Sweeter than honey, more fragrant than cream, and softer than marshmallow.

This was the conclusion Gu Beilu came to after licking his lips and savoring the experience.

He recalled the day in the small space, Yu Xi leaned on him, worried that he would ruin the clown’s performance, so he curled up into a small ball and didn’t move. Because he was nervous, he didn’t even dare to breathe too heavily, and his face turned red without him realizing it, and his eyes were filled with tears.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind that no matter what he did to Yu Xi at that time, Yu Xi would not resist.

Like taking a bite of a sweet and soft cheek.

This idea had been bothering him all day, and finally he had the chance to realize it.

Yu Xi didn’t know how to resist in his sleep. He didn’t even open his eyes. He just muttered and pushed away the warm human-shaped pillow beside him.

The sleeping little person was not aware of the severity of the situation, and the tent was shaking with every movement. Gu Beilu pulled the sleeping person back and held him in his arms. The temperature was low in winter, and his body temperature was high. Yu Xi was comfortable in his arms, so he did not push him away.

Now Yu Xi was fast asleep, but he didn’t want to sleep yet.

He felt that the last bite was not enough and wanted to take another bite, but he was afraid of waking Yu Xi up. After all, he had just managed to coax him to sleep with great difficulty.

This was the happiest moment for him today. Without those annoying kids, only he and Yu Xi were together. This was enough to prove that he was different from others and that he was Yu Xi’s best friend.

He was lost in thought when suddenly the tent curtain moved and a chubby hand stretched out.

Gu Beilu immediately became alert and pulled Yu Xi’s quilt up like a protective child, covering half of her face.

Then, Shen Di stuck his head through the curtain, adjusted his glasses, and after seeing clearly who was lying next to Yu Xi, he opened his mouth in surprise.

He originally couldn’t sleep and wanted to come over to play with Yu Xi, but he didn’t expect Gu Beilu to be one step ahead of him.

Gu Beilu stared at him, his eyes were not friendly at all. Yu Xi was sleeping soundly beside him, with half of his furry head exposed.

Shen Di curled his lips, very disappointed and a little angry. He was disappointed that he was eager to find Yu Xi, but Yu Xi fell asleep. He was angry that Yu Xi was sleeping well, why did Gu Beilu come to his bed!

But he didn’t dare to show his dissatisfaction. After all, Yu Xi usually loved to stick to Gu Beilu, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with sleeping in a tent.

Gu Beilu was afraid that this four-eyed loud speaker would wake Yu Xi up. He stretched out his hand to protect Yu Xi as if he was guarding his territory, and glared at Shen Di several times, his eyes full of warnings, until the other party left the tent in embarrassment.

Gu Beilu felt relieved when he heard that there was no more noise outside.

He fell asleep very late that night, but was still woken up in the middle of the night.

Yu Xi slept soundly in the first half of the night, but was not very restful in the second half.

Gu Beilu felt that he had not slept for long when he felt a tightening around his waist, and a pair of soft little hands suddenly pulled his clothes tightly. He opened his eyes and saw Yu Xi’s little face close at hand.

His chubby little face was twisted into a ball, his eyes were tightly closed, and even his thick eyelashes could not hide his nervousness.

The little guy, who was obviously still in his sleep, was mumbling something to himself. Gu Beilu leaned in to listen and could vaguely make out a few fragmented words.

Yu Xi said: “I won’t go back… I don’t like the hospital… I’ll be obedient… I want to leave……”

Gu Beilu’s brows suddenly frowned, and he felt his left hand moving down his back. His right hand was pinching his soft, sweaty little hand, and their foreheads were against each other, coaxing him, “Don’t be afraid, we won’t go back.”

After a while, Yu Xi’s expression finally relaxed, and he fell asleep with even breathing.

The next day, he didn’t remember having a nightmare at all, and when he woke up he happily started opening his presents.

It was nice to have a birthday gift. He liked every gift from the other kids, especially Gu Beilu’s big sports car. The car only listened to him and called him “little master”.

Yu Xi found it so magical that he drove the car around the living room again and again.

He only needs to tell the car to turn left or right, and the car will automatically start running. Gu Beilu added an intelligent system to the car, which will stop in advance when encountering obstacles, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.

Yu Xi made sounds for the car by making “beep beep beep” sounds and was having a lot of fun.

If it were yesterday, Gu Beilu would have been so happy that he could have done three more sets of questions if he knew that Yu Xi liked the gift he gave him the most.

But today he was worried and ran to the kitchen to find Yu’s mother who was boiling milk.

“Aunt.”

Mother Yu turned around and saw a little adult with a bad look on his face. She asked worriedly, “Derek? Why aren’t you playing in the living room?”

“I have something to ask you.” From what he saw in Yu Xi’s sleep talk yesterday, he thought that he didn’t want to go back to Country M. It was probably because he was hospitalized for a long time when he was a child, so he inevitably associated Country M with the hospital.

It must be that the adults mentioned to him that they wanted to take him back. Half a year ago, he heard Gu’s mother and Yu’s mother talking about it, saying that the Yu family’s return to China was only temporary.

Gu Beilu was very anxious, he didn’t want Yu Xi to go back. He knew Yu Xi didn’t want to go back either, otherwise he wouldn’t have had such a nightmare.

He hates adults the most. They always tell children to be obedient and can’t hear their own voices at all.

Mother Yu knew Gu Beilu’s personality. Since he wanted to talk to her about something, it must not be a trivial matter. This child was very concerned, so it was a good thing for him to talk to someone instead of keeping everything in his heart.

She took the small pan of milk off the stove, leaned over and saw the dark circles under his eyes, which made her even more worried. “What’s wrong Derek? What do you want to ask Auntie?”

Gu Beilu looked at the gentle and elegant Yu’s mother, and hesitant inexplicably arose in his heart. Thinking of Yu Xi’s soft and aggrieved dream talk last night, he felt that as long as Yu Xi didn’t want to go back, Yu’s mother shouldn’t force him to go back. But just in case, he still had to confirm it clearly.

“Aunt, do you and uncle have a plan to let Yu Xi study in the country for a long time?” He was prepared. If Yu Xi was to be taken back, how would he stop it?

Gu Beilu looked serious and seemingly inconspicuous, but Yu’s mother was good at dealing with children, and she still saw a hint of nervous anticipation in his eyes.

Now she understood and relaxed, she smiled and said, “Of course. Yu Xi adapted very well in China and made a lot of friends. He said he likes it here and you guys very much, and he doesn’t want to go back.”

Gu Beilu thought about it seriously and said, “You mean, he told you that he didn’t want to go back, and you agreed?”

Mother Yu nodded and said gently, “In fact, he didn’t need to say it. His father and I can see that it is best for him to stay here.”

After hearing this answer, Gu Beilu was visibly relieved and in a much better mood.

He tossed and turned for most of the night. He had already decided that Yu Xi was his best friend. If Yu Xi went back like this, he would not be able to accept it.

“So Derek, don’t worry, you can always be good friends. Don’t think too much, and sleep well tonight.” Yu’s mother gave him another reassurance.

As a mother, she is also very pleased that both children are each other’s first good friend, and she is well aware of how important childhood friendship is to a child’s growth.

Gu Beilu, who was seen through, pursed his lips into a straight line, feeling a little ashamed. He was used to preparing for the worst, so he often assumed the worst of others. He now felt that he shouldn’t have thought of Yu’s father and mother as being so unreasonable.

Only now did he finally understand how Yu Xi developed such a lovely personality.

He had never been close to his parents since he was a child, and was only used to negotiating. But Yu Xi was different, and only parents like the Yu family could raise a kind and warm child like Yu Xi.

After comforting Gu Beilu, Yu’s mother said, “Derek, Auntie just wants to ask you a favor. Your uncle Yu and I have to go abroad recently to do some work there. I have told your mother that Yu Xi will live in your house during this period. It’s just… this is the first time we have been away from Yu Xi for so long, and I am worried that he will not be used to it. Can you help your uncle and aunt take care of him?”

When they came back, the foreign company gave them a six-month stay, and they could go back at any time within the six months. Now that they have decided to stay in China, they must go back to deal with some formalities.

Gu Beilu straightened his back unconsciously.

His first reaction was, can Yu Xi live with him?

“Don’t worry, Auntie, there will be absolutely no problem. Leave Yu Xi to me.” With such a good thing, he had to agree immediately, as if he was afraid that the adults would regret it if he asked one more question.
