Be affectionate

Gu Xi returned to the room, closed the door, and took out the phone.

[Xiao Xi, I am mother. 】

After carefully looking at the text message, she was sitting in the bedroom with no lights on, surrounded by the breath of the Lin family, and it was all the warmth that the Lin family gave her.

She slowly slowed down the strength of her whitish fingertips on the phone, and then typed a line:

[I don't have a mother. 】

The finger hung on the sending position for a long time, and finally deleted this line of words and the text message together.

That strange number was also dragged into the blacklist by her.

Because of this text message and "Mom" that appeared suddenly, Gu Xi had no appetite for dinner, and was afraid that Grandpa Lin and Lin You would be worried, so she still ate a lot.

As a result, she couldn't digest after eating, and she was so uncomfortable that she didn't sleep well all night.

At three o'clock in the morning, she was awakened by a strong sense of vomiting, and as soon as she entered the bathroom, she vomited out all the food she had eaten at night.

After vomiting, although the feeling of nausea was relieved, the stomach still didn't let her go, and the sharp pain lasted all night.

Gu Xi had never had such a severe stomachache before. After rinsing his mouth, he curled up on the bed, sweating all over his body. He didn't know how long he had to endure before falling into a shallow dream.

She had a dream that made her very uncomfortable.

Meng dragged Gu Xi back to the day when her mother didn't want her.

The dream was a little fuzzy and distorted. In the old house of her grandparents, her mother was sitting on the sofa wearing high heels, her legs crossed and her face couldn't be seen clearly, but she could also feel the woman's boredom and impatience.

"Mom and Dad, logically speaking, it is not appropriate for me to call you the second elder now, but anyway, your second elder was good to me before, so you should understand that I am not yet thirty this year. A child, not to mention remarriage, even at work, it is difficult to have room for promotion. It has been two years since I divorced your son. The child was awarded to him back then. Now he killed someone and ran away with his tail between his legs, but Gu Xi It's the seed of your old Gu's family, so you should be responsible anyway."

"But Xiaoxi no longer has a father, and can no longer be without a mother..." This was the voice of grandma.

At that time, grandma was not yet sick, and her voice was filled with distressed and restrained crying.

The woman sneered softly, and said in an indifferent tone: "What can't be done? There are so many children in this world who have no father or mother, and they still live well? Do you want me to give up for such a child?" My own life? Doesn't everyone have only one life?"

"Xiaoxi was born in October of your pregnancy, don't you have the slightest desire to be a mother?!"

"My biggest regret is that I gave birth to her!"

"How can you say such things in front of children! You are about to be struck by lightning!"

The quarrel escalated, and the voices of both sides became louder and louder.

Gu Xi's ears were suddenly covered, and the voice in the dream became distant and blurred, and she couldn't hear clearly.

In the last scene of the dream, the woman picked up her bag and left heartlessly.

In the dream, Gu Xi was the same as back then. She was so grateful that she burst into tears with great panic. She wanted to hold her mother's hand, but was slapped away by the woman.

"Mom...can you take me away? Mom!"

What she begged for was the woman's cold and disgusted eyes.

Gu Xi was trapped in her young and weak body, unable to do anything, she didn't even dare to cry loudly, for fear of being hated by others.

She hugged her trembling self, as if she had been abandoned at the end of the world.

The dream contracted suddenly, and she woke up.

The first time she woke up, she saw Lin You's ugly doll smiling at her.

The sadness all over her chest was still urging her to ache, Gu Xi hugged the ugly baby tightly, and shed all her tears into its arms.

In the morning, after crying silently, the heavy pain eased slightly.

"Well……"

Gu Xi groaned softly, let go of the ugly baby, and stroked its head.

It's like Lin You is protecting her...

Gu Xi let out a long sigh of relief, felt that the stomach was not so uncomfortable, adjusted her mood, got up and took a shower.

Because of that text message, Gu Xi was restless for the next few days.

When she was doing questions, when eating, and even when she was washing, she would unconsciously take out her mobile phone to take a look.

Although she knew that the phone number had been blocked by her, and she couldn't send text messages or call in, she still felt unspeakable uneasiness and anxiety.

At the same time, Gu Xi really wanted to know why the person who had disappeared for so many years suddenly came back to contact her as a mother.

It was that woman who said she didn't want me back then, and now it's that woman who contacts me by calling me mother.

Do you think that I have survived to such an adult now, and want to get back the mother-daughter relationship?

Didn't she remarry and have another child after so many years?Why are you still looking for me?

There are many thoughts in Gu Xi's mind, but he can't think of an answer.

These chaotic and complicated thoughts entangled Gu Xi, causing her to fall into nightmares almost every night, constantly dreaming of the scene of her mother leaving her, and kept being brought back to the most helpless childhood.

Because of the nightmare, Gu Xi's sleep quality became extremely poor, and she would be awakened by the nightmare after finally falling asleep.

Repeatedly, almost insomnia.

Lin You clearly noticed Gu Xi's abnormality and anxiety these days.

That day, she saw that Gu Xi's face changed after reading the text message, but at night, her face was normal, as if nothing happened.

Lin You guessed that Gu Xi didn't want to say it, so she tried a few words, but Gu Xi also confused her.

She watched Gu Xi's mental state getting worse day by day, and Lin You's mood was also dragged back and forth by her.

When the two of them were writing the paper together, she sat beside Gu Xi, and she obviously saw Gu Xi's face shrinking rapidly. She thought that Gu Xi was sick again, so she couldn't help but touch Gu Xi's forehead with her hand.

"Why?" Gu Xi was taken aback by Lin You's touch unexpectedly.

Lin You frowned, and said worriedly: "You look very pale, are you sick? Tell me if you feel uncomfortable."

Gu Xi shook her head, her eyes fell on other places, and said softly: "No."

After finishing speaking, he felt that he was too indifferent, and explained again: "Maybe I haven't slept well in the past two days, and I have a little insomnia, so my complexion is not good."

"Aren't you a little bad?" Lin You pinched Gu Xi's shoulders and told her to turn to look at him, and found that Gu Xi's eyes were black and blue like never before, and there were many red bloodshots in the whites of his eyes.

Is it bad sleep or no sleep at all?

"Don't do the questions first." Lin You pulled Gu Xi up, pulled her to the side of the bed, pressed her to lie down, and covered her with the quilt.

"Close your eyes and sleep for a while, be obedient."

Gu Xi buried her face in the quilt and looked at Lin You: "Sleep now, won't you be more sleepy at night?"

"If you don't sleep now, you will suffer from insomnia at night. Why don't you catch up on sleep and let's talk about things at night." Lin You covered her eyes with warm palms and closed them, "Hurry up and sleep, don't talk anymore gone."

Feeling Lin You's temperature, Gu Xi obediently closed her eyes.

She thought it was impossible for her to fall asleep. Although she was very tired, she would be awakened by nightmares as soon as she fell asleep these days. Sometimes it seemed like she had a stress response. She was obviously sleepy and tired, no matter what Can't sleep normally either.

But at this moment, with Lin You by her side, she felt sleepy just a few minutes after she closed her eyes.

Trying to catch the rare drowsiness, Gu Xi fell into a deep and peaceful sleep.

Seeing that Gu Xi was fast asleep, Lin You slowly left the bed, took out her mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Ms. Qin who was going out to attend the reception again.

【Where did you put your melatonin? 】

Within 2 minutes, Ms. Qin replied: [It's in the drawer of my bedside table, what's wrong?you insomnia? 】

Lin You: [No, Gu Xi can't sleep well at night, your melatonin is not very effective, I'll give her a try. 】

Lin You went out lightly, went upstairs and found Ms. Qin's melatonin and came back. Gu Xi was still sleeping, but apparently not as peacefully as before.

Lin You walked to Gu Xi's bed, stretched out his hand to gently caress the top of Gu Xi's head, Gu Xi's originally frowning brows were slowly relaxed because of her touch.

Why do you look like a child, do you need someone to coax you to sleep?

Lin You laughed to himself, bent down, and looked closer at Gu Xi's face.

Gu Xi who was asleep was not as tense as when he was awake, and his relaxed appearance was completely defenseless.

Lin You stretched out her hand and poked Gu Xi's face, the touch was tender and soft. She looked at Gu Xi like this, and her heart beat slowly accelerated involuntarily.

Lin You straightened up, covered his heart, and looked down strangely.

The last time Gu Xi was hospitalized, she had a check-up by the way. Her heart was fine, but why did she always have a sudden heartbeat from time to time?

And every time my heart feels uncomfortable, it seems to be related to Gu Xi...

Gu Xi slept until almost evening before waking up.

It gets dark early in winter, and it's completely dark before six o'clock.

The headlights in the room were not turned on, Lin You only turned on the lamp on the desk, the light was soft and not glaring.

"you're awake?"

Hearing Gu Xi's voice, Lin You immediately came over and asked her how she was sleeping.

Gu Xi propped herself up, she slept surprisingly peacefully this time, and seemed to have a dream again in the middle, but she couldn't remember the content of the dream at all.

When I woke up now, I didn't feel sleepy and tired, but rather refreshed.

"Are you sitting here all afternoon?" Gu Xi looked at Lin You, a little annoyed that she had slept for so long.

"I don't feel like time flies when I'm doing my homework, but my homework progress is faster than yours."

Lin You didn't think it was boring to sleep with Gu Xi, but it was rare for him to calm down and digest a lot of homework.

Gu Xi got up, washed her face and became more sober.

I don't know if she was full of sleep, but when she and Lin You had dinner with Grandpa Lin, her appetite obviously improved a lot. She ate a whole bowl of rice and drank soup.

Hiccupping lightly, Gu Xi rubbed her eyes and wanted to go back to her room to write some papers, but was stopped by Lin You.

"What papers are you doing? You should take a good rest today." Lin You took her hand and asked, "How are you, are you still sleepy?"

Gu Xi shook her head, said with a smile, "I've slept for almost a day, how can I still be sleepy."

"Since you're not sleepy, why don't you play games with me for a while? I've almost finished my English papers today, so just treat it as a reward for me?"

Gu Xi thought it was the little game Lin You played last time, so she nodded, "That's fine."

Unexpectedly, unlike the game Lin You played last time, this game is a real-time battle, with weapon aiming and vision control. Gu Xi was a little confused when he came up, and lost several games in a row.

Originally, Lin You just wanted to play games with Gu Xi to divert her attention, but when she saw Gu Xi stumbled around in the game in a daze, she was even more overjoyed.

Gu Xi squinted at her, "Would it be a sense of accomplishment for you to beat me who never played games?"

Lin You stretched out his index finger and waved it, "You don't understand, this is the joy of abusing food."

Gu Xi nodded suddenly, "I understand, I am also happy every time the test results come out."

Lin You: "..."

The two played until after eleven o'clock in the evening. Gu Xi finally figured out the way of the game, and after a few draws with Lin You, he turned defeat into victory.

After being suppressed by Lin You all night, after winning, Gu Xi happily pushed Lin You.

Unexpectedly, Lin You was originally unstable because of the game center, Lin You was pushed to one side by Gu Xi, and Gu Xi's center of gravity shifted with her, and the two screamed and stacked on the carpet.

When Lin You turned around, the tip of their noses almost touched.

Gu Xi's eyes suddenly rounded up, and she hurriedly supported the sofa behind her, opening the distance between the two of them.

"Are you so happy to win me once? Have you forgotten the last time you helped me clear the level?"

Being so close to Gu Xi, Gu Xi even wanted to bump into her arms, which made Lin You a little surprised and a little inexplicably happy.

Gu Xi got up with a blushing face, and said in a calm tone, "I'm going to wash an apple and eat it, do you want it?"

Lin You didn't bother her either, she wrote the questions for a day and played games all night.At this moment, she was already sleepy, but she guessed that Gu Xi still couldn't fall asleep.

Lin You didn't want to leave Gu Xi alone and go to sleep alone. Although she didn't know why Gu Xi was distressed, she wanted to be with Gu Xi so that Gu Xi would have no time to worry.

Lin You yawned and said, "Go ahead, I don't eat apples, so help me get another can of Coke when I come back."

"it is good."

At this point, Grandpa Lin had already fallen asleep, so Gu Xi kept his voice down as much as possible when he went downstairs.

She went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took out the apples from the fresh-keeping box and put them under the tap to rinse, the phone vibrated.

Her heart lifted instantly.

Putting the apple aside, Gu Xi wiped her hands, and was a little apprehensive and nervous when she slowly took out the phone.

Taking a deep breath, I made all the preparations and looked at the screen.

It turned out that there was no text message on the screen, but a timed reminder.

【Three ten minutes later, it will be Lin You's birthday. 】

Gu Xi's heart fell back into his stomach for a moment, and patted his forehead in frustration the next moment.

Confused by that text message, she hasn't picked out a gift for Lin You yet!

Before, Gu Xi also thought of a lot of things that Lin You would like, but whether it was game cassettes or dolls, Lin You had basically collected all of them.

Gu Xi wanted to do something by himself, but after thinking about it, he was not very satisfied.

She glanced at the clock, and it was Lin You's birthday in half an hour.

Gu Xi stood there and hesitated for a moment, then returned to the refrigerator.

Lin You played two more rounds in the room, but before Gu Xi came up, it was already twelve o'clock.

"Why did it take so long?"

Lin You frowned and just wanted to go downstairs to have a look, when Gu Xi opened the door and came in.

Gu Xi was holding a small plate in his hand, which looked like a small cake with a pink rose on it.

"Happy birthday."

Gu Xi smiled at Lin You, half an hour is too late to make a cake, Gu Xi can only use muffins as a substitute, stick the fried muffins with cream layer by layer, and then spread the cream on the periphery , It really looks like a small cake.

After decorating the fruit, Gu Xi couldn't find a suitable candle, so she picked the best pink rose from the vase in the living room, washed it and inserted it obliquely on the muffin.

"The time is a bit rushed, so it may not be very good-looking." Gu Xi blamed himself.

This is Lin You's birthday. She has nothing but bad luck, so she can only give Lin You such a simple gift.

Unexpectedly, Lin You was very pleasantly surprised, and his voice raised, "How could it be! It's so beautiful, isn't it!"

She didn't expect that Gu Xi went for such a long time to prepare a birthday cake for her!

Gu Xi personally made the cake!

"Is this really edible?" Lin You asked cautiously holding the small cake.

"Of course." Gu Xi was amused by her, "I just don't know if it's good or not."

As soon as Gu Xi finished speaking, Lin You took a hard bite, as if he wanted to swallow the cake in one go.

"Slow down, don't choke!" Gu Xi hurriedly persuaded her.

Lin You said "delicious" vaguely, while holding Gu Xi's hand, he was very happy, his eyes were covered with a layer of sparkle.

Seeing her so moved, Gu Xi felt even more guilty.

She wanted to give Lin You the best things in the world, but now she is poor and miserable, and being able to accompany Lin You to adulthood is already a gift from God to her.

Lin You held her hand, with a little bit of cream still on his lips, staring at Gu Xi's gaze softened Gu Xi's heart.

"Do you know." Lin You said, "Knowing you is my best gift."
