Lin Yi's sudden appearance completely disrupted her peaceful life.
It made her calm heart surge again.
It was like a gust of wind that brought out all the hardships he had experienced in the past five years.
Chu Tao was silent for a while, but in the end, she held back the words she wanted to say.
He turned to look at the cold iron door.
Actually, she really wanted to say that she wanted a father.
Although she didn't know what happened between her father and mother, she knew that something must have happened between adults.
It was a very serious matter.
Otherwise, her usually strong mother wouldn't have suddenly cried so hard after seeing her father today.
In Chu Tao's memory, this was the first time she saw her mother cry.
No matter how badly injured he was, he never shed a single tear.
But today, her mother seemed very sad.
Chu Tao swallowed back the words "I want a father".
Imitating her mother's usual behavior, she clumsily stroked Chu Xiangrou's head with her two small hands.
The human heart was made of flesh. How could Lin Yi not be moved when a girl he loved cried in front of him?
After closing the door, Lin Yi stood there for a long time.
The soundproofing of the old house was not good.
He could clearly hear Chu Xiangrou crying from the other side of the door.
That palm-sized tear-stained face seemed to be right in front of him, unable to be brushed away.
How hopeless must she have been in those five years?
It was just a pity that he was not by her side during those five years.
His daughter was already so old, but he only found out today.
He wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and remembered that he still had the thing that Chu Tao had stuffed into his hand.
He opened it up and saw that it was actually a sign.
It looked like a sign to prevent getting lost, and there was a phone number written on it.
Parents would give their children such a sign. If they got lost, they could contact the child's family.
And the number on it
Lin Yi blinked.
He stared at the number carefully.
The corners of her lips involuntarily curled up slightly, and her eyes were filled with infinite tenderness.
He gently stroked the number on the sign.
It was a familiar eleven digit number.
It was the number they had registered together when they were dating.
It was a couple account.
In an instant, memories surged out like a tide.
They had spent more than an hour choosing this number when they went to the business hall to settle the registration.
He picked two numbers-one with Lin Yi's birthday and the other with Chu Xiangrou's birthday.
Chu Xiangrou was the one who used Lin Yi's birthday number.
I didn't expect it to be used for so many years.
When he saw the number on it, his low mood instantly dissipated.
His mood was also much better.
So many years had passed. Even if Chu Xiangrou thought that she was dead, the phone number they had chosen together had not changed.
Even though Chu Xiangrou had said those harsh words just now.
It was nothing more than a form of self-protection.
He knew that it was very difficult for a woman to raise a child. She did not accept him because she was worried about him.
Actually, Chu Xiangrou still had her own heart.
In other words, there was still a chance. He just needed to work hard.
How long would he have to work hard for?
A year? Two years?
No matter how long it took, he was willing!
After a long time, he carefully put the token into his pocket.
She took a deep breath and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
He had already made up his mind. If he wanted Chu Xiangrou to soothe the pain in her heart, it was impossible to do so with just a few words.
There was no point in saying anything more. He could only prove it with his actions.
Lin Yi stepped out of the unit.
Lin Yi stopped in his tracks when he saw the door open.
The unit door was blocked by a rock.
Even if the stone was removed and the door closed, there was no way to lock it.
It could be opened easily.
It seemed that the lock was broken.
This was too unsafe.
What was the use of this broken unit door?
The thought of Chu Xiangrou and her daughter living in such a unsafe place made her feel even more guilty.
If only he had been by their side.
Chu Xiangrou wouldn't have been on tenterhooks for so many years.
He still had to hold a knife when he returned home.
Lin Yi shook his head.
At this moment, an old man walked over.
The old man stopped in his tracks when he saw Lin Yi staring at the door. He put his hands behind his back and looked at the door with Lin Yi.
She couldn't figure out what Lin Yi was doing.
He pointed at the door and asked," Young man, what's wrong?”
Lin Yi raised his head," Grandpa, are you a resident of this unit?”
"Yes, I am."
"Is the door of this unit locked?”
Sir System lowered his head and pondered for a moment before finally nodding."Yes, I remember it's been a few years, but I couldn't close it.”
"Strangers often enter this neighborhood. The broken door can't be closed, so everyone can only lock their own doors."
The old man seemed to have thought of something as he stared at Lin Yi for a while.
He frowned, and his wrinkles deepened.
"Young man, you're not a resident of this building, are you?”
Lin Yi smiled," I'm not, but my wife and daughter are residents of this unit."”
Sir System grinned." No wonder you've been staring at this door for so long. You're worried about your wife and daughter's safety, right?”
"Yes, I am." Lin Yi nodded and asked," The property management doesn't care?”
Sir System sighed and shook his head." Our neighborhood is old after all. The property management doesn't care at all. Even if we report to them that a facility in the neighborhood is broken, no one will come to fix it even if we urge them for ten days to half a month.”
Lin Yi frowned.
It would be strange if the management of the community was good if they encountered a property that did not care.
In the past, he didn't know, but now he knew.
How could he let Chu Xiangrou and her daughter live in such a small district?
Although he really wanted to move them out, it was impossible to do so based on Chu Xiangrou's current condition.
Since they couldn't move, it seemed that they could only do it themselves to make the environment a little safer for the mother and daughter.
"Is there a hardware store nearby?" Lin Yi asked.”
First Master raised his hand and gestured at the entrance of the neighborhood." Once you leave the neighborhood, turn left and it's the second house.”
"Thank you, sir."
Lin Yi quickly walked towards the gate.
The old man stared at Lin Yi's back and mumbled," Isn't the wife and daughter in this building all old people? There's only one single parent with a child, but that little girl said her husband died."
