He rubbed his obviously sleepy eyes and looked pitifully at Qin Xiao through the lowered car window: "See you at school, Qin Xiao."
Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment, then waved to his companion.
He pursed his lips, and under the expectant gazes of Han Fengting and Gu Tang, he ultimately said nothing.
But Qin Xiao only lowered his head after the black hovercar disappeared into the night of the capital.
Her previously expressionless face now showed obvious reluctance.
"You really enjoy playing with Han Fengting?" Gu Tang ruffled his hair and led him toward the gate.
Qin Xiao thought for a moment and nodded seriously.
“Dad thinks he’s good too, and he’ll take you to visit him often in the future,” Gu Tang said generously.
Upon hearing his words, Qin Xiao's face lit up noticeably.
By this time, the two had already returned to the villa.
Gu Tang thought for a moment.
He reached out and held his son's warm little hand, then squatted down so that Qin Xiao's gaze could meet his own.
Then he looked into Qin Xiao's eyes and asked seriously, "Xiao'er, can you tell your father why you don't want to talk?"
Qin Xiao did not have any organic problems to begin with.
Moreover, he clearly heard Qin Xiao speak in a moment of panic at school today.
The sound is normal.
Perhaps because he was in such a hurry, his voice, though slightly hoarse, still had the loudness of a child.
Qin Xiao's gaze instantly averted from Gu Tang's eyes.
He looked around, and even slowly lowered his head.
Her small, pointed chin almost reached her chest.
"Qin Xiao." Gu Tang knelt on one knee, patiently looking at his son.
“I’m so happy that you spoke up today to protect Dad.” He reached out and gently tidied Qin Xiao’s hair.
The other person kept their head down, and even their hands hanging at their sides were quietly clenched.
"Xiao'er." Gu Tang sighed silently in his heart.
This matter cannot be rushed.
With him, and Han Fengting, a happy little bird, by Qin Xiao's side.
He was confident that sooner or later he could get his son to speak.
"It's alright." Gu Tang patted Qin Xiao's shoulder.
Then his hand slid down his son's thin arm, gently but firmly prying open his son's pale fist.
“Dad is just curious.” He smiled easily at Qin Xiao. “When you want to tell Dad someday, I’ll definitely be your best listener. As for now…”
Gu Tang stood up, picked Qin Xiao up, and carried him upstairs: "It's time to take a shower and go to bed."
He escorted Qin Xiao to his room, watching the child obediently take his pajamas, and then walked towards the private bathroom in his room.
"Do you need my help?" Gu Tang did not leave immediately.
It was his mission and his wish to change Qin Xiao.
Then he would definitely want to spend as much time as possible with his son.
Upon hearing Gu Tang's words, the child, who had been silent just moments before, suddenly turned into a frightened rabbit.
His face flushed bright red, and he rushed into the bathroom with his pajamas in his arms.
Then, with a "snap," the bathroom door was closed in a hurry.
Gu Tang was genuinely amused.
He stretched, closed the door for his son, and then walked towards his own bedroom.
So he didn't know that after he closed the door and returned to his bedroom, Qin Xiao's bathroom door quietly opened a crack again.
The child's thin figure stood straight, with only one eye showing, looking at the tightly closed door.
He closed his mouth very, very tightly.
It seemed as if it was worried that it would make a sound again if it wasn't careful.
Qin Xiao stood silently behind the crack in the door for a while, then suddenly opened his mouth slightly.
His room was very quiet.
After a moment, a soft, rustling sound rang out—
"dad……"
Gu Tang took a comfortable shower.
"Feeling refreshed after your shower?" As soon as he stepped out of the bathroom, he heard a lazy voice coming from the bed.
In the room that was originally empty, Qin Junche was sitting upright on the headboard.
He was still wearing those black suit trousers that made his legs look long and straight.
He had taken off his coat and was only wearing a white shirt on his upper body.
The bow tie was carelessly tossed on the ground, and the top few buttons of the white shirt were all undone, revealing a large expanse of healthy, tanned skin.
Qin Junche rested his hands behind his head, his gaze roaming freely over Gu Tang.
His partner had just taken a shower and was casually wearing a bathrobe.
The belt was loosely tied, and the front of the bathrobe was simply gathered up casually.
Gu Tang's hair was still wet, with a few glistening water droplets rolling down the ends.
Slowly sliding down Gu Tang's smooth jawline into his long, slender neck.
Finally, it was completely swallowed up by the bathrobe.
Qin Junche's Adam's apple bobbed unconsciously.
Gu Tang was a bit fairer than him.
But now, her fair skin, steamed by the hot water, was slightly red, making her look exceptionally...
A feast for the eyes!
"Come here." Qin Junche stretched out his hand to Gu Tang.
He also sat up from the head of the bed: "If you don't dry your hair, you'll get sick."
Qin Junche spoke in a hoarse voice.
He didn't even wait for Gu Tang to come over; he stood up and walked towards him.
Taking the soft, large bath towel from the other person's hand, Qin Junche pressed Gu Tang down onto the bed.
He grabbed a bath towel, awkwardly draped it over Gu Tang's hair, and began to rub it.
However, he was quite gentle.
At the very least, Gu Tang did not show the slightest resistance, and just sat there while he dried his hair until it was half dry.
Qin Junche finally removed the bath towel.
He bent down and leaned close to Gu Tang's head, the other's soft black hair brushing against his lips.
This itchy feeling is actually more alluring.
"It smells so good." Qin Junche took a deep breath.
He stepped back, looked Gu Tang up and down, and asked, "Where's Qin Xiao?"
"I'm asleep," Gu Tang said.
Qin Junche didn't mention Han Xuan again; he simply sat down next to Gu Tang.
Then he grabbed one of the other's hands and idly played with Gu Tang's slender fingers.
Every now and then, Qin Junche would curl his fingers and gently scratch Gu Tang's palm.
But to his disappointment, his partner seemed determined not to give him any response.
Such a naming should be a tender moment, but Gu Tang's unwavering gaze made Qin Junche wonder if he would one day become sexually indifferent because of his partner.
Then Gu Tang finally reacted.
He suddenly pulled his hand back, stood up, and walked towards the wardrobe.
He casually took out a set of pajamas from the closet, and then took off his bathrobe in a very open and unpretentious manner.
Qin Junche maintained the same posture as before, holding Gu Tang's fingers.
He stared expressionlessly at Gu Tang's beautifully sculpted back, her narrow waist without an ounce of excess fat, and then...
Oh. Qin Junche thought to himself, there was absolutely no way he would be angered or become indifferent.
very nice!
"Don't you have anything you want to ask me?" Qin Junche watched as Gu Tang changed into his pajamas, and before the other person could turn around, he resumed his lazy posture.
He leaned against the headboard and asked Gu Tang, "You need to know that the Star Army and the Blazing Sun Army have always been rivals. My soldiers might not be willing to accept being taught swordsmanship by you, just like the Blazing Sun Army."
"Oh." Gu Tang nodded, indicating that he was thinking about it.
"The Star Army doesn't need me to go?" he asked quickly.
Qin Junche: "..."
"It's a bit of a shame that I won't get double pay," Gu Tang shrugged. "But it's also good this way, because I'll have more time to spend with Qin Xiao."
Qin Junche: "..."
He suddenly reached out and pulled Gu Tang onto the bed.
"You did this on purpose, didn't you?" Qin Junche flipped over, trapping Gu Tang beneath him.
He easily grasped Gu Tang's wrists with one hand and pulled them up.
