Chapter 51 Exclusive (51) Three in One. …
This message came too suddenly. Shen Qingyue had a lot of questions to ask the screen, but there were too many and he didn't know what to say first.
When did my elder brother return to the country? How did he know where Doudou and I are now? Is he here to persuade me to go home?
He suddenly remembered the time when Shen Runfeng sent him a message asking if he had moved away. At that time...
"Xiao Susu!" Strawberry Bear Doudou had already grabbed the edge of the dining table with his two little hands, and was trying hard to raise his little head upwards. However, even with such efforts, he could only reveal a pair of bright black eyes.
"Well, what's the matter?" Shen Qingyue came back to his senses and asked in a gentle voice.
Doudou let go of the two hands that were clinging to the table, and ran to Shen Qingyue in small steps: "Let's have dinner."
"I'm hungry." The cub said and patted his belly.
Shen Qingyue looked at the packed sweet and sour spareribs and fish soup on the dining table. He lowered his eyes and looked at the cub: "Doudou, do you miss your daddy?"
Doudou was obviously confused for a moment, with confusion written all over his face, but he still thought about it seriously, then shook his head: "I don't want to!"
"Why?" Shen Qingyue touched the boy's head.
"I don't know." Doudou answered honestly, shaking his head and throwing himself into Shen Qingyue's arms, saying coquettishly: "I like Xiaosusu."
"But your father missed you, he said..."
“Ding Dong——”
The doorbell interrupted Shen Qingyue's words. He raised his head slightly and saw the cub running to open the door quickly.
Two little arms skillfully grasped the door handle, and they squatted down and with a "whoosh", the door opened.
"Susu, hello." The cub smiled and waved to greet the "uncle" who was carrying a lot of bags at the door, then ran back to his uncle happily: "Little Susu, Youyin is here!"
"Xiaoqing." Shen Runfeng had already walked into the entrance. The man had a straight posture and a handsome face. He looked a bit like himself, but much more stable.
At this moment, she was holding a few paper bags in each hand, standing at the entrance waiting for him to come over.
"Big brother." Shen Qingyue stood up from the chair calmly, took Doudou's hand and walked over together, turning his head to face the cub and said, "Doudou, this is your father, not your uncle."
Children of this age are just beginning to remember things, and memories before the age of three will be vague to them unless they are repeated over and over again.
Shen Runfeng hadn't seen Dou Dou for a long time after he went abroad, and he never contacted the cub during this period. So it was normal that the cub didn't recognize him when he suddenly saw him.
"Dad?" The cub hesitated unconsciously, raised his little face and carefully observed the "uncle" at the door for a moment, and there seemed to be a vague memory in his mind: "Oh!"
"Brother, when did you come back?"
Shen Qingyue reached out to take the bag from his hand and gave him a pair of disposable slippers: "Why so sudden?"
"I arrived the night before yesterday." Shen Runfeng took the shoes without changing them. He lowered his eyes to look at the little cub who was looking up at him with his little face unscrupulously.
The baby immediately looked as if he had done something wrong. He quickly avoided his gaze and hugged his uncle's hand tightly with his little arms.
Shen Runfeng raised his eyes: "I have some personal matters to take care of."
"The bag is filled with things I bought for Doudou, as well as a gift for you. Let's go eat first. You must be tired after sitting on a plane and in a car all day."
Shen Qingyue agreed, "Okay." Then he shook the cub's arm and said, "Doudou, shall we go have dinner with your dad?"
"No." The cub shook his little head, and the tuft of adobe hair on top of his head swayed with his movements, rejecting it decisively.
"Why?" Shen Qingyue asked.
Doudou turned sideways, raised his arm and pointed at the food on the living room table: "I'm looking forward to this meal."
Shen Runfeng's eyes moved and he looked at Shen Qingyue again.
"It's just downstairs from us. You can eat it whenever you want. We're going to have a big dinner today. Doesn't Doudou like big dinners?" Shen Qingyue continued to coax him patiently.
"Okay, then it's a big meal!" The cub was not in a good mood, but nodded in agreement as if to make his uncle happy.
In the cub's impression, his father always talks to him through a small white robot. He is not so tall and his expression does not look cold. He looks like the bad guy in the movie "Dian Si", which is quite scary.
I don't like to translate at all!
After much persuasion, they finally went out together.
Shen Qingyue was carrying a small bag that he usually carried when he went out, holding the cub in one hand, and following Shen Runfeng.
He is not the protagonist in the book, and Doudou is not an important character, so he does not have a very thorough understanding of the Shen family's situation, and can only remember some of it from the author's few words.
He had no idea how his original self got along with his eldest brother, and Shen Runfeng didn't seem to have much to say. The little cub, who usually jumped and chirped whenever he went out, now became quiet and just walked obediently with his uncle on the road in the garage.
"Xiaoqing." It was Shen Runfeng who took the lead in breaking the slightly awkward situation.
Shen Qingyue turned around and said, "Yes."
Shen Runfeng asked: "How is your health recently? Are you still adapting to the show?"
"I went to see a doctor and I feel better now." Shen Qingyue answered truthfully, "The show is quite interesting, and the director team is very nice. Doudou and I are adapting well to it."
Shen Runfeng nodded: "That's good."
"I will go back to China again after this trip, and I will come back after the overseas branch is completely stable."
"Thank you for your hard work recently, carrying Doudou every day."
Shen Qingyue thought to herself that there seemed to be something wrong with this sentence, but she still said, "It's not hard. Doudou is very well behaved. Did you watch the show? The audience likes him very much."
Shen Runfeng nodded: "I watch it occasionally."
The restaurant Shen Runfeng booked was not far from where they lived. It was a Chinese restaurant with elegant and clean decoration. The light fragrance inside made people feel very comfortable.
As you enter the lobby, there is a small bridge and flowing water in front of you.
"Xiao Susu, let's brew it." Doudou gently pulled Shen Qingyue's fingers and whispered to him.
"Yes, it's so beautiful here." Shen Qingyue also answered at the right time.
The waiter led them into the private room. The interior decoration was in the same style as the lobby outside, with dark wooden tables and chairs and carved wooden windows, which looked very exquisite.
"Order what you like first." Gu Xianzhi signaled the waiter to pass the menu to Shen Qingyue.
Shen Qingyue took it and was a little shocked by the price of the dishes, but he looked calm on the surface. Although he was much richer than before, his consumption concept could not be changed in a short time.
After ordering the dishes, the waiter considerately brought a baby chair to Doudou. Shen Qingyue skillfully poured hot water to heat the dishes and chopsticks for the baby, and then supported the baby's waist to help him climb onto the chair.
“Great.” Doudou sat down in the baby chair and tried hard to clap his hands.
Shen Qingyue smiled and said, "Doudou is awesome!"
"Dou Dou, don't you remember me?" As if wanting to express his affection for the cub, Shen Runfeng took the initiative to speak to him.
Doudou looked at him, then at his uncle, and nodded: "Remember it."
The cub called out softly, "Hello, Daddy."
The dishes here are served very quickly, including crab meat tofu, fried shrimp with corn and peas, steamed egg with meat cake, carrot fried rice, and matsutake pork rib soup.
Shen Qingyue served the boy some corn shrimps and put two pieces of pork ribs in his bowl.
Shen Runfeng asked: "Your show will end in September?"
Shen Qingyue: “Yes.”
Shen Runfeng understood: "Doudou will be going to kindergarten in September."
"Here's my plan. When I'm done with my work, I'll take care of Doudou when I come back in September. You've worked hard these past few months. You can relax for a while after the show is over. I know about the fight between you and Shen Chaoxiong."
He paused here because Shen Qingyue frowned obviously.
Shen Runfeng asked him: "Do you have any questions?"
"No." Shen Qingyue shook his head.
After all, Doudou is his son and is always with him. If he wants to take him back, he has no say.
Doudou had a big mouthful of corn kernels in his mouth, and his little cheeks were stuffed bulging. He looked like a bewildered little hamster. Listening to the conversation between the two adults, there was some confusion and doubt in the cub's eyes.
Shen Runfeng continued, "I know about the quarrel between you and Shen Chaoxiong. I will help you resolve the issue with Shang Yi. I am also investigating the gap in the company's funding chain."
"Take good care of yourself. If you need anything, just tell me."
"Thank you, brother." Shen Qingyue raised the corners of his lips and smiled.
Shen Runfeng poured a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Doudou. When he looked at Shen Qingyue, there was a hint of smile in his eyes: "Is it because of taking care of the children? Your temper and personality are much better than before."
"Maybe it's because Doudou is more obedient. Living with him every day will make me become gentler unconsciously." Shen Qingyue made up an excuse casually.
Doudou ate a big bowl of rice and drank the soup his father served. He wiped his mouth carefully with a tissue and said happily, "Xiao Susu, I'm full now."
"Okay, baby." Shen Qingyue touched the baby's little head.
Shen Runfeng also reached out his hand to touch Doudou's head, but he retracted his hand before he could do so.
The meal didn't take long. After the meal, Shen Runfeng drove them home.
"The house here is pretty good. If you like it, just buy it." Shen Runfeng parked the car downstairs.
"Got it." Shen Qingyue agreed and asked politely, "Would you like to go up and sit down?"
Shen Runfeng said without hesitation: "Okay."
When going upstairs, the kid was a little lazy after eating and drinking enough. While waiting for the elevator, he squinted his eyes slightly, tilted his head, and leaned on his uncle's thigh.
"Come here, let uncle hug you." Shen Qingyue looked at the lazy little cub's expression and movements with a smile and leaned over to hug him. Doudou also naturally opened his hands and reached out.
Seeing this, Shen Runfeng said, "Let me do it. You are not in good health, don't overwork yourself."
As he spoke, he was about to reach out to take Baodou. The cub was inexplicably frightened, but did not resist much and was obediently taken into his father's arms.
Doudou weighed only 20 kilograms, and he was as soft as a little dumpling in his arms. Shen Runfeng was a little stunned, as he had long forgotten what it felt like to hold his son in his arms.
Because of the gap between him and his father, he always felt that he couldn't treat Doudou properly. Although he could meet any needs of the cub in terms of material and environment, as a father.
Every time he saw Doudou, he would subconsciously recall the circumstances under which he got married and had children.
So he didn't want to see it, let alone recall it, recalling the experience that made him feel incompetent and a failure.
The reason why I came back this time was because something happened in my first love's family. His younger brother was sick and they were really desperate, so they asked him for help.
On the first day after returning, he found a suitable hospital for the underage boy to be admitted, and paid enough money for him to be discharged from the hospital after completing his treatment.
They have been in contact for the past two days.
Just then Shen Qingyue and Dou Dou came back, and he felt that he had some courage to face Dou Dou.
At least it's not too late to make up for it now.
"Dad, let's go." When they were almost at the door of the house, Doudou gently patted Shen Runfeng's shoulder with his little hand. The cub's expression was very serious: "I don't want to be hugged."
Shen Runfeng also quickly nodded and agreed: "Okay."
After entering the house, the cub was obviously much more relaxed. He ran to the front and sat on the sofa in the living room. He pointed at the TV happily and said in a baby voice: "Siska! Siska!"
Shen Qingyue glanced at the time. It was 7:30 in the evening. The animation channel was playing Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. He walked to the coffee table and turned on the TV: "Let's watch it!"
"Yeah!" The cub cheered, raising his hands.
Shen Qingyue turned to Shen Runfeng again: "Brother, take Doudou with you. I'll go take my medicine first."
Shen Runfeng agreed readily: "No problem."
Back in the bedroom, Shen Qingyue took out the medicine bottle, poured a cup of warm water and drank it, then sat on the bed and did not go out immediately.
He always felt that it was a little strange. In the original book, the eldest brother went abroad and came back very few times. The few times he came back were when Doudou was in elementary school or even after he became an adult, and the father and son were like strangers.
The original article also mentioned that Doudou's grandfather had been attending parent-teacher meetings since kindergarten, and this continued until he entered elementary school, junior high school, and high school. Shen Chaoxiong's health became worse and worse, so he asked the nanny and others to take his place.
Therefore, Doudou’s entire childhood and adolescence campus life can be said to be very gloomy.
Children of this age often unknowingly take their malice to its maximum. After learning that Doudou had no parents attending the parents' meeting, they collectively isolated him, bullied him, and scolded him for being an unwanted child.
At the subsequent parents' meeting, he asked the nanny not to come.
This also laid a solid foundation for Doudou to grow into a gloomy and cruel villain in the original work.
There was one passage that left a particularly deep impression on him.
When he was in high school, the boy had an argument with a classmate and got into a fight. Shen Runfeng happened to be coming back from abroad at that time. Seeing the bruises all over the boy's frail body, he scolded him.
I never thought that the boy who was smiling at me happily when he first arrived would explode like gunpowder at the touch of a button.
The two quarreled for a few sentences, and one even said bluntly that he was not worthy of being a father, so what right did he have to take care of him?
Shen Runfeng was so angry that he slapped the corner of his mouth, which was already broken, causing it to bleed again.
The boy was also very angry, but he just pushed him hard and left the cafe where he met him, dragging his body covered with new and old scars.
From then on, the father and son became complete strangers.
When reading the book at that time, Shen Qingyue could only sigh that there must be some pitiful side to a hateful person, but that could not wash away the fact that he was a big villain.
But if the timeline reaches this moment, what if these children were bullied and isolated for their entire childhood and adolescence.
After being bullied, Doudou would go to see his father whom he hadn't seen for a long time with joy or perhaps grievance, but would be scolded instead.
He couldn't stop feeling sad and upset.
The cell phone vibrated in his pocket. Shen Qingyue patted his chest, trying to suppress the aching heartache, and took out his cell phone to take a look.
Gu Weizhi: "[Picture]"
"The injection is done./smile"
The photo shows the precautions for tetanus vaccination and the dates for the next few injections.
Qingqing: “Not bad. /Like”
"Is the hospital still open? Can I get an injection at this time?"
Gu Xizhi: "I went to a familiar private hospital."
Qingqing: “Oh~”
"How's your hand?"
Gu Weizhi: "[Picture]"
"It was disinfected and bandaged again."
"I took a look at Xiaoxun's vaccination record and took him to get vaccinated. He was angry with me."
Qingqing: "Hahahaha, tell him that Doudou thinks he's very brave, then he might not be angry anymore."
Gu Xianzhi did not reply this time but sent a voice message. When he opened it, it was Xiaoxun's voice:
"Brother, do you think it's amazing? I have to get injections every year."
Shen Qingyue's mood brightened and he sent several laughing emojis in succession.
Gu Xizhi: "What are you and Doudou doing?"
Qingqing: "Doudou is watching TV."
Gu Xianzhi: "Okay, it's getting dark, I'll take Xiaoxun home first, we can talk in the evening. /Handshake"
Qingqing: “The little pig nodded.jpg”
He put away his phone and went out. The ending song of the cartoon had already started playing on TV. Shen Runfeng was sitting on the sofa with the baby in his arms, who was sleeping on his chest.
Seeing Shen Qingyue coming out, Shen Runfeng made a gesture to him to stop talking.
Shen Qingyue nodded in understanding, and thought the scene was quite novel, so he took out his cell phone and took a picture of it.
"Let Doudou sleep for a while. I have something to do tonight, so I'll leave first." Shen Runfeng carefully picked up the cub and asked in a low voice, "Where is the bedroom?"
Shen Qingyue pointed him in the direction and followed Shen Runfeng.
When Shen Runfeng saw the patchwork quilt neatly spread on the bed, his eyes softened. He touched the fabric of the quilt and said, "I didn't expect it's still in use now."
"Well, this quilt is light and warm. We can use it all year round with the air conditioner on. Doudou likes it very much." Shen Qingyue explained.
Shen Runfeng looked up at Shen Qingyue and patted his shoulder: "Xiaoqing, I'll come again tomorrow morning."
"Okay, but it's better to do it after ten o'clock, because Doudou usually won't wake up before ten o'clock."
Not only Dou Dou, he himself may not be able to wake up.
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Shen Runfeng waved at him, "No need to see me off."
Shen Qingyue watched him leave and went out to tidy up the living room.
Perhaps because there was no one around, the cub woke up quickly. Seeing that the light was not on and the room was empty and dark, Doudou felt a little panicked. He didn't even care whether he was wearing shoes or not, and jumped out of bed barefoot.
"Xiao Susu, Xiao Susu?" Doudou squeezed the handle hard. His eyes were misty because of fear. The cub cried aggrievedly, and the bedroom door was finally opened.
Shen Qingyue heard the cub calling him, and just as he ran to the bedroom door, it was opened from the inside.
"Xiao Susu, why aren't you here?" Doudou lay fragilely in his uncle's arms, his two little arms tightly wrapped around Shen Qingyue's neck, "Wow, it's so dark, I'm scared."
They hadn't turned on the lights when Shen Runfeng came in just now. It was already completely dark now. The weather had been bad in the past two days and there was no moon, so it was pitch black indoors. It was not unreasonable for the cub to be afraid.
Shen Qingyue held the baby and coaxed him for a while: "Don't be afraid, Doudou, your uncle is cleaning the living room. Your father bought you a lot of beautiful clothes and shoes. Do you want to take a look?"
Not only did he get Doudou's clothes and shoes, Shen Runfeng also gave him a watch. He actually knew a little about watches, but he didn't know much about overpriced ones.
After checking the unit price, Shen Qingyue took a deep breath and put the watch back into the box, intending to find a safe place to put it.
This watch is twice as much as his announcement fee for five episodes of the show combined.
Hearing the key words, the cub raised his eyes and looked around as if he suddenly remembered something, but there was no one else in the room except his uncle.
"Daddy's not here?" the cub asked in a low voice.
"Yeah." Shen Qingyue nodded: "Does Zaizai like his daddy? He will come and bring Doudou to play tomorrow."
Doudou pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly, "I'm only a little bit happy."
As if afraid that his uncle wouldn't believe it, the cub raised his little hand and made a small gesture with his thumb and index finger: "It's only this little bit."
My father didn't like me before, and I didn't like him either.
But now dad seems to have changed. Doudou is a very generous child, so he can forgive dad a little.
"I see. It turns out that you only like me in a tiny way." Shen Qingyue made an expression of sudden enlightenment: "Then do you still want the things that Dad bought for Doudou?"
"Yes." Doudou nodded.
The bleached clothes and shoes may make my dad a little more happy.
Seeing that he had successfully diverted the cub's attention, Shen Qingyue took Doudou to the living room and sat down, and put all the large bags of light luxury children's clothing brands that Shen Runfeng brought on the coffee table.
There were quite a few shoe boxes among the piles of clothes. Judging from the number, I guess they bought all the nice-looking items in the store.
These clothes include short-sleeved shirts for summer and jackets for autumn, as well as matching pants.
Shen Runfeng's taste in choosing clothes for the cubs is similar to his own style, all of which are solid-colored with a few cute little animals or cartoons painted on them.
You can tell that they have tried very hard, but the sizes of these clothes don't match what Doudou is wearing now.
Fortunately, the size I picked was too large, so Doudou will still be able to wear it when she grows taller. Some of the short-sleeved shirts were probably a bit small in size, and although the neckline and length were a bit big and long on Doudou, they were still wearable.
"Does it look good? Do you like it?" Shen Qingyue showed the cub around and asked.
Doudou nodded: "I am very happy."
"Then let's take a look at shoes next." Shen Qingyue casually took out a shoe box close to him, opened it and saw a pair of brown sandals.
The front half of the shoe is dark brown, the back half is light brown, and the toe is inlaid with a round plush brown bear head.
The soles are slightly thicker than the sandals that cubs usually wear, and the entire bottom is white.
Seeing that the size was similar to the one Doudou was wearing now, Shen Qingyue changed it for the cub.
"It's just the right size." Shen Qingyue nodded with satisfaction and praised, "It's so cute."
"Si is a little cute." Doudou also gave his evaluation.
The cub's feet happily scratched the sofa, and the white soles of its shoes flashed colorful lights.
The light is very conspicuous even in a well-lit living room. It alternates between red, yellow, green and blue, and starts flashing when the cub's feet move.
"Xiao Susu! Your feet are glowing!" Doudou widened his eyes in surprise, and he fluttered his legs in excitement, then fell onto the soft sofa with a bang.
"Hahaha." Shen Qingyue laughed at him mercilessly: "Our Doudou's foundation is not stable."
"Senmo Panpan?" the cub asked curiously, tilting his head.
"It's just that when Doudou lifts up his feet, his head falls down." Shen Qingyue explained while teasing the kid.
Doudou's face turned red. He stretched out his hands to cover the two lumps of fat on his cheeks, squeezing the flesh on his face until it was deformed: "Little Susu, don't laugh."
"Don't laugh, don't laugh." Shen Qingyue quickly put on a serious expression: "Dou Dou's shoes are so cool!"
“Yeah!” Doudou nodded his head in agreement as he climbed down from the sofa, walked around on the floor, and occasionally said, “Cool! Xiaosusu! Look how bright it is!”
This pair of cool color-changing shoes completely captured the cub's heart, and he was reluctant to take them off until just before taking a bath.
The cub frowned and looked at Shen Qingyue: "Xiao Susu, can I wear shiny shoes tomorrow?"
"Sure, these are Doudou's shoes, you can wear them anytime you want." Shen Qingyue agreed immediately, and then put the naked cub into the bathtub.
Doudou has now learned to take a bath by himself. He uses his own small towel to wipe his face, neck and chest very delicately. Although his uncle will wash him again after he is done, the cub never gets tired of it.
Shen Qingyue rubbed bubbles all over the cub's body, then handed the small towel to Doudou and let him play with it by himself.
He washed his hands, took out his phone and sent a message to his brother:
"Did you get home safely?"
Shen Runfeng did not go home. After leaving Shen Qingyue's house, he drove directly to the hospital. At this time, he was in the ward with his first love, taking care of her younger brother together.
After seeing Shen Qingyue's message, he replied: "Arrived."
Qingqing: "Doudou really likes the shoes you gave me, but the clothes are too big. I guess I can only wear them next year."
"[Video]"
It was a short video he had just taken of the kid trying on shoes and running around the living room excitedly because of the sparkling light on the edges of the shoes.
Shen Runfeng opened it without thinking much.
The ward was quiet, and the cub's clear laughter instantly filled the entire room.
The video was half a minute long, and Shen Runfeng’s reply came nearly ten minutes later:
"As long as Doudou likes it, I'm fine. If the clothes don't fit, buy new ones. I'll go take a look tomorrow."
Shen Qingyue took a dry towel and rubbed the cub's wet black hair. He took the time to send an OK expression, then wrapped the cub and took him out of the bathroom.
After helping Doudou get dressed and blow-drying his hair, Shen Qingyue went in, took a quick shower, and lay back on the bed.
He looked through the photos and videos he took of the cub today, picked out a few that he thought were good-looking, and posted them on WeChat Moments with the caption:
"First day of rest, good night~"
The cub, wearing refreshing pajamas, was already fast asleep in his arms. Shen Qingyue yawned, put down his phone, and turned on the night light at the bedside.
*
He did not sleep well that night. It started raining in the middle of the night. Shen Qingyue was woken up by the cold, got up in a daze, closed the window, and fell asleep again in a daze.
Maybe it was because of the wind, he felt a little dizzy when he got up in the morning.
Given the physical condition of this body, he gave himself a cold syrup without hesitation and took a few cold medicine pills.
After taking the medicine, I slept for a while and felt much more comfortable when I got up.
He picked up his phone and found several unread messages from Gu Xianzhi on WeChat.
3.50am:
"The other party has withdrawn a message" x3
Shen Qingyue felt that the time was a little weird. Based on his understanding of Gu Xianzhi, he would not send him a message in the middle of the night.
Qingqing: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Gu Xianzhi replied immediately: "No."
Qingqing: "What was withdrawn?"
Gu Xianzhi replied after two minutes:
"I was curious and wanted to ask you who the person holding Doudou is. After I sent it, I realized it was already very late. I didn't want to disturb you so I withdrew it. /Cute"
Shen Qingyue didn't remember it at once, and when he opened his Moments, he saw that in the nine-square grid, apart from the other eight photos of Doudou alone, there was only the photo in the middle of his brother holding Doudou and watching TV.
Qingqing: "Oh~ That's my brother, Doudou's biological father. He just came back from abroad and came to see Doudou."
"Dancing bear.jpg"
Gu Xizhi replied immediately: "No wonder Doudou is so close to him./snickering"
Qingqing: "Yes, why were you still awake so late yesterday? Were you busy?"
Gu Xizhi: "The company had some temporary matters to deal with, so I went to work overtime."
Shen Qing's expression became more and more shocked: "It's so hard."
Gu Xianzhi: "Not hard. / Cute"
Xiao Xun was sitting at the dining table, drinking from his bowl of milk. Noticing that his uncle, who had been frowning since morning, suddenly seemed to be in a better mood, the cub looked at him curiously.
"Uncle, what are you laughing at?" Xiao Xun asked.
Gu Danzhi raised his eyes and said, "Nothing."
Xiao Xun: “???”
My uncle has been acting strange since last night. First, he didn't sleep in the middle of the night. He kept sitting by the bed, looking at something. I woke up twice during the night and was startled both times by him.
Now it's mysterious again.
Xiao Xun stared at his uncle's back as he went upstairs. There was a hint of worry in the young boy's eyes that was not appropriate for a boy of this age.
Is my uncle crazy?
*
Taking cold syrup and cold medicine together was really powerful and pulled me back from the brink of catching a cold.
But Shen Qingyue still drank a few more cups of hot water cautiously, and only felt relieved when he felt that he was no longer feeling uncomfortable.
He originally planned to go out and buy groceries and cook. He had moved here for almost two weeks, but he had never properly cooked in the kitchen.
But after all the hard work, it was already past ten in the morning, and he didn't know when Shen Runfeng would come, so he didn't go out. He went to the bedroom to wake up the cub, planning to order some takeout around noon.
At eleven o'clock, the doorbell rang on time.
Shen Qingyue went to open the door, and was greeted by Shen Runfeng carrying two large takeout bags.
"Is Doudou awake?" Shen Runfeng asked Doudou as soon as he opened his mouth, looking like a good father.
Although it was not quite what he had imagined, Shen Qingyue had been dealing with parents for several years and had seen a lot. He could tell that he really cared about Doudou.
"I just finished washing up and am reading a book in the house." Shen Qingyue took him to the dining table, put down the bag, and saw Shen Runfeng's surprised expression.
"It's a small picture book I bought for him when I was shopping in the supermarket before. Doudou loves it very much."
After Shen Qingyue finished explaining to him, he saw that Shen Runfeng's surprised expression had subsided.
"Doudou, Dad is here to see you." Shen Qingyue knocked on the door and then opened the handle.
The cub was wearing fox pajamas and standing beside the bed with an open, colorful cartoon book in front of him.
"Little Susu!" Doudou greeted Shen Qingyue first, then turned to Shen Runfeng and waved his little hand: "Hello, Daddy."
"Doudou, what story are you reading?" Shen Runfeng walked to the cub and squatted down, wanting to watch it with him.
Doudou blinked and turned his bright eyes to his uncle standing beside him.
Shen Qingyue explained to the cub: "Doudou can't read very well now, and can only understand simple pictures, so it's actually quite difficult to ask him to repeat it."
"But he likes listening to stories, so you can tell him stories."
"Okay, then what story does Doudou want to hear?" Shen Runfeng is usually stern and serious in the company, so his aura is cold.
When you try so hard to be gentle and kind, it looks a little awkward to outsiders.
Doudou thinks so too, but because of the shiny shoes his father bought for him, he is still willing to play with his father.
"I want to hear it. The tadpole is looking for its mother." Doudou found the title of a bedtime story that his uncle had told him from his memory and repeated it in a baby voice.
Shen Runfeng's movements were obviously stiff for a moment, but he nodded gently and agreed: "Okay, Dad will tell you the story of the tadpole looking for its mother."
The scene here looked like a loving father and filial son, so Shen Qingyue left the bedroom carefully.
He walked to the dining table, opened the two takeout bags that Shen Runfeng had brought and took a look. It seemed that the meal was packed from the restaurant where they had dined yesterday.
There are a few dishes that are the same as what we ordered yesterday, all of which are Doudou’s favorites.
Shen Qingyue put down the bag and sat at the dining table for a while.
Daze.
He didn't know what he was thinking, he just felt a little empty everywhere, but he couldn't put it into words specifically.
The parent-child time there ended after Shen Runfeng finished telling Dou Dou a story.
The puppy had a keen nose and smelled the aroma of rice coming from the living room. He ran out of the bedroom in small steps, "Xiao Susu, the nest is here!"
Shen Qingyue had already put all the dishes on the plates and was pouring rice into the porcelain bowl.
He had originally planned to put the food on the plate in the microwave to heat it up if it got cold, but Shen Runfeng and Dou Dou came out before he had finished.
"Are you hungry, Doudou?" Shen Qingyue smiled and looked at the kid who kept looking at the table with sparkling eyes. "It's time to eat."
The cubs eat the most in a meal. They want to have a few bites of this dish and a few bites of that dish. They eat until their stomachs are full, and they hold their stomachs with a blank look in their eyes.
"I have something to do this afternoon, so I'll leave after dinner." Shen Runfeng was eating slowly like him, but after looking at his phone, he immediately put down his chopsticks for some reason: "Give me one of the clothes that Doudou is wearing now, and I'll buy a new one according to the standard."
Shen Qingyue paused while chewing the chicken wings: "No need to take it, just tell the salesperson to take the standard size 110 ones."
"Okay, I'll go first." Shen Runfeng stood up.
Shen Qingyue was puzzled: "Are you so anxious?"
"Well, I'll come to see you and Doudou when I have time." Shen Runfeng paused: "I'll send you a message in advance."
Shen Qingyue nodded: "I understand."
Shen Runfeng walked to the sofa, squatted down and rubbed the cub's face with the back of his hand: "Doudou, Daddy has something urgent to do and I'm leaving first. You and uncle should be good at home, okay?"
"You're right." Doudou was still holding her belly. She politely stretched out her arms and said, "Goodbye, Daddy."
"Goodbye, baby." Shen Runfeng held the cub's hand, stood up and left.
Shen Qingyue ate the dishes on the table slowly and leisurely. After finishing, he put the leftovers in the refrigerator as today's dinner.
Doudou also ran to help, busying around doing the housework. After watching the uncle put the dishes into the dishwasher, the cub rubbed his hands in a very serious manner: "Done!"
"Doudou is already an expert at doing housework." Shen Qingyue praised and successfully saw a smile on the cub's face.
He had eaten a bit too much today, so after taking his medicine in the house, he paced back and forth in the bedroom to help digest the food.
He opened his cell phone to make an appointment, and the doctor only prescribed him half a month's worth of medicine at a time, and he should go for a follow-up check-up after finishing the medicine.
Now there are only two days' supply left, and the number of follow-up examinations should not be many, so Shen Qingyue picked a number at ten o'clock in the morning.
After finishing all this, he originally wanted to chat with Gu Xianzhi for a while, but when he thought about how he was still working overtime and sending him messages at 3:50 in the morning last night, and that he should be catching up on sleep at this moment, he retracted his hand from sending the message.
I checked my Moments and Weibo.
"Xiao Susu." Doudou played with toys in the living room for a while and now stood at the bedroom door holding his remote-controlled car.
"Yes, uncle is here." Shen Qingyue put down his phone and turned around to see that the cub was already running towards him with its two short arms raised.
Shen Qingyue held the baby tightly in his arms and smiled: "What's the matter? Do you want me to play with you in the car?"
"No, Xiaosusu, I want to tell you a little secret." The cub looked a little shy, and his little face was red when he spoke.
Shen Qingyue nodded and showed a curious expression: "What little secret?"
Doudou covered his mouth, leaned close to his uncle's ear, and whispered, "I am the best in the world, my uncle is so happy."
Afraid that his uncle wouldn't understand, the cub added earnestly, "Little Susu is the happiest person in the world, and many, many people in the world are happiest to their father."
