"I'm not a bother..."
Caius muttered something, and when he looked up again, his eyes were firm: "Don't worry, I won't let you get into trouble." Not only will he not bring trouble, he can also help solve the trouble.
Li Qiao didn't say anything and shifted his gaze to the two little guys' faces.
They were both still staring at Caius.
It should be a surprise, right?
After all, I was a little depressed and in a bad mood when I just came back.
She hadn't expected that Caius would have such a big influence on the child.
Perhaps she really can't replace her father's role...
If Caius had no ill intentions, she wouldn't say much, as long as he was good to the child. She was used to thinking the worst of people, which didn't seem right, so maybe she could try to believe him for once.
"I hope you can do what you say."
Having said this, there is nothing more to say.
Caius didn't feel embarrassed at all, and his face was filled with a smile that looked as if it was printed, a little fake.
Li Qiao didn't have time to continue the meaningless stare-gaze with him, so he stood up and said, "Do as you please. I'm going to take a rest."
Then he turned to the two children and said, "Play for a while and then go for lunch break."
When she was done, she walked around the sofa and into her bedroom to catch up on her sleep.
Caius: “…”
Is it so casual?
But fortunately, at least they didn't say they would kick him out.
What's more, if Li Qiao treated him with normal hospitality, he would feel uncomfortable. It's fine like this now.
I don't even try to pretend.
Do you really hate him that much? Sigh, he doesn't even want to look at me for more than a second...
"Kid, your mom must be very tired, right?"
As he spoke, he asked himself and answered, "That must be the case." Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to rest.
"Be careful next time. If you want to have fun, just come find me."
He patted his chest and made the promise, seeming very happy.
However, neither of the two children paid much attention to what he said.
"When are you leaving?"
Li Yao's tone was not very good.
He couldn't say he disliked this man.
But the premise is that this person will not come to their family.
Distance creates beauty, so isn't it good to be far away? Why do you have to get closer?
"Walk?"
Caius pinched his ear and said lightly, "I'm not leaving."
"From now on, I can see you every day. You can come to me if you have any problems. Are you happy?"
Unhappy.
Li Yao slapped his hand away, with a sad face, "We don't need you."
The truth always hurts.
Caius twitched the corners of his lips slightly, feeling somewhat helpless, and sighed softly, "I understand."
"It's me who needs you."
The words were spoken very softly, so softly that Li Yao thought he had misheard. He widened his eyes and stared at him in confusion, as if he was looking at some strange animal.
"What are you talking about?"
Caius stopped talking, a smile on his face again, and jokingly said, "Don't you always say good things twice?"
"Whatever you want!"
The child who was originally next to him jumped off the sofa and ran to the other corner of the living room. He sat on the small sofa near the window and played on his tablet with headphones on one ear.
The refusal to communicate is obvious.
Caius stared at the child's back for a long time, laughed at himself, and muttered to himself in a low voice: "Stinky kid, do you hate me that much?"
"Uncle, are you going to cry?"
Little Li Yao opened his big watery eyes and even reached out to pull out a tissue and handed it to him.
Caius' heart warmed, "Yes, no one pays attention to uncle, uncle feels very sad."
Little Li Yao scratched his head in distress, and after a while he spoke to comfort her, "It's okay, I'm here to accompany uncle."
Seeing that his uncle's face was still a little sad, he added softly: "Actually... brother doesn't hate you either."
Otherwise, mom would have kicked you out long ago, uncle!
The child is small, but not stupid. He knows everything.
"Really?" Caius raised his eyebrows slightly. Why didn't he believe this?
The little guy nodded heavily, "Really? Good kids never lie!"
Caius was amused and gently pinched his chubby face. "Okay, I believe you. You are such a good boy, little darling."
"Uncle, do you want to live in our house?"
Although the little guy vaguely knew that Caius was his biological father, the concept of home was different for him. The home of him, his brother and his mother had nothing to do with this uncle.
The little guy felt a little uncomfortable thinking about having one more person at home and didn't want him to move in.
"I'd like to, but it's impossible, baby."
Caius smiled and lifted him onto his lap. "But, uncle can buy the house next door. You can come to see me anytime."
"My house is yours. You can come anytime."
He spoke in a resounding voice, but the child didn't understand and directly retorted: "No!"
"Uncle's, it's uncle's. I don't want it."
He doesn't want anyone else's, otherwise his mother will definitely be angry if she finds out.
In fact, next door...
It also belongs to Li Qiao.
He couldn't buy it even if he wanted to.
Li Qiao bought the upstairs and the house next door a long time ago and has no intention of selling them, and he will not sell them to Caius.
However, this did not bother him, as the process was a little tortuous.
Let’s not talk about the fact that he later bought the house downstairs at a high price. Now, he stays in other people’s houses and refuses to leave. He is very shameless and goes wherever the child goes.
However, the child had been playing for the whole morning and felt sleepy after playing for a while. His eyelids drooped and his little head nodded.
Little Li Yao was too sleepy to open his eyes, but he was still trying hard to keep them open.
He promised to accompany his uncle...
But I’m really sleepy.
"I'll take you to bed."
Caius picked him up, walked towards the bedroom, and asked, "Which one is yours?"
The little guy pointed embarrassedly to the room near Li Qiao's room and whined, "I'm sorry, uncle..." He didn't do what he said.
"What are you sorry for?" Caius waved his hand. "I should apologize to you. I was the one who delayed your lunch break."
As he spoke, he walked into the child's bedroom. At first glance, he saw the painting he had given him, and his mood instantly became happy.
It turns out that I’m not that disgusting…
"Do you need a story?" he asked.
"No thanks! Thank you, uncle."
Little Li Yao shook his head shyly.
He and his uncle are not that familiar yet.
"Okay. Then you go to sleep well, and your uncle won't disturb you here."
As he spoke, he touched the top of the child's head, stood up and left the room, closing the door gently.
As soon as he went out, he had a smile on his face and didn't pay much attention to the road. He was not careful and almost bumped into the child who was blocking his way.
"You can go now."
