"Brother, you're here. Your little treasure suddenly went berserk for no reason!"
"What's going on?" Lu Tingxiao asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know what happened. After he woke up, he was looking for someone everywhere. I thought he was looking for Ning Xi, so I told him not to look for her because the pretty aunt had passed away. As soon as I finished speaking, he went berserk. Xiaobao seemed to like Ning Xi very much, but he wouldn't be so excited when he heard that someone was gone!"
Moreover, Xiaobao hasn't experienced such intense emotional fluctuations for a long time.
After hearing what happened, Lu Tingxiao walked straight towards his son.
When the little fellow noticed Lu Tingxiao approaching, he immediately shrank back in alertness, his eyes full of defensiveness and rejection, and he even refused to acknowledge his own father.
Lu Tingxiao stopped three steps away from his son and spoke calmly, "When your second uncle told you that your aunt had passed away, he meant it literally. There was nothing wrong with her health and she had been discharged from the hospital and returned home. She had not passed away, and she was not like your great-grandmother who would never come back. Do you understand?"
Perhaps Lu Tingxiao would only be so patient when facing his son, speaking such a long speech in one breath.
Lu Jingli was dumbfounded. "Are you kidding me? I just said two words, 'left', and he imagined so much?"
In fact, Xiaobao saw Ning Xi fall with his own eyes and was frightened. It was not surprising that he misunderstood his words in his unstable mood.
After listening to Lu Tingxiao's explanation, Xiaobao still huddled on the windowsill with his head buried, not moving.
So Lu Tingxiao took out a piece of paper and said, "She gave it to you. Do you want to see it?"
Xiaobao's body paused, and then as if a switch was pressed, he instantly raised his head and opened his short little hands, signaling for his dad to hold him.
Lu Jingli: “…”
Doctors and nurses at the scene: “…”
Everyone in the room was nearly on the verge of collapse, but Lu Tingxiao solved the problem with just a piece of paper
Lu Jingli originally thought that his brother's action of asking Ning Xi for a note was unnecessary, but now he was completely convinced.
Lu Tingxiao held his son in his arms and sat down on the sofa, then handed him the note.
The little guy couldn't wait to take it. He already knew how to read and could read by himself.
[Baby, thank you for saving me, you are great~]
Looking at the words on the note and the love drawn on the back, the little guy's eyes sparkled and his face seemed a little red. Although he pursed his lips reservedly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. He looked so adorable.
Lu Jingli looked as if he had seen a ghost. "Oh my god, was I dazzled just now, brother? Our little treasure actually laughed! I can't even remember how long ago it was since I last saw him laugh! What on earth did Ning Xi write?"
When Lu Jingli tried to take a peek, Xiaobao immediately hid himself like a treasure.
But Lu Jingli had already seen it. It was just a normal message, but how could it make Xiaobao so happy? This Ning Xi was really extraordinary!
Lu Tingxiao didn't say anything, but looked at his son with gentle eyes.
After Xiaobao woke up, Lu Tingxiao took him home directly and turned down all his work at the company to stay at home with him.
…
Night, No. 8 Platinum Palace.
The huge living room was deserted. Two people, one big and one small, sat opposite each other across the dining table, each with a colder expression than the other.
Lu Tingxiao: "Let's eat."
Xiaobao turned a deaf ear to it.
Lu Tingxiao: "I'll say this one last time."
Xiaobao didn't move at all.
Lu Tingxiao: "Do you think a childish threat like a hunger strike will work on me?"
Xiaobao was like an old monk in meditation, completely immersed in his own world and without any reaction to the outside world.
The father and son continued to confront each other.
An hour later.
Lu Tingxiao called Lu Jingli and said, "Send me Ning Xi's address."
Well, it turns out that fasting is quite useful.
Lu Jingli was very efficient and immediately sent Ning Xi's specific address to his brother's phone, followed by a bunch of gossip. Of course, Lu Tingxiao ignored it.
This time, Lu Tingxiao didn't need to say anything. As soon as Xiaobao saw his father pick up his coat and car keys, he immediately followed him.
Lu Tingxiao lowered his eyes to glance at his son at his feet, then leaned over and picked him up helplessly, "Don't do this again."
