I can't hold back my heart

Hearing her father's voice, Li Li regained consciousness instantly, and put her hands on Wei Xi's chest to separate from her.

"Sister Wei Xi, my father is here, what should I do?"

The little girl's voice was flustered. Wei Xi stared at her swollen lips and panted. Before she could speak, the little girl anxiously opened the closet and tried to stuff her in.

Wei Xi grabbed the little girl's hand and whispered, "It will stain the clothes, I'll hide in the bathroom."

"... Oh... good." The little girl nodded blankly.

"A Li, are you in?" Li Xuan waited for a while but his daughter did not open the door, suspecting that her daughter might not be there, but there was a light leaking from the crack of the door.

Hearing her father's voice, Li Li stretched out her hand and pushed Wei Xi again, "Sister Wei Xi, hide yourself, I'll open the door for Dad, if you don't open it for a long time, he will worry about me."

"Okay." Wei Xi responded lightly, before letting go of the little girl's waist, he leaned over and kissed her again.

Then he hid in the bathroom and closed the door.

Li Li bit her lip and stood there for another two seconds, holding her face with both hands, and found that the temperature of her face was very high.

She felt that her face must be red, and she didn't want to see her father like this.

"Ali?"

Li Xuan called again, but still didn't get a response. He worriedly dialed his daughter's phone.

The phone rang in the bathroom, and Wei Xi felt the sound coming from her trouser pocket accompanied by a slight vibration. She quickly took it out, wanting to return the phone she had forgotten to the little girl.

But as soon as she opened the bathroom door, she saw the little girl walk to the door of the room, quickly closed the bathroom door, and pressed the reject button.

"Father." Li Li opened the door, pretending to call lazily.

Li Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his daughter.

Seeing that her daughter was not active, she asked with concern: "A Li, were you sleeping just now?"

"Yeah, Dad, you woke me up." Li Li lied according to his father's words.

Li Xuan touched her daughter's head guiltily, raised a small cake with the other hand, and said with a smile, "Daddy brought you a cake."

Last time when Ah Li celebrated her birthday, he drove a long way to buy the cake that Ah Li didn't eat. The hotel waiter said that it was broken the next day and threw it away.

Today A Li told the old lady that she must be sad. Li Xuan came to see A Li worried. On the way here, he thought of the cake that A Li hadn’t eaten before, so he drove another two hours to buy it. Fortunately, it’s for sale. .

Li Li's eyes lit up when she saw the cake. The last time her father brought it to her was not because she was angry and refused to eat it, but when she made a wish, she kissed Wei Xi and panicked. She took out the cake in her schoolbag. The five-year college entrance examination was simulated for three years, and I started to do the questions. I forgot about the cake. When I remembered it the next day, the cake had already changed its taste.

"Father..." Li Li was suddenly moved.

Li Xuan carefully held the cake and walked to the small round table in the room, and put the 6-inch small cake on the table and unwrapped it.

While removing the pink ribbon tied into a bow on the outside, he said: "Your favorite flavor is sold out, so Dad bought this for you. It's bursting with pearls. The clerk said this is also very popular. Try it. Dad will come back next time." Help you buy..."

"Father." Li Li hugged Li Xuan from behind, unable to say anything except calling for her father.

Li Xuan's hand stopped, and after a while, he raised his hand and patted his daughter's arm backwards, and said with a smile: "A Li, come and open this transparent box, the clerk said that the pearls and cream on the top layer will follow the box The movement spreads evenly around."

"it is good."

Li Li let go of her father, approached the small round table, and raised her hand to open the round transparent box from bottom to top. The pearls on the top layer and the cream filled with chocolate flowed out, evenly covering the cake embryo on the side.

There is a sweet aroma in the air.

"The clerk said that this cream won't be too greasy. Dad thinks you will like it."

Li Xuan felt a little uneasy, and rubbed his hands together, not daring to look at his daughter's face. He didn't know if a cake could comfort his daughter's hurt heart.

"Your grandma..." Li Xuan still couldn't organize the words to defend the old lady.

In the end, he only said palely: "A Li, don't take it to heart, mom and dad... love you forever."

Wei Xi leaned against the bathroom door, she could hear the conversation between the little girl and Uncle Li outside.

It turned out that the little girl's sadness had something to do with her grandmother.

But she didn't hear more, all she can do now is to hide in the bathroom, wait for Uncle Li to leave, and then go to comfort her little girl.

"Cut the cake." Li Xuan picked up the off-white plastic knife and cut a large piece of cake for her daughter.

Li Li watched silently, her father looked very tired, and he was no better off than her. Recently, he had to work and take care of his pregnant mother, as well as take care of her emotions, so his father must be under a lot of pressure.

Li Li looked at the top of her father's black and fluffy hair in her memory. It was no longer what it used to be, and now it was sparse and mixed with white hair. She thought it was mostly because of her.

She was too willful before.

She took many things for granted in the past. Parents must focus on her and pay attention to her emotions at all times. If she is dissatisfied, she may run away from home.

Thinking about it now, she was really childish and terrifying back then.

When did it start to change?

Li Li thought it might be from the moment she met Wei Xi.

When Wei Xi was embarrassed by Xu Lingwei, she had sufficient balance in her bank card; when Wei Xi was busy making money, she was attending boring parties.

But she didn't wake up right away. Until now, when she recalled these things, she felt that her parents had built such a warm nest for her, and tried their best not to let her suffer any grievances.

When I was a child, my parents were busy with their careers, and my grandmother who lived in the country all year round took her for a while. My grandmother didn't like her, and she didn't like my grandmother either. When she called and cried, my father asked for leave from work to pick her up the next day.

Now that she has been wronged by her grandmother, her father will still try to comfort her.

"A Li, let's eat the cake." Li Xuan handed her a large piece of cake with a gentle and guilty smile on her face.

"Your grandma will take care of your mother until she gives birth, so she will stay at home longer this time."

"Okay." Li Li took the cake and responded lightly, inserted a piece of cake with a small fork, struggled for a while whether to give it to Dad, and finally put it in his mouth, it was really as sweet as Dad said but not greasy .

Li Li put the cake on the table.

Li Xuan rubbed his palms and asked nervously, "Don't you like it?"

Li Li didn't speak, but picked up the knife and fork and the round piece of paper for the cake, packed a piece of cake, and handed it to her father.

Li Xuan was stunned for a while, a little flattered, "To Dad?"

Li Li nodded.

Li Xuan took it over, his facial muscles trembling with excitement.

Maybe it was because he was too excited, and he wanted to urinate for a while. Before that, he had been on the road for several hours to buy cakes.

"Father, why don't you eat?" Li Li asked.

Li Xuan carefully placed the cake his daughter had cut for him on the table, and pushed it inside for fear of falling off.

"Dad wants to go to the bathroom first, and eat later."

The bathroom... Sister Wei Xi is still in it!

Li Li's heartstrings tightened, and she quickly grabbed her father.

The bathroom was only a few steps away from the table, and Wei Xi could hear it clearly in the bathroom.

She went to the toilet and flushed it.

"Is there someone inside?" Li Xuan was a little surprised when he heard the sound of flushing water.

Li Li hurriedly said: "It's sister Wei Xi, I'll call her and ask her to accompany me."

"Oh good." Li Xuan nodded, without thinking too much, but very pleased that her daughter has another good friend who can listen to her when she is sad.

Wei Xi opened the bathroom door and saw Li Xuan greeted politely: "Hello, Uncle."

Li Xuan nodded, smiled and said, "Thank you for coming to accompany us, Ah Li."

"You're welcome, uncle, it should be."

Li Li felt dizzy listening to the wheel-like conversation between her father and Wei Xi, and hurriedly pushed her father into the bathroom, "Dad, go to the bathroom quickly."

It was only then that Li Xuan remembered that he was anxious and couldn't hold it anymore, so he hurried in.

Li Li breathed a sigh of relief seeing her father go in without doubting her relationship with Wei Xi.

Turning his head and seeing the cake on the table, he immediately wanted to share it with Wei Xi.

"Sister Wei Xi, do you want cake? It's very sweet." She raised her head and said.

Wei Xi shook his head and didn't speak.

She was still thinking about the conversation between the little girl and Uncle Li before, why the little girl was sad because of her grandmother, but the little girl didn't talk to her, she was very distressed.

"Sister Wei Xi, why don't you take a bite?"

With a smile on her face, the little girl personally forked a piece of cake and brought it to her mouth.

Wei Xi paused for a few seconds before he stuttered in. Li Xuan opened the door to see this scene.

Slightly stunned for a moment, he walked out of the bathroom.

Wei Xi swallowed the cake without changing his expression, but his ears were a little red, Li Li was a little flustered when he saw his father coming out suddenly, so she forked another piece of cake and brought it to his father's mouth.

Of course Li Xuan would not open his mouth, and shook his head slightly.

"Ali, if you don't want to go home these few days, your parents won't force you. Dad will pick you up on the day of the report."

"Father, I can do it myself." Li Li raised his face, and immediately became serious when he heard the word "report".

Since she met Zhao Ruoxuan in junior high school, Zhao Ruoxuan has been self-reporting, and she also wants to try what it feels like to be self-reporting.

Li Xuan knows that his daughter has always wanted to be independent, but he is still not at ease. He often sees college freshman admission scams on the Internet.

Taking a step back, he said, "Freshman Dad will accompany you, can you come by yourself in the future?"

"But I just want to come here this time." Li Li blinked her big eyes and pursed her mouth unhappily.

A posture that if you don't promise me, Dad, I will be unhappy.

Li Xuan was worried, and it was difficult to let go.

Wei Xi suddenly said: "Uncle, I can help Li Li." She is a senior this year, and the report is very simple, just a matter of stamping her student ID card.

"Yes, yes, sister Wei Xi can help me, Dad, you just promise me, September 9st should be a working day, Dad, you have taken so many vacations recently, if you ask your leader again, there will be some opinions. "Li Li babbled, and her words were quite reasonable.

Li Xuan found that he could not refute.

He glanced at Wei Xi beside his daughter, and felt relieved.

"Okay." He let go.

"Thank you, Dad!" Li Li was so happy that she couldn't help jumping up and down.

Li Xuan frowned, afraid that she would fall.

Seeing her landing smoothly, she looked at Wei Xi next to her, "Xiao Wei, I'll trouble you to take care of A Li on the day of the report."

Wei Xi nodded, "Uncle, don't worry, I will."

For more than a day, she wanted to take care of the little girl for the rest of her life.

The author has something to say: Li Xuan: "Our A Li, please take care of me, Xiao Wei."

Wei Xi: Yes, my father-in-law.
