The sister-in-law who stayed aside reminded him that the man had realized the problem of his excessive voice.
The man took a deep breath and told himself to take his time and not to scare the child...
"Qiqi."
The man deliberately slowed down his speech, "Will you call me daddy again?"
There was uncontrollable anticipation on his face.
…
"……dad."
The girl pursed her lips, a little annoyed at her clumsy mouth.
Obviously it was smooth when I ordered strawberries just now...
The man did not see the girl's annoyance because at this time he was almost overwhelmed by the ecstasy in his heart.
Really, really!
His daughter spoke!
After two years, he finally heard his daughter call him daddy again!
The corners of the man's mouth grew wider and wider, and the smile on his face was a little silly.
He looked very excited.
"Qiqi. Call me again."
"dad."
This time the girl obviously screamed more smoothly.
"Call again!"
"dad."
"Call again!"
"dad."
The man's emotions infected the girl, who also grinned.
The sound from the exit became louder and clearer.
"Again-"
"Are you done yet?"
The woman who had been watching quietly from the side wiped the tears from her eyes and interrupted the man's childish behavior with a funny voice.
She was not unaware of the man's excitement at this time, and she was also very excited.
Two years later, the child finally made a voice again.
This is such a happy thing.
But... too many times.
She was worried that if no one stopped him, the man could say "do it again" countless times.
He was not tired when he spoke, and the child was tired when he answered.
…
The man smiled sheepishly.
He knew that he was too excited.
However, his daughter spoke again!
How could he not be excited?
For a moment, the man just looked at his daughter and smiled stupidly.
…
The woman shook her head.
He is indeed a stupid father.
"Qiqi."
The woman softened her voice a little, and when talking to the child, she always became more gentle without realizing it.
Especially after knowing that the child was abused by his stepmother.
The sympathy in my heart deepened even more.
Why is this child so in trouble?
I lost my mother at a young age...I watched her leave with my own eyes...
It’s a huge blow to an adult, let alone a child?
…
When her second brother remarried, she actually deliberately observed Yuan Yuan.
After all, being a stepmother is not easy.
In particular, Qiqi is a somewhat special child.
In the end, she still made a mistake.
Yuan Yuan's gentleness and modesty at that time confused her.
Unexpectedly, she was black inside.
As expected, it is difficult to paint the skin of a tiger, and it is difficult to know the face of a person but not the heart.
In vain, she thought that her second brother had married a good wife and Qiqi had a good stepmother.
…
Fortunately, even God cannot stand the suffering of this child.
Yuan Yuan suddenly contracted a strange disease, and everything came to light.
The child was saved.
In the future, they will be more careful and cautious so that the same thing will not happen again.
Such a good child obviously deserves more kindness and love...
"You can talk again, right?"
...
"Um."
The girl smiled and rolled her eyes, her hoarse voice full of lightness.
It was her father's reaction just now that made her truly realize that she could speak again!
Before, she was just sad about Strawberry's departure, and she didn't have much sense of reality that she could speak again.
But now, seeing the excited and joyful expressions of her father and aunt, she also became happy.
…
"Qiqi, call me aunt."
After receiving the girl's affirmative answer, the woman's worries completely dissipated.
She made the request with a smile.
She hadn't heard this child call her aunt in two years.
I really miss it.
"aunt."
The girl shouted loudly.
"Why."
The woman responded with a smile.
"Qiqi, you-"
"Stop it."
The woman interrupted the man rudely.
"Qiqi has called you several times."
The man sneered.
"The child has just started talking, so it's better not to talk too much all at once."
"After all, we haven't spoken to each other in two years."
"Listen, the voices are all mute."
Speaking of this, the woman became a little anxious, "Look at me, your father has led me astray."
"I just want you to call me."
"Come on, Qiqi, go sit in the living room first."
"Auntie will give you some water."
"Drink water first."
"Auntie will prepare whatever you want to drink later..."
The woman stood up and kept mumbling.
"Alin, take Qiqi to the living room."
After saying this, the woman walked quickly to the kitchen.
The man bent down, picked up the girl, and shook the girl in his arms. The girl couldn't help but giggle.
The man confirmed again that the child had really recovered.
In the past two years, he has also played with children like this, but it was more like his one-man show.
Now, listening to his daughter's laughter in his ears, the man is in an unprecedented good mood.
"Let's go, Qiqi."
"Let's go to the living room."
…
Looking at the departing father and daughter, Chi Xiuchuan smiled helplessly, "Master Xiao, it seems we have been forgotten."
Xiao Xiao shrugged, "Let's go."
He raised his feet and followed the father and daughter in front of him.
Chi Xiuchuan also followed.
…
The girl held the water glass and drank several large gulps of water.
The warm and just right water flowed down her throat, and the girl narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Qiqi, eat some fruit."
The woman pushed several plates of washed and cut fruits on the coffee table towards the girl.
There are many types of fruits.
There are grapes, oranges, pears...and strawberries.
Staring at the strawberry, the smile on the girl's face faded a bit.
Strawberry...ah.
The girl was a little stunned.
…
"Qiqi?"
Sensing the change in the girl's mood, the man couldn't help but asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
"Are you feeling unwell?"
The woman reached out and touched the child's forehead.
The girl shook her head, "No."
But his expression was a little mismatched.
"Then why are you not energetic?"
The man became increasingly worried.
"Strawberries... I like eating strawberries the most."
The girl said in a low tone.
"ah?"
The woman was puzzled.
What does it mean?
Why can't she understand clearly?
Except for the woman, everyone else present understood what the girl meant.
Men too.
Although he was stunned for a moment, he soon remembered who this strawberry was.
Aren’t they just children’s little animal friends?
So this is ah.
The man suddenly felt enlightened.
When he saw classmate Xiao getting off the bus downstairs without animals around him, he was worried that his daughter, who was full of expectations at home, would be disappointed.
When he was in the elevator, including entering the house, he had been thinking about how to explain to his daughter that the strawberry didn't come.
However, Master Xiao suddenly said that he wanted to talk to his daughter...
