Chapter 313: Chapter 313: Dad
"If others are wrong, that’s the only time I’ll step in. If you make a mistake, I won’t take your side. That way, it becomes you bullying others. When someone bullies you and you feel wronged, we feel upset. But on the flip side, if you bully others, they feel wronged, and their families feel upset. Just as we don’t want to be bullied, we shouldn’t bully others either." Zhao Gushen explained to Xiao Mo.
He was a bit worried that the little child might not fully understand boundaries.
Suddenly having a strong backer might lead to letting loose.
Especially after so much repression, hidden emotions are more prone to erupt.
The little guy puffed out his cheeks in frustration and said, "I’m not that kind of bad kid! How can you think that of me? I never bully others, never!"
"Sorry, it’s my fault." Zhao Gushen rarely yielded to Xiao Mo, "I know you’re a good kid and wouldn’t bully others. I was overthinking."
"Hmph!" The little guy pouted unhappily.
"I’ve discussed with Xiao Fei about you moving to my place to live, okay?" Zhao Gushen said to Xiao Mo.
"Your place?" Xiao Mo was surprised. Are they leaving?
Leaving the house where he had lived for so long.
"I misspoke, it should be our home. In the future, wherever we may be, the three of us will live together. Anywhere the three of us are is home," said Zhao Gushen.
Xiao Mo’s gaze was a bit dazed, as if he was envisioning that picture.
Ye Fei then explained, "Now that we’ve reunited, it’s not good to make Dad come here every day to sleep on the sofa. Our home doesn’t have enough space. So we talked about staying at Dad’s; he has more rooms."
"And, Dad has planned out, besides giving you a bedroom, he also wants to design a separate game room for you. The room will be filled with your toys." Ye Fei pointed to his shelf full of Legos, "In the future, you can set your street series on a big table, continuously adding scenes, and design an entire city."
The little guy’s eyes lit up.
"The rooms at my place are still empty and undecorated. Today you can go with me to have a look and choose any room you like. You can decide how to lay it out. We’ll pick out furniture this afternoon," Zhao Gushen asked, "Sound good?"
"Okay." The little guy nodded obediently, as if he was in a dream.
"Shall we pack up and head out?" Zhao Gushen sought Xiao Mo’s opinion.
Though he usually nags him, he still felt tenderhearted towards the little guy.
At this moment, Zhao Gushen was uncharacteristically mild-mannered.
Xiao Mo nodded.
Zhao Gushen then got up and prepared to head out.
Suddenly, his sleeve was tugged, causing some resistance to his leaving.
Zhao Gushen turned around to see that Ye Fei hadn’t moved.
He looked down, and sure enough, saw the little guy’s small hand clutching his sleeve cuff.
Looking up with a fair, tender little face, a pair of big, round, exceedingly clear eyes.
Zhao Gushen realized that the little guy’s eyes were like Ye Fei’s.
They said the little guy was a spitting image of him.
Generally speaking, the facial features and face shape resembled him.
But the eyes inherited Ye Fei’s appearance.
Big, round, and exceptionally clear.
Ye Fei, even now, her gaze remained clear as if transparent.
Zhao Gushen looked at Xiao Mo, puzzled.
He saw Xiao Mo’s face turning red, his lips moving strenuously.
Finally, he saw the lips touch twice, and a crisp voice emerged: "Dad."
