Xiaochuan had just gone upstairs. Without saying a word, Ruochu went to serve Xiaochuan a late-night snack. He said that he was still awake at such a late hour. It was because of this. I just learned this late-night snack from my mother's blog. It clears away heat and relieves heat.
Fire is a waste of time and effort. It happened that my dad had something to do tonight, so I ran to the supermarket to prepare all the ingredients, and started researching when I came back. In order to save time, I even made do with instant noodles for dinner, so I thought
Give him a surprise when he comes back.
But after a long time of preparation, it didn’t come back even if I waited. Ruochu had no choice but to watch the TV, so he simply turned off the lights and the TV and waited on the sofa in the living room. He was about to fall asleep in a daze.
At that time, daddy just came back, and Ruochu suddenly became energetic, because it took a long time to make it, and it was already cold. It doesn't matter, just turn it in the microwave, Ruochu thought.
Before Xiaochuan could say no, Ruochu ran to the kitchen. Xiaochuan shook his head helplessly. Looking at Ruochu's brisk background, his heart sizzled out for no reason, as if he had been scratched by a knife.
Blood.
No matter when he comes back, there is someone who is always waiting for him at home, willing to cook for him, and even make midnight snacks. This is his ideal happy life, and this is his ideal lover. Is such a high request? Yes
It may not be high for others, but for him it has almost become a lifelong luxury. Now this picture of life is really vividly presented in front of his eyes, but why, the other party is her - his godson, his best friend
His daughter? The daughter of the woman he once loved most?
How he wanted to happily wait for her to take out the things, and then chat while eating. In the past, it didn't have to be far away, just before going to England, but now, he is no longer qualified, and he is not qualified to get close.
She is even less qualified to allow her feelings to continue to be indulged like this.
Xiaochuan gritted his teeth and went back to his room without waiting for Ruochu to come back.
Ruochu enthusiastically heated up the late-night snacks and put them in two beautiful glass bowls. When she carefully brought them out, she found that there was no one in the living room. She put the tray on the coffee table and felt a little sad.
She was disappointed, she had been waiting for him all night, why was he not willing to wait for her even for a few minutes? She noticed that the light in the bathroom was on, and Ruochu decided to wait for him a little longer.
Looking at the two glass bowls, I couldn't bear to take a bite for a long time. It seemed that they wouldn't care. Ruochu suddenly felt a little stupid and felt a sour feeling in his heart.
Xiaochuan walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his lower body, wiping the water from his hair with the towel.
"Humbert you..." Ruochu couldn't help but scream when he saw Xiaochuan coming out of the bathroom. When he saw that Xiaochuan was only wearing a bath towel, his upper body was naked and was still dripping.
, swallowed the rest of the words alive, and stared at Xiaochuan without blinking. This was the first time she had seen an adult male body. She had only seen Ruoqi's before, but that was many years ago.
Xiaochuan's figure has been well maintained. Not only has he not gained weight over the years, he doesn't even have any fat. His wheat-colored skin exudes luster under the light. His hair is a little messy because it has just been washed, but it also looks more wild.
, I knew before that daddy had a good figure and was good at clothes, but I didn’t expect that he would still look good without his clothes. No, it would be better. Ruochu stared at Xiaochuan’s body stupidly. It was not that she meant to look, but
She was so shocked that she forgot to look away.
Xiaochuan was also stunned. In the past, he would take a shower after Ruochu took a rest, or come out in a long bathrobe after washing. Tonight, he thought that if Ruochu saw him taking a shower, he would go back to rest. Unexpectedly, she
She was still waiting for him in the living room. Her expression made him feel both funny and puzzled. She opened her little mouth so wide that she forgot to close it and didn't speak. She just stared at herself. Is there anything wrong?
When he saw his father looking at him in confusion, Ruochu realized that he had lost his composure. His face turned red and he quickly turned away and said, "Um, Humbert, I just want to wait for you to try this midnight snack."
…”
Xiaochuan saw Ruochu's unusual reaction and expression, looked down at himself, and realized what was going on. He immediately became embarrassed. He had never been embarrassed in front of a woman before, let alone wearing a bath towel now.
But I don’t know what happened today. Maybe it was Ruochu’s shy reaction, but he just felt unnatural.
"Oh, um, you can eat it by yourself. I'm a little tired. You should go to bed early." After Xiaochuan said that, he ran back to his room as if he was running away. What if he doesn't come back? It's so late at night, Ruochu looked shy.
, it’s strange that he didn’t react, he didn’t want to lose his composure in front of the juniors.
Ruochu saw Xiaochuan leave without even looking at what she made. She sat down gently, picked up one of the bowls, and put the contents of the bowl into her mouth one by one, but she ate
There was no taste. After finishing one bowl, she picked up another bowl and continued to repeat the same actions mechanically. Until she couldn't eat any more, she put the bowl down numbly, sighed, and took it out.
Pour it out.
It was late at night, and the lights in Daddy's room had long been dimmed. Ruochu could only go back to her room, lie on the bed and stare at the ceiling, lost in thought. She used to fall asleep and never knew what it was like to have insomnia, but since then
After moving here, it was strange. I had insomnia for three days. Sometimes I was excited, sometimes I was sad, sometimes it was because of nothing, just thinking about the person in the next room. I never knew that after falling in love with someone,
, nerves can become so fragile, and a little bit of his neglect can affect his emotions, inexplicable and unreasonable emotions.
But maybe daddy didn't mean it, maybe he was too tired after going out, and Ruochu comforted himself like this before he reluctantly fell asleep.
The next day Ruochu got up early and changed into sportswear and waited for his father to get up and do morning exercises together. Since he discovered that his father had the habit of morning exercises last time, Ruochu also joined in, and his father has always been very happy. The two of them ran
Running is not tiring at all, and after a period of exercise, Ruo Chu feels much better. Otherwise, it would be okay to not see the bumps in the UK for so many days.
But today is very strange. It has already passed the usual scheduled morning exercise time, and daddy has not moved yet. Ruochu thought that maybe he came back late last night and wanted to sleep a little longer. It was not easy to disturb him, so he decided to go by himself.
I have all my clothes on when running, and I have formed a habit. If I don’t move for a day, I will not be energetic at work during the day.
A person ran back along the route of the two people. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that his father was fully dressed and looked like he was about to go out.
"Humbert, you?" Ruochu didn't understand what he was going to do. It was still early, and besides, weren't the two of us working together? Then if he didn't come back on time, he would have left as well.
Do not know at all?
"Oh, I remembered that I need to prepare for today's meeting. Breakfast is ready. You can eat slowly while I leave first." After Xiaochuan finished speaking, he didn't even look at Ruochu and left in a hurry. He was very afraid that Ruochu was going to
No matter what he said, it wasn't until he stood outside the door and the door closed behind him that he breathed a sigh of relief.
As a result of struggling all night last night, Xiaochuan decided to start alienating Ruochu, so this morning he heard Ruochu getting up and knew that she was waiting for him to do his morning exercise, but he deliberately didn't go out. Later, there was a sound on the door and he knew that Ruochu had gone out.
, he quickly got up to prepare breakfast. He wanted to leave a note to her, but he didn't manage the time well. It was really not a comfortable thing to leave in her surprised, confused and disappointed eyes. How uncomfortable she felt,
He could only suffer more than she did.
But the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. When she and Rousseau truly achieve success, they can enjoy the simple and beautiful happiness between father and daughter as they did before. In this way, no one will lose anything, and it will be a good solution for everyone. , after all, she is still young and innocent, and does not understand that a relationship has many responsibilities besides each other, but he is different, he not only has to be responsible for himself, but also for her, so even if she is sad now, one day, she You will understand his good intentions.
Gritting his teeth, he pressed the elevator button, imagining her current mood. He felt the same way.
One thing Ruochu can confirm now is that something must have happened, because the change in daddy started when he came back last night, otherwise he would not be avoiding her for no reason, yes, just hiding. If
If her attitude last night could be explained by being tired, what about this morning? Okay, she could continue to use being tired as an explanation for not exercising, but she had never encountered a situation where her father needed to prepare for a meeting, even if it was a very important meeting.
She needs to prepare, and it doesn't take such a few minutes. She doesn't even have time to wait for her to change clothes and have a meal.
I remembered that when he was still in England not long ago, although he didn't say much, he was so considerate and caring towards her. He would never hate her, and if she knew that he liked her, why would it be like this? What happened?
thing?
She originally wanted to catch up with him and ask him clearly, but if Chu didn't move, she was no longer a child. She would find an appropriate time to have a good talk with him. She believed that daddy would still be the same daddy.
Humbert is still the same Humbert. No matter what happens, one thing that cannot be changed is that she cannot leave him, even if he continues to stay away from her.
Instead of having breakfast, she deliberately put on a set of professional clothes that her mother gave her when she graduated. She tied up her hair for the first time and put on light makeup. Looking at herself in the mirror who had become much more mature, she couldn't believe it.
To attract his attention, she wanted to make her understand that she was no longer that child, that she also had her own thoughts, and that she had the right to decide who she should love.
