Chapter 9 We Are Not

Don’t think it’s been half a month since he was able to get out of bed and walk around. The injuries to his body were so severe that the doctor forced him to lie on the bed until the wound healed before allowing him to walk around. But the walk was limited to the room, but he was naturally quiet My novice dad only gets out of bed to hug the little guy when the little guy is noisy and needs to be coaxed. At other times, he will either lie down quietly to rest, or stay quietly and listen to the small movements of the babysitter in the room .

He has been used to not causing trouble to those around him since he was a child. Now that his eyesight is not convenient, and he has another child, the people in the whole house almost revolve around the father and son. The real master does not have much sense of existence.

He occasionally heard a few words, knowing that Mr. Chu still has work here, and he is busy most of the time. When he comes back early in the evening, he will come to see the child, and occasionally ask about his situation. When they come back too late, they He won't come to bother him after rest. He is a little afraid to see Mr. Chu, but he also hopes that he can come, and that he can spend more time with the child.

He was a light sleeper, and it got worse after having a baby. The babysitter Ava saw that he was always woken up and suggested moving the baby to the next room at night, but he couldn't sleep well without the baby, so he had to keep the baby by his side At night, the little one wakes up as soon as he feeds, but his body recovers well.

"...Woke you up?" Afraid of waking him up, Ava pinched the little guy to feed the little guy, but the small sound of the little guy drinking milk still woke up the light-sleeping father, "The baby will finish drinking the milk soon Now, you should rest now."

"It's okay," he groped to sit up from the bed. Although the temperature in the room was constant, but when he sat up suddenly from the quilt, the coolness still invaded him. He touched the thin robe beside the pillow and put it on, "Is the baby awake?"

"I didn't wake up, I was drinking milk with my eyes closed." Ava hugged the little guy in her arms carefully with a thin quilt. The little guy had already grown up, and the crumpled little face had faded from the redness, and it was as white as an egg that had been peeled off its shell. , Like a delicate doll, people can't put it down.

"Then don't bother him."

The little guy sometimes wakes up after drinking milk at night. When he wakes up, he always hums twice. Let his father hold him in his arms and coax him, and he will be good. He will sleep peacefully in his arms. He continued to sleep on the small bed. In short, he was a well-behaved and easy-to-raise little guy.

It's almost early morning, and the child hasn't woken up. Ava didn't talk to him even if he lost his sleepiness. She quietly hugged the little guy and sat on a chair beside him to feed the little guy. She leaned on the head of the bed and listened to the child swallowing There is a slight sound, drowsiness seems to be absent, consciousness is still awake, and I can sleep peacefully even when I lie down.

"Is it windy outside?"

"Well, maybe it's going to rain." The wind has been blowing at night, it was still small earlier, but now it has blown the windows so loudly.

"...They said that this winter is colder than ever before." The room was warm, the quilt was comfortable, and the pillows were fragrant and soft. The cramped and air-tight iron house I was in half a month ago was like an unreal dream. But then he thought he was going to die there.

"It's been so many years that winter hasn't been as cold as this year." Ava didn't want to disturb his rest, but he was rarely willing to speak, so he didn't interrupt him, "This winter also rains more than before."

"Well, I heard them say that it rarely rains in winter... in winter, the temperature is much lower when it rains, and many children are prone to illness." I don't know what happened to the little granddaughter of the grandmother who took care of him for a long time?When he was still in Soweto, the child seemed to be a little uncomfortable. In such a cold day, there was no warm clothes and not enough food. Their grandparents didn't know if they could survive this winter safely, and he couldn't help on them...

"The child's resistance is weak, the temperature drops, and the child is prone to catch a cold, but if the baby pays attention to reducing the temperature difference, there will be no problem." Ava thought he was worried about the child, and comforted him in a gentle voice.When the little guy was born, he stayed in the incubator for a few days due to developmental reasons. Mr. Chu also specially prepared a newborn medical team in case of emergencies, so his worry was just a common problem of novice fathers in Ava's opinion.

Don't think he smiled and didn't say much, he knew that with Mr. Chu around, the child could get the best care.

"By the way... Mr. Chu hasn't come back yet?"

"It seems that he hasn't come back." Mr. Chu will come to see the child when he comes back in the evening. He hasn't come tonight, and it's not too late. He probably hasn't come back yet.

"It is going to rain……"

Ava doesn't know what has happened between the two of them, and she doesn't understand that they have children and they are more unfamiliar and polite than strangers. Before she came to work here, the housekeeper had already explained carefully, don't bother with anything other than work. anything other thanShe has been in this profession for many years, and most of her clients are wealthy families who pay great attention to privacy, and she also knows that too much curiosity is not a good habit, but it is the first time she meets such a strange person, and she is really a little overwhelmed.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chu is probably too busy with work."

"No, no, I'm not..." Mo Zhen waved his hands again and again, his face flushed.

Ava couldn't help laughing at his bewildered look, "Don't be nervous, you can't hide your concern if you like someone."

She could see that Mr. Mo was looking forward to Mr. Chu's appearance, but Mr. Chu's work seemed very busy, and he was rarely at home during the day. Even if he was at home, he would deal with work in the study. It will be late too.When he came back early, he would come to see the children, and occasionally had a few conversations with Mr. Mo, very brief but he could hear the concern in it.It goes without saying that Mr. Chu is very concerned about the child, but she thinks that Mr. Chu cares more about the possible father of the child, because when Mr. Mo’s situation was not ideal, she saw Mr. Chu and the doctor talking alone more than once. At that time, Mr. Chu The look is not easy.

"No, we're not..." Mo Zhen opened his mouth, and couldn't confide the rest of the words to this person who was not even familiar.

There is no such thing as a so-called like or dislike between them. The first meeting was not a simple liking in a few words, let alone pure feelings. It is probably no one's expectation that they have come to this point.

When he left this little guy behind privately, he never thought that his father would know his existence, let alone that they would see each other again. He thought he would take this child to wander, but the accident is better than tomorrow Come first.

He had expected that Huo Yuanyang would come, he had expected that Huo Shouye would come, but he never thought that when he was in deep despair, the person who would descend from the sky to save him would be Mr. Chu...

"Emotions need connection and time. You have the most inseparable connection now. What is lacking is some time. Don't worry, everything will not be a problem as long as you are willing." Ava thought he had a bad feeling for the other father of the child. Deep, but in her opinion, as long as there is a child, and one party is interested, all it needs is some time. Sooner or later, they will develop a relationship that can live together.Because Mr. Chu is so good, and it is not difficult to fall in love with such a good man, even though they are of the same gender.

Listening to Ava's words, I couldn't help but smile wryly. How can there be anything in this world that can be achieved as long as one wants it?There are too many people and things in this world, and things often go against our wishes, or even run counter to them.Under the absolute strength of fate, personal will is nothing, just like a marionette, the strings that hold you back are in the hands of others, you are a puppet under the strings, you have to move no matter what the strings hold you How to move.

The door was knocked lightly twice and pushed open, interrupting the conversation in the room, it was Chu Ting who came home late after the rain.

"Mr. Chu." The little guy who just finished drinking the milk fell asleep in his arms, and Ava got up from the chair with the baby in his arms.

"I heard voices." Chu Ting was still wearing a neat suit coat, followed by the housekeeper, who seemed to have just stepped into the house.

"The baby just fell asleep after drinking milk, do you want to see him?" It's hard to miss the baby even after being so busy, Ava knows that he only has such a short few minutes to spend with the baby in a day.

"No, let him sleep well." The temperature was a little low today, and he was so cold that he didn't want to go to the child's side, so he turned to Mo Dan, who leaned against the head of the bed, "I heard from the housekeeper that you can get out of bed and walk out of the room today. The doctor said you You need to take care of your injuries, and don’t force yourself before your body recovers.”

It was rare for him to say such a long sentence, so he was a little flattered, and hurriedly sat up straight, "I see, Mr. Chu."

Chu Ting wanted to say something, but seeing that he looked as cute as a child, he didn't say anything, and nodded to Ava before saying, "Go to bed early."

"Ah."

Don't hesitate to pull down the robe on the shoulders while responding, and when he heard the footsteps of Chu Xuan turning around, he obediently pulled the quilt and lay down.

Ava looked at Mo Dan, who was as obedient as a primary school student, and couldn't help laughing. Mr. Mo was very obedient in front of Mr. Chu, and he obediently responded to what Mr. Chu said, even more obedient than the little baby in his arms.

Ava carefully put the sleeping little one on the crib, covered her with a quilt, and left a dim sleep light, "Mr. Mo, you can sleep peacefully, the baby is asleep."

"Ah."

After Ava told him good night, he left the room, and he silently counted the steps Ava took away. When he counted sixteen steps, he heard the door open. When the door opened, he faintly heard the voice of the housekeeper outside and the sound of rain. Sure enough, it was raining outside, but the sound insulation of this room is too good to hear.

The door was quickly closed to block the sound from the outside, and the room was quiet and quiet. There was nothing wrong with curling up in the soft and warm quilt. The topic at the hospital that day came to an end because the baby’s examination was over. Afterwards, Mr. Chu also He didn't continue to talk to him, and he didn't know what Mr. Chu's plans were, but at least for now they had a stable environment that could shelter them from wind and rain, which was already very good.

When I was in Soweto before, the roof was made of iron. When it rained, the roof made a ding-dong-dong sound. Light rain can make a heavy rain. It was also leaking wind and rain, and it would be flooded if the rain was too heavy. The living environment was harsh, and there was almost no medical treatment. There were countless pregnant women who died in Soweto.He has never had a maternity checkup, and he doesn't know whether the child is healthy. The closer he is to giving birth, the more frightened he is. He is afraid that they will die together in that painful and difficult childbirth before he sees the child who was laboriously conceived in October. That's true, if it wasn't for Mr. Chu, he and the child would have died in that shabby tin house in Soweto.

Mr. Chu let their father and son survive, and he is very grateful to him. No matter what happens in the future, they have survived that hardship. Maybe there are many things in this world that are more desperate than life and death, but he already has hope.

He doesn't expect that he can fully own this "little hope" that allows him to break free from despair, he only hopes that he can grow up with him, no matter what his identity is.
