"Uncle …" As soon as he picked up, Tangtang's voice sounded sorrowful, "Are you free now?"
Yang Cheng was stunned, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"I'm at the commercial street next to the intersection of Central Third Road. Can you come pick me up?" Tangtang said.
Yang Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What are you doing now?" Running away from home again? "
"I don't want to either …" "Uncle, I'm so cold and I don't have any money on me. Please come and save me."
"You should remember to run away from home. Why don't you bring any money? And why did you call me? Call Yuan Ye! "Yang Cheng said gloomily.
Tangtang was embarrassed and said, "I …" I also quarreled with brother Yuan Ye … "
Yang Cheng felt a headache coming on. He thought that this girl had grown up a little, but it seemed like he had misjudged her!
Helpless, Yang Cheng went out and drove the car, speeding to the place Tangtang mentioned.
Under the bright lights of the night, the two sides of the commercial street were filled with resplendent lights, bustling with activity. On the side of the bustling street, Yang Chen saw TangTang excitedly waving her hand at him on a cold chair.
Although she was wearing a down jacket and a hat, it was still cold for a girl to sit outside for a long time on a night that was a few degrees below zero.
Looking at Tang Tang's red nose, Yang Chen couldn't help but reach out his hand to touch her forehead. "You're really addicted to running away from home. Didn't I teach you last time? Be content with what you have. Don't always find fault with your mother."
Tangtang pouted and said, "Uncle, don't lecture me first. I haven't even eaten lunch, and now my chest is sticking to my back. Take me to eat first."
Yang Cheng was speechless, "I don't think I'm your uncle, I'm your father."
"Hehe, that's fine too. As long as you give me food to eat, it's fine." Tangtang stuck out her tongue and said.
Yang Chen didn't know what to do with this eccentric girl, he looked around, and brought TangTang to the nearest northeastern dumpling restaurant. On such a cold night, eating piping hot dumplings wasn't a bad choice.
When the fragrant, white dumplings were served, Tangtang didn't care about the heat and started to take big bites.
Yang Cheng frowned and said, "Aren't you afraid of being burned?"
Tangtang muttered as she chewed, "Dumplings are only delicious when they're hot. Besides, I'm hungry."
Yang Chen didn't want to disturb this girl who had been starving for half a day, and waited for TangTang to finish the big bowl of dumplings. She burped in satisfaction, then asked, "Tell me, why did you run away from home this time?"
Tangtang blinked her eyes, and there was a hint of resentment on her face, "Uncle, you don't know, but for the past two days, my father has been coming to meet my mother for some reason. He even said that my mother is looking for a man and said some unpleasant words. My mother was very angry and quarreled with my father. In the end, both of them were in a bad mood … "
Yang Cheng knew that Tangtang's father was Fang Zhongping, but he didn't expect Fang Zhongping to have such a side to him. He didn't know what kind of man Tangtang's mother found to make Fang Zhongping so irrational all of a sudden.
"What does that have to do with you running away from home?" Yang Cheng asked.
Tangtang snorted, "Of course it has to do with me. I lived with my mother, but whenever my mother was in a bad mood, she would look at me as if I was an eyesore. I only joked with her a little, and she said that I was like my father, always talking nonsense and causing trouble for her … "
Yang Cheng frowned, "Can't you bear with it? Your mother is in a bad mood."
"I endured it, but I can't always endure it!" After that, I called Yuanye-ge. Yuanye-ge treats my mother even better than Auntie Yang, even closer than his own mother. I asked him to save me, but he actually became my mother's accomplice, and even helped my mother say that I was wrong … "Tangtang said angrily.
Yang Cheng smiled. This Yuan Ye was really funny. He actually knew how to curry favor with his mother-in-law so quickly.
"So you ran away from home?" Yang Chen asked with a smile.
"En …" I don't want to see my mother, and I don't care about Yuanye-ge anymore. They only know how to bully me. "Tangtang said. Her eyes were still a little moist, and her pitiful look made one's heart ache.
Yang Cheng didn't know how to persuade her. After paying the bill, he took Tangtang for a walk on the street.
When they walked to the small park at the end of the commercial street, Tangtang suddenly stopped and said, "Uncle, let's go in and sit down, okay?"
"Are you tired?" Yang Cheng asked.
"No, I just want to sit here for a while."
Yang Cheng saw that it was past eight in the evening, and it was still early to get home. He followed the girl's wishes and found a wooden chair in the park to sit down.
Tangtang leaned towards Yang Cheng. After all, it was already winter, and the temperature at night was still very low.
Yang Cheng looked at her pitiful look and felt rather sad. He took off his coat and wanted to put it on Tangtang.
Tangtang immediately refused, "Uncle, you'll catch a cold if you do this."
"I won't catch a cold." Yang Cheng said, and this was the truth.
"Why won't you catch a cold?" Tangtang didn't believe him. She pushed the coat back to Yang Cheng and said with a smile, "Uncle, just let me lean on you. It won't be cold if there's someone sitting with me."
Yang Cheng thought for a while, then opened the coat and put half on himself, and the other half on Tangtang. He let Tangtang lean on his shoulder for the night.
Tangtang was quite satisfied. She leaned on Yang Cheng's shoulder and yawned.
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly, "Girl, don't sleep. You'll really catch a cold if you sleep."
"I'm not sleeping, I'm looking at the stars." Tangtang pouted and said.
Yang Cheng looked up. The sky tonight was relatively clear. Although there weren't many stars in the Milky Way, they were sparsely scattered. In the city, this kind of scenery was very rare.
"It's such a waste for you to be with an old man like me at such a romantic time. You should find your Yuan Ye." Yang Cheng joked.
Tangtang wrinkled her nose, "That's not it. Lovers are lovers, and uncles are uncles."
Yang Cheng chuckled and didn't say anything.
"Uncle, I used to come to this park with my mother. Back then, my mother wasn't as busy as she is now. I haven't come here with my mother for a long time." Tangtang said gently.
Yang Cheng silently looked down at the girl. No wonder she suddenly said she wanted to sit here.
"How long do you plan to sit here? I think it's about time, I'll send you back." Yang Cheng said.
"No, uncle, can I go to your house to sleep tonight? I don't want to go back, I get upset when I see my mother. "Tangtang begged.
Yang Cheng frowned and sighed. He pointed to the stars in the sky and said, "Girl, do you know what I think of every time I look at the stars?"
"What?"
"I can only think of one word, 'miracle'." Yang Cheng said, "This universe is so big, there are so many stars, but among these many stars, we humans just happen to grow up on this planet called 'Earth'. Each of us is as insignificant as a speck of dust in the universe. However, it is us specks of dust that will meet each other in the vast universe, become husband and wife, become children, become teachers and students, become friends … Every relationship between people is a miraculous fate. Your mother gave birth to you, and you became your mother's daughter. This is something that cannot be changed, nor can it be replicated.
Think about it, this is such a small probability, but it happened. Isn't this a miracle? The unhappiness in your heart, what does it count for in the entire universe? Can it be more precious than the relationship between you and your mother? Put yourself down a little and look at the stars in the sky. Don't you feel that your behavior is very childish? "
Tangtang was silent for a long time. She looked a little ashamed, "I know I was wrong, uncle …" "Then I'll have to trouble uncle to send me back …"
Yang Cheng reached out his hand and patted the girl's head, saying, "Then quickly get up, your mother should be looking for you anxiously."
"En!"
Just as the two of them stood up from their seats and were about to leave the park, a slightly anxious and graceful figure walked over from the path in front of the park.
A woman with long, slightly curly hair, wearing a brown velvet coat and high boots made of sheepskin walked up to them. She was dressed fashionably and had a slender and voluptuous figure.
A familiar delicate and charming oval face came into Yang Cheng's sight. It was Tang Wan, whom he had met at the gala two days ago!
Tang Wan's face was full of anxiety. She was surprised to see Yang Cheng, and she was also stunned for a moment. While she was surprised, she looked around and saw Tangtang leaning against Yang Cheng like a little bird.
Tangtang was still wearing Yang Cheng's coat, and she was sticking close to Yang Cheng. Seeing Tang Wan suddenly appear, she was stunned for a moment, and then she said timidly, "Mom … Why are you here …"
Yang Cheng turned his head abruptly, wondering if he had misheard, but then he heard Tang Wan's angry shout!
"Why are you guys together!?" When Tang Wan saw Tangtang and Yang Cheng together, and she was wearing Yang Cheng's coat, she instantly thought of Yang Cheng's dissolute nature. When she thought that Yang Cheng had an affair with her own daughter, the vigilance and protection of a mother immediately rose to the peak!
Could it be that this man deliberately got close to her, and then did something to her daughter behind her back!?
Hearing this, Tangtang was a little incredulous, and asked doubtfully, "Mom, you guys know each other?"
Without waiting for Yang Cheng to say anything, Tang Wan asked again, "Why are you wearing his clothes!? You girl, let's not talk about running away from home, how can you just casually lean on a man like this!? Are you trying to anger me to death!? "
Tangtang was stunned for a moment, and didn't know what to say.
Yang Cheng knew that Tang Wan had misunderstood their relationship, "Tang Wan, it's not what you think."
"Then what!? Yang Cheng, my daughter is only in her third year of high school, how can you do it!? How can you do this! You … You really disappoint me … "
The incomparably agitated Tang Wan's eyes were filled with anger. She walked forward and fiercely grabbed Tangtang's arm, causing Yang Cheng's coat to fall to the ground.
"Go! Come home with me immediately! See if I don't lock you up for three months! "
Ignoring Tangtang's cries and explanations, Tang Wan, who was like a volcano erupting, immediately left the park with Tangtang.
Yang Cheng was stunned for a long time, then he picked up his clothes from the ground and sighed. He was really unlucky today. But he didn't expect that Tangtang's mother was actually Tang Wan. No wonder he met her in Li Jingjing's office, and coincidentally, Tangtang was Li Jingjing's student. He finally understood why Tang Wan was so similar to Tangtang when she talked about her daughter.
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly, this time he was wronged. No matter how dignified and steady she was, Tang Wan became a protective mother, as if she had changed into a different person.
Why else would it be said that in this world, besides men and women, there was a third type of person, and that was mothers?
However, Yang Cheng didn't plan to call to explain. Right now, Tang Wan was definitely angry, and when she calmed down, she would naturally be able to distinguish the truth from the lies.
It was boring to walk outside alone, so Yang Cheng put on his coat and hurried back to the parking lot. Tomorrow was Monday, so it was better to go home early and sleep.
