Rebirth: What to do if you fall into a wolf's den

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window onto the dining table. Zheng Haoqian and Zheng Yuanhao walked into the house, and the aroma of food filled their noses. Auntie had already finished her work, and the dining table was filled with delicious dishes.

"Auntie, you have worked hard. Today's dishes look really delicious." Zheng Haoqian said to his aunt with a smile.

Auntie smiled and responded, "It's not hard. Come sit down and eat. Yuanhao must be very hungry today."

"Yuanhao, come here, Auntie has prepared a lot of delicious food." Zheng Haoqian called his son to the dining table.

Zheng Yuanhao excitedly ran to the dining table, his eyes swept over the dishes, and he couldn't help swallowing. He turned his head and said to Zheng Haoqian: "Dad, these dishes look so delicious!"

"Yes, Auntie's cooking skills have always been very good." Zheng Haoqian responded with a smile.

Zheng Yuanhao climbed onto the dining chair excitedly, looking at the dishes on the table with sparkling eyes. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand to grab a piece of braised spareribs, but Zheng Haoqian gently held his hand: "Yuanhao, wash your hands first."

After washing their hands, the father and son began to enjoy this delicious dinner.

After dinner, Zheng Haoqian played with Zheng Yuanhao for a while, teaching him how to build blocks and do puzzles. As time went by and the night deepened, Zheng Haoqian saw Zheng Yuanhao getting sleepy and knew it was time for him to go to bed.

He carried Zheng Yuanhao into the bathroom and helped him wash up. Then he gently put him on the bed and covered him with a quilt. Zheng Haoqian sat on the bed, stroked Zheng Yuanhao's hair, and whispered: "Yuanhao, did you have fun today? What interesting topics did you talk about with Aunt Ji Yan?"

Zheng Yuanhao opened his eyes sleepily, tried to recall for a while and said: "I told her about our family and my expectations for being a new mother. She listened very carefully and told me that she was also looking forward to the baby in her belly."

Zheng Haoqian was inexplicably moved. He gently kissed Zheng Yuanhao's forehead: "Okay, Yuanhao. Now close your eyes and go to sleep. Dad will accompany you to play with Aunt Ji Yan tomorrow."

Zheng Yuanhao smiled happily after hearing this: "Really?"

Zheng Haoqian smiled slightly: "Really."

Looking at Zheng Yuanhao's peaceful sleeping face, Zheng Haoqian's heart was filled with expectation and longing. He stood up, gently closed the door, and walked to the window. The night sky outside the window was dotted with stars, and he prayed silently in his heart: I hope tomorrow's meeting will be as he wished, and I hope Ji Yan is really the person he misses in his heart.

……

The next morning, the first ray of sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains and gently fell on Zheng Haoqian's face. He opened his sleepy eyes, and all the thoughts from last night came to his mind again. Was that person really Ji Yan?

The room was still filled with the faint fragrance of last night. Zheng Haoqian got out of bed, walked to the window, and gently opened the curtains. Outside the window, birds were singing and flowers were blooming. Everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful. But Zheng Haoqian's heart seemed to be weighed down by a huge rock.

"Dad..." A childish voice broke the silence in the room. Zheng Yuanhao opened his eyes dazedly and saw Zheng Haoqian standing beside the bed. He immediately smiled sweetly. He stretched out his hand, wanting to be picked up by his father.

Zheng Haoqian came back to his senses, leaned over and gently picked up Zheng Yuanhao, then walked to the bathroom. The father and son began to wash up, and Zheng Yuanhao's little face was full of curiosity and expectation: "Dad, when are we going to the park to play?"

Zheng Haoqian couldn't help but laugh when he heard this question. He gently scratched Zheng Yuanhao's nose and said, "Little greedy cat, have you forgotten? You and Aunt Ji Yan agreed to meet in the afternoon. It's useless to go now."

Zheng Yuanhao lowered his head in disappointment, but soon raised his head again and looked at Zheng Haoqian eagerly: "Then can we go earlier today?"

Zheng Haoqian shook his head: "No, baby. We have to go to class first, and then have lunch before we can go to the park. Besides, Dad also wants to figure out some things."

At breakfast time, the aunt prepared a sumptuous breakfast for the father and son. But Zheng Haoqian and Zheng Yuanhao were eating absent-mindedly, hoping that time would pass quickly.

After breakfast, Zheng Haoqian brought Zheng Yuanhao to the early childhood education center. In class, the teacher explained various knowledge, but Zheng Haoqian and Zheng Yuanhao were both absent-minded. Their thoughts drifted away from time to time, thinking about the appointment with Ji Yan in the afternoon.

After finally getting through the morning classes, Zheng Haoqian took Zheng Yuanhao back home. After lunch, Zheng Haoqian looked at the clock on the wall and couldn't help feeling a little nervous. He didn't know what kind of situation he would face, nor did he know how to deal with his relationship with Ji Yan.

"Dad, when are we leaving?" Zheng Yuanhao held Zheng Haoqian's hand, with anticipation gleaming in his eyes.

Zheng Haoqian took a deep breath, then smiled and said to Zheng Yuanhao: "Baby, let's go now."

The father and son walked out of the house hand in hand and headed towards the park. Their hearts were full of anticipation and curiosity, wanting to solve the mystery of this morning.

The sun shines in every corner of the park, adding a bit of warmth to this green world. Zheng Haoqian and Zheng Yuanhao hold hands and step into this park full of laughter and joy.

As soon as he entered the park, Zheng Yuanhao's eyes were busy. He looked around, looking for the familiar figure - Ji Yan. He remembered that he and Aunt Ji Yan had agreed to meet in the park yesterday to play games together.

"Dad, where is Aunt Ji Yan?" Zheng Yuanhao's voice was full of anticipation.

Zheng Haoqian also looked around, but did not see Ji Yan. He smiled and comforted her, "Yuanhao, don't worry, Aunt Ji Yan may still be on the way. Let's wait a while, she will definitely come."

After hearing what Zheng Haoqian said, Zheng Yuanhao was a little disappointed, but he still nodded. He looked up at Zheng Haoqian, with a glimmer of determination in his eyes: "Then Dad, play with me, and we will play while waiting for Aunt Ji Yan."

Zheng Haoqian agreed with a smile. They came to the children's play area of ​​the park, where there were various amusement facilities. Zheng Yuanhao excitedly ran up the slide, and when he slid down, his face was filled with an innocent smile. Zheng Haoqian was guarding him by the side to ensure his safety.

The two had a great time in the park. They played in the sand pit, swung on the swings, and chased and played together. Whenever Zheng Yuanhao laughed the happiest, he would unconsciously look towards the park entrance, hoping that Aunt Ji Yan would appear.

However, time passed by, and Aunt Ji Yan never showed up. Zheng Yuanhao gradually showed a disappointed expression on his face. Zheng Haoqian saw it and felt a little anxious. But he knew that as a father, he had to stay calm and give Zheng Yuanhao a strong backing.

"Yuanhao, don't be discouraged." Zheng Haoqian squatted down, looked into Zheng Yuanhao's eyes and said, "Aunt Ji Yan will definitely come. She may have encountered some things that delayed her time. Can we wait a little longer?"

After hearing what Zheng Haoqian said, Zheng Yuanhao was still a little disappointed, but he nodded. He took Zheng Haoqian's hand, and the two continued to play in the park. When they were tired, they sat on the bench to rest, eating the snacks they brought, while continuing to wait for Ji Yan to appear.
