The unattainable beauty was driven to depravity and madness by a wicked seed.

"it is good."

Just kidding.

Lu Sui was particularly difficult at this time, and Shen Qinghuai indulged him.

Not long after, Liu Qiushui called out to Xiao Lu and came to the door.

The two of them looked over suddenly and found that the door was unlocked, and they both tensed up instantly.

Shen Qinghuai sat up, pressed down on Lu Hou's lower back to prevent him from getting down, and reached out to pull the summer quilt. Before he could cover himself properly, the door lock was turned half a turn, then pushed a little away, and then slammed shut.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to knock."

Liu Qiushui patted her chest.

It was nighttime, and I didn't know if they were wearing shirts or not. Luckily, I didn't push them away in time, so I didn't see anything.

"Mom, is something wrong?"

"There's a wedding tomorrow. I was wondering if Xiao Lu would like to go and attend."

Shen Qinghuai looked down at Lu Sui.

Lu Sui asked, "Are there many people?"

"There are many, and they throw wedding candies and coins from upstairs, which could hit someone on the head. The sequins inside are hard to wash off if they get in your hair, and you might also get stepped on."

"I'm not going."

Shen Qinghuai told Liu Qiushui, "He's not going."

"Alright then, it's already nine o'clock, you guys should go to sleep early."

"understood."

After Liu Qiushui's footsteps faded into the distance, Shen Qinghuai buried his face in Lu Sui's neck and asked, "Why do I feel like I've stolen something?"

"-Love." Lu Sui repeated again, "-Love."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Qinghuai took her breath away. "Ugh."

"Wasn't Xiaobao having a lot of fun just now?"

Shen Qinghuai held Lu Sui's fingers and said, "You have one minute to review the knowledge points we discussed in the bathroom last time. I will test you on it."

This time, Lu Sui was at a disadvantage again. He glared at Shen Qinghuai and said, "Don't be fierce."

"Nothing was dangerous."

One minute later.

Shen Qinghuai asked Lu Sui, "What's the name of this place?"

When Lu Sui woke up the next day, Shen Qinghuai had already hung the bed sheets and duvet cover outside to dry. Liu Qiushui wasn't home. When she came back, she had sequins on her head and shoe prints on her feet. She smiled and gave Lu Sui the candy in her pocket, saying, "Little Lu, have some wedding candy and share in the joy."

"Thank you, Mom."

"You're welcome. Have some Want Want Milk Candy; it's delicious."

Half a month passed in this way. During this time, Wen Chengyu returned for a week, but soon went back to school to study with Chen Ziqiu. In comparison, Shen Qinghuai seemed to have become a tyrannical ruler who was obsessed with beauty.

Shen Qinghuai originally wanted to bring Zhao Wenxiu back for two or three days, but Lu Sui said that the doctor would take good care of her and that the daily meals were very strict and there was a special chef, so he discussed with Liu Qiushui about taking her to Beijing for two days.

Liu Qiushui said no need, she didn't like to travel around and felt there wasn't much to do, and it would be troublesome to come back after going out. Lu Sui said it wasn't troublesome and she could stay with them.

Liu Qiushui waved her hands repeatedly, "No need!"

In the end, they still couldn't withstand it.

When she saw Zhao Wenxiu at the nursing home, she noticed that Zhao Wenxiu had a rosy complexion, was well-cared for, dressed nicely, and looked very energetic. Her eyes welled up with tears for a moment.

When Zhao Wenxiu saw Lu Sui, she shared her snacks with him. Lu Sui said he didn't want them, but Zhao Wenxiu insisted on giving them to him and was only happy when she saw him eat them.

Shen Qinghuai made a travel guide on his phone and took Lu Sui and Liu Qiushui to play for three days, but Liu Qiushui really couldn't adapt. After a week, she said she wanted to go back to Wutong Town, and Shen Qinghuai drove her there.

He dropped her off in the morning and she came back in the afternoon. Lu Sui was waiting for Shen Qinghuai at the apartment. As soon as she heard the noise, she went out barefoot. After being picked up, she said, "Mom doesn't like me."

"How could that be? Your mother loves you very much; she's just not used to being here."

"Really?" Lu Sui's eyes reddened.

"Of course it's true. Your mother passed on her most precious bracelet to you. You are the son she has chosen. You should have confidence in yourself."

Lu Sui said, "I'm a little sad."

"Shall we go back and stay for a few more days?"

"Not really."

"Have you had enough fun?"

"A little."

Lu Suizhen felt sad that Liu Qiushui had left. At this moment, he felt that Shen Qinghuai was covered in sweat but did not mind not letting him hug him. He finally found a suitable word to say, "I feel empty inside."

"Yeah, me too, but my mom feels uncomfortable."

"I don't want to make her feel uncomfortable."

"I'll bring her here more often in the future, or go back to see her on Sundays."

"it is good."

That evening, Lu Sui saw sesame peanut salt made by Liu Qiushui in the refrigerator and became sad again. She took Shen Qinghuai's phone and video-called Liu Qiushui. The next day, after Chen Jingmo and Jiang Xiu arrived, her depressed mood disappeared by more than half, and she took out the pretty marbles she had hidden away.

"What is this? A glass bead? It's quite pretty." Chen Jingmo tossed it up, then, seeing that the bottle was plastic, said that Lu Sui was simply wasting a good thing.

Jiang Xiu said, "Boss, why did you buy so much?"

"Cheap."

Chen Jingmo picked up a plastic bottle and rummaged through it. Hearing this, he asked, "How cheap is it?"

"One cent each."

"How much?!" Chen Jingmo's voice cracked slightly. "Did Shen Qinghuai take you to buy it with Zhenli?"

What is truth?

Jiang Xiu said, "biubiu."

"Can't understand."

"Stop with the 'biubiu' sound. You think you're so cute? Just say 'gun' and that's it." Chen Jingmo snatched the bead from Jiang Xiu's hand.

Lu Sui said that taking a gun was illegal, and that this was not a glass bead.

Chen Jingmo felt that Lu Sui meant he was too ignorant, and he lay on the carpet acting spoiled, "I don't care, this is a glass bead."

"Oh, I didn't bring you any pastries, did you eat shit?"

"..."

Why bring this up out of the blue?

It's really embarrassing.

Seeing Chen Jingmo's discomfiture, Lu Sui snorted. Shen Qinghuai brought over some pastries, and he pointed to one that looked like poop, "Eat it."

Jiang Xiu laughed so hard he pounded the ground.

Chen Jingmo asked, "...Who made it?"

Lu Sui said, "Me."

Chen Jingmo ate it.

Shen Qinghuai went to cook, and after he finished cooking, he saw the three of them playing jacks. For a moment, he felt like he was taking care of three children.

After dinner, around 8:00 PM, Chen Jingmo and Jiang Xiu exchanged a glance, put away their phones, and stood up.

Chen Jingmo walked over to Lu Sui and said, "Come on, let's go downstairs and have a walk."

Lu Sui glanced at the blueprints and continued building Lego. "It's too hot, I'm not going."

"Go ahead, there's a puppy downstairs."

"dislike."

There's a kitten.

"dislike."

"There are giraffes."

"That's a lie."

"..."

Chen Jingmo squatted down. "I heard that Spring Art Gallery has received another painting by the number '7,' which will be auctioned next week."

"oh."

"...Let's go downstairs for a spin. I'm a great driver, I'll show you how to drift."

Lu Sui was annoyed by Chen Jingmo's nagging, calling him a broken record, but he still followed them downstairs. Shen Qinghuai said to pack some things, but he didn't know what to pack.

As soon as they got downstairs, Lu Sui wanted to go up, but Chen Jingmo wouldn't let her, saying that they couldn't give up halfway.

"I hate you." Lu Sui glared at Chen Jingmo.

Chen Jingmo gritted his teeth and said stubbornly, "It's practically harmless."

"You stinky man."

"Heh, still no threat."

"Bad guy."

"It's even less lethal now."

Jiang Xiu patted Chen Jingmo on the shoulder, "Don't bully my boss."

"...So you two are in cahoots again, huh?"

Lu Sui didn't want to leave, but Chen Jingmo pushed him along, making him so angry that he stood under a streetlight and bristled. Nothing he said worked. Jiang Xiu ran to buy three ice creams, giving Lu Sui the most expensive one, and said, "Boss, let's ignore him and go home for some water."

Chen Jingmo: Damn it, I've become the bad guy again.

Jiang Xiu was too shrewd, and Chen Jingmo, unable to contain his anger, kicked him from behind.

At the door, Lu Sui unlocked the door with his fingerprint, and Shen Qinghuai was still blowing up balloons after the door opened.

"...What are you doing?"

Shen Qinghuai looked at Chen Jingmo, who pointed at Jiang Xiu. Jiang Xiu shook his head so hard it was almost like a rattle drum. Wait, why are they blowing up balloons? Do they need to blow up balloons?

"Boss, my brother said he wants some water, I have to go home and get him some, I'm off now."

"Ahem, Lu Sui, I also have something to attend to."

Lu Sui said goodbye to them, took another bite of her ice cream, went inside, and closed the door. "What are you doing?"

Shen Qinghuai swallowed hard, his hand slipping as he dropped the balloon. With a "pop," the balloon flew wildly through the air. "I guess I want you to wear a ring."

Lu Sui followed the balloon's flight with his gaze and asked, "What ring?"
