Ming Jin looked at the three people at the door with big eyes, and said to Ke'er beside him, "My daddy and mommy are coming to pick me up, goodbye, Ke'er." ”

Kerr blinked, Daddy?

Before he could figure out what was going on, Ming Jin let go of her hand and walked away.

Ke'er walked up to her father, looked at Ming Jin, who was being held by the two fathers in turn, and asked puzzledly, "Dad, why does Ming Jin have two fathers?"

"This" Ke'er's father didn't know how to answer for a while, and directly diverted the topic, "Mom made the pudding you like to eat, shall we go back and eat it?"

"That's great. ”

Children are like this, they are easily distracted, but there is a man in the crowd with a peaked cap, who records all the words of the father and daughter, and then disappears into the crowd.

Qiu Jinghao took Ming Jin's hand and sat in the car, and Mu Ziqian and Stefan also sat in the car.

When I arrived at Qingfeng Garden, the sunset on the horizon had just revealed a shy flush.

Aunt Wen stood at the door to greet her, knowing that Stefan was coming for dinner today, she instructed the kitchen to serve guests tonight with Western food.

"Young Master, Young Grandma, Mr. Stefan. Aunt Wen greeted them one by one, took Ming Jin's hand, lowered her head and looked at the children beside her with a smile, "The little young master is back, are you happy in the kindergarten today?"

"Very happy. ”

The child's immature voice told about the interesting things he experienced in the kindergarten during the day, Qiu Jinghao tilted his head sideways, looking at his happy appearance, and Mu Ziqian and Stefan behind him had the same soft eyes.

Towards the end of dinner, Mu Ziqian raised his glass and said to Stefan, "I wish you a smooth journey in advance." ”

Stefan looked at Mu Ziqian, "Thank you." ”

After the meal, Stefan received a call from his assistant Anne Huà, there was a show that needed to change the venue temporarily, Stefan connected with Anne Shì Pín and talked for more than an hour before finally finalizing the venue.

Walking out of the guest room, he saw the light in the living room on the second floor, and there was Ming Jin's happy laughter, and he followed the sound.

I saw Mu Ziqian playing chess with Jiao Mingjin, and Qiu Jinghao sat on the side, becoming a loyal audience and cheerer for the children.

Stefan stopped, he remembered that when Ming Jin first started playing chess, it was not as high as the dining table at home, and he had to sit on a child seat to see the chessboard, and he patiently taught him what each chess piece represented and the rules of the game.

The memories of the old days are vivid, and many distant pictures are coming like a tide, seeing the current Mingjin, so that Stefan not only sighs that time flies so fast, but in a blink of an eye, Mingjin is going to elementary school.

As if sensing the gaze behind him, Ming Jin turned his head and smiled brightly, "Stefan, come on, see if I have made progress in playing chess." ”

Mu Ziqian raised his eyes solemnly and steadily, glanced at Stefan, and Qiu Jing also looked for prestige, "Are you done?"

Stefan nodded, walked in slowly, moved a chair and sat behind Ming Jin.

Looking at the moment when his small hand picked up the chess piece and placed it firmly on the chessboard, Stefan seemed to have returned to the past.

From Ming Jin's birth to staggering walking, to later babbling, when he heard him shout out that crisp daddy, Stefan's heart was about to melt, and too many precious memories converged into a colorful picture scroll, hanging on the house in his heart.

"Wow! I won Daddy Hahaha Mommy, Stefan, look, you guys look, I won Daddy hehe" Ming Jin jumped up happily, pointed to the chessboard, with a proud face, he looked happy, like a cheerful deer.

Ming Jin threw himself into Stefan's arms, hugged his neck and drilled on him, and his fluffy hair made Stefan laugh helplessly.

He hugged his petite body and hugged Ming Jin tightly, for fear that he would fall when he was frolicking.

The man's big palm supported the child's body, and his eyes showed a soft light, and Mu Ziqian saw four words in Stefan's eyes, fatherly love like a mountain.

Stefan is going to leave tomorrow's plane, and he took Ming Jin to take a bath at night, Mu Ziqian and Qiu Jing sat in Ming Jin's room, listening to the laughter of the two in the bathroom, looked at each other, and smiled slightly.

In the bathroom, Stefan helped Ming Jin take a shower and wrapped him in a wide bath towel.

The child's hair was soft and fluffy, and Stefan took a towel to help him gently wipe it.

"Mingjin. ”

"Huh?" Ming Jin raised his head and looked at the tall man in front of him.

Stefan slowly squatted down, wiped his hair for him, and said with a smile: "Son, will you forget Daddy?"

Ming Jin's big watery eyes blinked, "Of course not." Why do you say that?"

Stefan continued to wipe, "Keep your head down, I'll dry your hair." ”

Ming Jin lowered his head according to Stefan's meaning, the towel covered Ming Jin's vision, and only heard the man's deep voice above his head.

"Son, Daddy is going to be busy for a while, we may not see each other for a while, will you miss me?"

"Of course you will!" Ming Jin asked again, "Are you going to hold a fashion show?"

Stefan's hand froze, "yes." To be busy with a big show. ”

"Then when you're done, come and see me, okay?" Ming Jin grabbed the man's hand, and the little head melon came out of the towel and smiled at him.

The light in Stefan's eyes is gentle and infinite, and when he faces Mingjin, he will always be aroused of the fatherly love in his heart.

"Hmm. He agreed, "I'll come and see you when I'm done." ”

Ming Jin suddenly remembered something, and said happily: "Isn't there still shǒu jī and a computer? I can call you diàn huà, and I can also talk to you shì pín, and we will still meet." He put his arms around Stefan's neck and pressed his cheek to the cheek and said, "So that I can see you whenever I miss you." ”

Stefan's eyes moved slightly, and he hugged the child's small body, "Mingjin, I'm going to meet San Francisco tomorrow, call Daddy." ”

Ming Jin let go of the man and kissed him on the cheek, "Daddy, I love you so much." ”

Stefan curled his lips and hugged Mingjin, "Daddy loves you too." ”

The conversation in the bathroom was heard word by word by the two people outside.

Qiu Jing looked at Mu Ziqian, the latter looked indifferent, Stefan's love for Ming Jin is from the heart, this nurturing grace, he has no right to deprive him, not to mention that Ming Jin also likes Stefan very much.

Stefan walked out of the bathroom with Ming Jin in his arms, and the first person he saw was Mu Ziqian, who looked calm, walked to the bed, lifted the quilt, put down the child, and helped him cover the quilt.

Qiu Jinghao took a storybook to Stefan, turned to the page that he read yesterday, and the couple calmly exited Ming Jin's room, and inside the door, there was a man's low and melodious reading voice.

A fairy tale begins with a dream and ends with a beautiful ending, and the child falls asleep with a sweet smile.

Stefan sat on the edge of Ming Jin's bed for a long time, looking at the child's face, recalling the things he had done since he was a child, and finally overlapping with what he was now.

Mingjin, grown up.

Stefan got up and gently kissed the child on the forehead, "Son, goodbye." ”

He turned around and walked out of the room, closing the door carefully, and when he turned around, he saw Mu Ziqian leaning against the wall of the corridor.

Stefan stood up straight and said calmly: "I raised him for six years, you won't deprive him of this affection, right?"

Mu Ziqian lowered his head and smiled silently, "No." There is one more person in this world who loves Mingjin, why should I mind?"

Stefan froze.

Mu Ziqian pointed his chin towards the terrace, "Let's go, let's go sit for a while." With that, the man walked towards the end of the hallway.

Stefan followed.

At the end of summer, the evening breeze is cool, driving away the heat of the day.

Under the ink-soaked sky, it seems to be scattered a plate of fine diamonds, dotted with stars, a round of sickle moon, high in the clear night sky.

Mu Ziqian propped his arms on the fence, took a cigarette and handed it to Stefan, who shook his head, "I don't smoke, thank you." ”

"Do you not smoke, or don't smoke?" Mu Ziqian's hand holding the cigarette stopped in mid-air.

Stefan stared at the cigarette, "After Jing Cheng became pregnant, I was sensitive to the smell of smoke, and since then, I have quit smoking. ”

Mu Ziqian put the cigarette over again, Stefan looked at it, and reached out to take it, "Thank you." ”

Mu Ziqian chuckled, took out a lighter and lit it for him, and lit another one for himself.

On the quiet terrace, two tall men dressed in moonlight, smoking leisurely.

"You don't have to mind me, you can come to see him when you want to be Mingjin, after all," Mu Ziqian paused, "He is also your son." He is the son of all of us. ”

Stefan took a deep puff of his cigarette and exhaled it slowly, the smoke blurring his face.

"Thank you. ”

"Thanks for what. Mu Ziqian turned his head to look at him, "It's all a family, it should be." ”

At this time, Mu Ziqian was free and easy, which made Stefan respect him from the heart.

"I plan to expand the market for tarot cards, so the future will be very busy, and I may not come to see Mingjin very often. ”

Mu Ziqian understood Stefan's thoughts, and he wanted to hide.

"Stefan, do you think you can hide from Jing Hao and not love her?"

“”

Mu Ziqian's words broke Stefan, and he froze there motionless, not knowing how to answer this question.

Mu Ziqian raised his head to look at the moon in the sky, "I hid her for seven years, I thought that the days of separation would indifferent my feelings for her, but after experiencing it, I realized that my longing will only become stronger and stronger, and it will not change because of time and space." So, instead of blindly running away, it is better to face reality. What if you love her, it's just a feeling in your heart, a quiet heart is in me, I don't mind, just like you love Mingjin, I'm very happy, there is just one more person in the world who loves him. It's the same with Jing Hao, what if you love her, nothing will change!"

After listening to Mu Ziqian's words, Stefan suddenly felt relieved, he didn't have a heavy sense of guilt, or his heart was shrouded in dark emotions, he faced Qiu Jinghao and Ming Jin very calmly.

In this world, he loves these two people, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Stefan took a deep breath and quipped, "Your mouth is much more powerful than your fist." ”

Mu Ziqian remembered that the two almost clashed in the ward, and couldn't help but smile absurdly, "Don't mind, we don't fight or make a deal!" He took the initiative to reach out to Stefan, who also held the other party's hand.

Friendship between men is established in this moment.

Compared with the conversation between the two in the hospital, Mu Ziqian prefers tonight's communication, like a pair of old friends, chatting about the passing of time, the triumph and frustration of life, everything is so calm and natural, quiet and beautiful.
