"Okay, okay, you are still sick, don't be so polite. Although this is the first time we meet, I have known you for a long time." Li Yaqing said, and handed the things in her hand to Fang Yi, "This is what I asked my mother to prepare. There is a bowl of porridge in it, which my mother cooked for Qianze. The rest is for you. Since it has to be delivered here, the food is simple, so don't dislike it."

"It's good to have something to eat, how can I dislike it." Fang Yi took the lunch box, helped Du Qianze set the table, and took out the porridge and placed it in front of him.

"That's good, your brother and I sneaked out when Dad wasn't paying attention. We didn't find a parking space downstairs, so we can't stay for long. You guys eat slowly, I'll go back first." Li Yaqing was not familiar with Du Qianze. After saying a few words to Du Qianze, she got up and left.

Fang Yi sent Li Yaqing out, and turned back to find Du Qianze wiping tears with a tissue.

He heard that Du Qianze had been kicked out for many years. If he hadn't fallen ill this time, he would definitely not have been able to eat the food made by his mother, so Fang Yi could understand that he cried over the porridge. Fang Yi ignored him and sat quietly beside him to eat.

Du Qianze came out in the afternoon. It was probably because the medicine hadn't taken effect yet, so his steps were a little weak, and Fang Yi helped him upstairs.

"Video." Du Qianze lay on the sofa and shouted to Fang Yi weakly.

"Don't worry." Fang Yi adjusted the video and handed it to Du Qianze. Zhou Chongwen knew that Father Du of the Du family was the most difficult to deal with, so the instructions given to these little animals were to focus on conquering those who had the worst attitude towards them, and to try to be cute to others.

Du Qianze took the phone and found that the camera inside was shaking badly. The little puppy kept shaking around Father Du, and the little kitten was sleeping in Father Du's arms.

The puppy saw that there were no familiar friends around, and was very anxious. He wanted to find the kitten in Father Du's arms, but it was too small to climb up, so he had to whimper around Father Du's legs.

Father Du didn't want to pay attention to the puppy, and shouted to Du Jiamo to come and take the puppy away. Du Jiamo replied that he was playing with Little Bandit and had no time, so he asked Father Du to deal with it himself.

Father Du stared at the puppy for a long time. The puppy squatted on the ground, looked at Father Du seriously, then stood up and gently patted Father Du's legs. His attitude was very cautious, which made Father Du sigh, and he bent down to take the puppy up.

The puppy found the kitten, ran to it and lingered for a while, nudged the kitten with its nose. The kitten was already familiar with the puppy, and knew that it was the puppy playing with it, so it did not move, but just swung its tail. The puppy circled around the kitten for a while, and when the kitten ignored it, it lay down beside the kitten, leaning against it, and looked like a furry little pillow.

Father Du looked down at the cat and dog in his arms, stretched out his hand, and hesitated for a long time before gently patting them. The puppy was sleeping soundly and continued to snore.

"My dad treats them so well." Du Qianze said with envy. When he was a child, Father Du often coaxed him to sleep like this.

"Just treat them well. Let them stay at your house for a while and get familiar with your dad. When you go home, they can help you." Fang Yi packed Du Qianze's things and helped Du Qianze to bed.

"I'm not sleepy, I'll lie here for a while. It's a pity that I can't make dinner for you." He was still thinking about making some delicious food today and sending Fang Yi away after he was full.

"It's okay, I'll go out and buy some later. Your mother is a great cook—the food is delicious." Although Mother Du's cooking wasn't as refined as restaurant dishes, it had a comforting, homey quality that made people feel at ease.

"Well, my mother's cooking is delicious," Du Qianze nodded, a hint of sadness in his expression.

Whenever he was sick in the past, Mother Du would go to the market to buy a live chicken and stew it for an entire morning. Once the chicken soup was ready, she would use it to make porridge for him. The aroma was rich, and the texture was soft—so comforting that even when he had no appetite, he could still manage to eat two bowls.

In recent years, whenever he fell ill, what he missed most was Mother Du's chicken porridge. Today, suddenly getting to eat it again felt almost unreal.

"Today your brother told me about your father." Fang Yi told Du Qianze exactly what Du Jiamo said.

"So that's it." After Du Qianze heard it, the long-standing doubts in his heart were finally solved. In fact, he had always been very strange. Father Du was a university teacher, and his ideas should not be so stale. Why did he hate his things so much? It turned out to be because of these things.

"Have you thought of a way?" Looking at Du Qianze's expression, Fang Yi asked.

"No." Du Qianze shook his head, but knowing that Father Du was not born to be averse to this matter, Du Qianze felt that he still had hope. As for how to do it, he had not yet decided.

In the evening, Mother Du had just finished cooking when there was a knock on the door. After a few shouts outside, the kitten and puppy sleeping in Father Du's arms got up and ran away from Father Du's arms when they heard Fang Yi's voice. The puppy had short legs and almost rolled down. Little Bandit also jumped out of Xiao Xuan's arms. The three of them gathered and ran to the door. So when Mother Du walked to the door, she saw the three little animals squatting neatly at the door, looking outside eagerly.

When Little Bandit saw Mother Du, it seemed to remember something and touched the kitten and puppy with its head. The three of them ran back to the house together.

"Hello." Mother Du opened the door and saw Fang Yi standing at the door.

"I'm here to take Little Bandit home. Also, thank you for the lunch." Fang Yi handed the lunch box to Mother Du.

Mother Du took the lunch box and before she could say anything, she heard a noise. Little Bandit came out with skateboards. Seeing Fang Yi, they ran faster and pushed the skateboard to Fang Yi's feet.

"Thank you for taking care of them. It's time for them to go home and sleep. Let's come back tomorrow." Fang Yi said, without waiting for Mother Du to answer, he squatted down, put Little Bandit in the bag, and left with the skateboard.
