Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

Chapter 252 Xiaoxi, Dad is Back (Please Read~)

Chen Chen's face flushed slightly, and he quickly cleared his throat and said:
"No, I just think you look particularly good today."

After hearing this, Lin Muxi's cheeks flushed slightly, like peach blossoms brushed by the spring breeze, delicate and beautiful.

She bit her lips lightly and said deliberately:

"Hearing what you said, Senior, I'm not pretty on a normal day, am I?"

When Chen Chen heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly responded:

"No, no, you are always beautiful in my eyes no matter what day it is, and every day you are beautiful in a different way."

Lin Muxi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a playful and satisfied smile: "That's about right."

"..."

The two chatted back and forth, and before they knew it, it was late at night.

The moonlight outside the window shines through the mottled leaves, casting patches of silver light and shadow, as if adding a romantic atmosphere to this warm scene.

Occasionally a breeze blew by, bringing a slight chill, but it did not affect their immersion in each other's world at all.

After an unknown amount of time, a hint of sleepiness gradually appeared in Lin Muxi's eyes, and his eyelids began to twitch.

Seeing this, Chen Chen said distressedly: "Go to sleep if you are tired. You have to get up early for class tomorrow."

Lin Muxi shook his head gently and muttered: "I don't want to hang up, I want to see you for a while longer."

I couldn't touch it, so I wanted to take a closer look.

However, despite her efforts to stay spirited, the fatigue in her voice became increasingly apparent.

Chen Chen smiled helplessly and coaxed softly:
"Be good, go to sleep. We can meet when you wake up. Besides, I can't run away."

Lin Muxi hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, saying with a hint of reluctance:
"Well then, senior, you should go to bed early too."

"Okay, I understand. Good night." Chen Chen said.

"Good night……"

Lin Muxi's voice became softer and softer, and in the video call, she slowly closed her eyes.

There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, as if the beautiful moment was continuing in her dream.

Chen Chen stared quietly at her who had fallen asleep on the screen, his eyes soft and focused.

The dim light from the screen shone on his face, outlining his well-defined profile.

Several times, his fingers unconsciously moved towards the button to hang up the video. He was torn between his conscience and his desires, but in the end he gave up the idea and decided to leave the video on.

Video till dawn, it seems I haven’t tried it yet.

Now is the perfect time to try this feeling.

After making the decision, Chen Chen lay down on the bed with his phone in his arms and turned on the bedside lamp.

The dim light spread instantly, adding a warm and quiet atmosphere to the entire room.

Although the two are in different places at the moment, separated from each other,

But through video connection, it is as if there is an invisible bond that ties the two hearts tightly together, making them feel that they have never been separated from each other.

……

On the other side, when Lin Haotian returned home from work, it was already early in the morning.

The whole city was immersed in a silent slumber, with only the sparse street lights on the roadside emitting faint light.

Lin Muxi had already been smiling sweetly in her sleep, completely unaware of her father's return.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Wang Ma came out of the room. Seeing the person coming, she was stunned for a moment and then said:

"Sir, you're back." The voice was not loud, but it was particularly clear in the quiet night.

Lin Haotian was slightly startled. He looked up and saw Wang Ma and responded softly, "Wang Ma, why are you still awake so late?"

Aunt Wang said with a gentle smile on her face:
"I'm old, and I always wake up at night to go to the bathroom. I just heard the door open, so I came out to check. I didn't expect it was you back."

After a pause, Wang Ma asked with concern, "Sir, have you had dinner?"

Lin Haotian waved his hand, his voice a little tired: "I'm not hungry, you should go to sleep."

Wang Ma nodded and replied, "Yes, sir. If you get hungry at night, just call me. Don't starve yourself."

Lin Haotian nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.

Mother Wang turned around gently and went back to her room with light steps.

Lin Haotian did not go directly to his room, but hesitated for a moment.

He looked in the direction of Lin Muxi's room, his eyes filled with complex emotions, including guilt, longing, and a hint of helplessness.

Finally, he slowly moved and walked towards Lin Muxi's room.

This winter vacation, for various reasons, he only met his daughter once.

As soon as we met, he had to go abroad urgently for work.

After finally finishing his overseas business, he hurried back, but after meeting her, he immediately started working overtime.

When I got home after finishing everything, my daughter was already asleep.

Lin Haotian gently pushed open the door of Lin Muxi's room, his movements extremely gentle, for fear of disturbing his sleeping daughter.

The room was filled with a faint scent of lavender, which was the aromatherapy scent that Lin Muxi liked, soft and soothing.

With the faint moonlight coming in from the window, Lin Haotian saw his daughter lying quietly on the bed, with the quilt half covering her body. Her face looked particularly peaceful in the moonlight, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she was having a beautiful dream.

Lin Haotian walked quietly to the bedside, slowly squatted down, and gazed at his daughter with gentle and affectionate eyes.

His eyes were full of love and pity, and he gently raised his hand, wanting to touch his daughter's face.

Finally, he was afraid of waking her up, so he held his hand in the air and hesitated for a moment, before finally gently placing it on Lin Muxi's hair. His fingers slowly slid down the hair, his movements as light as a feather.

"Xiaoxi, Dad is back..."

His voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, as if he was afraid of breaking the tranquility of the moment.

Memories flooded back like a tide. The older my daughter gets, the more she looks like her mother.

It's just a pity...

Thinking of what happened that year, his heart was filled with guilt and his eyes were slightly red.

At this time, Lin Muxi seemed to feel his father's presence. He moved slightly in his sleep, frowned slightly, and mumbled something incoherently.

Lin Haotian's heart tightened, and he quickly comforted her softly:

"Xiaoxi, don't be afraid, Dad is back..."

As if hearing her father's voice, Lin Muxi gradually calmed down and returned to her sweet sleeping state.

Lin Haotian squatted quietly beside the bed, accompanying his daughter, and he didn't know how long it had been.

He felt that this moment was extremely precious. His heart, which was usually filled with work, was now filled with love and guilt for his daughter.

Finally, he stood up, carefully tucked the quilt for his daughter, left a light kiss on her forehead, and whispered:

"Xiaoxi, Dad will spend more time with you in the future."

I don’t know if it’s Lin Haotian’s illusion, but he always feels that the time he can spend with his daughter will become less and less.
