About me doing good things in Meiman

Chapter 20 Pleasant Goat

"Peter was not like this boy before."

A middle-aged man came down from upstairs, and his eyebrows seemed to have a slight resemblance to Peter.

"Later, his parents went to engage in scientific research, and put Peter at our house for us to help take care of him. It's been several years since he went there." Ben Parker said with emotion.

"How about you young man, can you drink?" Ben Parker was as enthusiastic as Aunt Mei, greeting Gu Xuan as if he were an old friend.

"I heard that you know Peter's parents?" Ben Parker asked, "Do you know where they have been in recent years? Peter misses them very much, and often sits by the window crying in the middle of the night."

"I don't know, I just met them a few times in the past few years." Gu Xuan shook his head. According to the timeline, Peter's parents may have been murdered, but he didn't intend to tell the couple about it. .

Taking the wine glass handed over by Ben, Gu Xuan walked to the wall.

There are many pictures of Peter when he was a child, from when he first came out to now.

It can be seen that the couple really want Peter to treat Peter as their own son.

Peter in the photo is smiling happily, unlike the current Peter, which gives him a feeling of concern.

On the cabinet was a smaller photo of Peter, but the two people who took the photo with him were not the couple, but two other men and women who looked very similar to Peter.

"Hey, it's just that it's hard for Peter, the parents are not around when he was young." Ben sighed, as if recalling the past, "Otherwise, Peter wouldn't be what he is now."

Ben picked up the picture and ran his fingers over it, feeling sentimental at his age.

"May I go in and see him?"

Gu Xuan asked, he was actually quite curious why Peter locked himself in the room as soon as he entered.

"Of course, it's just that Peter doesn't seem to like outsiders entering his room very much, I'm afraid."

"It's all right." Gu Xuan interrupted Ben's words, tentatively went to the door and knocked.

"Peter is me, can I come in?" Gu Xuan asked softly.

In the next second, the door lock was unlocked, even Ben was surprised.

"It seems that this child has a good impression of you." Ben patted Gu Xuan on the shoulder, expressing that he would help his wife cook first, and let Gu Xuan go in to play with Peter first.

Gu Xuan nodded. To him, this kind of kids who engage in scientific research should have a particularly high IQ, the kind who are smart since they were young.

So Peter locked himself in the room alone, maybe he was also doing some gizmos.

Gu Xuan gently opened the door, walked in, and a familiar yet unfamiliar singing sound came to his eardrums.

"Pleasant Goat, Beautiful Goat, Lazy Goat, Boiling Goat~"

"Don't think I'm just a sheep~"

Gu Xuan thought he was hallucinating, so he walked into the computer that Peter was holding and saw that it was actually playing this well-known cartoon in China.

It's just that it's only 2010 now, Gu Xuan doesn't remember that this thing has spread overseas so early, and it's actually in English!
"You also like to watch Pleasant Goat?" Gu Xuan asked, although he was surprised but he didn't show it because of face.

But that's okay, as a man who has watched more than 5000 episodes of Pleasant Goat, he feels that he already knows everything about it.

He saw that Peter seemed to have opened other pages, which were only marked with the date, so Gu Xuan didn't pay much attention.

"I don't like it," Peter said. "I only see them occasionally because they don't have parents around like me."

"." Gu Xuan didn't know how to answer his words for a while. After all, he couldn't say that this flock of sheep has parents, and they will occasionally jump out to show their presence in the future.
I just don't know why, but Gu Xuan clearly sensed that something was wrong with Peter's mood.

He hastily continued, "Actually, this kind of cartoon is not very interesting. It's just that the wolf catches the sheep and can't eat the sheep over and over again. It's very boring, and I don't like to watch it either."

But after Gu Xuan's words, Little Peter still didn't move at all.

Peter silently closed the notebook, looked up at Gu Xuan, with tears in his eyes.

"Can you tell me what kind of people my parents are?"

Gu Xuan only thought that Peter missed his parents, and then said: "Your uncle Ben should have told you that your parents are very good scientists."

"No, I want to know from you." Peter looked at Gu Xuan stubbornly.

Although Gu Xuan murmured in his heart, after all, he did not really know Richard and his wife, but now that Peter asked this question, he could only bite the bullet and say it.

When he said this, Gu Xuan almost made up all the things he had learned in his life, he almost even used to help his grandma cross the road.

Seeing Peter's half-believing expression, Gu Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, at least the kid didn't question him.

Gu Xuan didn't know how to chat with the child, but fortunately, he successfully rescued Gu Xuan by asking them to eat.

"It's been a long time since Peter was willing to show strangers his computer." Ben looked at Peter with relief, thinking that the appearance of Gu Xuan made the child better.

This made Gu Xuan a little embarrassed, he couldn't say that he stayed in the room by making up stories.

The lunch dishes are all local-style delicacies, mainly meat.

At first, Aunt Mei was worried that Gu Xuan, a Chinese person, would not be used to eating, but she was relieved after seeing that Gu Xuan was eating happily.

As far as Gu Xuan was concerned, he hadn't seen so much meat for a long time, how could he be unhappy eating it.

As a meat eater, except for the half-cooked meat, everyone else is welcome.

"Welcome our new friend!" Ben enthusiastically took out the red wine he had collected for many years, poured it for Gu Xuan, and was the first to toast.

"Welcome!" Aunt Mei raised her glass enthusiastically, and Gu Xuan also did not leave behind, thanking them for their enthusiasm.

Peter was the only one eating there lazily, looking preoccupied.

"Peter, don't be like this. It's hard for your parents' friends to come to the door today, how much face!" Ben looked at Gu Xuan in embarrassment, and said to Peter in a friendly voice.

"It's all right." Gu Xuan smiled and indicated that he was all right.

"Peter, do you have no appetite?" Gu Xuan noticed that Peter had put down the knife and fork before taking a few mouthfuls, clenched his little hands together, and didn't even take a sip of the juice.

"This child has been like this since before." Aunt Mei sighed, "Peter, don't be like this child, we have guests today."

"Peter, if you don't eat well, believe it or not, I will sue your parents. You are a bad boy who doesn't eat well!" Uncle Ben also showed his stern side.

If Uncle Ben had said that in the past, Peter would have pretended to move the fork a few times, but today he doesn't seem to intend to continue eating.

"Then you should sue! If you can still sue!"

I don't know when it started, Peter was already in tears, and the uncontrollable emotions finally broke out at this moment.

"They are dead!"

Little Peter stood up, feeling almost out of control!
