It was cool after the rain, so Yuanyuan wore thick clothes and played in the yard touching the blind man.
Pei Zhiyan was reviewing the memorial in the main hall, and the laughter of children could be heard outside.
She was the only person in the yard who dared to laugh loudly.
While Caizhi and Xiaofuzi coaxed her, they kept their voices down for fear of disturbing the people inside.
Wu Xian would come over to pick up the reviewed memorials. Looking at the children playing in the yard, a smile appeared in his eyes.
"I can't help but smile when I see you. Are you so happy to have your palm prints back?"
Maybe it's because I liked her and thought she looked pretty cute when she smiled.
"I'm not happy..."
Yuanyuan immediately retorted, she didn't want the old man to know that she missed him.
"Really? You're grinning from ear to ear."
Wu Xian didn't know what happened between her and the palm print, so he kept it hidden even though he was very happy.
"..."
Yuanyuan immediately covered her mouth and stopped smiling with a stern face.
"come over!"
Wu Xian waved to her, and when he saw her hesitantly approaching, he took out a candy man and handed it to her like a magic trick.
"Thanks!"
Yuanyuan happily took it, it was in the shape of a little rabbit, and it looked lifelike.
Children are easy to entertain, and a candy man is as happy as if he is celebrating the New Year, holding up the whole yard and jumping happily.
The courtyard and the hall were completely different atmospheres, and everything around them became colder again after entering the house.
Wu Xian saluted him and left with the sealed memorial.
"Wait!"
As soon as he reached the door, Pei Zhiyan stopped him.
"What has she done these days? Tell me in detail."
"yes!"
Wu Xian repeated exactly what the child had done during his absence in the past few days.
In fact, it’s nothing, except eating, drinking and having diarrhea, just missing him.
"Palmprint, I checked this child's life experience, and it was blank, as if it appeared out of thin air.
I have observed him carefully in the past few days. He is just an ordinary child, nothing special about him. "
"Um…"
After Pei Zhiyan listened to the child's daily life for three days, his mood did not change, and he just responded lightly.
After Wu Xian left, the corners of his lips quietly raised, and he felt happy.
Yuanyuan wandered around outside and carried the candy man into the house, intending to give the old man a look.
A cold figure stood in front of the long desk, holding a pen. There was a piece of rice paper spread on the table, and Pei Zhiyan was painting.
In the painting, a slightly thin child is standing on a carpet with complicated patterns, holding a pillow, with timid eyes like a little rabbit.
At this time, the person in the painting was standing in front of him holding the candy man, trying to stand on tiptoe to see what he was drawing.
Pei Zhiyan walked up to her, hugged her for the first time, and let her see the painting he had made.
"Is this painting of me?"
Yuanyuan held up the candy man with one hand, tilted her body and pointed at the painting with the other hand.
Children love to move around, and the candy man in their hands keeps shaking.
Just as Pei Zhiyan was about to open his mouth, the candy man's ear was stuffed into his mouth.
Unable to get a response from the old man, Yuanyuan turned to look at him, her high-spirited expression solidifying for a moment.
Time seemed to be frozen, and there was a silent loud noise between the two.
"You stole my candy!"
"I don't!"
Pei Zhiyan had never been so panicked as he was now, and bit off the rabbit's ears in desperation.
"Ah... bad daddy... my candy... ah... people..."
Yuanyuan looked at her mutilated candy man and burst into tears.
Before she had a chance to take a bite, she was bitten into pieces by the bad father.
"not me……"
The child cried loudly and struggled to get out of his arms.
Pei Zhiyan was afraid of hurting her with force, so he had to put her on the ground first.
"It's you, I...I saw you eating...um..."
Yuanyuan cried and complained, and ran out holding the mutilated candy man.
"Be careful, I didn't eat it, you fed it to me."
Pei Zhiyan hurriedly chased after him and followed him into the yard.
"I didn't feed you, you lied..."
This made Yuanyuan very angry, staring at him with tearful eyes.
He obviously held it well in his hand, but he turned around and ate it.
"I don't…"
Pei Zhiyan hasn't spit out the candy in his mouth yet, now it's really a case of both the person and the person taking the stolen goods.
Without a third person present, he could not explain it clearly even if he had a thousand mouths.
Xiaofuzi and Caizhi probably understood what was going on.
In this situation, it was hard for them to believe that Master Zhang Yin was innocent.
"You have!"
Yuanyuan cried hard. Seeing that her bad father still refused to admit that he had done something wrong, he stamped his feet twice angrily.
Seeing Pei Zhiyan's presence, the palace attendants on the side did not dare to step forward to coax him.
"..."
He sighed and stepped forward to pick up the child again.
"Okay, can I eat it?"
"It was originally..."
Yuanyuan sniffed and saw that he admitted his mistake, so she cried softly, put the remaining corner of the candy man into her mouth and sipped it.
"Stop crying, I'll buy you a new one tomorrow."
Pei Zhiyan raised his hand to wipe the tears from her face.
After two confrontations, he already understood that he couldn't be tough with her and could only live by following her wishes.
"That...then...that's okay..." Yuanyuan ate the candy in her mouth and looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Just tell me if you want to eat it next time. Don't eat it secretly. It's not like I won't let you eat it."
"I didn't steal..." Pei Zhiyan saw that she was about to cry again, so he had to change his words: "I won't steal it next time, okay?"
People around them felt like they were hallucinating while listening to the conversation between father and daughter.
Is this what Master Palm Print would say?
It’s so inconsistent with his usual style!
"Well, this is what makes a good father."
Yuanyuan nodded, but she stopped crying.
"I'm not your father!"
Pei Zhiyan sounded a little lonely and carried her into the house.
It is impossible for him to have a child. Although the child is good, he will not deceive himself.
"Who are you!"
Yuanyuan's tone was very determined.
"Do you know who I am?"
Pei Zhiyan took her to the second floor. The surroundings were very quiet and no one would listen to what she said.
"man…"
At the most basic level, Yuanyuan can tell the difference.
"No, I'm not really a man. I'm a eunuch. I can't have children."
Pei Zhiyan lowered his eyes and looked at her, seemingly explaining to her, but in fact he was warning himself not to have delusional thoughts or be greedy for things that did not belong to him.
The scabbed scar was torn open, revealing another bloody wound.
"I am your child, and you and I are one family."
Yuanyuan doesn't know what an eunuch is, she only knows that this is her father.
"..."
This sentence still touched Pei Zhiyan. The word "family" was very important to him.
Except for her, no one in the world would say that she was willing to be his family member.
"Don't call me dad in the future. Follow them and call them palm prints. You can always live here while I am still alive."
Getting involved with a heinous person like him will not end well in the future.
Yuanyuan handed the half-eaten candy man to his mouth: "I'll give you another bite."
"It's all your saliva, I won't eat it."
Pei Zhiyan looked at her with disdain. He had been dying with just one bite, but now he was suddenly willing to eat it for himself.
It's really confusing.
"eat…"
Yuanyuan pushed the candy man to his mouth, and ate it secretly when he was not given it, and refused to eat it when it was given to him.
Dad is so weird...
