It was already late at night when they arrived at Li’s house. Father and Mother Li had been waiting at the door for a long time after receiving the news. When they saw Li Songyun getting out of the car, Mother Li immediately supported Li Songyun and said distressedly: “Why do you look so bad?”
“Dad has a fever,” Gu Tunan said.
Mother Li took Li Songyun’s temperature with the back of her hand: “Oh, it’s so hot. Why are you wearing so little when you have a fever? You are already a father and you don’t know how to take care of yourself.”
Gu Tunan then noticed that his little dad came out wearing light home clothes like home.
The alpha’s physique was better than that of omegas. Gu Tunan only wore two pieces in winter, so it was difficult for him to notice such details.
“Hurry up and come into the house, Xiao Nan. Come and sit in the house too. We had to trouble you to send your little dad back so late at night. It’s been really hard on you.” When Mother Li spoke to Gu Tunan, her grandson, she unconsciously brought a hint of a flattering tone in it.
“No, I have to go back.” Gu Tunan didn’t know what kind of trouble his grandfather and father would cause at home, and he was worried about Xiao Feng staying at home alone.
Tonight, grandpa threw the table in front of Xiao Feng, and his father remained indifferent when Xiao Feng cried. Whenever he recalled these scenes, Gu Tunan would feel a headache.
Mother Li and Gu Tunan exchanged pleasantries in a few more words. After Gu Tunan left, she helped Li Songyun into the house, found anti-fever medicine at home and gave it to Li Songyun to take, without stopping for a quarter of an hour.
“Dad, Mom, I want to divorce Gu Mian.” Li Songyun said softly.
Mother Li paused, then handed the newly found pajamas to Li Songyun, saying: “Songyun, you are not a child anymore. Don’t talk about divorce and say other angry words.”
Father Li nodded calmly, “Gu Mian told me, it’s just a small conflict, why did you make it so ugly? Your second uncle’s family used to fight every day, but isn’t it good now? Songyun, you have to be content…”
“I’m tired.” Li Songyun stood up and said, “I’m going to take a nap first, Dad, Mom, good night.”
Looking at Li Songyun’s retreating back, Father Li and Mother Li looked at each other, and Mother Li sighed worriedly. After a breath, Father Li shook his head displeased.
After Li Songyun walked to the bedroom, he realized that he had forgotten to take the change of clothes that Mother Li had given him. He walked back to the living room and accidentally heard Mother Li making a video call with Gu Peifeng.
In the video, Gu Peifeng’s eyes and nose were red, crying while eating steaming rice.
Mother Li felt sorry for her little grandson and couldn’t help but ask Gu Peifeng to eat slowly.
It looked like he was starving.
Li Songyun stopped and looked at the child on the light screen with gentle eyes.
“Xiao Feng, the nanny made this meal for you, right?” Mother Li asked.
Gu Peifeng nodded while sobbing.
“Which is better, the nanny’s cooking or the food cooked by your little dad?” Mother Li was persuasive.
“Little dad!” Gu Peifeng said loudly: “I like the food cooked by my little dad the most!”
“Do you want to eat the food cooked by your little dad every day?” Mother Li continued to ask.
Gu Peifeng nodded vigorously.
“When you are full, call your little dad, cry hard to your little dad, and beg him not to divorce your father, you know? If your little dad divorces your father, you can only stay with your father. After that, our poor Xiao Feng will no longer be able to eat the food cooked by his little dad.”
Gu Peifeng was frightened by the last sentence and refused to eat. “Grandma is talking nonsense! My little dad said he wanted to get divorced and would only take me!”
“You stupid kid, your father makes all the money in the family. Your little dad is just a freeloader. He can’t even support himself after getting divorced. How can he support you…”
Li Songyun stood quietly in the corner until his hands and feet went cold. When his senses came back, he quietly turned around, returned to the room, and lay on the bed in the bedroom where he had stayed before getting married.
He suffered from insomnia.
….
“Tangtang, you have to get up early tomorrow, let’s go get a beautiful hair style.” Mother Tang took out the jewelry box, “By the way, do you want to wear earrings tomorrow? Mom bought you new earrings before.”
Tomorrow Tang Bai was going to attend the chief ceremony. His military school uniform had been carefully ironed by Mother Tang, and the leather shoes had also been polished. However, Mother Tang was still not satisfied and was racking her brains to try to make Tang Bai the most beautiful boy in the audience tomorrow.
Father Tang was checking Tang Bai’s speech draft, and he almost said that his son was too promising: “This sentence is well written, um, not bad, not bad.”
Tang Bai leaned over and looked at the pair that Mother Tang had chosen for him. This pair of earrings were made of beautiful black diamonds, the same black as Xie Ruheng’s eyecups.
My brother Xie and I have to wear one each.
Tang Bai thought happily.
“Ding dong~” Mother Tang turned on the light brain, read the new news and said with a smile: “Tangtang, tomorrow your Uncle Li will also come to see your chief ceremony. After watching it, we will attend the celebration banquet together. You see, everyone doesn’t want to miss your highlight moment.”
Tang Bai’s eyes lit up, “Uncle Li’s dessert is delicious! Can I taste it?”
Mother Tang said fondly, “Of course, you little greedy cat.
“Tangtang, after becoming the chief of the Mechanical Department, the school will support you in weapons research. Have you decided what research direction you want to choose?” Grandpa Tang asked.
“I’ve thought about it for a long time! I want to study space combat mechas!” Tang Bai said without hesitation.
Grandpa Tang did not expect that Tang Bai would be interested in space combat mechas. Space combat mechas were an unpopular concept that was just proposed this year. Most people thought that space combat mechas were useless because starships were enough for space operations.
Did the space combat mecha in this holographic game leave an impact on Tang Bai?
“Tangtang, I don’t recommend you choose space combat mechas. I’m not optimistic about space combat mechas. As far as I know, only people from the empire are researching this aspect.”
“Replaceable weapons like space combat mechas have been replaced by them. By investing a lot of energy, the people in the empire are really wasting energy wantonly.”
Grandpa Tang said in a critical tone: “Energy crystals are non-renewable energy. If the empire continues to waste energy crystals without restraint, sooner or later they will face an energy crisis.”
“The space combat mechas in the game look very strong, but they are just the space combat mechas in the game. It would be difficult for us to achieve the level in the game in reality.”
Tang Bai knew that Grandpa Tang definitely wouldn’t agree with it. This was what Grandpa Tang in the book was also like. The Federation as a whole did not pay attention to space combat mechas, which led to the complete defeat of the Zerg when the Federation and the Empire fought.
Tang Bai pulled Grandpa Tang to the corner, and he carefully took out the necklace made of magic silver. “Grandpa, do you remember this necklace?”
“It’s hard to forget.” Grandpa Tang recalled the time the scene of Tang Bai and him talking softly about magic silver as he pouted his lips and sat beside him aggrievedly without saying a word. Wherever he went, Tang Bai moved a small bench to follow him.
Tang Bai rubbed his little hands in embarrassment and whispered: “Actually… I triggered the space-time characteristics of the magic silver.”
Grandpa Tang: “!”
….
Gu Mian sat alone in the bedroom, looking at the divorce agreement Li Songyun had left him.
Li Songyun’s name had been signed on it.
——”Because I want to be Li Songyun, not anyone’s vassal.”
Mo Xiao said to him, Lao Gu, you are finished. Li Songyun didn’t look angry, but heartbroken.
He asked Mo Xiao what heartbreak was, why he was heartbroken, and how he could tell that Li Songyun was heartbroken.
Mo Xiao said in disbelief, isn’t this obvious? When you and Li Songyun quarreled that time, the way Li Songyun looked at you was wrong. Why can’t you feel that you are so stupid?!
Mo Xiao hated iron for not becoming steel[1], and said that his heart is dead. Even if his heart is the same as yours, he cannot feel love and will never love again!
Mo Xiao added, but you have no love for Li Songyun anyway. If you give him the custody of the child and give him more money, it will not be really difficult for you to marry anyone, but it will be difficult for him to remarry with Xiao Feng in the future…
Gu Mian stretched out his hand to cover his left chest. He really didn’t know what love was, and he had never considered this issue. Love was too illusory, and preference was sometimes more like a weakness.
He had received special training from the military and could perfectly hide his preferences, including dietary preferences and interest preferences. In fact, sometimes he felt that this was not the result of deliberate training. He just did not have much interest in various leisure activities.
Ballroom dancing, levitation cars, riding horses and skating…these things were what a noble should do, so he went to complete in them.
Going to the federal military academy, joining the army, and becoming a major general were all major life events arranged by his father, so he went to complete them.
Marrying Li Songyun… was something he did when he reached the age to get married. He took a step-by-step attitude and married this omega whose pheromones were highly matched with his.
He wanted to treat this omega with respect.
But this marriage gradually underwent some changes that frightened him. Due to the attraction of pheromones, he unconsciously paid attention to this omega, eager to possess, care and pamper him.
He hated feeling so out of control, but thankfully he managed to overcome his instincts.
——”A dead heart is just like yours. If you can’t feel love, you won’t love anymore!”
But why does a dead heart still hurt?
Is it because of instinct?
Or is it just a matter of habit?
Gu Mian looked around at the room, which had been cleaned spotlessly but was missing Li Songyun, with a look of confusion on his face.
