Chapter 555: Expectations

Nanzhi was about to walk towards him when there was a knock on the door behind him.

She had to stop and turn back.

"dad?"

Fu Yunfeng carefully poked his head out from the crack of the door: "Yi Yi is still awake, right?"

"Not asleep yet. I was just about to tell him a bedtime story."

Nanzhi was helpless, having already guessed Fu Yunfeng's purpose.

really.

Fu Yunfeng hesitated, but still said, "Zhizhi, are you free? Dad wants to talk to you."

Fu Yunfeng was a respected Mr. Fu outside, but when he came in front of her, he kept looking at her for expressions.

Nanzhi was reluctant to reject him, so after hesitating, she nodded:

"All right."

She turned to Anan and said, "I'll be back in a moment."

Anan nodded obediently:

"I know, Mom."

There wasn't much disappointment in his eyes.

Nanzhi was a little surprised.

She thought Anan would be unhappy.

But now, he looked unexpectedly calm, as if... he had no expectations from the beginning.

This made Nanzhi think of what Lu Shixu had just said.

So she emphasized and said again: "I'll be back in a moment."

"Yes, Mom."

Anan didn't understand.

Nanzhi then opened the door and walked out.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? My brother and mom have already come to me once."

Nanzhi pressed his temple with a headache, and could only sigh that they were indeed family, even their actions were so consistent.

Fu Yunfeng: "Xiao Chao and your mother have come to you? All about Yi Yi's matter?"

Nanzhi nodded.

"Then I won't keep you in suspense. Zhizhi, what Dad is going to say next might be a little mysterious, but you have to pay attention to it."

"Um?"

How mysterious could it be? Could it be more mysterious than discovering that one was the child of destiny in the world? Then, Nanzhi heard Fu Yunfeng say solemnly: "Let's take Yi Yi to the temple tomorrow."

"……ha?"

My dad's development routine is really a bit unexpected, even metaphysics is involved!

Nanzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

But Fu Yunfeng looked extremely serious: "No matter how I think about it, I feel that Yi Yi's case is not simple. Maybe... he is possessed by evil spirits!"

"dad!"

"Zhizhi, I know that as a mother, you may sound unhappy. But this is the situation that the child has encountered. Didn't you notice that his behavior at the dinner table just now was very strange? Too unfamiliar, too polite, not as affectionate as before... Of course, I'm not saying that Yi Yi is no longer Yi Yi, I just suspect that he has been bewitched by dirty things! I know a few eminent monks, let's take some time to perform a ritual for him, and it will definitely bless our Yi Yi to be safe and sound!"

Fu Yunfeng's expression couldn't be more serious.

And what would Nanzhi say?

After all, Fu Yunfeng's explanation is, in a sense, also a truth.

It’s just that Anan is not a dirty thing, but Nan Yi from another world.

"Well, Dad, I will find time to explain Yi Yi's situation to you. You'd better not arrange anything with the monk."

Nanzhi has decided to have a complete showdown.

If this continues, Fu Yunfeng might even have to invite a high monk to come to his house! As a result, Fu Yunfeng's next sentence was: "Zhizhi, do you really not want to take Yiyi to the temple? How about I invite the master to my house?"

Nanzhi: “…”

Finally, Qingqing, who was behind the corner, couldn't bear it anymore.

She walked out quickly, grabbed Fu Yunfeng by the collar, dragged him behind her, and said to Nanzhi:

"Zhizhi, don't pay attention to your dad. He hangs out with those charlatans every day. His mind is not clear anymore!"

Fu Yunfeng refuted Qingqing in a rare rebuttal: "What charlatan? Our master is really capable! Do you still remember the story of Lao Lin? He is..."

"Shut up."

Under Qingqing's threatening gaze, Fu Yunfeng shut up unwillingly.

However, Qingqing had another explanation for Nanzhi: "Zhizhi, feudal superstition is not acceptable. We should believe in science, so we should go see a psychiatrist..."

Nanzhi is a little confused:

"Dad, Mom, I'll explain this to you right away."

I wanted to wait until tomorrow to find some time, but now it seems that I can't delay it at all! Qingqing didn't take Nanzhi's words to heart.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Seeing that Nanzhi looked like she had a headache, she was reluctant to force her, so she said, "Okay, okay, mom won't say anything more. When you want to do this, mom will accompany you, okay?"

Just like coaxing a child.

Fu Yunfeng even took out a string of small-leaf red sandalwood Buddhist beads from his wrist.

Nanzhi remembered that this string of red sandalwood Buddhist beads was something Fu Yunfeng had specially bought from the temple after he kowtowed three times and nine times in the second year after she was kidnapped and disappeared. Both the materials used and the craftsmanship put into it were of the highest quality.

The entire string of Buddhist beads had already been polished to form a layer of patina, and looked glossy and shiny, like jade. Fu Yunfeng had always taken good care of it.

However, he now stuffed the beads into Nanzhi's hand and told her:

"Put them on us one by one. These beads have been blessed. They can ward off evil and eliminate disasters. They are very effective!"

Seeing the eagerness in Fu Yunfeng's eyes, Nanzhi didn't say no in the end.

She turned and went back into the room.

To her surprise, but not surprise, the bedside lamp was turned off.

Anan has fallen asleep? Nanzhi thought about it and decided to walk over.

I saw Anan lying in the quilt with his eyes closed, and he seemed to be really asleep.

However, when Nanzhi approached, he felt that his breathing was a little disordered.

"Why are you pretending to sleep?"

She sat down gently on the edge of the bed.

The soft mattress suddenly collapsed.

Anan's eyelashes trembled.

Soon, he timidly opened his eyes and explained in a low voice:

"I thought you wouldn't come back."

Many adults don’t know how to keep their promises.

Whether in the orphanage or in school, the most basic principle that Anan learned was -

Don't have any expectations so you won't be disappointed.

So, when the caregiver brother who came to the orphanage said he would come to celebrate his birthday but broke the promise without a word, he was not disappointed, because he told himself that the brother was a college student and was very busy. So, when the elementary school teacher promised to personally select a pen for him after he got full marks in the exam, but forgot about it, he was not disappointed, because he thought that with so many students in the class, the teacher would certainly not pay attention to him all the time.

…

"But I'm your mother."

Nanzhi looked at him tenderly and repeated firmly, "Anan, remember, I am your mother. Our relationship is different, so you can always have expectations of me. If I can't do it, it's my fault, and you have to point it out and criticize me immediately."

There were tears in Anan's eyes, but he tried hard to suppress them.

He pursed his lips hard:

"That...although it's a little childish, I still want to hear a bedtime story, Mom."

"Of course!"

Nanzhi smiled brightly.
