Chapter 156 Dad Gu is still more handsome

Song Qingshu was also surprised. His attention was on the child just now, and he ignored the man in military uniform.

The man was very tall, half a head taller than him, with a strong yet slender body, and an aura of solemnity and oppression. He was no stranger to this man. It was the Captain Gu who was stationed at the research institute to protect them.

No, he should be called Captain Gu. I heard he got a promotion.

"Captain Gu, long time no see..." Song Qingshu never expected that he was Niu Niu's new father!

He didn't know what to say for a moment. This was such a coincidence!

Gu Chengfeng opened the door and welcomed him in.

He took half a day off today just to wait for Song Qingshu to come.

As soon as Song Qingshu came in, Niu Niu jumped forward, hid behind Gu Chengfeng's long legs, and poked out her little head to look at him curiously.

"Niuniu, call..." Gu Chengfeng was about to say the word "Dad" when Song Qingshu nervously took over the conversation: "Call uncle!"

Gu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows and looked at him in confusion, but Song Qingshu smiled and said with a choked voice: "My last name is Song, you can call me Uncle Song!"

Gu Chengfeng saw that he didn't dare to say it out loud, perhaps because he was concerned about Niuniu and was afraid that the child would not be able to accept it for a while.

So he didn't say much, but squatted down and said to Niuniu: "Niuniu, this Uncle Song is Dad's friend, you have to be polite!"

Niuniu hummed, and said softly, "Hello, Uncle Song!"

Song Qingshu's eyes immediately turned red: "Hey, sweetheart... Look, this is the gift Uncle Song bought for you. Do you like it?"

He didn't know what the little girl liked, so the clerk at the supply and marketing cooperative gave him some advice and bought her a pretty little dress, a pair of red leather shoes, a doll, and lots of candy.

When Niuniu saw all these gifts, she felt like she couldn’t take it all in. There were so many things…

"Are these all for me?" Niu Niu couldn't believe it.

Song Qingshu raised his hand and touched the child's soft little head: "Yes, uncle gave it to you."

Niuniu was still a little hesitant, and looked up at Gu Chengfeng. Seeing that he nodded with a gentle expression, Niuniu burst into laughter: "Wow! I like it so much, thank you uncle..."

At this time, Shen Sisi came out of the house and was slightly stunned when she saw Song Qingshu for the first time.

As expected, clothes make the man. Song Qingshu looks pretty good after cleaning himself up.

He has a kind of otherworldly and elegant air. Although he has been working for a few years, his face is full of scholarly air. He is the kind of college senior that many girls would like.

No wonder Chunyu falls in love with me and can't forget me.

"Don't just stand there, come in!" Shen Sisi had already made hot tea and prepared a plate of melon seeds, peanuts and fruit.

Song Qingshu nodded excitedly and stretched out his hand to Niuniu: "Niuniu, can you take Uncle Song into the house?"

Niu Niu nodded and put her small hand on his big hand.

After entering the house, Niu Niu started to open the gifts right away, and she would exclaim every time she opened a bag.

Beside them were three pairs of doting eyes.

Song Qingshu was so excited that his whole body was shaking. After Xiao Chunyu passed away, he had planned not to marry again in his lifetime, and he had never thought that he would have a child.

But now, his and Chunyu's flesh and blood were so vivid in front of him, cute and smart. When he thought about how his absence had caused Xiao Chunyu and Niuniu to suffer so much, he wanted to slap himself a few times.

It's all his fault!

"Thank you..." Song Qingshu turned around, his knees softened and he was about to kneel down in front of them.

Gu Chengfeng quickly pulled him up and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Thank you for taking care of Niuniu and raising her so well. Otherwise... I'm afraid I wouldn't have the chance to see her again."

Shen Sisi didn't want to think about the past. Those difficult years were over. Fortunately, God treated her well and she was living a happy life now.

"Actually, this is what I deserve. Chunyu died in the rubble just to save me. Not to mention raising a baby, my life is hers!"

"Niuniu has been with me all these years, and it's only because of her companionship that I've been able to get to where I am today. I've long considered her my own daughter..."

Song Qingshu nodded gratefully: "So... I don't plan to take her away for the time being. Besides, I have made a decision. I will return to Kyoto to teach. I want to stay in Jiangcheng and accompany Niuniu to grow up..."

After he came back, Kyoto University extended an olive branch to him, inviting him to teach at the university while continuing his studies.

Song Qingshu declined the invitation from Kyoto University and decided to stay at Jiangcheng University instead. He had already found a house in a community next to the staff housing complex, only a five-minute walk away.

"I know you love Niuniu very much, and Niuniu has long considered you her parents. I don't want you to be separated, so... I've decided to stay and live in the neighborhood closest to you. I'll come to accompany Niuniu every day from now on. As long as you don't find me annoying, I can accompany her as Uncle Song as she grows up."

Shen Sisi and Gu Chengfeng looked at each other, shocked and speechless.

I really didn't expect that Song Qingshu actually came up with a win-win solution. However, it's too pitiful to always accompany me as Uncle Song!

He had done so much that Shen Sisi couldn't say a word of "no".

After a while, Shen Sisi finally spoke: "This is so unfair to you! After all, you are her biological father!"

"Being able to see my child again is the greatest gift God has given me. One should not be too greedy. I am very content with what I have now."

Shen Sisi sighed: "None of us can make the decision for Niuniu on this matter, so let's leave it to her to choose!"

"I'll find a suitable time to tell her."

Song Qingshu nodded: "Thank you, Comrade Shen..."

Niu Niu, who was playing nearby, had already pricked up her ears and eavesdropped on what the adults were saying. When she heard the word "Dad", she turned her head curiously and looked at Song Qingshu.

Ever since she last went to the small mound in Jinfeng Village and met a mother who slept in the mud, Niu Niu no longer had any difficulty accepting anything.

When she heard that she had a new father, she was not sad, but quite happy instead.

Does this mean that she has a new father who loves her?

"Mom." Niuniu tugged at Shen Sisi's clothes: "Is Uncle Song also my father?"

Shen Sisi widened her eyes in shock: "You...you heard everything?"

Niuniu nodded, tilting her head, her big obsidian eyes rolling around. "Will he be as nice to me as Father Gu?"

Before Shen Sisi could say anything, Song Qingshu burst into tears. After hearing the word "Dad", he felt that he would have no regrets even if he died now.

"Niuniu, I will treat you as well as your father Gu did. Are you willing to accept me?"

Niu Niu glanced at her father who was crying with snot and saliva in front of her. This father is too much of a crybaby. It’s better to have Gu’s father, who never cries and looks very handsome.

Of course, Mr. Song is also good-looking, but Mr. Gu is more handsome!

She didn't answer Song Qingshu directly, but just smiled and said, "It depends on your performance~~~~"

"I'm already a four-year-old kid, I'm not easy to fool!"

This one sentence successfully made Song Qingshu burst into laughter.

He held Niuniu's soft little hand and said, "Okay, Dad Song will work hard!"
