"Brother Chen?" Yi Mo looked up, and Gu Zechen nodded in response, then took Yi Mo's hand and walked towards Lin Xiuxian.

"......" Lin Xiuxian looked at the two children standing in front of him, and after thinking for a while, he couldn't come up with the names of these two children. He smiled apologetically and said, "Look at me, I've forgotten your names for a moment. Will you blame Mommy for that?"

Gu Zechen and Yi Mo vigorously shook their heads.

"Such a good child!" Lin Xiuxian slowly got up and searched for a long time in a drawer under the table. Shaking and unsteady, she finally turned around and stuffed a small cloth bundle into Gu Zechen's hands.

"You're the older brother, so you keep this. It's something our grandmother gave me to pass down to you. Take it and make sure to listen to your teacher, study well, understand?"

Gu Zechen shook his head and stuffed the things back into Lin Xiuxian's hands. Then, he pointed at himself, pointed at Yi Mo, and then pointed at Lin Xiuxian. His little face turned red, and his eyes sparkled even more.

"What does this mean?" Lin Xiuxian spoke slowly, and Yi Mo waited for the other party to finish before explaining, "Brother Chen means that from now on, we are a family and will be together forever."

Hearing Yi Mo's words, Lin Xiuxian smiled gently, reaching out to embrace the two children in her arms. She breathed a sigh of relief, feeling content and satisfied.

Wang Zheng and Xiao Yang worked quickly, and in no time they had prepared the meal. Looking at the three of them getting along harmoniously, they once again felt satisfied with their decision.

"Alright, let's eat first. We'll talk after we finish our meal!"

Gu Zechen and Yi Mo stood on either side to support Lin Xiuxian. After Lin Xiuxian was seated, they then sat by her side.

"Come, have a chicken leg!" Lin Xiuxian picked up a chicken leg and placed it in Gu Zechen's bowl, then proceeded to pick up another one for Yi Mo: "Eat up, only when you're full can you grow taller!"

Gu Zechen nodded, tears welled up in his eyes. For so many years, no one had ever served him food, let alone a chicken leg or even a single vegetable.

Gu Zechen involuntarily sniffled, paying no attention to whether or not it was elegant. He picked up the chicken leg directly and started to gnaw on it. It was very fragrant and delicious. As he continued to eat, tears streamed down his face and dripped onto the chicken leg in his hand. He bit into it and swallowed it into his stomach. It was fragrant and warm, and very tasty...

Yi Mo took a bite and immediately burst into tears, which startled Lin Xiuxian, who quickly set down his chopsticks. "What's wrong? Is the chicken leg not tasty? Why are you crying..."

Lin Xiuxian comforted Yi Mo as she stayed silent. Yi Mo vigorously shook her head, choked with emotion, unable to speak a complete sentence: "N-No... not... chicken... leg... tasty... good... sob sob sob..."

"Mo'er!" Wang Zheng looked at Yi Mo. His own eyes were also red. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, grabbing a towel from the side to wipe away her tears. "Mo'er, be good, don't cry. Shall we eat first?"

"Mhmm... Great!" Yi Mo wiped away his tears and sniffed forcefully. Since as far back as he could remember, he never had his mom or dad by his side. Seeing other children snuggle up and act spoiled in their parents' embrace, Yi Mo also yearned for the same.

However, it is not possible. He did not have, nor could he reveal his longing for his parents. If he were to do so, it would hurt Brother Chen's feelings.

"Dad!" Yi Mo turned around and wrapped her arms around Wang Zheng's neck, and burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.

Wang Zheng tightly hugged Imo and gently patted his back, softly comforting him, "It's alright, it's alright, be a good boy, don't cry, don't cry..."

Wang Zheng sighed and turned his face away, not allowing Lin Xiuxian to see the tears on his face...

Gu Zechen lowered his head, his shoulders shrugging up and down. A pool of water gradually gathered at his feet, the silent sobbing adding an even more poignant touch...

Lin Xiuxian, who was infected, patted Gu Zechen's back gently. The soft touch made Gu Zechen lift his face and look at the faint and indulgent smile on Lin Xiuxian's face. He immediately pushed aside the chair and threw himself into Lin Xiuxian's arms.

Lin Xiuxian held Gu Zechen in her arms, gently patting him like every mother would comfort her child. She whispered softly, "Alright, you're already so grown up. If you continue like this, Mom will laugh at you!"

Although he said that, his actions didn't show any sign of stopping at all. They were smooth as if he had done it thousands of times.

Lin Xiuxian's body was filled with the scent of medicine, blending Chinese and Western medicine together. It was not pleasant, but when Gu Zechen caught a whiff of this scent, it became the most delightful fragrance in the world for him - it was the scent of his mother.

After hearing Lin Xiuxian's slightly teasing words, Gu Zechen felt a little embarrassed and took a step back from her embrace. He awkwardly licked his lips, standing there blankly on the side, unsure of what to do.

"Zechen, let's eat first, or else it will all get cold," noticing Zechen's embarrassment, Xiaoyang tugged at his clothes and quietly reminded everyone, "Boss, Aunt Lin, Momo, let's eat first!"

"Yes, yes, let's eat first, let's eat first!" Upon hearing Xiao Yang's words, Wang Zheng pacified his daughter in his arms and said, "Mo Er, let's eat first!"

"Mmm!" Yi Mo felt a little embarrassed, her face turning red. She got down from Wang Zheng's leg and quietly sat back in her seat. "Chen, brother?!"

Ivy stared at Gu Zechen with a pair of round, big eyes. Gu Zechen smiled and picked up a chopstick to put some food in Ivy's bowl. Then, he playfully pushed it towards her with a smile.

"Thank you, Brother Chen!" Yi Mo smiled and finally began to eat with a sense of relief.

After a heartwarming and harmonious meal, Xiao Yang and Gu Zechen, along with Yi Mo, tidied up the tableware. Wang Zheng then escorted Lin Xiuxian to the bedroom for rest.

"Oh, Lao Wang, um..." Lin Xiuxian pondered for a while before remembering Gu Zechen's name. "Is Zechen unable to speak?"

Wang Zheng pressed the person onto the bed, covered them with a blanket, and then sat down by the bedside. He said, "No, Zechen has been sick lately and hurt his throat. The doctor advised him not to speak for now, until he recovers."

Wang Zheng deceived Lin Xiuxian while expressing deep apologies to Gu Zechen, hoping that this child could understand his helplessness.

"Oh, I see. In that case, you must take the child to see the best doctor and make sure they don't end up disabled, understood?"

Wang Zheng helped Lin Xiuxian tuck the hair on her forehead behind her ear and said, "I got it. Take good care of yourself, and don't make me worry about the child."

"I know, I'm not a child..." Lin Xiuxian said, but her voice grew softer and softer. Eventually, she was still sitting there, but she had already fallen asleep.

Wang Zheng helped his wife lie down, and as he turned around, he saw Gu Zechen standing at the doorway. He immediately felt apologetic and said, "Zechen, I'm sorry, I don't know how to explain it. I can only..."

Gu Zechen held Wang Zheng's hand, shaking his head with a smile. Wang Zheng's explanation was the best; otherwise, even he himself wouldn't know how to explain it.
