Father is expensive

chapter039 Left-behind children

At five o'clock in the morning, when Gu Xingzhou went out for a morning run, he found that the light in the kitchen was on.

Su Bai has long hair loose and is still wearing pure white pajamas, cooking a pot of milk fragrance.There was no expression on his face, his usual gentle temperament became condensed, revealing a faint loneliness.

Gu Xingzhou walked to the dining table, the light from the aisle was blocked by him, casting a thin shadow in front of Su Bai.

Su Bai stopped stirring the milk pot, looked up, a little surprised: "Morning, Captain Gu, are you going out?"

Gu Xingzhou looked at Su Bai's expression, his heart tightened for no reason, and instead of answering Su Bai's question, he asked instead: "Did you not sleep well last night? Are you not used to the newly decorated room?"

Su Bai was startled, touched his cheek, and then smiled: "No, it's just a nightmare - I'm making double skin milk, the recipe I saw on the phone, what do you want for breakfast? I'll tell you soon Do."

Seeing that Su Bai didn't want to say more, Gu Xingzhou paused for a while, and didn't ask any more questions.

"Just cook some porridge. I'll go for a morning jog, and I'll go to the town below. When I come back, I'll buy some side dishes for breakfast."

Su Bai also had no objection: "Okay."

Gu Xingzhou turned around and went out, and turned around when he reached the entrance, "You can make porridge with an automatic cooking machine, you can go to rest for a while."

After speaking, he went out.

The door closed with a "click", and the movements of Su Bai's hands stopped again.

For a long time, he smiled silently, but the smile quickly faded away.

——He did have a nightmare, the nightmare had no content, it was all chaos.But Su Bai vaguely heard the roar of the beast, like the roar of a dragon and a tiger, as low as thunder hitting his ear canal.

That was the voice of his husband.

Su Bai didn't know whether it was his imagination caused by his "day-to-day thinking", or the fragments of the time when his memory was blank.

But this dream made him terrified, and he even broke out in a cold sweat when he woke up.

Afterwards, the anxiety in his heart was lingering. In order to avoid any irrational behavior, Su Bai put Fluffy, who had crawled to his shoulder and fell asleep at some point, back into the nest, and then Come to the kitchen and find something to do.

Facts have proved that although the effect is not obvious, doing something can indeed calm him down a little bit - at least when Gu Xingzhou came back, Su Bai was able to show a harmless smile again, and Gu Xingzhou didn't mention him again. If you don't look good.

Gu Xingzhou put a big bag on the table, and said to Su Bai: "I bought Xiaolongbao, sweet-scented osmanthus rice cakes, and a few salted duck eggs. I'll take a bath, and we'll go to the branch office after eating."

Su Bai nodded: "Yes. I'll call Chang Shan and the others."

As soon as Su Bai finished speaking, he heard footsteps from the other side of the stairs, and Chang Shan, who had changed into his uniform, came down with a red-haired fox the size of a cat.

Su Bai glanced at the red-haired fox's ears and recognized it: "... Hu Fang?"

The red-haired fox yawned, wagging its big tail, and asked lazily, "Morning, Brother Bai, do you have any chicken legs?"

Chang Shan put the fox on the dining table, and explained to Su Bai: "Last night, she used her magic power to clean up the water upstairs, and after running out of magic power, she accidentally turned back into her real body."

The red-haired fox has a humble face of meritorious service: "How-key, low-key, who told me that I am the only one in this room who knows how to use mana~"

Chang Shan glanced at her sideways, and finished the second half of the sentence; "The floor was not cleaned when the mana ran out, and I did it by myself, but I didn't expect that she hadn't changed back this morning."

The red-haired fox paused, then snorted, and formed a ball of fox balls on the dining table, ignoring Chang Shan.

Su Bai thought it was funny, and at the same time, he had a vague idea in his mind - so the magic power of the monsters in Kyushu is so weak.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, everyone in the room finished their breakfast, and then drove two cars and set off - because He Di, who provided clues, also went to the sub-bureau today because he wanted to investigate the red fog area.

Fluffy played so crazy last night that she finally woke up in Su Bai's arms until the car drove into the gate of the branch office.

Su Bai took the baby bottle that had been warmed in the thermos bag along the way, and stuffed it into Fluffy's arms.

Although he was still sleepy, his little fluffy mouth had automatically found the smell of food, and his four short legs held the bottle against him, and began to babble.

When the milk in the bottle was sucked halfway, Fluffy was fully awake.

"Mommy! Question!"

Fluffy let go of the bottle a little, and greeted Su Bai and He Di energetically.

He Di answered bluntly: "Morning cashmere."

Su Bai also responded with a smile, and then gently pushed the bottle, signaling for Fluffy to continue eating.

Fluffy: Baji, Baji, Baji.

Gu Xingzhou, who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror, hesitated to speak, and finally looked away sullenly - Dad is just a tool man, he already understood.

The car stopped in the parking lot, and just as Su Bai opened the door to get out of the car, he saw Gu Xingzhou walking over first.

"Let me do it."

Gu Xingzhou reached out and took the bag next to Su Bai - it was full of food and daily necessities for Luanrong and He Di.

Su Bai was not polite to Gu Xingzhou either, "Okay."

After handing over the things, Su Bai got out of the car with Rong Rong in his arms, and looked back to see He Di jumping off safely, before walking towards the administrative building with Gu Xingzhou.

Chang Shan followed with Hu Fang in big strides, and then glanced at He Di who was jumping on the ground. Chang Shan let go and threw Hu Fang to the ground: "He Di jumped on his own, so you go by yourself."

Hu Fang almost fell to the street, jumped up and scratched Chang Shan's knee: "The dog is more ungrateful than Chang Shan!"

Chang Shan raised his long legs and dodged it, with a mean smile on his face: "Come on, hit me."

One person and one fox were jumping around, Gu Xingzhou was carrying his bag, lowering his head and seriously admonishing the two little ones beside him: "Don't learn from them."

Fluffy sucked on the bottle, hearing this, only glanced at Gu Xingzhou, but didn't say anything.

He Di obediently said "Yes", and happily followed Su Bai.

……

Chief's Office.

Director Tang was holding a thermos cup and half an unfinished fried dough stick in his hand. He stared at the big family who entered the door, and said happily, "Are you going on a picnic?"

Gu Xingzhou put the bag in his hand on the sofa beside him, and cut to the chase: "Ju Tang, I want Su Bai to join the investigation team."

Tang Ju put down the thermos cup, didn't rush to get angry, looked straight at Gu Xingzhou and asked, "The reason."

"He knows a lot about monsters."

Gu Xingzhou glanced at He Di who was squatting beside the sofa as a decorative ball: "He Di is a good example."

The matter of He Di, including the matter of Su Bai taking He Di's mother's monster power, was mentioned by Gu Xingzhou in the report on He Di's identity change.

Just because Bureau Tang knew about Su Bai's "specialness", Bureau Tang was not angry when he heard Gu Xingzhou's words just now.

However, Director Tang did not agree, "The sub-bureau has a special monster consultant and a monster research institute to assist. Just knowing the reason of monsters can't convince me—you have to know that the red mist area is uncontrollable, if he has any intentions , will you be able to bake it by then?"

Gu Xingzhou replied unhurriedly one by one: "Although the Monster Research Institute has made great achievements in the past 30 years, the exploration of the red mist area is still on the surface. As for the monster consultants, let alone what they know is very one-sided. , there are not many who dare to approach the red mist area."

The "red mist (wish fire)" in the red mist area is a huge attraction for monsters. These materialized auras are mixed with human karma. Monsters with weaker concentration will be attracted as long as they get close, and then they will have nothing to do. Absorb the wish fire sparingly, and eventually be swallowed by karma.

"As for what you said last. I believe in Su Bai."

Tang Ju raised his eyebrows.

Su Bai was also startled, and looked sideways at Gu Xingzhou.

Only one side of the red-haired fox patted Chang Shan's ankle with its paws -- yo yo yo~

Chang Shan was confused, bent down and carried the fox to the tea table and put it on the coffee table, then gave Hu Fang a warning look - what are you scratching?Be safe, and watch out for Tang Bureau to cut you.

Hu Fang: "..."

Hey, my son, I'm afraid that your left hand will marry your right hand in this life.

Director Tang looked at Gu Xingzhou for a few seconds, and then smiled: "Since you have said so, that's fine, just take him with you, but let me put my ugly words up front, if anything goes wrong with him, you will be responsible. "

Gu Xingzhou nodded: "Thank you Tang Bureau."

Director Tang waved his hand, looked at the well-behaved He Di, and asked Gu Xingzhou: "Have you eaten? Go to eat before you eat, and then ask He Di to explain the situation in the red mist area in detail. "

Gu Xingzhou: "Eat it, let's talk now, and tell the other investigation team leaders to come to the meeting?"

Bureau Tang: "OK."

……

An hour later, the meeting ended, and the investigation team of the first district bureau was ready to dispatch.

The investigation area was narrowed down to a hilly area in the southwest, and a total of three investigation teams were dispatched, led by Bureau Tang and Gu Xingzhou respectively.Because He Di was the only person who passed through that passage, he was taken along with him, while Rongrong and Hu Fang, who couldn't change back into human form for the time being, were left in the branch office.

"The red mist area is very dangerous. Fluffy is still young, so you can't go there. Aunt Hu will stay here to play with you."

Su Bai squatted beside the sofa, and patiently explained to Rongrong, "Mummy promises that she will be back soon after going, and make double skin milk for Rongrong at night, and put sweet red bean paste in it, okay?"

"Pfft!"

Fluffy shook her head when she heard the words, because she shook her head too hard, her center of gravity shifted, and she fell onto the sofa.

Su Bai quickly stretched out his hand to support him, Rongrong took the opportunity to hug Su Bai's finger with his short legs, and hurriedly said: "Mommy, it's gone!"

Mommy, you will get lost if you leave Fluffy!

Su Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mommy won't fall, I promise to come back soon."

Fluffy still refused, Su Bai had no choice but to look at Gu Xingzhou: "How do you usually coax him?"

Su Bai remembered that when Gu Xingzhou was on missions, Fluffy would be left in the sub-bureau.

Gu Xingzhou: "No coaxing, just stay at the branch office."

Su Bai: "..."

Gu Xingzhou seemed to see that there was something wrong with Su Bai's eyes, so he quickly made amends: "He has some toys he likes in my office, I'll go get them."

Soon, Gu Xingzhou brought a standard tool bag from the bureau, and took out a bunch of plush toys from it.Among them is a pink puppy, which looks about the same size as Fluffy lying on its stomach.

Looking at those toys, Fluffy seemed to have finally attracted his attention. After Su Bai coaxed a few more words, Fluffy finally stopped making trouble and sat obediently on the sofa.

Su Bai heaved a sigh of relief, and Gu Xingzhou said, "I'll take you to get some tools, and I'll ask Hu Fang to come and see the child by the way."

5 minutes ago Tang Bureau was calling to gather and set off. Su Bai hesitated for a moment, bent down and kissed Rongrong: "That Rongrong is good, Aunt Hu Fang will be here soon, mommy and daddy will go first."

Fluffy rubbed against Su Bai's chin, let out a soft "um", then obediently sat on the sofa without moving.

Su Bai smiled, pinched his fluffy ears again, and then left with Gu Xingzhou.

The door was closed, but Fluffy on the sofa suddenly sat up, and then looked back at the pile of plush toys behind him.
