Duan Zihui’s lips twitched slightly. He told the child with a hint of helplessness, “Your Uncle Xu is probably quite busy today, so I guess you won’t be able to see Chongchong today.”
Zhuzhu didn’t answer her father. She lowered her head and began to search for the number on her phone watch. After finding it, she looked up and told her father, as if she had just remembered something: “Dad, I remember now. I have Chongchong’s phone number.”
“We bought both our smartwatches together. Chongchong’s is black, and mine is pink.”
“But I wanted Mom to let me play with her phone, so I didn’t want to wear my smartwatch. If Mom hadn’t suddenly put it on me yesterday, I would have forgotten I had a smartwatch.”
Little Zhuzhu accidentally exposed her little tricks, but she was completely unaware.
As she spoke, she called Chongchong, and the call was connected after a short while.
As soon as the call connected, Zhuzhu excitedly exclaimed, “Chongchong, I’m here too! I’ve come to see you!”
“I wanted to give you a surprise, so I didn’t tell you I was coming!”
“Are you free today?”
“Oh, you’re busy. Can you come see me in a couple of days? Okay.”
After hanging up, the little one’s happy expression turned to disappointment, her eyebrows drooping. She turned to her father and said, “Chongchong said he’s busy these two days, so I can only see him in the next couple of days.”
She sighed, “It suddenly feels so far away. If I had known, I would have come two days later.”
Without seeing Chongchong, Zhuzhu missed her mother especially. Even though her father’s house was much bigger than hers, she was not interested.
She started calling for her mother, “I miss Mom so much. I wonder if she’s waking up yet? Is she at the shop?”
“Dad, I want to go home.”
Yes, she regretted it.
But there is no medicine for regret in the world.
Since she had already come here, it was impossible for Duan Zihui to make a special trip to send her back.
He tried to divert her attention.
“How about Daddy taking you out to play?”
Zhuzhu shook her head: “I don’t want to go out to play. I miss Mommy. I want to go home.”
Her voice was soft, tinged with a hint of grievance, sounding rather pitiful.
When Duan Zihui brought her here, he was only concerned with making her happy and hadn’t thought much about it. He thought that he could handle it, but now that the child looked so pitiful, he was starting to feel a pang of sadness.
He tried to reason with Zhuzhu: “Zhuzhu, it’s not that Daddy doesn’t want to take you home, but Daddy has something else to do when I get back. Daddy will take you to play with other kids first, okay? You can play with the kids at their homes today, and Daddy will take you home the day after tomorrow.”
Zhuzhu pouted, looking like she was about to cry: “But I really want to go home.”
Duan Zihui felt like he was starting to have a headache. He rubbed his brows and began to coax her with things her children liked: “Then how about Daddy taking you to the amusement park?”
Zhuzhu didn’t want to go to the amusement park; she just wanted to go home and see her mother.
The more she thought about it, the more she missed her mother.
The little girl shook her head vigorously, her lips pressed tightly together, and said, “I don’t want to go to the amusement park! It’s not fun at all. I want to see Mommy.”
She hadn’t felt tired at all queuing for hours to go to the amusement park before. Now she doesn’t want to go anymore.
Duan Zihui rubbed his eyebrows and felt a headache, looking at her sad expression.
He said, “The amusement park here is really fun, and you don’t have to queue for long. Are you really not going?”
Zhuzhu resolutely replied, “No! I want Mom!”
