…

Maybe Lu Cijiu looked so good at the time that Gong Xichao let out a low, happy laugh when he saw it.

Gong Xichao is handsome. His face is not androgynous, but the kind of traditional handsome man. When he is silent, his cold temperament is outstanding.

But once you open your mouth—

Forget it, don’t worry about it. Think about the 30,000 yuan and the bathroom!

So Uncle Lu decided to forgive Gong Xichao generously.

Anyway, I've settled the issue of sleeping in the old bed.

Lu Cijiu continued scrubbing with a rag; the area was too large. Gong Xichao sat on a chair, legs crossed, his cold face tinged with amusement as he watched the humans work.

So happy.

Winning the argument with this human is much more pleasant than sleeping on the bottom of the ocean, Gong Xichao thought.

After Lu Cijiu cleaned the windows, the room was bright and clean, and his mood improved a lot. The floor was covered with a layer of dust, but after washing it with water, the original cement floor was exposed. It was polished smooth and looked very good.

"... waist, waist--" Lu Cijiu dragged himself up from the ground too quickly and sprained his waist. His eyebrows were furrowed in pain.

Gong Xichao stared at the humans working, and of course he immediately noticed that Lu Cijiu had twisted his waist. The smile on his face faded, and he said with a cold and disdainful sound, "Humans are indeed fragile."

Lu Cijiu: ...Thirty thousand dollars can’t stop him, he wants to fight this eagle!!!

Then Gong Xichao snapped his fingers, and the whole room was clean in an instant.

Clean.

All it takes is a snap of the fingers.

Lu Cijiu looked at the eagle in shock.

Gong Xichao was very proud. The human was weak and stupid. He said, "Do you know how powerful I am?"

"I know, I know." Lu Cijiu covered his waist and sat on another chair, letting out a comfortable sigh. Seeing Gong Xichao's dissatisfied expression, which looked like "That's it? That's it?", his heart tightened. He said seriously, "Brother Thanos, you are really awesome, you are worthy of being called Kunpeng."

Gong Xichao asked sarcastically, "What is Thanos?"

"He's just a very powerful movie character." Lu Cijiu thought to himself, finally there's something you don't know.

Gong Xichao snorted coldly, raised his chin slightly, and said arrogantly, "I'm the best."

"Yes, yes, yes." He doesn't care who is more powerful. It's really comfortable not to have to work.

The children woke up and washed their faces, and soon the furniture delivery arrived. Lu Cijiu had just praised Gong Xichao, and Gong Xichao was in a good mood. With a snap of his fingers, he generously moved the big bed to the left bedroom. The children's room was cleared, and the bed and cabinet installers began to install it.

"I've been to Haishan several times. When did such a big yard appear here? It's really strange." The installation master was confused.

Lu Cijiu smiled and said, "Would you like some water?" and poured him a bowl of water.

One, two, three, and four were very curious and walked around the road to say goodbye. The waiter said, "Chirp, what are these for?"

"I bought you new beds and cabinets." Lu Cijiu rubbed the waiter's head.

The children suddenly became happy. Xiao Er grabbed the corner of Lu Ci's old clothes and said nervously, "You won't leave, will you? I don't want a new bed."

"I won't leave." Lu Cijiu said affirmatively.

The waiter then became happy.

It took a while to install the four beds and four wardrobes. The place is spacious, with a bedroom at least 20 square meters, so even with four small beds and wardrobes, it doesn't feel cramped.

After seeing the master off, Lu Cijiu spread out the bedding and let the children choose their own beds.

"I have my own bed now?" Xiaoyi was shocked, and his usually bright almond-shaped eyes froze. "So beautiful, jiujiu."

The beds were actually quite ordinary, cheap in the town's furniture market, not high-end. But for four children who had been mistreated since childhood, crammed into a single "bed" made of moldy, dented, and patched-together wooden planks, these four beds were truly beautiful.

"Xiaoer, you choose first." Xiaoyi said sincerely.

Sasa and Xiaosi also nodded and looked at Xiaoer. Xiaoer pointed to a bed near the door and said, "I'll sleep here."

"I want the seat next to the waiter." Xiaoyi likes the seats inside very much.

Sasa and Xiaosi looked at the chosen bed.

The waiter was very smart and observant. He knew what seats everyone liked and chose the ones that no one wanted. He looked cold and a little overbearing. Well, just like his uncle who was not related by blood. Lu Cijiu thought.

The children sat on the bed, and the youngest began to roll around, burying his head in the bed and laughing.

It is also a pleasure to watch Lu Cijiu.

It wasn't until dinner was ready that I realized I had forgotten something.

What did you forget?

"Where is Uncle Yan?" Xiaoyi said.

Because Yan Junbo bought a chicken, he is a very good uncle in Xiaoyi's heart.

Lu Cijiu: ...He forgot his half-brother.

So he immediately invited someone in person.

Yan Junbo has obsessive-compulsive disorder, always thinking, "If there's just a little left, the whole yard will be done." Otherwise, leaving a piece unfinished would be unsightly. Since he's here, he'll just do it all. After finishing the weeds, he'll look at them again and see how unsightly the mess is, so he just piles them up.

So Lu Bijiu came over and saw that the backyard was clean, the soil had been turned over, and weeds were piled in the corner.

Yan Junbo was covered in sweat, but he stood with his hands on his hips, appreciating the fruits of his labor with a sense of satisfaction.

"Brother, you are my real brother." Lu Cijiu said.

"Don't give me that. If there's something to do, it's my brother's business. If there's nothing to do, it's my boy." Yan Junbo said this, but he didn't really care about working hard. His buddy had to take care of such a big yard and four children by himself. Food and drink all cost money, so he had to do whatever he could.

Lu Cijiu naturally knew this, and as a favor to Yan Junbo, he fetched some water and added hot water for Yan Junbo to clean up before eating. The two of them were delayed for some time, and when they returned to the main hall, they saw that no one had started eating and were all waiting for them.

Including Gong Xichao.

But one of the faces said, 'Humans, it's unreasonable for me to wait for you to eat'. Well, Lu Cijiu made that up himself, but the meaning is roughly the same.

"Chirp, eat."

"Uncle Yan, have dinner."

The children spoke in baby voices.

Lu Cijiu was moved and said, "Let's eat." The atmosphere made even the cold-faced Gong Xichao enthusiastic.

After dinner, I sent Yan Junbo off.

It's getting late.

"Drive safely."

"Don't send me off." Yan Junbo started the car and said sincerely, "Brother, I admire you."

Lu Cijiu knew what he meant. It was nothing more than staying here to take care of the kids for a low salary, but he was happy and didn't feel wronged by the job. He said with a smile, "Who made me a dad?" He even got a son for free today. Thinking of Gong Xichao reminded him of sleeping on the floor at night, so he couldn't even laugh at the joke.

A sad face.

Back at the shelter, Gong Xichao was sitting in the main room with a sullen look on his face.

"What's wrong with baby?" Lu Cijiu thought about his eldest son all the way and blurted it out. After he said it, he thought it was bad, his eldest son would get angry, and said with a noble and cold face: Human, how dare you call me baby!

Sure enough, Gong Xichao raised his brows and stared at him coldly for a while, which made Lu Cijiu wonder whether he should explain it in detail. As a result, the other party showed an "I knew it" expression, and his look was slightly tolerant. "Human, stop dreaming." He stood up and went into the bedroom.

Just leave like that?

Lu Cijiu was completely confused.

He wants to be Diao's father. Does Gong Xichao know about this?

You know how you remain calm???

Lu Cijiu couldn't figure it out, so he washed the children with a puzzled look on his face, then sat by their beds and told them stories, rubbing each of them one by one. He immediately felt happy, turned off the lights, watched the babies fall asleep, and walked out of the room. The smile on his face froze.

I have to sleep on the floor tonight.

well.

The eldest son is unfilial!

Lu Cijiu walked into the room with a heavy heart. Gong Xichao was still awake. She was wearing a white underdress, with her long hair flowing down. She had a cold and indifferent temperament. She sat on the edge of the bed, and under the warm light, she looked like a painting.

But the look in his eyes seemed off, very wary.

"???" Lu Cijiu looked at his eldest son cautiously, "What's wrong?"

Gong Xichao watched for a long time, confirming that the human was quite honest. It was normal for this human to be attracted to a Kunpeng as powerful and handsome as him, so he said mercifully, "You are allowed to sleep on the floor next to the bed."

"..." Lu Cijiu took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your grace."

The floor was hard, and there was no mattress. Lu Cijiu stared at the edge of the bed, then watched Diao climb onto it leisurely, lying down with dignity and grace. He said disdainfully, "This is a shabby bed."

Lu Cijiu: ...How about we switch?

But he didn't dare say it.

"Humans, turn off the lights." Gong Xichao gave the order.

Lu Cijiu turned off the lights with a click, and in the darkness, he stared at Gong Xichao lying on the bed, his animal nature revealed. He decided to go all out - he pounced on her.

"Human!" Gong Xichao pretended to be dead and sat up.

"Shh, don't make noise, the children are asleep. Brother Gong, I will just go to bed and sleep next to you. I will do nothing, brother, please." Lu Cijiu shamelessly showed weakness. Even a son who is unfilial to his old father has to act like a spoiled child. Alas, the world is going downhill.

Gong Xichao's brows were raised in anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Human, don't even think about it."

"Brother!" Lu Cijiu's butt had taken the position. With Diao's skills, if he didn't want him to sleep on the bed, he could have kicked him down as soon as he pounced on him. Now he is still fine, what does it mean!

No need to sleep on the floor tonight.

But you have to act cute.

Lu Ci was a straight man, but he was flexible and could flatter people in a disgusting way: "Brother Gong, I knew you were charming, righteous and handsome the first time I saw you, please--" He didn't know where he found Gong Xichao in the dark, but he felt Gong Xichao suddenly move to the inside of the bed.

"elder brother?"

Did he get mad? What did he just touch? It was cold and hard.

Gong Xichao let out a cold breath for a long time, then said coldly but still with anger: "Human, if you dare to cross the center line, I will eat you."

"Okay, okay, okay." Lu Cijiu knew it was done, and he nimbly got under the quilt, occupying the outer side of the bed. He said happily, "I'll do as you say. Come on, brother, let's go to bed. I'm so sleepy."

After working for a day, Lu Cijiu yawned and fell asleep soon.

Gong Xichao sat on the inside, leaning against the wall, staring at the sleeping face of the human with a cold expression. He knew, he knew, this human really would not give up!!!

Taking the opportunity to touch his chest, if he hadn't been quick—

Gong Xichao had a cold face and leaned stiffly against the wall, too angry to fall asleep.

I was almost taken advantage of by a human.

But in the darkness, Gong Xichao, who was angry and cold, had his ears faintly red.

neither knows.

After about ten days, the utility room was transformed into a washroom, the shelter was clean and beautiful, and life was back on track. Green vegetables were planted in the backyard, and seedlings grew out, full of vitality, just like the four cubs in the shelter.

That day, Lu Cijiu was cooking and worrying about running out of money when he received a call from Yan Junbo.

"Brother Lu, help! My cousin seems to be haunted by a ghost..."
