Chapter 43: Birthday Present
"Yes, but okay, when the rain stops, you'll go find a place to stay. Su Ran was very calm, didn't mess with me, and continued to eat.
This surprised me a little that when I suddenly changed my personality, he didn't drive me away.
I put some medicine on her feet, pinched her, and sent her back to her room to rest.
I didn't go out for the next two days, but I sat in front of the computer in my room, wrote an article, and revised it more than ten times before I was satisfied.
But I didn't have a clue about the title of the article for a while, and after smoking three cigarettes in a row on the balcony, my mind was still a little messy, and I couldn't think of a suitable title, which made it difficult for me to sleep.
"Chen Jin, I told you, don't smoke in the house, you can't enter the balcony, you not only smoke in the house, but also run to the balcony. Su Ran appeared behind me, dressed in pajamas, glaring at me.
Like a ruthless little lioness.
"I opened the window. I pointed to the window.
"Don't forget, you're living in my house now, I'm just letting you live temporarily. Su Ran didn't pay attention to my words at all.
"Don't say that, didn't I teach you how to cook? I extinguished my cigarette and threw it out the window.
Su Ran's eyes narrowed, obviously disgusted by my behavior.
"I don't smoke anymore, I really don't smoke anymore. I raised my hand in surrender and decided to go back to the house, and wait until I go to the company tomorrow to discuss with Tang Wan and a few people to see how to give this article a suitable title.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, I was stunned for a moment, it was already about 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, how could anyone still come, I glanced at Su Ran, could it be that she was looking for her?
Just as he was thinking about whether to avoid it, Su Ran went over and opened the door, and it was Chen Chen outside.
Chen Chen's eyes looked at me: "Brother Chen, you come out for a while." ”
I walked over: "What's wrong?"
"Just now a little girl knocked on the door, she said she was looking for someone, I asked her who she was looking for, she didn't say, she cried and went downstairs. I wondered if that little girl was coming to you, so I came over and asked you. Chen Chen said.
"How old is that little girl?" I hurriedly asked, feeling a bad feeling in my heart.
"Eight or nine years old, with a school bag. Chen Chen said.
Could it be Chen Ke?
But it's so late, how could Chen Ke suddenly find here?
I got nervous: "Where did she go?"
"Downstairs. Chen Chen said, "It's been about 20 minutes." ”
I didn't have time to say anything more and rushed downstairs.
Standing downstairs, I watched, the lights in the community were very dim, and it was raining, and I couldn't see anything at all in the middle of the night, and it was cold wind and night rain in my ears.
"Ake. I shouted.
There was no response, and I shouted twice, only to be cursed by one of the residents.
The premonition in my heart became stronger and stronger, it must be Chen Ke who came to look for me.
Carrying a schoolbag, who can she be at the age of eight or nine?
I'm very anxious, it's so late, why did Chen Ke suddenly come to me?
Something must have happened.
I rushed into the rain curtain, ran out of the neighborhood, and walked along the street, and the rain fell on my face and ran down my cheeks, and I didn't care, still keeping my eyes open for fear of missing it.
But I didn't see Chen Ke's shadow all the way, so I turned back and walked another way.
There are no people who are gone, and there are no people who have not seen Chen Ke.
Standing in place, I spun around in circles, trying to spot Chen Ke in the night.
At this time, I remembered to call Tong Wangjun to ask what was going on, but when I touched it in my pocket, there was nothing, I didn't have a mobile phone, and the mobile phone was left upstairs.
I ran upstairs, but I was only halfway through when I suddenly saw a figure huddled in the corner of a building.
I paused and walked over, "Ke?"
The figure looked up.
I rushed over and hugged her, "Where did you go? Why didn't you tell your father when you came?" ”
Chen Ke was soaking wet, just crying vigorously, convulsing, crying very sadly, and finally simply hugged my neck.
I wanted to put her down, but Chen Ke put his arms around my neck and wouldn't let go.
"Tell Daddy, did something happen? Did someone bully you?" I said, just asking.
Chen Ke was crying and wanted to speak, but when he opened his mouth, he was replaced by a whimper, and he clutched his schoolbag with both hands.
I picked her up into the elevator and went upstairs and banged on Su Ran's door.
"Excuse me, take the kids in and take a hot shower. "As soon as the door opened, I said to Su Ran.
Su Ran glanced at Chen Ke in my arms, didn't speak, nodded, and pulled Chen Ke to go into the bathroom.
"Give me the bag, what are you doing with it? Hurry up and take a hot shower, don't catch a cold, and I'll tell my dad later." I tried to take the schoolbag from Chen Ke's hand, but Chen Ke just didn't let go of it, and I didn't dare to push too hard, so she took the schoolbag into the bathroom.
I have too many doubts in my heart, why did Chen Ke come over at this time.
I went back to my room, picked up the phone and dialed Tong Wangjun, and made five or six calls in a row, but no one listened. At this moment, I couldn't wait to rush to Tong Wangjun, slap her, and ask her what she thought of the child.
With such a heavy rain and such a cold night, the child ran out alone.
The door of the bathroom opened, and Chen Ke walked out wearing Su Ran's clothes, which was very wide.
"Is it cold or not? Go to bed and lie down. I hurriedly walked up to Chen Ke, squatted down and wanted to reach out to hug her, but when I touched her, I realized that I was covered in water, so I stopped.
Chen Ke was still holding a schoolbag in his hand, and I became angry all of a sudden: "What are you still holding this broken schoolbag for?"
Chen Ke's tears flowed out again, staring at me, not speaking, and his hands holding the schoolbag turned white.
"You go take a shower, you're all wet like this. Su Ran said to me.
I didn't have the heart to take a shower, I just wanted to figure out what was going on, I looked at Chen Ke: "Tell my father, what happened?
Chen Ke shook his head.
"It's Xu Heng, did he beat you?" I guessed.
"Nope. This time, Chen Ke finally made a sound.
"Then why did you come here in the middle of the night?" I said, louder.
It's scary to think about an eight-year-old running from so far away at such a late hour.
"I miss you, Dad. Chen Ke cried.
"Because of this, you came here in the middle of the night?" I was annoyed, "why are you getting more and more ignorant now, do you know how worried it is? I just went out to look for you for almost an hour. Did you know?"
"Dad, you go and change your clothes first, your clothes are all wet, you will catch a cold. Chen Ke looked at me timidly.
Seeing her like this, I was even more angry in my heart, I was really afraid that something had happened to Chen Ke.
She actually ran over in the middle of the night because she thought of me, it was too nonsense.
I pulled her and hit her ass twice, and I was going to teach her a lesson so that she wouldn't dare to do this nonsense again.
"What are you doing beating children?" Su Ran pulled me.
"Teach her a lesson, lest she do this again. "I had a cold face.
Chen Ke cried loudly, big tears fell to the ground, and after a while, the clothes she changed into were wet again.
"Do you still dare to cry, do you dare to tell me that you will dare to do this in the future?" I scolded.
Chen Ke just cried, grabbing the strap of his schoolbag with both hands and twisting it vigorously, as if he had suffered a great grievance in his heart.
Seeing that she didn't admit her mistake and didn't answer, I became even more angry, pulled the schoolbag in her hand hard, threw it out, grabbed her, and hit her ass a few times: "Do you know it's wrong?
Chen Ke's crying neck trembled: "Birthday, tomorrow is my father's birthday, I want to celebrate my father's birthday." ”
I paused, and my hand stopped.
After a little recollection, I remembered that today was indeed my birthday.
I have never had the habit of celebrating birthdays, only one birthday when I was ten years old, but I didn't expect Chen Ke to remember that she came over in the middle of the night just to celebrate my birthday?
Chen Ke broke free from my grasp, ran to the schoolbag that was thrown out, carefully picked up the schoolbag, and then slowly opened it, and there was a cake inside, a cake that had not been formed.
I was completely stunned.
"Dad, this is my birthday present for you, I bought you a cake, but it is broken. Chen Ke walked up to me with his schoolbag in his arms, very sad.
