Listening to Zhang Xiaochen's even breathing, Tang Xiaofeng slowly pulled out his hand without waking up the sleeping Zhang Xiaochen, then turned off the light and quietly exited the room.
Tang Xiaofeng returned to his home and found Lu Rui sitting on the sofa, and Lu Rui was the boss who inspected the workshop that day.
Tang Xiaofeng didn't speak, and just walked to his room.
"Why did you come back so late?"
Lu Rui's question stopped Tang Xiaofeng in his tracks. He didn't look at Lu Rui and just answered with his back to him.
"I went to see a friend."
Tang Xiaofeng looked very calm when facing Lu Rui's questions.
"I heard that you often go to the workshop to meet a girl recently."
After Tang Xiaofeng heard this, he turned his head and looked at Lu Rui without saying anything.
"Do you have feelings for her?"
"Just friends."
"That"
"Can you please leave it alone, at least for now?"
Zhang Xiaofeng's tone of voice was very light, neither warm nor cold, and he couldn't hear the emotion, anger, sorrow or joy at all.
"If there is nothing else, I will go back to the room first. It is late at night, so you should go to bed earlier and stay up less. You always stay up late, which is not good for your health."
After Tang Xiaofeng finished speaking, he returned to his room without hesitation, and he closed the door softly.
Lu Rui sighed deeply and wanted to say something, but he didn't.
Lu Rui felt a heartbreaking feeling of powerlessness rushing through his body. He covered his heart and felt a deep sense of frustration.
"dad."
Lu Yanning came out of the room when she heard the words and happened to see this scene. She walked up and sat next to Lu Rui and rubbed his chest.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Lu Yanning's face was full of complicated meanings:
"Dad, second brother, what the hell is this? I've been like this every day since I came back."
Lu Rui took a sip of water to suppress the sting in his heart:
"It's fate. Let's wait until your elder brother comes back. I can't help myself."
"Dad, do you think my second brother has fallen in love with that girl?"
Lu Yanning asked in a sad and probing tone:
Lu Rui took a deep breath:
"That girl, I think, must be the girl who clung to him in the orphanage. Because of this girl, he was not willing to come back with me. He only came back for a year later, and the girl left the orphanage when she reached the age
, your brother has gone back again, I didn’t expect that after all these years, this girl has become slim and graceful.”
Lu Rui sighed, thinking that he gave Tang Xiaofeng away because of poor life, which was a pain for their family. Later, Lu Rui started his own business and finally developed, so he wanted to find Tang Xiaofeng back. However, after some inquiries, he found that Tang Xiaofeng
Tang Xiaofeng's adoptive father and adoptive mother both died in a car accident that year. However, none of the relatives of Tang Xiaofeng's adoptive father and adoptive mother were willing to raise him. Then he was sent to the orphanage. When he went to the orphanage to pick up Tang Xiaofeng, Tang Xiaofeng was unwilling to come back with him.
And because he was sent away at a young age when he was only half a year old, he had no memory of Lu Rui. At that time, Zhang Xiaochen, who was full of milk, followed Tang Xiaofeng, tugging at the corner of his clothes.
Finally, after being dissuaded by the dean, Tang Xiaofeng was not forcibly taken away, but he would come back to take a look from time to time. Tang Xiaofeng gradually let go of his defenses, but still resented Lu Rui.
As Tang Xiaofeng grew up day by day, Lu Rui's business became better and better day by day, and he became busy. Later, he had no time to visit Tang Xiaofeng again.
"But I felt that the girl was stupid. I heard that I went to look for her again today, but she asked for leave, and I couldn't find her. Later, I didn't come back. I don't know where she went."
Lu Yanning seemed a little jealous.
"You are still young, you will understand later."
Lu Rui touched Lu Yanning's head and rubbed her hair.
"You should go to bed early and run out if there is any movement. Everything is your fault."
Lu Yanning pulled off Lu Rui's hand.
"Okay, okay, I'm going to rest. You should also rest early. You keep poking my head, do you want me to grow taller?"
Lu Rui said fondly:
"He's pretty good for his height. He's small and cute. Why are he so tall? He just touches the pole every time he takes a step."
"Oh, Dad, you don't understand. If you want to grow taller, you want to be a royal sister, and you don't want to be a loli who can't even touch the ground after being lifted up."
Lu Yanning pouted and then returned to her room.
Lu Rui looked at his precious daughter, shook his head, then got up and went back to his room.
But as soon as Lu Rui entered his room and closed the door, Lu Yanning jumped out again and entered Tang Xiaofeng's room with her arms raised.
Tang Xiaofeng, who was sorting things out, heard the sound of the door opening and frowned dissatisfied. He was wondering if Lu Rui was going to say something long to him again. He turned his head impatiently. Just as he was about to speak, he found that
It was Lu Yanning who got in.
"Why did you come into my room when you didn't sleep at night?"
Tang Xiaofeng put down what he was doing, then sat on the bed, still frowning, not unhappy, but full of helplessness.
After Lu Yanning came in, she called her brother playfully, and then she slammed her butt down on the bed.
With a muffled sound, Tang Xiaofeng felt that the bed was about to collapse.
"Is it time for you to lose weight? When you get off your butt, my bed is accusing you."
"Oh, second brother, don't say that. How can I be so fat? I look so petite and cute."
After saying that, he smiled with a harmless look on his face.
"Okay, let's not be careless. Tell me, you went into my room in the middle of the night. What do you plan to do?"
Lu Yanning swung her legs and put her hands on the bed, looking sideways at Tang Xiaofeng, with a look of ill-intention on her face, and said:
"Yes, I have something to do. Second brother, let me ask you a question. Do you have a girl you like? And it's the girl in the factory that you have been seeing all the time."
After Tang Xiaofeng heard this, he narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to flick it down on Lu Yanning's forehead. Lu Yanning couldn't dodge in time and hit the jackpot. Lu Yanning freed up a hand to rub it.
"Ouch, second brother, what are you doing? Just say it, right?"
"If you don't study hard, who taught you these crooked things to make you think wildly."
"You can't have such wild thoughts. You do it so obviously every day. Everyone in the workshop can see it."
Tang Xiaofeng didn't speak at first, and then explained calmly:
"Dad asked you to come here to check in. Don't think too much about it, you two. We are just ordinary friends. We just met each other not long ago."
"We're new acquaintances. Dad thought he was a very close friend of yours when we were young."
Lu Yanning stretched her legs vigorously.
"Stop shaking it. If you shake it again, it will really become a bed."
"Brother, you must have done it on purpose. You have been calling me fat since I came in. Huh, that's too much. You just don't entertain me after you come back from a trip."
"Did I never say you were fat?"
"You criticize Sang and Huai every day!"
"Why did I criticize Sang and Huai again?"
"You keep worrying about your bed, aren't you just saying I'm fat?"
Tang Xiaofeng felt ashamed. A woman who could talk well was really hard to mess with. It was better to be a silly girl with a clumsy mouth.
"Okay, you are a scholar, you should be well-organized, you are not fat. You have to work all day long, don't mess around, think about so many useless things, it's already what time, and you haven't slept yet, come here and hurry up
Go back and have a good rest, you see the dark circles under your eyes are getting worse."
"You just dislike me. Now that you have a beautiful girl, you forget about your pretty sister, huh."
Tang Xiaofeng had a dark look on his face, but he still had to coax this sister:
"I don't dislike you now. You should go and rest quickly. Otherwise, if you stay up late and become ugly, I will really dislike you."
"Chengchengcheng, don't chase me away. Can't you do it if I leave? You should take a shower early and rest for a while. I'll go back to my room."
Lu Yanning jumped out of bed and walked out. He didn't hold her back. He stood up and closed the door, then turned back and looked at the photo lying flat on the bedside table.
That was a photo of him and Zhang Xiaochen when they were young.
