Good Dad System (Arc 6) Chapter 49.1: The Film Emperor Who Gave Birth To A Child In Hidden Marriage (7)
Qin Xingyang felt so aggrieved that he couldn’t even describe it. If he wasn’t still on the phone with his father, he would have wanted to throw his head into the quilt and roll around in a tantrum. The watch, which he usually treated as a treasure, now had a very low status in his heart. His eyes were like a reservoir, and tears kept pouring out. His mother always said that boys shouldn’t cry, so he usually didn’t cry. But when he thought about how he had finally had a phone call with his father, and time was wasted, he felt sad.
“Xingyang, don’t cry. If you cry again, Dad will cry too.” Pei Naochun had met “big kids” in the previous worlds he had experienced. This was his first time meeting a little kid, and he was a little bit unable to coax him. “What gift do you want, Xingyang? Dad is in the United States now. There are many things here that are not available in China. I will buy them for you when the time comes.” He picked out the words that he loved to hear from his parents when he was a child.
“I don’t want any gifts. ” While Qin Xingyang was crying, he did not forget to control the sound of his voice, for fear that he would not be able to hear his father talking on the other end of the phone. He had not spoken to his father like this for a long, long time, and he had not yet learned how to calculate the exact length of time.
“Why don’t you want a gift?” Pei Naochun had already put on his clothes and sat by the window. “Do you like robots? How about cars? There are some really cool Transformers here.”
“I don’t want any of them, Dad. I don’t want any gifts. Can I exchange them with you for something else?”
“Um?”
Qin Xingyang’s hands tightly grasped the quilt: “Dad, I miss you. I don’t want any gifts, I just want you to come back.” His voice was particularly low, without any of his usual vitality. “I miss you, and mom misses you too. Mom even cried today.” Even the sound of his voice was filled with tears.
“…” Pei Naochun was silent for a moment. After receiving the memories of the original body, he realized that the original body did have many difficulties – to travel between the two places once, the flight and journey alone would take more than a day, and this was if you bought a direct flight. If you had to transfer, it would be even more serious. In addition, you had to adjust to the jet lag every time, and often had to return to the country to participate in activities and consolidate your position. Basically, time passed by like this.
Qin Xingyang was very sensitive. When he heard his father didn’t say anything, although he was in a very bad mood, he still cheered up and tried to change the subject: “Dad is very busy, right? Mom and Aunt Xiao He told me, I know Dad is busy…” Tears welled up in his eyes again, and was about to fall. There were parent-child sports games and home-school visiting meetings in their kindergarten, but he could never participate in them because his father could never eat.
“Okay.” Pei Naochun replied immediately, “Xingyang also knows that Dad is busy, so dad can go back when Dad is free, okay? Dad makes a pinky promise with you that I will find a time early. When it is convenient, I will ask Mom to start a video call to see if you are okay.” He wrote a blank check guiltily and felt very guilty. He always felt like he was lying to a child.
“Well, OK!” Qin Xingyang was immediately satisfied and burst into laughter. “We agreed that Daddy should be quick! I will wait for you obediently.”
Qin Xingyang and Qin Siya were so easy to “fool”. They were persuaded to wait for countless days with just those excuses like “wait a little longer”, “I’m busy”, “I’m tired”, until they could no longer hold on.
Qin Xingyang suddenly noticed something and called out softly, “Dad, let’s talk faster!”
“What’s wrong?”
“Another minute has passed!” Qin Xingyang looked at his watch, extremely anxious. He jumped up and stepped on the quilt. “Hurry up, five minus two…” He counted on his fingers, “I can only speak for another three minutes.”
Pei Naochun was also quickened by his son. In fact, he even had the urge to tell the child that he could talk for a little longer, but the itinerary was already there. Both the original body and Pei Naochun were punctual people: “Okay, then Xingyang, tell me Dad, have you been doing well in school recently? Did the teacher reward you? Dad has also been learning English recently, maybe he is not as good as you.”
He threw out a bunch of questions at once, making Qin Xingyang confused: “Dad, please speak slower, I can’t remember.” The little head couldn’t hold so many words in one breath.
“Okay.” He smiled indulgently and chatted with his son every second. The room was filled with the overlapping laughter of the father and son.
Five minutes – strictly speaking, it was a little more than four minutes. It passed in a flash. Before Pei Naochun could say anything, Qin Xingyang spoke first: “Dad, I’m going to hang up. You have to be good, eat well, sleep well… and then, come home early!”
“Are you in such a hurry?” Pei Naochun smiled helplessly. He was planning to pretend that he didn’t notice the time and talk more with the child.
“No hurry!” Qin Xingyang answered immediately, “But Daddy has to go out and be busy. I’m very good and won’t bother Daddy. Daddy, remember what you promised me, that you would come back to see me. We’ll make a promise for a hundred years and never change our mind. Anyone who doesn’t keep his word is a little dog!
“Okay.” Pei Naochun answered with a smile, but just as he said “Okay”, he heard his son on the other end of the phone say “Goodbye, Dad “as quickly as possible and hung up the phone. He listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone and held his forehead helplessly.
The more sensible, obedient and unwilling to cause trouble his son was, the more he felt distressed. Why did the original owner abandon such a child?
“Brother Pei, are you done? The waiter just brought breakfast.” The sound of a card swiping was heard at the door, and the person who came in was the assistant Xiao He. She pushed a half-height silver dining cart covered with a tablecloth, and a few simple Western Breakfast items were placed on it.
