Chapter 20 Daddy has a lot of love
What if the Cheng family chose Xingxing?
The two children started thinking together.
The sound of the hair dryer stopped and someone rubbed his head hard twice.
Xingxing looked up dazedly and met her father's concerned gaze.
"What are you daydreaming about? Is your scalp hot?" Zhou Xiangyang asked as he rubbed it.
Xingxing shook her head obediently and opened her little arms, and her father easily carried her to the bed.
There was a brand new set of clothes beside the bed. Zhou Xiangyang had bought it last night and asked the owner to dry clean it, but he received it today.
"Come, try it on." Zhou Xiangyang shook out the clothes and handed them to the child.
Xingxing specially learned how to put on her own clothes, pants, shoes and socks at the end of the world, so she can change into new clothes by herself without her father's help.
The new clothes were a light yellow T-shirt and a cute pair of overalls. Xingxing pulled the straps over her shoulders. There was a little yellow duck pinned to the front of the straps. Xingxing stood by the bed and tilted her head to look at her father together with the little duck.
Zhou Xiangyang looked at the well-behaved cub, and his eyes were unconsciously filled with pride and smiles.
As expected of the child he raised, he is so cute that everyone will love him wherever he goes!
"Dad will take you to have dinner with grandma who came to our house the other day later. Does Xingxing still remember her?" Zhou Xiangyang held his baby son, who looked refreshed, in his arms again.
Xingxing nodded: "Remember~"
The next second, he was kissed on the forehead by his father.
"Xingxing, Daddy has something to tell you. Please listen carefully first, okay?" Zhou Xiangyang carried his son to the bed and sat on a small stool.
Xingxing looked at his father and found that looking at him like that made his father look shorter. His father had to look up when he saw him, so he nodded and lay down on the bed, resting his head on his father's hand that was on the edge of the bed. He puffed up his face slightly like a little fish, blinked his clear eyes, and looked at him calmly and trustingly.
Zhou Xiangyang was originally feeling heavy-hearted because he was about to tell the truth, but suddenly he was touched by Xingxing's cuteness. He felt helpless and amused. He held the child's chin with his palm and pinched his soft cheeks with his fingers.
It feels great, and I feel healed.
He looked a little more relaxed, and he sat on the edge of the bed, holding the child's head with his palms, and told him in a gentle voice how Xingxing was found by his biological family.
While telling the story, he carefully observed Xingxing's expression, but what puzzled Zhou Xiangyang was that the little guy didn't seem excited or expectant.
Instead, he kept looking at him earnestly with those clear and bright eyes, which made Zhou Xiangyang doubt whether the little guy didn't understand.
"Xingxing, do you understand what daddy just said?" he couldn't help but ask.
The next second, the head in his palm slammed twice.
Zhou Xiangyang asked: "Then Xingxing... do you want to see them?"
In that moment of pause, perhaps there was a sense of uneasiness and nervousness that Zhou Xiangyang himself was not aware of.
Xingxing still nodded seriously in response.
Zhou Xiangyang looked at his son and was silent for several seconds. Then he smiled casually and said, "You little brat, you didn't hesitate at all. Aren't you afraid that your father will be sad?"
The little head that had been firmly planted in his palms was raised up. Xingxing supported her cheeks with her two little hands and answered softly, "Because, Xingxing will not leave Daddy."
Zhou Xiangyang was stunned.
In the previous second he was curling up his empty palms and feeling quietly sad, and in the next second the child's firm and childish answer interrupted all the emotions brewing in his heart.
Then, the deep-seated emotion bubbled out, soaking and relaxing his originally sore and soft heart, making it warm and peaceful.
"With your words, everything dad does is worth it." He raised his hand and patted his son's soft and fluffy hair.
Xingxing was puzzled and frowned.
"Is Dad going to give me to someone else?" He sat up again, frowning and looking at the young man who was secretly holding back his tears.
Zhou Xiangyang couldn't help but feel shocked by the child's sharpness.
His heart trembled violently, and he subconsciously wanted to deny it.
But when the words came to his lips, they all turned into a pale and powerless smile.
"Silly boy, do you know that your biological parents have a lot of money? You grew up with them, and you no longer have to worry about food and clothing, you don't have to work with your father in the warehouse and sell vegetables on the roadside, you don't have to--"
"Dad." Xingxing interrupted his insincere "persuasion".
Zhou Xiangyang's voice stopped abruptly. He looked up at the child sitting upright on the bed, and suddenly felt guilty as if he was about to be scolded by his son.
"What, what's wrong?" He couldn't help but sit up straight as well.
But he was not scolded by the child. Instead, a pair of small hands held his face tightly, and he was forced to look at the child directly. Then he heard the rebuttal of the little Xingxing.
"Dad, you have lots and lots of love."
Xingxing spoke every word seriously. In his father's stunned look, he also learned to rub his father's cheeks with his little hands, and said word by word: "Dad's love is all here with Xingxing, no one can steal it."
Sunflower Dad’s love is well hidden in the stars. It is safer than hiding it in the night sky and will never be stolen by other bad kids.
"..." Zhou Xiangyang opened his mouth and wanted to refute.
I want to say that love cannot make the stars grow up well-fed and well-watered.
I want to say that, judging by the old lady’s situation, Xingxing’s biological family would probably love him very much too.
I want to say more... He was drunk and sleepless, sad and conflicted all night, and finally made the most correct decision. He wanted his adoptive father to be able to return Xingxing to his biological family in a decent manner, so that Xingxing could get the life he deserved and truly have the best and smoothest life from then on.
But after Xingxing said this, all the words became Zhou Xiangyang's most powerless struggle.
...It's so unfair.
This brat has no sympathy for his old father's mood swings.
"Baby, Sunflower daddy is crying again~" Qiuqiu sighed helplessly and loudly.
Xingxing looked at her father who was crying unconsciously, was stunned for a moment, and whispered: "Well, our father loves to cry. Is it true that when human cubs grow up, their tears will also grow up?"
Xingxing decided that she would not cry anymore in the future, so that she would not become a crybaby like Sunflower’s father.
Qiuqiu: "I don't know. Humans are such a complex and diverse life form."
After saying that, I secretly felt extremely happy for Xingxing's words "our dad". I hid behind Xingxing where he couldn't see me, and the whole ball was emitting colorful and messy light.
Only the stars in the world can see it, but the stars are willing to share everything they have with it.
Including the most precious love of mankind.
Xingxing didn’t notice Qiuqiu’s happiness. He was staring at his father who was crying and busy wiping his tears.
Dad is like a sunflower on a rainy day, accumulating many tears, which will secretly fall out even when the weather is clear.
Zhou Xiangyang wiped away his tears casually. He was never such a crybaby before. After all, men don't shed tears easily.
At most, she only cried once in a while while raising Xingxing. For example, she cried when she couldn't afford milk powder and was worried that Xingxing would be hungry, when she couldn't change Xingxing's diaper with one hand, or when Xingxing got sick with a fever in the middle of the night...
"Xingxing, daddy is talking, don't interrupt!" The embarrassed dad, with tears in his eyes, looked stern and angry at the kid who always said all kinds of nice things.
Star:"……"
Sigh, raise your hand, and cover your mouth.
Zhou Xiangyang took a deep breath, trying to preserve his last bit of dignity in his son's clear and clean eyes: "...You are still young, but Dad can't selfishly keep you and let you suffer with me."
The stars are hanging high in the sky, they are born to shine brightly.
