Knowing that the plot point had been advanced and the Xu family had already noticed Li Yao, Xu Nuo couldn't eat the meal.
It was obvious that Li Yao would be much better off if he returned to the Xu family, but he was still selfish and only thought about himself. Xu Nuo poked the rice in the bowl with chopsticks and fell into self-loathing.
"Nono, this is the world consciousness ~ Don't be sad", the little white dog ran out of its nest at some point and rubbed Xu Nuo's ankle.
"I understand... I will treat Li Yao better in the future!"
666 paused, not knowing how he came to this conclusion.
The boy raised his head and looked at his parents who looked calm, then secretly glanced at Li Yao who was eating politely, and sighed while holding his chubby cheeks.
"What's wrong, baby? Is the food not to your taste?"
Xu Nuo looked up and met his mother's gaze. Everyone else at the table also looked up at him. Xu Nuo shook his head a little embarrassedly, picked up a chopstick full of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, mumbling, "I've paid for it! I've paid for it!"
The atmosphere suddenly became much more cheerful. Xu's mother's eyes were full of love. She picked up another piece of vegetables for him with her chopsticks and said, "Baby, have some vegetables too."
At the end of the meal, both the host and the guests were very happy. Xu Nuo was still worried at first, but after a while he threw all those thoughts out of his mind and ate with relish while holding the bowl.
After dinner, it was time for Li Yao to go home, but Xu's mother was very enthusiastic and asked him to stay overnight. Xu Nuo thought he would not take such polite words seriously, but then he heard Li Yao's faint voice.
"Then I'll trouble you, uncle and aunt."
Li Yao was finally arranged to stay in the guest room next to Xu Nuo's room. Xu Nuo's clothes were too small for him, so he finally found new clothes from Xu's father and gave them to him. When he put them on, they fit him perfectly, as if they were tailor-made.
Xu Nuo was lying on the big bed in a spread-eagle position, with 666 curled up beside him.
"66, the plot has been advanced. Should I go to the plot point?"
"Theoretically, the Xu family's parents became suspicious and took Li Yao's hair for a paternity test. When you discovered the test certificate, you angrily destroyed it."
"Okay... let's get some sleep first." Feeling sleepy, Xu Nuo took the little white dog Tuanba Tuanba into his arms and said, "Sleep!"
…
Li Yao was lying on the bed. He took out his cell phone and told the nanny that he would not be back tonight. Just as he was about to put it down, he heard the phone ring.
The note was that it was a WeChat video call from his mother. Li Yao clicked to answer it, and a gentle and beautiful face appeared on the screen.
"Ayao, how are you today?" The woman's voice was soft and thin, with a hint of Wu dialect.
Li Yao's expression softened a little, "Mom, I'm fine."
Li's mother smiled and said, "Judging from the background, he shouldn't be at home? Why haven't he come home yet so late?"
"Well... I'm staying at my deskmate's house tonight."
"Ah..., good, get along well with others." Li's mother's smile grew even wider. "Remember to tell Mom and Dad if you don't have enough money."
A tall man appeared on the screen again and put his arm around his wife's shoulders. "That's enough. He's not a child. He can take care of himself."
Li Yao nodded at him and called out "Dad" as usual.
Father Li was obviously very dissatisfied with his perfunctory attitude and continued to complain, "Hey kid, you have a sullen face all day long. I don't know who you look like. You will definitely never have a wife in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, his wife hit him, "You always talk nonsense." The man smiled servilely.
Having just met Xu's parents today, Li Yao unconsciously pondered for a while about his father's joke. His mother has a quiet and gentle personality, a typical beautiful girl from the south of the Yangtze River. His father and mother are two extremes. He is impatient and has an erratic mind. He is a man from the northwest who is in the mining business.
Li Yao's personality is unlike anyone else, and neither is his appearance. His father's strong features nor his mother's gentle appearance obviously suit him. It would be better to say that he looks more like the child of Xu's parents, while Xu Nuo looks more like he was carved from the same mold as his mother.
This idea was like a seed. Once it was planted in his heart, it began to take root and grow rapidly. Li Yao shook his head to clear his mind and heard his mother calling him.
"Ayao, are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I just got distracted."
The father muttered, "What a rude boy!", and the mother glared at him and turned back to her phone.
"Mom's recital is still a week away... Mom and Dad will be home to see you after it's over."
"Um."
"Go to bed early, Ayao. Good night."
"good evening."
The young man with a delicate and sharp face on the screen waved his hand, and the phone rang with a tone indicating the call was over.
…
Xu Nuo, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by 666, "Nuo Nuo, don't sleep anymore! It's time to go to school!"
The boy grunted in protest, then blearily ran off to get dressed and wash up. When he came downstairs, Li Yao and Xu's parents were already sitting at the dining table waiting for him. They looked so happy, more like a real family of three, which they certainly were.
The sleepiness just now disappeared, and now only sadness remained. Xu Nuo stood on the stairs, not knowing whether to go over or walk down.
Father Xu looked up and saw him. "Baby, are you coming downstairs to eat? Don't get distracted on the stairs."
Xu Nuo woke up as if from a dream, stumbled over and sat down.
His mother gently picked up a lot of his favorite foods for him, but it was obvious that these should belong to Li Yao. Xu Nuo was too stubborn and ate very slowly and carefully.
Perhaps it won't be long before this kind of warmth no longer belongs to him.
The two of them got in the car together and headed for school. Mr. and Mrs. Xu, who were standing at the door, fell into a rare silence as they watched the car go away.
Finally, it was Father Xu who broke the silence first, "That child...has the same birthday as Nuonuo."
The beautiful woman's fingertips trembled slightly. "No matter what, Nuonuo is my child."
"Of course, Nono always will be."
The power of the plot is advancing in an orderly manner. On the pillow in the guest room, although Li Yao carefully folded and tidied the quilt, a strand of his hair still appeared on the pillow.
