Chapter 49: The rooftop under the night sky

Su Xiaoqiang is very silent today

She was dragged by Lu Mingfei to various places and did not refuse.

She is very quiet, like an exquisite rag doll, allowing her owner to dress her up and play with her, and she will just quietly accompany the owner even if she is taken to the ends of the earth.

She was so silent that Lu Mingfei felt a little scared.

Lu Mingfei did not go home but took her to his former secret place.

Going up from the first floor to the rooftop, there are piles of humming air-conditioning units, messy cardboard boxes and broken motors, as well as unwanted sofas and coffee tables. They are gradually losing the last bit of light left by the twilight, and are as dim as a haunted house.

At the end there is an iron gate with four big words "Rooftop Closed" written on it.

Lu Mingfei looked at Su Xiaoqiang beside him. The girl was still silent, as if she would not resist no matter where he took her.

So, he picked up Su Xiaoqiang by the waist, hugging her in the most gentle way possible, like a princess. The girl looked at his face with a little panic, and her heartbeat quickened instinctively.

Lu Mingfei moved. He stepped on the garbage skillfully and steadily. With one last big leap, he jumped three meters high while holding Su Xiaoqiang, jumped over the tall iron gate, and landed steadily on the rooftop on the other side like a knight, witnessing the last twilight passing away.

Arrived

The most beautiful place at night

He slowly put Su Xiaoqiang down. The girl looked at Lu Mingfei blankly. The feeling of being held and jumping three meters high just now frightened her... But she was not afraid. Instead, she felt a little happy and excited.

"What...is this place?"

Su Xiaoqiang felt the free wind and smelled a hint of the fragrance of locust flowers.

"My secret base. I've never brought anyone here before."

Lu Mingfei smiled brightly. He stood on the edge of the rooftop, looking out at the city in the night. He held Su Xiaoqiang's hand and said, "Be careful. It's dangerous here. Don't fall down."

"Then why did you bring me here?"

Su Xiaoqiang muttered something in a low voice, mustered up her courage and took a step forward. She looked at the city below the rooftop, and an instinctive fear began to spread in her heart.

She held Lu Mingfei's hand tightly, and her legs couldn't stop shaking. She was afraid that she would fall down accidentally. This feeling was very unpleasant, so she took two steps back and pulled Lu Mingfei back one step.

"Be careful."

Su Xiaoqiang whispered softly.

"Ah."

Lu Mingfei walked away from the edge of the rooftop where he used to like to sit, looking dazed. He seemed to see the lonely and isolated self he once was.

He was alone, with nothing to worry about and no one caring about him, as if he was isolated from the world.

At that time, he seemed to be separated from others by an invisible wall. He could see that on the other side of the wall there were children laughing and talking, young people having fun together, old people playing chess leisurely, and all the warmth and happiness.

But these were separated from him by a wall. Lu Mingfei held onto the wall with both hands and got as close as possible to see them. The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became.

But he couldn't get through.

I can only watch...watch...

Just like he once sat on the rooftop, looking at the city below...looking at...

The rooftop had an end, and he could not go forward any further. He could only look at it like this every time. He looked at it day after day, tossing and turning in every lonely night, longing for his own happiness and to reach his own other shore.

Today, a hand pulled him back from the wall and said to him, "What's so good about that? It's so high that it's scary. Only a fool would stay in a place like this, right?"

A familiar voice woke him up. Lu Mingfei looked at the girl beside him and said with a smile, "I don't know who would be so upset just because he accidentally lost a bottle of Wahaha, hahaha!"

"I'm not! I didn't! Stop talking nonsense!"

Su Xiaoqiang blushed and said, "How come you are so familiar with this place? Have you been here often? Aren't you afraid of falling down and dying by accident?"

"look up."

"Ok?"

"The stars at night are so beautiful. I shared the whole night with you." Lu Mingfei looked up at the night sky and said with a smile.

"..."

Su Xiaoqiang looked up at the starry sky, a feeling of romance and happiness spreading in her heart. She had obviously looked at the night sky before, and there had been clearer nights, but those nights had never been as warm as this one.

The stars, like shining elves, were dancing lively in the sky. The slight blurriness became the finishing touch, bringing out countless fantasies in her mind.

The night can be so beautiful

The two of them looked at the night side by side

Feeling the warmth in each other's hands

so good

"what time is it now?"

Su Xiaoqiang suddenly asked.

"Let me see..."

Lu Mingfei took out his cell phone and glanced at the time. It was 8.52:, almost nine o'clock.

broken!

His heart trembled. In the past, he and Su Xiaoqiang would go home after six o'clock, and no later than seven o'clock at the latest. But today, they were already almost nine o'clock and had not returned home.

Su Jiannan must be so anxious!

"Oh~ It's almost nine o'clock."

Su Xiaoqiang smiled, leaned gently against Lu Mingfei, and said, "You are so mean. You took me out so late at night. Who knows what you are thinking? My dad must be worried to death."

"Then go home quickly!"

Lu Mingfei shouted anxiously.

"I do not!"

"What do you want?"

"Hold me, like you did when we came here. I don't want to walk now." Su Xiaoqiang put his hands behind his back, slightly bent his waist, and smiled slyly in the night.

"You....Ah! I really can't do anything about you."

Lu Mingfei walked forward helplessly and hugged Su Xiaoqiang in his arms again. The girl smiled and blinked at him excitedly, with her little hands folded neatly. This was perhaps the most well-behaved and happiest time of her day.

Lu Mingfei turned his head and looked in the direction he came from. The iron gate, which was about two meters high, stood tall. He was stunned for a moment and thought: How did I jump over here holding her? Why don't I remember it?

"hurry up!"

Su Xiaoqiang closed her eyes and squirmed anxiously. The feeling of weightlessness in Lu Mingfei's arms was the most interesting thing she had ever experienced.

"Oh..."

Lu Mingfei gave up thinking and instinctively rushed towards the iron gate, exerting force as before. The energy from his blood burst out and poured into his legs.

He jumped over it, easily, as naturally as breathing.

Lu Mingfei looked at the iron gate behind him and suddenly found that his body seemed not so simple.

perhaps...

Is my SSS-level growth panel real?

Am I really that awesome?

He smiled, and in the night he held the girl in his arms as they rolled and jumped in the corridor, ran on the busy streets, and wantonly spent his youth under the shocked gazes of passers-by. Every drop of his sweat exuded the scent of happiness.

Until he returned home and saw Su Jiannan sitting on the sofa with a whip in his hand, his eyes revealing a murderous and fierce look.

....Can you admit your mistake?

Chapter 50 The Use of Custody

I saw a lion

Real lion

He was just sitting on the sofa, and his majestic and domineering aura naturally dissipated. Wherever his eyes looked, it was his territory. The oppressive feeling that had been nurtured by power for half a lifetime was like a dark cloud hanging over Lu Mingfei's head, blocking out the sky and the sun.

Lu Mingfei was scared and subconsciously held Su Xiaoqiang's hand tightly.

Then, the Lion King became even angrier

"Why did you come back now?"

Su Jiannan's tone was calm, but his voice was loud, powerful and extremely penetrating.

"She was in a bad mood today, so I took her out for a walk to relax her." Lu Mingfei replied.

Su Jiannan looked at him coldly, and also at Su Xiaoqiang beside him. Having been a boss for so many years, he could certainly tell that what Lu Mingfei said was true. He really just took Su Xiaoqiang out to relax tonight.

However, coming home late is not allowed!

Even if Lu Mingfei came back late, he had to report to him in advance. He was a father and a caregiver, and he had the obligation to raise the children. When the children did not come home in time at night, he would naturally feel worried. After all, the two children were only fourteen years old. What if they were abducted? What if they were bullied?

Although Lu Mingfei is very smart, he is just a child after all. There are only so many things he can do, and he is not Superman.

Although Su Xiaoqiang is very smart and sharp, she is just a child and it is entirely possible that she will encounter problems that she cannot refuse with wisdom. What if someone drugs her while she is relaxing in a place like their bar? How to implement safety issues?

Therefore, reporting is necessary!

For the future of Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang, and for the development of the children, Su Jiannan felt that he needed to take out the knight's belt and give the brat a good beating.

After all, he has custody of the child!

The right to education!

This brat really needs an education!

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Su Jiannan asked.

"..."

Lu Mingfei was stunned by the question. Seeing that Su Xiaoqiang was in a bad mood, he subconsciously wanted to take her for a walk to make her feel better. He had never thought about reporting to her parents from the beginning.

At his original aunt's house, no one cared even if he came home late. Of course, if he disturbed his aunt, that guy would still scold him.

Scolding in the name of education

Therefore, Lu Mingfei had no intention of reporting to his parents from the beginning. This was an inevitable situation caused by the family situation in which he was raised.

"Why don't you say it? Have you forgotten that I am Su Xiaoqiang's father? Have you forgotten that I am your foster parent? What do you regard the protection of adults as? "

Su Jiannan stared at Lu Mingfei and asked questions. His unquestionable authority was terrifying, but underneath this majesty was care, which was completely different from the abuse that his aunt had used before in the name of education to let him vent his desires.

Now....do I have anyone in charge?

It's different from before...

Lu Mingfei remained silent, unable to turn a deaf ear to the scolding of his elders as he did before. The feeling of being cared for and worried about surged in his heart, amplifying Su Jiannan's voice and making it echo.

"Dad, he did this for me..." Su Xiaoqiang stood in front of Lu Mingfei and looked straight at Su Jiannan, still as stubborn and tenacious as before.

"That's not the point!"

Su Jiannan interrupted her and stood up. The huge height difference gave him a stronger sense of oppression than before. He continued, "After school, if you want to go somewhere to relieve your worries and relax, I can understand and even let you do it."

"But! This is based on the fact that you told me in advance, so that I could be mentally prepared and ready to take you home at any time. You are my child, and he is also the child I am raising now. It is my duty as an adult to protect your safety and watch you grow up healthily."

"My anger does not come from you not listening to me or not coming home on time at night, but because your behavior is too much and beyond my control, which makes me fail in my duty as a parent. The more I think about your situation, the more worried and scared I become. After all... you are all my children."

After that, Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang were silent.

The child who made the mistake lowered his head in silence, not daring to look at the parents who were not scolding him but simply giving him reason.

Unreasonable scolding will to a certain extent arouse children's rebellious psychology, especially girls like Su Xiaoqiang, but Su Jiannan's words were reasonable and well-founded, so she could only lower her head, listen, and reflect on the mistakes she had made.

Seeing that both children knew they were wrong, Su Jiannan let out a sigh of relief. He picked up the belt beside him and stared at Lu Mingfei in front of him. The latter raised his head and looked at Su Jiannan.

Suddenly, Su Jiannan smiled

Lu Mingfei was stunned

Then, the originally solemn and majestic lion suddenly lost his composure. Holding his belt, he quickly walked towards Lu Mingfei with a wanton smile on his face, and said, “You little bastard, I’ve wanted to beat you up for a long time! Haha! Finally I got the chance! Hahahaha!”
