"Today is Daddy's birthday?" Little Shadow was also very shocked, he looked up at his mother, "Mother, don't you know?"
Qin Min was startled, and looked at Gu Beiyue, not knowing how to answer.
Gu Beiyue didn't know how to answer Little Shadow for a moment, and the family of three just stood at the gate, all silent.
In the end, it was Little Shadow who spoke first, "Father, why didn't you tell mother, why didn't you tell me?"
Gu Beiyue held back for a long time before coming up with a reason, "Because, because it happens to be Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be fine after Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Why can't Mid-Autumn Festival be celebrated with birthdays?" Little Shadow asked, tilting his head.
"Because... because Daddy doesn't want to celebrate his birthday." Gu Beiyue knelt down and answered seriously.
"Why don't you think about it?" Little Shadow continued to ask.
"Because, because it's one year older after one birthday. Daddy... doesn't want to grow old." Gu Beiyue replied. This reason is enough to convince Little Shadow, no matter how smart Little Shadow is, he is still a child! He laughed loudly, "So Daddy is also afraid of getting old!"
Gu Beiyue pulled the little shadow, smiled without saying a word, but the little shadow suddenly backed away, bowed to Gu Beiyue respectfully, and said loudly, "Nan Chen wishes Daddy never grow old, and live longer than Nanshan!"
Subinanshan…
In an instant, Qin Min's eyes turned red, she turned her head away, not to let Gu Beiyue and Xiao Ying see, trying to calm herself down.
Gu Beiyue's heart was startled, seeing such a docile and sensible little shadow, her whole heart slowly twisted. He knew that he had wronged this child, but he had never felt so uncomfortable when facing this child.
He had never gotten along with children before, and he always felt that it was easy to hide from children's eyes. However, after Hui Ningzhou personally taught Little Shadow Qinggong, he discovered that it turns out that children are the most difficult to deceive.
At the beginning, he only wanted a child who could inherit the lightness skills of the Shadow Clan and inherit the protection of the Shadow Clan. So he made another agreement with Qin Min and married Qin Min.
It is only now that I realize how absurd my steps have been.
Everything in this life can be controlled again, including one's own heart, which can also be well controlled. He knows what to do and what not to do, and never crosses his bottom line.
For Han Yunxi, even if it is admiration and admiration, he has always done his duty, and he has never had any unreasonable thoughts or actions. Even after his identity was exposed, he assisted Long Feiye very rationally.
To Qin Min, he is rational, even if he is reluctant, he can't bear it. His words and deeds have always been cruel, and he has always been willing.
She is trying.
But he is very clear about the result of the five-year agreement.
He didn't say anything, let her work hard. He knows that only after hard work will there be no regrets and will be relieved.
But today, facing Little Shadow, he found that it was really difficult to continue singing. The bigger the child, the more he would lose control of everything.
He smiled, didn't say much, just hugged Xiao Ying.
Like Yan'er, Little Shadow is a baby who loves to sleep, and basically goes to bed when it gets dark. Tonight was already an exception, he was still very sleepy on the way back, but when he heard that today was his father's birthday, he became sober again.
As soon as he entered the door, he struggled to get away from his father's arms, and ran into the house to find a fiery red air pineapple, "Daddy, here, here it is for you!"
This air pineapple was given to him by his mother. He raised it from a seedling, and it took a year to bloom.
Gu Beiyue accepted it with a smile, and the little shadow pestered him, telling him a bunch of details about how to make air pineapples, repeatedly explaining that it must not be sprayed with too much water, or it would rot.
Finally, Little Shadow was really sleepy, so he asked, "Daddy, it's getting late, are you going to sleep?"
Gu Beiyue carried him to the couch, and lay down with him. The little shadow rushed to Qin Min, who came after him, and waved, "Mother, it's time to sleep."
When in Ningzhou, Little Shadow always went to bed early, and Qin Min coaxed her to sleep. Qin Min always told him that Dad still had to read medical books and would stay up at night.
Little Shadow didn't get up early, every time he got up, Qin Min would make breakfast and always tell him that Daddy got up early.
In this way, the more times, the little shadow is used to it.
Unexpectedly, on the first night they returned to Taifu's Mansion, they would face the problem of sleeping.
However, Qin Min easily resolved it.
She said, "Shadow, mother will sleep with you. Your father has to take a medicinal bath today."
Shadow also knew about Gu Beiyue's medicinal bath. Although he is also learning medical skills while learning lightness kung fu, with his current level, he can't see the curative effect of those medicinal soups at all. In addition, his mother would often make some medicinal soup for him to take a bath, so he thought it was recuperation and didn't think much about it.
Little Shadow was so sleepy that he almost closed his eyes, so he agreed with a "hmm". However, when Gu Beiyue got up, the little shadow fell asleep before Qin Min lay down.
Qin Min changed Little Shadow's clothes and helped him wash his face and feet, but Little Shadow didn't even wake up. Gu Beiyue watched quietly from the side, but did not leave.
Qin Min finished his work, and seeing that Gu Beiyue hadn't left, he asked in a low voice, "Aren't you going to take a medicinal bath?"
Gu Beiyue said, "Perhaps... I shouldn't have lied to him in the first place."
Qin Min wondered if everything would have been different if he had known about Gu Beiyue's condition earlier.
She said lightly, "I can't turn back, I'll be cheating forever."
Gu Beiyue was speechless, turned and left.
After he took the medicated bath, it was already late at night. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Qin Min standing at the door holding a bowl of birthday noodles. She should have just arrived, and the birthday noodles were still steaming.
She said, "Teacher Gu, Mid-Autumn Festival is another birthday, why don't you treat me as a family member and eat this bowl of noodles for now."
After Grandpa passed away, no family members made birthday noodles for him anymore.
Gu Beiyue didn't say anything, but nodded.
He ate the bowl of noodles cleanly, while Qin Min sat aside and watched, the more he watched, the more uncomfortable he became.
Gu Beiyue, Gu Beiyue, I can be cruel not to love you, but... I can't be cruel, I won't guard you, I won't take care of you.
Gu Beiyue ate a bowl of noodles, Qin Min cleaned up the bowls and left. After Qin Min left, the little thing fell from the roof, folded his arms, and bowed to Gu Beiyue.
It was also after seeing the bowl of birthday noodles that the little thing knew that today is the son's birthday. It wanted to wish the son a happy birthday, but he couldn't say it, so he could only worship.
Gu Beiyue understood, he smiled, held the little thing in his hands, and scratched it gently, "Little thing, long time no see."
The little thing rubbed against his palm affectionately, and finally jumped onto his shoulder, pointing to the moon in the sky.
Gu Beiyue looked up and said calmly, "Little thing, in the future, you can help me protect Qin Min and Nan Chen, okay?"
The little thing didn't understand, thinking that the young master asked it whether the moon is beautiful today, it nodded seriously.
That night, the little shadow still slept peacefully, but Gu Beiyue and Qin Min both looked at the moon for the whole night.
The next day, Xiao Ying had just finished practicing and was about to go back to the house when he bumped into Xuanyuan Rui standing at his door.
As soon as his figure was swept away, he went to Xuanyuan Rui and bowed in a manner, "His Royal Highness, good morning."
"It's getting late." Xuanyuan Rui said coldly.
"Your Highness, what advice do you have?" Little Shadow asked with a smile.
"I was entrusted by someone to bring you into the palace!"
Xuanyuan Rui's tone was cold and a little unhappy. He had a lot of homework to do today, but Yan'er pestered him desperately, asking him to take her to the Taifu's residence.
Even if he borrowed his mother's courage, he would not dare to bring that little witch out of the palace. Firstly, he would not be able to surrender, and secondly, if the emperor knew about it, he would definitely be grounded. In desperation, he had no choice but to go there himself and bring Little Shadow to the palace.
Yan'er came to Taifu's mansion just to play with Gu Nanchen!
Little Shadow was nervous, there were only a few people in the palace, and there were only three people who could entrust His Highness the Crown Prince with errands, Princess Yan, Empress Empress and the Emperor.
Among these three, who wants to see him
Before Little Shadow could ask, Xuanyuan Rui spoke first, "Let's go, my sister wants to see you!"
Little Shadow's eyes widened and he asked, "Why does Princess Yan want to see me?"
Xuanyuan Rui rolled his eyes at him, "How do I know? Are you going?"
Little Shadow said, "I want to tell my parents."
Xuanyuan Rui lost his patience, and told Xu Donglin who was with him to tell Gu Beiyue and Qin Min that he dragged Xiao Ying over and left.
Xiaoying seldom gets in touch with girls, and seeing what Princess Yan did last night, she is inevitably afraid of Princess Yan.
He was very nervous all the way, but who knew, seeing Princess Yan, Princess Yan handed him a piece of mooncake, "Brother Ying, here, Mammy Zhao said this is from the advanced tribute, it is very delicious."
Little Shadow was surprised and didn't move.
Yan'er chuckled, "I know you like sweets, so I reserved them for you. You can eat them."
Little Shadow was puzzled, and was about to ask Princess Yan how she knew he liked sweets, but before she could open her mouth, Yan'er said, "I counted, you ate four mooncakes last night, more than me One. You are really good at eating!"
Little Shadow's face immediately turned red, and he didn't know how to answer.
"Take it! Eat it quickly, this is the last one. Otherwise, I regret it!" Princess Yan urged.
Little Shadow just took the mooncake and bit it big.
Princess Yan was happy, "Brother Ying, if you play with me from now on, I will share your delicious food."
Little Shadow nodded as he ate, not because of anything else, but because the mooncakes were really delicious, and they were the best sweets he had ever eaten.
Xuanyuan Rui waited at the side, and wanted to wait for Little Shadow to finish eating the mooncakes before taking him away to accompany him to do his homework, but seeing Little Shadow nodding, he couldn't help rolling his eyes, snorted disdainfully, turned around and left.
In his opinion, friends who are too easy to be bought by gourmet food are not good partners.
Like this, Little Shadow got acquainted with Prince Rui and Princess Yan, and gradually became a regular visitor in the palace. He studied with the prince and Princess Yan, practiced martial arts with the prince, and was often pestered by Princess Yan to play with him. His father was a busy man, so he became a little busy man.
Qin Min, on the other hand, stayed behind closed doors, devoting himself to the study of acupuncture and moxibustion. When he got tired, he went to tidy up the wasteland in the house to change his mood.
One day, after Little Shadow fell asleep, Qin Min asked Gu Beiyue to discuss the curative effect of the medicinal bath.
Although Gu Beiyue took the medicine every day for several months, Qin Min didn't notice any improvement in his condition. As for whether it was getting worse, she couldn't tell from the pulse.
However, after treatment for so long, no improvement is itself a sign of deterioration!
