After leaving the appraisal center, Lu Chao turned around and looked at Lu Zheng, moving his lips not knowing what to say.
If something like this happened, I should scold him severely, but then I thought about my usual behavior but couldn't say it out loud.
"I think she looks a lot like me, so I misunderstood you."
Lu Zheng was the first to speak. So far, he still didn't believe that this child was his cub.
After all, he knows best whether he has lived a life of X or not.
Such an explanation serves as an apology in the tense father-son relationship.
Lu Chao's eyes stopped, and it took him a while to realize that he was explaining to himself that they hadn't had such a peaceful communication for a long time.
"Take the kids back first, and we'll talk about other things tomorrow. Get some rest early."
"..."
Lu Zheng waited for him to finish, then took the child's hand and walked forward, hailing a taxi on the side of the road without even looking back.
"You brat, you have no manners at all."
Before Lu Chao's heart could warm up, he was instantly doused with cold water. Looking at his indifferent back, he couldn't help but feel chilled.
The wind in the early summer evening was cool, tall plane trees were planted on both sides of the road, and the rustling sound was in my ears.
The little guy sat quietly beside him, with a wide distance between them.
Lu Zheng was in a confused state of mind. He tapped the edge of the car window with his long knuckles. His hair was blown by the wind, revealing his smooth forehead. He frowned slightly. He looked like this unhappy most of the time.
The car stopped in a high-end community. Lu Chao bought it when he was in the second grade of junior high school. He has been living here since then and will not go home if nothing happens.
The house with three bedrooms and two living rooms is decorated in a Nordic style, spacious and atmospheric, with good lighting.
When he got home, Lu Zheng didn't even bother to change his shoes. He lay on the sofa with the back of his hands pressed against his eyelids.
The little guy stood at the entrance, not knowing where to stay for a moment.
After more than ten minutes, Lu Zheng finally remembered her existence. He looked at her with a pair of dark eyes and asked, "What are you standing there for?"
"I am going now…"
The little guy quickly moved over and stood quietly in front of him.
She is like a broken pointer, moving it every time, it is funny and a bit funny.
"Sit down, aren't you tired of standing all the time?"
Lu Zheng's brows relaxed a little. Although her appearance brought him some trouble, in the final analysis, he took her away first.
I don’t know where her biological parents are?
After getting the report tomorrow to prove her innocence, she will call the police to help her find her family.
"I'm dirty..."
The little guy tugged at his clothes. He was incompatible with this clean and luxurious environment, and the tips of his ears were dyed red.
Seeing her restraint and caution made Lu Zheng feel depressed, so he grabbed her and pushed her to sit on the sofa.
"It's not dirty. It can be washed off. There's no need to worry."
The soft sofa sunk in the moment he sat down. A bright light flashed in the little guy's eyes, and he sighed softly: "It's so soft!"
Lu Zheng had a clear view of her movements. He, who had never cared much about other people's affairs, felt the desire to understand someone for the first time.
"May I have your name?"
"My name is dead girl."
The little one looked up at her. This is what her parents have called her for as long as she can remember.
"What a stupid name! Is that what your family calls you?"
Lu Zheng almost cursed, who a good person would call a child like that?
However, looking at her dress and behavior, it can be roughly concluded that her family is not very good to her.
"Um…"
Lu Zheng sighed and asked something else: "Where is your home?"
"In the village."
"That village?"
"A village in the mountains, a huge mountain."
"..."
Lu Zheng asked around, but she only knew that it was a mountain or a village. She had no idea which mountain or village it was.
It's just that her appearance makes people even more suspicious.
"Warning! Warning! The host should not reveal too much about the previous life to the target."
The warning sound of 007 suddenly sounded in his head, and the little guy's eyes were filled with confusion, unable to fully understand the meaning of its words.
Fortunately, Lu Zheng did not continue to ask. He could roughly understand that it was a very backward place, and maybe the family didn't care much about their daughter.
007 looked through the host's information and found out that he was born in a backward mountain village in the 1970s. He has an older brother and younger brother at home.
Her parents favored sons over daughters and often beat and scolded her. She was over two years old and had to take care of her almost one-year-old brother.
When she was bringing hot water to her brother, her hands shook and she accidentally spilled the hot water, burning the top of her brother's feet.
I was immediately kicked out by my mother and stood in the snow to reflect.
It snowed heavily that day, her family was poor, and the good ones were all close to their men. She stood outside for a long time in thin clothes, and did not dare to enter the house without her mother's permission.
Everyone in the family seemed to have forgotten that there was a person like her. When they called her the next morning, they found that she was not there. When they found her, she was already frozen.
After her death, she not only received no pity, she was also scolded for being so mean-spirited that she deserved to die because she didn't know how to go back.
In the dark snowy night, at the last moment of freezing, she thought that she would have a father and mother who would love her in her next life.
Perhaps, in the mission guide, she should be able to find the love she wants and walk into the next life in love, 007 thought.
However, judging from the current appearance of the host, it may be difficult to complete.
Gu——
The little guy's stomach growled. She covered her belly in embarrassment and looked down at her toes.
In fact, she had felt hungry for a long time, but she didn't dare to say it or ask Lu Zheng for food.
At this moment, my stomach couldn't hold it anymore and I screamed.
There used to be an aunt at home who was responsible for cleaning and cooking. Later, due to some personal matters, the aunt resigned and returned to her hometown.
Lu Zheng was used to staying alone, so he didn't hire anyone new. When the house was in a mess, he would ask someone to come and clean it up.
There were only a few bottles of Coke and foreign wine in the refrigerator. He usually ate out or ordered takeout, so he rummaged through the boxes and found a piece of bread.
"First, I'll pacify my stomach. I'll order takeout. What do you usually like to eat?"
An ordinary piece of bread is a rare delicacy in the eyes of the little guy. It is soft and fluffy with a milky aroma.
"this is delicious!"
Lu Zheng looked at her holding up the bread and smiling at him. He felt that she was cute but also had an unspeakable sadness. He ordered some light food and added a small cake.
The two of them sat like this, with the sound of the little one chewing softly in their ears. She ate very slowly, as if there was no next meal after this meal.
The humility and caution revealed in her bones aroused Lu Zheng's pity for her.
During the summer vacation of his second year in junior high school, he went to his mother's new home. His stepfather was not very enthusiastic about him, and his appearance broke the harmony of the family.
His two-year-old sister doesn't like him either and often puts the blame on him.
For example, deliberately breaking the plate, pointing at him and saying that he dropped it, and so on.
Even if his mother knew it was his sister's fault, she would only ask him to give in to her.
The most deeply hurt time in his memory was when his sister said, "This is my mother. You don't have a mother. Go back to your home."
The harsh and sharp words made him almost burst into tears. He clenched his fingers tightly and barely controlled the urge to hit someone.
But his mother just comforted him and said: "My sister is still young and not sensible. Don't take it to heart because of what she said casually."
