Young Master He's mermaid baby is super sweet

"Grandpa?" Luo You sat down at the table, seemingly sensing something was wrong, but he didn't know why his grandfather had been a bit cold to him this morning.

After thinking for a moment, Luo You used his chopsticks to pickle a little bit of pickled vegetables and put it in the bowl in front of Grandpa Su, saying softly.

"Grandpa, eat."

Grandpa Su then looked up at him, nodded slightly, and gave him a faint smile.

"Okay, I'll eat it."

Luo You felt relieved and picked up his chopsticks to start eating as well.

He Shizhou went to the kitchen and served him a bowl of porridge, placed it in front of him, sat down next to him, peeled a boiled egg and put it in his bowl, and told him to eat it.

Luo You was used to eating a boiled egg every morning, so he wasn't picky. He would just eat the egg white and leave the yolk, then pitifully go to see He Shizhou.

He Shizhou reluctantly leaned over, and Luo You fed him the egg yolk before starting to eat the rest.

After eating, He Shizhou drove the three of them to the hospital. The little one in the hospital bed was almost fully recovered and was awake, kicking his little legs and playing.

Upon seeing Luo You and He Shizhou enter, it excitedly shouted at them, making incoherent noises, though it was unclear what it was saying.

Luo You was naturally happy to see that the child was healthy, so she rushed over and played with him by the bedside. He Shizhou stood on the other side, closer to the doctor who was still examining the child, pursed his lips, and asked in a low voice after a while.

"Doctor? The child isn't a little kid anymore, should we soak him in water and see?"

The doctor paused in his examination, straightened up, and looked at He Shizhou with the eyes of someone looking at a lunatic.

"You have to be careful when bathing such a small child, why are you soaking him in water? Besides, he's just recovered from an illness, shouldn't you, as a parent, be more careful?"

He Shizhou wanted to say something more, after all, this child was not quite the same as normal people, and who knows, he might grow a fish tail if he soaked in the water, but he thought about it and couldn't say it, because this matter could not be known to others.

So he didn't dare say anything. Su Yin, who had been watching over him the whole time, pushed him and glared at him fiercely.

He Shizhou had no way to explain, so he could only touch his nose, silently admit it, and sigh in his heart.

Why doesn't it have a fish tail?

This time, when Grandpa Su entered the room, he didn't immediately go to the bedside to check on the child as usual. Instead, he stood at a distance behind him, his gaze fixed on Luo You, looking at him for a while and then at the child on the bed.

His mind was in turmoil. He hadn't quite recovered from what he'd seen about the fish tail last night, but he still liked Luo You. However, this liking was now tinged with something else.

After all, people still don't know much about mermaids.

"Dad," Su Yin called out as she walked over to Grandpa Su, then clenched her hand somewhat awkwardly before finally asking sheepishly, "Did you come for breakfast so early?"

Grandpa Su looked at her, but didn't give her a cold look; he simply nodded.

"I ate. Shi Zhou was home this morning. He got up early to make breakfast and ate before coming over."

Although the father and daughter haven't been as cold to each other as before, this was the first time that Grandpa Su had said such a long sentence to Su Yin, and Su Yin's eyes reddened again.

She quickly looked away, suppressing the tears welling up in her eyes.

The death of Madam Su back then has haunted her for years, and she has never dared to go home to face her father, so she has been afraid to meet him all these years.

After the doctor finished the examination, he said the child was fine and could be discharged after two more days of observation at the hospital, and then he left.

Luo Youshou was playing with the child by the bedside, and He Shizhou was with him. Grandpa Su sat on the sofa to the side, watching the family of three by the bed. Su Yin also sat quietly on the sofa without saying a word.

The only sounds in the room were Luo You playing with the child and the occasional laughter of the little one on the bed.

The atmosphere was somewhat subtle.

Not long after, there was another knock on the door. Su Yin opened the door and saw He Qi outside and He Linyan behind him. Her expression changed and she subconsciously turned around to look at Old Master Su sitting in the room.

"Aunt Su." Although Su Yin had never been very kind to He Linyan, He Linyan had always respected her greatly, so she greeted her as soon as she entered the room.

Su Yin nodded slightly, but she couldn't care less about him at the moment. When Grandpa Su saw He Qi, his face was already extremely ugly.

If it weren't for him, his daughter wouldn't have been so determined to marry into the He family, which eventually made his wife so angry that she fell ill and passed away a few years later.

"Dad," He Qi called out again, but received no reply.

"I'll go out and sit for a while." After saying that, Grandpa Su stood up, leaned on his cane, passed by He Qi, pushed open the door, and went out by himself.

Su Yin glared at He Qi and chased after him.

He Qi's face remained expressionless; he simply raised his hand to touch his nose and then sighed.

Actually, he was somewhat innocent. He was dumped by He Linyan's mother back then, and later forced to marry Su Yin. He only found out about the reasons behind this later.

"How is the child?" He Linyan walked to the bedside and looked at the child on the bed.

The little brat looked at him with its bright black eyes, blinked blankly, and seemed to like him quite a bit, waving at him.

He Linyan curiously reached out, only to have his fingers grabbed tightly by the little thing, which wouldn't let go.

"Brother, he likes you a lot." He Shizhou smiled and poked his son's cheek, and the little guy blew a bubble.

"The doctor said everything is fine now, and I can be discharged and go home after two more days of observation in the hospital."

"That's good. Children's health is not good, so we still need to pay extra attention to them." He Linyan's voice was gentle, and his fingers did not withdraw.

He Qi, who was standing next to him, finally walked to the bedside, looked down at the little thing on the bed, and moved his hand as if he wanted to touch it, but he was a little at a loss.

Perhaps it was because his expression was a bit fierce, but the little thing pursed its lips when it saw him, and soon its eyes filled with tears.

I had gotten used to his expression when we were at the He family's old house, but after a few days apart, I don't recognize him anymore.

He Qi quickly took a step back, and the little thing stopped crying. It took He Linyan's hand and put it in its mouth, as if it wanted to take a bite.

However, He Linyan didn't let him succeed and pulled his finger back in time.

The little thing on the bed stared blankly, nibbled on its own little hand, and seemed a bit unhappy. After being teased by Luo You for a while, it started playing with him again.

He Shizhou and He Linyan hadn't seen each other for a while. They got up and talked for a while, but neither of them mentioned the previous incident.

He Linyan felt a little relieved after speaking his mind.

It was a rare occasion for the father and his two sons to get together. They sat on the sofa and talked, while Luo You continued to watch over the baby by the bedside.

On a bench in the hospital, Grandpa Su sat quietly, leaning on his cane. Su Yin followed him out, stood behind him for a while, and then carefully walked over and sat down beside him.

"Dad." Su Yin bit her lip, her hands clenched tightly. "I'm sorry. It's been so many years, and I still don't know how to face you. Back then, what happened to my mother was my fault. I was unfilial and acted recklessly, which led to such a consequence. All these years, I only dared to let Shi Zhou accompany you, but I didn't dare to show my face myself. I have no face to see you."

Grandpa Su looked at his daughter, who was crying and trembling beside him, and his eyes also became a little moist. After a long while, he raised his hand and touched the top of Su Yin's head as he used to.

The past is the past, and his wife has been dead for over twenty years. He only had one daughter in his life, and now that he's old, he doesn't want to hold a grudge anymore.

"Yinyin, it's something your father has been unable to let go of all these years. Before your mother left, she was always worried about whether you were doing well." He choked up, "But I see that He Qi seems to be treating you quite well now, so I'm relieved."

Su Yin couldn't speak, but turned around and threw herself into Grandpa Su's arms, hugging him and crying loudly.

Although he and He Qi argued every day in the past few years and neither of them was comfortable, He Qi seems to have changed a lot recently. He takes good care of her, and even when she gets angry and scolds him, He Qi won't say anything, he just silently accepts it.

He's been treating her quite well lately, but Su Yin doesn't really want to talk to him, so she hasn't been giving him a friendly look. These days she's been staying in the hospital and hasn't even gone home.

The father and daughter hugged each other for a long time, until Su Yin cried herself to sleep and her eyes were red and swollen before they finally let go.

The two sat on the bench and talked for a long time, as if they wanted to recount everything that had happened over the past twenty years.

They kept talking until their mouths were dry and their throats were parched.

The weather was nice today. There were quite a few people on the lawn, and all sorts of people were around. The soft conversations made the scene seem especially peaceful under the bright sunlight.

After sitting for a while, Old Master Su pursed his lips, looked at Su Yin beside him, and hesitated whether he should speak. But after a while, he finally made up his mind to tell her what he had seen last night.

After all, we'll be family from now on, and keeping it a secret isn't a good idea; it'll be found out sooner or later.

Besides, although Grandpa Su had some difficulty accepting that Luo You was a mermaid, he still liked Luo You, and he also had a great-grandson, so he never thought of separating He Shizhou and Luo You.

Su Yin was stunned and stood there for a long time before she finally processed what he had said.

"Dad, are you saying Youyou is a mermaid?" Because there were people around, she subconsciously lowered her voice and asked softly.

After saying that, she also remembered that it was no wonder that Luo You, as a man, could have a child, and it was also no wonder that He Shizhou had asked the doctor in the ward earlier if the child could be soaked in water.

Maybe the child is a little mermaid with a tail, but hasn't encountered water yet, so the tail hasn't shown.

But her son actually caught a fish!
