Era: The naive beauty charmed the villain!

Lin An'an returned from school after a day of classes.

As soon as she stepped into her own yard, she saw Lin Jincheng secretly wink at her.

Lin An'an was confused and looked in the direction Lin Jincheng indicated.

She found Gu Qingsong sitting on a small stool next to the woodpile with his back to her.

It was close to his own small vegetable garden, where he would sit and pick vegetables after chopping firewood.

But at this moment, Gu Qingsong did nothing but stare blankly at the neatly stacked pile of firewood, sitting quietly in a daze.

It was as if time had stopped, and everything around him was irrelevant.

Lin An'an couldn't help but frown; this man was behaving very strangely.

In the past, Gu Qingsong was very energetic and always had a keen eye for things when he was at home.

Let alone sitting quietly lost in thought, he can't stop moving at all except when he's sleeping.

And they are always very vigilant.

Every time she returned from school and opened the courtyard gate, if Gu Qingsong was home, he would always be the first to walk towards her with a smile to greet her.

But she had been standing in the courtyard for quite a while today, and Gu Qingsong hadn't moved an inch, completely unaware of her presence.

Lin Jincheng leaned close to Lin An'an's ear and whispered, "He suddenly came back shortly after you left this morning."

"He won't answer when asked. He's like a ghost. He didn't eat lunch. He's been sitting there ever since he finished chopping wood and hasn't moved."

Lin An'an was instantly agitated when she heard that Gu Qingsong hadn't even eaten lunch.

This man has always had a good appetite, but perhaps due to his early experiences, he particularly dislikes the feeling of hunger.

It's almost dinnertime now, and he only had two bowls of porridge and three steamed buns this morning.

Plus, after chopping so much firewood all at once and engaging in so much physical activity, they must have been starving by now, right?

The problem seems to be very serious.

Lin An'an moved closer to Gu Qingsong and tentatively asked in a low voice, "Brother Qingsong, what's wrong?"

Gu Qingsong came to his senses and was stunned to see Lin An'an.

"Wife, why are you back?"

Before Lin An'an could answer, Gu Qingsong glanced at the sky and realized what was going on.

"Honey, you're home from school? It's so late, are you hungry? I'll go make you some food."

After Gu Qingsong finished speaking, he was about to stand up and go to the kitchen to cook, but his body, which had been in one position for a long time, was already stiff. When he suddenly stood up, his legs went numb and he almost fell.

Lin An'an was so frightened that she immediately supported him. Fortunately, the man reacted quickly and regained his balance after only swaying for a moment.

"Brother Qingsong, don't worry, Jincheng has already prepared the meal. You didn't eat lunch, are you hungry?"

Seeing his condition, Lin An'an was not in a hurry to ask what had happened. She just wanted to take good care of Gu Qingsong and make sure he ate well.

Holding his wife's soft little hand, Gu Qingsong composed himself and forced down the chaotic thoughts that had been running through his mind all day.

He forced a smile and said with a slight laugh, "I'm fine, honey, you go and sit down first, I'll go and bring out the food."

Lin An'an couldn't stop him, and she didn't feel comfortable letting Gu Qingsong go alone, so she had no choice but to go with him.

After bringing out the food, Gu Qingsong carried the children to the dining table, put them in high chairs, and let them eat by themselves.

Lin An'an looked at the man who seemed to have returned to his usual self, and silently exchanged a glance with Lin Jincheng.

Although he seemed to be behaving normally, she could sense that this man was acting very strangely!

After dinner, Gu Qingsong took care of the children, while Lin An'an and Lin Jincheng helped clean up the dishes.

Once inside the kitchen, Lin Jincheng whispered, "An'an, he still seems a little off."

Lin An'an nodded solemnly, "Something is definitely wrong. I'll ask him about it in detail later."

Both children get their clothes dirty to some extent while eating, especially Waa, who always makes a mess of his clothes while eating, like a battle.

Fortunately, Lin Jincheng sewed well-fitting smocks for both children. After meals, they only needed to take off the smocks, wipe them down, and tidy them up a bit, so they could change clothes less often.

When Lin An'an came out of the kitchen, Gu Qingsong had already tidied up the two children.

After Lin Jincheng came out, Lin An'an took the children into the room and asked Lin Jincheng to watch over them.

The children usually play with their parents in the yard for a while after dinner, but today they were taken into the room early, which made them quite unhappy.

Seeing that Waawa was about to protest, Lin Jincheng quickly took out toys and calmed the children down.

Gu Qingsong is acting strangely today. Lin An'an has important things to do and can't let the two children hold her back.

When Lin An'an entered the room, Gu Qingsong was sitting inside, lost in thought.

He had long expected Lin An'an to come looking for him, but as soon as he sat down in the room, he couldn't help but immerse himself in his own thoughts again.

It wasn't until Lin An'an pushed the door open and came in that he snapped out of his daze and looked up.
