C16 (2/2)

”Then can I come to your house?”

Ye Chenlin asked closely. If Mu Mu was the big brother, then Mu Mu's father was also their father. Knowing where they lived, their hopes of saving him would be even greater.

Gu Zhenmu frowned, two little people fighting in his head.

I wonder if daddy would be unhappy to bring a little kid home. What if dad frightens Lin Lin when he's angry? But the first time someone wanted to go home with him, he wanted someone to go home with him.

”It doesn't work either?”

Ye Chenlin asked carefully, her eyes filled with tears, looking very pitiful.

As the creases in his brows loosened, Gu Zhenmu patted Ye Chenlin's shoulders resolutely: ”Alright, come look for me in the classroom after school.”

”Oye! I knew Mu Mu was the best! ”

With permission, Ye Chenlin cheered and hugged Gu Zhenmu for a bit. Gu Zhenmu's serious face couldn't help but be covered with a smile.

Because it was his first time bringing his little friend home, Gu Zhenmu became absent-minded after class. He kept searching in his mind what he should do when he returned home.

When it was finally time for class, Gu Zhenmu packed his backpack and sat in his seat right away. His eyes were much brighter than usual.

After waiting for a long while, the sound of clattering footsteps came from outside the classroom. Gu Zhenmu looked towards the door in anticipation.

”Why are you still sitting here?”

”Daddy?” The light in Gu Zhenmu's eyes faded as he stood up from his seat.

Gu Jinyuan walked over, raised her gaze and looked at his packed bag, then raised her eyebrows: Waiting for someone?

Gu Zhenmu pursed his lips, and only after a long while did he reply with a grunt: ”Yes, a friend. He said that he wanted to go home with me to play.”
