The unscrupulous system forced me to frantically test the small black room

"Oh, why are you being sentimental? I feel embarrassed listening to you." Tao Zhi said with a forced smile, but there was a hint of forcedness in his eyes.

"Would you still be embarrassed? You even have the nerve to be affectionate with your boyfriend at someone else's birthday party. Would you still be embarrassed?" Taoci curled her eyes.

"Don't say such nasty words in front of our mother." Tao Zhi pretended to be embarrassed.

Taoci sighed, looked up at Tao Li who was standing straight beside him, then reached out and patted the seat on his right, motioning Tao Li to sit next to him.

Tao Li was stunned, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Then, a wave of emotion appeared in his eyes. He lowered his eyes and sat down as Tao Ci had instructed, but he was still a short distance away from Tao Li.

Tao Ci put his arm around Tao Li's shoulders and pulled the person over. Tao Li staggered and bumped into Tao Ci's shoulder. There was a hint of panic in Tao Li's eyes.

"You little brat, you only know how to do great things quietly. You even hide something from your own father. How can I not stand on your side?"

"I don't know who in our family he looks like. He has a stern face every day and never asks for help when he encounters troubles since he was a child. He just handles it all on his own." Taoci said.

Tao Li's eyes sparkled when he heard this, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

As Taoci said this, he hit Tao Zhi on the forehead with lightning speed, causing Tao Zhi to grimace in pain.

"And you, you are the most outrageous. Our Tao family has never found someone as clever and noisy as you in three generations. Could it be that the hospital took the wrong baby back then?" Tao Ci complained.

"That's impossible. My brother and I look exactly like a copy and paste. I have perfectly replicated your handsome, suave and charming appearance."

"My brother is responsible for being handsome and elegant, and I am responsible for being romantic and suave. Together we are the face of the Tao family." Tao Zhi said.

Taoci pretended to hit Tao Zhi on the head again, but Tao Zhi dodged it swiftly. Taoci glanced at Tao Zhi with a kind smile in his eyes.

"Stop talking here, go out and call the two people squatting outside the door in." Taoci said.

Tao Zhi was stunned when he heard this.

"It's fine to call Lawrence sister-in-law, but why call her Gong Cheng?" Tao Zhi's tone sounded a little uncomfortable.

"Go, go, stop talking nonsense."

Tao Ci pulled out his arm and pushed Tao Zhi to get up. Tao Zhi scratched his head and walked towards the door with a puzzled look on his face.

When the door was opened, Lawrence and Gong Cheng were seen standing on the left and right, blocking the door as tightly as the door itself.

It's really a double door.

"Come in, my dad wants to chat with you two." Tao Zhi said.

Lawrence and Gong Cheng followed him in and saw Tao Li and Tao Ci sitting casually on the floor.

Lawrence was not shy either. He grinned and sat down next to Tao Li. He squeezed in to get closer. Such a big guy was pushed closer to Tao Li's shoulder in just a few seconds.

Tao Zhi staggered back to the left side of Tao Ci and sat down.

Gong Cheng was a little at a loss, hesitating whether to sit down. Someone felt a slightly cold finger on his hand, and before Gong Cheng could react, he was pulled by the owner of the hand to bend down. Gong Cheng followed Tao Zhi's instructions and sat next to him.

Gong Cheng's gaze fell on Tao Zhi's profile, and the touch on his wrist was removed. Tao Zhi lazily rested his hand on his chin.

For a moment, the four grown men sat in a circle, staring at each other, and the atmosphere became awkward.

Tao Zhixian broke the silence.

"So are we gathered together to prepare for some ancient ceremony?" Tao Zhi joked.

As soon as Tao Zhi finished speaking, a gust of palm wind blew towards his face. Tao Zhi dodged it in an instant, smiled and leaned into Gong Cheng's arms, his hand reaching for Gong Cheng's thigh. Gong Cheng subconsciously supported Tao Zhi's elbow.

The loose hair on the back of Tao Zhi's head tickled Gong Cheng's neck, and the faint scent of shampoo lingered between Gong Cheng's mouth and nose.

Tao Ci glanced at Tao Zhi, then extended his left hand to Tao Zhi and his right hand to Tao Li.

Tao Zhi was slightly stunned, and Tao Li also had a confused look on his face.

Tao Zhi realized what Tao Ci meant and placed his hand in Tao Ci's palm.

Seeing this, Tao Li's heart was moved, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and stars flashed in his eyes. Then he imitated Tao Zhi and placed his slender hand in Cizheng's palm.

"Today, I just want to say something to you in front of your mother."

"I have not been a good father these years. I don't know how to educate my children well, and you have been having a hard time all this time."

"Especially the eldest. After your mother passed away, I was so busy taking care of the second child that I neglected you, the oldest. I forced you to be independent at such a young age, and because of that, you became more and more distant from me."

"What makes me feel lucky is that you are so smart and sensible, and have grown into the outstanding person you are now."

"I am ashamed of myself and proud of you." Taoci said earnestly.

Tao Li listened quietly, his eyes turned red unconsciously, his lips slightly opened, trembling slightly, and his nose began to feel sore.

At this moment, Tao Li felt as if the string in his heart that had been tense and trembling for more than ten years was suddenly smoothed out.

After saying this, Taoci turned his gaze to Tao Zhi again, then sighed, looking as if he was disappointed in his son.

"I really don't know how to say hello to you. Look at your brother, then look at yourself."

"All your bad habits are caused by me. I made you a spoiled young master."

"In the past two years, you were so naughty that you almost broke the sky. You dared to do those things, but I didn't dare to say anything."

"If I write your name in the family tree of our Tao family, our ancestor will be so angry that he will kick the coffin two miles away."

"With your personality, who else can look up to you except Gong boy?" Taoci said.

Tao Zhi raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Why do you change your tone when it's my turn? You can't praise and criticize like that. If you want to praise, then praise everyone together and treat everyone equally." Tao Zhi curled his lips.

"Fortunately, you don't have bad intentions. I know you were just fooling around and having fun." Taoci said.

"The praise is so perfunctory." Tao Zhi muttered.

"I don't expect anything else from you two. I just hope you two can be fine."

"I'm over 50 now, and my health has been getting worse in recent years. I've been in the hospital every few days. Maybe one day I'll be wrapped up in a cool mat."

"Now that I can see that you have all found your lifelong partner, I have no other regrets," said Taoci.

It's not necessary to use a cool mat to cover it, Tao Zhi thought inappropriately.
