Chapter 18 Why Is It Him

Just when the three of them were at a stalemate, Xiao Mo's antique cell phone rang.She broke away from Su Yang's hand expressionlessly and picked up the phone.

"Baby, what happened to the phone call just now?"

"Dad, I'm back in N city, come pick me up." It was the first time she spoke to her father like this, without being coquettish, shameless, or even emotional.

"I came back early, then you wait at the airport, Dad will drive to pick you up..."

She clenched her fists violently and interrupted him without leaving any room: "I'm in the 'original home'."

The original home, these four ironic words were almost squeezed out from between Xiao Mo's teeth, and every word was held back so loudly.

Outside the six-story residential building two kilometers away from the central garden community, the Lin family father and daughter were silent to each other.

Xiao Mo's complexion sank, and he half leaned on the cumbersome suitcase, scrutinizing the scene in front of him carefully - the wall covered with advertisements for clearing the sewers extended from the door of the dirty unit, and the door was still open on a windless summer evening. It looked crumbling, and there was a rusty iron number plate hanging directly above the door, telling the visitor with illegible handwriting that this was Unit [-].In the corner of the door, there is a cat that was abandoned by someone lying quietly. The cat's tail is covered with a funny banana peel.

For some reason, she suddenly had an unreal feeling. She only felt that she was dreaming, a nightmare.

Seeing his daughter's increasingly ugly face, Lin Wenjun, who was silent all the way, finally couldn't help but say, "Xiao Mo, actually, Dad..."

"How long were you planning to keep it from me?" Once some words were thrown out, they couldn't be easily concluded, "Do you know that I was like a fool thinking about what surprise I would come back one day earlier for you, and stood like a fool." I waited outside my original home for the whole afternoon, and my friend... oh no, not my friend now, was carried into his home by my classmate like a cat cub like a fool, my original home .Why do you just..."

She choked up suddenly, bit her lower lip tightly, and didn't let go of her clenched fist for a moment. Her nails were almost embedded in her palms, which was painful.

Is it because he was mentioned?Su Yang, the boy she put so much expectation into.

"Xiao Mo," Lin Wenjun looked at his daughter desperately holding back tears, feeling so guilty that he didn't know what to say, "Go upstairs first, let's talk about it when we get home."

She just lowered her head and let her father lead her like a puppet with a broken neck, or dragged her forward, and even from the beginning to the end, she never cared whether she was moving forward or backward .

His footsteps were like stepping on the soft grass, his thoughts were like floating in a strange world of nothingness, Xiao Mo stepped into the dilapidated new home almost unconsciously.When she regained her senses, she couldn't even tell which floor of the small building this was.

Sucking her sore nose and blinking her eyes hard, she finally drove away the sudden surge of bloody tears.Annoyedly throwing the satchel and flip flops on the light gray floor tiles, Xiao Mo walked around the small but tidy room on the pair of bright yellow SpongeBob SquarePants slippers that he was fairly familiar with.

Although this house is less than half the size of the original home, for many ordinary families, a south-facing two-room house with sunshine all day is reasonable.She doesn't mind the size of her new home, what really bothers her is actually just...

While Xiao Mo looked around in silence, Lin Wenjun, who loved his daughter eagerly, wanted to explain something several times, but finally gave up hesitantly.

After patrolling around for more than ten minutes, Xiao Mo finally returned to the door, made a face at his father who had not moved for a long time, pulled his clothes and said, "Now I should be able to listen carefully to some explanations." If you guessed correctly, you should have lost to that guy Su Yang's father?"

"Baby, you have grown up, and Dad doesn't want to hide anything from you." He hugged his daughter's shoulders as before, and led her into the room lovingly, and the two sat side by side on the edge of the soft single bed. It is so serious that you need to adopt the previous house because this time the matter is not as simple as losing your job. Xiao Mo, you have to remember that in this society, the only applicable rule of survival is to make yourself stronger."

"The strong prey on the weak?" She naturally remembered what Su Yang's father said in the afternoon.

"..." He didn't answer her question directly, but said, "Actually, Dad can see that you and Su Yang should be good friends. The things between the elders have nothing to do with you in the final analysis, baby, don't worry about it." .”

Xiao Mo was stunned when he heard the words, for a moment he didn't know how to react.Was her reaction to Su Yang really that obvious?
After searching in her mind for a long time and still unable to hold back a word, she finally decided to change the subject wisely: "By the way, when will Mommy come home?"

"She'll probably come back later." Lin Wenjun's voice showed no emotion, "What would you like to have for dinner? Dad will cook for you today."

"It's so good!" Lin Xiaomo's reputation as a "foodie" wasn't something she boasted, and she almost hoped to serve it immediately, "The braised eggplant, sweet and sour pork ribs, meatball vermicelli soup..."

After reporting the name of the dish without stopping for half a minute, she looked at her father with bright eyes, with a greedy look on her face.But Lin Wenjun just smiled dotingly, then rubbed Xiao Mo's weird head, without saying anything more.

He turned around and took the wallet and car keys, and Xiao Mo said to him with a smile and nonsense: "Dad, don't fight with other children when you go out, and don't eat the candy given to you by strangers!"

"Little girl, do you still want to have a big meal?"

She immediately raised her hands in surrender and pretended to be innocent: "Father, I really know that I was wrong, you go, go."

She maintained this half-stupid posture for a full 3 minutes, until there was a "clang" sound of closing the door outside the bedroom.The old anti-theft door of the new home suddenly became a solid barrier made of metal.

Inside the door, a room sighs; outside the door, there is a long sigh.

As the sound of steady and rhythmic footsteps in the corridor faded away, Lin Xiaomo got up and began to pack his luggage.

She inspected the two rooms back and forth several times, but only found two narrow wardrobes, and one of them was already full of her parents' clothes.Looking at the neatly stacked dresses of various colors in the suitcase, Xiao Mo frowned somewhat at a loss.

After struggling for a long time, she only picked out a few cool-colored chiffon skirts and placed them in the closet. Looking at the cool-colored dresses, she suddenly felt that this summer was not as hot and dry as expected.

Glancing at the silent air conditioner hanging in the uppermost corner of the bedroom, Xiao Mo couldn't help shivering.If the air conditioner is cooling right now, the room will be very cold, she thought.

There is no dressing table in the bedroom, so bottles of skin care products can only be squeezed together with a copy of "The Kite Runner" on the not spacious bedside table.However, the advantage of being crowded is that even skin care products can fully absorb the elegant fragrance of books and ink that are only a few centimeters apart.

When Xiao Mo finally arranged the necessities of life for the next month, Lin Wenjun happened to open the door with the ingredients he had just bought.She looked up from the living room, and clearly saw the bitter and helpless expression of forbearance on her father's face before he smiled.

She is no longer a child, and she actually understands what this combination of expressions and smiles means.Maybe it's because I have been closer to my father since I was a child, maybe it's because my mother said to her one day before the final exam, "It's all my fault", or maybe it's just because I haven't seen her since I returned to N City, Xiao Mo has no idea Unknowingly, I instinctively attribute many suspected negative factors to - she is not good.

Accompanied by this is the distress for my father.
