Gong Yao raised his head and looked at Shi Xiaonian, putting down the thing in his hands, his young and tender voice did not have the slightest fluctuation, "What I am pinching is a sunflower flower."
Not egg yolk.
"…"
The whole kitchen was silent.
Sunflower.
How did it look like a sunflower, it was clearly a ball of egg yolk.
"Pfft."
Bob, who had been standing quietly beside Shi Xiaonian, could not hold back and laughed. Soon after, Gong Kui also laughed at them mercilessly.Gong Ou stood there, and his black eyes swept past them. Then, he picked up the yellow blush and placed it in Gong Yao's hand, as he coldly asked, "Who allowed you to put it down? If others say you're not good, then you give up? Is there anyone who would do this? "
"…"
Gong Yao stood on the chair and listened silently, his eyes half-closed."Even if the whole world says you are not good, no, you can't give up, you have to prove it yourself to others, you can! Otherwise, what's the point in living on? " Gong Ou said in a serious tone.
Shi Xiaonian stopped smiling and looked towards Gong Ou in surprise. She suddenly thought back to the time when she had lost her food and water in the forest. When they came out, Gong Ou had also talked to her in this way.
If others don't believe you, then try to find evidence and slap it back on that person's head! What's the use of dying!This was exactly the tone he had at that time.
It was as if she was hit on the head, waking her up.Gong Ou is that kind of person, even though he was the one who instigated this, but in the end, he still reprimanded you for a reason, and yet, you still think that it's so good!
Just as Shi Xiaonian was thinking this, she saw Gong Yao look at him and then start to pinch the sunflower again. It seemed like he felt that Gong Ou's words were to be logical, it was just like what she said all those years ago.
"This is more like I, Gong Ou's son!"
Gong Ou said in satisfaction."…"
Gong Yao silently pinched on the Sunflower, Gong Ou at the side disdained him, but Gong Yao also did not say anything, allowing him to despise him as he pleased, becoming braver the more frustrated he became, and never giving up.
The enigmatic relationship between father and son.
Shi Xiaonian laughed, her eyes filled with warmth.Gong Kui giggled, and would occasionally help Gong Yao.
Bob stood watching them with eyes full of envy.When Feng De walked into the kitchen, he heard a lot of laughter. As the flour flew in the air, two adults and three children were getting along harmoniously.
"Young Master."Feng De said.
Gong Ou was looking down at the egg yolk in Gong Yao's hands, and when he heard him, he looked up at Feng De and asked, "What is it?"
"That …" Just as Feng De was about to say something, he suddenly looked at Bob who was beside him. "Young Master, you have made progress on something you are most concerned about, do you want to go over and take a look now?"
Hearing this, Gong Ou's black eyes darkened, and he said with a cold voice. "Understood."
He turned around to look at Shi Xiaonian, and said, "I'll go over first."
"Alright."
Shi Xiaonian nodded as she watched him and Feng De leave. She lowered her eyes to look at the pile of pastries on the table, then turned her gaze to Bob who was standing there earnestly learning how to make pastries.
Maybe Tang Yi woke up.
Bob held the ball of flour in his hand, and a smile appeared on his fair and clear little face. His eyes sparkled as he looked at Shi Xiaonian, and he raised the dough in his hands.
"Well done."
Shi Xiaonian smiled.
"…"
Being praised, Bob smiled shyly and lowered his head so that no one would see he was smiling.
Shi Xiaonian stood there and looked at him, deep in thought. She wondered if Tang Yi could become a competent mother that could bring Bob joy.
The child's smile was so beautiful that she did not want it to vanish.Everyone pinched her pastries, and Shi Xiaonian put them into the oven to wash their hands. After a long time, they only heard a "ding" sound, and then, the oven indicated that they were done cooking.
Gong Kui immediately chased after him and shouted, "I want to eat Holly's Sunflower Biscuit, I want Sunflower Biscuit!"
"Don't worry, it'll be here soon."
Shi Xiaonian said, she put on the thermal gloves and opened the oven door, then took out the plate covered with biscuits and placed it on the table, dispersing the heat.
"Just wait a bit before eating. Don't worry.""Alright!"
After a long while, Gong Kui finally grabbed the Sunflower Biscuit and put it into his mouth. It was still so hot that she kept spitting out her tongue.
Shi Xiaonian smiled and said, "Come, I will share what you guys have made with you, and taste if what you've made tastes good or not."Shi Xiaonian split the biscuits one by one onto a plate, and then handed a plate of heart-shaped biscuits over to Bob. "Bob, you made this, try it."
"…"
Bob took the plate carefully and stared at her.
Shi Xiaonian bent over and continued splitting the biscuit. The apron around her waist was tugged, causing her to look down, only to see Bob standing there looking at her. He extended his hand out, revealing a piece of heart shaped biscuit.
Shi Xiaonian was startled for a few seconds, then understood what he meant: "You want to invite me to eat? "Thank you."
She took the biscuit, put it in her mouth, and took a bite.Upon hearing this, Bob looked at her with some excitement. His two small hands clenched into a fist and his lips moved a few times. Finally, he asked with great difficulty, "You, you like it?"
"I like it. Auntie really likes it."
Shi Xiaonian said with a smile, as she placed the biscuit into her mouth and continued working.
Suddenly, a tender voice sounded beside her. "Be … be my mother."
The voice was filled with anxiety and anticipation.
"…"
Shi Xiaonian was completely stunned as she looked down at Bob. There was still a biscuit in her mouth, and she couldn't say a single word.
Bob stood there, his face red, his small hands wringing harder. He looked at her, nervous.
Shi Xiaonian looked at him in a daze.
Gong Yao who was at the side and Gong Kui who was eating biscuits also looked at Bob with a surprised expression.
After a while, Gong Kui started to giggle, "Mom, just be his mother, so I can have a big brother!"
"You have a brother."
Gong Yao poured cold water on her.
Bob stood there, not caring about what Gong Kui and the others said, and only looked at Shi Xiaonian. Those eyes of her had lost their previous viciousness, only leaving behind the purest hope of a child.Shi Xiaonian ate the biscuit in her mouth, pulled Bob along and left, saying to the twins, "You guys go learn, I'll take Bob and leave for a while."
Shi Xiaonian pulled Bob outside and into a quiet living room. She sat down on the sofa and held Bob's arm with both hands, staring at him with her clear black and white eyes. "Bob, auntie and you have a good chat, okay?""…"
Hearing this, Bob seemed to have understood something. His face became even redder and a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes.
"You said that you want auntie to be your mother, auntie is truly touched. Thank you for allowing me to take on such a great responsibility." Shi Xiaonian stared at him and said, "But Bob has a mother, she's just not here for now, she'll be back."
Bob stood in front of her, bowed his head, bit his lower lip a few times, and said, "She … she doesn't want me anymore."
Back then, Tang Yi was indeed very selfish. But no matter what, once she escaped, she secretly went to see Bob. She still had a bit of a mother's conscience.
Shi Xiaonian didn't want to discredit his mother in front of Bob, so she took out her phone and called out a photo that she had taken of Bob and the twins in the supermarket.
"Look." Shi Xiaonian pulled Bob into her embrace, zoomed in on the photo, and pointed at the person that revealed half of his figure behind the shelves, "That's your mother, she's been secretly watching you."Bob stretched out his small hand and grabbed her phone. He looked at the blurry figure and asked stiffly, "Secretly?"
"Well, Bob's mom had a little problem and will pick you up when she's done with it, okay?"Shi Xiaonian said gently.
Bob was thin, only short, and she didn't want to hug him even when he was in her arms. He looked at her, moved his lips a few more times, and finally bowed his head helplessly.
"What is it? Just say it directly in front of auntie, okay?"Shi Xiaonian encouraged her softly.
Hearing this, Bob mustered up the courage to look at her again, pointing with his pinky finger, "I … I want you to be a mother, not her."It was rare for Bob to say such a long sentence, but Shi Xiaonian did not expect it to be this sentence.
She never thought that Bob would have such deep feelings for her. She took care of Bob because he was too pitiful and because she was afraid of his vicious personality, or it was because he protected Solanum nigrum that she brought him home.
However, she didn't expect Bob to unknowingly think of her as his mother. With his character, if it wasn't because he had too much hope in his heart, he would never speak up.
And from the beginning to the end, she had never thought of adopting Bob.All of a sudden, Shi Xiaonian didn't know how to face this child's eyes that she looked forward to the most. She looked at him and said, "But Bob has her own mother. In the future when Bob and Mom go back, they can also come here often to play with aunties and siblings. "
Bob was a very sensitive child, and he struggled out of Shi Xiaonian's arms with a hint of resistance, as if he knew everything.
Shi Xiaonian carried him back.
Bob struggled again. Shi Xiaonian did not let him struggle free, he only stopped moving, and looked at her for a long time. Then she slowly said, "I … naughtily."Shi Xiaonian frowned her eyebrows, "Who said that we, Bob, are a bad child? Bob is a big brother with a lot of responsibilities, and when the Solanum nigrum was bullied, it was you who helped, right?"
"Then, you don't want me?"
Bob paused, clearly disappointed."Little fool." Shi Xiaonian looked at him, "Everyone has their own mother. No matter what, staying with their own mother is always the first choice, do you understand?"
"I don't want her." Bob spoke quickly this time. "She doesn't want me, either."
It was really hard to say if Tang Yi could take good care of Bob in his current state.
"…"Shi Xiaonian didn't know what to say.
Bob grabbed her sleeve and looked at her steadily, saying with some urgency, "Be my mother, I … I … I'm a good child. I … I … I don't fight. I … I don't bite."
