Tongtong seemed to like the intimacy brought by this new name and new identity, and couldn't help but shout louder: "Dad."
Still that cautious and serious tone.
Fu Jingchuan's cheeks were closer to hers, his palms gently stroking her hair, and he responded to her in a mute voice: "Yes."
Tongtong was very happy to receive the response and sweetly called out again: "Dad."
"Um."
"Dad." Tongtong called again.
"Um."
"dad."
Another sound, Tongtong's voice became crisper, happier, and sweeter, and the surprise and happiness on her little face could not be concealed.
Seeing Tongtong like this, Shi Yang felt extremely complicated.
On the one hand, as a mother, she was moved by Tongtong's acceptance and love for her father, and was also happy for her happiness.
It seemed like as long as she was happy, nothing else mattered.
But under such a move, there is also a hidden position that she is her own.
Tongtong knew her father's existence, she accepted her father, liked her father, loved and enjoyed the life with her father, which meant that from now on, she and Fu Jingchuan could no longer be involved.
All her future decisions and considerations related to Fu Jingchuan must first consider Tongtong's feelings, and then herself.
This means that from now on, she is just a mother.
This fact made Shiyang a little sad.
Fu Jingchuan turned around and saw the complexity in Shiyang's expression and eyes, a mixture of relief and sadness. Her eyes were also a little wet, and her expression was a little distracted.
Perhaps she was aware of his gaze, and her unfocused eyes slowly met his, and her eyes regained focus.
She forced a smile at him and said nothing.
Fu Jingchuan also smiled at her.
The family of three entered the elevator together and returned to the 18th floor where Shi Yang lived.
The key that Shiyang opened the door was not the one he took away on the fifteenth floor that day.
Looking at the keychain in her palm that she had never seen before, Fu Jingchuan paused for a moment.
"Home and studio are two sets of keys."
Realizing the pause in Fu Jingchuan's gaze, Shiyang said softly and opened the door.
She knew that Fu Jingchuan had gone out that day, and that he had taken the key and that there were surveillance cameras at the door.
"To guard against me?" Fu Jingchuan asked, his voice was very calm.
Shiyang hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.
"You are so perceptive," she said softly.
"Not as good as you." Fu Jingchuan said, pushing open the door.
Shiyang didn't answer.
Fu Jingchuan glanced at the house. Except that the green plants on the balcony were more prosperous, it was still the same as the last time he came. It was clean and tidy, and it didn't look like he was moving out.
Fu Jingchuan looked at Shiyang: "What were your original arrangements this time?"
Shiyang glanced at him, was silent for a while, and finally said: "I plan to travel, take the nearest flight to wherever the destination is, stay there for a while, and then change to the next city and walk around We'll keep going until Tongtong is of kindergarten age, and then we'll find a city that we both like and that is suitable for Tongtong to grow up in."
"What about here?" Fu Jingchuan looked at her and asked.
Shi Yang pursed his lips slightly and spoke softly: "I originally planned to leave it to an agency after the plane landed. I haven't lived here long, and there aren't many things that need to be dealt with."
The corners of Fu Jingchuan's mouth curled up slightly, and the smile did not reach his eyes: "You are becoming more and more thoughtful in your work."
Shiyang said nothing.
No matter how thorough it is, plans can never keep up with changes.
Just half an hour, just half an hour.
"How did you guess that I was gone?"
Shiyang asked him softly, as calmly as Fu Jingchuan, as calm as if he was talking about what the weather was like today.
In order to avoid arousing Fu Jingchuan's suspicion, she didn't even take her bag with her when she left.
"Intuition." Fu Jingchuan said, looking at her, "Maybe it's fate."
Shiyang looked at him confused.
"The news about the groundbreaking ceremony was being broadcast on TV. Cao Meihui was so excited that she accidentally let it slip that someone had a baby through a sperm bank."
When he mentioned the words "sperm bank", Fu Jingchuan's voice became slightly thicker, and the corners of his mouth curled up coldly. There was a hint of sarcasm in Shi Yang's dark eyes.
Shi Yang pursed the corners of his mouth slightly and lowered his eyes to avoid his sharp black eyes.
Tongtong, who had been listening carefully to the conversation between the two but could not understand, heard the familiar word "sperm bank". She still remembered the last time she had dinner with her mother and beautiful sister, and the beautiful sister also mentioned "sperm bank" "Four words, she always has a very good memory for things she doesn't know."
She also consciously substituted "her" for herself, so she couldn't help but look at Fu Jingchuan with her black and white eyes, and interjected: "What is it?"
Fu Jingchuan: "..."
Tongtong thought Fu Jingchuan didn't understand, so she repeated it completely: "Sperm bank, what is it?"
Shiyang looked at Fu Jingchuan subconsciously.
The last time Tongtong asked this question, she didn't know how to tell her.
Tongtong, who was confused, also looked at Fu Jingchuan eagerly, waiting for his answer.
"Yes..." Fu Jingchuan thought for a moment and whispered to her, "It is a place where people can store important things when they grow up. Children can't use it, so Tongtong doesn't need to worry about it."
After receiving answers from her father, Tongtong finally put aside her doubts. She didn't know whether she understood or not, but nodded seriously: "Oh, that's right. Mom also said that when you grow up, you will understand."
Fu Jingchuan glanced at Shiyang.
"I never told Tongtong this." Shiyang explained subconsciously, "I had dinner with Meihui a few days ago. Meihui didn't expect Tongtong to understand and mentioned this issue."
Tongtong also testified: "Yes, Sister Meihui said so."
Fu Jingchuan smiled and stroked her head, and said softly to her: "Dad doesn't mean to blame mom."
Tongtong was very happy, nodded heavily, and couldn't help but said to Fu Jingchuan: "Well, dad can't, blame mom. Nor can he make mom cry. I haven't even made mom cry."
She didn't forget the way her mother cried when her father took her away.
The innocent children's words made Shiyang's throat choke, but they also reminded her of her emotional loss at the airport just now. She was moved but also a little embarrassed.
She said nothing and stepped forward to stroke her head.
Fu Jingchuan also looked at her and nodded lightly.
"Dad knows." His voice was soft and serious.
Tongtong was particularly happy to receive her father's assurance. She couldn't help but rub herself into Fu Jingchuan's arms, and couldn't help turning her head and smiling at Shi Yang.
Shiyang couldn't help but smile at her, seeing that her eyelids were already fighting up and down. It was already her lunch break at this time, so he stretched out his hand to her: "Mom, take you to take a nap."
"Let me do it."
Fu Jingchuan said, holding her in his arms to enter the room where Sister Gao took her last time. As soon as he reached the door of the room, Tongtong quickly pointed to her and Shiyang's room: "Mom and I, sleep here."
Fu Jingchuan turned to look at Shiyang.
Shiyang didn't know how to answer the call for a while.
Tongtong was already curious and asked: "Dad, will you sleep here with me and mom tonight?"
This is the second time she asked this question today.
"Tongtong, uncle..." Shiyang panicked and called out the wrong name, and quickly corrected it, "Dad has work to do tonight, so he can't sleep here."
Tongtong was a little disappointed and looked at Fu Jingchuan.
Fu Jingchuan smiled at her: "We will move downstairs tonight, just opposite mom's office."
Shiyang glanced at him in surprise.
Tongtong was a little excited and lowered her voice slightly to confirm: "Are you there too?"
