Chapter 123: Missing One Person

Xia Sheng and Yue Qin still needed to treat some aunts to dinner as a courtesy.

Mr. Kang looked at the aunts. He remembered that Xia Sheng didn't like the ideas they were instilling in Little Kangkang. So he whispered to Little Kangkang, "I want to stay here for a bit. I asked the farm to send me a video. They said your second and third brothers are trying to catch sheep. They filmed a video for over ten minutes."

Little Kangkang was immediately interested. "Did they catch the sheep?"

"I don't know. We have to watch the video to find out."

"But Mom said we're going to have dinner with the aunts later."

"We can stay here with Grandma." Mr. Kang said.

On the other side of the ward, the adults were discussing where to eat. The nurse said that Li Zhaodi couldn't go out for now, so Li Zhaodi told them to go out and eat.

The caregiver Li Zhaodi hired also came over.

Little Kangkang looked over there.

Mr. Kang continued to persuade him, "Anyway, the adults are going to talk. How about we stay here and watch the video?"

Little Kangkang actually wanted to go, but then the aunts looked over enthusiastically. Little Kangkang immediately asked his brother to pick him up.

"We're watching videos here." Little Kangkang said, trying to sound calm.

Mr. Kang was amused. It turned out that even the fearless Little Kangkang had things he was afraid of.

Yue Qin called them to go to dinner together. Mr. Kang immediately said, "We already ate dinner after school."

When Little Kangkang heard this, he patted his forehead with his little hand and closed his eyes. He lied again.

"What did you have for dinner?" Yue Qin was a little surprised.

Mr. Kang didn't expect the other party to ask again. He was stuck for a moment. Countless dishes flashed through his mind, but he couldn't say any of their names.

Little Kangkang saw that his brother didn't know what to say, so he said, "We had flatbread for dinner, with beef and noodles in it."

As Little Kangkang spoke, he touched his belly. "We're so full, we don't want to eat anymore."

Lying was a serious problem among kindergarten children. When he was Little Parrot's teacher, he knew a lot of children's lying secrets.

Mr. Kang watched Little Kangkang lie so skillfully and felt deeply guilty. He really had to change his habit of talking nonsense.

Yue Qin also felt that Big Kangkang and Little Kangkang were not suitable for this kind of family gathering, so he agreed to let them stay and accompany Kangkang's grandmother.

As soon as they left, the entire ward became empty. Grandma lay on the hospital bed and ordered the caregiver to pour hot water.

Mr. Kang was still sitting in the corner with the children. He opened his phone and found the video the farm owner had sent him.

He had watched it many times himself, the dark history of the owl and the eagle.

If this was posted online, it would definitely become a hot search. He told the farm owner to keep it a secret.

After all, it was good to laugh about it in private. There was no need to post it online and let everyone laugh at them.

Everyone had their dignity.

The video started with a series of miserable cries—

"Baa baa baa—"

Several people on the farm were running with flashlights in the direction of the sound—

"Over there, over there!"

"Hurry up and film it, what is that thing?"

"It looks like an eagle? Why is it a little small?"

In the video, a sheep was bleating non-stop, its leg grabbed by something black. The black thing was flapping its wings non-stop, but because the sheep was too heavy, it couldn't lift it up.

When the camera zoomed in, they saw that the sheep's hind leg was being grabbed by an eagle, and its front leg was being grabbed by an owl. Both of them were flapping their wings as if trying to lift it up.

However, there was only the bleating of the sheep and the flapping of wings in the air—

The scene became incredibly funny.

"What are you watching?" Li Zhaodi suddenly asked.

Mr. Kang thought for a moment. Now that the other party and Xia Sheng had reconciled, they were no longer enemies. So he took the phone over and let her watch it together.

Li Zhaodi didn't find it funny at all. Instead, she asked him, "Are you Yue Qin's former boss?"

Mr. Kang originally thought that these middle-aged people didn't recognize him, because people their age didn't really use the internet much. He didn't expect to be recognized.

So Mr. Kang repeated the same story he told Teacher Liu.

After listening, Li Zhaodi didn't say whether she believed it or not, nor did she ask about it.

Mr. Kang became curious about this person. He was curious how Xia Sheng and her mother reconciled.

After all, the two of them used to be like fire and water.

He also wanted to see if he should give his relatives a chance.

Yue Qin and Xia Sheng gave him a chance.

Li Zhaodi's thought about this young man's question was that he must be sick. Otherwise, why would anyone ask such a question—

"Excuse me for asking, but your relationship with your daughter used to be so bad. Did you suddenly reconcile because you hit your head?"

Li Zhaodi originally wanted to say no, but considering that this answer would require a lot of explanation, she simply said, "Yes."

Mr. Kang understood. So, it was because he had been in a car accident before, so there was no change in his relationship with his relatives.

Mr. Kang looked at the aunt in front of him and felt that although the relatives in his family were lively and energetic, if they were to take a fall like that, they would probably die.

Little Kangkang watched the video for a while and fell asleep. When he was Little Parrot, he was used to sleeping in his brother's hood.

Now, sleepy, he rubbed his eyes and asked his brother to carry him.

Big Kangkang picked him up, and Little Kangkang fell asleep immediately.

It was the same in the past. When he was a little parrot, as soon as he wanted to sleep, he would fly over and fall asleep in his hand.

And he still thought he was the older brother every day.

Li Zhaodi watched for a while and suddenly said, "You said all those things about them before, how did you make up?"

Mr. Kang, a tough man, looked up, being asked the exact same question.

He suddenly realized… he was not only similar in personality to Xia Sheng, but also to this person.

"I…" Mr. Kang frowned. He couldn't just say that he had been someone else's son for a few months and they had discovered his inner kindness and cuteness, could he?

Li Zhaodi's eyes sharpened. "I looked you up online. You have a ton of girlfriends."

Mr. Kang: "…" So the story he made up for Teacher Liu was useless.

Mr. Kang was also a little unhappy. "You're Little Kangkang's grandmother, not mine. You can't control me."

Li Zhaodi: "Don't even think about destroying their family. Xia Sheng has hated unambitious boys like you since she was a child."

Mr. Kang was really scared of this, so he quickly said, "No, no, I'm really their relative."

Li Zhaodi frowned and said nothing.

Mr. Kang was not a people person himself, so he silently remained silent.

But his scalp was still tingling.

No, he couldn't bear this alone.

In the evening, when the family went home, Mr. Kang did not hesitate to tell the other two about this. He was greeted by the awkward expressions of the other two at the same time—

"How can you even think that!" Xia Sheng's scalp tingled, and she got goosebumps all over!

Yue Qin was also startled. He suddenly realized that this was an adult now. It was really strange that he was always at their house.

Actually… twenty-one days was enough to form a habit, let alone a few months. They lived together, and Yue Qin originally thought that the other party was an orphan with no father or mother. He also invested a lot of effort in him and paid attention to his growth.

Later, when this big child came back, everyone was awkward at first, but soon Big Kangkang entered his original role. Almost inertially, Yue Qin naturally entered the original mode of getting along.

He didn't even realize that the other party was a real adult.

"Hey, don't look at me like that. I was scared too." Mr. Kang regretted telling them everything.

When the relationship was too good, secrets couldn't be kept.

Mr. Kang actually regretted it the moment he said it, because this question was really embarrassing.

Mr. Kang quickly came up with a solution. "It's all my fault for being such a playboy in the past. We need to get our stories straight now. I'm your cousin. I've already come up with a complete story. I guarantee there won't be any more creepy talk like that."

Xia Sheng said with a tingling scalp, "Son, you're all grown up now. You should go out and make your own way in the world."

Mr. Kang: "If you're going to be like this, I'm going to go to the art center every day and send you roses…"

As soon as Mr. Kang finished speaking, the three of them shivered at the same time, goosebumps appearing on their backs. They all had the same expression.

"This topic is forbidden from now on."

"That's terrifying."

"That's inhumane."

Mr. Kang then explained himself. "You have to see my growth in this. The fact that I can even tell you this shows the strength of our friendship!"

Xia Sheng: "Are you sure it's not because you were disgusted and wanted to disgust us too?"

Mr. Kang: "…" "Only a small part of the reason is that."

Mr. Kang defended himself. "Ignoring that small part, I've really grown up and matured now. If it were before, you told me to go out and make my own way, I would definitely feel hurt and lose my temper, and I wouldn't come back."

Xia Sheng: "…" She actually felt that what he said made sense. She had a feeling that he was more mature than she was now.

However, the next day, the grown-up and mature Mr. Kang did not come for a free meal.

"I'm too busy today. I have a meeting."

The third day—

"I have to go on a business trip. I might not be back for a few days."

And every time, he was very perfunctory.

He didn't come for dinner for a whole week. The unspoken rule of adult relationships was to cut off contact, right?

Xia Sheng looked at the unfinished takeout and sighed—

It took some getting used to not having someone with a big appetite at home.

Xia Sheng looked at her husband. She was terrible at handling this kind of thing.

Yue Qin was also very conflicted. He was only 28 years old this year, his son was only 4 years old, and the other special child, in his mind, was only 6 years old.

But in reality, he already had to deal with the problem of getting along with his grown-up son. This was actually also a blind spot in his knowledge. "I don't have any experience getting along with such an old child either."

"Didn't you get along very well with your father?"

"Think about my relationship with my dad when I was 24…" Yue Qin said with a complicated expression.

Xia Sheng thought back. Twenty-four years old? They were already married then. Yue Qin's father asked him if he wanted to go back, but Yue Qin felt that the city was more suitable for them and refused. Yue Qin's parents didn't say anything more, only that they would send them kimchi in the winter.

They stayed in this city, and Yue Qin's parents were in the northeast. They only went back once during the New Year and holidays. His parents were quite happy and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Yue Qin realized that Kang was an adult, and he also realized that he seemed to have treated the other party as a child.

This did not conform to their family's values.

Yue Qin had been taught since he was a child that children grow up little by little, and their autonomy should be given to them little by little—

When they were young, they could choose what to wear, what to eat, and who to be friends with. Then, slowly, they could choose when to study, when to go out and play, and where to go. When they became adults, they could choose their own path, and the elders could not interfere—

Now that the other party was an adult and had his own life plan, he should not interfere too much and should respect the other party's choice.

Moreover, during this period of time, they had actually become somewhat inseparable from this grown-up child.

Actually, that wasn't quite right either.

Xia Sheng thought for a moment and asked, "Where's Master? Why don't we ask him to come over for dinner?"

She felt like the house was missing someone who ate with gusto.

It was very unusual.
