Everyone loves gruel

Lin Xizhou slept for a particularly long time this time, and when he walked out of the bedroom yawning, Cheng Hao had already prepared his lunch and was squatting in the corner to help the rice ball pour dog food.

As soon as Fantuan heard the movement, she spread her paws and ran towards him without even taking a bite, bouncing around his legs like a baby.

Lin Xizhou sat down on the sofa sleepily, Fantuan jumped onto the sofa and lay on his lap, his big fluffy tail swaying from side to side.

Cheng Hao handed the iron basin containing the dog food to Lin Xizhou helplessly, "I took it out for a walk early in the morning and came back to give it breakfast and bathe it, but in the end the dog still ignored me."

Lin Xizhou snorted, "This is my dog, who will kiss if you don't want to kiss me?" While feeding the rice balls with food, he turned on the phone with his free right hand.

Cheng Hao looked at the electronic clock that showed 14:[-], "Go and brush your teeth, I'll heat up the food and stir-fry another plate of vegetables by the way."

Lin Xizhou didn't answer, the apple in his hand was shaking non-stop, and he waited for a long time before he calmed down again.

Lin Jiyao made a lot of calls, from last night to now, almost every half an hour, so that the customer service sent dozens of messages saying 'you missed a call when you were in xx'.Of course, in addition to phone calls, there are also many text messages.

18:15 [Xiaoxi, go home. 】

19:00 [Xiaoxi, where are you, have you eaten yet? 】

21:16 [Why didn't you answer the phone, it's late, where are you? 】

23:27【Xiao Xi, aren’t you coming back tonight? 】

02:31【Are you asleep?Where did you rest? 】

03:42【Don't hate me. 】

04:01 [Xiaoxi, I really love you, very much. 】

04:10 [I don't regret doing that. 】

04:15 [If I had known this would happen, I would never have promised your mother to marry her to cover up her unmarried pregnancy. 】

06:24 [It's morning, you must not have woken up yet. 】

08:31 [Remember to eat breakfast, don’t drink coffee on an empty stomach, and call me back after seeing the text message. 】

10:16 [Xiao Xi, at least let me know where you are, okay? 】

11:43 [If you don't like that, I won't do it again, as long as you go home. 】

12:01 [I just finished the drip, but I still feel very uncomfortable. 】

12:52 [Xiaoxi, you can do whatever you want, go home first, I will listen to you. 】

……

The next text message was just now, [If you want me to be just a father, then I will only be a father.Xiao Xi, I will become what you want, as long as you don't leave. 】

Lin Xizhou hesitated for a long time between replying or not, and finally replied, [I will go back in a while, so don't look for me again. 】

Putting down the phone that was vibrating again, Lin Xizhou went to the bathroom to brush his teeth.

After washing up and returning to the living room, Cheng Hao was frying vegetables. He hurriedly poured a bowl of dragon bone red mushroom soup to fill his stomach. Lin Xizhou sipped the steaming bowl while continuing to read text messages.

The rest were all sent by Lin Zheng. Lin Xizhou roughly scanned them, and the pile of emoticons made him lose the desire to reply.Turn off the SMS and open Penguin, there is a red bubble on the right side of Lin Zheng's column in the friend list, with the number 64 written inside.

[Why doesn't the male god QAQ come out to walk the dog? 】

[Godzilla is lovesick, where is the rice ball QAQ?I am already in the late stage of lovesickness, male god where are you QAQ]

……

Lin Xizhou supported his forehead and replied: 【Still alive. 】

Qingzheng replied in seconds: [Male god~~(≧▽≦)/~~]

Qingzheng: [I waited downstairs until noon and didn't see you QAQ!How can you come out without rice balls! 】

Gruel: [...something. 】

Qing Zheng: [The male god is so indifferent [tears] [tears]]

Congee: [I've always been like this, okay [pick nose]]

Qingzheng: [Auyou, you actually explained it to me! ! [Shy] [Shy] The male god is indeed arrogant and cold-hearted. [呲牙]]

Congee: […]

What did he explain?

Cheng Hao poked his head out from the kitchen, "The cabbage is ready, come and serve it for me."

His tone was intimate and natural, like a virtuous wife ordering her husband to do things, with a coquettish smile.

Wife... Jiaochen...

Lin Xizhou twitched the corners of his mouth, disgusted by his own associations.

------------

For the next two days, Lin Xizhou stayed at Cheng Hao's house, and his mood was already much calmer, but he still didn't want to go home and face that person.

However, things are always unpredictable.

On the afternoon of Lin Xizhou's third day staying at Cheng Hao's house, Mrs. Zhang called him.

"Master, Mister was in a car accident." Mrs. Zhang's voice was very anxious, "You should come to the hospital quickly."

car accident?

Lin Xizhou frowned, "What's going on, is it serious?"

"It looks scary, but the doctor said it was a skin trauma." Mrs. Zhang said, "Mr. has a high fever and is driving to a meeting in a neighboring city in the afternoon, so—"

"Ms. Zhang!" A majestic old man's voice came from the other end of the phone, accompanied by the sound of a few crutches hitting the floor, "Give me the phone, and I'll talk to Xiaoxi."

Lin Xizhou listened to the noise in the microphone in silence, and only after he calmed down again did he call out grandpa slowly.

"Xiao Xi, you have always been sensible, what's wrong this time? You haven't come home for several days!" The old man sounded very angry, "Your father is seriously ill, can you still wander around outside with peace of mind? !"

Lin Xizhou didn't speak, because his grandfather had always treated him badly.He actually didn't mind about this, and he understood it very well, after all, he was not Lin Jiyao's biological son.For the older generation who traditionally pay attention to family ethics, their son married an unclean woman and helped someone else raise their son for nearly 20 years.What's more, Lin Jiyao still insisted on not marrying after his mother's death, and even wanted to let Lin Xizhou inherit all his property. It's strange for him to be willing to let outsiders manage the hard work of the old man for most of his life.

Lin Xizhou quietly listened to the old man venting, and then said, "Grandpa, don't be angry, I'll go to the hospital right away."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xizhou left a note for Cheng Hao explaining where he was going, and then called him to the hospital.

The nurse led the way to the ward. The old man was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine. When he saw Lin Xizhou coming, he just snorted lukewarmly and ordered, "Xiao Xi, go and peel an apple for your father."

Lin Xizhou glanced at Lin Jiyao, there were bruises and abrasions on his legs, and his arms were also wrapped in bandages.Without saying a word, he picked up the apples that Mrs. Zhang had washed on the table and began to peel them, then cut them into pieces and put them in the bowl.

Lin Jiyao looked at him sideways without blinking, his face was calm, only his trembling right hand beside him revealed his thoughts.

Lin Xizhou behaved extremely filial and well-behaved in every move. Lin Jiyao knew that his father's presence would only make him uncomfortable, so he turned his head and said, "Dad, you can go back first, and let Xiaoxi take care of me."

Lin Sheng stared, "Why, why don't you want me if you have a son?!"

"Where are you talking..."

Lin Xizhou sat silently by the bed and peeled apples. After Lin Jiyao coaxed Lin Sheng back, he handed a bowl full of apples to Lin Jiyao and said sarcastically, "If you cry, make trouble and hang yourself, Lin Ji Yao, you are really capable."

These merciless, even cruel words made Lin Jiyao's left hand, which was about to take the bowl, froze in mid-air, and the half-expanded smile on his face remained at the corner of his mouth, forming a ridiculous arc.

"Xiao Xi," he didn't dare to look at the expression on Lin Xizhou's face, the last trace of blood faded from his pale and thin face in an instant, "I'm not—"

"You don't need to explain anything, just take a good rest." Lin Xizhou interrupted him, "I'll be on guard outside, call me if you need anything." compartment.

Helping Lin Jiyao to lie down on the bed without any explanation, Lin Xizhou went to the corridor outside the ward and called Cheng Hao.

"I saw the note," Cheng Hao said as soon as he connected, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

"No need," Lin Xizhou refused, "I won't be going back at night, you remember to feed the rice balls dog food."

Cheng Hao: "...It's rare for you to take the initiative to call me because of that son of a bitch."

"otherwise?"

Cheng Hao pursed his lips, but he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly became turbulent, "Hey, why do I suddenly have the feeling that my husband is on a business trip and asking his wife to do things?"

Lin Xizhou sneered: "Because you have a hole in your head."

Cheng Hao: "..."

After hanging up the phone on the other end, Cheng Hao sighed and turned to look at Fantuan.A cartoon was playing on the TV, it seemed to be called Super Marines or something, Fantuan was squatting on the sofa concentrating on watching a big fat man with two black spots in one white eye.

【If you're not happy, just bully me, who told me to like you so much. 】

Cheng Hao was taken aback.
