Chapter 78 Exclusive (78) My bed is pretty big...

The restaurant is located near the business district in the city center, on the lakeside, with transparent views on all sides. Its main feature is the immersive lake view that can be seen from outside the suite.

Outside the large floor-to-ceiling window is the lake that is almost within reach. The water ripples gently on the transparent window, and the lights and moonlight interweave, sparkling in the gentle breeze.

Following the waiter into the private room, the kid, who had never seen anything like this before, exclaimed in surprise. Before his round eyes could finish observing the surroundings, they were attracted by the slowly surging deep blue lake water outside the glass.

"What's wrong, Doudou?" Gu Yinzhi put the soft baby down in his arms in time and helped Shen Qingyue pull out the seat.

Because there were waiters around, the cub seemed a little shy. After being put down, he just stretched out his little hand to hold Gu Yinzhi's finger and whispered, "There's so much water."

Shen Qingyue had already sat down. After hearing what Doudou said, he chuckled and asked, "Do you like the water here?"

"I'm so happy!" Doudou looked at Xiaosusu with a smile and answered without thinking this time.

The private rooms here are larger than those in ordinary restaurants. Next to the floor-to-ceiling window is a table with a white marble top and a black solid wood edge.

The seats were of the same style, and a beige tassel chandelier emitted a soft, cold light, shining down dimly, as if casting a layer of cold white filter over the people sitting in the seats.

We ordered some hot dishes that looked good and that Doudou could also eat, then Gu Yinzhi ordered some drinks and, under Doudou's "guidance", we ordered some desserts.

The kid looked very excited after leaving the house. Gu Xianzhi fed him tea and fruit. He sat by the window, holding a cantaloupe, shaking his head from side to side, and singing "Ula Yaha~ Yaha Wula~"

Shen Qingyue took out his phone and took a few photos of Doudou. When he noticed that Gu Xianzhi was looking at him, he smiled and shook his phone: "Do you want to take a photo with Doudou?"

Gu Dianzhi paused for a second, then nodded: "Okay."

After seeking Doudou's consent, Gu Xizhi took the two cubs directly into his arms, one big and one small. The older one was smiling slightly, and the smaller one was sitting in his arms, grinning with his tiny teeth and eyes almost dying with laughter.

"I'll send you the photo."

After Shen Qingyue finished speaking, the cell phone on the table opposite him began to vibrate.

Gu Xianzhi picked up his phone, and Doudou, who had returned to his seat, also looked to the side with his curious little head.

Then, the cub seemed to have discovered a new continent. He suddenly raised his little finger and pointed at the screen of his mobile phone happily: "Four little Susu!"

"Hmm?" Shen Qingyue was puzzled.

"The photo shows the four little Susu and Xiaoxun, Uncle Susu!" The cub gestured with his little hands and tried to explain, but he became a little incoherent in his anxiety.

Fortunately, Gu Dianzhi turned the screen of his mobile phone around in time, and Shen Qingyue was able to see it clearly.

On the lock screen of the phone was a photo of him and I taken in Jiangcheng a few days ago.

Both of them were wearing thick winter clothes, and the tip of their noses and cheeks were a little red from the wind, even the tips of their ears were red.

In this photo, I am holding a mobile phone, and Gu Xunzhi is standing behind me, bending slightly with his face almost touching my face. It seemed okay when I took the photo, but now it looks inexplicably ambiguous.

"I saw it. It's a picture of me and your Uncle Gu." Shen Qingyue comforted the kid who wanted to explain. Dou Dou then pursed his lips and nodded, his eyes shining.

"Did you change the wallpaper on purpose?" Shen Qingyue turned his gaze to Gu Xunzhi and found that he was also looking at him.

"Yeah." Gu Xianzhi put away his phone, his eyes focused and gentle: "Because I like it very much."

The dishes were almost served as we talked. The beautiful porcelain plates covered most of the table. The aroma lingered, and Doudou sniffed for a while, and his stomach started to growl.

Shen Qingyue served Doudou a small bowl of truffle abalone rice. The little cub tried hard to chew the short ribs cut by Gu Yuzhi with his tiny teeth, and did not forget to look at the shiny Dungeness crab on his small plate with his big round eyes.

The meal took nearly two hours. Shen Qingyue was about eight-tenths full and wanted to stop there. But when the dessert came, he couldn't help but drink another bowl of ice flower wine.

The icy cold wine paired with peach gum and roselle sauce is sour and sweet, and has the aroma of strawberry.

It was already past nine o'clock when they finished their meal. When Gu Xianzhi came back after settling the bill, Shen Qingyue was just carrying Doudou down from the chair.

This is the time when the cubs usually sleep, and since he had just eaten, Doudou looked a little listless, and the alopecia on his head looked drooping behind his head.

Gu Xianzhi leaned over and picked up Doudou in a familiar manner, took Shen Qingyue's hand, and said softly: "Sorry, I didn't notice the time. Are you sleepy?"

"Ah, I'm not sleepy." Shen Qingyue came back to his senses.

Gu Shanzhi's action of holding hands just now was so natural that he didn't react for a moment.

But I don't feel disgusted. On the contrary, being held by such a pair of warm and dry hands makes me feel at ease and secure.

"I'll get you a taxi."

When they got downstairs, Gu Xianzhi took out his phone after he finished speaking. Shen Qingyue looked around curiously and asked in confusion, "Where is the car we took here?"

"The driver had something to do at home, so I asked him to go home early."

Gu Xizhi paused for a moment and said calmly, "I'll just find a hotel nearby tonight and ask him to pick me up tomorrow."

This is a commercial district with many hotels, but there are also many people staying here. It is difficult to book a good room at this time.

Shen Qingyue frowned and spoke hesitantly: "Well, how about you stay at my house for one night?"

"Okay, thank you."

Gu Danzhi responded promptly and quickly, without even a moment's pause to think, as if he had prepared the answer in advance.

Shen Qingyue glanced at him suspiciously, then thought that Gu Xianzhi couldn't go back because he invited her to dinner, so he quickly dispelled this little doubt.

Planning to stop a car on the side of the road, Gu Xianzhi was still holding the child, so Shen Qingyue walked a few steps towards the intersection ahead. Just as he was about to stretch out his arm, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Xiao Qing?"

Shen Qingyue turned around and saw a silver-gray car slowly stop beside him. The window of the driver's seat was half open, revealing Shen Runfeng's face.

"Brother, you are here too?" He noticed with his sharp eyes that the woman sitting in the passenger seat, who was dressed gently and neatly, was also looking at him.

Shen Runfeng hummed: "I just happened to come here for dinner, why did you come out alone?"

"Where's Doudou?"

"What's wrong?"

Gu Xianzhi had originally planned to follow, but he was holding a sleepy baby in his arms, so he walked slower. Now he saw that Shen Qingyue seemed to be harassed, so he came over and spoke up.

"Nothing, I just met Doudou's father."

Shen Qingyue turned his head and glanced at the obedient little cub who was curled up in Gu Tanzhi's arms like a little glutinous rice dumpling. His eyes softened instantly.

"Oh." Gu Xizhi and Shen Runfeng nodded as a greeting.

Shen Runfeng also nodded, then got out of the car, reached out and took the baby from Gu Danzhi's arms.

After all, Doudou was his biological son. Gu Dianzhi and Shen Qingyue looked at each other, and when they saw him nod, they carefully put Doudou into his arms.

Shen Runfeng smiled and pinched the kid's face. After failing to wake him up, he patted his back and said, "Doudou? Wake up and see who I am."

“…”

Doudou was originally dreaming about hanging out with his uncle Xiaoxun, Xiaoxun, and Xiaosusu. He was having a great time when he was suddenly woken up by the slap in the face. He was completely stunned.

The cub opened his eyes dazedly, coughed twice, and then tilted his head to look at the person in front of him: "Huh?"

After seeing it clearly, Doudou was a little nervous, pursed his lips and whispered, "Fourth Dad."

"Dad, where's Xiao Susu?"

The expected exciting scene did not happen. Instead, the first sentence he said was to find his brother. Shen Runfeng sighed, feeling that Dou Dou was still not close to him.

"Doudou, I'm here." Shen Qingyue responded.

The cub turned around happily and saw Xiao Susu and Gu Xianzhi standing together. His slightly frowned brows instantly relaxed and he smiled sweetly: "Xiao Susu! Susu!"

Shen Runfeng originally wanted to carry Doudou into the car to get acquainted with his current girlfriend, but he remembered the messages that Shen Qingyue had sent him before, which were not very nice.

Afraid that he might suddenly go crazy here and leave a bad impression on his girlfriend, he had to give up the idea.

Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

"Okay, it's getting late and I have things to do."

Shen Runfeng returned the bag to Shen Qingyue and got back into the car: "I'll come visit you guys when I have time."

"Um."

Shen Qingyue nodded and watched the silver-gray car disappear at the end of the street.

"Xiao Susu, will you hug me for Senmo's dad?"

It has been less than five minutes since the cub was woken up. Although he is conscious again, he is still in a dazed state. He tugged at the corner of Shen Qingyue's clothes and looked at Gu Xunzhi.

"Because we met your father on the way home." Shen Qingyue patted the cub's head: "He said he wanted to hug Doudou, so Uncle Gu let him hug you."

Doudou seemed to understand and nodded: "Oh!"

…

After returning home, Shen Qingyue pushed the two suitcases lying in front of the entrance and put them aside. He smiled embarrassedly at Gu Weizhi: "It's a bit messy. I haven't found time to clean it up since I came back this time."

Gu Xianzhi put the baby in his arms down and put on the slippers Shen Qingyue brought him: "It's fine."

"It will be the fourth show in two days. If we put it this way, we won't have to go back and forth to pack it up, which saves energy."

"That seems to make sense." Shen Qingyue laughed and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt: "It's a little late, I'll give Doudou a bath and let him sleep, you sit for a while?"

Gu Xizhi took a step forward: "I'll help you."

Shen Qingyue thought about it and nodded: "Okay."

Although the weather is not cold yet, it is already past the beginning of autumn, and the warm light is still on in the bathroom.

The orange light shines into the round cartoon-like bathtub, and the filled water surface shimmers with golden ripples.

Doudou sat obediently in the bathtub, his dark hair was already wet, with a ball of fragrant shampoo foam on his head.

The cub had a lot of fun poking the rubber duck on the water with its little arms, and shaking the small ball with a bell on it.

"Do children like to play with toys while taking a bath?" Gu Yinzhi and Shen Qingyue sat on each side. Gu Yinzhi asked Shen Qingyue while applying shower gel on Doudou's neck and back.

"Pretty much. Children like to play with water and play with toys while taking a bath."

The shirt and jacket I was wearing was too light and thin. After I rolled up the sleeves, they fell down and got wet by the warm water in the bathtub. Soon, they became cold and stuck to my body.

Shen Qingyue lifted it up four or five times repeatedly, and felt a little annoyed, so he simply took off the troublesome shirt.

He casually put the clothes in the laundry basket beside him and sat down again, leaving only the tight black short-sleeved shirt that he had originally worn as an inner layer on his body.

The dark black fabric wrapped around the body perfectly shows the lines of the entire upper body, as well as the beautiful shape of the shoulder blades and waistline when bending forward.

Gu Xizhi just glanced at him and looked away, picking up the small square towel beside him to wash Doudou's face.

Giving a child a bath is also a physically demanding task, not to mention that there was a warm light on overhead in the room. After taking a bath, both of them were sweating to varying degrees.

After changing Doudou into little yellow bunny pajamas, Shen Qingyue took the cub to the room. There was no need to coax the cub to sleep. While he and Gu Xunzhi were making milk together, the cub had already fallen asleep hugging his own little quilt.

The two of them left the room quietly, and Shen Qingyue stood in the living room and looked around.

When we first moved in, most of the furniture was left over from the landlord's renovation.

The sofa in the living room is rather narrow. It's ok for a child to sleep on it, but he doesn't even dare to toss and turn in his sleep, let alone take care of it.

Although there are guest rooms, they only have a few unused chairs and tables, and no beds.

Shen Qingyue hesitated for a while, then suddenly looked at Gu Xizhi: "How about you sleep in the same room with me?"

Although this is a normal thing to say, it feels weird when I say it to Gu Xizhi.

"The bed for the guest room hasn't been bought yet, and the sofa in the living room is too small for you to sleep on."

Seeing that Gu Xizhi did not respond, he added: "My bed is quite big."

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but after he said this, he seemed to see Gu Xizhi smile.

But it was only for a moment, and the corridor was not as bright as the living room, so he couldn't see clearly.

But after he finished speaking, Gu Xianzhi did speak slowly: "Very good, thank you for your help."

“…No problem.”

Shen Qingyue turned and walked towards the cloakroom: "Wait here for a moment, I'll find you some pajamas."

"Okay, thank you." Gu Xianzhi agreed, but did not follow him.

Shen Qingyue walked hurriedly into the cloakroom, which was filled with mirrors and light tubes. After turning on the lights, the whole room was very bright. When he looked up, he could see himself in full-body mirrors from all angles.

Shen Qingyue pinched the tips of her red ears, put aside the messy thoughts in her mind, squatted down, opened Xia Tian's storage box, and searched inside.

His own clothes were too small for Gu Xizhi, and he searched for a long time before he found a large black and gold bathrobe.

He measured it on his body in front of the mirror and thought it should be fine for Gu Xunzhi to wear, so he took it and went out.

Gu Xunzhi was not in the living room. Only the bathroom door was half-open, and some slight collision sounds could be heard from inside.

"Do you care?"

Shen Qingyue knocked on the door: "Are you in the bathroom?"

"Yeah." Before Shen Qingyue could continue asking, the bathroom door was opened from the inside, and Gu Xianzhi rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing his strong forearms, which seemed to be wet: "The bathroom is full of water, so I cleaned it up."

Shen Qingyue took a look inside and saw that the bathroom floor had been mopped, Doudou's small bathtub had been cleaned and put back in its original place, and even a few towels had been wrung out and hung to dry.

Shen Qingyue was quite surprised. Although they had been on the show together three times, she had never realized that Gu Xianzhi could do housework so neatly and efficiently.

He handed the bathrobe over and said, "You should wash up too. You've worked hard today."

"It's not hard." Gu Xizhi took the clothes and said, "I'm very happy."
