Lambs are plucked for wool every day

When Yuan Chengqi woke up, Lu Yan was already reading the newspaper in the living room, and greeted him lukewarmly when he came out.

Lu Yan was the same as usual, Yuan Chengqi thought that his sleeping position last night should be good, so he went to make breakfast in peace.

Ning Ning got up earlier than they expected, she got up when Yuan Chengqi's breakfast was ready.

After getting up, she dressed herself, put the used things into a small backpack, organized them, and folded the quilt.

"Morning uncle." Ning Ning came out with Mao Mao.

"Morning, Ningning." Yuan Chengqi was serving the freshly cooked porridge on the table, "Did you sleep well yesterday?"

"Very well, I fell asleep right away."

Ning Ning stood on tiptoe to help arrange the bowls on the table, when a hand stretched out from behind, took the bowls in her hand and arranged them one by one.

When Ning Ning turned her head, she saw Lu Yan standing silently behind her.

She smiled at Lu Yan, and Lu Yan reached out to touch her head.

Although they ate porridge today, Yuan Chengqi prepared many kinds of side dishes, so the table was rich.

Ning Ning ate happily with a spoon, and told them what she dreamed about last night while eating.

This morning Ning Ning is much more lively than yesterday. This is not only because he has become familiar with the two of them, but more importantly, he can go home today.After all, I am still young, no matter how fun other people's homes are, no matter how delicious the snacks are, I still like to stay with my parents.

Yuan Chengqi noticed that she had brought the small backpack to the living room, knowing that although she didn't say anything, she was looking forward to her father's arrival to pick her up, and now she was very excited.

Yuan Chengqi guessed right. After eating, Ningning had already packed his backpack, hugged the cat, and obediently sat on the sofa waiting for Zhou Yibai.

Seeing her like that, Yuan Chengqi felt both cute and distressed, and asked, "Ning Ning, did dad say when he will come? Shall we play games first?"

"I don't know." Ning Ning shook her head, "It's okay, Dad will definitely be here soon."

It's only 08:30 now, even if Zhou Yibai wanted to come, he wouldn't come so early.However, Ningning insisted on waiting, so Yuan Chengqi poured her a glass of milk without saying anything.

At nine o'clock, Ningning ran out of milk, and tried to wash it with the cup but couldn't touch the kitchen sink.Lu Yan passed by and saw it, and helped her wash it.After washing the cups, Ningning sat on the sofa and continued to wait.

At 09:30, Zhou Yibai has not come yet.

Ningning's expression became a little nervous, but she didn't say anything.Lu Yan silently went to her side, turned to a cartoon, and pretended to watch it with great interest.

Ning Ning was a little distracted by the cartoon, but she still looked at the clock and the direction of the gate from time to time.

Yuan Chengqi saw all this, secretly called Zhou Yibai and asked where he was.

"Cheng Qi, I might not be able to go back today." Zhou Yibai's voice sounded tired, "Her grandma fell because the ground was wet. I went back to check yesterday and found that the water pipe burst and the house was full of water. Today I had to get someone to fix it, and I had to rearrange the house."

Yuan Chengqi told him about Ningning, and he was also in a dilemma.In the end he told Zhou Yibai that he would speak to Ningning himself.

"Ningning, Dad's phone number."

Yuan Chengqi handed the phone to Ning Ning. When Ning Ning heard that it was her father, her face lit up immediately, and she held the phone in both hands and called her father several times.

What's wrong?Lu Yan behind Ning Ning mouthed Yuan Chengqi, Yuan Chengqi shook his head, saying that Zhou Yibai would not be able to come today.

Both Lu Yan and Yuan Chengqi were happy to take Ning Ning with them, but what they fear now is that Ning Ning will be unhappy.

Sure enough, Zhou Yibai on the other end of the phone didn't know what to say, and the smile on Ningning's face suddenly disappeared.

"Okay... Ning Ning knows... it's not Dad's fault, Ning Ning can wait..." Ning Ning's mouth was already puckered up, but she wanted to sound a little happier, so she could only smile reluctantly. "I'm very happy with my uncle... Well, it's okay... I'll see you tomorrow, Dad, you must come tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Ning Ning returned the phone to Yuan Chengqi, and whispered, "Thank you uncle."

Just now she was in high spirits, but when the phone call ended, Ning Ning became listless.

However, she didn't want others to see that she was listless, and soon she focused on watching the cartoons on TV again.

Lu Yan didn't know how to deal with the children's emotional problems at all, so he silently entered the kitchen with a water glass.

Yuan Chengqi followed behind him and closed the kitchen door smoothly.

"What should I do?" Lu Yan became nervous, "I'll buy her toys later? Can I buy a baby doll?"

"Don't be nervous." Yuan Chengqi was also a little nervous at first, but seeing that Lu Yan was also nervous, he found it amusing, "As long as Mom and Dad are not around, no matter how many dolls you buy her, it will be useless."

"What should I do?"

"Comfort her and divert her attention properly." Yuan Chengqi glanced at him again, "Of course, taking out the little doll is still useful, otherwise you take out your little pig doll?"

The little pig doll... Whenever Lu Yan thought about it, something went wrong all over his body.

That day when he saw Yuan Chengqi crying so much, he was at a loss what to do with the little pig doll to tease Yuan Chengqi.However, although the goal was achieved, he recalled his stupid appearance afterwards and wanted to jump off the building, and the piggy doll that witnessed his stupid appearance was immediately sealed in the depths of the closet by him.

Now that this dusty memory was brought up, Lu Yan's face blushed immediately, and he retorted: "You have to take it yourself."

"You take it, you know it best."

"You will."

"You can do everything."

"Yesterday you kicked me out of bed and I haven't settled with you yet."

"..."

"twice."

"..."

Yuan Chengqi looked away guiltily, and whispered, "I'll go and see Ningning."

In the end, Lu Yan won the kindergarten-style quarrel, and Lu Yan watched Yuan Chengqi leave with satisfaction.

Lu Yan drank some water in the kitchen and planned to go back to the living room.Although he is not good at comforting others, he doesn't think that all this is his business, and he will do his best to stay with the children.

However, when he walked out of the kitchen, he still stopped.

In the living room, Ning Ning finally cried.

As soon as Lu Yan and Yuan Chengqi left, she couldn't help crying secretly.When Yuan Chengqi went out, he saw Ningning's small figure sitting on the sofa, lowering his head and wiping his tears with his hands, feeling aggrieved.

That scene almost overlapped with Yuan Xiaoyang when he was a child, and Yuan Chengqi felt very distressed when he saw it.

"Good baby." Yuan Chengqi came to Ningning's side, knelt down and looked at her, "Don't cry."

"Don't cry." Ning Ning wiped away her tears and tried her best not to cry, but just after wiping the tears flowed out again, "I'm just a little sad, a little bit."

"Papa must miss you very much too."

"Yeah! Dad misses Ningning so much! I miss him the same way I miss him!"

"Then let me miss him with you, okay? Let's wait for him to come back together."

"Okay, let's wait together."

Yuan Chengqi stretched out his arms to hug Ning Ning, and patted Ning Ning reassuringly.

This was what Lu Yan saw when he left the kitchen.

He saw Yuan Chengqi squatting in front of the sofa, holding the little child in his arms, whispering something softly on his face.

The sun just came in from the outside, and that kind of light shone on Yuan Chengqi, who was wearing a white T-shirt, as if there was a faint light on Yuan Chengqi's body.

At that moment, Lu Yan suddenly had a very strong feeling.

This is the person, and he wants to like this person for the rest of his life.

He likes Yuan Chengqi's appearance, just like last night, seeing Yuan Chengqi makes his heart beat faster.

But he prefers Yuan Chengqi's character, gentle but not weak, loves to laugh and play, but is always stronger than anyone else.

He has always had high demands on himself in his life, and he must do his best in everything.Whether it's grades, work, or even emotions, if you haven't met the best, you'd rather not have anything.

But when you meet a good one, you have to do it anyway.

Yuan Chengqi is his no matter what, his no matter everything.

When Lu Yan went to the living room, Ning Ning had stopped crying, and Yuan Chengqi was chatting with her about Zhou Yibai.

He sat quietly by the side, occasionally adding to the topic, and more often thinking about his next step.

"By the way, do you want Ning Ning to go home and play?" Yuan Chengqi suddenly remembered that Zhou Yibai had given him all the keys anyway, so it would be good to let the child play at his own home, "Shall we go to your house to play together? "

"Okay!" Ning Ning was naturally very happy when she heard that she could go home.

The three of them went upstairs to Ning Ning's house together, and Ning Ning dragged them to her play area as soon as she got home.

Next to the living room is Ningning's exclusive game area, which is covered with cushions and boxes of toys.

"What does Ning Ning want to play?"

"I want to play...pretending to be a housekeeper!"
