The current situation is that Xu Zhaozhao and Gu Yulin are sitting together, and Gu Qingyan is sitting opposite them.
*Smack*
Gu Qingyan slammed the workbook shut.
The sound of the book closing seemed to carry a hint of anger.
The atmosphere froze.
Xu Zhaozhao secretly raised her eyes, only to see his back as he carefully put the books away. Her heart couldn't take it.
It felt like he was about to order her to sit next to him any second now.
Xu Zhaozhao was prepared to fight to the end.
Squeak—
The stool next to her was pulled out, and the scraping sound of the stool legs against the ground brought her back to reality.
Gu Qingyan swayed as he sat down next to her.
His expression was somewhat cold, but he did indeed sit down next to her on his own initiative.
Xu Zhaozhao summarized his behavior.
In a fit of anger, he... became angry.
"Pfft."
Xu Zhaozhao couldn't help but let out a slightly mocking sound.
After receiving a dangerous look from someone, he quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth, but his smile was still very obvious.
"Eat, eat! I'm starving!"
Seeing the nanny bring up breakfast, Xu Zhaozhao felt like she had found a lifeline.
Xu Zhaozhao was used to being stared at by the two of them, and under the pressure of their gazes, she ate a sandwich and some hot milk.
And she firmly refused when they tried to stuff an egg into her mouth.
Just after finishing his meal, Gu Qingyan was called away by a phone call, taking his slightly exposed nipples with him.
He can decline filming commitments, but he still needs to handle urgent matters at the company.
Allowing him to have fun for two days is already the limit for Gou Ge.
After Gu Qingyan left, Xu Zhaozhao completely let loose and lived her life to the fullest.
I took out all the potato chips and sundaes and ate them while watching cartoons.
Recently, she has become obsessed with some suspenseful detective animated films.
When seeing the truth being deduced, Xu Zhaozhao couldn't help but be moved by the visuals and background music.
She was engrossed in watching, and when the truth came out, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and continued eating her sundae.
After going back and forth like this, even in the temperature-controlled environment, I felt a bit hot and broke out in a light sweat.
First, she rolled up her long sleeves to expose her forearms, and then pulled open the high collar that was close to her neck to let some wind in.
The cartoons weren't played anymore; they'll wait until she calms down before continuing to watch them.
"Mom, are you hot?"
Yu Yu's voice came from behind Xu Zhaozhao.
Startled, she nearly slipped off the sofa, quickly letting go of the collar and rolling down both sleeves.
Damn, it's even hotter now.
Feeling a little guilty, she turned around and saw Gu Yulin, who was standing on tiptoe, leaning against the back of the sofa, tilting his head and looking at her.
"Haha, no."
She even pretended to rub her hands together, saying, "It's cold, Mommy's a little cold..."
Fortunately, although Gu Yulin's eyes showed some doubt, he did not intend to dwell on whether she was hot or not.
He walked around from behind the sofa to the front of Xu Zhaozhao, and with his hands behind his back, he asked somewhat cautiously, "Isn't Mom going to work today?"
"If you don't have to go to work, what do you want to do, baby?"
Xu Zhaozhao may not understand anyone else, but she definitely understands Gu Yulin. "Mom will stay with you."
Yu Yu could barely suppress the smile on her face.
After hesitating for a while, she handed the things behind her to Xu Zhaozhao, saying, "I want to open the presents with my mom."
Xu Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment.
This was her own gift, so of course she recognized it.
Surprisingly, the fish still hasn't been dismantled.
This also shows that her gift has a different meaning for Yu Yu.
She picked up Gu Yulin and made him sit on the sofa. "Okay, Mommy and Yuyu will open it together."
It's no exaggeration to say that Xu Zhaozhao's gift, among the rest of the pile, was the most simple and unpretentious.
There were only some ropes and gift wrapping paper.
Xu Zhaozhao held his little hand and slowly untied the ribbon on the gift paper, revealing the box inside.
A letter and a plain white box.
Xu Zhaozhao led him to open the letter.
This letter is more like a message.
[to: My baby]
You can confirm with your mother a thousand times over that Mom will always love you.
Happy birthday!】
"puff."
Xu Zhaozhao was still amused by the birthday cake she had drawn by hand at the end.
She really has no talent for drawing; she just drew some crooked little lines that could roughly be made out to be a cake and a candle.
Before she could make fun of herself, Gu Yulin carefully stuffed the letter back into her hand.
Some said seriously, "This is evidence; we must preserve it carefully."
Xu Zhaozhao smiled.
She had Yu Yu open the white box, and a book came into view.
"A record of my four years with my fish".
This is the book cover.
Xu Zhaozhao suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Gu Yulin lacks nothing, and she can't even buy those limited edition items.
After thinking it over, I found a tutorial online and made a pop-up book myself.
It's really too much of a challenge for her, since she's terrible at handicrafts.
It took me a long time to finish these four pages.
Gu Yulin stared at the cover, hesitating to turn to the first page.
Xu Zhaozhao couldn't stand it anymore and turned the page to the first page for him.
The first page contains various photos taken by the original owner.
Although the original owner didn't like Yu Yu, she couldn't deny his handsomeness.
Sometimes, when she was getting various documents for her child or sending photos to Gu Ru, she was too lazy to delete them. That day, when Xu Zhaozhao was going through her phone, she found some photos from when she was a child.
She printed it out and pasted it on the first page. It showed him in swaddling clothes, crawling, walking, and... some with wounds.
This memory shouldn't be buried. Xu Zhaozhao doesn't want him to bury these memories; it will make him feel suffocated.
Only by facing it bravely can Gu Yulin be healed by her.
The last page reads, "These are all in the past."
He turned to the second page, which contained photos of them taken during this period. Xu Zhaozhao had even added a small sliding mechanism.
There are so many photos of them together, it's almost impossible to fit them all in here.
The last page reads, "We have a bright future."
The third page shows a mini 3D cake that Xu Zhaozhao spent a long time making, replicating it 1:1 from an online source. It took her four whole days to complete!
This cake will never go out; it will forever exist in Yu Yu's four-year-old life.
At this moment, Gu Yulin was still able to keep her composure, though her small hands trembled slightly.
Neither of them spoke, and Gu Yulin turned to the last page.
It is a "promise" handwritten by Xu Zhaozhao.
Xu Zhaozhao hereby solemnly promises that she will love Yu Yu for a lifetime.
Lying is the act of a puppy!
The commitment letter isn't the main point; the main point is the "coupon" attached below.
The coupons were made by Xu Zhaozhao herself, with playful embellishments next to the words.
There are coupons for "Making a Request to Mom", "Please Don't Be Angry, Mom", "Get a Kiss from Mom", and "Get Mom to Spend Time with Me"...
