"Go play!" Dibao touched Jingjing's little head.
Jingjing lay on her lifebuoy and swam forward by kicking her legs, like a little frog.
Dibao looked at Jingjing, the only lazy one among the six children, and wondered if he should get her to exercise more. He would ask her third brother if he could develop a fitness plan for Jingjing, and the other children as well.
Although Jingjing has always been in good health, she knows how much careful care it requires.
At school, she often called her teacher to ask for help and to look after her, fearing that she would get sick from eating too much.
"Want to go back?" A low voice sounded beside him.
Di Bao came back to his senses. "Ah? I won't be going back for now. I've already told my third brother. But Si Minghan, even if I live here for a long time, I still have to go back to Xizhou Island occasionally."
Si Minghan held her soft little hand and said, "I'll go with you then."
Di Bao nodded, "Okay." He was about to say there was no need to go through so much trouble, but then he changed his mind and decided that he couldn't answer like that. He always felt that Si Minghan was very sensitive recently. If she said something wrong, he would react strongly.
In fact, Di Bao didn't know where he did wrong.
For example, what she was thinking now was, "Isn't it normal not to bother Si Minghan?" But it must have sounded different to Si Minghan.
It seemed as if she was going to run away!
Si Minghan's phone vibrated. He took it out, glanced at it, and stood up to answer the call. "Go ahead."
Across from him was Zhang Ze, "Mr. Si, I found him going to the side of Si Maoqing's residence."
"Yeah." Si Minghan hung up the phone, turned around, looked at Di Bao, and said, "Zhang Ze."
Si Maoqing was watching Si Tai doing his homework. Seeing him write down the answers without even looking at the questions, he expressed his doubts, "Can you write it right like that?"
"Yes."
"Really?" Si Maoqing quickly pulled out his phone to check the answer, and found it was indeed correct. Si Tai's academic performance was good, just like Si Yuanqi's, so this aspect had never worried him, which was very gratifying.
But before he could wipe away the smile on his face, he looked up and saw someone suddenly coming in. He froze there in an instant, so scared that he sat down with his face turning blue.
Si Tai turned his head and stared at Si Yuanqi blankly.
"What a scene of filial piety." Si Yuanqi walked over and looked at them indifferently.
"You you you..." Si Maoqing was so scared that he couldn't speak.
"What? Do you think you saw a ghost?" Si Yuanqi asked.
"I...I..." Si Maoqing really thought he saw a ghost. How could his dead eldest son suddenly appear? If not a ghost, what could it be? He buried him with his own hands!
But looking at Si Yuanqi sitting on the sofa, he was not sure again!
Si Yuanqi ignored Si Maoqing's expression and looked at Si Tai, who was lying on the table with a pen in hand, and asked, "Do you know me?"
"……know."
"You know him but you don't want to call him?"
"...Brother." Si Tai thought for a moment and called him.
"How about going to the room to do homework? My brother and dad have something to talk to." Si Yuanqi said.
"Okay." Si Tai looked at Si Maoqing, then took his textbook and went to the second floor.
After Si Tai left, Si Maoqing took two steps forward fearfully, as if he had to confirm whether Si Yuanqi was a human or a ghost, "Yuanqi, are you...are you really alive? But..."
"Everything has been burned to ashes. It's normal that you don't recognize your own son." Si Yuanqi said.
The irony in the words made Si Maoqing choke.
"I'm not dead. It's true that I was injured. I've been recuperating outside for the past few years." Si Yuanqi said coldly. "I'm sorry to disappoint you that I'm still alive."
"How...how could it be? I'm so happy that you're alive!" Si Maoqing just hasn't recovered yet! "And Si Tai, he's your biological brother. You didn't know it before, he was born to Liao Xihe and me. This child is very well-behaved and smart, just like you when you were a child!"
There was no embarrassment at all when Si Maoqing mentioned the child he had with Liao Xihe, as if it was the most normal thing.
Si Yuanqi turned to look at him, scrutinizing Si Maoqing from head to toe, and asked without emotion, "Has it been tough these past few years?"
Si Maoqing touched the cheap clothes on his body and said embarrassedly, "I can't help it. I have to raise a child. He needs to go to school. Don't you know how much money it costs for children to go to school nowadays..."
"I can help you raise it."
Si Maoqing was stunned, a little bit unbelieving, "What did you say? Help me raise... Si Tai?"
"You can refuse." Si Yuanqi said coldly.
Si Maoqing couldn't bring himself to refuse, and was even surprised inside.
He worked so hard every day to earn money to support his sons that he didn't even know what it was like to have a good night's sleep. Now his eldest son has come back to life and said he would help him raise his youngest son. This is simply a great blessing!
He couldn't find a reason to refuse!
Si Maoqing thought of something and asked cautiously, "Didn't you give your money to... Tao Bao? That's now Di Bao."
"Don't worry about that."
"Yuanqi, I'm not saying anything to you, but how could you give money to an outsider? And give it all to her! If you had left some for me, I wouldn't be so hard-pressed now. I..." Si Maoqing was frightened by Si Yuanqi's terrifying look and didn't dare to say anything more.
Si Yuanqi coldly withdrew his gaze and asked, "Is my room still there?"
"Yes! Yes! I just need to clean it up. I'll go clean it for you..."
"No need." Si Yuanqi refused and stood up. "Send two servants over."
Si Maoqing stood below and watched his eldest son go upstairs until he was out of sight.
I thought, hiring someone to clean it up costs money, and I don’t have to pay for it, right? I don’t have any money!
It was late at night and the people on the bed were lying in each other's arms.
Si Minghan was sleeping soundly while hugging Dibao, but his eyebrows were furrowed, as if he was dreaming about something.
—I love you! The one I love is you! As long as you're alive, we'll get married! I'll give birth to lots of children for you!
Si Minghan woke up suddenly, his suppressed, heavy breathing was so clear and deep in the night.
His black eyes flashed with the cold gleam of an eagle.
Seeing the person sleeping peacefully in his arms, the dull pain caused by the excessive heaviness in his chest did not improve.
She is his! She can't leave him! She can only be his!
Si Minghan couldn't control his emotions for a moment, and urgently needed to do something to comfort himself. So he grabbed Di Bao's face and kissed the sleeping person!
"Hmm..." Di Bao, who was sleeping soundly, felt breathless and couldn't help but open her sleepy eyes. When she found out what Si Minghan was doing, her mind was confused, "Si Minghan, what are you doing? I want to sleep..."
"Don't resist me, don't resist..." The voice in the darkness was urgent, rough and fierce.
Dibao woke up at noon, and Si Minghan was no longer on the bed. She wanted to scold anyone but couldn't find anyone!
