Being Overwhelmed by the Villain's Food Reserve (Apocalypse)

Chapter 225

　　Gu Xichen raised his head silently and did not answer Cheng Ci's question.

　　Hearing Cheng Ci's voice, the furry head buried in Gu Xichen's arms finally let out a muffled snort, and then turned his head.

　　Cheng Ci was halfway angry, and when he took a closer look, he came face to face with the child opposite.

　　The soft and fluffy brown curly hair was completely exposed to Cheng Ci's sight, matched with the big, watery, clear eyes.

　　Cheng Ci's pupils shrank almost at a second speed. He felt that his scalp was numb and his body was even stiff.

　　"Huo... Huo... Huo..."

　　Cheng Ci's throat slid up and down, and he stuttered for a long time without being able to speak.

　　Even if he scratched his head, he would never have thought that Gu Xichen's son was actually Huo Yan.

　　After all, Ji Ling clearly told him when he woke up that it was not convenient for Huo Yan to stay in the institute, so he left with Xiao Stutter and Qiyue.

　　But why is he with Gu Xichen now? The two of them live in this "den of thieves" in the name of father and son.

　　"Dad, this uncle is so strange. Why does he keep staring at me?"

　　Huo Yan tugged on the corner of Gu Xichen's clothes and asked, tilting his head.

　　Those clear eyes seemed innocent and harmless, but when they looked at Cheng Ci, they raised the corners of their mouths strangely, as if they were deliberately covering up something.

　　This was Huo Yan's habit every time he lied. Cheng Ci suppressed the shock in his heart. He was almost sure that this little guy must know him. What about Gu Xichen? Has he really lost his memory?

　　Cheng Ci came back to his senses, quickly changed the words on his lips, and said with a smile: "Hey, this kid is really smart."

　　The corner of Gu Xichen's mouth twitched quietly twice, and he bent down to hug Huo Yan, letting the small figure in front of him block his almost unbearable face.

　　Huo Yan put his arms around Gu Xichen's neck and glanced at the chain on Cheng Ci's wrist intentionally or unintentionally, "Dad, did this uncle make any mistake? Why should he be handcuffed?"

　　Gu Xichen said "hmm" softly, but had no intention of explaining.

　　At this moment, a quarrel suddenly broke out outside the door.

　　"what happened?"

　　"Boss, this brat injured one of our people."

　　Cheng Ci turned his head and saw that Qi Run was surrounded by everyone, with his chin raised proudly.

　　"You can't even look at two people, they're a bunch of losers!" The man with the flowery arm walked over with a gloomy expression.

　　Cheng Ci spoke leisurely from behind: "This apprentice of mine has been spoiled by me and has a bit of a hot temper. Don't get hurt by him. Oh, by the way, don't get hurt by him either."

　　The flower-armed man choked at Cheng Ci's joking tone. He glanced at him coldly, turned to Gu Xichen and said, "Keep an eye on him." Then he took the ax he put on the table and walked out.

　　For a moment, only Gu Xichen, Cheng Ci, Huo Yan and the aunt who had been taking Huo Yan were left in the room.

　　"Aunt Chen." Huo Yan rubbed his belly and pursed his lips: "I'm so hungry."
