Even in your eyes, I am still a "child". However... I am her mountain and the earth.

Kesong also turned his face and called him softly, with a crying voice in his voice. However, Li Zhen held her hand and said to An Ruosu: "Sorry, Dr. An, I am not targeting you or making things difficult for you. But I really feel that Kesong also needs such treatment. She was a hostage before, but something happened later. If I hadn't asked her to accompany me, I wouldn't know she would be asked a few more times. So if possible, please react to your superiors-I don't want anything until she gets the same treatment."

Kesong's thin body shivered a little in his arms. So Li Zhen hugged her tighter.

Song Chenxiao and Li Kaiwen were stunned for a while. Then Song Chenxiao smiled a little awkwardly and said to An Ruosu: "Dr. An..."

However, the gentle woman before still showed no dissatisfaction at this moment. On the contrary, it seemed that she was the one who did the wrong thing-she stared at Li Zhen and Zhang Kesong in a daze, and then nodded quickly: "Oh...so... okay, I will definitely transfer it to you."

Then she showed that iconic, gentle smile: "It's true that we didn't think it thoroughly. Sorry. I came today just to inform you that we will start tutoring tomorrow, but that's the case..."

Her tone, coupled with her appearance, seemed to feel unbearable even if the stalwart person saw it. So Li Zhen finally said: "We are not in a hurry, Dr. An, take your time on this matter."

An Ruosu agreed repeatedly, then leaned towards Li Kaiwen slightly - clenched his fists and placed them straight in front of him, like a well-behaved female student - said, "Then I'll go back first, I won't bother you."

Now that things have come, Li Kaiwen and Song Chenxiao can only smile apologetically and say, "Where is, I'm sorry--"

Then she was sent away.

When the Li family and his wife returned to the small room, Kesong bit his lip and said softly: "Uncle and Auntie, I'm sorry."

Li Kaiwen walked up to Li Zhen and stared at him expressionlessly for a while, while Li Zhen also pursed his lips stubbornly. Then Li Kaiwen suddenly smiled and thrashed his shoulder hard: "Okay, you kid, you know you love someone."

So Li Zhen was stunned. After a while, he said, "...ah?"

He did not expect that his father would speak to himself in this tone. Although the relationship between the family in the past was also harmonious, he was still a standard "good student" at that time. His daily work was nothing more than sleeping, eating, and going to school. When he got back his good grades, his parents were of course happy, and then there were a bunch of words of encouragement.

No matter what, he is regarded as a child who has not grown up.

However, the current tone... seems to be like, invisibly, he will not be treated as a child.

He was somewhat unaccustomed to it.

Song Chenxiao pulled Kesong out of Li Zhen's arms, and smiled and pinched her face: "What are you saying?" Then he looked at Li Zhen, "My Li Zhen has grown up."

Li Kaiwen sighed slightly and patted Li Zhen on the shoulder: "It was my dad who didn't expect-yes, you've grown up."

There was a little helpless and sad in his tone.

This way of "growing up"...of course it was not what they wanted to see. Recovering from the surprise caused by their son's unexpected performance just now, the Li family and his wife realized this: Li Zhen is no longer the shy, ignorant high school student in the past.

Even as a parent, he may not be able to imagine what he has experienced in his life. The only thing worthy of gratitude is that this child has experienced so much and has not learned bad things yet. Instead, he has become more rational, mature, and even acts like a real "adult".

So they also knew that they should change their ways and try to get along with this lost son again.

Parents all hope that their children will be able to become adults soon, but they didn't expect that they would come so quickly.

Therefore, Li Kaiwen looked at the son who was almost as tall as himself and continued, "Grow up, okay. My parents are happy. When I was a child, I hoped that there would be such a day. But Li Zhen, if you have something to do, you have to practice hard, just like Dr. An just now-"

Li Zhen had already calmed down - he was ready to be unhappy and even angry just now. However, a heavy trust suddenly fell on his shoulders, which made him calm again while he was slightly happy, and even said a little shyly, waiting for his father's next words.

"You saw that Dr. An just now, a very shy little girl. You didn't have a good attitude just now. You should tell them if you have something to do, but they can't make a decision."

Li Zhen scratched her head embarrassedly: "Well, I understand."

Li Kaiwen looked at the watch again: "Your mother and I have to leave, maybe we can't get out recently. You are planning to..."

This is another problem that cannot be avoided. The incident that happened a few days ago disrupted Li Zhen’s previous series of plans - he appeared in front of the public in the secret service office before he was ready. Until now, he was simply in the northern base.

In the past, he wanted to be "recruited" and then slowly inquire about his parents. However, now he realized that his parents had become members of the Secret Service. In this situation... should he be an executive officer, or... continue to live the life of an ordinary person?

To be honest, I never considered this issue before. When I was in school, my biggest goal was to get into the Yanjing Taixue and find a good job after graduation. As for what kind of life can a good job bring to me? His most intuitive impression was just from those TV series - from high-end office buildings, staying up for one or two nights for the project, and then traveling with my family during the holidays...

Everything is hazy and not very real.

As for the rebirth... these wishes were buried in his heart by him, and the "highest ideal" was nothing more than a family reunion.

But now...

Two roads were placed in front of him, and he didn't know how to choose.

So he finally said, "Dad, I haven't thought about it yet."

Li Kaiwen nodded, then took out his cell phone from his arms and stuffed it to him: "Then once you think about it, let's talk to us. Let's discuss it well with our family."

Song Chenxiao couldn't help but sigh: "Mom doesn't want you to get involved again. I just heard about your affairs, but I was worried for a long time - how dangerous..."

Li Zhen quickly smiled: "Well, mom, I must think about it carefully."

So Li Kaiwen and Song Chenxiao hugged the son vigorously, and then the two walked out of the door.
