Day 04 21:45
Bubu was tired from crying, his eyes were red and swollen, like a little goldfish with bulging eyes, lying on Songran's shoulder and screaming sleepily. Song Ran hugged him and coaxed him softly: "Bob, brother will take you to wash Xiang Xiang. After washing, let's go to bed, okay?"
"it is good… "
Boob is weak, and his little head hangs down sleepily.
Song Ran took him to take a shower, and an empty bedroom remained in the surveillance footage.
He Zhiyuan estimated that the two of them would take at least half an hour to come out, so he went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee. When he came back with his coffee, Boo Boo had already finished washing, and was lying on the bed wrapped in a small bath towel, taking a daze, while Song Ran stood in front of the wardrobe, rummaging through a large cabinet of clothes.
"Pajamas, pajamas... Where are the pajamas?"
He muttered while pulling.
The white T-shirt was wet with the bath water, and was translucent against the skin, revealing a narrow waistline. Probably because the wet clothes were a little uncomfortable, Song Ran simply reached out and grabbed the hem and took off the T-shirt.
He Zhiyuan's Adam's apple moved, and he swallowed the coffee in his mouth unconsciously.
Unexpectedly, Song Ran has a pretty good physique - fair complexion, she should be working indoors, but her back muscles are well-proportioned, her shoulder line is neat, and she looks young and energetic. I believe it will be more interesting.
He Zhiyuan has been in fitness for 14 years and holds a professional private education certificate issued by ACE, but he has never brought students with him.
Song Ran was completely unaware that he had been looked down upon, and was still dutifully performing his duties as a little dad. He pulled out a set of little yellow duck pajamas from the closet, picked it up by the collar and shook it, picked up the cloth that was sleeping like a puddle of ooze, and first put his two small arms into his sleeves, his two short legs Put it into the trousers, and then button up the buttons one by one.
During the process, Boob was always in a state of sleep, melted in his arms like cotton candy, swaying around, being manipulated by others, twisting into all kinds of funny poses, and not waking up no matter how much tossing. Seeing that the child was fast asleep, Songran gently put him into the bed, but the moment he took his hands away, Bubu woke up.
"Brother!" Bubu quickly grabbed one of his fingers and asked nervously, "Are you leaving?"
Song Ran hurriedly said: "I'm not going, I'll go outside to comfort sister Lin Hui and then come back. She is crying just like you. Bubu sleeps peacefully, I promise, when you open your eyes next time, I must have slept next to you."
Boob raised his little finger: "Pu Gogo!"
Song Ran hooked up with him, and then he felt at ease, raised his head to ask for a good night kiss, and burrowed into the bed and slept obediently.
He Zhiyuan looked at them with deep emotion - such a simple and warm interaction had not happened between him and Boob for a long time. Bubu is more dependent on Songran than he imagined. In front of Songran, the child will take off his mask, hold out a small and fragile heart, gain understanding, and pray for care. Compared with his real father, it seems that Song Ran is the person that Bu Bu can really rely on.
The reality is depressing, but He Zhiyuan is not irritated.
It was him who was wrong, not Songran.
After Boo Bo fell asleep, Song Ran went to the bathroom, dried the T-shirt with a hairdryer, and put it back on. Before going out, he saw the brightly colored children's mobile phone lying on the bed, the screen was dark, and he took it out.
Xiao Q, who had been squatting in the corner, saw that the observation target shifted, and quickly woke up from the standby state, and followed Songran like a fart. Song Ran didn't pay attention, and brought the door to the room. The "bang dang" door caused Xiao Q to rotate 30 degrees, and the surveillance screen shook violently. He Zhiyuan's living room seemed to have suffered a spectacular earthquake of magnitude 8.
Mr. He, who is always concerned about the demo, frowned, put down the coffee cup, and wrote a line in Xiao Q's problem remarks: The shock absorption is too poor and needs to be optimized.
Fortunately, Xiao Q is very strong, and nothing major happened. After being dizzy for a few seconds, it automatically adjusted its travel direction correctly and followed Songran out.
Lin Hui was drowsy in the living room. Seeing Songran come out, the sleepy bugs on her eyelids disappeared instantly, and she asked with concern, "How is Boob? Are you still crying?"
"It's fine, don't cry anymore." Song Ran pointed to his head with a smile, "I'm not good, my brain cells are dying."
Lin Hui hurriedly made a space for him on the sofa: "Is it so hard?"
Song Ran raised his eyebrows: "Of course, coaxing a child is a technical job, and it takes a lot of energy, especially someone like Boobu, who is smart and sensitive, and even if the expression is wrong, he will wear it. Coax him once, and he has no strength to tell a lie for three days. talk."
He sat down beside Lin Hui and handed over the phone: "Okay, no matter what, I've covered the basket for you. You only have one task left - call and apologize to Mr. He."
When Lin Hui heard this, she jumped three feet away like a spring: "Don't, don't, I don't dare!"
Song Ran asked strangely, "What's so daring about this?"
Lin Hui's voice was as soft as a mosquito: "I... I will be fired."
Song Ran couldn't stop laughing. She opened her five fingers and shoved her phone in: "If you don't make a call, you won't be fired? This logic doesn't hold. If Mr. He really wants to quit you, you will pretend to be deaf. It's no use being dumb. Hurry up, stretch your head, shrink your head, be brave and strike."
"Don't!" Lin Hui avoided it, and threw the phone back to him like a hot potato, "If you are fired, you will be fired, the big deal is to pack up and leave, and if you call to apologize, you will have to be scolded again, so I won't do it. !"
Song Ran thoughtfully waved to her: "Come, sit down, let's talk about this."
Lin Hui reluctantly moved ten centimeters closer.
Seeing her resistance, Song Ran took the initiative to sit over and looked at her seriously: "Lin Hui, no matter what decision Mr. He makes in the end, apology is an unavoidable procedure. First, you are an employee of a housekeeping company. If something goes wrong, it will damage the company's image. You should apologize to save it, right? Second, Mr. He is Boob's father. You made Boo cry. Others are abroad and can't see or touch it. Worry about it. Now that the child is all right, you should call to report that he is safe and reassure him, isn't that right?"
Lin Hui was so tangled, she stroked the end of her hair without answering for a long time—she understood the reason, but... She was so scared.
Song Ran encouraged her: "Don't be afraid, Mr. He is not a vicious person. He is a gentleman and very reasonable. You sincerely apologize to him, and he will not embarrass you."
Lin Hui was skeptical: "Really?"
"Well, really."
She struggled for a long time, still lacking courage, and bargained with Songran: "You are so familiar with Boob, so you must be familiar with Mr. He, right? Would you like to convey your apology for me?"
Song Ran smiled embarrassedly: "Other things are fine, but this one really doesn't work, so what... I was blocked by him."
As he spoke, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Lin Hui was surprised and asked what was going on. He shrugged and said embarrassedly, "That's it... I'm not getting along with him, the neighbors didn't get along well. There was a riot two days ago, and it was quite a big riot, okay? The sensitivity was inadvertently turned negative. Now he doesn't like seeing me very much, and hangs up when he hears my voice. If I come forward to apologize for you, it is estimated that you will not only lose your job, but also lose some extra money. "
Lin Hui was shocked: "It's so serious? Don't you say he's not embarrassing?"
Song Ran was slapped in the face by the speed of light, and was quite embarrassed, so he had to pour dirty water on himself: "Uh, this... I am a special case, especially the annoying kind."
Lin Hui immediately poured a bucket of water back: "Why, you are very attractive! Look, you are handsome, good-natured, and in good shape. You can also coax children. In total, you can give four and a half stars, and put it on a blind date. The market is definitely a hit, Mr. He doesn't want to see you, that's why he's blind, I want to see you... You, do you have a girlfriend?"
Song Ran saw that she had digressed thousands of miles, and couldn't help laughing and crying: "Don't interrupt, call."
Lin Hui chased after him: "Is there any?"
"No."
The little girl immediately became excited, and pink hearts appeared in her eyes: "What a coincidence, I don't have a boyfriend either, why don't we give it a try?"
The confession of love came surging, without warning, comparable to a thunderous gust of wind. Song Ran was choked by her passionate flames, and coughed again and again: "You... you call first, and we'll talk about other things later."
Lin Hui took advantage of the fire and robbed: "You promise me first!"
"I..." Song Ran couldn't resist, and was forced to move out of Infiniti's male god, "Lin Hui, I am indeed single, but there are still secret crushes who are chasing, maybe one day I will quit, so I can't date you. ,do you understand?"
Lin Hui's face collapsed, and she turned her head dejectedly: "Understood, don't fight."
No matter how good-tempered Song Ran was, she was annoyed at this time, holding her breath and getting angry, she wanted to kneel down and call her auntie three times: "Lin Hui, how old are you, can you be a little responsible? You made other people's children cry, okay, it's alright. , I'll help you coax. Now that I'm done coaxing, you won't even make a phone call to say that you're safe? You're not afraid of Dad He's worry? "
Lin Hui whispered, "Help me fight."
Song Ran slammed back onto the sofa, stretched out his hand to rest on his forehead: "I'm a person on the blacklist, can I call him to block him?"
Lin Hui grabbed her skirt with both hands, lowered her head in embarrassment, and kept silent. Song Ran lost her temper after she raised the white flag and sighed: "Okay, if you don't fight, I will fight."
Go get your phone.
"Don't, don't, I can't fight!"
Lin Hui was afraid that he would be angry, so she grabbed the phone and pressed the love dial button with lightning speed. The screen lights up, and a line of extremely horrific characters jumps out—current talk time: 1 hour, 39 minutes, 15 seconds.
1 hour 39 minutes 16 seconds.
1 hour 39 minutes 17 seconds.
1 hour 39 minutes 18 seconds.
…
The two stared at the screen, both petrified.
As the saying goes, a true warrior dares to face the bleak life and the dripping blood.
Too bad Songran is not a warrior.
In fact, it only took him a second to recognize his identity as a coward, and he ran away, knocked open a door, threw it with a "bang", and dropped Lin Hui to face the bombshell alone.
He was standing against the wall in the dark, breathing hard, his cheeks hot.
That 1 hour, 39 minutes and 18 seconds just now... What did he say? He misunderstood Lin Hui's meaning, told a lot of naive lies, fabricated Mr. He's "guilt" out of nothing, and even more so, he wrote a stack of empty checks for Mr. He: accompany Bubu to take a car, give Bubu a ride Telling fairy tales, allowing Boob to keep cats... The most terrible thing is that he just complained about Mr. He's little belly a minute ago, and even blocked him if he didn't answer the phone!
It's really going to die this time.
Song Ran's heart collapsed, and her head leaned back hard, hitting the light switch on the wall, and she heard a "click", and the warm and elegant light filled the field of vision.
The room he broke into was not large, and the furnishings were simple. The first thing he saw was a large piece of cream-colored tufted carpet. There was a recessed light strip at the bottom of the wall and the top of the wall on both sides, extending to the white wall directly opposite. Dark soft light. A white wall is just a white wall with no decoration other than a huge black frame of unknown meaning. There are several small downlights inlaid on the ceiling, which are exquisite and lovely, but the wattage is not high. When the heavy curtains are drawn, they interweave into a vast starry sky.
The only furniture in the room is a camellia red cloth sofa, which is piled with large fluffy throw pillows. No matter the color or material, it is full of attraction to Songran with mild skin thirst.
He walked over slowly, nestled in the corner of the sofa, grabbed a pillow and hugged it, silently burying his face in it.
dong dong dong.
A few minutes later, there were three knocks on the door. Lin Hui came in and waved the children's mobile phone happily: "Song Ran, Mr. He is looking for you!"
He even knew his name.
Song Ran raised her face with a very unnatural expression: "Oh."
"Don't be so low, it's alright!" Lin Hui covered the microphone with her palm, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "Mr. He is really nice, he will forgive me as soon as I apologize, and he will certainly forgive me. Yours! Come on!"
Saying that, he patted Songran on the shoulder, gave him an encouraging thumbs up, and ran out happily.
Just now, she was unable to ride a tiger, and answered the phone with the determination to die. Sure enough, ten seconds later, she died heroically and was dismissed by Mr. He.
Although the news was bad, it seemed to be a deliberate attempt to corroborate Songran's statement that "it's not vicious". Mr. He used an extremely euphemistic way of expressing it, so much that Lin Hui even thought at first that she was not about to be fired, but to be given a raise. I also wondered for a while where the misunderstanding came from.
Mr. He has a mild attitude, saying that it is inevitable for a young girl to make some mistakes. As long as she reflects on herself in time, she can avoid making mistakes in the future.
Lin Hui was moved to tears.
Mr. He also said that he understood this and would provide the housekeeping company with a legitimate reason for dismissal that would not harm Lin Hui's reputation. In addition, she is willing to pay 20% of the original salary as an "apology reward" for her - for Songran's face.
He endorsed Songran in this way, hoping that Lin Hui could truly understand the value of apology.
Lin Hui burst into tears, holding the phone and thanking him continuously, thinking that Song Ran would not deceive me, Mr. He is a standard good man who can't be found under the kilowatt spotlight.
The so-called honey in this and arsenic in the other is that Mr. He's side moved Lin Hui so much, but the other side scared Song Ran so much that he couldn't explain the words clearly.
"He, he, Mr. He."
Song Ran held the phone tremblingly, stuttering badly.
He Zhiyuan smiled and said straight to the point: "Song Ran, I was in a meeting in the afternoon."
"Ha... a meeting?"
Song Ran blinked, but his mind didn't turn around.
He Zhiyuan explained: "Didn't you call me twice in the afternoon? It's not a coincidence. At that time, the company happened to have a regular high-level meeting. My position had to be present throughout the whole process and I couldn't escape, so I hung up twice. .If it's a normal departmental meeting, even if I can't leave, I will at least take the time to reply to you with a text message... I'm really sorry."
"So that's how it is!" Song Ran was both happy and depressed, and bumped her head against the sofa cushion, "I thought you, you..."
I thought you really hated me.
He Zhiyuan couldn't finish hearing this half-sentence, but the relieved tone let him know that this little misunderstanding brought more pressure on Song Ran than he thought.
He felt deeply guilty and explained: "The regular meeting was a little long, and it was past eight o'clock in China when it ended. I was afraid that you would be uncomfortable, so I called you back, but unfortunately I didn't catch up. It was the kindergarten teacher who answered. Song Ran , please believe that I have never put you on the blacklist."
"Ah, that... that I was just talking nonsense." Song Ran was very embarrassed, blushed and smiled, and there was no silver and three hundred taels here to tell herself, "You are so generous, you will definitely not care about me so much. Trivial things... I, I wanted to complain, that's what I said to Lin Hui."
After picking it out, he turned around and pondered, he was entangled in the whole day, can it really count? It's nothing more than a disagreement between friends and a fight over the phone line.
This kind of trivial matter of sesame, mung bean and bran bran is probably not even listed in Mr. He's place. People are so busy that they really have no time to block him. It was because he was hit that his self-confidence was halved, his anxiety doubled, and he automatically thought about everything, so he forgot the biggest possibility of "inconvenient to answer the phone".
Song Ran was quite ashamed.
How old are they, and they are still childish like a child, I have to trouble Mr. He to coax him in person.
He hugged the big pillow in his arms, sandwiched it between his legs, and arched another centimeter to the corner of the sofa.
He Zhiyuan knew that he was tough-mouthed and thin-skinned, so he thoughtfully saved face for him without revealing it, and asked, "Call me at five in the morning, what's the urgency?"
Song Ran shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that you didn't forgive me last night, I think maybe my attitude was not sincere, so I called again this morning, and I want to apologize to you again solemnly. Mr. He, I shouldn't force you to agree with my family view, as you said, everyone has different experiences, it's normal to have differences in family views, and they should respect each other. I'm willing to seek common ground with you now, can you forgive my rudeness that day? "
He Zhiyuan smiled lightly: "Yes, I forgive you."
He agreed so readily that Song Ran was still immersed in thinking about what to say in the next round. Hearing the word "forgive", he was stunned for a while before slowly relaxing.
"Uh, in addition to apology, and... I also want to..." Song Ran bit a light mark on his lips and made a second request, "It may be a bit late to say this now, but I... I am very I like Boob. In the future, if you are busy at work and have no time to accompany him in the future, can you let him come to my house to play? I can help you take care of him, tell him stories, teach him to draw, and wash him before going to bed. send it back."
He Zhiyuan said, "Yes."
Song Ran gained a little confidence and took a step forward cautiously: "Then... Also, it's Lin Hui's turn to take a vacation in the future, can you find me a nanny? , don't charge a penny!"
He didn't know that Lin Hui had been fired at this time, and the reason was obvious: when Lin Hui gave away the mobile phone, there was a spring breeze on his face, with a look of joy that had dissipated from his worries, and he kept praising Mr. He for being tolerant and generous. Song Ran acquiesced that she had been forgiven. She was both happy for her and sad for herself. She was jealous for three seconds. Everyone made mistakes. In the end, Lin Hui was fine, but unfortunately he lost his job, which shows how realistic and fucked life is.
He Zhiyuan couldn't hear the resentment in his heart and asked with a smile, "You like Boob so much?"
Song Ran nodded: "I like it."
If he is straight, his biggest dream in this life is to give birth to a cute baby like Boob, hold it in the palm of his hand, give him all the love, and spoil him to the sky.
He Zhiyuan asked again, "What do you like about him?"
Songran said, "I like the way he depends on me."
"rely on you?"
He Zhiyuan thought that he would hear descriptions such as smart, cute, innocent, etc. The word "dependence" was really not in his imagination.
"Yeah." Song Ran nodded lightly, "I know it may be a little narcissistic to say this, but... Boob seems to be quite dependent on me. He looks at me very close, without a sense of distance, and usually loves to I jumped on my body, and when I got stuck, I wouldn’t go away. I was still crying in front of me, and I was talking to me, probably because I thought I could understand a little bit. I just thought, how lucky I am to be depended on by such a little angel. Ah, I have to protect him with all my heart and not let him down."
He Zhiyuan was silent for a while, holding the coffee cup, and slowly drank most of it: "Song Ran, frankly speaking, it's hard for me to imagine how you and Bu Bu established such a close relationship in two or three days, it's beyond me. But I have to admit, the fact is - Boob is very dependent on you, you have noticed a lot of details that I ignored, so I also have to apologize for the previous dispute. "
"He, Mr. He?"
Song Ran didn't expect him to say that.
He Zhiyuan laughed at himself: "I'm obviously overconfident. At my age, most of my colleagues have children at home, and I hear them complain about their troubles every day, making trouble during the day, crying at night, raising two people and fighting, but cloth Bu has not been like this since he was a child, which is very worry-free. I didn't go into the reasons, I simply thought that I was more gifted than other parents, and that I had no teacher to raise my children. Now it seems that I think things are too simple. ."
Reproduction is an instinct, but nurture is not.
Parenting is more like a sweet experience and practice, starting from the moment a baby is born, there is no shortcut without a teacher.
"Song Ran, your sharpness and frankness have helped me a lot. Out of the selfishness of my parents, I would prefer to keep Bubu by your side and take care of you." He Zhiyuan said, "All day, 24 hours, at your home. ."
Song Ran's eyes widened: "You... you mean... "
"I mean, with the approval of the legal guardian, from now on, Boob belongs to your little treasure."
Happiness came too suddenly, like a rainstorm without warning in summer, pouring candy on Songran's face. Like a dream, he grabbed the big pillow in his arms: "Are you serious, serious, honest, don't joke or tease me?"
He Zhiyuan laughed: "I promise to be serious, serious, and honest. I won't joke or tease you. If you don't worry, I can invite you again."
He cleared his throat and said the same as the previous time: "Songran, there is a four-year-old boy in my house named Bubu, would you like to help me..."
"I would like to, I would like to!"
Song Ran agreed, so happy that she was about to faint.
He and Mr. He reached a wonderful reconciliation. In the next ten days or so, there will be a cute little follower around him, cute and soft, chasing and calling his brother all over the room, asking him to comb his hair and feed him. meal, bath. Every morning, I eat the little wontons he made, ride his bicycle to the kindergarten, pester him to tell stories every night, sleep together at night, and when I look down, I smell the reassuring milk fragrance.
And Mr. He.
He got a hard-won forgiveness. When Mr. He returned to China, he happened to meet him outside the door one day, and at least he could say hello in a friendly way.
Song Ran thought of this, contented, and rolled around on the sofa in an extremely unimaginative manner. After rolling, she felt a strong sense of unreality: "So... the matter is resolved?"
"It's resolved." He Zhiyuan replied, "Faster than you thought?"
Song Ran gave a happy "um": "It's so much soon, I thought I would have to wait until the next life."
