77. Su Fuxing, Su Fulin
"I call you sister, so what should I call my father, uncle?"
Actually, my uncle could just about do it, but Su Zhi thought about Mr. Xia's young face.
"Just call me brother."
Xia Chi was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted.
"Oh, okay, that means you and my dad are still husband and wife, and I'm just an accident. You don't want to acknowledge me, right?"
"It's not that I don't acknowledge it," Su Zhi said matter-of-factly, "It's just a title. If you want to follow me, just be obedient."
After she finished speaking, she raised her hand and touched the head of the boy who was more than ten centimeters taller than her with great effort, "I'm sorry for inconvenience you these days, be good~"
Xia Chi then hummed and stopped talking.
Coincidentally, Xia Linxing came down carrying two boxes.
"Okay, let's go."
When Xia Chi heard the voice and looked over, he was stunned when he saw his outfit.
"Dad, why are you dressed like this?" Xia Chi asked in amazement.
When Su Wei heard what the boy said, she turned around and was slightly stunned.
It was seen that the man who had always been gentle, reserved and had a strong aura, had undergone a drastic change in temperament at this moment.
Her short dark chestnut hair completely hung down, covering her handsome and extremely intimidating sharp eyebrows. She looked very... young, like a grown man.
Also, the bright and affectionate peach eyes were blocked by a pair of silver-rimmed glasses. Through the layer of lenses, the warm and clear temperament also changed drastically, becoming less warm and more gentle and cold.
Looking at his outfit again, there is nothing high-end or haute couture about him, just a simple black down jacket with black trousers. Although he looks very fashionable in it, it is obviously not in line with his status.
Xia Chi was incredulous, "Dad, why are you dressed like this..."
What what?
Xia Chi wanted to say he was poor, after all, his dad's outfit didn't look like it cost more than 1,000 yuan.
However, his father's temperament cannot stop his nobleness. Even if they are cheap clothes, they look good on him. He does not look poor at all.
Xia Chi considered the wording and finally found a suitable word: simple.
"Dad, why are you dressed so simply today?"
Xia Linxing gracefully pushed up his glasses which had dropped slightly, and glanced at Su Zhi indifferently.
"Your stepmother told you to dress more simply and not look too rich."
"Why?" Xia Chi was puzzled.
"You will understand when the time comes." Su Zhi did not explain the matter any further.
She walked closer, tiptoed slightly, straightened Xia Linxing's collar, and whispered, "Mr. Xia."
"This outfit is not suitable. It is too expensive."
Xia Linxing narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled helplessly, "Then I will change it again?"
“No need.” Su Zhi shook her head.
The nobility she was referring to here was related to his own temperament, which could not be concealed even if he pushed his bangs thicker to look like a nerd, or simply put on a plaid shirt.
"That's it."
She held his arm and said with a smile: "Remember, your name now is Su Fuxing, and you come from a small mountain village in the backwaters of Mocheng."
"When someone asks you what you do, just say you work with me in an electronics factory, you don't have a car or a house, and you only make about 3,000 yuan a month."
"If someone says you look like Xia Linxing, don't admit that you are one no matter what."
Xia Linxing nodded slightly, "Okay."
Xia Chi was stunned when he heard this: "Ah, why?"
He asked curiously, "What about me? Don't I have an identity?"
Su Zhi looked at him, "Um, you~"
"Just say you are your father's younger brother, named Su Fulin. If anyone asks you, just say you are still in high school. If they ask you anything else, just play dumb. Remember that?"
It feels like being a spy.
"A nice earthy name."
Xia Chi complained, but still nodded: "Okay, I'll remember it."
Su Zhi nodded slightly, "Okay, let's go."
…
On the plane to the border town.
In the back seat, Xia Chi was speechless as he watched Su Zhi apply black powder on his father's face and neck.
In a short while, his father's cold white skin turned into copper color.
Although he was still handsome, his imposing aura of coolness and nobility suddenly diminished a lot.
Now, unless you try hard to associate his father with Xia Linxing, you might not be able to recognize him.
After Su Zhi finished scolding her husband, she turned her gaze to Xia Chi.
The late summer gave me goosebumps.
"No, I want one too?"
His expression was indescribable.
Su Zhi handed him a pair of black-framed glasses and said, "Of course. Haven't you been on a variety show? What if someone recognizes you?"
Xia Chi: ...
Why do I feel so guilty about stealing?
Although she brought him and his father out openly, she still felt ashamed.
He took the black-framed glasses she handed him without saying a word, and then muttered in dissatisfaction: "Why are my glasses so ugly and so rustic?"
His dad's one at least has silver trim and fine wire!
Su Zhi snapped her fingers and said, "Don't worry, we have them all."
After saying that, she took off Xia Linxing's silver-rimmed fine-wire glasses without saying a word and replaced them with the same black-rimmed large square-frame glasses as Xia Chi.
"Well, it still looks good."
After she replaced her glasses, she held Xia Linxing's face and muttered so.
Xia Linxing looked at her quietly, his inky black eyes were like dots of lacquer, deep and beautiful, "Thank you."
Su Wei was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but give him a light kiss on the lips.
"Mr. Xia, you must have been very obedient and cute when you were a child."
He is really polite. If you think of the little version of Xia Linxing when he was a child, he must be so cute!
She paused and added, "Yeah, it's cute now, too."
Xia Chi behind him couldn't bear to listen any more.
His dad is very well behaved and cute?
He couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "How can my dad be so obedient or cute?"
"You didn't see him escape by climbing over the wall when he was a student..."
Before he could finish his words, Xia Linxing suddenly swung at him with a knife.
Xia Chi: ...
Su Zhi was itching to be kept in suspense by him, "Climb over the wall, escape?"
Xia Chi looked down at someone's cold gaze and said, "No, you heard it wrong."
Su Zhi said "oh" meaningfully and stopped talking.
The plane to the border town of Pingwu arrived four hours later.
The moment he got off the plane, Xia Chi looked around the small district of this strange city with curiosity.
After a moment, he muttered, "We are so backward, much worse than Yancheng."
Su Zhi rarely refuted.
Yancheng is the capital of China and is naturally prosperous.
But this border town is the most backward and has the highest crime rate among all cities in China.
Pingwu City is the most backward urban area among the border towns.
If it weren't for the national policy of connecting all cities with airplanes, this place wouldn't even be accessible by plane.
"Mom, did you grow up in a place like this?"
Xia Chi stared at Su Zhi in disbelief.
How could such a poor and remote place produce a beautiful lady like his mother?
