Chapter 86 Seen through!

"Why hasn't that boy come back yet?"

Father Gu had a cigarette in his mouth and was sitting on the sofa bored. He looked at Mother Gu who was busy in the kitchen, touched his hungry belly and complained.

"What's wrong? It's only 05:30. It's just lunch time. Why are you in a hurry?"

Gu's mother poked her head out of the kitchen and saw someone puffing away on the sofa. She immediately became furious:

"Smoking again?! Which one is yours today! I asked you to quit smoking, did you quit? Huh?"

"Uh...the fifth one..."

Father Gu replied hesitantly with his eyes averted.

"It's already the fifth one?!"

Sure enough, Mother Gu's roar came from the kitchen.

When he heard his tigress getting angry, Father Gu shuddered so hard that the cigarette he held on his fingers almost dropped to the ground.

He cautiously replied:

"It's late. I won't smoke at night. Isn't it because my son doesn't like the smell of cigarettes, so I just want to relieve his addiction. I won't smoke when he comes back."

What a high-sounding reason, even Father Gu himself almost believed it.

But Gu Qiu really didn't like the smell of cigarettes. Every time he was at home with him, as soon as he saw himself picking up a cigarette, he would reach out and pinch it out.

"When this vacation is over, I will make up my mind to quit smoking."

Father Gu took a deep breath from the cigarette, then slowly exhaled the mist, and then pressed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray covered with wet wipes in front of him: "It's not good to keep smoking. It not only hurts the body, but also costs money." I have a lot of money and would have wanted to quit a long time ago, if it weren’t for socializing.”

Listening to Father Gu's chatter in the living room again, Mother Gu was too lazy to talk. Father Gu had mentioned this matter of quitting smoking countless times, and every time there were various excuses to make the plan abort. In the middle, the business failed half way through.

As early as Gu Qiu's sophomore year in high school, Gu's father had already started saying that he wanted to quit smoking.

My son is about to take the college entrance examination, so he can't let his smoking affect his health.
The result is that I haven’t quit yet, although the number of cigarettes I smoked in a day has decreased.

Gu's mother was about to interrupt Father Gu's musings in the living room, but she keenly heard the sound of keys clanking from the entrance door to the kitchen.

She picked up the hand towel next to her and wiped her hands before coming to the door.

Before he could open the door, Gu Qiu had already opened the door with the key.

"Uh mom?"

Gu Qiu opened the door and saw his mother standing at the door wearing an apron. She was slightly startled, then walked into the house and took off her shoes: "What are you doing standing at the door? You scared me."

"Aren't you trying to open the door for you?"

Seeing her son back, Gu's mother immediately had a smile on her face, and she was full of joy.

After putting on his slippers and walking a few steps into the house, Gu Qiu suddenly frowned and looked at Father Gu on the sofa.

"Dad, are you smoking at home again?"

"It's just one. I'll just open the window to diffuse the smell later."

Father Gu picked up the thermos cup on the table, took a sip of tea, and watched his son collapse on the sofa.

After resting half-ly on the sofa for a while, Gu Qiu took out her mobile phone and looked at the message Su Jiuyue had sent to her that she had arrived home. There was also a picture attached to it. She changed into pajamas and lay down. A charming selfie on the sofa.

Okay, okay, it doesn’t look like he’s following.

Gu Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and saw that his father's eyes seemed to be glancing towards him. He quickly replied and turned off the screen.

"Why did you come back alone?"

Father Gu looked at his son beside him, his tone sounded a little disappointed.

Sure enough, my father started again.

When I was a child, I was in charge of my studies and forbidden early love. When I was in college, I started asking why I didn’t have a girlfriend yet. Some families would urge me to take the public examination after graduation, and then they would have children after I had a lover.

Gu Qiu felt that one's life seemed to be spent in a rush.

But in a sense, it's understandable.

"Then he must have come back by himself~ Otherwise, who else could he have come back with?" Gu Qiu pretended to be dumbfounded and said, picking up a raisin from the coffee table and throwing it into his mouth.

"You can't go on like this. Uncle Wang's son next door is this year."

"Okay, I know."

I don’t know how many times my father has said this to me.

Gu Qiu felt as if his ears were about to grow calluses. As far as he knew, Uncle Wang's son next door would come back with his girlfriend every year, but it was different every year.

The father and son on the sofa were talking to each other. After a while, Gu's mother in the kitchen urged him to come to the table to eat.

"The food at home still tastes better. Although the food outside is delicious, it doesn't have this familiar taste."

Gu Qiu took a few mouthfuls of rice and couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, he could not eat the food cooked by his mother several times a year. After taking this bite, a taste of nostalgia spread in his mouth.

My parents spend too little time at home. It has been several months since the whole family got together like this, not three or four times a year.

"Aqiu, how are you getting along with the girl on the phone before?"

At the dinner table, Gu's mother glanced at her son and asked intentionally or unintentionally.

She remembered the scene where she saw Gu Qiu having close contact with a girl who looked very good at the window of the hotel.

Until now, Aqiu is still hiding it from them.

Mother Gu squinted her eyes and observed her son's expression across from her.

Gu Qiu's face froze. He didn't expect that his mother would suddenly mention Su Jiuyue, who had appeared once before, at this time, and he was quickly searching for coping strategies in his mind.

"Yes, Aqiu, where is the girl who went out with you before?"

Father Gu couldn't help but gossiped on the sidelines.

Facing the two elders singing and singing, Gu Qiu casually prevaricates:

"Friends, I said they are friends..."

"friend?"

Hearing this, Gu's mother sneered.

"What kind of friends of the opposite sex would put their arms around each other and hold hands? I stood upstairs and watched for a long time that day. Do you really think your mother doesn't know anything? Otherwise, how can you control your father?"

"Wife?! Why didn't you tell me this??"

Father Gu's pupils shrank when he heard this incredible breaking news, but after listening to Mother Gu's words, his expression turned a little embarrassed:
"Actually, I feel like the last sentence is unnecessary..."

"Explain it, my good son."

Gu's mother happened to finish her meal. She put down her chopsticks with her backhand, folded her hands across her chest, and crossed her legs, showing her full force and the demeanor of a queen.

It can be seen from her movements and demeanor that she was also a beauty when she was young.

Facing the strong pressure from his mother, Gu Qiu swallowed, and cold sweat slowly oozed from his palms.

Damn it, it seems like I can’t deal with it...

His eyes were wandering, and he didn't know what kind of explanation could help him escape this disaster.

Just as Gu Qiu's CPU was running rapidly and he was trying his best to find a response strategy, his phone on the dining table suddenly vibrated.

Someone who will call him when nothing happens...

It seems that there is only Su Jiuyue? !
bad!Why is this woman so bad at choosing time!

Gu Qiuhan's hair stood on end and he immediately reached out his hand to turn off the ringtone of his cell phone.

Soon after, Gu's mother reacted even more quickly and reached out her hand to get his phone first.

"I want to see how much you kid has hidden from us."
