Su Jinyu glanced at him, "I'll leave first, don't mention this matter again."
Driving along the way, Su Jinyu even wondered if Xia Zhanqiao was at home at this time?
The car drove downstairs, and a beam of light upstairs made him smile at the corners of his lips without realizing it.
When he opened the door, a pair of stiff hands accurately handed over a pair of men's slippers, an action he enjoyed almost every day after get off work.
Su Jinyu looked at her face with her head down and asked, "You came back earlier today than yesterday, you have learned a lesson."
Xia Zhanqiao put his leather shoes on the shoe rack, then got up and walked towards the kitchen, "It's not that I came back early, it's you who came back late, it's past eight o'clock now, except for yesterday when I came back at ten o'clock, I have never exceeded this hour, come and eat, it's cold."
Su Jinyu looked a little embarrassed, he seemed to come back late on purpose today, right?
"I've eaten."
Xia Zhanqiao paused, and the apron on his body took off, "Then the meal won't be hot."
"Kobashi." He shouted, a little ashamed that he had misunderstood her yesterday, and pretended to cough, "Cough...... Your father died yesterday?"
Xia Zhanqiao's face was a little pale, she nodded, and her eyes began to sore again.
"He committed suicide."
The two lay on the bed, Su Jinyu just hugged her, and there was no movement that was inappropriate for children.
……
As soon as Qiao Zhixi's confinement was finished, he hurriedly asked Xia Zhanqiao to visit her and the child.
"Ouch! You are here, it's been a month, you haven't come to see me, I'm bored when I can't go out at home alone." As soon as she entered the door, she kept complaining about Xia Zhanqiao.
Xia Zhanqiao took the child in her arms, raised a smile on her face, and praised, "This child looks so much like you, he is so beautiful."
Qiao Zhixi curled his lips, "I think girls look like their father, she is still small, she hasn't grown up, and she can see it when she is older. By the way, did your uncle come out of the drug rehabilitation center?"
Xia Zhanqiao was stunned, Qiao Zhixi still didn't know the news of her father's death, and it was no wonder that she had little contact with Qiao Zhixi before.
"My dad passed away."
Qiao Zhixi didn't hear it clearly for a while, "Trestle, who did you say died?"
"My dad."
Qiao Zhixi's eyes welled up with disbelief, "How is this possible? Uncle is only in his early fifties, right? At such a young age...... Impossible...... Trestle, don't joke."
"I'm telling the truth. Xi'er, my dad is really gone, don't ask anymore......"
Qiao Zhixi looked at her gloom, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in her eyes, and she said softly, "I'm sorry."
Xia Zhanqiao shook his head, "It's okay."
Seeing that she was a little sluggish, Qiao Zhixi took the child and smiled, "Trestle, let's go to the yard and sit down, we have been stuffy in the room for a month, and we can finally go out to get some air."
"The weather is fine today, when will Brother Gao Xin come back?"
Qiao Zhixi was surprised, "What? Are you looking for something to do?"
Xia Zhanqiao was slightly embarrassed, "I'll just ask, what can I do?"
Qiao Zhixi smiled clearly and pretended to ask casually, "Zhanqiao, you see that my daughter has been born, and your boyfriend hasn't brought it over for me to see. When do you plan to get married, I will go with my husband then."
Marry? She really didn't think about it.
"Nowadays, many people get married in their thirties and forties, so I'm not in a hurry when I'm twenty-five."
The two came to a place covered by sun umbrellas and sat down, and the child in their arms opened their eyes slightly and looked at this beautiful and unfamiliar surroundings.
"A woman's youth cannot withstand the consumption, and in a few more years, good men will be other people's husbands." Qiao Zhixi touched the child's tender white hands and comforted them.
Xia Zhanqiao smiled, "This is about fate."
"Why don't you go on a blind date? Maybe you can meet your lover." Qiao Zhixi said, carefully observing her expression with his eyes.
