October 1st.

The weather was sunny.

As we enter October, the weather is still hot.

Sit on the couch.

Liu Changqing's right foot shook unconsciously, and after looking around, he returned to the cup of tea that had just been poured on the coffee table in front of him.

After being stunned for a while, he stretched out his hand and took the cup and drank it all.

With the rhythm of his throat up and down, Liu Changqing took a long breath, put the cup in his hand back on the coffee table, and pinched out the tea he had just drunk from the corner of his mouth by the way.

Hook your foot over the trash can placed next to you and flick the tea leaves into it with your fingers.

Then he took out his mobile phone with his other hand, looked at the time on it, and his expression became a little anxious.

Turning his head to look at the closed door of the bathroom, he shouted.

"Xia Zhi, are you doing in the toilet?"

"It's not close...... Hmm, give me a little bit of time!"

Hearing his daughter's straining voice, Liu Changqing felt a little helpless.

Today is the time for Liu Xiazhi to participate in the competition.

Early in the morning, Liu Changqing took An Yuanyao over, and when everything was ready and the family was ready to leave, something happened when something happened.

Liu Xiazhi suddenly covered her stomach, her face was very ugly, and then she rushed into the bathroom.

Then Liu Changqing chose to stay, and asked Liu Zhiyue to help carry things and take a taxi with An Yuanyao first, looking at the time on his phone, Liu Changqing realized that twenty minutes had passed.

According to normal times, my daughter should have ended the battle a long time ago, but it seems that the amount of weight accumulated today is not the same as in the past, so the time is also unexpectedly longer.

The clock hanging on the TV has the sound of the second hand ticking, and the time is not accurate because the clock is broken.

Liu Changqing's brows furrowed slightly, and he realized that if he continued to drag on, it might really be too late.

Thinking of something, Liu Changqing got up from the sofa and strode in the direction of the bathroom until he stood at the door.

Through the frosted glass on the door, Liu Changqing vaguely saw the figure of someone inside.

Raising his hand, he gently patted the door and said.

"Did you eat a bad stomach, why did it take so long?"

"Quick...... It's coming, it's a little close. ”

Liu Xiazhi's voice came from the bathroom, which made Liu Changqing, who was standing outside the door, hear a feeling that something was not right.

I always feel ...... My daughter doesn't look like she's going to the bathroom.

He raised his hand and slapped it twice, then reached out and grabbed the doorknob of the toilet and pressed it downward, but he did get feedback that the door was locked from the inside.

"Xia Zhi, what are you doing in there? Not on the toilet? ”

"I ...... I'm trying, dad don't talk to me!"

Liu Xiazhi's voice came into Liu Changqing's ears outside the door.

After all, it was his daughter, and Liu Changqing heard that something was wrong when he heard it.

After thinking for a moment, he let go of the hand holding the doorknob with a slightly serious face, turned his head and walked towards his room, pushed open the door of the room, came to the bedside table, opened the drawer and took out the spare keys of all the rooms in the house.

Then he quickly returned to the bathroom, inserted the key and twisted it twice, and with the sound of two clicks, the door lock was opened.

"Daddy, wait a minute!"

Before he could pull out the key, Liu Changqing pushed the door and walked in, but his daughter's voice did not stop his movements.

When he pushed open the door of the bathroom, Liu Changqing's expression instantly became stunned.

I saw that Liu Xiazhi was squatting in front of the toilet, facing the direction of the toilet, turning his head with a small face full of shock and looking at Liu Changqing who pushed the door in.

The daughter did not go to the toilet, but made a very strange move.

Letting go of his hand, Liu Changqing gently pushed the door of the bathroom to completely open it, walked forward with some puzzlement, and slowly came to Liu Xiazhi.

Squatted down and looked at her daughter's wide eyes.

Stretching out his hands, he first twisted his daughter's body in the direction of himself, and then held his daughter's face up.

With a little force, the daughter's beautiful little face was squeezed out of shape, and it looked a little funny.

Pretending to be stern, asked.

"What are you hiding in the toilet for?"

"I ...... I have a ......."

Responding to his father like this, when Liu Xiazhi said this, his eyes subconsciously looked to the side, and he didn't dare to look directly at Liu Changqing in front of him.

Obviously, this is a manifestation of lying.

The daughter is actually a very naïve child, in terms of personality, there is no scheming, and all the joys, sorrows and sorrows can be expressed on the face.

This also leads to her every time she lies, she will have a weak heart.

That's the case at the moment.

Liu Changqing didn't understand, he didn't know why his daughter would hide in the toilet, but combined with today's situation and the time she hid in the bathroom alone for more than 20 minutes......

There seems to be an answer.

"Don't you want to go to the competition?"

"I don't have ......"

"To be honest, I don't want to hear you lie."

Liu Changqing responded like this, the hand holding his daughter's little face was lifted up a little harder, his head was slightly lowered, and he touched his daughter's head with his own head.

Close your eyes and whisper.

"My Xia Zhi is not a child who likes to lie, tell my dad why he doesn't want to participate."

"Daddy......"

Liu Xiazhi opened her mouth and called softly.

His eyes looked at his father, who was close at hand, and ...... The imperceptible droppings of his eyes.

was stunned for a moment, and chose to reach out to help his father erase it.

Feeling his daughter's move, Liu Changqing let go of his hand, widened the distance between the two of them a little, raised his arm and rubbed his eyes with his fingers.

Oops, I didn't wipe my face clean.

"It's not that I don't want to go to ......"

Liu Xiazhi's head lowered slightly, looking at the floor tiles in front of him, his eyes were a little distracted.

"I'm just scared of ......"

"Afraid of what?"

"The first few times I participated, although I was in the top 10 every time, I ...... every time Mom doesn't seem to be happy......"

Liu Xiazhi's voice came into Liu Changqing's ears, which made his expression a little solemn, and his eyes looked at his daughter who was squatting next to the toilet and was depressed.

A pair of small hands seemed to have nowhere to put them, and Liu Xiazhi kept picking her fingers, as if this could divert her attention.

"I'm afraid that if you don't play well this time, Dad, you...... I'm going to be unhappy too......"

With his eyes drooping, Liu Xiazhi seemed to be shrunk into a ball, and his voice was so low that he could barely hear it.

"I'm afraid my dad won't like me anymore......"

“……”

If I wanted to ask just now, after my daughter finished saying these words, Liu Changqing couldn't say anything.

He didn't expect his daughter to choose to escape because of this.

Looking at the daughter squatting by the toilet in front of him in a daze, Liu Changqing looked at it blankly for a while, and then as if relieved, he stepped forward to help his squatting daughter up, and then held it in his arms.

Stood up.

With a smile, he looked at his daughter who was being picked up by himself.

I spoke my heart.

"Silly girl...... How could I not like you, as long as you play hard, no matter what kind of ranking you get this time, Dad likes you and it will not change a little. ”

Stretched out his index finger, made a hook, and gently hooked his daughter's little nose.

"Don't be afraid, Dad...... will always be there for you to watch you. ”
