Facing such a warm little shadow was like facing Gu Beiyue.
However, Qin Min could reject Gu Beiyue, but she would never be able to reject the little shadow.
She said, "Okay, let's not argue with him."
She carried the little shadow over and let him sit on her lap, snuggling in her arms.
She could never forget the timid and distant look of the little shadow when she first met him. She also could not forget the scene of the little shadow sitting at the gate waiting for her after she returned from Medical City.
The wet nurse said that after the child came back from Yunning, he would sit at the gate every night, waiting for her to come back.
That day, as soon as she got out of the car, he rushed over and called her "godmother".
She had never been a mother, but at that moment, she really felt that the little shadow was her biological child and that she was the child's everything to rely on.
She said to him, "It's not godmother, it's mother. Call me mother from now on. "
The two-year-old little shadow was more or less sensible, and it took him a whole month to correct himself. Occasionally, he would even call her "godmother" inadvertently.
But now, he was five years old, and he never called her "godmother" again. He would always call her "mother" softly and sweetly. When he was serious, he would even call her "mother".
Seeing the letter in his mother's hand, the little shadow asked, "Mother, Daddy wrote again?"
"Mm," Qin Min answered faintly.
The little shadow thought for a moment and asked, "Mother, what does Daddy look like?"
The number of times the little shadow had seen Gu Beiyue could be counted on one hand. After he was two years old, he basically never saw him again. His memory was blurry, and he only knew that he was not his parents' biological son.
Qin Min thought for a long time and pointed to the moon. "He looks like that."
The little shadow looked up and couldn't understand for a long time. "What are you looking at?"
"The moon," Qin Min said seriously.
The little shadow was dumbfounded. "The moon?"
"Is the moon beautiful?" Qin Min asked.
"It's beautiful," the little shadow answered without hesitation.
"Your father is as beautiful as the moon," Qin Min said and laughed.
As the mother and son chatted, Xi Yubo came over.
"Madam, Young Master should sleep. I still have to wake up early tomorrow morning to practice. "
After Gu Beiyue left, he warned Xi Yubo once. Now, when Xi Yubo saw Qin Min, it was the same as when he saw Gu Beiyue. He was always respectful and did not dare to be presumptuous.
"Don't all the shadows know how to do it? Even with all of you working together, you still couldn't catch him. In my opinion, you should dismiss all of your people. With the Shadow around, it's enough. "
Qin Min's half-serious, half-joking tone made Xi Yubo unable to figure out what she really meant. Xi Yubo could only smile foolishly. "Madam, Little Master is very talented and learns quickly."
"Good that you know. Later, I'll get Northmoon to switch to a new group of people. Let the shadow rest for a while, "Qin Min said.
Xi Yubo was in a difficult position. If the Shadow Platoon wasn't trained well enough, it would be hard for him to report back.
"Yes, yes!" He agreed first, thinking about how to report to his master.
At this moment, Little Shadow suddenly jumped down from Qin Min's arms and landed on the ground.
He was especially serious and said loudly, "Guards, protect Madam. Someone has broken in!"
As he said that, he shot off to the right.
Qin Min and Xi Yubo used their mental states to place many guards in the surroundings of the room. Someone who could break in so silently definitely had to be extraordinary.
However, Qin Min and Xi Yubo waited for a very long time, but they did not see any guards come to protect them. Instead, they saw two figures, one small and one large, begin a chase on the roof.
Qin Min was dumbfounded by the tall and lanky figure. She rubbed her eyes subconsciously, thinking that her eyes were playing tricks on her.
However, Xi Yubo blurted out very soon, "It's master. Master has returned."
Yeah, it's Gu Beiyue!
Qin Min probably would never forget that figure under the moonlight for the rest of her life. She had only received his letter and medicinal dregs today, so why had he come?
Qin Min stared at the familiar figure in a daze. She was unable to think anymore. She just stared, and stared …
Gu Beiyue could obviously slow down and let Little Shadow chase after him. In the beginning, the distance between him and Little Shadow was still a little wide. However, gradually, Gu Beiyue slowed down even more, and Little Shadow became even closer to him.
He originally wanted to keep a distance between him and Little Shadow to provoke this child. However, who knew that once the distance between them was shortened, Little Shadow would not continue to chase after him. Instead, Little Shadow turned around and landed beside Qin Min.
Gu Beiyue was very surprised. He turned around to look.
He saw Qin Min and Little Shadow standing under the tree, looking at him under the moonlight.
Three years had passed, and Little Shadow had grown up. Qin Min did not change much other than being a little thinner.
He stood on the roof, and the moonlight shone on him, washing away the impurities on his body. His white clothes looked especially pure. He looked at Qin Min and her son. He didn't know why, but he just didn't chase after them.
Little Shadow held his mother's hand and muttered, "Mother."
Qin Min regained her senses. "Hm?"
Little Shadow was silent for a moment before he muttered again, "Mother, the moon has fallen."
Qin Min subconsciously raised her head to look at the sky. She saw that the moon was still hanging high in the sky, and the night sky was silent. She muttered, "No, the moon is still …"
Halfway through her sentence, she finally regained her senses. What the hell was this?
She said seriously, "Little Shadow, your father is back."
"Mother, he's deliberately playing with me." Although Little Shadow was not as mature as other children, three years of Qin Min's personal teaching had made him smart and introverted.
"No, he's testing your qinggong," Qin Min said again.
No matter how calm Little Shadow was, he was still a child. He became nervous. "Mother, I couldn't catch up to him."
Qin Min was dumbfounded again. She muttered to herself, "I couldn't catch up to him either."
"But, you don't know martial arts." Little Shadow looked up, his young and tender face full of confusion.
Qin Min regained her senses and hurriedly comforted him. "You're still young. You'll definitely be able to catch up to him in the future."
Little Shadow trusted his mother's words the most. He instantly gained confidence and said seriously, "Mother, if Father runs away in the future, I'll chase him back for you, okay?"
Qin Min only replied after a long while. She said, "He's lost a lot of weight."
"Mother, why isn't Father here yet?" Little Shadow asked again.
Qin Min didn't even think about it and said casually, "I don't know either. You should go ask him."
Little Shadow's figure flashed and quickly landed in front of Gu Beiyue. He was so fast that Qin Min couldn't even stop him. She was about to chase after him when she saw Gu Beiyue squatting down in front of Little Shadow.
She stopped in her tracks. This scene made her entire heart soften and calm down.
She believed that this person whose heart was as cold as ice would definitely not hurt the child.
Gu Beiyue studied Little Shadow's face seriously. He didn't expect that the timid child from back then would be so bold as to stand in front of him and look at him.
He smiled gently and said, "Little Shadow, do you know who I am?"
Little Shadow nodded seriously. He also studied his father's appearance and didn't make a sound.
"Who am I?" Gu Beiyue asked again.
Little Shadow looked pensive. He didn't know what he was thinking about. Gu Beiyue didn't rush him and waited patiently.
However, Little Shadow pondered for too long. He couldn't help but ask, "Since you know, why are you still thinking?"
Only then did Little Shadow answer, "You're the clan leader of the Shadow Clan. You're the crown prince's teacher. You're the head of the Medical Department."
What kind of person his father was and what kind of person he was. Mother had told him all about it.
Gu Beiyue was surprised, and a part of his heart faintly ached. He unconsciously drew Little Shadow closer and let Little Shadow lean into the crook of his arm.
Little Shadow had long been unafraid of strangers, and he was even more unafraid of this "Father". In these three years, his mother had told him too many things about his father. He had even freeloaded a few letters from his mother and chatted with this "Father" a few times.
Gu Beiyue asked seriously, "What else?"
Gu Beiyue wanted to call him "Father", but Little Shadow said, "Also, you're still Mother's moon."
Gu Beiyue was stunned. He subconsciously looked at Qin Min, but Qin Min immediately averted her gaze. Gu Beiyue also immediately retracted his gaze and asked gently, "Anything else?"
Little Shadow thought for a long time. In the end, he shook his head. "That's all I know."
Gu Beiyue picked Little Shadow up and looked at him. He said seriously, "Also, I'm Gu Nanchen's father."
Qin Min originally wanted him to give Little Shadow a name, but he had been thinking about it. After she returned from Medical City, she didn't let him give it. She named Little Shadow "Nanchen".
Nanchen literally meant the stars in the south. As for what it meant, she didn't say, so he didn't ask.
Northmoon Nanchen. Anyone who knew his name would easily guess Little Shadow's identity when they heard Little Shadow's name.
He immediately replied to Qin Min and said, "Okay!"
Seeing how serious his father was, Little Shadow suddenly broke into a smile. Only then did Gu Beiyue realize how brilliant Little Shadow's smile was.
Little Shadow said, "You're Father to begin with! Do you still need to say it out loud? "
Gu Beiyue was actually speechless. He couldn't help but chuckle. Suddenly, he felt like everything had become simple. It was as if all the complicated matters could be cleared up and smoothed over by this child's innocent words.
Little Shadow stopped laughing and said seriously, "Father, I've finally met you. I missed you very much."
Gu Beiyue's heart was filled with guilt. Even though they'd exchanged letters, he owed the child too much over the past three busy years.
Whether he was his biological father or not, he was still the child's father.
He hugged Little Shadow tightly and said gently, "Father missed you too."
"Did Father miss Mother?" Little Shadow asked again.
Gu Beiyue paused, but he answered very soon, "Mm, I missed her too."
"Father, why haven't you come down yet? Mother has already waited for you for so long. You can't make her wait. Her legs will get sore. "
"Mm," Gu Beiyue replied indifferently and said nothing more.
He descended with Little Shadow in his arms, slowly landing before Qin Min.
The two of them smiled at the same time. At the very least, they smiled. The two of them avoided each other's gaze.
Little Shadow looked at her mother, then at her father. She quickly moved close to her father's ear and whispered, "Father, Mother has been looking at the moon every day. She misses you every day."
Gu Beiyue looked at Qin Min again. He couldn't help but slowly move his gaze down from the side of her face. He studied her and discovered that she was even thinner up close.
"Father, Mother was still looking at the moon earlier. I'm not lying to you," Little Shadow emphasized softly.
