Chapter 52 Reminiscing about the past, childhood memories...
More than ten years ago.
"dad!"
Shi Yu's childish voice flew out from upstairs before his own.
Father Shi was sitting on the sofa and talking to the man opposite him. He had a serious face one second, and turned his head and smiled happily the next second: "Hey, whose little lazy bug woke up!?"
"We are not lazy bugs, right Xiaoyu~"
"Not really!"
A gentle and pleasant voice and a childish voice sang in harmony, and the father laughed even louder when he heard it.
Xiao Shiyu was held in her mother's arms and walked down from upstairs.
When Shi's mother was young, she was a famous beauty in the area. Now she is only in her thirties, but her appearance is still the same as before, and she has added a lot of charm of a mature woman.
Xiaoyu was a little older, with fair skin and a pair of clear eyes that blinked on her chubby face.
He was holding a brown stuffed bear in his arms and wearing a set of blue star pajamas.
Compared with these, what is more noticeable is his black hair, which looks as "lively" as if it had just been swept by a tornado.
When the child saw his father, he chuckled and opened his arms to hug him.
Shi's father took him from Shi's mother.
Xiao Yu rubbed himself happily in his father's arms. Just as he was about to change his posture and roll around again, he suddenly realized that a strange pair of eyes were looking at him.
He turned around in confusion and found a young man with a smile on his face.
The man was wearing a navy blue shirt and a pair of frameless glasses. When he looked over, his dark eyes hidden under the frameless glasses darkened for an unknown reason, as if a malicious light flashed across them.
Children are the most sensitive to emotions.
Almost in the next second, he quickly quieted down, hugged his father's neck, shrank back, stuck out his little butt, and hid his face tightly.
Shi's father smoothed down the man's hair and realized that he couldn't change the messy black stripes at all. He looked at his wife helplessly.
Shi's mother: "Xiaoyu, this is Dad's partner, you can just call him Uncle Zheng."
Now that things have come to this, according to the child's previous personality, he would have curiously run in front of the person and looked around.
What's going on today?
Weren't you very happy just now?
The father handed the child to his wife with doubt and coaxed her softly. After the child nodded obediently, he smiled as if relieved of a heavy burden, full of love.
Shi's mother touched Shi Yu's head and carried him back upstairs.
"Okay, now that we've met your dad, should we go back and change our clothes?"
Shi Yu groaned, leaned on his mother's shoulder, raised his head, and met Zheng Lin's cold eyes.
He was frightened and started crying with a pouty mouth.
Shi's mother didn't expect this sudden change and was immediately a little surprised: "What's going on?"
While coaxing him, she took Shi Yun and disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
Zheng Lin's tone was somewhat worried: "Isn't he scared by me?"
Father Shi took a sip of tea and waved his hand: "No."
As soon as the child left, he didn't want to talk about family matters anymore. He turned back to his work and continued, "Okay, go back and inform all board members that this election will be held as scheduled."
Zheng Lin nodded and stood up to leave.
Father Shi adjusted his cuffs, and his voice was completely different from before.
"Zheng Lin, I promoted you. You should know what to do and what not to do."
Zheng Lin broke out in a cold sweat.
"Chairman, I—"
Father Shi raised his hand to stop him and said something meaningless: "You'd better wear a white shirt."
A few days later.
Shi Yu happily ran to the villa opposite to play with An Huaixu.
He stood in front of the huge door and shouted to the guard: "Uncle, I'm looking for Brother Huaixi!"
The security guard recognized him and let him in with a smile.
He rubbed the child's head and took out a piece of candy from his pocket.
When Shi Yu saw the delicious food, his eyes lit up!
“Thank you, uncle!”
After saying that, he ran into the house.
"Brother Huaixi!"
Huaixu's parents were not at home, only the nanny Aunt Lin was there.
Xiao Yu was mumbling to and fro in the room.
"Aunt Lin said that Brother Huaixi was here just now, how come he is gone now... Hey, little butterfly!"
He played with a small butterfly flying in the air for a long time, and when he looked up, he was instantly attracted by something else: "Hey, what's that over there?"
Xiao Shiyu ran towards the corner.
Behind him, out of sight, little An Huaixu, dressed in a neat shirt and shorts, half of his head showed out. After looking at Shi Yun quietly for a while, he shrank back.
He sat cross-legged on the lawn and continued to look at the test paper in his hand.
Because his tutor said that his grades had dropped recently, he couldn't concentrate and was in a bad mood, so he locked himself in the world of study and couldn't get out.
For him now, everything except studying is troublesome.
Not to mention the little kids who would pull him and play endlessly.
He couldn't understand why there was a child who loved to cry, make noise and laugh so much, and why adults liked him so much.
He just felt it was troublesome.
Xiao An Huaixu sighed, turned a page of the book, and thought:
Forget it, after I finish this question, I'll go out and play with him for a while.
Otherwise he would start crying and my mom would scold me again.
He blocked out the outside world and continued to indulge in the ocean of knowledge.
Outside, Shi Yu was still looking for him relentlessly. He seemed to think that An Huaixu was playing hide-and-seek with him. His excited voice kept echoing in the courtyard.
An Huaixu took a deep breath and forced himself to concentrate.
This was a problem for high school students, and it was very difficult for him now. But after half a day of hard work, he already had a vague idea of how to solve it.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s too serious or something else.
The rain in the yard gradually quieted down.
He studied the question carefully, and finally an inspiration came to him, giving him a complete idea for solving the problem.
He picked up his pen and wrote it down quickly.
For a moment, the only sounds echoing in his ears were the rustling of the wind and the sound of the pen tip rubbing against the notebook.
I don't know how long it took, but after he wrote down the final number and checked the answer, he found that it was completely correct. The tense nerve in his heart finally relaxed.
"He must have been waiting for a long time..."
Xiao An Huaixu packed up his books without stopping, thinking in a good mood, if I show this problem to the teacher, he will probably not scold me anymore, and I can have a good time playing with that kid today.
Xiao An Huaixu walked out from the corner in a pretentious manner, coughed, looked up and was about to say something, but found that the courtyard was already empty.
He was stunned for a moment, not expecting this scene.
What happened to Shi Yu?
In the past, he couldn’t find him, but he would always wait for him at home. What happened today?
Xiao An Huaixu pushed open the door, his steps so flustered that he didn't even notice it.
He rushed to Aunt Lin, raised his little face and asked: "Aunt Lin, Shi Yu..."
Where did Shi Yu go? Why didn’t he wait for me?
He was too embarrassed to ask directly, so he said a name, braked the car, clutched the seam of his trousers, lowered his head and then raised it again, staring at Aunt Lin stubbornly.
Aunt Lin was surprised for a moment when she saw him: "Hey, Xiao An, you are here?"
She had watched An Huaixu grow up, so she could tell what he was thinking at a glance.
She smiled and took out two cartons of milk from the cabinet behind her: "Xiaoyu went to play with Zeze."
"Qize..."
Xiao An Huaixu's tone sounded like he didn't like this person very much.
He took the milk, said thank you, turned and ran out the door.
Aunt Lin knew exactly what these children were thinking.
At first, she also thought that Xiao An didn't like playing with Xiao Yu, but since Qi Ze appeared, Xiao Yu no longer wanted to play with Xiao An every day. She clearly felt that Xiao An was very angry about this and realized that -
This weird kid actually likes Xiaoyu very much.
It’s just that Xiao An has never been good at expressing himself since he was young, and he knows how to hide his true emotions.
His strong character makes him demand very much of himself and he is very self-disciplined. He will never play for even a second until he completes the assigned learning tasks.
This will actually make him lose his childish nature.
Sometimes she felt heartbroken just looking at it.
An Huaixu quickly arrived at Qi Ze's door.
As soon as he stood still, he felt a little annoyed again.
Shi Yu didn't wait for him and played with whoever she wanted to play with. How did that bother him?
Instead of spending this much time, he might as well read more books.
An Huaixu stared at the milk in his hand, stood quietly for a few seconds, then turned around and was about to walk back.
But the people in Qi Ze's family had already noticed him, and the nanny came up to him and asked, "Isn't this Xiao An? What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
An Huaixu couldn't leave now.
He turned around and asked, "Is Shi Yu here? I'm looking for him."
The nanny was a little surprised: "Master Xiaoyu didn't come to see Master Xiaoze today."
An Huaixu frowned and became even more dissatisfied.
Shi Yu is a person who will do something immediately once he says he is going to do it, and he will never lie to others.
What's wrong with him today? Is he mad at me because I didn't play with him?
An Huaixu didn't look very good. He said thank you and walked towards his home.
Well, no matter whether Shi Yu is angry or not, he is extremely angry now.
He subconsciously wanted to just ignore it, but for some reason, an idea in his mind made him run towards Shi's house uncontrollably. There was even a voice telling him that he must go and see Shi Yu today.
They lived in a villa area where housing prices were expensive. Apart from their families, there were no other people living around.
The scenery here is very beautiful. It faces the sea to the south and there is a forest park on the left. You can often see cute little animals like hamsters.
Shi's family is in the direction closest to the park, while Qi's family is opposite to his family.
It takes quite some time for An Huaixu to get there.
His actual physical fitness was not very good, and he slowed down after running for a while.
He stood at a corner, propped up his knees to catch his breath for a moment, and inadvertently turned his head to look at the white SUV that flashed by at the opposite intersection.
After being stunned for a few seconds, he came to his senses and continued running towards the Shi family.
A few minutes later.
As soon as he stood at the door of Shi's house, Shi's mother and An's mother, who were sitting in the yard drinking tea, saw him and asked in shock: "Xiao An, why are you here? Where is Xiao Yu?"
They seemed a little surprised that the two of them were not together.
