Shi Xi walked up to the man and suddenly kicked him in the chest with no restraint.
"Hmm..."
The man let out a painful groan from his throat, and he raised his eyes to glare fiercely at Shi Xi.
"Yu Jiu'an, you dare hit someone? I'll tell the counselor..."
Shi Xi looked down at him with a cold and distant gaze, seemingly unconcerned about what he was saying.
"You hurt my child."
"Apologize to him."
Shi Xi's tone was calm, yet it inexplicably carried a sense of oppression.
\"Apologize.\"
He increased the pressure on his feet.
The man's face was bluish-purple, and he felt as if his ribs were about to be broken. He looked at Song Guizhou standing to the side and panted heavily:
"...I was wrong just now...I shouldn't have...hit you..."
"I'm sorry...it's my fault..."
Song Guizhou's face was expressionless, but he didn't want to cause trouble for Shi Xi, so he nodded.
Shi Xi then lifted her foot.
He pulled the boy up from the ground, patted his face, and said, "Don't bother the counselor with minor squabbles between classmates, understand?"
The man replied with a single word, "I understand," and then fled the large classroom without looking back.
Shi Xi looked at Song Guizhou, "Come with me."
Song Guizhou followed behind him silently, looking like a well-behaved child.
Shi Xi led him to the infirmary.
It was lunchtime, and there was hardly anyone in the clinic except for a doctor in his early forties on duty.
"Young man, you've been fighting?" The doctor knew what had happened just by looking at the situation.
Song Guizhou hummed in agreement, sat upright in the chair with his legs together, and let the doctor disinfect and bandage him.
The moment the disinfectant touched my skin, I couldn't help but gasp.
\"hiss……\"
"Now you know what pain is." Shi Xi glanced at Song Guizhou, who was grimacing in pain. "He was insulting me, why did you have to stick your neck out?"
\"have a finger in the pie.\"
"I wasn't meddling in other people's business." Song Guizhou looked up at Shi Xi, his eyes sincere, and said, "You are my wife."
"Nonsense."
Shi Xi raised her hand and gave him a flick on the forehead.
The doctor listened intently, silently remarking to himself as he treated the wound: "These young people these days really know how to have fun."
"Don't bother me anymore." Seeing that the wound was almost treated, Shi Xi said this and turned to leave the infirmary.
Song Guizhou pushed the doctor aside and chased after him.
"Oh, oh, it's not finished bandaging yet..." the doctor said hurriedly.
His answer was a figure as swift as the wind.
"Tsk, this kid, not so eager to heal his injuries, but he's certainly eager to win over his wife..."
After muttering to himself, the doctor took out his phone and excitedly opened the campus secret group chat (student group).
...
On the campus of the sports university.
Shi Xi walked ahead.
Song Guizhou followed behind.
The sun turns left.
Song Guizhou also turned left.
"Why are you still following me?" Shi Xi frowned impatiently.
"You said it yourself, I'm your child."
"..." Shi Xi was taken aback by his words, then retorted angrily with a laugh, "Don't you know what polite talk is?!"
Some things are best left unsaid; why did this child take them so seriously?
"I don't understand." Song Guizhou grabbed Shi Xi's wrist. "I only know how to keep my word."
Shi Xi shook off his hand, "Don't you have a home? Why do you keep bothering me!"
After she finished speaking, Shi Xi was waiting for him to refute her, but unexpectedly, Song Guizhou's eyes were red and he looked like he was about to cry.
"...No, I'm an orphan."
He hugged Shi Xi tightly, pleadingly saying, "Brother Xiao An, I'm being a good boy."
Unlike those despicable relatives who swallowed his parents' inheritance and wanted to kick him out of the house, Xiao An's brother was very warm, and he wanted to cherish this rare warmth.
—At all costs.
"..." Shi Xi was silent for a moment, then patted his shoulder, "I'm sorry."
"I didn't mean what I said just now."
"Want to go out for dinner?" Shi Xi asked. "It's my treat."
Song Guizhou hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, "Okay."
...
Shi Xi took Song Guizhou to the school cafeteria, ordered a meal, and bought a drink.
"Still in high school?" Shi Xi asked.
"No." Song Guizhou shook his head. "They secretly dropped out of school for me."
them?
Isn't this child an orphan?
Perhaps Shi Xi's confusion was too obvious, so Song Guizhou looked at her and explained, "After my parents passed away, my uncle raised me. He said boys don't need to go to school; they should experience society early on..."
His uncle said that, but he used the money left by his parents to try every means to get Song Huachu, that clueless good-for-nothing, into a prestigious school.
Ha, the old man really thinks he doesn't know what he's up to.
fart.
Shi Xi cursed inwardly.
"Do you want to go to school?" Shi Xi asked Song Guizhou.
"I want to." Song Guizhou nodded.
He thought to himself.
There are still six months left. He just needs to wait until he can get his inheritance back, and then he can settle accounts with them.
Shi Xi fell into deep thought. Combining the scene when he first met the child, he could guess that Song Guizhou was not doing well. No wonder he was stuck with the child even though he was just helping him casually.
Shi Xi looked at Song Guizhou.
He pondered it in his heart.
Song Guizhou is still young. Saying that he wants to be my wife is probably just talk. Besides, if I raise him, my father won't be too sad when I die.
This child seems quite obedient.
Or maybe we should... raise it?
The two had different thoughts.
...
After finishing her meal, Xi hailed a taxi.
"Brother Xiao An, what are we going to do?" Song Guizhou asked hesitantly.
"Get in the car." Shi Xi looked at Song Guizhou. "I'll take you to move."
Song Guizhou was stunned.
"What, you're not willing again?" Shi Xi raised an eyebrow.
Just as he was about to say, "If you don't want to, then forget it," he saw Song Guizhou get into the car at a speed he couldn't even see clearly.
"I do!"
"That's more like it." Shi Xi snorted.
"Where are you staying?"
Song Guizhou gave an address.
It's a well-known wealthy neighborhood.
Shi Xi: "..." Could this child be a rich young master?
He looked at Song Guizhou's ill-fitting clothes... He couldn't recognize the brand, and Shi Xi guessed that he probably just lived nearby.
Shi Xi didn't realize it until the car stopped in front of a grand villa.
This kid is definitely a rich kid.
Standing in front of the villa, Song Guizhou turned to Shi Xi with pleading eyes, "Brother Xiao An, will you come with me?"
"Okay." Shi Xi nodded.
Song Guizhou opened the door and was stunned to see the woman sitting on the sofa playing with the dog.
Song Guizhou narrowed his eyes, understanding the look in the eyes of the woman who should be addressed as aunt.
—Holy crap, why is this kid back?!
He hasn't been back for so many days and he's still alive out there? That kid's got a tough life!
The two were staring intently at each other when Shi Xi entered the room.
\"Hello.\"
His gaze fell upon the woman, who was utterly ordinary in both appearance and demeanor, and he politely inquired:
"Are you...the nanny...no...the live-in housekeeper for that wealthy family?"
...
Song Guizhou knew perfectly well that Shi Xi actually knew who this woman was.
Because while they were in the car, he had mentioned some interesting stories about them and the Song family to Shi Xi.
So Brother Xiao An did it on purpose.
Upon reaching this conclusion, Song Guizhou couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Auntie, why are you home alone? Isn't Uncle Song here? I heard he really likes you; he was even willing to divorce his wife to marry you."
The woman's eyes widened, unable to believe her ears, and she let out a sharp, piercing scream: "What did you say?!"
Seeing the woman's almost furious expression, Shi Xi smiled and continued, "I heard you're almost two months pregnant, congratulations!"
Seeing that the woman was about to faint from anger, Song Guizhou stepped forward and reminded her, "Brother Xiao An, this is my aunt."
"Huh? Really?!" Shi Xi put on a panicked expression, covered her mouth, and quickly waved her hands.
"I was just joking, Auntie, please don't take it to heart, and please don't cause trouble for Uncle Song..."
The more guilty and afraid he appeared, the more certain the woman became that it was true.
Considering that Song Chaoyang had been urging her to go out lately, showing extra concern for the new housekeeper, and that the male college student she was keeping had canceled their appointment today, so she came home early but couldn't find either of them...
Hurrah!
Those two scoundrels!!!
Ignoring Song Guizhou and Shi Xi, the woman, in her high heels, was about to rush over to catch them in the act.
"Oh, right," Shi Xi added.
Upon hearing his words, the woman stopped in her tracks, her face turning ashen.
In fact, ever since she received Song Guizhou's parents' inheritance, she had wanted to divorce Song Chaoyang, but she hadn't spoken up because she didn't have a legitimate reason.
Having finally found fault with Song Chaoyang, he was indeed angry, but more than that, he was excited that his wish was about to be fulfilled.
She thought she could still get some dirt on Song Chaoyang from Shi Xi.
Unexpectedly, Shi Xi simply pointed at Song Guizhou, her chin slightly raised, smiled at her puzzled gaze, and asked—
"Do you want this child?"
"If you don't want it, I will."
Even the most naive woman would understand that Shi Xi's words were intentional upon hearing this.
She looked Shi Xi up and down, and seeing that it wasn't a high-end brand, she couldn't help but feel a sense of disdain.
I thought Song Guizhou had climbed some high branch, but I didn't expect him to bring back such a worthless piece of trash.
Since the inheritance is already in their hands, Song Guizhou is just a burden to them.
She wasn't worried that the two young boys could cause any trouble.
So he nodded casually and said, "No, thank you."
Her tone was extremely casual, as if she were discarding not a person but an insignificant piece of trash.
Hearing her say that, Shi Xi frowned and subconsciously looked at Song Guizhou. His face was expressionless, and he even seemed quite happy.
"..." Shi Xi didn't understand what he was so happy about. "Don't just stand there like an idiot, go pack your things."
The woman immediately glanced at the butler beside her and, without any hesitation, ordered in front of the two men, "Keep an eye on them."
The butler rolled his eyes inwardly.
I thought to myself.
Is this even human language? This is their own home, okay?
Since he was about to retire anyway, he casually replied, "Yes."
Upon hearing the answer, the woman took two steps forward, then turned back, still worried, and added, "Don't let them take anything they shouldn't, especially anything valuable..."
The housekeeper genuinely thought this woman was incredibly shameless. Apart from Song Guizhou, there wasn't a single normal person in this villa; they were a bunch of shameless opportunists who had taken over the place.
"Don't worry, Madam, I know what I'm doing."
The woman was immediately relieved upon hearing this, and then hurriedly ran out.
Song Guizhou went straight upstairs, taking only his household registration book and some study materials, without touching anything else.
The butler merely glanced at it and said nothing.
——
The two got into a taxi.
Shi Xi's expression turned serious.
"Brother Xiao An, what's wrong?" Song Guizhou looked at Shi Xi's expression and felt a little uneasy.
He knew that Shi Xi might have initially misunderstood him as some ordinary kid from a poor family, someone who was being bullied by heartless relatives, which was why she was so soft-hearted and helped him.
He worried that Shi Xi would regret her previous choice if she discovered that she wasn't the person the other person imagined.
"I'm thinking."
Shi Xi leaned back in her chair, glanced at Song Guizhou, and decided to give him a heads-up, "You'd better be prepared..."
Song Guizhou's family lived in a truly luxurious villa, while his family could only be described as ordinary middle-class.
The difference is more than just a little bit.
"What?" Song Guizhou asked, puzzled.
Shi Xi looked at him and said, "From phoenix to sparrow."
Song Guizhou chuckled softly, "No."
Shi Xi didn't believe him. She chuckled to herself, thinking he was still too young to understand the magnitude of the difference.
...
On her way home, Shi Xi confessed the matter to Yu's father.
Mr. Yu, on the other end of the phone, took a deep breath—
"...So you've given me a second child?!"
"Yes." Shi Xi looked at Song Guizhou, "Don't worry, he's handsome and well-behaved. You'll definitely like him when you meet him."
Yu's father: "???"
This sounds more like finding a daughter-in-law than a son.
In fact, he had a rough idea of what Shi Xi was planning. In the past two years, his physical weakness had become more and more obvious, and recently he had hardly gone to the swimming pool at all.
Shi Xi was worried that she wouldn't be able to handle the blow when he left and might do something foolish.
After thinking for a moment, Mr. Yu decided to try and comfort his son, saying, "Actually, your health isn't that bad..."
He didn't know what was wrong with the child; he was born weak and couldn't be raised properly no matter what he did.
It's as if they've offended God.
"I know," Shi Xi said immediately.
"I'm perfectly healthy."
"..." Yu's father silently swallowed the words of comfort that were on the tip of his tongue.
"Bring the person back first," Yu's father said after thinking for a moment.
\"Need not.\"
The next second, there was a knock on the door.
"We're at our doorstep," Shi Xi said.
Mr. Yu was stunned for a moment before he realized that Shi Xi had been waiting for him to say those words.
When the door opened, Mr. Yu saw his son and a child standing next to him who was a head shorter than him.
"Hello, Uncle." Song Guizhou greeted him somewhat awkwardly from the doorway.
Mr. Yu glanced at the other person and realized that the other person was wearing his son's clothes... He subconsciously looked at Shi Xi.
Shi Xi smiled at him and asked, "Your second son's name is Song Guizhou. Do you like him?"
