The door was pushed open, and she quickly got into bed and covered her body with the quilt.
Zhao Lihan walked in, came to the bed and said with a smile, "You're awake."
Wang Xiaolan looked at him blankly and forced a smile.
She asked in a low voice, "You, have you seen my underwear?" After that, her face turned red.
Zhao Lihan looked at her shy appearance and liked it very much. He knew what she wanted to ask.
Pretending not to understand, he reached out and patted her shoulder, teasingly saying, "Look, aren't you wearing it now?"
"That's not what I'm talking about, it's, it's..."
Wang Xiaolan covered her face shyly and said, "Oh! I won't tell you anymore. Go out and I'll find it myself."
"You are my wife, I can't just ignore you."
"I can't get up while you're here."
"Oh, I get it. Okay, I won't tease you anymore."
After that, Zhao Lihan took out a new pair of underwear from the closet and gave it to her, saying, "The previous pair is already dirty. I just washed it. You can wear this one!"
Wang Xiaolan asked in astonishment, "What? You washed it? Isn't it said that it would be unlucky for a man to wash a woman's underwear?"
"You still say you are from the 21st century, but you actually believe in these superstitions. Husband, what's the big deal about washing your wife's underwear? It's not just you who made it dirty, I also had a share."
Wang Xiaolan was moved by his words and a happy smile appeared on her face. She was glad that she had found a good husband.
She was in a hurry, either putting her clothes on backwards or buttoning them incorrectly. Zhao Lihan, who was standing by, found her flustered look very cute.
"Wife, don't be anxious, take your time. The children have finished breakfast, and those who went to school have already left. I have already sent the two children to the second master's house." Zhao Lihan said with a radiant face and a smile.
"It's already this late, why didn't you call me? You made me late." Wang Xiaolan glanced at him and said reproachfully.
"I saw you were too tired last night, so I asked for leave for you."
"It's because of you." Wang Xiaolan pretended to be angry.
Zhao Lihan held Wang Xiaolan in his arms, held her face with both hands, looked at her for a long time, then lowered his head, kissed her forehead, and said gently: "Okay, don't be angry, it's all my fault."
Wang Xiaolan broke free from his arms and said, "Okay, I'm wrong too."
Zhao Lihan squatted down in front of Wang Xiaolan. Wang Xiaolan asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
"I'll carry you downstairs."
Wang Xiaolan chuckled and said, "Who do you take me for?"
"You are my baby, I can't let you touch me. Come on! Let me carry you on my back just once."
"Don't be like this, there's Xia Wei at home."
"Xia Wei, he went to school with Zhaodi."
"Shouldn't I tell him to rest at home? I promised him that I would talk to his homeroom teacher and tell him not to let his classmates bully him because of this incident."
"I don't know about that."
"Forget it, it seems the kid has come to terms with it."
Zhao Lihan carried Wang Xiaolan to the restaurant. He brought the hot food in the pot to the table and asked Wang Xiaolan to eat. He sat beside her, constantly putting food into her bowl and feeding her from time to time.
"Well, if I keep eating like this, I'll become a fat man. That would be strange."
"I like you to be fat. I feel comfortable when you are fat." As he said this, a weird smile appeared on his face.
Wang Xiaolan deliberately rolled her eyes at him.
"Your smile reminds me of what happened last night."
"From now on, I will be happy to have my wife's caress every night."
"Shame on you! When did you become so smooth-talking?"
"Do you even need to ask that?"
"Ask me, are you sure?"
"Without you, I wouldn't be this happy."
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a dog barking outside the house.
Since Wang Xiaolan moved into her new home, she has kept a big yellow dog. Its name is Dahuang. The dog is used to guard the house and also to notify anyone who comes.
Zhao Lihan immediately opened the door to the living room and walked out.
A public security officer stood outside the yard: "Are you Zhao Lihan?"
"Yes, what can I do for you?"
"Zhao Sihai, you two know each other, right?"
When Zhao Lihan heard the name Zhao Sihai, he felt very unhappy and embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
At this time, Wang Xiaolan came out of the room and said, "It's my adoptive father. What's the matter?"
"His detention period is up, go and complete the paperwork to take him back!"
Wang Xiaolan was confused and turned to look at Zhao Lihan, only to see that his face was ashen and he was obviously unwilling to pick up Zhao Sihai.
"Comrade Public Security, you must be mistaken! Isn't there someone at his home? Why would he ask us to pick him up? This shouldn't be the case!" Wang Xiaolan said.
"Are you Zhao Lihan?"
Zhao Lihan nodded: "Yes."
"Yes, it's you. He asked you to pick him up. Let's go!"
As Wang Xiaolan walked out, she murmured to herself: "This old man, raising a child for someone else, finally found someone to guarantee it, and only thought of us, it's speechless."
Wang Xiaolan and Zhao Lihan came to the detention center, signed, completed the formalities, and paid for their meals for the next few days.
At this time, the public security personnel brought Zhao Sihai out. When he saw Zhao Lihan and Wang Xiaolan, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Zhao Sihai had aged noticeably after several days of detention. When he saw Zhao Lihan, he was still very excited and opened his mouth, wanting to speak.
When he saw that Zhao Lihan didn't even look at him, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
He knew very well that there was no one in his family who could support him, and at the critical moment, only Zhao Lihan was worthy of his speaking in front of the police.
At this moment, the words spoken by the public security comrades in the detention center emerged in his mind.
"Luckily, Huang Jinhua's ear was reattached by the doctor from your brigade. Otherwise, we would have charged you with attempted murder. We can only treat this as a family dispute. You must work on your temper when you get home, or you won't be so lucky next time."
They came out of the detention center, walked for a while in silence, and saw Captain Xiao coming towards them.
Zhao Lihan took the lead and quickly stepped forward, greeted Captain Xiao, said a few words, and then took Wang Xiaolan away.
Zhao Sihai was left alone on the side. He looked at their backs as they left with a complicated expression on his face.
Captain Xiao came up to him and said, "Uncle Sihai, let's go! I'll take you home."
…
Not long after Wang Xiaolan and her husband returned from the detention center, they heard a dog barking outside the door.
Zhao Lihan immediately opened the door to the living room and saw Zhao Sihai standing outside.
The big yellow dog started barking at him.
Zhao Lihan didn't say anything, turned around and walked into the house.
When Zhao Sihai saw that he ignored him, he immediately became anxious and said quickly: "I know you don't want to see me. I am not qualified to be your father. Haven't you always wanted to know about your mother?"
