Zhutian: Since I was a child, I have been happy to be a father

April 1998.

Zhijiang University, Linhu Square.

On Qizhen Lake, the breeze is gentle and the water is calm.

A country girl with twin ponytails sat down next to Chen Tao. After a while, she hesitated and whispered:
"Shiyong, I, I'm pregnant, it's your child..."

'Of course it's mine, but I didn't do it!'

Chen Tao sighed inwardly.

He crossed again.

The current world has evolved from "So Young".

And his identity is that cowardly little scumbag, Zhao Shiyong.

The reason why it wasn't someone else was naturally because he cheated on his wife and got this country girl next to him pregnant, so that Chen Tao could be the father.

It’s a pity that it won’t last long!
After all, she is still in school, so she can't just give birth to the child! Actually, she can give birth to the child, but compared to this girl, the hose, no, Ruan Guan, is more suitable for Chen Tao.

Because she loves Xiao Yongyong so much, she can forgive him even if something like this happens.

This way, it would be very easy for Chen Tao to complete the system's tasks...

Well, okay, the system didn't give any other tasks this time. It just said, "Your youth is too ordinary," and then perfunctorily gave a time limit task: stay for twenty years.

So Chen Tao should not blame the system for being a scumbag, but take the blame on himself!

Seeing that Chen Tao said nothing and had a confused expression on his face, as if he was so shocked by the accident that he was at a loss as to what to do and thus activated the body's self-protection mechanism, the country girl Tan Xiaojing couldn't help but feel very sad.

If she had known this, she would have accepted Xiao Yongyong's comfort instead of fighting with him in bed. She really regretted it.

With tears in her eyes, she pushed Chen Tao with her elbow and sobbed, "Shiyong, I want to abort this child."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Tao also found a fishing spot on the other side of the river, so his temperament immediately changed. He reached out and hugged the country girl into his arms, and comforted her softly:

"Go ahead and fight! I'll call home to get the money. But there's one thing. I already have a girlfriend. After the fight, you're not allowed to come to see me again."

Tan Xiaojing was stunned. What happened to Xiao Yongyong? It was not like him to say such words!

Well, that's not really the point.

Tan Xiaojing was jealous: "We are all like this, and you are still thinking about your girlfriend? Where is she? Can she be better than me?"

In the original novel, Zhao Shiyong and Ruan Guan were high school classmates and fell in love early on.

Later, with the intervention of his parents, Zhao Shiyong maintained his grades and stayed in Zhijiang to study at a key national university...

That is naturally Zhijiang University.

However, Ruan Guan, who was too love-sick, had a lower grade in academic performance and went to Jinling to study at Nanjing University of Science and Technology.

Tan Xiaojing is also well educated, so in this era, she naturally has a bright future.

So what she said was not really what she believed.

Chen Tao said firmly: "Of course she is better. If I tell her the truth and tell her that I accidentally cheated on you and got you pregnant, she will forgive me. If it were you, would you forgive me?"

Tan Xiaojing was surprised and asked, "Can such a thing be forgiven?"

Chen Tao nodded affirmatively, then reached out and touched her belly.

Tan Xiaojing did not dodge, but was very obedient, sobbing softly:

"Shiyong~Since you don't want to be with me, then our child must be aborted."

Chen Tao comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll call back after lunch and ask my dad for money."

Do you have to be so decisive?

After all, we had a one-night stand. Couldn't you hesitate? I'm pregnant with your own flesh and blood!
Tan Xiaojing was both depressed and confused.

After all, in her impression, this man was fussy and indecisive.

Why is there such a big change today?
Could it be that he grew up all of a sudden after becoming a father?

A quarter of an hour later.

Chen Tao stood up and walked along Dichen Road with Tan Xiaojing towards the cafeteria in the north.

On the way, Chen Tao was not idle either. He learned about Tan Xiaojing's family situation and social relationships.

Generally speaking, apart from her excellent academic performance, she is average in other aspects.

The reason she cried at the last party was because she broke up with her boyfriend and had been drinking. After being comforted by the handsome guy Zhao Shiyong, she got over it in a daze.

After all, her appearance is indeed quite ordinary. Her temperament is also very rustic. If she meets a scumbag, she will be easily abandoned.

It is worth mentioning that it was her first time that night and she got pregnant on the first try. This meant she had a very good pregnancy luck.

In the cafeteria, seeing Chen Tao eating slowly and calmly, as if the child had been aborted, Tan Xiaojing couldn't help but say:

"Shiyong, I feel like you're different than before."

Chen Tao smiled and asked:

"What's the difference? Since that night, we haven't met many times, right? Do you really know what kind of person I am?"

When Tan Xiaojing heard this, she felt it made sense and asked directly:
"In my opinion, you are not a decisive person. When you heard that I was pregnant, you would be very panicked and not so calm."

Chen Tao admitted, "I was indeed very fussy, weak and a mama's boy before, but everyone grows up. Now that I know my shortcomings, I will work hard to correct them. If this accident happened before, I wouldn't even have the courage to ask my dad for money, and I would probably have to ask my girlfriend for money. But now I won't be so irresponsible. I will contact my dad and confess to my girlfriend. If I make a mistake, I have to admit it. As long as I sincerely change my ways, I can accept any result."

Tan Xiaojing nodded repeatedly, and after Chen Tao finished speaking, she asked curiously:
"What does mama's boy mean?"

Chen Tao explained with a smile: "As the name suggests, he is a mother's baby. No matter what happens, he listens to his mother and does not put his girlfriend or wife first."

Tan Xiaojing said "oh" and felt that this word was quite appropriate.

She then complained: "You said you don't have the courage to confess to your father. Then where do you get the courage to tell your girlfriend?"

"Didn't I tell you? Even if I cheated on her, as long as I didn't abandon her, she would still love me; even if I didn't want her, she would forgive me."

What Chen Tao said was not an exaggeration at all, because Ruan Guan was such a love-brained person.

"Alas...I..."

Tan Xiaojing has a lot of ideas about Xiao Yongyong now, but she doesn't think she can be his girlfriend.

So, let’s fight first!
After the fight, she will just find another honest man.

At 11:35, the two finished their lunch.

Chen Tao didn't delay for a moment and took Tan Xiaojing to the public telephone booth to call his cheap dad to get his gold coins.

Zhao's father worked in the government office and happened to be drinking tea in the office at this time. "Dad, it's me."

"Shiyong? Have you eaten yet? Why are you calling me now? What's the matter?"

"It's like this. I accidentally got a female classmate pregnant. Please send me 5,000 yuan so that I can handle this matter."

"..."

Father Zhao was completely confused. Was the person on the other end of the phone really his son?
How could his son say such a thing so frankly?
"Why, it's inconvenient? Then I'll go find my mom."

Chen Tao asked Lao Zhao for money not because he was incapable of earning enough medical expenses in a short period of time.

It's just that the way I get along with my family is destined to change in the future, and now is a good time to give Lao Zhao a shot of prevention.

"Wait a minute, you really didn't lie to me? You really want this money to help your female classmate get an abortion? And not to use it for other purposes?"

"Besides this, we have to give her nutrition and compensation! Hurry up, the sooner we do this, the better! You and mom don't want me to get married with a child and marry a daughter-in-law you don't approve of, right?"

"You, why... Hey! When you were in high school, you had a premature love affair with a female classmate, and now you are, why can't you learn something good? Are you going to make me die of anger before you are satisfied?"

"I'm almost 21, so it's weird for me to go find a woman? I was just careless and didn't take precautions, so an accident happened. Isn't that normal? Don't worry, I'll be more careful next time."

"No, I'm worried. I want to go see you."

"Of course you can come see me, but you can only come over later because the girl doesn't want to meet her parents right now."

"If I don't go and see it with my own eyes, how can you make me believe that this is true? What if you lied and spent so much money recklessly?"

"Alright! Since you don't even believe in your own son, then I don't want him anymore. Don't come over here. I'll sell my blood and kidneys. I'll have money anyway."

After saying that, Chen Tao, the filial son, hung up the phone.

"Shiyong, Shiyong, Xiaoyong..."

Father Zhao shouted twice and quickly called back.

Chen Tao pretended to be impatient: "Don't you believe me? Why are you looking for me? From childhood to adulthood, what have I not listened to you about? Under your education, I have become a useless person without my own opinion. Because my opinions, whether right or wrong, are never accepted by you, gradually I have been completely domesticated by you. I want to do something, which is obviously not excessive, but I always think first, will this thing make you unhappy? In the end, I always suppress myself, give up doing this thing, and don't even mention it. Now I have figured it out, this is just a fuss for the sake of mediocrity. I obviously have the ability to do what I like and date the people I love, so why should I care about your opinions? Can I not live without you? Don't give me the money, I can handle it myself. You don't have to worry about my future life, I will control it myself."

After speaking rapidly, he hung up the phone again.

This time he didn't wait by the side, but took Tan Xiaojing away.

Again, asking for money is just a means to change the relationship, not the end.

Mr. Zhao called the number several times but no one answered. Worried and helpless, he called his son's dormitory directly.

Still no one answered.

In a hurry, he contacted his wife and informed her of the matter.

When Zhao's mother heard this, she became anxious and wanted to leave immediately, but was persuaded by Zhao's father.

He felt that he couldn't act too hastily, lest the conflict escalate. He decided to wait until his beloved son calmed down before having a good chat.

Mother Zhao said angrily, "It's all your fault! Shiyong wants money, just give it to him! Such a big thing happened, how anxious is he now? And you're still asking this and that! You're just used to being flattered by those people, and you use the same tactics at work on your son! I tell you, if anything happens to Shiyong, I won't forgive you!"

Father Zhao was also unhappy and said, "You still have the nerve to criticize me? It would have been Shiyong who contacted me first, otherwise the person he just accused would be you!"

Mother Zhao stamped her feet and said, "Xiaoyong won't have any problem with me. If he wants money, I will definitely give it to him directly!"

Father Zhao said angrily, "Okay, call him tonight and send him the money. I won't care about him anymore! From now on, he can do whatever he wants!"

He would just accept it if he was contradicted by others or criticized by his superiors.

But doesn’t he have any dignity when his own son treats him so harshly?

But after calming down and thinking about his son's situation, he also felt that he had indeed done something wrong.

In this case, he should really realize the seriousness of the problem and actively deal with it for his son instead of doubting him.

At least this kind of suspicion cannot be expressed directly.

Alas, that was a mistake.

It was around two in the afternoon, on the way to class at the Civil Engineering College in the west.

Tan Xiaojing whispered: "Yong, you really don't need so much money. Besides, I will pay you back in the future."

She is also proud and does not put herself in the position of being given charity.

Zhao Shiyong played with her, so why didn't she also play with Xiao Yongyong?

Xiao Yongyong is fair and handsome, a typical handsome boy, much better than her ex-boyfriend.

But this matter was a scandal and she was too embarrassed to tell her family.

Upon hearing this, Chen Tao ignored the curious looks from the people around him, put his arm around Tan Xiaojing's shoulders and said:

"Why are you being so polite to me? The child is half mine. Shouldn't I help his mother to get enough nutrition, take good care of her body, and start studying as soon as possible?"

His words were harsh, but it was obvious that the two elders would not ignore him, so they would definitely pay the money.

In fact, Zhao's mother had already gone to the post office.

Five thousand yuan is not a small sum these days, but for the Zhao family, it is no pressure at all.

Tan Xiaojing looked hesitant, still feeling something was wrong: "But, but, this is not your fault."

Chen Tao thought about it and suggested seriously:
"If you feel bad, you can do me a small favor."

Tan Xiaojing perked up: "What do you want me to do? Just tell me and I will definitely help you."

Chen Tao looked around and whispered in her ear:
"I am also a new father, but now that I don't want a child, no one will call me dad. So can you call me for him? In exchange, I will call you mom on his behalf~"

Tan Xiaojing trembled all over, even her legs went weak, she felt so abnormal.

But looking at Chen Tao's face, which was still serious, he felt that he was thinking too much and was too impure.

After walking seven or eight meters, she finally got close to Chen Tao's ear and called softly:
"Dad~"

Chen Tao sighed and a sad look appeared on his face.

Of course he was pretending. But if this child was his own... then he definitely wouldn't want to give it up.

When Tan Xiaojing saw his deep affection, she almost didn't want to fight anymore.

If he could marry me and stop associating with his girlfriend, then why couldn't I study and raise the children at the same time?

Handsome guy, good family, high education...

What more could one ask for? (End of this chapter)
