Zhong Yue stood outside his son's door and listened attentively, but there was no crying inside. Yuhao's personality is extroverted, and he used to cry when he was unhappy, but even after crying, it was rarely endless, and this situation has never appeared today.

Strangely, he pushed open the door and saw his son lying on the edge of the bed, holding a picture frame in his arms. Zhong Yue chuckled in his heart, walked over quickly and squatted in front of his son. Yu Hao was lying on the side of the bed, holding a photo of Zhong Yue's ex-wife Lin Xi in his hand, his chubby face was full of tears.

Zhong Yue's heart suddenly hurt like a pinprick, and the silent tears of his five-year-old son made his heart twist like a knife more than crying, he took his son in his arms, hugged him tightly and said, "Good son, it's Dad who is not good, Dad has disappointed you." ”

Yu Hao stuck his head in Zhong Yue's arms and cried out loud.

Zhong Yue didn't coax him, but just hugged him tighter, at this time, it might be better for him to cry. Listening to his son's cry slowly lowered, Zhong Yue gently shook him and said, "Dad knows that you are sad in your heart. Dad also knows that you don't want to give love to the children in the orphanage, you are sad because you love that sailboat too much and cherish it too much, right? ”

"Well, because it was a birthday present from my mom." Yu Hao raised his big teary eyes and sobbed.

Zhong Yue's heart was even more uncomfortable. This sailboat was actually bought by Zhong Yue for Yu Hao before his third birthday. When Zhong Yue and his wife Lin Xi divorced, Yu Hao was just over two years old, Zhong Yue couldn't bear to tell him the truth, so he lied to him and said that his mother was on a business trip abroad and would go for a long time. Yuhao looks forward to it every day, looking forward to his mother coming back from abroad soon. When it was about to be his third birthday, he asked his mother every day if he would come back to celebrate his birthday, Zhong Yue couldn't bear to see him too disappointed, so he bought him this sailboat, and lied that it was a birthday gift that Lin Xi bought for Yuhao.

Now, the sailboat is gone, and Yuhao's mood can be imagined.

Zhong Yue patted Yu Hao's head lovingly, looked down at his son's eyes and said, "Son, think about it, although you have lost the gift from your mother, so many orphans have a new house, new clothes, and new toys because of your gift, what a great contribution you have!" You don't have your mother's gift, but you still have your father. Those children in the orphanage, without their mothers and fathers, they need the care and help of all of us, because of your gifts, they can live better, happier, become happy, happy, this is more meaningful than putting it in your room alone, don't you say, son? ”

A smile gradually appeared on Yu Hao's face, and he nodded vigorously.

"I knew that my Zhong Yue's son has always been a good boy with an open heart and the most loving. On the way back, my father and uncle were worried that Yuhao was in a mood because they were reluctant to go on that sailboat, so they really underestimated us Zhong Yuhao. ”

Yu Hao immediately jumped down from Zhong Yue's arms, looked up and said, "I won't be emotional, Teacher Xiao said that I am the most manly boy in our class, braver than Harry Potter." ”

"Really?"

Zhong Yue pretended to be surprised and reached out to wipe away the little tears that still remained on his face.

"Let's go, go downstairs to eat, and let Uncle and Aunt Chen take a look, our Yuhao is a man who can afford to put it down."

"Hmm."

Yu Hao nodded vigorously, turned around and strode out of the room with his arms thrown around.

Zhong Yue gasped heavily, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

After dinner, Lin Yinan and Zhong Yue accompanied Yu Hao to play checkers in the living room, Yu Hao and his uncle teamed up to deal with his father, making it difficult for Zhong Yue to move an inch, losing three games in a row, making Yu Hao and Lin Yinan happy as if they had won a big battle.

Zhong Yue looked at his watch, it was already half past eight, he pushed the chessboard, and pretended to be depressed and said: "Don't play, don't play, you two deliberately make ghosts, and you won't be martial." ”

"We are Sun and Liu united, jointly fighting against Cao, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu defeated Cao Cao, right, Yuhao?" Lin Yinan shook the newspaper and said triumphantly.

"Yes, I'm Zhou Yu, and my uncle is Zhuge Liang."

"Oops, it turned out to be Xiao Zhou Lang, it's a pity, it's a pity, Zhou Dudu is a hero of the world, but he died under Zhuge Kongming's conspiracy and ghost schemes, alas, it's a pity!" Zhong Yue pulled the Peking Opera and said in a long voice.

Yu Hao frowned and looked at Lin Yinan and said, "Hmph, Zhuge Kongming, why are you angry with Zhou Yu?" ”

Lin Yinan spread his hands and said: "It's not my fault, it's that Zhou Yu is too narrow-minded and too small-minded, and he is angry with himself, what's the matter with me?" ”

Yu Hao put his hands on his waist and said angrily: "I'm not narrow-minded, I'm a big hero." It was you who deliberately made Zhou Yu three qi, so he said: Both Shengyu and He Shengliang. You are cheating and not being fair. ”

"Hi ......"

Lin Yinan threw the newspaper away, and was about to refute it, but suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Yu Hao and said, "What are we arguing about?" The two of us are now cooperating with the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and we must unite with the outside world. This is your father's discord plan, we were fooled. ”

Yu Hao blinked his big eyes and was stunned for a while, but he also came back to his senses, he pounced on Zhong Yue, pushed him and shouted: Dad, you will make a plan, punish you for another game of chess. ”

Zhong Yue couldn't help but smile and pointed at the two of them, "Your alliance is too vulnerable, and if others use a little trick, you will start fighting in the nest." ”

Lin Yinan shook his head and looked at Yu Hao and said, "Admit defeat." It's not that our skills are inferior, it's that the enemy is too insidious and cunning. ”

Yu Hao pouted and said, "Then let's play another game of chess." ”

Zhong Yue shook his head and said, "It's too late, it's time for you to go to bed." Let's go, go upstairs to sleep, today, Dad will read you a story, okay? ”

"Really? Oh, great, listen to the story, good night uncle. ”

Yu Hao happily turned around and ran upstairs.

Lin Yinan stretched out his thumb at Zhong Yue in admiration, "Brother, you are really good, ginger is still old and spicy." ”

Zhong Yue smiled: "That's right, this is called one foot high, and the magic one foot high." Take your time. After saying that, he also turned and went upstairs.

Lin Yinan sat on the sofa and looked at Zhong Yue's back thoughtfully, his brows furrowed slightly.

Zhong Yue leaned on Yu Hao's bedside and read "Pinocchio" to him, this story has been told for a long time, but it is not finished. Zhong Yue is too busy, it is difficult to have time to sleep with his son at home and tell stories, sometimes he comes back to catch up with Yu Hao occasionally sleeps late, and before he can say a few words, Yu Hao falls asleep.

"'Where are you leaving these four gold coins now?' The fairy asked him.

'I'm lost!' Pinocchio replied that he was lying, because the money was in his pocket.

As soon as he lied, his nose, which was already long enough, grew two fingers.

'Where did you lose it?' ’

It's in the woods near here. ’

As soon as this second lie is told, the nose is longer.

'If you lose them in the woods nearby,' said the fairy, 'let's go and get them back.' Because if you leave something in the nearby woods, you can find it. ’

'Ah, now I remember clearly,' replied the puppet, panicking, 'I didn't lose the four gold coins, but I accidentally swallowed them when I drank your cup of potion just now.' ’

As soon as this third lie was told, his nose suddenly grew like this, and poor Pinocchio couldn't even turn his head. Turn your head this way, and your nose touches the bed, and it touches the windowpane; Turn your head that way, and your nose touches the wall, and touches the door; As soon as the head is raised, the nose is in danger of sticking into one of the fairy's eyes. ”

Zhong Yue read softly.

Yu Hao looked at his father's face with wide eyes and listened in fascination. Every time my father told a story, he tried to keep his eyes open, not wanting to fall asleep so quickly, but every time he didn't know when he fell asleep.

"Dad, the little puppet's nose will grow when he lies, will the nose grow when people lie?" Yu Hao asked innocently.

Zhong Yue looked down at his son's two eyes as clear as the sea, pinched his little nose and said, "Of course it will." If you lie to Daddy about something, your little nose will grow and grow, and it will not fit in this room, and it will stick out. ”

Yu Hao swooped out and covered his nose, for fear that it would suddenly grow outside the house.

Zhong Yue couldn't help but laugh when he looked at his son's cute appearance.

Despite his efforts to keep his eyes open, Woo Ho gradually fell asleep in Zhong Yue's gentle voice.

Looking at his son's baby-like sleeping face, Zhong Yue smiled bitterly and said to himself in his heart: If your nose will grow as soon as you lie, then your Zhong Yue's nose can't even fit this building. Since the birth of his son, Zhong Yue has begun to live in the lies he has weaved, and only he knows the pain best.

He slowly moved himself out of bed, turned off the bedside lamp, and walked softly out of his son's room.

Walking into the study, Zhong Yue sank his tired body into the wide sofa, stretched out his hand and lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and his mind was full of confusion and chaos.

There were so many things that happened in a day today, and he didn't have time to clear up his chaotic thoughts, but at this moment, Zhong Yue closed his eyes and lay quietly on the sofa, not thinking about anything, just wanting to rest quietly for a while.

The door of the study opened gently, Lin Yinan stood at the door, looked at Zhong Yue who was on the sofa with his eyes closed, hesitated, and gently walked in and sat on the sofa next to Zhong Yue.

Zhong Yue opened his eyes, saw Lin Yinan, smiled and asked, "You night owl, you can't sleep so early, right?" ”

Lin Yinan didn't answer, looked at Zhong Yue very seriously, and seemed to have made a lot of determination to ask, "Brother Zhong, what is going on with you and my sister?" ”
