Dad is here

Chapter 22 I talked to Uncle Weird.

Mu Xiaotao lay on You Xinyang's shoulder, quietly looking behind him.

From just now, the uncle in white clothes followed them. Mom and Uncle Xinyang walked fast, and that uncle also walked fast. If they walked slowly, that uncle also slowed down. He never stopped. Follow them from a distance, with a poker face.

Mu Xiaotao remembered this uncle, he had come to the house, hugged and kissed her mother.He also gave her a learning machine. When she got home that day, Mu Xiaotao curiously opened the box, but her grandfather snatched the box away.Later, she saw that the gift bag was placed on a high cabinet, and she couldn't reach it even on tiptoe, so she could only say to herself: "It's for me."

Mu Xiaotao felt that she had met that uncle many times, and she had a subtle feeling for him. Mom kissed him, did she want him to be her new father?What about Uncle Xinyang?Last time, my mother said that she would let Uncle Xinyang be her new father.

Mu Xiaotao was very distressed. These days, this strange uncle always quietly appeared around her. She never told her grandpa and mother, because she thought it was a big secret and wanted to keep it in her heart.

In fact, this uncle is very good-looking, with white skin, black hair, red lips, and bright eyes, like Princess Jasmine in cartoons.

Hey, Princess Jasmine is a girl!Mu Xiaotao couldn't figure it out. Looking at Xu Luofeng's figure, she wondered why he was so fierce.Why doesn't he smile?Princess Jasmine looks pretty when she smiles, and this uncle should also look pretty when he smiles.

what!He was looking at her again!

Mu Xiaotao shrank into You Xinyang's arms, then slowly poked her head out, revealing her two eyes to stare at Xu Luofeng.

A strange feeling flashed in Xu Luofeng's heart, he looked at Mu Xiaotao from a distance, he smiled lightly, Mu Xiaotao's eyes widened all of a sudden, after a while, she blinked and smiled at him up.

Her mother taught her to be polite to people.

You Xinyang hugged Mu Xiaotao and caught up with the big team. Because there were so many children, it was impossible to get to the top in one go. When everyone was resting on a platform, Mu Xiaotao found Huang Mengmeng, and the two little girls played happily.

Mu Fengying sat with You Xinyang, and she took out a drink and handed it to You Xinyang.

After drinking water, she took a look at the way back and forth, and could vaguely see the white figure standing at the corner of the stone steps leaning on the fence and looking into the distance.

Because of meeting Xu Luofeng, it seemed that Mu Fengying and You Xinyang could no longer find the happy way of getting along with each other before. Seeing that Mu Fengying was gloomy, You Xinyang asked, "Unhappy?"

"Ah, no." Mu Fengying took another sip of water, "I don't know why he is here."

You Xinyang also looked back and forth, and said, "Yingying, it's not an option to go on like this, you have to make it clear to him."

Mu Fengying was very helpless: "I have told him many times, but he won't listen. What can I do?"

At this time, Xu Luofeng also came to this platform. He glanced at Mu Fengying and You Xinyang, turned around and went to the canteen to buy a bottle of water, and then walked to a stone bench to sit down.

He was about to sit down, but he suddenly stood up straight again, bent over and reached out to touch the stool, looked at his fingertips, then frowned, then took out a pack of tissues from his trouser pocket, and took out two Zhang wiped the stone bench vigorously before sitting down again.

The mouthful of water that Mu Fengying held in her mouth almost spit out.She was surprised to find that she had been paying attention to Xu Luofeng's every move.She turned her head to look at You Xinyang with a guilty conscience. He was drinking a drink with his neck up, and he didn't seem to pay attention to her.

Mu Fengying was relieved, and glanced at Xu Luofeng without a trace. He was also drinking water. When he put down the bottle, he suddenly looked at her. His cold gaze caught Mu Fengying by surprise, and she quickly lowered her head. Head, pretending to watch the ants move.

Xu Luofeng was depressed.

After seeing You Xinyang, according to his original temper, he would never go up the mountain, but he remembered what Mu Yang said to him.

"When a man chases his wife, he has to be bold, careful and thick-skinned. If you don't spend time, do you still want Yingying to come to you on her own initiative? If she was willing to look for you, she would have done so long ago! She won't keep hiding from you. So If you want to marry Yingying home, you have to take the initiative!"

Xu Luofeng knew that what Mu Yang said was the truth, although this "activeness" was really not in line with his style of doing things, Xu Dashao had never taken the initiative to chase girls in his life, but it was different now, there was another Mu Xiaotao beside Mu Fengying !

Xu Luofeng gritted his teeth, and for the first time in his life he was so humble, he followed them up the mountain.

Mu Xiaotao and a few children were playing games in the open space. The children played with whatever they picked. Branches, small stones, and Coke bottles were all good toys in their hands.Several children were chasing and beating around with twigs. Mu Xiaotao turned around and suddenly saw Xu Luofeng sitting there.

Huh?It's that uncle again.

She felt that the twig in her hand had lost its appeal, so she simply stopped and looked at him curiously.

Xu Luofeng naturally saw her, but he didn't call her, because Mu Xiaotao was within Mu Fengying's sight, and also because Xu Luofeng felt that Mu Xiaotao was a little afraid of him.

He smiled at her, Mu Xiaotao was stunned, turned around and ran to Huang Mengmeng's side, after pretending to say a few words to her, she turned her head to look at Xu Luofeng quietly again.

Xu Luofeng beckoned to her, Mu Xiaotao blinked her eyes, turned to look at Mu Fengying, and found that her mother didn't seem to notice her, she was a little more courageous, and moved slowly to Xu Luofeng's side.

Xu Luofeng watched her approaching with some amusement. Mu Xiaotao had two braids on her head, and her little face was rosy from running for a while, like a juicy peach.

Both Mu Fengying and You Xinyang saw Mu Xiaotao approaching Xu Luofeng, and You Xinyang asked her, "Do you want me to bring Xiaotao back?"

Mu Fengying thought for a while, then shook her head: "Forget it, let them talk."

"Aren't you afraid that he will tell Xiaotao the truth?"

"Xiaotao is so small, he knows it will scare her." Mu Fengying smiled, "Xu Luofeng is not stupid."

You Xinyang looked at her and said nothing.

On the other side, Mu Xiaotao had already moved to Xu Luofeng's side. She was lying on the stone bench, looking up at him with her little butt pouted.

Xu Luofeng had never smiled for such a long time before, but at this moment he kept smiling and tried his best to be amiable.

"Xiao Tao." He called her.

Mu Xiaotao rolled her eyes, her small mouth pouts, and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm...your mother's friend." Xu Luofeng said softly, "We've met several times, have you forgotten?"

Mu Xiaotao shook her head: "I haven't forgotten."

She came close to Xu Luofeng's side, lowered her head to play with the twigs in her hand, tore off the leaves one by one, and looked up at Xu Luofeng from time to time.

Xu Luofeng's experience in communicating with children was almost zero, so he didn't know what to say at this time, but Mu Xiaotao found a topic after playing for a while.

"Will you be my new dad?" she asked.

Xu Luofeng didn't know why the child would suddenly ask this question. Thinking carefully, she probably remembered the last time he kissed Mu Fengying. He asked back, "Do you want me to be your new father?"

Mu Xiaotao answered him very simply: "I don't want to."

Young Master Xu was so depressed, but he didn't have a good face, and asked, "Why?"

Mu Xiaotao hesitated and said, "Because, because, I have a new father."

Xu Luofeng asked calmly: "Is that the uncle who hugged you just now? Do you like him?"

Mu Xiaotao nodded: "I like it."

"Then why don't you like me?"

"..." Mu Xiaotao was confused, she looked up at Xu Luofeng, held back for a long time, then pulled the leaf in her hand, and said angrily, "I just like Uncle Xinyang."

Xu Luofeng was silent for a long time, and asked a question he had always wanted to ask: "Xiao Tao, where is your father?"

Mu Xiaotao looked at him blankly.

"I mean, your own father."

"My dear father..." Mu Xiaotao repeated, "Is it the old father?"

"Yes, old father." Xu Luofeng asked patiently, "Did your mother tell you why he is not by your side?"

Mu Xiaotao lowered her head even more, and the leaves on the branches had been ripped off by her. She held up the bare branches and waved them for a while, and said, "The old father is here, far, far, far away, working ..."

Having said that, Mu Xiaotao turned her head to look at Mu Fengying, and suddenly leaned into Xu Luofeng's ear and whispered, "I know mom lied to me."

"Oh? How did she lie to you?"

Mu Xiaotao pursed her lips and smiled, and briskly gave Xu Luofeng an answer: "The old father is dead, and he is in heaven."

After she finished speaking, she ran back to Mu Fengying's side, still with an innocent face and an incomparably bright smile.

Mu Xiaotao was hungry, and asked Mu Fengying for beef jerky. After getting a few, she ran to Huang Mengmeng, and gave each of Mengmeng and several other friends a piece of beef jerky.When there were two more in her hand, she turned her head to look at Xu Luofeng, ran to his side again, and handed a piece of beef jerky in front of him.

"I'll give you some meat."

Mu Xiaotao was grinning, Xu Luofeng took the beef jerky and kept it in his palm.Mu Xiaotao waited for a while, then said, "You haven't said thank you yet."

Xu Luofeng looked up at her, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

"You're welcome!"

As Mu Xiaotao said that, she carefully peeled off the wrapping paper of her piece of beef jerky. She peeled it very carefully. After peeling off the meat, she smiled at Xu Luofeng and ate the meat into her mouth. .

She stood beside Xu Luofeng with the wrapping paper and looked at him, her cheeks were bulging from chewing. Seeing that Xu Luofeng hadn't moved, she finally couldn't help asking: "Why don't you eat?"

Xu Luofeng peeled off the meat and ate it into his mouth. Satisfied, Mu Xiaotao reached out to him, "Give me the paper, don't throw it away."

Xu Luofeng handed the wrapping paper to her in a daze, she bounced away and threw it into the trash can seriously, then ran back to Mu Fengying's side, grabbed her mother's knee and started acting like a spoiled child.

Xu Luofeng didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He sat there for a long time without moving, looking at the figures of Mu Fengying and Mu Xiaotao not far away.He remembered what Mu Fengying had said to him. She said she told Xiaotao that her father had gone away because of work, so she couldn't be with them.

It is estimated that Mu Fengying never imagined that a white lie she told her daughter had already been "see through" by her.The little child even had divergent thinking. Xu Luofeng didn't know if she understood what "death" really meant. He just knew that in Mu Xiaotao's heart, he was already dead.
