brave and coward

After Hua Lin went back, he simply washed up and fell asleep on the bed. He didn't sleep very peacefully, dreaming intermittently, but he never woke up.After finally waking up, it was already broad daylight. He grabbed his phone and checked the time. It was almost eleven o'clock in the morning.

He heard voices in the living room outside, but he didn't pay attention, thinking it was his parents talking or watching TV, he got up slowly after lying on the bed for a while, took a shower, brushed his teeth, scratched his hair casually, and didn't have any pajamas. Change, just like this, I left the bedroom—then stood there stiffly, looking at my parents in the living room, mainly at Xue Younian who was sitting next to my parents, no, the most important thing was to see Xue Younian sitting next to her. baby...

Hua Lin felt cold from the top of his head to the soles of his feet in an instant.

Xue Younian noticed Hua Lin first, looked at him and said with a smile, "Linlin, wake up."

Only then did the others look over, and Hua Lin's father said disgustedly: "He's like this, he's thirty, he doesn't fall in love, I don't know what's going on with him. Except for those few regular friends who ask him to go out to play, usually During the holidays, stay at home with me and his mother."

Hua Lin: "..." Is it okay if I'm not clinging to you two, but I can get in between you two? ? ?

Xue Younian said with a smile: "Some people like to go out to play, and some people don't, it's normal."

"You just get used to him... Now that you have a child yourself, I don't think you can get used to it anymore. You should also understand how Lin Zao and I feel." Hua Shicheng said, remembering, beckoning Hua Lin went over, changed a kind face in the blink of an eye, pulled the child, and squeezed his voice very deliberately, making Hua Lin's hair stand on end, "Jan, this is your Uncle Lin—" After hesitating for a moment, he changed his words, "Brother Lin .”

Lin Zao answered from the side: "Hua Lin, this is Jan, your Uncle Xue's child." As he said that, he gave Xue Younian an angry look, "Suddenly saying that there is such a big child, we were all shocked. "

Xue Younian smiled and said, "Jan was born prematurely, and his body has stabilized in the past two years."

While speaking, Jan met Hua Linqiang with calm eyes, and politely called, "Uncle Lin."

Hua Lin let out a sigh of relief that reached his throat.

The kid didn't call him daddy to his face.

...However, this also seems to show that this child seems to be really not innocent, whether it is born not innocent or was coaxed and deceived by Xue Younian.

Hua Lin didn't speak for a while, his father gloated over there: "Look, I always say that I'm still young, and when other children see you, they only call you uncle, not brother. You're still young, hehe."

Selectively forget that the child called him grandpa just now.

Why!Children say nothing!Although seniority seems to be messy, don't worry about it so much with a child!

Hua Lin was very speechless.He couldn't even get angry, he was in an abnormally calm mood now, and he could even laugh: "You guys talk, I'm going out later, Wen Dong is not feeling well, I'll go see him."

Saying that he would not give them a chance to babble, he turned and went back to the bedroom, closed the door and locked it, and began to change his clothes to prepare to flee to his current temporary safe haven.

If I had known that he would not have returned last night, the conditions of the VIP wards in his hospital were really good. Anyway, Zhang Zuoren had a lot of money and spent all the money.

Pushed to this moment by Xue Younian, Hua Lin can be said to be a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.

He has already realized that this pervert Xue Younian can't listen to people anymore, and it's useless for him to persuade or stop him.It was impossible for him to kill Xue Younian.There are only those who can be thieves for a thousand days, but there are no people who can guard against thieves for a thousand days.Then, the only way left for him is to break the pot and smash it.Xue Younian likes to do whatever he wants, if it's a big deal, he'll stab his parents and let his parents know, that's it, if he cuts off the bowl-sized scar, he'll be a good man again 18 years later... Damn!I'm thinking of something gibberish!It's all Wendong's fault!After all, his middle school two years ago still infected me, and the incubation period is still so long.

Hua Lin passed by the living room, said goodbye casually, and was about to go to the entrance to put on shoes, but heard a voice from the abyss of hell: "Lin Lin, can you take Jan with you for two days | okay."

He silently looked at Dean Lin.

Dean Lin said with innocence all over his face, "I'll tell you later. Uncle Xue has something to do, and the kindergarten has not yet completed the formalities. He is worried about sending Jan to someone else. Your father and I God has something to do."

Hua Lin ignored Jan—ah bah, what Jan, do you dare to say his Chinese name—looked into his eyes expectantly, and said lightly, "I have something to do too."

Xue Younian said: "I'll just take Jan with me, don't cause trouble for Linlin."

Hua Shicheng hurriedly said: "It's not convenient for you to take a child with you." Then he winked at Hualin, "Oh, what's the matter with you, go to Wendong, you can watch it with a child Ah! Hua Lin! Jan is a very good kid, even if you go to work and put it in your office, he will just sit next to him and read a book, so he won't make trouble."

Hua Lin wanted to refuse at first, but suddenly his heart moved and he gave Xue Younian a suspicious look.

——This is simply giving him a chance to do a paternity test between him and the child.

What's Xue Younian's plan again?

Hua Lin thought for a while, and agreed: "Okay."

【private chat】

Hua Lin: ...and then I brought him here.

Wen Dong: I know

After communicating on the mobile phone, the two looked up at each other, and then both looked at the child sitting on the small sofa in the ward.

The child was really well-behaved. After entering the ward, he said hello to Wendong earnestly, and then he did not bother them. After getting permission, he sat on the sofa and took out the books and pencils in the small schoolbag and started reading.Yes, he even took reading notes.

Hua Lin took this opportunity to talk to Wen Dong on the mobile phone about the situation.

Wen Dong was also very speechless.What is this person surnamed Xue doing? I don't understand.

【private chat】

Wendong: How are you going to get his hair?Straight up?

Hua Lin: Am I sick? I’ll talk about it directly. If I scare the child, I have to be responsible

Hua Lin: Take him to cut his hair later, bribe the barber, and pull a hair while he is not paying attention

Wen Dong: What if he doesn't want to cut his hair?

Hua Lin: Then just talk about it

Wendong: ...

Wendong put away his mobile phone, coughed lightly, and asked, "I checked several times in the morning, and they all said I'm fine, can I be discharged from the hospital, Brother Lin?"

Hua Lin put his hands on his forehead, took his temperature, went outside to find a nurse to ask about the situation, and came back with a bag of medicine in his hand: "Okay, let's leave the hospital. But if you don't feel good Apply medicine, the wound is infected, come back—"

"You tell me to order!" Wen Dong interrupted him with a smile.

Hua Lin said angrily: "If you want to hear good things, don't go to the doctor, but go to the fortune teller under the overpass."

Wen Dong was not convinced: "I saw that you didn't ask the fortune-tellers under the overpass, so they wouldn't make a deal with you. If they said it, the Yintang was black and they needed to spend money to eliminate the disaster."

The angry tone of a victim.

...It is true that I was victimized when I was young and ignorant.It was only later that Wendong realized that rather than relying on a fortune teller to tell his fortune and then go to the casino to make a fortune, he might as well set up a stall under the overpass and make money by telling people nonsense.

But this matter is too embarrassing to say, Wen Dong does not intend to go into details.

Hua Lin didn't intend to ask, and just gave him a blank stare.

After the discharge procedures were completed, it was just around noon, Hua Lin said to find a place to eat, Wen Dong nodded, and asked the child what he wanted to eat, whether he liked fried chicken, hamburger, milk tea or not.

The child hesitated and said, "I can do it."

Wen Dong said: "You are the youngest, listen to you."

The child hesitated for a while, and asked tactfully, "Can I eat healthier food?"

Wen Dong: "..."

Is it so self-managing?

After eating a healthy lunch, Hua Lin couldn't wait to take the children to have their hair cut, but was stopped by Wen Dong.

Wen Dong whispered: "Don't be so obvious about your purpose... This child is precocious."

Hua Lin gave up on himself: "You do what you want."

Wen Dong said: "Okay."

Wen Dong squatted down and looked at the child, and asked kindly, "Did your father say when to go back?"

The child looked up at Hua Lin: "Father..."

Wen Dong was puzzled.

The child tugged at Hua Lin's hand: "Father."

Hualin said for the nth time: "Don't call me daddy, I'm not your daddy."

The child said aggrievedly: "But Uncle Xue said..."

Wen Dong saw the clue, got up and asked Hua Lin: "He called your father, called—that man Uncle Xue?"

Hua Lin nodded expressionlessly.

Even Wen Dong couldn't understand what Xue Younian was doing for a while. Could it be that this kid really belonged to Hua Lin?

He thought for a while, squatted back and asked the child, "Did your Uncle Xue say when you will be back?"

The child said, "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Ah?" Wen Dong hadn't spoken yet, Hua Lin was surprised.

Wen Dong looked up at him: "You don't know?"

"I thought it was just today." At that time, Hua Lin was too busy to listen to what Xue Younian had to say. He frowned and said, "My parents are not at home these two days."

The two of them were staring at each other, and the child showed an embarrassed expression, and said, "Did I cause you trouble? I, I... I'm sorry. I can go to the short-term nursery. I'm sorry."

Hualin: "..."

Although he didn't want to speculate on a five-year-old child with malicious intent, it was hard for him not to suspect that this obscene green tea appearance was just learned from Xue Younian. This child must have done it on purpose, it must be!

Hua Lin suspected that he would spend his whole life to heal the psychological shadow left by Xue Younian's series of high-end green tea operations.

After a few seconds, Hua Lin said in a firm tone: "I have to go to work tomorrow. If this is the case, I can only ask if there is a short-term nursery."

The child lowered his head, and gently tugged at the corner of his clothes with his small hands, feeling embarrassed, blaming himself, and seemingly disappointed.

The tea-appreciating gene engraved in Hua Lin's DNA began to ring the bell crazily.

He thought coldly: You can act as long as you want, I won't be fooled.

Then, Hua Lin heard Wen Dong say: "It's okay, I'm free, I'll take him."

"..."

Hualin and the boy looked at Wendong at the same time.

Before the paternity test came out, Wen Dong had to treat the child as Hua Lin's child.

Is such that.If this child is really Hua Lin's child, then he will definitely get it back to Hua Lin's side in the future.Then, I have to get the child's approval no matter what.

So he had to bite the bullet and get close to the child.

It's hard to be a stepfather.

Wen Dong smirked and said these nonsense in Hua Lin's ear, but Hua Lin slapped him away.

The child watched them fight, lowered his head and used the children's watch to call out Xue Younian's number. After hesitating for a long time, he didn't broadcast it. He just knelt down slowly and hugged his knees.

Hua Lin was arguing with Wen Dong when suddenly he caught a glimpse of the child squatting down from the corner of his eye, looked over and saw the child was crying and trembling, he was startled, and hurriedly asked what was wrong.

The child didn't say anything, just shook his head, crying while shaking his head.

Wen Dong coaxed for a long time, but the child ignored Wen Dong, but finally let go of his knees, hung his two small arms around Hua Lin's neck, leaned against his arms, and begged childishly, "Daddy!" Don't want me..."

Hualin: "..."

Find out if I am your father before doing this, kid!

The tea is so obvious that it is even suspected that this is a natural skill.

But it's useless to know, this is a five-year-old child who is still a fan of his background, so he can only endure it for the time being.

Fortunately, this child is not like some children who make endless quarrels. It can even be said that he did not quarrel. He took out a small handkerchief from his pocket and wiped away his tears, blushed and apologized to Hua Lin and even Wen Dong, saying that he had lost his composure.

This pitifully well-behaved little girl, but if another adult is here, it will hurt to death.

Hua Lin was vigilant, not to be like that, but he couldn't vent his anger on him, thinking about it, and winking at Wen Dong.

Wen Dong hurriedly said: "Your father has a cleanliness habit, uncle will bring you here."

As he spoke, he took Jan's hand.

Hua Lin quickly glared at Wendong, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Don't bark!"

"Oh, let me coax you first, and I won't lose two catties of meat." After coaxing the older one, Wendong lowered his head to coax the younger one, "It's still early, it's rare that your dad is free today, there is an aquarium nearby, go see the little penguins And big sharks, and a dolphin show. Find a restaurant for dinner in the evening, and then go back, okay?"

Jan nodded and said, "I will ask Uncle Xue to give you the ticket money when I go back."

Wen Dong smiled: "No, I don't need to buy a ticket."

Jan said seriously: "Fare evasion is not good."

Wen Dong said: "Yes, fare evasion is not good, but I got in with my employee card."

Jan asked: "Why do you have an employee card?" Wen Dong said: "Because I am a dolphin trainer. When the time comes, let's see if there are not many audiences today. If there are not many, I will say hello to my colleagues and take you up close. How about little dolphins and little penguins interacting with each other and shaking hands? They are smart and friendly, and they especially like obedient children. But you have to make sure that you will listen to the trainer and not hurt them, okay?"

Jan's eyes widened in surprise, and he hesitated.

Cute animals such as little penguins and dolphins are a huge temptation for human cubs that they cannot bear at this age!

In addition, Jan was in poor health since he was a child, and spent at least two-thirds of the year in the hospital. Xue Younian seldom took him to contact animals, and more often took him to cultural venues.

……

In the aquarium, Jan was "reserved" at first, but she was still a cub after all, and soon became obsessed with the cute world.

Wendong is very popular, so he told his colleagues about it. In addition, today is a working day, there are no tourists in the museum, and Jan is beautiful, well-behaved and polite, and everyone is happy to coax him to play.Soon the child let go of his precocious shell and was "rejoicing to leave".

Hua Lin sat in the auditorium not far away and watched Jan carefully feed the seals to eat small fish, when Wen Dong who came over suddenly took a mineral water bottle and froze his face.

He came to his senses and was about to take the water bottle, but Wen Dong took it back again, unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it back.

"...Forget about it, use this set to coax the little girl." Hua Lin rolled his eyes at him, took two sips from the water bottle.

Wen Dong sat down next to him and laughed: "You really don't have much contact with little girls. The little girls now don't need me to unscrew the bottle cap. They can unscrew my Tianling cap with one hand."

"That's not as much contact as you." Hua Lin said, "The scumbag deserves to be twisted, and you deserve it."

Wen Dong complained: "I am scum, who am I? I am all scum, okay?"

Hua Lin didn't bother to pay attention to him, and looked back at Jan.

Wen Dong followed his eyes and looked over, and after a while, said: "Actually, this child is quite good. You may not deal with children very much. Some children, my god, are called a bear." , I can't even handle it. This kid is the most polite and smartest I've ever seen, and that's what my friends said just now."

Hua Lin glanced at him: "Just say what you want to say."

Wen Dong sighed and looked at him: "Don't be prejudiced against him, it's quite obvious. I guess he felt it too. He's just a five-year-old kid, no matter how clever he is. And he didn't do anything , I just want a father. Let’s not care whether his real father is you or not...it’s all taught by adults, if you want to blame adults, I will definitely not persuade you, but children can’t."

Hua Lin looked at him questioningly: "Why are you talking for him?"

"It looks so pitiful." Wen Dong said, "And I didn't ask you to do anything else, that is to say, anyway, if you keep a straight face, you will take him for two days, and if you don't have a straight face, you will take him for two days, then you Why are you scaring him?"

"I didn't scare him, I just look like this." Hua Lin said with a stiff neck.

Wen Dong laughed out loud, put his arms around his shoulders, and it would not be embarrassing to be thrown away by him immediately, holding the water bottle still smiling, and said: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, just smile, smile."

Hua Lin gave him a supercilious look.

The author has something to say: Wen Dong: It’s not a loss to have so many big boys.

Hualin: You are sick and take medicine! (He even wants to quit the group to keep safe, after all (he thinks) the most normal Wen Dong in this group is crazy except himself)

The next chapter mainly talks about Xue Younian's life experience.
