Through the book: The villain’s son’s stand-in

Neat and dense street lights are scattered beside the suspended driveway. As night falls, flashing light signs are also lit up one after another on the streets in the distance.

Ke Dong parked outside the Gu family villa, leaning on the side of the car door and looking into the brightly lit room on the second floor, blowing out a circle of smoke lightly from his mouth.

The smoke evaporated upwards along with the water vapor he breathed out, making it difficult to distinguish them.

He doesn't smoke often.

Even during the first twenty years of his studies, he felt that tobacco and alcohol were a waste of life.

For his own life and to be responsible for his future family, he restrained himself and learned to vent the negative reactions in his heart and body in a healthier way.

When did he learn it?

Ke Dong stared at the shaking figures in the window and took another puff of cigarette. The red light of Mars was so eye-catching in the dark night.

Probably when hybrids were declared truly legal.

That night, he hid on the roof.

It seemed that he had been suppressed for too long, and he wasted a lot of his life.

Facing the bright moon hanging high in the sky, the bottom of the trash can was covered with scattered soot.

Gray and white, just like the first forty-three years of his doing nothing.

After extinguishing the cigarette in his hand, Ke Dong stood in the cold night for another half hour.

After the smell dissipated, he felt unsafe again, so he took off his coat and threw it into the trunk to hide it. Wearing only a thin white shirt and black trousers, he rang the doorbell of Gu's house.

The door was opened by Gu Pan.

The first time she saw him, Gu Pan was pleasantly surprised, and then she pulled him in worriedly.

"Why are you wearing so little? It's still very cold at night. You have to take good care of yourself."

"Yeah, I know." Ke Dong said softly.

As soon as he entered the living room, Ke Jin's voice echoed in the spiral staircase.

"Dad~"

The tail sound was very long, even when he slid down the slide on the side, it didn't break.

Ke Jin, the little cannonball, reappeared, knocking Ke Dong back two steps with one impact.

Ke Jin, who was almost twelve years old, stood up straight enough to reach his chest, so Ke Dong felt a pain in his heart. While restraining Ke Jin, he also expressed the same emotion as Dr. Lanling.

His heart is indeed excellent.

They were all trained by Ke Jin, this little cannonball.

"...Then we'll leave first."

Ke Dong put his arm around Ke Jin's shoulders and said goodbye to the Gu family mother and son with a smile.

Gu Pan waved happily, while Gu Cheng watched them leave with a faint smile.

Returning to the floating car, Ke Jin keenly smelled the smell of smoke that had not dissipated.

He turned around with a sullen face and wide eyes: "Dad, you smoke."

He used a statement tone, obviously having established the facts.

Ke Dong hummed, his voice slightly dry and hoarse.

After receiving a positive answer, Ke Jin widened his emerald eyes and analyzed:

"I felt something was wrong with you this morning. Not only did you not pick me up from school for the first time, but you also stayed up late. You usually want to arrange your daily life to the fullest, but I clearly saw your car at the window, but you just Don’t come up.”

"Then you rushed over just now..."

"Of course, smell if you still smell of cigarettes!" Ke Jin said decisively.

He said like a little adult: "I know the society outside is very cruel. Dad, you must have suffered a lot, so I can tolerate you to relax occasionally, but..."

Ke Jin lowered his eyes in a low voice, with a bit of hoarseness in his voice: "But you are the only relative I have. If you..., I will become a human being."

"Besides, my... mother is a liar. She will definitely not care about me. Maybe I will end up becoming a street kid in the Blue Star slum, living with the smelly ditch every day."

Ke Jin's assumption was not valid. Even if he had no father or mother, his godmother would never ignore him. But in order to impress Ke Dong more deeply, he kept telling the truth.

Sure enough, the next second he heard Ke Dong say sorry in a calm voice.

Just as he was about to comfort him and say it didn't matter, he heard words that shocked him.

"Your mother, come to see me."

Ke Jin instantly raised the spikes on his body and said warily: "What is she doing here? Is she coming to snatch daddy from me?"

"what?"

Ke Jin's speech made Ke Dong feel confused.

"Why do you think she's here... to rob me?"

Ke Jin said matter-of-factly: "Of course I'm here to rob you. I was only a child less than half a year old at the time. Dad, you have been with her for several years. In terms of time, her feelings for you must be deeper!" "

Ke Jin recalled the information that his father had found under the quilt after he told him Rhine's true race, and said with certainty: "And the Shuvine Empire is different from us. It adopts the blood theory. She must look down on me."

"Even if she knew she could better influence you through me, she didn't come to me first."

Since Ke Jin's status became legal, the feeling of being inferior to others has also dissipated.

He began to truly live in the sun, freely pursuing everything that a normal child should have.

From this, his cognition began to develop rapidly, and now he can analyze problems and explain them clearly and logically like a little adult.

Ke Dong looked at him with admiration. Ke Jin felt that this was more gratifying than the progress in his grades.

"You've grown up."

Ke Jin could hear a bit of emotion, melancholy, and a bit of relief from Ke Dong's words.

He straightened his chest again, raised his chin slightly, and his green pupils were clear and arrogant, just like a young version of Rhine appearing in front of him.

Ke Dong couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

"Dad, you haven't told me yet, what did she say to you!"

The hover car drove automatically towards its destination. Amidst the faint sound of high-speed movement in the air, the vigilance in Ke Jin's eyes rose to its peak.

Ke Dong's Adam's apple surged up and down, and he organized his words again, excluding some content that children could not hear, and fully explained the conversation that day.

However, Ke Jin said even more confidently: "I knew she was definitely here to rob you."

Ke Dong was a little confused as to how he came to this conclusion, but Ke Jin raised a finger and said, "Of course it's the enemy's intuition."

He said: "Dad, haven't you noticed that every time she wants you to do something you don't like, she always carries the label of doing it for my own good?"

"She just caught my weakness, that's why she's sure you will agree."

What kind of answer was the process of deriving from the results? Ke Dong felt that as an adult, he couldn't keep up with Ke Jin's thinking.

"Dad, don't think about it. Just know that she is definitely plotting something against you." Ke Jin said.

"Okay, okay, I understand." Ke Dong nodded and smiled in compromise.

Suddenly, his body froze, his smile stopped and he said, "But what should I do if I have already promised her?"

Ke Dong felt that he must be crazy, and now he was asking an eleven-year-old child for a solution.

But the one who was crazier than him was Ke Jin. He twisted his neck stiffly, and the next second he said angrily: "I knew it, I knew it!"

Suddenly, he tilted his head and asked firmly: "She definitely used me as an excuse to ask you to agree to something, right?"

Ke Dong hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "There is a birthday party next week, and she asked me to take you to attend it."

Hearing this, Ke Jin's eyes turned red with anger and he breathed rapidly. After a while, he calmed down. He solemnly patted Ke Dong's arm and said:

"Dad, don't worry, I will keep an eye on her and I will never let her do bad things to you!"

"you……"

Ke Dong felt that since Ke Jin came to Capital Star, not only his cognition has improved, but his mind has also gradually matured.

Ke Jin felt that there was no need to make a fuss. He said: "Several boys in our class have had girlfriends. I even saw them kissing behind a tree!"

"But dad, don't worry. I know that my grades are not yet high enough to rank among the top without working hard, and falling in love will delay my studies, so I won't fall in love prematurely."

Ke Dong looked a little broken.

Is this a matter of puppy love?
