Chapter 104 White Legs
Qi Sheng parked the car on the side of the road not far from the entrance of the community. In accordance with the agreement, he did not go in.
He watched Cola, carrying his small schoolbag, skipping and swiping his access card, and walking into the small villa area where he could faintly hear the sound of waves.
Just as Kele's figure was about to disappear around the corner, Qi Sheng made up his mind, pushed open the car door, and quickly followed.
He pretended to want to go in as well, and when passing through the pedestrian gate that required a card swipe, he deliberately slowed down a step. When the gate was about to close, he let out an exaggerated "ouch" and got his calf stuck in the gap of the door.
"Godfather!" Kele, who had already walked a few steps away, heard the voice and immediately ran back nervously, his little face full of worry, "What's wrong with you? Did you get caught in the door?"
He watched Qi Sheng frown in pain, holding onto the gate, then looked at the obviously wide gap in the door, his big eyes filled with confusion, "The gap is so big, why did you stick your legs in there, Godfather?"
Qi Sheng bared his teeth and acted exaggeratedly: "Oh, godfather wasn't paying attention, and my foot slipped... I think I sprained it, it hurts so much."
He looked at Kele pitifully and said, "Coke, do you have any Band-Aids at home? Or disinfectant? Godfather will put a Band-Aid on it, take care of it a little bit and leave. I will definitely not disturb your father."
Kele subconsciously wanted to use his weak healing ability, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the old man on duty in the guard room, looking curiously out, "What's wrong? Don't linger at the door."
"Uncle, it's okay, we'll go in right away." Qi Sheng said.
Kela thought: Dad has repeatedly warned me not to reveal my special abilities in front of ordinary people.
The little guy immediately gave up the idea and softened his heart when he saw Qi Sheng's "painful" look.
He hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Then... Godfather, let me help you in. I have a medicine box at home, but we agreed that you can leave after you've taken care of it!"
"Okay, okay, no problem." Qi Sheng agreed hurriedly, just waiting for these words.
Kele struggled to support the limping Qi Sheng and slowly walked towards his villa near the beach.
Just as they reached the door, a kind-looking lady in an apron came out to take out the trash. She was startled to see Kele holding a strange, handsome man and hurried forward: "Hey, little Kele, who is this?"
Kele answered first: "Aunt Zhang, this is our school's...teacher! Teacher Qi! He was accidentally injured at the door just now. I brought him back to treat his wound."
Qi Sheng immediately cooperated with an apologetic yet gentle smile: "Hello, Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you. I just sprained my ankle. I'll take care of it and leave soon. Please understand."
Aunt Zhang showed a trace of embarrassment on her face and looked at Kele: "Does your father know? Grandpa is not home today..."
Kele: Grandpa is not around. If Dad knew I brought a stranger back home...
He said stubbornly, "Dad is busy...Auntie, please help Teacher Qi to my room first."
Aunt Zhang was still hesitating, but Qi Sheng inconspicuously stepped closer, quickly pulled out a card with a special emblem from his pocket, and put it into Aunt Zhang's hand. He lowered his voice and said, "Auntie, this is a small token of my appreciation. It's an internal recommendation for the high school department of an aristocratic school. I heard your child is worried about further studies."
Aunt Zhang's eyes widened instantly. She looked at the card in her hand in disbelief, then looked at Qi Sheng. The embarrassment on her face was immediately replaced by surprise.
She put the card into her apron pocket, her tone instantly becoming warm and natural: "Oh, it's a teacher from school! We can't ignore injuries! Well... I suddenly remembered that there's something urgent at home, so I have to go back quickly!"
"Cola, please take good care of the teacher! Teacher, please do as you please!" After saying that, he almost ran away, and before leaving, he considerately left the gate of the villa ajar.
Kele was a little confused as he watched Aunt Zhang's quickly disappearing back, but he was just a child after all, and didn't have so many complicated emotions. He didn't think much about it and quickly helped Qi Sheng into his room.
Kele's room was decorated with childlike charm. The walls were a soft blue, covered with stickers of various sea creatures. There were several fish dolls on the bed, and a half-finished painting was spread out on the desk...
"My dad is going to livestream making figures tonight, so he must be busy right now and has no time to take care of me."
Cola explained quietly as he pulled out a small first aid kit from the bedside table, but after searching through it, he found no Band-Aids.
"Godfather, please sit down. I'll go get you some medicine."
"Cola... does your father like live streaming?" Qi Sheng's heart was in his throat, but he pretended to be calm on his face. He sat down on the edge of the bed and scanned every detail in the room calmly, trying to find more traces of Yu Li's life.
"Yes, Dad likes to do handicrafts, especially making mermaids. He broadcasts live every week on this day. He said that this way he can earn some money to buy delicious food for me." The little guy's tone was full of admiration for his father.
"Can I... watch your father's live broadcast?" Qi Sheng's voice trembled slightly.
Coke: "Sure, it's on that projector."
He pointed with his little hand to a device on the wall.
Qi Sheng took a deep breath, picked up the remote control next to him, and turned on the projection according to the simple instructions.
Cola tapped the projector with his little hands, and suddenly a live broadcast screen popped up.
In the picture, there are only a pair of busy hands and a workbench full of various tools.
The hands, with long, white fingers and distinct knuckles, were carefully shaping a piece of white clay, the outline of which was vaguely the tail of a fish.
Although he couldn't see the face, Qi Sheng recognized the hands at a glance.
The hand that had held his and stroked his cheek countless times.
Kele said, "I'm going to go downstairs to look for disinfectant and band-aids. Godfather, please wait here for me!"
"good."
The comments section is very active:
[Wow! The host's hands look great today too!]
What are you making today? A mermaid again?
[Hand control benefits! I can look at this hand all day! ]
[The host has great hands and the details are handled very well]
At this moment, a gentle and familiar voice slowly rang out through the speakers, with a softness that was unique to the depths of Qi Sheng's memory: "Today we're still making mermaids."
It was Yu Li's voice.
A moment.
Ecstasy, sadness, grievance, longing...
Countless emotions flooded him like a tsunami, and he froze in place, unable to even feel the fake pain in his foot.
"Hmm?" Yu Li, who was in the livestream, seemed to notice something, and asked with a hint of confusion, "Kola? Why are you online? Everyone, wait a moment. I'm going to check on my son doing his homework."
The comment section exploded instantly:
[??? The anchor has a son?]
[Oh my god! Married?!]
My dream is shattered! This beautiful hand is actually the father of a child!
[Is he married or divorced? Where is the child's father and mother?]
The number of viewers in the live broadcast room began to increase rapidly.
Qi Sheng heard Yu Li leave his seat, and then faint footsteps and a question came from the corridor outside the door: "Kole, are you doing your homework?"
Coke shouted downstairs: "Dad, I'm here!"
"What are you doing in the warehouse? You're not allowed to play until you finish your homework."
"I know! I...I accidentally cut my hand and wanted to find a Band-Aid, but there were none in the warehouse."
"The medicine is in the drawer. Look for it yourself. I'll check your homework in half an hour. Got it?"
"I know, Dad!"
After a sound of footsteps, Qi Sheng heard the door closing.
At this time, Coke also came in from outside with disinfectant and Band-Aids.
Then, he leaned over to Qi Sheng's legs and carefully disinfected his injured ankle...
Qi Sheng stood like a statue, motionless, his eyes fixed on the live broadcast on the screen.
The live broadcast resumed, but the comments were even more lively than before:
[Is the anchor really married? Please tell me! ]
Yu Li's voice was emotionless: "It's a personal matter, I'm not authorized to disclose it."
Is the child her biological child? I really want to know what kind of person can have a live streamer!
[Does the anchor's child need an Alpha father? What do you think of me? ]
…
Kele clumsily but carefully bandaged Qi Sheng's wound, then quickly pulled him out of bed: "Godfather, it's okay, it's okay, you can go now! Dad will be here to check your homework soon!"
Qi Sheng looked away from the light screen, his heart beating violently.
He had been searching for two years, and now, it was just across the door.
Coke pushed Qi Sheng out the door.
At the same time, the door of Yu Li's room opened.
He came out in simple home clothes.
Qi Sheng: ...
Yu Li:......
Coke: ...It's over.
Yu Li's figure was thinner than two years ago. The blood color on his delicate face instantly faded, and his eyes were filled with complex emotions.
But Qi Sheng saw two straight, white human legs under Yu Li, not a red fish tail!
"Cola!" Yu Li's voice was filled with obvious anger. "Who told you to bring a stranger in?"
Kele shrank his neck in fear and hid behind Qi Sheng, whispering in defense: "Dad, he is the kind Uncle Qi... He was injured, I brought him here to bandage him..."
Qi Sheng walked step by step towards the stiff figure standing at the door.
His eyes greedily depicted Yu Li's eyebrows and eyes, as if he wanted to make up for the blankness of the past two years.
His throat seemed to be blocked by something, and thousands of words surged in his chest, eventually turning into a hoarse cry filled with endless longing and pain: "Yu Li..."
Yu Li subconsciously took a half step back, avoiding Qi Sheng's outstretched hand, and interrupted him in a cold tone: "I don't know you, please leave!"
“…”
Qi Sheng's heart ached as if being stabbed by needles. He took a step closer and said, "I have been looking for you for the past two years. Since you have been in the Saar Federation, why don't you want to see me?"
His eyes involuntarily swept to Yu Li's legs, "What's wrong with your tail?"
Yu Li pursed his lips, avoiding Qi Sheng's burning gaze, turned sideways, and said in an even colder tone: "I don't know what you are talking about."
"..." Qi Sheng was already prepared for Yu Li to not accept him, "Cola is our child, right?"
"He's not!" Yu Li turned his head suddenly, "Cola is my child and has nothing to do with you."
"I've already taken a paternity test."
Cola:? ? ?
"You..." Yu Li looked at Kele, "Come here."
Qi Sheng, however, grabbed Yu Li's arm first. "His pheromones, his spirit body, how is it not like me? Even without a paternity test, I know he is our child."
"Let go of my dad!"
Kele saw Qi Sheng grabbing Yu Li. Although he didn't quite understand what the adults were arguing about, his instinct to protect his father made him rush forward and push Qi Sheng hard, "Bad godfather! Let my dad go! I don't like you anymore!"
The child's crying stunned the two arguing adults.
Yu Li took the opportunity to shake off Qi Sheng's hand and held Coke behind him.
He suddenly realized that Coke had just called Qi Sheng "godfather".
"Who taught you that?" Yu Li suddenly felt a little disappointed. "Didn't I tell you not to recognize relatives casually?"
"Uncle Zhai taught me."
"Uncle Zhai?..."
Could it be Zhai Wenxi?
Yu Li then realized that his silly kid had been targeted for a long time.
"Yeah, yeah!" Cola nodded.
"Go to your room and do your homework. Don't come out." Yu Li said.
Kele scratched his head in confusion and said worriedly, "Then Dad, don't quarrel with Godfather! Godfather is really a very good person."
"Shut up." Yu Li had a headache and turned his gaze to Qi Sheng, "Come to my room and talk."
