She's waiting for me there.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the bedroom windowsill, dyeing the room orange. The curtains flutter in the air, giving people an indescribable sense of peace.

Qingxue's eyelashes moved slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes, and saw a handsome face looking at her gently with a smile in his eyes.

She shrank back into his arms, running her fingers across his chest.

"Well - husband, you're awake. What time is it?" Qingxue asked lazily.

"It's almost 5 o'clock."

"Huh? It's so late. I promised to make lunch for you, but..."

Thinking of the craziness they had in the afternoon, she glared at Chen Yun shyly, full of charm.

Chen Yun slowly pulled back his arm, which had been pressed to numbness, and said jokingly, "That's what you asked for."

"Hey, you're still talking...Husband, what's wrong with your hand? Is it numb from me pressing on it?"

I saw that Chen Yun’s arm had turned an abnormal red color due to being pressed, and there were traces of hair on it.

I rubbed it for him distressedly: "Why don't you take it away? It's been crushed like this."

"It's okay, I was just afraid of waking you up." As he said that, he hugged Qingxue into his arms again.

Qingxue did not struggle, but responded to him, her heart deeply moved. She liked Chen Yun very much now. She could see that his tenderness was not fake, and his eyes were only focused on her.

However, this also made her more afraid, afraid that she would get it and then lose it, and that one day he would turn back to his original state.

So, now she only wants to satisfy all of Chen Yun's requirements and keep him firmly by her side.

At this time, Qingxue's cell phone rang. When she opened it, there was a message.

His expression changed slightly, he quickly turned off his phone and glanced at Chen Yun.

Chen Yun also noticed Qingxue's changes, but he was not worried. He was very confident in his wife's character and feelings.

"Hubby...can I discuss something with you?" The voice became timid and cautious again.

"Is it related to this message? Who sent it?"

Qingxue lowered her head, thinking about the words, and after a moment she whispered, "It was sent by Dad. You two should sit down and talk. Over the past few years, Dad didn't dare to call me. He always sent me messages asking about you, but... I didn't dare to tell you."

Hearing the word "father", Chen Yun was stunned, his pupils dilated instantly, his lips opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, then slowly closed them, opened again after a few seconds, and closed again.

Complex emotions spread in my heart, and a brief silence appeared in the bedroom.

Qingxue watched Chen Yun's every move nervously. She had tried to persuade the father and son several times, but he always scolded her.

One time, the father-in-law gave them some money. Qingxue took it and told Chen Yun about it, but she didn't expect to be beaten all over.

From then on, Qingxue didn't dare to interfere in the affairs of the father and son, let alone ask for money from her father-in-law. She just secretly reported to the old man that she was safe.

Although Chen Yun had changed and she hadn't taken action in the past few days, saying these words still consumed all her courage.

Seeing his current appearance, Qingxue was still uneasy and regretted saying those words.

"Is he... okay?"

Chen Yun took a few deep breaths and slowly calmed down.

Because of their mother's matter, the father and son have not been in contact for so many years. I believe the old man must be very regretful.

No matter what the crime was, the punishment over the years must have been enough. After being reborn, many things became less important to me, but I took feelings more seriously.

Seeing Chen Yun's gentle eyes, Qingxue's heart finally relaxed. She sat directly on his lap, put her arms around his neck, and rubbed his chest as if to please him.

"Honey, I was so scared. I thought you were angry again. Dad is in good health. Why don't we go see him when we have time?"

Chen Yun was distracted again. Qingxue's pretty face lay on his chest, rubbing slowly, as if trying to soothe the scars in his heart.

"Well, I'll listen to you. Let's go there someday when we have time."

After saying this, the resentment that had been accumulating in my heart for years dissipated a lot. I still have to be more open-minded about some things.

Now that I think about it, my mother’s death did have something to do with my father, but not a big one. I guess the old man has been living in self-blame all these years.

Qingxue jumped up excitedly: "Really, husband, have you thought it through? I'm resting the day after tomorrow, let's go together. Dad will probably be so happy that he can't sleep when he finds out."

Looking at Qingxue dancing with joy, Chen Yun felt even more touched. This silly girl always thought about him in everything. She had suffered so much over the years.

The two discussed what to buy. After listening to Qingxue's suggestion, Chen Yun understood more clearly. It seemed that she had been looking forward to the reconciliation between father and son for a long time. She must have thought about this scene more than once and even planned what she wanted to buy.

"Honey, I'm going to cook. Qing Ning will be back soon."

"You're back so early today. I'll go pick her up."

"I forgot to tell you that day students don't have to attend evening self-study classes. They will come back earlier in the future." Qingxue looked at Chen Yun apologetically.

Chen Yun patted her head gently twice and said with a smile: "Well, you cook. I'm going out now. I should still be in time."

......

Qing Ning stood at the school gate, watching the crowd around her gradually decrease. She looked around again with some disappointment, but did not find the figure that annoyed her.

She kicked the stone under her feet, and a trace of annoyance appeared on her pretty face.

Why wait for him? Can't you go home by yourself? It's not like you don't know the way home.

As the sun sets and the night deepens, a few sparrows alight on both sides of the quiet road, bending the branches.

Qing Ning walked forward slowly, looking in other directions from time to time, as if looking for something.

When passing the corner of the park, several people suddenly jumped out from the roadside. The leader was Li Na, who looked at Qing Ning with a malicious smile.

Seeing this scene, Qingning turned around and ran, but it was too late. There was a yellow-haired man standing behind her. He was drooling at Qingning's proud figure and pretty face.

"Li Na, is this the roasted food you mentioned? It's really top-notch. Haha, brother is going to try something new today." The yellow-haired man rubbed his hands, his eyes revealing an unconcealable desire.
