Zhao Ning stood outside the door of the Jiang family, not daring to go in and not wanting to escape, her fingers were tightly clasped, she had been entangled there. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Zhuo Meng, who had parked the car, took Zhao Ning's little luggage and took a step to the door, and from a distance, she saw Zhao Ning standing at the door in a daze. Stunned, she stopped, looking at Zhao Ning's appearance, she probably guessed some reasons why she didn't enter the door.

She...... I'm afraid he'll get angry.

"Mom!"

She called Zhao Ning, and Zhao Ning looked back and saw that it was her who showed a slight smile. She smiled too, walked up to her and grabbed her arm.

"Why don't you go in when you get to the door?"

Zhao Ning smiled faintly, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were slightly curved in a gentle arc, which was very good-looking.

"I'm waiting for you."

She said. Zhuo Meng smiled, knowing that what she said was not entirely true, but she was still happy, and grabbed her wrist, and she pulled her towards the house.

"Let's go."

Zhao Ning nodded and followed her into the gate of the Chu family.

……

"Mom! ……”

As soon as he heard the movement downstairs, Xiaoxi rushed downstairs and threw himself into Zhuo Meng's arms.

"Slow down ......"

Looking at the little meat ball that flew over, Zhuo Meng was overjoyed and frightened at the same time, she was really afraid that Xiaoxi would accidentally bump into it. Xiao Xi threw herself into her mother's arms, giggling, twisting her fleshy little body and spoiling at her.

"Why are you only coming back now, it's getting dark, and I still want you to play with me."

Twisting Xiaoxi's chubby face, Zhuo Meng nodded Xiaoxi's nose and coaxed her.

"Didn't Mom go to pick up Grandma, that's why she came back so late. What about Xiaoxi, is Xiaoxi obedient today? ”

"Of course there is, Dad said that if there is something today and he wants me not to disturb him, I will obediently not bother him."

When Xiao Xi said the word Dad, Zhao Ning, who was standing behind Zhuo Meng, shuddered involuntarily, Zhuo Meng also noticed her reaction, looked at her face, and asked Xiao Xi cautiously.

"Where's Daddy?"

Xiaoxi didn't notice her mother's abnormality, and she still looked happy.

"In the study, it seems to be very busy."

"Really......"

Afraid that Zhao Ning would be sad, Zhuo Meng brought Xiaoxi in front of her and hurriedly changed the topic.

"Xiaoxi, come and say hello to grandma."

"Grandma'......"

This trick worked very well, Zhao Ning heard Xiaoxi's call, his heart was warm, and he was not so uncomfortable.

"Eh, Xiaoxi is so good, come, let grandma hug you."

Zhao Ning stretched out her arms towards Xiaoxi, she didn't recognize her life at all, and threw herself into her grandmother's arms, making Zhao Ning laugh. Zhuo Meng, who saw this scene, also felt very relieved, without Jiang Chufan's welcome and Xiaoxi's regret that he could comfort Zhao Ning, it was not a good thing.

……

As expected, Jiang Chufan was still in the study until after dinner, and someone knew about this result early on, so he prepared a supper for him in advance, but she didn't dare to disturb him, so she could only let Zhuo Meng be this good person for her.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

After knocking on the door three times, Zhuo Meng stood outside the door of the study and waited for Jiang Chufan to come back to his senses and invite her in. After a while, Jiang Chufan raised his head, and the moment he saw Zhuo Meng, a smile appeared on his face that had been stiff for a day.

"You're here."

"Hmm."

She answered, and with the tray of the cups, she walked towards him.

"Are you done?"

She asked him, and he looked at the folder on the table that had not moved, smiled awkwardly, and looked at her, and he said casually.

"Almost."

She smiled at him and placed the tray on her desk, which she scooped into the bowl she had prepared.

"Since things are almost busy, let's put it aside for a while, eat something and then do it, you haven't eaten today."

She handed him the bowl with the food, and he took it, glancing at the contents of the bowl, and the smile on his face froze and stiffened a little.

"Lantern Festival."

"Hmm...... Don't like it? ”

She cautiously tested him, but he didn't notice her careful thoughts, and he smiled a little bitterly as he looked at the white jade balls in the bowl.

"No, it's just...... It's been a long time since I've eaten it, and I've almost forgotten that there is such a thing in this world. ”

He said so lonely that even Zhuo Meng, who was standing on the side, was infected and felt a little sad.

"Taste it and see how it tastes."

Zhuo Meng urged him, he smiled at her, scooped a lantern festival, and he tasted it...... Very familiar taste, déjà vu.

"How's it going, is it delicious?"

Zhuo Meng's whole body tensed, and he asked him cautiously but didn't dare to urge too much. He smiled faintly and said to her.

"Not bad."

Fortunately, he was not disgusted, which made Zhuo Meng also breathe a sigh of relief. Looking for an opportunity, she told the origin of the bowl of Lantern Festival.

"Lantern Festival...... Mom did it. ”

In an instant, his body froze. No wonder...... Putting down the spoon, his expression froze. Looking at his expression, Zhuo Meng sighed silently. Moving behind him, she hugged him.

"Are you angry with your mother or at yourself?"

She asked him, her head pressed against his, and she pulled away from his mind layer by layer.

"Didn't you cry so sadly because you were afraid that she would leave you, and now that she's back, why did you turn her away again?"

"yes, I don't know, what I think."

As if sighing, he said this, and looked up, and he looked at her at last with a smile, his hand attached to hers, and his head against hers for a little relief.

"Zhuo Meng...... I'm used to it, I'm used to living without her, I'm used to hating her, she suddenly comes back, standing in front of me, I suddenly don't know, I don't know how to get along with her, can you know how I feel. ”

"I know ......"

Of course, Zhuo Meng knew that feeling, and she also had this experience for her father. Nodding his head heavily, Zhuo Meng hugged him tighter.

"I know all of that, but now that she's back, she's really in front of you, you have to get used to it, don't you?"

He was silent, holding her hand, and he suddenly closed his eyes, looking very weak.

"Take your time......"

……

"Daddy, hurry up and ......"

Early in the morning, Xiaoxi's voice resounded throughout the room. Zhuo Meng and Zhao Ning were very surprised, Jiang Chufan would have breakfast with them today? Zhao Ning was faintly looking forward to it, looking for the source of the sound, she was careful but focused and refused to take her eyes off it.

Jiang Chufan, who was half-asleep and half-awake, was forcibly pulled downstairs by Xiao Xi, and at first glance, he met Zhao Ning's eager gaze, stopped, and he was stunned for a long time.

"Morning!"

Zhao Ning greeted him first, but in the face of his silence, she was smiling, for her, she was already very content that he was willing to stand in front of her.

Facing her bright smile, Jiang Chufan looked cramped.

"Early."

Hurriedly ending the topic, he pulled out the dining chair and sat down. Zhuo Meng, who was standing on the side, laughed secretly when she saw his crampedness, and served him a bowl of porridge, which she handed to him.

"Let's have breakfast, I'll be going to work in a moment."

He looked at her, smiling slightly.

"Hmm."

Lowering his head, his gaze was attracted by a plate of side dishes moved to his face, and when he raised his head, he looked at the original author in amazement.

"When you were a child, you didn't like to drink white porridge, you always had to eat side dishes......"

Zhao Ning knew that she shouldn't be reckless, but she couldn't help it, she wanted to show favor to him. Zhuo Meng on the side had already lifted her heart, and glanced at Zhao Ning's face, she was more concerned about Jiang Chufan's reaction. Looking at the side dishes in front of him, Jiang Chufan was stunned for a long time, then looked up at Zhao Ning, and he smiled slightly.

"Thank you!"

He said to her, his faint voice, although there was no extra emotion, but there was some warmth. Zhao Ning was stunned, she didn't expect him to respond to her, and the sudden thanks made her at a loss.

"No...... You are welcome. ”

In some haste, she picked up some side dishes with her chopsticks and put them in his porridge bowl.

"Taste it, it's fragrant."

He glanced at the little green in the bowl, picked up the spoon obediently, he tasted a bite of side vegetable porridge, chewed slowly, and looked at Zhao Ning with a smile.

"It's delicious."

He said that Zhao Ning was stunned in place, his face was sluggish, but a hundred kinds of tastes came to his heart, including sour, bitter, and ...... Sweet.
