Shen Fu stood in front of the kitchen counter, wearing a pink apron, looking somewhat awkwardly comical.
But he didn't care at all.
Take the ingredients out of the bag one by one, and sort and wash them in an orderly manner.
The running tap was gushing water, and occasionally water splashed onto my white shirt, leaving spots and stains.
Shen Fu looks good in a shirt too.
It's not as sharp and formal as a suit; it has a touch of relaxed and casual home style.
His strong features were softened by the smile at the corner of his lips.
It naturally evokes a sense of closeness in people.
His chopping movements were skillful.
The sound of the cleaver hitting the cutting board was regular and clear.
This kind of relapse seems to be no different from the previous Aman.
Everything seemed unchanged.
Suddenly, Ning Wan's gaze fell on Shen Fu's wrist.
In that position, he should have been wearing a watch worth over ten thousand yuan to show off his status.
However, at this moment, the pink phone watch shattered Shen Fu's unique mature and composed demeanor.
This made him look even more inexplicably cute.
Ning Wan couldn't help but ask, "Did you go back today to get your watch?"
“Yes.” Shen Fu nodded and said solemnly, “Because this is the second gift Wanwan gave me, it is very important.”
A second one?
Ning Wan was puzzled.
She wanted to ask, but Ning Yanshu hurriedly called her away from outside the kitchen...
...
At night, before going to bed.
As usual, Li Hongxia was soaking her feet with the help of her maid.
As she aged, she not only had poor health but also difficulty digesting various organs, and she would often wake up several times at night.
After soaking my feet and getting a massage for a few minutes, the maid brought the water and prepared to leave.
Li Hongxia, still worried, instructed, "Be quiet, don't disturb Ah Xu."
The maid nodded, then stopped a few steps later: "Young Master Xu?"
At the doorway, Shen Xu leaned against the threshold, cautiously peeking out.
“Ah Xu.” Li Hongxia looked delighted to see Shen Xu.
She waved to him: "Come here, come to Grandma's side."
After hesitating for a long time, Shen Xu finally hugged the Ultraman Tiga doll and took small steps into the bedroom.
Li Hongxia's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at the doll that had appeared out of nowhere.
The servants left, leaving only the grandmother and grandson in the room.
Shen Xu stopped a step away from Li Hongxia.
Li Hongxia wasn't angry.
It was already quite remarkable that Shen Xu would step out of his room and come to find him.
What's more, because I threw away his toys and locked him in the villa.
Shen Xu has ignored her for six whole days.
Wearing pajamas, Li Hongxia was not as domineering as she was during the day; instead, she exuded a more approachable and friendly aura.
She smiled and asked with concern, "Why aren't you asleep yet, Xu? Can't you sleep?"
Shen Xu shook his head and hugged the doll even tighter.
Li Hongxia spoke softly, "Are you hungry? Shall I have the maid prepare some snacks for you?"
Shen Xu shook his head again.
"Grandma..." He mustered his courage and opened his mouth to say, "Grandma..."
Li Hongxia was stunned.
Shen Xu doesn't like to talk and never greets people on his own initiative.
She had forgotten how long it had been since she had heard the word "Grandma" again.
In an instant, tears welled up in her eyes: "Oh, Grandma's here. Grandma's here..."
Shen Xu looked at the old man, his voice still somewhat sluggish: "Go play... find. Little Book, go play."
Li Hongxia asked in confusion, "Does Xu want to go play outside the villa?"
Shen Xu shook his head frantically.
Seeing that Li Hongxia didn't understand what he meant, Shen Xu began to get a little anxious.
It babbles and occasionally adds the words "Little Book" or "Little Book".
Shen Yurong happened to pass by.
Hearing the commotion, he came over and asked, "What's going on?"
Shen Xu looked at him with red eyes.
Li Hongxia also asked him, "Who is my uncle? Or what is he?"
Shen Yurong understood: "Xiao Shu is Shen Fu's son. The little devil in the hospital that day."
Recalling the scene at the hospital, Li Hongxia was immediately filled with anger.
She immediately understood what Shen Xu meant.
"No way!" Li Hongxia refused sharply. "I will absolutely not allow you to have any contact with that bastard's family!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Xu's tears instantly began to fall.
Seeing this, Li Hongxia couldn't help but panic.
She raised her hand to comfort him, but saw Shen Xu hug the doll in his arms tightly: "Bad! Bad!...You're so annoying!"
After saying that, he ran away.
Li Hongxia stood there, stunned.
He said she was bad?
He said he hated her? ...
At this moment, endless sorrow welled up in Li Hongxia's heart...
...
Shen Yurong stood quietly to the side, without saying a word.
Looking at the old lady who was usually so aloof, all that remained in her eyes now was weakness and haggardness.
He couldn't quite explain how he felt.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
Li Hongxia lowered her head and waved her hand, signaling him to leave.
Before leaving, Shen Yurong closed the door behind her.
Through the crack in the door, you could still see the old man sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, lost in thought.
The dim bedside lamp enveloped her figure.
That slightly hunched back and stooped figure exuded an indescribable loneliness and solitude...
