Pang Qian held an umbrella and took Gu Mingxi back to his home. When he walked into the Jincai compound, Old Man Zeng saw them and greeted them enthusiastically: "Mingxi is coming to Pangpang's house to pay New Year's greetings?"

Gu Mingxi lowered his head, and Pang Qian smiled and said to Old Man Zeng, "Yes, Grandpa Zeng, Gu Mingxi came to my house for dinner."

When he was going upstairs, Gu Mingxi suddenly stopped moving as he walked. Pang Qian looked back at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

He looked up at her on the steps and whispered: "It's the New Year, it seems inappropriate for me to go to your house like this."

"What's wrong with it?" Pang Qian ran downstairs, pressing his hands against his back and pushed him upstairs, "What are you and my parents who are so polite! Let's go quickly, your clothes are wet."

Facing Gu Mingxi who suddenly arrived, Pang Shuisheng and Jin Aihua were indeed a little surprised, but they quickly calmed down. Pang Shuisheng took Gu Mingxi to the room to change his wet clothes, while Jin Aihua went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for the two children.

Pang Qian didn't eat lunch or dinner, and she was so hungry that she put her chest on her back. She slipped to the kitchen to find something to eat, but was caught by Jin Aihua. She asked her daughter: "What's wrong with Mingxi? Why did she come here with such a big bag? Aren't you still playing at his house at noon?"

Pang Qian was holding a fried chicken fillet in her hand and stutteringly, "His father went to another place temporarily, and his mother... It seemed that there was something going on at home, so she went back to her hometown."

"Why didn't Gu Mingxi go together?"

Pang Qian opened her eyes and said lies: "Flights are expensive."

Jin Aihua actually believed it and asked again: "Why didn't Mingxi go to his grandparents' house?"

"Mom, you don't know that Gu Mingxi's grandparents have never liked him, so he doesn't want to go."

Jin Aihua frowned and asked, "Did you ask him to come to our house?"

Pang Qian hesitated for a moment and nodded: "It's just staying for two or three days. Mom, Gu Mingxi has no place to go, don't be too fierce to him."

Jin Aihua glared with her hips: "When did I get angry with him?"

In the room, Pang Shuisheng helped Gu Mingxi take off one wet clothes one by one, and found that he was soaked from the inside to the outside, and his body was cold. Pang Shuisheng took a towel to help him dry his body and hair, then rummaged through the closet, found a box of new underwear, and said, "Young man put the boxer shorts for the first time."

Gu Mingxi was really embarrassed to reveal his incomplete body in front of Pang Shuisheng and to change his underwear with his help, but at this time he was no longer allowed to suggest that he would wear it pretentiously.

After changing clothes, the two of them walked to the living room. Pang Qian was helping Jin Aihua serve the dishes on the table. Pang Shuisheng patted Gu Mingxi on the back: "You and Qianqian have dinner first, uncles and aunts go inside to watch TV. You eat slowly and eat more food."

"Uncle." Gu Mingxi was very embarrassed, "I'm so disturbing you."

"Silly boy, don't be polite to uncle. Do you know?" Pang Shuisheng rubbed Gu Mingxi's head, pressed his shoulder and let him sit down at the dining table, and said to Pang Qian, "Qianqian, give Mingxi rice and bring chopsticks!"

Pang Shuisheng and Jin Aihua entered the house and brought the door. Only Pang Qian and Gu Mingxi were left in the living room.

Pang Qian had a lot of experience with Gu Mingxi to eat with her table. Her table was normal height, and Gu Mingxi could barely eat with her feet. Pang Qian carefully helped him pick up food and serve soup. He lowered his head and slapped the rice into his mouth. He was obviously very hungry. After a bowl, Pang Qian went to add another bowl for him, and Gu Mingxi's meal speed slowed down. Pang Qian picked up chopsticks into his bowl and fryed beef. Gu Mingxi looked up at her and asked, "Why did you tell your parents?"

Pang Qian said again what he said to Jin Aihua, and Gu Mingxi nodded: "Well, thank you."

Pang Qian asked in a low voice: "Why are your parents like this now?"

"Did you hear it all at my house in the morning?" Gu Mingxi held chopsticks on his toes and slowly plucked the dishes in the bowl. "They had quarreled before, but they were not as good as today. Before... I didn't hear it clearly, but I knew that my father had other women outside."

Pang Qian opened her eyes wide: "Ah?"

"Well, my mother came to ask me a few days ago, who would I be willing to go with if they divorced."

Such news was too intense for Pang Qian. After all, in her eyes, Gu Guoxiang and Li Han were always loving and respectful to each other. She never thought that Gu Mingxi's family had reached the verge of falling apart like this. She asked: "What do you say?"

"I didn't know how serious they were. I said I didn't know, and I also said, I don't want you to divorce." Gu Mingxi's eyes were lowered, and his slender eyelashes blinked slowly. "My mother must have feelings for my father, and my father is thinking...I think... he still likes my mother. Just..." He raised his right shoulder and showed Pang Qian his hanging sleeves, "It's just that I don't have arms. He wants a healthy child too much."

"But, but..." Pang Qian felt anxious inexplicably, "You are already very awesome. If you have such good grades, you will definitely be able to get into a very good university in the future. You can also draw and speak great English, and you can all do translation."

"So what?" Gu Mingxi smiled bitterly, "My father read the news last time, which means that many people want to hold a thank-you banquet for their children at home. After reading the news, my father told me that he would not be able to serve as a wine if he was admitted to college in the future."

Pang Qian was stunned.

Gu Mingxi: "He also said that in the future, unless I get married, he would not invite his friends to have a wedding banquet unless I wear a prosthetic limb. Once, he drank too much and even said that he himself was unwilling to attend my wedding because he did not want to face the various opinions and criticisms of the relatives of the bride."

Pang Qian gritted her teeth tightly, Gu Mingxi sighed and said, "Sometimes I am almost confused by my father. Pang Pang, I would also think, I don't have arms, are you really so inferior and embarrassed? When I go out, my father will leave very far away from me, as if I am afraid that others will know that I am a father-son relationship with him."

"No!" Pang Qian was really anxious, "Gu Mingxi, don't think too much. Look, your mother never feels that way. My parents have never felt that way, and I have also! I am really true! I have never been! I have never thought anything special about you."

She looked anxious and used three "real" and three "never" to emphasize her tone. It made Gu Mingxi laugh out loud. His eyes were shiny, the corners of his mouth were bent into a very beautiful curve, and his two tiger teeth were faintly visible. He smiled and said, "I know, eat it quickly. After I finish eating, I still have to do my winter vacation homework."

This topic jumped too fast, and Pang Qian was stunned for a moment: "Han, winter vacation homework?"

"Well, I've brought it." Gu Mingxi said seriously, "School is going to be in the bottom test again. Don't you want to get the last one again, right?"

Pang Qian was about to kneel down for him: "Bao, don't curse me during the New Year!"

After dinner, Pang Qian took the initiative to wash dishes. Pang Shuisheng called Gu Mingxi to take a shower and assigned him how to sleep at night. Although Pang Shuisheng's house has three bedrooms, one room has become a storage room, full of Pang Shuisheng's work tools, and there is no way to live in it. Moreover, there is no sofa in the small room. Pang Shuisheng asked Gu Mingxi to sleep in Pang Qian's bed at night, and asked Pang Qian to go to the master bedroom to play the floor.

Before Pang Qian could express her opinion, Gu Mingxi had already firmly disagreed.

He said in one sentence: "Pang Qian is a girl, I am a man, I'm a floor shop."

Pang Shuisheng was very embarrassed: "Then where are you working on the floor? The living room path is the only way to go to the toilet. If you sleep, others will not be able to walk through it."

Gu Mingxi knew that this was the truth and suddenly lost his mind. Pang Shuisheng said that he would let Jin Aihua go to sleep with Pang Qian, and he and Gu Mingxi slept. Pang Qian disagreed: "I don't want it! My bed is so small! My mother is so fat again!"

After some discussion, Pang Qian said indifferently: "Let Gu Mingxi get the floor shop in my room. We slept in the same room we went to Shanghai last time, and it was nothing."

Pang Shuisheng looked at Jin Aihua. Jin Aihua was full of unhappiness, but thinking about Gu Mingxi's personality and temper, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

After a while, Pang Shuisheng and Jin Aihua helped Gu Mingxi lay the floor beside Pang Qian's bed, two thick cotton beds made of mattresses, covered with down quilts and a blanket. After they were finished, they went back to the room.

Gu Mingxi was taking a shower and Pang Qian was tidying up his backpack. She was so impressed by him that she was so impressed. Gu Mingxi carefully wrapped all the winter vacation homework in a plastic bag, and was not wet by the rain at all, but the laundry changes he brought were all soaked.

"Fool." Pang Qian carried the wet clothes into the basin one by one, took them to the washing machine, and prepared to ask her mother to wash together the next day. At this time, she heard some strange sounds coming from the bathroom.

Pang Qian walked over and saw that the bathroom door was open. Gu Mingxi had already finished taking a shower. He was still wearing Pang Shuisheng's pajamas, standing on his left leg, and lifted his right foot to wash clothes in the washbasin. He was holding a large transparent soap on his toes, and was soaking the underwear he had changed. Because the transparent soap was big and slippery, his toes could not be clamped and often fell into the basin.

His body swayed slightly, his sleeves swayed constantly. When he turned his head to see Pang Qian, Gu Mingxi smiled embarrassedly: "You are here just right, Pang Pang, can you help me get a chair? I can wash clothes in the basin when I sit."

Pang Qian said: "Don't wash it, my mother will wash it with the washing machine tomorrow."

Gu Mingxi said: "I don't wash the outer garments, so I can't wash them, but I want to wash my underwear by myself..."

Seeing him like that, Pang Qian looked at the clock on the wall again, it was past nine o'clock.

"When you finish washing, do your homework? Don't tease it." Pang Qian rolled up her sleeves, "Just set of cotton sweaters, a pair of socks, and a pair of shorts, right? Hey, go away, let's wash it for you."

Gu Mingxi was not willing to agree: "No, just help me get a chair, I can wash it myself."

"You are so annoying!" Pang Qian pulled a towel to help him dry his right foot, and savagely carried his right leg down the ground. Gu Mingxi almost stood firm, jumped twice with his left foot, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Pang Qian!"

"This is my home, I have the final say!" Pang Qian pushed Gu Mingxi out of the bathroom, "You go to my room first. I come over after washing. You said you were afraid. I didn't write a lot of homework myself."

Gu Mingxi stood still.

Pang Qian turned around and glared at him: "Will you go! Don't you go? Believe it or not, I will call my mother to wash your underwear!"

Gu Mingxi turned around and ran away.

Pang Qian used to rarely do housework. Before high school, she almost didn't touch her fingers, and even her underwear was washed by Jin Aihua. However, after her parents' work adjustments a few months ago, she became much more diligent and washed her close-fitting clothes by herself. Jin Aihua told Pang Shuisheng privately that Qianqian has grown up and has become much more sensible.

Pang Qian stood by the washbasin to help Gu Mingxi wash clothes. They were all his close-fitting clothes, and she didn't think it was anything special. At this time, Pang Shuisheng walked out of the room with his coat. When passing by the bathroom, the father and daughter looked at each other. Pang Shuisheng raised his cell phone and said softly: "I'll go outside to smoke a cigarette and call Mingxi's father by the way."

"Dad!" Pang Qian ignored the soap bubbles in her hands and grabbed his arm and whispered, "Just report your safety to Uncle Gu, don't say anything else."

Pang Shuisheng looked at his daughter calmly and asked hesitantly: "Did you know something?"

Pang Qian bit her lip and said, "I went to Gu Mingxi's house today. I heard that Uncle Gu and Aunt Ahan had a quarrel. The quarrel was very strong, so Gu Mingxi came to our house. Dad, Uncle Gu... He seemed to have an affair. Aunt Ahan was very sad. Gu Mingxi told me not to tell you, but..."

As a friend of Gu Guoxiang's private life, Pang Shuisheng, as his friend since childhood, was a colleague from a factory before, was a little clear about it. It is a fact that everyone knows about Gu Guoxiang's desire to have another child, but it is difficult for Li Han to get pregnant again. Therefore, some people in the factory also said privately that Gu Guoxiang and Li Han were probably going to divorce.

Pang Shuisheng could not agree with this, but he was an outsider after all, and he felt wronged for Gu Mingxi. It was not his fault for such a good boy, but he had to bear the worst result.

Pang Shuisheng's expression gradually became softer. He touched his daughter's head and said, "You did nothing wrong. You should tell your parents. Don't worry, Dad will go and report your safety to Mingxi's father today. Let's talk about other things when the couple comes back."

Pang Qian nodded.

Pang Shuisheng said again: "You have a holiday these days, spend more time with Mingxi, don't bully him anymore, do you know?"

Pang Qian pouted: "How could I bully him? I'm still helping him wash clothes."

Pang Shuisheng looked at the clothes in the washbasin and sighed: "You should help him more. If it weren't for Mingxi, how could you get into the high school entrance exam?"

Pang Qian nodded obediently again. Pang Shuisheng was about to leave when he came back: "However, Mingxi can't help with the toilet. If he needs it, let him come to me. You are both big girls and big guys. You should avoid suspicion in this kind of thing."

He didn't say it, but after saying that, Pang Qian remembered the scene he saw in the public bathroom of the Shanghai Comic Exhibition that summer vacation... Pang Shuisheng walked out of the house, and when Pang Qian picked up Gu Mingxi's underwear and scrubbed it, she was in a bad mood.

When Pang Qian returned to the room, Gu Mingxi had already done his homework for a long time.

He turned on the ceiling lights in the room and sat on the floor on the floor. His homework book was spread out on the floor beside the bunk. His toes were bent over and written non-stop. There were a few sheets of draft paper at his feet, which were covered with various figures and formulas. Pang Qian had lived a comfortable winter vacation life for more than ten days, and seeing him working hard like this, a sense of urgency arises naturally.

"What are you doing?" She sat down next to Gu Mingxi, poked her head to look at his notebook. Gu Mingxi turned her head to look at her. Pang Qian took a shower, her long hair was wet and scattered on her shoulders, her face was flushed, and she had a faint smell of shampoo. Gu Mingxi suddenly felt that it was a bad idea to work on the floor in her room. Her little thoughts were ready to move, but she wanted to suppress them desperately. It was really fatal.

His toes couldn't help but hooked up, his insteps stretched straight, and pushed the homework book in front of Pang Qian, saying, "I have found a number study questionnaire by myself, and I have to do a set of papers every night."

Pang Qian picked up the notebook and looked at it: "Is it difficult?"

"It's probably a bit difficult for you."

Pang Qian looked at him with a stinky face and pushed him: "Show off!"

Gu Mingxi was unhappy: "Where am I showing off again?"

"You show off that you are smarter than me!"

"I just spent more time than you." Gu Mingxi smiled, "You are actually very smart."

Pang Qian was happy: "Hehe, you finally found out."

Gu Mingxi turned his head and said very gently: "But sometimes, it's still a little slow."

Pang Qian took the book and slapped it on his head: "You are so slow!"

It was already very late. Pang Qian really didn't want to do her homework anymore. She was lying on the bed with a romance novel, and Gu Mingxi was still doing the test papers on the floor. However, it was difficult for him to concentrate as much as he usually did, because Pang Qian on the bed would make him a little noise from time to time.

She would laugh when reading novels, "Gee" and "Hahaha" laughter were simply testing Gu Mingxi's nerves. Gu Mingxi gritted his teeth and endured it.

Pang Qian also ate food, and the crumbs were bitten happily. From time to time, she came to Gu Mingxi to ask: "Hey Gu Mingxi, do you want to eat? I'll feed you." The crumbs were so dry that she drank Coke again. She drank the cold Coke and drank it. She burped loudly: "Ha... it feels so good!"

Gu Mingxi is covered in black thread, so bear it!

That's not all. Pang Qian was still rolling around and rolling around on the bed. The most overwhelming thing was that she would stretch her legs and kick Gu Mingxi on the back. It was also a sudden attack, which scared Gu Mingxi. Once she used too much force and almost kicked him over.

When he kicked him, Pang Qian would scream: "Foshan's shadowless feet!"

Gu Mingxi's test was only half done, but he gave up completely.

Pang Qian sat on the bed holding the pot crust, watching Gu Mingxi finishing the bedding with her dark face and using her feet, and asked, "Don't you do the questions?"

"Um."
Chapter completed!
