"I've thought about it." Sister Li finally spoke.
When Song Zhixing heard this, she regained her composure and smiled at her. She understood what Sister Li meant.
"I'll clean it up myself." She squatted down again.
Sister Li said, "Let me do it. You sit on the side and watch. I usually handle these things."
Song Zhixing did not stop, but just imitated Sister Li's movements to organize his own box. After a while, he said to Sister Li: "Sister Li, from now on, you can teach me how to cook."
"You don't even know how to use the kitchen equipment."
"It doesn't matter. It's not too late to learn now. I will learn these things slowly in the future."
Sister Li knew what she was thinking and couldn't help but sigh: "If the Second Master knew you were like this, he would definitely be heartbroken."
Song Zhixing bit her lip and said nothing. Her nose felt sore.
"Okay, let's not talk about Second Master. But if you want to learn, you have to learn at home. Now that you're out playing, just have fun and don't think about cooking."
"You can send me the recipe. I'll start learning it over there."
"I can't persuade you." Sister Li shook her head. Folding the clothes, she continued, "Although I don't know what happened between you and Erye recently, you should know that Erye really loves you. So, if you have any ideas, try to communicate with him properly and don't make decisions on your own."
"... I have discussed this matter with him many times regarding the child." Song Zhixing lowered his eyelashes, "If we could have discussed it, I wouldn't have done this..."
"You, it's Second Master who accustomed you to being straightforward and incomprehensible. Second Master loves you so much, if you act like a spoiled child with him and talk to him nicely, what is there that Second Master won't agree to? In this life, you are Second Master's nemesis."
"If I talk to him nicely, he will agree..." Song Zhixing said this and glanced at Sister Li, "Sister Li, do you think my second uncle will agree to let me do anything that might hurt his mother?"
Sister Li showed a hint of surprise at what Song Zhixing said.
I really don't understand. "Why are you saying such stupid things? You also know the relationship between the Second Master and the Madam. Although they haven't been seen often in recent years, they are real blood relatives. Don't be so stupid and make the Second Master angry by saying such things."
Song Zhixing smiled bitterly and nodded, "I understand..."
If she talked to him nicely and asked him to let her call the police, Tang Yu would never agree.
Sister Li looked at her and said, "Although I won't agree to this, if you don't want to get pregnant, there is definitely hope if you talk nicely. Of course, you have to be smart and don't reveal your thoughts right away. When you're out playing, don't get angry with Second Master all the time. Relax a little and have a good time with him. If you make Second Master happy, he will agree to anything you ask for."
Song Zhixing looked at Sister Li, as if she was considering the success or failure of Sister Li's words. She suddenly realized that, as Sister Li said, she had been spoiled by Tang Yu for so many years, so when everything happened, she habitually confronted him head-on.
"Think about what Sister Li said. Ah, find the softest way to resolve the matter. You obviously love each other, so don't hurt each other."
Song Zhixing was distracted as he listened to Sister Li's words.
Some things, like parenting, can never be solved, and there is no soft way to deal with them. But, when it comes to children…
Song Zhixing felt that what Sister Li said made sense.

Tang Yu took Song Zhixing abroad. During the more than ten hours of flight, Song Zhixing did not fall asleep at first, but just looked out the window, thinking. Later, he gradually fell asleep, and his head unconsciously tilted to his side.
Tang Yu felt a weight on his shoulders and stopped flipping through the documents.
He lowered his eyes, looking at her haggard sleeping face, with even more pity in his eyes. Carefully, he tucked the messy hair on her cheek behind her ear, and gently stroked her delicate face with his thumb, truly feeling her warmth.
God knows how much he missed the feeling of hugging her quietly like this. As if this was real enough.
During this period, she had been quarreling with him. He was a man with a strong sense of self-esteem and could not stand her repeated rejections. Therefore, he did not want to continue to be so cold-hearted. Every night, he would suppress his lingering feelings and force himself to leave decisively. However, after leaving her, he always had trouble falling asleep in his room.
When he thought that she might be relieved and sleep more peacefully next door because of his departure, he felt extremely jealous. He wanted to wake her up immediately and have her again.
"Sleep well." Tang Yu put his long arms around her neck, hugged her head, and kissed the top of her head.
Song Zhixing was dreaming in the sky in a daze. In her dream, there was a pair of blurry shadows, her father and mother. She wanted to grab them, hoping that she could be loved by her father and mother like other people. She stretched out her hands randomly, but the shadows were getting farther and farther away from her. She cried in silence and despair, and suddenly, her hand hanging in the air was grabbed by a big hand.
"Stars, I'm here. I'm here."
As if she had finally found peace, her crying gradually faded away, and she was smiling in her dreams, "Dad, I miss you so much..."
Tang Yu hugged her, his throat tightened, and his heart twisted into a ball.
The Tang family owed her too much. And now, the only thing he could do was to lock her by his side and make up for it in every possible way.

Song Zhixing was immersed in this dream with her father and mother. The melancholy on her face disappeared because of this dream. In her dream, she had a calm smile on her face, which made Tang Yu reluctant to wake her up. When the flight attendant came to deliver the meal, he also waved his hand to refuse.
Along the way, she fell asleep leaning on his shoulder for several hours. Tang Yu maintained this sleeping position all the way, without moving, not wanting to disturb her sweet dream.
Song Zhixing didn't wake up until the plane stopped after the turbulence. He realized that he had just had a dream and felt a little disappointed.
"Awake?" Tang Yu's voice sounded above her head. Song Zhixing raised her eyes slightly and met his tender gaze, and a corner of her heart softened for a moment.
"... Yeah." Song Zhixing rubbed his eyes, pulled himself off his shoulder and sat up straight.
After keeping the same posture for a long time, Tang Yu felt a little sore all over. He rubbed his arm, stood up first, leaned over to look at her, and said, "Wake up and get ready to get off the plane."
Song Zhixing looked at him with complicated eyes, pursed her lips, and asked, "Is your arm... uncomfortable because of my pressure?"
Her deep pupils lit up, and Tang Yu looked at her inquiringly. However, after just a glance, Song Zhixing turned her eyes away and avoided his sight.
