Can you come over and stay with me? In the past few days, things have changed in City A.
The sun was shining brightly two days ago, but it started to change color early this morning. The wind was blowing, and the dark clouds above were thick and dark, as if they would sweep over the entire city A at any time.
All the media people on TV and radio are explaining how to be prepared when a typhoon comes, to go out as little as possible, and to take all precautions. The Meteorological Bureau reported that the typhoon may stay in City A for three days, so everyone
Relevant departments have received the news, and even the kindergarten where Anna and Xiaoxiao attended has notified parents that their children will be studying at home in the next few days.
It was only three o'clock now, and the school had announced a holiday, so Xiao Wan had to get off work early to pick up the children.
The taxi driver clucked his tongue while driving: "This damn weather is literally killing people. In such terrible weather, little girl, are you still going out?"
Xiao Wan had short hair and was wearing casual sportswear. She looked really young. No wonder the driver called her a little girl.
"Well, the weather is indeed bad. I went to pick up the children, so I had to come out."
"The little girl looks very young. It's hard to tell that she has a child." The driver expressed great surprise. "When the weather is bad, women should hide at home. Why didn't the father of the child go to pick her up?"
The smile on Xiao Wan's lips froze.
Fu Ziheng?
He hasn't appeared in front of them for two days. This time, he may be really angry, so... so he probably won't appear in front of them again.
That's fine too.
The driver saw that she didn't speak again, so he didn't know what to say.
Arriving at the kindergarten a few minutes later, Xiao Wan felt the strong wind as soon as he got out of the car. The leaves on both sides of the road were blown loudly, and the white garbage bags were also swept up in circles in the air. This must have been seven.
At level eight, thinner people have difficulty even walking.
The wind blew straight into her collar, and Xiao Wan felt a little cold.
When they arrived at the kindergarten, the children, accompanied by their teachers, stood by the guardrail, holding the railing with both hands and looking eagerly outside, as if they were looking forward to seeing what was going on.
Xiaoxiao was the first to spot Xiao Wan. She shouted "Mommy" happily, let go of her hand holding the railing, and ran out of the school.
Xiao Wan bent down and picked her up, Xiaoxiao put his arms around her neck: "Mommy, I thought you wouldn't come."
"Why aren't you here? It's hard to stop the train today. Mom was delayed on the way. I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."
Xiaoxiao looked like "I forgive you" and said, "It's okay, it'll be fine if you come, Mom."
Xiaoxiao also walked over from school, and Xiao Wan led them to the left and right to take a taxi. As Xiao Wan said, it was really difficult to stop the taxi. Even if an empty taxi occasionally passed by, it would just whiz by.
Xiao Wan held the two children in her arms and stood in the strong wind, waiting anxiously.

Fu Ziheng poured himself a glass of wine and drank it without haste. He took the wine glass to the window and opened the curtains to look out. The wind outside was blowing loudly, and people were panicking. On both sides of the greenery in the community,
Swinging, fangs and claws, like a demon.
Raising the glass and drinking down the wine in one gulp, Fu Ziheng became more and more agitated. Just as he was about to look away, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a woman holding two children at the bottom of the community. Her back looked very much like Xiao Wan's. Fu Ziheng stretched out his hand to pull the curtains.
His hands froze in mid-air.
It looks like it, but it's a pity it's not her.
He closed the curtains with a "swish" sound and returned to the living room.
What Xiao Wan said two days ago was still clearly engraved in his mind, and every word would come out to torture him from time to time.
A splitting headache.
The doorbell rang at this time, and Fu Ziheng went to open the door, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Hao walked sideways from the outside, "Boss, I called you last night. I heard you talking nonsense and thought you must be drunk. Now that I have almost finished my work, I am worried, so I came to see you."
"I'm fine." Fu Ziheng said calmly.
Xiao Hao came to the living room and saw the empty wine bottles on the coffee table. He looked like, 'This is okay, who are you kidding?'
You’re drinking and you haven’t had a meal, right?”
"I'm not hungry." Fu Ziheng found a clean space to sit down.
Xiao Hao looked at the messy living room. There was no place to move, so he had to find a bag and collect all the garbage. The clean living room could finally accommodate people. Xiao Hao washed his hands and came out of the kitchen and ordered takeout again.
, then he sat down next to Fu Ziheng.
Fu Ziheng smelled of alcohol, and Xiao Hao blurted out: "Children probably don't like the smell of alcohol. Boss, you'd better take a shower when you go to pick up the two children later."
Fu Ziheng held the wine bottle and chuckled, "Why do you think I use wine to relieve my sorrows?"
"..."
Xiao Hao turned around in his mind and understood instantly, "Boss, did you... quarrel with your sister-in-law again?"
Every word is used wonderfully.
Thinking of what happened that night, Fu Ziheng showed an expression of gritted teeth and hatred. But when he thought of Xiao Wan's eyes as red and swollen as walnuts, and the long eyelashes with crystal tears hanging on them, he felt a throbbing pain in his heart.
When Xiao Hao saw him like this, he understood that Xiao Wan must have made him angry again, and he was probably very angry.
"Then...Boss, are you still looking for the children and sister-in-law?" Xiao Hao asked tentatively.
Fu Ziheng took a sip of red wine and said nothing.
"The weather is quite bad today. If you don't want to go, boss, but are worried, I can go for you?" Xiao Hao suggested.
Fu Ziheng glanced at him and said, "You don't need to bother me."
"..."
Hey, he is obviously helping him, how can he be so troublesome!
"It was said on TV that there is a typhoon today. Boss, do you think it will be inconvenient for my sister-in-law to pick up the children today?"
"..."
"My sister-in-law is a weak woman, and it will definitely be very difficult to take care of two children. If it rains or something, it will be even worse..."
"Xiao Hao, she said she didn't want to give birth to these two children five years ago!"
Before Xiao Hao finished speaking, Fu Ziheng suddenly interrupted him. As powerful as he was, he would not be able to accept such hurtful words from Xiao Wan.
In the past two days, all his emotions have been bottled up in his heart, and he has never had an outlet.
"...I have always thought that even if she still remembers what I said five years ago, she has at least given birth to two children for me, so she must have me more or less in her heart, but...but she said that she
I never thought about having those two children, and the little hope I had left in my heart disappeared in an instant."
He didn't know if he went to find her again, would she still look like she wished he could disappear from this world?
He... wasn't sure if he could get her heart back.
Xiao Hao had never seen Fu Ziheng so weak. His expression was confused, as if he was trapped in a maze.
"Sister-in-law..." Xiao Hao opened his mouth and expressed what he was thinking, "...sister-in-law said she didn't want to give birth to the child... but the child is now alive and well and safe.
"
Women sometimes say one thing but think something else in their hearts.
Xiao Hao really couldn't understand what Fu Ziheng was struggling with. Xiao Wan said that she didn't want to give birth to the child, but the child was already four years old now. This was the most real thing and what he should care about the most.
Fu Ziheng is such a shrewd person, he can immediately understand everything with just a slight hint.
Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Fu Ziheng's expression gradually became like a sunny day after the clouds had cleared. He nodded vaguely: "You're right."
Xiao Hao was so proud that Fu Ziheng could actually agree with him on matters of love: "Boss, you think what I said makes sense, don't you? Haha, I think what I said makes sense too!"
It’s such a sense of accomplishment.
The more I think about it, the better I feel.
Xiao Hao had a smug expression on his face: "Men are afraid of infatuated women, and women are afraid of pestering men. Boss, I tell you, there is a secret to chasing your wife. As long as you pester her vigorously, one day she will soften. Sister-in-law
She said she doesn't like you, she already has two children, how can she not like you?"
A smile appeared on Fu Ziheng's lips: "It seems that talking on paper is of some use."
"..."
Let's just talk on paper, as long as he thinks it through.
Just as the takeout arrived, Xiao Hao got up and went to open the door. After giving him the money, he brought the takeout in. He happened to be hungry too. As Fu Ziheng started eating, Fu Ziheng didn't seem to be thinking about it. After taking a few bites, he put down his chopsticks and didn't continue.
Eat again.
But Xiao Hao took care of all that fast food by himself.
After sending Xiao Hao away half an hour later, Fu Ziheng sat on the sofa holding his cell phone and wondering whether he should call Xiao Wan.
What would he do if he didn't answer the call?
Called, received...
She laughed at herself, if there was no such possibility, she would definitely not accept it.
He threw the phone aside irritably. He picked up the remote control and turned on the TV. He tuned to the military channel as usual. It was still early, but the sky had darkened, and the darkness looked particularly scary. The news was playing on the TV.
, the host was telling how bad the weather was today on TV. Fu Ziheng's eyebrows gradually frowned, and he felt that Xiao Hao was right. How did Xiao Wan, a woman, cope with picking up two children from school?
As soon as there was a "boom", a bolt of lightning flashed across the window, followed by rumbles of thunder that echoed across the sky.
Fu Ziheng turned off the TV casually, stood up and went to the window to look out. It was already raining heavily outside, and the big raindrops hit the window one after another, making him want to smash the window.
The image of Xiao Wan and her two children walking in the rain in embarrassment flashed through my mind...
Damn it!
He turned around, picked up the phone, pulled up a number and dialed it.
He Ye was extremely surprised when he received a call from Fu Ziheng. What on earth was this man who was obviously hostile to him calling him for?
"I really didn't expect you to call me..."
"I need to ask you a favor!"
Before He Ye finished speaking, Fu Ziheng interrupted him directly.
He Ye was even more surprised. Fu Ziheng actually asked him for something. It must be a trap and he couldn't agree.
He opened his mouth and was about to refuse when he heard Fu Ziheng's deep voice coming from the phone: "The weather is bad today. Please help Xiao Wan take care of the two children when you get off work."
He didn't dare to be sure that if he went out to find Xiao Wan, she would do something radical again or say something. He could clearly remember the expressions of the children in the past two days.
He... would rather let this man who has half-hearted intentions for his wife help Xiao Wan than Xiao Wan do something that hurts the child after seeing him and she herself hurts the child.
After Fu Ziheng finished talking about those hands, Xiao Hao's voice never came from the phone. He said impatiently: "You don't agree?!"
He Ye paused before speaking: "What if I don't agree?"
"You have to agree even if you don't agree!" Fu Ziheng said coldly.
"..." He Ye raised his head and said, "When you ask for help, can you have a better tone and attitude?"
Fu Ziheng took a deep breath, and his tone softened as expected: "The two children called them uncle no matter what. If you feel sorry for them, help Xiao Wan pick up the children together."
"Yes, it sounds more comfortable this way." He Ye said calmly.
"..."
Fu Ziheng really wanted to throw his phone into the other person's face.
But he endured it for Xiao Wan and his two children.
He Ye's slow and unhurried voice rang from the phone: "Fu Ziheng, you also have this day to come to me, hum, why didn't you know how to show me some kindness before, but today you want to come and ask me for help, I tell you
…”
"Are you going or not?"
Fu Ziheng's calm voice interrupted him, as if he would hang up the phone immediately if he didn't say anything.
Things must be reversed at the extremes. He Ye understood this truth and did not dare to take Qiao down. He immediately said: "Xiao Wan has already taken the children home. The school called her very early today to ask her to pick up the children. It is probably because of the weather.
Willing, why, didn’t she tell you?”
Fu Ziheng hung up the phone without saying a word.
He Ye: "..." Haha, it is indeed very realistic. As soon as I heard that he was no longer of use value, I put down his phone without saying anything. Did you ever think that he would also be injured?
After putting away the phone, Fu Ziheng felt relieved.
*
Xiao Wan, who finally stopped the car and went home, immediately ran water for the children to take a hot bath. Halfway through, it started to rain heavily. Although she brought an umbrella, one umbrella was not enough. She could only
I asked the two children to hide under the umbrella to support them, but there was too much wind. After only a few steps, the fan in my hand broke completely.
Almost all three of them were drowned and soaked when they got home. Fortunately, they got home safely.
After taking a hot bath, the two children hurriedly hid under the covers. Xiao Wan went to the kitchen to brew some ginger tea, and each of them gave the children a drink. She felt relieved.
"Mom, go take a shower quickly and change your wet clothes."
As soon as Xiaoxiao took the tea from her hand, he immediately ordered Xiao Wan to go to the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes like an adult.
This serious look was so similar to that of Fu Ziheng. Xiao Wan was lost in thought. Xiaoxiao waved his hand in front of her eyes. Xiao Wan immediately came back to his senses, nodded and said yes, found some dry clothes and went to the bathroom immediately.
After I came out of the shower, I felt much more comfortable. The children were playing in the living room, and Xiao Wan rolled up her hair and went to the kitchen to make dinner.
After eating two dishes and one soup, Xiao Wanlan was too lazy to wash the dishes, so she just put them away and put them in the sink to soak. She came to the living room, holding two children on one side and one on the right.
The children were sitting on the sofa watching TV. After watching it for a while, several thunder struck down. Xiao Wan was so frightened that she immediately turned off the TV, took out a book and told them to write and draw to pass the time.
During this period, she received a call from Ye Zi. Xiaoxiao found a mobile phone for her mother and handed it to her. Xiao Wan asked her to play with Xiaoxiao. She sat on the sofa and answered the phone: "Hello?"
"Xiao Wanwan, I'm so scared~~~"
"..." Xiao Wan, "I'm afraid too!"
Ye Zi hid in the quilt and rolled his eyes: "What do you have to be afraid of? Two children are with you, and Fu Ziheng is also with you. It's not like me who is alone, with lightning and thunder, which is extremely scary.
Okay, okay, 嘤嘤嘤~~~~”
Xiao Wan answered truthfully: "You also know that there is lightning and thunder now, don't you know that it is dangerous to make a phone call?"
Ye Zi sighed: "I forgot."
She didn't dare to turn on the TV or computer, so she had to take a shower and go to bed early. As a result, the sound of rain and wind by the window and the sound of lightning and thunder made her feel like the end of the world was coming, which was extremely scary.
Xiao Wan sighed: "So what if I'm afraid? I'm not going to accompany you now, and you can't come over either?"
In this crazy weather, let alone cars, there is no one on the road.
Ye Zi said in an aggrieved tone: "Then what should I do? I definitely can't sleep with this kind of weather and this kind of movement~~~~"
"How about asking Chu Ran to accompany you."
"...That's it, just pretend that I didn't call you." Ye Zi silently hung up the phone. Xiao Wan couldn't help laughing. Just as she put down the phone, the phone beeped again. She picked it up and took a look.
, is a text message sent by Ye Zi, "——You are right, this kind of weather is really not suitable for turning on the mobile phone. For safety reasons, I will not talk to you. Turn off the phone and go to sleep. Good night, okay!"
There was also a cute smiley face behind it.
Xiao Wan replied, "Well, good night."
Ye Zi put down her phone and hugged the little bear in her hand tightly. She didn't dare to turn off the light at all. The thing she was most afraid of since she was a child was thunder. It used to be okay. There were people with her at home, but now, she is alone in City A.
, being so lonely and pitiful, she felt extremely wronged for a moment.
His eyes couldn't help but turn red.
She took her mobile phone to bring up the address book and slid her phone over it. That man's phone number was always on her phone, but she never called it once.
Now, a strong feeling came out of her heart. She almost couldn't control it and dialed out.
Chu Ran's name came into her eyes at this moment, and she reached out and dialed it without thinking.
Chu Ran was coming out of the bathroom after taking a shower, wiping his hair and walking into the living room. The cell phone on the coffee table rang. He walked over and saw that it was Ye Zi calling.
Sitting down on the sofa, he reached out to take it. She had not contacted him since he forcibly kissed her last time, so why did she call today.
After answering the phone, Chu Ran was about to speak when Ye Zi's aggrieved voice with a thick nasal sound came from the other end: "Chu Ran, can you come over and accompany me?"
