"Daddy!" When Yimo saw Wang Zheng, she put down her chopsticks and rushed towards him, sweetly holding his hand, and began recounting her day's activities. "Dad, today I drew a picture with Chen gege (big brother Chen), and Mom really liked it. We even cooked together, and I washed a lot of vegetables."

Looking at Yi Mo's sweet smile, Gu Zechen felt happiness deep in his heart. His Mo'er should have a happy and wonderful childhood like this.

Gu Zechen gratefully looked at Wang Zheng and got up to take the thing in his hand. Then, he went to the kitchen to fetch a set of bowls and chopsticks and placed them in front of Wang Zheng.

"Don't keep running back and forth in the future. I'll be fine at home, just eat a little more. Lin Xiuxian knew Wang Zheng was worried about her. Looking at her husband's increasingly thin cheeks, Lin Xiuxian said with a heartache, 'Besides, we still have our child accompanying me!'"

"Okay, then I won't come back when I get busy in the future." Wang Zheng picked up a chopstick and stuffed a piece of dish into his mouth. It was slightly raw and a bit salty, but overall, it was pretty good.

"Daddy, how is it? Is it delicious?" Yi Mo looked at Wang Zheng with wide-eyed anticipation, her eyes spinning around.

"Mmm~" Wang Zheng pursed his lips and furrowed his brows, continuing until he had fully whetted Yi Mo's appetite. Then, he smiled and said, "Not bad, it's delicious!"

Yi Mo then laughed, causing even Lin Xiuxian to involuntarily smile. Gu Zechen fed Wang Zheng with a vegetable, his face showing an uncontrollable expression of joy.

This kind of harmonious and beautiful life is something he never dared to imagine before. Even in his wildest dreams, he couldn't have hoped for a day when he would have his own mom and dad, and be blessed with the same happiness as Momo.

After the meal, Gu Zechen followed Wang Zheng into the shop, leaving Yi Mo to accompany Lin Xiuxian.

Thinking about sending the two children to school, Wang Zheng said to Lin Xiuxian, "Xiuxian, if you find yourself bored, you can teach Mo'er how to read. Don't worry about household chores, we'll talk about it when I come back, ha!"

"Alright, I know!" Lin Xiuxian said jokingly. After so many years, Wang Zheng was always this nervous and wouldn't let her do anything. While feeling grateful, she couldn't help but feel even more self-blame.

Whoever gets married doesn't do it just to support each other and live a harmonious and loving life together. But as for her, she only brings trouble to Wang Zheng. Don't even mention earning money to support the family, as long as she doesn't keep asking for more money like a bottomless pit, she's satisfied.

Unfortunately!

"Momo, take good care of your mom and don't let her get tired," Yi Mo nodded vigorously, repeatedly assuring that he would definitely take good care of Lin Xiu Xian. "You can rest assured, I am a man, I will definitely take good care of our girl at home!"

Yimo spoke seriously, but the three of them couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The days of prosperity are always sweet, always passing more quickly than the difficult years. Three days later, Wang Zheng finally completed the enrollment procedures and was ready to take Gu Zechen and Yi Mo to school.

"Old Wang, take the child to buy some clothes." Lin Xiuxian looked at Gu Zechen and Yi Mo who were busy unpacking their own schoolbags. The excited smiles on the children's faces were the best gift for Lin Xiuxian.

"You don't have to worry about these things. After breakfast, I will take them with me," Wang Zheng entrusted the matters of the shop to Xiao Yang. His main task today was to take the two children out and have a good time playing.

It is said that when she heard about going shopping, Yi Mo excitedly exclaimed. Gu Zechen, on the other hand, stood silently, with his hands stirring his collar, and his thin lips were marked with fresh red tooth imprints.

"Wang Zheng squatted beside Gu Zechen, holding his intertwined hands and looking up at him with a gentle gaze. 'Zechen, can dad talk to you?'"

The child has grown up and has his own worries. Wang Zheng knows that he cannot treat Gu Zechen the same way he treated Yi Mo.

After all, in terms of the mind, Gu Zechen's thoughts are much heavier than Yi Mo's. Being several years older, he has endured more difficulties and responsibilities than Yi Mo. In terms of the body, the inability to speak due to his disability is always a concern.

Perhaps, Gu Zechen usually appears indifferent and uncaring, but as Wang Zheng looked at the desolate and sorrowful child in front of him, he knew that the other person's heart was not as indifferent as he seemed.

"Wang Zheng?" Wang Zheng stood up and took Gu Zechen's hand, walking towards the bedroom where he and Yi Mo were: "Do you know what aspect of you dad loves the most?"

Gu Zechen was taken aback, tears streaking his raised face. His watery eyes were filled with confusion as he looked at Wang Zheng. He felt useless and incapable of doing anything. What is there to appreciate about someone like him?

"You!'" Wang Zheng closed the door and then pulled Gu Zechen to sit by the edge of the bed, gently patting the back of his hand and whispering sweet nothings.

"Zechen, where is your father? He may not speak profound truths, but you must understand that in this world, every person's existence, every thing's existence, even the existence of a single leaf, all have their own reasons."

Looking up at Wang Zheng with his face, Gu Zechen had never heard anyone say such words to him in all these years.

Before, he was compelled by his life, having no time, energy, or resources to indulge in self-pity. But as long as he thought about having to go to school, face so many peers, his heart would feel tangled and uncomfortable.

Although he never showed it on the surface, only Gu Zechen himself knew that he actually cared about his inability to speak.

If it weren't for this, how could he have been abandoned by his own biological parents? If it weren't for this, how could he have remained unclaimed, thus delaying Yimo's future.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been unable to find a decent job and could only beg with his young son for a living, scavenging through trash. If it weren't for this, when he found out he could go to school, even the joy in his heart became cautious.

Gu Zechen lowered his head, afraid to look into Wang Zheng's eyes. He didn't know if what Wang Zheng said was true or merely to comfort himself.

In nearly fifteen years of his life, Gu Zechen had never once contemplated the purpose of his own existence.

Isn't it that the heavens intended to mock him by allowing him to be born?

Ze Chen, you are a good child. Compared to other children your age, you are strong, kind, capable of protecting Mo Er, and even able to earn money for yourself. You are truly amazing!

Wang Zheng is not good at comforting children nor easing their pain, but he knows that if he can't help Ge Zechen overcome the self-doubt and self-denial lingering in his heart, Ge Zechen will live a tiring and lonely life in the future.

Gu Zechen looked up, gazing into Wang Zheng's sparkling eyes, silently asking, "Is it true? Am I really as good as you say?"

"Ze Chen, do you know why everyone's life is different?" Hearing Wang Zheng's calm words, Gu Ze Chen thought about it seriously, and then shook his head.
