Teacher He's house feels quite remote. In the summer, it's like being surrounded by a labyrinth, and the road behind becomes narrower and narrower, making it impossible for the car to drive in.

In the summer, this big chatterbox suddenly felt uneasy. Thinking that it had already been quite bothersome for Teacher He all morning, it was highly likely that asking such simple questions now would disturb his normal life. Therefore, it was best to stop in a timely manner.

Suddenly, she noticed a glance at the dish in He Tu's hand and exclaimed, "Wow, Teacher He, did you cook this yourself? Or are you taking it home for your wife to cook?"

Summer asked cautiously, still harboring a slight hostility towards his senior's presence.

He Tu sighed helplessly and said, "Of course, I burned it myself."

"So, it turns out Teacher He is such a virtuous wife and loving mother?"

He Tu smiled slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

River crab: "Not only is she a virtuous wife and loving mother, she's also the best dad in the world who tirelessly shoulders all responsibilities."

He Tu: "Xiao Xie, I reckon your mouth must be made of honey."

He Tu opened the door, with Xia Tian following closely behind, his face full of nervousness. In his heart, he had rehearsed the words "Auntie, I'm good" countless times.

As he took off his shoes, he secretly glanced inside. Teacher He's house was not considered large, but it was still tidy.

He Tu helplessly shook his head and said to Xia Tian, "He's still staying in his room and refuses to come out."

Xiatian placed the vegetables in Heto's hands onto the table and paced in a circle in his slippers, feeling as though an awkward atmosphere permeated the air.

"Xiatian," He Tu chuckled, "You have a better relationship with my son. Why don't you call him out for dinner? I can't convince him to come out anyway."

"Me?" Summer's face turned extremely disgusted as he pointed to himself with his finger, then looked utterly confused as he said, "Teacher, to be honest, I'm not particularly good at dealing with children..."

"Who are you calling a child?" The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy, and the door with the sign "Do not enter for strangers" suddenly swung open, revealing Qin Ming's handsome and sharp-featured face.

No way, I must be dreaming.

In the summer, regardless of what He Tu was doing, he rushed to the restroom and splashed his face with water to wake himself up.

He must have been mistaken...

But his eyes are 2.0, no problem at all...

Pushing open the door of the toilet, Qin Ming saw that his sweater coat had already been taken off outside, and he was wearing a more casual underwear. However, when he saw the cute and silly bear pattern on it, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. The combination of such a gloomy and punchable face with such a cute sleepy expression truly proves that this contrasting cuteness is not something ordinary people can bear.

Qin Ming couldn't help but curl his lips. It was indeed a blatant contempt in his father's eyes.

"Oh my goodness."

"Oh my god."

He Tu placed down his bowl and said, "Xiatian, you've already said 'tian naluo' twenty times. Can we have a proper conversation?"

Xiatian's eyes widened: "Wait a moment, I still don't know where to begin asking."

Qin Ming said, "Weren't you going out to eat? Why are you back so early?"

He Tu took a sip of the strong liquor, his face slightly flushed. "It was just a few dinner parties. I was driving halfway when I suddenly remembered that there seemed to be no noodles at home, so I cancelled it."

I will buy instant noodles.

"No worries, save it as a midnight snack. Oh, by the way, eat more in the summer." He Tu's sudden concern left someone pleasantly surprised.

Summer finally found the words and immediately started scolding, "Oh my goodness, Qin Ming, you little punk! You've been hiding this from me for so long, and I thought I was your best buddy..."

Qin Ming responded with neither coldness nor indifference, "Is that so?"

It seems like someone has been shamelessly approaching all along.

"You don't know how risky it was for me to come to your house today. I almost lost my life."

He Tu: "Little brother, you're almost out of daisies."

He Shen Bu Dao Tu

Qin Ming: "Xiatian, next time you come, just say you're my friend. It's more effective than saying you're going to call the police."

From a young age, Qin Ming grew up with this group of troublemakers. The strange thing was, their eldest brother, Mingming, who never studied with them, ended up scoring the highest on the city-wide exam and got into high school. That was completely different from the half-hearted effort put in by Xia Tian.

"Fuck, I'm so envious that you have such a good dad like He Lao Shi!"

Qin Ming remained silent.

He Tu only smiled, seemingly without any ulterior motive.

One summer, there was a tinge of melancholy. If only I had a father like that... sigh.

"By the way, where is Auntie? Why isn't she coming over for dinner?"

Qin Ming saw He Tu not speaking, and glanced with his eyes to the side, where there was a memorial tablet.

Xiatian did not expect that Professor He, at such a young age, had already lost his wife. He had thought that the memorial tablet was for the elderly in the family. Now he realized that his question earlier was completely tactless.

He almost wanted to slap himself in the face, just to wake up and sober up.

And then the dinner table did indeed become much quieter. Xia Tian quietly finished her meal and even took the initiative to put on an apron and wash the dishes after the meal.

He Tu raised an eyebrow and said, "Young Master, you can even wash dishes?"

Summer couldn't accept it anymore: "My dad, that old man, always treats me like a slave. Isn't washing dishes just a simple task?"

Watching the two figures busying themselves together in the kitchen, a inexplicable sense of irritation suddenly enveloped their heart.

It's as if they were a family, while he was merely an outsider.

Qin Ming admitted that when he was a child, he did indeed admire this uncle. However, he realized that no one had ever come to pick him up and when he got home, he would see his drunken uncle talking nonsense in front of the ancestral tablets, addressing the person who had long passed away.

He really wanted to say to that man, "Actually, the person I have always been most envious of is my mom. At least someone still remembers her even after she died."

And now, this warm scene felt like a stabbing blow to his eyes.

River Crab: "Report, Qin Ming's corruption value has increased by 30."

"What is the level of corruption?"

In the previous world, the trigger was not activated because the target of conquest did not harbor any resentment. However, the situation is different now. Qin Ming doesn't know why his corruption value suddenly increased by 30. The maximum score is 100, but the progress bar for conquest remains unchanged, still at one-fourth of its position.

He Tuxin knew it in his heart: "Ah, a child lacking love."

He then chuckled and said, "It seems like a happy and fulfilling life is not far away."
