Chapter 108

"Why did you choose me?"

Planning to wait for Ren Zhaoyuan to pick up people after dinner, Tan Zheng and Tan Shu didn't go home directly after coming out of the planetarium. They had dinner nearby and drove to the star observation platform.

The weather is good, there are many stars, and the sky is full of light and dark.

Tan Shu was watching the stars through an astronomical telescope that he had moved outside on a special trip. Tan Zheng stood by the observatory and raised his phone to take a photo.

To Ren Zhaoyuan.

miss him.

【Where did you go to play? 】

Tan Zheng showed a bit of a smile on his face: [at the Observatory];

【The stars are good tonight】

【I'm missing you】

Ren Zhaoyuan didn't return for a while, so Tan Zheng took the phone to look at the stars, and when there was a vibration in his palm, he picked it up and looked at it, Ren Zhaoyuan took a photo of him - a honey-colored hibiscus flower on a white porcelain plate, as if using a A core carved from an apple.

There is a small round candy on the side, it should be eaten.

Ren Zhaoyuan is very willing to eat some sweet dishes, but he doesn't really like to eat sweet dishes. He basically only tastes two bites of such pure sweet dishes, and the more he eats, the more tired he will be.

Tan Zheng guessed that he didn't want to eat the rest of the flower, and didn't guess the next sentence that followed.

[Mr. Tan coaxes people to be sweeter than flowers]

Tan Zheng lowered his eyes and typed: [Teacher Ren taught well];

"dad!"

Tan Zheng gave Tan Shu his attention and followed his line of sight to the other side.

"I want glow-in-the-dark balloons."

The Star Observatory is far away from the place where Ren Zhaoyuan had dinner. This team often cooperates with AL. Ren Zhaoyuan has eaten with them several times, and it usually ends in about two and a half hours. Now go over there and wait for ten minutes.

"Let's go, I'll pick you up as Dad after buying."

"it is good!"

When got down from the other side, found that there were many people selling glow sticks and balloons. It was very attractive to children on the side of the road leading to the parking lot in the first district. As soon as Tan Shu came over, he went straight to the big head he liked. Ultraman to go.

"Buy one for your father, too."

Tan Shu was in trouble. He looked up for a while and didn't know what to buy. When Tan Zheng called in, he said to Tan Shu, "I'll answer the phone and pick a lamb."

Tan Zheng took a few steps away to answer the call in a relatively quiet place, but his eyes never left Tan Shu.

Tan Shu himself had pocket money, and the electronic watch could be used to pay. He picked out a round horned sheep for a while, thinking about buying another one for Tan Zheng, but he circled around the balloon and couldn't find a tiger.

The aunt who sold the balloons saw that he was out of shape and good-looking, and asked him what he wanted with a smile. Knowing that he was looking for a little tiger, she took the initiative to point him to the opposite side: "There are tigers for sale over there."

Tan Shu wanted to buy a little surprise for Tan Zheng before he finished the phone call, and ran away after paying.

At night, the dazzling headlights, the sound of continuous horns, and the sound of brakes sharply rubbing against the ground.

It's spinning again.

But this time there was no pain.

Tan Shu finally returned to his soul in the chattering voice, only to realize that he was pressing Tan Zheng firmly under his body.

A familiar fear swept across Tan Shu's brain in an instant: "Dad—"

Sheng Sheng, who got out of the car to inquire about the situation, stopped his feet. Tan Zheng couldn't pull off the large pendant with built-in audio on his body, so he had to stand up with Tan Shu first.

The driver braked in time, and the front of the car at the last stop nearly rubbed the place where Tan Shu had just stopped.

He blamed him for not being optimistic about the child. He should have apologized to the other party first, but Tan Shu couldn't stop crying as he hugged him and couldn't talk at all.

Tan Zheng said "I'm sorry", and a couple who got out of the car repeatedly confirmed that Tan Shu was not injured but was just frightened, and then repeatedly said "it's fine" to get in the car and leave.

The kind passers-by helped Tan Zheng pick up the phone and brought it to Tan Shu without stopping.

Ren Zhaoyuan has tried the usual back pats to coax children, but Tan Shu has no tendency to ease at all.

Tan Zheng made him cry with a headache.

"I didn't have an accident, my ancestor, can I stop crying?" Tan Zheng didn't know how much attention he attracted as he walked to the parking spot, seeing Ren Zhaoyuan's call alert, it was like seeing a savior, "Xiaoshu, your father Ren is calling. ."

Tan Shu finally let go of Tan Zheng's neck with a choked snort, and while crying, he wanted to get his phone. Tan Zheng sighed, "Don't cry, it's time for your father to worry if you cry like this."

"Um.. uh.. um.."

Seeing that he couldn't hold it back for a while, he was afraid that Ren Zhaoyuan would be anxious, so Tan Zheng connected the phone first. Sure enough, Ren Zhaoyuan's first sentence was to ask, "What's wrong with Xiaoshu?"

"Just now a car almost hit him on the road, and he fell and was frightened. He said there was no pain. I checked and he was not injured, but to be on the safe side, I took him to the hospital for a checkup. It's fine, don't worry."

"You fell too?"

Tan Zheng felt that there was no omission in what he said just now, and he didn't know how Ren Zhaoyuan could guess it, so he could only answer lightly.

"Don't drive, call a chauffeur or let the driver over, we'll meet at the hospital."

"Okay, I don't drive, you also let the driver drive, don't worry, it's really okay."

After a few simple chats, he hung up the phone. Tan Shu cried and twitched as he stared at Tan Zheng's cell phone.

"Dad calls for a chauffeur to call back, wait a while, and be obedient."

Before Tan Zheng placed an order here, Tan Shu's phone watch rang. Tan Zheng watched the people who couldn't be coaxed well, eased their emotions under Ren Zhaoyuan's comfort, stopped crying and shouting, and took the initiative to tell them. Ren Zhaoyuan said, "Dad, don't worry."

It's good for anyone to use it, and it finally stopped.

At that time, Tan Zheng rushed over to take Tan Shu away, although he was anxious, but he did not let Tan Shu bump into it during the process. After the whole body examination, it turned out to be fine, only Tan Zheng's elbow was scratched with a piece of skin, which needed to be disinfected and bandaged.

Tan Shu didn't cry anymore, but apart from Ren Zhaoyuan calling out "Dad" when he arrived at the hospital, he didn't take the initiative to speak again, and his head was sluggish.

Ren Zhaoyuan and Tan Zheng knew that Tan Shu was in the car when his parents had a car accident. They guessed that Tan Shu was afraid of what happened before, so he didn't let Tan Shu go back to his room at night and fell asleep between them in the master bedroom.

"He was crying like that, and I almost thought I had an accident."

Ren Zhaoyuan patted Tan Shu's back with his hand stretched out on Tan Zheng's body and softly said to him, "What nonsense."

"Ah," Tan Zheng whispered in pain, "I am the wounded."

Not to mention the wound, Ren Zhaoyuan didn't even touch his arm.

However, the injured person has the capital to cheat, Ren Zhaoyuan gently touched his arm: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, pay attention to sleep, don't overwhelm."

"I can't, I won't sleep outside when you are here."

"Well, let's rest at home tomorrow. I'll ask Sister Shen to come over and stay for the whole day."

"Don't you have an event tomorrow?"

"The salon of a private organization is not important, and it is impossible to talk to the person in charge."

"Alright, I just want to stay at home with you and not go anywhere."

Ren Zhaoyuan smiled lightly and found that Tan Shu moved and immediately comforted him across the quilt. After a while, he heard Tan Shu talking vaguely in his sleep.

Tan Zheng listened for a while: "What?"

Ren Zhaoyuan shook his head: "I didn't hear you clearly."

"Never mind, go to sleep," Tan Zheng habitually stretched out his arms to hug Ren Zhaoyuan, but he was caught and released halfway, "Huh?"

"The elbow is still injured, don't move."

Tan Zheng's arms were empty, and he felt uncomfortable. Ren Zhaoyuan moved closer to Tan Shu's side, put his arm over Tan Shu's body, and held Tan Zheng's hand: "Let's do this for now, it's up to you when you're ready."

"All with me?"

If this is the case, Tan Zheng can make a lot of money.

Tan Shu will be fine tomorrow, he can go back to his room and sleep by himself, no one is in the way, so he doesn't have to wait for the injury to heal.

If Ren Zhaoyuan was worried about the wound, it would be easier. He didn't need to try to coax Ren Zhaoyuan to take the initiative.

The ready-made reasons are here, always leading Ren Zhaoyuan to do something.

When he turned a corner in his tone, Ren Zhaoyuan knew what he had in mind, and pinched it at the base of his palm: "Sleep in your sleep."

"Well, go to sleep, good night."

Ren Zhaoyuan curled his hand in Tan Zheng's palm and answered him softly, "Good night."

The little ones were all asleep, and their breathing was soothing and even. Tan Zheng stood up and passed over Tan Shu in the middle, and placed a kiss on Ren Zhaoyuan's face.

When they got up in the morning, Tan Shu was still asleep. Neither of them stayed in bed for long, nor did they ask Tan Shu to get up. The kitchen was warm with Tan Shu's share, and the two sat together to have breakfast first.

Yesterday, when Ren Zhaoyuan looked at Tan Zheng's bruised shoulders and his fleshy elbows, Tan Zheng kept saying that he was fine, just a little broken. It's different today. can't even lift a spoon and fork, so want Ren Zhaoyuan to feed it.

At first, Ren Zhaoyuan followed him by spoonfuls, but after a while he only fed a small half bowl. Ren Zhaoyuan put the soup in front of Tan Zheng: "I'll give you something else, you can drink it with your left hand much faster than this."

"Then I won't drink soup."

Ren Zhaoyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are not naive."

With that in his mouth, he picked up another spoonful of soup and brought it to Tan Zheng's mouth: "Xiaoshu doesn't even need to be fed when he eats."

Tan Zheng's face was not blushing and his heart was not beating, and he answered confidently in Ren Zhaoyuan's words: "I'm naive."

When Tan Shu went downstairs, the two had just finished their extraordinarily long breakfast. Ren Zhaoyuan stepped forward and patted Tan Shu's head and asked him if he had washed up and slept well. Tan Shu nodded twice.

I don't know what's going on in my little head, I'm worried.

After the meal, Ren Zhaoyuan asked him if he was frightened by the car at the Star Observation Platform. Tan Shu nodded and shook his head, hesitating to say anything, Ren Zhaoyuan looked like he was about to cry when he asked again.

Tan Shu usually stays with them, but today he returned to his room with his books and supplies, and he didn't show up all morning.

He finally came out at lunch, but he didn't eat after only a few mouthfuls. He sat at the table for a while and left. Ren Zhaoyuan followed upstairs into Tan Shu's room.

"Xiaoshu, let's talk."

Tan Zheng and Ren Zhaoyuan stepped forward and stood at the door now, blocking the half-open door tightly.

"Dad has always told you that you can tell us anything that happens, that you are not happy, that your father will not ask you to be happy, that what you are afraid of, that your father will not force you to accept it. Let us know why."

Tan Shu lowered his head and did not speak, Ren Zhaoyuan sighed softly: "Is Dad very untrustworthy with you?"

"No, I..."

There was only one beginning of the words, and Tan Shu didn't say anything else.

"If you don't want to tell us, you don't have to tell us, but Xiaoshu, your father is very sad that you hide it like this abnormally."

Tan Shu's tears "swiped" out and flowed all over his face: "Dad, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it... uu sorry..."

Tan Zheng's eyes fell on a piece of paper on the ground not far away, and he walked over and bent over to pick it up. Three words were written on the top line of Tian Zi Ge.

"Farewell letter," Tan Zheng read out the words on the paper that had obviously been erased several times, and threw it into the trash can full of waste paper with one hand, "Don't like this family, don't want us anymore?"

Tan Shu collapsed on the spot.

Crying with tears and snot, and wailing almost out of breath, Ren Zhaoyuan hurriedly comforted him with a soft tone.

"I'm not..I like dad..woo I'm scared..you guys send me away.."

Tan Shu's words while crying were inaccurate, and Ren Zhaoyuan and Tan Zheng only understood after listening for a long time.

Before, they let people know about the situation of Tan Shu's original family. Tan Shu's mother was originally pregnant with twins, but only Tan Shu survived. Tan Shu's original grandparents were superstitious and asked someone to calculate, saying that Tan Shu was born with evil spirits, and that he was able to overcome his relatives. He also took the fact that Tan Shu's parents died in a car accident and survived because he was wrapped in a quilt as iron evidence that he was a disaster star.

They know that Tan Shu's original family just wants to know what Tan Shu has experienced. At the same time, it is also to prevent more troubles in the future. Those "destined characters" that Tan Shu's original grandparents, uncles and aunts believed in, they heard it. , did not take it to heart at all.

But Tan Shu was scolded and scolded like this since he was a child.

An unwarranted thing is repeated countless times, and people who listen to it for a long time will wonder if it is true.

Especially after the death of his parents, blood relatives avoided him, and after he arrived at the orphanage, there were always people who were unwilling to adopt him because of a car accident.

"I don't want to be in the orphanage.. The old dean left, I just, I just thought... uh... sorry..."

Tan Shu always thought that they didn't know that his parents died in a car accident at the same time, that they didn't know that he still had relatives alive but didn't want him.

The new dean said at the time that Tan Shu was not close to people. When Tan Zheng saw that he took the initiative to get close to Ren Zhaoyuan, he took it for granted that it was because Ren Zhaoyuan was kind to him, and the two hit it off.

It is only now that know that the fate is only one of the reasons. Another reason is that Tan Shu thinks that the new dean may not understand many things when he takes office, and may not explain it in such detail. He wants to bet once, will the new dean not tell Tan Zheng and the others.

When he first arrived at the orphanage, Tan Shu also took the initiative to show it. Many people laughed at him, saying they liked him and wanted to adopt him, but they all disappeared in the end.

Later, when someone else wanted to adopt him, he overheard the old dean talking to that person, and the person who said he would definitely take him home heard the words "car accident", "keqin" and "destiny", shook his head and said no wonder he still It's a pity that have relatives who are sent to the orphanage, looking at a very good child.

Tan Shu never saw that person again, nor did he take the initiative to speak to the person who was going to adopt.

Ren Zhaoyuan and Tan Zheng took him away, but Tan Shu always thought he was lucky, seized the opportunity and made the right bet.

The fear of being found to be retired has subsided in the day-to-day interaction, but last night, when the headlights flashed and the horn rang, the scene that dared not recall overlapped with the present moment. In order to save him, Tan Zheng was injured——

"It's not a good thing to be born with."

"It's a disaster star with evil in life!"

"Ke brother, K's parents! Whoever is close to you will be unlucky!"

"The fortune teller is right, I should have sent him away long ago, and my son can still save his life..."

Maybe he was really in trouble.

What if he really doesn't care about his relatives, and who is really close to the disaster star who has an accident?

Tan Shu was afraid.

When he took the initiative to ask Ren Zhaoyuan if he could adopt him, he only wanted to leave the orphanage.

But later he really had a very good family, a very good father, and what he wanted most was not important anymore.

He was more afraid of them than he was.

Adults are easy to get into the horns, not to mention the children who are the easiest to walk straight and can't turn around.

Silly and distressing, Ren Zhaoyuan tilted his head and was held on the side of his face by his broad palm, wiping off a little wetness from the end of his eyes.

"Xiaoshu."

Tan Shu couldn't help retching from crying. Tan Zheng grabbed the back of his neck and rubbed it up and down with his big hands. He squatted in front of him and called him, "Xiao Shu."

"Um.. umm.."

"We have known for a long time what you said. Retirement will cause secondary harm to the adopted person. In order to reduce this situation, the dean will tell us all the information about you as comprehensively as possible."

"Before adopting you, the dean told us about the car accident. We also know what your former grandparents and other relatives said about what you did."

Tan Shu stared at Tan Zheng blankly, and choked uncontrollably every once in a while.

Ren Zhaoyuan took him into his arms: "Okay, okay, it's okay, those words are all lies, we don't believe it, Xiaoshu is the best child."

Tan Shu cried again.

Later, her eyes were swollen into single eyelids, her throat became hoarse, and she could still see the tears after washing her face.

"What if it's true..."

"Not in case."

"But my dad said that since I was born, bad things have always happened in the family.."

Tan Zheng asked, "When did I say that?"

"It's the former father, as well as grandparents and fortune tellers..."

"You only have two dads, right in front of you. Your grandparents just sent you toys and new clothes a few days ago. Those are all irrelevant people. Do you believe them or us?"

Tan Shu looked at Tan Zheng and said after a while, "I believe you."

Tan Zheng rubbed his head: "Well, be good."

"Xiaoshu," Ren Zhaoyuan called to Tan Shu next to a set of orbital models, "Come here."

This set of orbital models is complicated, and the three of them have been building for a long time.

Ren Zhaoyuan took a train and put it on the track, and said to Tan Shu: "Xiao Jiu grew up slowly after he was born, and walked along this road, but something happened in the middle. When you arrive at the orphanage, it is equivalent to walking. on the other way."

The little train turned at the fork and continued along the second road.

"Xiao Jiu met us on this road to the orphanage," Ren Zhaoyuan grabbed a larger train and hooked the original train, "We took Xiao Jiu home and went another way."

"On this road, Xiaojiu becomes Xiaoshu, and he moves forward happily along the broad road. The first road will never be taken again."

Ren Zhaoyuan put Tan Shu's hand on the small train and arrived at the end together: "We don't believe in those unrealistic things, but even if those are true, you are no longer the original you. The road to the beginning will not happen what would have happened on the track before."

"A change in one thing will affect the development of many things in the future. You have seen the animation of the butterfly effect and the explanation of the cotangent sequence, and you must understand this truth. After you come home with us, everything will change. Tan Shu only Tan Shu, those nonsense words have nothing to do with you anymore."

Tan Shu looked at the intertwined and complicated tracks in a daze, and then heard Ren Zhaoyuan say: "And everyone will encounter bad things, it may be big or small, it may be more or less, but there will be, it can't be everyone around. There's a calamity, isn't it?"

Originally, Tan Shu was ready to be abandoned.

He thought as long as they knew the truth they would never want him again.

He wrote a letter and hid it in the drawer, hoping that the two fathers would not blame him. He was very afraid that the two fathers would think that he was deliberately harming them.

But nothing.

It's like the tornado that was in front of you suddenly disappeared, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a blue sky, white clouds, sunshine and breeze.

This unreality continued all afternoon and into the evening.

After talking a lot in the afternoon, Tan Zheng and Ren Zhaoyuan did not continue the topic, everything was the same as usual.

Tan Shu was attached to the back of the two like a small tail, and followed them all afternoon. He didn't want to read or play, so he just stayed near them in a daze.

Now, Tan Shu holds the doll and looks at the two people on the other side of the sofa. Tan Zheng is cutting Ren Zhaoyuan's nails.

"dad."

Ren Zhaoyuan turned to look at him: "Huh?"

"Why did you choose me?"

Ren Zhaoyuan put one hand on Tan Zheng's and the other on his curved knee, and said slowly, "I think about it, because I feel very different when I see you, because you will give the best little tomatoes to you. I, because you wanted to have a home when you asked me, and because..."

Tan Shu watched eagerly, Ren Zhaoyuan smiled, and stepped on Tan Zheng's leg with his bare feet: "Why? Dad Tan, hurry up."

Tan Zheng used a wet towel to wipe off the fine dust left by polishing the edge of the nail for Ren Zhaoyuan: "Forget it, maybe it's good looking."

Tan Shu was stunned: "Huh?"

"I like good-looking people. Look at your father, is he the most beautiful person in the world?"

Ren Zhaoyuan kicked him with a smile, Tan Zheng grabbed Ren Zhaoyuan's ankle, slid down his heel to hold the sole of his foot, and changed toenail clippers.

Tan Shu nodded vigorously: "Dad Ren is the best looking!"

Unconsciously, the stuffy mood dissipated. Tan Shu still slept in the master bedroom tonight, but it was very different from the way he slept silently and peacefully last night. Asking for a while and talking about that is like a small talker.

"If I knew about my grandparents when I was in the orphanage, would my grandparents still adopt me if they didn't want to ask about me?"

Ren Zhaoyuan put one hand on him: "We knew at the time that you still had relatives, and your files contained this part of the information."

"Then, if I knew why they didn't want me and what they said about me, would they have adopted me?"

"Will do."

"Even if you know they all say I'm a disaster star?"

"Yes, we don't believe that."

"If my birthday wasn't the day my dads met, would they choose me too?"

"Will do."

"What if no one robbed my tomato that day? I can't give my dad the best tomato, will he choose me too?"

"Will do."

"What if I'm not good-looking, will you choose me if I'm not good-looking?"

"Will do."

"If I hadn't met the dads in the yard..."

Tan Zheng listened to similar questions and answers over and over all night, and Ren Zhaoyuan took the trouble to answer them over and over again, but Tan Zheng got tired of listening first.

You Qi was still on the bed, separated between him and Ren Zhaoyuan.

Tan Zheng ran out of patience, and directly stretched out his hand to cover Tan Shu's mouth: "If I don't meet you, why don't I want you, shut up and go to bed."

Tan Shu was forced to mute his voice and smiled, his feet resting on Tan Zheng's legs, his arms around Ren Zhaoyuan, and he slept sideways until dawn.

The breakfast on the table is all my favorite. The two fathers took him to school together and picked him up from school together in the afternoon. The two balloons that flew away last night turned into three and returned to his hand. The boss tied the rope holding the balloons to his wrist. , Tan Shu raised his hand to show the two fathers, and when he turned his head, he saw Tan Zheng bowing his head and tying a bow on Ren Zhaoyuan's wrist.

The black-and-yellow tiger, the sheep with white fur and brown horns, and the brightly colored Ultraman floated in the air and touched the wind after a while, and followed the three of them all the way home.

Tan Shu soaked in the honey pot all day, and ran to the master bedroom with his little pillow in his arms early in the evening.

Tan Zheng grabbed his back and said, "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to sleep with Daddy!"

"Sleep by yourself."

Tan Shu poised to take a few steps and stayed in place, finally realizing that he was not an opponent, pitifully asking for help: "Dad Ren—"

Ren Zhaoyuan was holding a mobile phone to record the scene of the eagle catching the chick.

I bought a few cameras at home, but when it comes to daily recording, still use the most unprofessional mobile phones.

It's not easy to continue watching the fun after being named, Ren Zhaoyuan smiled and coughed, and just as he was about to say something, Tan Shu left the ground and hung in the air.

Tan Zheng directly threw the pillow back.

The author has said:

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
