The fields are still green today, but there is no sunset glow in the sky above. The weather is gloomy and it feels like it is going to rain.
Lin Mingqi kept practicing his little swallow kite from a distance. After trying several times, the little swallow really couldn’t fly.
Xiao Shu was a little disappointed. He sat on the edge of the field next to his mother and sighed silently.
Gu Qianjing touched his smooth hair sympathetically. She had been thinking about one thing this afternoon. Now it was just her and Xiaoshu, so she cleared her throat and asked,
”Xiao Shu, let me ask you a question. How do you know that I’m not your mother?”
Gu Qianjing’s words would have frightened anyone else around, but Xiao Shu just blinked his big grape-like eyes and picked up the writing board hanging around his neck.
”For the first time, Xiao Shu broke the flower ping, and mom came back.”
”Really?” Gu Qianjing stopped stroking Xiaoshu’s head. She suppressed the shock in her heart. It turned out that Xiaoshu knew it so early. “Then how did Xiaoshu know it?” Gu Qianjing tried her best to control her tone so as not to scare Xiaoshu.
The writing board answered irrelevantly, “I always knew that my mother would come back. I am waiting for her!”
Gu Qianjing was startled again, her voice tense, “How did you know? Mom will come back?”
Xiao Shu pursed her lips and said nothing.
In the end, Gu Qianjing still didn’t tell Xiaoshu that she was not his biological mother, so Xiaoshu thought that the person who abused him was not his mother, and the person who was good to him was his real mother. This misunderstanding was pretty good.
”Then…Xiao Shu, Mommy has a request, can you agree to it?”
Xiao Shu nodded solemnly.
”Only the two of us know that mom is not mom, okay? This is mom’s secret. If others know about it, they might capture mom and study her.”
Xiao Shu frowned and nodded very seriously, then stretched out his little finger to his mother.
Gu Qianjing stretched out her hand and hooked his little finger, “Let’s make a pinky promise for a hundred years!”
Lin Mingqi dragged the little swallow with a broken tail back to the edge of the field with a droopy face. His handsome face was now filled with a big “sad” expression.
If I had known earlier I would have driven out to buy a kite. That old Yang always gives bad advice.
The three of them sat side by side on the edge of the field, with the kite next to them that not only looked like a silver carp but also couldn’t fly. Lin Mingqi sighed, and Xiao Shu also sighed silently.
”Hey, do you know?” Gu Qianjing tried to find something else to relieve the low pressure, “There is a kind of lucky grass growing on the ridge over here. Whoever finds it will be super lucky!”
The two men looked up stupidly and wrote on the tablet, “Then let’s go find it!”
Gu Qianjing pointed at the clovers around her and said, “These leaves have three leaves, right? But there are also some with four leaves. The four-leaf ones are lucky clover. Now let’s start the competition. Whoever finds the lucky clover first will be the winner today!”
Then the three of them lay on the grass with their butts sticking up and began looking for lucky clovers with great interest.
As the sky gradually darkened, people working in the fields began to return home one after another. Some farmers even said in dialect, “Whose three sheep are those? They are still grazing in the fields so late!”
Another woman carrying a hoe replied, “I don’t know. It’s dark now and no one is looking for it.”
In the live broadcast room,
【Hahahahaha】
【Hahahahahahahahahahaha】
[Why don’t I go find these three sheep and take them home, hahahaha. ]
[Your wishful thinking! ]
After searching for a long time, her waist felt a little sore. Gu Qianjing sat up and looked at the two idiots whose faces were about to stick to the ground. She regretted that she should not have mentioned the matter of looking for the lucky clover. The Lin family has been stubborn for generations, and now they are unwilling to go back until they find it.
Just at this moment, when she lowered her head, Gu Qianjing’s eyes suddenly lit up. She carefully pulled away the grass and counted carefully. This little grass really had 4 leaves.
While Xiao Shu wasn’t paying attention, she pulled out the four-leaf clover and threw it into Lin Mingqi’s hand.
”Xiao Shu, look, Daddy found a four-leaf clover.” Gu Qianjing pointed at the small four-leaf clover in Lin Mingqi’s hand with surprise.
Xiao Shu quickly crawled to Lin Mingqi’s side, pointed at the petals of the four-leaf clover with his tender white little fingers and counted them carefully twice, then raised his little face in surprise and gave his father a thumbs up.
”Wow, Dad is awesome!” Gu Qianjing also spoke up, “Since you found the four-leaf clover, we’ll forgive you for making a kite that can’t fly!”
Xiao Shu gave a thumbs up again and picked up the writing tablet.
”Forgive you!”
Lin Mingqi looked at Gu Qianjing with complicated eyes for a while, then stood up and took a breath, then bent down and rubbed Xiaoshu’s hair a few times. The tingling feeling that suddenly surged in his heart was very strange.
”Let’s go!” Gu Qianjing stood up and patted the grass debris on her body. “It’s going to rain if you don’t go back.”
Just as the electric car was halfway there, a thunderclap suddenly exploded in the sky.
”Hold on steady.” Gu Qianjing shouted, “I’m going to start speeding up!”
Hearing his mother’s words, Xiao Shu gripped the handlebars tightly. Lin Mingqi had nowhere to put his hands, so he hesitated for a moment and pinched the fabric of Gu Qianjing’s shirt on her waist.
Gu Qianjing’s “tsk” sound came in the wind, and Lin Mingqi immediately retracted his hand as if he was scalded, and held his thigh by himself.
Then, after that “tsk”, Gu Qianjing said, “Xiao Shu, shut your mouth. I’ve told you so many times not to eat wind, it will give you a stomachache.”
Xiao Shu, who was standing on the pedal, closed his mouth obediently. My mom is the best. She can tell from behind that I am eating the wind!
After rushing for a long time, the electric bike finally got back to the B&B before it rained.
After returning to the room, Lin Mingqi asked Gu Qianjing to take a hot bath first. Although she was not caught in the rain, she felt cold after being blown by the cool breeze all the way back.
Gu Qianjing took out the clothes to change into, “Xiao Shu, do you want to wash with mommy?”
Xiao Shu shook his head. He was a little boy and couldn’t take a bath with girls.
Gu Qianjing smiled and went into the bathroom.
Xiao Shu took the small four-leaf clover out of his pocket and looked at it under the desk lamp. The light made the petals appear translucent.
After looking at it for a while, Xiao Shu carefully placed the four-leaf clover on the table and picked up the writing board.
”Dad, Mom said I can make my own decisions about my own things, right?” Xiao Shu patted Lin Mingqi’s thigh. Lin Mingqi looked away from the email.
”Yeah, Mom is right.”
Writing board, “Four-leaf clover, I want to give it to Ziheng.”
Lin Mingqi stroked Xiao Shu’s head a few times and said, “Okay, go ahead!”
Handwriting board, “Dad, help me open the door!” Xiao Shu was a little afraid of Li Yunhua, so he thought about it and decided to pull his dad in.
Lin Mingqi felt a little awkward facing Li Yunhua alone, but it was hard to refuse such a small request from his son. He stood up and said, “Come on, Dad will go with you.”
The door of room 201 rang three times. Li Yunhua opened the door from the inside and saw Lin Mingqi standing outside. A sleepwalking look appeared on her face.
”Mingqi?”
Lin Mingqi took a step back to increase the distance between them. “Xiao Shu needs help from Zi Heng. Please call him.”
From 202 to 201, in just a few steps, Lin Mingqi seemed like a different person. All the softness in his body faded away, replaced by his usual sharpness and alienation, as if the person standing opposite him was not Li Yunhua, but a life-and-death competitor in the business world.
It’s not even 9 o’clock yet, and the live broadcast room is still open. Netizens saw this and started discussing it in the comment section.
[Looking at Li Yunhua’s expression just now, she thought Mr. Lin was here to see her. Hahahahahaha, I am dying of laughter! ]
[It feels like a cold and domineering CEO. It turns out that CEO Lin’s gentleness is only for our sister Qian. ]
[No, no, no, how can Mr. Lin be called gentle in front of Sister Qian? He is obviously just silly and cute, hahahaha! ]
[Li Yunhua, call Ziheng out quickly. Stop wasting time and deliberately staying with our CEO Lin. It’s so annoying! ]
Li Yunhua concealed her inner disappointment, turned around and called Xiu Ziheng out.
Xiao Shu took out the handwriting board that he had prepared long ago, “Brother, go together, okay?”
Xiu Ziheng looked up at Li Yunhua, lowered his head, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
Li Yunhua’s eyes stayed on Lin Mingqi’s face. She reached out and pushed Xiu Ziheng’s shoulder, saying gently, “Go, go down and play with your brother for a while.”
The two children walked away holding hands. Lin Mingqi bowed slightly, greeted Li Yunhua very politely, and turned back to the room.
”Xiao Shu, why are you looking for me?” Xiu Ziheng sat on the cushion in the garden, kicking his dangling feet restlessly.
Xiao Shu took out the four-leaf clover and carefully placed it in Xiu Ziheng’s palm, then wrote on the writing board,
”Lucky Clover, this is for you.”
”Lucky clover?” After seeing the content on the handwriting board, Xiu Ziheng’s little hand holding the four-leaf clover also became pious, “What’s its use?”
Handwriting board, “It can ensure that your mother will come back soon!”
”Really?” Xiu Ziheng lowered his head and kissed the ordinary-looking grass, but he still had hope in his heart. He hoped that his biological mother, whom he had never met, would appear, and that she would be a good person like Aunt Gu.
Uncle Yang was wandering around the yard arranging the flowers and plants. Seeing the two little fools still sitting in the garden, Uncle Yang walked into the dining room and took out two candies from the sugar jar on the wall cabinet.
”Here, I’ll give each of you a candy.”
The two kids were a little overwhelmed when they were suddenly given candies. They rubbed their hands together, not knowing where to put them. Xiu Ziheng was so nervous that he stuttered. He looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy, as if Uncle Yang wanted to harm him.
”Here.” Uncle Yang stuffed the candy directly into the child’s hand, “Eat it here and don’t take it back. Don’t tell mom.”
”Don’t tell mom?” Xiu Ziheng was obviously shocked by Uncle Yang’s suggestion, “Mom said I have to tell her everything!”
”Nonsense.” Uncle Yang peeled a candy and threw it into his mouth with a look of disdain. “Children who listen too much to their mothers will have no future when they grow up. They should be naughty when they should be naughty. Only then will they have a future when they grow up!”
When the two children saw Uncle Yang eating candy, they swallowed unconsciously. Then Xiao Shu took the lead in peeling the candy and putting it in his mouth.
Xiu Ziheng hesitated for a moment, but couldn’t resist the temptation of the candy. He gritted his teeth and put the candy into his mouth. The sweet taste was both unfamiliar and made him very happy.
After finishing the candy, Xiu Ziheng felt scared. He pulled Xiao Shu’s sleeve and said, “Brother, do you really not need to tell mom?”
Xiao Shu licked the sweetness on his lips and picked up the writing board. “I will tell my mother. My mother won’t scold me.”
”Really?” Xiu Ziheng shook his head. “You secretly ate candy outside, and your mother wouldn’t scold you? I don’t believe it! Unless you let me see it!”
Xiao Shu jumped off the stone bench and made a pinky promise to Xiu Ziheng.
