I finally returned to my home.

No matter how much torture I endured over the years, I always held on to the thought of going home and seized every opportunity to escape.

Finally... I'm back.

When my father saw my deformed legs and half of my left hand, he cried very sadly.

I know I have always been his pride, but now, I have become his shame.

He locked me up at home and wouldn't let me go out. Actually, I didn't want to go out either, so it's no big deal.

When we were eating, he no longer put food into my bowl. All his attention was given to my little nephew Gu Jinyan, but I didn't care.

At least I have food to eat and I won’t be hungry anymore.

The servants at home like to hide and look at me secretly, with disgust and fear in their eyes.

I can understand that they dislike me, but why should they be afraid of me? I don't understand.

After that, I seldom appeared in front of them.

It's very stuffy staying in the room, which reminds me of the days when I was locked up. Fortunately, there is a small garden and a small pond behind the villa area, and I can ask Uncle Li to push me over there for a walk.

Uncle Li is not afraid of me, but the look in his eyes makes me feel uncomfortable, as if I am very pitiful.

I have food and drink, and I don’t get beaten or scolded. I’m already very happy…

However, such days are also boring.

Sometimes I look at the pond and think, if something happens to me and I fall in, I will definitely not be able to save myself, and then I will be dead.

Later, I went to the small pond every day, waiting for something unexpected to happen.

That evening, I was staring at the pool as usual, when I suddenly heard a loud sneeze. I looked around and found it was the little girl in the pavilion next to me.

Her eyes were round and bright, and there were tears in her eyes, not sure if it was because of a sneeze or because she had just woken up. She looked pitiful and cute.

I recognize her. She is the girl from the Lin family next door and also Gu Jinyan's future wife.

She had come to our house once before. Seeing that she was young, I thought she might be afraid of me, so I asked Uncle Li to push me away.

I wanted to leave this time too, but she stopped me.

She calls me "Brother Ayuan", which is very wrong. According to her relationship with Gu Jinyan, she should call me uncle.

But I didn't correct her. She would understand it when she grew up.

She was not afraid of me and spoke to me in a very familiar manner. She showed me the cake she had drawn and said that it was her birthday and she was celebrating for herself.

Out of politeness, I should have said "Happy Birthday", but I hadn't spoken for a long time and my voice must have sounded terrible. I was afraid of scaring her, so I left quickly.

The next day when I went to the pond, she was there again.

This time she smiled happily and said she drew a picture of me.

There was no trace of me in that painting. She said it was Iron Man’s armor, and she kept telling me how powerful Iron Man was, talking non-stop.

A bit noisy, but I don't mind it.

I meet her almost every day. She says she hopes she can get a magic pen so that everything she draws can become real.

I thought it was funny, but I didn't laugh.

One day I went to the small pond but didn't see her. It was dark and she still didn't come. When I came back, I found that she was having dinner with her father Gu Jinyan and others.

She was a little absent-minded and always distracted. I saw her mother secretly pinching her under the table, and I felt a little sad.

Her life seems to be more miserable than mine.

We still met at the small pond, and she drew many things for me, but I didn't want them.

After all, she will be Gu Jinyan's wife in the future, and those paintings should be given to Gu Jinyan.

In the early spring of the following year, the forsythia in the garden was in full bloom. She squatted among the flowers and painted a picture. When she ran over to hand it to me, her smile was more beautiful than the flowers.

For some unknown reason, I reached out and took it.

She jumped up with excitement, circled around me, and said that she finally got my recognition.

I wanted to deny it, but when I saw how happy she looked, I just said "hmm".

She was so excessive that she even said my voice was nice and asked me to say "hmm" a few more times.

It's spring, but I feel so hot, like summer is coming...

When summer really came, she went even further and asked me, a disabled person, to fan her to drive away mosquitoes.

Because she gave me the old popsicle she was reluctant to eat, I fanned her for the whole summer.

One day in the fall, she was a little later than usual and had a bright red slap mark on her face.

But there was no sign of crying in her eyes, and she was smiling happily.

She gave me a ginkgo leaf keychain and wished me a happy birthday.

In the past, my birthday was always celebrated by my family, but this year we didn’t, so I don’t even remember it. So how did she know?

Later, I overheard the maid chatting, and she said that she was punished at school a few days ago. It seemed that someone wanted to see her key chain, and she refused to give it, so she got into a fight with the person, and her parents were called in.

The servants also said that she had a hot temper and was not worthy of Gu Jinyan at all.

It was the first time I lost my temper at home and I fired all the servants.

But I know that I am just being willful because of my father's status...

I started picking up textbooks to study. The books Uncle Li found for me were all for junior high school. I finished them quickly and then asked him for high school and university books.

My father was very happy to hear about this and sent me a lot of professional books. I did not refuse them. I would learn anything that I could put into my brain.

That day, my father kept me company and we went to the pond a little late.

It was almost dark and I thought she wouldn't come, but I didn't expect her to fall asleep under a tree by the pond.

Although it is just the beginning of winter, the pond has not yet frozen and the temperature is still very low.

I was afraid that she was cold so I wanted to wake her up, but she suddenly woke up, mumbling nonsense in her sleep, and then her body tilted and fell into the pond.

My mind went blank and my throat, which had not spoken for a long time, could no longer make a sound.

She saw me while struggling and instinctively called out for me to save her.

But I only have one hand. If I jump down, not only will I not be able to save her, but I might also sink...

But she was calling me, how could I not go?

I shouted Uncle Li at the top of my lungs a few times, then jumped into the pond.

The water in the pool was really cold. I tried desperately to swim across, but I could only flounder in place...

When I woke up, I was already in the hospital. I was very worried about her condition, so I immediately asked Uncle Li to push me to find her.

Her father and her parents were all there.

My father got very angry and said that my life was precious and that if anything happened to me, the Lin family would not be able to compensate even if they sold all their wealth.

She was still asleep, lying in a small ball on the bed, but her mother heard what her father said and slapped her in the face.

I was immediately furious and wanted to beat this woman to death, but I couldn't. I couldn't even stand up.

I have no right to do that. That woman is her mother, and I am nothing...

I took the blame on myself and said that I pushed her.

My father was speechless, but he had to defend me and gave the Lin family a big project. Her parents were very happy and never beat her again.

When I heard that she had woken up, I secretly hid outside the ward and watched. Her mother asked her what happened, and she said she didn't remember. When I asked her other questions, she looked confused.

She doesn't remember me...

But I'm not in a hurry, I still have a lot of things to do.

For example, corrective surgery, installing prosthetic limbs, taking over the Gu family, setting up a company...

I watched her grow up little by little and become a graceful young lady. I also watched her chase after Gu Jinyan and gradually hide her edge.

I am very sad, even sadder than if she didn't remember me.

Fang Yuan said I fell in love with her.

Love or not, I have no idea.

But I know that without her in this world, I would rather drown in that pond.

I watched over her silently, year after year.

When I thought that this life would pass like this, Fang Yuan said that she came to find me...

My girl, she came to me.
