-huh. The environment here is so bad that Uncle might not be able to adapt, so from now on, they will all sleep in the villa like us.” Zoey said as she took a cup from the cupboard and washed it before pouring water and handing it to her son.
“Oh! This is great!” The little guy was so excited to be living with him that he gulped down a lot of water. He gulped down a lot of water and Zoey patted him on the back, “Don’t drink so fast, you’ll choke. Don’t drink any more, you’ll wet the bed if you drink too much.”
“Yes!” KK obediently handed back the cup. KK obediently handed the cup back, Zoey led him out from the kitchen again, Jerry Xiao was standing at the kitchen door. His deep eyes looked deeply at her, Zoey’s heart jumped and she immediately moved away from him.
Instead, he just glanced at it and had moved away quickly. Bending down, he took KK in his arms.
“Uncle! It really seems like a dream to see you when I open my eyes!” KK wrapped her arms around his neck and giggled.
“I’d be happier if you could wake up again in the morning, I think.” He said seriously. Did he have to be this serious to talk to a child about something like this? Zoey, who was following behind , could hardly find a hole to bury herself in.
KK covered her small mouth and snickered, picking at his ear and talking, not too loud, but she could still hear him clearly too.
“KK will go to sleep soon, Uncle can continue Oh! KK promise, Uncle will see me again, it must be tomorrow morning!”
“You’re really good!” He actually did look appreciative. Zoey was really going crazy from their father and son. She stared mournfully at his back, how could he talk to his child about this at such a young age? Are you sure you won’t have precocious puberty in the future? It’s really bad!
…
Jerry Xiao carried the baby into the room and gently put KK on the bed, Zoey followed and carefully pulled the quilt over the little one and covered him up. When Nini kicked the quilt, she hurriedly wrapped it firmly around both of them, and tucked the quilt in uneasily.
“Good night, fall asleep quickly.” Zoey planted a kiss on KK’s lips.
“Good night, Zoey .” He grinned wickedly, “Boo-hoo smells like an uncle!”
Oh, my God! She really doesn’t want to live! To actually be made fun of by a child! She punitively slapped the little one on the forehead, “If you talk too much again, go back and copy the kanji!”
KK covered her small mouth in fear, signaling her silence.
Zoey, now satisfied, gets up and prepares to go out. When she turned her head, she met Jerry Xiao’s expression. Zoey’s heart was beating very fast, her face was like fire, she didn’t dare to say anything, she walked out quickly. Jerry Xiao lowered his head and kissed the child’s head, then secretly reflected a kiss on VIIV’s face. KK said: “Uncle, you have to take care of Zoey early, Nini and I will support you. ”
Looking at the child’s encouraging look, Jerry Xiao’s heart moved, moved to look at the child, spoke softly, “If … there is a day when Uncle is going to be your daddy, will you be happy?”
“Of course I’m happy!” The little guy’s eyes were bright, adorned with an innocent smile, “Don’t have to wait for one day, KK wants Uncle to be our daddy now!”
At the bottom of his heart, a thick stream of warmth flowed, Jerry Xiao felt that he had never been so satisfied. This kind of satisfaction is a kind of feeling that can’t be obtained even if you hold the whole world in your hands.
Laughing away, he dotedly patted the child’s small face and gently coaxed gently, “Go to sleep, it’s getting late.”
“Uh-huh! Good night, Uncle!” KK answered crisply, with a smile, closing her eyes in a contented sleep.
Jerry Xiao turned off the bedside lamps for the children before turning to go out. Zoey was just walking to her bedroom when he took a step up and dragged her by the elbow with his big palm, breaking her over. Zoey turned around and met those midnight deep pupils.
====
“Zoey …,” he called her name in a deep, husky voice halfway through the day.
“Don’t be like this …” The drooping eyelashes trembled badly, her heart, unprecedentedly messy. Hand tightly grasping the cold door handle behind her, voice a little trembling, “I go in first, you also go to bed early …”
With that, he twisted the lock on the door and turned to go inside.
“Zoey!” He stepped forward in a hurry, again to pull her. But she has already pushed open the door in a hurry, Jerry Xiao reached out to grab her hand, frozen in the air, palm, an empty …
Her whole half had retreated into the room, her eyes looking up at him, a little disorganized.
And her … heart at the moment, as messy …
The bottom of the heart, flooded with a circle of hardship. Jerry Xiao just like this bent his head to look at her, half … time he slowly put away his hand, tucked into his pants pocket. Eyes sullenly looking at her, even that light can not hide the despondency and grayness in the bottom of his eyes.
“Then … sleep.” He said.
Zoey felt a tightening of the heart, but she couldn’t allow herself to sink any lower. She glanced at him hastily and closed the door quickly.
The door, just like that, was closed.
She leaned against the door panel, panting heavily, and closed her eyes, as if his scent was still wafting around her, leaving her in complete disarray …
Wasn’t it no longer affected by him? Why is this happening now?
This really sucks!
She crouched down, depressed, and buried her face deep into her palm.
…
Outside the door, Jerry Xiao stared sullenly at the heavy door for a long, long time before finally turning around and leaving.
Jerry Xiao felt a tickle between his noses as he drifted off to sleep, and he sniffed, smelling the lemony scent of children’s hair. He smiled, and with an arm, he scooped the two little ones into bed. Nini and KK giggled in his ears, which made him feel much better.
“Uncle, the sun’s going to be on your ass if you don’t wake up!” Nini grabbed a handful of hair tips to tickle the tip of his nose.
KK was lying on the big bed, squinting, “Zoey told us to get Uncle up for breakfast.”
Jerry Xiao was in a soothing mood and stretched lazily, “Is she awake already?” . “Woke up long ago, even breakfast is ready!” Nini replied.
Jerry Xiao half sat up, rubbed a head of disheveled hair and looked at them with a smile, “Looks like Uncle is the laziest of them all. You guys go ahead and eat, Uncle will wash up and come out right away.”
“Good.” The two children answered crisply and obediently climbed down from the bed, trotting out with a leap of faith. Jerry Xiao looked at the two with a smile before lifting the covers off the bed and heading towards the washroom.
Perhaps it was because of the onset of the disease last night, after sleeping all night, he was still a bit tired. He slapped his face with cold water to revitalize himself before walking out.
…
When he arrived at the restaurant, he saw only two children sitting in large reclining chairs, wiggling their legs, waiting for him. He looked around and couldn’t find Zoey anywhere.
Where did she go?
“Is Zoey not here?” Jerry Xiao asked the kids as he sat down.
“Just sit down for breakfast and go. Just called back and told us to wake up Uncle!” KK replied.
“Well! Zoey also said that an uncle will come later to pick up Uncle to do his work.” Nini followed in response.
She left early? Why didn’t she ask him to join her? Besides, didn’t she say she didn’t have work in the morning, so why did she run over there early in the morning?
He, the only possibility he could think of, was – she was hiding from herself.
Loss, little by little, welled up. He, in turn, seemed to be doing something even more wrong …
“Uncle, aren’t you happy?” KK blinked her childish eyes at him.
“Uncle, eat this, Zoey made it herself, it’s delicious!” Nini brought the beef curry and rice to him.
Looking at the two children, he smiled.
What God has given him has really been much, much more, and he’s still depressed today, so he doesn’t know how to cherish it.
“Uncle isn’t unhappy. It’s time to taste Zoey’s handiwork and see if it’s improved or not.” He purposely raised his voice and looked at the two children with a smile, picking up the cutlery and banging it, “I’m going to start!”
The two kids cheered up as well, lifting their knives and forks in their hands as he did and tapping them against each other, “We’re going to start too!”
…
Jerry Xiao spent the morning playing with the children. The children were very happy, pulling him outside to play in the sand, picking desert roses, a large and two small play a lot of fun. The time passed quickly, until the afternoon, Ah Feng came to pick him up, the two children obediently stayed in the villa, repeatedly guaranteeing that they will never run around, Jerry Xiao and Ah Feng with peace of mind to leave.
When we arrived at the base, Zoey was inspecting the construction of the base with a large group of staff, and she was in charge of explaining in various languages. Seeing Jerry Xiao coming over, everyone stopped and greeted him. He nodded his head lightly as a response. Zoey froze for a moment and lowered her eyes.
The group was busy, with Jerry Xiao walking side by side with the head of the base, and Zoey a step behind as a temporary interpreter.
“What did he say?” After a long string of words, Jerry Xiao leaned his face slightly toward Zoey. They were very close, the breath swept over, Zoey’s hand holding the pen was a little unsteady. Zoey subconsciously retreated an inch and glanced at him, he looked at her with a smile on his face, “What did you say? You know, I don’t understand a word.”
“Over there is a liquid natural gas ship, which is used in the past to send liquid natural gas to other bases. Here, over there … storage tanks, evaporation equipment. The area in the back is the newly taken down mining base from the government approval – that is, the cooperation base between MY Group and our company. It’s going to be a bit more complicated technically, so you need to be mentally prepared.”
