Chapter 86: Mom went camping and didn't take her

The sky had completely darkened.

The temperature in the mountains was getting colder and colder.

Putting away his phone, He Zhangbai turned back, saw Rong Ci and Seeing Dan Dan chatting while eating together, turned back to the tent, and took out two thick coats, one big and one small.

He handed the big one to Rong Ci.

Rong Ci saw it and said: "I'm not cold—"

"Put it on." He shook out the coat, draped it over her shoulders casually, and then put the small one on Seeing Dan Dan.

Rong Ci really wasn't cold, but after putting on the thick coat, it blocked most of the mountain wind, and it was indeed warmer, so she didn't refuse again.

After finishing the barbecue, the bonfire party was about to start, so they went over there.

Just as they arrived, seeing them, someone couldn't help but say: "Oh my, this family of three looks really dazzling."

Rong Ci paused and explained: "We are not a family of three."

Those people laughed, feeling that even if they weren't a family of three now, they might become one in the future.

A while later, Seeing Dan Dan went to play with friends of the same age over there.

Others were camping with relatives and friends, sitting together chatting and playing cards, building snowmen and having snowball fights, very lively.

She and He Zhangbai weren't familiar, and after Seeing Dan Dan left, they both went quiet.

They really had nothing to talk about.

Talking about family, involving Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu, was Rong Ci's taboo.

Chatting about work? It might make her think of the unpleasantness at Xundu.

Finally, He Zhangbai opened his mouth: "Went to work at Chang Mo, adapting?"

Although Rong Ci felt bored, she didn't plan to have too deep an exchange with He Zhangbai.

Falling into silence with He Zhangbai was exactly what she wanted.

When He Zhangbai spoke, she was boredly weaving a butterfly with dry grass, and hearing this, she said faintly: "Adapting."

"Yu Moxun takes good care of you."

"Mm."

"Did you major in AI in college?"

"Mm."

"How did you and Yu Moxun meet?"

Hearing this, Rong Ci didn't answer.

He Zhangbai saw that she didn't seem to want to chat much with him, and also knew that she had maintained that distance from him from beginning to end.

He knew the reason.

So he didn't continue to force it.

On the way, he answered a few calls.

When he came back, it was already late.

Rong Ci wove several butterflies, Seeing Dan Dan liked them very much and treasured them in her pocket.

Looking at Seeing Dan Dan's treasured look, Rong Ci's smile stalled.

Once upon a time, Feng Jingxin was the same as Seeing Dan Dan, she was very supportive of everything she did.

But these had long since become a thing of the past.

At night, Seeing Dan Dan made a fuss about sleeping with Rong Ci.

He Zhangbai looked at Rong Ci and asked for her opinion.

Rong Ci agreed.

Seeing Dan Dan happily nestled into her arms.

Although they were sleeping together, it was just in the same tent.

Sleeping at night was still in their own sleeping bags, so it was impossible for Seeing Dan Dan to have Rong Ci hold her to sleep this time.

Seeing Dan Dan's body was indeed a bit weak, the wind was too strong last night, maybe she caught a cold accidentally, and when she woke up the next day, she had a cold.

Rong Ci didn't sleep well last night either, and when she got up, her spirit wasn't very good.

He Zhangbai decided to take Seeing Dan Dan to the hospital, Rong Ci wanted to drive back herself, Seeing Dan Dan acted spoiled and wanted Rong Ci to accompany her to the hospital, Rong Ci looked at her sickly appearance and agreed.

Then, she and Seeing Dan Dan got into He Zhangbai's car.

Rong Ci and Seeing Dan Dan both fell asleep not long after getting in the car.

He Zhangbai turned his head, looking at Rong Ci's fair and tender face, her long hair slightly covering her face, subconsciously wanting to help her tidy up her hair, but when he saw Rong Ci's eyelashes tremble slightly, seeming to be waking up, he withdrew his hand.

In someone else's car, Rong Ci dozed for a few minutes, not sleeping steadily, and when she opened her eyes and saw He Zhangbai withdrawing his hand, she didn't think much, just asked: "Are we there?"

"Almost."

Two minutes later, the car arrived at the hospital entrance, He Zhangbai held Seeing Dan Dan out of the car and said to Rong Ci: "Let my people send you back?"

Rong Ci shook her head: "No need, I can drive back myself."

He Zhangbai didn't force it either.

Getting into the car, just as she was about to return home, her phone rang, it was a message from Feng Tingshen: Grandma is going to see your grandmother in a while, let the three of us go back to the Rong family together.

This message couldn't be ignored.

She picked up her phone and called Feng Tingshen.

Feng Tingshen answered quickly: "Hello."

Rong Ci: "I'll go back to pick up Miss Xin Xin and go over now."

She said this, actually not thinking Feng Tingshen would want to go back to the Rong family with her.

After all, before when she wanted him to go back to the Rong family with her, he always made excuses.

And her family, now didn't necessarily want to see him either.

Feng Tingshen was silent for two seconds, then said: "Okay."

Rong Ci heard him finish and hung up, turning around to head to Feng Tingshen's villa.

When she arrived at Feng Tingshen's villa, Feng Jingxin was already ready with her backpack.

Seeing Rong Ci arrive, she stayed next to Feng Tingshen and didn't move, also turning her face away and not looking at Rong Ci.

She was still angry about Rong Ci not taking her skiing last week.

Feng Tingshen raised his head to look at her and suddenly paused: "Didn't sleep well last night?"

Rong Ci didn't expect him to ask this.

Maybe it was because she didn't wear makeup, her hair was a bit messy, and it looked too obvious that she was sleep-deprived.

She said "Mm" coldly, not intending to elaborate, the butler interrupted concernedly: "Is it insomnia? There is high-quality incense here that can relieve sleep, I'll put it in your room later—"

Rong Ci then explained: "My sleep is usually fine, it's just that I went camping yesterday and wasn't used to staying overnight outside."

The butler frowned when he heard this: "What's fun about camping in the middle of winter? Don't catch a cold."

Rong Ci smiled and said: "Camping in winter allows you to have snowball fights by the bonfire, build snowmen, play hide and seek... the atmosphere is actually better."

The other people who came up to camp last night really had a great time.

She actually envied them.

Hearing this, Feng Tingshen put down the newspaper and looked at her thoughtfully.

Feng Jingxin, however, felt itchy hearing this and became even angrier for a moment.

Last time she was angry, Mom didn't coax her, that was fine.

Camping was such a fun thing, and Mom actually didn't take her!

Feng Jingxin dragged her backpack, jumped off the sofa, gave an "Hmph", and ran straight upstairs.

Rong Ci watched, frowning, and before she could speak, Feng Tingshen put down the newspaper and said faintly: "Miss Xin Xin, come back."

Feng Tingshen's tone didn't sound angry at all.

But Feng Jingxin stopped immediately.

She pursed her little mouth, turned around, and stood in place without moving.

Feng Tingshen raised his eyes to look over.

Feng Jingxin lowered her head, dragging her school bag and walking back gloomily.

But she didn't go to Rong Ci's side.

She pulled Feng Tingshen's hand and acted spoiled, saying: "Dad, go together, okay?"
