Delayed confession

The sky was dyed blood red by the setting sun. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the dense pine needles, forming thick and thin beams of light, illuminating the woods where a thin gauze-like mist was floating.

White-collar workers who just got off work quickly rushed into the food court to buy a fast food meal, and then hurried back to the company to work overtime.

"Hi, I want a chicken burger, a serving of fries, and a hot corn drink."

The waiter was so busy that he didn't even raise his head and asked,

“Take it out or eat here?”

Xu Weixi thought for a moment and replied, "Eat here."

"Here is your ticket. Please wait a moment."

-

In a brand new black BMW on the street, a pretty little boy with curly hair opened his big eyes and looked at the man next to him and asked weakly,

"Godfather, what are we waiting for? The worms in Ranran's stomach are almost starving to death."

Gu Mochuan retracted his gaze, put his hands on the child's shoulders, and said seriously, "Little boy, we agreed that you should call me daddy outside."

"But you are not the father, you are Ranran's godfather. The teacher said that children who lie are not good children."

"Well, I'm not lying. Godfather and dad mean the same thing. I just want you to call them differently."

Gu Mochuan was stunned, and took out the toys he had prepared long ago.

"If you agree, besides this being yours, I'll also take you to KFC, how about that?"

The little boy's round eyes turned back and forth, and he nodded.

"make a deal."

Xu Weixi was holding a plate and preparing to find a seat when a child suddenly hugged her thigh.

"Dad, I want to eat this."

Xu Weixi looked down at the delicate little boy with a gentle face, looked up but didn't see his parents. When she was about to hand the child to the waiter,

"Go buy whatever you want to eat yourself, don't hug others."

Xu Weixi stared at the man in front of her in amazement.

——Gu Mochuan’s son?

After the last blind date, Xu Weixi felt that he might have thought too much before. After all, some of his behaviors during his student days were just the result of puberty and could not be counted.

Adults should be more reasonable.

An Xingran hugged Xu Weixi's thighs and shook them non-stop, "Dad, go buy it for me. I want to eat the same thing as this beautiful sister."

If it was someone else, Xu Weixi might have asked the waiter to take care of it, but after all, the other party was a high school classmate, and if he refused rashly, it might give people a chance to talk nonsense.

"Here's my list. We'll wait for you over there."

Xu Weixi put on her signature smile and politely handed the things to Gu Mochuan. Then she led the little boy to a seat near the window.

"What's your name?"

The little boy answered in a baby voice, "My name is Ranran. What's yours?"

Xu Weixi put the things aside and placed them in front of the little boy.

"My name is Xu Weixi, which one do you want to eat?"

"My mom said I can't eat other people's food."

"..."

Xu Weixi looked at the child of the Ancient Detective in a petrified manner, thinking to himself, "Didn't you hug my thigh just now?"

An Ran picked up the French fries playfully and said seriously, "But you are not someone else, you are a beautiful sister."

"Sister, do you know my father?"

Xu Weixi took a sip of the corn drink and pursed her lips, "We were high school classmates."

"So do you have a boyfriend?"

"No."

Seeing the kid opposite with an expression that said, "I know it," Xu Weixi subconsciously touched his face, "Don't you have a partner now? Are you just hanging around?"

An Ran looked at the ordering direction and hooked her finger at Xu Weixi, "I'll tell you a secret."

Xu Weixi leaned forward and raised his hand seriously, saying, "I promise, I will keep it a secret for you."

"That man is not my father?"

In the face of Xu Weixi's surprised expression, he slowly explained,

"He is my godfather."

"He lied to me and said dad and godfather mean the same thing. How can they be the same? I'm not a three-year-old child."

Xu Weixi's mood fluctuated greatly. She had thought of child trafficking and calling the police, but she didn't expect such a reversal. "Are children nowadays so smart?"

"Do you know why my godfather did this?"

Xu Weixi shook her head and saw the man standing there paying out of the corner of her eye.

A white shirt-collar T-shirt and blue jeans, a simple outfit, but it makes him look like a showman, handsome and tall.

Some of the girls around have already taken out their cell phones to take pictures.

She realized belatedly that Gu Mochuan and the child in front of him were wearing parent-child outfits.

"I didn't know at first, but when I saw you, I knew."

Xu Weixi asked absentmindedly, "Know what?"

"He was afraid that his classmates would laugh at him. He was almost 30 and still didn't have a girlfriend."

"Cough cough."

Xu Weixi looked at the child who looked like a little adult and wanted to tease him.

"So do you have a girlfriend?"

"Of course, Xiaodi and Xiaomei in our class both like me."

"Then who do you like?"

"I like Yang Lele. But she likes Wang Hao."

...

Under everyone's heated gazes, Gu Mochuan walked over to sit opposite Xu Weixi, "Little ghost, what are you talking about?"

An Ran pushed a plate of fries in front of Xu Weixi, turned around and asked for credit,

"Dad, my beautiful sister also has a child. We can make an appointment to play together next time."

"Sister? Little boy, you should call her auntie. She is dad's classmate." Gu Mochuan glanced at Xu Weixi and said with a smile.

Perhaps because she had no other thoughts, Xu Weixi's words returned to her previous sharpness, and she replied calmly, "Maybe I'm younger and prettier. After all, children don't lie."

"..."

Seeing Xu Weixi packing the remaining food, An Ran thought of the last task and said loudly,

"Dad, let's send our beautiful sister home."

"No need, sister has to go back to work overtime." Xu Weixi touched his little face and explained with a smile, then she ignored Gu Mochuan's presence and walked out.

An Ran leaned against the glass window and looked back pitifully, "Godfather, do you still have my Ultraman model?"

Gu Mochuan looked at the energetic girl and felt that she should have gotten over her last failed marriage.

I will be more motivated to pursue my wife in the future.

Xu Weixi was walking on the street, and when he thought of his childish behavior just now, he couldn't help but smile.

Joey: [Xibao, I'm going crazy.]

I felt the phone vibrating in my hand. Just as I was about to reply to the message, Joey called me first.

"That old woman, that old witch, she asked me to sew buttons. She said there was something wrong with my technique and my needlework. I learned that from a master, okay..."

ten minutes later,

Xu Weixi moved the phone slightly away from his ear, listened to Joey's complaints, looked at the time, thought it was about time, and changed the subject.

"I went to a blind date a few days ago."

Joey just wanted to vent, and was about to ask where his friend was, but he heard a more explosive topic.

"Ah, you went on a blind date?"

Xu Weixi replied with a smile,

"Yeah, it was quite interesting. We also met our old classmates."
