All these years, he had never bothered to explain the things he did to others. Whether they chose to understand or not, he would not explain them.
Only to Ye Yuwei could he not risk explaining because he would not be able to bear the consequences if she misunderstood him.
When that woman first entered his life, he was not attracted to her. When did it start, that he could not stop looking at her?
Gu Juexi got up and picked up his phone from the bedside table to check the time. He had been sleeping from three in the afternoon until now. It was the longest sleep he had for the first time in many years.
As Gu Juexi was about to put his phone down and get off the bed, he noticed Ye Xicheng from the opposite bed suddenly getting up. Gu Juexi’s movements paused as he realized that Ye Xicheng wanted to get off the bed.
Gu Juexi hurriedly got up and carried him. “What are you doing?”
Ye Xicheng was stunned for a while. He would always run to the washroom by himself at midnight because his mommy needed to take care of his sister and he did not want to disturb her. To be picked up so suddenly seemed kind of forced.
Ye Xicheng pursed his lips and while suspended in midair muttered, “Pee.”
Gu Juexi was also stunned. He must be thinking ‘a kid going to pee at midnight’? It must be some overly masculine illness. But he still carried Ye Xicheng to the bathroom.
Ye Xicheng finished his important life business. After Gu Juexi carried him back, he quickly snuggled back into bed.
“Even if you’re a hero, I still won’t accept you that quickly.”
Gu Juexi raised his brow and watched Ye Xicheng who had covered himself with the blanket. If he would not accept him quickly, that meant that he would eventually?
Gu Juexi returned to the opposite bed and sat down. He gazed at his wife and kids and as if he had not given up, stood up to kiss Ye Yuwei. Before his lips could touch Ye Yuwei’s lips, Ye Xicheng’s little hand stopped him.
“Don’t secretly kiss my mommy,” Ye Xicheng warned quietly.
Gu Juexi was speechless.
Where had this devil child come from?
Gu Juexi went back to his bed absently and looked at the proud little boy watching him.
‘Never mind, he’s my biological son. Biological son.’
Gu Juexi repeated it in his head and laid down immediately. He was worried he might forget the word “biological” and strangle him instead.
Once Ye Xicheng saw Gu Juexi lay down, he hugged his mother and went to sleep.
On the second day, as the entire city was reporting about the deeds of the retired soldier during the flood, Gu Juexi wanted to leave with his wife and kids.
Master Yao Lao was unwilling to leave, so they could only bring Xixi over for treatment from now on.
Master Yao Lao’s home was temporarily unliveable so Gu Juexi arranged for someone to take care of Master Yao Lao. Just as Master Yao Lao wanted to decline Gu Juexi’s good intentions, he brought He Liao into the picture.
“He Liao is no longer around. He’s my brother. Settling your retirement is something I should be doing,” Gu Juexi said gently. “His mother is my mother. A son taking care of a mother is only proper.”
Master Yao Lao wanted to say something, but only sighed in the end.
“Then help me find a small clinic. I still have a lifetime to live, I want to save a few more people.”
“Understood. I’ll make arrangements.” Gu Juexi quickly agreed.
After making arrangements for Master Yao Lao, Gu Juexi and Ye Yuwei brought the two kids to the airport. The airport was also airing the news about the vanished retired soldier. Gu Juexi was satisfied since the Major had not mentioned his name.
The news about yesterday’s disaster was on the TV. Gu Juexi raised his head to take a look and was about to look away when he recognized something.
That silhouette?
