She looked at him.

But Gu Yulin turned back after he finished cursing, and all that could be seen was his small, slightly curled-up, somewhat angry back.

They pulled the blanket back up where it had slipped off.

Although he was scolded by his son, Gu Qingyan was thinking about...

Even his swearing is exactly the same as his mother's.

In the middle of the night, Xu Zhaozhao and Gu Yulin were fast asleep, but Gu Qingyan couldn't sleep.

I was so excited that I couldn't sleep at all.

He even went so far as to post a Weibo to show off.

Gu Qingyan v: Make more wishes to the Bodhisattva, and they will come true.

Such a seemingly random and unrelated statement is most likely to arouse suspicion among netizens.

[Your Highness, what are you posting in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? The Weibo notification woke me up [sleepy]]

[Did you find love right after the show ended? Did the girl you liked, who looks like Xu Zhaozhao, change her mind? [Question]]

Is your Bodhisattva the same one as ours? [Winking] You didn't happen to oust Xu Zhaozhao's boyfriend to take her place, did you? [Shocked]

[Sigh, Gu Qingyan has been a believer in gods and Buddhas for a long time, maybe he suddenly had an epiphany tonight. Everyone, go wash up and go to sleep. [Goodnight]]

...

He certainly wouldn't read the comments.

After posting on Weibo, he still couldn't fall asleep, so he looked at and observed Gu Yulin beside him.

Since he was born, aside from hugs, the closest they've ever been physically together is sharing a bed these past two days.

When Gu Yulin closed his eyes, it was like looking in a mirror; he looked exactly like him.

It's still a little different.

He probably doesn't drool in his sleep.

What I said in front of the camera today is not a lie.

Every child longs to sit on their father's shoulders and see the world—including the child himself.

Gu Ru couldn't give him that, but he wanted to give it to Yu Yu.

Her heart softened without her realizing it, and she took a tissue to wipe the moisture from the corner of his mouth.

Gu Qingyan was not given a chance to relax. He had just closed his eyes when the vibrating phone on the bedside table forced him to open them again.

It is an overseas number.

Gu Qingyan got up, picked up the phone, went to the balcony, closed the door, and shut out the sound.

"Brother, we might need you to stay and oversee things on the border!"

There was a lot of static on the other end of the phone, with occasional sounds of gunfire and explosions.

Gu Qingyan frowned and looked back. "Okay, I'll go as soon as possible."

...

When Xu Zhaozhao woke up the next day, Gu Yulin was obediently sitting next to her reading a book.

Looking around, she asked in confusion, "Yuyu, where's Daddy?"

"He went on a business trip abroad."

Gu Yulin answered her and showed her the image on the bracelet.

Xu Zhaozhao's eyes became even more vacant, her brain, which was not yet functioning, struggling to process this answer that was outside her consideration.

Somewhat belatedly, I picked up my phone and opened WeChat.

It was posted in a group chat between the three of them.

The group name kept being changed, and it only stopped after Xu Zhaozhao changed it to "Whoever changes the group name again, get out!"

Gu Qingyan sent the message at four in the morning.

Little Pig: @Shhh I have urgent business abroad and need to go overnight [poor face]

Little Pig: @A Little Fish, take good care of your mom and remind her to eat on time.

Little Pig: I'll bring you Peter Pan when I come back.

Gu Yulin replied to my message this morning.

A little fish: Okay, Daddy, I promise I'll complete the mission!

Yes, recently Gu Yulin has become obsessed with a new image – Peter Pan.

Precise control.

Xu Zhaozhao understood and pursed her lips, "What important thing could you possibly need to travel abroad every day?"

Criticism is one thing, but you can't joke around with your career.

After washing up, Xu Zhaozhao had breakfast with her son and then hitched a ride with Xia Huai to the airport.

They were on the same flight back to Beijing.

The first thing I did upon returning to the capital was to take a shower and go to sleep.

The commentator said that he was possessed by the god of sleep, which is not an exaggeration.

They're back to being unemployed—mainly because Xu Zhaozhao herself isn't taking any jobs.

Gu Qingyan was exceptionally busy on this business trip, replying to messages only every other day or so, and his first words were always "I'm sorry, baby."

Xu Zhaozhao couldn't get angry, nor could she help.

She hasn't been idle these past few days, spending a lot of time reading books in her study.

Most of the books in the study were gifts from Gu Ru when we moved to our new house, so you can imagine what they were about.

They are all early childhood education books, parenting tips, and how to raise a genius baby.

Of course, most of the books Xu Zhaozhao read were early childhood education books.

Comics with a childlike and playful style are perfect for her.

In the afternoon, I will accompany Gu Yulin to practice piano.

Actually, she just sat to the side watching the teacher and Yu Yu, listening quietly, hoping to absorb some knowledge to help her improve her tone-deafness.

Of course, this period of somewhat slacking off didn't last long.

Five days later, as Xu Zhaozhao was curled up on the sofa reading "100,000 Whys", Yan Jie sent her a message.

Yan Jie: Dear Zhao Jie, are you going to the Swan Award ceremony the day after tomorrow?

Yan Jie: I have a feeling you'll definitely be nominated; it would be a shame if you didn't go.

Sister Yan: [I'm begging you, Li Yan.jpg]

The Swan Award?

Xu Zhaozhao checked and found that the award was quite prestigious, mainly recognizing actors who made outstanding contributions to the film and television industry throughout the year.

The terms "TV Queen" and "Best Actress" originated from this award.

Shhh: Go! I have to go! I need to soak up their swan-like aura!

Yan Jie: ...Your Versailles-like aura hurt me. It's best if you don't end up being the one who gets rubbed against.

Sister Yan: Okay, I'll go talk to her for you.

Xu Zhaozhao finally put down her book "100,000 Whys" and picked up her phone to choose a dress.

With so many high-end custom-made items to choose from, it's clear that Xu Zhaozhao will be busy flying around for the next two days.

After selecting her, we need to go to her offline to adjust her body shape to the most suitable size.

After two days of running around, all the details were finally finalized.

When I got home in the evening, I took a shower and lay down in bed, wanting to fall asleep immediately, but I was forcibly woken up by the WeChat notification sound.

Xu Zhaozhao groggily fumbled for her phone, answered it, and held it to her ear, "Hello..."

"Baby, are you asleep?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Xu Zhaozhao managed to muster a little energy and look at her phone screen.

It is Gu Qingyan.

Xu Zhaozhao became a little more awake. "Ready to sleep. Are you done with work?"

"miss you."

He seemed to be holding a cigarette in his mouth, his voice a little muffled, before emphasizing, "I want it so badly, I'm going crazy with longing."

Even though Gu Qingyan never hid his love, he rarely expressed it so directly.

Something unusual must be going on.

"What happened?"

Xu Zhaozhao lowered her voice, "Is things not going well overseas?"

"It went smoothly and has been taken care of. I can go back to China tomorrow." Gu Qingyan clearly didn't want to say more.

But the fact that he was smoking a cigarette was something Xu Zhaozhao couldn't hide even when they talked on the phone.

Xu Zhaozhao didn't ask any more questions, and joked, "That's unfortunate, I'm going to the Swan Awards ceremony tomorrow."

"It's such a shame I can't see my boyfriend who's coming home right away~"

"fine."

He must have thrown away his cigarette butt; his voice was a little hoarse. "Your boyfriend will come to see you."
