When she reached downstairs, Su Bei sighed in relief.
But the next second, she almost got a heart attack.
Qin Shao was sitting on the sofa, reading some documents. Su Bei was stunned. Their eyes met for two seconds before she lowered her head in a guilty conscience. Su Bei then smiled stiffly and called with a soft voice: βDad.β
βWhatβs wrong?β Qin Shao put down the documents in his hand. When he looked at the watch on his wrist, he frowned.
βAh, nothing.β Just came down for a walk? Or to see why dad hasnβt slept yet? Su Bei was hurriedly thinking for a good excuse, but Mr. Qin had directly seen through her.
Qin Shao: βAre you hungry?β
Su Bei: ββ¦β
She nodded.
Mr. Qin secretly thought: Itβs not a good habit to eat at this hour.γHowever, seeing the girl standing in front of him with her head drooping pitifully, Mr. Qinβs heart was softened.
βGo and see if there is something to eat in the kitchen.β He relented.
Su Beiβs eyes instantly lit up. βThank you, Dad.β She looked up at Qin Shao and smiled sweetly.
Seeing Su Bei trotted into the kitchen, Qin Shao chuckled a little. The next second, a small head popped out from the kitchen door.
βDad, do you also want to eat?β
Qin Shao: No.
However, the word got stuck in his throat. He asked back instead: βWhat are you going to make?β
βNoodles?β Su Bei pondered for a moment and said: βThere are also bread, dumplings, small steamed buns, or I can fry it instead.β
Qin Shao: βAnything is okay. Just cook anything you want.β
Su Bei went back into the kitchen. She took out some small buns from the refrigerator, put it with some water on a plate, and heated it in the microwave. She then took out the oil, fried the buns until golden brown underneath, and sprinkled it with some onion and black sesame.
After finished cooking, Su Bei arranged the small fried buns on a plate and brought it to Mr. Qin.
Mr. Qin first glanced at the plate of delicious-looking fried buns, then at Su Bei. Seeing the girlβs eyes shining brightly with the words βpraise meβ on her face, Mr. Qin secretly smiled and said: βSit and eat.β
βOkay,β Su Bei sat down next to Qin Shao: βDad, this is your chopsticks.β
Qin Shao originally was not hungry and had no habit of eating midnight supper. After receiving the chopsticks from Su Bei, he put it down again. Qin Shao then lowered his head to look at Su Bei, who was sitting next to him: The girl was eating attentively with her head lowered down. The buns she chewed puffed her cheeks.
An inconspicuous smile flashed across Mr. Qinβs eyes, but his expression quickly became stern again: βHold your appetite. Itβs easy for your stomach to get indigestion if you eat too much at this late hour.β
If he wasnβt supervising, was this girl going to eat the whole plate alone? Hasnβt she have her dinner?
Actually, she hasnβt.
Remembering that the plate also had Su Xiaobaoβs share, Su Bei counted the remaining buns and stopped eating.
When Mr. Qin saw this, however, her action instead became: This girl surely is obedient.
But when he remembered why Su Bei hadnβt eaten enough and how restrained she was in front of Madam Yang, Mr. Qin frowned again.
βXiao Bei.β
βYes, Dad?β
βRemember, this is your home.β Qin Shao said, his eyes were serious and earnest. As for other people, they were only a guest at most. There was never any reason why a host should give in because of a guest.
It seemed that he must find another place for Madam Yang to stayβMr. Qin secretly decided. He never paid attention to this kind of thing before. He had many houses, so when Madam Yang lived in Jingyuan whenever she came to visit, he just had to temporarily stay at another place. Since anywhere was the same for him, it never had been a big deal before. But now it was different: this was also the home of Xiaobei and Xiaobao.
An insignificant person lived in his house, but still wanted to point her finger at his children and made them uncomfortable. How could this thing be tolerated?
After Su Bei heard Mr. Qinβs words, she guessed that he probably didnβt want her to be so restrained. Su Bei nodded and replied: βOkay.β
β
βHow is it at school?β Qin Shao suddenly remembered the βearly loveβ problem that caused him so much headache. He changed the topic and asked about Su Beiβs situation at school.
Su Bei didnβt know the real reason behind this question. So when she heard that Mr. Qin actually cared about their situation in the school, she became so flattered.
βXiaobao and I are very good at school.β Su Bei smiled happily and added, βWe also getting along with our classmates.β
Qin Shao: βWith male classmate?β
βNo,β Su Bei shook her head: βBoth.β
Qin Shao: βAre there some people who especially close with you?β For example, the little brat from Xie family.
Su Bei: βYes.β For example, Su Xiaobao and Xie Minxuanβs relationship was very good.
β¦
βYou are still young. Your mind and worldview have not been matured, and the ability to judge right and wrong still not perfectβ¦ No matter who you are in contact with, you must maintain an appropriate distance and have to know the limitβ¦β
For an unknown reason, from talking about school friends, Mr. Qin suddenly began to preach about this kind of in-depth topic. But Su Bei still sat on the side, listening obediently. She would nod on time to time and replied: βI know.β
βSome brat might look awesome in your eyes, but in fact, all things he has are given by his family. He is just a useless young boy. He is immature, has no responsibility, does not even know what responsibility is, and also has no ability to bear any kind of consequences.β
Except for directly mentioning the words βXie family boy,β Mr. Qin said all the key points.
βYou are a girl. You have to know to protect yourselfβ¦β
Mr. Qin was still in the middle of his speech when something suddenly hit his arm and slightly sank. He moved his head a bit, looking at his right side and found that Su Bei had been asleep. Her head was leaning on Qin Shaoβs arm, and because of inertia, pulling down the sleeve of his shirt.
Su Bei tied up her hair on the top of her head tonight. Under the warm yellow light, The girlβs soft and fair profile looked so calm and lovable. Her shallow breath fell on Qin Shaoβs arm, making him a little itchy. He moved his arm slightly. However, Su Bei seemed to feel it. She moved a bit, rubbing her head towards Qin Shaoβs arm, as if looking for a comfortable angle. Qin Shao watched attentively, unmoving. Su Beiβs long eyelashes seemed to flicker a few times, but she did not wake up.
Another question popped inside Mr. Qinβs mind: Should he carry her? Or wake her wake up and let her go to bed by herself?
Su Bei was sleeping so soundly, making him unwilling to wake her up.
Should he just carry her back to her room?
Mr. Qin frowned. His face filled with unfamiliar dilemmas.
β
Suddenly, the phone in Su Beiβs hand lit up, taking Mr. Qinβs attention. He didnβt like the fact that children now always have to hold mobile phones even when they eat and sleep.
Shaking his head, Qin Shao took the mobile phone that almost fell from Su Beiβs hands and placed it on the table next to him.
At this moment, a stream of new messages popped up:
[vvvv: Darling, are you asleep?]
[vvvv: Please, donβt sleep, ah! I have something to tell you. I need you right now. I really need you!]
[vvvv: Call, call!]
[vvvv: Darling? Honey? Baby? Are you there?]
[vvvv: If you donβt answer me, I will give you a serial call to death.]
