Chapter 37: Dad, Why Aren’t You Happy? (2)
Luming Mountain…
Huo Suicheng closed his eyes .
The problem seemed to be solved, but it never did .
Deception could only last for a while . There would always be a day when lies break apart .
By that time, he and his father were bound to fight .
Click!
A faint sound suddenly rang in the quiet room .
Click, click, click .
The door opened a crack .
Huo Xiaoxiao took advantage of people’s inattention, tiptoed on the small stool, and opened the door of Huo Suicheng’s room .
Huo Suicheng looked at the door as a small hairy head poked in from outside . After looking around for a while, she climbed down the stool, then moved the stool into the room, and put it on beside his bed, presumably to climb on the bed .
But Huo Xiaoxiao’s height was still small even after stepping on the stool, and her legs dangled in the air . After watching for a while from the side, Huo Suicheng shook his head and smiled . Finally, he couldn’t help but step forward and picked up Huo Xiaoxiao .

Huo Xiaoxiao, who was suddenly lifted into the air, was shocked and struggled in Huo Suicheng’s arms .
“Don’t move . ”
Huo Suicheng stopped her movements with one sentence and turned on the lights .
Seeing that it was Huo Suicheng who was hugging her, Huo Xiaoxiao was relieved .
Since the room was dark, she assumed that Huo Suicheng had gone to bed and fallen asleep . How could she know that he would hide in the dark and give her a scare?
Huo Suicheng put her on the bed and looked at her from above . “Aren’t you not allowed to come to my room? Why are you here again?”
Huo Xiaoxiao considered whether she should play dumb or not .
Huo Suicheng saw through her at a glance . “I know you are smart and could understand me . Don’t be silly . ”
“…” Now that she was seen through, Huo Xiaoxiao admitted generously, “I want to sleep with my father . ”
“Why do you want to sleep with me?”
Huo Xiaoxiao rolled up her trouser and pointed to her knee . “It hurts . ”
“Delicate . ”

“Pain!”
Her injury was striking . Huo Suicheng’s eyebrows slightly puckered as he squatted down in front of the bed . He gently rubbed her purple bruised knee with his palm .
“Daddy will massage this to heal quickly . ”
Huo Xiaoxiao looked at Huo Shuicheng up close .
Under the thick black eyelashes, those eyes always seemed to have a gloomy and melancholy that could not be dissolved . The eyebrows were almost always tightly knit and never relaxed .
“Dad, why are you not happy?”
“I’m not unhappy . ”
Huo Xiaoxiao reached out and touched Huo Suicheng’s furrowed eyebrows . She frowned . “Why are you doing this?”
His palm stopped rubbing her knee . Huo Suicheng raised his eyes and looked at her wrinkled chubby face . “This is how adults are . ”
Huo Xiaoxiao pouted, obviously not believing . “Aunt Zhao is not like that . ”
“Because you make Aunt Zhao happy . ”
“Then, I can also make you happy!”

Huo Suicheng’s eyebrows relaxed, and he lowered his head for a short laugh . “I’m not unhappy . ”
“Liar . ”
“Why would I lie to you?”
“You lied to Grandpa . ”
“Adults lie . ”
“Not good . ”
Huo Suicheng smiled . “This is the instinct of life . ”
Huo Xiaoxiao frowned, seemingly unable to understand .
Huo Suicheng didn’t hope for her to understand . “Do you still want to hang out with me in the future?”
Huo Xiaoxiao’s frown deepened .
Huo Suicheng laughed out loud, “Stingy . ”
He lifted the quilt and motioned Huo Xiaoxiao to sleep in . “Do not wet the bed tonight, do you hear me?”
Huo Xiaoxiao, who was climbing into the quilt, turned red at his words .
Hateful! Just now, she felt that this father was good, and then, he turned back to his true character, which was a nuisance!
Huo Suicheng watched her squeeze into the bed without looking up, covering her head . He knew that she was shy, so he opened the quilt and said, “Okay, no one is laughing at you . Close your eyes and go to bed quickly . I’ll take you to the amusement park someday . ”
She didn’t care about amusement parks or anything .
Instead, she looked at Huo Suicheng with her eyes wide-opened . “Dad, Grandpa, he…”
Huo Suicheng lay down beside her . “Sleep . ”
“…Oh . ”
The night outside the window was darker, and the moon hid in dark clouds .
The child beside him breathed smoothly .
In the dark, Huo Suicheng opened his eyes and turned to look at Huo Xiaoxiao, who was sleeping soundly .
This child would always sweat when sleeping at night . The hair on her forehead was wet and stuck to it . Sometimes, she raised her hands unconsciously to swipe them away . She seemed uncomfortable .
He stretched out his hand and gently caressed her small forehead . He brushed back her fine hair and wiped the sweat with his palm
