Don't you say I'm a substitute

21.

On the day he returned home from the hospital, the family prepared a surprise for Zheng Zaochun.

As soon as Zheng Zaochun entered the door, he found that the living room was full of colorful garland flowers and balloons. Aunt Zhou showed her skills and made a table full of dishes. Qiuqiu smiled and stuffed a homemade greeting card into Zheng Zaochun's hands. Putting on the little red clothes, I looked very festive.

Just as he was about to ask, Lu Haoze walked up to Zheng Zaochun holding a cake with two candles 2 and 4 stuck in it.

"When you were in the hospital, I ran around every day. I was so busy that I almost forgot that today is your birthday. Thanks to Xiao Li's reminder. After we discussed it yesterday, we decided to give you a surprise when you were discharged from the hospital today. The preparations were a bit hasty, but Fortunately, we caught up."

Zheng Zaochun was a little stunned, he couldn't remember that today was his birthday, he had been alone for so many years, and there was no one around him who could celebrate his birthday with him, so gradually he almost forgot about it.

"What are you doing in a daze? Come blow out the candles, birthday boy." Lu Haoze gently pushed Zheng Zaochun, and Qiuqiu grabbed his arm and pulled him to the dining table to sit down.

"Happy birthday, let's make a wish, we will sing you a birthday song, get ready, all together!" Lu Haoze put the cake in front of Zheng Zaochun, turned off the lights and led the rest of the people to sing.

Sensing that everyone was looking at him, Zheng Zaochun felt a little awkward, he closed his eyes carelessly, and then blew out the candle.

"Happy birthday!" When the headlights came on, everyone applauded together. Aunt Zhou and Xiao Li took out their respective gifts and handed them to Zheng Zaochun.

"...Thank you." Zheng Zaochun kept thanking everyone.

"Thank you, this is what we should do. Speaking of which, what wish did you just make?" When it was Lu Haoze's turn to give a gift, he put his hands behind his back and pretended to be tricky.

"Well, when I used to work part-time, I was very envious of those college students, so if I have the opportunity, I would like to go to college... Is that okay?" Zheng Zaochun honestly expressed his wish for many years, and then he saw Lu Haoze's expression It changed, so I thought about it and added a timid "Is it okay" at the end.

"Of course! I support you [-]%! Don't worry, I will leave this matter to me!" Lu Haoze slowly transferred the small box in his heart into his pants pocket.

"Father, where is the gift you gave Dad?" Qiuqiu opened her eyes wide and innocently reminded everyone.

"Well, early spring, my gift isn't ready yet, I'll give it to you when it's ready." Lu Haoze clenched his trouser pockets tightly, his eyes drooping slightly, and he was very lonely, and when he saw Zheng Zaochun's indifferent expression, he felt even more so. I feel sad.

"You guys cut the cake first, I'll go to the next bedroom." Lu Haoze opened the stool, stood up and ran into the room.

After closing the door, Lu Haoze fell on the bed in frustration.He took out the ugly box in his pocket and opened it. Inside was a bunch of keys and an access card, with a delicate bow tied on the keys.These are the keys and access control belonging to Zheng Zaochun in the company that Lu Haoze had prepared long ago. He waited for Zheng Zaochun to say that he wanted a job, and then he took out the presents naturally. Zheng Zaochun didn't follow the routine, so He couldn't give this gift.

"Hey, if I knew it, I would just give it away..." Lu Haoze sighed.

"No, if I give it, I won't know his real wish..." Lu Haoze sighed again.

Rolling around on the bed a few times, packing up his loss, Lu Haoze opened the door and went out.

The restaurant was bustling with activity at this time, the twins sat in the child seats and were teased by the adults, Qiuqiu used cream to stick a beard on Zheng Zaochun.

Seeing Lu Haoze go and come back, Zheng Zaochun suddenly felt very embarrassed.Today he was a little bit indulgent, Xiao Li handed him the bowl containing food supplements, he didn't refuse but picked up a small spoon and fed them to the two brothers one by one, even Qiuqiu came over and said he wanted to paint his beard, he didn't refuse either.Would it be unhappy to be so close to the child Lu Haoze?Zheng Zaochun felt uneasy.

"I'm sorry, I started without waiting for you..." In short, let's apologize first.

"It's okay, eat first, don't worry about me." Now Lu Haoze hates Zheng Zaochun talking to him in such a polite, alienated, self-blame tone, and feels pain in his heart when he hears it.

"Father, my little brother just smiled at Dad, and he laughed for a long time!" Qiuqiu pointed at the family's demon king, the twin brother.

"Really? It seems that he really gave you face." Lu Haoze touched his younger brother's forehead as he spoke.

"Bang!" The younger brother suddenly became unhappy, lost his temper and threw the small spoon in his hand on the ground, and opened his mouth to cry.

"Father, you forgot that my younger brother hates people touching his forehead the most..." Qiuqiu blamed her with her fingers covering her ears.

"Hey, I really forgot, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, brother, I'm sorry... Come on, hug, coax, woo woo, stop crying, stop crying, good boy..."

After Lu Haoze hurriedly coaxed his younger brother, he turned around and saw that Zheng Zaochun had already left the table at some point.Lu Haoze pursed his lips, blaming himself for only coaxing the children and ignoring the adults.

Lu Haoze put down the child and walked around the room, only to find that Zheng Zaochun had gone to the attic.

"Zaochun, the table is over so soon? Have you finished eating?" Lu Haoze knocked on the door of the attic.

"I'm done eating, thank you." Zheng Zaochun replied.

"There are still so many cakes and dishes, don't you want to eat any more?" Don't you want to eat with me?

"No, I'm already full, so eat well."

"Are you drawing?"

"Ah."

"Okay then, if you're tired, come out and eat some fruit and have a rest!"

"OK, thanks."

Lu Haoze came down from the attic dejectedly, how could Zheng Zaochun not avoid him like this?Lu Haoze was deep in thought, when he passed by the guest room, he suddenly thought of a brilliant idea.

"Boss, are you sure you want to do this?" Aunt Zhou hesitated.

"Yeah, I'm sure, it's right for you to clean up like this." Lu Haoze couldn't hide his excitement in his tone.

"Eh, well..."

At 11:30 in the evening, Zheng Zaochun came out of the attic and stopped suddenly when he reached the door of his guest room.The light in the guest room was on, and there was the sound of Aunt Zhou coaxing the child to sleep.Zheng Zaochun paused, turned his heels to another smaller guest room, and found that Xiao Li was living in it with one of the twins.This house has four rooms in total, Lu Haoze lives in the master bedroom, and Qiuqiu lives in the second bedroom. It turns out that he lives in the big guest room, and Aunt Zhou and Xiao Li live in the small guest room.Zheng Zaochun stood in the corridor and thought about it. Aunt Zhou and Xiao Li probably lived with a child during the time he was hospitalized.

Zheng Zaochun stood there scratching his head, chuckled to himself as if thinking of something, walked around the living room and returned to the attic.

When Lu Haoze came up angrily to find someone, Zheng Zaochun had already rolled up the blanket and lay down.

"You're trying to piss me off, aren't you?! Lie on the ground as soon as you get out of the hospital!" Lu Haoze picked him up from the ground, his words were angry, but Lu Haoze's hands were very gentle, but even so, Zheng Zaochun was still caught. Take a stagger.

It turned out that Lu Haoze had taken a shower early today and was lying on the bed waiting for that person to come.He planned well, let Aunt Zhou move to the guest room that Zheng Zaochun lived in before, and when he finds that there is no place to sleep, he will definitely come to the master bedroom to find him, and then the two of them can sleep in the same bed logically.

Lu Haoze waited and waited, until he almost fell asleep, and finally heard the movement from the attic.Hearing that Zheng Zaochun had come out, Lu Haoze quickly pulled himself together, quickly turned off the lights so that only the one by the bed was left, grabbed a book by the bed, casually opened it and held it in front of his eyes, listening to the footsteps outside the door with his ears up. Voice.

The footsteps first came to the large guest room, then the small guest room, and then the living room?Um?attic?Listening to it, the outside became quiet, Lu Haoze was stunned, this unfolding was different from what he thought...
