Zhuang Qian of Rebirth in the End Times

When Ye Jingcheng woke up, the clock in the living room had just struck twelve. He sat silently in the dark, staring at the clay pot that Ye Xiwen gave him on the bedside table, motionless.

Soon he received a call from Zhuang Qian, and hung up quickly, then he continued to stare at the clay pot in a daze, as if he expected to see the flowers on the six words "Happy Birthday Dad" crookedly engraved on it.

When he came back to his senses again, the wall clock struck again, and the sound of "铛——" echoed in the quiet night.Ye Jingcheng had listened to this voice for ten years, but it was the first time that he found it very pleasant and full of reality.

Ye Jingcheng walked gently to Ye Xiwen's room, Ye Xiwen was fast asleep, her short soft hair was scattered on the pillow, half of her delicate face was buried under the quilt, her eyelashes fluttered slightly with her breathing.Ye Jingcheng felt that the sockets of his eyes were moist, so he covered them with his hands.

It seemed that subconsciously felt that there was someone next to him, Ye Xiwen frowned slightly, turned over, changed from lying on his back to lying on his side, and curled up into a ball under the quilt, it seemed that this posture made him feel at ease, so he was satisfied He stretched his delicate eyebrows and continued to sleep deeply.When he felt his son turn over, Ye Jingcheng held his breath, and he didn't relax until he saw the child sleeping soundly.

Ye Jingcheng moved lightly to the small cartoon bench in the corner of the room, curled up with long legs, and sat beside the bed in a daze.

He stretched out his hand hesitantly, froze for a moment in mid-air, but slowly landed on Ye Xiwen's quilt ball.When Ye Xiwen touched the position where his back should be, Ye Xiwen moved, and Ye Jingcheng froze there. After a while, he found that he didn't disturb his son, so he patted the quilt carefully.Then he hesitated for a while, and stroked the child's soft hair with his right hand. The child's body temperature was high, and his hands were warm, and Ye Jingcheng quickly withdrew his hand, which was hot.

Obviously 'yesterday' he was still able to inspect calmly, and covered Ye Xiwen with a quilt without hesitation.Now he is just like when he first became a father, looking at the sleeping child in a hurry, wanting to touch it, but unable to do so, for fear of disturbing the child's sleep.

In the end, Ye Jingcheng sat silently on the small bench, just watching Ye Xiwen sound asleep, tears slipped silently from his eyes, dripping quietly, without sound...

Sitting until the next morning, Ye Jingcheng stood up with a smile on his face. After feeling his stiff knees, he gently patted the quilt, and his controlled voice was not abnormal at all: "Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi? Get up gone."

Ye Xiwen's eyelashes trembled, as if they were about to open, Ye Jingcheng held his breath...

"Hmph!" Ye Xiwen opened his clear eyes, wearing hazy pajamas, but turned his head without hesitation, avoiding his father's hand.

Ye Jingcheng, who was impressed by his son's cute appearance, was dumbfounded, a little at a loss.

Ye Xiwen proudly raised her pointed chin, bypassed her father who was standing stupidly, and entered the bathroom.

Ye Jingcheng remembered that at this moment... he seemed to be... in a cold war with his son?

Damn, how could I forget this!Ye Jingcheng followed Ye Xiwen, who had finished washing, to the dining room rather depressed. Ye Xiwen was unmoved, and took out the Year of the Ox and bread from the refrigerator without squinting, and closed it with a "bang" when Ye Jingcheng was about to reach out. Refrigerator door: "Hmph!"

Ye Jingcheng became stiff again: "Xiao Xi?"

Ye Jingcheng had already recalled this cold war, but he was even more depressed, because in his previous life until the relationship eased, Ye Jingcheng didn't know why they had a cold war. In fact, after a month of the cold war, Ye Xiwen was angry at the dining table He opened his mouth and automatically ended the Cold War.Ye Jingcheng, who was at a loss, naturally didn't want to get entangled, so this time, is it necessary to freeze for a month?

Seeing his son with a sullen face, eating breakfast without saying a word, and walking to the room to change clothes expressionlessly, Ye Jingcheng felt that his emotional system, language system and facial expression system, which seemed to be dead in the last days, all came back to life, and There is a tendency to distort...

There is no doubt that Ye Xiwen is a precocious, proud, and arrogant young man.Thirteen and almost 14 years old is just between a boy and a teenager. His height has reached 1.7 meters, but his figure is still thin and delicate.Generally, children of this age already have a general outlook on the world and life in their minds, and have begun to have their own set of principles for dealing with others, which is immature but not jerky.And a child like Ye Xiwen who has a good tutor and is a child from a single-parent family is more mature and tactful.

Ye Jingcheng was sitting on the sofa, watching his son come out with a schoolbag on his back, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride that "my family has a child who is just growing up".Ye Xiwen looked more like his beautiful mother, with a delicate appearance, but the gentleness from his father softened those aggressive edges and corners, making the boy appear gentler.He was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, clean and straight, like a young white poplar growing, softening every corner of Ye Jingcheng's heart.

"Xiaoxi, goodbye." Ye Jingcheng stood at the porch, smiling softly at Ye Xiwen who was wearing shoes.Then he found that his son curled his mouth like a sneaky kitten, then let out a "hum" with a sullen face, and went out.

"Xiaoxi, be careful on the road." Ye Xiwen leaned against the door and watched his son walk into the elevator, the speed seemed to be faster than usual, and he couldn't help smiling even more gently.

This time, Dad will definitely protect you.

Ye Jingcheng walked back to the room resolutely, but why the cold war?

……

It was already late when Ye Jingcheng arrived at the firm, and it was already afternoon when he and his partner expressed that he was going to quit the firm and simply sorted out the regulations.He sat at his desk, slowly sipping a cup of Tieguanyin.

"Lawyer Ye, I heard you're leaving?" The office door was pushed open suddenly, and Ye Jingcheng frowned.The one who came in was Xiao Zhou, a freshman who had just entered the institute. She was good-looking, and her family conditions seemed to be quite good. Generally speaking, she was a girl who was raised by pampering and had a smooth journey.With red eyes, she looked at Ye Jingcheng in disbelief, as if he had made some unforgivable decision.

"Huh?" Ye Jingcheng gave her a single tone to express his inquiry. After all, he didn't sleep all night and was a little sleepy.

Xiao Zhou's eyes became even redder, and she bit the corner of her lip with difficulty: "May I know why?"

Ye Jingcheng frowned. The last time the firm recruited a new group of trainee lawyers, he brought four of them, including this Xiao Zhou. Although his performance is not outstanding, he is good at being a man, and he is always considerate in serving tea and water. Every time Xiaoxi comes, he will help to say hello... It seems that because of the apocalypse, Ye Jingcheng discovered this young girl's crush on him in an instant, and then realized that in the past, he thought that this person would be a man, and he completely misunderstood her hidden favor ...

Ye Jingcheng raised his eyebrows and smiled gently: "Sorry, it's a private matter."

Xiao Zhou froze sadly. She has always liked this gentle man. Although he has a child in junior high school, he is mature, handsome, gentle and has a stable career. You must know that in this famous law firm, Ye Jingcheng is considered to be one of the top lawyers, and those who are as famous as him are all old people, but he is so young... She always thought that Ye Jingcheng's non-rejection was an acceptance, so she couldn't help but mention Ye Jingcheng's words. When Jing Cheng had a hostess attitude, but now it seems that Ye Jingcheng may just be out of politeness...

Xiao Zhou was a little unwilling. She felt that she had paid and had the capital to be liked. She lowered her head slightly with tears in her eyes, but looked up at Ye Jingcheng. This angle would make women look pitiful: "Then... Lawyer Ye, can I contact you after you leave?"

"If you have any questions, you can ask Lawyer Chen, and he will answer you." Ye Jingcheng continued to smile politely.

Xiao Zhou took a step back injured, turned around and rushed out, but unfortunately the prince charming she invented didn't chase her.

Ye Jingcheng rubbed his temples, thinking that he asked Xiao Zhou to take care of Xiao Xi last week when he had something to do, and felt his temples hurt even more... After all, he didn't even know Xiao Zhou's name.

For dinner, Ye Jingcheng flattered Ye Xiwen with some of his favorite dishes. God knows why they were in a cold war, and found that the corners of his son's mouth curled up secretly, and he ate it silently. Three, right?"

Ye Xiwen looked up at him, his black and white eyes showed him that this was nonsense.Ye Jingcheng didn't mind either, his son was the most awkward, he picked up another chopsticks of green vegetables and put them in Ye Xiwen's bowl: "Xiaoxi's father temporarily quit his job, how about you taking a year off from school and taking you to play for a year?" , otherwise there will be no chance in the future.”

Ye Xiwen looked up in surprise, his serious expression couldn't hold back at all: "Quit my job?! Suspend school?!"

"Yes

, you see Xiaoxi is getting more and more busy, maybe she won't have time to spend with her father in the future, so we have to hurry up and get along with each other. "Ye Jingcheng misled his son with a blushing face and heartbeat, half a year later it will be the end of the world.

Ye Xiwen was a little happy at first, even though he is self-reliant enough and has good grades, but he is still a child after all, compared to going to school and going out for a trip, he of course prefers going out with his father.But then the bandage on his face became tighter, and his eyes were a little ferocious, with a tension that he didn't even notice: "Then who are you going to get along with in the future?!"

"Uh..." Ye Jingcheng was stunned for a moment, and soon realized his son's uneasiness, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed. He ignored his son's dodge, rubbed his son's soft hair, and said in an unprecedentedly serious tone: "As long as Xiaoxi doesn't dislike it Dad, of course Dad will always be with Xiao Xi, so why would anyone else be there?"

This time I will never let you face it alone again, Dad will protect you.

Maybe Ye Jingcheng's eyes were too serious, Ye Xiwen's face was a little red, he turned his head awkwardly, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising, and then he turned back suddenly, trying to raise his chin with a sullen face: "Who... who wants you?" accompany?!"

Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but hugged his son tightly in his arms. The child was warm, and he was taller than him when he was sitting. It was very thin in his arms, but it unexpectedly made him feel full.Ye Xiwen twisted uncomfortably, like a disturbed animal, waving its paws threateningly.

Ye Jingcheng ignored Ye Xiwen's effortless struggle, and put his chin on his son's shoulder: "It doesn't matter, even if Xiaoxi despises Dad, Dad will stay with Xiaoxi."

"Father..." Ye Xiwen's tone was disgusted, but his voice was full of joy.Ye Jingcheng felt that the child's earlobe against his neck was extremely hot, and it must have turned red.

So the cold war between the father and son is over, only Ye Jingcheng is troubled occasionally: What is the cold war for?
