Usually Gu Qingxu should have gotten up at this point, because he talked a lot with his son last night and thought a lot when he went back to his room, which caused him to wake up late this morning.

Coincidentally, when she went downstairs, Shen Qi was also going downstairs, neither of them took the elevator, so they met at the corner of the stairs.

"Morning, aunt." No matter how anxious Shen Qi was, he would slow down and greet Gu Jing's mother when he saw Gu Jing's mother, "Are you planning to go out?"

"The courier called and asked me to pick up a package." Gu Qingxu slowed down his pace, and asked him intentionally or unintentionally, "Last night...did you drink the hangover tea, did you sleep well, do you have a headache today?"

Shen Qi replied eloquently: "Thank you for the hangover tea you made for me. I drank all of it and slept very well. I don't have a headache at all today."

Gu Qingxu felt that he seemed a little too excited, so he couldn't help turning his head to look at him.

"Really, thank you very much." Shen Qi thought she didn't believe it.

Going downstairs to the entrance, Gu Qingxu took the shoes from the shoe cabinet: "It's just a small matter, you're welcome."

"Then I'll go back first." Shen Qi pushed open the door and said, "I haven't come home all night, my mother is waiting to clean me up."

Gu Qingxu couldn't understand that the child still looked happy knowing that he was going to be punished.

The place where the parcel was stored was far away from home, so Gu Qingxu drove there and took Shen Qi home on the way.

After a while, she found that the child was really excited today, and his mouth was sweeter than ever.

Could it be last night...

After receiving the package and going home, Gu Qingxu was still full of suspicion. He came up from the garage, looked at the delivery slip in his hand as he walked, and forgot about other things after looking at it.

"Okay, why did you come back again..."

"What returned?" Gu Jing just came out of the room after washing, and heard her muttering.

"A birthday present," Gu Qingxu handed him the delivery slip, "I sent it in advance, but today I suddenly received a call from the courier, saying that no one signed for it, so I returned it to me."

Gu Jing glanced at the address, it was sent to Hong Kong, and the recipient was Yao Baotong.

He knew this person, this person was an alumnus of his parents at the University of Hong Kong, and even his mother's classmate and roommate.

"Maybe..." Gu Jing really couldn't think of why no one signed for the address that was sent every year, "Could it be that Aunt Yao moved?"

"I'm not sure about that." Gu Qingxu shook his head.

Among the few roommates back then, Yao Baotong and she were law majors. They spent more time together and chatted better. After graduation, the other roommates didn't get in touch very much. She and Yao Baotong still had frequent social contacts.

Later, for some reason, Yao Baotong didn't seem to like chatting with her anymore, and it was very rare to receive a reply after sending a text message, and gradually became alienated.

Gu Qingxu thought that she had provoked suspicion, but she still received a birthday gift the next year, so she followed suit, and it continued until this year.

But why was this gift returned this year?

Gu Qingxu couldn't figure it out, so she wanted to send a message to ask, but as expected, no one responded after sending it for a long time, so she clicked on Moments again.

"It hasn't been updated here for a long time." Gu Jing sat next to Gu Qingxu. He just saw that the last time they chatted was last year's New Year greetings.

"Yes." Gu Qingxu sighed, and continued to swipe down the content of the past circle of friends.

Gu Qingxu paused for more than ten seconds every time he flipped through an article, as if he wanted to find clues from these contents.Gu Jing accompanied her to watch, Aunt Yao basically posted fragments of life, such as flowers, grass, lakes, and...

"Mom, wait a minute." Gu Jing pressed Gu Qingxu's hand.

"what happened?"

"This man," Gu Jing saw a picture of a boy, "I seem to have seen him in school."

"How is it possible?" Gu Qingxu said, "This is her son, who has been living in Hong Kong, how could he go to your school?"

When she said this, Gu Jing suddenly became uncertain.

But the way this boy smiled, and the dimples exposed when he smiled, are really familiar.

"Forget it, I don't want to." Gu Qingxu put away his phone, and suddenly, he cupped his son's face and kissed him, "Mom, can I ask you a question?"

"Well," Gu Jing was a little dazed by that kiss, "you ask."

She just remembered the curiosity at the beginning, so she said in a disguised way: "Apart from me and Dad, has anyone else kissed you like this before?"

Gu Jing suddenly understood, touched the kissed forehead, kissed the forehead...that means nothing.

He shook his head.

Gu Qingxu didn't believe it: "Shen Qi..."

"He doesn't know that I like him." Gu Jing said, "Mom, I just told you, don't tell him yet, okay?"

Gu Qingxu wondered: "Why?"

"I'm afraid he doesn't like me." Gu Jing was very conflicted in his heart, and what he said was even more contradictory, "Maybe he likes me, otherwise he wouldn't be so kind to me, but he is also very kind to other friends, I don't know if they will also..."

"Okay, okay, mom promises to keep it a secret for you." Gu Qingxu interrupted his conflict, and when he heard him say the word "friend", she seemed to understand his contradiction a little bit, and she gently stroked Gu Jing's hair, " Mom believes that you will handle it well, but if you encounter any problems, you must tell mom as soon as possible, can it be done?"

Gu Jing nodded and reached out to hug her: "Thank you, Mom."

"By the way, there is one more thing." Gu Qingxu said, "Mother will be on a business trip the day after tomorrow, and father will also be away on business."

Gu Jing let go of her: "Aunt Fang and Uncle Wang are at home, so you don't have to worry about me."

"It's a pity that mom can't go to your school opening ceremony." This year, the first middle school started very early, and Gu Qingxu didn't catch up with the plan. She sighed and touched Gu Jing's face, "I'm sorry baby, next time mom must leave enough time for you .”

"It's really okay." Gu Jing shook his head and said, "In fact, not many parents will come to the opening ceremony of each semester, and they can only stand when they come, which is very tiring."

"But I heard that Shen Qi's mother will go." Gu Qingxu thought for a while, then took out his mobile phone, "Yes, I will ask her to help record the process, and watch it when I come back from a business trip."

Gu Jing wanted to stop it before it was too late, Gu Qingxu was quick, and after a few seconds of dialing, the other side picked up the call.

"Video? Okay."

"You really reminded me that it's rare to have time to attend the opening ceremony of my son's school. It would be a shame not to leave some souvenirs."

"Use a camera to record? No need, just use a mobile phone to take pictures."

"Oh, I really forgot, your family, Gu Jing, is the grade representative and is going to give a speech."

"A camera is just a camera. It can record clearly and shoot steadily. But no one in our family likes photography, so we don't collect this."

When Qin Shiai was on the phone, Shen Qi was very anxious at the side, performing silently, walking up and down, she was dazzled, pointed at him and said: "Shen Qi, calm down, don't knock over the flowers on the shelf. "

Gu Qingxu heard the movement and asked, "Sister Qin, are you busy?"

"I'm not busy, I'm gardening flowers and plants. I'm very free." Qin Shi'ai continued to talk on the phone, "You have a camera at home, right? Then I'll go to your house to get it in the afternoon. By the way, let's talk about your business trip."

"What are you talking about my business trip? Isn't it just talking about purchasing for you?" Gu Qing smiled, "Okay, this time I'll go to Hong Kong, see what you are missing, remember everything, don't follow up again It’s the same, I’m all at the airport and ask me to turn back.”

"It will definitely not happen this time." Qin Shi'ai promised, "I will talk about it in detail when I go to your house in the afternoon, and I will remember to bring you a bag. The two sent by my sister-in-law are of the same style, but the color is different." Same, I’ll give you a choice first, I’m quite interested.”

After hanging up the phone, she turned around and looked at Shen Qi. The boy pissed her off with a complaining look on his face: "I don't blame you for not coming home at night. When I got home in the morning, I robbed me of a pot of jasmine without saying a word. Now it's time to return." With this expression, who is whose son?"

"Mom, why are you bothering me so much?" He wanted to say it from the camera. If there is no one at home, he can't say it in front of Gu Jing's mother. Don't make people think that she is an excuse for not wanting to help. Shen Qi endured it and took it. Talking about business trips, "Aunt Gu is on a business trip. How about you, you always trouble her to bring things with you, so how much money can you save? Does our family lack this?"

"Who said I was doing it to save money? I was—" Qin Shi'ai paused for a moment, "Hey wait, are you teaching me a lesson now? Is it up to you to care about my relationship with my friends? I'm always on the phone Now, what is your plan?"

"I..." Shen Qi was caught in the middle of his mind, and racked his brains to round up, "I'm sorry, Mom, I was out of control. I just think that no matter how good the relationship is, I can't bother him so much, let alone you and Gu Auntie is also involved in work, if she feels that you are using your identity as Boss Qin to order her, it will definitely be harmful to your friendship. "

What Shen Qi said was reasonable, Qin Shiai thought about it seriously, she and Gu Qingxu are people with the same temperament, it is true that they get along well, but there are indeed some bad words in the company.

"I'll pay more attention next time." She complained inadvertently, "You say this... outsiders are fine, the worst thing is family members. I have been married to your father for many years, and some people still use it behind their backs." A person with a foreign surname 'calls me', and now he even talks about making friends, saying that I win over cronies, and that others are clinging to me, it's really annoying."

"Don't be angry. In the future, I will help you tidy up those people."

"Mom is most assured of you. You are much better than your father. He has been soft-hearted all his life. He dare not even show a cold face when his uncles say something."

Shen Qi hugged her gently, smiled after letting go, and said: "If you can relax some discipline on me in the future, I will definitely make you feel more at ease."

Qin Shiai laughed, raised her hand and slapped him on the shoulder: "Is it okay to relax the discipline? Look at what you did a while ago?"

Shen Qi rubbed the place that was hit by her and said, "I was really good a while ago."

"Well, it's good." Qin Shiai teased, "Drinking is called good? Playing with cars is called good? Is it also good to hang out at night?"

Shen Qi refused to accept it and said: "You still talk about me, Jiang Yu is more aggressive than me, and you still cherish him so much."

As soon as Jiang Yu was mentioned, Qin Shiai changed her words: "What do you compare with your younger brother? He is young and uncertain, and he will change if he is honest. Besides, Xiao Yu's child used to be so miserable. He was sick since he was a child, but now he is in good health. Now is the time to love to play."

"Well, young." Shen Qi teased her, "Small when born at the same age as me? Younger than me by seven months? Smaller than me?"

"You child..." Qin Shi'ai made a gesture to hit him again, raised her arm and did not strike, smiled, "Don't say this in front of Xiaoyu, it will take a while to discipline him, first stabilize him Stop it, don't make a fuss about going back to the United States, we have nothing to say to your sister-in-law and uncle."

Shen Qi nodded: "Understood, he will come back tomorrow, no, I'll pick him up at the airport in the afternoon, and I'll tie him up with a chain as soon as I get there, so that he can't run anywhere."

"You are capable if you can tie him up." Qin Shi'ai picked up the scissors for pruning flowers on the table, shook her head and sighed softly, "Just do what you want, don't always put your mind on others, and think more about it." Myself, as long as you don't play too crazy and too much, mom will try to take care of you as little as possible in the future, and when you grow up, you can make your own decisions."

After finishing speaking, she looked back at Shen Qi with pride in her eyes: "No, my son has grown up a long time ago, and he is more reliable than anyone else."

Shen Qi deliberately said: "Compared to Dad?"

"Of course it is..."

"Just kidding, I'll go back to my room and change my clothes. I have things to do later." Shen Qi smiled and pushed the door of the flower room. After walking for a while, he turned around and waved at Qin Shiai waved.

Qin Shi'ai laughed softly, thinking that what Gu Qingxu said was indeed true, adolescent children laughed and cried at times.

Obviously, he was not very interested a while ago, but now he seems to have won the first prize again. Although he has lost a little more stability than before, this is the best, so that he looks like a 17-year-old boy.
