Chapter 460

Gu Gu Zhihang returned, saw his Big Brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time, rushed over to hug him, and laughed loudly.

"Brother, you're finally back! If you didn't come back, I would have wanted to go see you!"

Gu Gu Zhiyu hugged his younger brother back, patted Gu Zhihang's shoulder with his large palm, felt that his stance was very steady, thought that he hadn't forgotten to practice boxing, and revealed a satisfied smile.

Gu Gu Zhihang and he were twins; with just one casual movement from Big Brother, he knew what the other party meant.

He said helplessly, "My work is busy, but I haven't stopped exercising. Dad is used to running early in the morning, and he's nearly fifty, but his strength is still frighteningly great. Mom signed up for some dance class, and you participate in training every day. I'm afraid of being left behind by you all, so I can only practice every day."

Seeing Yaobao gave him a punch, "I also practice dancing, why did Second Brother skip me?"

"... Forgot." Gu Gu Zhihang shrugged and said cheekily.

Considering that Second Brother helped her buy duck legs, Seeing Yaobao didn't hold it against him.

Gu Gu Zhiyu looked at his lively younger brother and sister, the corners of his mouth lifting.

He said to Gu Zhihang, "I know Dad arranged bodyguards for you, but having others is not as good as having it yourself. The skills you learn are your own; you must have some ability to protect yourself."

Gu Gu Zhihang nodded, "I know, Grandpa also said these words to me."

Grandpa said that even though he was the most favored, he had also learned boxing and kicking. If he didn't have a foundation in boxing and kicking, he wouldn't have met Grandma, and there wouldn't be his mother, let alone them.

"As long as you have a sense of it in your heart," Gu Gu Zhiyu said.

With a simple compliment from Big Brother, the second one was all smiles.

He sat affectionately with his brother.

Gu Gu Zhihang looked at his brother and said, "Big Brother, why did you suddenly come back? You didn't say so earlier. If you had said so in advance, I could have gone to pick you up."

Gu Gu Zhiyu shook his head with a smile, "No need for that. There are buses, and the bus is very convenient; it goes straight to the front door. It's not like you have nothing to do, why waste your time?"

"How is it a waste of time? When Big Brother comes back, all other matters must make way for you," Gu Gu Zhihang said disapprovingly.

"I know you have the heart, but serious matters are more important," Gu Gu Zhiyu patted his second brother's shoulder.

"Picking up Big Brother is a rare serious matter," Gu Gu Zhihang insisted.

Gu Gu Zhiyu couldn't get through to him, so he simply skipped this topic, "I heard from Mom that you're going to build a Hope Primary School? When poor, cultivate your own virtue; when successful, benefit the world. Gu Zhihang, your idea is very good, I support you."

The corners of Gu Gu Zhihang's mouth curled slightly. Being praised by his brother... that sense of achievement almost doubled.

"It's nothing, I'm just practicing the Lin family's ancestral teachings," he feigned calmness.

"A gentleman is judged by his actions, not his intentions. No matter what, it's your plan, and it's very good," Gu Gu Zhiyu's expression was serious.

Gu Gu Zhihang was a bit embarrassed by the praise and changed the subject, "Brother, how many days can you stay at home this time?"

"Not sure yet, I will live at home until the parade ceremony ends," Gu Gu Zhiyu said.

Hearing this, Gu Gu Zhihang's eyes lit up slightly, and his tone suppressed excitement, "Brother, are you..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Gu Zhiyu lightly raised his index finger, pressed it against his lips, and his eyes smiled, "Confidential."

"Brother, you really..." Gu Gu Zhihang heard his brother's implication and excitedly pounded his chest.

"Brother, congratulations on achieving your wish." His voice was powerful, soaked with deep smiles.

"How come you look happier than me?" Gu Gu Zhiyu rubbed his chest where he had been hit and muttered with a smile.

Seeing Seeing Yaobao eating happily on the side, he also picked up a duck leg and started eating.

One bite down, spicy and numbing, a thrill that rushed to the top of his head.

No wonder Seeing Yaobao liked it; the taste was really good.

Lin Zhao was very good at eating spicy food when she was young. After her age went up, she consciously quit spicy food. Seeing the children eating happily, she couldn't help but take one too. Who knew that the more she ate, the more addicted she became, eating three in a row until her mouth was slightly swollen.

Gu Gu Chenghuai saw this scene when he returned—

The mother and children were sitting on the sofa, the TV was on, replaying the drama that his wife and daughter were both chasing. The four of them were wearing gloves and eating duck legs, taking a bite, hissing and gasping for air to relieve the spiciness.

Getting closer, one could see that the mother and daughter, who looked similar, had mouths that were red and looked slightly swollen. Both of them had sweat on their foreheads, fanning themselves with their hands, and not a shred of their outside baggage remained.

"Cough, cough..."

Hearing this cough, the four people who were chatting happily turned their heads.

Seeing his father, Gu Gu Zhiyu's gaze was dyed with joy. He stood up, quickly wiped his hands, walked over, and hugged Gu Gu Chenghuai.

"Dad!"

When the children were young, Gu Gu Chenghuai usually didn't have much airs. He let the children ride him like a horse when they should, took them out to play, watch movies, go to state-run restaurants, and go to supply and marketing cooperatives. He could be called a kind father.

He also didn't have the usual father's sense of self-importance. He respected the children's ideas and did his best to support them.

In this way, the four children were very close to him as a father.

Gu Gu Chenghuai patted the eldest's shoulder, "You're back."

"Mm, I originally planned to go to the military district to see you in the afternoon." Gu Gu Zhiyu pulled his father to sit down and handed a cup of tea to Gu Gu Chenghuai.

Gu Gu Chenghuai took it, took a sip, and said with a smile, "I heard you were back, how could I sit still? So I had someone send me back."

"Sorry for the trouble, Dad," Gu Gu Zhiyu said embarrassedly, but he was still very happy that his father valued him so much.

"It's nothing," Gu Gu Chenghuai waved his hand and called him into the study; there were some confidential matters to discuss.

Gu Gu Zhiyu stood up.

Gu Gu Chenghuai's thick right palm rested on Lin Zhao's shoulder, squeezed gently, and said warmly, "There are some important things to entrust to Gu Zhiyu, I'll let him out in a while."

"No rush, he's living at home anyway, there's plenty of time to chat," Lin Zhao said indifferently.

If her son had to leave that day and the children's father was still so tactless, she would definitely spray him.

Gu Gu Chenghuai nodded, staring at Lin Zhao's mouth, "Stop eating spicy food, your mouth is swollen."

"You manage me as soon as you come back," Lin Zhao muttered, "I know, I won't eat it anymore. It's fine if I drink tea, right?"

"Mm, herbal tea relieves spiciness, drink more."

After saying this, Gu Gu Chenghuai and Gu Gu Zhiyu went to the study one after the other.

Gu Gu Zhihang leaned against the sofa in a spread-eagle position, "If I had known, I would have taken the aviation exam too. Dad always finds Brother to whisper, there's nothing for me at all. If this continues, what common topics can Brother and I have? I tell him how much money I make, and he's not interested. Maybe he'll even think I'm full of copper smell."

He didn't feel it before, but after Gu Gu Zhiyu entered the special department, this feeling became clearer.

If you ask, it's confidential and can't be said.

"What are you saying? When has your brother ever looked down on you? You really know how to imagine things. It's a pity you don't go write scripts..." Lin Zhao was very helpless.

Seeing Yaobao nodded, "Second Brother is overthinking. Big Brother wouldn't look down on you. Big Brother protects you the most."

"Really?"

"Really, really. You and Big Brother came into this world one after the other; you are the closest. Just like Little Brother and me, Little Brother and I are the closest in this world," Seeing Yaobao said seriously.

Gu Gu Zhihang couldn't help but be sarcastic, "You have three brothers, you are closest to the third one, where does that put me and Big Brother? It hurts the handsome guy's heart too much."

Seeing Yaobao was stunned by Second Brother's thick-skinned words.

It was true that Second Brother was handsome and could compare with the big stars in Hong Kong, but was it not good to brag about himself like this?

"I'm also very close to Big Brother and Second Brother," she hurriedly explained, wishing she had eight mouths to talk Second Brother down.

"What a reluctant way of saying it, I can't accept it." Gu Gu Zhihang had nothing to do and just knew how to tease his sister. Seeing Seeing Yaobao change her face, he was satisfied.

"Then what does Second Brother want to do?" Seeing Yaobao's face wrinkled together, "I'll run errands for you tomorrow, okay?"

"So perfunctory." Seeing his sister clench her small fists, Gu Gu Zhihang stopped while he was ahead, "No need for you to run errands, accompany me to go shopping tomorrow."

He wanted to give his mother a set of jewelry. He had already chosen it and wanted Seeing Yaobao to help him take a look from a woman's perspective.

"Second Brother wants to go shopping?" Seeing Yaobao was full of disbelief.

"Why, can't I go shopping?" Gu Gu Zhihang raised his eyelids and looked straight at her.

"No, I didn't say that," Seeing Yaobao hurriedly said, "Isn't Second Brother the most annoyed by shopping?"

"People change. You used to say duck legs were tasteless, but aren't you gnawing on them the happiest now?" Gu Gu Zhihang retorted.

Very reasonable, couldn't argue.

Seeing Yaobao stopped paying attention to the difficult Second Brother and looked at Lin Zhao, "Mom, are you going with us tomorrow?"

Gu Gu Zhihang's expression was calm, and his sitting posture didn't change at all.

One hundred percent not going.

There were two reasons: first, Dad was back, and Mom wanted to sleep in and wouldn't get up too early; second, she said she was going to do her hair these days, and before her hair was done, nothing could get in the way.

Sure enough.

Lin Zhao said, "I won't go, I plan to do my hair tomorrow."

"Why do your hair? The curls are very good-looking, and the color is also good." Seeing Yaobao looked at her mother's hair, full of love.

"I want to straighten it and dye it black. I'm going to the big parade scene, curly hair is not suitable, it's too fashionable." Lin Zhao brushed her hair, also feeling reluctant, but everything had to make way for serious matters.

Seeing Yaobao thought to herself, that's true.

The little cotton-padded jacket comforted her, "Mom, if you want to perm it again in the future, I can accompany you."

Lin Zhao's heart was very warm. She held her daughter's beautiful face and rubbed it a few times, "So thoughtful, Seeing Yaobao is really Mom's cotton-padded vest."

Seeing Yaobao smiled and hugged her mother's waist. Her mother smelled good, and she liked hugging her mother.

"Not afraid of the heat." Gu Gu Zhihang couldn't stand it and complained.

"Second Brother, you're just saying the grapes are sour because you can't eat them. You also want to hug Mom, but you're afraid Dad will beat you, so you don't dare. You're envious and jealous of me." Seeing Yaobao hugged even tighter, her little expression as arrogant as it could be.

"Gu Gu Zhi Yao, you're really childish, childish to death. You're an adult, not a five or six-year-old child, and you're still clinging to Mom like this. Aren't you afraid your colleagues and friends will laugh at you?" Gu Gu Zhihang wouldn't admit that he was indeed a bit sour.

"Childish is childish." Seeing Yaobao didn't care, "A child with a mother is a treasure, I'm happy to be childish."

"... Tch." Gu Gu Zhihang snorted coldly.

Seeing Yaobao won by a narrow margin and happily shook her feet.

Study.

Gu Gu Chenghuai entrusted Gu Gu Zhiyu with some things to pay attention to during the parade ceremony, reminding him to be bold and careful, and to fly boldly.

After about half an hour, the father and son came out one after the other.

"Finished talking." Lin Zhao said.

"Mm." Gu Gu Chenghuai responded and sat beside her.

"Accompany me to do my hair tomorrow?" Lin Zhao kicked Gu Gu Chenghuai's knee with her toe.

"Isn't your hair quite good? Why do it again?" Gu Gu Chenghuai asked.

"It doesn't feel quite right. I want to dye it black and straighten it. For such a big scene, I hope to appear in an authentic Chinese style." Lin Zhao explained.

"I plan to wear a cheongsam, you help me pick one later." She said again.

Gu Gu Chenghuai couldn't help with his wife's dressing matters and didn't point fingers, just nodded.

"Good, I'll help pick." As soon as the tail of the sentence fell, he added as if to prevent trouble, "You look good in everything."

"That's natural." Lin Zhao said confidently.

She had good proportions, a short upper body and long lower body, and was a clothes hanger no matter how she matched it.

Not to mention, those cheongsams were given to her by Lin Yu, and they were all custom-made by hand, elegant and generous, and incomparably beautiful, showing oriental bearing. They were beautiful no matter how they were worn.

The next afternoon, Lin Zhao and Gu Gu Chenghuai went to the barbershop near their home.

It took more than three hours to make her hair look the way she wanted.

Lin Zhao was still very satisfied with the effect.

Long, straight, black hair was the hairstyle she often wore before.

"How is it?"

Gu Gu Chenghuai opened his mouth to praise, "Good-looking."

"I also think it's good-looking. It's a different feeling from curly hair. Just like this, let's go home!" Lin Zhao had already planned it. Wear a cheongsam, and then use a hairpin to pin her hair up. It was decent and generous, and it wouldn't be abrupt no matter how big the occasion was.

As the parade ceremony got closer and closer, the capital was obviously more lively, and tourists who came to play could be seen when going out.

Locals had a feeling of being surrounded when they went out to buy something.

Lin Zhao no longer went out.

The TV station where Seeing Yaobao worked had to film the whole process and report to the national audience, so she also got busy. She often had to work overtime at night, so Gu Gu Zhihang simply booked a hotel for her near the unit and told her not to toss and turn.

There were too many people on the road, and the time required for coming and going increased significantly. It was better to live nearby, which could also give her more rest time.

Due to work reasons, Gu Gu Zhi Yao accidentally got to know a host.

The two got closer due to work, and in the day-to-day getting along and understanding, they both had a bit of that meaning.

All of this, the Gu family didn't know for the time being.

The day of the parade ceremony.

Lin Zhao got up early, did a simple hairstyle, put on a thin layer of makeup, applied lipstick that brightened her complexion, put on the deep blue cheongsam with shoulder sleeves that she had chosen and ironed flat in advance, and walked out of the room.

Gu Gu Zhiyu had gone out early to join the team. Gu Gu Zhihang was still at home. He looked at Lin Zhao's attire, his eyes lit up slightly, and he praised, "Radiant! Mom, if you go to Hong Kong to participate in a beauty pageant, you will definitely be able to get first place."

"Get lost." Gu Gu Chenghuai scolded. He knew that the contestants participating in beauty pageants wore very cool clothes.

He wasn't a male chauvinist, but he didn't want his lover to be judged by others.

Gu Gu Zhihang pinched his own mouth, "I'll shut up."

Big vinegar jar! Can't even make a joke.

At the door, Gu Gu Chenghuai's guard had already arrived.

Seeing the leader, he stood straight, saluted, and bowed slightly to open the car door.

The family of three, Lin Zhao, got into the car.

The car drove to the destination, and they entered with viewing tickets.

Gu Gu Chenghuai had a mission and couldn't accompany Lin Zhao all the time, so he asked Gu Gu Zhihang to take good care of his mother, and he took the guard to return to the team quickly.

Just after walking over, he was surrounded by everyone, who were saying something to him.

Gu Gu Chenghuai walked at the front, his expression steady and cold, nodding from time to time in response.

"Your dad is really handsome!" Lin Zhao looked at her husband's thick back, her face full of appreciation.

The aura of a superior is really dazzling.

Gu Gu Zhihang couldn't deny it and said with emotion, "It's very handsome, thank you Mom for picking such an awesome dad for the four of us siblings!"

This handsome face of his brought him a lot of convenience.
