Like every happy family, after dinner, the family of four continued to enjoy a wonderful leisure time. The two children played chess in the living room, and the loser put a small note on his face. Happy laughter came from time to time, especially
Tong was washing dishes in the kitchen, and the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously. The glass door was suddenly opened, and Rong Yuchi walked in gently. She turned her head and glanced at him, and said, "Why are you coming in again? I can do it myself."
La!"
"I'm afraid you'll be tired." He hugged her from behind, put his face close to her ear, and said intimately, taking the rice bowl from her hand with both hands, and wanted to help clean it.
She nudged his chest with her elbow and teased him, "Don't make trouble, you will only make it more difficult!"
"Who said that?!" Rong Yuchi raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction and continued to move his hands.
The two of them stood in front of the sink and washed the dishes together. His hands went through her waist and they were very close. You Tong suddenly realized a dangerous sense of intimacy. She was no stranger to the kitchen, but now she was like this
, the atmosphere was particularly awkward.
Especially, at this moment, his chest was pressed tightly against her back, and she could clearly feel his body breath surrounding her, so hot that it seemed to melt her, making her heart beat hotly.
She tried to break away from his embrace and distance herself. Her body was soft and had a unique fragrance. The twisting made him unable to control himself, "Tongtong, don't move!"
His voice was low and dark.
"What's wrong?!" She asked in confusion, turning her head and looking into his deep eyes. The dark eyes became darker and darker. He put his forehead against her forehead, and the tips of their noses touched lightly.
, each other's breaths intertwined ambiguously.
"Dad, my brother is cheating. He won't stick a note when he loses!" Rong Tong's childish complaint suddenly sounded, interrupting the gaze between the two.
Rong Yuchi suddenly gritted his teeth, "This stinky boy!"
"You stole my chess pieces first!" Rong Rong argued loudly.
Rong Yuchi's clenched teeth relaxed slightly, with a look of defeat on his face.

Happy days always pass by very quickly. In a blink of an eye, it is already February and the Chinese New Year is coming soon.
According to the old calendar, before the Chinese New Year, everyone has to visit the graves of their relatives and pay homage to their relatives.
On this day, the weather was slightly gloomy. You Tong got up early and planned to go to the cemetery where Zhao Wanhua was buried. Rong Yuchi also got up early in the morning and planned to go to Rong Lanze's cemetery.
He suddenly held her hand and said in a deep voice, "Come with me to see dad."
She said "hmm" and held his hand.
It was just dawn, and only a few people went to the cemetery to pay homage. The weather was a bit cold, and the tall evergreen cypresses stood quietly, guarding this last place where mankind belongs.
The two people climbed up the neatly trimmed stone steps, their footsteps echoing gently on the path until they were out of breath and finally reached the highest point.
This is the exclusive cemetery of the Rong family. Rong Lanze's tombstone is in the southeast direction. In the photo, his appearance is still in the prime of life, with a touch of melancholy trapped between his eyebrows.
You Tong looked sideways at Rong Yuchi again, and she discovered that in fact, they were not very similar between father and son. Rong Lanze inherited more of his mother's genes, while Rong Yuchi inherited more of Rong Guosheng's genes.
Rong Yuchi placed the flowers in his hand in front of the tombstone. It was a fresh bouquet of camellias.
He finally understood why his father loved camellia the most during his lifetime.
He was silent for a long time, saying nothing, just staring at the tombstone and the bouquet of camellias.
I don't know if it was because of the cold weather and the thin clothes he wore, but Rong Yuchi's resolute face was slightly pale. He was silent and pursed his lips, which made You Tong feel extremely distressed.
"Achi, let's go see mom together later, okay?!"
He didn't answer, didn't say yes or no.
At the end, Rong Yuchi murmured to himself——
"When I was a child, like other children, I admired my father very much. Like other children, I also wanted to be favored by him. However, as long as I can remember, my father was often not at home. He stayed abroad all year round.
He only comes back during the New Year holidays or my birthday."
"Every time he comes back, I am very happy. I will show him all my trophies, certificates, and other honors, looking forward to getting his approval, but he always twitches the corners of his lips and wants to say
Something, but in the end it was just a faint smile."
"I can feel that he loves me, but he deliberately distances himself from me. When he looks at me, he will lose consciousness, but when he comes back to his senses, his eyes will show pain."
"I never understood why until I was nine years old... Then I suspected that I was not my father's biological child, so I secretly went to do DNA testing. It later turned out that we were biological father and son, so I doted on him as if he were my biological father.
It's all down to my mother's cheating."
He talked about childhood memories, and You Tong listened quietly.
It started to rain lightly in the sky, You Tong opened the black umbrella, but Rong Yuchi didn't notice it and still said——
"But I didn't know until now that his feelings towards me are difficult to face. My existence will remind him that he betrayed his most beloved woman."
"If he knew that I was the child he had with his most beloved woman, he would definitely treat me better and better. I wouldn't have had so many disappointments and sadness when I was a child, and he wouldn't blame himself and be conflicted for so long.
."
She moved the umbrella over his head, and thin strands of rain fell on the curtain, silently and filled with sadness, "Achi, are you blaming mom?!"
He shook his head, "I should blame her. She did all the tricks just to send me to the Rong family, but she didn't know that I grew up in a rich environment, but I was emotionally barren. But
I should thank her again. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have known each other. She saved you five years ago. If you were the one who fell down the stairs at that time, Rong Rong and Ronger would probably be gone... I really
I don’t know how to face her. When she was alive, I didn’t recognize her. When she died, I didn’t even call her mom... She gave birth to me, but I never did a thing for her...
…”
"Achi, there is one thing you can do." She stretched out her hand and held his.
