I said that your bowl is full of meat to eat, but you don’t eat it. Instead, you’re staring off at a pot of fatty meat.

Gu Mingxi didn’t tell Pang Qian about what his dad spoke to him about. He couldn’t say it out loud because it was really too humiliating.

He indulged and hid away in Pang Qian’s small room, enjoying her silent concern and embrace. Although he knew it didn’t mean anything with regards to her feelings for him, Gu Mingxi still enjoyed that bitterness sweetly.

When Pang Qian loosened her hold, the both of them were both a bit embarrassed. Gu Mingxi straightened back up and said lightly, “I’m going home.”

Pang Qian sent him to the door and said, “If there’s something making you unhappy, you can tell me.”

Gu Mingxi turned back to look at her and nodded.

When he returned home, Li Han was washing clothes. Seeing him enter the room, she didn’t ask anything, and just said, “You’re home.”

Gu Mingxi carried his backpack into his room. “Mom, I’m going to do my homework.”

Li Han answered casually. “Okay. Make sure to sleep earlier when you’re done. Don’t work on it until the middle of the night.”

Gu Mingxi returned to his room and dropped his backpack on the floor. He sat down on his desk and pulled out a thick envelope from his bag with his feet.

Inside the envelope was 10 thousand dollars. It was an allowance from Gu Guoxiang. When they were eating dinner, Gu Guoxiang said, “Mingxi, I’m not by your side anymore. If there’s anything you want to eat or play with, just buy it yourself. You’ve grown up. I don’t know how to take care of you, so you have to know how to take care of yourself.

And then, without allowing Gu Mingxi to refuse it, Gu Guoxiang had already stuffed the envelope into his bag.

The reason he came to find Gu Mingxi was to help him encourage Li Han about something.

It was an incredulous thing.

Gu Guoxiang’s opening remark was, “Mingxi, do you want me to come home?”

Yes, of course yes.

Gu Mingxi knew that there were still lingering feelings between his father and mother. He also knew that his accident had dealt a huge blow to Gu Guoxiang, one that he’d never recovered from even after ten plus years. The rift between Gu Guoxiang and Li Han wasn’t unrelated to his serious disability.

Gu Mingxi’s head was originally lowered, as he concentrated on using his chopsticks to eat. After hearing this question, he lifted his head and asked, “Dad, are you willing to come home?”

Gu Guoxiang lit up a cigarette. He took off the glasses resting on the bridge of his nose and placed them onto the table. He looked across the table at Gu Mingxi. He really was already a grown-up kid. His facial features were lively, and he was nearly as tall as himself. Gu Guoxiang rubbed his eyebrows and said, “Of course I want to go home. I miss you and your mom too. It’s just that now… I’d like if you could help me with something. Go home and try to convince your mom about this, and then I promise that I’ll be able to stay with you guys. From now on, the slate is clean. We won’t bring this up again.”

Gu Mingxi asked curiously, “What is it?”

And then Gu Guoxiang told his plan to Gu Mingxi.

He had decided to have another child, regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl. After the child was born, he would give the mother a sum of money. The woman promised to never come back for the child. Gu Guoxiang said he would bring the child home and he and Li Han would raise him or her together. The child would be registered as Gu Guoxiang and Li Han’s, because they were allowed a second child under the current laws. As long as he had this child, Gu Guoxiang could promise that he would never commit the same wrong he’d committed previously.
