Chapter 70
Zhan Yuan did not notice the sight behind him.
Hearing his daughter's apology, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Yinyin, it's Daddy's fault. Did Mommy scare you?"
"No, Mommy didn't hurt me." Yinyin shook her head with lingering fear, "But Yinyin is afraid that Mommy will get angry and hit Daddy again, which will hurt. Daddy should not make Mommy angry."
Zhan Yuan squeezed the phone tightly and took a deep breath for a long time: "...Okay, I will explain it to Mommy, okay?"
"Okay!" Yinyin immediately became happy and earnestly instructed, "Mom and Daddy must be fine. As long as you listen to Mommy, Daddy won't feel any pain."
Zhan Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the heavy rain outside.
The sky was dark and dark clouds were pressing down. The heavy rain was pouring down, hitting the leaves with a "crackling" sound, and the whistling wind seemed to tear everything apart.
The color in his eyes was as dark as a dark cloud, but under his daughter's urging, he hummed softly and agreed.
Yinyin breathed a sigh of relief, hesitated for a moment, and asked with a little cautious expectation: "Then Dad, can you come back earlier? I miss Dad so much."
Zhan Yuan could no longer tell whether his daughter's every sentence of "I miss Dad, I hope Dad will come back soon" was really what she thought, or whether it was from his wife's "teaching".
He thought more than once, is it really good for his daughter to try to maintain such a family?
But Yinyin said that she wanted her mother.
She wanted her father and mother to be together well.
Thinking of this, Zhan Yuan's originally straight back bent down a little.
He responded again in a dry voice: "...Okay."
After finally making Yin Yin happy, he hung up the phone and suddenly stared at the gloomy sky outside in a daze.
Yu Ke leaned against the window frame, staring at his back, and sighed in his heart: [His daughter is indeed his pillar. ] He
was obviously about to give up, but for the sake of his daughter, he still forced himself to straighten his back and refused to show any weakness.
In the past few days, he has behaved very normally.
Even when he was playing the game just now, he was like a fish in water whether he was throwing or receiving the gag. He could make people laugh with just a random sentence, just like a natural comedian.
No wonder he was so popular with the audience.
It's a pity that everything was ruined.
The system also sighed: [Yeah. If it weren't for his daughter, he might not have survived until now.]
Yu Keke shook her head, and was about to leave quietly, but she happened to see Zhan Yuan turning around.
The picture seemed to freeze when the two looked at each other.
Yu Keke: "..."
Zhan Yuan: "..."
I am most afraid of the sudden silence in the air.
Zhan Yuan held the phone tightly, trying to break the silence, and said dryly: "Keke, why are you here?"
Yu Keke swore that this was definitely an accident.
Looking at the water marks on his face blown by the wind, she blinked slowly, cleared her throat, and said sincerely: "If I say that I was just passing by... Teacher Zhan, do you believe it?"
He was amused by her rare embarrassed look. Zhan Yuan wiped his face, and his originally stiff expression relaxed.
He nodded: "I believe it."
He really believed that she was just passing by here.
But after she found herself, this "passing by" might not be so pure.
Even though she was secluded at home, after accepting the invitation of her friends and deciding to participate in the variety show, Zhan Yuan also went online to learn about other guests.
Naturally, he knew how much Yu Keke loved gossip.
What's more, in the past few days of getting along, she also fully demonstrated her character of being eager to join in the fun. She
completely enjoyed the fun and did not mind any trouble.
When Xin Ning and Shi Fei quarreled, everyone wanted to hide far away for fear of getting into trouble.
Only Yu Keke couldn't be dragged away, which made Song Quan and Li Xinrui sigh helplessly, and they had to help cover it up.
Thinking of what happened in the past two days, Zhan Yuan couldn't help but smile a little, and his mood inexplicably became a little better.
Although he has been able to blend in with the guests during these few days of getting along, and the others have no intention of rejecting him,
Zhan Yuan still has the best impression of Yu Keke.
Not only because she was the first to take the initiative to chat with him and show her goodwill.
He actually envied Yu Keke's relaxed and casual nature, seemingly careless but actually at ease.
She was a completely different person from him.
Zhan Yuan: "Did you hear that?"
Seeing that he seemed to be asking casually and didn't seem to care, Yu Keke nodded calmly: "Sorry, I didn't know you were on the phone, and I was a little curious."
Zhan Yuan really didn't mind, and smiled and shook his phone: "That's my daughter, Yinyin."
Yu Keke: "Yinyin is very cute. You two seem to have a good relationship. Teacher Zhan must love her very much, right?"
Zhan Yuan paused, nodded and admitted, and his tone softened: "Yes, she is my baby."
Yu Keke also smiled: "Yinyin also loves you, Teacher Zhan, as a father."
However, when Zhan Yuan heard her say this, he was stunned and fell silent.
He turned his head and looked at the heavy rain again, and his voice suddenly became slow: "Yes, she loves me very much and feels sorry for me. But I can't tell the difference..."
Seeing the trance on his face, Yu Keke didn't say anything.
Zhan Yuan himself reacted and smiled apologetically at her: "Sorry, I said something strange. It's raining harder outside, let's go back."
Yu Keke naturally said she didn't mind.
However, just as Zhan Yuan was about to go back, she suddenly heard her say: "Yinyin seems to be very afraid of her mother. Does Teacher Zhan really think it is necessary to maintain such a family? It really won't cause any impact. Do you think this is good for him?"
Zhan Yuan paused and turned back to look at her in surprise.
He seemed to be puzzled that she would actually speak, and seemed to be confused by her words.
"Since Mr. Zhan is still willing to participate in the variety show, he must love his career and is unwilling to give up." Yu Keke said, "Then if you decide to compromise, wouldn't it be like being voluntarily imprisoned in a cage, and also trapping Yinyin in this deformed family?"
"In the end, it seems that nothing was gained, and it has no meaning."
Yu Keke's tone was light, so light that it almost blended into the sound of rain, but it seemed like a cold arrow piercing Zhan Yuan's heart.
She suddenly smiled: "How is this different from those people in the past who were unwilling to divorce after being abused, insisted on returning to their families, and stubbornly believed that it was good for the children? Teacher Zhan, ask yourself, is it really good for the children?"
Zhan Yuan: "..."
Before he could react to how Yu Keke knew all this, he was hit in the heart by a series of questions that followed. He was stiff but unable to refute.
How could he not have such doubts?
But after countless self-questions, he could not get an answer, and in the end he could only cowardly cover it up again.
As if he understood what Yu Keke was going to say, Zhan Yuan was a little resistant and afraid that she would continue, but he was secretly looking forward to it in his heart.
The two voices kept fighting in his mind, and it was unclear who would win.
However, Yu Keke didn't mean to continue.
Seeing that she was about to turn around and leave, he didn't know why, but he called her impulsively: "Keke... Miss Yu, what do you think I should do?"
Yu Keke paused.
She didn't look back: "Why do I feel that it is not important? This is Teacher Zhan's own business. But you can think about it. If maintaining such a family is really good for the children, why is Yinyin still afraid of her mother and wants you to go back quickly?"
"If Teacher Zhan still can't tell the difference, why don't you reflect on yourself and whether you really understand Yinyin's meaning?"
After leaving the last sentence lightly, Yu Keke really left this time.
With the heavy rain still falling, the temperature outside is getting colder and colder.
Zhan Yuan stood there motionless until he was suddenly drenched by a burst of rain that came with the wind. He shivered as if from the cold, and then he finally came to his senses.
His back was still stiff, and he refused to curl up.
Yinyin's cautious and hopeful voice kept ringing in his mind.
"Mom is so scary..."
"Mom is angry again."
"I miss Dad."
"Can Dad come back earlier?"
Why did Yinyin want him to go home earlier?
- Because she was afraid of being alone with her mother, and was seeking a sense of security from her father.
Yinyin didn't understand why her mother beat her father, she only knew that as long as her mother was not angry, her father would be safe.
She felt sorry for her injured father, so she always advised her father not to make her mother angry, and repeatedly emphasized that being beaten would hurt.
In this environment, Yinyin was naturally afraid of her mother.
Even if her mother didn't beat her, she would still be afraid of her mother who was angry and asked her to pass on messages to her father.
So Yinyin asked Zhan Yuan when he could go home, which was instinctively asking for help from her father.
She hoped that he could go home and accompany her.
Yinyin was not a rope used by her mother to control her father.
They should rely on each other for warmth.
But because of his own psychological problems, Zhan Yuan didn't realize this at all.
Until now.
In this heavy rain, he finally woke up from the nightmare and was completely sober.
————
When Yu Keke went back, he happened to run into Xin Ning and Xiang Chao walking out.
Unlike the harmonious atmosphere of the old couple in front of the camera, the two of them now basically had no communication.
Perhaps because she felt that the camera had been turned off, Xin Ning suddenly stopped and warned: "Don't be too obvious."
Yu Keke's eyes suddenly lit up, and she quietly leaned over: [No way, you actually just show your cards now? ? ]
The system was also ready to move: [Wow, so exciting! ]
Obviously not noticing that there were people around, Xiang Chao's footsteps also stopped.
Although Xin Ning's words were incoherent, he had long suspected that she already knew about his relationship with Shi Fei.
So when he heard her say that, he was not surprised at all, and even smiled nonchalantly: "I thought I was very careful in front of the camera, but you two kept arguing."
Xin Ning's expression remained unchanged: "When we were playing games before, she came to you for help, and you also sided with her, didn't you?"
Xiang Chao: "It's just a game, you don't care so much, right?"
Xin Ning sarcastically said: "Playing a game? Your eye contact is so obvious, if I hadn't covered it up, do you really think it wouldn't be discovered by others?"
Yu Keke recalled the eye contact between Shi Fei and Xiang Chao in the last game of Werewolf, and nodded in agreement.
That was indeed a bit obvious.
The grudge between Xin Ning and "Little Xin Ning" has not gradually disappeared as they have been forced to get along with each other for the past few days, but has become more and more intense.
Today's game was just a fuse.
Although it seemed like a small matter, Xin Ning and Shi Fei were both clearly angry.
In order to stimulate Xin Ning, Shi Fei ignored the camera and used his eyes to hint at Xiang Chao.
Xiang Chao wanted to be calm at first and pretended not to see it.
But seeing that Shi Fei was really angry, he could only return a perfunctory look. In fact, he had long been impatient with the feud between the two.
Xiang Chao said calmly: "You are just unhappy because of Shi Fei's provocation, and now you are taking your anger out on me."
Xin Ning asked back: "If you didn't do it on purpose, how could she be so arrogant?"
"I remember that we agreed that apart from not exposing our true relationship to others, we would not interfere with each other." The smile on Xiang Chao's face finally disappeared, and he warned, "You have crossed the line."
Xin Ning was unhappy to begin with, and when she saw that he didn't take it seriously, she became even more unhappy.
She suppressed her anger and sneered in annoyance: "Do you think I am willing to care about you? This is a live broadcast. Do you think you, the great director Xiang, can still control everything and get away with it by just editing it casually? If anything happens to you, it will only implicate me. I hope you can understand this and don't be confused by Shi Fei."
Xiang Chao: "I am sober. So I did not choose to help her, but just let her calm down, right?"
As the winner of three consecutive rounds, Yu Keke shook her head in disapproval this time: [Even if he helped, the victory can only be mine.]
The system ate melons and did not forget to support the jokes: [That's right, the host is right! "
I covered it up." Xin Ning crossed her arms and emphasized again, "You should let her pay attention to the occasion. I can tolerate her provocation, but once the relationship is exposed, it won't just be me who will be embarrassed."
Xiang Chao rubbed his brows impatiently: "Don't involve me in your affairs. If you are dissatisfied with something, just tell her directly."
Xin Ning was almost laughing at him.
She gritted her teeth and whispered, "Xiang Chao, do you really want to get away with it? Don't forget, I still have the evidence against you. Are you sure you really don't care?"
"You keep pestering me like this, which only makes me think you still care about me." Xiang Chao's tone became cold, "Do you think you are the only one who has the evidence and I don't? I didn't care about your previous lovers."
Xin Ning was really disgusted, and said unwillingly, "It's the same for both of us. You deliberately played with Shi Fei for the sake of excitement, which made me think that you still care about me."
Xiang Chao: "...whatever you think."
Xin Ning rolled her eyes, "Besides, I'm talking about other evidence, especially about Shi Fei. Do you think she only followed you?"
"You mean the guy who's the makeup artist?" Xiang Chao didn't care. "It doesn't matter. I don't care about her love life, and it has nothing to do with me."
Yu Keke gasped: [Wait, does Xiang Chao know that Shi Fei is secretly married?]
The system really doesn't know this, and after thinking for a while, she said: [He should have noticed something, but he's not sure if he's married.]
When she thought about it, it seemed so.
After all, Shi Fei's husband is Shi Fei's assistant and makeup artist, and they get along almost every day. Shi Fei's husband can find out that something is wrong between Shi Fei and Director Xiang, but Xiang Chao won't find out that these two are being naughty?
Xin Ning's face turned cold: "Since you know that Wu Zhuo and Shi Fei are husband and wife, aren't you worried that he will find you and expose your relationship?"
Xiang Chao paused, and his tone suddenly became playful: "Aren't you here?"
Xin Ning's eyes widened suddenly: "You——"
Yu Keke and the system also took a breath at the same time: [Oh my God, Xiang Chao actually knew about this? ? ]
The system reacted and quickly denied: [Impossible, he really didn't know. 】
So when each person was exploring the system, Xiang Chao suddenly smiled: "Sure enough, there is a problem between you and that guy."
Xin Ning also reacted, his face turned pale, gritting his teeth: "You lied to me?"
"Xin Ning, we have been husband and wife for so many years after all, I must know you." He raised his eyebrows, "I don't even remember what the boy's name is. With your personality, you can remember it so clearly, and the tone of your questioning is obviously biased towards him."
Xiang Chao: "Besides, you have Shi Fei's handle, but you can still endure it until now. No matter how you think about it, there is a problem." As
he said this, he sighed with a smile: "Look at you, you are always like this. When you want to favor someone, you can't learn to cover it up. It's hard not to let others find out."
Xin Ning was so angry that she slapped him in the face and left angrily.
Xiang Chao followed behind, looking helpless.
Seeing the end of this good show, Yu Keke couldn't help but sigh: [This couple is really cunning. But Director Xiang is still more skilled and has cheated everything out.]
Now, the couple has revealed their cards. Xiang Chao not only knows about Shi Fei's secret marriage, but also finds out about Xin Ning and Shi Fei's husband Wu Zhuo.
Such a comparison...
Yu Keke: [Xin Ning is really unlucky.]
The system also sighed: [Now both parties know it, right? What a pity.]
[If both parties know...] She touched her chin and suddenly had a whim, [Do you think they will really become a couple swap in the end?]
System: [? ? Shi Fei's husband will not agree, right? 】
Yu Keke boldly guessed: 【Xiang Chao might have this in mind. Once the water is stirred, no one can expose who is who. Is that right? We should be able to see the answer in the evening.】
The system took a breath: 【That's really... more exciting!!】
Everyone and the system were suddenly a little eager to move.
Soon it was evening.
Perhaps because of what happened in the afternoon, the atmosphere among the guests was obviously not very good.
But they still prepared the meal according to the grouping drawn by lot.
Just when everyone finished their meal, with the sound of thunder, the surroundings suddenly darkened.
——The power went out.
Luo Yun screamed immediately and subconsciously grabbed Yuan Li's hand.
Yuan Li also knew that she was afraid of the dark, so he didn't care about other people watching and patted her on the back to comfort her.
Although it was pitch black all around, everyone else had turned on the flashlights in their phones and managed to illuminate the area.
Seeing that Luo Yun had shrunk into Yuan Li's arms, Yu Keke subconsciously took a photo of them.
Although it was blurry and looked a bit like a poster from the underworld, if you looked carefully, you could still tell who the people hugging each other intimately in the photo were.
She thought about it and clicked on Ji Leyun's conversation box.
Looking at the message she had sent to ask questions, which she had not had time to reply to, she sent the photo.
[Yu Keke: So scary, we just had a power outage here]
Author has something to say:
Yu Keke: The number one person who is crazy about fanning the flames (bushi)
