Chapter 18
Ningning's grandmother lives about two bus stops from the subway station. It was six o'clock and the bus stop was full of people. Zhou Yibai took a look at the crowd and gave up and decided to go directly.
The phone was put in his pocket, and Zhou Yibai held things in both hands, but he didn't notice that the screen had lit up a few times.
After walking for nearly half an hour, Zhou Yibai finally arrived at the community. Ningning's grandmother lived on the fifth floor. He wiped away the thin sweat from his forehead and prepared to take the elevator upstairs.
However, when we walked to the elevator, a repair sign was placed straight there.
Zhou Yibai looked at the sign and his mouth slowly opened, as if he wanted to say something. However, in the end he let out a long sigh, said nothing, and silently climbed up the stairs.
When he arrived at the fifth floor, Zhou Yibai was already panting and his white face turned red. He could not calm down his breath even if he took a few deep breaths.
He gasped and rang the doorbell, and the door opened almost instantly.
He heard Ningning's grandmother shouting in the room, "Let her mother-in-law open the door", but there was no one in front of him.
The next second, a small body pounced on his feet.
"Dad!" Ning Ning hugged Zhou Yibai's feet tightly, with a crying voice in her voice, "Dad...Dad..."
Zhou Yibai couldn't move, couldn't move his legs and couldn't take action, so he could only ask quickly: "What's wrong with the good boy?"
"She started waiting for you after school. You didn't answer the phone call. She thought you didn't want her anymore." Ningning's grandmother stood behind and said helplessly.
"There are too many people, and my father came over without taking a ride, and I didn't see my phone in my pocket. I didn't mean to ignore Ningning." Zhou Yibai explained, but Ningning still held his legs, as if he would run away as soon as he let it go.
Zhou Yibai had no choice but to keep standing at the door and hand the gift in his hand to Ningning's grandmother, and said, "Auntie, this was bought when participating in the event. Thank you for helping me with Ningning these days."
Finally, he took off one of the things on his hand. Zhou Yibai quickly touched Ningning's head, grabbed Ningning's little hand and shook it, and said helplessly: "Little fat man, when will you hold it?"
Ning Ning let go a little, looked up at her father with tears in her eyes, looking aggrieved.
"Have you eaten? Do you want to have a meal first?"
"Thank you, aunt, I've eaten some on the way." Zhou Yibai actually didn't eat anything, but he was exhausted and he had no appetite at all, "Did Ningning eat it?"
"I ate it as soon as I came back from school, ate a bowl of rice, and I ate a lot of dishes just now."
"Why are you so well-behaved today?" Zhou Yibai pinched Ningning's little hand, "Hmm?"
"Because my dad likes good Ningning." Ningning rubbed her face against Zhou Yibai's pants, rubbing her tears dry, and holding her dad's hand with both hands.
Ningning's grandmother felt soft when she saw Ningning. After her daughter was gone, the one she loved most was Xiao Ningning, and she was always reluctant to let Ningning go. She asked Zhou Yibai, "Do you want to stay tonight? The room has been cleaned up for you."
Zhou Yibai understood what she meant, but today I was so tired that I just wanted to go home quickly, so I said, "I will take her to kindergarten tomorrow. My home is closer to kindergarten. I'd better go home first today and take Ningning to see my aunt in two weeks."
Grandma kept her for a few more words, and finally saw that Ningning had already gone to get her little backpack, so she had to give up. However, Ningning didn't just take it and ran away. She first ran to her grandmother and reached out to hug her. After hugging her, she asked for a kiss. She also whispered for a while, and finally waved her hand to follow her father.
After leaving the door, Zhou Yibai took Ningning's little hand down the stairs.
Ningning stopped crying. When she saw her father, she began to talk about what happened in the past two days. She jumped while walking, so happy that she was almost flying.
"You go carefully, don't jump, jump for a while and roll down."
"But dad can catch me!"
Facing his daughter's mysterious admiration, Zhou Yibai dared not refute it and said guiltily: "No one can catch you except me, you should go carefully."
"Oh." Ning Ning stopped jumping and went down the stairs step by step.
"Can my mother-in-law catch me?" Ning Ning looked up and asked after leaving the community.
"cannot."
"Where is Aunt Xinxin?"
“No, either.”
"Where is the teacher?"
Zhou Yibai thought that Ningning’s kindergarten teacher was a petite girl, and shook his head and said, “Not even.”
"Oh." Ning Ning lowered her head and thought for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Where is that snack uncle?"
"Who?" Zhou Yibai suddenly didn't react.
Ningning swallowed, secretly glanced at the big bag of snacks on Zhou Yibai's hand, and whispered: "That handsome uncle."
Zhou Yibai caught Ningning's little eyes, shook his bag and said, "I'll eat it tomorrow, you've finished dinner today."
Ningning nodded, Zhou Yibai returned to the topic just now and said seriously: "He should be able to catch Ningning and lift Ningning up."
Ning Ning widened her eyes when she heard this: "So amazing?"
Zhou Yibai compared the height of his height and said, "Can you lift Ningning so high."
The reason why Zhou Yibai is so sure is that he has been lifted up like this by Meng Yu.
The two of them didn't know what they said that day, so Meng Yu picked up Zhou Yibai. Although Zhou Yibai was thin, she was still 1.75 meters tall. Unexpectedly, Meng Yu could really lift him up without any obstacles, and said that he was too thin.
"When will uncle come to play with me?" Ning Ning couldn't wait to play with Meng Yu when she heard that Meng Yu could lift him up.
"Well..." Zhou Yibai thought seriously and replied conservatively, "He wants to go to work, and Ningning will invite him to play when he has time."
Although Meng Yu swears to come to see him when he bid farewell, Zhou Yibai is not a child anymore. He knows that many people say "goodbye" just because of habit, and they don't necessarily really want to see him. He really wants to play with Meng Yu, but even if Meng Yu never appears again from now on, he can understand.
Ning Ning didn't understand what his father was thinking, and raised her face and said excitedly: "Then we will treat him to snacks when he comes! Have pudding!"
Zhou Yibai nodded and replied: "He will definitely like it."
It took another half an hour to get to the subway station. Ningning went to kindergarten all day and cried a little at night. In addition, after walking for a while, he was already very sleepy when he entered the subway station.
Someone gave up a seat for them, and Zhou Yibai sat down with Ningning in his arms, and Ningning fell asleep in his arms.
When the subway arrived at the station, Zhou Yibai carried his backpack on his back, with a travel bag and a large bag of snacks in one hand, and Ningning's small backpack on the other hand, and then hugged Ningning with both hands, walking with some difficulty. The child was warm all over when he fell asleep. Zhou Yibai was afraid that she would catch a cold, but he couldn't make a move to get a piece of clothing, so he had to hug her tightly.
He walked on the street where people were coming and going, and for some reason he suddenly thought of Meng Yu and thought to himself, it would be great if Meng Yu was there.
By the time Zhou Yibai returned home, it was already 8:30.
He put the sleeping Ningning on her bed, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The weakness and fatigue came in an instant. Instead of leaving immediately, he sat by the bed and looked at Ningning's sleeping face. After looking at her for a while, he picked up his cell phone.
I didn’t use my phone for a long time, and when I turned on the screen, I saw several missed calls, all of which were called by Ningning.
In addition to missed calls, there is also an unread WeChat message.
“Have you arrived home?”
It was a strange account, and there was only one conversation between the two. Zhou Yibai forgot when he added him. However, when he looked at the avatar, he knew that it was added by Meng Yu for him. The avatar was Meng Yu wearing a suit and a pair of gold-framed glasses, sitting at the main seat of the conference table with a serious face.
Zhou Yibai took a picture of Ningning sleeping and sent it to him.
"Cute!!!" Meng Yu replied in almost three seconds. A few seconds later, Meng Yu sent another one: "I look very similar to you when I sleep."
Is there anything? Zhou Yibai saw Ningning's pouting look in his sleep, and didn't feel anything like it, so he learned Ningning's posture and lay on the bed, raised his hand to take a photo of himself.
"It's not like it?" He sent the photo to Meng Yu.
He thought Meng Yu would reply soon, but this time Zhou Yibai lay on the bed and waited again and again, but he did not receive Meng Yu's reply.
On the other end of the city, Meng Yu stood in the dark and looked at his cell phone.
The light from the phone illuminated his face, and he saw a wonderful smile on his face, looking very strange.
At this moment, he only had one sentence in his heart:
Help - Why is it so cute!!!
