"You eat without talking, you sleep without talking."
Before Ruanruan could get Ruan Bai's answer, she heard Mu Shaoling's deep voice, educating herself.
She protested dissatisfied, "Dad, I haven't eaten yet."
Ruan Bai laughed and touched his soft hair, "Eat it quickly, baby, it won't taste good when it gets cold."
Ruanruan smiled sweetly and said obediently: "Mom, I understand."
Mu Shaoling looked at the hot instant noodles and two soft-boiled eggs. They were made with the same care as before. He picked up the chopsticks, took a big bite, and commented, "It's delicious."
Ruan Bai handed the fork to Taotao. He was still young and couldn't use chopsticks well. Hearing the man's comment, he was satisfied, "Your stomach is so easy to satisfy."
"It's the food you made that satisfied me." Mu Shaoling corrected.
Ruan Bai lowered his head slightly and took a bite of noodles. They were obviously ordinary food. Their family of five felt happy after eating them.
…
The other side.
Dong Zijun drove the drunk and unconscious Zhou Xiaosu home.
Although she had moved out of Li Ni's villa long ago and never told him her new address, Dong Zijun had always been concerned about the dynamics of the three of them, mother and daughter, and knew the address of her new home by heart.
Many nights when he couldn't sleep, he would drive here alone, watch the lights on the floor go out, and accompany him silently downstairs.
It's not that I don't want to go upstairs, I'm just afraid of Zhou Xiaosu's disgusted eyes.
Dong Zijun parked the car downstairs and smiled bitterly. When did he become like a coward?
When Bai Zhen filed for divorce, he had never been cowardly.
Facing Zhou Xiaosu and his twin daughters, he became inexplicably timid. He wanted to give them a better life, but was stopped by Zhou Xiaosu's disgusted eyes and poisonous words.
"Oh, drink!" Zhou Xiaosu was still drunk, and all his talk in his sleep was about drinking.
Dong Zijun came over, looked at her drunken red face, and shook his head helplessly.
She obviously couldn't drink, but she still drank so much. This look made him not want to misunderstand that she was just drinking to relieve her worries.
Zhou Xiaosu suddenly raised his hand, waved it around a few times, smacked his mouth and cursed: "Dong Zijun, you bastard! Coward! I raise my daughter by myself, get out... get out."
"Xiao Su..." Dong Zijun was so scolded that his heart ached. He had always wanted to mend his relationship with Zhou Xiaosu, but Bai Zhen kept disrupting the situation, making him feel disgraced every time.
Zhou Xiaosu didn't respond to him. It seemed that he was really drunk.
Dong Zijun unbuckled their seat belts, got out of the car, and opened the passenger door.
Zhou Xiaosu was not heavy, so he easily carried her out and kicked the car door shut with one foot.
In order to avoid being harassed by Bai Zhen, the community where Zhou Xiaosu lives is relatively high-end. Generally, unfamiliar vehicles are not allowed to enter without the consent of the owner. His license plate is not registered and can only be parked on the roadside, so he carries him inside.
.
The security uncle recognized Zhou Xiaosu and Dong Zijun, so he did not stop them.
Dong Zijun held her in his arms. Fortunately, there was an elderly couple at the elevator entrance to help him, and he walked into the elevator smoothly.
After reporting out of the floor, the aunt helped press the button and asked curiously: "Is this your wife?"
Dong Zijun's heartstrings twitched slightly and he admitted: "Yes."
If it weren't for Bai Zhen's interference, he and Zhou Xiaosu would have already registered their marriage and lived together.
The aunt gossiped again: "How could you let your wife get so drunk? Drinking too much is bad for this woman's health. Really, you didn't help to stop her."
Dong Zijun was a little embarrassed by her education. The uncle on the side took his wife's hand and said: "You know that the young man didn't help? Maybe his wife was happy to drink so much?"
The aunt looked shrewd and said, "Do you even know this? The young man is in good spirits, but he doesn't look like he's drunk. You, an old man, can't walk even after drinking. He's not energetic."
"Ahem, that's because I'm old." The uncle said.
"Knowing that your health is not as good as other people's, why do you drink so much? Are you really afraid that you will get drunk and have a stroke on the road one day, and passers-by will not dare to save you for fear of being held responsible." The aunt rambled, dissatisfied.
"What do you know? Have a drink and enjoy yourself."
The two of them exchanged words with each other, ranging from why Dong Zijun didn't help Zhou Xiaosu stop drinking, to common conversation, and then to the point where they were about to quarrel.
Dong Zijun felt embarrassed.
Even Zhou Xiaosu in his arms became irritable and buried her head in his chest, as if she was not happy to hear what the couple said.
Fortunately, the elevator rose quickly and soon reached the floor where Zhou Xiaosu's apartment was located.
The aunt and uncle were still arguing, Dong Zijun walked out of the elevator quickly to avoid being affected and to avoid them waking up Zhou Xiaosu.
When he arrived at Block A, he ran into trouble again.
The twins and the nanny must be asleep at this time. If they knock on the door directly, they will definitely be woken up, and the children may be worried when they see Zhou Xiaosu is so drunk.
Dong Zijun couldn't bear to let his biological daughters worry.
He gently put down Zhou Xiaosu and put one hand around her waist.
Zhou Xiaosu subconsciously leaned towards him, like a caterpillar, so weak that she could only cling to him.
The familiar aroma mixed with the smell of alcohol filled Dong Zijun's nostrils, and his heartbeat accelerated. It was also the same scent that filled the nostrils on the night when he met Zhou Xiaosu many years ago. It made him entranced, and his cells began to scream.
, the desire for the owner of the scent.
Dong Zijun didn't dare to do anything, let alone have other ideas at this moment.
He took out the key from his handbag with one hand and opened the door.
Before he could pull out the key from the door lock, Zhou Xiaosu bumped forward.
Dong Zijun immediately pulled up, but he tripped over the threshold, and both of them fell to the floor, making a loud noise.
Zhou Xiaosu lay on his chest until she was drunk and unconscious.
Dong Zijun felt extremely painful in the front and back of his body.
The nanny was startled awake by the sound, immediately turned on the light and walked out. When she saw the two people on the floor, she exclaimed, "Miss Zhou, Mr. Dong, what's wrong with you?"
Dong Zijun was reluctant to push Zhou Xiaosu away, fearing that it would hurt her if she rested on the floor, so he struggled to say: "Xiao Su is drunk, come and help."
The nanny immediately stepped forward to help.
Dong Zijun sat up with difficulty and worked with the nanny to help Zhou Xiaosu to the bedroom.
The movements of the two were so big that they woke up the twin sisters long ago.
Da Zhou held his sister Xiao Zhou's hand, blinked his eyes and exclaimed, "Dad, you're here!"
After Dong Zijun pulled the quilt on Zhou Xiaosu, he squatted down, looked at his twin daughters, and made a quiet gesture, "Don't disturb mom."
He led the two children out of the bedroom and closed the door.
Xiao Zhou asked: "Dad, is mom not feeling well?"
"No, she drank a little and was drunk. She is not feeling uncomfortable. Xiao Zhou, don't worry." Dong Zijun looked at his twin daughters with a complicated mood.
They didn't live together, but he could tell at a glance which one was the older sister and which one was the younger sister.
