Chapter 124 Exclusive (124) New Year's Eve. ……

On the morning of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year, Shen Qingyue received a WeChat message from Shen Runfeng.

It was a very short sentence, wishing him and Doudou a happy new year, followed by a question asking if they would like to come back for a visit during the new year.

Shen Qingyue had just woken up when he received the message. In his arms was a furry little baby sleeping on its stomach, and Gu Xunzhi was clinging to his back, so it was difficult for him to even move.

He managed to turn over slightly, picked up his phone and typed: "Happy New Year, no reply."

Shen Runfeng seemed to be waiting for him on his phone, and replied immediately: "Then leave Dad alone at home for the New Year."

The tone on the other side was not good, Shen Qingyue directly replied: "?"

Shen Runfeng: "I just got married, and I have a rare vacation during the Chinese New Year, so I have to go abroad for a while. You don't have much to do in China, so take Doudou back with you when you have time."

"After all, Doudou is Dad's grandson. No matter how much you quarrel with Dad, you can't just take the child away and not go back to get angry with him."

Qingqing: “?”

"Aren't you also my biological son?"

The person on the other side was typing when he suddenly stopped.

The air conditioner in the room was turned on a little hot. I was holding a little baby who was as warm as a heater in front of my chest, and Gu Xunzhi, who was warmer than me, was clinging closely to my back.

After Shen Qingyue finished replying the message, he felt a tightness in his chest, so he simply pulled the quilt halfway down.

"When did you wake up?"

Gu Tanzhi's slightly hoarse voice came from behind him. Shen Qingyue set Shen Runfeng's message to do not disturb, threw the phone back, and his originally impatient expression softened again. He leaned into the arms of the person behind him: "Just woke up."

The arm around Shen Qingyue's waist familiarly groped for the scar on the skin on the side of his waist, gently rubbed and slowly stroked it, and then continued upwards. Just when his two fingers pinched his mouth, Shen Qingyue pinched his wrist and threw it out of his pajamas.

"Doudou came over to sleep last night." Shen Qingyue reminded in a low voice with red ears.

Gu Xizhi was silent for a moment, then calmly held the person in his arms, "Sorry, I forgot."

Shen Qingyue smiled secretly behind his back and continued to hold the little soft baby in his arms to catch up on sleep.

Last night, the two of them had just laid down and started making love, but they were still not satisfied and didn't feel tired. Before they could do anything, there was a gentle knock on the bedroom door.

Shen Qingyue quickly put on his clothes, wiped his mouth and got out of bed. As soon as the door cracked, Doudou's curious little face appeared. There was a soft blanket on the cub's head, and he looked like he was wearing a small cape. He pointed at the door handle and asked in confusion: "Xiao Susu, why did Senmo lock the door?"

"What's wrong with Doudou?" Shen Qingyue squatted down and held the cub in his arms, "Are you awake?"

"No." The cub was wearing thin clothes, but he was smart enough to cover himself with a blanket. Hearing that, he didn't ask why the door was locked. He leaned into Shen Qingyue's arms and said coquettishly, "I miss Xiao Susu~"

"Okay, then is Doudou going to sleep with uncle today?" Shen Qingyue pinched and rubbed the soft and white fat of the baby.

"Hmm!" Doudou's bright eyes dilated when Xiaosusu said what she meant. He happily ran into the bedroom wearing his "little cape" and slept with the two Susus.

It was already noon when Hui Longjue woke up again. After lunch, Shen Qingyue dragged out a travel bag, which he brought back from the house he had rented two days ago with Gu Xianzhi.

During the show, this place is responsible for storing thermoses, milk powder, small snacks, personal belongings and other small items. They are going back to visit their parents' home tomorrow to celebrate the New Year and will stay overnight before returning, so this is the perfect place to store their things.

"Doudou and I have packed our clothes, you pack yours." Shen Qingyue handed over the bag that was mostly stuffed.

Gu Xizhi reached out and took it: "Besides my clothes, is there anything else you need to pack?"

"No need, just pack it up and zip it up." Shen Qingyue was a little tired, so he sat down to rest for a while and went to the living room to take Doudou to play with the car.

The little car is the "Lamborghini" among children. It has a handsome shape, a silver-gray body, and is a little smaller than ordinary bumper cars. It was brought back for Doudou by Gu Xianzhi on the day when the company was on holiday. The little cub rides it and patrols the house twice every day.

"Xiao Susu, beep!" The Lamborghini just drove to the door of the master bedroom. The cub grinned, imitating the sound of the horn, and slowly parked the car next to Shen Qingyue.

Shen Qingyue rubbed the kid's head and said in a good mood, "Master Doudou, are you going to drive me?"

The cub raised his hands enthusiastically and shouted: "I want it! I am the fourth division!"

Shen Qingyue smiled and pulled up the safety handle from the back, and took a ride around the house with the kid who was driving.

Feeling a little tired after pushing the pet, Shen Qingyue let the cub continue playing in the living room while he sat on the sofa to rest.

The cell phone vibrated in my pajama pocket. I took it out and saw that it was a message from Xu Can.

After the show, he, the director and other parents would occasionally interact online or on WeChat Moments, but they almost never had serious chats, and at most they would send each other greetings on holidays.

The dialog box opened and it was a Word document with the title "Baby is Coming Season 2 Invitational Families and Business Plan."

Shen Qingyue was confused for a moment, and then sent a puzzled emoticon.

He opened the file and took a quick look. In addition to him and Dou Dou, the other families clearly marked as invited included Gu Xianzhi and Xiao Xun. The rest were information of unfamiliar families, and most of the children were three or four years old.

Xu Can: "/grin, Teacher Xiao Shen, we are so familiar with each other that I won't beat around the bush. Taili has been preparing for the second season of Baby is Coming before the New Year. The format is still the previous live broadcast format. This time we have the foundation of the first season, the program content must be more interesting, and the remuneration is also twice that of the first season. Do you want to consider it?"

Previously, there were many rumors on Weibo that this children's variety show was going to film a second season, and there were also many comments asking whether Shen Qingyue would be attending. Shen Qingyue didn't take it seriously at all. He didn't expect the news to be true and come so quickly.

Shen Qingyue thought for a while and he didn't intend to agree. First, because he didn't like staying under the camera for a long time. Second, because Doudou was already kindergarten age, he didn't want such a young child to delay his studies because of participating in a reality show.

Besides, Doudou doesn’t really like facing a black camera every day. The cub just simply likes playing with other children.

Seeing that Shen Qingyue didn't reply for a long time, Xu Can sent another message: "Our program team has also invited many new families this time. Only yours and Gu Xianzhi's are special returning guests. The initial plan of the program is to let the children who have participated before bring the first-time participants, so there will be a lot of shots and exposure. By then, the commercial value of Doudou will grow rapidly."

"There is also a lot of demand online for you to be in the second season! Everyone misses you guys, would you consider it? / Looking forward to it"

Shen Qingyue sat up from the sofa and typed thoughtfully: "No, Director, Doudou is already old enough to go to kindergarten and has already signed up for this spring. As the child grows up, it will not be convenient for him to participate in the show. Thank you for the invitation!"

After sending this message, he worried that his tone was too formulaic, so he sent a few soybean emojis.

Xu Can's reply was also quick: "It's okay, I understand. You can think about it again. If you change your mind, you can always contact me at any time."

Shen Qingyue: “/ok.”

The sofa beside him sank a bit, and then he was embraced by a familiar embrace. Shen Qingyue looked up in surprise, and happened to meet Gu Danzhi's eyes, "When did you come out?"

"Just now." Gu Xizhi poked his face and asked, "Who are you talking to so seriously?"

Shen Qingyue found the faint complaint in his voice when he asked the question somewhat funny. He squeezed Gu Xianzhi's hand and answered truthfully: "Xu Can, he is the director who participated in the show before."

"Oh, I remember." Gu Xizhi looked at him and asked, "Are you invited to participate in the second season?"

Shen Qingyue nodded, then realized something and turned his head: "He also looked for you?"

Gu Xizhi: "Yes, I looked for it yesterday."

Shen Qingyue: "What do you say?"

Gu Xizhi: "No."

"Oh." Shen Qingyue understood. He frowned in a serious manner and said, "Then why don't you report it to me?"

Gu Xizhi: "It was sent in the evening."

Then he added: "You and Doudou were already asleep at the time, and I was in the bathroom."

Shen Qingyue: “?”

“…”

*

It snowed heavily at night.

The snow began to fall in the second half of the night. At that time, Shen Qingyue was pressed against the blanket in front of the French window, and his pajamas were wrinkled around his apart knees.

The gentle hum of the warm air indoors was masked by the movement. The few green plants on the terrace swaying in the cold night seemed to be swinging as they moved forward. Their hot palms pressed against the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the transparent glass was filled with large patches of white mist, which then became disordered.

The corners of Shen Qingyue's eyes were red, and his body seemed to be nailed to the window through the blanket, unable to move at all. Gu Dunzhi lifted one of his ankles from behind, leaving a few shallow bite marks on his calf. In the distance, the city lights welcoming the New Year came on one after another, and in his eyes they turned into a misty sea of ​​stars.

The result of doing this is that it is quite difficult to get up the next morning.

Shen Qingyue hadn't exercised for a long time. When he woke up in the morning, his body felt like it was falling apart and he was in pain all over, especially the inner thigh, which felt as uncomfortable as if he had stretched a muscle.

It was thanks to Gu Xianzhi's good attitude in admitting his mistakes and massaging him from head to toe for over an hour on the bed that he finally woke up.

Shen Qingyue yawned while changing clothes. After washing up with Gu Xianzhi, he looked at the time and it was only seven o'clock in the morning.

It takes about half an hour to get from this house to Gu Xunzhi's parents' house. There is a high risk of traffic jams on New Year's Eve, so get up early and try to arrive before nine o'clock.

"Are you still sleepy?" After washing up, they walked out of the bathroom. Gu Shen raised his hand and pinched his shoulders twice.

Shen Qingyue moved his limbs. After the one-hour massage in the morning, his discomfort had mostly disappeared, except for a little pain in the base of his legs. "I'm not sleepy. I'll go wake Doudou up first. You check the luggage."

After getting the answer, he opened the door and went to the second bedroom. Before going to bed last night, Gu Xianzhi played with Doudou for a long time, jumping and hopping. He took the cub to bathe and coax him to sleep only when he was tired. The cub slept quickly and soundly that night.

He picked up his clothes and gently opened the door. There was a small night light on the bedside table in the room. It was the little rabbit light that he and Doudou had picked out before.

The clothes that the cub would wear for the Chinese New Year were picked out by Doudou himself early in the morning. They were similar in style to the light green Tang suit that he wore in the last episode of the baby variety show, but this one was in a festive bright red.

The middle button is ingeniously designed with a flower pattern, with a goose yellow core and gold-lined edges. The cuffs and shoulders are surrounded by white fluff, extending all the way to the neckline.

The sleeves are white, and there are two large tiger-head pockets on the left and right sides of the clothes. They have a very classic tiger head shape, and the surrounding area is also plush.

The pants were much simpler, black velvet trousers with a pair of tiger-head shoes. Shen Qingyue also bought a tiger-head hat. The red belts hanging on both sides were tied with small white velvet balls, which looked quite heavy.

"Doudou, get up and celebrate the New Year!" Shen Qingyue shook the cub's shoulders and said softly, "We will wear new clothes today."

"!!!"

The cub, who had not yet fully woken up, had not yet returned to the cage. His eyes were half open, and his little mouth had already begun to mutter, "Today, new clothes."

Shen Qingyue leaned over and held the baby in his arms, patting him gently, and said with a smile: "Is Doudou baby awake?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm awake." Doudou nodded his head randomly like a chicken pecking at rice, his little hands tightly grasping Shen Qingyue's collar, and began to let Xiaosusu change his clothes in a half-asleep state.

The red New Year's greetings jacket is particularly suitable for the cub. It is festive and not out of place. When paired with the tiger-head hat that Shen Qingyue bought, it is simply an adorable creature!

Shen Qingyue's eyes sparkled as he looked at the little cub.

As expected of his adopted child! So cute!!!

Doudou also thought he was particularly pretty because he was red. The little cub grinned and shook his head from side to side. The fur balls on both sides of his tiger hat fell from the back of his head to his chest with a plop, and occasionally hit the white and tender flesh on his cheeks, which was itchy and really fun.

"Baby, you are the cutest baby." Shen Qingyue held the cub and kissed the soft little fat twice. Doudou also imitated Xiaosusu's actions, happily holding Shen Qingyue's neck and biting his face twice.

Gu ordered breakfast and packed his luggage, and was also amazed by Doudou's limited edition skin care products. He held the baby and praised him a few times. Doudou was very proud! He pursed his little mouth and stood straight in Gu Susu's arms!
