Ye Nanzhou's expression was light, as if he was indifferent to Yuan Zheng's fever, he just lowered his voice and said, "Don't move around, I'll go find antipyretics."

Seeing that he didn't care much about himself, Yuan Zheng didn't even reach out to test the temperature of his forehead, and he walked very softly, presumably he was just worried about waking up Xiao Ou.

He rubbed his warm cheeks against the pillow, but thought in his heart: his brother used to take care of him meticulously, but he himself was never satisfied.

kitchen.

When Grandma Chen heard that Yuan Zheng had a fever, she stopped what she was doing: "Is it serious? If it's not serious, why don't you take medicine first? I'll look for antipyretic stickers and put them on. Let's drink more water first. This... last night I didn’t eat, I didn’t have a single grain of rice in my stomach, and I’m probably starving.”

Her words were full of distress.

Ye Nanzhou felt dazed from waking up just now to walking into the kitchen in his slippers to look for Grandma Chen. He woke up only when the morning breeze blew. It seemed that for a certain moment, he almost thought he had returned to a few years ago.

In the past, when Yuan Zheng was sick, he would pull him to hum, saying "I have a headache" on the left, and "I can't sleep without you here" on the right, just like a child.

Ye Nanzhou took the antipyretic patch given by Grandma Chen, and returned to the room with warm water.

Xiao Ou has already woken up, wearing a vest and shorts, standing barefoot on the carpet, struggling to talk to Yuan Zheng who is on the upper bunk.

"Uncle, don't feel bad, Dad will be here soon."

Yuan Zheng said weakly: "Uncle is not uncomfortable, Xiao Ou is good, just lie down and sleep for a while."

Xiao Ou jumped up and down, a little worried: "Uncle, Xiao Ou will help you urge Dad."

As soon as he turned around, Xiao Ou saw his father coming in, and he rushed over barefoot: "Dad! Dad!"

"Uncle is fine, he just has a cold." Ye Nanzhou gave Xiao Ou the fever-reducing sticker, and he slowly climbed up.

Yuan Zheng leaned on the railing and sat up, looked at Ye Nanzhou dizzily, and just opened his mouth with a rare docile tone: "Brother..."

Ye Nanzhou was in a trance for a while again. He was still unfamiliar when he saw him yesterday, but today he was sick and slumped, so familiar.

But after all, he is 25 years old, not as determined as when he was 19 years old, young and youthful, with sharp edges and corners on his face.

Ye Nanzhou withdrew his gaze, pushed the water glass over, expressionless: "Drink water."

Yuan Zheng took it, muttered and drank it all up, and gave him the cup in a polite manner: "Thank you brother."

He is very fragile from body to mind now, he is afraid that if he accidentally offends his brother, his brother will pack him up and throw him out.

The little lotus root on the carpet tried to hold up the anti-fever sticker, and asked Dad to put it on for uncle.

It is a cartoon fever-reducing sticker for children, with fancy patterns and small size, it is ridiculous to stick it on the forehead of an adult.

Xiao Ou wanted to laugh when she saw it, but it seemed that her uncle was sick, so she laughed at him for not being well, and tried hard to squeeze her little mouth tightly.

Ye Nanzhou walked down, picked up Xiaoou, and said indifferently to Yuan Zheng, "Go back after a short break, it's inconvenient here, and no one will take care of you."

Yuan Zheng didn't argue, but turned back, weakly and lightly said: "Let me lie down for a while, bro."

He finally understands that youth is not capital, and he will also die young because of jet lag.

He tilted his head, glanced at Xiaolian, who was far away from his brother, and forced a smile.

Xiao Ou keenly captured her father's emotions——

Why doesn't dad seem to like uncle very much?

Is it because last night, uncle secretly took their pillows? !

Xiao Brow frowned, Xiao Ou didn't respond to Yuan Zheng, turned her head and hugged Dad's neck tightly, sticking to Dad's face.

The neglected Yuan Zheng: ...

Ye Nanzhou has to go to work, especially if he has work in the morning, so he can't do it.

But he was worried about keeping Yuan Zheng in the orphanage.

He always had the illusion that Yuan Zheng was going to kidnap Xiaoou and leave every minute.

Although from yesterday to today, Yuan Zheng did not show this attitude.

Grandma Chen was probably the person who cared the most about Yuan Zheng in the orphanage. During breakfast, she asked, "Should I send Mr. Yuan something to fill his stomach?"

Ye Nanzhou took a small bun for Xiao Ou, and said simply, "Auntie, call him Xiao Yuan."

Grandma Chen smiled: "It's fine. You can go to work at ease, Xiaoye. I'll take care of Xiaoyuan. Do you want to talk to his assistant?"

Ye Nanzhou said: "I'll contact his assistant. Let him pick him up as soon as possible."

Grandma Chen didn't want to drive people away, so she hurriedly said: "Actually, it's okay to stay for a few more days. It seems that you two brothers haven't seen each other for a long time. Otherwise, Xiaoye, you go home and live in these few days. Treat Xiao Yuan?"

Ye Nanzhou knew that Grandma Chen was thinking of him, so naturally she wouldn't be disgusted, so she just said, "No, he should have other things when he recovers, and he won't stay here for long."

Before going to work, Ye Nanzhou told Xiao Ou. "Honey, if Uncle tells you something, tell Dad when Dad comes back, okay?"

Xiao Ou hugged her father and posted it, not knowing what her father was referring to: "Dad, what will uncle say?"

About grabbing the pillow?

Ye Nanzhou didn't know either, he was just feeling ups and downs and couldn't be completely at ease.

I can't wait to take the little lotus root to work.

However, there are too many people in the unit, and it is inconvenient.

Ye Nanzhou weighed the two, and finally went to the bedroom before going to work, ready to "chat" with Yuan Zheng.

When he just approached the bedroom door, he heard a phone call from inside, but the moment he opened the door, the person who was sitting on the bed lay down, even pulling the quilt to the top of his head.

Ye Nanzhou was speechless.

He walked to the bed step by step, raised his arm and put it on the railing of the ladder: "If you have nothing to do, go back, this is not where you came from."

The young man under the quilt didn't move.

Ye Nanzhou lowered his eyes, looked at the folded quilt pillows and the cute little dolphins on the lower bunk, and lowered his voice: "Don't get me wrong, Little Lotus is not your child."

The quilt on the upper bunk was lifted immediately. Yuan Zheng coughed twice, sat up while holding the railing with one hand, and looked down at Ye Nanzhou. You know, I'm his uncle, not his father."

When he said this, Yuan Zheng's heart was bleeding, and he held his breath in his heart, and his breath was not going well.

But now that his brother is like this, he can do whatever his brother says, and he shouldn't have any opinions.

But Yuan Zheng answered the words so smoothly, it made Ye Nanzhou's eyelids twitch.

Ye Nanzhou's words were even colder: "As long as you know, keep a good distance and measure."

Yuan Zheng continued to cough, trying to relieve the soreness of being severely gripped by the heart: "Well, don't worry, I won't say anything in front of Xiaoou."

Ye Nanzhou is a ghost if you don't worry.

But when it's time for work, if you don't leave, you will be late.

Just as Grandma Chen knocked on the door with breakfast, Ye Nanzhou whispered to Yuan Zheng: "Come down, and let the old man serve you?"

Yuan Zheng got out of bed obediently, and was surprisingly obedient, which made Ye Nanzhou's eyelids twitch wildly.

After not seeing each other for several years, Ye Nanzhou was really not sure what Yuan Zheng was thinking.

Thinking about it this way, it was simple in the past, as simple as heartless.

Summer is scorching hot and the weather is hot.

The big guys in the orphanage are resting in the activity room, playing and chatting.

I don't know which child was the first to talk about the claw machine, and everyone talked about the claw machine.

Chen Jingxu also talked about the interesting stories of his classmates in surprise: "One time, the publicity committee member of our class caught seven or eight claw machines in the claw machine shop, which was very good."

Xiao Ou has never played catching dolls before, and curiously asked for details, how to play, what the rules of the game are, and what rewards there will be, etc.

Knowing that the dolls are hers if she catches them, Xiao Ou eagerly raised her little hand: "Xiao Ou also wants to play, and Xiao Ou wants to play too."

Yuan Zheng finished talking on the phone with his assistant Xu Feng in the corridor, and when he came in, he heard this, and asked loudly, "How about I take you to play with catching dolls?"

His low-grade fever in the morning has subsided and caused no other problems, and he is fine now.

"Huh?" Everyone turned around to look at him, "Go grab the doll now?"

Every simple face reveals disbelief and anticipation.

When Yuan Zheng came here yesterday, he was wearing a shirt and trousers, looking like a professional elite; today, he changed into a loose T-shirt and casual sports trousers, which are all too common, making him look several years younger.

To the children, Uncle Yuan looked more like an older brother dressed like this, and it seemed easier to get close to them than yesterday.Xiao Ou asked again ignorantly: "Uncle, are we all going together? Can Xiao Ou go?"

Yuan Zheng stepped forward and squatted in front of the little lotus root: "Yes, I'll have someone drive over, and we'll go together. Do you want to play and catch the baby lotus root?"

He had a brief chat with Grandma Chen just now and learned that Xiao Ou is a "Seven Star", that is, a premature baby born in July, with congenital deficiencies and weak health, and looks about the size of a three-year-old child.

How Yuan Zheng felt about Xiao Ou, if he could have been by his brother's side, no matter what, at least he and the child could be protected, and it wouldn't be what it is today.

Yuan Zheng really wanted to give his brother and Xiao Ou the best of what he had, but he was afraid that his brother and Xiao Ou would not want anything.

Of course Little Lotus wants to play, but...

But yesterday his uncle robbed him and his father of big pillows, which made his father unhappy. He struggled to match his little fingers, pursed his mouth and remained silent.

The other children didn't know if it was true or not, so they quickly confirmed it with Uncle Yuan.

Grandma Chen just happened to walk in, and Yuan Zheng asked, "Aunt Chen, can I take the kids out to play with the dolls? Just go to the nearby shopping mall, and it won't go far. I'll ask my assistant to drive two cars and bring some bodyguards." Stay safe and try to keep everyone safe.”

He heard Ye Nanzhou call Grandma Chen "Auntie", so he followed suit.

Grandma Chen felt a little distance from Comrade Xiao Yuan. Ye Nanzhou was already considered a dignified aura, but Xiao Yuan exuded an aura of extraordinary background and rich family background. It's still the tune of a pampered rich man.

Such a person is either the boss of a large company or a leader in a government unit, but it doesn't look like he can play with children.

Grandma Chen was a little unsure whether she should rest assured that Yuan Zheng would take the children out, but she turned her head and looked at a few anxious children: "It's okay, just come back for dinner at night? Don't be too late."

She also explained to the older Chen Jingming and Chen Jinghan, "Jingming and Jinghan have to take care of their younger siblings, you know? Be good everyone."

Chen Jingming suddenly remembered something, and said to Xiao Ou: "Xiao Ou, is brother Xiao Ke coming back at three o'clock in a while to help you live broadcast? You don't seem to be able to go out to play."

Xiao Ou got up anxiously from the small bench, and said to Brother Jingming, "It's impossible, Xiao Ou wants to go out to play and catch dolls."

How can everyone go to play and leave him alone at home?

Xiao Ou pursed her mouth, moved to grandma's side in aggrieved manner, grabbed the side of grandma's trousers, and asked in a childish voice: "Grandma~grandma~ help Xiaoou tell Brother Xiaoke, today...today Xiao Ke Can lotus root not be broadcast live?"

Yuan Zheng never thought that the little one would have such a cute appearance, he acted like a baby softly while being wronged, making people want to treat him wholeheartedly.

Sure enough, Grandma Chen couldn't resist Xiao Ou's cute and pitiful appearance, and stroked his hair: "Okay, okay, grandma called Brother Xiaoke. It just so happens that the weather is so hot, and your brother doesn't have to sweat all over the place." go home."

She laughed as she spoke.

"Okay, thank you grandma! Grandma is so nice~" Xiao Ou hugged grandma's writhing body contentedly.

Yuan Zheng really wanted to hug this cutie, rub him and kiss him, but unfortunately, the cutie didn't let him hug him.

I don't know why, but yesterday I still waved to myself, but today I don't pay much attention to him.

Could it be what his brother said?

Yuan Zheng guessed it wasn't. His brother cared so much about Xiao Ou that he wouldn't mention anything about him to Xiao Ou.

Thinking of this, Yuan Zheng became even more sad.

He is not worthy of his brother and Xiao Ou's important point.

Grandma Chen asked the children to change out clothes.

The children ran out hopping.

Yuan Zheng contacted Qian Yueqing who was in Rongcheng and asked him to send some assistants who were familiar with Rongcheng.

Qian Yueqing didn't hear it right: "You're in Rongcheng? Ah Zheng? What are you doing? Aren't you talking about hotel investment projects in Las Vegas? Why did you come back?"

Yuan Zheng leaned against the wall of the corridor, looked at the swing in the yard, but smiled and said nothing.

Qian Yueqing took a deep breath and said, "Damn, you didn't come back because I told you about Ye Nanzhou's having a child, did you? Damn, I'm fucking calling you if you don't come back after all these years Because of Ye Nanzhou, you flew back to me in three days? Ah Zheng, you are really..."

He has nothing to say.

Yuan Zheng said: "Let's talk about it later, I have to take the children out to play."

"Which family's kid?" Qian Yueqing just woke up after finishing speaking, "Damn, it can't be Ye Nanzhou's son, right? What's going on? Ah Zheng, you have to explain it to me clearly. After telling you, don't you still look like you won't return to your country? You're changing too fast? I don't even have a heart with my brother?"

Yuan Zheng said indifferently: "In a few days, I will invite you to have dinner and chat slowly. Now I really have something to do."

Qian Yueqing didn't force Yuan Zheng to say anything, he just said: "All right, then I'll find someone I know and send it to you."

Yuan Zheng said: "I will give you the contact information of your assistant, and you will give it to your subordinates. It will be more convenient for them to connect directly."

Qian Yueqing was upset: "As expected of Mr. Yuan, efficiency comes first."

A few minutes later, Xu Feng contacted Yuan Zheng and said that he was already on his way, a business car, a seven-seater nanny car, and he had already made an appointment for a claw machine shop in a shopping mall.

Xiao Ou changed into the clothes she was going out and excitedly set off with her brothers and sisters.

The seven-seater nanny van has four individual seats and three seats in the rear.

The youngest, Xiaoou, and the oldest, Chen Jingming, sat in the back row. Yuan Zheng sat between Xiaoou and Chen Jingming, taking care of them at all times, and the other children sat on individual seats.

The co-pilot was Li Anni, the assistant sent by Qian Yueqing.

As the mother of a four or five-year-old child, Li Anni knows how to communicate with children.

She checked all the children's seat belts, and then told the children not to take off the seat belts or play around while driving, and finally confirmed that everyone could understand the precautions and be obedient before letting the driver drive away .

Before she sat down, she smiled and said to everyone: "If you have a situation, remember to call Sister Anne, okay?"

The children said in unison: "Okay, Sister Anne~"

Chen Jinghan immediately whispered to Chen Jingyu: "It seems to be a class spring outing! It's really fun."

Chen Jingyu smiled and nodded.

Xiao Ou was too far away from Sister Anne, and after Sister Anne sat down, he couldn't see at all, he could only see the seats one by one.

He pouted, and his two little feet swayed gently on the chair.

Suddenly, I miss Brother Lu Lu a little bit.

In fact, Yuan Zheng has no experience with children at all. He wanted to talk to Xiao Ou, but Xiao Ou seemed not too happy.

What really happened?

Yuan Zheng asked in a low voice: "Xiao Ou, what do you usually do in the orphanage?"

Xiao Ou raised her head slightly, glanced at Uncle Yuan, and whispered, "Just...playing games."

The voice was thin and thin, and it sounded a little pathetic.

Yuan Zheng: It's hard to talk about being a little kid, um, it must be my own problem.

He paused, and asked patiently: "Xiao Ou, are you unhappy going out to play? Why do you seem to be careful? Can you tell uncle?"

Xiao Ou looked at him timidly, remembering what happened to the pillow yesterday, raised her small mouth, and hugged herself with two small arms: "Xiao Ou, don't..."

Chen Jingming on the other side heard it, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with Xiaoou? Can you tell brother?"

Xiao Ou nodded, but he couldn't reach his brother, and there was Uncle Yuan in the middle.

He blinked his big eyes twice, with a look of embarrassment flashing, and asked in a soft voice: "Uncle, can Xiao Ou sit with brother?"

What else could Yuan Zheng say, he could only say to the driver: "Master, let's change seats in the back row and choose a suitable roadside to park?"

"Okay, no problem." The older driver was very experienced and immediately found a place to stop slowly.

After the car stopped, Yuan Zheng and Chen Jingming quickly changed seats, allowing Chen Jingming to sit in the middle and talk to Xiao Ou.

After Xiao Ou waited for her brother to sit down, she habitually leaned against her side and muttered, "Brother, Xiao Ou misses Brother Lu Lu."

"So that's how it is." Every time Chen Jingming watched the live broadcast of the show, he could see that Lu Lu and Xiao Ou were having a good time, and Lu Lu had come to the house many times, so everyone was familiar with him, "Xiao Ou is waiting for Dad to come home , ask Dad to contact brother Lu Lu's dad, how about you play together?"

Like grandparents, Chen Jingming rubbed Xiaoou's soft short black hair: "Little lotus, let's go play catch dolls now, and my brother will play with you later, okay?"

"Hmm~" Xiao Ou responded obediently, and suddenly looked quietly at Uncle Yuan who was by the window.

Yuan Zheng felt that Xiao Ou might have something secret to say to Chen Jingming, so he pretended not to see it and looked out the car window.

Sure enough, Xiao Ou whispered to her brother: "Brother, when I was sleeping yesterday, my uncle snatched Xiao Ou and Dad's big pillow."

"Ah?" Chen Jingming didn't expect to be like this, looked at Uncle Yuan suspiciously, and said in Xiao Ou's ear, "So Xiao Ou doesn't like Uncle Yuan very much?"

Xiao Lotus shook her head: "There is nothing Xiao Lotus doesn't like, Xiao Lotus just... I just don't want Uncle to take our big pillow again today."

Chen Jingming smiled: "Then Xiaoou told uncle."

Xiao Ou raised her small mouth and secretly glanced at Uncle Yuan.

Yuan Zheng heard Chen Jingming's words and looked at Xiao Ou: "Xiao Ou, what do you want to tell Uncle? What's wrong with Uncle?"

Xiao Ou was about to say that when the big car stopped, Li Anni, the co-pilot, turned her head and smiled and said, "Kids, we have arrived at the mall. Don't worry, Sister Annie is here to help you unbuckle your seat belts."

Seeing Xiao Ou's words, Yuan Zheng was interrupted. After unfastening his seat belt, he helped Chen Jingming untie it as well.

Chen Jingming supported the two chairs in the front row, and walked forward from the aisle, letting Xiao Ou talk to Uncle Yuan.

Yuan Zheng took the opportunity to hug the silent Xiaotuanzi, so light that it seemed that he could lift it with two fingers.

This slightly frowning and unwilling to speak appearance is really exactly the same as Ye Nanzhou, who is hiding something in his heart and is unwilling to say it.

Yuan Zheng coaxed in a low voice: "Little lotus, can you tell uncle? It must be something that uncle did not do well. You are not happy, so you don't even smile at uncle, do you?"

Xiao Ou looked at the brothers and sisters who got off the bus one by one in the front row, and then looked at the row of black patterns on his uncle's T-shirt. He poked the pattern with his little finger.

Yuan Zheng didn't understand, so he lowered his head to look at the English words and the logo: "Little lotus, what's wrong with this dress?"

Little lotus root shook his head.

Yuan Zheng still wanted to ask, but fortunately Xiao Ou wasn't going to really let him guess, and his big eyes met his deep ones: "Uncle, can you..."

With an aggrieved tone as if he was going to cry immediately, Yuan Zheng instinctively turned his legs lightly.

He has never coaxed a child, but seeing his mother has coaxed it, it probably means holding it in his hand and shaking it, which is somewhat useful.

"Xiao Ou, did uncle say something wrong or did something wrong? Can you tell uncle? Uncle is too stupid to know what children are thinking at all."

Xiao Ou glanced at him, and finished in a low voice: "Uncle, when you sleep today, can you not take away the big pillows from Xiao Ou and Dad?"

Yuan Zheng was taken aback, it was because of this matter.

He yesterday...

He just wanted to lean on the pillows of his brother and Xiao Ou, pretending to be close to them.

Unexpectedly, this made Xiao Ou so upset that she ignored him today.

Yuan Zheng embraced Xiao Ou's small body: "I'm sorry, Xiao Ou. Uncle doesn't know. Uncle... made a mistake yesterday. Can you forgive Uncle just once? Just once. In the future, Uncle will never do what Xiao Ou doesn't like again. Something happened."

"Really?" Xiao Ou asked earnestly, "Then uncle won't be able to make mistakes in the future, Dad... Dad will be unhappy."

Yuan Zheng thought, his brother was unhappy, so Xiao Ou ignored him?

His brother would definitely not tell Xiao Ou about such trivial things, could it be...

Yuan Zheng asked: "Xiao Ou found out that Dad is unhappy, right?"

Xiao Ou nodded heavily: "Father..."

He thought about his father's appearance in the morning, turned his head, and said, "Dad didn't tell Xiao Ou, but...but Xiao Ou knew."

Yuan Zheng didn't know the temperament of other people's four-year-old child, but the little one in front of him was obviously really well-behaved and sensible, and he was really his brother's caring little padded jacket. His brother's emotions in the morning were extremely accurate.

"Okay, uncle knows now. Uncle will use his own pillow tonight and return you and dad's big pillow, okay?"

Xiao Ou's eyes showed a slight dislike: "Uncle, it needs to be cleaned."

Yuan Zheng: ...
