At this time, Fu Xiao came out with a bag in hand, "Come, give me the cat..."

She took the cat from his hands, held it in her arms and said softly, "I have to give it a nice name. What should I call it?"

While thinking, he walked to the car and sat down with it in his arms, and gave Shen Xingzhou a casual look: “Let’s go…”

"Hehe..." Fu Yu laughed.

Shen Xingzhou took a deep breath and went to close the door of the main room first. The kitchen had been cleaned up when Fu Xiao was feeding the cat.

He walked to the driver's seat and said to Fu Yu expressionlessly, "Brother, please open the door."

After the car drove out of the yard, Fu Yu locked the door and sat next to Fu Xiao. As if deliberately stabbing someone in the heart, he asked with a smile: "Have you thought of a name?"

Fu Xiao was silent: "Hmm...?"

She thought of several names in her mind, but she felt that none of them sounded good. She held the kitten in her hands and raised it up, saying in a negotiating tone, "How about I tell you all of them, and you can just call out whichever one you like, okay?"

The kitten naturally didn't answer her, and used all four legs to struggle free from her restraints.

"Baibai? Mimi?..." She said several names in a row, and then she remembered the name Fu Kai gave to the puppy, and continued, "Bean bun? Dumpling? Steamed bun?"

Fu Yu and Fu Yu both laughed, "Are you reading out the names of the dishes?"

Only Shen Xingzhou remained expressionless. He looked over from the rearview mirror and said, "Why not call him kid?"

"Hmm?" Fu Xiao was silent for a moment, then remembered something and lifted up the kitten's lower body to take a look. "It's a male cat, so let's call him Cub."

She stared at it and kept calling: "Baby...Baby, this is your name, remember it."

"Xiaoxiao, I'm talking about the little brat,"

Fu Xiao waved his hand, "Hey, stop it, that name is so ugly, Zi Zi sounds better."

Shen Xingzhou: “…”

He stepped on the accelerator and the car went faster.

He glanced back casually and asked calmly, "Xiaoxiao, who is following behind?"

"Oh, it's okay, protect me,"

Fu Yu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and said, "Now that we are done with this, we can take a break for a while, right?"

Fu Xiao hugged his baby and sighed, "I have to study, at least I can't fall behind in the exam."

"Isn't this a simple thing for you?"

"Well, although I have a good memory, the contents of this book don't automatically run into my brain. I have to read them word by word."

Fu Yu smiled and said nothing more.

Drive all the way to the gate of the compound.

Fu Xiao asked: "Are the third and second brothers here?"

Fu Yu nodded. "They came directly from the school to the compound. They should have arrived by now."

Before he entered the house, he heard the noise inside when he stood at the door of the Mu family. He raised his eyebrows at Fu Xiao and said, "Look."

Fu Xiao shouted, "Third Brother,"

Fu Sui, who was talking to Mr. Mu inside, turned around and said, "Hey, where is the cat..."

"My elder brother gave it to me. It looks nice, doesn't it?"

Fu Sui and Fu Hong came over. Zizi was a little scared and started to show his teeth at them.

"Oh, you have a bad temper."

Fu Xiao gently soothed it twice before it calmed down. She held it and looked at Grandpa Mu beside her, "Grandpa, what are you doing?"

Mr. Mu waved at her and said, "Here, let me see who to invite to your birthday party..."

"What birthday party?" Fu Xiao was a little stunned, then asked in disbelief: "Are you planning to invite anyone?"

"It's enough for our family to have a meal. Why is it necessary to mobilize so many people?"

Mr. Mu pulled her to sit down. "Forget about what happened before, but this is your eighteenth birthday, and you can't just celebrate it casually."

"I have arranged everything. Your good-for-nothing father has returned from the northwest. We will go to the restaurant soon."

"My dad is back?"

Mr. Mu waved his hand: "Not yet. We should have reached the outskirts of Beijing by now."

Since everything has been arranged, Fu Xiao refuted and started looking at the list he prepared.

Mr. Mu looked at Fu Yu and Shen Xingzhou and said, "You two should go to the Zhai family and invite the children of the Zhai family."

Shen Xingzhou nodded and followed Fu Yu out.

Seeing Fu Xiao's bitter face, Mr. Mu patted her hands with a smile and said, "Don't worry, no one will say anything. I only invited your peers and your father's friends. There are no elders or outsiders who need you to greet them."

Fu Xiao smiled and said, "I know, I just think it's too grand."

"Good boy, no need to be so solemn. Turning eighteen is very important. It means you have become an adult..."

As they were talking, Mu Lianshen returned exhausted.

As soon as he entered the house, Grandpa Mu began to arrange tasks for him: "Go to that restaurant and take a look. Although I went to talk to them, there is still a host who is arranging things..."

Mu Lianshen looked at Shen Xingzhou, who nodded in understanding, “Grandpa, I’ll go, let Uncle Mu rest for a while.”

Watching him turn and leave, Mr. Mu didn't say anything. As long as someone goes, it's fine.

But Mu Lianshen couldn't sit still. He directed the people upstairs: "Hurry up and make a phone call, or have the guards run around and notify everyone to arrive."

Mu Lianshen sighed helplessly: "Dad, I have already arranged everything, don't worry."

Fu Xiao looked at Fu Sui and asked, "Sister Nan is not coming?"

"She said that we would gather in the courtyard at night and not come here,"

"oh,"

"An An, come here..."

Mu Lianshen waved at her and took her upstairs. "Dad prepared a birthday present for you."

He took her to the study, held her shoulders, and stared at her solemnly and gently.

As he watched, his eyes turned red.

Fu Xiao felt sad and his eyes turned red. "Dad, what are you doing?"

It's just a birthday, not a wedding.

Mu Lianshen smiled gently: "Dad is just expressing his feelings."

Also sorry.

"I feel so sad that my An An has grown up so fast..."

Sorry that he came so late, sorry that he couldn't give her a complete home.

He also wanted to thank her, thank her for being willing to acknowledge him as her unqualified father.

He walked to the table, picked up a box, and handed it to her, "Gift..."

Then he hugged her and walked out.

She opened the box and found a letter on top. She opened it...

A father's words to his daughter appeared before her eyes, and as she watched, she suddenly couldn't stop crying.

When she saw the last sentence, she smiled wistfully. The loneliness and sorrow of the past seemed like a dream.

In recent years, she has rarely thought about the past.

Now, she has a lot of...

There are relatives who dote on her, and there is a lover who only favors her.

Her father loves and protects her.

Mother...also loves her.

I wish my son will live in peace for many years, with fireworks chasing the stars.

The smile on Fu Xiao's lips grew wider, and even the corners of his eyes and eyebrows revealed a smile uncontrollably.

The years do not pass, and seventeen pass again.

I am already tall and graceful, without worries or fears.
