Man is a creature driven by desire, not need. - Bachilard

When Qin Nan came in with a bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup, he found Qin Bei sitting on the window sill, smoking with the window open. He couldn't help but frowned in surprise. Qin Bei rarely smoked in the bedroom, so it seemed that he must be the same as Ruo Chu.
It's relevant.
Originally, he was going to indulge Qin Bei and finish the cigarette, but after seeing that the ashtray beside him was already full of cigarette butts, Qin Nan decisively took down the cigarette he had just lit and extinguished it in the ashes.
At the same time, he handed the bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup to Qin Bei's hand.
Qin Bei smiled sheepishly and reluctantly took the bowl handed over by Qin Nan.
"Baby, when did you learn this trick, daughter?" Qin Bei joked with Qin Nan without eating the food in the bowl.
Qin Nan ignored him and kept counting the cigarette butts in the ashtray until he counted five. He raised his head and crossed his arms across his chest to look at Qin Bei expressionlessly.
"Okay, I was wrong, I'll eat this..." Qin Bei took a big sip before he could finish his words. Before Qin Nan could stop him, Qin Bei was so burned that his mouth opened wide.
Qin Nan sighed deeply, and the scene in Ruoqi's room was played out again in Qin Bei's place.
"Tell me, what did Ruoruo talk to you about just now? She seemed very happy." Qin Nan took the ashtray away and sat on the window sill, facing Qin Bei.
"She didn't take the postgraduate entrance exam." Qin Bei said lightly. This time she learned well. She knew how to use a small spoon and blow on it. After she finished blowing, she brought it to Qin Nan's mouth. Qin Nan smiled sweetly and said,
Qin Bei fed her.
"That's good, come to Qin's. If she can afford it, I will continue to go back to T University." This news is good news for Qin Nan. Qin Bei looked at Qin Nan helplessly and said nothing.
.
"I said I'm so depressed. Isn't it because my daughter came to help me and didn't continue studying with you? Don't you still have Rousseau?" Qin Nan still looked unhappy after seeing Qin Bei and decided to comfort him.
"Bei, didn't you say that we should respect the path chosen by the children and never let them run away from home like we did?"
"Nan, do you think she will help you if she doesn't go to graduate school?" Qin Bei really couldn't bear to hit Qin Nan, even though her expression now looked very gloating.
"Then what can she do?" Qin Nan couldn't think of anything else Ruochu could do besides studying and going to Qin's. Back then, she only had these two options, and she never thought about anything else.
"She has found a job." Qin Bei said calmly.
"Found... a job?" Qin Nan opened his eyes wide this time and looked at Qin Bei as if asking for confirmation. Qin Bei nodded again.
Qin Nan rubbed his temples and smiled bitterly, "It seems that she is much more courageous than we were back then, right?" Qin Bei continued to nod.
"Well, let her go out and have a try, and she will come back after suffering. I know why you are sad, because she didn't be honest with us, and I am the same, but she does this because she doesn't want to rely on
We, we still have to be proud of her, right?" Qin Nan took one of Qin Bei's hands, put it in his palm, and used the other hand to gently draw circles on his palm.
"She currently works at the magazine acquired by Xiaochuan." As soon as Qin Bei said this, Qin Nan was even more surprised than when he heard that Ruochu didn't take the exam.
"Xiaochuan? What, they discussed it?"
"It should just be a coincidence. When Ruochu applied for the job, Xiaochuan didn't know, and Ruochu didn't know that the magazine had been acquired by Xiaochuan."
"Oh my god, there is such a coincidence..." Qin Nan processed what Qin Bei said in his head. In order to prevent something from surprising her more, he behaved better this time, "What next?"
Let’s see if there’s anything more exciting.
Qin Bei shrugged, put down the bowl, and spread his hands.
Qin Nan thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Bei, are you jealous?" She finally understood why Qin Bei had been so unhappy.
"I didn't." Qin Bei denied it. At the same time, he turned his head to the window, took a deep breath, and looked at the night sky outside the window in trance.
Qin Nan suddenly laughed and stretched out his arms to turn Qin Bei's face towards her: "My dear, you have been secretly competing with Xiaochuan for so many years. I know you work hard, but don't forget, if
If it is your daughter and more people love her, we should be happy."
"Well, actually following Xiaochuan makes me feel relieved, but..."
"It's just that you don't want to share a daughter with your brothers, do you?" Qin Nan said as he wrapped his arms around Qin Bei's neck, pulled his head over, pressed it against his forehead, looked into his eyes and said softly.
"You..." Qin Bei couldn't help but kiss Qin Nan's eyelids. He really couldn't hide anything from her.
…
Ruochu finally breathed a long sigh of relief. The mental burden of the past few months was so easily relieved. He was so excited that he couldn't help himself. Daddy was right. It seemed that he was really a little kid.
I saw my parents.
Just now, Qin Bei told Ruo Chu about his experience of running away to do what he liked, and about Qin Nan taking the postgraduate entrance examination behind his back from his family. This was the first time Ruo Chu heard these things. Although his parents' choices were different from his own, the nature of
It's all the same, that is, you must firmly follow your own path.
Moreover, Qin Bei praised Ruochu and promised to help persuade Qin Nan and encourage Ruochu to just do what she likes. Her parents will always be her strong backing. Ruochu was so excited that she regretted not taking this matter up earlier.
Speaking out, I feel ashamed that I don't understand my parents, and at the same time, I have suffered for so long in vain.
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became. Although I still had my graduation thesis weighing on my head, today was a big day for spiritual liberation, so it didn’t hurt to relax appropriately, so Ruochu turned on the music and couldn’t help but dance in his room.
At the moment when he was forgetting his feelings, a deliberate cough came from the door. Ruo Qi was looking at Ruo Chu spinning around in circles with a half-smile but not a smile. Ruo Chu didn't stop, but just rolled his eyes at him.
"Sister, I didn't expect that your cerebellum is quite developed?"
"That's better than someone playing a ball and injuring dad." Ruochu didn't show any weakness, and he didn't mention any pot he didn't open.
Ruoqi immediately wilted and said angrily with an aggrieved look on his face: "I didn't mean it on purpose, why do you keep mentioning it?"
Ruochu turned off the music, came over and rubbed Ruoqi's head, "Okay, I won't mention it anymore. I know you didn't mean it, okay."
"Hey, sister, why are you so happy?" The child's mood changed faster than the weather.
"I'm not afraid to tell you that your sister and I already have a job. Do you know that only when you are working? Can I support myself?" Ruochu looked proud, she always had a sense of superiority in front of Ruoqi.
, especially seeing Ruo Qi’s look of admiration and envy.
After Ruoqi left, the excitement was still there. It felt better than knowing he had been admitted to "Mirror". He suddenly wanted to share the news with others, but the first thing that came to his mind was - Daddy.
Yes, it was him who pointed the way for her, and he gave her a chance to realize her self-worth. She wanted to tell him the news and make him happy too.
He took his mobile phone to dial Xiaochuan's mobile number in China and was quickly connected. After confirming that the deep and lazy voice over there was undoubtedly Xiaochuan, Ruochu sweetly called out "Daddy..."
"Oh, Ruoruo, are you okay?" Obviously the other party was a little surprised that she called so late. At the same time, there was a hidden surprise, but it was difficult for Ruoru to find it.
Ruochu recounted the conversation with Qin Bei to Xiaochuan. Xiaochuan heard a soft laugh and said that this would save him the trouble. However, he would still have to make a special trip to comfort Qin Bei another day. Obviously
After taking his daughter away, it would be better to talk to the father in person.
While they were chatting, an English female voice came from the other side of the phone. Ruochu heard clearly that she was asking Xiaochuan who he was talking to. Xiaochuan replied without thinking about it with two words "my girl", Ruochu's
His face turned red immediately. It was already past ten o'clock. There was a woman in Xiaochuan's room, and he still called at this time...
"Daddy, I won't disturb you anymore, good night." He hung up the phone in a hurry, his heart was pounding, and he couldn't describe how he felt. I regretted making the call at this time and bumping into someone else's private life, but...
Didn't Daddy divorce Monica? Why was there a woman in the room at this time? Ruochu suddenly felt very disappointed, and the previous excitement disappeared without a trace.
"Your girl? daughter?" Michelle came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe and saw Xiaochuan talking on the phone. After Xiaochuan hung up, she continued to ask because she had met Ruochu before she thought of her daughter.
, if it were anyone else, I’m afraid I would have misunderstood.
"Ah, yes, daughter." Xiaochuan replied in English. At the same time, he also realized that the "my girl" he just answered was indeed inappropriate. It was not only ambiguous, but also quite ambiguous. But Michelle didn't mind.
"My dear, you can go take a shower." Michelle walked up to Xiaochuan and hugged his waist. Without Xiaochuan noticing, she took off the belt. Her body stiffened. At this time, her shirt
The first few buttons have been undone.
One of Michelle's hands wandered up to his chest, and the other was naturally placed on his lower body. Xiaochuan suddenly took both of her hands.
"I'm sorry, Michelle..."
"Why are you saying sorry?" Michelle's eyes were as charming as silk, her breath was like blue, her body pressed tightly against Xiaochuan's body, and her tone exuded intoxicating temptation.
"I, I don't want to..." Xiaochuan suddenly gave a lame reason.
"You lied..." Michelle glanced at Xiaochuan's lower body. Obviously, his body had betrayed him.
"I'm really sorry, Michelle. You should have a good rest. I will book a flight back to the United States for you." Xiaochuan said as he quickly packed his clothes and left without looking back.
Michelle shook her head in disappointment. She came all the way to China just to spend one night with him, but since she couldn't, she might as well go out to collect stories tomorrow. It would be a good idea to set the background of the next book in China, but
This man was becoming more and more interesting to her.
Xiaochuan hated himself for shrinking from the battle and running away in front of a woman for the first time. What happened to him? He was now a free man and had needs. What he did today was definitely not in line with his style. Although Michelle didn't
Monica is so young, but her body is still very fascinating to him. Especially, as a mature woman, Michelle knows how to make people ecstasy. This time, she went to China to comfort herself. What on earth is going on?
