    "Apologize?" Xu Jianian looked at him suspiciously.

    Zhou Kai was stabbed by his distrustful attitude, so...has he hated him so much already?

    Seeing Xu Jianian's expression was a little impatient, he said hastily, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were lactose intolerant before."

    Xu Jianian closed his eyes, resisting the desire to roll his eyes, "Oh, it's just a bottle of milk, there's no need to apologize."

    "It's not just that one bottle." Zhou Kai said, "You obviously can't drink milk, but you spent so much money for my endorsement—"

    "It's all donated," Xu Jianian interrupted him, "It can be regarded as the money I spent for the recipients, and it has nothing to do with you."

    Zhou Kai choked, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Yes, in fact, the money you spent on supporting me in the past was far more than that."

    Albums, peripherals, and endorsement products, in fact, you don’t need to buy that much.

    Xu Jianian frowned: "What exactly do you want to say?"

    Zhou Kai realized that he was really impatient with himself, and lowered his eyes in disappointment: "I'm sorry, you gave me the money to support me, I will find a way to calculate it and return it to you—"

    "No need."

    Xu Jianian said: "The money can be repaid, but the energy and intentions spent at the beginning are priceless. You make it seem that what I did before is worthless and meaningless."

    Zhou Kai froze, "I didn't mean that, I...I just feel...I'm sorry for you."

    "Just because I spent a lot of money on you in the past?" Xu Jianian asked him, "What is there to be sorry for when an adult trades in a sane state?"

    He found it ridiculous that the other party didn't even realize what was wrong with him, so he came to him to apologize.

    Zhou Kai choked: "...but...but I can't take what you did for me for granted."

    Xu Jianian pulled the corner of his lower lip: "So you used to take all these things for granted? Then every time you thank the fans, don't you mean it sincerely? Do you actually feel in your heart that they just did what they should do?"

    "I haven't." Zhou Kai hastily denied, "I——I..."

    He suddenly found himself unable to refute.

    When he was liked and pursued at the beginning, he was really grateful.

    But then he seemed to gradually get used to it, and he would no longer be moved by these kindnesses, and thanking him became a formulaic task, and he lost his sincerity.

    Xu Jianian advised him: "Think about it yourself, is there anything you can do to the former Xu Jianian?"

    "Whether there is or not, you don't have to come to me again after you figure it out."

    Xu Jianian said to him: "In the past, Xu Jianian might need your apology, but now I don't."

    "Please keep a distance from me and don't disturb my life. This is just the most basic respect between people, I hope you can do it."

    Zhou Kai looked at him in astonishment, as if he didn't expect him to speak so decisively.

    It turned out that Xu Jianian hated him to the point of "out of sight, out of mind".

    And what he thought was a gesture of favor and apology, in the eyes of the other party, it was both disturbing and disrespectful.

    At this time, the staff in the program monitoring room saw Zhou Kai knocking on the door of Xu Jianian's room and standing at the door talking to him.

    Since the bathroom was unlocked, viewers always ran to the program's official blog and asked the program team to install a camera in it.

    But the bathroom involves the privacy of the guests, and the camera must not be installed.

    The program team thought about installing it in a room outside the bathroom, but considering that the guests participate in the live broadcast all day long, they always need a space to take a breath and whisper something, so they decided against it.

    However, in order to slightly satisfy the audience who wanted to watch more content, the program group still informed the four groups of guests that two cameras were installed in the corridor outside the room door.

    These two cameras do not broadcast live, but only record some images, and if they are interesting enough, they will be cut into the edited version.

    "What are they talking about?" the director asked excitedly watching this scene.

    The assistant director said, "I don't know, and I didn't bring a mic."

    The director smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't bring the mic. When the time comes, this part will be cut into the trailer, and the title will be "Zhou Kai Knocks on Xu Jianian's Door Late at Night, Talking to His Ex-Fans."

    The assistant director was speechless: "Brother Pang, did you forget Teacher Zhang's warning?"

    Director Pang tightened his scalp: "Hey, I'm just talking."

    Zhang Peiwen, a retired senior in Taili, one of the sponsors of the show - the wife of the former chairman of Donglai Group, and the mother of Lin He, the current president.

    Because the program team interacted with the audience’s barrage last time, and asked Zhou Kai if he knew about Xu Jianian’s star chasing ID, Zhang Peiwen specifically contacted Director Pang and gently warned him not to use her family’s Jia Nian star chasing business for the sake of ratings.Article, exposing his privacy.

    Seeing that the director did not forget, the assistant director warned: "Producer Yang also said that she had the cheek to contact Mr. Zhang, so she invited Mr. Lin and the others to come on our show. If you offend someone, she will go to your doorhang yourself."

    "..." Director Pang choked hard, "I know, I know, I will definitely pay attention in the future."

    At this time, Lin He's figure appeared in the screen in the corridor of the cruise ship.

    "Is there something wrong?"

    He looked at Zhou Kai with a frown, and stepped forward to stop him and Xu Jianian.

    Xu Jianian naturally grabbed his arm, hid behind him, and looked at Zhou Kai with a frown.

    It's a bit of a complaint.

    They are justifiably a couple who don't need to keep their distance.

    Zhou Kai was stung by the intimacy in front of him, and looked away in embarrassment, "It's okay, I, I apologize to Jia Nian, I don't know about him not being able to drink milk."

    "Have you finished?" Lin He raised his hand and glanced at his watch, "We'll go in after we've finished."

    His tone was almost indifferent, which made Zhou Kai feel ashamed and angry.

    "Sorry to bother you." He gritted his teeth and turned to leave.

    Looking at his back, Xu Jianian finally breathed a sigh of relief, resting his forehead on Lin He's shoulder, complaining softly, "I'm so annoying."

    Lin He paused, and half of the displeasure at seeing Zhou Kai and Xu Jianian standing together just now dissipated.

    "Leave him."

    He turned around and held Xu Jianian in his arms and pushed open the door, only to see Sui Sui who had already taken a shower stepping back with a flustered expression.

    Xu Jianian was slightly surprised, Lin He frowned slightly.

    Sui Sui immediately lowered her head while clutching her hands: "I'm sorry Dad, I, I wanted to ask you to blow my hair, and I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you."

    Xu Jianian froze for a moment, smiled and walked over to touch his wet head, "It's okay, just call me next time after washing."

    Sui Sui looked at Lin He again, and was relieved to see that he didn't blame him, and followed Xu Jianian into the bathroom.

    Xu Jianian blow-dried Suisui's hair, "Okay, go outside and wait."

    Lin He handed the pajamas to Xu Jianian, and took Sui Sui out.

    Sui Sui was still a little uneasy facing him alone, fearing that he would not like what he had just eavesdropped on.

    "Can you play flying chess with Fang Siyu for a while?" Lin He looked in the direction of the bathroom and said to him suddenly.

    Sui Sui immediately became alert, and asked in a low and uneasy voice, "Are you going to quarrel with Dad?"

    Otherwise why send him away?

    Lin He frowned slightly, and before he could speak, he heard Sui Sui say, "Uncle Zhou came to find Dad by himself, but Dad ignored him and told him not to come again."

    He knows the meaning of chasing stars, but his father has already lost his fan, and he doesn't "like" that Uncle Zhou anymore.

    Father can't... can't be angry because of this.

    Lin He laughed and patted his head: "Don't guess, I won't quarrel with your father."

    Suisui: "Really?"

    Lin He: "Really, I will send you to Fang Siyu's place first, and we will pick you up later, you can ask him yourself."

    Sui Sui was skeptical, nodded, and was sent to the next door.

    In the bathroom, Xu Jianian, who was taking a shower, heard a knock on the door.

    "What's wrong?"

    Lin He said, "Open the door."

    Xu Jianian turned off the shower, covered his body with a towel, and opened the door a crack.

    Unexpectedly, the man pushed open the door and barged in, then locked the door behind his back.

    Xu Jianian blinked, pursed his lips and held back a smile and said, "Did Suisui go to play next door?"

    "Um."

    Lin He hugged him by the waist, walked to the shower to turn on the water again, and asked him, "What did he just tell you?"

    Warm water washed Xu Jianian's back, and the bath around his body spread out, falling on his legs wrapped around Lin He's waist.

    "I'm sorry, and I want to pay back the money I spent before." He put his arms around Lin He's neck and said, "I'll let him stay where he is, the Xu Jianian in the past may need his apology, but now I don't..”

    Lin He raised his lips slightly, and pressed close to the corner of his lips, and asked hoarsely, "Then what do you want?"

    Xu Jianian laughed, rolled his eyes, and mouthed four words.

    Lin He's eyes darkened, his breathing sank, and he kissed his lips hard.

    Sui Sui played next door for more than half an hour. The more he waited, the more anxious he became, and he wanted to go back and have a look.

    Fang Luchen, who came here, understood what Lin He meant when he sent him here, and comforted him: "Don't worry, your fathers are in a relationship, give them some time to whisper."

    Lu Yiwei, who was covering her hair with a dry hair cap and was applying a mask, gave him a white look.

    Sui Sui is skeptical: Will my father fall in love?

    He and his father got married soon after they met, and they haven't had much love affairs. It should be... not so good, right?

    "Dating...how do we talk about it?" He asked Fang Luchen for advice.

    "This is dating..." Fang Luchen pushed his glasses, pretending to be profound, "It still needs a little skill."

    "I know!" Fang Siyu interrupted him suddenly, "I want to send flowers, gifts, and often say 'wife, I love you', 'wife, I'm wrong'."

    Fang Luchen and Lu Yiwei were taken aback for a moment, and the latter kicked the former lightly: Make you grin in front of the children!

    "Hey, Siyu is right." Fang Luchen said seriously, "Dating is when two people who like each other get along well, care about each other, take care of each other, often confess to each other, and give each other some small surprises."

    You must also be able to do it - but you don't need to tell the children about this.

    After listening to Sui Sui, feel thoughtful.

    That being said, father and father are quite good at dating, and they know what Uncle Fang said.

    They will kiss too!

    After another half an hour, Lin He finally came to pick him up.

    "Where's Dad?" Sui Sui looked behind him.

    Lin He met Fang Luchen and his wife's teasing eyes, and said without changing his face: "He's tired, so go back to sleep first."

    Sui Sui suspected: "Dad went back by himself?" Could it be because of a quarrel and anger?

    "I sent him back, I'm here to pick you up now." Lin He stretched out his hand towards him.

    Only then did Sui Sui feel relieved, handed him his little hand, turned to say goodbye to Fang Siyu's family, and followed Lin He to leave the cruise ship.

    Back in the stone house, he saw that his father was already lying on the bed.

    He quietly leaned over to take a look, and found that his father seemed to have fallen asleep, but his face was very red.

    "Dad's face is so red." He whispered to his father."are you sick?"

    Lin He paused, and reached out to touch Xu Jianian's forehead, "No, maybe the bath water was too hot just now."

    Sui Sui nodded, and then asked in a low voice, "You didn't quarrel, did you?"

    Lin He: "No."

    Sui Sui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    Xu Jianian who pretended to be asleep: "..."

    What did you tell the child, Mr. Lin!

    The sun is rising, another sunny day.

    Xu Jianian got up late, his legs were still a little sore, and he stayed in bed for a while before getting up.

    Lin He had already taken Suisui to the stream to wash, and brought back a fish from the gill net.

    There is still a fish, some clams and sea cucumbers in the fish pond. There is enough food, so there is no need to go to the sea.

    Lin He was digging bark under the eaves, and seeing Xu Jianian came back after rinsing his mouth, he said to him, "There is porridge in the pot."

    Xu Jianian nodded, and sat at the dining table with a small pot in his hand, watching him work while eating.

    Barrage: "Ah~ It's another day of sleeping until I wake up naturally, and I don't have to do anything. I really envy my wife."

    "Ah, what is behind my wife's neck? Something red like a strawberry!"

    "It's not like, it must be the strawberries planted by Mr. Lin!"

    "Woooooo what did they secretly do last night? Why can't they share it?"

    Xu Jianian didn't know that his loose summer dress exposed the hickey on his neck, so he asked Lin He, "How are you going to make the bed?"

    Lin He had just planed off the bark and smoothed the four trunks. He said, "Use these four pieces of wood to form a frame with a mortise and tenon structure, and use bamboo nails to reinforce it. Then break the two bamboo poles, two horizontal and two vertical.Fitted into the frame to make a bed frame."

    "We have an inflatable moisture-proof mattress as a mattress, so we don't need to spread the bed too tightly." Lin He said, "But we still have to test the load-bearing capacity. If it doesn't work, add two more bamboo."

    Xu Jianian nodded, and asked again: "Where are the legs of the bed? Can't you just put the bed frame on the floor to sleep?"

    Lin He smiled, and said, "There is not enough wood. The legs of the bed are made of stones and clay to build six small piers. They don't need to be too high. The main thing is to keep out water and moisture."

    If you use a stump, you have to cut down the tree again.

    Xu Jianian quickly finished his porridge, "Then Sui Sui and I will go to the river to pick up stones, how old are they?"

    Lin He said: "Don't make it too big, just try to make it as flat or square as possible."

    Xu Jianian nodded, and Sui Sui put on sun protection clothing and a hat, and went to the stream with a tarp.

    The whole family spent the whole morning making a bed frame, and before the bed base was completely dry, Lin He put the bed frame on the ground and stepped on it to try it out.

    The thicker trunks set up the bamboo "bed board", which is a few centimeters away from the ground.

    The toughness and load-bearing capacity of bamboo are better than expected. Although it will creak a bit if you step on it too heavily, it is quite stable and there is no sign of serious deformation or fracture.

    Barrage: "666 Congratulations to Mr. Lin and his wife for their new bed!"

    The six bed frames in the house didn't dry out so quickly, and if put the bed frame on it to sleep on now, it might be dislocated and collapsed because the clay wasn't compact enough.

    So, at noon, they put the bed frame directly on the ground, and lifted the inflatable moisture-proof pad and mosquito net to the bed frame to take a nap.

    Xu Jianian lay down on it first and tried it out. He rolled two times, which was quite stable.

    Then Sui Sui was sent to jump around on the bed and pass safely.

    In the end, all three members of the family lay down on it, and the bed frame perfectly supported the weight of the three people, except that it would creak when Lin He turned over.

    Xu Jianian, who can't make a creak when turning over, laughed at him: "You are too heavy. If our bed can't bear it, it must be your problem."

    Lin He: "..."

    Barrage: "Hahahaha Mr. Lin's humble attack is a real hammer!"

    "It's him who works hard, and he's the one to blame if he doesn't do well/dog head"

    "It doesn't matter anything else, as long as my wife is comfortable."

    [I'm a little worried that this bed won't support Mr. Lin's "working" at night.】

    "It's okay, Mr. Lin can still pick up his wife if the bed collapses."

    "Hahahaha, you guys are so coquettish!"

    "What are you going to do with us Mr. Sui?!"

    "This time reflects the importance of sleeping in separate rooms. Mr. Lin should consider building a children's room."

    "Pfft, are you devils? You actually want Mr. Lin to build two bedrooms, a kitchen and a living room on the island?"

    The weather on the island was hot enough, so Lin He checked the six bed blocks in the evening and found that they were almost dry, so he formally installed the bed frames.

    Lin He reserved a groove above the bed pier, just enough to clamp the four corners of the bed frame and the wood on both sides to play a supporting role.

    They tested the load-bearing performance again, passed the acceptance test, and can officially sleep on the new bed tonight.

    Xu Jianian clapped the ashes on his hands with satisfaction, and was about to ask Lin He to kill the fish for dinner.

    "correct."

    He looked at the bamboo tube for scooping water in the bucket, and said to Lin He and Suisui: "We haven't returned the pot for catching octopus yet."

    It's been two full days and don't know if there is any octopus in it.
