Chapter 31 Exclusive (31) Two in one. …
Gu Xizhi: "Good afternoon./smile"
Qingqing: "Good afternoon, Uncle Xiaoxun."
Gu Shenzhi seemed to be considering something. "The other party is typing..." was displayed over and over again several times before the message was sent.
Gu Xizhi: "Xiaoxun said that he wanted to chat with his brother, so he wanted to ask you if it is convenient now? / Cute"
Shen Qingyue turned his head and looked at the kid who was eating his meal, and replied: "Doudou is eating now, let him chat with Xiaoxun before the lunch break."
Gu Xizhi: "Okay./Smile"
"Did you have a smooth journey?"
Shen Qingyue finished the last bite of glutinous rice balls and typed: "Smooth~ I have arrived home safely. You can check on the cubs. Everyone has reported that they are safe."
"Line puppy tilts head.jpg"
Gu Weizhi: "/ok"
About a minute later, two consecutive messages from Gu Tanzhi appeared in the group chat of the five Calabash Brothers:
"I'm home."
"[Picture]"
It was a photo of Gu Xiaoxun squatting on the ground and playing with the puppy at home, with his small schoolbag still on his back.
Miki’s father: “Xiao Xun really loves to play.”/Laughing and crying
Shen Qingyue saw this sentence when he clicked in, and he replied: "Children of this age should have fun. /snickering"
Miki's father stared at the screen in silence. He typed a lot of words, looked at the group chat, thought about it, and deleted it. He replaced it with a sentence: "Haha."
Nuonuo's mother came out to smooth things over: "Hey, our child can't be compared with Miki. This child is too good and will definitely have a bright future."
Qingqing: “Indeed. /Like”
Not wanting to continue socializing in the group, Shen Qingyue put down his phone, while Doudou was still drinking soup.
The remaining tomato and black plum pulp at the bottom of the bowl could not be poured out. Looking at the action, if the mouth of the bowl was designed to be a little bigger, the cub's face would be buried in it.
Shen Qingyue took the small rubber bowl from Doudou's phone and used a soft spoon to scrape the fruit pulp from the bottom of the bowl.
Doudou was already prepared. He opened his little mouth obediently and took the bite of food his uncle fed him.
Now finally satisfied, the two short legs sitting in the baby chair jumped up happily.
"Are you full?" Shen Qingyue took a tissue and wiped the light red juice from the corner of Doudou's mouth.
"I'm full!" Doudou patted his belly, turned his head to look at his grandmother, and shouted in a clear voice: "Grandma, I'm full!"
Aunt Zhao smiled like a flower. She came up and cleaned up the dishes while saying to the cub, "Then we can eat again next time, okay?"
"Okay, okay." Doudou nodded his head and clapped his two short hands in support.
After saying hello to Aunt Zhao, Shen Qingyue took the cub upstairs.
He and Doudou both sweated a lot in the morning, so they took a quick shower. Shen Qingyue put the fragrant cub on his small wooden bed.
Back in the familiar place, Doudou seemed a little excited. He swung his little feet around and tilted his head to look at his uncle. His eyes were dark and bright: "Xiao Susu, you are restless."
"Well, little uncle will go to sleep soon." Shen Qingyue shook the cub's quilt and covered Doudou's belly with it.
"No." Doudou shook his head: "I want to be held while sleeping."
As if afraid that Shen Qingyue didn't understand, Doudou made a hugging gesture with both hands: "Xiao Susu, hug Doudou."
Shen Qingyue laughed. He looked at Doudou's small wooden bed. It was a single bed specially made for babies. If an adult were to sit on it, it would not only be crowded but could also be dangerous.
"Then do you want to sleep in your uncle's room?" Shen Qingyue thought for a moment and reached out to pinch Doudou's little arm.
"!!"
The cub immediately widened his eyes in surprise.
In the past, Xiao Susu didn’t allow herself to enter the room, but now she will take Dou Dou to his room to sleep!
Doudou thinks Xiaosusu is the best person in the world!
"Okay." The cub slid down from the bed with his butt sticking up, put on his bear slippers obediently, and held his uncle's hand.
Shen Qingyue took the baby back to his room.
During the few days they were away from home, Aunt Zhao had been cleaning, so the sheets and quilts were all new, and the furniture was also very clean.
Xiao Susu’s bed is much bigger and higher than mine.
Little Doudou climbed onto the edge of the bed, and just like before, he lifted up one of his short legs and leaped up. The cub tried hard for a long time, but he almost got stuck halfway.
Fortunately, Shen Qingyue supported him from behind, and Doudou got onto the bed smoothly.
The little quilt was soft and fluffy. Doudou happily huddled into the quilt, then quickly poked his head out.
"Doudou, do you want to talk to Brother Xiaoxun?" Shen Qingyue, still remembering the message Gu Xianzhi sent him, took out his cell phone.
The cub uttered "eh", then nodded quickly, and said happily in a baby voice: "Brother Xiaoxun, talk, okay."
Shen Qingyue sat on the bed and sent a message to Gu Xianzhi.
Qingqing: “Are you there?”
Gu Xizhi replied immediately: "Yes, what's the matter?"
Qingqing: "Xiaoxun, don't you want to chat with Doudou? If it's convenient now, I'll give Doudou my phone so they can video chat."
Gu Xizhi: "Okay."
After this reply, the video call came in.
Shen Qingyue put his cell phone on the cabinet beside the bed and let Doudou sit next to him to watch.
"Yeah." Doudou stretched his little head curiously, and the face of brother Xiaoxun appeared on the screen.
Gu Xiaoxun's face was almost touching the camera with excitement. He shouted, "Brother, did you see me?"
"See, brother!" Doudou was also aroused and waved his little hand politely.
A low and thoughtful voice came from Xiaoxun: "Stay away from the screen."
Xiao Xun stepped back a little, but his eyes fixed on the screen did not move.
Just as Shen Qingyue was about to sit down next to Doudou, there was a knock on the door.
He thought it was Aunt Zhao who brought the suitcase up, so he went to take it with a smile, opened the door, and saw Shen Chaoxiong standing at the door with his hands behind his back, looking at him seriously.
"You're back?" Noticing the cub's giggles, Shen Chaoxiong took a step back and said, "Come out with me."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the stairs without caring whether Shen Qingyue followed him or not.
After all, they were still in his house, and Shen Qingyue was afraid that refusing would cause some conflict and scare Doudou, so she followed him out and gently closed the door.
Going up to the third floor, Shen Qingyue stroked his chest and breathed softly, then went into the study and sat down. Shen Chaoxiong's tone was quite gentle: "Did Shang Yi add you on WeChat?"
This is the same thing again. Shen Qingyue shook his head with a cold expression: "No."
Shen Chaoxiong raised his voice: "Then you still have the nerve to come back?"
"This is my home, why can't I come back?" Shen Qing felt that this old man was inexplicable.
It was normal for the original owner to have a gloomy and violent personality since he had a father like this.
"It's no use talking to you nicely. You won't listen even if I try to persuade you earnestly. What do you want?" Shen Chaoxiong tapped the desk quickly with his fingers, making annoying sounds.
Seeing that Shen Qingyue ignored him, his anger, which had been suppressed for a few days, became even stronger: "With your sickly constitution, what kind of person do you want to find? Come with me next week to have dinner with Shang Yi's parents and set the date for your wedding."
Shen Qingyue looked at him calmly.
Shen Chaoxiong frowned.
This was not the cold look that would appear in his little son's eyes. According to Shen Qingyue's previous personality, he would have slammed the table and challenged him long ago.
This expression and gaze now is too calm, too indifferent, so indifferent that...
It's like a completely different person.
"Maybe I didn't express it clearly enough before, so I'll say it again."
Shen Qingyue said calmly: "I don't like Shang Yi, and there is no way I will marry him. Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You let your own son fix the mess that others have made in the company. You really are..."
He paused for two seconds, then chuckled with a hint of obvious mockery in his voice: "My dear father."
"You! You..." Shen Chaoxiong raised his arm and pointed at Shen Qingyue, his face trembling with anger: "Have you grown wings? You don't even want basic manners and courtesy, right?"
Shen Qingyue shrugged: "Isn't what I said true? My eldest brother went to a branch abroad to handle business, and the company was in a mess. Why did a funding chain gap appear? Isn't it because of your wise leadership?"
Shen Chaoxiong laughed in anger: "Your elder brother? What qualifications do you have to compare with Runfeng? What did he do for the company back then? What have you done?"
Shen Runfeng has been a child of other people's families since he was a child. He worked hard in school and only had his first girlfriend when he graduated from college. They dated for about a year before the girl took the initiative to break up with him.
He was ready to propose at the time, and the breakup was a huge blow to him. He was depressed for about half a year before he pulled himself together and took over the company.
After that, he never fell in love again. Instead, he followed Shen Chaoxiong's advice and married a girl whom they both disliked, and gave birth to Doudou.
The birth of the child completed their mission, and the couple divorced peacefully when Doudou was two years old.
Just last year, Shen Runfeng accidentally met his first love in a restaurant. The girl is still unmarried.
After the two met and chatted, he found out that Shen Chaoxiong had used the girl's sick mother and unemployed father as threats to force her to break up.
Knowing that there was no possibility for them to be together now, the girl spoke out the matter that had been buried in her heart for a long time. Shen Runfeng listened quietly and sent the girl home. He did not have any extreme reaction until they returned home.
He just suddenly started busy preparing for the establishment of an overseas company and flew abroad on the first day of its establishment.
Then it just seemed to disappear.
"I have already warned you very seriously. If you continue to be stubborn, get out of this family. I will pretend that I never had a son like you!"
Shen Chaoxiong said in a deep voice: "I hope you think it over carefully. Once you leave this house and take off your identity as the second young master of the Shen family, you will be nothing."
Shen Qingyue nodded nonchalantly: "I have already replied to you a long time ago, no problem."
Shen Chaoxiong's old face turned red with anger. He could only glare at his calm little son in front of him, and was speechless for a moment.
"If everything is fine, I'll leave first." Shen Qingyue stood up and left the study under the glare of Shen Chaoxiong behind him.
Only when he returned to the second floor did he breathe a sigh of relief.
He had hardly ever had a quarrel with anyone in his life, so the fight between him and Shen Chaoxiong just now was already very intense for him. Thanks to the original owner, his heart was beating like a drum.
Boom, boom, boom, I can hear my heartbeat in my ears.
Shen Qingyue took a few deep breaths, calmed his expression, opened the door and entered the room.
"Beibei! Beibei!" Doudou was still clapping his hands and cheering at the screen of his mobile phone. He didn't even know when his uncle came in.
Shen Qingyue walked over and sat down next to the cub. Doudou quickly turned his head to look at him, grinning happily: "Little Susu, come here!"
"Yeah, what is Doudou talking about with Brother Xiaoxun?" Shen Qingyue smiled and touched the boy's black hair.
"Si Beibei!" Dou Dou pointed at the screen with his little hand. Shen Qingyue bent down slightly to look.
On the screen, Xiao Xun was holding a khaki puppy in his arms, holding the puppy's paw in his little hand and waving at the screen.
The puppy seemed to be used to it. It sat aside with a gloomy face and fiddled with things casually.
Shen Qingyue curled the corners of his lips. He actually saw a hint of helplessness on the dog's face.
"You're back." Hearing Shen Qingyue's movements, Gu Yinzhi's voice and his face appeared on the screen.
Shen Qingyue's smile was still on his face. Hearing this, he said in a brisk voice, "Yes, you are here too."
"Yeah." Gu Xizhi responded lightly.
"Uncle is waiting for uncle." Xiao Xun said while holding the puppy.
Gu Yuzhi's calm expression changed, but fortunately it was on the screen so it was not obvious. He coughed lightly and said, "Sorry, the child is just talking nonsense."
"It's okay." Shen Qingyue agreed easily.
Gu Xiaoxun wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Gu Xianzhi: "It's time for the kids to take a nap, Doudou, can you chat with your brother tomorrow?"
Doudou was already lying in Shen Qingyue's arms like a little master. The cub nodded when he heard the words, and his soft little baby fat swayed along. He stretched out a little hand and waved: "Okay, goodbye Susu, goodbye Brother Xiaoxun."
"Bye." Shen Qingyue also waved.
"Well, goodbye." Gu Wei's voice was gentle.
"I haven't shown my brother Beibei standing up yet#&*%..." Xiaoxun's voice was ruthlessly cut off the moment the call ended.
"Xiao Susu." The cub's excitement just now subsided, and sleepiness came over him.
Rubbing his eyes with his little hands, Doudou leaned back onto Shen Qingyue's thighs.
The little head rested against Shen Qingyue's belly. With his face tilted up, he could only see his uncle's chin. The cub stretched out two short, soft little hands and said in a baby voice, "Come and hug me."
Doudou is becoming more and more coquettish now, but he is still a cute baby. Shen Qingyue reached out and held the little pink ball in his arms, humming a nursery rhyme for a while, and soon the baby fell into a deep sleep.
After putting the baby on the bed, Shen Qingyue lay down himself. Fighting off his sleepiness, he opened his cell phone and searched for information on renting a house in the city.
The program team didn't pay much, but they would transfer the money after each episode. Plus, the original owner had some savings, so it was more than enough for him to rent a flat for a long term.
Because he wanted to take Doudou with him, Shen Qingyue deliberately picked a house with a cute and warm decoration.
He saw a house he liked, which was quite far from his current home. It was a 150-square-meter fully-furnished flat, facing south and equipped with all the necessary furniture. But Shen Qingyue was mainly attracted by its decoration.
The colors are all warm beige and apricot, and there are many plush carpets and floor lamps with fluttering feathers. The lighting is also warm in tone, which makes people feel relaxed and comfortable just by looking at it.
He had been annoyed with Doudou's empty and dull nursery for a long time.
I added the landlord who posted the message as my WeChat friend. After chatting for a while, we both thought the property was good, so we made an appointment to view the house.
“Ding Dong——”
A message popped up on the mobile phone screen. It was a push notification from a certain blue citizen life software. Shen Qingyue clicked it and couldn't help laughing.
"The body is the capital of the revolution. The XX health management checkup package is on sale for a limited time. For only 1299, you can get the professional equipment of a tertiary hospital and the attentive service of a private hospital! Come and grab it now!"
After clicking on the details and taking a look, he found that the items in this package were numerous, and Shen Qingyue did not quite understand some of the professional terms.
But with the mentality that the more expensive the better, he placed the order without much hesitation.
Looking at the successful payment page, Shen Qingyue felt a little emotional.
It's nice to have money.
He doesn't have to be like him before, who was so paid 2,800 yuan after deducting five insurance premiums that he was reluctant to repair his broken cell phone lens.
When purchasing the physical examination package, you need to leave your mobile phone number. Not long after payment, someone claiming to be a health manager adds you on WeChat.
I also made an appointment with him for a specific time, which was the morning of two days later, which happened to be the same afternoon as the day he was going to view the house.
After everything was arranged, Shen Qingyue threw down his phone with a sense of relief, covered himself with the quilt, closed his eyes, and began to take a comfortable nap.
*
He woke up late in the morning, so he didn't sleep for long during his nap. Shen Qingyue yawned a little, lay in bed for a while, and then got out of bed.
Aunt Zhao happened to be knocking on the door. Shen Qingyue went to open the door and saw Aunt Zhao standing at the door with two suitcases. She said with a smile, "Young Master Shen, I brought up your and Doudou's suitcases. Do you have anything you need to change or wash? I'll take them to wash together."
"No, you don't need to open the suitcase, that's it." Shen Qingyue took the suitcase.
Anyway, he will move out in two days, so if we don't unpack his suitcase, he won't have to pack it again.
"Oh, okay. If you need anything, just call me anytime. I've made some desserts in the kitchen downstairs. Do you want me to bring a plate up for you and Doudou?"
Aunt Zhao said, "It's Doudou's favorite soufflé cake."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Shen Qingyue smiled at Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Zhao quickly came downstairs and swiftly brought up an exquisite plate of food.
The cake was made into the shape of a cloud. A layer of cream was squeezed on the light yellow cake base and sprinkled with blueberries and chopped strawberries.
The sweet milky flavor, the light fruity fragrance, and the hint of lemon are intertwined together. It looks soft and sticky, and it shakes very elastically as you walk.
Putting the food tray on the bedside, Shen Qingyue pushed the two suitcases to the corner of the room.
The cub on the bed was sleeping soundly, and probably because he smelled the dessert, he snorted with his eyes closed, then sniffed hard like a puppy, and soon opened his eyes.
"Ah," the cub's originally unclear eyes immediately became clear when he saw the dessert on the bedside. With a small quilt wrapped around him, he sat up by himself, holding on to the bed.
Because he had just woken up, the kid's voice was still sticky: "Four Sufu."
Shen Qingyue noticed Doudou's movements and was accustomed to this kind of greedy cat behavior.
He turned around, picked up the cub's water bottle and walked over to feed the cub some warm water. He watched Doudou gulp down half a cup of water before he picked up the spoon and fed him a small sip.
"Sweet." Doudou's curved little eyes were filled with happiness.
Shen Qingyue also took a sip and found it tasted really good, with a moist and dense texture, and a light sweetness that was not greasy at all.
The cub ate half a piece of cake with a big whine, and when his tummy was full, he leaned his head against his uncle, with one leg resting on the edge of the bed and the other dangling comfortably on the side of the bed.
Shen Qingyue finished the remaining half of the cake and then put the plate aside.
I opened my phone and checked the time, and found that the health manager had sent me two more messages.
It was to remind him that the appointment was successful, and there were some things he needed to pay attention to the day before and on the day of the physical examination.
He flipped through the emoji pack and sent an animated picture of "ok".
After rubbing the cub's soft black hair and pinching the cub's sleeping pink face, Shen Qingyue lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "Doudou, can your uncle take you to live somewhere else?"
