Chapter 121 Exclusive (121) 1st update. …

After living in the apartment for more than a month, the weather was getting colder and colder. It was already the end of the year, and Gu Xunzhi's company had more and more things to do, and he often worked overtime until late at night. Shen Qingyue's pace of life slowed down.

He has been recuperating from the surgery for the past month. The stitches were removed half a month ago. Normally speaking, his health is almost the same as that of an ordinary person. It's just that not much time has passed since the surgery, so his physical condition is still a little weak.

"Little Susu~" The cub sat beside the coffee table with sparkling eyes, holding a watercolor pen in his little hand and an open sketchbook in front of him. He puffed out his little chest as if to take credit: "The nest is rich, Little Fudie!"

Shen Qingyue put down his phone and came over, holding the baby in his arms and carefully examining the colorful butterfly in the book. Then he gave the baby a thumbs up and said, "It's so beautiful! Doudou is an amazing baby!"

The cub was almost shy because of the praise. He tilted his head and rubbed it in Shen Qingyue's arms, and said to Shen Qingyue with a smile, "There's nothing else to build a nest!"

"So amazing?" Shen Qingyue widened his eyes slightly and made a surprised expression: "Do you want to continue painting now, baby?"

Doudou sat up in Xiaosusu's arms, his little head nodding like a chicken pecking at rice: "I want to draw!"

"Okay, I'll cheer you on!" Shen Qingyue encouraged, stretched out his hand and clapped his hands with the cub, then moved his body to the side to leave enough space for the cub.

The plush kid was wearing plush pajamas and was drawing on the coffee table. He looked so serious!

Shen Qingyue picked up his phone and sat beside him to take a few photos of the cubs as background. He first sent them to Gu Xianzhi and then posted a message to his friends.

"I caught a Doudou who was studying hard~【Picture】"

Just after I finished posting, Gu Xizhi sent me a message: "Dou Dou is so good."

Shen Qingyue leaned back, found a comfortable spot next to the sofa, curled up, picked up the blanket and draped it over himself, and replied: "Are you not busy?"

Gu Xizhi: "The company has started preparing for the annual meeting from today, so I basically have nothing to do with it."

"I'm getting ready to go home. What do you want to eat?"

Qingqing: "No, it's cold, just come back early."

"I've been sleeping in a cold bed for days./Angry"

A few days ago, Gu Xianzhi often worked overtime, and he ordered meals from the restaurant to be delivered on time.

Although the two of them slept together, it was as if they were on jet lag. One of them was still asleep before going to bed, but when they woke up, Gu Xianzhi had already gone to the company.

If Shen Qingyue hadn't occasionally stayed up late waiting for him, they would have hardly spoken to each other for several days.

Gu Xizhi: "/The little bear knelt down and admitted his mistake"

"I've finished my work in the past few days. I'll start warming your bed today."

"Okay?"

Qingqing: "/Little Bear, please stand up."

"/ok"

I exited the chat box in a good mood, and there were more than a dozen message reminders in the circle of friends.

The more Shen Qing clicked on it, he saw that most of the posts were likes and comments from his friends and Xu Can. He continued to scroll down and found a like from a strange couple.

After opening this person's homepage and seeing the note "Shen Runfeng", Shen Qingyue suddenly realized something. He clicked on the large avatar and found that his elder brother had changed his WeChat avatar to an ID photo of the two of them with a red background.

Recognizing that it was the woman he had met before, Shen Qingyue opened the chat box with Shen Runfeng and wanted to ask him if he was married.

His fingertips stayed on the screen for a while, then he thought about it and decided to give up, and moved his finger back again.

Doudou and I live happily, and Shen Runfeng seems to have his own life. The best way for them to get along with each other now is not to disturb each other.

"Good job!" Doudou held the picture book like a baby, pouting his little mouth and blowing on the wet spots, then lifted it up to show Xiaosusu: "Four pretty flowers!"

There is only one big rose line on this page, and the cubs have painted many bright and beautiful colors inside the line, such as bright red, bright yellow, indigo, and lavender. These colors have nothing to do with each other, but when they are painted together by the cubs, they have a unique and lovely look.

In the past, they would teach children to draw while at work. Children of this age have wild imaginations and aesthetic tastes, and they can often create surprising works.

Shen Qingyue raised his thumb to praise the cub. After he finished praising, he saw the cub sitting in front of him with his little face tilted up and smiling at him foolishly. He couldn't help but hold the cub's face and rub it.

Doudou's face is like a small dough ball, soft and elastic. His skin becomes a little pink when rubbed. With a pair of black and bright eyes that are watery, he looks like a puppy. He is so adorable and so nice to rub!

The sound of the combination lock opening came from the door. Shen Qingyue nudged the kid and said, "Let's go see who's back."

Upon hearing this, the cub quickly climbed up from the carpet and asked cheerfully, "Where is Si Gu Susu?"

"Yes, Doudou, it's me." Gu Yinzhi's voice came from the door, followed by the sound of taking off a coat and changing shoes.

Shen Qingyue had also gotten up by this time and walked to the entrance to greet him. Gu Danzhi took him into his arms and patted him on the back gently: "I'm back."

The kid next to them tilted his head and looked at their actions curiously, then raised his hands and said softly, "Xiao Susu, give me a hug. Gu Susu, give me a hug too."

"Okay, we can't forget our Doudou." Shen Qingyue squatted down and gave the cub a big hug, and kissed the cub on the little face.

Gu Xianzhi leaned over and picked up Doudou. Annie fished out a beautifully packaged little snowman lollipop from her pocket: "Doudou is a little painter today."

"Did you see it?" The cub immediately stared with round eyes and opened its mouth. It looked at him in surprise in Gu Shenzhi's arms and forgot to take the candy. The three words "little painter" were circling around its little head with joy.

"Well, Xiao Susu took a photo and showed me Dou Dou's painting. It's amazing." Walking into the living room, Gu Yinzhi put the kid on the sofa, patted his little head, and tore open the candy wrapper for him.

The cub had just calmed down not long before he came back, and now being praised by Gu Susu, it was like a happy little fat chick, with short arms and legs, but it jumped off the sofa very nimbly, holding a sweet candy in its mouth, and jumped around the two adults with a silly laugh.

It was evening when Gu Xunzhi came back. It gets dark early in winter, so the restaurant will deliver the food a little earlier.

It was just after five o'clock when they finished their meal. The two of them took the kid downstairs and took a walk. Shen Qingyue originally wanted to go out for a walk, but Gu Xianzhi was afraid that he would not be able to handle it, so he just played around in the community.

The cub was wearing a blue woolen hat with a small white plush ball on the top that swayed from side to side as it walked. It also had a small mask for babies on its face, a scarf and small plush gloves.

Shen Qingyue, also wrapped in a scarf and mask, led Doudou to play in the children's equipment area for a while. He felt his body getting hot and seemed to be sweating, so he stopped and rested aside.

"Are you happy?" It was already completely dark, and the cold wind blew the dead leaves on the trees standing by the road. Gu Dianzhi turned his head away and looked down at the person who was resting his head on his shoulder, his voice gentle.

Shen Qingyue hummed, took out the thermos cup he brought with him, opened a small gap in the cub's mask and fed it water: "It feels like I haven't been out for a long time."

Although she said this, there was no complaint or dissatisfaction in her tone. Her voice was buried under the scarf and mask, so it was not very clear, but her tone was cheerful: "But I have always been very happy."

The street lights stretched the shadows of the two people into long and intertwined ones. There was silence all around. Gu Yinzhi did not speak again. He just lowered his head slightly and rubbed Shen Qingyue's cheek with the corner of his lips.

The next day was the follow-up check-up that we had scheduled early in the morning when the stitches were removed. Last time it was just a simple check-up, but this time not only did I have to fast in advance to have my blood drawn, I also had to take X-rays.

The two went to bed early last night. Before going to bed, Gu Xianzhi called and asked Gu Yuyin, who was on vacation, to come and look after Doudou for the morning. This morning, she came early with a lot of bags.

"Sister, we'll leave first. See you later." Doudou was still sleeping at this time. Shen Qingyue held hands with Gu Yuzhi and said goodbye to Gu Yuyin with a smile.

"Well, don't worry, don't worry, I'm here." Gu Yuyin waved warmly to Shen Qingyue, and then instructed Gu Xianzhi: "Remember to take Xiao Shen to have breakfast after the examination!"

"Okay, I know." Gu Weizhi said.

"Okay, then you go." Gu Yuyin waved at him and walked towards the kitchen with the fruits she bought.

The white morning light was filled with cool mist, and there were few pedestrians on the street. The cold air at the end of the year seeped into the car window that was slightly opened, and was then wrapped up by the warm air from the air conditioner in the car and disappeared.

Shen Qingyue sat in his seat flipping through his medical records. He had a vague understanding of most of the professional terms, and the scrambled handwriting was difficult to decipher. He gave up after a while.

"Are you nervous?" Gu stopped the car and shook the hand of the person next to him.

Shen Qingyue's palms were slightly cool. Even after a month of post-surgery repair, his skin still had a fragile feeling like thin porcelain, and it looked lustrous under the overhead light in the car.

"Don't be nervous. I wasn't nervous last time when the stitches were removed." Shen Qingyue smiled at him.

We also came together to remove the stitches two weeks ago. The scars on my body have healed now. I have been taking medicine and applying ointments on time recently. Apart from the fact that it looks a bit weird, I don't feel anything if I don't touch it.

It was still the familiar department and the familiar process. Many nurses and doctors on duty in the hospital knew them. They greeted them along the way, wrote out a complete list of examinations, and started running up and down the stairs.

It took almost two hours to draw blood, measure blood pressure, do an electrocardiogram, echocardiogram and CT scan.

Gu Xianzhi brought a thermos with him, which was filled with hot milk with sugar. He let Shen Qingyue drink it after the blood was drawn, so Shen Qingyue did not feel any discomfort after the examination.

They had breakfast in the hospital cafeteria. Shen Qingyue had a good appetite and ate half a bun and a bowl of porridge. While he was chewing corn, his cell phone vibrated twice in his pocket.

He opened it and found a message from Gu Yuyin.

Gu Yuyin: "Xiao Shen, Doudou is awake."

"【photo】"

"I was a little confused at first and felt aggrieved for a while, but now I feel better. How did the examination go?"

"[Picture]"

The first photo shows Doudou looking at the camera with a pouty look on his face, his eyes red and his hair messy, like a poor little rabbit with its fur standing on end.

In the second photo, she is already dressed, drinking milk and waving at the camera with a smile. It seems that she is adapting well.

Shen Qingyue put the corn down and started typing: "/Hug, thank you for your hard work, sis."

"I just finished the examination and am having dinner with Gu Xianzhi now. I think we will have to wait a little longer because the examination results will be available in an hour."

Gu Yuyin: “No rush!”

"I just promised Doudou to take him to play with Xiaoxun and Beibei. We'll leave after breakfast. You'll be in the hospital for half the day today, so let Doudou and Xiaoxun stay together tonight. Xiaoxun has been asking for Doudou for a few days, so I'll send him back tomorrow. How about that?"

Shen Qingyue hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Gu Yinzhi: "Sister said she wanted to bring Doudou to live at your house."

"As long as you agree." Gu Xinzhi handed him a tissue to wipe his hands, and seeing his expression, he asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"No, I'm just worried that the child might disturb the uncle and aunt." Shen Qingyue propped up his chin with one hand: "After all, we have to stay there overnight, wouldn't it be bad?"

"Don't worry, my parents love to go out for a walk, and they are in good health. It's more than enough for them to play with him, and he won't be disturbed."

Gu Xianzhi paused after speaking, raised his eyes and looked at Shen Qingyue: "Speaking of this."

Shen Qingyue: "Hmm?"

Gu Xianzhi stopped what he was doing and looked at him seriously: "Chinese New Year is next week, what are your plans?"

“Not yet.”

Life was leisurely and he wasn't very sensitive to holidays. Sometimes he even forgot what day it was. So when Gu Danzhi asked him what he was going to do, Shen Qingyue realized this.

He subconsciously glanced out the window. The hazy morning mist had mostly dissipated, and the clear sunlight penetrated the light mist, giving people a warm illusion.

Gu Xianzhi asked again: "Going home?"

Shen Qingyue hardly ever mentioned family matters to him. If Shen Qingyue didn't take the initiative to talk about it, he wouldn't ask, but it was obvious that their relationship was not very good.

“…”

Shen Qingyue was silent for a while, seemingly thinking.

In his original world, as an orphan, he had no real feeling for the Chinese New Year, a festival for family reunion, and he could not say whether he liked it or disliked it.

As for the original owner's family after transmigrating into the book...

He said calmly: "No."

Who knows what kind of trouble his cheap dad will come up with? What's more, if Shen Runfeng is also at home with his current girlfriend, it would be even more awkward if he brings Doudou back home.

"Would you like to join me then?"

Gu Xianzhi gently held the back of his hand that was resting on the table, and said seriously, "Let's celebrate the New Year together."

Shen Qingyue opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Gu Yanzhi seemed to have predicted his answer and took the initiative to say, "Don't disturb me. My parents hope you can go."

"You and Doudou are also very important family members to me."

"Why do I feel like you planned this in advance?" Shen Qingyue turned her head to look at him, grabbed his hand, and approached him with a smile: "Then do I have no reason to refuse?"

"Yeah." Gu Yinzhi let him hold her like this, the smile in his eyes deepened a little: "No more."

After finishing his meal, he went to get the report and gave it to the doctor. Shen Qingyue's health has recovered well recently. After reading the report, the doctor only gave some precautions, prescribed some scar removal gel, and asked him to take the medicine on time. He can also do some slightly intense exercise on a regular basis, but not too much.

Shen Qingyue nodded and took note of everything. When he left the clinic, he was obviously much more relaxed.

Gu Xianzhi asked: "Go home?"

Shen Qingyue paused for a moment, then turned to look at him. His eyes, which were exposed outside his mask and hat, seemed to be filled with broken stars. "It's still early now. Isn't it almost New Year's Day? How about we go get some New Year's goods together?"

He reached out and pulled the mask down a little. After being covered by the not-so-breathable fabric for a long time, his lips were a moist light pink.

The sun was out, but the temperature wasn't that cold. He simply pulled the mask down to his chin, looked up and took a few deep breaths in the sunlight, his tone brightening as he said, "I definitely can't go to your house for the New Year empty-handed. It just so happens that Doudou was taken away by my sister today, so it's a good time to go buy him now."

"Yeah, that makes sense." Gu Xizhi nodded in agreement, and added, "You are very thoughtful."

Shen Qingyue went up the pole, squinting his eyes and smiling, patting Gu Xizhi's chest lightly: "Little Gu, you still need to learn more about these from me."

"Okay, Mr. Shen."

Gu Yinzhi also cooperated and changed the address. The two walked to the car. Gu Yinzhi opened the door for him, pinched Shen Qingyue's lower back, and said in a serious tone: "Teacher Shen, get in the car first."

Shen Qingyue was so shocked by his sudden pinch that he trembled. He pretended to be angry and wanted to turn around and glare at him, but when he saw Gu Xunzhi's innocent and upright eyes, he couldn't help but laughed first.
