After returning to Jingyang from Ziwei Garden, it was getting dark. Yan Mo had not yet reached home when he saw Si Ze standing at the door waiting anxiously.
When Si Ze saw Yan Mo's car entering the community, he saw it and quickly came over.
As soon as the car entered the courtyard and stopped, Si Ze opened the door for her. When he saw the red and swollen finger marks on Yan Mo's face, he narrowed his eyes gloomily, and a fierce and murderous aura emanated from his whole body.
The Tang family is really bold. They dared to touch his people even though they knew they were his.
Originally, he didn't plan to do anything about what happened last night. After all, it was someone else's family matter, and the Tang family also compensated him truthfully.
Now that others have slapped him in the face, if he doesn't teach him a lesson, he, Si Ze, will really become easy to bully.
"What's wrong?" Yan Mo was surprised to see him staring at him.
Si Ze's expression softened, and he touched her face distressedly and said:
"Does it hurt?"
Yan Mo shook his head, remembering what he had promised his sister Yan Jing. She raised her eyelids and looked at him, saying, "Yan Jing said she would go to Jinzhou for a year and asked me to help take care of Tangtang."
Mom agreed to take care of Tangtang. Dad said that when they were young, they were raised by a special nanny and Aunt Hong. In other words, her mother had almost no experience in taking care of children. Tangtang was at her most mischievous stage now. How could she be at ease?
Judging from his wife's tone, she obviously wanted her to take care of the child herself. How could that be possible? Si Ze felt uncomfortable when he thought that there was a little one in their little nest to share his love.
"What are you going to do?" Si Ze climbed onto the passenger seat and asked tentatively.
"Do you like children?"
Yan Mo was also trying frantically.
Without waiting for Si Ze to answer, Yan Mo continued, "Tangtang is very well behaved. I can clean up that small study room when the time comes. It would be best if Tangtang could live there. I won't disturb you."
Afraid that Si Ze would not agree, Yan Mo racked his brains to find reasons to convince him.
"She can also help you with some small things."
Si Ze had no expression and continued to look at her.
"If you don't like children, I promise not to let her appear in front of you." Yan Mo couldn't see through Si Ze's meaning and promised again.
"Really?" Si Ze said lightly.
Yan Mo nodded softly and lowered her head guiltily. Even she herself didn't believe what she said. The house was so small, and they were under the same roof, so how could they not meet?
As they were talking, the two of them had already gotten out of the car and strolled out of the courtyard.
Si Ze followed behind Yan Mo, still the same, without saying a word.
"You just don't want to." Yan Mo pouted and muttered unhappily, feeling disappointed inside.
Just when she thought Si Ze would never agree, he stepped forward, took her hand, and explained:
"It's not that I don't agree to take care of Tangtang. I'm just thinking that the house in our Harborside community is not big. You have no experience in taking care of children, so you definitely won't be able to do it well. To be on the safe side, we should still hire an auntie. Our current room can't accommodate them."
"There are only two options now. One is that we move rooms, or we can just stay put and rent a room in the same neighborhood near the harbor. We can let Auntie and Tangtang live there, and we can look after them during the day. It will also be convenient for you to take Tangtang to sleep with you if you want."
"It seems what you said makes sense." Yan Mo agreed.
Moving, where to move? It was obvious that it was Si Ze's house. Not to mention the hardship of moving, Yan Mo still wanted to stay in his own house compared to living in Si Ze's house.
As the saying goes, no place is better than home.
She preferred to rent a house in the community, and she told Si Ze the truth.
"Okay, then I'll get to it." Si Ze curled the corners of his mouth, secretly delighted in his heart. It was expected that the little girl would choose to rent a house. This was also the result he most hoped for. Not only could she take good care of her sister and children, but she could also live with him in her own world. It was like having one's paw in one's heart.
"Okay." Yan Mo agreed. She had no objection, but she still reminded him, "It's the end of the year now. You should take care of your own business first. Xiao Jing won't go until after the New Year, so there's no need to rush."
"I know." Si Ze waved his hand.
Chatting is the most cheerful thing. Before they knew it, Yan Mo and Si Ze had walked a long way. It was not known whether Si Ze did it on purpose or unintentionally, but the route they took happened to be heading towards the harbor.
Yan Mo only realized it when he reached the river after walking until his toes were sore.
"How did we get here?" Yan Mo was surprised. He looked at the harbor in the middle and lower reaches, then turned back to look at the Jingyang District. He stopped and sat down on a public bench nearby. He slowly stretched out his two straight legs and pounded.
Seeing this, Si Ze turned around, walked up to her, bent down, took off her little white shoes, and massaged them.
"Haha, be gentle..."
Yan Mo dodged, mainly because she felt sour, numb and itchy. The feeling was very sour and refreshing, which really made her feel uncomfortable.
"How about this?" Si Ze clamped her feet with his legs, securing them so that she couldn't move, while at the same time reducing the force a little.
"Don't press the soles of my feet." Yan Mo twitched his feet uncontrollably, and even his five toes were twitching uncontrollably.
…
A long time passed.
Si Zecai let her go. Although the process was very painful, after the massage, her feet felt much more relaxed when she stood up, and she hardly felt tired.
However, she refused to walk such a long distance again.
"What should we do now?" Yan Mo pointed at Jingyang Community, then at the harbor, and asked, "Both sides are equally far. Which side should we go back to?"
Yan Mo was conflicted. She went back to Jingyang Community and slept with her sister again at night. She was a little reluctant because she and Si Ze had disturbed her sister last night. All day long, she had heard her yawn countless times and her panda eyes, the national treasure symbol.
But if she went back to her room and slept with Si Ze, she couldn't even think about it. Her father would probably chase her and beat her up.
Si Ze smiled and hinted, "Looking from here, the harbor seems closer."
If you ask him to answer, he naturally wants to return to their own world of two people. Young people don’t like living with their parents. It is inconvenient to do anything. This is Si Ze’s deepest feeling about last night.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought her here. No matter whether there is hope or not, he has to give it a try. What if it succeeds?
However, he would not say it directly, as that would make it seem like he wanted to do something to her. Although he actually wanted to do something, he couldn't scare the little girl, so he had to take it step by step.
"Really?" Yan Mo estimated the distance between the two sides. The preconceived notion seemed to always work for people in China. After Si Ze said this, it seemed that the harbor side was closer.
"Then let's go back to the harbor?" Yan Mo asked tentatively.
"Okay, Mo Mo, let's go back to wherever you say." Si Ze answered immediately with a smile, which made Yan Mo look at him suspiciously. Could it be that he brought him here on purpose?
