☆、Chapter 61

When Xia Zichen woke up, it was just after seven o'clock in the morning, and there was no trace of Gu Xu around, but he didn't feel disappointed. Before going to bed yesterday, Gu Xu had already told him that he would go for a morning run with Gu Yan at seven o'clock, but if Gu Xu lived in this house and Gu Yan didn't stay overnight, the two would run together in the morning.

Xia Zichen felt that this was indeed a good way. On the one hand, it could exercise the body, and on the other hand, it could also connect the feelings between brothers. Gu Xu has the habit of getting up early to exercise, but not every day, only occasionally gets up early to go for a run. He also tried to pull Xia Zichen together. Getting up early was not difficult for Xia Zichen, but Xia Zichen really didn't like running. He would rather get up early to make breakfast for Gu Xu than run on an empty stomach and sweat.

After trying several times, Gu Xu no longer forced him, and changed the morning run to a walk after dinner. This Xia Zichen is completely acceptable. The two of them are holding hands and walking slowly, which Gu Xu also thinks is a kind of enjoyment.

When Xia Zichen went downstairs, the main house of the Gu family was still very quiet, with only a few servants walking around quietly on the first floor. Seeing him go downstairs, they all stopped and asked him the morning, and Xia Zichen responded politely. Through the large floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, Xia Zichen saw that Butler Fu was instructing several servants to sweep the yard. Although there are no fallen leaves in this season, but the cold wind blows all night, and the dust in the yard is naturally indispensable.

Walking through the main living room, Xia Zichen saw Gu Han sitting in the side hall eating breakfast. The early morning sun shines in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, with a white halo, not dazzling, but very warm.

Looking up to see him, Gu Han smiled and waved, "Good morning, come over for dinner, it will take a while for the eldest brother and the fourth to come back."

Xia Zichen replied "Morning" and walked over. The place that Gu Han picked was probably the most sunny place in Gu's family right now. Although the dining room was the place for serious meals, it was extraordinarily life-like to be nestled in this small side hall.

Butler Fu heard that Xia Zichen had woken up, so he walked in quickly, "Morning young master, what do you want for breakfast? The kitchen has buns, shumai, bread, fried eggs and grilled sausages, or you can eat something else. do it for you."

Since last night, Master and Madam Gu recognized Xia Zichen and began to call him the Little Demon Empress. Xia Zichen changed from "Master Xia" to "Little Master". Xia Zichen knew that this was a sign that everyone accepted him. It's better to accept it awkwardly, after all, it's a good intention.

Xia Zichen glanced at Gu Han's breakfast, the steamed dumplings that had just come out of the oven were still steaming, and the thin bun skin could faintly see the stuffing inside, which well aroused Xia Zichen's appetite.

"Just eat the same as the second brother." Xia Zichen said.

"Okay, wait a moment." Butler Fu smiled and nodded, and left the side hall with the servant.

"Sit." Gu Han pointed to the seat opposite him, "My parents and the third child are still adjusting the jet lag. We don't get up so early, so let's eat first."

The Gu family eats more casually, and does not require everyone to eat together.

Xia Zichen sat across from him, the servant brought him a glass of honey water, and then backed out.

"Second brother just got off the plane yesterday, right? Why don't you sleep more?" Although he didn't know where Gu Han flew back from, flying on a plane does make people feel tired.

"I'm used to it, just sleep a little longer in the afternoon." Gu Han smiled and ate slowly, "This year, in addition to sitting in the hospital, I have followed my tutor to run domestically and abroad, and do medical research. I haven't had time to come back all the time. I heard from my eldest brother that the fourth brother has found someone to settle down. It was quite unexpected at first, but I am relieved to hear that you are getting along well."

"So busy?" Gu Xu mentioned this second brother, but did not elaborate, Xia Zichen thought that this second brother had also settled abroad.

"Well, I'm done with work next month. I'm going to be a doctor with peace of mind and take a rest."

"Stay in the country?"

"I'm still thinking about it." Although he was still thinking about it, Gu Han's expression seemed to have an answer.

Xia Zichen didn't ask much, if Gu Han stayed in the country, Gu Xu would definitely tell him.

Xia Zichen's breakfast was brought up quickly, and Butler Fu also brought two shumai specially for Xia Zichen to taste.

Gu □ was almost done eating, so he leaned back in the chair and drank coffee while looking at Xia Zichen, "Aren't you bored with the fourth child?"

Xia Zichen looked up at him, smiled and shook his head, "Gu Xu is very good, he won't be bored." He knew that Gu Han cared about them, and he didn't avoid it.

"It's okay if you like him." Gu Han teased and didn't hide it.

"A lot of people in the school like him." Although no one dared to confess to Gu Xu, Xia Zichen still learned a lot of gossip from An Jing.

"The fourth brother is good in everything else, but he doesn't care about people. If you say it's good, it's cold, and if it's not good, it's arrogant." Speaking of Gu Xu, Gu Han didn't save face for his younger brother at all. "Although he is very kind to his family, we are all worried that he will end up alone in the end. He will definitely ignore what he doesn't like, but what he likes, with his personality, probably drives people away."

"It's okay." Xia Zichen finished eating a steamed bun and continued: "Gu Xu is someone who needs to spend time with each other in order to find his attentiveness, and he can definitely do what he said, which is rare."

Many people say it well, but it becomes a different thing when it is done, so Gu Xu does what he says, and his personality that does not promise easily becomes particularly valuable.

Gu Han nodded, now that many people's love has become material first, it is difficult to get along with the other half with heart. This is especially true for the Gu family. What others see will always be their family property, not their person. Therefore, it is extremely rare for the Gu family to get along with Gu Xu and Xia Zichen.

I heard from Gu Xu that Xia Zichen first met him in the game, and at that time he didn't even know what he looked like behind the game character. When the two were determined to be together, Xia Zichen didn't know anything about the Gu family. In this way, the feeling of coming together because of liking each other is the most reliable in the eyes of the Gu family.

To put it badly, if one day the Gu family fell, those who claimed to like them would probably run faster than anyone else, but Xia Zichen would not, he would always accompany Gu Xu. This is also the reason why the Gu family accepted Xia Zichen so quickly.

"Although the fourth child's own company is doing well now, but in a few years, when my father is ready to let go of it completely, he still has to go back home to help the elder brother." Gu Han told Xia Zichen about the Gu family without hesitation. "I didn't want to take care of the Gu family's family business at first, so I simply went to study medicine. Now I can't even let me take care of me."

The corner of Gu □'s mouth evoked a successful smile, and continued: "My mother is an only child, and my grandfather also needs an heir. Originally, the third and fourth are good candidates, but the third is more likely to play tricks, and he has been I was worried that the fourth child would be in danger, so the third child took over in the end. In this way, the fourth child is left to help the elder brother, otherwise the elder brother would be too hard on his own."

"If the fourth child is too busy in the future, you should take more care." Finally, Gu Han revealed his original intention of saying the above words.

Xia Zichen smiled and nodded. From Gu Han's words, Xia Zichen felt more that he cared about his family, hoped that the brothers would take care of each other, and hoped that he and Gu Xu would not have conflicts because of the busyness of Gu's family business. Xia Zichen appreciates and likes the kindness of family members at this moment.

"I heard that you have started to help the fourth child now?"

"It doesn't count, it's just learning in the company." Xia Zichen smiled. He went to an internship, and the learning component was more than helping. Although he was already doing some cashier accounts, it was not particularly difficult.

"I heard from the boss that you did a good job. In the future, you have to pay more attention to our family affairs. It's your own family, so I won't be polite to you." Gu □ smiled and touched his coffee cup. Xia Zichen's.

"I try my best." Xia Zichen's starting point was not to help the Gu family, he just wanted to help Gu Xu. For him, Gu Xu's weight is far more important than the Gu family.

While the two were talking, Gu Xu, who had returned from the morning run, walked into the side hall, still wearing sportswear. Gu Yan had already gone upstairs to take a shower.

"Second brother is early." Gu Xu said hello, and then said to Xia Zichen, "Why don't you sleep more?"

"Wake up when you wake up." Xia Zichen smiled.

Sitting next to Xia Zichen, Gu Xu took a sip of the honey water that Xia Zichen had drunk before.

Xia Zichen put a bun into the butterfly and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

"Well." Gu Xu leaned over and had no plans to do it himself.

Xia Zichen reluctantly picked up the bun and put it into Gu Xu's mouth.

"It tastes good." After eating what was in his mouth, Gu Xu nodded, "Eat with me later."

"I'm full." While chatting with Gu □, he had already eaten a lot.

"Then sit with me for a while." Gu Xu squeezed Xia Zichen's hand.

Xia Zichen smiled and pushed him, "Go take a shower first."

Gu Xu responded and said a few more words to Gu Han, then turned and went upstairs.

Holding a coffee cup, Gu □ just saw the natural interaction between his younger brother and Xia Zichen, which made him suddenly feel that it would be good to find someone suitable for him to live a simple life.

After lunch, the two of them drove away from Gu's house without returning to their place, but went directly to Xia Zichen's house. This Sunday, it stands to reason that Xia Yuze should rest.

Opening the door, Xia Yuze was indeed at home. Xia Zichen entered the door and said, "Dad, I'm back."

Hearing the voice, Xia Yuze came out of the study, saw his son and Gu Xu, and said unexpectedly, "Why did you come back all of a sudden?" On Friday, Xia Zichen told him that he was going to Gu Xu's house and would not be back this week.

"Uncle." Gu Xu called out.

"Yeah." Xia Yuze responded, "Come in."

"Uncle and aunt asked to bring something for you, so they came right over." Xia Zichen changed his slippers, took the things from Gu Xu's hand, and put them on the coffee table in the living room. In addition to Gu Yan's coffee and Gu □'s health care products, there are also some food prepared by Gu's mother, and of course, the scarf that Gu Xu bought.

"Your parents are too polite, thank them for me." Xia Yuze said to Gu Xu.

"Okay." Gu Xu nodded and said again: "Big brother gave me a box of Blue Mountains, it tastes good, does my uncle drink it now?"

Hearing Lan Shan, Xia Yuze had some smiles in his eyes, and then nodded.

Gu Xu didn't say much, and after washing his hands, he took out the coffee and went into the kitchen. Although Xia Yuze also likes to make coffee, and Xia Zichen also cooks it, but when it comes to quality, Gu Xu's is the best.

After Gu Xu entered the kitchen, Xia Zichen turned his eyes to Xia Yuze, frowned slightly, and asked, "Dad, have you been busy with work lately?"

Although there was a smile on the corner of Xia Yuze's mouth, his face was not very good, and he was a little blue now. He seemed to be lack of sleep, and he was a little thin.

"It's okay." Xia Yuze said vaguely.

"No matter how important work is, you have to take a good rest." Xia Zichen looked at her father and felt that something was wrong.

In the past, his father was also very busy with work, but no matter how busy he was, he would at most look tired and just get a good night's sleep, but now his father makes Xia Zichen feel like he has something to worry about and is uneasy.

And since the family's economy stabilized, Xia Yuze would eat and sleep no matter how much he worked, so Xia Zichen hadn't seen his father with dark circles for a long time.

After a pause, Xia Zichen suddenly asked, "Dad, aren't you sick?"

"No, I just had a physical examination last week, and the results are normal." Looking at Xia Zichen, who was a little nervous, Xia Yuze couldn't tell how he felt.

"It's fine." Hearing what his father said, Xia Zichen felt a little relieved. Guessing that it might be something annoying at work, Xia Zichen didn't ask any more questions.

The three of them drank coffee and chatted for an afternoon. Gu Xu and Xia Yuze set a time for the parents of the two sides to meet. After dinner, Xia Zichen and Gu Xu returned to their apartment.

Although Xia Zichen was still a little uneasy, he didn't see any reason in Xia Yuze, so he had to put it aside for the time being.

After class on Thursday, Xia Zichen was going to find his father for a meal before going to the company. Xia Yuze's face with dark circles has been shaking in his mind these days. In order to reassure himself, Xia Zichen is going to take his father to have a good meal to make up for it. Anyway, his internship salary is not used in the card. Please, please Father's meal is the right way.

After leaving the subway entrance, Xia Zichen just walked downstairs to the office where Xia Yuze was working, when Xia Zichen saw a man pulling his father, his father's face was ugly, but it was not good to quarrel with him downstairs. It was lunch rush hour, and there were a lot of people coming and going downstairs in the company. Everyone paid attention to the two people who were arguing in a low voice, intentionally or unintentionally, and some people even pointed at them in a low voice.

Xia Zichen paused in his footsteps, and after seeing the man who was pulling his father, his face suddenly sank, and his politeness and upbringing were also left behind, and he rushed forward.
