He had the hope that Natalia, like the other children, would grow up safely and peacefully with a perfectly ordinary family.
Gently, the actor reached out and carefully touched her skin. Only then did the tips of his fingers come into contact with her face and carelessly brush against her eyelashes. Even in her sleep, the ticklishness immediately made the girl wince.
He pulled back quickly, afraid of waking her.
Making sure she was sound asleep again, he smiled, bent his head, and pecked her lightly on the forehead. Then he got up and walked away, switching off the light before he quietly left the room.
In bed, Natalia felt as if she were in a dream. She could sense the warmth of the good night kiss and subconsciously broke into a half-smile.
…
At night.
Gong Fan lay on the bed and could not fall asleep for a long time.
He was restless for some reason. He looked at the clock. It was late and he was tired, but he was afraid to sleep. He was afraid that if he were to fall asleep, he wouldn’t be able to wake up again. Once he was anxious, he felt even less sleepy.
Therefore, after tossing and turning for a while, he felt more awake.
He sat up a little and leaned against the bedcovers. He then turned to look at Little Yichen and saw that the boy was breathing evenly. He was clearly in a dream.
Gong Fan let out a soft sigh and got out of bed. Shuffling in his slippers, we went to put on a jacket. As he passed the desk, he saw the earphones and iPod that Little Yichen had placed on there. He picked them up.
He put on his earphones, stepped out onto the balcony, and turned on the music.
The music had been put on pause. He released the pause and the music started.
“Look back and never got far…
That longing gaze will never change…”
Gong Fan was stunned. He didn’t expect Little Yichen to listen to such sad music. The music wasn’t so bad. It was just the sad singing and the sad lyrics that stirred the emotions.
Gong Fan came to the swing and got onto it. With a casual kick, the swing started to move.
The evening breeze was gentle and cool.
