22. Encounter
She hugged the baby tightly and didn't say a word, just patted him on the back gently.
He is still so young, he has been wronged and needs to vent.
When he was crying there and sobbing and slowly subsided, Ye Ning gently coaxed him: "Baby, when others say this, it's because others don't understand." β
She picked up the photo and gently put it in Nan Nan's hand: "But in this photo, it's really your father, you see, his hair is also a little crooked, and his forehead is as wide as yours, as well as these eyes, nose and eyebrows." β
Her fingers gently stroked the black hair in the photo, as well as the slightly stern eyebrows and eyes, and said softly, "Doesn't the baby think he looks like him?" Only father and son can look so alike. β
Nan Nan stopped sobbing, looked at the photo with red eyes, and then turned out the makeup mirror in her mother's bag and looked at herself in the mirror.
He frowned and compared it carefully, his nose, eyes, mouth, forehead, and black hair seemed to be a bit similar.
After watching it for a long time, he was skeptical: "But why do others say it's not." β
Ye Ning hugged his little body: "That's because they don't understand that your father is a very amazing person, so they don't believe that Nan Nan has such a great father." But it doesn't matter, we don't need to let them know, we just need to know in our hearts. β
It's a bit difficult for a little kid, but she can only try to teach him that.
Nan Nan had calmed down at this time, he thought about it, his bright eyes blinked, and finally nodded:
"Mom, I see!"
After coaxing the baby, she drove home, cooked and ate, etc., which is still the same process.
After eating, she deliberately accompanied Nan Nan to play for a while, Nan Nan piled up the small Lego particles into a machine qΓ¬ person, and then pointed to the machine qΓ¬ person and said: "Look, I piled it up according to my father's appearance, does it look like it?" β
Ye Ning nodded: "It's very similar!" The baby is so good! β
Finally, when Nan Nan fell asleep, Ye Ning returned to his room tiredly.
She suddenly felt that she was too selfish, and her selfish self actually didn't take good care of her son at all. The son is now older, six years old, in fact, he just needs a father!
Exhausted, she turned on the computer, remembering the strangeness of Tongtong's mother and Tuan Tuan's mother after seeing her during the day, she entered the mother's buckle group to see what everyone was talking about.
But as soon as everyone saw her coming, they soon fell silent.
When she saw it, she knocked Tongtong's mother directly: Did something happen that I don't know about?
Tongtong's mother was very embarrassed: It's okay, hehe.
Ye Ning simply asked directly: Can you sue me?
Tongtong's mother was silent over there for a while, and then said: There are some rumors outside, about you, it's not good anyway.
Ye Ning twisted his eyebrows and thought about it: Is it about Nan Nan's life experience?
Tongtong's mother: Alas, yes, I don't think so, and I don't believe it, but everyone says so.
Ye Ning: Thank you for telling me, can you tell me more about it?
Tongtong's mother: They said that you are not married, and they also said that Nan Nan's father has a family......
As soon as she said this, Ye Ning immediately understood, it was nothing more than saying that she was a junior, and Nan Nan was an illegitimate child outside.
These mothers, they all put themselves in the position of the main room, and no one must like the junior, hearing the news, thinking that they are being the junior, they are naturally a little repulsed.
Tongtong's mother was kind enough to persuade over there: Also, you hurry up and tell sΓΉ Nan Nan, the photo downloaded from the Internet is a very famous person, so that others can see it at a glance.
Ye Ning didn't know what to explain at this time, but just replied: Thank you.
After turning off the computer, she decided that she needed to take Nan Nan to a new environment.
She put the house on the sales office, sold it at a low price, and stepped up to start looking at the new house. Xiao Yue said that the house left to her was here, but she understood that what Nan Nan needed was not a cold house.
On this day, she settled Nan Nan at home first, and went downstairs to buy vegetables by herself, but when she came up, the elevator broke down, saying that it was a temporary repair. Thinking that she lived on the eighth floor, it was easy to climb up, so she just exercised, so she simply climbed up with vegetables.
When I climbed to the seventh floor, it happened that the door of the seventh floor resident opened.
The seventh floor is downstairs for her, and no one has lived in it, which makes Ye Ning a little lucky, because Nan Nan loved to jump when she was a child, for fear of disturbing others, and no one has lived there, so she can be casual.
At this time, the people on the seventh floor opened the door, carrying garbage in their hands and wearing 3M masks.
Ye Ning nodded politely and continued to climb up.
But when she climbed to the corner of the stairs, she suddenly realized something, and suddenly her whole body froze there.
Just now, that person, although she was wearing a mask, she felt that those eyes were familiar, and that person seemed to be a little stunned when she saw herself.
She stopped, clutched the plastic bag in her hand, and stood motionless.
Every pore of her body tensed, and her breathing was a little rapid, but now she was more sensitive than ever, and she could sensitively feel that the occupant on the seventh floor, he was holding the doorknob with one hand, and he didn't move.
The air around her seemed to freeze there, and she took a deep breath and stiffened her back.
She stood at the top of the stairs, looking down at the doorway to the seventh floor.
There, the man wearing the 3M mask was also looking at her steadily.
As she turned around, the man looked away.
Ye Ning walked down step by step, looked at him sideways, and looked at him at eye level: "Xiao Yue? β
Her voice was slightly trilled, but her expression remained calm and light.
The man raised his hand and took off the mask on his face, revealing deep facial features.
This face is really familiar to Ye Ning now, he is really Xiao Yue.
His face was not very good-looking, with a blue-white color from his early recovery, and he looked very thin now, and his white shirt was empty on him.
Maybe it was because he had been standing for too long, he even held the doorknob with one hand, and his tightly pursed lips were a little white.
Ye Ning raised his face and looked at him: "You have always lived here?" β
Xiao Yue nodded.
Ye Ning breathed a sigh of relief, looked into the room through his broad but thin shoulders, and could see the living room at a glance, the layout was naturally exactly the same as the one she lived in, but it was empty, like a rough house, and there was no decoration at all.
She raised her eyebrows: "Since you live here, shouldn't you invite me in?" β
Xiao Yue looked a little unable to react, he was stunned when he heard this, glanced at her, nodded, and then let go of the door.
Ye Ning put the bag of vegetables in the hallway, and then walked into the living room unceremoniously, and after looking around, he looked at the bedroom balcony and other places.
It's the same layout as her, but there's really nothing in it, and there's a big bed in the master bedroom, which is quite luxurious, and it looks like it's been here for years.
There wasn't even a cabinet next to it, let alone a chair.
The living room is completely empty, there is a rice cooker in the kitchen, it seems that he has opened the fire by himself, and there are all kinds of packaging boxes and bags in the kitchen trash can, probably for takeout?
Ye quietly swept all over the house, and finally his gaze fell on his face.
Xiao Yue obviously felt a little hidden, and he didn't even dare to meet her gaze, and looked directly at the floor on the side.
The floor was empty, there was nothing.
Ye Ning looked up at the ceiling: "According to my experience, in your position, you can hear a lot of movement upstairs, walking or something, I guess you can hear it." β
Her baby loved to play and jump when he was a child, and if he lived here, he probably could hear it clearly.
When Xiao Yue heard this, he pursed his lower lip and said in a dumb voice: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to peep at you, I-"
When Ye Ning heard this, he suddenly laughed.
She sighed and looked at Xiao Yue helplessly: "Don't you think it's better to go upstairs than to live here alone?" β
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yue was obviously a little confused.
Maybe it's the habit of giving orders in the company, although he is sick, but there is naturally a very strict and deep momentum in his gestures, and now he is so confused, it is a little contradictory, as if he is obviously a very shrewd person, but he is starting to make stupid.
He was silent, pursed his lips and looked at Ye Ning, Ye Ning was smiling, and he was smiling at him, it was rare to smile gently and softly, like a cool breeze in summer, hitting his face.
Xiao Yue lowered his head: "Ye Ning, I ......"
His voice was particularly low.
Ye Ning looked into his eyes: "Xiao Yue, don't you want to see Nan Nan?" Don't you know that he really needs a dad? Or are you just looking at him from afar, not even hugging him? β
Xiao Yue hurriedly spoke: "Ye Ning, I didn't mean that. β
Ye Ning nodded: "Okay, since you don't mean that, then go up for me, you have to remember that it is not only my son, but also your son." β
Xiao Yue's forehead hair drooped slightly, cutting his deep gaze, he stared at her, and nodded after half a sound: "Hmm." β
So Ye Ning walked in front, Xiao Yue obediently followed behind, and the two of them went upstairs together.
Ye Ning handed the dish in his hand to Xiao Yue: "Take it." β
Xiao Yue hurriedly took it.
Although he was sick and thin after major surgery, he was tall, and his skeleton was there, so he was so big and carrying a bag of vegetables, and he looked a little incongruous.
After Ye Ning glanced at him, he took out the key from his bag and opened the door.
After the door opened, Nan Nan was playing with building blocks in the second bedroom, and when she heard the movement, she knew that her mother was back, and shouted casually: "Mom, you're back." β
Ye Ning changed into slippers by himself and found another pair of slippers for Xiao Yue. But there are no men's slippers at home, and it's kind of funny that he's wearing that.
Xiao Yue was still holding the vegetables in his hand, and after he changed into slippers, he looked like he didn't know what to do.
Ye Ning: "You go and put the dishes in the kitchen." β
Xiao Yue looked at her, under the soft light in the hallway, her eyebrows and eyes were soft and beautiful, her expression was gentle and light, and she spoke so casually, as if this was a matter of course.
He nodded, took the food and put it in the kitchen.
Nan Nan didn't come out in the second bedroom, and when she heard this, she probed her brain curiously: "Mom, who did you talk to just now?" β
Ye Ning closed the door, poured himself a glass of lemonade, and said calmly, "Your father is here." β
