After being picked up by his master and training martial arts on the mountain for twenty years, Zhao Si finally yearned day and night to descend and venture into the pugilistic world. He harbored t...
It took two hours and forty minutes for Gu Lingfeng to finally park the car in front of the noodle shop. It could have been faster, but Zhao Si couldn't tell the location of the noodle shop, so he could only look for it while driving.
It was almost eleven o'clock at this moment, and there were no customers in the noodle shop. The old man and the old woman were busy in the kitchen preparing to welcome the lunch customers.
"Uncle, auntie, I'm back!" Zhao Si got out of the car, rubbed Zuo Mu's butt, and ran in to greet the old couple.
"Oh, Xiao Si, you're finally back! Come and see me." The old lady was holding a bunch of coriander and ran out happily when she heard the voice. Zhao Si obediently turned around to show himself to her.
Gu Lingfeng just walked in with a lot of bags, and when he heard the nickname "Xiao Si", the corners of his mouth twitched.
Xiao Si, fortunately she is not called Zhao San, otherwise she would be Xiao San.
Zhao San: "······You seem impolite."
The old man also saw Zhao Si and put down his chopsticks and came out. "It's good that you're back. We were worried that something might have happened to you."
Zhao Si, who had indeed gotten into trouble, smiled guiltily but said nothing.
"Is this your friend?" Zhao Si was so happy that he forgot about Gu Lingfeng. It was only when the old lady saw Gu Lingfeng standing behind him that she asked.
"Ah! Uncle and aunt, this is Mr. Gu, my creditor." Zhao Si introduced him to the old couple with a happy face.
“······”
The old couple looked at each other, worry showing on their faces. Where did Zhao Si go to provoke these people, and why did the debt collectors come to his door?
Gu Lingfeng's smile froze. He felt that sooner or later, Zhao Si would be pissed off to death. Seeing the two elderly people's awkward expressions, he adjusted his mindset and forced out his most friendly smile. He introduced himself, "Uncle and aunt, my name is Gu Lingfeng. I'm Zhao Si's friend. He jokingly called me his creditor because I borrowed some money from him before."
The old couple obviously would not believe it easily. These days, bad guys only know a person's true heart. Zhao Si was so gullible that maybe the money was cheated by Gu Lingfeng.
Gu Lingfeng continued to explain, "Zhao Si and I had some unpleasantness before. He ran away from home with Dudu while I was at work. I came here today to thank you, uncle and aunt, for taking care of Zhao Si during this period, and to take them back home."
Gu Lingfeng handed over the things he had brought: two boxes of health supplements, a set of top-quality skincare products, and two bottles of white wine he had asked someone to get. These were gifts he had chosen for his parents when he went home to visit them, and he had just given them to the elderly couple first.
Gu Lingfeng's attitude was sincere, and when they heard that he also knew Dudu, the old couple believed him a little.
"Just come, why bring any gifts? Take them back now!" The old man refused.
"That's right, no, no, put it back." The old lady also refused with a smile, and her attitude was much kinder.
Gu Lingfeng secretly elbowed Zhao Si, and Zhao Si reacted quickly and said, "Uncle and Auntie, please keep it. Thank you for taking care of me during this period of time."
As Zhao Si spoke, he took the gift from Gu Lingfeng and put it into the hands of the old couple. The old couple looked at each other and accepted it, not wanting to disappoint the children's gratitude.
"Meow~" Dudu heard the sound from behind and sneaked out. She still remembered Gu Lingfeng, the guy who would buy her delicious cat food and snacks. She ignored Zhao Si's outstretched hand and jumped up to sit firmly in Gu Lingfeng's arms.
"Dudu~" Gu Lingfeng rubbed Dudu's little head, feeling very happy. This little thing really has a conscience, unlike her father...
Seeing that Dudu really knew Gu Lingfeng and was acting very close to him, the old couple finally felt relieved. Small animals are the best at knowing who is good and who is bad, who is kind to them and who is not.
It was almost time for dinner, but they were not in a hurry to leave. Zhao Si took Gu Lingfeng to his small house to rest, and then he went to help the old couple with their work.
The room contained only a small bed, a collection of miscellaneous items. Gu Lingfeng could only sit on it. He looked around the room; it was small, but reasonably clean. Zhao Si didn't have much luggage; a small bag sat at the end of the bed, and in the corner, an empty bag of cat food was placed.
Baggage, Dudu, these seemed to be everything about Zhao Si. Gu Lingfeng suddenly felt that Zhao Si could disappear very easily.
"Mr. Gu." Zhao Si interrupted Gu Lingfeng's thoughts, "Thank you for the gift you prepared for me. I will return it to you later."
"Well, I'm glad you know." Gu Lingfeng nodded, thinking that if you knew the price, you might not want to return it.
After taking care of the midday crowds of customers, the old man skillfully fried a few dishes. The four of them had a meal together, and then Gu Lingfeng and Zhao Si prepared to leave.
Zhao Si was reluctant to leave his grandparents, and the old couple was even more reluctant to leave Zhao Si. They accompanied him all the way to the car and held Zhao Si's hand, tears in their eyes, reluctant to leave.
"Uncle and aunt, don't worry, I will take good care of him." Gu Lingfeng held Dudu in his arms and finally couldn't help but say after watching the farewell scene for five minutes.
"Xiao Gu." After the meal, the old couple had become familiar with Gu Lingfeng. "You must be nice to Xiao Si!"
The old lady took Zhao Si's hand and whispered, "Xiao Si, if Xiao Gu treats you badly, just come back. Uncle and Auntie will support you!"
Zhao Si was so moved that he burst into tears, "Auntie, Uncle, don't worry, Mr. Gu and I will live well."
“······” The more Gu Lingfeng listened, the more uncomfortable he felt. Why did this scene look so familiar?
That's right! How is this any different from marrying off a daughter?
Finally, finally, the car started smoothly. Zhao Si leaned on the window and waved to the old couple for two miles. Gu Lingfeng felt it was too painful to watch that scene.
Zhao Si was very depressed all the way. He held Dudu in his arms without saying a word. He curled up against the door with red eyes, as if Gu Lingfeng had snatched him back from his body.
