Tao Xiang's arms rested casually on the back of the bench. In him, watching his daughter play freely within his line of sight should be a rare time to relax and relax...... Jing Yi looked intently at the moving father and daughter. One was having fun, the other was looking proudly, not noticing that there were still people watching them.

"Would you like to say hello?" Mei Jikang asked.

Jingyi shook her head and said, "I'm tired and want to go back to rest." Let's go and say goodbye to Mr. Du. He"

Mei Jikang looked at her face and already knew her mood.

She turned around first, and he was behind, and glanced back at where Tao Xiang's father and daughter were.

"Commander." Lu Sihai called Tao Xiang in a low voice, "It's not early, isn't it ......?"

Tao Xiang looked at Suixin, who was playing with the Du family's Maltese dogs on the grass, and said, "Wait a little longer." ”

Then he smiled very happily.

She was so happy all night that she couldn't stop smiling at him.

He used to think that his daughter didn't like to laugh very much, but now he realized that he didn't give her enough opportunities...... He lit a cigarette. As soon as I lit it, I saw the snow-white cloud rushing over, calling Daddy, Daddy. The puppy behind her followed her footsteps and bit her skirt...... He picked her up, sat her on his lap, and asked, "What?" ”

Then he took the cigarette out of the corner of his mouth and said, "Daddy is smoking again!" Xiao frowned, as if he was very unhappy.

"It's okay if you want your dad not to smoke, kiss your dad." Tao Xiang said.

Sui Xin kissed him on the cheek without hesitation, then tilted his head to look at him, and asked, "Kiss him again, are you not smoking tonight?" ”

"Okay, no more smoking tonight, listen to you." Tao Xiang smiled and picked her up, just carried it on his shoulder, and said, "Let's go home!" ”

Then he pointed to the puppy and said, "Uncle Du said he sent me!" ”

"Sihai, bring it!" Tao Xiang said.

"Yes, Commander." Lu Sihai hurriedly caught the puppy. So he wanted a puppy, and he handed it over.

"Now I have my own puppy too...... Daddy has the white lion and I have it. Uncle Du said that he wanted me to take good care of this puppy...... He will be a guest at home in the future to see if the puppy is fat. Sui Xin said.

"Uncle Dum again?" Tao Xiang looked at his daughter.

"He was not happy that I called Grandpa Du, saying that he was friends with you and Uncle Xiao, and he didn't want to call him old like that." Sui Xin said, stroking the puppy.

Tao Xiang smiled.

He walked through the meadow with a heart and walked onto the quiet path of the Du family garden.

Lu Sihai led people to follow without leaving, and saw that there were people from the Du family patrolling in front of them. In addition to their cars, there are also other cars waiting. This is not the main gate of the Du family, and the carriages and horses of the guests do not stop here. He was about to ask someone about it, when he heard a voice. It was none other than Du Wenda who spoke.

He shouted from a distance: "Muzhi, why do you have to leave here?" ”

Tao Xiang put down his heart and said, "It's not too early, it's time to take the girl back." ”

"It's time to go back. It's too late to go back, I'm afraid the old lady will be worried. But how can you not let me come out and deliver it? Du Wenda blamed Tao Xiang, and specially bent down to speak to Suixin.

So she hugged the puppy to show Du Wenda, and Tao Xiang thanked her.

"Is this worth talking about? I promised you a long time ago. Du Wenda looked at the lovely Sui Xin and smiled, "Mr. Cheng is also leaving, but he has been delayed for a while inside - my wives, I have heard her name for a long time, and it is rare to see her, so I have to talk to her for a while before letting her go." ”

Tao Xiang looked at Sui Xin and nodded.

"It's done." Du Wenda said, Tao Xiang heard a burst of women's laughter, and saw that it was Jingyi walking towards this side accompanied by Mrs. Du, and there were a few beside him, in addition to Du Wenda's aunt's wife, and Zhi's cautious wife Hui'an.

Tao Xiang saw Du Wenda smile meaningfully and was speechless.

Sui Xin saw Hui An, called out to her aunt, and ran over.

Jingyi didn't expect to meet Suixin before leaving, so she saw Hui'an bending over to kiss Suixin, and she paused in her steps. Hui'an took the heart of Sui, waiting for Suixin to call someone. Starting from Mrs. Du and ending with Jingyi.

"Miss Tao is much taller than the last time." Mrs. Du said with a smile.

Jingyi said goodbye to everyone, and finally said goodbye to Suixin.

Both mother and daughter are in white dresses, just as beautiful and generous. Seeing them say goodbye gently, everyone present was silent.

When Jingyi passed by Tao Xiang's side, she only looked at him and didn't make a sound.

It was Tao Xiang who nodded at her.

When Jingyi was accompanied by Mei Jikang to get in the car and leave, Du Wenda cleared his throat. Mrs. Du and the other ladies walked away first, and he whispered to Tao Xiang: "Mr. Cheng's talent is rare to get. ”

He was so reluctant to be there, and he felt that there was no need to say much, so he only sent Tao Xiang's father and daughter out.

Tao Xiang saw that Du Wenda's entourage had been waiting beside him for a long time, and knew that something must be looking for him, so he insisted on asking him to stay. Du Wenda had no choice but to go back first, saying that he would see you another day......

"Dad, are you going out now? When will you come back? Sui Xin suddenly took Tao Xiang's hand and asked.

Tao Xiang said: "Dad will also take a few days off to accompany the nannan. ”

"Is it because she is sick?" Then he asked again.

Tao Xiang looked down at her daughter and said, "Don't get sick easily in the future." ”

"Okay." Sui Xin said.

"Nan," Tao Xiang looked at the daughter holding the puppy, "Dad asks you a question, you have to think about it seriously, and then answer Dad." All right? ”

"Hmm." He nodded his head.

"Then you look at Daddy." Tao Xiang put his heart on the saddle.

Then he lifted up his eyes to him.

The big eyes are extremely dark in the night.

Tao Xiang looked into Suixin's eyes and asked, "Nannan, if you can't see your father for a long time, okay?" ”

Suixin's big eyes blinked, and suddenly, she got up from her seat, opened the door with the puppy in her arms, and got out of the car.

Tao Xiang was stunned. Lu Sihai was about to catch up, Tao Xiang waved his hand, he followed Suixin on the road, Suixin didn't say a word, and walked along the narrow curve. He knew that he would have to walk for a long time to get out of the Du family's garden...... The little white dress in the dim street lamp was ivory, and the bow in her hair was fluttering.

She's puffed up.

He didn't see his daughter's face, and he knew she was puffing up.

"Stop!" He finally said.

Then he stopped, turned around and glared at him.

As he approached, he saw big tears fall from his heart.

"Oh ......"

"Does Missu hate me?" Then tears fell on the puppy in his arms. The puppy's fluff was wet, and he looked up and licked his chin. "She hates me so much that she's going to be your new wife, so I can't be with you?"

"Nothing." Tao Xiao said, his brows furrowed.

"It must be like this! She's going to be my new mother, that's what they call a stepmother, a stepmother! I don't want her, she doesn't want me, she just wants you to ......" and cried in her heart, "Dad, you don't want me anymore!" I knew that you must have coaxed me if you were so good to me these days! I don't want you anymore...... I'm going with my grandma and aunt...... I want to go back to my hometown, and I want to live with my uncle and brother Qilin! Daddy, you're bad! ”

Tao Xiang touched Suixin's face and said in a low voice: "Tao Suixin, who do you want with your quick temper?" ”

Then I cried vigorously.

A car drove by, the lights were bright, and he hurriedly picked up Suixin.

Sui Xin still cried and refused to let him hug him. The puppy in his arms also hummed and chirped.

"Tao Suixin, what Dad means is that if you can't see Dad for a long time, you have to learn to deal with it. You're a big kid, you know? He wiped tears from his eyes.

Then I cried even more fiercely.

"Daddy won't marry Missus. And, Daddy......" Tao Xiang said, suddenly pausing.

Because Suixin suddenly stared at him with wide eyes, as if he was frightened.

He rubbed his hair and said, "You have to be obedient, Nan." ”

Then the little mouth that was tightly closed finally opened and said, "Dad, you have to live forever!" ”

Tao Xiang was stunned.

"I heard Uncle Du say, is there going to be a war? Mother Fu said that many people will die if they fight...... I don't want you to die! Then he hugged Tao Xiang in his heart, "If you want to live, you can marry Mi Sisu...... But I can't see you all the time......"

Tao Xiang listened to what he said, he wanted to laugh and feel sad. I had to hold her and walk slowly.

In fact, he is not used to coaxing children like this.

I don't know what to do with Suixin...... But maybe it's just like that, holding her, being with her, she'll feel safe.

He looked at his daughter by the light of the street lamp.

Then his heart leaned on his shoulder, and gradually settled down.

Tao Xiang only felt that his shoulders were getting heavier and heavier, and he didn't get into the car until he walked to the gate of Du's house.

Sui Xin was already tired of crying.

"Dad, it's already miserable for a child without a mother...... " he said in a daze.

Tao Xiang touched his daughter's head, and he glanced at the car parked at the gate.

He knew that if he and Suixin didn't leave, the car wouldn't leave.

"Commander?" After Lu Sihai drove, he glanced at the car.

Tao Xiang stroked Suixin's forehead and whispered, "Don't care. ”

"Dad, why doesn't my mom want me anymore?" Then he asked.

Tao Xiang kissed Suixin's forehead.

"Your mother didn't want you." He said.

"Lying. You lied to me and said that my mother had a stomachache that left me behind...... If I lose my foreign girl, I will find it back. If she doesn't look for me, she just doesn't want me......" then wrapped her arms around Tao Xiang's neck and cried again, "You don't want me anymore...... Dad, you don't want to die......"

Tao Xiang was sweating all over.

When he was tired of crying and tired, he said, "Your mother will come back to you, Nan." When you miss her, she thinks about you. ”

"Liar...... She wondered why I didn't come to me...... Come back to me, I don't want her anymore. He said, sniffling. Looking at Tao Xiang with tears in his eyes, "It's okay if I have a father." ”

Tao Xiang wiped his tears with a handkerchief.

It's the first time that his daughter has grown so big and cried like this...... He really couldn't bear to let her cry.

When she cried, she looked more like her.

Jingyi ordered the driver to stop the car. Mui Yanchun thought she wanted something, and said, "Dean Cheng, the ...... ahead" As soon as she said, she saw Cheng Jingyi looking at a car in front of her. The car drove for a while and stopped at the entrance of an alley. A spirited young man opened the car door first, and then a little girl in a red woolen coat got out of the car.

Anita Mui immediately understood why Cheng Jingyi deliberately turned around in such a big circle when she asked for a car.

Tao Sui held the piano score in his arms, and was held by his mother and walked into the alley.

Jing Yi watched the young man look around vigilantly before getting into the car. She said to Anita Mui: "Xiaomei, wait for me here." ”

"Do you want me to go up with you?" Mui Yanchun asked.

"This is where I used to learn piano." Jingyi took the gift from hand. Xiaomei couldn't see what it was, but it was obvious that Cheng Jingyi had been prepared.

"I'll be waiting for you in the car." Xiaomei said.

Jingyi got out of the car and walked to the alley, and the young man in the car looked at her and didn't make a sound. She walked steadily inside, and his eyes followed hers.

The narrow alley and gravel floor are a little slippery because of the light rain today. She walked cautiously. Teacher Anna's house was at the end of the alley, and when she got closer, she heard the sound of a ding-dong piano. It's a bit of a complicated piece, and it sounds pretty skillful, with only the occasional jump of one or two notes, which is a minor flaw. Jingyi stood down, and seemed to hear Anna's non-standard Chinese, mixed with a little Shanghainese accent...... "May I ask who Nong is looking for?" Pushing the door out, a white-haired old man with a green cloth shirt came out.

Jingyi called him: "Yonggenbo? ”

"Nong is...... Oh, Nong, it's Miss Cheng! Yonggenbo recognized Jing Yi, "Miss Cheng, I haven't come to see Teacher Anna for many years!" Oh...... Come in. Teacher Anna in class...... I'm not happy to entertain visitors in class. ”

Jingyi nodded.

She knew Anna's habits, of course, and said, "I'll wait for her outside." ”

Yongenbo invited her in.

The happy mother who was waiting in the foyer saw her and hurriedly greeted her.

Jingyi said a few words to her gently before going upstairs.

Although Anna's residence is a typical house in Shanghai, the interior is full of Russian 61 national atmosphere by her. Jingyi walked up the stairs while looking at everything that was once familiar - even the paintings hanging on the walls had not changed.

She stood down in the living room.

The door to the piano room was closed, and Anna could be heard talking inside. The sound of the piano and Anna's stern words came out incessantly. Jingyi herself is used to Anna's strictness, and she can't help but be a little nervous when she listens to her lesson at this time...... So I was talking to Anna. Anna, who was so stern, was not too afraid. Ask this, ask that, and you can hear that as long as she asks, Anna is very patient...... Quiet and beautiful.

Suixin's cleverness was really beyond her expectations.

She always felt that Suixin was a simple little girl. She babbled at her, and she would only blink and smile at her with big clear eyes...... She looked at the oil paintings hanging on the walls. The name is written in the lower right corner of the oil painting, which is a painting by Anna. She still remembers that when she was studying the piano here, Anna's painting was not finished...... One day, she accidentally knocked over an easel, and a painting was almost ruined......

"Is that scar still visible?"

Jingyi turned around. Fat and strong Anna stood at the door of the piano room.

"I can't see it." Jingyi replied.

"So you forgot about the teacher too, right?" Anna seemed to be snorting angrily, but still came over to hug her.

Jingyi leaned into her thick body and hugged her tightly.

"Come, introduce you to my students, Tao Suixin." Anna said to Jingyi, blinking. She beckoned, and then came out of the piano room, "Tao Suixin, this is also my student, Catherine. ”

"I know her. She was Aunt Catherine, my doctor. Sui Xin stood in front of Anna and looked up at Jingyi.

She was dressed in a well-fitting black dress, snow-white socks and patent leather shoes, and a pair of eyes smiling crookedly on her white face...... Jingyi smiled, these crooked eyes made her unable to help herself.

She whispered, "Hello, Suixin." ”

"Hello." Sui Xin looked at her, and Anna let Sui Xin sit with her.

Jingyi put down the gift she had given to Anna.

Anna opened the gift and said, "You remember me using this perfume. ”

"Always remember your taste." Jingyi said with a smile.

Anna's maid came in and served them refreshments. Jingyi and Anna whispered to each other. It can be seen that Anna cares about Jingyi very much, but in front of her heart, Anna only asks about her study and work in the United States. Then Anna looked at Suixin and said, "Little Suixin, go play us a tune that you are best at?" ”

"Just play the song that the teacher asked me to practice." Sui Xin jumped off the couch and sat down on the piano bench.

Anna smiled and turned her head, looked at Jingyi and said, "I like her very much." ”

A very simple sentence, Jing Yi almost cried when she heard it. Anna has never been one to show her feelings easily. She had never heard such warm and straightforward words when she was a student.

Then I played the song "Passion".

"It's a good play." Jingyi applauded her.

Sui Xin got down from the piano bench and curtsied to her and said thank you. It's an elegant little lady. Jingyi looked at her and only thought she was very charming; But after a second look, I think the way she climbed out of the window, landed on the grass and ran away, which was even more cute...... She smiled.

Anna told Suixin what she still needed to improve, then turned to Jingyi and said, "Come, Catherine, let me hear if you have played the piano all these years." ”

Sui Xin also looked at Jingyi and blinked.

Jingyi looked at her hand. I haven't touched the keys for a long time, and I don't dare to play the piano at Teacher Anna's place. However, who let Suixin be here and look at her...... She walked to the piano and went over. She sat down to play the piano and watched from the sidelines.

She actually played a little badly, so she held her cheeks with her heart, smiled, and propped her little hands on the piano. When she finished playing, she didn't have enough of it, so she pointed to the score in front of her and said, "You try this." ”

Jingyi's ability to see music has always been good, so she plays wherever her heart goes, her fingers move rapidly, and the smoothness of the song amazes herself...... Then he looked at her with a smile, and when she finished playing, he turned back to Anna and said, "Teacher, she must be the Catherine you said." ”

Jingyi looked at Anna, who was smiling at the two of them.

"The teacher said that she once had a student named Catherine who was very talented. I was not as talented as Catherine, and the teacher didn't want to take me as a student. But the teacher noticed that I looked like Catherine, so he took me in and asked me to practice hard. Because there is an old Chinese saying, it is called diligence can make up for clumsiness. Then he said clearly.

Jingyi couldn't help but look back.

Anna shrugged her shoulders.

"That's all for today's lesson. Then I went home and practiced hard. Anna said.

Jingyi should be grateful to Anna for saying these words in time, because if she didn't "push" them away, she might have to cry in front of them. The clever Suixin must think that she is a strange aunt...... She said goodbye with Suixin.

Anna sent them downstairs and said that she should come over at any time, she wanted to hear about her experiences abroad.

"Watch your step. It had just rained and the ground was slippery. Anna waited for them to come out, and said at the door.

Jingyi asked her to go back, and she and Suixin walked out of the alley together.

Holding the sheet music, he walked forward, looking back at her from time to time.

Mother Fu took Suixin's hand and said a little embarrassed: "Walk well." ”

As he spoke, his heart slipped and he fell to the ground.

Jingyi hurriedly stepped forward to help Fu's mother help Suixin up, seeing that her white socks were stained with black mud, she didn't care about getting dirty, and reached out to rub Suixin.

Mother Fu saw it and said, "Mr. Cheng, let's come." She said that she was going to come and hug her heart.

"It doesn't hurt. Fu, Mom, I'm fine. So he didn't refuse Jingyi, and after standing up, he naturally took Jingyi's hand. She looked at the black mud on her knees and frowned. "Oops. You can't go to see your dad like this......"

"Change your clothes as soon as you get back." Fu Ma said busily.

"Okay." Sui Xin said, looking at Jingyi, "My dad doesn't like the messy way people look. ”

"Yes." Jing Yi responded, looked down, and looked at the soft little hand holding his hand.

She walked quietly beside her......

"Grandma!" Then he shouted.

Jing Yi was stunned for a moment, and there was really an extra car at the entrance of the alley. Mrs. Tao stood in front of the car, looking at them.
