Gu Beilu regretted the moment he said this.

When he usually spoke in this tone in class, the children around him would be scared and stay away from him. Yu Xi was so easily wronged that he would be scared to tears.

But Yu Xi didn’t.

Yu Xi sniffed and reached out to pull his hand, but failed because his arm was too short.

Gu Beilu subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to reach it, but before he could do so, Yu Xi’s short hands fluttered in the air and grabbed the cuffs of his short-sleeved T-shirt, shaking it a few times.

It’s like a younger child is acting coquettishly towards an older child.

A spirit of unwillingness to admit defeat suddenly rose in Gu Beilu’s heart. He pulled Yu Xi’s hand down with his other hand and held it in his own.

Your hands are so small, don’t you usually eat? He frowned again.

Yu Xi smiled at him with his little front teeth showing: “You are also good, you are my first friend.”

Derek was the first person of his age that he had met so far, and they had secrets and shared food, and he liked this friend very much.

But Gu Beilu was not satisfied and asked again: “Best friend?”

Now Yu Xi didn’t know how to compare. After all, he only had this one friend, so he must be the best.

For just a few seconds, Gu Beilu stared closely at the changes in Yu Xi’s expression, until the other party nodded, he felt relieved.

But he was immediately angered by the next sentence.

Yu Xi said: “Let’s give Gu Beilu a small gift.”

Gu Beilu’s face fell completely.

As far as he could remember, he had never given his things to anyone else, let alone his best friend.

“Okay, I’ll give you a gift too, don’t be unhappy.” Before he showed his dissatisfaction, Yu Xi started to coax him.

In the past two days, Yu Xi has seen this expression on his face several times and knows that it is a manifestation of emotion. Children should be united and friendly, help each other and take care of each other, and not throw tantrums casually. This is what good children do.

Gu Beilu was still competing secretly. The blood of a top student had awakened at an inopportune time, and he had to compete for first or second place: “The gift you give me must be the biggest and best.”

Under his serious gaze, Yu Xi agreed and thought to himself that he had to prepare well, as humans seemed to like gifts very much.

Gu Beilu finally remembered at this moment that he was comparing himself, which seemed not very smart…but he could get two gifts this way.

After some inner struggle, he finally convinced himself.

When he looked at Yu Xi again, he decided to keep his identity secret for the time being, at least until he received the two gifts.

After the two children agreed to go to Yu’s house in the afternoon to prepare gifts, Yu Xi went home to rest.

After this morning tea, the housekeeper finally understood what his young master was doing. Seeing Gu Beilu standing at the door and repeatedly confirming the time of his visit with the little neighbor, asking all kinds of questions, as if he was afraid that the other party would break the contract, it seemed that he had made a new friend. The Gu family couple had always worried that their son would never make friends in his life, but now they can rest assured.

The housekeeper was planning to report the good news to the boss, but soon found out that their young master had been holding the person at the door for fifteen minutes, saying he was sending someone off. And it was basically just a question-and-answer session. The little neighbor was obviously tired, but he was still patiently answering some strange questions.

The housekeeper was worried that if this continued, the little neighbor would soon be scared away and would never dare to come again.

“If Xixi doesn’t come home soon, he won’t be able to eat and take a nap on time, and he won’t be able to get up and play with you in the afternoon.” The old housekeeper reminded Gu Beilu earnestly.

Gu Beilu rarely listened to him and did not refute him. He did not want Yu Xi to lose weight anymore. Yu Xi must eat well and sleep well.

After finally sending the person away, Gu Beilu immediately asked the housekeeper if there was any way to allow Yu Xi to eat and stay in their house.

The housekeeper was speechless for a moment, and said with a stiff upper lip: “Master, Yu Xi has his own parents and lives with them. Just like you live with your parents.”

“Can’t his parents come live here too?”

“I’m afraid that won’t work…” The butler sweat dropped as he listened to his confusing remarks.

Gu Beilu was already worried. Yu Xi was a very obedient person who could easily be cheated by bad guys. What if he was cheated outside?

He looked at his watch and said to the housekeeper, “Mr. Zhou, go give them a call to see if he’s arrived home.”

Housekeeper: …It’s less than ten meters away from the door, and this is a high-end residential area, so there’s no need for that.

But in order to end the conversation with Gu Beilu, the butler still walked towards the phone stand.

In the following time, Gu Beilu personally opened the high-end gift cabinet in his home and focused on choosing gifts.

When Gu’s father passed by, he adjusted his glasses and took ten seconds to confirm that this was his son.

“What are you doing?”

Gu Beilu was studying a box of precious Pu’er tea: “I have to visit the Yu this afternoon, and I can’t go empty-handed.”

Father Gu looked at the expensive cigarettes, alcohol and tea all over the floor and began to wonder.

“Are we going to the Yu family next door?”

“Um.”

“Did they invite you?”

“Yu Xi invited me.”

Father Gu saw through his son’s thoughts and continued to ask, “Oh? I remember you said at breakfast that you didn’t want to go play with them. How come? You got to know each other so quickly?”

“That happened in the morning.” Gu Beilu put down the tea leaves in his hand and looked up. “Yu Xi is my best friend. What do you usually bring when you visit your best friend’s house?”

Gu’s father never treated Gu Beilu as a child and started learning negotiation in kindergarten.

Gu Beilu made his first friend in life, which also made his father interested. He picked up the box of Pu’er tea that was selected, thinking that this boy really knew the goods and picked the best one.

He decided to teach his son a lesson: “What does it have to do with you what I bring? These things are not yours. Besides, is it appropriate for a child like you to give such an expensive gift?”

Gu Beilu decided to teach his father a lesson: “I just learned an idiom called courtesy and reciprocity. They came to give you a lot of gifts yesterday. This is my first time as a guest at their home. What I give you depends on your face.”

Father Gu cleared his throat and felt that it was not good for children to start studying too early.

“It’s not impossible. You can choose. But there is a condition. If you want one, you have to participate in a group activity.”

Gu Beilu looked at his triumphant expression, reached out to take the Pu’er tea back, and thought to himself that his father was truly a capitalist.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, Gu Beilu changed into a new white shirt, buttoned it up to the top, and asked the butler to take the gift and take him out.

The housekeeper almost thought his watch was slow: “Master, you guys agreed to meet at three o’clock, but it’s only two o’clock now.”

Gu Beilu: “We can’t be late, and what if we get delayed on the way?”

Butler: “Master, the door opposite is less than ten meters away. No matter how long we delay, it will take less than an hour.”

Gu Beilu insisted: “No, get out now.”

After Yu Xi got home, he had a nutritious lunch and then took a nice nap. Because he had swum a lot in the morning, his nap was longer than usual.

When he woke up, Gu Beilu had already read all the comic books in his children’s study.

When Yu Xi was brought down by his aunt, he was obviously a little confused. There were still marks on his face from sleeping, and two silly hairs stood up on his head. He looked cute and harmless.

Gu Beilu reached out and pinched his cheek again, and Yu Xi finally came to his senses.

“Derek, now you’re here, we can do handicrafts!” He suddenly got excited when he remembered that he and Derek were supposed to do handicrafts for Gu Beilu in the afternoon.

But when he took out a complete set of sand painting tools, Gu Beilu’s face turned green.

He didn’t know that Gu Beilu was a mysophobe and never played with sand.

Especially when I opened the sandbox, I accidentally spilled a handful on the ground.

Behind him, Gu Beilu was petrified.

Yu Xi was immersed in the joy of playing with sand. He loved playing with sand since he was a child, especially the colorful sand.

“Derek, please sit down.”

Yu Xi urged him while arranging the colors. When he looked up, he saw Gu Beilu sitting opposite him with white gloves on his hands.

Do humans need to wear gloves when painting?

Gu Beilu saw what he was thinking: “You draw yours, I’ll help you.”

When Yu Xi asked for blue, he carefully picked up the blue box and handed it to him. When Yu Xi finished using it, he quickly took the box back and put it back in its place, his movements were very cautious. He treated painting like a precise experiment, and not a grain of sand was spilled on the table from beginning to end.

Gu Beilu sat upright the whole time, staring at the sand, staring at Yu Xi, and making sure the table was clean. It was Yu Xi who was drawing, but he was more tired than Yu Xi.

Finally, when Yu Xi had filled in the last blank space, Gu Beilu closed all the boxes and picked up a grain of sand that had escaped the net on the table before he felt at ease to take off his gloves.

“Derek, let you choose first. Which one do you like?” Yu Xi showed his work happily.

He painted the underwater world with all kinds of marine life.

Just now, Gu Beilu’s attention was on the sand, but now he looked carefully and found that Yu Xi’s painting was very special. It’s not that the technique was very good, but there was a special beauty.

Every fish in the painting is different, but they are not just random drawings by a child. Each one is one he has seen in the marine encyclopedia. Even the size ratio of the fish, the spots and patterns on their bodies are correct. Especially the overall color matching of the picture, it is like a real underwater world.

It turned out that Yu Xi was such a talented kid. Gu Beilu was a little fascinated by him.

Until Yu Xi poked him: “Tell me, which one do you like?”

Gu Beilu retracted his gaze, turned his head and said to him: “Help me choose.”

Yu Xi immediately said: “Then the one on the left.”

Gu Beilu: “Do you like the left side?”

Yu Xi: “Well! Here are my favorite shells and pearls, look.”

When Yu Xi pointed it out to him, his expression and tone were very proud, as if he was showing him his own amazing treasure collection.

“Thank you, it’s a very good painting, I like it very much.” Gu Beilu took it. Both paintings were his anyway.

Fortunately, both paintings were his.

Yu Xi shook his head and asked him seriously, “Derek, do you think Gu Beilu will be willing to play with us after receiving the gift?”

“Why do you want to play with him so much?”

Fortunately, Gu Beilu is himself, otherwise he would really be irritated to death by Yu Xi’s repeated mention of his name.

“Not just him, I want to play with all the kids.” He really loves playing with kids his age.

Gu Beilu: “…”

I thank you.

Already getting angry.
