Chapter 8 This Rebellious Son
Huo Xiang inquired about Li Guixun's off-get off work time and dietary restrictions, and prepared a meal for him on time.
Stir-fried Chinese spinach, rapeseed and shiitake mushrooms, stir-fried celery and meat, and white fungus, lily and lotus seed soup.
Li Guixun got off work at a certain time. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Shunshun standing on Huo Xiang's finger, calling out with his little head in a very rhythmic manner.
He stopped and listened carefully. It was the "jiguji" sound that he had taught Shunshun countless times!
No, every time I taught it before, it turned a deaf ear. Once in Huo Xiang's hands, he learned it just like that?
Or has this little guy been hiding his abilities in front of him?
The more I think about it, the more it seems to be the case.
Li Guixun gnashed his teeth and thought: Great, he is really a good son, but what a double standard!
"Mr. Li, you're back!" Huo Xiang found Li Guixun.
Li Guixun's face instantly turned kind: "Yeah, I'm back. Are you getting used to it?"
"I can adapt. Mr. Li, your house is well decorated. I like it very much." Huo Xiang tried hard to ignore the straightforward gaze from the opposite side and praised generously.
"As long as you like it." It's worth my preparation for so long...
"Mr. Li, Shun Shun can sing a song now! It's really smart. I only played it twice and it learned it!" Huo Xiang held Shun Shun in his arms and looked at it with extremely gentle eyes.
Shun Shun seemed to understand that Huo Xiang was praising it, and flew directly to its snack plate, picked out the fullest melon seed, flew back to Huo Xiang's hand, and peeled it in a few seconds.
It nodded its little head and said, "Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang, please take good care of me!"
Huo Xiang was flattered: "Is this for me? Thank you, Xiao Shunshun!"
Then he turned around and said to Li Guixun excitedly, "Mr. Li, Shun Shun can actually peel melon seeds. That's amazing!"
Li Guixun suddenly felt a little jealous. This kid is doing better than me. When will Xiangxiang call me "Little Xunxun" so gently?
He was also very glad that he raised a parrot and not a cat or dog, otherwise he would have to sleep in Xiangxiang's arms!
"Yes, Shun Shun is the best, I have never seen one like him! You taught him well. I made the right choice by inviting you. From now on, our whole family will rely on you."
Huo Xiang pretended not to understand what he meant and said with a smile: "It is my duty, and I will do my best. Mr. Li, I made a few dishes for you, would you like to try them?"
It wasn't until all the food was served on the table that Li Guixun came to his senses. This was really made by Xiangxiang for him, for him alone!
“Celery is rich in apigenin, lily can soothe the mind and calm the nerves, and the aromatic essential oils and apigenin in chrysanthemum can regulate the nervous system and relieve anxiety.
Rapeseed is rich in vitamin B6 and magnesium, which can promote the normal function of the nervous system and improve sleep quality; shiitake mushrooms contain a variety of antioxidants, which help to remove free radicals in the body, reduce oxidative stress, and improve sleep quality..."
Huo Xiang helped him explain one by one. Li Guixun was already so happy that he became an idiot, but he said:
"It's hard work. But you don't have to do this every day. You can make a menu and let the chef make it. If you really want to, just make one or two dishes occasionally. You can also tell the chef what you like to eat."
"Okay, I got it. Why don't you try the food first to see if it suits your taste?" Huo Xiang said.
"It's right, it definitely is!" Li Guixun was like a tyrant.
Huo Xiang had already eaten with the chef Uncle Tian, so all of this was for Li Guixun alone.
He picked up the chopsticks with a smile, and nodded and praised every time he took a bite: "Good, delicious! The celery is fried neither too soft nor too hard... The mushrooms are so tender... The soup is good, sweet but not greasy. I feel like I will sleep very well tonight..."
In fact, he suffered from insomnia.
There are many reasons for this.
First of all, it’s supported.
This was the first time Huo Xiang cooked for him, and he would finish it even if he died of fullness! Besides, it was really delicious, so he ate too much without realizing it.
Huo Xiang didn't know how much he ate and thought he was a big eater normally, after all, he was so tall and in good shape, so he watched him finish all three dishes, add three bowls of rice, and drink a large bowl of soup.
Secondly, the real Huo Xiang really came to his house, talked to him, and kept smiling at him...
Although that smile was mostly polite and distant, and showed the employees' respect for the boss, Li Guixun was still happy!
Moreover, Xiangxiang lived no more than fifty meters away from him, in a room he designed himself. How could he sleep?
The most important thing is that Shun Shun, that little bastard, actually stuck to Huo Xiang, jumping up and down, and wouldn't give in, and even insisted on moving into Huo Xiang's room with her! ! !
How could he tolerate this!
My son has grown up and wants to sleep by himself. Is it appropriate for him to stick to his mother?
ah! Is that reasonable? !
◥◤
But he could only rage helplessly in his own bedroom, without affecting the man and the bird on the other side at all.
After walking back and forth and turning a hundred times, Li Guixun couldn't help it anymore, so he opened the door and came to Huo Xiang's door.
“Boom boom boom…”
"Huo Xiang, are you asleep?"
Huo Xiang was not asleep. He turned on the ambient light and enjoyed the cozy new environment with Shun Shun.
He quickly opened the door.
"Mr. Li, are you still awake?"
Seeing Huo Xiang wearing a loose pajama T-shirt, he quickly looked away: "Sorry to bother you... Well, I suddenly remembered that we can't let Shun Shun get into your bed. If we turn over, he will be crushed to death. Besides, he might talk in his sleep and whistle in the middle of the night. Otherwise, let him stay in his cage!"
Huo Xiang smiled and looked at the aggrieved little fellow on his shoulder, and said, "Shun Shun is a little clingy, maybe he is curious about me! But I brought the cage with me, so I won't sleep with him. And I sleep deeply, so I also prepared earplugs, so you don't have to worry about him disturbing me."
Only then did Li Guixun feel relieved.
Shun Shun was unhappy, and flew directly to Li Guixun's shoulder and defecated.
He wiped his butt clean with his silver-gray pajamas, then returned to the cage, pacing around like a street urchin, whistling happily and arrogantly.
Li Guixun hadn't noticed yet, and was thinking of taking the opportunity to chat with Huo Xiang about the fifty cents, but he saw Huo Xiang pointing at his right shoulder, hesitantly saying:
"Mr. Li...you...why don't you go back and change your clothes first!"
Li Guixun returned to the bedroom and went straight into the bathroom.
Ahhhh, the abstinence-style pajamas that I carefully selected! I spent half a day preparing the topic! It’s ruined, all ruined!
This rebellious son makes me so mad!
┻╰（‵□′）╯
When he came out after washing, he found that Huo Xiang had sent him a WeChat message.
It turned out to be a video.
Shun Shun stood on Huo Xiang's finger, raised his little head insincerely, and shouted:
"Dad, I was wrong... Dad, I was wrong..."
[Mr. Li, Shunshun didn't do it on purpose. I will find a way to train him to pee in the designated place later. If you are a magnanimous person, please forgive the child! ］
Perhaps Huo Xiang also felt that the naughty kid's apology was too perfunctory, so he immediately sent a pitiful Pikachu emoticon.
In fact, Shun Shun is a very clean parrot and learned to urinate in a fixed place very early.
However, Li Guixun did not say much, and his mood turned from cloudy to sunny in an instant.
He cleared his throat several times and sent two voice messages: "It's okay, Shunshun, Daddy forgives you. We are still good children if we correct our mistakes!"
"Huo Xiang, you've been tired all day. You've been taking care of Shun Shun at night. Go to bed early. Good night."
He pressed the button and immediately frowned. Why did it feel a bit tight?
Just as I was about to withdraw the message and resend it, Huo Xiang had already replied.
Huo Huo Huo Huo: [Okay, good night. ］
