He could even feel Qin Junche's vibrant, beating heart right beneath his palm.
Gu Tang couldn't help but tilt her head slightly to look at Qin Junche.
The other person remained standing against the wall, eyes closed, thick eyelashes drooping down, completely obscuring the light in his eyes.
The smile on her lips had disappeared without her noticing.
Qin Junche's jaw was taut, and his lips were glistening with the lingering moisture from the intense kiss just now.
Gu Tang slowly exhaled.
He shook his head, which was still a little dizzy from lack of oxygen, straightened up, and turned to walk towards the study: "See you tomorrow."
Qin Junche then raised his eyes.
He could only see Gu Tang's back as he strode into the study.
The other person raised their left hand and made a waving goodbye gesture to him.
The voice sounded calm, and the steps were unhurried.
But Qin Junche knows him very well.
When the kiss ended, Gu Tang's breathing became erratic.
Not only was his breathing disordered, but even now, his small earlobes, exposed above his short black hair, revealed a hint of agate red.
Oh.
Qin Junche raised his hand and touched his lips.
He felt he understood a little.
When Gu Tang entered the study, Qin Xiao was indeed focused on painting.
He heard the door close and looked up to see his father standing in the doorway, looking somewhat dazed.
Qin Xiao blinked, then ran towards Gu Tang with his little notebook in his arms.
"Hmm." Gu Tang was indeed lost in thought.
He only snapped out of his daze when Qin Xiao held up his sketchbook high in front of him again.
On the newly unfolded page, another drawing of what appeared to be a somewhat complex machine was added.
Gu Tang: "..."
After cultivating for ten thousand years, Gu Tang finally found his weakness.
He still couldn't understand these mechanical drawings at all.
"Xiao'er," Gu Tang squatted down and asked patiently, "Can you tell Daddy what you drew?"
Qin Xiao blinked again.
He turned on his personal computer, intending to type in text.
The moment her hand moved, Gu Tang gently pressed it down: "Xiao'er, can you tell your father yourself?"
He asked.
Gu Tang was certain that Qin Xiao was not mute.
He is also willing to communicate with himself, even if it is through typing.
But he just wouldn't say a word.
Qin Xiao stared wide-eyed at Gu Tang.
His eyelashes were also very long and thick.
Although Qin Xiao is still young, he has delicate features and looks very similar to his other father, Qin Junche.
They are all destined to become stunningly beautiful in the future.
When Gu Tang was looked at by Qin Xiao with those big eyes, he subconsciously thought of the kiss that had just ended.
He didn't want to relive the experience.
But it was something he had never experienced before—powerful and passionate, yet gentle...
Gu Tang quickly shook his head, trying to banish this absurd idea that had just popped into his head.
He met Qin Xiao's innocent, curious gaze, softened his tone, and coaxed her more patiently, "Xiao'er, can you tell Daddy what you drew?"
He patiently patted Qin Xiao's head and said, "Dad wants to hear you say it yourself."
Qin Xiao: "..."
He suddenly took back his notebook and slowly lowered his head.
He didn't speak, nor did he turn around and run away, nor did he utter a single sound of grievance.
Or make any expression of being hurt.
But he just stood there silently, holding the notebook, his head bowed, in front of Gu Tang.
Such a pitiful little thing is truly heartbreaking.
"Never mind, never mind." Gu Tang vigorously ruffled Qin Xiao's soft black hair. "Write if you like."
Qin Xiao immediately became happy.
The little head that had been hanging down just now lifted up, and a bright smile appeared on its face.
Even his eyes were filled with sunshine again.
Gu Tang: "..."
Children's world is indeed very simple.
Give it a little sunshine, and it shines brilliantly.
Qin Xiao had already turned on his personal computer and carefully typed: "No need to control it, automatically weed."
As he spoke, he opened his notebook, pointed to another sketch with only a few lines, and it was hard to tell what it was, and typed in: "Artificial sunlight".
Gu Tang was amazed by what he saw.
He then patted Qin Xiao's head.
My son is a true genius when it comes to mechanical mechs!
If someone like that had a family like the Qin family as a backer, they could probably soar to great heights, reaching a level that many people can only look up to in their entire lives.
But it's okay.
He'll stay with me, and I'll give him the best of everything!
Gu Tang was instantly full of energy.
He picked Qin Xiao up and said, "Let's go, Dad will help you take a bath. Get some rest early tonight."
He paused for a moment, then said, "Tomorrow we'll go to your school for the opening ceremony, and then we'll go to the lab."
If it weren't for the fact that Qin Xiao's poor communication skills would lead to his untimely death,
Gu Tang actually felt that people who were top geniuses in a certain area didn't need to waste time doing other things.
They should focus on what they are best at in order to reach the top.
Qin Xiao nestled quietly in Gu Tang's arms and nodded obediently.
He thought for a moment, then brought up his personal computer and typed: "I want to sleep with Daddy."
“Okay!” Gu Tang immediately agreed.
He carried Qin Xiao out of the study, and Qin Junche had indeed already left.
Qin Xiao was visibly happier, her round eyes crinkling into two crescent moons with laughter.
Gu Tang looked thoughtfully at the dimples on her son's face and the joy that couldn't be hidden from his eyes and brows.
He was almost certain that Qin Xiao did not like Qin Junche.
The reason is not clear.
But Gu Tang felt he could guess a little bit about it.
But when Gu Tang thought of Qin Junche, he couldn't help but reach out and touch his lips again.
The kiss just now reached its climax, and the initial passion and intensity had faded.
Instead, there was a tingling sensation that could be heard as breaths exchanged, a sensation that was too distant and unfamiliar to Gu Tang.
Tsk...
He couldn't help but shake his head, completely banishing the tingling, itchy feeling in his heart.
Then she helped Qin Xiao take a shower and changed him into clean and comfortable pajamas.
I slept soundly through the night, without a single dream until dawn.
Gu Tang prepared a simple breakfast for himself and Qin Xiao.
When he called Qin Xiao downstairs, the child had already changed into his school uniform.
The Imperial Academy in the capital city doesn't actually have such clear class barriers.
The academy covers everything from kindergarten to university and even graduate school. In addition to children from wealthy families, it also admits students who are gifted in certain areas.
In addition, the Empire will be responsible for the education of all the children of soldiers who died on the battlefield.
Some of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for outstanding military achievements also had their children studying at the Royal Academy for free.
Of course, you need to take the exams yourself starting from university.
Because of this factor, Qin Xiao wore a simple and elegant dark blue children's suit-style school uniform without any extra decorations.
In addition, Qin Xiao was also carrying a small backpack.
His beloved notebook was in his schoolbag.
Upon meeting Gu Tang's gaze, Qin Xiao quickly quickened his pace, skipping downstairs and running to the dining table.
He gulped down the milk and then quickly finished his bread.
Then Qin Xiao waited obediently beside Gu Tang.
