Mother Liu was stunned for a moment before she explained, "Your mother was probably a little tired from filming. Also, there will be so many people going to the auditorium later. It would be good if your mother was discovered, so she went to wait in the car."
"I see."
"Dang, dang, dang." Mother Liu seemed to be afraid that Xiao Kong would be unhappy. She immediately took out a camera from behind her. "Look, your mother specially asked me to record the whole process. She really wants to see you winning the game."
Xiao Kong looked at the camera. "Okay."
Mother Liu accompanied Xiao Kong to the award ceremony. Mother Liu recorded the whole process. When Xiao Kong's football team received the award, she thought that the ceremony would be over soon. Unexpectedly, the principal of the school suddenly announced a piece of shocking news.
"Next, let's welcome our school's newly hired honorary consultant, Gu Hecheng, to the stage. He will donate three million yuan to Hope Primary School in the name of the winning class and our bilingual Bass International School."
Mother Liu looked at Gu Hecheng in disbelief amidst the applause of the crowd.
She had no idea what Gu Hecheng said after that. She just thought about the situation when she saw Shen Qianqian and guessed that it was because she saw Gu Hecheng.
Gu Hecheng only went on stage for a short while and said a few words before he came down.
The ceremony was almost over. Mother Liu saw Xiao Kong walking towards her and immediately pulled him aside.
"Xiao Kong, let me ask you …" Mother Liu looked at Gu Hecheng's back as he walked away. She thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate to ask Xiao Kong. Although she knew that the two of them had met before, she felt that Xiao Kong might not know about this matter. It was not good to ask him rashly.
"What is it?" Xiao Kong looked at Mother Liu in confusion. However, Mother Liu felt that it was inappropriate and immediately shook her head. "No, nothing."
"I just wanted to tell you that your mother and I will go back first. You have to be good." Mother Liu squatted down in front of Xiao Kong and patted his head. Seeing how close he was to Gu Hecheng, she could finally understand how Shen Qianqian felt. That sense of crisis and uneasiness was engraved in her blood.
"Xiao Kong, the person who loves you the most in this world is your mother, do you know that?" Mother Liu looked at Xiao Kong sadly. She was actually looking forward to telling Xiao Kong one day that his parents loved him the most.
Mother Liu watched as Xiao Kong skipped back to the classroom. She was finally relieved and went to look for Shen Qianqian.
On the way back, Mother Liu kept thinking about how to break the news to Shen Qianqian about what happened at the ceremony today.
Mother Liu gently knocked on the car window. Shen Qianqian opened the door and Mother Liu got in.
The car drove steadily on the road. Mother Liu looked at Shen Qianqian and hesitated to speak.
In the end, Shen Qianqian spoke first. "I saw Gu Hecheng today …"
"He knows that Xiao Kong is his child." Shen Qianqian lowered her eyes slightly and looked out of the window. "He did a paternity test for me."
"Then …" Mother Liu remembered that Gu Hecheng was still in school. She suddenly asked nervously, "Will Xiao Kong be at ease when we come back like this?"
"He said that he won't force Xiao Kong. He also won't take Xiao Kong away without me knowing."
As Shen Qianqian said this, she suddenly felt a little confused. Why did she really believe Gu Hecheng's words? Even now, she still believed him without a doubt.
Mother Liu looked at Shen Qianqian and her heart skipped a beat. "Since Mr. Gu said this, doesn't it mean that he wants to use sincerity to exchange for sincerity? Actually, I think this is a good thing …"
"Sincerity?" Shen Qianqian couldn't help but twitch her mouth. "I don't care about such things. It's just that he said that he will use his own method to do it. Actually, I can't guess what he's thinking."
Mother Liu saw that Shen Qianqian hadn't been troubled by Gu Hecheng like this for a long time. She didn't know why, but she subconsciously felt that this wasn't a bad thing.
Hence, Auntie Liu did not say anything. She did not mention a single word about what had happened at the ceremony. As for what would happen between Gu Hecheng and Shen Qianqian in the future, she wanted to watch from the sidelines. Unless it was absolutely necessary, she believed that Gu Hecheng and Shen Qianqian would not separate so easily.
Thinking of this, Mother Liu relaxed her sitting posture. When she thought of Xiao Kong, she actually felt a little happy for him.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Shen Qianqian had been troubled by herself for a long time. Suddenly, she realized that Mother Liu's expression was a little relaxed. It was as if she hadn't heard anything.
"Ah?" Mother Liu reacted. But she pretended to be dumb and said with a smile, "I was just thinking about what to buy on the way back."
Shen Qianqian looked at Mother Liu's relaxed expression and couldn't help laughing in her heart.
Well, it was useless to think about the future now. It was better to think about something more practical.
The afternoon sun shone warmly on the school field. Gu Hecheng didn't go back to the company. He sat by the field alone.
After a while, he saw Xiao Kong and a child walking in the distance. He looked over and saw that it was Xiao Yuan, the child who got lost with Xiao Kong last time.
Xiao Kong looked up and saw that Gu Hecheng was looking at him. He suddenly remembered what happened at the award ceremony. After whispering a few words to Xiao Yuan, he ran over to him alone.
Gu Hecheng sat where he was. It was as if he knew that Xiao Kong would come. He looked up and smiled as Xiao Kong walked over.
Xiao Kong wasn't surprised by Gu Hecheng's behavior. But when he was about to approach, he was surprised when Gu Hecheng reached out and opened his arms.
Gu Hecheng's sudden hug, which seemed to be filled with love, made Xiao Kong stop in his tracks. He was a little hesitant.
"Xiao Kong, come here." Gu Hecheng was stunned when he saw him move. A trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes, but he still smiled and opened his arms to him.
"I have something to tell you." Gu Hecheng's voice seemed to carry the weight of mountains and the gentleness of water. In short, it was not that Xiao Kong had never been close to him and had been hugged by him before. However, this time, he subconsciously felt that something was different.
Xiao Kong sharply stared at Gu Hecheng. He was very alert, but there seemed to be a voice calling him in his heart. He walked over with firm steps.
Gu Hecheng was very happy to see Xiao Kong walking towards him. But he didn't expect that Xiao Kong would stand an arm's length away from him and refuse his hug. He looked at him seriously and said, "What do you want to say? I just want to know why you …"
"Why have you been here so often recently?" Gu Hecheng finally put down his arms in disappointment. When he looked at Xiao Kong, his eyes were filled with love, guilt, and heartache.
"Xiao Kong, I have a lot to tell you. But do you really want to hear it?" Gu Hecheng had never been so cautious. He didn't know whether he didn't dare to tell Xiao Kong the truth, or he didn't dare to let Shen Qianqian know that Xiao Kong knew the truth.
While Gu Hecheng was hesitating, what he did not expect was that Xiao Kong calmly sat down beside him. Although there was no communication, the two of them had a surprising tacit understanding. The two of them were practically the same.
"Uncle Long Legs, do you want me to guess?" Xiao Kong suddenly tilted his head and looked at Gu Hecheng. His calmness surprised Gu Hecheng. He didn't say anything for a long time.
Xiao Kong stared at him for a while. Then he suddenly looked up and said, "Uncle Long Legs and I aren't strangers, right?"
Xiao Kong's words shocked Gu Hecheng. He frowned. Although he thought of many possibilities, he didn't expect Xiao Kong to guess correctly and be so calm.
Facing Xiao Kong like this, Gu Hecheng didn't know whether to say that Xiao Kong's character was like his, or that he had become so tolerant after five years of suffering.
Gu Hecheng looked at Xiao Kong and reached out his trembling hand. Just when he didn't know whether to put it down or not, Xiao Kong turned his head slightly. He saw Gu Hecheng's movement, but he didn't stop him.
"How did you know?" Gu Hecheng's trembling hand finally landed on Xiao Kong's head. His voice was trembling uncontrollably. He had never felt such pain in his heart before. It made him feel as if he was about to suffocate.
"Actually, I guessed it a long time ago," Xiao Kong sat quietly and obediently, letting Gu Hecheng stroke his hair gently.
"Uncle, do you remember when I got lost and went to your house?" Xiao Kong smiled faintly, but he didn't look at Gu Hecheng. He seemed to be avoiding his gaze.
"At that time, my mother knew that I was there, but she still asked someone to pick me up. Coincidentally, Grandma Liu, who had always been taking care of me, was also there, so I guessed a little." Xiao Kong smiled and turned his head. "I'm quite smart, and my thoughts are quite deep."
Gu Hecheng didn't know how to answer Xiao Kong. He just stared at him blankly.
"Uncle, you didn't answer me. It seems so." Xiao Kong smiled. "I think I'm like you in these two aspects. My mom isn't smart at all. She doesn't think fast either."
Gu Hecheng held back his tears. He looked at Xiao Kong and choked with sobs for the first time. "You're like me."
Xiao Kong looked back at Gu Hecheng, whose eyes were red. He lowered his head and didn't say anything.
They were silent for a while. Gu Hecheng finally couldn't help but say, "Xiao Kong, since you know I'm your father, I want to tell you this formally today. Can you call me Dad?"
"Dad?" Xiao Kong seemed to be smiling. He didn't raise his head. When Gu Hecheng smiled happily because of his name, Xiao Kong suddenly raised his head coldly and shook it at him.
