C15 Dad's Gift

"Eh, a television set?" In the corner of the room, Shen Qingtian looked at the old TV that didn't fit in with the rest of the playthings in the house, and was astonished.

Gu Baitian was a bit embarrassed: "I forgot to mention, this TV set was a gift from dad two years ago."

Shen Qingtian shook her head in disbelief as she imagined Gu Baichen's serious and annoying face. "How could that be? Your family isn't short on money, how could the TV from two years ago still be in your room? And you can tell that it won't work. A packet of spicy gluten, it definitely won't light up when plugged into the power screen."

Gu Baitian scratched his head, still feeling embarrassed: "It is indeed not lit. I was curious before why it could produce sounds and pictures, so I found a tool to take it apart. Then, the television set shorted out and I couldn't fix it no matter how hard I tried."

Shen Qingtian was completely shocked. "Little rascal, two years ago, you were only three years old." It was funny to think of a three-year-old dismembering a television set with a tool.

The funniest thing was that Gu Baitian had broken the TV short circuit after breaking it apart, and he even tried to repair it.

Even a professional home appliance repairman would not be able to completely repair such a ruined television set, right?

It's not easy for a child this young to brag.

Shen Qingtian had always been an extrovert, and her expression was basically written all over her face. Gu Baitian looked at her seriously and felt her distrust and jokes. He snorted and pouted, "Auntie, you don't trust me."

Shen Qingtian shook her head. "It's not that I don't believe you, it's that you're too talented. I was completely shocked and was unable to recover from the shock."

The child was easy to coax. Hearing her words, she immediately broke into a smile. "Does that mean that auntie thinks I'm smart too?"

Shen Qingtian was straightforward. "You're the smartest kid I've ever met, not one of them." She could remember the old man's words at the age of one and break the TV set at the age of three. She was the first to disobey when he was said to be unintelligent.

Shen Qingtian's praise made him more elated than anyone else. Gu Baitian thought about it and then walked closer to Shen Qingtian. Auntie, do you want to see how I take down the TV set? "

Shen Qingtian was slightly stupefied. She discovered that even if she was facing a little kid, her IQ was still being challenged. Shaking his head, he said, "No, this TV set is already ruined. Even if you remove it, it will be useless. Don't waste time."

Gu Baitian had a look of disappointment on his face: "But I want to tear it down for Auntie to see and let Auntie praise me."

Shen Qingtian felt that Gu Baitian hadn't given up and treated her as his mother.

But she really had nothing to do with Gu Baichen. However, she had no way to prove her innocence. Furthermore, she really did like this child, so she could not bear to see his dejected look. She could only nod and agree. "Alright, then let aunty see your divine skill."

As soon as Gu Baitian received the order, he immediately went under the bed to fish out the clips, tweezers, wrenches, hammers and other tools. He happily ran in front of the TV.

The corner of Shen Qingtian's mouth twitched. However, before he could make a move, Gu Baichen's cold voice came from the door, "What are you doing in the day?"

Gu Baitian was so scared that he trembled. He hurriedly hid behind Shen Qingtian and said stubbornly, "Dad, I just want Auntie to see my intelligence."

Gu Baichen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. There are a lot of opportunities to prove yourself, and there's not one TV set missing. I'll tell you, if you try to get at the TV again, I'm going to move it away. "

"Don't move, don't move." Gu Baitian immediately stood still and looked anxiously at Shen Qingtian, "Auntie, can you say something for me? I really like this TV set, I can't throw it away."

Shen Qingtian was taken aback. "Are you sure you like TV sets?" No matter how he looked at it, Gu Baitian didn't look like a nice kid who liked TV, but rather like torturing those cold machines.

She did not want to fall into any trap.

Gu Baitian nodded his head fiercely: "I'm sure, I really like TV sets. All the toys in my room are not half as good as the toys on the TV!"

Was it because this was a gift from my father that it was so precious?

If it was such an explanation, she was willing to help. After all, Gu Baitian was a very smart and cute child.

Before Shen Qingtian could say anything, Gu Baitian panicked. He grabbed her arm and said, "Auntie, Auntie, please help me. I don't want to abandon this TV set."

That being said, she was a silly child. Her relationship with Gu Baichen wasn't that good, was he willing to give her face?

Of course, regardless of whether it was sold or not, at least she had tried her best. So he turned around and sincerely looked at Gu Baichen, and begged, "I really like TV during the day, so why not keep it? A TV can't affect a child's intelligence, but it can affect his filial piety and love."

Gu Baichen looked at her without blinking and did not speak. There was an emotion that she could not understand flowing in his eyes.

Shen Qingtian felt slightly awkward. She had a problem with speaking in a fluster and had no idea if he understood what she was saying just now, but if he agreed or disagreed, then at least say it. What was the meaning of looking at her with such a strange expression?

Since Gu Baichen didn't say anything and his expression didn't look right, Shen Qingtian was unsure. Just as she was about to apologize to Gu Baitian, Gu Baichen, who was about to become invisible, slowly opened his mouth and said, "OK."

Shen Qingtian was stunned. "What?" Since Gu Baichen didn't leave a good impression on her before, she naturally categorized him as a strange person who was hard to talk to. Originally, she was prepared to be rejected for a long time, but he agreed unexpectedly, and seemed to be very straightforward about it.

Gu Baichen looked at her quietly, while something that made her feel uncomfortable gushed out of his eyes. Okay, I said. "You know that I am unable to refuse you. Whatever you wish for, as long as I have it, I will give it to you."

These words were so provocative that it touched her heart and made her feel depressed. Shen Qingtian looked a little lost, then she smiled. "I didn't know you were so infatuated. She's so happy."

The familiar words, the familiar tone, the familiar throbbing, it was as if someone had said the same thing to her a long, long time ago.

However, after throbbing, everything was like water passing over a duck's back, leaving not a single trace.

If you really like a person, even if you forget his appearance and his face, the feelings you have for him won't change, right? The fact that she was able to treat him as if nothing had happened, and even some sort of disgust, only meant that she did not have him in her memories, even if it was part of what she had lost five years ago — and even if it was, he was definitely not a deep lover.

At least she wasn't her, wasn't the person he was looking for, and definitely not Gu Baitian's mother.
