“……”

Huo Suicheng leaned against the bedside, looked at the  clock on the wall, rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, then looked at Huo Xiaoxiao who was standing beside the bed, staring at him with a sullen face, without saying a word. When he recovered from his surprise, he found it a bit funny.

“It’s late, why are you not sleeping yet? Are you going to catch a ghost by dressing up like this?”

Huo Xiaoxiao climbed onto the bed in silence, grabbed the quilt on the bed and wrapped it around her body, she turned over and took away most of the quilt from Huo Suicheng.

Huo Suicheng looked at the only half of the back of her head that wasn’t covered by the blanket, and rubbed it with his hand, “Can you tell daddy why you are so angry that you can’t sleep?”#pleasereadthischapterat foxaholic.com

You don’t know the reason I am so angry that I can’t sleep? You are deliberately asking while knowing the answer!

Huo Xiaoxiao slapped his hand and refused to talk to him.

“Auntie Zhao said that you had a bad stomach three times again this afternoon? Is it still painful?”

Seeing that she didn’t want to talk to him, Huo Suicheng sighed helplessly and asked, “You took away all of the quilt, now what should I use to cover myself?”

Huo Xiao glanced at the blanket by her feet and threw it to him.

“……” Huo Suicheng took the thin blanket and looked out at the cold wind outside the window. Fortunately, the air conditioner in the room was turned on so he didn’t feel cold.

She was just a child, but her temperament was quite big.

“Huo Xiaoxiao, turned around. Daddy wants to have a talk with you.”

Huo Xiaoxiao did not move.

“Huo Xiaoxiao!” Huo Shuicheng moved his hand to turn her over, “You…” but his words stopped abruptly.

Huo Xiaoxiao’s tears gushed out along her cheek and slipped into the pillow which made the surface wet.

Suddenly being turned over by Huo Suicheng, Huo Xiaoxiao hurriedly raised her hand and rubbed her fuzzy eyes, then bit her lower lip to prevent her from crying.

She bit it so hard that her lips were trembling.

Huo Suicheng frowned, and all his sleepiness was gone at once.

He reached out to touch Huo Xiaoxiao’s lower lip with his cold hand and said, “Let go, don’t bite it!”

Huo Xiaoxiao was forced to loosen her teeth that were biting her lower lip, and it left a deep tooth mark on her lower lip.

The sound of sobbing overflowed from between her teeth uncontrollably.

“What’s wrong? Why are you crying like this?”

“Why do you care about it!” Huo Xiaoxiao trembled, choked and turned away.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Huo Xiaoxiao violently raised her hand to wipe her traitor tears and sniffed.

She didn’t want to cry either, but couldn’t control herself.

It was fine during the day, but when she saw her dad at night, she felt aggrieved from the bottom of her heart.

Huo Suicheng looked at Huo Xiaoxiao’s shaking shoulder in silence, then he got up, turned on the lights in the room, poured a glass of water, and took Huo Xiaoxiao out of the quilt with one hand.#pleasereadthischapterat foxaholic.com

“Drink some water first.”

“Don’t want to.”

Huo Suicheng could only put down the cup and wiped her tears with a tissue.

But the more he wiped her tears, the more tears flowed down like it was flooding the mountain.

“You’re this aggrieved?”

In such a short time, Huo Xiaoxiao’s eyes and nose were all red.

“Because today Daddy didn’t explain it in your place?”

Hearing what her father said, Huo Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that she was crying like this because of this incident, and it was a bit hypocritical.

How big is this?

Don’t be so petty, be strong!

“I…I’m okay.”

“If you’re okay, then how come you are crying like this? I always told you, you’re still a kid and you have a bad stomach. You shouldn’t eat so many snacks,  desserts and ice cream. You always eat one or two behind my back sometimes. Today you ate so many at once and had a stomach ache, isn’t the one suffering at the end you?

Huo Xiaoxiao pursed her mouth and nodded.

Huo Suicheng saw that she was clearly aggrieved, but she was putting the face of “I am not aggrieved at all”, so he lowered his voice and asked her, “Do you still feel aggrieved? Why? Because Daddy didn’t explain it in your place?”

Huo Xiaoxiao did not speak.

“If you don’t speak, how do I know what you think?”

Huo Xiaoxiao’s lips pressed tightly, “You clearly know it was not me. You’re my daddy. It’s okay if you bully me at normal times, but how can you not defend me? Instead, you let others bully me and slander me for something I haven’t done, and you won’t even explain it in my stead.” She was very sad. “If this kind of thing…. happened in the future, would you continue to treat me like today?”

“Of course not…” Huo Suicheng stroked her back and answered, “How can Daddy treat you like that?”

“But that’s how you treated me today.”

“Aunt Zhao and your two friends didn’t bully you. They all like you very much and they didn’t mean any harm, neither did Daddy.”

“How do you know they all like me? What if someone who doesn’t like me knows and makes fun of me? You know what? Today, Auntie Zhao asked me to wear diapers. I obviously have grown up, I can’t bear it anymore. It’s you, you let Auntie Zhao misunderstand but you still don’t explain it, I hate you!”

Huo Suicheng was dumbfounded.

Suddenly he somehow understood why she was so sad.

Because she was a child, she didn’t understand why, so she didn’t think from the perspective of an adult how much harm this incident would cause her.

It was beyond his expectation that Huo Xiaoxiao would feel so sad and aggrieved.

He lifted his hand and wiped the tears that the child continued to shed. “Today, Daddy just wanted you to stop eating random stuff like today. I didn’t think about it so much, and it was not intentional. I apologize and it won’t happen again, okay?”

Huo Xiaoxiao raised her hand and wiped her tears.

“In the future, if someone bullies you or slanders you, no matter if you have done something wrong or not, Daddy will protect you.”

Huo Xiaoxiao’s tears stopped in an instant, but she still looked at him directly without saying a word.

Huo Suicheng instantly understood what she meant and said, “Okay, tomorrow Daddy will explain it to them for you.”

“And… what else?”

""

“What else?”

“If you have done something wrong, make an offer and apologize. You have made an apology, how about the offer?”

“… Okay, what do you want? Daddy will give it to you.”
