Through the book: The villain’s son’s stand-in

The four of them went back to their respective homes and had a dreamless night.

They spent so much energy last night that none of the four of them got up until noon.

"Ding dong!"

Lu Li's optical brain suddenly emitted a special notification sound, disturbing her clear dream.

She slowly raised her hand, opened her hazy eyes a little, and checked the automatically playing video.

"Chengcheng, look here!"

Gu Pan's whirring voice was heard at the beginning of the video. Lu Li suddenly woke up, sat up and played the video holographically.

The blue light suddenly filled the field of vision, not even missing the blind spots in the peripheral vision.

Lu Li concentrated on watching.

The scene in the video takes place in a place that looks like an auditorium.

The shot is from bottom to top, and it should have been taken by Gu Pan in the auditorium.

On the arc-shaped podium, stood a childish young man. He stood upright, wearing a pair of optical glasses, and was presiding over the "admission to higher education" ceremony according to the procedure.

"Dear principal, teachers, parents and students, welcome everyone to attend the 59th Baijia Kindergarten Admission Ceremony..."

His tone was ups and downs, so that the atmosphere at the scene did not cool down due to the lengthy introduction.

The leaders' speeches and the students' speeches were specially accelerated. Lu Li didn't feel bored watching the people on the screen opening and closing their mouths rapidly, with their expressions changing every second.

The video quickly reached 10 minutes and 27 seconds, and the highlight of the day finally came.

The red curtain rose slowly with applause. When the red faded, fifteen small children with neat steps walked out. They were both male and female, but they were all wearing the uniforms of Baijia Kindergarten.

However, the color of their uniforms has become much darker, and there is no longer a wave-like white border on the edge. Instead, it is lightly traced with white lines.

This is the school uniform of Zhonghai Class.

Wearing this outfit officially declares that they have become a glorious primary school student.

The presiding boy introduced their names one by one, and invited the principal of Asami Campus to give them badges belonging to Nakami Class.

It's like an inherited handover ceremony, with a beginning and an end.

The principal is a kind-hearted middle-aged man. Even though he is about to enter his old age, he is still full of energy.

Every time a student's name is read, that student will take a step forward.

The principal gently stroked their little heads and gave them good wishes in detail before attaching the blue badges with little waves to specific positions on their chests.

The badges and clothes are both specially made and will automatically stick to each other once they are not far apart.

But the principal still cautiously used a little strength to ensure that it would not fall off easily.

Gu Cheng was the tallest among the group, so it wasn't his turn until everyone took a step back.

At this time, Gu Pan's hand speed was simply maxed out. One shot was not enough. The images of four pen-shot balls were transformed into four small windows, showing Gu's 360° perspective on the screen.

This is specifically allowed by the school, but it can only be filmed during their own children's sessions, otherwise they will be fined.

Parents are not afraid of fines, but they are afraid of trouble later.

After all, my children still want to study here, so I can't mess around.

Occasionally the video would freeze for a moment, and Lu Li thought about it for a moment and realized that it was Gu Pan taking the photo.

"He is really a petting maniac, and he never misses photos of every stage."

Lu Li leaned on the bedside and recalled the day three years ago.

Gu Pan sent Gu Cheng to Ocean Manor to study as agreed, but encountered a speedster gang on the way.

Not only was the car hit, but all the jewelry and bags were taken away, and even the optical brain bracelet was not spared.

That was the biggest crisis Gu Pan had ever encountered.

Fortunately, the group only wanted money, not life. Gu Cheng sent them a distress message before the bracelets were taken away, so the mother and son were not abandoned in the wilderness.

Within a day, he was caught.

All the stolen goods were also confiscated.

But Gu Pan didn't even look at those valuable items and threw them directly at the optical brain.

After unlocking it, I looked through the folders nervously and eagerly, as if a dragon was sorting out the treasures it had collected for many years.

Her concern attracted the attention of four people, and they even thought that there might be a secret to Gu Pan's change.

Just when a few people were about to make insinuations or use some private means, Gu Pan breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I didn't lose it, otherwise I would regret it for the rest of my life."

As soon as these words came out, the four of them became even more curious.

So they sent Lu Li, who had the best relationship with Gu Pan, to go out and find out the news.

Lu Li just asked what it was, and Gu Pan generously turned off the privacy screen mode and shared her treasures happily.

The folder started recording the first day I arrived at Blue Star. Every photo or video was carefully noted with the time and theme.

She followed Gu Pan's explanation, step by step from the bowl of porridge every morning, to the sunrise at the beach, a walk in the garden, An Ran taking a nap, then to her yoga exercises, useless but noisy prenatal training, and finally accompanied by the stars Yue and her bedtime story fell into sleep.

Lu Li relaxed her body unconsciously, and the purpose of completing the task in her heart was hidden in the interesting past belonging to the mother and son.

"Look at this photo, Chengcheng turned over. I also have a video." When Gu Pan said this, his beautiful eyes were filled with light, as if he had discovered a rare treasure.

"However, Chengcheng cried so loudly that day that his face was swollen from crying. It was so pitiful." She said with emotion.

Lu Li also nodded in agreement, but the next second she heard her say with a hint of regret: "...It's a pity that I forgot to poke it, it must be very soft."

Lu Li: She is indeed her biological mother.

After that day, Lu Li had no doubts about Gu Pan, and expressed her deep guilt for the inseparable relationship for the past three years.

When she told the other three people about the news, they were silent for a long time.

Even Mr. Bai said that he had made a mistake and thought of Gu Cheng's clever performance.

A big smile formed on his gradually aging face. He smiled heartily, but his eyes became more and more intense.

"We have a successor."

The memory came to an abrupt end. Lu Li's eyes were like clear springs, staring at Gu Cheng who was receiving the medal from the principal in the video, and the corner of his mouth curled up:

"Little guy, grow up quickly. We will pave the way for you, but it's up to you how you want to go."

Gu Cheng took a step back, and the host finally thanked the principal for his hard work. The promotion ceremony was about to come to an end.

"mom!"

Gu Pan heard a familiar voice, and when the camera turned, she caught Gu Cheng trotting towards her from the front of the row.

He still looked like a cool guy, but when his eyes came into contact with Gu Pan, there was an inexplicable warmth, like an iceberg suddenly melting, moist and shiny.

Lu Li has seen many aspects of Gu Cheng, including his humility that was praised when he drew inferences from one instance, his respect for them, his desire and persistence for knowledge, and his expressionless indifference when he was reading seriously...

But he performed all these just right, less natural and more deliberate.

Not as vivid and natural as when facing Gu Pan.

Perhaps the child was aware of the relationship between them when he was first teaching.

They are not a normal master-disciple relationship, but a community of interests.

They both wanted something from each other, but Gu Pan had always only had selfless love for Gu Cheng.

The last segment of the video was filled with Gu Pan's concerned thoughts and Gu Cheng's occasional responses.

Lu Li even heard their names in the video.

The freeze frame of the video is a photo of the two of them at the gate of Asami Campus.

The second the screen went black, a line of words appeared on the video.

"I wish you a smooth journey, peace and joy~"

Lu Li looked at the wave symbol, and her eyes as bright as a mirror seemed to be stained by the midsummer sunshine.
