Sansan knew that she had a father and wanted to call him daddy, which was understandable. In fact, Zhou Yi wanted the father-daughter relationship to be "honest" more than she did, but he didn't have much qualifications to make demands.
After Sansan heard what Zhou Yi said, she became even more curious about the past events of the two of them, "Have you done anything serious wrong before? Can you tell me?"
Zhou Yi stared at the shelf next to him in silence for a while, as if there were two forces pulling in his body - Sansan already has a relatively obvious sense of right and wrong at this age. What he did back then, if he really said it without modification, , Sansan will definitely be very disappointed with him.
But if he didn't say anything, there was no way for Sansan to understand Zheng Pianqing's mood.
After some hesitation, Zhou Yi chose to tell the truth. He took a deep breath and said, "Because... when your mother and I were in a relationship, I was still secretly in contact with my previous girlfriend."
Sansan's facial features wrinkled upon hearing this, and for a moment she couldn't understand what Zhou Yi's "secret contact" meant.
and……
"Mom said that two people can be friends even after they fall in love and separate." Sansan said.
"Your mother became friends with her previous boyfriend because they were no longer in love." Zhou Yi explained to Sansan, "After I fell in love with your mother, she asked not to let me be with my previous girlfriend. After requesting contact, we continued to contact each other secretly, and then she found out, so we separated."
"Oh..." Sansan seemed to understand, scratching her hair: "So you had two girlfriends together, right?"
Zhou Yi: "..."
Sansan: "Brother Xiao Zuo said this is cheating and a scumbag."
She raised her head and looked at Zhou Yi, "You are a scumbag, right?"
Zhou Yi: "...Yes."
Things that I could readily admit before have become so difficult to nod in front of Sansan.
He knew that San San didn't quite know the true meaning of these words, and just followed Xiao Zuo and Xiao You to draw the gourd, but listening to his precious daughter's comments like this, Zhou Yi still felt a little bitter in his heart.
"Because I did this kind of thing, your mother left me. I hurt her. She never wanted to see me. But later she was willing to talk to me because she didn't want to disappoint you." At this point, Zhou Yi's voice was a little hoarse, and he patted Sansan on the shoulder, "She loves you more than me, so you have to put her first, okay?"
"I understand." Sansan nodded, "Then let's keep this matter as our little secret."
Although she was a little regretful, Sansan quickly accepted this reality - although she wanted to call her daddy, if her mother would be angry or sad, she didn't have to do this.
Anyway...it doesn't matter if you don't call him dad, they can still see each other every day.
Mentioning this, Sansan suddenly remembered something. When Zhou Yi pushed the shopping cart forward, Sansan raised her head and confirmed with him: "Then will you really stay with me?"
Zhou Yi: "Of course."
"What if you don't like mom anymore and fall in love with someone else? Will you still stay with me?" Sansan asked for more details.
Zhou Yi: "I won't like others."
He also answered this question very firmly, "Next, the only person I like is your mother."
"But Xiaozuo and Xiaoyou said that you have liked many, many people." Sansan's little face wrinkled up again, "What do you call Big Carrot?"
Zhou Yi: "..."
What did these two brothers teach San San? San San’s Chinese is just average. Can they teach her something better?
"That was before. Now and in the future, I will not like anyone else. I only like you and your mother." Zhou Yi patiently and gently coaxed San San, "From now on, I will be with you every day and follow you forever. This is great. What?"
Sansan nodded, then thought of something: "Don't you work?"
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "I'm working for your mother, don't you remember?"
Sansan was enlightened, yes, how could she forget such an important thing?
After hearing Zhou Yi's explanation, Sansan finally stopped thinking. She took Zhou Yi's hand and said, "From now on, when there are only two of us, I will call you 'Dad'."
"Okay." Zhou Yi agreed without hesitation.
——
Zheng Pianqing didn't know what happened in the supermarket. When Zhou Yi took Sansan to the supermarket, she went to tidy up her clothes, and then sat in the living room waiting for them to come back.
While waiting, Qin Lie came to WeChat.
Qin Lie: [When will you return to New York? 】
Zheng Pianqing: [Not sure yet, why do you ask this suddenly? 】
Qin Lie: [My birthday is in three days. Do you want to celebrate it together? 】
Zheng Pianqian only remembered after seeing this news that it was indeed Qin Lie's birthday - they had spent a long time together. She remembered the specific time of Qin Lie's birthday very clearly, and they had been together twice before. Birthday.
Zheng Pianqing: [I’ll discuss it with Sansan. 】
Qin Lie: [Bring her here with you? 】
Zheng Pianqing: [No need, I’ll find someone to take her. 】
Qin Lie: [Zhou Yi? 】
Zheng Pianqing: [Yeah. 】
She didn't hesitate when replying to this message, nor did she think about hiding it. Compared to before, now that she saw Zhou Yi's name, she didn't have any emotional ups and downs, and was more calm.
This change can be seen even through words.
Qin Lie: [Sansan likes him very much, which is good. 】
Zheng Pianqing: [Yeah. 】
Qin Lie: [Your attitude towards him seems to be different. 】
Zheng Pianqing: [He is very good to Sansan and is a good father. As long as Sansan is happy. 】
As soon as this message was sent, the doorbell rang.
It was Zhou Yi who brought San San back from the supermarket.
Zheng Pianying put down her phone and opened the door. Zhou Yi carried the largest shopping bag in his hand and bought not only the ingredients for dinner, but also a lot of fruit.
"You haven't eaten much fruit these days. I'm going to wash two plates." Zhou Yi went to the kitchen with a shopping bag and quickly brought two plates of washed fruits.
A plate of strawberries and a plate of cherries are what Zheng Pianqing likes to eat.
After putting down the fruit, Zhou Yi went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Zheng Pianqing ate the fruit and chatted with Sansan about the arrangements for the next few days.
Sansan still had many places she wanted to go, and she wasn't willing to leave Beicheng so soon. Therefore, when Zheng Pianqian asked, she counted a list of scenic spots she had never been to.
Zheng Pianqing nodded and discussed with her: "I may not be able to accompany you every day. Is it okay for you to follow Uncle Zhou?"
"OK~" Sansan gestured. This was not a difficult task for her. "Mom, are you too tired and need a rest?"
Zheng Pianqing shook her head, "I might have to meet a friend because of something."
Sansan said "Oh" and followed subconsciously and asked: "Is he a friend I know?"
Zheng Pianqing took a strawberry and changed the subject, "The local strawberries in Beicheng are delicious. Try it."
Sansan ate the strawberry and temporarily forgot about the previous question.
