After five years, when Chen Xi slept on the bed that belonged to them once again, it was as if she could still smell her lingering scent, so she slept especially soundly.
Perhaps it was because he hadn't slept for hundreds of years, but he slept very soundly. When he woke up, the little girl was already lying on the bed, waving a roll of silk thread at the tip of his nose.
"Achoo!"
Chen Xi cooperated with her and sneezed loudly. The little girl immediately giggled.
Seeing his daughter's excited expression because of her successful prank, Chen Xi couldn't help but feel warm. He hugged her and kissed her little face.
"Ah! Papa is bad! "
The little guy who was sneak attacked seemed to be a little shy. He pushed Chen Xi away and quickly ran out of the room.
This kind of morning made Chen Xi very comfortable.
He liked this feeling.
It was as if he had walked from winter to midsummer in one night. At the moment of dawn, he finally returned home.
Chen Xi quickly put on his clothes and got up. Just as he walked out of the room, he saw Aunt Zhang coming out of the kitchen with a plate.
Chen Xi smiled and greeted her. Aunt Zhang laughed and said to him, "Niannian has squeezed the toothpaste for you. Hurry up, it's time for breakfast."
"Okay."
Chen Xi walked into the bathroom. There was a yellow cup on the sink. A new toothbrush with toothpaste was lying quietly on the cup.
This was the toothpaste that his daughter had squeezed out for him.
A warm feeling instantly rose from his heart. It was so sweet that it felt like honey.
Comfortable!
So damn comfortable!
As Chen Xi brushed his teeth, he fiercely sighed with emotion about life.
Their house wasn't big, only about 70 square meters. There were three rooms, one living room, and one bathroom. It was a small apartment with a second bedroom. The study was converted into a children's room, but Chen Nian usually slept with Aunt Zhang.
Because the house wasn't big, there was no dining room. Meals were usually eaten on the coffee table in the living room.
When Chen Xi came to the living room, the little girl was already holding the bowl and gulping down the porridge.
Whenever she ate the porridge, there would always be some water droplets at the corner of her mouth, so Aunt Zhang could only stay by her side and let her eat slowly while wiping the corners of her mouth with a tissue.
"Look at this child. She's already four years old, but she still doesn't eat properly. You have to keep an eye on her."
Auntie Zhang seemed to be blaming the little fellow, but the expression on her face betrayed her.
Looking at her nervous expression, she was probably afraid that the little guy would choke while eating.
The three of them finished their breakfast in a happy atmosphere. When Chen Xi helped Aunt Zhang clear the table, he brought up his current idea.
"Auntie Zhang, I want to go out later and see if I can find a suitable job …"
Hearing this, Aunt Zhang was suddenly overjoyed. She looked at Chen Xi and said happily, "It's good that you can think like that. Go, the child should go to kindergarten. In the future, the family's expenses will get bigger and bigger. As a father, you should experience the pressure Yingying had at that time."
Chen Xi touched the tip of his nose, seeming to be a little embarrassed by Aunt Zhang's words.
He didn't know how much money Yingying left for Aunt Zhang when she left, but Chen Xi guessed that it wouldn't be too much.
After all, the two of them had just bought this house before he disappeared.
Even if Yingying went to work after that, she probably wouldn't be able to save too much in just one or two years.
The cost of raising a child was already very high, so Chen Xi guessed that Aunt Zhang might have put in a lot of her own retirement money for the little guy in the past few years.
Forget it, forget it, I already owe Aunt Zhang too much. I'll find a chance to slowly pay her back in the future …
After helping Aunt Zhang tidy up the living room, Chen Xi rummaged through the shoe cabinet at the door, trying to find a pair of old shoes to wear.
At this time, the little guy suddenly burst into tears.
Seeing her crying heartbreakingly, Chen Xi was immediately frightened.
Chen Xi hurriedly ran over to the little guy and gently comforted her, "Niannian, what's wrong?"
"Papa, don't go, Papa, don't go …"
The little guy sat on Chen Xi's arm, crying and firmly grasping Chen Xi's neck with her hands. It looked as if she had been greatly wronged.
If a child's crying could be graded, then she must be at the S level now.
"Papa won't go, Papa won't go anywhere. Niannian, be good, don't cry …"
Chen Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that the little guy saw him looking for shoes and thought that he was going to leave.
Because of the commotion, Aunt Zhang hurriedly came out of the kitchen. She patted Chen Nian's head and persuaded, "Niannian, be good, Papa won't go. Papa has to find a job to earn money to support the family. If Papa doesn't go, you and Grandma won't have food to eat."
As she spoke, Aunt Zhang wanted to take Chen Nian from Chen Xi's arms.
But for some reason, the little guy didn't want to come down. Her two hands were firmly wrapped around Chen Xi's neck, and her little head was buried in Chen Xi's neck. She cried at the top of her voice, "Papa, don't go!"
"Papa won't go, Papa won't go …"
Seeing the little guy flip out, Chen Xi had no choice but to sit on the sofa with his daughter and comfort her in a low voice.
Aunt Zhang kept persuading the little guy, and Chen Xi kept emphasizing that he wouldn't leave. After a while, the little guy slowly calmed down.
Seeing that she was no longer crying, Aunt Zhang took out a hot towel from the bathroom and wiped her face. Then, she coaxed and pulled her from Chen Xi's arms.
"Niannian, be good, Papa won't go. Look, the parents of the other children have to go to work. How can your Papa not go to work? The adults go to work to earn money so that the children can eat, understand? "
"Yes."
The little guy seemed to have thought it through. She nodded, then grabbed Chen Xi's hand and said reluctantly, "Papa has to go to work. I'll wait for Papa at home …"
"Good girl."
Aunt Zhang patted the little guy's head, then signaled Chen Xi with her eyes.
Chen Xi stood up, pinched Niannian's little face, and said with a smile, "Then Papa will go to work. Niannian, what do you want? Papa will buy it for you. "
"I don't want it. I want Papa."
The little guy shook her head, seeming to be worried that Chen Xi would not come back.
"Then Papa will come back to accompany you as soon as possible after work, okay?"
"Okay …"
After a lot of effort, Chen Xi finally went out of the door in the little guy's reluctant eyes.
Chen Xi used to have a habit, that was, he didn't like to carry his documents with him.
Because he often accidentally lost his documents, and it was very troublesome to replace them, he usually left his ID card, bank card, driver's license and other documents at home unless it was necessary.
He didn't expect that this habit would save him a lot of trouble now.
Looking at the ID card in his hand, Chen Xi walked out of the building.
But after stepping out of the door, he couldn't help but feel troubled.
