Dad is here

Chapter 28

Lu Yunfan said: Have you ever loved Mu Fengying?

You Xinyang said: You probably never liked Yingying from the beginning to the end.

Mu Fengying said: I will never marry a man who doesn't love me.

Xu Luofeng was sitting on a high chair by the bar, with a glass of whiskey and ice on his left, and a stack of white paper and a few folded frogs on his right.

He concentrated on folding the frog, and there was no other sound in the living room, only the scraping sound of paper folding.After a while, Xu Luofeng stopped. He pressed the paper frog's butt with his fingers, and when he released it suddenly, the frog jumped forward. Press it again, and it jumped again. Xu Luofeng stared at the frog for a while, then stood up.

He took the wine glass to the balcony and leaned against the railing.

The ice cubes in the glass collided with each other and made a tinkling sound. Xu Luofeng took a sip of the wine, and the mellow aroma of the wine filled his mouth, making his mind clear.

He lives alone in this three-bedroom apartment on the 28th floor. The name of the community is Fengtai Mingcheng. It is located on the edge of the main urban area of ​​J City. It is much quieter than the city center after nightfall.

Xu Luofeng didn't have a balcony. In the late autumn night, the wind was extremely strong, whistling in his ears, wantonly blowing his clothes and messing up his hair.

Downstairs, the car lights on the road converge into a long line, and in the tall buildings near and far, countless lights shine through the windows, warm and quiet.

Xu Luofeng faced the direction of Mu Fengying's house, and took another sip of his wine.He squinted his eyes and wondered what she was doing now, whether she was busy behind such a window with a warm light on.

At this point, Xiaotao should be sleeping, Xu Luofeng imagined what it would be like when she was sleeping.At Mu Fengying's house that day, he saw Mu Xiaotao wearing a cartoon nightdress. The nightdress was so long that it covered her ankles. There was an animation character printed on the front of the nightdress, but Xu Luofeng didn't recognize it.

At that time, Mu Xiaotao didn't have braids, her soft hair was scattered on her shoulders, with neat bangs and bright black eyes, Xu Luofeng thought she was really cute.

When Mu Fengying went to coax Xiaotao to sleep, Xu Luofeng was waiting in the living room. He vaguely heard Mu Fengying's singing from the room. She sang soothing nursery rhymes to Xiaotao, her voice was so gentle that it made my heart soften.

After standing on the balcony for a long time, Xu Luofeng felt a little cold. He returned to the living room and looked up at the house.

He suddenly thought, what would happen if there was one more woman and one more child in this house?It will probably be like Mu Fengying’s home: the living room is full of children’s toys, and there is a small bicycle, which is dazzlingly colorful; there is an easel in the corner of the living room, with crayons and watercolors scattered around it, and paper It is full of messy graffiti; the wall is a group of photo walls, which are photos of adults taking their children out on a trip, recording the growth of children bit by bit; even those daily necessities, cups, vases, pillows, etc. It's a colorful cartoon pattern...

Thinking about it, Xu Luofeng couldn't help smiling, as if all this had come true.The mobile phone on the bar suddenly rang, awakening Xu Luofeng instantly.Taking a closer look, the living room in front of me is still cold, with black, white, log colors... not even a little warm color.

Xu Luofeng felt that he probably drank too much.

Xu Luofeng received a call from his father, Xu Pingchuan, that there was something wrong with a construction site in Harbin, and he needed to rush over to deal with the problem immediately.

Xu Luofeng booked a flight ticket for the evening of the next day. Before departure, he went to the community park next to Jialan Mingju to meet Mu Yang.

Mu Xiaotao was playing on the slide with the children there, while Mu Yang and Xu Luofeng were sitting on the rest chair beside them, chatting and watching Xiaotao climb up and down there.

Mu Yang asked Xu Luofeng about mountaineering and barbecue on Sunday, but Xu Luofeng couldn't say anything, so he changed the subject and asked about Mu Fengying.

"Uncle, Xiaotao was born in 06. At that time, Yingying hadn't graduated yet. How did she have a child?"

Mu Yang snorted and said, "You don't want to ask about Yingying from me. If you are sincere, you have to ask her yourself. Although I will let you see Xiaotao, I will tell you something about Yingying. Yingying's whereabouts does not mean that I will help you chase her. On this point, I completely respect Yingying's opinion, if she is not willing to be with you, I will never force her."

Xu Luofeng fell silent. Seeing his downcast expression, Mu Yang felt a little uncomfortable, so he took out his cigarette case and handed him a cigarette. Before the two men had lit their cigarettes, Mu Xiaotao had already rushed over.

Standing in front of Mu Yang, she raised her face and said angrily, "Grandma said, you can't smoke!"

Mu Yang chuckled: "Xiao Tao is good, Xiao Tao, don't tell grandma, grandpa will buy you chestnuts later, okay?"

Mu Xiaotao pursed her lips: "No way!"

Xu Luofeng looked at her from the side, Mu Xiaotao felt his gaze, turned her head and saw that he also had a cigarette between his fingers, and immediately yelled: "Uncle, you can't smoke either!"

Xu Luofeng took out the cigarette case, put the cigarettes in it, and said, "Okay, I won't smoke."

Satisfied, Mu Xiaotao began to grab Mu Yang's hand: "Grandpa doesn't smoke either!"

"Okay, okay, grandpa doesn't smoke, he doesn't smoke." Mu Yang had no choice but to pack the cigarettes.Mu Xiaotao grinned: "Smoking makes your mouth smell bad and your stomach will turn black."

She guessed that she was tired from playing for a while, and Lai hummed coquettishly beside Mu Yang, who helped her straighten her coat that was wrinkled from playing on the slide, pointed to Xu Luofeng next to her and said, "Do you recognize this uncle? "

Mu Xiaotao nodded shyly, and hid behind Mu Yang.Mu Yang dragged her out again: "Go, go talk to uncle."

"Yeah..." Mu Xiaotao was a little embarrassed, but Mu Yang pushed her over, Xu Luofeng stretched out her hand, and Mu Xiaotao was pulled into his arms reluctantly.

Xu Luofeng was wearing a black windbreaker, and Mu Xiaotao was attracted by the buttons on his windbreaker, she lowered her head and stretched out her little hand to play with the buttons.

Xu Luofeng hardly dared to move. He lightly hugged Mu Xiaotao's small body, and saw that her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat from playing, and her fine and soft hair was sticking to her temples. tiny fluff.

The child's skin was as delicate as porcelain, with no pores visible at all, and Xu Luofeng couldn't take his eyes off his chubby cheeks that were rosy and pale.

After playing with the buttons for a while, Mu Xiaotao suddenly raised her head to look at him, squinted her eyes and smiled, her little nose was a bit collapsed, her teeth were small and small, and Xu Luofeng's innocent face was imprinted in Xu Luofeng's eyes, which would remind him of many years ago the one she.

Mu Fengying grew up smoothly since she was a child, carefree and happy. When she smiles, she laughs heartily, and when she cries, she cries wantonly.

She is a warm girl, Xu Luofeng once wondered how could she be so warm, until she met Mu Yang and Mu Xiaotao many years later, Xu Luofeng didn't know that it was because Mu Fengying grew up in a loving family.

Mu Yang watched the big man and the little girl get along with each other speechlessly, and was a little speechless: "I said Xiao Xu, talk to Xiao Tao, you have to go on a business trip for more than a week, and you won't be able to see it then. "

Xu Luofeng really wanted to talk to Mu Xiaotao, but...he really didn't know what to say.

At this time, an older sister in her 50s came over with her grandson. Her grandson often played with Mu Xiaotao in the community park. The two adults would greet each other when they saw each other, but they didn't know each other's family situation. .This time, the elder sister saw Xu Luofeng who was hugging Mu Xiaotao, and said pleasantly: "Hey, this is Xiaotao's father. This is the first time I've seen her. Xiaotao really looks like her father. Those eyes are exactly the same."

Xu Luofeng was taken aback, Mu Yang became embarrassed, no, no, no, unexpectedly, it was Mu Xiaotao who reacted the most, she suddenly broke out of Xu Luofeng's arms, and screamed: "He's not my father!"

The eldest sister giggled, bent down and touched Xiao Tao's head, and said, "Why isn't it your father?"

Mu Xiaotao's voice became louder and louder: "He is not my father!"

The eldest sister saw that she was very angry when she frowned, and felt a little strange in her heart. She turned to look at Mu Yang and asked, "What's the matter, this is..."

"It's okay, it's okay, children are ignorant and messing around." Mu Yang quickly hugged Mu Xiaotao and let her sit on his lap, "Xiaotao, how can you talk to grandma like this? Grandpa doesn't teach you how to talk to elders. Are you polite, please apologize to grandma immediately."

The eldest sister hurriedly said: "No, no, children are like this. When they get angry, they don't care about you. She probably got into trouble with her father."

The eldest sister wanted to take her grandson away, but when Mu Xiaotao heard her last words, she twisted her body and screamed again, crying while crying: "He's not my father! Not my father! He is not my father!!"

From the beginning to the end, Xu Luofeng didn't move or make a sound.

He was stunned.

The eldest sister took her grandson away, and Mu Xiaotao was so out of breath from crying that she almost fainted in Mu Yang's arms.

When tears were pouring down, she stared at Xu Luofeng with her tear-filled eyes, her eyes were desolate and aggrieved.Her little hand grabbed Mu Yang's collar, and occasionally patted his shoulder, just repeating a sentence.

"He's not my father, he's not my father, woo woo woo woo...he's not my father!"

……

While waiting for the flight at the airport, Chang Zhibin answered the phone by Xu Luofeng's side.

"Ah, Dad will be back soon, Xiaowei wants to listen to her mother and grandparents, do you know? ... Presents? Of course, Dad will bring you gifts ... I can't tell you what I bring, this is a secret. ... ...Okay, Dad won't tell you anymore, Dad is going to take a big plane... Oh, when Xiaowei graduates from kindergarten, Dad will take you to take a big plane, okay?... Umm, Dad loves you, goodbye Xiaowei .”

He kissed the microphone, then hung up the phone with a smile, and when he turned his head, he met Xu Luofeng's strange eyes.

Chang Zhibin smiled awkwardly: "In the past, I basically never went on business trips. This is...the first time I have been on a business trip for 7 or 8 days. Children are not used to it."

Xu Luofeng's eyes were a little subtle, Chang Zhibin suddenly realized that what he said was wrong, and quickly explained: "Manager Xu, it's not that I don't want to go on a business trip! I'm very, very willing to go on a business trip!"

Seeing that he was serious, Xu Luofeng suddenly laughed. Chang Zhibin was a little taken aback, so he heard Xu Luofeng say, "Do you have a photo of your daughter on your phone?"

"Ah, yes, there are many." Chang Zhibin showed him the photo album on his phone, and Xu Luofeng saw a five or six-year-old girl with short ear-length hair and a pink headband on her head, smiling. When he woke up, his mouth was missing a front tooth, and his eyebrows and eyes were vaguely similar to those of Chang Zhibin.

"Kind of like you," he said.

Chang Zhibin laughed foolishly, and showed Xu Luofeng another photo: "Look, this is what she looked like when she was born. She only weighs more than 5 catties. She looks like a kitten. I dare not even hug her."

This is a digital remake of a paper photo. Chang Zhibin has always saved it in his mobile phone. The baby on it has pink skin, a wrinkled face, and very thin arms. Xu Luofeng seems to be able to understand it just by looking at the photo. At that time, Chang Zhibin was in a nervous mood.

"It's not easy to raise a child from such a young age until he is six years old," he said.

Chang Zhibin sighed: "That's right, I don't dare to recall the old days. My wife and I are both only children. It is reasonable to have another child, but we don't plan to have another child. It is too hard to raise a child, and it takes a lot of time." Money, you can cultivate this one well.”

Xu Luofeng looked at the photo and didn't answer. After a while, he returned the phone to Chang Zhibin and said, "I don't seem to have any activities with you when I arrived at the department. When I come back from this business trip, we will get together some weekend and bring you guys together." The family members brought them, and the company reimbursed the expenses.”

Chang Zhibin was flattered: "Ah, good, thank you Manager Xu!"

After boarding the plane, the stewardess reminded everyone to turn off their mobile phones.Xu Luofeng thought for a while, then sent a text message to Mu Fengying.

Mu Fengying was on her way home from get off work. While waiting for the green light, her cell phone rang, and when she picked it up, it turned out to be a text message from "Bastard Xu".

I want to watch Xiaotao grow up, I want to watch her get married happily with you, can you give me another chance.

Mu Fengying stared at the phone screen in a daze, and the urging sound of a car horn came from behind her. She frantically started the car, but did not pay attention to the distance from the car in front. When she found out, it was too late to brake, and there was a small "bang", Her car rubbed against the car in front.

Mu Fengying was so angry that she texted Xu Luofeng back with trembling hands: Dreaming!dream! !
