Nic pushed the cake in front of him away with one hand, slid off the chair and ran out. Su Zimu and Pei Yue hurriedly chased after him.

He ran straight to the restaurant door and looked to the left and right of the street with his little head.

Pei Yue arrived first and picked up Nic. Although there were not many people passing by on the street, he was still afraid of bumping into the little guy.

Pei Yue: "Nic, how could you run out by yourself? It's dangerous to be alone."

Nic was hugged, but he was not as obedient as usual. Instead, he waved his hands and feet wildly, struggling to get off, and shouted, "I don't want you, I don't want you, let me go, I don't want you!"

"Nic!" Su Zimu reached out and took him over, comforting him, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly angry?"

"Mom, I really saw Uncle Jiang." Nic's little face looked aggrieved, and his little head rested on Su Zimu's shoulder.

"Okay, I know, Nic won't lie, Mom believes you." Su Zimu said as he winked at Pei Yue apologetically.

"Uncle Jiang clearly saw us, but he turned and walked away. Does he not want to play with Nic anymore?"

Su Zimu felt bitter in his heart, "No, he has a lot of things to do, he's just busy."

Nic still looked depressed, "Mom, I want to go home."

Su Zimu felt distressed and had to say goodbye to Pei Yue first.

Pei Yue expressed his understanding and said, "I'll take you there."

Su Zimu: "No, I drove the car, thank you."

Pei Yue had a smile on his face, "There's no need to be so polite between us."

Su Zimu smiled back, "I've always been like this with my friends."

Pei Yue was stunned for a few seconds, but he was smart and quickly nodded to Su Zimu.

On the way home, Nic sat in the baby seat, quiet as if he was asleep. Su Zimu looked at him through the rearview mirror. He just tilted his head and stared at the night outside the window. No one knew what was going on in his little head.

"Nic, why don't you talk? If you want to sleep, take a nap first." Su Zimu coaxed him kindly.

"I'm not sleepy." Nic said calmly, with a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

Su Zimu: "You can tell mom if you have any questions. I can help you analyze and answer them."

"I don't."

Seeing him seeming to want to say something but stopping himself, Su Zimu probably guessed that no matter whether he really saw Jiang Huaizhou or not, one thing was true, that is, Nic missed him.

Is this what they call a miraculous blood relationship?

The two of them knew each other even earlier than Pei Yue, but they have established such a deep relationship?

"Mom, do you like Dr. Pei?"

"Hmm?" Su Zimu looked in the rearview mirror and saw Nic looking at her seriously, waiting for her answer.

Su Zimu smiled and said, "Why do you ask?"

Nic: "I asked first, you answer first."

Su Zimu: "Dr. Pei is our friend. Mom likes him, but it's just a friendship."

Nic seemed to understand, "Then why are you praising him?"

"What did I praise him for?" Su Zimu was unsure what the kid's point was.

"You said he was handsome." Nic pouted.

Su Zimu suddenly realized, "Isn't he handsome?"

Nic: "He's not handsome, Uncle Jiang is the most handsome."

Su Zimu: “…”

"Just because of this, you pushed away the cake handed to you and punched and kicked him?" Su Zimu was speechless. It turned out that Nic was Jiang Huaizhou's little fan, and a brainless fan at that.

"No way." Nic denied.

Su Zimu: "Why is that?"

Nic: "Because I noticed that you always smile at Dr. Pei, but never smile at Uncle Jiang."

Su Zimu: "I smiled at Dr. Pei. It was polite to him."

Nic tilted his head and asked, "So we don't need to be polite to Uncle Jiang?"

Su Zimu didn't know how to explain, so he ended the topic, "Little brat, I'm driving, don't distract me."

Sure enough, Nic shut up and didn't say a word until he got home.

"Why aren't you talking?" Su Zimu carried him out of the car and kissed his cheek.

Nic: "Didn't you say no to talking?"

Su Zimu: “…” The rebellious period has arrived early?

The two walked to the door of their house in silence, and Nic suddenly spoke excitedly, "Mom, we have neighbors now."

Su Zimu then noticed that the house next door usually had no lights on and no one went in or out, but today it was brightly lit.

"It looks like someone has moved in." Su Zimu stopped where he was and looked at the house next door, then carried Nic into the house.

After Nic fell asleep, Su Zimu saw Jiang Yi's message on his phone and called back.

Jiang Yi: “Are you done?”

Su Zimu: "Well, Nic just fell asleep."

Jiang Yi: "Leng Mengmeng is here?"

Su Zimu's forehead throbbed, "She didn't say anything unpleasant, did she?"

Jiang Yi said pitifully, "She almost beat me into a vegetable. You know her. She never talks nonsense when she can take action."

Su Zimu rolled his eyes. "It's a medical miracle that a vegetative patient can still speak."

Jiang Yi sighed, "Mu Mu, tell me, did I do something wrong? I shouldn't have listened to you and colluded with you."

Su Zimu: "If I am wrong, it is my fault. I forced you to do it."

Jiang Yi sighed again, "As expected, Buddhists never tell lies. It's not that I won't take revenge, it's just that the time has not come yet. First Jiang Huaizhou came to me, and now Leng Mengmeng is looking for me. Is Gu Manyao coming next?"

Su Zimu: “???”

"You said Jiang Huaizhou looked for you?"

Jiang Yi: "That's right, he didn't tell you?"

Su Zimu: "He's not here."

Jiang Yi realized that he had said too much and tried to make amends, "Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped and didn't say anything."

Su Zimu: "It doesn't matter. It's not important anymore."

"Mu Mu, what are your plans?" Jiang Yi asked tentatively.

Su Zimu: "What's your plan?"

Jiang Yi: "You have already let Jiang Huaizhou stay at your house, even though he slept on the sofa. But... does this mean that you are ready to accept him?"

Su Zimu exclaimed, "What did you talk about when you met? Did he even tell you this?"

Jiang Yi: “Actually, I didn’t say anything…”

Su Zimu: "He was drunk and fell asleep that night, so I reluctantly let him stay overnight. What does this mean? Even if he was an ordinary friend, I would not kick him out of the house when he was drunk, let alone..."

"What's more?" Jiang Yi laughed loudly, "What's more?"

Su Zimu held his forehead with his hand, "Besides, he is Nic's father."

Jiang Yi was obviously not very satisfied with this answer. He just said, "Mu Mu, I just want to tell you that no matter what decision you make, I will always stand by your side."

"I know." Su Zimu said as he walked to the window and prepared to close the curtains, but found that the lights of the new neighbors next door were still on. "Strange."
