Chapter 1836 Pulling the Hook

Gu Hanye sent a message to A Fei, telling him the time of his return and asking him to make preparations in advance.

Then he muted his phone so that he wouldn't think about the Chen Xiaofeng case anymore.

He took a deep breath, buried his face in Jiuyao's neck, breathed in the faint sweet scent from her body, and fell into sleep.

I agreed not to think about it, but the fragmented memories of my childhood were pieced together in my dreams.

He dreamed of his mother and his childhood.

He was like a bystander, observing the interactions between himself and his mother in his memory.

That was in the small villa on the outskirts of Haicheng. He and his mother lived there during the last period of his mother's life.

Gu Hanye opened the study door and saw his mother sitting in front of the black piano by the window, with the little boy sitting next to his mother.

He was only four or five years old. Sitting on the piano stool, his feet did not touch the ground and were dangling in the air.

His mother was teaching him to play the piano when he was a child.

The song was very simple. He learned it after his mother demonstrated it twice. He played it according to the music score. Although he was not very skilled, he could still play the melody.

After he finished playing the song, he turned to look at his mother and said, "I learned it. Mom, can you accompany me to build the space shuttle?"

His mother smiled and rubbed the top of his head, "Okay, okay, I'll go with you to fight for the plane."

So his mother took him to his own little study.

There are many planet models in the room, and of course models of various aircraft.

The little boy sat on the floor with his mother. He sat next to his mother and with her help, they assembled the space shuttle together.

After assembling the wings, the mother said, "Aye, Mom may have to go to a very far place. You will have to assemble the building blocks by yourself in the future..."

"Can't I come with you?"

His mother rubbed his head with her chin and said, "That place is far away. Ah Ye is still young and can't go there."

He looked up at his mother and frowned: "Mom, why are you crying?"

As he said this, he put down the plane, reached out his hand, and wiped his mother's tears very gently.

"Mom's eyes aren't feeling well," his mother kissed his fingers and said with a smile, "Our Ah Ye is so gentle. He always wipes Mom's tears so gently. Ah Ye will definitely meet a very good girl in the future."

"I don't want girls. I don't like girls." He blushed.

His mother smiled and hugged him tightly. "You will like it in the future."

He puffed up his cheeks: "Unless she is as gentle, beautiful, and fragrant as you..."

His mother smiled and patted him on the back.

Then he hugged his mother's neck and asked, "When are you leaving?"

"Maybe... after I help Ah Ye put this space shuttle together, it's time to leave..."

"When will you be back? Can I come to see you?"

“…Mom doesn’t know either.”

He pursed his lips and asked, "Is Mom still mad at Dad, so she doesn't want Ah Ye anymore?"

"No..." His mother leaned on his thin shoulders, her tears soaking his white shirt. "Mom doesn't want Ah Ye anymore."

"Then why are you leaving?"

His mother sighed, rubbed his head vigorously, and said with a smile, "Okay, Mommy's not leaving yet. Let's continue to build the space shuttle, okay?"

He stared at the plane for two seconds, dismantled the half-assembled plane, and then threw himself into his mother's arms, "You are not allowed to leave again. Ah Ye will not let you leave."

The mother closed her eyes and was silent for a long time. "Be good, don't cry. Mommy won't leave. Mommy will watch Ah Ye grow up, okay?"

"Yeah! Pinky promise!"

"Pink pinky promise." The mother stretched out her little finger and hooked it with his tender finger.

Gu Hanye sat beside the crib like a ghost, watching his little self snuggling up to his mother and starting to assemble the space shuttle again.

But before the space shuttle was completed, the mother disappeared.

Just like an old movie with dim picture quality, the picture jumped twice, and only the little him was left in the room.

He lowered his head and continued to assemble the space shuttle. When only the last brick was left, he took it apart and started again.

I did this many times, putting it together and taking it apart, until the skin on my fingers was worn off, revealing the tender red flesh.

His father walked into the room and called him, "Aye..."

He jumped off the plane, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and yelled to his father: "Why did you come so late? Why didn't you come earlier?"

His father squatted in front of him, his eyes red and his lips trembling as if he wanted to say something.

He kicked and stomped his father, "Why don't you come to see mom? Did you know that mom is sick?"

His father knelt on the ground and held him in his arms. He then hit his father's shoulders, but his father still held him tightly, silently.

Finally he leaned on his father's shoulder and cried bitterly.

Tired of crying, he fell asleep on his father's shoulder. His father then picked up the little boy and walked out of the room.

Gu Hanye really wanted to follow, but the door was locked.

The room began to spin, and countless building blocks flew around him. He tried to put them together, but he didn't know if his hands were too big, or if it was for some other reason, but no matter what he did, he couldn't put them together...

"Cold night, cold night?"

Jiuyao's voice came, and Gu Hanye suddenly woke up, gasping, looking at her in front of him.

"What's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare?" Jiuyao leaned over and looked at him, her long hair hanging on his shoulders, her eyes full of worry.

He looked at Jiuyao quietly for a while, and his rapid breathing gradually calmed down. "It's okay, I just dreamed about my childhood, when my mother was still alive..."

Jiuyao lowered her head, kissed his furrowed brow, and then kissed his lips, "I will always be with you."

In fact, Yaoyao doesn’t know how to comfort people, but Gu Hanye can feel her tenderness and thoughtfulness from her eyes and her kiss.

Gu Hanye helped her put her hair behind her ears. "My mom said I would definitely meet a very good girl, and it turns out it's you."

Jiuyao smiled and said, "My grandma also said that I would definitely meet an excellent boy, and it turns out to be you."

Gu Hanye also smiled, then said to her apologetically, "By the way, Yaoyao, we may not be able to go to Wachau and Salzburg."

"Is there an emergency back home?"

Gu Hanye explained that Chen Xiaofeng's case required his appearance in court, then stroked her cheek with his fingertips, "I had already promised you..."

Jiuyao smiled and held his face. "It's okay. Besides, it's good to keep some memories. We can go again next time."

Gu Hanye sighed secretly, not knowing what to say, so he turned his face and kissed her fingertips: "Okay, let's go next time."

He glanced at the time and found that only ten minutes had passed since he went to bed. "Okay, go back to sleep. We'll set off again after you've had enough sleep."

"Don't let your imagination run wild. Go to sleep, okay?"

"good."

Then Jiuyao turned around and moved closer to his arms, pressing more closely against his chest.

Just holding her like this, looking at her soft facial features, feeling her warm body, Gu Hanye's depressed mood improved a lot.

But when I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep again, the scene in my dream reappeared before my eyes...
