A bonfire burns on the beach in the distance.
It was extremely quiet in the old hotel.
Shi Xiaonian looked at the moonlight, but did not wait for Feng De's answer, but heard Su Yaoyao's choked voice, "If you don't want to answer, then forget it. After I go back, I will go back to the country."
"You said so."
Feng De's voice sounded a little bit resigned to his fate, which made people feel distressed.
"Yes, I've always said that. My adoptive parents treated me as their own and never thought of hiding my life experience. When I came out to find my biological mother, they didn't object at all." Su Yaoyao said, " My mother fought hard to give me birth and send me away. My adoptive parents have taken care of me for decades, so I naturally want to repay them."
Shi Xiaonian frowned when she heard this. From Su Yaoyao's point of view, what she said was not wrong at all. She knew how to remember her mother's kindness in life and the kindness of her adoptive parents in raising her. For her, only conferring virtues on her could not Any grace.
Shi Xiaonian stood at the door, biting her lip. She wanted to go in and say something, but she stopped.
“…”
Feng De said nothing but "you said so" and remained silent.
Probably because Feng De remained silent, Su Yaoyao gradually became more speechless. She took two steps back and said, "That's it, I've said all I need to say."
Immediately afterwards, Shi Xiaonian watched Su Yaoyao run out of the hotel crying with her face covered. The little girl didn't look very mature.
Staring at Su Yaoyao's back, Shi Xiaonian turned around and walked into the hotel, walked slowly to the stairs, walked up a few steps, sat down on the steps, and looked at Feng De with one eye, "Father."
Feng De was sitting there leaning against the wall, wearing a neat suit, holding a pocket watch in one hand, staring at the wooden stairs with his eyes lowered.
It's so quiet.
It was so quiet that Xiao Nian could hear the sound in the pocket watch clearly.
She followed Feng De's gaze and saw some vague carvings, carvings from ancient times.
I love you.
Me too.
“…”
When she first saw this sentence, Shi Xiaonian thought it was too simple and plain, but now that she thought about it, it was the most shocking confession.
Because I love you, I am willing to give everything for you. I am not afraid of living, not afraid of death, and I am not afraid of living or dying.
Shi Xiaonian blinked her sour eyes, sat up a step, and rested her head on Feng De's knees, leaning on her gently.
Feng De sat there, moved his hand holding the pocket watch, looked down at her, moved his dry lips slightly, and said hoarsely, "Go and rest, we will really leave tomorrow."
"I'm here with you."
Shi Xiaonian said, with a somewhat stubborn tone.
"What are you doing with me?" Feng De said.
What does he have to keep company with? Angelina leaves him and Yaoyao will leave too. This is his retribution.
Shi Xiaonian leaned on his knees, staring at the carvings on the stairs, and said softly and slowly, "When I was first with Gong Ou, my whole person seemed to have fallen into a dark life, despair, pain, and gloom. , very strange, it was my adoptive father who gave me the first light."
“…”
Feng De's body trembled slightly.
"I don't know what my adoptive father means to others." Shi Xiaonian whispered, "I only know that I can't live without my adoptive father. Every time I have an awkward quarrel with Gong Ou, I have my adoptive father to comfort me; Gong Ou When I disappeared for four years, I was accompanied by my adoptive father; when I came to the UK to meet the twins and faced a strange Gong family, I had my adoptive father to encourage me; in the future, I will also have my adoptive father by my side. If I don’t have my adoptive father, what should I do? How to do it?"
Her voice is very light, and when it reaches a certain level, it turns into a backlog of weight.
Feng De looked down at her, and Xiao Nian knew very well what he was thinking and what he was desperate for. He slowly raised his hand, gently placed it on her long silky hair, and said, "Xiao Nian, You have the young master with you."
"Gong Ou is my whole world, but in this world, we all need an adoptive father." Shi Xiaonian said, with red eyes, "Without the adoptive father, how will Gong Ou's daily life be done? He is so picky, and the furniture is all gone. They have to put them at an angle, and don’t wear clothes if they are a little wrinkled. There are also some financial matters. He is too picky. If a decimal point is marked wrong, he will get angry. If there is no adoptive father, Gong Ou will probably start several world wars around him. "
"Ah."
Hearing this, Feng De smiled, he could think of that tragic scene.
Hearing Feng De's low laughter, Shi Xiaonian felt a little more relaxed. She rested her head on his knee and continued, "We really need our adoptive father so much. Sometimes we really don't want you to be so tired, and we don't want you to be the housekeeper." work, but without you, we are all in disarray."
Shi Xiaonian already understood what she meant. Feng De looked down at her and smiled.
If Shi Xiaonian raised his head, he could see how pale and desperate Feng De's smile was. There was no light in his eyes. After a long time, Feng De gently patted Shi Xiaonian's back and said hoarsely, "Xiao Nian, I I know what you want to say, don’t worry, if you call me foster father, I won’t leave you alone.”
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian, who had been panicking for a few days, suddenly calmed down. How could it be possible if he was not afraid that Feng De would do something stupid? This time he came to the island, Feng De was hit hard.
"Father, thank you."
Shi Xiaonian said with infinite gratitude.
"I can't let go of you and the young master. I watched the young master grow up. Unless one day I train another butler, I will not leave you." Feng De said.
"No one can replace him."
Shi Xiaonian's voice was slightly choked.
How could anyone replace the adoptive father? No one can, no one can. The adoptive father is the adoptive father, the only one, an almighty housekeeper, a gentle and gentlemanly old man.
"Idiot." Feng De chuckled, "Okay, go and rest quickly. You haven't closed your eyes at the funeral for the past two days. I know you are worried about me. I'm really fine."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian refused to leave.
"Go ahead." Feng De patted her and said, "Before leaving, I just want to stay here for one night. At that time, Angelina and I sat here for a long, long time."
After Feng De said this, Shi Xiaonian couldn't stay any longer. She raised her face to look at Feng De's face and said, "Okay, can I make breakfast for you tomorrow morning?"
"good."
Feng De nodded.
"Um."
Feng De has always been true to his promises, and he will never change his promises. Hearing such a promise, Shi Xiaonian felt relieved.
Just get out of here.
Everything is over.
All the sadness will slowly disappear with the demise of the Berg family, she believes so.
When Xiaonian turned around and left, she suddenly heard Feng De's voice behind her, "Did you hear what Yaoyao said?"
Shi Xiaonian looked back at him, silent.
"It's not love, it's not that I don't love it, it's just that I don't dare." Feng De said, his voice was extremely hoarse, "Do you understand?"
do you understand
Don't dare.
Maybe one of him and Angelina is too daring, while the other is too daring.
Shi Xiaonian knew that Feng De didn't need her answer, so she didn't say anything and returned to the room alone.
Gong Ou came back soon and sat on the bed with her to watch TV. The signal on the island was not very good, and the TV could only receive a few channels.
Shi Xiaonian was held tightly in Gong Ou's arms. Gong Ou was not interested in the TV at all. His hands were huddled under the quilt and roamed around her body wantonly.
When Xiaonian took his hand away, Gong Ou's hand came back.
She took it away and he came back.
If she takes it away again, he keeps coming back.
"Miyao, can you let me watch TV?"
Shi Xiaonian said helplessly that in fact she didn't care what was shown on TV at all, she was just worried about Feng De and didn't know how long it would take for her adoptive father to come out.
"you are watching TV?"
Gong Ou questioned.
"yes."
Shi Xiaonian nodded absently and pushed Gong Ou's claws away.
"When did you even know this language?" Gong Ou said coldly, reaching out and turning her face, staring at her with black eyes, "You are not watching TV at all, right? Shi Xiaonian, you are so brave! How dare you do that? I'm thinking about other people and other things in front of me! Say, what are you thinking about?"
"ah?"
Shi Xiaonian was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes to look in the direction of the TV.
At this moment, Gong Ou stopped the channel on a TV station that spoke garbled language. Xiao Nian couldn't tell whether it was an advertisement or a TV series. He saw a girl standing on the street, holding something like a love letter in her hand. Something, looking and waiting on the street with a red face.
Oops.
All right.
Shi Xiaonian turned her eyes and met Gong Ou's aggressive gaze again. She quickly looked at the TV and said, "I can watch it even if I don't understand. This is obviously the girl who wants to send a love letter to the boy she likes. Look at her face. How red.”
When the words fell, Shi Xiaonian's eyes stagnated, and many thoughts rushed into her head.
She sat in Gong Ou's arms and said calmly, "Gong Ou, do you think Su Yaoyao is really the daughter of her adoptive father?"
“…”
Hearing this, Gong Ou's black eyes deepened.
"She said she had a baby face and wore youthful makeup. In fact, she is older than you." Shi Xiaonian said, "But I find it very strange."
"What's weird?"
"Every time she sees you, she can't help but blush. Her eyes are filled with admiration. You really can't fake that look. Moreover, some of her actions are a bit childish and she will cry at every turn." Shi Xiaonian Said, "If she is older than you, even if she is immature, she can't be so in love, impulsive and prone to tears, right?"
When she first met Su Yaoyao, she thought she was a student. Su Yaoyao was really too young and looked exactly like a college student.
Su Yaoyao always blushes every time she sees Gong Ou. She wants to try to say something but shyly shrinks back. She hesitates to speak. This is really the behavior of a little girl, unless she has always lived a very pure life. , otherwise it will always be mature enough to not have these manifestations.
"Just because of blushing? Older people can't blush?" (To be continued)
