Just in time, the school bell rang.
Shi Yunnan looked at the little boy who was obediently looking for the teacher to line up for school, "What's his name?"
"The family calls him Little Goldfish, and his real name is Luo Jinyu."
"It's a cute nickname." Shi Yunnan smiled and asked casually, "The child's last name with Luo's family? Where are his grandparents?"
"The head of the family persuaded the second elder of the in-laws to take over the young master very early to raise him."
The Luo family is powerful, and now Luo Lingsheng is in charge, who doesn't want to send their children to a higher place? As for the surname change, it was also the result of Luo Lingsheng's initiative to exchange benefits.
Uncle Qin said, "Second young master, wait here for a while, I will pick up the young master."
"good."
Shi Yunnan stood there for a while, and saw Uncle Qin led the little goldfish out.
Taking a closer look, Luo Jinyu's face was chubby, with a little milk fat. He was wearing a little yellow hat equipped with a kindergarten, and several strands of dull hair floated out, giving him a cute look.
"Little Master, come here, Grandpa Qin will show you someone." Uncle Qin looked at Shi Yunnan, and suddenly became a little confused about what to call him.
For the time being, the head of the family and the Second Young Master Shi are still verbally 'marriage agreement'.
Shi Yunnan felt that the child was very interesting, and took the initiative to bend down and squeeze his little milk fat, "Little goldfish, when we first met, call me brother Sheng and buy you candy."
"No." The little goldfish refused with a stern face, and walked outside with a small schoolbag on his back.
"..."
Shi Yunnan shrunk on the child rarely, and stood up dumbfounded.
The two walked out with the little goldfish, and Uncle Qin explained in a low voice, "Second Master Shi, don't take it seriously, the little goldfish grew up beside the owner of the house, so his temperament is more mature than normal children."
Shi Yunnan didn't take this to heart at all, and hummed, "I see, it must be Luo Lingsheng, the uncle who keeps his face straight all day long. He is a child who imitates and becomes a little adult."
Qin Bo smiled and did not refute.
It is said that the nephew is like an uncle, but now this young master is a replica of the owner of the family when he was a child.
The car is still parked in the old place.
The little goldfish walking at the front kicked on his short legs, trying to get on the car.
Seeing this, Shi Yunnan approached and grabbed his collar and mentioned it, "Go, go up!"
"..."
The little goldfish who suddenly vacated the air was dumbfounded, and Luo Lingsheng, who was about to reach out to hold the baby, was also stunned for half a second, and a hint of helplessness flickered in his eyes, "Second Master Shi, how can you carry the baby like that?"
I don't know, I thought it was pulling the back of the little milk cat's neck.
Shi Yunnan shrugged, "I'm sorry, I'm inexperienced, it's just easy."
The little goldfish climbed into the child safety seat in the back row, blushing slightly, "Uncle, is he your friend?"
When Shi Yunnan heard the words, he raised his eyebrows and pondered—
More than just friends
Then you have to play 'boyfriend', or even 'the other half'.
Just as he was about to tease the child again, he saw Luo Lingsheng turn around and instructed word by word, "It's family, he will live with us in the future."
… family
When Shi Yunnan heard this long-lost and somewhat unfamiliar name, a smile suddenly condensed on the corner of his mouth. He lowered his eyes to cover it up, his hands hidden in his trouser pockets unknowingly huddled together.
"Why didn't you get in the car?" Luo Lingsheng asked.
Shi Yunnan raised his head quickly, the corners of his mouth turned up again, "I didn't expect Mr. Luo to enter the play faster than me."
This is the first day we know each other, and we can call them 'family'.
Luo Lingsheng was silent, and looked at Shi Yunnan for a moment—
The other party just stood beside the car door and smiled at him, no matter how well he concealed it, there was still a trace of loneliness and consternation in his smile that he hadn't had time to take back.
Luo Lingsheng pretended not to notice and looked away, and called out his full name for the first time, "Shi Yunnan."
"Ok?"
"Get in the car, go home."
Six words, like a spell.
Shi Yunnan couldn't help laughing out loud, and suddenly felt very enjoyable.
Pies will occasionally fall from the sky, but no, he picked up a very talkative marriage partner for nothing.
…
The reason Luo Lingsheng's 'engagement dinner' at Shi Jiaying could not be carried out is very simple—
Although the two have verbally agreed on a flash marriage, they haven't really reached this stage yet, and the time is too rushed, which makes it easy to appear 'fake' to outsiders.
After going back and forth, the two reached a consensus invisibly, and moved this matter back for the time being.
Dinner is arranged at home.
The little goldfish scooped his fish custard indiscriminately, and couldn't help but glance at Shi Yunnan.
Shi Yunnan looked at him for a while with his small eyes, and poked, "Little Goldfish, do you think I'm very good-looking? So you like me very much?"
The last five words, biting hard and slowly, are obviously deliberately teasing the child.
"I didn't." The little goldfish blushed inexplicably, and hurriedly buried his head and pulled the fish soup in the bowl, pretending that nothing happened.
Shi Yunnan stared at his bulging little milk fat and tried his best not to laugh. He could see it clearly - this little goldfish was pretending to be a mature child, and he was a curious baby at heart.
Uncle Qin suddenly expressed concern, "Master Shi, is the food unpalatable? I don't think you used your chopsticks very much."
Shi Yunnan shook his head, "No, I have a small appetite."
Luo Lingsheng, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly asked, "Uncle Qin, is there any fish soup in the kitchen?"
Uncle Qin replied, "Yes, the young master likes to eat fish. I specially asked the servant to prepare more."
Luo Lingsheng nodded, "Give Master Shi Er a bowl."
Shi Yunnan's eyes lit up subconsciously, but he refused to admit it, "No, what do children eat for me?"
Luo Lingsheng looked at him, and his eyes hidden under the mirror became more interesting, "Really? I see you staring at Jin Yu's fish soup and you're almost greedy."
"..."
Shi Yunnan rarely felt the embarrassment of being seen through, and coughed in a guilty conscience.
Uncle Qin smiled and turned around quickly to prepare to go.
Soon, a bowl of fragrant fish egg custard was placed in front of Shi Yunnan.
The steamed fish meat has the fish bones removed, mashed and then stirred into the egg liquid with water and steamed for a second time, and finally drizzled with a little sesame oil, the fragrance is outrageous.
Shi Yunnan loved to eat fish when he was a child, but he often got stuck with thorns. This dish was also often made by Shi's mother.
Later, when his mother died, Shi Yunnan, who was left unattended, got stuck twice while eating fish at the dinner table. Over time, he sealed his favorite food in his memory.
Shi Yunnan endured his emotions and blew the broken hair in front of his forehead, but did not rush to move his chopsticks.
"Eat it, don't waste it." Luo Lingsheng suddenly spoke to his nephew.
The little goldfish quickly smashed his bowl upside down, and said to Shi Yunnan, "You can't waste it either."
"Who said I was going to waste it? I don't eat it for nothing." Shi Yunnan replied with a smile, but there was a sense of satisfaction in his eyes, like a little fox who stole the fish.
A meal, eat quietly and exceptionally harmonious.
The time after the meal flew by.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Shi Yunnan was tossing and turning in a relatively unfamiliar bedroom environment.
The jet lag has not been adjusted yet, and too many things have happened this day, he really has no leisurely thoughts to see Duke Zhou.
Shi Yunnan casually found a coat and put it on, intending to take advantage of the night to go out for a walk and exhaust his energy, but just a few steps out of the room, he ran into a figure at the corner—
Luo Jinyu, who should have been sleeping obediently, blushed with tears, and stood at the door of his bedroom bewildered and aggrieved.
Children are always children. No matter how they act like adults during the day, they will still show their true heart when encountering difficulties.
Shi Yunnan squatted close to him, "Why are you crying?"
The little goldfish wiped away tears and kept shaking his head without speaking.
Shi Yunnan really has no experience in raising children, "Why are you crying? I'll take you to find your uncle? Or to find Grandpa Qin?"
"If I don't look for my uncle, he doesn't like me crying." The little goldfish held it back for a few seconds, but still couldn't hold back what was in his heart, "I dreamed of my mother."
"..."
Shi Yunnan's heart tensed because of these words, he simply carried the little goldfish back to the room, and asked tentatively, "Do you remember what she looked like?"
"It's in the photo, and it's in the dream." The little goldfish sobbed aggrievedly, "Why do other children have mom and dad, but I'm the only one who doesn't?"
Shi Yunnan put him firmly on the bed, "Who said that? I don't have a mother either."
The little goldfish blinked with tears, "Are you the same as me?"
Shi Yunnan closed the quilt for him, his tone unconsciously soft, "Well, we are the same, but I know where they are."
"Where?"
Shi Yunnan imitated his mother in memory and stroked the little goldfish's forehead.
The nostalgia in his eyes rose little by little, he seemed to be coaxing a child, and he seemed to be recalling his former self.
"They are stars in the sky, and you can see them when you look up."
"Uncle said the same thing." Little Goldfish muttered sullenly, wrapping his hands around Shi Yunan's shirt, "Do you really want to live with me and my uncle in the future? Like family?"
"Well, grab your fish egg custard every day."
"Don't rob, I'll share with you."
Children's emotions come and go quickly.
The two didn't chat for a while, and the little goldfish fell asleep again. Shi Yunnan left the room lightly, and as soon as he went out, he met Luo Lingsheng who was guarding the door.
The man has been in the study since dinner, and has not seen the shadows again until now.
Shi Yunnan looked at the person in front of him, and instantly changed to a teasing expression, "In less than a day, Mr. Luo blocked me at the door twice? Why didn't you enter the house?"
"Looks like you're coaxing very well." Luo Lingsheng was afraid of waking up the people in the room, so he kept his voice low, "Jin Yu is still young, and occasionally waking up will inevitably cry, please trouble you."
"No trouble, one of the reasons why Mr. Luo asked me to pretend to be a marriage partner was for him?" Shi Yunnan had already guessed.
Luo Lingsheng didn't deny it, and tapped vainly with his fingertips on the armrest, "One is to block those rotten peach blossoms with a purpose, and the other is indeed for Jin Yu."
He looked at his legs, his eyes darkening.
"I have limited mobility, so I can't accompany him to participate in some activities in the park. Uncle Qin is old, and it is not very good to have a subordinate to accompany me, so I need a parent in the legal sense."
"It's inconvenient not to look for the opposite sex. Jin Yu has no sense of security, and the subsequent agreement expires and the divorce will easily affect the woman's reputation."
The reasons are stated word by word, and the logic is clear and people can't find faults.
Shi Yunnan laughed lowly, bent down to look at Luo Lingsheng's eyes, "Mr. Luo, do you have a third reason?"
The light above his head cast a hazy light and shadow under his slender eyelashes, and swept on the person's heart with a trembling, and there was a blurred ambiguity in the air.
Luo Lingsheng's seemingly calm eyes concealed turbulent waves. He sat quietly in his wheelchair and denied, "No, just these two reasons."
"Marriage is a very prudent thing. Even if same-sex marriage, it does not mean that there will be no harm. So, I hope Second Young Master Shi has thought it through, and don't regret it after the agreement takes effect."
"Regret? How is it possible."
Shi Yunnan stretched out his finger and waved it, his fingertips deliberately almost touching Luo Lingsheng's thin lips.
At the moment when they were about to touch, Luo Lingsheng's broad palm squeezed his fingertips and stopped, "Second Master Shi."
The man's palm was a little hot.
Shi Yunnan, who failed to flirt, sighed regretfully and replied, "Mr. Luo, I am an adult and have the right to make decisions and be responsible for my own life."
He didn't care about Luo Lingsheng's various reasons for 'fake marriage', just as at this moment he also hid a secret reason for needing 'fake marriage'.
"My luggage document, you have someone bring it back for me."
Shi Yunnan didn't rush away from his hand, but instead hooked his fingertips on Luo Lingsheng's palm, poking around to give the answer—
"Then tomorrow, we can go to collect the certificate."
