Chapter 707: Too Unconscious

The food Su Xiyin had cooked was already warm.
Huo Ci helped carry the dishes. Upon seeing the duo whispering, he let out an unhappy snort and bellowed, “You brat, are you gonna eat?”
Ling Sheng leaned in and whispered something in Huo Xiao’s ear. Then, she ran over and answered, “Dad, I’m coming.”
After dinner, Ling Sheng took Xiaoqi to take a shower.
Huo Ci took a box of strawberries out of the fridge and ate them as he walked. They were Snow White strawberries, the first strawberries in the fruit garden at home.
“That child, Xiaoqi, couldn’t even bear to eat them himself. He said that Grandpa likes them, so he only ate one or two a day. He plucked them and kept them for you.” Upon seeing that he was eating happily, Su Xiyin added, “You’ve only done one thing right in your life. I don’t have any other expectations from you. Just treat Sheng Sheng and Xiaoqi well.”
Xiaoqi was too sensible. Last week, the strawberries had only started to ripen. Xiaoqi had not eaten a single one. Two had even gone bad yesterday. When he had thrown them away, his heart had ached immensely.
Huo Ci only nodded casually. Then, he walked to the balcony with the strawberries and looked at his vegetable garden.
There were light fixtures specifically bought by Ling Sheng on the balcony. They were all lit up. The balcony had an automatic temperature control system, so the temperature was just right for vegetables and fruits to grow. It was as warm as a greenhouse shed.
The tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, cabbages, eggplants, chili peppers, and beans had all ripened. They looked very good, just like the high-quality vegetables sold at the market. Small vegetables were planted one after another, and they were tender and emerald green.
Huo Ci lowered his head and took a look at the strawberries in his hand. He had already eaten a few, so there were only five left. He did not know if it was because he had planted them at home, but the taste was surprisingly delicious. He gulped and reluctantly put the strawberries in his hand back. He picked a small cucumber and washed it before biting it. It was fresh and delicious.
When Huo Xiao came over, he saw him squatting in front of a strawberry plant and chewing on a cucumber. He was typing on his phone. Then, he coughed. “About the beating today… I blamed the wrong person.”
Huo Ci was eating a cucumber and was about to post about it on Weibo when he heard his father’s apology. His hand shook, and his phone fell to the ground with a bang. Before he could finish eating the cucumber, he nearly choked. A moment later, he looked up and smiled slyly. “Father, your apology is too heartless!”
Crazy!
He… He… His father, who had been stubborn all his life and had never reflected on himself, had actually apologized to him?
Had he taken the wrong medicine?
“I’ll beat you to death…” Before Huo Xiao could finish speaking, he remembered what his granddaughter had told him and pointed at him angrily. “What do you want? Do you want me to beat you up?”
“I wouldn’t dare.” Huo Ci was scared. His scalp felt numb, and a chill ran down his spine. He bent down to pick up his phone, but his mouth remained agape. “Father, are you sure you didn’t take the wrong medicine?”
“You brat! I didn’t take my medicine. Say that again? I’ll beat you to death, you scumbag!” Huo Xiao knew that he should not have listened to his good grandchild and apologized to him!
Was this even something a human would say?
Apologize his *ss!
His granddaughter had even said that he would be hurt and sad. Look at his rubbery face. Did he know what shame and sadness were?
Huo Ci nodded and said casually, “Then go back to your room and take your medicine!”
Huo Xiao waved his walking stick angrily. He really wanted to go over and give him a good beating. He was so angry that he turned around and left!
