"It's not good... it's not good... my tap water pipe is leaking!"
boom--
Hit by a collision.
Gu Xijue was stunned, and so was Xiaochen.
◎◎◎
Half an hour later, the water pipe was repaired, but Gu Xijue was in a mess. He had a sullen face and regretted it. Damn it, he was not a repairman, why should he meddle in such nosy matters?! He didn’t want the shirt anymore, but he didn’t have it.
He had to change, he felt terrible! Looking at the fresh, cleanly dressed little girl in the room, who was as beautiful as a little princess, he felt even worse!
Xiaochen seemed to feel the anger in Gu Xijue's eyes. She glanced secretly in his direction, lowered her head, walked closer to him, and passed a towel with her little hand, "Uncle, wipe it off!"
Gu Xijue looked at the towel coldly, "Is it new?"
"No, I use it to wash my face." Xiaochen felt very sad that his towel had been donated like this, but he still looked ungrateful, which is really annoying!
Gu Xijue shook his head, "No. I can't use other people's things."
A trace of anger flashed in the little girl's eyes, but she still tried to remain calm on her pretty face. After all, he had just helped her family solve a big problem, and she still wanted to thank him.
Gu Xijue saw the little girl's contradiction, and a hint of playfulness appeared on the corner of her lips, "What?! You hate me?!"
Xiaochen suddenly felt embarrassed that his thoughts had been read. His face turned red and red. He gritted his teeth and nodded and admitted, "Well, I don't like it very much anymore because you were so mean to Mommy and me at school that time."
, he is completely different from the original uncle knight, I decided at that time that I would never like you again!"
"Very good, I don't like you anymore either!" Gu Xijue said frankly. During the few times we met before, he liked this little girl very much. She was cute and smart, but he didn't expect that she was actually Xi Haitang.
His daughter! This reality was unacceptable to him. As soon as he thought that such a lovely child was born to her and Xiao Muyuan, he couldn't help but get angry!
Xiaochen was stimulated by Gu Xijue's confession. In her whole life, no one had ever told her that they didn't like her face to face. A trace of hurt slipped through her clear eyes, shallow and fleeting. If it was someone else
, may not be aware of her mood at all, but Gu Xijue's observation is so keen. He immediately saw the little girl's loss. For some reason, he felt a little distressed and quickly looked away.
Xiaochen pursed her lips in grievance. If you don't like it, you don't like it. Who cares? Humph!
"I really sympathize with Gu Yunhen. It's so pitiful to have a dad like you!"
"Then how good is your daddy?!" Gu Xijue immediately retorted, but as soon as he said the words, he regretted it, regretted it extremely. Oh my god, how could he quarrel with a little girl?! He was so childish that it is unreasonable to tolerate it.
Got it!
There were cracks on the handsome face, but Xiaochen didn't notice it, and still said bravely, "Of course my daddy is fine, he is the best daddy in the world!"
"That's enough!" Gu Xijue cut off Xiaochen's words. He didn't want to know how good Xiao Muyuan was!
He walked out of the kitchen and looked in other rooms. He didn't find any items belonging to men wherever his eyes passed. The anger in his heart subsided slightly, "Where is your mommy?"
"I went shopping for groceries. Do you have anything to do with her?"
"Yeah." Gu Xijue responded in a low voice and looked at Yunhen's sweater.
Xiaochen opened his eyes wide, thought for a while, and suddenly realized, "Uncle, you are really too much. You must have ruined the sweater!"
"So what?!"
"You are really too much!!!" Xiaochen emphasized again, his big eyes full of contempt.
Gu Xijue narrowed his eyes and looked at her. The little girl looked fearless. He was really impressed by her temperament at such a young age!
There was a slight noise at the door, and Xiaochen ran over quickly, "Mommy is back!"
Xi Haitang pushed the door open carrying the vegetables and meat he had just bought from the market. He was stunned when he saw Gu Xijue, and his whole body was immediately on high alert, "Why are you here?!"
"I'm here to help repair the water pipes in your house!" Gu Xijue said angrily. He, who had always been a germophobe, couldn't bear the current embarrassing appearance, so his tone naturally couldn't get better.
Xi Haitang was confused, and Xiaochen quickly explained, "Mommy, the water pipe at home was broken just now, and water kept leaking out. Thanks to Uncle Knight, he came here for an ulterior purpose!"
Due to Xiaochen's presence, Xi Haitang restrained his emotions slightly and asked him, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm looking for you to mend the sweater." Gu Xijue handed the sweater over, with a slight regret on his expression, "Yunhen is very sad at home, can you fix it quickly?"
Xi Haitang was silent for a moment. Although he was hateful, Yunhen was innocent. Besides, Xiaochen was also present. She couldn't quarrel with her classmate's father in front of her daughter. She paused and nodded, "Okay."
"how much time is required?"
"Two or three hours." Xi Haitang was also helpless. The stitching method of this sweater was very special. It was a new pattern she learned. It was much more difficult than ordinary knitting methods and naturally required more time.
Gu Xijue looked at his watch and felt a little embarrassed. Should he wait here forever? Yunhen didn't know how he was doing at home. Thinking of his son saying he hated him, his heart tightened again.
Xi Haitang was slightly surprised. In her opinion, Gu Xijue was a heinous villain, but he actually showed such a helpless and sad expression. It was incredible!
Xiaochen looked at the two adults, with confusion on his face, "Mommy, do you want to mend your sweater first, or cook first?"
Xi Haitang suddenly realized, Oh my God, it’s already half past five and dinner hasn’t been cooked yet!
"Xiaochen, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something to cushion your stomach?"
"I'm not very hungry yet, but I won't be in two or three hours."
Xi Haitang looked at Gu Xijue and said in a distant tone, "I have to mend my sweater after dinner. You can pick it up later."
"No." Gu Xijue shook his head intuitively. If he went home empty-handed, I'm afraid Yunhen would never forgive him in his life, just like he didn't forgive his father back then.
He was feeling depressed when a rapid vibration came from his cell phone in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was the number of his home phone, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
The caller was the housekeeper Mrs. Zhou, "Sir, please come back quickly, the young master..."
