Chapter 240 Chapter 240 Honest Dad 4
Yang Fan received a free beating from Zhuo Zhuo, successfully understanding the secrets of her small fists. He had gone from being an ordinary ghost to a divine cultivator because someone believed in him. The power of faith was Yang Fan's lifeline; he was all too familiar with it.
When Zhuozhuo was massaging him, the imperceptible power of faith repaired his body upon contact, reducing the pain and making it disappear.
She really hoped he wouldn't have a headache.
Yang Fan was in a daze. Before joy washed over him, his first feeling was disbelief and bewildered panic. How could a demon like him, a murderer with countless crimes, receive kindness? Why? Is it true that human nature is inherently good? Zhuozhuo was kind and lovable, like a little sun. Seeing someone in distress, she naturally wanted to help, especially since he was her father.
But why did Zhuozhuo call him daddy? Did her real dad look like this fake daddy? No, Zhuozhuo had already been calling him daddy even before she saw his human form.
Maybe Zhuozhuo was an orphan and really wanted a father, and he happened to appear, so he was recognized by Zhuozhuo.
But this coincidence, born of luck, made Yang Fan feel insecure. He had never been one to be favored by fate. It was very possible that tomorrow Zhuozhuo would want someone else to be his father for other reasons. Then, Zhuozhuo would abandon him, and he would be thrown back into the darkness of loneliness.
…
That's pretty good.
He's used to it anyway.
When Zhuozhuo didn't want him, he would never ask her too many questions and pester her to make her feel embarrassed and annoyed.
Zhuozhuo was panting with exhaustion. She looked at Yang Fan's surprised expression with a sense of accomplishment. Just as she was about to hit him again, she found that Yang Fan was visibly getting worse. He was almost crying with a dark cloud on his head.
"Dad! What's wrong with you?"
Zhuozhuo stretched his little head and asked, wishing he could observe him face to face.
Yang Fan moved Zhuo Zhuo's head away and whispered, "I'm fine, go to sleep."
"Zhuozhuo doesn't want to sleep. Daddy is unhappy. Zhuozhuo can't sleep. Daddy is all in his head!"
Yang Fan was amused, and his mood improved a bit. He really wanted to ask Zhuozhuo if she liked Daddy, but his weak character prevented him from opening his mouth. Just as he was about to start another topic, Zhuozhuo suddenly hugged him like a bear. Her tender and sweet voice filled his ears, "Zhuozhuo loves Daddy so much. Daddy is not feeling well, and Zhuozhuo is so worried. If Daddy is not happy, Zhuozhuo is not happy too!"
As if his heart were filled with marshmallows, Yang Fan felt that the whole ghost was soft, sweet, and full of courage. He blurted out, "Zhuozhuo, will you leave Daddy?"
He was filled with anxiety. In this atmosphere, he had to say "no" anyway, right?
Zhuozhuo thought about it seriously, raised his head and said softly, "Zhuozhuo doesn't want to leave Daddy. If a bad guy snatches Zhuozhu away, will Daddy look for Zhuozhu?"
Yang Fan felt something and said gently and firmly, "Yes, Dad will search every corner of the world, even if it means poking a hole in the sky, to find Zhuozhuo."
Zhuozhuo laughed and fell into Yang Fan's arms. She hugged his neck and said softly, "Daddy is looking for Zhuozhuo, and Zhuozhuo is happy. But Daddy doesn't need to look for him. Zhuozhuo will come back on his own to find Daddy!"
"Didn't you say that you were kidnapped by bad guys? What if you run away by yourself and the bad guys hurt you? Zhuozhuo, be obedient, don't anger the bad guys, and wait for daddy to rescue you." Yang Fan's gentle speech speed increased a lot, which showed that he was really anxious and worried.
Zhuozhuo laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, Zhuozhuo has everything, and he will find a way through the back door!"
9972:[……]
I should have known not to talk so much to Zhuozhuo.
Yang Fan asked a few more questions and learned that the so-called bad guys weren't the villains everyone thought they were. They were just "they" who would temporarily break them up, so Zhuo Zhuo called them bad guys. He also guessed that they all belonged to a large non-profit organization that went around solving dangerous people and saving the world from danger.
Needless to say, Yang Fan knew that he was a "dangerous person" and Zhuozhuo was here to deal with him.
He also knew how he was in danger.
Ever since he embarked on the path of spiritual cultivation, he grew stronger day by day. Suddenly, one day, he vaguely sensed the rules governing the operation of the world. This was a new, immature little world, tremblingly starting to function, relying on two lines of destiny as its foundation. If it operated smoothly and received positive feedback, the little world would grow stronger, gradually reducing its reliance on fixed lines of destiny and radiating vitality.
But Yang Fan was a wild card. He single-handedly changed the direction of two fates, making the already fragile small world even more precarious. If this continued, the small world would undoubtedly collapse.
The anchor who infuriated Yang Fan had a younger sister, a high school student. She held one of Yang Fan's fates in check. She was both academically and morally excellent, but she had a gambling father, a sick mother, and a lazy, scoundrel brother. Life was tough, but they managed to hold on until the anchor's brother ran away with all the family's money. The younger sister was forced to work in a bar to pay for her mother's medical treatment.
While working, the younger sister was rescued by the domineering boss when she was being teased. After she passed the college entrance examination and became an adult, she was kept by the domineering boss again, which triggered a series of physically and mentally abusive plots. When it was irreversible, she awakened her memories of her past life and found out that they had been husband and wife for ten lifetimes, and they had been in love with each other in every lifetime. Now, after passing the test of the last life, they can prove that their love is true and deep, and every life thereafter will be sweet and happy.
Oh yes, the domineering president is the supporter of another line of destiny.
After Yang Fan killed the anchorman, even if Xiao Shijie, in order to save himself, let his gambling father lose all his money and the creditors come to collect, and also forced his sister to work in the bar, but because Yang Fan forbade any noise above 50 decibels, there was no inspiring music, and the people in the bar were afraid to get drunk for fear of getting themselves drunk, it was difficult for them to irrationally force another person. Moreover, the sister threatened that she would create a loud noise to kill everyone.
So, before the boss showed up, the younger sister solved the problem by herself. If there is a situation later, the same routine can be used many times, after all, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
Having tasted the sweetness of success, the younger sister, after her gambling father once again stole her life-saving money, schemed to get her drunk and mad, only to be killed by a ghost. Afterwards, the younger sister lived a hard life with her mother. Even though fate still allowed her to meet a domineering boss, she felt that the boss's constant attention on her, a minor, was a pervert, so she called the police.
Although the boss was fine, and like most plotters, his sister caught his attention, he held back until she finished her college entrance exams and became an adult. Unfortunately, he lacked the life-saving grace and the willingness to risk his sister's life, so he was always at a disadvantage in his confrontations with her. Now, nine years later, the sister is a mature police officer with a boyfriend, and the boss's lover is expecting a baby in two months.
If things continue like this, they will fail the test in this life, their fate lines will collapse, and the small world will be buried with their love.
But Yang Fan had no intention of saving her, and even saved her when the world consciousness created several accidents to cause the domineering president's lover to have a miscarriage.
Yang Fan didn't know what he was thinking. He was very sure that he was not an antisocial personality, nor was he crazy enough to destroy the world. He just watched quietly as the world moved towards the worst possible ending.
If Zhuo Zhuo asked him to change all this, Yang Fan thought, he would not refuse.
But Zhuozhuo said nothing. She was sleepy and pulled Yang Fan to sleep. At that moment, Yang Fan felt relieved and at ease. The suspicion that Zhuozhuo had come for him made him feel at ease and secure. He closed his eyes almost submissively and slept with Zhuozhuo. When he woke up, the sunset outside the window was only a small tail, disappearing below the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Yang Fan touched the blanket under Zhuo Zhuo and found that she had not wet the bed. He quickly carried her to the toilet and supported her, "Go pee."
After washing their hands and faces, Zhuozhuo dried them. Zhuozhuo recalled the chemical plant explosion and asked what happened. Yang Fan answered as he took Zhuozhuo downstairs to eat the dinner they had just prepared.
Zhuozhuo ate and started laughing.
Yang Fan wiped away the rice and vegetables she had sprayed out, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
“Having dinner with dad, happy~”
"We eat together every day, which is enough to make you happy."
After dinner, Wang came to report to Yang Fan on the rescue progress and follow-up work arrangements, and expressed his sincere gratitude to him and Zhuozhuo.
Yang Fan was not interested in these. Zhuozhuo pulled Wang the property manager and asked him many questions for a long time before letting him go. He changed into shoes and went out for a walk with Yang Fan. He once again realized how big this community was. They walked along the gravel road for a while before they met a pair of grandparents and grandchildren.
Accompanied by her parents, Zhuozhuo was more outgoing and cheerful. She stared at the pretty little boy across from her for a while, then ran over to stand in front of him and said with a smile, "Hello, brother. My name is Zhuozhuo. I want to play with you."
The grandfather and grandson subconsciously looked at Yang Fan. Seeing that he didn't object, the little boy reluctantly walked out from behind his grandfather and whispered, "Hello Zhuozhuo, my name is Zhao Zhidong."
Zhuozhuo took his shy brother's hand and ran to the lake to watch the ducks.
There was a railing around the lake, so children couldn't get through, making it relatively safe. Yang Fan stood under a tree, watching Zhuozhuo, with the boy's grandfather beside him. Like any other parent with a child, they chatted casually.
The streetlights lit up one after another, illuminating everyone's expressions in every detail. Zhuozhuo quickly ran away from the little boy, rushed back like a calf, hugged Yang Fan's legs, and said sullenly, "Dad, go home."
Yang Fan immediately ended the conversation and walked back with Zhuo Zhuo in his arms. When he was far enough away from the grandparents, he said gently, "Why is Zhuo Zhuo unhappy?"
Zhuozhuo leaned on Yang Fan's shoulder and looked back to see the little boy standing in front of his grandfather with his head down, as if he was being scolded. Zhuozhuo became even more unhappy and said in a childish but serious tone, "Dad, this grandfather is not a good person. Let my brother ask Zhuozhuo how to please Yang Fan?"
"That's too bad! How can you teach a child to pry into other people's affairs?"
Zhuozhuo snorted, "Dad, they are not good neighbors."
"Well, then we won't be neighbors with them." Yang Fan said lightly. He knew that the grandparents and their families would move out of the community tonight, whether actively or passively.
Zhuozhuo held Yang Fan's face with both hands, stared into his eyes and asked, "Dad, would you like other children and be a father to other children?"
"No, Dad will only have Zhuozhuo as his child." Yang Fan's tone was so solemn as if he was swearing.
Zhuozhuo was satisfied. He smiled and kissed Yang Fan on the face, leaving a big spit mark. Then he hugged Yang Fan's neck, put his face close to his, and said softly, "Dad, you said you liked Zhuozhuo."
"Zhuozhuo, you are a gift from God to me. I have been busy all my life without any reward, just to accumulate luck and meet you."
These words sounded like corny love words, but they were Yang Fan's most sincere thoughts. He thanked Heaven and all the gods for making him so pitiful, tragic, and hateful, yet also so strong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the chance to meet Zhuozhuo.
