Ziheng: “…”
Xu Yanfeng's lips moved slightly, and in a voice that only they could hear, he said, "My dear son, this is a special situation. Can you help me?"
Ziheng pursed his lips, paused for a long moment, and then reluctantly called out, "Dad," as if being forced to do something.
This was the first time the brat called daddy. Although he didn't do it willingly, it was still very shocking to Xu Yanfeng's ears. He stood there in a daze, his heart seemed to be hit by something, becoming soft and warm.
Xu Yanfeng slowly stood up, in a good mood. He looked at the girl, but before he could say anything, the girl said "sorry to bother you" and ran away without buying anything.
Xia Xi got to the line first and bought Youyou a colorful flower-shaped one. She turned around and asked Ziheng, "Ziheng, what shape do you want?"
Ziheng glanced at the promotional picture in front of the counter and said, "I want the panda one."
After buying, Xia Xi stepped out of the crowd and the two children ate while walking.
Xu Yanfeng suddenly squeezed next to Xia Xi, tilted his head, and his warm breath hit her ear. His voice was filled with resentment: "You saw everything just now, why didn't you help me?"
Xia Xi had a blank expression on her face and chuckled, "Do you still need my help with something like this? Weren't there a lot of girls chasing after you when you were in college? I never saw you need help with anything, didn't you always handle it on your own?"
Xu Yanfeng: "That's true."
Xia Xi glanced at him, his eyes seemed to say, what else are you talking about.
"I can't handle every girl either." Xu Yanfeng spoke slowly, "For example, I can't handle you."
“…”
Xia Xi wanted to beg him not to bring up the past.
Ziheng was biting his tongue when a man passed by him. Xu Yanfeng was talking to Xia Xi and noticed him from the corner of his eye. He pulled Ziheng aside. The man seemed to realize that he had almost bumped into someone and turned around to apologize.
Ziheng stared at the man, who was also queuing to buy. He lifted the child up and sat him on his shoulders.
Xu Yanfeng followed Ziheng's gaze, glancing at the father and son, then patted him on the back of the head. Ziheng turned and glared at him. Xu Yanfeng smiled, "You want that, too?"
Ziheng said with a stern face: "No."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yanfeng picked him up. Before he was ready, he let out an "Ah", and then he was lifted higher and higher and placed on Xu Yanfeng's shoulders.
Xu Yanfeng was tall, and Ziheng rode on his neck, feeling like a tall giant, looking down on all the other mountains. He was excited and a little nervous, and his little face turned red.
Xia Xi looked at this scene, stunned for a moment, and reminded him: "Be careful, don't let him fall."
Xu Yanfeng: "No."
After carrying Ziheng for a while, Ziheng felt uncomfortable and said awkwardly, "I want to get down."
Xu Yanfeng put him down and turned his head to look at Youyou: "Youyou, do you want to try it?"
"I don't want to. It's too high. I will fall down." Youyou shook her head, stepped back and hid behind Xia Xi.
"Look, Ziheng didn't fall down."
After hearing this, Youyou took a step forward, her eyes showing her eagerness to try.
Xu Yanfeng saw it and lifted her up, just like before.
Youyou didn't expect it to be so high. She hugged Xu Yanfeng's head in fear, screaming and giggling. She wanted to get down after sitting for a few seconds, so Xu Yanfeng had to put her down.
Xia Xi keenly noticed that Ziheng's eyes had changed when he looked at Xu Yanfeng, now filled with admiration. She hadn't previously considered the child's lack of a father; she had provided him with meticulous care and love, as well as proper guidance and education. But now, she couldn't firmly believe that she could completely replace the role of "father."
The smile on Xu Yanfeng's face had not faded yet, his eyes were crooked, and with his outfit, he looked extremely handsome and dazzling.
He suddenly looked over, and as if he noticed that Xia Xi was a little distracted, he raised his eyebrows: "You want to ride on my neck too?"
"……ah?"
Xia Xi didn't quite hear what he said and her expression was stunned.
