Chapter 76 I think...
[Meow? Why won't you let Sui Sui in?]
Curious, Zhong Suisui jumped off Lin Yan'an's back and squatted next to Zhong Wan's head. She looked at Zhong Wan curiously, then at Lin Yan'an, and asked with great confusion, "Are Mommy and Daddy playing Jenga?"
Why didn't you invite Sui Sui to play with you?
Its little voice was full of doubt and anticipation: "SuiSui wants to play with Mommy and Daddy too!"
Lin Yan'an: "..."
Zhong Wan blushed slightly, suppressing her laughter and shyness as she hurriedly pushed Lin Yan'an away and turned to Zhong Suisui to explain, "Mom and Dad didn't play games."
"It's just that your dad is too lazy, he wants to..."
Zhong Wan glanced around out of the corner of her eye and quickly added, "I want to play on my phone!"
"Yes, your dad wanted to play on his phone, but it was over there, and he didn't want to leave, so he climbed over Mom's body!"
After Zhong Wan finished speaking, she nodded repeatedly, as if to indicate that she was right!
Lin Yan'an rubbed his forehead, bent his legs on the bed, glanced at Zhong Wan's phone on the bedside table, and picked it up with a helpless smile.
"Yes, your mother is right."
【oh……】
Zhong Suisui flicked her tail in confusion, looking at Zhong Wan's slightly flushed cheeks, then at Lin Yan'an who had already turned on his phone.
Okay, then Sui Sui should go out and play with Anian and Agui.
Zhong Suisui meowed and quickly disappeared from the room.
Looking at the tightly closed door, and then at the direction where Zhong Suisui disappeared,
Zhong Wan sighed helplessly and collapsed onto the bed.
Its interruption instantly dispelled the ambiguous atmosphere, leaving only a slight awkwardness.
Zhong Wan covered her face with her hands, trying to ignore the flutter in her heart that had just occurred to her.
Seeing this, Lin Yan'an couldn't help but chuckle softly.
He put down his phone and turned to look.
Seeing her burying her head in the sand, I smiled, reached out and pulled her small hand away, and said in a slightly hoarse voice:
"It seems that we need to teach Sui Sui before we have children."
"Um?"
“Teach it what it means to look away from what is improper.”
His eyes were gentle and doting.
When Zhong Wan was stared at, she felt her heart skip a beat.
She couldn't help but playfully punch his chest: "It's all your fault."
"Yes, it's my fault."
Lin Yan'an's eyes were full of smiles. He reached out and intertwined his fingers with hers. Looking at the ring on her finger, he was silent for a moment, then said in a slightly unsteady voice, "Zhong Wan."
"Um?"
"Just now... you asked me... if I would like our child."
"Hmm, do you?"
Lin Yan'an's gaze fell on the ring, staring at it blankly for a moment before lowering his eyes to look at Zhong Wan's gentle face, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Yes."
His gaze was solemn and expectant, with a hint of fear mixed in.
"I will really, really like it."
"As long as you're here."
Zhong Wan's heart melted instantly. She reached out and wrapped her arms around Lin Yan'an's slender waist, resting her chin on his chest.
Lin Yan'an adjusted his position, comfortably holding her in his arms, and whispered, "Because... I know what it feels like to be forgotten and abandoned."
His voice was calm, but his words struck Zhong Wan's heart, causing her immense heartache.
“My father… died in the line of duty when I was very young, following in my grandfather’s footsteps.”
“My mother…remarried less than two months after his death, taking my sister with her,”
"She said I was the hope of my father's family, a boy... and also a burden to her after she remarried..."
"The man's family said they could accept the older sister, but not me, a boy..."
“From then on, I depended on my grandmother for support. She passed away when I was in the first year of junior high school. Before she passed away, she tried to contact my mother, but it seems there was no result.”
"Then she contacted Grandpa Zhou again. From the first day of the Lunar New Year onwards, I lived with Grandpa Zhou until now."
“Grandpa Zhou was my grandfather’s comrade-in-arms. He never married and I will take care of him in his old age.”
"Zhong Wan, when Xingyu starts school, will you come to Kyoto with me?"
"I want to... take you to see Grandpa Zhou."
"good!"
Zhong Wan nodded heavily; she hadn't expected Lin Yan'an's background to be like this...
My heart clenched instantly, as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
Her eyes were red and swollen. She hugged him tightly, buried her face in the crook of his neck, and said in a muffled voice, "I'll still be here, as will Sui Sui, and we'll have our children too."
“Lin Yan’an, my family is also your family. We will take care of Grandpa Zhou together.”
Her grip was very strong, so strong that he vaguely felt it was a little too tight.
But Lin Yan'an couldn't help but hold her tightly in his arms.
He rested his chin on her head, listening to her muffled voice and feeling the warmth on her neck.
Lin Yan'an took a deep breath, inhaling her familiar scent.
He closed his eyes and responded softly.
"Um."
The room fell silent again, but the awkwardness from before was gone.
Even though they hadn't done anything inappropriate, their hearts were closer than before.
Old houses don't have very good sound insulation.
At least, Ah Nian, being a ghost, overheard some of their conversation.
"...forgotten, abandoned..."
"...she remarried, taking her older sister with her..."
"...It's a boy...he's a burden..."
Ah Nian clearly grasped every word and phrase; it was such a familiar experience...
My father died early, my mother remarried, and I still live with my grandmother...
Ah Nian forced a stiff smile, a sarcastic one.
But he seems to be much luckier...
"Oh……"
Ah Nian sneered coldly, her eyes filled with deep sorrow and self-mockery.
He clenched his fists, looked down at his feet, at the asphalt slowly spreading from his toes, and closed his eyes.
They vanished from the spot in an instant.
Zhong Suisui stared at her with her big, watery eyes, looking on curiously.
After seeing him disappear, she sat up straight instantly, her ears twitching slightly. The next second, she turned her head to look at the corner on her right.
Looking at the blurry, inhuman black shadow, it slightly tilted its head. [Meow?]
【Ah Gui is here.】
Ah Gui, carrying a large broom, approached, his body strangely bent at a 90-degree angle, his large, tearful head pressed against the ground as he looked at Zhong Suisui.
Seeing this, Zhong Suisui rolled her eyes speechlessly and lashed out with her tail without hesitation. [Suisui didn't call you.]
【oh. 】
Zhong Suisui lowered its body, its fluffy little bottom sticking up high. After comfortably settling down, it opened its mouth and let out a big yawn. [Suisui is sleepy, goodnight meow~]
【Good evening. 】
Watching Zhong Suisui nimbly jump onto the small bed and lie down, Agui eagerly moved closer.
He stretched out his two matchstick-like hands, picked up the blanket, and covered it with it.
Then, turning her head to look at the dark patch of ground in the corner, she got up, grabbed a broom, and floated over there.
