Disappeared for five years, my ex-girlfriend's house is in my posthumous photo

It is probably the first time for the daughter to eat the meals she cooked, and she doesn't want to ruin his father's face.

These words instead aroused Lin Yi's desire to tease Taozi.

He propped his elbows on the dining table, moved a little closer to Taozi, and asked with a smile, "Is it the delicious food cooked by Dad, or the delicious food cooked by Mom?"

This question is so classic, it is the same as choosing between father and mother.

However, Lin Yi's problem was not for Chu Xiangrou to choose his father or mother.

Just choose who cooks delicious food.

It stands to reason that children should all say "it's all delicious"...

But unexpectedly, Chu Tao obviously hesitated.

"Uh..." As if he couldn't bear to hit Lin Yi, he pursed his lips and smiled, blinking his big eyes, and asked cautiously, "Can I be honest? Actually, it's better to cook with mom. "

Lin Yi: "..."

When Chu Tao hesitated, he knew the result.

But Lin Yi is also self-aware. After all, Chu Xiangrou cooks and eats for a full month, and it is really delicious.

There were many things that Chu Xiangrou didn't know how to do before, but Lin Yi was by her side to help.

That little girl who couldn't even unscrew the bottle cap can now wield a spatula, it's unbelievable to think about it.

But as a mother, raising children alone, these skills are definitely essential.

Looking at Chu Tao's fleshy little face, and recalling Chu Xiangrou's thin figure, he knew that Chu Xiangrou gave Chu Tao all the good things.

......

After dinner, the father and daughter nestled on the sofa and started watching TV.

What was shown on the TV was Peggy Pig, which Lin Yi would never watch.

If it was in the past, Lin Yi would definitely jump off the platform immediately when he saw this "humming, hahaha" pink piggy.

But this time, watching it with Chu Tao, I inexplicably followed it.

Little did he notice that the sky outside had gradually darkened.

Lin Yi looked up at the time.

"It's eight o'clock, Tao Zi, we should..."

However, he didn't finish his sentence.

"Clap" sound.

The lights in the house went out instantly.

It seemed to merge with the night outside.

"what--"

The daughter screamed next to her.

In the next second, I felt a villain getting into my arms like this.

Her arms tightly wrapped around Lin Yi's neck, and she lay on her body.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Lin Yi raised his hand to touch his daughter's head, and patted his back with one hand.

"Okay, let's go to sleep."

As Lin Yi said, he stood up holding Tao Zi.

Since it was still brightly put down one second, it fell into darkness the next second, and Lin Yi is not used to it yet.

Only when the eyes gradually got used to it did they find the way.

At this time, the little man in his arms said, "Dad, there are candles under the coffee table."

"Okay, I'll look for it."

Lin Yi said, first put Chu Tao back on the sofa.

Chu Tao was afraid of the dark, even when she sat back on the sofa, she still held Lin Yi's arm tightly.

Lin Yi could only be held by her with one hand, while the other was groping under the coffee table.

There are quite a lot of candles under the coffee table, and it seems that there are frequent power outages, so Chu Xiangrou always keeps them at home.

After all, it is an old community, and the circuit must be in disrepair.

Lin Yi now became more determined to let Chu Xiangrou and Chu Tao move out.

From the pile of candles, take out a few candles and a few candlesticks.

I ordered one on the coffee table first.

Borrowing the light from this one, I went to the bathroom and lit another one.

Think about it.

I have the habit of waking up at night, worried that Taozi would also have this habit, so I lighted one between the bathroom and Chutao's room.

Chu Tao's room happened to be next to the kitchen, so it was convenient to get up and drink water.

The brightness of a single candle is not strong in this spacious space.

Worried that Chu Tao could not see clearly, Lin Yi lit another one and put it beside him.

"Well, the brightness is indeed enough."

"It's just... a little weird."

Lin Yi followed the candle and looked up.

The position where these two candles are placed is right in front of his posthumous photo.

Two candles, plus my own photo.

No matter how you look at it, it feels a little weird...

Lin Yi shook his head and decided to ignore it.

Anyway, it's your own photo, just treat it as an ordinary photo.

The light of the candles filled the room.

Gradually, Chu Tao was no longer afraid.

She let go of Lin Yi's hand and immediately ran back to her room.

When she came out again, she saw a pillow in her arms.

"...Daddy, can I sleep with you?"

"Okay." Lin Yi smiled.

"Then let's go to sleep in Mom's room. Mom's bed is bigger than mine."

"But what if Mom doesn't let Dad sleep in her room?" Lin Yi said pretending to be distressed.

Chu Tao grabbed her father's hand and dragged her directly to her mother's bedroom.

While tugging, imitating the tone of an adult, he said, "Don't worry, if Mom calls Dad, I'll say I made it!"

Lin Yi laughed out loud.

"Okay, if mom gets angry then, Taozi will help dad stop mom."

"Don't worry! Leave it to Tao Zi!"

Chu Tao looked like a little adult, patted her chest and said swearingly.

......

Even if it was the first time to sleep with her father, Chu Tao didn't feel any distance from her father at all.

On the contrary, he still held Lin Yi's hand tightly.

Maybe it's because her father is by her side, Chu Tao is no longer afraid of the dark, her eyelids are getting heavier and her breathing is getting more and more even.

Soon fell asleep.

But at this time Lin Yi couldn't fall asleep.

This was Lin Yi's first time sleeping in a girl's room.

Not to mention Chu Xiangrou's room.

There was still the smell of Chu Xiangrou on the pillow.

It's that fresh and gentle scent.

It's not that Lin Yi is abnormal, it's that this smell is too familiar.

Lin Yi's memories were easily brought back.

Because Chu Tao was holding his hand, Lin Yi didn't dare to turn over, for fear of waking her up.

I can only keep lying flat, trying to get myself to sleep as soon as possible, but lying on this bed, I can't fall asleep no matter what, on the contrary the whole person is extraordinarily energetic.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yi tilted his head and glanced at Chu Tao.

found her sound asleep. (Qian Zhao)

The hand was slowly withdrawn from her small hand.

Although the little girl fell asleep, her hands were unexpectedly tight.

Lin Yi could only pull out his hand little by little, then got up slowly, put on his slippers, and walked very lightly.

Walking out of the bedroom, Lin Yi gently closed the door.

There was a sense of relief.

He was going to go into the kitchen for a drink of water.

However, passing through the living room and approaching Chu Tao's room, she almost jumped when she tilted her head.

This black and white photo of myself is here, and there are two candles in front, it is really very weird!

"No, I have to take this photo down today, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well tonight."

Lin Yi muttered, just about to take down the photo.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his hand, he heard a rustling sound outside the door.

Then, there was the sound of a key poking into the lock again.

"Crack-knock-"

"Chu Xiangrou is back?" Lin Yi muttered, "Chu Xiangrou is back so early?"

.....

At this time, Chen Jie and Chu Kangsheng were standing outside the door.

One held the key, the other a flashlight.

"Why is the power outage in this broken building again?" Chen Jie said dissatisfied.

Chu Kangsheng squinted his eyes, his head was on the verge of locking the door, trying to align the key with the lock.

Then he couldn't help complaining, "This broken lock is the same, and it should be replaced. It's really hard to open the door."

"When Xiaorou comes back, let her change to a better house. This crappy house is really not safe at all."

"Squeak-"

The door opened.

The old couple went in while complaining.

"I don't know if Tao Zi slept or not..."

Chen Jie hasn't finished speaking yet.

The old couple looked up into the house.

Candles were lit inside the house.
