A family of four

"Sir, please come back quickly. The young master refuses to eat. He even locked himself in the room. There is no movement in the room. What if..."

Before the call was finished, Gu Xijue had already rushed downstairs. The Spyker C8 drove onto the highway, racing wildly. The car and the people were gradually losing control of their rationality.

Yunhen shouldn't do anything stupid, right?!

Gu Xijue's calm mind had been completely lost. His eyes were confused, and terrible scenes kept flashing through his mind.

Twenty years ago, he once cut his hand with a knife, only half a centimeter away from the blood vessel and artery...

Yunhen looks so much like him, will he be like that?

As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, Gu Xijue had never been so afraid of losing!

Back at the Gu family's mansion, Mrs. Zhou and all the servants in the family gathered around her, "Sir, you are finally back. Come upstairs and have a look!"

"Yunhen..." Gu Xijue's voice was trembling. After breaking through the door, he was stunned.

In the tidy room, the curtains were tightly drawn. In front of the stone-wood table, Yunhen sat quietly, holding a book in his hand and wearing a headset. The original German sound was playing on the MP4 beside him. He listened to it.

He was very serious, opening and closing his mouth to spit out words silently. German, the most rigorous language in the world, seemed even more confusing at this moment.

Gu Xijue suddenly trembled. He seemed to have seen himself twenty years ago. That day, he was also like this. He silently shut himself in the room alone and looked at the stock market on the computer, his eyes fixed and his face expressionless.

He once hated his father for not loving him, yet he gave birth to him. Now, he gave birth to Yunhen, but he turned him into another person.

"Yunhen... stop studying. Daddy will take you to a place." He reached out and took off the headset on his son's head, moved the book away, and held his cold little hand. Fortunately, it was not too late.

At a quarter past six, Xi Haitang cooked the meal to perfection, and the aroma filled the kitchen. Xiaochen swallowed his saliva, eager to try it.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Xi Haitang frowned slightly, Su Xin said that she had a party tonight and would not come back to eat. Could it be that she had changed her mind again?!

With questions in mind, she walked to the door, looked out of the door mirror, and saw the father and son with equally tense expressions.

His heartbeat suddenly became chaotic, and Xi Haitang opened the door in a panic, "You guys..."

Yun Hen's eyes lit up for a moment, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "It turns out that Daddy really didn't lie to me! It's really my aunt's house!"

Xi Haitang was so moved by Yunhen's surprised look that she could no longer utter alienated words and gave way, allowing the father and son to enter together.

Xiaochen poked his head out of the kitchen, "Who is here... Hey, Gu Yunhen?!"

Yun Hen was a little shy, but because they had reconciled at school before, they were very happy to meet under such circumstances. He nodded slightly to Xiao Chen, "Hello."

"Hello, Gu Yunhen, you came just in time. Come and have dinner with us. My mommy just made it. It's delicious!"

Yunhen hesitated, looked back at Gu Xijue, and asked with his eyes if it was okay. Gu Xijue looked helpless and looked at Xi Haitang again.

Of course, Xi Haitang could only say yes, "Yunhen, come and sit down first, and Auntie will help you serve the food."

"Thank you, auntie." The voice was full of emotion.

Xi Haitang smiled knowingly and went into the kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks.

Xiaochen walked up to Yunhen and said with a smile, "Come with me. Mommy has a rule. You must wash your hands before eating!"

"good."

The two children went into the bathroom to wash their hands. Gu Xijue's nerves, which had been tense all night, finally relaxed a little. Yunhen seemed to be fine, at least, he wouldn't be the same person he was before.

Turning around, he walked towards the kitchen and saw Xi Haitang busy. Perhaps because she had only cooked food for two people before, she was worried that it would not be enough, so she started to cook a new one, washing vegetables and cutting meat neatly, and soon made a meal.

There was a pot of hot water boiling on the induction cooker on the other side. She turned down the heat and carefully dropped the noodles into the boiling hot water. Her movements were skillful and there was no impatience on her expression. For the first time, Gu Xijue felt that

It turns out that someone can cook noodles so beautifully, and a strange but warm feeling passed through my heart.

The noodles were tumbling in the water and cooked for about six or seven minutes. Taking advantage of the short period of time, Xi Haitang began to organize the things on the sink, washing the used tools one by one and returning them to their places. He raised his eyes inadvertently,

Just caught his sight.

Unconsciously, her hand trembled, and the tip of her finger was scratched by the blade, causing a cut.

"Ah!" She herself was startled, staring blankly at the fingers where blood was rapidly gushing out.

At this moment, Gu Xijue's tall figure quickly moved closer and suddenly held her injured hand.

"Let me go..." She trembled slightly at his approach.

"Treat the wound first!" Gu Xijue's face didn't look good. He grabbed her hand and put it under the faucet to rinse it, and then put her injured finger into his mouth.

Xi Haitang opened her eyes wide and felt his warm tongue touching her wound. The gentleness he inadvertently revealed seemed to be soothing her, and a strange warmth flowed through her heart.

"I'm fine, it's just a small wound..." She tried to pull her hand away, but he refused to let go.

"Don't move, I'll bandage it for you." He tried to pull her out.

Xi Haitang frowned, and regardless of the pain, she broke free from his grasp, and her heart suddenly felt hot, "Gu Xijue, I let you in because I don't want to look too ugly in front of the child. You'd better be self-aware."

Gu Xijue pursed her lips and looked at her deeply. There were too many things in her eyes, which made her feel confused.

"Mommy, can you eat now?" Xiaochen was a little anxious after washing her hands.

Xi Haitang quickly recovered and replied, "Okay, okay, I'll be fine soon."

After gathering his thoughts, Xi Haitang took out the cooked tomato meat sauce and noodles, but Gu Xijue didn't know where to go. Yun Hen was treated a hundred times better than him, but he was left alone. Did he want to be stupid here?

Stand and watch them eat?!

◎◎◎

Xiaochen and Yunhen sat next to each other, each with a bowl of rice, while Xi Haitang ate noodles cooked later. The food was delicious, but all three of them ate absentmindedly.

Yunhen's expression was particularly complicated. On the one hand, he was very happy to come to his aunt's house for dinner, but neither his aunt nor Xiaochen let his father eat. His father seemed to be ignored and looked a little pitiful.

"Auntie, can you let daddy sit down and eat too?"
