Chapter 3: Dependent on Each Other

Lu Chao rejected her after seeing the price of several hundred yuan

Although she said nothing, Lu Chao could sense the disappointment in her eyes

Without Yili, the father and daughter rely on each other for support; now, Yaya is everything to Lv Chao

Lü Chao still remembers that once, Yili found a bread machine online and wanted to purchase it to make natural and healthy bread without additives for the father and daughter.

Lü Chao sat in the middle of the bed, while Ya Ya ran around him in circles, occasionally collapsing into his arms with laughter. At times, she would lie on his back, and after being carried by him, she would lower her little head and rub her face against Lü Chao's face.

The night grew deeper, and the occasional howls of wolves from outside sent a chilling sensation through the air

She just doesn't quite understand. In the past, Lv Chao often took her out to play, and in the neighborhood, she would meet other children of similar age to play with. But today, she can only stay at home, and the curtains are drawn.

In the days leading up to her departure, Yili always made phone calls to him and her family in secret. Luchao was unaware of what was happening, but he knew that she cried night after night. Whenever he saw her during the day, her eyes were always red.

It is, of course, impossible to drive a luxury car back to my hometown.

Every so often, Lv Chao would go to the peephole of the security door to observe outside. Sometimes, he would go to the window, slightly pull back the curtain, and look outside.

... ...

A few wild wolves reappeared around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. They did not show much interest in the house, but since they occasionally appear around the house, it indicates that the area where the house is located falls within their territory

The happiest thing for Yaya is that her father can play with her and hold her while being silly in various ways

The one-year and three-month-old Yaya clearly does not know the horrors outside; as long as she is with her father, she is very happy. Moreover, her father has never spent an entire day with her like this before.

In the evening, Lü Chao did not dare to turn on the light

However, contrary to his wishes, he failed two subjects in succession, resulting in the family's financial situation plunging into a dire state

Especially while preparing lunch, Lü Chao maintained a high level of vigilance; if there was any anomaly, he would immediately stop to avoid making excessive noise

During the time she spent with him, Yili never discussed her family with Lv Chao, and even when directly asked, she would only provide vague responses. However, from her daily spending habits and the occasional snippets of conversation he overheard on the phone, Lv Chao could infer that her family was quite wealthy

She appeared particularly happy today, continuously smiling

Watching Yaya running around the room, Lv Chao couldn't help but think of her mother, Yili

One can imagine that the nights in the forest are even more terrifying; who knows if there are more ferocious beasts lurking nearby? It would be troublesome if the light attracts them.

During that period, Lv Chao did not spend time accompanying or comforting her; instead, he devoted himself to writing fervently in hopes of earning more money to improve the family's situation. He even dreamed of becoming a great writer, driving a luxury car to take her and Ya Ya back to her family, aiming to change her family's perception of him and gain their acceptance of him and Ya Ya

A family of three once shared a wonderful time together, but after living together for a long period, the differences in their living habits, divergent thoughts and beliefs, as well as the longing for family members caused Yili great pain. For a while, she even experienced some depression.

Yaya is very well-behaved and rarely cries out loudly

After three months of chaos, Lu Chao finally managed to become a qualified father.

After Ya Ya and the two were together, Yi Li had a falling out with her family. During her pregnancy, she did not work outside and completely lost her source of income

This is not a good thing

She has never been willing to mention the specific details to Lu Chao, but Lu Chao can imagine that it is likely because her family looks down on his identity as an online writer and opposes their daughter Yili being with him. The reason Yili does not bring it up is mostly to avoid hurting his pride

During the period after Yili left, Lv Chao was still not very adept at taking care of Yaya. He often lost track of time while typing and did not manage to cook, leaving Yaya to cry loudly from hunger. When feeding her, he did not control the temperature well, which caused Yaya to cry from being scalded. Additionally, he frequently failed to change her diapers in a timely manner, resulting in Yaya wetting her clothes and bed sheets.

Lu Chao was very worried that the sounds made by Ya Ya would attract the attention of the wolf pack, but the soundproofing of the house was quite good. As long as Ya Ya did not cry out loudly, her voice should not carry outside the house
