Chapter 660 - Reward Mr. Chu with a Bowl of Rice (1/2)
He shut his eyes tightly. Perhaps his body was in discomfort as he had been stuck in the car for a really long time, and his muscles were all aching. However, there was still a smile on his lips.
”Goodnight, Ruoxin, Rainy. See you tomorrow.” He leaned his head against the backrest. Perhaps, he was really too tired so he still fell into a deep sleep even in the car.
In the morning, the sound of the door opening woke him up. Rainy walked wobbly out of the house and towards Chu Lui's car. Chu Lui was awakened and hurriedly opened the door.
”What's the matter?” He bent his body to meet Rainy at her eye level. Rainy had already washed up and the braids on her head with a rabbit clip had grown.
She extended her hand, but Chu Lui looked at her in confusion. What did she want? What did he have that he could give her?
He hurriedly reached his hands into his pocket, but other than a wallet, he had nothing else in it.
”Rainy, what do you want? Uncle will buy it for you right now,” he asked Rainy. Whatever she wanted, he would be back with it as soon as possible.
Rainy still stuck her hand out and tilted her head weirdly.
”Rainy doesn't want anything. Rainy just wants to let Uncle hold me. Mommy said I can't take things from a stranger.”
Chu Lui looked at Rainy's hand, and after hearing her soft voice, he extended his hand and held his daughter's with great caution. It was the first time his daughter had allowed him to be so close to her on her own accord.
Did she not hate him anymore?
”Uncle, let's go home.” She pointed at the door that was already open. Inside the house, her mother was making delicious food; and she was willing to share it with other people. Be it her mother or this Uncle, she was willing.
”Okay, Uncle will bring you home.” Chu Lui felt the sweat coming out of his hands as he did not know how to even hold his daughter's hands. Also, the word 'home' tingled his heart. Some things were accidentally let loose, and that feeling had traveled to the rest of his body.
He walked in, and everything looked the same just as he had left it. Nothing had changed, except that there were two more people. Xia Ruoxin came out from the kitchen and placed the last bowl of rice on the table. There were two big bowls and one small bowl; it looked just like a normal family: a couple and their extremely cute daughter.
”I did not touch your clothes, and your stuff is still in its original place.” Xia Ruoxin said lightly before heading back to her kitchen. However, her voice had clearly told Chu Lui one thing. He could finally change out of the clothes he had been wearing for two days. Of course, there was also his rice for him here, and he no longer needed to starve in the morning. After a very long time, he was still standing at the same spot, unsure of how to react… until a pair of soft hands hit his big hand.
Rainy scrunched up her cute notes. ”Mommy said if you don't wash up, you can't eat. Rainy had already washed herself super clean in the morning.” She touched her own cheeks, and it was indeed very clean.
”Yes, Rainy is very clean.” Chu Lui pinched his daughter's cheeks lightly and walked to the closet. He opened it and saw that there were clothes for three people in it placed tidily.
