Day1215:22

Bubu's mother is named Lu Jin, a quiet and quiet Chinese girl, she was 24 years old at the time.

She and He Zhiyuan met by chance on a small interstate plane, seat number AC was next to each other.He Zhiyuan didn't have the habit of actively chatting with strangers, so he nodded politely to her after boarding the plane, which was regarded as a greeting.

Not long after I was seated, an old lady with gray temples came across the aisle, with a hunched back, dragging a standard-sized suitcase.He Zhiyuan took the initiative to help her put the suitcase into the luggage rack, and when he retracted his arm, he accidentally brushed against a sharp object, and a two-centimeter long wound was cut on his left hand, bleeding profusely.

Seeing this, Lu Jin took out a wet tissue and a band-aid from her bag, and handed them to him with both hands.

"Clean it up, it's hot, don't get infected."

She said softly, in Chinese.

He Zhiyuan was slightly startled, took the tissue, nodded and smiled: "Thank you."

The conversation starts from this moment.

Unexpectedly, they found a lot of common topics - mountaineering, skiing, Celtic music in Western Europe, Warhol's pop art.During the nearly four-hour flight, Lu Jin and He Zhiyuan chatted the whole way, and neither of them felt sleepy.

Before parting, they exchanged contact information.Early the next morning, He Zhiyuan received a confession call from Lu Jin.

He was really a little surprised by this.

Lu Jin is obviously a classical oriental girl, introverted and quiet, with few traces of erosion by unrestrained American culture in her speech.According to the character of this type of girl, even if she really likes him, she is unlikely to confess her love the next day.But He Zhiyuan didn't think too much about it at the time. Since he founded SwordArc, he has been busy with his career and has no time for love.

Lu Jin became his girlfriend, and her every move was perfect.

She lives at home, loves to laugh, is good at cooking and piano, speaks softly and slowly, and always makes people around her feel relaxed.She is extremely sensible, she seldom acts like a baby, never asks for gifts from He Zhiyuan, and is very considerate of his work, sometimes she can't schedule a date a week, she doesn't complain.

Since dating, Lu Jin really insisted on only one thing - He Zhiyuan's health.

She advised him to match daily breakfast and dinner according to the ODPHP* nutrition table, supervised him to reduce the intake of alcohol and caffeine, and canceled the usual red wine before going to bed every night, and replaced it with freshly squeezed juice.Every weekend, she would run, hike, and play tennis with him until she was sweaty and refreshed.

He Zhiyuan himself advocated a healthy lifestyle, and thought that Lu Jin was like-minded, so he didn't feel suspicious.It was not until a long time later that he realized that Lu Jin's concern was only to ensure the quality of his semen.

In the tenth week of their relationship, they had sex for the first time.

Lu Jin is the active one.

She seduced He Zhiyuan with eager eyes, saying that she was full of expectations.But when she got on the bed, her body became cold and stiff, she couldn't even warm it up, and her muscles were tense, full of instinctive resistance, as if she was enduring some kind of painful punishment.

He Zhiyuan was helpless, so he had to settle down hastily.

After that, they tried three or four times one after another. Each time, Lu Jin invited him and He Zhiyuan cooperated, but they couldn't get pleasure every time, so much so that He Zhiyuan even felt guilty about ejaculating.

During the 14th week of their relationship, Lu Jin left a breakup letter and disappeared from He Zhiyuan's life.

She said sorry, she already had another love.

He Zhiyuan felt that he had failed to fulfill his boyfriend's responsibilities, and hoped to apologize to her in person, and give her more or less material compensation, but Lu Jin couldn't be reached by phone or email, and even the apartment he rented before was completely moved. Empty—his ex-girlfriend left a farewell letter and disappeared.

He Zhiyuan waited for several weeks, but Lu Jin never showed up again.He had no choice but to let it go and let it fade away.

Since there is another love, let's get together and break up.

"Is she in a hurry to break up with you because she is pregnant?"

Songran heard the key point and interrupted to ask.

He Zhiyuan nodded: "Yes. I counted back from Bubu's birthday. She should have left as soon as she found out she was pregnant."

"But now Bubu is yours to raise. She wants a child so much that she is willing to talk to you about a fake relationship. Why didn't she take Bobu away?"

There are more and more doubts in Songran's heart that cannot be solved.

He Zhiyuan lowered his eyes, and sighed very lightly: "Because of Ashley...Bubbu was raised by me because of Ashley."

When I saw Lu Jin again, it was a year and five months after they broke up.

In late autumn, the front yard of the villa is covered with dead leaves.Lu Jin pushed a baby carriage and guarded there for several hours. When he saw He Zhiyuan driving home, he slowly came up to meet him.She was much thinner than before, her face was haggard, her spirits were weak, her eyes were red and bloodshot, and her smooth black hair seemed rough, as if she hadn't taken care of it for a long time.

Facing He Zhiyuan, she shed tears.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Lu Jin apologized repeatedly, "Zhiyuan, I lied to you."

He Zhiyuan looked down at the stroller, there was a pink and tender little bean lying inside.The child was awake, holding a small feeding bottle in his arms, wearing a small cotton bib, blinking and blinking his big round eyes, staring at him innocently and curiously.

The child is so young, not yet a full year old, yet his eyebrows, eyes and bridge of nose already show some resemblance to He Zhiyuan.

"Who is he?"

He Zhiyuan had a premonition, and his eyes immediately became stern.

Lu Jin didn't dare to look directly at him, lowered her head, and gave the worst answer hoarsely: "His name is Ben, nicknamed Bubu, and he's your son."

That day, He Zhiyuan experienced the most absurd afternoon in his life.

Sitting on the sofa, Lu Jin hugged Bubu and confessed to him, begging him to take some time out of his busy schedule to take care of her child for a few days, because she really had no energy or money—her Irish girlfriend just gave birth A daughter was born, named Ashley.Three days after she was born, Ashley was diagnosed with severe tetralogy of Fallot, a congenital heart defect, and was on the verge of life and death several times.

Lu Jin said that they couldn't give up on Ashley.

The little baby girl was sick and lying in the crib, her skin was blue and painful because of difficulty breathing, but her blue eyes revealed a strong desire to survive.After all, they are their own flesh and blood. They are reluctant to let go of this young life. They accompany her 24 hours a day, pray for her, and try to find a way to make an appointment for the best heart surgeon for her, hoping that she can survive the difficulties.

Only then did He Zhiyuan realize that his ex-girlfriend was actually a lesbian.

Lu Jin and his girlfriend met on the university campus. They have been in love with each other for more than six years. They both like children, so they came up with a beautiful idea: to have a baby each, preferably a boy and a girl, and raise them together as partners to form a happy four people family.The original intention of this idea was harmless, but they had irreconcilable differences on the method of obtaining sperm: Lu Jin wanted to apply for a sperm bank, but his girlfriend insisted that children should be conceived naturally through sex for religious reasons.

In the end Lu Jin compromised.

While living a normal life, they search for "ideal sperm".Lu Jin got to know He Zhiyuan, and spent ten weeks getting close to him, making sure that his IQ, character, and body were good enough before making a move. However, her girlfriend took it lightly and directly found a handsome guy with blond hair and blue eyes in a bar for a one-night stand. .

It wasn't until Ashley was born that they realized that the handsome guy was a heavy addict. There were no taboos on alcohol and marijuana, and it was not suitable to have offspring at all.

But it was too late.

They made a mistake and can only devote everything to make up for it.Ashley must undergo surgery as soon as possible, although the risks are huge, and the postoperative recovery may not be smooth.After all, time and money are limited, and the youngest daughter needs meticulous care. The half-year-old Bubu is only a tiny bit old, petite and fragile, and cries at every turn.

They tried to do both, but found it impossible.

Forced to have no choice but to bring Bubu, Lu Jin begged He Zhiyuan to accept Bubu on the basis of blood relationship and take care of him for a period of time.

She said: "When Ashley recovers, or the illness is not serious, as long as we can take care of it, we will definitely take Boob back immediately. But during this time, we really...really have no choice!"

He Zhiyuan looked at Bubu and didn't speak for a long time.

After a while, he took out his mobile phone and called his assistant, asking him to buy baby supplies.Then, he took the soft baby from Lu Jin's arms in a strange and clumsy posture.

In this way, when He Zhiyuan was 27 years old, when his career was on the rise, Bubu was like a long-tailed shooting star with a pleasant milky fragrance, "booming" into his arms without warning and irresistible, sending He was disgraced and turned into an uncool, unfashionable single father.

During that time, the code reported errors like crazy, the project was delayed like crazy, and He Zhiyuan's life was almost full of bugs.

Bubu was still too young and had just left his mother's embrace, so he felt insecure inside, so he had to make a fuss every few hours, grabbing He Zhiyuan's collar and crying for milk, and the volume of howling reached 120 decibels .He Zhiyuan has never even raised a kitten or puppy, let alone deal with this son who fell from the sky. He took care of him for two days. Get some sleep.

That year was the most critical year for He Zhiyuan's career, he often had to fly around the world, even if he was not on business, he had to work from nine to nine, and he didn't have much time to spend with Bubu.

Boo Boo stayed at home, watched by a nanny, and quietly grew up chasing squirrels and hummingbirds passing by in the backyard.

He can jump, laugh, and call daddy.

Every time He Zhiyuan came home, Boubo stuck to him like a little follower, following him from the living room to the kitchen for a while, and from the bedroom to the toilet for a while.As soon as He Zhiyuan sat down, Bubu would grab his trouser legs, crawl and rub, call him daddy affectionately, spread his little arms, and coquettishly said, "Daddy hug!"

He Zhiyuan bent down to hug him up, and he would be kissed hard on the cheek.

He was surprised.

The nature of father and son is really a wonderful thing, the time he allocated to Boo Boo is actually not much, but Boo Boo still loves him, much more than he thought.

Every once in a while, ranging from a week to a month, He Zhiyuan would take Bubu to visit Ashley.

Ashley had grown up too, and she was stunningly beautiful—her hair was lightly blond in curly hair, her eyes were aquamarine, clear as water.The only fly in the ointment was her skin, which was as white as porcelain, with a little less rosy blood, and she looked unhealthy.

She had corrective surgery before the full moon, and her postoperative condition has been unstable, with ups and downs, and most of the time she can't run or jump.But she is more optimistic than everyone imagined, always smiling, showing deep dimples, and four cute canine fangs.

Ashley knew that Boo Boo was her elder brother since she was a child, and she also knew that He Zhiyuan was Boo Boo's father.

She has two mothers but no father.

So once, cautiously and shyly, she called out "Dad" after Bubu.He Zhiyuan smiled faintly, recognized this unrelated daughter, knelt down in front of her on one knee, kissed her forehead, and gave her a doll puppy and a bag of cotton candy.

Ashley accepted the gift, a rare blush appeared on her face.

"Mom, this is dad." She turned her head and said to Lu Jin happily, "Ashley has a dad!"

Lu Jin mouthed a silent thank you to He Zhiyuan.

He Zhiyuan waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to thank you.

Over the past few years, Lu Jin has always felt guilty for the deceit at the beginning, but He Zhiyuan himself doesn't mind anymore.His life has not been smooth all the way, and he has gone through ups and downs to this day, and the weight he can carry on his shoulders is far more than that of the weak Lu Jin.Boob's birth disrupted his rhythm of life, but did not bring any real turmoil.On the other hand, Lu Jin's family ran into financial difficulties in order to see a doctor for Ashley. In addition to visiting him often, he would also help Ashley pay part of the treatment fee on a regular basis.

Anyway, Ashley is not wrong.

Since the two pairs of small footprints have been stepped side by side since birth, they should grow up healthy together and have the qualifications to run in the sun.

In the living room of 8012A, Big Hairy Tuanzi jumped off the sofa, stretched her waist alluringly on the floor, and went to the balcony to play with Boubo with a flick of her tail.

Song Ran grabbed a pillow to fill the empty space, hugged and rubbed it twice: "What happened later? Ashley recovered from her illness, didn't Boo Boo's mother ask Boo Boo back?"

"She mentioned it once, but she also knew that there was no way Boo Boo would agree to leave me."

The curtain was blown by the wind and gently brushed past the ears.

He Zhiyuan looked up at the shadow of the tree, with a languid smile in his voice: "Whoever a child grows up with is always more likely to be biased towards whom, and this cannot be influenced by blood relationship. I think she is making up her mind to take Bubu When it was delivered, it should have been prepared to not be able to take it back... Huh? What's the matter, I heard you breathed a sigh of relief."

Just as He Zhiyuan finished asking, he suddenly realized something, and said with a smile, "Afraid she will rob you of the child?"

"Who's scared!" Song Ran felt guilty, and raised his hand to flatten the pillow in half, "I have full confidence in Boo Boo!"

"That couldn't be better."

He Zhiyuan closed the sliding door, returned to the living room, and sat down on the sofa in a relaxed manner, shaking his half-full wine glass in front of his eyes: "About Bubu's mother, it's actually good to be clear. You care so much about Bubu, I'm sure Occasionally, I wonder, if you don’t know what’s in your mind, can’t you help but make an imaginary enemy, full of grievances from rich and powerful families, robbing children and so on.”

Song Ran's face turned red and white, and she almost wanted to curse.

What the hell, guess so accurate!
