In Lin Yao's apartment, Lin Duanzheng stood at the door, listening carefully to the movements outside.
But there was no sound outside the door, and the boy named Fang Xiaole seemed to have left.
"Humph, you back down when you encounter a little difficulty. You're really unreliable!"
Lin Duanzheng snorted coldly, walked back to the living room and sat down on the sofa.
He originally thought that Fang Xiaole would argue with him for a few more words and try to get him to open the door, but he didn't expect that after being scolded, this guy left.
If he really likes Lin Yao, would he give up so easily?
Sure enough, this is an irresponsible man!
This man was just attracted by his daughter's beauty and was not really willing to take responsibility for her, so he ran away first once he encountered some difficulties.
Lin Duanzheng felt that he had done nothing wrong. Lin Yao was still too young and had no ability to discern. If he had not arrived in Kyoto in time, she would probably have been deceived by the boy's sweet words.
Lin Duanzheng increasingly felt that the entertainment industry was a place full of filth and corruption, and he became more determined to bring Lin Yao home.
Bang bang bang!
There was a knock on the bedroom door, and Lin Yao shouted from inside:
"Dad, was there someone here just now? Was it Fang Xiaole?"
Lin Duanzheng's voice just now was very loud, and Lin Yao also heard it in the bedroom.
"Lin Yao, I've booked a flight for tomorrow. We'll be home tomorrow night. You should get some rest now."
Lin Duanzheng walked to the bedroom door and said to Lin Yao.
"Dad, please let Fang Xiaole in. You'll know what kind of person he is after you talk to him. Really, please!"
Lin Yao shouted loudly in the bedroom.
"Lin Yao!"
Lin Duanzheng said sternly, "I shouldn't have let you come to Kyoto in the first place. I was wrong then, but it's not too late to correct this mistake now!"
After a pause, Lin Duanzheng's voice softened slightly, "You have to believe Dad, everything I do is for your own good!"
"Dad, I don't want to leave Kyoto..."
"Okay, take a break."
Lin Yao wanted to say something, but Lin Duanzheng interrupted her and turned back to the living room to sit down.
Even though he was the only one in the living room, Lin Duanzheng still sat straight, without even the slightest bend in his body, as if he were a rigid machine.
A few hours later, the sun set outside the window and evening arrived.
The light in the living room gradually dimmed. Lin Duanzheng stood up, turned on the light, and was about to sit back down when his stomach suddenly growled.
Lin Duanzheng walked to the bedroom door and asked, "Lin Yao, are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry." Lin Yao's voice sounded.
Lin Duanzheng asked again: "Do you have any ingredients at home? Dad will make you your favorite shrimp tofu."
Lin Yao didn't answer.
Lin Duanzheng shook his head, knowing that his daughter was angry, and said nothing more, turning and walking towards the kitchen.
Ever since Lin Yao's grandmother passed away and her mother left, Lin Duanzheng has been dependent on his daughter. As a professor in the medical school, he is usually old-fashioned and dignified, but he was forced to learn how to cook and do housework.
After get off work every day, she cooks, washes dishes, does laundry, and explains the day's homework to Lin Yao. She gets up early the next morning to prepare breakfast and send Lin Yao to school.
Lin Duanzheng devoted all his efforts to Lin Yao, taking good care of his daughter and being strict with her.
Lin Yao was also very well-behaved. She achieved every goal her father set for her perfectly. She was an obedient and sensible daughter at home and a diligent and hardworking student at school.
The father and daughter depended on each other for nearly ten years, until Lin Yao was eighteen years old and made the most important decision of her life for the first time without telling Lin Duanzheng.
She secretly changed her major and went to the distant Kyoto to study at the Conservatory of Music, but went against her father's wish that she go to medical school and follow in his footsteps.
The night before Lin Yao left home, Lin Duanzheng threw Lin Yao's luggage into a river outside Yancheng.
The next day, Lin Yao used her saved pocket money to buy some simple changes of clothes and a backpack, and quietly boarded the train to Kyoto.
Before leaving, she didn't dare to say goodbye to Lin Duanzheng in person. She just went to the breakfast stall at the door of her house and bought a tray of her father's favorite dumplings and quietly placed it on the dining table.
After this cold farewell without a farewell, the relationship between Lin Yao and her father became somewhat strained.
Especially after Lin Yao graduated from university, signed a contract with Tianhai Company and became a singer, Lin Duanzheng became furious and demanded that Lin Yao go home immediately, otherwise he would sever the father-daughter relationship with her.
This time, the usually well-behaved Lin Yao chose to stick to her own wishes.
Since then, the relationship between father and daughter has reached a freezing point, and Lin Yao did not go home for the Spring Festival for two consecutive years.
It’s not that Lin Yao doesn’t want to go home, but she doesn’t know how to face her father. The same goes for Lin Duanzheng. Even after receiving his daughter’s blessing message on New Year’s Eve, he didn’t say a word in reply.
While thousands of families were reuniting, the father and daughter were thousands of miles apart, spending their days alone and stubbornly.
Even so, Lin Duanzheng still remembered the dishes that Lin Yao loved to eat when she was a child, such as shrimp and tofu, carp in vinegar, etc. At this time, he opened the refrigerator to look for ingredients.
But there was nothing in the refrigerator.
When Lin Yao entertained Hong Sanshi and his wife last night, she used up all the ingredients she bought. Because of her good cooking skills, Hong Sanshi and Zhao Yue ate a lot and finished all the dishes.
Lin Yao is usually busy with work and usually eats out or orders takeout, so she doesn't have the habit of storing food in the refrigerator.
"What a life!"
Seeing that there was nothing in the refrigerator, Lin Duanzheng couldn't help but snort coldly, and then his stomach growled twice.
He felt a little embarrassed and wanted to go out to sell some food, but he was afraid that Lin Yao would sneak out after he left.
For a moment, the majestic and handsome Professor Lin stood in the kitchen, feeling a little embarrassed.
Boom boom boom.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Lin Duanzheng, who was already somewhat annoyed, suddenly became furious. He stomped out of the kitchen, came to the door, and shouted outside:
"I told you I won't let you in. If you don't leave, I'll be rude to you!"
A moment later, Fang Xiaole's voice sounded outside the door:
"Uncle Lin, are you and Lin Yao hungry? I bought some food and left it at the door. I'll leave right away. Remember to come out and get it later."
Lin Duanzheng said angrily, "Don't think you can change my mind about you by playing such a trick. I, Lin Duanzheng, would rather starve to death than eat the food you bought. Take it away!"
"Uncle Lin, Lin Yao has been very tired recently. If she is hungry, she will easily get sick. I'll put the food by the door and leave."
Fang Xiaole's voice was heard again outside the door, followed by the sound of footsteps coming from near and far away.
"snort!"
Lin Duanzheng snorted coldly, turned around and walked back to the living room and sat down, still standing straight and energetic.
A few minutes later.
Coo~~
Professor Lin's stomach growled twice again.
He had a cold face and subconsciously turned his head to look at the door.
