Chapter 272 Reason
Seeing that there was no place to hide, Xu Qingsui could only sigh helplessly and found an excuse to say, "Mr. Huo, it's getting late. You should go back to your room and get some rest. My son got frightened today. I'll coax him to sleep first."
"Are you scared by such a thing?" Huo Xilin said nonchalantly, "My son, Huo Xilin, must be upright and not be spoiled and irresponsible!"
His original intention was to comfort his son that this was a trivial matter and not worth taking seriously at all.
However, to Xu Qingsui's ears, it had a different meaning.
She was almost driven crazy. As a father, he didn't say a word at the critical moment. After the problem was solved, not only did he not comfort his son, but he came to make sarcastic remarks.
She could no longer endure it and said coldly, "I already know the whole story of what happened today. Even if my son accidentally pushed Yan Linzhou and injured him, he also realized his impulsive mistake and promised me that he would not act impulsively again. Until now, he is still concerned about Yan Linzhou's injury. You say he is irresponsible, then tell me, he is only a three-year-old child, what should he do to be considered responsible?"
Huo Xilin did not expect that the nice words he said to comfort his son would make Xu Qingsui so furious.
At this moment, she was like a hedgehog protecting her cubs, and she would prick anyone who got close to her.
Huo Xilin sighed helplessly and explained, "That's not what I meant?"
"What do you mean? As a father, have you ever really understood the whole story? I know Yan Linzhou is injured, and you should protect them, but my son did nothing wrong in this matter, so don't even think about making trouble for him. If you insist on making trouble, I am his mother, and as a guardian, I am willing to pay any price for my son's behavior. Just come to me!"
Xu Qingsui admitted that her words contained resentment and dissatisfaction towards Huo Xilin, as well as some anger.
"Don't be angry. I don't want to cause trouble for my son. I don't think our son did anything wrong in this matter. I don't mean to blame him, and I won't cause trouble for you." Huo Xilin explained helplessly: "What I meant by saying that is that my son should not have any psychological burden. This matter is not his fault, and he should not be affected by anything."
"Really?" Xu Qingsui asked half-doubtfully.
After hearing his explanation, her anger instantly dissipated.
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would tell lies? It's even more difficult because I know the ins and outs of the matter. This matter is not our son's fault. It's because Yan Linzhou is too ignorant." Huo Xilin frowned, showing his displeasure in his eyes.
He hated Yan Xisui, but he did not dislike her child as well. However, he really could not like Yan Linzhou at all. There was an evil spirit about the child, which was not like that of a child of that age.
If this matter was not related to his own son, he would not even bother to pay any attention to the mother and son.
The reason why he was willing to handle the matter personally was that he didn't want his son to have a psychological burden, thinking that it was his fault that Yan Linzhou was hurt. If they cured the person, who would dare to say anything in the future.
He is Huo Xilin's son, and no one is qualified to tell him what to do.
Seeing that Huo Xilin was not biased, Xu Qingsui finally felt a little more balanced and said, "It's no use for you to tell me this. My son still can't sleep. He is obviously frightened. You should talk to him properly."
After Xu Qingsui finished speaking, he pulled his hand away and said, "I'm hungry. I'm going out to cook something. Do you two want to eat?"
Huo Xilin knew clearly that she was making room for them and his son. He was very touched and gave her a grateful look: "You should eat. It happens that you haven't eaten yet tonight."
"What do you want to eat?"
"Mommy, I want to be with you." Obviously, the little guy was angry and not so easy to coax. At this moment, he didn't want to be alone with his father.
"Just stay in the room and wait for Mommy, okay?" Xu Qingsui coaxed patiently.
The little guy was quite obedient and could only reluctantly agree: "Okay, Mommy, I want to eat glutinous rice balls."
"Okay, Mommy will cook for you." Xu Qingsui knew his son. Whenever he was in a bad mood, he wanted to eat sweets.
In this respect, he is somewhat similar to Huo Xilin.
"What about you?" Xu Qingsui turned and asked Huo Xilin.
"It's all right, as long as you make it. Of course, it would be even better if it can be made of glutinous rice balls like my son's."
Xu Qingsui rolled his eyes speechlessly, put on a coat, walked out of Xu Youyou's room, and closed the door instantly.
Suddenly, only the father and son were left in the room, staring at each other.
In the end, Huo Xilin surrendered and hugged the little guy in his arms.
Xu Youyou struggled at first, but in Huo Xilin's strong arms, no matter how he squirmed it was in vain. In the end, he could only give up breathlessly.
Huo Xilin asked patiently, "Are you still angry with Dad?"
The little guy snorted coldly and turned his head to the side, as if he said nothing, but also as if he said everything.
Huo Xilin seemed to see the shadow of Xu Qingsui in her son. She was gentle and calm most of the time, but once she got really angry, it would take a long time to comfort her and she had a stubborn streak.
"It happened suddenly. Dad neglected you today. Dad apologizes to you." Huo Xilin lowered his status and spoke to the little guy in a good way: "Dad also knows that this incident was just an accident, not your fault, so Dad has never blamed you. On the contrary, Dad even thinks you did the right thing. You protected yourself at the critical moment and also protected the people you wanted to protect. This is very brave."
The little guy suddenly became shy after being praised, and stammered, "I... I also did something wrong. I was too impulsive and caused serious consequences. I will never be so impulsive again in the future."
Seeing his son being so sensible, Huo Xilin was very pleased. He said to the child, "Don't let anyone in this world bully you. We must deal with problems in an appropriate way. Remember, except for the people you care about, no one is worth putting you in danger. Do you understand?"
Xu Youyou was a little confused. He was too young, and he didn't understand everything his father said, but he understood some of it.
He nodded, not quite understanding: "Dad, I will grow up slowly."
