Early in the morning, Xu Mengyu held a watering can in her hand, humming a cheerful tune. In another week, Miaomiao would be discharged from the hospital, followed by the opening of her clothing store. Everything was going in a good direction.
Zheng Tianming sat on the wicker chair on the balcony, holding his phone: "Honey, I forgot to tell you, Li Fengmao's wife gave birth to a girl."
“I have this feeling that everyone in the world can have a daughter, but not in our family.” Xu Mengyu said, putting down the watering can and walking over to Zheng Tianming to take a look: “He can crawl now, his little bottom sticking up, so cute.”
Zheng Tianming looked up at Xu Mengyu: "Our daughter is in a tough spot, how about we enjoy the process?" He had been dreaming about this.
Xu Mengyu snorted lightly: "No way, you'll never enjoy that in your life." After saying that, she walked towards the living room.
Zheng Tianming got up and followed him: "Why can't I enjoy it? I haven't done anything to upset you lately."
Xu Mengyu opened the refrigerator and took out yogurt and blueberries: "Oh, so what we made before doesn't count?"
I get it, it's just about punishing him in different ways.
Xu Sichen and Li Mirui usually leave early and return late, sometimes not getting home until the middle of the night. Today, they are unusually returning early.
"You're so busy, do you need my help?" Xu Mengyu massaged Li Mirui's temples across the back of the sofa.
Li Miru looked at Xu Mengyu and finally sighed deeply: "You said it yourself, don't regret it."
Xu Mengyu nodded. With her parents around, she could just help out. Since she wasn't joining any productions recently, she could squeeze out some time to help them.
Xu Sichen sat on the balcony, looking down and observing carefully: "Xu Mengyu, did you do this?" As he spoke, he pulled the plastic cactus out of the flowerpot.
Xu Mengyu, wearing slippers, ran into the bedroom and closed the door as quickly as possible.
Zheng Tianming glanced at the watering can: "I just watered it." After saying that, he bent down and picked up the cactus in his hand: "I have to say, it looks just like the real thing."
Xu Sichen: "..."
If you have such a mindset, you shouldn't buy one to actually keep as a pet.
This child is just like her mother; everything she tries to raise, except for children, dies.
Li Miru frowned slightly upon receiving the gaze. Why was she being stared at like that? It wasn't like she was raising it...
Xu Mengyu was lying on the bed swinging her legs. Parents could see their children's daily lives through the video. Xu Lu was resting on her desk, looking very tired and sleepy.
What did he do yesterday? He's so sleepy today.
Zheng Tianming pushed open the door and walked in: "You caused trouble and then ran away?" After saying that, he sat on the edge of the bed and followed Xu Mengyu's gaze to the notebook on the bed.
"Lu Lu doesn't seem to be feeling well." Xu Mengyu said, sitting up. "Go pick him up."
Zheng Tianming stood up: "His complexion was a bit off yesterday. When I asked him, he said he had a nightmare last night and didn't sleep well."
"Then what are you waiting for? Go on!" Xu Mengyu glared at Zheng Tianming. She had noticed it yesterday, and today she even took him to school.
Xu Lu has been suffering from headaches every day lately, especially in her temples. She can't sleep well at night and has nightmares every night.
He would wake up several times a night in fright, but his family was very busy and he didn't want to trouble them.
Zheng Tianming arrived at the school quickly. As he passed the security room, his long eyes narrowed, but he acted naturally.
“I am Xu Lu’s father. I’m here to pick him up. He’s not feeling well,” Zheng Tianming said, picking up a pen to register.
He deliberately wrote his name as "Pei Lan," but the security guard still let him in.
Xu Lu was forcing herself to attend class, her temples throbbing, her eyelids twitching, and she felt extremely nauseous...
As Zheng Tianming went upstairs, he took out his phone: "Hello, this is... number..."
The teacher noticed that something was wrong with Xu Lu. She walked over and gently patted his shoulder: "Xu Lu, are you feeling unwell?"
Xu Lu thought for a moment; there were still two classes left, she could try to hold on: "I..."
At this moment, Zheng Tianming knocked on the classroom door, and after receiving a response, he pushed the door open and went in.
"Teacher, Xu Lu isn't feeling well. I'll take him to the hospital for a check-up." Zheng Tianming was dressed in a smart suit; after all, he was at school and wanted to make a good impression on his son's classmates and teachers...
"Okay," the teacher said, stepping aside.
Xu Lu stood up; his head was throbbing terribly, and he looked at Zheng Tianming with teary eyes.
Zheng Tianming walked over with a pained expression and picked him up in his arms:
"Please send me the test results later. As the homeroom teacher, I care a lot about Xu Lu's health." After saying that, the teacher's gaze fell on Zheng Tianming's face.
etc...
She seems to have discovered something incredible; her face is still trending on social media. But she's a teacher, so she needs to maintain her professional ethics.
Xu Lu hugged Zheng Tianming's neck, tears streaming down her face: "Dad, I have a terrible headache and feel like throwing up."
Zheng Tianming carried Xu Lu out and closed the classroom door: "I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up right away."
"I'm not going. I just haven't been sleeping well. I've been having nightmares every day these past few days." Xu Lu said, burying her head in Zheng Tianming's neck. "I wasn't secretly playing on my phone."
Zheng Tianming felt a pang of pain in his heart. Xu Lu rarely made demands, and it was as if the sky was falling when she made even the slightest mistake.
“Son, as long as you don’t go out and kill or commit arson, I allow you to make mistakes. Besides, it’s not a mistake that you’re not feeling well, and you don’t need to explain. On the contrary, you must tell me and your mother if you’re not feeling well, otherwise what will your mother and I do if something happens to you?”
Xu Lu nodded slightly: "You are all too busy. I am still young and cannot help."
“We’re busy, but you’ll always come first. You’re the center of this whole ball, understand?” Zheng Tianming held Xu Lu in one arm. He had given her too little fatherly love; he had been absent from her life far too often.
This caused Xu Lu to feel insecure, fearing the loss of him and her other family members.
Xu Lu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Mom is the center of our family, and we both have to revolve around her."
Zheng Tianming thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "You and your mother are my center, is that alright?"
Xu Lu wrapped his arms around Zheng Tianming's neck and swung his legs. He had never been an unwanted child.
Zheng Tianming took Xu Lu directly to his own hospital, which had all the necessary equipment and didn't require waiting in line.
Upon learning this, Xu Mengyu rushed to the hospital. She had been so busy lately that she had neglected Xu Lu, and she felt guilty all the way there.
After a doctor's examination, Xu Lu was found to be healthy. Her headaches were likely related to sleep, and as for her nightmares, she needed to see a psychologist.
Xu Mengyu held Xu Lu in her arms and gently stroked his pale face.
Zheng Tianming squatted down in front of Xu Lu with a water glass in his hand. He roughly guessed what had happened, but he didn't expect Xu Lu to still be so persistent...
