Chapter Ninety-Seven: Dad Doesn't Come Home

"What did you just say? Sarah? Zhen Fan's eyes widened, he looked at Sarah in surprise, and then repeated, "God, I think I heard it wrong!" ”

"Yes, you heard it wrong, you should go, don't stand in front of me, you get angry when you look at it!"

Sarah's face flushed, and she simply turned to the side, not bothering to pay attention to him.

"I'll come back to see you later!" Zhen Fan said goodbye to Sarah, leaned down, lowered his head, and leaned towards Sarah's mouth.

"If you dare to kiss it, I'll ......!"

Sarah blushed and tried to say something harsh, but her voice was weak.

"Don't even think about it, I've got something next to your pillow!" Zhen Fan said, and sure enough, he took out a small triangular thing held by black cotton cloth from her pillow, and wore it with black silk thread.

"What is this?" Sarah digressed the topic in a panic, trying her best to hide her embarrassment, and was tricked by this guy again, he must have done it on purpose.

"It's a talisman for keeping peace, in our China, it's very popular, staying around can keep you safe, just like your cross or lucky charm!"

Zhen Fan said very seriously, and then untied the silk thread solemnly.

Sarah only felt a chill on her neck, and the silk thread wrapped around her slender neck, and the black triangle hung down and stuck to Sarah's chest, just falling where the deep groove began.

"Xiexie, Zhen!"

This time Sarah spoke beautifully. She knew Zhen Fan's ability, she knew it from that night by the lake, and she also knew that this talisman must also have that effect with what Zhen Fan said, and her sentence came from the heart.

"I know, Zaijian, Sarah!" Zhen Fan stood up, then looked at her with a smile, "Remember, you can't get wet, when you take a bath, try to keep it away from the water!" ”

Sarah nodded and watched Zhen Fan leave.

The man had been gone for a while, and Sarah came back to her senses, stretched out her hand and touched the black charm wrapped around her chest, a very cool feeling penetrated her brain, and the faint pain in her internal organs gradually calmed the pain. It was an amazing feeling, it felt very comfortable.

"What a good thing!"

Sarah smiled suddenly, and her whole body was filled with a kind of warmth.

Zhen Fan got out of the hospital and wanted to take a taxi, but after waiting for a long time, he still didn't stop one, and he couldn't get a taxi in Los Angeles for so long, which was really devastating.

"It's time to get a driver's license, this damn taxi." Zhen Fan couldn't help but scold.

"Hey, buddy, where are you going?"

Suddenly, I heard the sound of the car braking suddenly, and then a black man's head stuck out of the car window and shouted at Zhen Fan.

"Hey, Add, is that you?" When Zhen Fan saw this guy, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he responded happily and walked over.

"It's me, buddy, get in the car!" Eddie shook his head at Zhen Fan, "I'll send you back!" ”

"Of course. Of course! Zhen Fan got into the car and sat behind Eddie.

"Sit down, man, I'm probably going to be fast!" Eddie is still like that, talking and doing things in a hurry, before the words fell, with one foot on the accelerator, Zhen Fan leaned back, and the car flew out.

"Really...... Unique style! ”

Zhen Fan couldn't help muttering.

"yes, yes, Eddie style, like?"

"I heard you've been missing for a while." Zhen Fan had nothing to say, "It's because I offended Jim!" ”

"Jim? That's a joke! Eddie quickly shook his head, "No, it's not him, he?" I don't care, who cares? I'm just going to New York, it's a big city! ”

"Well, you don't care!" Zhen Fan didn't expose him, "Then you're going to go back to your old job?" ”

"Of course, man, I don't want to go out of my way to find a job, it's nice to drive a taxi, look, I'm still free."

Eddie couldn't see a trace of annoyance, which made Zhen Fan very envious, even in the face of Jim's pressure, he still faced life with a smile, maybe this is Xiaoqiang in Los Angeles, although he lives at the bottom, he is very optimistic.

In just twenty minutes, Zhen Fan arrived home, and Eddie's speed was still as fast as ever.

"No need to look for it!" Zhen Fan got out of the car, took out a hundred dollar bills from his wallet and handed it over.

"Xiexie, man!" Eddie was not polite, reached out and took it, and then flicked it with his fingers, "I love this guy to death!" He was referring to the Franklin portrait that had been wounded by the banknote.

"Zaijian, Add!"

Before he could finish speaking, the taxi had already left.

This guy is still like this, Zhen Fan shook his head and smiled, turned around and walked towards his house. As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he saw Claire standing on his steps, waving at him.

"Hey, Claire, do you want to come over and have fun?"

Zhen Fan waved at her.

"Haode, Uncle Zhen!" Claire was excited, holding a rag doll, and ran over with a smile, Zhen Fan opened the door, waiting to enter the door with Claire.

"Uncle Zhen, is Claire pretty?"

Claire waited for her round eyes, raised her head, and looked at Zhen Fan with a look of anticipation.

"Claire is beautiful!" Zhen Fan said as he picked up Claire and asked her to sit on the sofa, then squatted down and looked at her and smiled, "Weishenme Claire would say that?" ”

"Because...... Somebody wants to marry me! Claire lowered her voice, "Can't you tell Mommy, she'll be scared, it's a secret for both of us!" ”

Zhen Fan was dumbfounded, and then looked at Claire, God, how big is this?

"Will I be a beautiful bride?" Claire asked another question expectantly, "I've seen photos of my mother, I took photos with my father, I look beautiful in a wedding dress, and I want to be as beautiful as my mother!" ”

The ambition of a little girl.

Zhen Fan pinched Claire's face and smiled.

"Of course, Claire will be the prettiest bride in the future, even more beautiful than your mother!"

"Xiexie, Uncle Zhen!"

Claire giggled, then kissed Zhen Fan, slipped off the sofa, and went to turn on the TV, this little guy has long been familiar with himself, Zhen Fan is a free zone here, whatever she wants.

"Well, Claire, who said he wanted to marry you?"

Zhen Fan was ready to cook, and while preparing the dishes, he accosted Claire.

"What do you say? Uncle Zhen? ”

Claire was watching a cartoon and had forgotten what she had just said.

"Well, I said, what would you like to eat? I'll do it for you! ”

Zhen Fan was helpless, so he had to change his words casually.

"Potatoes mixed with beef!"

She remembered this, Zhen Fan nodded and agreed, and then began to peel potatoes.

"Claire!"

Anne shouted Claire's name next door.

"Claire, your mom is calling you! Didn't you tell your mom about coming over? ”

Zhen Fan said loudly in the kitchen.

Claire slipped down and shook her head, "I'm going to eat beef mixed with potatoes!"

"It's beef stewed potatoes!"

"So I'm not going back!"

"But...... You have to talk to your mom, don't you? Claire is such a lovely child! Don't let mom worry about you, okay? ”

Zhen Fan walked out of the kitchen, squatted beside Claire, and pulled her hair for her.

"Well, for God's sake, I'm going to talk to my mother!"

Claire said solemnly.

"Poof!"

Zhen Fan couldn't hold back, burst out laughing, and splashed a little saliva on Claire's face, making Claire frown, and then ran to the kitchen to clean it up.

"It's disgusting, Uncle Zhen!"

"Love clean Claire!" Zhen Fan gave her a thumbs up, which made Claire smile a little smugly.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Zhen Fan hurriedly went over to open the door, it was Anne at the door, she looked inside, and saw Claire cautiously leaning over and hiding behind Zhen Fan.

"Claire, you can talk to your mother!"

Zhen Fan held Claire's shoulder with one hand and smiled at her.

"Mom!" Claire looked like she had done something wrong, her head bowed, and she was aggrieved, so that she couldn't bear to punish this elf, "I promise, I'll go home after eating Uncle Zhen's potatoes and beef!" ”

Anne looked at Zhen Fan helplessly.

"She's always causing you trouble!"

Zhen Fan smiled.

"No, no, she's so nice, I love her coming over and being with me! I stewed beef and potatoes, would you like to come along? Zhen Fan invited her very politely.

"This ...... All right! ”

Anne was not polite, and agreed.

Zhen Fan was stunned, originally thought it was a kind word, but he didn't expect Anne to agree. A random joke comes to mind: a Chinese person who just arrived in the United States and chatted with an American friend, he said in passing, "Come and sit at my house if you have nothing to do!" Unexpectedly, the next day, the Americans went to his house to sit down. They took such polite words seriously.

It seems that he still hasn't followed the local customs.

Fortunately, the amount of potato beef stew was enough, and the three of them were quite full. Zhen Fan and Anne also drank a little high-altitude fruit wine. Anne's face was already flushed, and her face was flushed and seductive.

"It tastes great!" Anne felt a little embarrassed to eat a little, and naturally praised Zhen Fan's cooking skills, "It's a little supportive!" ”

"If you like it...... Zhen Fan is very satisfied with the state of Anne and Claire, making delicious food, which can be appreciated and eaten with an open belly, which is very satisfying, "You can come over at any time!" ”

β€œxiexie! You're always so nice! Anne smiled and kissed Claire.

"Tea or drinks?"

"Forget it, Zhen, I have to go back!" Anne smiled and picked up Claire, "Zaijian, Zhen!" ”

β€œzaijian!”

"Mom, isn't Dad coming home today?" Claire's voice came.

"Yes, Dad is always busy!"

Anne sighed helplessly, and then the voices of the two men grew farther and farther apart.
