Before she had time to make a choice, she clearly felt someone pushing her body and shouting:
"Zhang Ling, Zhang Ling, wake up quickly!"
She opened her eyes in confusion and looked at Yan Yuan sitting next to her and asked:
"What, what's wrong?"
She clearly felt the dryness in her throat, and it was a little difficult to even make a sound.
Dream, was that just her dream?
This is too true.
She did feel extremely thirsty.
However, she felt that this dream was not like a simple dream.
It was more like foreshadowing some answer for her.
Yan Yuan casually took a glass of water from the bedside table and said to her reluctantly:
"How dare you say that? You didn't get up to drink water by yourself when you were thirsty. You kept yelling in my ear. I became your exclusive maid and had to get up in the middle of the night to pour you water. Here, quickly
Get up and drink the water."
"Midnight?" Zhang Ling also sat up and glanced at the bedside alarm clock. The time was around two in the morning.
"Isn't that right? My uncle must have put too much salt in the egg soup last night. Take it and drink it. Your lips are a little chapped." Yan Yuan put the water in front of her and said.
"Oh." Zhang Ling reached out and took the water glass.
Yan Yuan watched her drinking like a cow drinking water, and kindly reminded her:
"Slow down, no one will fight you. I brought a liter of water, and there is half a liter of water on the bedside table, which is enough for you to drink alone."
A liter of water!
coincide?
It seems like I no longer have to choose.
Yan Yuan has already made a choice for her.
After drinking the current liter of water, she understood a truth.
Although tea is good, when you are extremely hungry and thirsty, a sip of tea cannot quench your thirst.
"Thank you!" Zhang Ling said to Yan Yuan with a smile.
Yan Yuan said with airs:
"Don't thank me. I also remember that you brought me tea and water when I was sick."
Zhang Ling continued to smile and said nothing. Although Yan Yuan didn't know what she was thanking, she was happy to have such a good friend.
Future day.
Li wanted to ask Yan Yuan to help ask what happened to Zhang Ling?
What he didn't expect was that after delivering the nutritional supplements, he didn't receive an answer, and even Yan Yuan who asked the question couldn't be contacted.
I originally thought that Zhang Ling’s group would take the initiative to seek cooperation with Zhihua Technology.
He could also take the opportunity to ask Zhang Ling face to face what happened?
Zhang Ling, however, sent two additional people to contact Zhihua Technology.
This made his plan of face-to-face questioning also come to nothing.
Now it’s time for Xiaodouzi’s parent-child sports meeting.
He felt that with Zhang Ling's character, since she had promised the child, she would not break her promise to the child.
So Li Xiang secretly made up his mind to seize this opportunity.
He came half an hour earlier than the agreed time and looked around at Xiaodouzi's figure at the school gate.
"Are you Xiaodouzi's father?" A little girl looked at him admiringly and asked.
He leaned over with some doubts and said:
"I am. Are you..."
"I am Xiaodouzi's best friend in school, A Shuang. She suddenly went to the bathroom in a hurry and asked me to come over first to pick you up and take you to the competition site."
"Oh." Li Xiang smiled broadly, as if the little girl was an adult, and stretched out his hand to shake her, "Hello, little Ashuang!"
Ah Shuang was very happy when she saw this and stretched out her hand and said:
"Uncle, you are so beautiful!"
"Thank you!" Li Xiang was very happy to hear the praise from the child.
"My mother often says that the more beautiful a man is, the more likely he is to lie. So she always tells me to stay away from beautiful men. Uncle, are you a liar?"
Although it was a child's talk, Li Xiang's smile froze when he heard Ah Shuang's words, and he still felt extremely uncomfortable inside.
"This..." He was thinking about how to answer Ashuang's question.
Ah Shuang didn't care whether Li Xiang answered or not, she still looked at him like a nymphomaniac and continued with a bit of mystery:
"Uncle, let me tell you a secret quietly. Ashuang, like father, never listens to mother."
"Yeah?"
He really wanted to persuade Ah Shuang to listen to his parents out of habit, but it was about his reputation and he could only hold back.
Ah Shuang then said with a smile:
"So Ah Shuang doesn't believe that the more beautiful a man is, the more likely he is to lie. Since uncle is Xiaodouzi's father, Ah Shuang likes his uncle just as much as Xiaodouzi."
"Thank you for liking it, little Ashang." Li wanted to say.
"Let's go, I'll take you to find Xiaodouzi." As Shuang spoke, she took Li Xiang's hand and walked toward the school. "Uncle, there are many people today. Please follow me closely and don't get lost."
"Okay!" Li Xiang smiled bitterly and was led away by Ashuang like a puppet on strings.
However, he felt from the bottom of his heart that this A Shuang was really interesting.
Talk like an adult.
He was actually worried that he, an adult, would get lost.
Although sometimes adults get lost, Li Xiang didn't want to be underestimated by a child.
Ah Shuang held Li Xiang's hand and walked through the crowd on campus. Perhaps the little girl was a bit short and couldn't see the landmark building, so she lost her way.
Li Xiang clearly felt that he was being led around the campus by Ashuang for nearly half an hour.
Now Xiaodouzi is the key point in easing the relationship between him and Zhang Ling.
He didn't want Xiaodouzi to be unhappy because of his lateness and cause trouble when he was talking to Zhang Ling.
"Wait a minute! Ah Shuang, wait."
Ah Shuang stopped, sweating profusely and said:
"Uncle, we can't wait. I just heard on the radio that Xiaodouzi's competition is about to start. We can't be late. Let's go, let's go quickly, we have to hurry up."
Li wanted to drag the anxious Ashuang and said:
"Little A-Shuang, listen to me. I found you pulling me around in circles."
Although Ah Shuang didn't want to admit it, she did feel this way.
After listening to Li Xiang clarifying the matter, her little face turned red instantly.
"That... that... what should I do? I'm confused too. It only took me less than five minutes to pass through this area when I came out. Now, now..."
Li Xiang looked at Ah Shuang who was about to cry in anxiety, and comforted him with some distress:
"Don't worry. There will always be a way. Can you tell me where the tennis court is?"
Xiaodouzi's competition venue is at the tennis court. When Ashuang took her around in a circle, Li wanted to hear it on the radio.
Ah Shuang looked around at the crowd of people and cried:
"I, I don't know anymore."
Everyone around him turned their attention to him, making Li Xiang look like a bad guy who bullied children into crying.
There are even "righteous and well-meaning passers-by" who don't know the situation, accusing him of why he bullied such a beautiful daughter into tears?
"Uncle, don't blame him. He is not my father. It's all my fault that I got lost."
Ah Shuang's defense seemed to have nailed Li Xiang to the wall of shame.
"What a wonderful daughter! I'm still defending you as a father. I think you're lost. If you, a father, don't find your own way, why would you force a child to do so? It's too much!"
After the righteous and well-meaning passersby finished accusing him rhythmically, more people around him joined in the accusing camp.
Li Xiang listened to the overwhelming accusations, and he was afraid that only he knew the pain in his heart.
Both he and Ashuang wanted to explain the truth of the matter.
Just because these so-called righteous passers-by were too enthusiastic, they were not given any chance to explain.
Li Xiang glanced at the time on his watch and saw that the time for the game was getting closer and closer.
no solution anymore.
We can't waste any more time with these irrelevant passers-by.
He leaned over and picked up A Shuang. A Shuang excitedly identified the direction. Li Xiang broke out of the encirclement like a warrior and rushed towards Xiaodouzi's competition site.
Xiaodouzi looked at Li Xiang, who was sweating profusely and hugging Ah Shuang who was smiling, and she felt inexplicably uncomfortable inside.
She recalled in her mind that in Disneyland, Li Xiang held her in his arms and ran among various entertainment facilities. At that time, she was smiling as happily as Shuang.
Xiaodouzi admitted that sitting in Li Xiang's arms gave her an unprecedented sense of security, which was why she could laugh unbridled.
dad!
Yes, especially when I call him daddy, there will always be a warm current in my heart.
She knew that the warm current was the feeling of happiness.
It was also a feeling she had never experienced before.
Dad, this word is addictive.
Because she was obsessed with the happy feeling when calling her daddy, she always unconsciously wanted to call him daddy every time she saw Li Xiang.
"Dad, hurry up! My game will be considered a forfeit soon." Xiaodouzi complained.
Li Xiang bent down and put Ah Shuang down and said:
"Oh, really? Sorry, there were too many people and we got lost. So what should I do first?"
A Shuang smiled and ran over, took Xiaodouzi's hand and said:
"I'm sorry, Xiaodouzi. It's all my fault. I got lost and took your father in circles around the football field."
Xiaodouzi shook A Shuang's hand away almost instinctively, stepped forward and took Li Xiang's hand with an unhappy face and said:
"Dad, I want a hug too!"
Li Xiang looked at Xiaodouzi's reaction and wanted to scold him with an unhappy expression.
But before Li Xiang could open his mouth to reprimand, the smart Ashuang seemed to understand what Xiaodouzi meant.
The little girl stood behind Xiaodouzi with an aggrieved look on her face and pulled her clothes and said:
"Xiaodouzi, don't be angry! I swear I have no intention of taking away your father's possessions. Your father is simply holding me to get to you as quickly as possible."
"Yes, Ashuang is right." Li Xiang agreed and turned to Xiaodouzi, "How could you do this to your friend? Xiaodouzi, apologize to your friend quickly."
Xiaodouzi could be at odds with Ah Shuang because of him, and his heart felt warm at the same time. It felt a bit like watching two adult women competing for his favor and jealousy.
Xiaodouzi turned around to look at Ah Shuang with a look of reluctance. Ah Shuang suddenly turned around and said "No need" with tears in his eyes, and then ran away without a trace.
"No need now." Xiaodouzi said this, but he suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart, and then looked at Li Xiang, "Dad, hurry up! Hold me and register for the competition. Otherwise, it will really happen."
That's too late."
Li Xiang looked at Ashuang's retreating figure and said with a bit of worry:
"She ran away like this, nothing will happen to her."
"Do I know where she will go? When the game is over, I will go find her immediately." Xiaodouzi said.
Li Xiang had no choice but to hug Xiaodouzi up like he had hugged Ashuang before, looked around for a while and asked:
"Where's your mom?"
"Mom?" Xiaodouzi didn't dare to look at Li Xiang and looked away. "Mom just said that she was going to prepare some water for me. Our competition event is the Kangaroo Mother Run. You will definitely be very thirsty after the competition."
This parent-child game only requires the child's father to crawl on his hands and knees, while the child puts his hands around his father's neck and hangs upside down on his father's waist with his legs.
The father moves with the child like a kangaroo mother, and the child has to hang on the father to ensure that he does not fall off. In the end, which parent and child will be the first to complete the specified distance.
Li Xianglai also made a game guide for this school before.
He really didn't expect Xiaodouzi to choose such a competition event.
Because this project is mainly too strenuous for dad.
Similarly, it can also exercise the child's limb muscle strength, neck support, visual spatial sense, etc.
No matter what? Since I promised Xiaodouzi, I must be a good father.
But he was still a little worried and asked:
"Xiaodouzi, do you really think you can hold on until the end of the game without falling off?"
"Of course. Xiaodouzi thinks dad, you should still worry about being a qualified kangaroo mother. Look, other dads competing in the competition are tall and strong. If you look at yourself, dad, it's like a drawing.
The little one described..."
When Xiaodouzi said this, he suddenly got stuck and didn't dare to continue.
Because she suddenly remembered the promise she made to her parents.
"Say! Just keep talking. What does dad look like?" Li Xiang said with a deliberately gloomy face.
When Li Xiang listened to Xiaodouzi's words, why did he feel so familiar?
Isn't this the sentence structure of "other people's children"?
He heard a lot of such words when he was a child, but now that he has grown up, he is actually disliked by Xiaodouzi using similar sentence patterns.
God, what evil has he done?
Li Xiang screamed strongly in his heart.
"Stop talking. I'm sorry, Dad, I know I was wrong." Xiaodouzi said with a guilty look on his face.
Li Xiang said with a kind smile:
"For the sake of your good attitude in admitting your mistake, I won't argue with you this time."
I registered with the referee, received my number plate, and waited to participate in the next round of competition.
During this period, Li Xiang looked around for Zhang Ling more than once.
Every time I ask Xiaodouzi where did Zhang Ling go to prepare water?
Xiaodouzi always deliberately changed the topic to talk about competition skills.
…
His parent-child competition with Xiaodouzi is over.
The two of them were lucky enough to take third place.
Xiaodouzi was so happy that she gave Li Xiang a passionate kiss.
The kiss from Xiaodouzi made Li Xiang fall in love with this daughter he picked up for free even more.
Xiaodouzi's cheeks were red, she looked a bit like a girl in love for the first time, kissing her boyfriend for the first time.
However, Li Xiang did not see Zhang Ling until the end of the game.
He was a little thirsty and squatted in front of his daughter and asked:
"Xiaodouzi, as promised, your mother has gone to buy water. Where is the person?"
"I'm lost. Yes, I must be lost. Dad, weren't you already lost when you came?" the clever little Douzi quickly explained.
This reason does make sense.
"Is that really the case?"
But at this time Li Xiang began to have doubts about this reason.
"Dad, don't worry. You are here waiting to receive the award. Xiaodouzi will go find his mother right now."
Li Xiang looked at Xiaodouzi's retreating back, and vaguely felt that the little girl seemed to have fled through nowhere.
Sure enough, after receiving the award, he received a call from Xiaodouzi.
The little girl used the excuse that Zhang Ling had something to do and left early.
He also said that the prizes from the competition would be left with him for now.
Because Ah Shuang is crying so much now, Xiaodouzi must stay with her.
Li Xiang did hear a little girl crying on the phone.
So it was hard for him to say anything more.
He still failed to achieve his final goal. He held the prizes and certificates obtained by Xiaodouzi in his hands, but he couldn't be happy at all.
