The first to tease is the one who receives

"Baby."

Being called so gently by Gu Zhun, Luo Huaiyao felt his heart skip a beat. He never knew that the sweet and childish name that he used to despise could make his heart so moved.

Gu Zhun smiled as he looked at Luo Huaiyao's daze. The two looked into each other's eyes, one doting while the other was moved. Suddenly, even the air seemed to be filled with a sweet taste.

"Baby Lolo! Come and wash some fruits!" Ms. Yao Meihua's voice suddenly came from the kitchen. Her brisk voice instantly broke the ambiguous atmosphere in the room. Luo Huaiyao turned his head abruptly and avoided Gu Zhun's fiery gaze.

"Come, come!" He responded, and told Gu Zhun somewhat helplessly, "Sit down and watch TV for a while."

After saying that, he hurried to the kitchen.

Gu Zhun leaned on the sofa and looked at Luo Huaiyao's back with a helpless look on his face. When their Yao Yao was not thin-skinned, he was always very thin-skinned, but when he should be thin-skinned, he was as thick as a city wall.

He shook his head and wanted to watch TV, but he couldn't find the remote control. Gu Zhun stood up and walked to the TV cabinet, ready to look for it. At this moment, the door in the yard clicked, and footsteps came from far away. Gu Zhun turned his head and saw a tall man in work clothes walking in. He stood at the door against the light, looking even more imposing.

Seeing a strange guy with a flat head squatting in front of the TV cabinet at home, Luo Jun frowned and said nothing.

Gu Zhun was still searching for something, reaching into the drawer. Stared at by Luo Jun's sharp eyes, he subconsciously withdrew his hand, then obediently closed the drawer, stood up and bowed deeply to Luo Jun.

"Hello uncle! I am Luo Huaiyao's friend!"

Luo Jun didn't say anything and continued to stare at Gu Zhun.

"Dad? Why don't you come in... Hey?"

Luo Huaiyao came over with a fruit plate and saw his father standing at the door like a stake, motionless. He was greeting him with a smile, but when he looked down, he saw Gu Zhun bending 90 degrees as if he was bowing?

What the hell?

"Hello, Luo Luo's friend." Luo Jun walked in and tried to smile, but failed in the end. He could only extend his hand to show his friendliness.

"Hello, hello!" Gu Zhun held Luo Jun's hands with both hands and did not dare to straighten his waist.

"Come and eat some fruit." Luo Huaiyao stretched out his foot and kicked Gu Zhun's hind legs, signaling him to sit on the sofa. Gu Zhun did sit on the sofa, but unlike the unruly old man's posture just now, his current sitting posture was more standard than that of a first-grade child, with his back straight, his knees close together, his hands on his knees, and he looked extremely well-behaved.

Luo Huaiyao couldn't help but twitch his lips. What was Gu Zhun crazy about? Pretending to be a good student in front of his father?
Luo Jun glanced at Gu Zhun's posture and nodded with some satisfaction. Luo Luo, this friend, seemed to be a good kid. He cleared his throat and tried to find a topic: "Little friend, where are you from?"

"I'm from Haicheng!"

"Oh."

"..."

The topic ends here. Luo Huaiyao found it a little funny to see the two people so embarrassed that they were restrained. His father was a serious person, so it was normal for him to talk less. But it was really unexpected that Gu Zhun's sharp tongue would die down at this time.

Could this be the legendary one thing conquers another? Luo Huaiyao pulled out a banana and started eating it, but his eyes kept darting between the two of them.

"Eat!" Luo Huaiyao kicked Gu Zhun and nodded at him.

Gu Zhun nodded but did not move, still looking well-behaved.

"Luo Jun!" Ms. Yao Meihua began to order people around. "Now that you're back, why don't you come and help me wash the vegetables?"

"Here I come!" Luo Jun stood up with a start and ran to the kitchen in a hurry. His back looked like Luo Huaiyao just now.

Gu Zhun finally breathed a sigh of relief. He leaned back on the sofa as if all his strength had been drained away, and swallowed hard. Under Luo Huaiyao's teasing eyes, he snatched the banana from his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

Luo Huaiyao: "..."

"Delicious!" Gu Zhun nodded affirmatively, then threw the banana peel to Luo Huaiyao and said with a smile, "Thank you!"

Luo Huaiyao: "..."

"Gu Zhun, do you know?" Luo Huaiyao threw the banana peel into the trash can with a wooden face, "You are so perfect in the legend, but in fact your image is just like this banana peel, it is irreversible."

"Really?" Gu Zhun nodded without commenting, "Rumors are just rumors after all."

"I'm certainly more attractive in person."

"I vomited." Luo Huaiyao rolled his eyes, but was strangled by Gu Zhun, who secretly kissed him on the neck.

"Hey!" Luo Huaiyao was speechless. How come Gu Zhun's face was thicker than the sole of a shoe?

"I'm going to pass out if you don't give me some sweet treats." Gu Zhun said with a smile, "My father-in-law's aura is too strong. I'm very scared."

"Really?" Luo Huaiyao glanced at him, feeling very disgusted with Gu Zhun's words. Could it be that the expression of fear was to kiss him secretly?

"Lolo! Beibei! It's time to eat!" Yao Meihua's voice was heard again. The two people who were still sticking together quickly stood up and put some distance between themselves.

Although Luo Huaiyao's father looks very serious, he has a warm and lovely mother. During the meal, Yao Meihua almost revealed all of Luo Huaiyao's past to Gu Zhun, including the fact that Luo Huaiyao wore skirts when he was a child, bumped into a telephone pole while walking, fell into a stinky ditch, and was chased by a dog for stealing peaches from someone's yard... The dinner table was filled with the laughter of Yao Meihua and Gu Zhun. The remaining two, Luo Huaiyao, were either too tongue-tied to get a word in, or didn't want to interrupt as the person involved.

"Oh, Beibei! How can I let you wash the dishes!" Yao Meihua came back from cleaning the table and saw Gu Zhun was about to wash the dishes. She hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Put it down quickly."

"Auntie, you said we are a family, isn't it normal for the family to wash dishes?" Gu Zhun replied with a smile.

"That won't work." Yao Meihua shook her head frantically, and then she called Luo Jun and Luo Huaiyao over with one sentence, "Who of you two will wash the dishes?"

Luo Jun raised his hand silently, and Luo Huaiyao was immediately moved, and began to sing "My Old Father..." in his heart.

Then Luo Jun pointed at Luo Huaiyao, and his meaning was very clear, asking him to wash.

Luo Huaiyao: "..."

"Okay, I'll wash it. I don't have time to wash it at school, so I'll wash more when I get home." Luo Huaiyao began to untie his mother's apron, preparing to tie it on himself.

"Well. That's good enough." Yao Meihua nodded with satisfaction, took Luo Jun's hand and went for a walk after dinner.

After the two elders left, Gu Zhun hurriedly untied the bow behind Luo Huaiyao's waist, took off her apron and was about to put it on.

"What are you doing?"

Luo Huaiyao was stunned by his push, and the latter waved his hand in disdain and replied: "Go and have fun."

Luo Huaiyao, who understood, immediately smiled. He came over happily and said flatteringly, "You are such a good person!"

"Stop!" Gu Zhun shook his finger, "Don't give me the nice guy card."

"I don't want a compliment."

Luo Huaiyao understood immediately and spit angrily, then ran away.

Although Luo Huaiyao's house is a building, the downstairs is mainly the kitchen, dining room, living room and toilet, and the upstairs is two large rooms and a toilet. There are no extra guest rooms, so Gu Zhun can only sleep with Luo Huaiyao.

In this regard, Ms. Yao Meihua expressed that she felt very embarrassed for having to make the guests squeeze in with her own son who was sleeping and fighting.

But Gu Zhun said that it didn't matter, he could sleep anywhere. But what he was thinking in his heart was probably only known by Luo Huaiyao.

"Hey." Luo Huaiyao leaned on the bed. He looked at Gu Zhun, whose lips were constantly rising, and warned, "Be careful in my house."

As for what to be careful about, both of them knew it well.

"Don't worry, there won't be any sound." Gu Zhun said calmly and went to take a shower.

Luo Huaiyao knew the meaning of the song, even though it was not very elegant. He buried himself in the quilt, suddenly feeling a little uneasy and a little embarrassed. His parents were sleeping next door, what if there was a noise?
Luo Huaiyao, who was extremely conflicted, stopped worrying as soon as Gu Zhun came back from taking a bath. The reason was simple: Gu Zhun was simply holding him in his arms and sleeping, without any movement, so naturally no sound was made.

Luo Huaiyao was stunned. He nudged Gu Zhun with his elbow, a little puzzled: "You..."

"Sleep." Gu Zhun touched Luo Huaiyao's hair and replied, "In your home, your parents are right next to you. I won't do anything."

"Be good, sleep."

"Oh."

Somehow, Gu Zhun's words made Luo Huaiyao feel a little moved. Maybe it was because Gu Zhun was usually too thick-skinned, and it was rare for him to be so serious.

Luo Huaiyao laughed, then slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Luo Huaiyao was awakened by the urge to pee. When he came back from the toilet and passed by his parents' room, he heard a conversation. He was surprised that the two were still awake at this time. Luo Huaiyao walked over and was about to knock on the door to remind the two middle-aged people not to stay up late, but he accidentally heard what they were discussing.

His hand froze, and he didn't knock on the door in the end. When he returned to the room, Luo Huaiyao couldn't fall asleep for a long time. His mood seemed to be drifting on the vast sea, ups and downs, his thoughts were surging, disturbing him and making him tremble uncontrollably.

When Luo Huaiyao is too nervous or too excited, he will tremble slightly, as if he was frozen by the cold weather.

Gu Zhun felt it while he was half asleep. He gently moved over and hugged Luo Huaiyao tightly in his arms, then comforted him: "Don't be afraid."

He neither asked what happened nor why, but just locked Luo Huaiyao tightly, not daring to relax even a little.

Luo Huaiyao was held by Gu Zhun like this until he fell asleep in the middle of the night. When he woke up, Gu Zhun was no longer beside him. He hurriedly threw off the quilt and ran downstairs, but he could only see his mother setting the table.

"Lolo!" Yao Meihua glared at him. "Beibei has already gotten up and gone for a run, but you are still lying in bed!"

"This is a bad habit, we need to change it!"

"Oh." Luo Huaiyao scratched his head and walked to the dining table and sat down. His father next to him was watching a funny video on his mobile phone. The smile on his face was uglier than crying.

What’s going on… Luo Huaiyao touched his nose. Everything seemed so normal. Could it be that what he experienced last night was just a dream?
