ruthless here

It seems that knowing that day really frightened me. After that, Yang Congbai behaved very calmly and looked like a gentleman.

But something has changed.

This made it difficult for me to adapt for a while.I reflected on myself, as if I hadn't promised him anything serious, right?

……should not!

But obviously Yang Congbai didn't think so.

He had already given up the single sofa in the corner of the living room to Mao Mao.I was sitting on the floor playing Lego with the kiddos, and he was right behind me on the couch with nothing in his hand, not even turning on the TV.

Of course I knew what he was looking at.

With a thorn in my back, I finally couldn't help turning around and asking him, "Can't you find something to do yourself?"

He blinked, "I didn't hinder you."

"...you make me uncomfortable!"

"How do you know I'm looking at you?"

"I have eyes in the back of my head, okay?! Find something to do yourself!?"

He thought for a while, "Then I see Keke and Yoyo going?"

"..."

I stood up and walked over to try to chase him away, but just as I got closer, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled me away.I lost my footing and fell down on the sofa.The little devils laughed at my funny appearance, I got up so angry that I wanted to beat him, but he was innocent.

"Let me find something else to do."

"you?!"

I reached out to flick his forehead, but he reacted quickly, grabbing my wrist and refusing to let it go.For a while, it was evenly matched, and it was hard to tell the winner. The little ghosts shouted "Come on, Dad!" The scene was really lively.I tried my best, but I couldn't make trouble with him. Seeing that I was about to lose the wind, I was in a hurry.

"You let me play it! Otherwise I'll go home!"

This sentence is like a spell, and it will take effect immediately.He let go, seeing that I really didn't intend to back down, so he closed his eyes, "Okay then."

... Damn, his eyelashes are really long!

The little ghosts held their breath and waited to see my "fatal blow", but I couldn't do it anyway.

"Hurry up." He urged me.

I just looked at him like this, and what I saw was that winter day full of snow.He was waiting at the gate of the community, and I foolishly ran over to him and asked him, "Brother, are you waiting for takeaway?" He lowered his head and smiled, snowflakes fell on his long eyelashes, gentle and translucent, but he didn't answer.

I suddenly wanted to kiss him.

He seemed to notice something and opened his eyes to see me.

"Ah! Dad opened his eyes!"

"Father, hurry up!"

I ruffled his hair, got up and left.

Ever since I started to take Yang Congbai's car to work, Hao Meng and the others had to find some excuses to mention Dr. Yang every day, and I, of course, became more and more calm.

After all, everyone has a gossip heart, life is already so difficult, how can you live without having some fun?

And I'm very conscious.Handsome guy, it's also appropriate to let the masses gossip.

"Manager Yu," Hao Meng asked me as soon as he came in in the morning, "it's the doctor who came to see you before, not Dr. Yang's..."

"Su Zhe?"

"Ah, yes! Doctor Su! I saw him at the bus station this morning!"

"Did you see him?"

I'm a little surprised, Su Zhe usually drives to work.His home is far away, the subway has to change lines twice, but there are direct buses, but he especially doesn't like to squeeze the bus, as long as he doesn't drive, he must take a taxi.Yang Congbai also said to him that if he had the money to take a taxi, he might as well buy a house closer to him.

"Yeah, I'm surprised too, I've never seen him before."

As Hao Meng said, he took a sneaky look at the door.There were only the two of us in the room, she asked in a low voice, "Manager Yu, does Dr. Su have a girlfriend?"

I was so excited that I almost spilled the coffee in my hand.

"You are very courageous, you dare to fight his idea?"

"What?!" Hao Meng yelled, "I mean, did he not come home yesterday? I didn't have any idea about him! Doctor Su is not my cup of handsome ascetics! "

I was like a thunderbolt, and I was petrified on the spot.

Hao Meng must not know how scary these two sentences she said are, and each sentence is scarier than the other!Where did Su Zhe get such a girlfriend?He doesn't come home at night?Do not make jokes!Immediately afterwards, I sent Yang Congbai the matter that Hao Meng said that Su Zhe was a "beautiful man of the abstinence system". Also died.It was not until noon that Yang Congbai wrote back and said, "We have circulated it through the whole department. These five words are enough for us to laugh for a year."

I didn't expect that I was not benevolent, and Yang Congbai was not righteous.

But Dr. Su also wants face!

I hastily sent a message to the person concerned, "Brother is not strict with his orders, and it would be offensive if he speaks rudely, I hope brother Haihan!"

Su Zhe replied quickly, "I really hurt you for nothing."

I probably read the plaintiveness in his tone, I had a very happy day.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising that Hao Meng would make such a shocking evaluation of Su Zhe.After all, she had no contact with Su Zhe, and if she didn't know him well, she would be easily deceived by his appearance.This is the same as those interns who handed him love letters one after another.

I suddenly wanted to gossip with Yang Congbai about Su Zhe's personal problems.Since Su Zhe knew all about Yang Congbai, Yang Congbai must also know about Su Zhe.

No, I must ask him when I get home at night!

Today, Aunt Fang helped to pick up the children, and I was in charge of cooking.Yang Congbai said he wanted him to eat spicy hot pot, but I...of course I had no choice but to make it for him.I headed straight to the supermarket after get off work, figuring I'd have to make two.He likes to eat spicy food, but my child and I can't eat it. It's hard to make it once, and I don't want to wrong him...

I picked out the dishes and was about to check out when I received a call from him.

"Are you home yet?"

"not yet."

"Then you go home and wait for me."

I agreed, and felt that what he said was a bit strange, "Then when will you come back?"

There was a pause, "Don't worry."

"I'm not in a hurry, I'll just ask. I'm shopping for vegetables in the supermarket..."

"..."

I suddenly had a bad feeling.

"what happened to you?"

"Yu Fei, calm down, listen to me...you're gone."

I was completely dumbfounded.

Yang Congbai said that when Aunt Fang went to pick up her child from the kindergarten, Ke Ke pointed at a woman wearing a headscarf from afar and said that was her mother.Aunt Fang also saw it, the back was indeed a bit similar, but she was obviously shorter, so she told Ke Ke that it was not.Aunt Fang put the schoolbags of the two children on the co-pilot, and within a turn of her body, Keke disappeared.

"Already called the police. Aunt Fang needs to cooperate with the police, and Yoyo has already been picked up by her sister-in-law. Yu Fei, you go home and take care of Yoyo first. The child can't run very far, and Keke will be back soon."

"..."

I was extremely shocked, but also extremely calm.It was because of his calmness that he made every sentence clear without leaving me any room to panic.

"Yu Fei?"

I finally came back to my senses, "Where are you? I'll go find her with you!"

"I'm at the police station, and my brother is here too. We're going out soon, can you go home and wait for me first? Yoyo is really scared."

"..."

It's hard for me to express how I feel.

I'm Coco's dad, but now, he needs me to take a step back.

Hanging up the phone, I put down the things in my hand and took a taxi home. The moment I closed the car door, I cried unbearably.

Ke Ke went to find "Mom".

Regret and self-blame even surpassed the urgency and anxiety I should have at this time.

It's not that I didn't realize it. I was even discussing this matter with him two days ago, but it was too late.

Yang Congbai must find her.

Otherwise I couldn't forgive myself, and I couldn't forgive him either.

When I entered the door, Xiaocheng ran out to greet me, and Sister Li sat on the sofa and hugged Yoyo.Yoyo had already cried, and when she saw me, she cried again.

"Dad, are you gone..."

Sister Li quickly handed Yoyo to me, "Hurry up and coax her."

"Father," Yoyo put her arms around my neck, tears streaming down like broken threads, "I'm helping Grandma Fang with her schoolbag...I didn't see Keke."

"Don't blame Yoyo, it's not Yoyo's fault..."

I held Yoyo tightly in my arms, and then Sister Li cried too.Xiao Cheng came over with several boxes of tissues and gave each of us a box. He was actually the calmest one here.

I wiped the tears off Yoyo's face, "Ke Ke will come back. Your Uncle Yang is looking for him, and the police uncle is also looking for her..."

"And my father is also looking for it!" Xiaocheng said loudly.

"Yes, and Xiaocheng's father. They will definitely get Keke back."

I let Yoyo believe, and I also let myself believe.

"Fortunately, Yang Xun came back from a business trip today," Sister Li seemed to be talking to herself, and seemed to be comforting me, "It's not easy for them to find a child... Besides, there are surveillance everywhere now, and it's not a remote place , so many people, someone must have seen it... Yu Fei, don't be afraid."

Of course I'm afraid.

But she told me not to be afraid.

She was the aunt who watched Coco grow up, and I was just a borrowed tenant.At most, he is Yang Congbai's friend and Yoyo's father.

"Yu Fei, don't blame him."

"Miss Li..."

"We already know."

"..."

"That is, two days ago, he came home from get off work late and told us... We were all dumbfounded." She paused, and then said, "But Dad doesn't know yet, so we can't let Dad know about this."

Xiaocheng was very puzzled, "Mom, grandpa already knew, didn't dad call and tell grandpa just now, saying that Ke Ke got lost."

"Kids, don't interrupt."

"Mom, look at you again..."

I couldn't make an appropriate response, nod my head, or say yes.

I do not know what to say.

"I know you are anxious, but he is already anxious enough, don't let him mess up... Yu Fei, did you hear me?" Sister Li patted my arm, "You have to hold on! "

But something seems to separate me from this world.

I felt like I was back in that sunless living room in Chicago.Those fears, sorrows, and deep regrets, like a thick wall.

"You should say something!" Sister Li was really anxious, "Can you comfort me too?!"

Xiao Cheng gently put his hand on Sister Li's shoulder.

I have to find her.

"Sister Li, you and Xiao Cheng are here to watch the house first." I asked Yoyo in my arms again, "Dad is going to find Ke Ke, are you waiting at home or go with Dad?"

Without hesitation, he said, "I'm with Dad!"

I guess so.

Bringing Yoyo is definitely not helping, and even I myself may not be able to help.

But I can't wait any longer.

I hastily comforted Sister Li, walked to the entrance with Youyou in my arms, and the phone rang.

It was Yang Congbai.

I clenched my phone tightly, as if I clenched my destiny.

"Coco found it."

His tone was calm, making people unable to read sadness and joy.

"Coco said he wants to eat KFC, you can call and ask for it."

It was at this moment that I relaxed and almost threw Yoyo to the ground.

Coco had fallen asleep when she came back.The table was full of takeaways, but none of us adults had any appetite.When Xiaocheng’s family left, I wanted to bring them some, but Sister Li secretly told me that Yang Xun would not let children eat junk food, so I had no choice but to give up.

Yang Xun seemed to have something to say to me, he hesitated to speak several times, until they left, he did not speak.

"Have you eaten yet?" Yang Congbai asked me.

"……not yet."

"Then I'll cook some noodles."

I went to settle down and fell asleep, and then quietly went to see Keke.Her face was still smudged, her hair was disheveled, and her braids were messy. She really looked like she had just been picked up.

Yang Congbai said that Ke Ke met a kind passerby, and he heard that the parents were doctors from the affiliated hospital, so he sent Ke Ke to the hospital.Su Zhe happened to be there at the time, and Ke Ke's braid was his masterpiece...how can I put it, Su Zhe's hands are so good at surgery, but the pigtail is too amateurish...

I gently touched Ke Ke's face, her miserable appearance was a bit funny, I wanted to laugh, but my eyes were hot.

I secretly kissed her.

Yang Congbai came over and called me, saying that the noodles were ready.We sat opposite each other in the restaurant and ate the noodles he cooked together.I listened to him talk about those trivial details, and I kept asking him, and he patiently answered them one by one.He said that fortunately it is a prosperous area with a lot of surveillance; he said that he wanted to thank the kind passer-by, but the other party did not leave any contact information; Come down; he also said that Aunt Fang was really terrified, and never mention this matter in front of her in the future...

He spoke very flatly.Those soul-stirring things, he just narrated them in a straightforward way.He neither mentioned his emotions nor asked me how I felt.As if as soon as we finish eating the noodles in front of us, all this will pass.

It was he who finished eating first.

"I'm a little tired, I'm going to take a shower first."

He stood up and walked away.

I ate the rest of the noodles by myself, and then went to clean up the kitchen.

It is really a blessing and a great destiny to have a surprise without danger.

Anyway, today is finally over.I took the changed clothes to wash, and when I passed the bathroom, I felt a little strange.

The lights were on, the door was closed, and there was no change of clothes outside, it was too quiet inside.

I stopped and listened carefully, and vaguely heard crying inside, suppressed and not very clear.

"Are you in there?"

Without waiting for an answer, I hesitated and pushed open the bathroom door.

There was a Yang Congbai that I had never seen before.

He sat on the edge of the bathtub, tear-stained, like a defeated beast.

He looks up at me.

We were separated by a short distance, just looking at each other like this, and then I cried too.

I walked over and he put his arms around me and buried his face in my chest.

He finally burst into tears.

This is our survival and the rest of our lives.

He struggled through his sobs and said, "You believe me...it won't happen again."

"...Of course I believe you."

I stroked his hair, wondering if this word of belief could really comfort him.

"...You asked me to take her to see Wu Yitong, but I was afraid...I was afraid that she would take Keke away...just like she took you away back then."

"No." I wanted to try my best to wipe the tears off his face, but I just let my tears fall and fall on his hair. "She already has her own family, she won't bother us anymore..."

"...But I thought again, you are Ke Ke's father. Maybe it's right for you to take Ke Ke away."

"I won't take Keke away." I held his face in my hands, looking at his red eyes, "Yang Congbai, I won't leave."

He stared at me blankly.

"Yang Congbai..." There are so many things I want to say, and I can talk for a long time.But I want to speak to him slowly, when he is not so sad.And now, I just want to tell him the most important thing. "I want to raise the children with you...and then you will live a long life, send me away first."

This must be the most important thing.

He stood up and hugged me tightly in his arms.

It seems that all these years of grievances, sadness, and not being able to ask for anything, along with his tears, and my tears, finally flowed away.

Afterwards we were all tired from crying.

I asked him to take a bath and rest early, and I sat alone in the living room for a while.I found a tiny sock on the sofa, lonely but cute.I don't know if it was Coco or Yoyo who dropped it, but they always wear the wrong clothes recently.

Yang Congbai said that he would come to deal with the aftermath, he would teach Ke Ke not to run around, and he would make her remember to wear her GPS watch at all times... just leave it to him, and he will definitely do well.

I went to put a tub of hot water to relieve my fatigue today, but I fell asleep almost as soon as I entered.
