Chapter 11: Amusing the Child

It's really embarrassing that he, a living person, is not as attractive as a dead object.

Su Yan moved back, placed the doll between the two of them, and then tore open the packaging bag.

The compressed stuffed bear came into contact with the air and gradually returned to its original shape.

After a while, a two-meter-tall rag doll lay on the sofa. Because it was so big, one of the rag doll's legs and hands were on the ground.

Su Yan's eyes sparkled, and her joy was evident without her having to speak.

Holding a soft bear leg, Su Yan looked at He Ji and thanked him crisply.

"You're such a loser for being so happy with just a stuffed doll."

He Ji said something in a hoarse voice, then reached out and pulled the teddy bear over.

"It's almost dawn. Go get some rest. We'll look at this bear tomorrow."

My fever just subsided and I haven’t recovered much energy yet. I can’t sit for too long.

He didn't want to see a sickly child. Although she wasn't very lively when she was not sick, at least she was energetic.

Speaking of rest, Su Yan thought of her window without glass, and the joy of getting the teddy bear disappeared instantly.

She pursed her lips and plucked the hair of the stuffed bear's legs from time to time. "Can you fix windows?"

Replacing a window like the one in her house is not expensive, but the shipping and labor are expensive.

If he didn't know how to do it, most of the money she had saved would probably be spent again.

He Ji stood up, patted his pants, held her in one hand and the stuffed bear in the other, and said, "There is nothing in this world that I can't do."

"Forget installing a window. We can even tear your house down and rebuild it."

He is a professional in this field. How could such a small task as changing a window be difficult for him? The kids have too little confidence in him.

"From big things like demolishing houses and building new ones to small things like alarm clocks and watches, there's nothing I can't do."

"So if you encounter any problems in the future, just come to me."

He Ji carried her into the second bedroom, got her bedding and spread it out, then gently pushed her forward.

"Go to sleep quickly. I'll be outside. You don't have to worry about any random people coming in through the window."

Su Yan widened her eyes in surprise, not understanding why he knew what she was thinking.

He Ji whistled, but didn't try to explain it to her. He watched her lie down and then left.

Whatever the child is thinking is written on his face. He is not stupid, so how could he not see it?

After a busy day and taking care of her until late at night, He Ji was really tired.

Lying on the sofa, he closed his eyes and fell asleep in a short while.

After sleeping for less than three hours, He Ji opened his eyes when the soft morning light shone in from the balcony.

I glanced at the time and it was just past four o'clock.

The days get light very quickly in the summer. If it were winter, he would have to sleep for two more hours.

After washing his face casually, he tiptoed out. When he came back, he was carrying a window on his shoulder and holding the breakfast he had just bought in his hand.

Su Yan in the second bedroom had not woken up yet, so he did not install the window. He spent a few minutes to finish breakfast and went back into the kitchen.

He just wanted to buy some porridge from outside, but the porridge there was very salty and not suitable for patients.

He quickly washed the pot and rice, put them away, pressed the switch, and sat back on the sofa.

After a while, my hands started to be bombarded with messages, ding ding ding, and it didn't stop for a long time.

He has been really busy recently. Several construction sites are under pressure to be completed, and he almost wishes he could have the ability to clone himself.

He hadn't planned to come back last night. After finishing his work, he was ready to rest, but as soon as he lay down, his eyelids kept twitching.

Feeling uneasy, he hurried back. After knocking on the door for two minutes but no one answered, he called but no one answered. He knew something had happened.

After breaking in through the window, they saw the child lying on the bed, unconscious from the fever.

Fortunately, he came back in time, otherwise the child might have had his brain burned out.

It's really not good for this family to be without a man. Two things have happened in just a few days.

After sitting there for another half an hour, the people at the construction site couldn't wait any longer and started calling him.

He Ji glanced at the second bedroom, covered his phone and walked outside to answer it.

After finishing the call, he went into the second bedroom and took Su Yan's temperature again. After making sure that her fever had completely subsided, he left a note and went out.

The sound of a door closing came into her ears, and Su Yan slowly opened her eyes. She turned her head to look at the note on the bedside table and did not move for a long time.

He Ji was really busy, so busy that he didn't even have time to come back and fix the windows.

He called a worker at the construction site to come and fix it. Fearing that Su Yan would feel embarrassed, he called in advance and asked her to go over to his place for a while.

The people who came to repair the window came during the lunch break. It took them less than ten minutes to finish this small job.

They laid plastic sheeting on the floor before repairing it, so when Su Yan came back, it was as if no one had been in the room.

The newly replaced windows were very bright and much cleaner than the ones she had used for a few years.

She took out her cell phone and wanted to ask how much the windows would cost. She typed the text message several times, but ultimately never sent it out.

She thought that since they lived so close, it would be the same to ask him when he came back, but she didn't know that she would have to wait for more than a month.

He Ji hasn't appeared for more than a month, and he rarely even calls, only sending a few messages.

Without his interruption, Su Yan returned to her old life. Except for going out to buy groceries once a week, she never left the building.

At the end of the month, after collecting the rent, she planned to go out to buy groceries and save the money at the same time.

As soon as I walked out of the corridor, I met He Ji who had not come back for a long time.

After not seeing him for more than a month, he has become even darker, so dark that you might not be able to find him if you stand in a dark room.

With his untidy beard, long hair and dirty clothes, he looked no different from a street scavenger.

She moved her mouth, wanting to ask him why he hadn't come back for so long, but when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she remembered that she had no right to ask.

Standing opposite him, Su Yan was at a loss. She wanted to walk around him and leave, but her feet were out of control.

"Kid, I've only been out for a month, how come you've lost so much weight?"

Seeing that she couldn't speak, He Ji walked over and scratched her face with his dirty hands.

A gray mark ran down her cheek, and He Ji saw her disgusted expression as he wished.

The child loves cleanliness so much that he always wants to dirty her.

"Sorry, I was in such a hurry to get back that I forgot I didn't wash my hands."

His eyes were full of amusement, and it was clear that he had a purpose.

Su Yan bit her lower lip, feeling so angry that she wanted to curse.

She wanted to reach out and wipe the marks on her face, but was afraid of getting her hands dirty, so she just turned around and ran upstairs.

He Ji stood at the entrance of the corridor, looking at her anxious expression and laughed out loud.
