Yi Pin, who had been standing at the door for a long time without going home, felt a bit dazed. Standing still on the spot, not knowing what to do, he just hooked the corner of his mouth into a smile.
"What's up? Feeling guilty?"
Yi Pin hooked the corner of his mouth into a smile again.
"Why should I feel guilty about going back to my own home!" Yi Pin frowned, with a bitter smile on his lips.
Actually, although only a few months had passed, it felt like he had experienced a great deal.
He hesitated at the door.
He didn't know whether he should knock on the door or not.
While Yi Pin was lingering uneasily, Shen Yu hooked the corner of his mouth into a smile and pressed the doorbell first.
After all, it was his first time running away from home and staying away for so long. It was inevitable that he felt a bit nervous. So when waiting for the door to open, his heart seemed to be pounding wildly.
"Back?"
Aunt Liu greeted them very warmly.
"Yeah!"
Yi Pin smiled and stepped forward to give Aunt Liu a hug.
"Little master, you've lost weight recently. Haven't you been eating?"
Aunt Liu said with concern.
"Aunt Liu, don't tease me. I've gained five pounds this month."
Yi Pin couldn't help smiling.
Looking at the surrounding scenery, he hadn't seen it for a long time.
It was both familiar and strange.
Shen Yu stepped forward with a smile and politely handed the wine and fruits he brought to Aunt Liu.
"Master Shen, you've come. Why did you bring so many things? Haven't you been here for a while?"
Then they saw Grandpa and Father coming downstairs. They stared directly at the three of them, with a look of shock on their faces.
It had been a long time since Yi Pin had seen his grandpa. It seemed that there were more wrinkles on his face, but he was still as bright and upright as ever.
Yi Pin smiled.
Just as he was about to step forward two steps, at this moment, his stepmother with a cold expression all the time came down.
"Yo, you're finally willing to come back. I thought you were going to die outside and never come back!"
The stepmother said with a smile.
"Shut up. It's not easy for the child to come back. Don't cause any trouble here."
Father said nervously, pursing his lips.
He was observing whether the stepmother would say anything else. She just stood there quietly with a provocative expression.
"A Yu, come in quickly. Thanks to you for taking care of our Yi Pin these days!"
Grandpa walked up as if he hadn't heard the stepmother's words. Looking at Yi Pin in front of him, he spoke after a while.
Shen Yu quickly stepped forward and started chatting with the old man.
"And this little guy, who is he?"
Father stepped forward and asked.
"Oh, let me introduce him to you solemnly. This is my son."
Yi Pin hooked the corner of his mouth into a smile.
"What?"
The three of them looked at Yi Pin in front of them in shock.
"I said, this is my son!"
Yi Pin continued.
The three people who were kept in the dark were confused and a bit dumbfounded.
"Yi Pin, you'd better explain clearly what's going on today!"
The old man looked at Yi Pin in front of him angrily.
Although he had always wanted to have a grandson, no matter what, if there was a child now, it would mean unwed pregnancy. How could he do something that would damage a girl's reputation.
"Yeah, which girl is it? I thought you never had a relationship."
Father also said.
"My god, what on earth are you thinking? This is my godson. I'll explain it to you later." Yi Pin said, sweating.
"Hello, Grandpa. Hello, Grandpa. Hello, Auntie..."
Little Guy was very smart. He stepped forward cutely to say hello.
Grandpa kept looking at Yi Pin. Although he didn't say it, he really missed this naughty grandson these days. The home seemed a bit desolate without him.
Shen Yu quickly stepped forward and briefly explained Zi Qi's situation.
The Yi family was quite reasonable. They were confident that they could provide Zi Qi with a better education and living environment. Seeing that Zi Qi was so smart and cute, they didn't object.
"Good, good, good... Xiao Liu, hurry up and cook more delicious dishes." Grandpa was rarely so happy. Maybe it was because Yi Pin was back home. Maybe it was because Yi Pin brought Shen Yu back. Maybe it was because they had an extra little grandson out of the blue.
The smile on his face never faded.
Shen Yu was busy playing chess and chatting with the old man. It seemed that he really pleased the old man.
Zi Qi seemed a bit restrained because he was in a strange environment and seeing strangers. He didn't dare to move around casually.
"Such a little guy, doesn't he have a mother?" the stepmother said, with a look of doubt on her face. "You're just a young man. How do you know how to take care of a child? Aren't you afraid he'll be a burden? I really admire your way of thinking!"
Yi Pin sighed. He covered Zi Qi's ears with both hands and frowned.
"What's so difficult about it? You can learn it. And you, becoming a stepmother at such a young age. I really don't understand your way of thinking either!"
Yi Pin said coldly.
After all, they had lived together for a while, so he naturally knew what words could hurt her.
Sure enough, hearing this, she frowned and turned away.
Yi Pin pursed his lips behind her. Without thinking, he knew that she must be going to Father to complain about him.
Yi Pin hooked the corner of his mouth into a smile and said, "Zi Qi, come on. I'll take you to my game room."
Then he took Zi Qi to the game room... Although no one had been there for a long time, it was still spotless, obviously being cleaned every day.
Looking at the dazzling array of games and the cool decorations, Zi Qi seemed to be shocked. Maybe it was the first time he had seen such a grand game room.
"Brother, can I... play?"
Zi Qi asked cutely.
Seeing this, Yi Pin felt a bit heart - ache.
If it was a normal child, they would definitely start playing as soon as they came in without caring about others' feelings. But obviously, Zi Qi was much more mature, maybe because he had experienced things that his peers hadn't.
"Of course you can. From now on, what belongs to brother belongs to Zi Qi!"
Yi Pin hooked the corner of his mouth into a smile and said.
The two of them played in the game room for a long time before they heard Aunt Liu calling them for dinner.
"Are you hungry?"
Yi Pin touched Zi Qi's chubby belly. It felt soft.
"Hungry!"
The two of them sat at the dinner table. Looking at the dazzling array of dishes, Yi Pin felt his nose a bit sour. All the dishes were his favorites.
Many times, the taste of the food would be different because of the cook.
Although he really liked the food cooked by Shen Yu, he would also miss the food at home occasionally.
"Zi Qi, eat more, okay? Come and sit beside Grandpa!"
It was the first time Yi Pin had seen his grandpa so gentle. Usually, he had a completely different attitude towards him.
Zi Qi walked over with a smile.
Maybe because they had spent some time together and he had found a sense of security in this family, Zi Qi seemed less restrained.
