It was late when I got back to Nancheng, and when I went to pick up Mia from the growth teacher, she was already asleep, so I took Mia to take a taxi home.

But as soon as I entered the house, the lights in the room were not on, and the lights in the room were not lit after pressing them for several times, wondering if it would be tripped or out of power?

I tried to reopen and close the switch, but it was still pitch black, but I was a little anxious when I thought that I would have to submit an academic report the next day.

In addition to knowing Yu Jing in Nancheng, other people are not very familiar, to put it bluntly, I am not very sociable, and I don't have too many friends, even in Shanghai, let alone Nancheng.

I had to pick up my mobile phone and dial Yu Jing's phone, he is a very kind person, he is very enthusiastic at school on weekdays, whoever has something in the office is broken, he will enthusiastically help others repair it, no matter how you look at it, there is no shelf of the head of the department.

As soon as I heard that there might be a problem with my electric switch, I almost agreed to help me fix it.

When he came twenty minutes later, it was raining outside, and I was a little embarrassed to see this, after all, I was a single woman with a child, and I had never let a man into the house.

I said embarrassedly: "I'm really embarrassed Director Yu, I didn't expect it to rain, and I bothered you to come all the way to help me repair the electric switch, see that your trouser legs are wet, it must be raining a lot outside." ”

"Professor He, don't say that, after all, you just came to Nancheng not long ago, and you have a child by yourself, you can think that I trust me so much, it means that you treat me as a friend, why do you see each other so much?"

He smiled, directly opened the electric switch, picked up the toolbox and repaired it, he asked while repairing: "By the way, Professor He, it's very hard to take care of the child by yourself, why haven't you seen the child's father for so long?" ”

I was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

He also paused, and suddenly said: "I'm sorry, didn't I ask what I shouldn't ask, I'm sorry I'm a little out of the ordinary, this is a private question, I shouldn't ask." ”

I hurriedly waved my hand: "No, no, it's just that there are some things I don't really want to say." ”

Yu Jing had just finished repairing, and in order to express my gratitude, I ordered a take-out dessert for him to eat, and as a thank you, he happily stayed.

There was a thud in Mia's room, followed by a cry.

I heard the disrespectful expression of the voice, and immediately ran over, so anxious that I accidentally knocked over the dessert on the coffee table, and made my clothes dirty.

I stood in the doorway, only to see Mia fall out of bed, stretching out her arms and crying.

I picked up Mia, patted her on the back and stroked her lightly: "Mia is not afraid, Mia is not afraid, there is a mother here." ”

Mia slowly opened her eyes, probably seeing Yu Jing, for her, unfamiliar people would make her anxious and afraid, so she simply hugged my neck tightly, "Mom, I'm afraid." ”

I hugged her tightly and rubbed my chin against her forehead.

After Mia fell asleep again, I put her on the bed, covered the quilt and walked out of the room.

After looking at the dessert on my body and expressing my embarrassment, I quickly entered my room and changed my clothes non-stop, after all, Yu Jing was still outside, and I was not good at staying too long.

When I came out, Yu Jing looked at the heavy rain outside the window and stood still.

"What's wrong, Director Yu?"

"Now that everyone is friends, just call me Yu Jing." He smiled at me and continued, "I also have a daughter, a little older than Mia, but I haven't seen her in two years. ”

I looked at him with some embarrassment: "Are you separated?" ”

He paused and looked embarrassed: "I divorced her mother two years ago, and they emigrated abroad. ”

I won't poke at other people's sore spots, so I silently didn't ask anything, but Yu Jing continued: "It's not easy to see you as a woman with a child, Mia is still so young, no matter how you say it, you should have a father by your side, and you should also have a man by your side to know the cold and the hot." ”

I was bowing my head and suddenly looked up at him in a daze, I thought that I was not yet able to discuss this kind of topic with Yu Jing, so I had to purse my lips and smile bitterly: "Thank you Director Yu for caring about me, I haven't considered this issue yet." ”

I could see that Yu Jing was also a little embarrassed, and just when I thought he was getting up to leave, he suddenly turned around and looked at me seriously.

He looked a little at a loss, kept rubbing his hands, and finally when I was curious, he suddenly spoke: "That, I saw you on the day I picked up, I liked you a lot, you are also single with children, and I am also single and the children were given to my ex-wife, can we, can we give each other a chance to try to get in touch?" ”

As he spoke, he had taken a long box out of his pocket, opened it in front of me, and I saw a glittering necklace.

"I bought it yesterday, and I couldn't think of how to give it to you, but now I finally say it."

……

I looked at him in a daze, I admit that I didn't feel much when I heard Yu Jing's words, after all, I didn't have any special thoughts about him as a person, and I didn't expect him to confess to me.

If I had known that he had another liking for me, I would have kept my distance, and before I could respond, I heard a doorbell ring at the door.

When I went to open the door and saw this uninvited guest in front of me, I really thought I was hallucinating.

I couldn't help but open my mouth in surprise, and even the mobile phone in my hand smashed on my toes with a bang, which made me feel uncomfortable.

I don't know if it's the discomfort of being smashed or the discomfort of seeing it to the south, but in short, these two emotions are mixed with the pain that makes my heart throb.

Shi Xiangnan's face was not very good, he ignored me, but walked in, his eyes stared at the necklace in Yu Jing's hand, then looked at the dessert on the coffee table, and then looked at the freshly changed home clothes on my body, his face seemed to be dyed with a terrifying color.

He turned around and took the necklace directly, looked at it twice, and then stuffed it into Yu Jing's pocket of clothes, and then handed him the clothes to the south: "Go slowly, don't send it." ”

Although Yu Jing looked a little angry, standing in front of Shi Xiangnan did not look as calm and handsome as him, he still asked with an unchanged face: "May I ask who this gentleman is?" I'm courting the woman I like, what qualifications do you have to let me go? ”

Shi Xiangnan, with his character, how could he be questioned like this, but he didn't show any anger, but a smile appeared on his lips, but I could see that it was ridicule.

No matter how much he laughed at Yu Jing, maybe he laughed at me again, in short, no matter what kind of ridicule it was, it made me feel uncomfortable after all.

Although this scene made me speechless, after a while, I finally couldn't help but say to Shi Xiangnan: "Please leave, this is my home, and the affairs here are my own private affairs, you don't need to point fingers here and ask anyone to leave." ”

I think Yu Jing probably guessed who Xiang Nan was at the time, and said more confidently: "You are Professor He's ex-husband, since you are your ex-husband, you don't seem to be qualified to ask me." ”

Shi Xiangnan's eyes were cold, and his eyes sank.

"Daddy......"

I couldn't stop looking at Mia in amazement when I heard this call, and she stood at the door of the bedroom and poked her head out to look at the three of us.

I was about to run over and hug her, but who knew that when I strode south, I picked her up with open arms, patted her on the back and reassured, "Mia is good, Dad is here." ”

I looked at the scene in front of me, some of the scenes were a little unbelievable, Shi Xiangnan was like a real father comforting his daughter, and Mia was also tightly hugging Shi Xiangnan's neck, resting her head on his shoulder, smiling, and sticking out her tongue at me.

Looking at it this way, the two of them are as close as a father and daughter.

Instead, I watched it all like an outsider.

Seeing this, I wanted to hug Mia over, but who would have thought that she would hold Xiangnan's neck when she was hugging, and this time she actually learned to retort loudly at me: "Don't, I want Dad to hug me." ”

Although I was helpless, and I was also angry at her behavior of casually looking for her uncle to hug, I was still a little relieved, after all, after so long, Mia was finally able to clearly express her true intentions in words after returning to China.

In fact, Mia's personality is not very good, she is very recognizable, and even when she was in Africa for so long with Qiao Chenfeng, she rarely made such intimate movements.

But when they went south, they didn't have much contact at all, at most it was only during the days when they were quarantined in Africa, why Mia liked him so much, I was a little annoyed, to be precise, I was a little jealous.

Shi Xiangnan hugged Mia and turned to look at Yu Jing, a coldness appeared on his face: "Mr. Yu, right, my daughter likes me so much, it is difficult for her to accept her stepfather, and Professor He will not ignore her daughter's feelings, so do you think I am qualified?" ”

When he finished speaking, Xiang Nan ignored anyone, hugged Mia and went straight into the bedroom, and didn't forget to say coldly before entering the house: "It's still the same sentence, don't send it slowly." ”

Leaving me and Yu Jing standing in place awkwardly, and Yu Jing was not bored, put away the necklace, put on his clothes, smiled bitterly twice, and left.

After closing the door, I remembered that when Xiangnan arrived, I wanted to slap him hard, annoying, it was just too annoying, so I entered the room with a puff of anger.

Just wanted to call him, I saw that Mia was changing clothes, it turned out that Mia was wetting the bed, only to see Shi Xiangnan dig out a new set of home clothes from the closet, help her change and don't forget to help him smooth his hair, and then squatted next to Mia and told her a storybook.

I stood here like an outsider with all sorts of superfluous feelings, and the little guy saw me and called out affectionately, "Mother, come quickly." ”

I glanced at Shi Xiangnan coldly, but he frowned deeply: "Don't let other men come in the future." ”
