The word "Dad" sounded particularly unreal to Gao Yuchuan's ears.
He looked at the innocent CiCi in front of him and felt stiff for a moment, not knowing what to respond to.
BOBO was also startled. He stretched out his little hand to tug on CiCi's clothes to remind her that it was inappropriate to call her that way.
But Gao Yuchuan himself was tall, with broad shoulders and a broad body, and the shadow cast by him cast a shadow over both of them. How could Bobo dare to mention it?
Just as BOBO was struggling, CiCi suddenly curled her lips, looked at Gao Yuchuan and muttered softly: "You said last time that you would be our dad from now on, but you didn't agree when I called you dad."
CiCi's words were full of grievance, her big eyes blinked, and she reluctantly let go of Gao Yuchuan's leg.
Just when she turned around to return to Shen Yaochu, Gao Yuchuan suddenly bent down and picked up CiCi.
CiCi was startled by the sudden increase in height and quickly hugged Gao Yuchuan's neck.
Gao Yuchuan's Adam's apple slid up and down, and he said softly: "Promise."
CiCi smiled and rubbed Gao Yuchuan's face with her soft little face, hugging his neck and not letting go.
Feeling the small soft body in his arms, exuding the unique milky fragrance of children, Gao Yuchuan was obviously a little nervous.
At first, he just thought that CiCi recognized the wrong person.
But CiCi's reaction was that she obviously recognized him as Gao Yuchuan.
The wonderful feeling of being called "Dad" by a child filled Gao Yuchuan's heart, and it actually gave him a strange emotion, and even the beating frequency of his heart accelerated.
Gao Yuchuan looked down and saw BOBO looking up at him.
BOBO's expression was as calm as ever. He stared at Gao Yuchuan and CiCi in his arms, with a trace of envy in his eyes.
Gao Yuchuan curled his lips, bent down and hugged BOBO as well.
He glanced at BOBO: "Why don't you scream?"
BOBO: "..."
Gao Yuchuan curled his lips, said nothing, and strode home with his two children in his arms.
After taking two steps, Gao Yuchuan suddenly stopped and looked back at Shen Yaochu.
Shen Yaochu's face was full of astonishment and disbelief. Her eyebrows were raised, her almond-shaped eyes were widened, and her glossy lips were slightly open.
Gao Yuchuan raised his eyebrows: "What? You have to carry her home."
"..." Shen Yaochu was helpless and could only follow up.
Seeing Gao Yuchuan holding the two children, and remembering that CiCi had just unexpectedly called Gao Yuchuan "daddy", Shen Yaochu felt that all of this was a bit unreal.
If Gao Yuchuan could believe that the two children were really his...
"Mommy, let's go! Keep up, you're falling behind!"
CiCi's clear voice interrupted Shen Yaochu's thoughts.
Shen Yaochu regained her composure: "Here we come."
…
As the sun sets, the sky is dyed deep orange, like the juice released from a huge orange after being squeezed, spreading all over the sky. The sun is like a huge hot air balloon, slowly drifting into the distance and gradually becoming blurry.
The journey home is not far, but it seems very long.
Gao Yuchuan held BOBO and CiCi tightly. The two children smiled happily in his arms and waved their little hands as if they were playing with the sun in the sky.
Shen Yaochu walked beside them. Faintly, she actually enjoyed this warm moment.
Under the setting sun, their shadows stretched long, like a beautiful picture.
BOBO and CiCi excitedly talked about what happened to them in school.
"Momo cried again today. She sat next to her and cried, but the teacher couldn't coax her." CiCi smiled proudly: "My brother and I are very strong and we never cried in kindergarten!"
"Really?" Gao Yuchuan asked, "Never?"
"Yeah!" CiCi said with a smile, "My brother and I are reasonable kids."
"..."
BOBO and CiCi were chattering. When they got back to the door, the sunset had slowly set, leaving only a golden afterglow.
Gao Yuchuan carried the children into his home, and Aunt Li just put dinner on the table.
Seeing Gao Yuchuan holding the child to wash his hands, Aunt Li's eyes shone with relief.
"Madam, Master Yuchuan is very good to the children. For the sake of your children and this family, you must eat well and take care of your health."
Shen Yaochu was startled and nodded: "Thank you."

————
Late at night.
Shen Yaochu put the two children to sleep, quickly walked through the living room and walked to the bedroom.
She wanted to go back to the bedroom to sleep while Gao Yuchuan was still working in the study.
Walking back to the room, you will pass by the study room where Gao Yuchuan stayed. No matter how gentle Shen Yaochu's steps and movements were, he still alarmed Gao Yuchuan.
As soon as Shen Yaochu walked into the room, Gao Yuchuan followed him.
Shen Yaochu raised her eyes to look at him. Under the dim light, she could not see Gao Yuchuan's expression clearly, so she did not dare to speak first.
Gao Yuchuan walked to her side: "Asleep?"
Shen Yaochu knew he was talking about BOBO and CiCi: "Yeah."
"So late?" He raised his wrist and glanced at his watch: "The clock has already turned."
"Yes." Shen Yaochu said helplessly: "They were both so excited today that they couldn't stop talking and refused to sleep."
"Then what?"
Gao Yuchuan's expression did not change, but I wonder if Shen Yaochu was dazzled and misunderstood. The curvature of his lips was not as gentle as Gao Yuchuan's.
Shen Yaochu said casually: "Then I was suppressed by semi-force. Otherwise, if I can't get up tomorrow, I will make trouble and refuse to go to school again."
Gao Yuchuan chuckled lightly, raised his hand and touched Shen Yaochu's hair: "Thank you for your hard work."
His words made Shen Yaochu startled, and then she realized that the conversation between the two did not seem to be what they should say in their current state.
Instead, like a normal couple, they chatted about interesting things about their children.
Because of this sudden and inexplicably warm atmosphere, Shen Yaochu's expression felt a little unnatural for a moment.
She cleared her throat and changed the subject: "Are you finished with work?"
"No." Although Gao Yuchuan said this, he still unbuttoned his shirt.
Shen Yaochu was puzzled: "Then do you mean you want to sleep?"
"Well, no more work." He took off his shirt, threw it to the ground, and reached out to unbuckle his belt: "Do something else."
"..." Shen Yaochu was looking at him, but when he heard this, he quickly looked away, pretending not to understand what Shen Yaochu meant.
Gao Yuchuan leaned forward, pulled Shen Yaochu up from the bed, and put her into his arms.
He turned over, and their positions changed. She sat astride him, and she could feel Gao Yuchuan's next plan almost instantly.
Shen Yaochu frowned and raised her hands to push him, but her body was tightly held in Gao Yuchuan's arms.
The next second, his deep magnetic voice came from my ears.
"Shen Yaochu, give me a child."
