living expenses
Gu Shao's eyes stayed on the group of money.
Here, seeing that Gu Shao seemed to frown, Lin Xi hurriedly stepped forward again, stretched out his hand and tried to level the wrinkled pile of money on the table.
As if afraid that Gu Shao would dislike it, Lin Xi explained: "I only have so much now, and I will pay a little more next month."
This stack of money was pulled out from between his teeth when Lin Xi was in the Lin family. It was secretly hidden in the mezzanine of the luggage bag before escaping the inspection of Zhang Cui and the others, and brought it out.
Just when he was packing his luggage, Lin Xi got the money out.
Seeing Lin Xi's nervous expression, as if he was afraid that he would not accept it, Gu Shao's eyes sank and his brows furrowed even deeper.
"Since I said that I will raise you to adulthood, I won't break my promise. As for the expenses during this period, you don't need to bear it as a minor." Gu Shao said in a deep voice, but his tone could not be refuted.
Lin Xi was stunned: The truth is this truth.
She also knew that Gu Shao was worth the money to support her, but Lin Xi always felt uneasy when the other party refused to accept the money.
"Take the money back." Gu Shao said.
Lin Xi stood there, twisting his fingers, not moving.
Seeing this, Gu Shao's brows deepened: "Do you need me to say it a second time?"
Lin Xi shook his head sharply.
In the end, under Gu Shao's gaze, Lin Xi gritted his teeth, threw a sentence: "Good night Dad", turned around and ran out of the study.
The money is still on the table.
Looking at the direction Lin Xi ran away from, and looking at the stack of money on the table again, Gu Shao had a headache.
At the same time, there was a strange feeling in my heart that was not very obvious.
—
After returning to his room, Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief and put away the luggage that he brought.
Different from the temporary residence in the temporary apartment before, this time, Lin Xi packed her things very carefully - if nothing else, she might live here for a long time, until she becomes an adult.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiwo laughed unconsciously under the quilt. With a completely different life, her ending should not be as miserable as the novel.
Lin Xi didn't know when he fell asleep. This was Lin Xi's first day at this house. Everything here was unfamiliar to her, but what was unexpected was that Lin Xi slept very peacefully that night.
—
The next day, Gu Shao was ready to go out as usual.
When he walked out of the room, the small movements in the kitchen caught Gu Shao's attention.
Then, Gu Shao saw Lin Xi walking out of the kitchen with two plates in his hand.
Seeing Gu Shao, Lin Xi first shrank his neck as if he was frightened. Then, in the next second, Lin Xi immediately put away the surprise on his face at a speed visible to the naked eye, and threw a price to Gu Shao. Seeing the big customers also have a warm smile.
"Good morning Dad!"
Gu Shao: "..."
For a long time, Gu Shao only nodded coldly towards Lin Xi.
Lin Xi didn't care about this, and with a smile on his face, he said, "Dad, have breakfast."
As he said that, Lin Xi shook the plate in his hand as if offering a treasure, and said, "I made a cake, and there is one sweet, one sesame, and one scallion oil..."
"Which one do you want, Dad?"
The noodle cakes are very fragrant, and Gu Shao can smell the faint scent of scallion oil and sesame seeds from a distance of a few meters.
However, he has no plans to eat breakfast at home.
"No." Gu Shao refused, paused, and added: "Eat it yourself."
"Don't you want to eat it, Dad? I tried it just now, and it's delicious."
"No need." Gu Shao refused again.
"Oh."
Noticing the momentary loss on the girl's face, Gu Shao paused in his heart and explained, "I'm going out soon."
Lin Xi raised his head: "Dad, are you going to the company?"
"No, go to A University."
Hearing what Gu Shao said, Lin Xi remembered that in addition to being the boss of NTN, Gu Shao also had a powerful identity: Professor A.
Lin Xi's eyes moved, and he stopped Gu Shao: "Dad, wait a moment."
Gu Shao saw Lin Xi running back to the kitchen, and soon came out with a lunch box in his hand.
Gu Shao didn't say which flavor he wanted. Lin Xi simply took a knife and divided the three cakes into two. He took half of each flavor and put it in the lunch box. After closing the lid, he put it into a special bag. .
Lin Xi walked over and handed the lunch box to Gu Shao: "Dad, you can take it to eat."
In the novel, Gu Shao was arrested and imprisoned under the frame of Lin Yize, and finally died in prison. The announced investigation result was that Gu Shao was diagnosed with esophageal cancer and could not eat normally.
Although I don't know if it's true or not, and I don't know if esophageal cancer has anything to do with my usual eating habits, Lin Xi thinks it's better to be careful.
There was a warm smile on the girl's face, with expectation in her eyes, but her actual attitude gave people a sense of persistence.
After staring at Lin Xi for a few seconds, Gu Shao still took the lunch box she handed over.
—
School.
The arrival of Gu Shao attracted a burst of excitement in the office building.
Several young female teachers noticed the lunch box in Gu Shao's hand and couldn't help talking secretly.
"Is that the meal in Professor Gu's hand?"
"It should be, I have a similar lunch box."
"It's amazing." Although Gu Shao seldom came to school, it was the first time to bring meals.
"Professor Gu is not married, right?"
"Professor Gu wasn't married before?"
"Maybe not."
…
Gu Shao walked into the office, and the assistant brought the materials for the defense later.
"Professor, there will be a list of topics for defense in a while and report materials." The assistant handed a few materials to Gu Shao, glanced at the blue lunch box on the table, and asked, "Professor, you need to bring this for you to heat up. ?"
"No." He didn't plan to eat.
"Okay, then I'll go out first." The assistant was about to leave.
As a result, just two steps out, Gu Shao stopped him again.
"professor?"
"Let's heat it up."
…
After breakfast, Gu Shao took the materials and went to the defense classroom.
Today's session is the subject defense of a group of doctoral students in the college. Gu Shao attended as the main review teacher.
There are a total of 8 groups, one group will come to the stage to display and defend the research and development results of the project.
Gu Shao's comments follow the comments of other teachers, which is different from the euphemistic 'kindness' of other teachers. Gu Shao's comments are short, but straight to the point, and have no intention of saving face for these students.
However, every word of Professor Gu's comments is on the point, which makes people unable to refute, but it is very beneficial to think about it carefully.
Until the last group in the morning.
The female student who was defending stood nervously on the stage at this time, and was about to cry.
"In your case, the biggest problem is not the immature design, but the lack of a clear application positioning..." Gu Shao said directly.
Seeing the girl student who was about to cry, Gu Shao was suddenly stunned, and subconsciously thought of a certain girl standing in front of him with her fingers twisted and aggrieved.
For the first time, Gu Shao lightened his tone a little, and changed his words: "The technical design itself is not bad. You go down and think about the technical prospects and market positioning. I hope you can see a more complete defense this time."
Hearing Gu Shao's words, the female student showed surprise on her face and nodded quickly.
When he stepped off the stage, there was still a surprise in his heart: Professor Gu is notoriously strict, why does she feel good
Other students who were not comforted by Professor Gu said: It's not fair!
—
At the end of the whole day's defense, when Gu Shao was about to leave, he was stopped by several other professors.
"Professor Gu, Professor Liu invites you to dinner tonight. If you have nothing else to do, let's go together." A professor said - Professor Gu, a busy man, usually has few opportunities to meet him. He also plans to take this opportunity to meet with Gu. The professor talked about the rsk chip developed by their center.
Gu Shao really had nothing else to do today, but thinking of the sudden addition of a child at home, Gu Shao still refused the invitation of the other professor.
—
In the evening, when Gu Shao came home, as soon as he opened the door, the aroma of food rushed into his nostrils.
Seeing Gu Shao coming back, Lin Xi's eyes lit up, he ran over to take the things in Gu Shao's hand, and then led Gu Shao to the restaurant.
At this time, a table of dishes and two sets of tableware have been placed on the dining table.
Looking at the decent dishes on the table, Gu Shao raised his eyebrows.
"You did it?"
"Hmm." Lin Xi nodded.
The ingredients were delivered by her ordering on her mobile phone. As for the dishes, she had never made them before, but it seemed that it was not difficult. Lin Xi found the recipe on the Internet and made it according to the exact same steps.
"Thank you Dad for being willing to take me in." Lin Xi said to Gu Shao solemnly: She eats Gu Shao's and lives in Gu Shao's, and she doesn't behave better. What if the family regrets not wanting her? .
"Dad, let's eat." She asked Xu Fei, and Xu Fei said that when Gu Shao went to school, he usually wouldn't have dinner.
Lin Xi handed the bowl and chopsticks to Gu Shao.
Noticing the few white spots on his hands covered with toothpaste, Lin Xi quickly put the tableware and chopsticks in front of Gu Shao and withdrew his hands.
"What happened to the hand?" Gu Shao asked.
"It's nothing," Lin Xi's brain twitched, and he found a random reason: "I forgot to wash it just now."
In fact, it was the first time she had been cooking in such a formal manner. She was unfamiliar with the business and was accidentally burnt. Lin Xi didn't know if there was a medicine cabinet in this family, so she could only touch it with toothpaste first.
"..." Gu Shao didn't move, looked at the house that had obviously been cleaned, and then looked at the food on the table in front of him, and finally realized a problem: these things, including housework and cooking, should not be the responsibility of Lin Xilai Do.
"You don't need to do these things." Gu Shao said in a deep voice.
A child is the age that should be taken care of.
"It's nothing, it's all very simple things that can cover my living expenses."
"No." Gu Shao's tone became a little more serious.
"But..." If she doesn't do it, no one seems to do it
As if guessing what Lin Xi was going to say, Gu Shao said, "I will arrange for someone to come over."
Find someone to come and take care of the child.
Hearing Gu Shao's indifference, Lin Xi nodded silently.
"Let's eat first." Gu Shao said.
"Okay." Lin Xi smiled again, filled Gu Shao's meal, and pushed it in front of him.
Under Lin Xi's expectant eyes, Gu Shao took a piece of vegetable and put it in his mouth.
The smell was surprisingly normal.
It wasn't as pretentious as he imagined.
…
After dinner, Lin Xi was about to clean up the dishes, but Gu Shao forcibly called her back to her room.
Outside, Gu Shao packed up the tableware and made a phone call to Xu Fei, asking him to find an aunt who was cooking and doing housework.
Xu Fei is very efficient.
The next morning, my aunt came to the door and bought breakfast.
"Sir and Miss are up, this is the meat patties and soy milk I bought from the station, you can eat it while it's hot." As the aunt said, she walked into the kitchen lightly. The soy milk and meat patties in the bowl were replaced.
He took a rag and wiped the soy milk spilled on the table, and then gave up the place to Gu Shao and Lin Xi.
On this side, there is no need to arrange, the aunt has already walked to the living room, and started to pack up quickly.
First wipe the sofa, then wipe the coffee table.
What she used was the brown rag on which she just wiped the soy milk.
When walking through the room, the aunt also wiped the handle of the room door with the rag.
Seeing the moving auntie, Lin Xi: "..."
Look at Gu Shao next to him.
The burst expressions on the faces of the father and daughter at this moment are almost the same.
