He Xiao returned to the He family home half an hour later.
The 185cm tall boy was so drunk he was staggering around. When he got home, he hugged the toilet and vomited incessantly, as if he wanted to vomit up all his bitter gall.
Seeing this, Shen Linyue was both terrified and annoyed, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
The butler had already gone to prepare a hangover soup, and He Liyu was by his side, his expression unreadable.
Only Pei Wenqing, who was completely bewildered by the situation, looked surprised and curious.
"What's wrong with Brother Xiao? You don't need to bow so much when you see me."
When He Xiao was helped in by the bodyguard, he lost his balance and fell to his knees in front of Pei Wenqing, which gave him a big fright.
The next second, He Xiao saw Shen Linyue, hugged her leg and started sobbing, but he didn't say anything incoherent.
Of course, this scene was captured on camera by the well-mannered Pei Wenqing.
In the end, the boy, who was as limp as a shrimp, was dragged away by his own father, which led to the scene before us.
Shen Linyue was still in a daze. She glanced at Pei Wenqing, pursed her lips, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I'll go see if the doctor has arrived yet."
Pei Wenqing was even more confused.
...
He Xiao woke up again at noon the next day.
The hangover was causing a splitting headache. Just as I was holding my head, a hand reached out.
He Xiao was startled and looked up to see his father looking around with an indifferent expression.
Damn, when did he get back?!
"Take the medicine to relieve your headache," He Liyu said in a low voice.
He had been sitting there for who knows how long, and his voice was still a little hoarse.
He Xiao: "..."
He obediently drank water and took his medicine, and was about to ask something.
He Liyu, dressed in casual clothes, stood up and said, "Since you're awake, come downstairs and get something to eat."
He paused for a moment and then said, "You can't hold your liquor well, so don't get yourself drunk next time."
He Xiao, who was slow to react, finally realized what was happening, and his expression was very cold.
"How did you find me? Did I say I wanted to come back?"
Hearing the boy's defiant words, He Liyu turned around and looked at him with a strange gaze, as if he were looking at a silly child: "Your friend's studio is under the He Group, so it's strange that I was able to find you?"
He Xiao: "..."
"Eat something to warm your stomach, don't let those who are worried about you continue to worry." After saying this, He Liyu prepared to leave.
The boy reacted strongly: "What does it have to do with me? Why should I care about other people's feelings?"
He Liyu paused in his steps, "Can't I even worry about you?"
He didn't use how much Shen Linyue had sacrificed for him as an answer, because that would not only fail to make the boy feel guilty, but would also trigger his rebellious mentality.
This is what He Liyu has learned over the years.
He Xiao stared at him, pursed his lips, and said, "You two are in cahoots. Please leave. I don't want to see you for the time being."
He looked away, not wanting to see He Liyu's disappointed or other expressions.
He Liyu paused for a moment, then sat back down on the stool, his gaze even more serious than before.
“You are an adult now, and you should figure out many things for yourself,” He Liyu said softly. “Although I have never explained it, I have never hidden my care and concern for A-Yue from you.”
"She didn't lie to you. She is only your mother in name, but not the one who gave birth to you and accompanied you as you grew up."
“Ah Xiao, don’t try to deceive yourself. Be clear-headed. There are many things in this world that science cannot explain.”
After saying this, He Liyu did not wait for He Xiao's reply, got up and left, gently closing the door behind him.
He had said all he could; what remained for He Xiao to consider were matters he needed to face and figure out.
Soon only He Xiao remained in the room. He vented his anger haphazardly on the blankets, then stopped only after realizing how foolish his behavior had been.
I searched everywhere for my phone and finally found it lying on the bedside table.
He picked up the phone to check the time; it was 11:20 a.m. He noticed that several people had already replied to his post from yesterday.
He Xiao clicked on it subconsciously and saw a comment followed by several replies.
This brand of bag has been discontinued for many years. I have one at home, and my mom still carries it every day when she goes out to buy groceries. The embroidery on this bag is very unique, which is why I've always remembered it. I didn't expect you to be able to find it. It looks quite new! Do you have a link?
【I know! My grandma used to work at this factory, and all the embroidery was handmade and very exquisite! But the one my grandma made isn't as delicate as the one the original poster made.】
[I agree with the comment above. I quite like the photos the original poster posted, but I couldn't find them online.]
After reading the comments, He Xiao thought, "..." I'm an atheist, I believe in science, I... damn it!
...
He Xiao was practically writhing in bed, and it took him an hour to eat some of the food the housekeeper brought before he finally decided to go downstairs to check on things.
Regardless of Lin Yue's true identity, it was wrong of her to deceive him, so he still wanted to leave her alone for a few days.
Just as I slowly walked downstairs, a strange, boyish voice rang out in a sticky, cloying tone.
"Auntie, when are we going out to play?"
"Auntie, are there any local specialties around here? I'd like to bring some back for Grandma."
"Auntie, play two more games with me, this time I want to try Yao."
He Xiao: ? ? ?
I was only gone for a day and my house got robbed?! Huh?!
Shen Linyue was exhausted after being clung to by Pei Wenqing all morning, but when she saw his exotic face, her fatigue vanished without a trace.
Being handsome can put food on the table.
The longer they spent together, the more obvious Pei Wenqing's personality became; he was a clingy boy who knew how to act cute.
In half a day, Shen Linyue had agreed to countless things for him. :)
This was completely different from her interactions with He Xiao, which she found very novel.
“It’s possible, but we’ve been playing games all morning and we still can’t get past Silver. Haven’t you had enough of being wrecked yet?” Shen Linyue said.
Pei Wenqing said innocently, "The other side is very strong, but I think my skills are improving as well."
Shen Linyue: "..." Well, this is a simple-minded silly child.
The two of them together were even worse than the AI.
Another game is over, and I'm resigned to defeat.
As Shen Linyue was pondering how to persuade the boy to turn back from the wrong path, a very light and contemptuous laugh rang out from behind the sofa.
Shen Linyue froze, then turned around to look at the boy. The boy met her gaze for a moment before looking away indifferently.
He looked Pei Wenqing up and down with a critical and disdainful gaze, his brows furrowing and his eyes filled with doubt.
It looks familiar, but I can't quite place it.
This kid calls Shen Linyue his aunt?
Pei Wenqing noticed Shen Linyue's reaction and looked back. When he saw He Xiao, his azure eyes lit up instantly.
"Brother Xiao! You're finally awake!" The boy stood up excitedly. The two were about the same height, but each had his own unique charm.
"Stop!" Just as the boy lunged at him, He Xiao nimbly dodged and shouted, "Whose brat are you?"
Pei Wenqing: Huh?
No one told him that He Xiao didn't remember him at all.
