Dad is here

Chapter 37 My dad will be back!
In the past half a month, Mu Fengying and Xu Luofeng hadn't lost contact at all. Although they hadn't met each other, Xu Luofeng would occasionally call Mu Fengying to ask about her and Xiaotao's recent situation.

He no longer speaks aggressively, and most of the time he lowers his posture, asking Mu Fengying if he is busy with work, and if he is too tired; at night, he will go back to Taohuayuan with Xiaotao, or go to Jialan Mingju; the weather is fine on weekends Yes, are you interested in taking Xiaotao out for a walk together...

When he spoke like this, Mu Fengying naturally wouldn't jump up and down. Every time he received a call from him, she could communicate with him calmly. If she was in a good mood, she would tell him about Mu Xiaotao's time in the kindergarten.

Mu Fengying knew that he was so considerate because she just wanted to know about Xiaotao's situation. Thinking about it, it was a bit desolate, but she still decided to satisfy him.

After coming out of Guo Yan's house, Mu Fengying held Dian with his left hand and Xiaotao with his right. After walking out of the community for five or six minutes, he saw the west gate of Z University.

This was originally the location of the food street. During the day, there are few people, but at night, the lights are bright and the ground is full of oil. The street is full of students looking for food in twos and threes, and garbage such as lunch boxes and bamboo sticks can be seen everywhere, as well as smoke. Air and lingering aromas of various foods.

But now, all of this is gone. The real estate company has already invaded the town. In a few years, the low-rise bungalows near the school have been demolished, tall buildings have sprung up, and the streets have become wide and flat. Feng Ying could no longer find the slightest imprint of the past.

Xu Luofeng has been quietly by her side all the time. Mu Fengying is actually very tired with two children alone, because the children walk very dishonestly, love to dance and make trouble, and it is even more difficult for the two children to get together, but the people on the street As the cars came and went, Mu Fengying couldn't let go of their hands easily, so she almost chased and ran with the two children into the school gate.

At this time, Mu Xiaotao let go of her hand and rushed forward alone, and was dragged by Mu Fengying to call Xiaotao there. When Xu Luofeng saw it, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Mu Xiaotao, and led her back to Mu Feng Sakura's side.

He and her didn't even speak, they just glanced at each other, and the rest of the way was walking slowly with a child.

Z University has indeed undergone some changes in the past few years. The playground has been renovated, covered stands have been built, and a more advanced plastic track has been laid; the original gymnasium has also undergone renovations and looks much more fashionable; the third The canteen was demolished, and the original site was transformed into a small artificial lake with a nine-curved covered bridge and green plants all around...Mu Fengying looked along the way, and many small shops had changed their signs and owners. The cake shop with the most delicious cupcakes is gone, the bookstore that rents out comic novels is gone, and the Taiwanese rice ball shop that Xu Luofeng and Xu used to frequent together is gone.

Mu Fengying turned to look at Xu Luofeng, who was also looking around, and Mu Fengying asked, "Do you think the school has changed a lot?"

Xu Luofeng nodded: "Yes."

"So, everything will change." Mu Fengying smiled, and took the two children to the teacher's residential building not far from the west gate.

There is a small park in the teacher's building area, and there is a small entertainment place in the park. Many teachers' children like to come here to play.

Diandian was familiar with the way here, and took Xiaotao's hand and rushed to the rotating slide. The two little people climbed up like monkeys, and then slid down the slide in a chasing manner.

Mu Fengying and Xu Luofeng stood not far away watching them, Mu Xiaotao and Diandian were not too shy of strangers, they were already playing with other children.

Because it is the weekend, the teachers are on vacation, many young parents bring their children to play games, and even parents with babies come here to bask in the sun and take a stroll.Mu Fengying's attention was attracted by a few young parents who were chatting with their children in their arms. She saw a six- to seven-month-old doll lying on her father's shoulder. Wearing a wool cap, she was staring at her with a pair of round eyes, Mu Fengying wrinkled her nose at the doll and made a face, the little doll grinned and drooled.

The doll's mother took out a small towel to wipe the child's saliva, seeing that the doll had been smiling at Mu Fengying, she also cast a friendly look.Mu Fengying walked over and said, "Your baby is so cute, is it a boy or a girl?"

"Girl." The young mother was still a little fat, with a gentle smile, "How about you?"

Mu Fengying was taken aback for a moment, then turned her head to look at her side, Xu Luofeng had already walked to her side at some point."It's also a daughter," she said.

The young father holding the doll pointed to Mu Xiaotao who was beside the slide in the distance and said, "The one in blue is your daughter, right?"

Mu Fengying smiled and nodded: "Yes."

The young father smiled triumphantly: "You can see it at a glance, she looks too much like my father." He picked up the doll and kissed her cheek heavily, and asked Mu Fengying, "Do you think my daughter is like me?" Or is it like her mother?"

This is obviously a new father who has not yet recovered from the joy of becoming a father. Before Mu Fengying could answer, Xu Luofeng had already said, "Like you."

The young father was even more proud, and said to his wife: "Look, my daughter is just like Dad."

Seeing his beaming expression, Xu Luofeng felt a slight pain in his heart.

The young mother chatted with Mu Fengying, and asked about some problems that would be encountered when raising a child, what to do about spitting up milk, how to add complementary food, how to coax her crying at night... Mu Fengying answered her patiently, Xu Luofeng seemed like While listening to the scriptures, he couldn't get in the middle of the conversation, but just stood quietly beside them.

"We are artificial-feeding. We have to get up twice a day in the middle of the night to make milk powder. It's all done by the child's father. If the child cries and refuses to sleep, he will be coaxed by the father." The young mother stuck out her tongue and said shyly, "This I really can't match his patience, the weather is so cold now, he wakes up in the middle of the night, and he has no complaints at all."

Because Xu Luofeng was there, Mu Fengying didn't know how to respond, so she could only smile and said, "Then your husband is really a model dad."

Xu Luofeng turned away and pretended not to hear.

While chatting, the baby who had been obediently in his father's arms began to cry. The young mother bid farewell to Mu Fengying and said, "It's almost time for breastfeeding, so let's go first, goodbye."

After they left, Mu Fengying cast her eyes on Mu Xiaotao, who was having fun again. Xu Luofeng put her hands in her coat pockets, and suddenly said, "Did Xiaotao encounter these problems when she was young?"

Mu Fengying replied flatly: "Every child will encounter these problems, eating and drinking, messing around, and turning upside down day and night, everyone has come here like this."

Xu Luofeng turned to look at her, "You must be working hard."

"..." Mu Fengying smiled, "Fortunately, when a child grows up, you will only notice the joy she brings you, and you have long forgotten the hard work of raising her. Besides, I have parents to help me , and there is no problem economically."

Xu Luofeng was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Yingying, Xiaotao hasn't grown up yet. She is not very sensible yet, when she grows up, goes to school, and has more friends, have you ever thought about what she should do? How do you deal with someone asking the question 'she doesn't have a father'? Your own family is harmonious, and it may be difficult to understand Xiaotao's feelings."

He said these words very carefully, and Mu Fengying naturally knew what he meant, but she stubbornly refused to answer.At this moment, Mu Xiaotao was accidentally bumped by an older child and fell to the ground. Xu Luofeng's eyes froze, and he was anxious to move forward, but was stopped by Mu Fengying.

She said, "Don't be in a hurry."

Mu Xiaotao lay on the ground for a while, grinning and wanting to cry but holding back, Diandian had already run to her side, squatting on the ground to pull her.Mu Xiaotao raised her head and looked towards Mu Fengying. Mu Fengying smiled encouragingly at her. Mu Xiaotao blinked, and finally got up by herself, and patted her pants decently.

The boy who hit her also came to her side and seemed to say something to her, Mu Xiaotao shook her head and waved her hands, then laughed, turned around and went to play with Diandian again as if nothing happened.

Xu Luofeng looked at all this, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.He asked Mu Fengying: "Aren't you afraid that she will break it?"

Mu Fengying shook her head: "If you have raised a child, you will have experience. She didn't fall hard, and it didn't hurt too much."

After a while, Xu Luofeng said sincerely: "Yingying, you taught Xiaotao very well."

"It's not particularly good, but she is still very capricious. Sometimes she is very disobedient and cries endlessly. She is greedy, lazy, and mischievous. She often fights with children in the kindergarten. She is very fierce." Mu Feng Sakura laughed as she spoke, "But I tried my best."

She turned her head to look at him, the man was standing upright, the crisp black coat was on him, and against his fair skin, he looked even more handsome, elegant and extremely dignified.

A hazy layer of water vapor floated in Mu Fengying's eyes, "Xu Luofeng, I really tried my best."

The warm sun is shining on the earth, and the long winter has not yet passed. Most of the trees have bare branches, withered leaves, and the branches are slightly swaying in the cold wind.The small park is located in a remote location, so there are many fewer people. You can only see some adults who bring their children to play or walk their dogs, and the rest are the group of chattering and chasing children.

Mu Xiaotao and Diandian were teasing a white puppy. They squatted on the ground boldly and carefully touched the puppy's body. The puppy was afraid of life and barked at them. Mu Xiaotao was not afraid, but giggled instead.

Diandian turned his head by chance, and suddenly saw a scene that was puzzling to him. Xu Luofeng hugged Mu Fengying into his arms. He held her head and pressed her tightly against his chest.

Diandian ran back to Mu Xiaotao, who was having fun with the puppy, and pulled her sleeve to make her look aside. Mu Xiaotao was dumbfounded after seeing it, and then she quickly covered Diandian's eyes, ignoring him Struggling, not letting him continue to look at the past.

When Diandian broke free from Mu Xiaotao's clutches, Xu Luofeng and Mu Fengying had separated from each other. Mu Fengying wiped her eyes and looked towards Mu Xiaotao. Mu Xiaotao met her eyes and stopped suddenly. Turn right and go to the slide.

Diandian chased after her and asked, "Xiaotao, Xiaotao, is that uncle your father?"

He had never met Xu Luofeng, but he knew that Mu Xiaotao didn't have a father. This was a question he couldn't figure out.

Mu Xiaotao pouted and said, "That's not it!"

"But they are hugging." Diandian said quietly, as if she had glimpsed a shocking secret, "My mother said that only father and mother can hug."

Mu Xiaotao remembered one thing, this uncle and mother didn't just hug each other, they even kissed each other!
She lowered her head, struggled for a long time, and said, "He...he is probably my new father."

When they went to the supermarket to buy red wine, Mu Fengying and Xu Luofeng each pushed a shopping cart with a child in each cart.

Mu Fengying pushed a little bit, and Xu Luofeng pushed Mu Xiaotao. When the two cars were driving side by side, Mu Fengying's attention was on the shelf next to her. Suddenly, she felt strange. Xu Luofeng's hand took hers.

Since their reunion, this is not the first time they have held hands, but this time holding hands is completely different from the previous few times.

Mu Fengying knew the meaning of this and knew that it was his temptation.

She can shake off.

She was so upset that her whole body became stiff, her face was already flushed, and she didn't dare to turn her head to look at him.

She felt as if she had returned to the winter when she was 19 years old. In the thick dark night and the howling wind, that man walked towards her in white clothes. When he held her hand, she felt that he was her whole life. world.

In the end, Mu Fengying did not shake off Xu Luofeng's hand, her knuckles were extremely stiff, Xu Luofeng held her tenderly, his fingers caressed her fingers, once, once, gradually, she relaxed, Xu Luofeng's His hands completely wrapped her around her.

Their palms touched each other and their fingers intertwined.

Didn't notice anything, but Mu Xiaotao noticed this unusual scene.

She's starting to lose her temper.

Mu Xiaotao always liked to sit on the shopping cart and direct the adults to go left and right. She, You Xinyang, and Mu Fengying were all used to this. When Xu Luofeng encountered the current situation, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Mu Xiaotao seemed to be deliberately embarrassing him, she always didn't allow Xu Luofeng and Mu Fengying to walk side by side.When Xu Luofeng turned to the left according to her words, she screamed: "Not this way! Not this way! Go over there! Over there!"

When Xu Luofeng turned around and drove away, she stomped her feet in the car and made noise again: "It's not this way! It's over there! Why are you so stupid! It's over there!"

Mu Fengying finally found out that something was wrong with Mu Xiaotao, she scolded her a few words, the little girl glared at Xu Luofeng, pouted and sat down in the shopping cart, with her hands hugging her knees, she curled up into a ball.Even when Diandian called her on another shopping cart, Mu Xiaotao refused to raise her head.

Xu Luofeng talked to Mu Fengying, and pushed Mu Xiaotao to the toy counter, wanting her to choose a new toy, but Mu Xiaotao just shrank there silently.

Xu Luofeng walked up to her and bent down, calling her softly: "Xiao Tao, what's wrong with you?"

Mu Xiaotao covered her face with her two small hands, Xu Luofeng went to pat her arm, she twisted her body and ignored him.Xu Luofeng took a doll of Princess Jasmine and handed it to her, and said, "Xiao Tao, look, this is your favorite Princess Peony. She wants to play with you."

Mu Xiaotao quietly peeked out her eyes and said with disgust, "This is Princess Jasmine! Not Princess Peony!"

Xu Luofeng smiled: "I'm sorry, my uncle made a mistake. Then do you want to play with her?"

Mu Xiaotao hesitated for a while, and finally stretched out her small hand to take the doll and hugged it in her arms.She combed Princess Jasmine's hair with her fingers, Xu Luofeng didn't rush her, but just looked down at her pink face and drooping eyelashes.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Xiaotao suddenly raised her head to look around, and asked, "Where's mom?"

"Mom took some to buy wine." Xu Luofeng replied.

Mu Xiaotao stared at him for a while and said, "Uncle, are you going to be my new father?"

Xu Luofeng smiled and said, "Yes."

Mu Xiaotao lowered her head again, and tears welled up in her eyes. She grinned, and suddenly cried very aggrieved and desolately.

Xu Luofeng panicked, wanted to comfort Xiaotao, but could only say a few pale words.

"Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao, don't cry, Xiao Tao..."

Finally, he reached out to Mu Xiaotao's armpit and hugged her out of the car, comforting her repeatedly: "Xiaotao, don't cry, uncle likes you very much..."

"I don't want you to like it! I don't want a new father... woo..." Mu Xiaotao cried hysterically, and the customers passing by all looked at them, but she just lay in Xu Luofeng's arms, patting his body with her small hands , screaming recklessly, "I don't want a new dad! I don't want a new dad! My dad will come back! My dad will come back to see Xiaotao..."

Mu Xiaotao didn't make a fuss for a long time, when Mu Fengying arrived, she stopped crying very consciously, holding the doll and whimpering and sniffing.Mu Fengying asked Xu Luofeng what happened to Xiaotao, but he didn't answer.

They returned to Guo Yan's house with their two children, red wine and the Princess Jasmine doll. The children were tired from playing, so they got into a bed and fell asleep.

From other people's point of view, the relationship between Mu Fengying and Xu Luofeng was the same, but during dinner, Xu Luofeng seemed to be in a good mood. He drank a glass of red wine, which aroused Lu Yunfan's dissatisfaction.

"Luo Feng, you came here by car, and you will be the driver to take me back later!"

Deng Rou said: "It's rare for everyone to get together, drink as much as you want. I don't drink, I will send you back later."

Guo Yan said: "Yingying doesn't drink alcohol, Xu Luofeng lives in Fengtai Mingcheng, and Yingying is on the way, and Yingying will send him off later; Lu Yunfan, you live in Guanghe apartment, right, Deng Rou will send him off more conveniently."

Neither Xu Luofeng nor Mu Fengying answered, Lu Yunfan chuckled a few times, picked a peanut with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth, and said, "I remember that Mu Fengying seems to live in the west of the city, and Luo Feng's family lives in the east of the city. It turns out that there are more than ten kilometers between the east and the west, which is also called the way."

Zhang Hui poured him half a glass of red wine and patted him on the shoulder: "You know too much, brother."
