Chapter 24: Father

The man was wearing yellow takeaway overalls, two bundles of long ears on his head, and his feet were stepping on a battery car.

Compared with the next five years, he is indeed a lot younger now, but he has also worked a lot.

Susandy stopped there for some time, and by the time she had come to her senses, she had already walked up to him.

"Hello uncle."

"Oh yes."

Su Liping didn't expect to see Su Sandi here, since he learned about Su Wangjun, as long as he delivers near the school these days, he will always find time to escort the child home.

Now that he met Susanti, he was obviously slightly stunned.

Speaking of which, he has a slight face blindness, but in the face of this face that resembles his daughter, he will never forget it.

Su Liping smiled happily, and his tone was much more kind, "You are Wangjun's classmate, thanks to you yesterday." ā€

He usually works from afternoon to evening, and he feels guilty for not being there in time for the previous few days.

In addition to the guilt, he also heard from Lan Yelan that there were several well-wishers who helped Wangjun, and now that they were combined, he quickly recognized Su Sandi.

"Yes, I'm a friend of Wangjun, and my name is Susandi."

After introducing herself, Susandi didn't know how to speak.

After all, she and Su Liping don't spend much time together in the same frame, at most it is a relationship between what the school needs to hold and what he must go.

But now seeing Su Liping appear here, she suddenly felt that maybe in Su Liping's heart, he was actually guarding his children well, and he also wanted to accompany them more.

With this clear understanding, Su Sandi's nose was a little sour, and he slowly realized who Su Wangjun's bad words came from.

I saw the man in front of me get out of the electric car, slowly walk to the back of the incubator, take out a takeaway with a pizza logo from the back, and hand it to Susandi.

"If you don't dislike it, you can take it and eat it, although it's been a long time..."

Su Liping scratched his head embarrassedly, he was a simple person, he would take out anything and didn't think much about it.

So when she looked at Su Sandi, she didn't forget to greet Li Qingyu, who was not far behind her.

So when Su Sandi looked back, he saw Li Qingyu looking up at the sky... of the jawline.

ā€œ......ā€

In fact, as early as when Su Liping looked in his direction, he had a bad premonition, but he didn't expect to really catch it.

found that his whereabouts were exposed, Li Qingyu did not hide, and simply walked over under the greeting of Su Liping.

"Hello uncle."

"Okay."

Su Liping didn't have much chance to deal with Wangjun's classmates, but now that he did, he wanted to leave a good impression on Wangjun, and amiably picked up the takeaway in his hand again.

However, how can anyone entertain others with food that others don't want?

Thinking of this, Su Liping was a little at a loss, and even the hand holding the bag was trembling slightly, secretly annoyed that he had messed up everything.

He smiled lonely at first, and then said uneasily, "I—I'd better take it and throw it away." ā€

"No, I like pizza." Su Sandi took the first step to hold the takeaway bag, endured the sour nose, and deliberately explained to himself, "I just didn't react just now, thank you, uncle." ā€

Seeing that the other party did not dislike it at all, Su Liping breathed a long sigh of relief.

It seems that all today's grievances have disappeared at this moment, and the ultimatum has been reduced to three words, "No thanks." ā€

The burden of life has long been shown in front of the man in front of him, but for the sake of his children, he has to bear it.

From the bright future of his youth to the confusion of middle age, his youth seems to have been crushed into pieces of paper by trivial life.

Even sometimes he wonders if his life is meaningful.

Sensing Su Liping's cautious emotions, Su Sandi's heart was inexplicably stinged, especially after receiving the express from Su Liping, she soon found out the order time of the above list.

10-27

10:51

This thing, which was supposed to be delivered at noon today, is now here, and the meaning is self-evident.

Obviously, this is something that no one else wants.

There may be many reasons why not.

But whether it is his own or the customer's reasons, for Su Liping, these are a small part of his work, and he never talks about it at home.

Just as people always like to share good things, and bad things always like to hold back in their hearts, so is Su Liping.

If it weren't for her encounter this time, it would be hard for her to imagine how Su Liping had digested the difficulties at work in the previous years, and how many people would have been treated coldly by others.

"Thank you for taking care of Wangjun, you won't use it in the future... I mean..."

Su Liping didn't know what he was talking about, he always felt that today's words were particularly awkward.

"You are all children, so it's up to the adults to protect this matter, you go home early, don't let your family worry."

These children can take action, and his heart is not false, but in the end, they are all the treasures of other parents, and he doesn't want to trouble them because of Wangjun's affairs.

"Okay." Su Sandi understood Su Liping's worries, but in a blink of an eye, he saw that Li Qingyu didn't speak, so he pulled the hem of his clothes and signaled to him.

At this time, Li Qingyu did not contradict Su Sandi anymore, and quickly agreed.

"Okay, then I'll go first." Su Liping still had important things to do, and after talking with them, he quickly threw himself into work.

"Uncle." Suddenly thinking of something, Susandi took a step forward and solemnly extended an invitation.

"If one day, the school has an event, I want you to go and participate."

If memory serves, in the near next semester, the school will be running an event on "Filling the World with Love".

At that time, Su Wangjun was waiting for Su Liping's arrival with great anticipation, and Su Liping didn't know what he was delayed, so he regretted it in vain.

If it was ever once, she hoped that Su Liping would go.

Su Liping didn't know what Su Sandi was thinking.

When Susanti's appeal reached his ears, he thought he had misheard, but when he saw the other party's eyes, he was very sure.

"Okay."

Su Liping didn't know what would happen in the future, but in the dark, there was a kind of magic that prompted him to agree, to promise a moment that would determine his life's memory.

The park at five or six o'clock in the afternoon is a place for children to play, and it is also a place for young couples to take a leisurely stroll.

It's clear that here, two misfits are mixed in at the same time.

The two of them sat at opposite ends of the bench, with a pizza in the middle, one looking at ease and the other at ease.

"Tell me, why are you here too?" Su Sandy's hat had been taken off, his hair was scattered, his hands were wrapped in front of him, and he didn't forget to look at Li Qingyu after speaking.

It stands to reason that she and Su Wangjun left early, and even if Li Qingyu, who walked a few steps late, would not necessarily appear behind them.

What's more, Li Qingyu also went to the office, how could he be so just.

As everyone knows, she completely forgot about the height difference, plus Su Wangjun's slow walking.

"I just happened to see it when I was crossing the street, so I came along to have a look."

There were no familiar people around, Li Qingyu quickly let go of himself, put his hand on the back of the bench, and leaned behind him, lazily like a lazy cat.

It was true that he did not come with them on purpose, but he happened to see them on the way home, and he followed them out of fear.

However, he didn't plan to say the latter words, so he planned to fool the past with the previous words.

"Oh."

Hearing Li Qingyu say this, Su Sandi also felt that it made sense, after all, his mind was good, and she didn't care so much, so she simply opened the outer packaging of the pizza, "Eat pizza?" ā€

Li Qingyu subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed again, pretending to accept it reluctantly, "Eat." ā€

"Okay, I'll give you a good one."

Su Sandi put on gloves, carefully selected and sifted, and finally ripped off the piece with the most meat and sent it to Li Qingyu.

Seeing this, Li Qingyu was not in a hurry, and under Su Sandi's gaze, he slowly put on his gloves, and then took them from Su Sandi.

"Tsk." Looking at Li Qingyu's exquisite appearance, Su Sandi couldn't help but whisper, "I thought your person had almost collapsed in the sitting posture just now." ā€

For Su Sandi's other words, Li Qingyu sneered, and even the corners of his mouth were just right.

"Human beings are complex creatures, and it's normal for them to change..."

Li Qingyu paused, meaning something, "For example, I see that you are usually very scathing, but sometimes you are not so ruthless." ā€

As he spoke, his tone softened unconsciously, and even he didn't notice that his own emotions were changing.

"What."

Of course, Su Sandi knew that Li Qingyu was talking about her conversation with Su Liping, and she was inexplicably a little weak-hearted.

"I just think that the almighty dad at home, one day, there will be times when work will not go well, but he never seems to have told his children about the bad things in life."

"Probably because I'm afraid." Li Qingyu said suddenly.

"Scared?"

"Yes, fear that children will worry, these are the characteristics of adults."

It can be said that Susandi considers herself a qualified adult, at least in her opinion.

has the standard of reaching age, understands the human feelings of adults, and learns to protect others, but she can feel that she seems to be missing something.

I am not an emotional person, but I always feel it at some point.

It's like meeting Lan Yelan and Su Liping, her feelings for her family will burst out almost instantly.

Looking at the pizza in his hand, Susandi wanted to continue his pursuit, but had to stop.

In addition to Su Sandi, who was fascinated by looking at the pizza, Li Qingyu was the same.

Through the shadow of others, he thought of his father again.

He had the impression that his father was a taciturn, unspoken man.

Since they moved here a year ago, they haven't seen each other often, except for a few chats on WeChat or in videos, nothing else special.

But now thinking of Su Liping, who is also not good at words, Li Qingyu feels that maybe at some point, his father also guarded him silently like this.
