Xia Hongliang obediently shrank under the air-conditioned blanket, thinking it would be great if Xia Ke could be as bold and strong as her mother in the future.
But then he rembered how he had chased after Liu Lu back in the day, and how his daughter had tagged along behind Qiao Yu ever since she was in split pants. A wave of sadness welled up inside him.
The starting point is different; how can the backbone beco strong?
Xia Hongliang felt he hadn’t been this overwheld in his entire life; indeed, when a man reaches middle age, he truly worries!
...
Early the next morning, to prevent being recognized by the neighbors, Qiao Yu took Xia Keke and ran two stops to a rice noodle shop far away to have fish noodles.
"Did Uncle Xia scold you when you went ho yesterday?"
"Why would he scold ? If anyone should be scolded, it’s you. Who told you to hug people just as you walked in the door?" Xia Keke replied with a mischievous smile.
Xia Keke didn’t have as many ssy thoughts as Old Xia.
She had long ago confessed her feelings for Qiao Yu to the two adults at ho, feeling a bit embarrassed to see it upfront, but she treated it as desensitization.
"Sorry, you were the one who hugged first in Beijing."
"But I didn’t hug you in front of Aunt Qiao. You almost got yelled at by my parents, so you owe compensation!"
"Stop it... Okay, what compensation do you want?"
"Take to the park for a whole day, an entire day!"
"How old are you to still want to go to the park?" Qiao Yu scornfully glanced at Xia Keke.
"A seventeen-year-old can’t go to the park?"
Qiao Yu thought for a mont, then said, "Alright then, but you have to say, ’Brother, please take to the park for a day!’ preferably in that cute voice like when you were little."
Xia Keke blinked, not hesitating at all: "Dear good brother, please take Keke to the park for a day!"
Qiao Yu generously said, "Ahem, well... alright! Considering how sincere you are, I’ll take you to the Window of the World today, and we’ll play from morning till night!"
Profit! He ca back to Star City mainly to relax. This way, he not only gained a playmate, but also soone who begged him sweetly, like earning double.
Today, he was originally planning to deliver the manuscript to Zhou Shuang. But since Xia Keke wanted to go to the park, he might as well wait until he goes to Xingtie First Middle School for a lecture.
After all, friends to play gas with are currently not as important as a girlfriend...
"Thank you, brother!" Xia Keke bead with joy.
Quietly eating beef noodles at a nearby table, Zheng Xiweng and Zhang Mingyu exchanged glances and sighed together.
"Xiao Zhang, you’re still single, right?" Zheng Xiweng asked in a low voice.
Zhang Mingyu nodded.
"Brother Xin always says, being single is good. Don’t be fooled by how sweet and lovely young girls seem before marriage, speaking so nicely. Once you marry, you’ll see, they turn into T-Rexes in no ti! Quite the temper."
Zhang Mingyu looked at Zheng Xiweng and said, "Brother Zheng, you’re the famous bachelor in our unit, the old leader even got mad at you for not marrying, how co you know about these things?"
Zheng Xiweng scoffed, "You haven’t eaten pork, but you know what a pig looks like, right? Look at Captain Lu, rember what he was like when you first joined? And see what he’s like now after getting married?
Married n are finished, you know! Especially after having a daughter, does Lao Lu still live like a person? Such a fierce brother back then, now living like a mouse, smiling at everyone.
Look at Xia Hongliang from yesterday. Just listen to , you have to grasp this matter! Don’t be deceived by a woman’s appearance! Pampering around the clock and still having to give a dowry, such a loss!
Listen to , never give up your entire future for those few seconds of pleasure that are so easy to get! It’s really not worth it!"
Zhang Mingyu chuckled and said, "Sorry, Brother Zheng, the leader said my mom wrote to him, I have to get married before I’m 28, then have a baby.
The leader also said that after completing this mission, he’d introduce to soone. She’s seen my photo and likes enough, plus there’s no dowry.
Also, the leader said if it really works out, he’ll give at least a year’s long vacation. Whenever the baby is born and everything at ho is settled, then I can return to report."
Zheng Xiweng was stunned upon hearing this, then looked at his silent, honest comrade with sympathy—such a talented young man, about to be ruined by the damned leader again!
...
Although there were so shortcomings, like being recognized and having to go to Changjun High School and Xingtie First Middle School for a lecture.
But for Qiao Yu, who had been busy for two whole years, he still spent a leisurely week.
No longer having to open his email first thing every morning and then reply to emails.
He even picked up the King’s Valley, which he hadn’t touched in a long ti, stylishly taking Keke up to Platinum...
Not to the King, mainly because ti was limited, and after a few consecutive wins, you often encounter perforrs.
It’s not that Qiao Yu didn’t want to do a five-stack; it’s just that the people he used to play with can’t play together anymore.
The difference in identity has begun to show.
In the past, Zhou Shuang, who frequently put his arm around him, now behaves docilely and politely like a top-class monitor when he ets him, which is really uninteresting.
In the end, you can’t play together anymore. This makes Xia Keke even more precious; no matter what he achieves, she’s the sa as before when she’s with him!
