He was supposed to go back early the next morning, but Yu Jiangqing said he would take an extra day off and not go back, letting Feiqin deal with his own affairs first.
Everyone is naturally happy to have an extra day off, but at the moment everyone just thinks their boss is kind and makes them feel uneasy.
Bird really had to take care of things, so with him gone, the others could finally go off and have some fun.
Everyone went out. Yu Jiangqing lay on the sofa and reached out to turn on the TV. There were international channels and some international news.
Ding Ning went over and kicked him. Yu Jiangqing automatically gave up his position. Ding Ning sat down next to him, "What's wrong with you?"
Yu Jiangqing took the remote control and glanced at Ding Ning, "Does this count as caring about me? It's really rare that after three years, I can still hear my wife's concern."
Ding Ning stood up and was about to leave, but Yu Jiangqing grabbed his wrist and pulled him back into his arms, "Daughter-in-law, think about it for yourself, how many years has it been?"
Ding Ning struggled to get up, but Yu Jiangqing threw away the remote control and concentrated on hugging the person, "She is gone, I feel worse than you. She is the only person in my world who is related to me by blood."
Yu Jiangqing's voice was very low, so his daughter, who disappeared without even meeting him, was the only person in the world with whom he had a blood relationship.
It was as if he was no longer alone in this world.
Ding Ning's struggling movements paused, and Yu Jiangqing was buried on her shoulder, her voice so low that she could hardly hear it.
But Ding Ning heard it, she heard it clearly.
She and Yu Jiangqing are the same people. They are the only ones in the world, so they come together.
But the little girl with whom they had a common relationship did not want to come to them.
Ding Ning leaned back into his arms. Every time they mentioned the child in the past, they had nothing but quarrels. This was the first time they talked about this issue so calmly.
"Actually, I resent you." Yu Jiangqing suddenly said with self-mockery, "Why didn't you know you were pregnant?"
Ding Ning's pupils narrowed a bit and he tightened his hand again.
"But think about it, why didn't I find it myself?" Yu Jiangqing said more and more, and smiled, but this laughter was sad.
Yu Jiangqing stood up slightly, buried herself in Ding Ning's abdomen, and hugged her body tightly, "I'm not as strong as you see, she is my daughter, I know she exists because she left, Ning Ning, I can’t stand it, I really can’t stand it.”
It is impossible not to be shocked, but in addition to the shock, there is also heartbreaking pain.
Ding Ning's slightly raised hand never placed it on the back of his hand. It wasn't until she clearly felt Yu Jiangqing's trembling that her hand slowly fell.
"I always thought that your heart was made of stone." Ding Ning looked at the man buried in his belly. He didn't know if he was saying this self-deprecating statement to him or to himself.
The two of them stopped talking, and the air was so quiet that it was scary, but it also made people feel at ease.
Heizi and the others originally came back to ask if they wanted to play together, but when they saw this scene, they all left silently.
The captain has had a difficult past three years, and they see it more clearly than anyone else.
She always wanted to say nice things to Ding Ning, but no one would bear Ding Ning's grievances on her behalf, so outsiders like them could only watch.
Fortunately, now that the captain has quit, he can finally live a normal military life.
