On summer nights, the frolicking neighborhood is quiet, and the sporadic lights are extinguished one by one.

In front of the bathroom pool, Ai Dong unscrewed the toothpaste cap, glanced at the wall clock on the porch and said, "It's 12 o'clock, and the birthday magic is invalid." ”

"Finish this one. My daughter's voice came through the bedroom door, and I didn't feel sleepy no matter how I listened.

Ai Dong didn't say anything more, after squeezing the toothpaste, he looked at himself in the mirror, and started brushing from his front teeth as usual.

The man in the mirror is tired, his skin has lost the firmness of his youth, and the curiosity in his eyes has faded with the years, covering him with a faint layer of indifference.

This face always made Aidong feel unfamiliar, like a boy meeting his elderly self.

As the daughter grows up, the fatigue of being a first-time father has quietly subsided, replaced by a kind of dullness day after day.

Ai Dong stared at the man in the mirror, and from his boring pupils, he seemed to find the reason for the strangeness-

It's numbness.

While rinsing her mouth, there was a sound of a thud running in her daughter's room, and then she slapped the switch very hard.

"Turn off the lights and go to bed. Thank you dad for your birthday present, good night and love you!"

"I trusted your self-control to buy you the phone. Ai Dong wiped his face and walked to his daughter's door, suppressed his voice, and tried to make his voice as serious as possible, "If you can't get out of bed tomorrow, I won't call you, go and explain to the teacher yourself." ”

"Promise not to be late!" the daughter opened a crack in the door, revealing half of her ears, "Did you forget to say anything?"

"Huh?"

"Think for yourself. The daughter raised her hand behind her ear and looked impatient.

"You're so big...... Ai Dong's suppressed voice unconsciously relaxed.

"Quick!"

Ai Dong scratched his face, squatted down very reluctantly, and put it to his daughter's ear, and said in a very small voice: "Love you too, good night." ”

"Well, that's what you are, stop pretending to be harsh. The daughter chuckled, and then closed the door satisfied.

Ai Dong stood stupidly in front of the door and rubbed the back of his head, this time he failed to play Yan's father again.

When he returned to the bathroom to turn off the lights, he saw himself in the mirror again.

This time, it's a smile.

It's happiness.

After confirming that the doors and windows were locked, he sat on the side of the bed and breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the head of the bed casually, and only reacted when he touched the plastic buttons.

The mobile phone that his wife had saved was originally just a transitional product, but Ai Dong was obsessed with this simple device and completely broke off the idea of buying a new mobile phone.

After all, he was long past the age of curiosity.

Instead, she insisted on a new smartphone as a 12th birthday present, and bought the phone case two months in advance to show her determination.

Although he knew that it would affect his studies and health, Ai Dong still bought it for her, just like the little bully that his father bought back then.

Unsurprisingly, Ain became addicted the first night he got his phone.

When it comes to addiction, her daughter has never been a good child.

Ai Dong simply stood up, threw off his slippers and crept out of the house, a mischievous smile on his face.

He came all the way to the door of his daughter's bedroom in the dark, gently pressed the handle, and slowly pushed the door open.

Due to the obstruction of the wall, the head of the bed could not be seen, only the moonlight shining through the curtain cracks at the end of the bed.

He tiptoed into it again, and half of his head poked out of the eaves.

The head of the bed was dark, and Al Yin did sleep obediently.

Unable to catch the current, Aidong was a little disappointed.

Just as he turned around to leave, suddenly a sulking voice came from behind him:

"Will you be mid-laner...... You'll get back on it when I get there......"

Aidong turned sharply, and a mischievous smile resurfaced.

Ai Yin, who was hidden in the quilt, although his face was already swollen, he couldn't lose in his mouth.

"I'm not going to? I've played 7 of this hero. ”

"I don't want to quarrel, it's not convenient now. ”

"The tank is my classmate, it's the first time to play, you guys are considerate. ”

"Who's an elementary school student? We'll be junior high school students in a few days. ”

"What are you laughing at!"

"Why should I tell you which school I am? ”

As Ain was talking, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, and an evil wind swept in.

This was followed by Daddy's laughter: "Fight with me?!"

"Ahh......h You heard me wrong, I said that I won a handful and went to sleep, and just now I lost, well, win a handful and sleep!"

In the end, nod confidently.

Before Ai Dong could speak, the voice of his teammate on his mobile phone came: "I'm going to be resurrected soon, two elementary school students come and gather." ”

Ain was about to answer when he heard Daddy's "Huh?"

She raised her head uneasily, looked at her father's steel-like face, and had to lean in front of her mobile phone and muttered, "This...... I...... My dad came to raid ......."

The voice channel collectively lost its voice for a few seconds, and then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Is it really an elementary school student?"

"There's no way to be found out by my dad. ”

"Hurry up and sleep, forget it. ”

Ain scratched his scalp vigorously, a little anxious, but he couldn't help it: "I'm sorry...... I'll take you with me next time. ”

"Hahaha, please, let us go. ”

"Do you have a next time?"

Ain sighed bitterly, turned off the game, and after struggling sideways, he stretched out his right hand with a convincing contraction, and handed over the mobile phone in the shape of a little pink rabbit, "Confiscate it......"

Ai Dong snorted with a straight face: "It's not right to stay up late to play games, but it's even more serious to live up to your teammates, finish this game." ”

Ai Yin's eyes instantly lit up, and without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves and sat cross-legged: "Hurry up, my dad let me finish the fight." ”

But his teammates couldn't get excited.

"Well, the regiment just went out. ”

"It's no fun. ”

"Cast and go to sleep. ”

After they finished speaking, a weak female voice came out: "I should sleep too......"

"No, I'll take you to the game. Ai Yin raised his voice and ordered with great momentum, "There is still a chance, I will hold it first, the other party will not have time to push off our hometown, and you will be resurrected again." ”

When she was undecided, a voice suddenly came from her ears: "You are sending it like this." ”

Aine turned his head to find that his father was lying on the side with his head propped up.

She looked at her father and then at her phone: "No...... Otherwise, how do you fight?"

"I'll try. Ai Dong raised his hand and trembled, "If you are all novices, there is still a chance." ”

After Ai Yin saw her father's confident expression, she also became inexplicably confident, and called on her mobile phone: "Don't retreat, my dad is going to go, take you to lie down and win!"

After the cruel words, she held the mobile phone and gave it with both hands, her eyes were extremely resolute, "Jiang Ruomo has never played a game, I took advantage of her birthday to stiffen her to come, and she lost all night, so she must never want to play again in the future, the last one, she must win." ”

Ai Dong didn't answer, after taking the phone, he found a comfortable position to lean on the head of the bed, clicked on the game's settings, and slowly modified the operation method.

"They're all here!" Ain knelt next to her and stared at the screen, "Can you hurry up!"

"Shhhh After Ai Dong finished the adjustment, he manipulated the character to turn in circles on the spot, which was regarded as moving his fingers.

Ain was so anxious that he grabbed his father's shoulder: "Dad, you're pretending, right? You're pretending to be very powerful, right?

I saw Ai Dong swipe his thumb upwards slightly, as if he was still warming up, but the character just jumped up and avoided the cannonball.

Ain's expression gradually became complicated: "This is ...... Blind ......."

"It's experience. Aidon manipulates the character to jump sideways from side to side, which is a very provocative action in the game, and he even pulls out his hand to type - you play the game like Cxx.

In the face of the left and right horizontal jumps, there was originally only one enemy on the hook, but after seeing Cxx, the other two enemies were also anxious, throwing out various displacement skills to kill across the map.

Ai Dong always has a trick in his hand, only using it to distance himself when necessary, and then doing a horizontal jump that looks like a crotch dribble.

He dragged three enemies around the woods for nearly ten seconds, and every time the opponent was about to give up, he would turn back and seduce again.

Ai Yin looked at the screen and didn't dare to speak, sure enough, she couldn't underestimate the experience of middle-aged people, as for why the other party was so angry every time she saw Cxx, she didn't really understand.

Although Aidong managed to hold three of them back, the other two enemies went straight to the base and only needed to destroy the last buildings to win.

Ai Dong cut the screen from time to time to watch their progress, during which he transmitted a message to his teammates: "If you live, don't hesitate." ”

Just when the blood in the base had bottomed out, several golden rays of light fell from the sky, and the teammates were resurrected almost at the same time, and several people pounced on them like mad dogs.

In a variety of explosive ultimates, two enemies ascend to the sky in an instant.

The base survives with blood, and it is just two knives away.

A few of his teammates immediately came to their senses.

"Guarded?"

"Hurry up, go save Daddy!"

"Daddy, hold on!"

Ai Dong's side has changed its tactics and launched a greasy counterattack by the middle-aged man, only dragging it out and not fighting, you retreat and I advance.

The three enemies were entangled and greasy, and they couldn't escape, and they were completely annihilated by several filial sons in a moment.

The winning game was shown, and the opponent's mentality completely collapsed, and they chose to surrender in mutual scolding.

When the big golden word [Victory] came out, the teammates burst out collectively, and this turnaround was enough for them to blow for two days.

"Daddy is amazing!"

"Your daughter is also very good, for a newbie who has only played seven. ”

"Cxx is so easy to use!"

Ai Dong coughed his throat and picked up his father's shelf again: "In the future, if you see that she is still playing at night, remember to urge her to sleep." ”

"Listen to Daddy. ”

"I help my dad prevent addiction. ”

After chatting a few words, the three filial sons left the game, and the girl who had been submerged before spoke again: "...... We won?"

Ain snatched the phone from his father's hand: "Win and win, it's fun, right?"

"But I didn't do anything......"

"You've taken a lot of damage, so teamwork is the most fun. ”

"Hehe, it's really fun to listen to you. The girl laughed too, and after the stranger left, her voice became much more natural.

Ai Dong stretched his hand, snatched the phone back, picked up Yan's father's shelf and said, "Ruomo, why are you playing at night like Yin Yin?"

"Uncle Ai is good...... Isn't it Yinyin's birthday today......" The girl's voice changed back to mosquito calls, "I'll go to sleep." ”

Ai Dong didn't expect him to be so deterrent, so he relaxed his tone again: "It's okay, I don't tell your parents, I'm afraid that Yin Yin will take you badly." ”

"No, no, I'm very happy today, then...... Good night uncle, good night Yinyin. ”

Ai Yin hurriedly leaned his head over and squeezed out his father: "Okay, hurry up and do your homework tomorrow, and I'll take you in the evening." ”

Ai Dong pressed the phone on the bed with a "snap", his eyes widened, and he looked ruthless: "There is still tomorrow?"

"Hehe...... "Ain reached out to touch his father's arm, his fingers learned to crawl with small insects, and crawled all the way to the phone, with a smirk on his face, "I can't ...... I brush the dishes"

"A week. Ai Dong pressed his mobile phone, iron-faced and selfless.

"Ugh. Ai Yin gritted his teeth, grabbed his father's finger and snatched back the phone, plugged in the charging head and put it on the bedside table, then glanced at his father, and saw that he was still pretending to be ruthless, so he snorted heavily, and lay down in anger, covering himself in the quilt.

After struggling for a few seconds, she secretly pulled down the quilt again, revealing half of her head, and asked pitifully, "If you eat hot pot, do you want me to brush it?"

Ai Dong pursed his lips and nodded: "Well, today is hot pot week." ”

"Hey, hey, scaring again. Aine scoffed and reached out to pinch her father's arm.

"Don't do this, 12-year-old girls are no longer cute. Ai Dong patted his daughter's arm, got up and got out of bed with a straight face, and his voice sank unconsciously, "In addition, Jiang Ruomo is going to a prestigious school, if you take her to play these, her parents will prohibit you from dating." ”

Hearing this, Ai Yin closed her eyes angrily, hugged the quilt and stopped talking.

These words may be a little early for children, but Aidong has always made it clear what is right and wrong.

When he walked to the door, Ain suddenly sat up again: "Dad, it's so dark in the house......"

"You're 12 years old. Aidong still had a straight face.

"I want to be with my mother too, but ......" Ain raised his right hand and sprinkled a semicircle, "You just think of the birthday magic as if there is a delay, okay?"

Ai Dong didn't say anything and walked out of the room.

Ain pounded the bed and muttered to herself, "...... At 12 years old, is it really not cute anymore?"

She was about to lie down with a sullen breath when the sound of distant footsteps returned.

Ai Dong hugged the pillow quilt, turned around and closed the door with a disgusted face: "Don't be too crowded." ”

"Hey, hey. Ai Yin sat up suddenly, picked up the pink pillow in the shape of a pony and put it on the outside of the bed, gave more than half to Daddy, took Daddy's pillow with a smile on his face, and his mouth was not idle, "Dad, you didn't play games before, did you?"

"Who didn't come here at this age. Ai Dong jumped and lay on the bed, and because of his weight, he bounced Ai Yin up.

"It's fat. Ai Yin slapped his father's belly hard, and then covered the quilt and lay on his side, raising eyebrows at his father, "When you were a child, did you also play like me?"

"Hmm. Ai Dong lay down with his palms on his pillow, "I was beaten no less." ”

Ai Yin grinned and hugged his father's arm: "You're so stupid, can't you be a fool like me?"

"If a boy is coquettish, he will only be beaten harder. Aidong swallowed and foamed.

Ain chuckled, "The boy is miserable. ”

Ai Dong looked at the ceiling, and those foolish days were still very clear: "When I was in college, a group of heartless people got together and almost didn't graduate, I don't want you to waste your youth like this." ”

"Do you regret it?" asked Ain, blinking.

"Huh?"

"Do you regret wasting your youth?"

"Hmm......" Ai Dong smiled unconsciously, "No, it was the happiest day of my life." ”

"Hmph!" Aine suddenly glared and pinched his father's nose, "You said two days ago that the happiest moment in my life was when I was born." ”

Ai Dong covered his nose and scolded: "How can women's concerns be so strange. ”

"Anyway, you're lying, do you want to punish you for washing dishes?" Al Yin laughed as she pulled her father's nose.

"That's what you're calling me for?" Ai Dong grabbed his daughter's arm and scolded, "You're only 12 years old, isn't this scheming a little scary?"

"I'm twisted, your nose is ugly. Ai Yin bullied his father without mercy, "Each deceived someone once, and I arrived!"

"Okay, okay, it's over. Aidong couldn't laugh or cry.

"Fight with me?" Ain let go with satisfaction, and wiped it on his father's quilt by the way.

Ai Dong rubbed his nose and glared at his daughter, "What are you doing, you think I'm disgusting?"

"This ...... Yin Yin is a clean little girl after all......" Ai Yin avoided her father's questioning, quickly got back into the bed, and yawned exaggeratedly, "Suddenly so sleepy, you can go, good night love you~"

"It's over, it's over, it's at that stage. Ai Dong covered his face, "If you continue like this, you will say, 'Daddy stinks and stay away from me'." ”

"Oh, not yet. Ain waved his hand perfunctorily.

"What do you mean it?" This time Ai Dong began to cheat, "You are already thinking about it like this? My character is already like Su Daqiang?"

"Hahaha. Ai Yin swooped over, rubbed hard against his father's face, and giggled, "Don't worry, I secretly dislike you in my heart at most, secretly." ”

Ai Dong's old face was rubbed by his daughter like this, and the middle-aged heart of the iceberg collapsed instantly, and there was no scum left for a strict father, a lesson or something.

Oh, forget it, isn't it just for this moment to raise a daughter, if the son would have been withdrawn earlier.

What a strict father and loving father, come and come, Dad will play games with you.

Although his heart has completely fallen, Ai Dong's face is still tight, and he gently kicked his daughter: "Stay away, it stinks." ”

"You still think of me?" Ain grabbed Daddy's neck, "Then I'll have to give you some color." ”

Aidong has never won a fight with his daughter, and every time he ends up being reduced to a large plush toy.

After the battle, Ain's leg was straddled on his father's stomach, so that he could stay steady.

Sleepiness also came unexpectedly, Ai Yin's eyelids drooped little by little, but he still didn't want to sleep, and always tried his best to open his eyes: "Since...... Dad also likes to play games, why don't you play ...... rarely"

"Nobody's together. Ai Dong sighed casually.

"Then ......," said Ain in a daze, "I...... Take you ......."

Hearing this, Aidong lost his mind for a moment.

Imagine playing a game with your daughter......

"Daddy is here to save me!"

"Dad, you're the most handsome!"

Aidong swallowed and foamed.

He coughed, tried his best to suppress his cheapness, and said very casually: "When your final exam is over, I want to buy myself a game console, do you say to buy a PS or XBOX?"

"Whew......" The daughter's thin snoring blew on his neck.

"Really...... It's so irresponsible. Aidong pushed his daughter's leg down.

Ai Yin was pushed awake and rolled over a little irritably: "Don't ...... Don't be coquettish...... I know mom is gone, you're lonely...... I'll keep you company...... Call...... Whew......"

Ai Dong was stunned for a moment.

After doing it for a long time, I was the one who was taken care of......

After making sure that his daughter was asleep, he got up again, wiped his saliva for his daughter, covered the thin quilt, and went back to his bedroom with the pillow quilt.

Ai Dong lay on his side on the double bed, looking at the empty pillow next to him, which seemed to be stained with hair.

Wu Xin, the most difficult days have passed, and life has returned to the right track.

Yin Yin is very strong, only 12 years old, she knows to take care of me.

I'll give her your share together.
