When happiness knocks on the door
Three years later, outside the cake shop in Yun City.
"Dad!" A child about three years old, wearing a little yellow duck hat and holding a shopping bag with a huge orange pattern printed on it, stood at the door of the cake shop and called out to the man running towards him from a distance.
"Dad, the teacher gave me a little red flower as a reward today. Can I have an extra little cake?"
Lin Xunye stopped panting and touched the child's head: "Didn't Daddy tell you to wait in the ice cream shop next door? Why did you run here?"
The child held his hand and looked at him with his big round eyes: "But the ice cream in the ice cream shop smells so good. Orange really wants to eat it, but Daddy won't let Orange eat it because the ice cream is cold. So Orange came here instead."
Chengzi finished complaining in a milky voice and shook Lin Xunye's hand: "Daddy, please, Chengzi really wants to eat it."
Lin Xunye squatted down, raised a finger, and tried to reason with him: "You can only eat a little bit of oranges, understand?"
Seeing that Lin Xunye agreed, Chengzi nodded and kissed Lin Xunye on the face.
Lin Xunye held the orange in his arms and pushed open the shop door.
The clerk inside saw him and came up to him happily: "Brother Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time. Little Chengzi is still so cute." The clerk poked Chengzi's cheek, and Chengzi immediately held her finger: "Hello, beautiful sister, I am more beautiful today than last time!"
Lin Xunye was so embarrassed by Chengzi that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He nodded politely: "I've been busy recently, so I didn't come."
The clerk touched Orange's little face again and went back to the counter: "Is it still the same?"
Lin Xunye flipped the oranges upside down and asked, "Which orange do you want to eat?"
Chengzi tugged at Lin Xunye's collar and asked him to show her around. Then, pointing to a small heart-shaped cake, she said, "Chengzi wants to eat this. I've never had this before, and it looks delicious."
Lin Xunye always responded to Orange's requests. As long as they weren't too excessive, he would satisfy them: "That's it."
The clerk happily agreed and gossiped with him while packing up, "Have you heard that an organization is opening next door? It seems to be specializing in some kind of charity. It's going to be a big deal. I heard that the founder has a beautiful and sad story. I'll tell you next time you come!"
Lin Xunye took the cake and scratched Chengzi's nose: "Chengzi, do you want to hear your sister tell you a story?"
Orange's heart was hanging on the cake, and her little ears seemed to be closed, and she didn't hear Lin Xunye's words at all.
Seeing this, Lin Xunye smiled at the clerk, said goodbye and walked out of the cake shop.
Even when they got home, Orange's eyes never left the cake.
Chengzi loves sweets and often begs Lin Xunye to buy him some desserts. Lin Xunye has no experience in taking care of children and can't stand his constant constant calls of "Dad is the best", so he always buys a small one, gives a little to Chengzi, and then he takes care of the rest himself.
In fact, Lin Xunye didn’t like sweet food very much at first, but since she became pregnant, she especially wanted to eat desserts.
In the first year after arriving in Yun City, he cried almost every night because of his hunger. But he couldn't eat too much, as it was bad for the children and would easily cause diabetes.
He thought about relieving the pain by eating something else, but it was of no use. Even the black tea he had tried in Hai City didn't work, and he stopped drinking it since then.
Orange was restless in the womb and would often wake him up in the middle of the night. Although he had no morning sickness and a good appetite throughout the pregnancy, fetal movement was unavoidable.
After Chengzi was born, perhaps because he didn't have an Alpha father around, he felt very insecure. If Lin Xunye wasn't there to accompany him during sleep, he would wake up in the middle of the night. For the first month after his birth, Lin Xunye couldn't sleep all night. Chengzi cried heartbreakingly every day, and even after being comforted for a while, he would cry again.
After going to the hospital for a check-up, I found out that the problem was caused by not receiving enough pheromones from the Alpha father during pregnancy.
After leaving the hospital that day, Lin Xunye stood on the street for a long time holding Orange.
The children passing by were all from families of three, with a father, a mother, or two fathers, but Orange was the only one.
His heart was filled with bitterness, but Orange kept blinking her watery blue eyes at him and humming softly. He couldn't cry, and at the same time he didn't want Orange to think he was an alien, so he forced a smile and lied to Orange.
He said: "Your father was captured by a monster while saving the world. It will take many years for him to come back. You will be able to see him when Orange grows up."
A white lie, kept from the age of one to three.
But maybe because he was getting older, Orange started talking more and asking more questions.
After eating the cake, Orange was carried by Lin Xunye to brush his teeth. When Lin Xunye squeezed toothpaste on him, Orange immediately covered his mouth and shook his head: "No, no, Orange wants to listen to Big Daddy's stories."
Lin Xunye carried him to a small chair nearby and said, "Your big daddy has been captured by a monster. If Orange doesn't brush his teeth, he won't be able to come back."
This is something Orange has never heard of.
He rolled his eyes and asked Lin Xunye: "If I brush my teeth obediently, will Big Daddy come back immediately?"
Lin Xunye thought this was a child's joke. He chuckled twice, squatted in front of Chengzi, took his hand away, and then let out an "ah".
Orange, who was always obedient, suddenly became stubborn. He put his hands on his hips, frowned, and asked seriously: "Will Big Daddy be back tomorrow?"
Lin Xunye pinched his cheek and said, "Chengzi, try it. Brush your teeth first tonight and see if it works after you wake up."
Children have short memories, so Lin Xunye planned to fool around and talk about it tonight.
But Orange was very stubborn and taught Lin Xunye like a little adult: "Dad is just lying to Orange. Even if Orange brushes his teeth, Dad won't come back. Orange won't brush his teeth, humph!"
Orange hummed and imitated the kangaroo in the video, making several circles with his fists in front of his chest, then he hugged his chest and looked at Lin Xunye with a pout.
Lin Xunye took the toothpaste and squatted on the other foot: "Then Daddy will be back tomorrow, how about it? Orange can brush his teeth now?"
After getting Lin Xunye's affirmative answer, Chengzi was happy and took the toothbrush to start brushing.
Lin Xunye carried him to a bench and made him stand, supervising him while he brushed his teeth.
Chengzi brushed his mouth very carefully. After rinsing his mouth, he turned around and grinned at Lin Xunye, letting him see how clean he had brushed his mouth.
Lin Xunye touched his head and praised him: "Chengzi is really amazing. Let's go to bed."
Although the child goes to bed early, Orange's sleep quality is not good. Waking up in the middle of the night is common. After three years, Lin Xunye has become accustomed to it.
Patting Orange's personal little blanket, Lin Xunye stammered as he sang the nursery rhyme he had learned from his phone.
He had never heard of it as a child, and he had never sung it when he grew up. Before, when he went to KTV with Xu Qian and others, he just drank. But after having Chengzi, he learned a new song almost every six months.
By now, he has learned three and a half songs.
After Chengzi fell asleep, Lin Xunye also started working.
Lin Xunye doesn't know many things, but his most proficient skill is calligraphy.
He actually wanted to work as a teacher in a local institution, but due to issues such as his clothing style and taking care of Orange, he had to give up.
In the end, he chose to start live streaming on short videos.
Self-media allows for flexible time and the ability to choose content independently. This allows Lin Xunye to take care of Chengzi while avoiding running into people he knows. This is the best job for him right now.
The content of his live broadcast is very simple. He does not show his face and writes what he wants to write based on the barrage.
In the second year after coming to Yun City, he encountered a strange thing. Someone gave him all the gifts on the platform and asked him to write the three words "Lin Xunye".
Lin Xunye was stunned for just a moment and quickly finished writing.
There are many people with the same name in the world, it's no big deal.
The other party was also very satisfied and would come to his live broadcast room from time to time to give him rewards and ask him to write various sentences, but the most common one he wrote was the three words "Lin Xunye".
Occasionally, Lin Xunye would be distracted by this stranger and even think of Gu Pei.
During these three years, although Gu Pei did not appear by his side, he was everywhere.
Chengzi looks very similar to Gu Pei, with the same deep blue eyes and even the mole on the side of the nose. Especially when Chengzi turns his face to the side, he looks exactly like Gu Pei.
Lin Xunye would sometimes subconsciously call out the word "Gu" when calling Chengzi.
Or when he was alone, he would think of Gu Pei.
He would wonder if Gu Pei really thought he was dead, and whether Gu Pei would be very sad. He would probably cry, after all, Gu Pei was a crybaby in his previous life and loved to cry.
But when he heard Orange's moan, he came back to his senses in an instant.
The original Lin Xunye is dead, and the current Lin Xunye has nothing to do with Gu Pei.
......
The live broadcast started as usual. Lin Xunye wrote for about an hour, and then the professional "Lin Xunye" appeared.
【Search】:Gift X99
【寻】: Lin Xunye.
It’s a very brief sentence, and it’s written as “Lin Xunye” again.
Lin Xunye's hands had formed muscle memory, and when he saw this ID, he subconsciously wrote the word "Lin".
Lin Xunye doesn't speak during the live broadcast, all the videos are sent to him by netizens. Now that the professional "Lin Xunye" has arrived, the barrage of comments has become lively.
【Only abstraction can help you find your partner】: Big brother is here, and you miss your wife again?
[I am not a bootlicker]: This guy is too persistent. I have been watching him for two years. Is it possible that his wife ran away? He is thinking of her by looking at her.
【Get rich soon】: What the above person said makes sense.
【Wahahaha】: Add 1.
[Don’t want to get married]: Add 1.
Lin Xunye took the time to look at the barrage, and found that it was all plus one. Curious, he scrolled up and saw that the chat history under the ID Xun was full of plus one in agreement.
He couldn't help but laugh, and at the same time felt a little sad for the professional "Lin Xunye".
Ever since I wrote about "Lin Xunye" once, this person would come at least fifteen days a month, just like checking in in his live broadcast room, and give a lot of gifts every time he came.
Relying on the professional "Lin Xunye", Lin Xunye has achieved financial freedom.
The three words "Lin Xunye" were written quickly, but Xun, contrary to his usual behavior, did not leave.
【Search】:Gift X99
【寻】:Write it again.
Since the top brother on the list had spoken, there was no reason for Lin Xunye not to write.
He was just about to write when he heard Orange crying in the bedroom and calling "Dad" twice.
Lin Xunye immediately put down his pen and said to the live broadcast room: "Sorry, my son is crying."
In an instant, the quiet live broadcast room became lively.
