Chapter 3257 Shen Tianyu 657

Around six or seven in the morning.

Shen Tianyu noticed someone walking back and forth outside. The footsteps were very light, and the person seemed to have no special skills, but the aura was familiar.

He walked to the door, opened it, and sure enough, there was his father, Shen Ke.

He asked, "Dad, why are you here so early?"

Shen Ke, carrying a huge thermos in one hand and a large box of gourmet food in the other, smiled and said, "I woke up too early. I wanted to bring Jinzhi some soup, but I arrived too early and was afraid of disturbing you, so I didn't go in. Did I disturb you by walking around?"

He was being modest.

He hadn't slept all night; he was so excited.

He would get up at two or three in the morning to personally brew a nourishing soup, which took several hours to brew. After finishing the soup, he would start cooking vegetables.

He came from a poor family and took care of his sick mother when he was young, which honed his excellent cooking skills.

Shen Tianyu said, "Don't make a sound, please come in."

He reached out to take the thermos from his hand.

Shen Ke quickly stepped aside and said, "It's heavy, I'll do it."

Shen Tianyu found it amusing. His father knew his skills all too well; this little bit of weight was nothing to him.

In hindsight, his father was still subconsciously treating him like a child.

Shen Ke put the insulated container and food box into the small kitchen that came with the delivery room.

He washed his hands and tiptoed to Xianxian.

Xianxian is still sleeping.

Her delicate and pretty face resembled Su Jingyu's, but she possessed a more composed demeanor.

Shen Ke whispered to Shen Tianyu, "Can I come to see Xianxian often?"

He also wanted to say that when you were little, I never raised you for a single day, nor did I ever hold you.

He wanted to make amends to Xianxian, hoping to compensate her by being good to her.

Shen Tianyu replied in a low voice, "Xianxian is your own granddaughter. You can see her if you want."

Shen Ke was flattered and surprised. "Really? Even after being discharged from the hospital?"

"can."

After a pause, Shen Tianyu said, "Dad, you don't need to be so careful, and you don't need to always feel guilty towards me. Everyone has their own difficulties. I didn't understand when I was a child, but I do now."

Shen Ke's eyes deepened, and his throat bobbed slightly.

That's the logic.

But when he's in front of his son, he instinctively becomes cautious and hesitant, always feeling guilty. This habit is one he'll probably never be able to break.

Xianxian's little hand, which was resting outside, suddenly moved.

Then she slowly opened her eyes, her big, dark eyes first looking at Shen Tianyu, then at Dugu Cheng and the nanny, and finally landing on Shen Ke's face.

Shen Tianyu bent down and picked her up, saying softly, "Xianxian, this is your grandfather."

Xianxian stared at Shen Ke with her big eyes, and her little mouth moved slightly.

Naturally, it cannot produce a sound.

Shen Tianyu translated for her: "Xianxian is calling you grandpa."

Shen Ke's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

When Shen Tianyu was little, he longed for Shen Tianyu to call him "Dad," but back then, the two of them couldn't even see each other.

After Su Jingyu was born, he gave all his love to her. Su Jingyu called him "Dad" all the time, but she could never replace Shen Tianyu.

Shen Ke raised his hand to dust off his sleeves and collar, and said, "I changed into new clothes today, washed my hands just now, and disinfected my whole body when I got out of the car. Can I hug Xianxian?"

He remained as cautious as ever.

There were too many people wanting to hold Xianxian yesterday, so he couldn't get a turn. He was also worried that if too many people wanted to hold Xianxian, she would feel uncomfortable.

Shen Tianyu said, "Okay, let's go outside."

Upon entering the outer room, Shen Tianyu placed Xianxian in Shen Ke's arms.

The moment he hugged her, Shen Ke's eyes reddened.

He felt that he was not just holding Xianxian, but Shen Tianyu as a child.

The regret that had lasted for twenty-nine years seemed to have been suddenly let go.

Tears streamed down her face and dripped onto the small blanket that wrapped around Xianxian.

Shen Ke wanted to wipe it, but he didn't have a free hand.

He said somewhat embarrassedly, "Look at me, why am I crying?"

Shen Tianyu turned around and took out a few tissues to gently wipe away his tears, saying, "You should spend more time with Xianxian in the future."

Shen Ke looked at Dugu Cheng, "Senior, may I? Will my destiny harm Xianxian?"

Dugu Cheng said, "It's alright now."

It involves too much metaphysics, and it's a long story, so Dugu Cheng didn't want to say much. He just used three words to shut people up.

Shen Ke confirmed again and again, "Really?"

Dugu Cheng nodded. "Really."

Shen Ke's tense, handsome face finally relaxed completely.

He lifted Xianxian a little higher, lowered his head, pressed his face against her little hat, and said, "That's great, that's great."

He cried again.

Men don't easily shed tears, and he rarely cries normally, but today he couldn't control himself and kept shedding tears.

Shen Tianyu wiped away his tears again.

Shen Ke carried Xianxian to the sofa and sat down. He said to Shen Tianyu and Dugu Cheng, "I brought a lot of food, and the portions are huge. You should eat in the small kitchen. The night shift is tiring."

The master and apprentice went into the kitchen.

Only Shen Ke and Xianxian remained in the small reception room.

Shen Ke looked down at Xianxian in his arms, his lips curving into a smile that grew wider and wider.

He whispered, "Tianyu."

Tears streamed down her face again.

His vision was blurred, and he couldn't see Xianxian's face clearly. He vaguely felt that the baby in his arms was Tianyu, who had just been born twenty-nine years ago.

He called out "Tianyu" softly again.

The tiny baby in my arms suddenly made a very soft sound, like "hmm".

Shen Ke's tears flowed even more profusely.

He gently cradled Xianxian's small body and brought her close to his heart.

No one can understand his guilt, his self-blame, and his regrets over the years.

Shen Tianyu served the soup and dishes to his master and the nanny, but after only a few bites, he came out again, holding a tissue in his hand.

He guessed his father would cry very hard.

Wiping away his father's tears, Shen Tianyu said, "It's all in the past. From now on, take good care of Xianxian."

Shen Ke nodded emphatically.

After the three of them had finished their meal, Yuan Jinzhi woke up.

Shen Tianyu helped Yuan Jinzhi up, fed her some tonic on an empty stomach, helped her wash up, and then served her soup and vegetables.

Yuan Jinzhi laughed and said, "What kind of divine treatment is this? Ever since I got pregnant, I've been served food and drink by divine brothers every day. Even the Queen Mother of the West couldn't be better off than this!"

Shen Tianyu fed her the soup and gently scolded, "Don't be so arrogant. Be careful the Queen Mother of the West hears you and sends someone down to punish you."

Yuan Jinzhi immediately fell silent.

She would never have believed such things before, but ever since she followed Shen Tianyu, she's believed all sorts of strange and bizarre things.

Shen Ke picked up Xianxian and carried her over.

Yuan Jinzhi patted Xianxian's little arm and said, "Yesterday, Senior Dugu held Xianxian tightly and wouldn't let go, but today he let you hold her, Dad. You have more face."

Shen Ke glanced back at Dugu Cheng.

Dugu Cheng nodded slightly at him.

The two were of one mind.

Suddenly, a male voice came from outside the door, very low, "My dear in-law, are you awake?"

Without even opening the door, one could tell it was Jing Hong.

Shen Tianyu did not respond.

Hearing Jing Hong say again, "My dear in-law, little Jing Bai misses you so much. As soon as he opened his eyes this morning, he started crying and wanted to find you. When he couldn't find you, he refused to drink his milk powder and cried nonstop."

Shen Tianyu frowned slightly.

Listen, is this human language?

When a baby wakes up, it looks for its mother; it wouldn't look for another man.
