——Four years later——

"Ali, what kind of rice dumplings do you want to eat for the Dragon Boat Festival tomorrow? Sweet or salty?"

"I'm telling you, I've learned the essence of my mother-in-law, and I'll show you my skills when the time comes."

In the airport lobby, Shen Li walked steadily. When he heard the tone of Xie Xiaoqin's voice on the other end of the phone, he could already imagine her dancing with joy.

"I have to taste the cooking of our top agent, no matter whether it's salty or sweet."

"Hahaha, just look at me. I just called He Yu. He will be here soon. Be careful on the road."

"I know, hang up now."

As soon as she hung up the phone, the little person she was holding let go of her hand and ran out happily with his short legs.

"Xiaobao, don't run around!"

Don't be fooled by its short legs, it can run very far when it is happy.

Shen Li was startled and chased after him quickly. The cartoon water bottle on her wrist was swaying and really affected her pace.

With a "bang", the running little meat ball bumped into a tall figure in front of it.

The man reached out and supported the little ball of flesh, which was not even as long as his legs, as it almost fell.

Shen Li ran over breathlessly, squatted down and carefully checked Xiaobao who was standing there obediently.

"Is everything okay?"

Seeing that Xiaobao was fine, Shen Li stood up and apologized to the person he bumped into.

"I'm sorry, sir, little kid..."

Shen Li was halfway through his apology when he froze in place, staring at the person in front of him.

Gu Jingcheng wore a simple black shirt with his sleeves rolled up, revealing his muscular arms. The top two buttons on his chest were open, looking lazy and casual.

He stood quietly, looking into Shen Li's eyes, and neither of them spoke.

After not seeing him for four years, he looked more mature and steady, and the aura around him was also colder, much colder than the first time Shen Li met him.

Memories came flooding back, and the heart that had been silent for so long seemed to beat again.

The cell phone in Shen Li's hand started to vibrate at this time, but Shen Li didn't notice it.

Xiaobao on the side tilted his head back and forth and looked between the two of them. This uncle is so weird. He kept staring at the person opposite him.

Shen Li's fingers kept tightening as he held the phone tightly.

The height of the phone was just right for him to hear. Xiaobao saw the two words flashing on the screen and he recognized them.

So he excitedly stretched out his chubby little hand to pick it up. He leaned over and said in a soft and tender little voice: "Dad, we got off the plane, are you here?"

After hearing Xiaobao's "Dad", Gu Jingcheng lowered his eyes and looked at the little meat ball who was excitedly answering the phone. His eyes were deep and his gaze stayed on the pink little face, and his brows were furrowed.

Xiao Bao spoke a few more words to the person on the other end of the phone before hanging up. He looked up and blinked, and found that the handsome uncle he bumped into was staring at him. He looked a little fierce, so he reached out and held Shen Li's hand.

Shen Li regained some of his rationality at this time, pulled Xiao Bao's arm, and said softly: "Xiao Bao, you hit someone, you have to apologize, understand?"

Xiaobao nodded obediently and looked up at Gu Jingcheng: "I'm sorry, uncle."

As he said that, he took out a handful of chocolate from his pocket and put it in front of Gu Jingcheng, "Xiaobao, I'm treating you to chocolate. Please don't be angry, okay?"

The two pearls filled up the chubby little hands, with half of them leaking out between the fingers.

Gu Jingcheng's brows furrowed even tighter, his eyes looking at the small hand that seemed to be stretched out towards him. Just as he was about to reach out, a crisp voice from behind interrupted him.

"Ah Cheng."

Several people looked towards the source of the sound. Liang Jinsi was wearing a smart and elegant white suit, with delicate makeup on, and smiling generously.

"So you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time."

Liang Jinsi said this, and put her arm around his arm in a familiar manner, looking very intimate.

Gu Jingcheng frowned unhappily and turned around again. Shen Li had already walked away with Xiaobao in her arms and had walked some distance away.

Xiao Bao put his arms around Shen Li's neck and pointed at the huge zongzi doll beside him, "Look, godmother, it's such a big zongzi, shall we buy one and take it back?"

He ran over out of curiosity just because he saw the zongzi.

Shen Li smiled and said to him, "But this zongzi has a father and a mother. If we buy it back, it won't be able to be with its own parents. How pitiful."

His face wrinkled up, and he thought for a moment, struggling for a long time before he said, "Well~~ Xiaobao can't be separated from his parents, and we don't want Zongzixia to be separated from his parents. Xiaobao won't buy it."

Zongzi Man?

Three-year-old children are always easy to coax. Shen Li was amused and gave him a kiss on his chubby face.

"Xiaobao is so good."

"Godmother, can we ask Zongzixia and Xiaobao to take a picture and show it to mom and dad?"

Shen Li agreed without hesitation and carried him over.

On the way to the parking lot with Xiaobao, the little guy started talking about the handsome uncle he had just bumped into.

"Godmother, that uncle's legs were so long, even longer than Uncle Qin's."

As Shen Li walked, the familiar face appeared in his mind again, and he said "hmm" lightly.

Xiaobao added: "But Xiaobao still likes Uncle Tan."

Shen Li asked curiously: "Why?"

"Because Uncle Qin is always smiling, and that uncle looks like he would eat children."

Shen Li suddenly laughed and rubbed his little head, "Then children like Xiaobao are the most tender and delicious."

"Ah! No no no~~ You can't eat Xiaobao."

Shen Li lowered her head and smiled, holding his hand and continuing to walk forward.

Watching the two figures, one big and one small, gradually disappear from his sight, Gu Jingcheng frowned and pulled his hand back impatiently.

Liang Jinsi also saw Shen Li and asked knowingly: "That seems to be Shen Li, the child is so big now!"

Gu Jingcheng didn't say anything, as if he didn't hear it.

She didn't want to make herself look boring, she lowered her head and smiled, and returned to the topic: "Let's go, I just saw that Song Zhou and his plane have landed, and it's time for them to come out."

Gu Jingcheng then nodded indifferently and said "hmm".

The moment he received the person, Gu Jingcheng still had that expressionless look on his face, even colder than usual.

When Song Zhou saw him for the first time, he rushed over excitedly, "Brother, I miss you so much~"

Before he could get close, Gu Jingcheng had already stretched out his hand to stop him from getting close, "You are such a grown-up, but you are still so dishonest."

Song Zhou was still as lively as ever, talking loudly, and when he returned to China, he had been begging in the group for someone to pick him up long ago, in order to show his special position in the hearts of many brothers.

Everyone else had their own reasons, but Gu Jingcheng, a lonely bachelor, was so annoyed by him that he came out of desperation. Unexpectedly, he saw her at the airport.

Gu Jingcheng threw the car keys to Song Zhou and said, "Go back and drive!"

"I've been on a plane for more than ten hours and I'm exhausted. Brother Cheng, you are so inhumane."

Gu Jingcheng reached out and took the box in his hand, then walked away without looking back.

On the way back, he placed his hands on his knees, clasping them lightly from time to time, as if thinking about something, his mind already wandering far away.

For four years, he had no news of her, as if he had disappeared out of thin air, and now he appeared in front of her without any warning.

The deep eyes narrowed, she is back!
