Chapter 104
When the car arrived at the residence, Jiaojiao was still sleeping. Li Yubai did not wake him up. After thanking Lu Jie who was driving, he carefully got out of the car with Jiaojiao in his arms.
Jun Che, who was sitting in the passenger seat, leaned out of the car window, looking at Jiaojiao in Li Yubai's arms with reluctance, and whispered, "Uncle Li, please bring Jiaojiao to my house when you have time!"
Li Yubai paused, looked at Jiaojiao who was sleeping in his arms and said, "If Jiaojiao wants to come, I will bring him."
After getting off the bus, I walked forward for about five minutes before reaching my residence.
Li Yubai's current residence is on the third floor of a residential complex on Baiguo Street. He carried Jiaojiao upstairs, opened the door with one hand, changed his shoes, and then carried Jiaojiao to the bedroom.
After entering the room, Li Yubai carefully placed Jiaojiao on the bed, fearing that he would fall to the floor while sleeping. He also folded the quilt into a long strip and surrounded Jiaojiao in the middle. After doing all this, he picked up his pajamas and stopped when he turned to leave the room.
After thinking for a while, Li Yubai turned around and picked up Jiaojiao from the bed. He took out another set of bedding from the closet, put it on the ground and put Jiaojiao on it. Only then did he feel relieved and turned to go to the bathroom to wash up.
In the bathroom, rising mist covered the frosted glass with layers of fog. Li Yubai stood under the shower, his hair pulled back, his sharp features on full display. He squinted his eyes, listening to the rustling sound outside. He turned his head to look at the high window and realized that it had started raining outside.
He leaned sideways on the cool tiles, the hot water flowing down the well-proportioned muscles between his arms. This was clearly a scene no different from his usual bathing, but because he thought of the small, soft ball sleeping in the room, a rare sense of comfort and relaxation spread in his heart.
Li Yubai chuckled with his eyes downcast, and the sharpness between his brows was diluted by the softness in his eyes. He quickly finished his shower, turned off the shower, casually put on a bathrobe, and walked out while wiping his hair.
When Li Yubai walked out of the bathroom and returned to the room, Jiaojiao had already woken up. She was sitting in the quilt, staring blankly at everything unfamiliar in front of her with her big dark eyes.
Jiaojiao blinked a little late when she heard the noise. When she turned her head and saw it was her father, she immediately stood up with her butt sticking out, and reached out for a hug with a smile on her face: "Daddy."
Li Yubai strode forward, bent down and picked him up: "Why did you wake up?"
Jiaojiao lowered her head and pointed at her stomach, then looked up at her father and said, "My stomach is rumbling, and then Jiaojiao wakes up."
"Are you hungry?" Li Yubai raised his eyebrows slightly. He touched Jiaojiao's stomach and found that it was indeed flatter than usual. He changed his clothes that were covered with moss and dust and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"Rou Rou." Jiaojiao cooperated by raising her little hands to let her father take off her clothes.
Meat?
After changing Jiaojiao's clothes, Li Yubai carried him out of the room, came to the living room and put him on the sofa. He poured out the milk that he had prepared for Jiaojiao at the welfare home, which had now become cold, and made a new bottle of milk at the right temperature and handed it to Jiaojiao.
"Thank you, Daddy." Jiaojiao said crisply after taking the bottle.
"You're welcome." Li Yubai rubbed his hair and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
Jiaojiao sat on the sofa, drinking from her bottle, wiggling her little feet contentedly. Li Yubai went into the kitchen to cook, but after opening the refrigerator, he remembered that they were out of food. He had only eaten instant noodles at home before, and he couldn't let the child eat instant noodles! He had also promised Jiaojiao to eat meat.
After closing the empty refrigerator, Li Yubai opened the window and looked at the rain outside.
The rain is so heavy that it seems impossible to take Jiaojiao out to eat.
Thinking of this, Li Yubai walked out of the kitchen, told Jiaojiao to stay at home well, opened the door and went out, intending to buy some vegetables from the neighbor downstairs.
The neighbors downstairs are an elderly couple, both of whom are teachers. They are usually very friendly to others, so Li Yubai did not disguise himself when he went down. First, if you knock on the door with a hat and mask at this time, people might think you are a bad person. Second, the elderly couple may not know him, a small-time celebrity with a lot of negative news.
The old man who opened the door after hearing the knock heard Li Yubai say that he had no vegetables at home and it was difficult to go out because of the heavy rain, so he planned to buy some vegetables from him. He immediately turned around and took out a lot of vegetables and meat from his refrigerator.
Li Yubai wanted to pay, but the old man kept refusing, but in the end Li Yubai paid the money. The old man who received the money was wondering why there was such a difficult young man.
After successfully buying some rice, eggs, meat and vegetables from the old couple, Li Yubai turned around and went upstairs back home.
Jiaojiao, who was sitting on the sofa drinking milk obediently, saw her father coming back and shouted happily, "Dad!"
"Yeah." Li Yubai responded, carried the dishes into the kitchen and started cooking dinner. While cooking, he would look up from time to time at Jiaojiao who was sitting on the sofa.
Whenever Li Yubai saw the little figure sitting on the sofa and drinking milk obediently, a soft feeling would inexplicably arise in his heart.
The heart that had been empty for more than twenty years seemed to be being stuffed into it bit by bit by some invisible existence, in an attempt to fill it up.
Jiaojiao, who was sitting on the sofa drinking milk, looked at the bottle in her hand, lowered her head, puffed up her cheeks and took another big sip, then clamped the bottle between her knees, held the bottle cap with both hands and twisted it hard to one side.
Jiaojiao, whose little paws were twisted until they hurt but still couldn't twist them free, tilted her head in confusion, swallowed the milk in her mouth, then turned around and slid down on the sofa.
After struggling to get down from the sofa, he ran into the kitchen with his short legs, raised his fair little face, and handed over the bottle in his hand: "Daddy, open it."
Hearing this, Li Yubai bent down to take it, and twisted it open with a light twist.
He handed the bottle to Jiaojiao: "Why open it?"
"Give it to daddy." Jiaojiao said, pushing her father's hand.
Li Yubai calmly withdrew his hand, tilted his head back and drank the remaining milk in the bottle.
Seeing his father's bright eyes, he cupped his hands into a cup shape, imitated his father, tilted his head back and made a drinking motion, then clapped his hands with a smile and said happily, "Daddy snores and it's gone, that's awesome."
Li Yubai, who was praised for drinking milk, couldn't find the right words to describe his feelings at the moment.
This speechless and slightly funny feeling was an absolutely strange and novel experience for him.
He bent down and picked up the cheerful Jiaojiao, and couldn't help but poke his soft little face.
The kitchen was filled with knives and a host of other dangerous items, making it unsuitable for children. Li Yubai carried Jiaojiao out of the kitchen and searched around, unable to find any toys suitable for children to pass the time. He suddenly realized that he should buy some toys for Jiaojiao.
He placed Jiaojiao in his arms on the sofa, told her to wait obediently, and then he turned and went into the kitchen.
Li Yubai has always been a fast cook, and he served two dishes and a soup in no time.
There was no stool suitable for children to sit on at home, so Li Yubai simply held Jiaojiao in his arms and fed her.
Jiaojiao was as supportive as ever, and her satisfied look while eating made the person who was cooking feel extremely accomplished.
After dinner and a short rest, Li Yubai went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Jiaojiao, who was leaning against the door, asked expectantly if he needed help, but was ruthlessly rejected by Li Yubai.
Jiaojiao, feeling a little lost, squatted at the door, holding her little face and waiting for her father.
Li Yubai came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes. Seeing the pitiful little thing squatting at the door, he couldn't help but kick the little thing's butt with his foot. With a rare smile in his tone, he said, "Whose child is this?"
Jiaojiao hugged her father's feet with her backhand, opened her big, dark, bright eyes, and said crisply, "Dad's house."
Li Yubai chuckled, bent down to pick him up, and walked into the bathroom to give the little guy who crawled through the dog hole today a bath.
After taking a bath, her skin is as white and tender as a freshly peeled egg.
Li Yubai put on him a pair of warm yellow pajamas printed with little ducks, which immediately made him look two levels more adorable.
After drying Jiaojiao's hair, he carried Jiaojiao back to the room and put her on the bed. Then he took the quilt cover off the floor, took it into the bathroom and put it in the dryer.
When he came back from the bathroom, he saw Jiaojiao with her head against the bed, kicking her short legs hard, trying to roll over but unable to.
Li Yubai suppressed the upturned corners of his lips, walked forward, lifted the quilt, and lay down on the bed.
Jiaojiao rolled over with great effort, and when she saw her father getting ready to go to bed, she came over automatically with her hair messed up by static electricity, snuggled into her father's arms, rubbed her father's face with her head raised, yawned loudly, and closed her eyes to get ready for sleep.
Seeing this, Li Yubai reached out to turn off the light, listening to the gradually even breathing in his arms, and gradually felt sleepy. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
They fell asleep, but the dean, who was looking for Jiaojiao in the alley under an umbrella in the rain, couldn't sleep. Finally, he learned from the police that Jiaojiao had been found and taken away by Li Yubai a long time ago.
The director of the welfare home, who was soaked all over, said: "..."
This guy surnamed Li definitely didn’t tell him on purpose!
Absolutely!
The night passed quickly and a new day came.
Li Yubai woke up from his sleep and thought it was still dark when he heard the sound of rain outside. When he opened his eyes, he found that it was not dark, but the rain that had started last night had not stopped yet.
The rain was drizzling outside the window. He looked down at the tiny ball in his arms, listening to the occasional sound of cars and rain outside, and felt a soft and comfortable feeling in his heart.
Jiaojiao woke up not long after Li Yubai woke up. Before she even opened her eyes, she buried her head in her father's arms. After she felt comfortable, she drowsily opened her eyes, looked at her father, and called out vaguely, "Dad."
Li Yubai held down the ahoge on his head that was rubbed by him, picked up Jiaojiao and got out of bed, washed and woke up, then started to make breakfast.
After breakfast, the rain still didn't stop, so Li Yubai's plan to take Jiaojiao out to buy some daily necessities and toys had to be shelved.
Li Yubai walked around the room holding Jiaojiao and found that there was nothing to do except sitting and daydreaming. So he thought for a moment and carried Jiaojiao to the study.
The apartment that Li Yubai lives in now has two bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom and a kitchen. He converted one of the bedrooms into a study, which is filled with many books teaching performance and singing, as well as a wide variety of musical instruments and books teaching musical instrument techniques.
He bought these books after entering the entertainment industry.
Although he is indeed the most educated person in the entertainment industry, when it comes to acting and singing, he is very self-aware as a latecomer.
So in addition to studying with the performance and music teachers in the company, he also studies on his own at home.
People in the entertainment industry are quite concerned about this former rich young man who fell from grace and entered the entertainment industry. The attention he receives is no less than that of popular stars and idols.
What's more, many people who like to watch the bright moon fall to the ground can't wait to see his joke.
Unfortunately, Li Yubai, who had just entered the entertainment industry, did not live up to their expectations and made a fool of himself.
On the contrary, in that short year, Li Yu showed them his unquestionable strong learning ability. In just one year, he mastered the acting and singing skills to an extremely excellent level, and also mastered many musical instruments very skillfully. The only thing worth criticizing was that he had skills but no emotion.
You can clearly see the splendor of his technique, but you can't empathize with it because whether he's acting, playing a musical instrument, or singing, he doesn't put any emotion into it.
But even without emotions, he can still crush all the popular young actors with his gorgeous and superb skills. He can even perfectly control every muscle on his face, and his handling of micro-expressions and body movements are not inferior to those of veteran actors, but the only thing he lacks is emotions.
Many netizens and bloggers have analyzed this phenomenon of his for a long time, but in the end, they didn't come up with anything. You might say he's not serious, but he's a latecomer who has mastered all kinds of techniques to perfection. In fact, his purely technical performances often make the audience cry and feel sad.
You say he is very dedicated, but as soon as he faces off with veteran actors, you can clearly feel the incongruity of him not showing any emotion at all.
Logically speaking, when ordinary people act, it's either 70% skill and 30% emotion, or 70% emotion and 30% skill. Of course, the best is to have a balance of emotion and skill, which can resonate most with people.
But Li Yubai's acting skills, which are perfect but with zero emotion, is a unique peculiarity in the entertainment industry.
The online comments about him flashed through his mind. Li Yubai carried Jiaojiao to the piano by the study window, opened the piano lid, sat in front of the piano, played a short piece of music fluently with one hand, and then looked down at Jiaojiao in his arms.
Jiaojiao was curious about the thing in front of her that could make nice sounds. She looked up at her father and said, "Dad, can I touch it?"
Li Yubai nodded: "Okay."
After getting the consent, Jiaojiao carefully stretched out her little finger and poked it. A low and pleasant "dong" sound was heard. Jiaojiao pursed her lips and looked up at her father happily.
Meeting his bright gaze, Li Yubai chuckled, reached out and held his little paw, and guided him to poke the piano keys one by one.
A series of unrhythmic and scattered ding-dong sounds rang out from the room filled with various books and musical instruments, occasionally accompanied by the childish laughter of children.
While the two, one big and one small, were playing the piano in a disorderly manner, Lu Jie, whose mind was not very clear after sleeping for two years, was supervising the workers to cast a golden statue in a proportional scale.
Let’s cast the golden statue first, and whether to worship it or not is another matter!
Lu Jie, with a handsome and noble face, was thinking seriously.
At this time, Jun Zhengyu, who was studying at school, encountered the most socially devastating moment in his life. In front of everyone, in front of the entire class, two large banners with his name embroidered on them were presented to him with great fanfare.
Standing on the podium, Jun Zhengyu, holding two banners, closed his eyes and looked dead.
These two banners, one from the police station and one from Ms. Chen Xiaoxiao.
One is the heroic spirit of standing up for what is right, and the other is the virtue of benevolence that spreads throughout the world!
One is that the young man showed his heroic spirit, and his life-saving grace was as heavy as a mountain!
Just these two banners spread throughout the entire experimental high school department in just one morning, and there were even signs that they were spreading to the middle school department. Jun Zhengyu from Class 1, Grade 3 was like a monkey in a zoo for a while, with people from various classes rushing to watch him in the rain. Jun Zhengyu almost lost his temper and his brows kept twitching.
Time passed quickly, and when the rain stopped completely, it was already afternoon. Li Yubai put on hats and masks for himself and Jiaojiao, then carried Jiaojiao out.
A warm and daily transition chapter. If you say I am weak, I won’t admit it~
