Zhuang Long was shot while lying down.
Zhuang Long was very innocent. Talking about perfume could also attract fire.
He finally shut up.
Xiao Li suddenly felt that the air in the car was clear and the world was peaceful.
When she arrived at school, it was not yet time for class to end. She still had to wait a few minutes. Xiao Li rolled down the window and took out a cigarette. Just as she lit it, the man beside her suddenly reached out and snatched the cigarette from her hand.
Xiao Li glanced at Zhuang Long.
Zhuang Long said in a non-negotiable tone, âAs long as Iâm beside you once, donât even think about smoking.â
Xiao Li felt that these words were actually quite sweet.
Of course, if Zhuang Long could say this to her before the divorce, she would be even happier.
âIâm addicted to cigarettes,â she said. âWhen donât have anything in my mouth, Iâm not used to it.â
/
Zhuang Long said, âIâll go buy something for you.â
Xiao Li watched as Zhuang Long pushed open the car door and got out before walking into a small supermarket. When he returned, he was carrying a bag. Zhuang Long stuffed the things into Xiao Liâs arms and said, âPick and eat.â
âHa...â
Xiao Liâs smile was ambiguous. Zhuang Long could not guess it anyway.
Xiao Li opened the bag and saw what was inside. Her face darkened. âWhat is it? QQ candy? Frozen soy milk? Little steamed buns...â Xiao Li was quite speechless. She could not help but complain.â These are all for children. I wonât eat these things after Iâm seven years old. â
âThen treat it as reminiscing about your childhood.â
Xiao Li could only pick a small snack that looked like chocolate but had milk inside and eat a few.
One after another, students came out.
There was a school bus parked at the entrance. The children who did not have parents or drivers to pick them up obediently got onto the school bus. When Zhuang Qilin walked out, there was a little girl beside him. That girl was extremely cute. Her eyes were round, her skin was fair, and her legs were quite long.
The two of them looked like friends, but not exactly.
When he saw his motherâs car, Zhuang Qilin bade farewell to his friend and walked over himself. He opened the back door and got in before realizing that Zhuang Long was also there. Zhuang Qilin was a little happy to see Zhuang Long. He greeted his father politely.
It was unknown whose style he inherited, but the child who used to treat Fang Yusheng as a turkey had already grown up. The nine-year-old him paid attention to elegance and etiquette when he did things. It was obvious that he was well-mannered.
Zhuang Long replied loudly and reached out to stroke his hair. When he was done, Zhuang Qilin elegantly fixed his messy hair.
He told his dear father gently, âDad, please donât ruin my hairstyle in the future. Thank you.â
Zhuang Long clenched his fist in the air and agreed guiltily.
The last time he accompanied Zhuang Long to play, he loved Zhuang Qilinâs hair for no reason. Coincidentally, they met Zhuang Qilinâs schoolmate in a restaurant. His image as a child was ruined and he felt that he could not raise his head. After that, he told Zhuang Long about this seriously.
However, Zhuang Long had forgotten.
Xiao Li looked at him with a faint smile. Her gaze seemed to say, âYou, Zhuang Long, have such a day too.â
After picking up the child, Zhuang Long naturally hoped to spend more time with them. He thought about it and said, âLetâs have dinner together.â He paused and said, âAfter dinner, we can shop.â He looked at Xiao Li and added, âThe two of us have never taken Qilin shopping together. What do you think?â
Xiao Li did not agree immediately.
Zhuang Long clenched his fists. He was actually quite embarrassed and was afraid that Xiao Li would reject him.
Seeing that Xiao Li did not reply for a long time, Zhuang Long pretended to be understanding and said, âOf course, itâs fine if youâre not free. Another day... Another day is fine too.â
Xiao Li finally spoke.
âSure.â It was a simple agreement.
Zhuang Long was flattered.
âThen where are we going to eat?â
Xiao Li looked at Zhuang Qilin.
Zhuang Qilin thought about it and said, âLetâs go for a seafood feast. I especially want to eat squid.â
âSure.â
On the way to the dining room, Xiao Li gave the driverâs seat to Zhuang Long. She sat in the front passenger seat and discussed todayâs learning experience with Zhuang Qilin. Zhuang Qilin was especially disciplined in his studies. Even so, Xiao Li still cared about his studies.
Her time was very tight, but she never took away the time to accompany the child.
Zhuang Long drove. When he heard the mother and sonâs conversation, his mood was a little complicated. In the past, he rarely asked Zhuang Qilin about these things. The most he did was to immerse himself in the laboratory and do some wild experiments.
Only then did he realize that he was not qualified as a father.
After the two of them finished speaking, silence returned to the car. Zhuang Long thought of the scene he saw at the school gate and asked Zhuang Qilin, âIs the girl who left the school with you your friend?â
Zhuang Qilin said, âNo, sheâs my admirer.â
âThen what do you think of her?â
Zhuang Qilin said objectively and impartially, âNot bad. Sheâs good-looking, has good grades, and knows how to be polite. Sheâs quite good in all aspects.â
âThen what do you think of her?â
âItâs good to be friends. Itâs not appropriate to be a couple.â
âHey!â Zhuang Long was stunned by the childâs serious answer. He asked Zhuang Qilin in amusement, âWhy not?â
âSomeone like me,â Zhuang Qilin thought for a while and said seriously, âshould find an ordinary girl.â
âWhy?â
âI enjoy the feeling of being watched with admiration. Jessica canât do it. Sheâs too smart. Weâre evenly matched. Thereâs no fun in being together in the future.â When Zhuang Qilin was young, he not only loved to watch Chinese Northeast life dramas, but also some highly rated idol dramas.
He smiled and looked cute. He said, âI want to find a girl like Yuan Xiangqin. Sheâs cute and confused. The key is that I have to be the only man in her world.â
Zhuang Long and Xiao Li looked at each other and realized that Zhuang Qilin was telling the truth.
Xiao Li had no choice but to tell him, âThereâs probably no girl like Yuan Xiangqin in this world.â
Zhuang Qilin frowned, looking very vexed.
After a moment, he asked Zhuang Long, âDad, I heard that youâre researching a simulation uterus?â
âYeah.â
âIf it works, will Uncle Yan and Auntie Yinbing have a baby?â
âYeah.â
He said, âI have a bold idea.â
Zhuang Long roughly guessed what he was thinking.
As expected, Zhuang Qilin really said, âYou must get them a daughter. In the future, Iâll be responsible for raising her as a wife.â Zhuang Qilin thought happily, and did not notice Zhuang Longâs fearful look.
Zhuang Long had no choice but to tell him, âIf you really do that, your Uncle Yan wouldnât mind giving us two bullets.â
