I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father (Chat - gpt - translated)

Chapter 97

Gu Shao trembled as he held onto the doorknob. He lowered his head and pushed the door open. At this moment, Gu Xi and Sheng Xiuyan were sitting on the sofa in the living room, with Sheng Xiuyan applying an ice pack to Gu Xi. The two had done nothing wrong, but the intimate position they were in made Gu Shao's temples throb. Finally, they noticed Gu Shao who had just walked in. "Dad, you're back," Gu Xi said in a rush, her face twitching in pain.

Seeing Gu Xisi's brows furrowed in pain, the sternness in Gu Shao's eyes softened considerably. ——Yesterday when he helped Gu Xisi with the ice pack, the girl was still screaming in pain. Now it looks like she's much better than this morning.

Hearing Gu Shao coming back, Sheng Xiuyuan also put away the ice pack in his hand, stood up and faced Gu Shao.

Sheng Xiuyuan quickly concealed the embarrassment in his eyes, and called out to Gu Shao as if nothing had happened.

However, the tension in him could be seen from the hand clutching the ice pack tightly.

Not just Sheng Xiuyuan, Gu Xisi was also tense now.

Strangely, Shen Xiuyan used to come to the Gu family often, and this side also followed Gu Chenyi and them to come before. Several people were playing together, but Gu Xi never felt anything before, but now she inexplicably felt embarrassed.

Gu Xi muttered in her heart, then smiled embarrassedly at Gu Shao and pointed to Shen Xiuyan to explain: "He came back from S City, heard that I had surgery and came over to take a look."

Gu Xi especially emphasized the two words "incidentally".

——Is that so?

Gu Shao squinted his eyes. How did he hear that Professor Zhou's visit and study had not yet ended, and the little guy had already asked for leave and ran back?

Gu Shao glanced at Gu Xi, then looked at Sheng Xiuyan. "How is your study going?" Gu Shao asked, but his cold tone lacked any hint of concern.

"Not bad," Sheng Xiuyan replied. After a pause, she added honestly, "The rest of the visit wasn't related to my direction, so I came back early."

Gu Shao made no response to her explanation. His gaze shifted to the dining area, where the porridge Gu Xi made was served.

—Casually, even the meal was taken care of "casually"?

"I'm going to clean up," Sheng Xiuyan said, and went to wash the dishes.

After having eaten, She said she had a toothache, so he gave her an ice pack first.

"Leave it." Gu Shao interrupted Sheng Xiuyan in a deep voice.

Sheng Xiuyan was stunned.

And then she heard Gu Shao say, "What kind of logic is it to let a guest wash dishes?"

Whether it was intentional or not, Gu Shao emphasized the word "guest", and even had a hint of gritting his teeth.

"Sit down," Gu Shao asked Sheng Xiuyan to sit down.

Seeing Sheng Xiuyan sitting next to Gu Xi, Gu Shao wrinkled his brows.

—Before, when the two had been playing and competing together, there had been a lot of times when they had been together. Gu Shao hadn't paid much attention to it then, but today, it seemed particularly irritating.

"Xi Xi."

"Yes?"

"Go put on another layer of clothes, you might catch a cold." Gu Shao said.

Hearing this, Gu Xi's mouth twitched. She had wanted to say that it wasn't cold in summer and that her home clothes were thick enough, but seeing Gu Shao's rare stern gaze, Gu Xi gave Sheng Xiuyan a 'you reap what you sow' look before standing up to put on more clothes.
