When Lin Zitan came out of the hospital, the sky was completely dark, and the street lights on the street were exceptionally bright, I don't know if it was because the festive atmosphere had not yet dissipated, and the faint woody fragrance of Christmas trees was still wafting in the air.

Standing at the corner of the hospital downstairs, numbly watching the traffic coming and going, he especially wanted to be like Zhang Jing at the moment, took out a cigarette, lit it and took a hard puff, and then squinted to watch the smoke rings rise in the air, no wonder so many men like to smoke, on the one hand, because of loneliness, on the other hand, because smoking is cool!

Lin Zitan thought that before he came to the United States, he also smoked, and he could buy a pack of cigarettes for three or two dollars in China, but after arriving in the United States, in order to save those few dollars of cigarette money, he unconsciously quit smoking, especially when he first arrived in the United States, he always habitually converted US dollars into RMB, originally 5 US dollars, as soon as he thought that it was more than 30 yuan, his heart suddenly hurt, and he was reluctant to smoke!

The corners of his mouth raised an intriguing wry smile, Lin Zitan looked up at the night sky covered by tall buildings, Manhattan was crowded, much more crowded than Long Island, because from his point of view, he couldn't even see a complete sky, only a sky-like one rendered by various lights, a chaotic darkness.

“Daniel?“

Suddenly heard Zhang Jing coming from behind, he stood there and didn't look back, if the only thing in this world that can make him let down his guard is probably only a friend like Zhang Jing, but he is very ashamed, he still has a lot of things that he can't say to Zhang Jing.

"Are you okay?" In the cold wind, Zhang Jing's voice was like a fireplace at home, although you didn't touch the stove, you still felt its warmth. Lin Zitan is very fortunate to have met such a reliable friend!

"Zhang Jing, thank you today!" Lin Zitan turned sideways and said slowly.

"Hey, it's all buddy, thank you or not. But there is something that, as a friend, I still want to say. Zhang Jing looked at Lin Zi's unhurried expression, and then said: "I have always felt that Auntie is a very thoughtful person, but I can also see that she really cares about you, but maybe you have been separated for too long before, and she has never found a correct way to communicate with you." ”

"Hehe~ Maybe!" Lin Zitan smiled bitterly.

He really wanted to say to Zhang Jing: "If a mother and her son have to play tricks everywhere, how sad and ridiculous is that?" But he didn't say it, because friends are used to share happiness, and you shouldn't let your family bear your personal sorrow, and negative energy is sometimes contagious, and he doesn't want to be that carrier.

"Maybe she's not wrong, she's just using the wrong method!" After speaking, Lin Zitan only sighed deeply, then turned around and walked towards the gate of the hospital, turning back and asking Zhang Jing as he walked:

"Why are you coming down, is my mom okay?" said in a relaxed tone, as if asking about today's weather.

"You're a ghost for a while, your mother asked me to come down and see you" Zhang Jing looked at this friend who seemed to have his own repair ability in surprise, and couldn't help but complain.

"I'm going up, or you go back, you can't help here anyway, maybe you'll be born in a while!" Lin Zitan waved his hand to Zhang Jing while walking forward lightly.

"Alas, send the Buddha to the west. Bah~ I mean, eighty-one worshippers, what is such a trembling, let's go, I'll follow and see!" Zhang Jing said disapprovingly.

。。。。。。

Li Manrui heard Lin Zitan leaving, she knew that she had done something stupid again, she found that she tried her best to repair the relationship with her son, it was a very failed thing, lying in the delivery room at this time, suddenly thought of Mike, who could not be reached on the phone, and felt that her marriage was a failure.

The labor pains continued, but the doctor had allowed her to go into the delivery room to give birth, Lin Zitan and Zhang Jing were isolated outside, and no one could help except the doctor and midwife for giving birth, but in the United States, the husband was allowed to stay in the delivery room together to accompany the delivery.

Almost every mother Li Manrui knows who gives birth in the United States is accompanied by her husband, and she found a foreigner husband, this kind of thing should be natural, but she didn't expect that her husband, who surrounds her every day and talks sweetly, doesn't know where she is at the moment.

When Li Manrui's child was born, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, and Lin Zi was very irritable waiting outside, but he no longer had the nervousness before coming to the hospital.

"Daniel, who is Daniel, a midwifery nurse came out of the delivery room and shouted at the waiting crowd.

"I, I am!" Lin Zitan, who was originally sitting in the armchair outside, immediately got up from his seat, walked to the nurse in a few steps and asked eagerly, "Is something wrong?"

"You're Daniel, you're a brother, your mother has given birth, she's a pretty little sister, would you like to go in and have a look?" said the black nurse with a loving smile.

"Oh, okay!" Lin Zi breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, and when he wanted to go in, he suddenly thought of Zhang Jing who was waiting together, and called out to him again: "Zhang Jing, do you want to go together." ”

The two of them cautiously walked into the delivery room, Li Manrui's delivery bed was separated by a curtain, and they couldn't see how people were doing, Li Manrui gave birth to a child at this age, which was originally very depleting to the body, and she chose to give birth naturally, and the child was pushed for more than an hour before it was born, and she was already tired and fell asleep at this time, and she didn't even know that the obstetrician was taking two interns to help her stitch up the wound.

The black nurse brought them in to see the child lying on an insulated cot.

Lin Zitan came closer to see that there was a white card at the head of the child's bed, on which was written Annie, the mother's name, and the height and weight of the child at birth. The little girl of 7.4LB was actually babbling there at the moment, as if she was greeting Lin Zitan, and Lin Zitan's heart melted instantly.

"Let me see, isn't the mixed-race child particularly beautiful?" Zhang Jing also squeezed over, pushed Lin Zitan away a little, and went to see the newborn, swaddling little girl.

"Wow, your sister is so cute!No wonder they all say that mixed-race children are good-looking, and Lao Tzu is also going to give birth to a mixed-race child to play, hehe~" Zhang Jing muttered and swore while teasing the little baby whose eyes were still in focus.

"Your TM wife hasn't decided yet, so you're ready to raise a child?" Lin Zi snorted and was amused by Zhang Jing's words.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the door, and someone eagerly pushed open the door of the delivery room, shouting "Marry, Marry, where are you?"

Lin Zitan looked up and saw Mike breaking in sweating, and his originally neat and clean suit looked messy and depressed at the moment.

When Mike saw the baby on the small bed, his eyes lit up instantly, and when he saw Lin Zitan and Zhang Jing all gathered around the bed, he excitedly walked over and wanted to reach out and pick up the child, but before Lin Zitan could stop him, the black nurse who brought them in just now had already taken the lead in blocking Mike.

"Hey, who are you? This is the delivery room, not the patient's family can't enter!" The female nurse was obviously very upset by Mike's impolite behavior, and deliberately made a mistake.

"I... I'm the child's father!" Mike looked at Lin Zitan and then at Zhang Jing, and said aggrievedly with a deep sense of help.

"Mike, I... At.. Over here... Li Manrui's weak voice suddenly came from the delivery bed in the tent, and when Mike heard it, he immediately shouted Li Manrui's name and turned around and walked inside.

"I'm sorry, he is indeed the father of the child, he may have been too excited for a while, sorry~" Lin Zitan said apologetically to the black nurse who had just stopped him.

"But why is he so rude?" the black nurse whispered in confusion, then turned around and went to work on something else, leaving Lin Zitan and Zhang Jing standing there looking at each other.
