In the end, Lan Yu Feng left. Until that back completely disappeared in the elevator, Zi Ge still leaned against the door frame in a daze, lost in thought. Fingers, tentatively touched the still slightly swollen red lips, heart palpitations, still so obvious.
When I thought about the words I had just left behind before I left, I just felt my heart beating so hard that it almost leapt out of my chest.
Sitting in the car, Lan Yu Feng for a long time just holding the steering wheel, did not start the engine. Looking up, looking upstairs, the lights on that floor are still on.
The color of his eyes, slightly sunken.
Tonight he’s out of control …
I can’t believe he sank into that little woman’s not so skillful kiss, even, he really wanted her …
Frowning and looking somber, he started the engine and sped the car out of the neighborhood without further pause.
Drop the window and let the cool breeze come in and blow away his feelings that shouldn’t be there …
Zige lay alone on the sofa, firmly hugging the quilt, thinking of the fact that he had once slept here for a night as well, and thinking of his last ambiguous words, she only felt her face heating up and her heart beating faster.
Taking his cell phone, he looked at the time, a few minutes had passed from the time he left, by now, he should have arrived home, right?
She …
Shouldn’t we call him and say hi?
Ziggy had almost dialed the phone, but then, held it down. She turned on her side and exhaled heavily.
Tonight …
Lucky to have him, I guess!
Otherwise, with her sprained foot, I’m afraid she won’t be able to reach home tonight. And, alone with such a scene, I’m afraid she’ll just panic.
Having him there … yet inexplicably reassured her …
In the stillness of the night, he was sleepless.
Sitting against a floating window with his right leg straight and his left leg bent. Elbow resting on left knee, glass of whiskey in hand. In the other free hand, he plays with his cell phone.
The eyes, consciously or unconsciously, passed over the screen. There, however, was always a dark color.
That’s good!
It’s been almost an hour since I got home and the woman didn’t even call to say hi!
His eyes floated down, and he was a little manic in a rare way. Fingers jumped and pressed down a few numbers on the screen, but ultimately deleted them, only to fling the phone aside.
Again, no more attention.
Tonight, there had been enough out-of-control to no longer allow it!
Tilting his head back, he took the wine in his glass and drank it all.
The next day, when she woke up, her mother’s eyes were red and swollen like two walnuts, and she sat woodenly on the sofa early in the morning, a walking corpse that made Ziggy’s heart ache to death.
She didn’t dare ask any more questions, but just turned and went into the kitchen to get busy, poking her head out every now and then.
Meng Yuhui came into the kitchen, compared to earlier, the whole person is also depressed, the state is terrible. Out of this kind of thing, Zi Ge is not not blame his father, but, at the sight of this appearance, can not help but feel distressed, “Dad.”
She called out astringently.
“Leave everything, I’ll do it.” Meng Yuhui washed his hands as he hurried his daughter out of the kitchen. His voice was hoarse, without the usual clarity. And tangled face knots.
“No, I’m almost done.” She turned and skillfully chopped the mushrooms as she spoke to her father.
“Didn’t that young man come over last night? Why has he disappeared so early in the morning?”
“Oh … him, he left temporarily last night.”
“Oh.” Meng Yuhui paused for a moment and glanced at his daughter. In the kitchen, no one spoke for a while, and when Zige almost couldn’t stay up, she heard her father slowly open the end of the conversation, “Zige, are you complaining about dad?”
Ziggy’s grip on the chopper tightened slightly.
There was no way she could lie, “I just can’t figure it out. You know best how Mom treats you.”
At the mention of her poor mother and the thought of her heart breaking last night when she said she couldn’t live, Zige’s eyes reddened slightly. She lowered her head and only pretended to concentrate on chopping vegetables.
Meng Yu Hui also regretted, “Dad when it is really a moment of confusion … so many years did not do a little sorry your mom, sorry for you, who knows … even late in the day… …”
He shook his head painfully straight and sighed as he spoke.
Zige listened to her heart sigh, so she put down what she was doing and asked seriously, “Dad, what are you going to do now? Do you really want to have a child with that … outside?”
“Listen to your mom’s nonsense! I’m already so old, why should I have a child? I’m lucky to have you as my daughter.”
Put it this way …
The father cheated on his father simply because he couldn’t stand the temptation of the outside world?
Zige couldn’t tell what she felt in her heart, and ultimately just asked, “What are your plans now? You know mom’s nature, it has always been very proud …”
“After so many years with her, can I not be clear?” Meng Yuhui sighed, “I haven’t thought about getting a divorce, I just don’t know what she’s thinking now.”
“Mom is proud, but you are her heaven.”
Meng Yuhui’s eyes flickered as he turned his back and wiped his tears. Looking at that back, Zi Ge only felt her nose turn sour, and actually wondered how an originally successful marriage could have come to this point.
One had to pretend not to have seen his father’s vulnerability and make breakfast as if nothing had happened.
The father did not go out either, but stayed in the kitchen in silence. Apparently, he didn’t know how to go out and face his wife alone, let alone how to get along with a woman who was still angry and out of her mind.
A breakfast that was eaten with trepidation. Zige coaxed Mo Simin one by one, but Mo Simin only symbolically moved her chopsticks. Meng Yuhui would occasionally talk to Zi Ge, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was blocked back by Mo Simin or sneering goods mocking.
Eventually, Zi Ge was the only one left talking at the entire table, and the atmosphere was so dull that it was almost suffocating.
Meng Yuhui was ultimately impatient, put away the dishes and hurried to work. Fortunately, today is the night shift, so Zige stayed at home with her mother, she did not sit down much, said a few words and went back to her room to lie down.
All of a sudden, only Zige was left sitting alone in the sofa.
Staring blankly at the screen, she remembered that she hadn’t said hello to the kid when she came out last night, and she was afraid that he was now looking for himself everywhere. So, hurriedly pulling out her cell phone to dial back.
First thing in the morning, the little thing grabbed his eyebrows and went ‘da-da-da-da-da’ around each room in his slippers.
The servant who followed behind, called out repeatedly, “Young master, put your coat on first, you’ll catch a cold if you wear so little.”
The last time I had a fever, it really hurt the whole family a lot. If you catch a cold again, you will lose a few more pieces of flesh.
“I won’t catch a cold!” Little Bean opened a door and was a little upset to see it empty, “Where the hell is Mommy?”
“Early in the morning, what are you looking for?” Lan Yu Feng was fully dressed and came out of his room, and at a glance, he saw the child and the maid.
“Sir.” The maid hurriedly greeted. He only nodded slightly, his eyes falling on the child’s small face that was seized with an eyebrow.
“Daddy, Mommy is gone!” The little guy obviously had a psychological shadow because of the disappearance of his first mommy, and his trepidation at this moment was written all over his face.
Lan Yu Feng was very slightly upset. That woman’s appearance made this father, even more devoid of status.
“Mommy has something very important to do, went out to get busy and will be back soon.” Lan Yu Feng smoothly took the jacket from the maid and put it on for the child. He smacked of rarely doing this for a child, so his movements were not skillful. Little Douzi was made to gasp a little, his little face reddened, but he was still asking, “Soon when is it?”
Lan Yu Feng thought for a moment before saying, “Daddy isn’t really sure. Maybe … you can give her a call.”
That woman, it’s amazing that she hasn’t been half heard from until now.
Lan Yu Feng frowned, then he heard the housekeeper downstairs speak, “Young master, it’s a call from madam.”
“Mommy?”
“Uh-huh. Ma’am put the young master on the phone.” .
“I’ll be right down!” The little guy put on his clothes and ‘da da da da’ ran downstairs. The maids nervously followed behind, fearing that he would fall on his heels, “Little young master, you slow down!”
Lan Yu Feng was standing upstairs, propped up on the alabaster railing, watching the contented look of the child hugging the phone and making phone porridge.
Walking downstairs to come and dine, the child had also hung up the phone in contentment. Lan Yu Feng looked at the phone that had been put down, then looked at his own cell phone that still hadn’t moved, and frowned even deeper.
“Daddy, Mommy mentioned you oh.” The little guy climbed onto the chair at the table while talking to Lan Yu Feng.
“Hmm?” His expression, slightly brighter, was unaware of it. Just picking his breakfast out for Little Bean, he asked as if nothing had happened, “What did it say?”
“Let Little Bean say thank you for Mommy.” Little Bean cocked his little head and looked at Daddy with a curious look on his face and asked, “What does Mommy want to thank Daddy for?”
“Secret.” Lan Yu Feng couldn’t satisfy the child’s curiosity. Just for a moment it became a little unpleasant again.
This woman, when she wants to say thank you, she lets the child do it for her?
There is no sincerity.
Zige accompanied her mother and spent her free time lurking on the internet. Originally, she wanted to pick out a small gift for Lan Yu Feng as a thank you. However, he really didn’t seem to lack anything.
After looking around, I couldn’t find anything suitable. The sight, instead, paused on the movie tickets.
She froze for a moment. The image of watching a movie with him came to mind almost involuntarily. Movies, usually reserved for couples on dates, seemed a little inappropriate, she knew, but, for the life of her, she couldn’t help herself.
By the time she came back to her senses, the payment had already been electronically made. Staring blankly at the words ‘payment successful’, she smiled, a little sardonically. So what if she bought it? I’m afraid I wouldn’t dare to invite him myself.
Before Zige went to work, Meng Yuhui came back from work.
“Is it time to go to work?” Meng Yu Hui looked at the closed bedroom door before asking her daughter.
“Uh-huh. It’s almost time.” Ziggy looked down at the time and then worriedly at her mother’s room, “Dad, I’ll leave Mom to you, you … keep an eye on her.”
“Don’t worry, I know in my heart.” A layer of darkness and fatigue underneath Meng Yuhui’s eyes, “I’ll have a good talk with your mom tonight.”
“Then I’ll be back in the morning.”
“Okay, watch yourself, and put some medicine on that foot.”
“I know.”
After a few more words with his father, Zige hurried off with his bag. After the night, the twisted foot was almost healed, perhaps it was his medicinal wine that was effective.
Thinking of all the things that happened last night with Lan Yu Feng, the gloom in Zi Ge’s heart was only slightly washed away.
Tonight was a shift with Sujie. Zige played with the movie ticket in her hand, and was hesitating to ask Lan Yu Feng out when Su Jie came back from the ward just in time to catch her in the act.
“Coral of the Silent Sea.” Su Jie reached out and then snatched the ticket, lingered for a second, and then ambiguously glanced at Zi Ge, “Love blockbuster. Are you going to date a big star, or a big president?”
“Come on give it back.” Ziggy blushed and reached for it.
Suje hid behind her back, “Let me guess. Ko Hang-joon?”
“What am I asking him out for? Take him to the movies and not get buried by his fans.”
