Have you ever seen someone plucking hair from a tiger’s head?

　　Shen Mingzhou and others have witnessed it today——

　　At first, he was shocked by what Shen Chu said, and then he saw Shen Songguo’s reaction, which was a bit complicated. And then, he saw Shen Chu running over with his short legs, and not only did he climb up Shen Songguo’s legs, but he also got to see his grandfather’s dimples?

　　This is not just plucking hair from a tiger’s head, it’s literally digging the dirt on Tai Sui’s head!^[1]It means to cross someone that’s much more powerful/influencial than you

　　”Hey, baby, this isn’t good!”

　　After being shocked, Shen Mingzhou quickly said, “Get off grandpa’s lap.”

　　”But I want to see the dimples.”

　　Perhaps because he saw the corners of his mouth pushed up and down, unable to stay fixed at all, and because he was tired of holding up the fat boy’s arms, Shen Chu grumbled, leaned back, and leaned into Shen Songguo’s arms, and sighed in a mock manner –

　　”Grandpa, you don’t even smile?”

　　”I want to see dimples, Grandpa, do you have dimples?”

　　As he spoke, he raised his head from the bottom to the top, as if he was negotiating: “Grandpa, can you smile by yourself?”

　　”Like me.”

　　Shen Chu bared his teeth at Shen Songguo and rubbed his face with his hands: “I don’t even have dimples.”

　　”Grandpa, do you know if you have dimples?”

　　The child in his arms was chattering away. The bright and soft touch on his face had not yet completely faded, and a full pound of weight was pressing on his arms again, as if he trusted him completely. He spread out his chubby hands and feet, and curled up so tightly, filling his arms so full that if he didn’t hold him carefully, he would fall off his body if he moved.

　　But Shen Chu was not honest. When he asked this and that, he kept shaking his feet and raising his little head, which made Shen Songguo want to put on a fierce face, but in the end he couldn’t do it and had to stretch out his hands to cover the ball in his arms.

　　When they came to their senses, the father and son seemed to be in a very close relationship.

　　Shen Songguo’s face was frozen, and he didn’t know how to react or what to say.

　　”Okay, baby, stop bothering grandpa.”

　　”Oops?”

　　Shen Chu was still staring at Shen Songguo, but someone dragged him up by the arm.

　　Usually, the only one who hugged him like this was Shen Mingzhou, and when he looked back, it was true.

　　It was not known when Shen Mingzhou came over. After picking him up, he went to look at Shen Songguo. The father and son looked at each other, and for some reason, there was an unspeakable silence between them.

　　The incident ended in an incomplete way, and Shen Chu still didn’t see whether Shen Songguo had dimples on his face.

　　Moreover, a week was about to pass, and in the remaining days, no one knew if Shen Songguo had something to do or what. Except for eating, he rarely appeared in public. Shen Mingzhou and Su Luoyue also seemed very quiet.

　　In such an atmosphere, Shen Chu naturally behaved well. He didn’t act like a troublemaker or cause any trouble, and became well-behaved.

　　Not to mention Xie Shiming and others.

　　Shen Shuo and the other two returned to their original daily routine when they stayed in the old house, and Xie Shiming was able to adapt to it no matter what.

　　On the last day, Shen Songguo stood by the window of the study on the third floor, and Zhou Bo stood behind him.

　　”Master, the young master and the young mistress are leaving.”

　　”Several young masters are still asking about you.”

　　Shen Songguo paused, then hummed, and after a while, he spoke again: “Old Zhou, do you think these two days are… quiet?”

　　”Yeah, quiet.”

　　“Is it too quiet?”

　　Shen Songguo’s tone seemed to be filled with some doubt: “Or am I just too old and hard of hearing to hear much?”

　　Uncle Zhou: “Master, isn’t it the same as before?”

　　”Yeah, same as before.”

　　Shen Songguo suddenly sighed: “But why do I feel…”

　　Why did he feel a little uncomfortable?

　　”Do you think it was better before or now?” Shen Songguo suddenly asked again.

　　Of course, Butler Zhou was not stupid enough to think that the “now” that Shen Songguo asked about was referring to the past few days of silence, so he thought about it and replied, “I can’t really say that, but I know there is a saying.”

　　”Hmm? What?”

　　Shen Songguo looked back.

　　Zhou Bo smiled and said, “Isn’t there a saying that life can never stay the same? Isn’t that right?”

　　Shen Songguo glanced at Zhou Bo, then suddenly shook his head and smiled: “You are good at talking.”

　　”oops!”

　　Shen Songguo was almost startled and couldn’t help but glared at Zhou Bo: “What are you doing? Why are you so startled!”

　　Uncle Zhou: “Master, you should let Master Chuchu see this smile of yours.”

　　Shen Songguo: “…”

　　”He has been talking about you these past two days. He is about to die. Don’t you want to go see him?”

　　Shen Songguo sighed: “That brat…”

　　…

　　”Dad, aren’t we going to wait for Grandpa?”

　　Shen Chu stuck to Shen Mingzhou’s legs, looked up and asked, “Dad, do you want to go say hello to grandpa or something?”

　　Shen Mingzhou felt strange for some reason. It should be said that he had been strange for the past few days. He didn’t know what was wrong. He did talk to Zhou Bo about it, and it should have been passed on to his father indirectly. But asking him to go find Shen Songguo now…

　　”Grandpa hasn’t shown up much these past two days.”

　　Shen Mingzhou squatted down and looked at Shen Chu level. He couldn’t help but sighed: “What if it gets unpleasant again?”

　　Shen Chu blinked, and suddenly poked Shen Mingzhou’s nose with a finger: “Dad is so timid.”

　　Shen Mingzhou narrowed his eyes: “Why do you say that about Dad?”

　　”Be careful or I’ll tickle you!”

　　As he spoke, he got started.

　　Shen Chu giggled and dodged twice: “But this time, the brothers have to go with us too, we all have to leave.”

　　Shen Mingzhou paused and was stunned for a moment.

　　Before he could react, a hand patted his shoulder. When he turned around, he found it was Su Luoyue.

　　”Come on, let’s go upstairs together.”

　　Shen Mingzhou stood up, rubbed the tip of his nose, and asked in a low voice: “Are you okay? In fact, I can go by myself–“

　　”What are you talking about?”

　　Su Luoyue interrupted Shen Mingzhou, glared at him helplessly, and patted Shen Mingzhou’s head: “Alright, stop wasting time with me. I have seen and experienced everything in the entertainment industry. What’s the big deal about this family matter? Besides, I’m not that petty and fragile. It’s not a big deal.”

　　”Yes, yes.”

　　Shen Mingzhou nodded repeatedly, smiled and moved closer to Su Luoyue: “Our Yueyue is the most generous and strong one.”

　　”That is.”

　　As they were talking, the two of them seemed to feel something was wrong and turned their heads away.

　　They saw Shen Chu standing below with his arms folded, staring at the two of them. Xie Shiming was standing behind them, holding two children’s suitcases, also looking at them. Shen Yi and Shen Sui next to them stopped arguing, and even Shen Shuo next to them glanced over here several times.

　　Shen Mingzhou and Su Luoyue: “…Uh.”

　　Shen Chu clicked his tongue twice: “I need to take a bath tonight.”

　　Shen Mingzhou: “Why?”

　　”I got goosebumps.”

　　Hey! Who did this little fat boy learn to tease his parents like this?

　　This time Shen Mingzhou really wanted to tickle Shen Chu.

　　At this moment——

　　”cough!”

　　When I looked up, I saw Shen Songguo and Zhou Bo coming down from the stairs together.

　　”Dad!”

　　Shen Mingzhou didn’t expect that before he went upstairs, he actually waited for Shen Songguo to come downstairs by himself. Realizing something, his eyes became hot: “Dad, we were just about to go upstairs to say goodbye to you, but we didn’t expect you and Uncle Zhou to come down…”

　　Shen Songguo looked at Shen Mingzhou’s demeanor and couldn’t help but sigh. Then he seemed a little uncomfortable and a little uncomfortable, but he still raised his hand and patted Shen Mingzhou on the shoulder: “At least… I’ll see you off.”

　　I’m not used to hearing this and I’m not used to it.

　　”Dad……!”

　　Now, Shen Mingzhou’s nose also felt sore.

　　Just as he was about to speak again, Shen Songguo slapped his face. The old man had already returned to his serious expression: “Okay, you are an adult now, and the children are still here, you should keep it to yourself!”

　　”……oh.”

　　”cough.”

　　Shen Songguo cleared his throat and looked at the people present, especially the children. “Come over next time… I mean, I will ask an expert to come over before next month.”

　　”Expert?”

　　Shen Mingzhou wondered: “What expert?”

　　”Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to learn this or that again. It’s just that I… Old Zhou suggests that the rules of the old house should be changed.”

　　Zhou Bo next to him glanced at Shen Songguo, coughed lightly, and immediately nodded to the few people.

　　Yes, that’s right.

　　Young Master, Young Madam, and all the young masters, please believe that it is me!

　　Shen Mingzhou and Su Luoyue: “…”

　　Shen Chu and his brothers: “…”

　　”Hmm…how did Uncle Zhou come up with this suggestion?”

　　Shen Mingzhou touched his nose and asked, “Change the rules of the old house? Then in which direction should we change it?”

　　”Which direction should we change to? I haven’t decided yet—”

　　“Ahem!”

　　Zhou Bo stood behind Shen Songguo and started coughing.

　　Shen Songguo paused for two seconds before speaking again: “Anyway, you will know when you come next month.”

　　”You^[2]We can’t come again this month?”

　　A tender little voice sounded.

　　Shen Songguo looked down and asked, “Do you want to come again this month?”

　　Shen Chu tilted his head: “Grandpa, are you going to change the rules?”

　　”Um……”

　　”Can I watch cartoons now?”

　　”Children can’t watch it all the time.”

　　Shen Songguo coughed again: “But within the specified time… you can watch it.”

　　”If I can’t sleep at night, can I stay awake?”

　　”Don’t go to bed too late, and don’t stay up late.”

　　”Then I want to learn fishing, grandpa, can you accompany me?”

　　”I……”

　　Shen Songguo was stunned, thinking that Shen Chu would make another request, but it turned out to be this, which made him unable to react.

　　Go fishing with this kid?

　　”Brother, can you come too?”

　　Without waiting for Shen Songguo to answer, Shen Chu turned around to look at Xie Shiming, and took Xie Shiming’s hand to recommend him: “I tell you, fishing is fun. Dad goes out occasionally, and comes back either laughing or crying. It’s amazing!”

　　”I’ve wanted to try this for a long time—”

　　”Wait, what do you mean I’m either laughing or crying?”

　　Shen Mingzhou was so amused that he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. What was “so long ago”? How old are you this year, baby?

　　Shen Chu ignored Shen Mingzhou and went to pull Shen Yi, Shen Sui, and Shen Shuo to sell his fish. He had tried fishing once before and he caught the biggest one that time. This time he wanted to bring all of them over to show off his skills, ha, ha!

　　After the sales promotion, I went to see Shen Songguo again.

　　”Grandpa, will you accompany us?”

　　Well, this time there’s an extra “us”.

　　Shen Songguo himself went fishing occasionally, but he had never thought about it, nor had he tried to take his children with him. It was something he had never done before, so he was a little stunned for a moment, but when he met Shen Chu’s bright eyes, he came to his senses and nodded subconsciously, and said –

　　”There’s a place to fish nearby.”

　　As soon as he finished speaking, the little boy raised his hand and cheered.

　　”Yeah, Grandpa is awesome!”

　　”Then we’ll come see grandpa after the holiday!”

　　Shen Shuo and the others nodded as well, having no objection to this, and they were actually looking forward to it. Their eyes looking at Shen Songguo were brighter than ever before, but compared to Shen Chu’s “extroverted” expression, they were all a bit “introverted”.

　　But Shen Songguo also received it.

　　For some reason, he also began to look forward to it.

　　After reaching an “agreement”, when it was time to say goodbye, Shen Songguo and Zhou Bo came out together and stood in front of the door to see the family off. Shen Chu was held by Su Luoyue’s hand, and before getting into the car, he looked back at Shen Songguo.

　　Shen Songguo was about to ask what was wrong when he saw the child raise his other hand, put it to his mouth, mmm~, and then waved at him: “Grandpa, goodbye, see you next time!”

　　Shen Mingzhou and his companions said goodbye again before getting in the car and leaving.

　　When the car drove away and the exhaust fumes could no longer be seen, Shen Songguo did not retract his gaze, but suddenly asked, “Did you hear that?”

　　Zhou Bo: “?”

　　Shen Songguo had a cough today. He cleared his throat and said, “The four words the little guy said.”

　　Uncle Zhou: “Goodbye?”

　　Shen Songguo: “…”

　　He turned around and glared at Zhou Bo: “Go back a little earlier! You have such a bad memory at your age!”

　　”Master, you also said that I am old…”

　　Isn’t it normal to have a bad memory?

　　Seeing that Shen Songguo was about to glare at him again, Zhou Bo quickly smiled and said, “I know, it was Young Master Chuchu who praised you.”

　　Shen Songguo nodded in satisfaction, but paused, raised his hand hesitantly, and gestured to his mouth: “But what does this gesture mean? Mua? That little guy won’t call me mom, right?”

　　Uncle Zhou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Master, that means kiss. The young master is blowing you a kiss to say goodbye.”

　　After he finished speaking, there was no response from Shen Songguo. Zhou Bo looked over in confusion and saw Shen Songguo turn around. The “coughing syndrome” could no longer relieve him. He could only turn his back to Zhou Bo and walk back in a circle. He tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth and used a voice to cover it up: “This child, how can he be so disrespectful!”

　　”By the way, Lao Zhou, is your grandson like you?”

　　”Oh, did he tell you those four words too?”

　　”You, how about learning from me?”

　　Zhou Bo: “…”

　　Thank you, please take care of yourself.
