school.

"Uncle Chi! How are you today? Is Qinghe feeling better?"

Song Xulin changed his shoes at the entrance and went straight to the basement.

In the swimming pool, the waves were rolling and many small toys were washed ashore.

Song Xulin squatted down, picked up the yellow plastic duck, and threw it skillfully to the other side.

"Puff-"

The little mermaid under the water reacted immediately, wagging her beautiful tail and swimming quickly towards the little yellow duck.

"It's still the same as before."

Chi Yu closed his computer, leaned back, and rubbed his temples against the back of his chair. The continuous sleepless nights made his voice full of fatigue.

"How was your day at school? Are you tired?"

Upon hearing this, Song Xulin hurriedly stopped teasing the mermaid in the pond.

"Why should I be tired, Uncle Chi? You, on the other hand, should go and get some rest! It's been almost three days. You can't keep going like this. If Chi Qinghe knew, he would definitely scold you to death!"

The young man deliberately pretended to be frowning, which made Chi Yu laugh out loud, and the sadness that was squeezing his chest was immediately relieved a lot.

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving."

Chi Yu supported himself on the handles on both sides of the chair and stood up with some difficulty.

Perhaps he was extremely tired. He stood there for a long time before taking his first step stiffly. As he was walking up the stairs holding the handrail, he seemed to remember something and suddenly stopped.

"Xiao Song."

"What's the matter, Uncle Chi?"

The little mermaid sensed that he was about to leave, so she stopped playing with her toys and lay down by the pool, staring at him longingly and calling him "Daddy Daddy".

Chi Yu turned around and met the little guy's eyes that suddenly lit up. His two little arms were stretched out, and the meaning was very clear -

Want a hug.

Chi Yu forced himself to look away and said, "What do you want to eat for dinner? I'm going out now, and uncle will bring it to you."

"Uncle Chi, didn't we agree to go have a rest? How can you go back on your word halfway!" Song Xulin glared again.

"I'm too hungry. I'll eat first before sleeping." Chi Yu lied without blushing or beating his heart.

"That won't do! It's too dangerous for you to go out alone. You might be driving while fatigued. Let's order takeout, or... I can cook! But the taste, um, isn't very good."

As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and rushed to the kitchen.

Chi Yu stopped him with a smile, "Don't be afraid, I'll let the driver drive, it will probably take an hour. You stay here and watch him until I come back."

Song Xulin looked at Chi Yu, then at the extremely nervous little mermaid behind him, feeling helpless.

"Then be careful on the road."

Chi Yu touched the boy's hair lovingly, with a complex emotion in his eyes, like compromise and sadness.

"I've taken Xiaoqing and Xiaolan away. There are only two of you at home. Be well. If there are any guests, please invite them in for a cup of tea."

Song Xulin nodded readily in agreement.

Just as he was thinking about what kind of tea to make for guests if they came, the doorbell rang.

When he opened the door and met the familiar peach blossom eyes, Song Xulin automatically thought of "green tea" in his mind, and his mouth spoke faster than his brain.

"Longjing or Taiping Houkui?"

Gong Huasui was stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly and smiled, "Aside from green tea, are there any other options?"

"Uh……"

Song Xulin scratched his head awkwardly and changed the subject hesitantly.

"Why don't you come in and sit down first? It's really cold outside."

Gong Huasui's expression suddenly became tense. "Uncle Chi, aren't you home?"

"He just went out and will be back in about an hour. What do you want to see him about?"

Gong Huasui breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, and followed Song Xulin to the living room, stepping slowly.

"I'm here to give Qinghe his homework. Well, today's content is quite interesting. I thought he would be interested, so I made some notes for him... Is he upstairs? Can I go find him?"

Song Xulin's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly wanted to slap himself for opening the door!

Reckless.

Cookie came here specifically, what else could he be doing here?

Isn't it obvious that you are looking for Chi Qinghe?

But how can Chi Qinghe face people in this state now!

Just when he was thinking of how to shirk responsibility, a soft cry suddenly came from the air, and he could vaguely hear intermittent "Daddy".

Damn!

Forgot to gag!

For some reason, this little Chi Qinghe is particularly attached to Uncle Chi. He will cry if he is not around.

But he is also very well behaved. When Uncle Chi leaves, he doesn't cry to ask him to stay. If he really can't help crying, he will immediately become happy if Uncle Chi gives him a hug.

Anyway, he is so well-behaved that it makes people feel distressed.

When he was this old, if he wasn't rewarded with stir-fried bamboo shoots every day, his father would have burned incense and told the ancestors that he was a teachable boy...

"The sound seemed to come from downstairs."

Gong Huasui followed the sound and quickly walked towards the basement level. Song Xulin quickly stretched out his arm to stop him and shouted, "You heard wrong!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crying stopped. Song Xulin quickly praised the little mermaid for her intelligence in his heart, then put his arm around Gong Huasui's shoulders and led her to the sofa in the living room.

"I think you're just too nervous and hallucinating. How could there be crying sounds? It's scary."

Gong Huasui was pressed onto the sofa, his face calm, and it seemed that he had listened attentively. Song Xulin worked harder to divert his attention.

"What kind of tea would you like? Or juice? Coffee? We also have milk tea."

"Cafe."

"Okay, then you sit down and don't run around. I'll be back soon!"

"Ah."

After receiving the response, Song Xulin felt relieved and went to look for coffee beans.

Weigh the beans, put them into the hand-cranked grinder, and shake them out while turning.

"Cookie, I'm dedicating my first cup of hand-ground coffee to you. What an honor... Damn! I knew it! Don't run!"

Seeing Gong Huasui at the stairs, Song Xulin yelled angrily, and without even grinding the beans, he took three consecutive leaps and slid into the living room.

Gong Huasui was not to be outdone. He accelerated suddenly and limped downstairs!

In order to avoid being caught by Song Xulin, he even refused to walk up the stairs. Instead, he supported himself with his arms on the handrail, exerted his muscles, and used his long legs to easily climb to the basement.

"Boom-"

When his foot hit the ground, the unhealed bones and the wound made a heart-wrenching sound of dislocation, as if countless needles were piercing his flesh. Gong Huasui couldn't help but groan.

But he didn't dare stop for a moment and ran forward panting.

"Stop! Stop now! Don't run. Your legs are so lame, and you still..."

Song Xulin hurriedly caught up and saw Gong Huasui standing by the swimming pool, staring into the eyes of the little mermaid. He shut his mouth consciously.

After a long time, Gong Huasui spoke the first words.

"Where is Qinghe?"

Song Xulin was very surprised. He waved his hands in front of Gong Huasui and muttered.

"I'm not blind."

"He's not Qinghe."

A shadow covered Gong Huasui's beautiful peach blossom eyes. He pinched Song Xulin's shoulders and said fiercely, "You lied to me! Qinghe was upstairs and he fell asleep, so he didn't turn on the lights, so he couldn't see me, so he didn't come to find me, right!"

"You...what are you talking about?"

Song Xulin tried his best to explain.

"I know this is hard to accept, but since it's happened, let's relax. I swear, this little mermaid is Chi Qinghe. Three days ago, the night he took leave, I saw him jump into the pool and change. He definitely didn't change! Besides, look at this face that has been shrunk to a ratio of one to one. Who else could it be but Chi Qinghe?"

"Three days ago... three days..."

Gong Huasui recalled Chi Qinghe's strange behavior of avoiding him that day on the helicopter, and his mind froze instantly.

As if he had thought of something, his face suddenly lost all color, he staggered back, saying "impossible" while his eyes were red, and he looked like he was on the verge of collapse.

Song Xulin grabbed him and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you? Isn't Chi Qinghe here?"

"He's not Qinghe, not my Qinghe... Where did he go? Did you hide him? I want to find him!"

Gong Huasui stepped back step by step, then turned around and ran upstairs.

Song Xulin didn't chase after her this time. He took the bath towel and waved to the little mermaid by the pool.

"Be good, brother will take you up there to play."
