Chapter 188: Chapter 188: The Affirmation of a Biological Mother

When Beihuai was about to kiss Xiaxia, a series of screams came through the door.

Beihuai held Xiaxia and quickly dodged, avoiding the fate of being hit by the door.

Xiaxia opened her eyes, only to have Beihuai cover them, "Don’t look!"

Xiaxia’s eyelashes fluttered twice in the palm of Beihuai’s hand, confused she asked, "What happened?"

The sound of Beihuai grinding his teeth arose, "A bunch of monkeys passed by!"

Gu Nanzhi and Mrs. Gu, who had just gotten up from the floor, pointed their fingers squarely at Beihuai.

Beihuai nodded towards Xiaxia in his arms, leaving Mrs. Gu and Gu Nanzhi with no choice but to hold their breath and remain silent.

Father Gu motioned for Qin Zhan and Haipeng, who were enjoying the show, to help escort Mrs. Gu and Gu Nanzhi out.

The door was shut again, but the romantic atmosphere that had been brewing could no longer be restored.

Beihuai really was gritting his teeth, but he couldn’t show it, while Xiaxia was completely unaffected.

Finally regaining her vision, she grabbed Beihuai’s hand, "Did someone come by just now?"

She was only covering her eyes, not deaf; the rustling sounds and Gu Nanzhi’s inhuman comment were all heard.

Beihuai responded with a terse hmm, but Xiaxia rested her chin in his palm.

"Then forget it, but remember, next time you want to hit me, hit where there’s more flesh, and you’re not allowed to hit the back of my head again. What if you knock the love I have for you out of me? Wouldn’t that be a loss?"

Beihuai: ...

When he tried to cup Xiaxia’s chin with both hands again, Xiaxia didn’t stay put but hopped away laughing.

Hee hee...

She was just teasing Beihuai, not actually planning on giving in to him.

Wanting to kiss her wasn’t that easy.

Cunning as a little demon!

Beihuai clenched his fingers, watching Xiaxia run out, his eyes dark and unreadable.

"Hey, missed a kiss and lost your heart?"

Gu Nanzhi’s head popped up from the window behind the wall.

Immediately, Haipeng and Qin Zhan’s heads also appeared.

One by one, their eyes full of mockery.

Beihuai, fist pressed to his lips, said, "Shut up!"

Gu Nanzhi, holding a ladle out the window, called, "One hundred yuan!"

Beihuai clenched his fist.

Gu Nanzhi retracted the ladle slightly, "Fifty!"

Beihuai raised his fist, "Twenty at most, you need to let us buy some melon seeds to keep quiet!"

Beihuai threw in ten yuan, "Take it or leave it!"

Gu Nanzhi joyfully pocketed the money and tossed the ladle back into the basin, "Bro, it’s not that I don’t have faith in you, but you’re really not in Xiaxia’s league!"

Beihuai’s roar echoed behind Gu Nanzhi, who had already run out the back door, leaving only Qin Zhan and Haipeng, pounding their thighs and the walls.

They had never seen Beihuai so played before.

Only Gu Nanzhi, as his sister, could do this to him.

Beihuai had no intention of bothering with his two teasing friends.

He returned to his room and collapsed onto his bed, the scene still vivid in his mind.

He couldn’t understand how Xiaxia had changed.

Was she switching tactics to oppose him?

Definitely.

Beihuai suddenly sat up, waving at Qin Zhan and Haipeng, "You two tell me, is Xiaxia trying to erode my will from the inside?"

Qin Zhan’s reflexive tears of laughter truly began to fall, sliding down his astonished mouth.

And Haipeng almost had a facial nerve disorder due to the shock.

The two guys simultaneously slapped Beihuai’s shoulders, "Brother Huai, you really are awesome!"

They left after that.

Discussing anything now, Beihuai’s mind was probably full of mush.

Beihuai called out to the two brothers, but both of them disdained him as an embarrassment and ran off without paying him any heed.

However, Mrs. Gu entered the room carrying a tray of canned fruit and placed the half-empty can in front of Beihuai.

Although Beihuai had just been forced to eat a lot of the food Mrs. Gu had prepared, he thought he could still eat a little bit of the canned fruit.

He didn’t hesitate to pick up a spoon and start digging into the candied haw.

It was sour and sweet, quite delicious.

Mrs. Gu’s face was full of contentment.

"Son, well done!"

Beihuai, with the candied haw still in his mouth, looked up at Mrs. Gu blankly.

Mrs. Gu’s smile was so radiant that even the wrinkles she usually cared about had come out.

She patted Beihuai’s shoulder, "Son, I’m finally relieved!"

Beihuai swallowed the candied haw in his mouth, even more puzzled, "Relieved about what?"

Mrs. Gu gestured for her son to keep eating.

Beihuai had no choice but to continue, sticking another piece of candied haw in his mouth, his lips glistening with syrup, reminding Mrs. Gu of the years past when her son was still the little boy who would cuddle in her arms and act spoiled.

Now her son had grown up, and she was infuriated to the point of myocardial infarction every day, but today it felt like her son had come back.

That kind of maternal contentment is something probably only a mother who has gone through it could understand.

"I finally confirmed one thing today!" Mrs. Gu’s smile grew even brighter, clearly in a really good mood.

Beihuai thought for a second, "Because I just finished eating the meal you made?"

Mrs. Gu smacked the back of his head, her action exactly the same as when Beihuai teased Tang Chu.

They really were mother and son.

Their habits so strikingly similar.

Beihuai didn’t mind, Mrs. Gu’s gentle smack had no deterring force on him.

"Could it be my cooking is bad? Did you have to specifically mention it?"

Mrs. Gu retorted, and Beihuai, fearing his ears couldn’t take it, quickly shook his head.

In the Gu Family, one taboo was Father Gu’s secret stash of money, another was Mrs. Gu’s cooking skills.

Forbidden topics that must be shrouded in mystery.

Mrs. Gu was pleased with Beihuai’s cooperative attitude, and she urged him to eat another can.

"I really used to think you liked men, and I was even ready to let you marry a husband if it came to that, thinking at worst your sister’s child could care for you in your old age!"

After Mrs. Gu finished speaking, Beihuai’s face was really indescribable.

He didn’t know whether he should feel thankful for having a very enlightened mother, or if he should shout out loud, thankful for her open-mindedness.

Beihuai rolled his eyes.

Beihuai truly didn’t understand where he had ever given his mother the impression that he liked men.

Suddenly, he thought of Tang Chu and Gu Nanzhi, undoubtedly the two had to have had a hand in this.

But thinking of Tang Chu, the impulse to fight upon meeting had faded.

Not that he wanted to fight in the usual way, he just wanted to use a different method.

He actually still wanted to have a fight.

With all sorts of messy thoughts popping in his head, Mrs. Gu was urging him to drink up the syrup too.

Beihuai was bewildered by Mrs. Gu’s enthusiasm.

Down went a can’s worth of syrup.

Mrs. Gu slapped her thigh, laughing wildly.

"Hahaha!!! Son, you indeed have a thing with that girl, Xiaxia!"

Beihuai spat out a mouthful of syrup.
