Early in the morning, Lu Sheng was still taking a shower. A faint figure was printed on the glass door. He knocked on the door and a childish voice sounded, "Dad, I brought you clean clothes."
Lu Sheng turned off the shower, picked up the bathrobe and put it on. He opened the bathroom door with a smile. The little guy stood there holding his clothes, with the mist of waking up in the morning on his pink and tender face.
"Thank you." Lu Sheng took the clothes in her arms, leaned over and rubbed her smooth forehead twice.
"Good morning, dad." Tangxin stood on tiptoes, kissed the corner of Lu Sheng's mouth with her soft lips, and let out a chirp.
She wore long-sleeved pajamas and pajamas, deliberately trying to hide the scars from yesterday. Lu Sheng picked her up from the ground without exposing her.
"Dad, when are we going to kindergarten?"
Tangxin, who had never liked going to kindergarten, actually made such a request, which surprised Lu Sheng, "Today is Saturday."
"It's Saturday." Tangxin pulled his little short fingers. One hand was not enough, so he added another hand and muttered, "One, two, three... there are still seven days."
It would be a week before she could see her "mom" again, and time would fly faster.
"What seven days?" Lu Sheng asked with a smile.
Tangxin shook her head mysteriously, "You can't tell dad."
"Do you still have secrets you're hiding from dad?"
"Hehe." With a sweet smile, she leaned her little head on Lu Sheng's shoulder and twisted her butt coquettishly, "A girl's secret."
Lu Sheng laughed. She was so young that she already had her own little secret. However, he did not continue to ask.
"Tangxin, are you happy to go to Aunt Zhou's house today?"
"I'm so happy, I like Aunt Zhou." Tangxin said seriously: "Aunt Zhou gave me many Barbie dolls."
"Then..." He paused, "Then, are you happy that your father will marry her to be your mother?"
The child seemed stunned by this question, and it took her a long time to react. She thought of Luo Xi, with her candy-scented hair, snow-white skin, and warm smile. That was the image of her mother in her mind.
Tangxin held her mouth shut, slid down from Lu Sheng's arms, and did not answer the question directly.
She climbed up to her little bed in three steps and took the panda doll from the pillow to cover her face. As a result, Lu Sheng could only see her small hands.
"Dad, where is my mother?" After a long time, just when he thought she would not continue the topic, the child's soft voice came over.
This was the first time that she mentioned this issue. She must have suppressed it for too long and made a lot of determination.
Lu Sheng's heart softened, and he couldn't help but sit down next to her, and hugged the panda doll into his arms. He probably already knew the child's thoughts.
"I'm sorry, Tangxin, I'm sorry."
He kissed the child's hair, slowly closed his eyes, and repeated the words 'I'm sorry' many times in his heart.
"Lu Shuai, the dean is waiting for you at the coffee shop outside the community." Fan Kai knocked on the door and whispered.
"I understand." Lu Sheng coaxed the depressed little guy, "Be good, daddy brought you a little bird."
"Little bird?" Tangxin's attention was immediately attracted and he raised his watery eyes.
"What dad promised you last week is in the backyard. You go and have a look."
"Thank you, Dad." The little guy jumped off the bed happily and ran out like the wind.
Lu Sheng came to the coffee shop and saw two people sitting by the window as soon as he entered.
