Golden Boy

Hearing Little Cookie's voice, Su Pei suddenly came back to his senses. He opened the door, and Little Cookie was standing outside the door, showing him a clean cup as if offering a treasure.

Su Pei was worried if she heard what he said, but Little Cookie still looked very happy, so she probably didn't hear it.He didn't want to leave any psychological shadow on his daughter.

Su Pei stroked her hair and said, "Come on, let's go out and play."

He accompanied Little Cookie to the zoo, and Little Cookie had a great time. She saw her favorite giraffe and elephant, and ate marshmallows and hot dogs.

On the way home, Little Cookie sat in the car, hugged the newly bought plush doll, and asked, "Dad, will you be home all this time?"

Su Pei vented his anger and went out for a walk, feeling much more relaxed and calm.

"Yes, I will be at home during the Chinese New Year."

Little Cookie asked again: "Then can we still come out to play next weekend?"

Su Pei said, "Okay. As long as you behave well in school."

Little Cookie paused, then asked again: "Then what about your job? Will we have no money?"

Children will always do this suddenly, and parents will find that they are actually more mature than expected.

Su Pei glanced at Little Cookie in the rearview mirror, and said, "You don't have to worry about this, Dad will work at home, and everything has been arranged."

His tone was very calm and firm. Little Cookie rubbed the fluffy little giraffe and whispered, "Okay, we trust Dad."

Su Pei's phone call worked.He received his final payment before New Year's Day.

The producers of the crew did not contact him again and seemed to avoid him.But Su Pei didn't care, and he didn't want to have any contact with the crew anymore.

Now that the final payment has been received, he has avoided the predicament of running out of money, and he has also avoided asking He Yiming for help.

So when He Yiming invited him to play on New Year's Day again, Su Pei was finally moved.

"I really want to go, but Little Cookie will come back from school on New Year's Day, and I don't want to lose her to my mother. She comes back from vacation, so I have to accompany her." Su Pei asked He Yiming's consent.

He Yiming took a deep breath, he had complicated feelings for Cookie.Because she is half of Su Pei's gene and half of that woman Shen Lan's gene.

But what can be done, the children are so big.He can only be a good uncle.

"Bring the little cookies, let's play together. This place is very suitable for children, allowing them to get close to nature. And I have enough room here." He Yiming said.

Su Pei agreed: "I haven't been to your farm yet, I really want to see it."

The place where He Yiming invited Su Pei to play was in the suburbs.He Yiming has a place to live in the urban area, but he doesn't like skyscrapers or the so-called rich areas, he prefers the countryside and nature.

So he set up a "farm" in the suburbs.The center of the farm is a very comfortable and spacious three-storey villa.Radiating from the villa, surrounded by gardens, ponds, woods, organic farms, roads have been repaired, and a stable has been built.

These are being done one after another, and finally completed at the end of the year.So He Yiming invited Su Pei to come here to celebrate the New Year with him.

On the afternoon of December 31st, Su Pei picked up the cookies from school and went straight to He Yiming's farm.

Cookie has been growing up in the city and has never been to the country.For her, the most fun places to go on vacation are shopping malls and amusement parks, so she lacks interest on the road.

"When are we going to Happy Valley?" she asked

Su Pei said: "Wait until the weather gets warmer. It's too cold to play in winter."

Little Cookie was unhappy: "Then it will take a long time!"

Su Pei said: "Go to Uncle He's place today. He is a good friend of my father, very close. You met him when you were young, remember? He was very enthusiastic and invited us to his house as a guest, so when you saw him, you asked Thank him, you know?"

Little Cookie has a little impression of the name "Uncle He", but she doesn't quite remember what this person looks like.

The house of "Uncle He" is in the countryside, and it is very hospitable. Cookie immediately outlined a simple and kind farmer uncle in his mind.

Su Pei said to her while driving: "Look how beautiful this road is, and there are these trees and fields, which you can't see in the city at all. When you arrive at the farm, there will be cats, dogs, and chickens." There are ducklings, sheep, and cows, and you can drink the freshest milk."

Hearing these small animals, Little Cookie became more energetic. She stared out of the car window, as if trying to find the shadows of cattle and sheep.

Looking at it, Little Cookie suddenly yelled: "Wow! I saw it, is it that house!"

Su Pei saw it too, and he drove along the driveway to the small building that looked simple on the outside, harmoniously blending into the surrounding rural scenery.

He suddenly remembered that when he was in school a long time ago, he and He Yiming lay on the roof at night to enjoy the shade in summer.They imagined the future, and he asked He Yiming what he wanted to do in the future.

He Yiming said: "Wandering and living in seclusion. Get a piece of land in the countryside, farm and fish. If you get bored, go to see all over the world."

Su Pei still remembers saying: "I think what you can achieve is much bigger than this dream."

He Yiming said: "Then treat this as a small dream."

Now it seems that He Yiming has fully realized his little dream back then, and even made it better.Su Pei suddenly had a wonderful feeling that what he stepped into was not only a house or a farm, but the condensation of a person's youth and dreams.

This inexplicably moved him a little.

He Yiming has already greeted them outside.

After Su Pei parked the car, He Yiming helped him get the suitcase.

"Just staying for three nights, and bringing two big suitcases, you really deserve it," He Yiming said.

Su Pei pointed to the child: "Her things can't be saved."

He greeted Little Cookie again: "Uncle He."

Little Cookie and He Yiming stared with wide eyes.

He Yiming hasn't seen this child for a while, and Su Pei never posts photos of his daughter in Moments.Looking at it today, I just feel that the little girl has grown a bit taller, and she is no longer the feeling of a small animal when she was a child.

He Yiming looked down at her, she was very similar to Su Pei, with similar eyes and nose, but also very similar to Shen Lan... He didn't know what to say for a moment, he was not good at dealing with children.

Little Cookie didn't expect that Uncle He was not a kind farmer uncle at all, but an uncle who looked a bit fierce.

She stared at He Yiming with a dazed expression, a little on guard.

Su Pei always thought that his little girl was clever. After he became a parent, he became more and more aware of the parental psychology, which is to expect the child to stand out in front of others.

He immediately patted Cookie on the shoulder again: "Have you not seen each other for a while? This is Dad's good friend, please call someone."

Little Cookie called: "Uncle He."

The voice was small, as if he was a little afraid of He Yiming.

He Yiming gave her a half-hearted smile and said, "Hello."

He knows that there is a saying that children are the most sensitive. They may not be able to express in words, but they can intuitively feel each other's emotions.

He didn't know how Cookie felt about him.

After the luggage was settled, Little Cookie ran up and down the villa. She didn't feel bored anymore, because the house was very beautiful, and there were a few cats lying on the long sofa, all of whom were loved ones.Little Cookie played with the cat for a while, played with various electronic devices in the living room for a while, and quickly adapted to the environment.

He Yiming pulls Su Pei out for a walk, Su Pei is worried that Little Cookie is alone.

"Don't worry, there is surveillance in the living room, and the housekeeper is there. We'll go out for a walk and come back," He Yiming said, "I'll take you for a walk around the farm, it's very comfortable."

Su Pei said, "I'd rather be indoors with heating."

He Yiming threw the scarf to him: "You should go out more often to bask in the sun. Let's go, there will be more guests later, I can't just entertain you alone."

Su Pei smiled and said, "Then I'm really honored."

In the end, he was dragged outside by He Yiming.He Yiming drove a golf cart and took the two of them to the stable.He took Su Pei to see horses and various animals.

Su Pei is actually not interested in rural life.Like Cookie, he likes the city.If he had to choose, he would prefer to go to big shopping malls, exquisite restaurants, colorful bars full of music, and luxury hotels with private beaches.

He Yiming's taste is very different from his.He Yiming is a senior traveling friend who likes the wild and the countryside the most. He is keen on mountaineering, hiking, cycling, fishing and various outdoor activities.Su Pei used to say that He Yiming was too obsessed with the wilderness, to the point of abnormality.

So compared to the wilderness, this well-developed farm is almost a warm and comfortable top-level resort.Su Pei felt that it was very pleasant to take a walk here, and the most important thing was that He Yiming was always by his side trying to be a good and hospitable host.

They saw the little pony and visited the organic fruit and vegetable greenhouse.

"This is truly organic, but unfortunately the scale is not large enough. There are too many varieties and the output is not enough." He Yiming said while picking vegetables and throwing them in the basket.They will be eating these fresh vegetables for days.

Su Pei identified these vegetables one by one, and soon found the cute little strawberry.Small ones, but bright red in color.He picked a small basket for the cookies.

They put those veggies on golf carts.On the way back, He Yiming took Su Pei to see the pond again.

It is said to be a pond, but the water surface is very large. In winter, this soft and clean water surface becomes more and more quiet.

Standing by the water, Su Pei couldn't help admiring: "This is not a pond, this is obviously a lake, you built an artificial lake, right?"

He Yiming likes to hear Su Pei's praise, but sometimes Su Pei is too exaggerated.While making him happy, there was an inexplicable feeling of shame, and faintly made him excited.

He could only say with a stern face: "You can just call it the sea, it's far from a lake."

Su Pei still couldn't help admiring: "It must be very comfortable to row a boat on it in summer."

He Yiming said: "You can still swim, the water is not deep, and it is well cleaned."

Su Pei refused: "Swimming is not good. I will only go to the pool to swim."

He Yiming took off his coat.Su Pei looked at him: "What are you going to do?"

He Yiming continued to take off his clothes, he responded with a smile: "Winter swimming."

Su Pei stopped him: "It's too cold! The temperature is only 3 degrees now!"

The more Su Pei stopped, the more excited He Yiming became.He quickly took off his clothes, pants, shoes and socks, stretched his body, and jumped into the water.

Su Pei stood on the shore, watching He Yiming swim farther and farther, he called He Yiming's name: "You are almost done!"

He Yiming swam around and came to the shore.Su Pei didn't know if it was his own illusion, he felt that He Yiming's strokes were getting slower and slower, and his head sank gradually.

The weather is too cold... Su Pei covered his mouth with his hands, stared at the water for a few seconds, and suddenly panicked.Before he could take off his clothes in time, he rushed to the water's edge, stepping on the water and pounced on He Yiming.

"He Yiming!" Su Pei jumped into the water, and the water quickly covered his knees, thighs, and reached his chest.He stretched out his arms, trying to grab He Yiming.

Just when he was about to meet He Yiming, He Yiming raised his head suddenly: "I said the water is not deep, right?"

Su Pei scolded: "Are you sick!"

Only then did he feel that his teeth were chattering, and he could barely stand in the water.He Yiming laughed loudly and dragged him ashore.

He Yiming only put on trousers and a thin shirt, and he helped Su Pei take off the water-absorbed down jacket and sweater.Wrap Su Pei in his dry clothes, and put Su Pei on the golf cart.

"I'm going to freeze to death..." Su Pei complained weakly.

He Yiming drove the car very fast: "Don't be so exaggerated, you will get wet."

Su Pei said, "I'm going to have a fever."

He Yiming said: "Take a hot bath right away, and I'll make you some ginger tea. You won't have a fever."

Su Pei coughed softly, his voice trembling: "I really thought something happened to you just now..."

He Yiming stretched out a hand, grabbed his arm, and said, "Don't worry. You are in my will."

He wasn't kidding.He really left something for Su Pei in his will.

"It's not funny!" Su Pei said, "I feel like I'm dying now."

He Yiming said: "An adult man in his early 30s will not die so easily."

His tone was a little rude.But he wasn't angry with Su Pei, but because Su Pei kept saying that, he was really worried.

It would be fine for a normal adult man to come here, but who knows, maybe Su Pei is not a normal man, maybe he is like some fragile nightingale.He Yiming was thinking wildly in his mind.

Fortunately, the pond was not far from the villa, and as soon as he entered the house, the heating immediately brought Su Pei back to life.He Yiming led him to the bathroom and asked him to take a hot bath in the bathtub.

He Yiming turned on the faucet for him to put water in the bathtub, Su Pei couldn't wait to take off his clothes, he didn't care about exposing his body in front of He Yiming.

He Yiming turned his back to Su Pei and lowered his eyes. Amidst the sound of gurgling hot water in the bathroom, the big mirror gradually became foggy, but he could still vaguely see Su Pei's shoulder blades, his lines, and his fair complexion...

He Yiming suddenly hated himself for being like this.He escaped from the bathroom.

The moment the door was closed, he heard Su Pei let out a comfortable sigh as he soaked into the water.

The sound nearly knocked him out of his wits.

Little Cookie is in the kitchen.The housekeeping aunt liked this smart and beautiful little girl very much, and gave her various small biscuits and fruits to eat.

She sits at the table eating snacks and playing with the kittens.

He Yiming walked in with a dark face, and asked his aunt, "Is there any ginger? Cut a big piece for me."

He took an enamel pot and prepared to make ginger tea for Su Pei.

Little Cookie asked: "Uncle He, where is my father?"

He Yiming glanced at her and said, "Your dad is taking a bath."

Cookie asked, "Why?"

He Yiming felt that children were really difficult to deal with. Although the little girl asked only an extremely simple question, his patience was limited to Su Pei.

What's more, his mood is very complicated now.

"Where's my dad?" Little Cookie's tone was a little flustered.

She was only nine years old after all.

The author has something to say: He Yiming: I hold it!

He Yiming's mood when he saw Cookie was as complicated as Snape's when he saw Harry
