I'm having EMO, can you help me die?

Actually, Gu Ze wasn't feeling too comfortable either; it was a feeling he couldn't quite put his finger on.

Shen Qingqing ignored him, took off her shoes, and went upstairs.

Back when she was at home, Gu Jing always kept an eye on her and wouldn't let her run around barefoot on the ground.

"Madam! Madam! Put your shoes on. The master told you not to run around with your shoes off."

The old housekeeper wore reading glasses and held a notebook filled with the couple's daily habits.

The notebook was yellowed, and the last few pages were clearly newly added. The handwriting was different from the previous ones, so it was obviously not written by the same person.

The last few items read:

The beginning of the menstrual period;

Make sure she goes to bed early at night and doesn't stay up late;

……

Unfortunately, Shen Qingqing's period started tonight.

She has a special constitution, and she experiences severe pain every time she has her period. In the past, Gu Jing would specially go downstairs to brew her brown sugar ginger tea and massage her stomach at night.

It hurts! It hurts! I'm so angry!

[Host, go make yourself a bowl of brown sugar water and drink it; that should make you feel better.]

But Shen Qingqing wouldn't listen to it at all.

She remained motionless despite the pain. The room was closed, and only a few rays of moonlight shone through the window onto Shen Qingqing.

Looking at Shen Qingqing, Xiao Lan wondered if Shen Qingqing was deliberately trying to make her feel pain, or if it was simply because she was lazy.

In the middle of the night, Shen Qingqing was in so much pain that she couldn't sleep. She sat up, rested her head on her lap, and cried.

In the quiet night, even though Shen Qingqing was holding back her tears, the sound of crying could still be heard.

Why don't you go downstairs and drink some hot water?

I'm scared.

What are you afraid of?

Xiao Lan doesn't think Shen Qingqing is timid.

【I'm scared, so what!】

Everyone says girls shouldn't talk about their periods, and now that I have it, I'm crying even harder.

Apart from the bodyguards, there was no one else at the Gu family home that night...

Shen Qingqing was scared...

Ever since Gu Jing left, she has felt an inexplicable fear.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Ma'am, are you asleep?"

An old voice came from the doorway.

The phone screen lit up instantly. Shen Qingqing opened her phone and saw the message that Butler Zhao had sent her.

She walked to the door and saw two elderly figures standing outside through the peephole.

One is Butler Zhao, and the other is Grandma Zhao.

Gu Jing had introduced her to the room before, so she opened the door with peace of mind.

"Madam, this is brown sugar ginger tea specially made for you."

Shen Qingqing wanted to say that she didn't like drinking it, but before she could say it, Grandma Zhao pulled her into the room, while Butler Zhao stood at the door without coming in.

"My husband told me that drinking brown sugar ginger tea would make my stomach feel much better."

As he spoke, he handed the tea to Shen Qingqing, his face full of seriousness.

"Drink it while it's hot; it's good for your health."

Shen Qingqing still listens to the elders.

There's a saying that goes, "Those who don't heed the advice of their elders will suffer the consequences."

Shen Qingqing sat on the bed, and Grandma Zhao handed her a steaming cup of tea and took out a few hand warmers from her backpack.

Tearing open a heat pack, I placed it on Shen Qingqing's lower abdomen, leaving it on her clothes.

He then walked to the door, opened it, and took the kettle from Butler Zhao's hand.

"Madam, this is hot water, it's just boiled, I've put it here."

"Go to sleep after you finish drinking."

Grandma Zhao took the bowl that Shen Qingqing had finished drinking from, poured some hot water, and placed it by the bedside.

Grandma has passed away.

"Ah."

The door is closed.

You can still hear sounds fading away outside.

"You can sleep in the guest room tonight, and you can sleep in the other one."

I want to sleep with you.

You snore.

The room gradually quieted down.

Shen Qingqing felt much better in her stomach, closed her eyes, and tears streamed down her cheeks.

I can't sleep, I can't sleep, I can't sleep.

She really couldn't sleep; as soon as she closed her eyes, tears would stream down her face.

If you had drunk it earlier, you wouldn't have suffered so much.

【You control me. 】

Shen Qingqing hugged her blanket and couldn't sleep all night.

The sky outside brightened up without us noticing.

"So annoying! I can't sleep."

Shen Qingqing sat up, rubbed her hair, and then lay down again.

Aren't you going to get up for breakfast?

The Gu family has a very fixed schedule of three meals a day, which was arranged when Gu Jing was alive.

Shen Qingqing didn't understand why breakfast had to be prepared at seven o'clock, even if no one ate it.

After a moment of hysteria, she dragged her tired body and called two servants at the door to help her wash up.

She doesn't want to do anything; even if she has money, she doesn't need to lift a finger.

I went there and everything was packed.

Downstairs lobby.

"Madam is coming down soon. Everyone, get ready and set out the food in the kitchen."

Butler Zhao was directing things from below.

Grandma Zhao sat on the sofa and knitted clothes.

It was a heartwarming scene. There weren't this many people when Gu Jing was here, but a huge crowd surged in after he left.

Shen Qingqing felt a warm feeling in her body as she watched.

He muttered under his breath, "Gu Jing, a liar."

Grandma Zhao kept a close eye on Shen Qingqing. When she saw her come down, she immediately stopped what she was doing and ran to the kitchen to bring out a bowl of brown sugar water.

"Madam, have a cup, it's freshly heated."

Shen Qingqing took it and drank it all in one gulp.

Grandma Zhao grew to like Shen Qingqing more and more.

She and her husband hadn't had children after all these years, and thinking about this made her feel a little sad.

She was also in poor health, and the old man was worried about her, so he didn't let her give birth.

Over the years, the person I've had the most contact with is Gu Jing.

Gu Jing is a cold person and doesn't usually go home.

After he left, Shen Qingqing was left alone in the house.

She was worried, and the old man even hinted to her, intentionally or unintentionally, that she should come and take care of the family.

I met this child last night and saw how pitiful he was, living here all by himself. I've decided to stay here long-term to take care of him.

All of this was because before leaving, he had instructed Butler Zhao to bring Grandma Zhao over to keep Shen Qingqing company.

These are all things that happened later, and Shen Qingqing naturally didn't know about them.

After breakfast, Shen Qingqing received a text message that roughly meant the case had been secretly investigated, the authorities had given an explanation, and the actions of the missing people had all been exposed to the public, while the person who eliminated the evil had not left their name.

The only unexpected thing this time was that Gu's parents had already claimed to be traveling abroad, but they were found in the basement.

Neither of them pursued the matter further.

Perhaps his conscience had awakened.

Shen Qingqing's life is gradually returning to normal.

She doesn't have much of a social life; in this world, she knows and understands no one except Gu Jing.

The first day without Gu Jing was boring.

The second day without Gu Jing was still boring.

On the third day after Gu Jing left, Gu Ze came to see her.

They said they were going to hold a wedding and invited her to attend.

She didn't want to participate, but thinking of Gu Jing, as an elder, she still had to go.

Mr. and Mrs. Gu also went.

This was also the first time they had met Shen Qingqing.

Shen Qingqing didn't think too much about it until she saw the two of them.

[I don't know any of these relatives, not even Gu Jing's parents!]

I have social anxiety.

Is it too late to go back now?

"You must be Shen Qingqing?"

A good-looking middle-aged woman suddenly struck up a conversation with her.

"No, who are you?"

The person on the other end seemed a little confused. "That's not right. I've seen the photos before. Xiao Jing told me about them."

Judging from the tone of her voice, Shen Qingqing felt that the other person might be Gu Jing's mother.

"Auntie, just kidding, I am Shen Qingqing."

"Why call me Auntie? Call me Mom. Xiao Jing married such a beautiful wife, but he didn't even bring her to show us."

As she said this, a hint of sadness and self-reproach flashed in the woman's eyes.

"Come, sit with me."

And so Shen Qingqing was pulled to sit at the table with the elders.

[That's it! I don't recognize them at all!]
