Chapter 65: Better Better
Lele looked at me: "What did Dad say, do you want to see me?" β
Facing Lele's expectant gaze, I really couldn't say the words "Your father is not as good as an outsider". I can only say: "He is too busy to come, but he bought a book and sent it to you, and it will arrive by express delivery in a few days." β
"Oh~" Lele turned to the TV again and didn't ask again.
Originally, I said that I would watch a half-hour TV, but this time I couldn't bear to stop it, so let Lele watch it.
An hour passed, and there was still no news.
Well, it's me who is too naΓ―ve and thinks too well of my ex. Originally, I thought he would come with a bottle of milk tea and a 10 yuan toy, but now it seems that these are also saved. This bastard, it's going to die, it's just a non-human.
Two days later, the book came, and Lele took the book and flipped through it, but apparently, she was not very happy. I know that she wants her ex to come over, and the children want to be loved by their parents. It's my fault that I didn't pick a good father for my children.
At least the books I chose were not bad, and the books I chose before, I don't want to complain, what a thing, comic books, about preschool reading, and it's not what Lele is interested in. Anyway, he completed the task and bought the book to let the company know that he had a child and would not waste benefits.
Lele's illness finally recovered and went to school on Monday.
The fourth made an appointment with me again, this time not late, and came early.
No. 4 saw me coming alone: "Lele didn't bring it, she's not well yet?" β
"Okay, but I don't want her to be too tired, let her rest more." I found a suitable, innocuous reason. I didn't expect No. 4 to reject Lele, and hoped that I could bring it. And many men, on the other hand, want women to have no children.
"Were you too tired last time?" Number Four was a little remorseful.
I explained, "It's okay with the last time, children get sick all the time. Lele's resistance has been calculated, and some children have a cold and fever that does not stop. When almost all children enter kindergartens and schools, they will get sick a few times when they have a lot of contact with people. β
No. 4 seemed to have an understanding: "It's not easy to raise a child. β
Yes, raising a child is not easy. And my ex said something in front of my mother: "It's not difficult to raise children, what's so difficult." β
I had a big belly when he left, and I had to come back when I was born, and when I came back, Lele would already be able to walk, it was really too easy. It's really too easy for him, from getting married to raising children, it's so comfortable for him. I really hope that Comrade Bai Fumei and Qian Jingjing will have a child after marrying him, so that he can feel how easy it is to raise a child.
But maybe it's still easy to throw things away.
I smiled and then used the topic to probe: "Do you have children?" β
Number Four sat there, was quiet for two seconds, and replied, "You want?" β
"No, I don't want to." Of course, I quickly shook my head: "I'm past the best time to give birth, I can't raise it anymore, I already have a Lele, and I don't have any energy left, unless the man brings it up alone." β
"Then don't, it's enough to have Lele." Number Four spoke very seriously, although he always spoke seriously, but at this time I felt more and more hope, maybe happiness was really coming.
When the food was served, there were first four small plates of cold basins, and No. 4 beckoned: "I don't know if the dish I ordered will work, you can try it." β
"It doesn't matter, I'll eat everything." I picked up my chopsticks and tried the sweet and sour pork ribs.
"Hmm~" I nodded, my eyebrows were raised, the sweet and sour was moderate, the meat was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, quite good. I sandwiched a little bad edamame, which was very delicious.
There are also three spells of sugar lotus root and brine, which are very suitable for my appetite, and the meat and vegetables are quite well matched.
Hot dishes come up, mostly specialties here.
I wiped my mouth with a napkin and was quite satisfied: "You ordered it so well." β
"If you like to eat it, it's good to eat, and the back is wine-stuffed dumplings and shark fin cake." The one I ordered on the fourth is still what I like to eat.
The last dim sum came up, although these two things are essential for general restaurants, but they are still quite good.
But I found one thing, No. 4 didn't touch the chopsticks, and everything he ordered was in small portions, even if the wine-stuffed balls were a small bowl for a single person: "Don't you eat it?" Last time, too, you didn't eat anything. β
After looking at it around the fourth, he replied softly: "Actually, what I eat is different from that of earthlings, it's okay to eat less, but if you eat too much, you will have allergies, so I'd better go back and eat." β
I was a little regretful: "But I eat alone, but you look at it, and it feels weird and uncomfortable." β
"Then I'll eat a little, if you don't eat well, it's a big deal to wash your stomach." Number Four picked up the chopsticks.
As soon as I heard this, I immediately said, "Then don't eat it, let's go back and eat." Is there anything you can eat at the restaurant when you get back? β
Number Four: "I have it in my dorm, and I eat very simply." β
"That's it." I suddenly thought of something: "You don't want to eat something weird, bugs or something?" β
"Of course not." Four laughed: "You'll know later, it shouldn't affect your appetite." β
Maybe some substances in the body of No. 4 are not compatible with the food of the earth, just like some humans are allergic to eggs, chickens, milk, etc., so I am relieved.
There weren't a lot of things, they were all small plates and small bowls, but there were still leftovers from the hot stir-fry, so they were packed.
I felt like my stomach was round: "I ate so much today." β
Number Four looked at me, "Well, it seems like yes, let's go out for a walk then." β
"Okay, just to eliminate food." I readily agreed.
After putting the packing things in the trunk of the car in the parking lot, Number Four took me for a walk. There is a riverside avenue nearby, which is wide and cool, and the scenery is good. Walking slowly, it feels very comfortable.
"Do you have a long life span for the people there?" I asked.
"It's a long, long equivalent to a human being." Four replied, "I've been to many planets, but every time I go to a new place, it's like being reborn, and I have to relearn some things that I can't learn from local books and programs. β
"How long can you live?" I'm curious.
Number Four thought for a moment: "As long as you are older, this can accompany you to old age, without worrying that I will leave you first." β
Number Four's words touched my heart again and again, and they all said that it was a blessing for a woman to die in front of a man. In fact, there are many things that happen after death, or how to deal with the aftermath. If I can really die in front of the four, it will not be a fulfillment.
There are many couples walking along the riverside, some of them leaning on the railing and looking at the lights of the buildings on the other side of the river and the various boats passing by the river, and most of them hug each other and look at the scenery.
There happened to be another couple, the man put his arm around the woman's shoulders and passed by us.
Number Four turned his head to watch, knowing that they had walked about three or four steps before turning his head. He hesitated, then lifted his arm and put his arm around me.
Number Four put his hand around my shoulder, put his arm around me and continued to walk slowly. I bowed my head slightly and smiled secretly. No. 4 has always followed the rules, unlike some men, who have met for the second time, and have to make intimate gestures, and even ask to go to the hotel. He's a good man, a very, very good man.
In this way, No. 4 walked out of Binjiang Avenue with me in his arms, and when he saw that there were fewer men and women on the street, he turned to hold my hand.
There were women on the road who cast envious glances, I know that No. 4 is very handsome, very handsome, and so beautiful that he is like the male protagonist of an idol drama in a movie who has put on makeup and highlights. I didn't expect that I could get such a good boyfriend when I was older.
Number four's hand, the skin is very slippery, but the joints are very hard. I asked softly, "Do you do housework a lot?" β
"Huh? Yes, the dormitory needs to be cleaned, the house is too big, in fact, I live in one room is enough, and it is easy to clean. Number Four asked rhetorically: "Well, in the future, when you do housework, I can also help together, and if you cook food, it will not be difficult for me." How did you come up with this? β
I laughed, and by Four's side, I was happy: "Because someone told me that if you do too much housework, the bones of your fingers will be hard, and your hands will be hard." Or maybe you've done boxing or something, and your fingers are harder. β
Four smiled and continued walking.
I asked again, "Since the room is big, haven't you thought about asking someone to clean it?" β
"No, I don't like people coming into my room, and it's not hard to clean this kind of thing. I got an automatic sweeper, and I didn't have a lot of furnishings, just a table. The glass windows are cleaned by a special cleaning team sent by the bureau every year. Number Four looked sideways at me: "I don't like people coming into my room, but my family can." β
I smiled silently, and was held by the hand by Number Four...... I can't help but be sweet in my heart, No. 4 likes me, did he just hint that he would consider me as his future family? People want to be liked by the people they like.
The car stopped in front of the house, and Number Four got out of the car and handed me the packed meals. It's not just the lunch box, but there are other things: "The souvenirs I brought back from my business trip are pear juice gummies and pear juice cakes, so let's eat them for Lele." β
"Actually, you don't have to." I smiled bitterly, even if this thing is lighter than a pear and has a longer warranty, but I have to hold it when I bring it: "She has tooth decay." β
"It doesn't contain sucrose, it's all natural fructose from pear juice. I also bought two cans of sugar-free chewing gum for her to chew on after eating. "Number Four is quite thoughtful.
"Thanks, I'm sorry." I accepted it.
Number Four said softly: "Don't think about how to return the gift, these are just small things, not very valuable, think too much, you will live a very tired life." You don't owe me anything, it's that I want to see you happy, and if you become my family, you should have as little trouble as possible, shouldn't you? β
Once again, I was moved, deeply moved...... Number Four understands me and understands what kind of person I am. Yes, I don't want to owe someone something, I always want to think about how to pay it back. Number four was so good to me that I didn't even know how to repay him.
Number Four looked at me, thought of something, and laughed: "If you want to give me something back, then like the woman in the movie, kiss me as a farewell." β
"Phew~" I took a sip.
"Angry?" Number Four seemed a little nervous: "Isn't this rude?" β
Probably only young boys ask like this, but when No. 4 asks it, it doesn't make people annoy and think he is naΓ―ve, it seems that he is indeed the first love on earth.
I tried to pretend to be angry, and I had to bite my lip tightly to keep it from laughing. Carrying things to the house, when he arrived at the door, he turned his head to No. 4 and said, "Be nice to me, I'll consider kissing you." β
Four, with a nervous look, suddenly laughed. I also like to watch him laugh, and I go home with a smile.
When I got home, I stuffed the lunch box into the refrigerator and put the souvenir delivered by No. 4 on the table. Gift box packaging, but it is an affordable ordinary package. I don't like over-packaging with bells and whistles, whereas my ex did, and it seems like I didn't find the right person before. But fate did not abandon me, divorce gave me a new chance, to choose life again, number four is the man I should wait for, should love, and should be well maintained.
When I was lying in bed, the fourth came with a message: "I've arrived at the dormitory, I'm thinking, how to be better to you, can you give me a hint." β
I replied with a smile: "Don't prompt, think for yourself." β
"Then I'll search on the Internet, but I found that most of the nonsense on the Internet is used, in case the bad tricks found in the search are used, don't blame me."
I burst out laughing: "Ignore you if you use it wrong, go to bed early, good night." β
"There are also places on the Internet that are written correctly, women can really torture people. Okay, good night. β
I've been smiling and putting my phone on the bedside table next to me, No. 4 seems a bit rigid, but it's actually very funny, and it's really my blessing to meet such a good man.
My progress with No. 4 is still very smooth, and we have two more meals, No. 4 has often held my hand, we should be a couple in love. He is always calm, but he also laughs when he encounters happy things, and he cares about Lele very much.
No. 4 proposed, so we took Lele to the playground with Shuangxiu, Lele was of course happy, and he had never been there. The double-layer merry-go-round alone should make her remember it for a lifetime, and she used to play single-layered.
Lele also specially chose the pink horse on the top layer, and No. 4 hugged her.
I sat on the wooden horse, saw Lele's appearance, turned my head to look at the handsome No. 4, that kind of happiness was about to burst.
No. 4 is a handsome guy-level warm man, and every time he makes Lele and me very happy, and enjoys the joy of family that was rare before. In comparison, going out to the movies and eating when you are not divorced from your ex is simply formulaic. It seems that No. 4 is Lele's father, and his predecessor is a stepfather who cares about everything.
Of course, there are still some differences between the four and the others. On the pirate ship, Lele and I screamed in fright, and he sat there like no one was right.
We played with the Sky Bike, the Fantasy Forest Boat, and finally we sat on the Ferris wheel.
"Lele, are you happy?" I touched Lele's little head and asked, the warehouse we sat in rose higher and higher.
And Lele turned his head sideways to look at the outside with a wider and wider field of vision: "Well, happy, I'm happiest today." β
Lele still doesn't know what he says, as long as he is happy, he will use the most. Whether it's really the most or overdescribed, as long as you're happy.
I turned around and looked at No. 4 sitting next to me, at this time the cockpit had risen to the highest altitude, at least fifty meters in the air, and the afterglow of the setting sun in the distance shone on his face through the glass, looking so handsome, and the warm light added a warmth...... Taking advantage of this time, I reached over and kissed him lightly on the cheek. (To be continued.) )
