His aunt patted his head reassuringly, her voice still gentle, "Alright, don't be sad. Auntie will take you out to play tomorrow." She remembered how happy he was when she took him out before. Although he didn't say it, the joy in his eyes was almost overflowing.
She was right. Normally, he might have been very happy, but today, this matter didn't attract his attention at all.
“Auntie, I don’t understand…” His voice was very soft, but she still heard it.
He didn't understand not only the little girl's intense dislike, but also other things...
A flicker of pain crossed her eyes, but she couldn't bring herself to say anything to comfort him.
After a long silence, she spoke softly, "It's okay, it won't happen again..."
He lowered his small head and didn't say anything.
He knew that his aunt was definitely lying to the child.
When he went out again, his Rubik's Cube was gone.
He stared at the spot where he had once lived, speechless.
The rest of his memory is much hazy. To apologize, his father bought him a new Rubik's Cube, and later bought him all sorts of things he had never played with before.
However, he no longer wanted to listen to his aunt and take the initiative to find the little girl.
The Rubik's Cube that his father bought for him was placed in a small corner and he never played with it.
As Qi Sheng recalled these things, his eyes darkened slightly. He held the dirty Rubik's Cube in his hand, his face showing the same bewilderment as it had years ago.
A hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes as he gently turned the Rubik's Cube in his hand, then casually placed it on the desk and took a tissue to wipe his dusty fingers.
He hadn't forgotten his main purpose; he was here to help Gu Luoqi find that damned notebook.
He fixed his gaze on the bed because he could vaguely see a small pink corner.
According to Gu Luoxi, what she needed was a pink notebook.
He casually pulled the blanket over himself and saw the notebook.
And next to it, there was a small pink pair of panties.
Qi Sheng kept her eyes straight ahead, casually picked up the notebook, and then pulled the blanket over herself, covering herself with something slightly embarrassing.
The whole process was smooth and seamless, without a single unnecessary glance.
Then he prepared to leave, his eyes pausing slightly as he looked at the things on the table.
He didn't know why Gu Luoxi would keep it, but since it was his, it wasn't unreasonable for him to take it with him.
He grabbed his things and left the room.
After returning to his room, he casually tossed his laptop aside.
His room was very tidy, which contrasted sharply with the mess in Gu Luoqi's room.
It was also very spacious, with little sign of human activity, just like a hotel.
He walked up to a wardrobe and opened the top drawer.
The drawer wasn't big, and it was full of odds and ends. Although it looked a bit old, it wasn't messy.
He fumbled around for a moment and pulled out something—the missing piece of the Rubik's Cube.
He walked to his desk, sat down, placed the Rubik's Cube on the table, and quickly disassembled it into a pile of parts.
Then gently wipe away all the dust with a tissue.
He wiped it very carefully, his expression focused, as if he were polishing some rare treasure.
...
Happy times always pass too quickly, and Sunday afternoon arrived in no time.
Gu Luoxi lay listlessly on the table, "Why isn't Xiao Chengzi here yet?" She had just told her to wait at the school gate to welcome her back this morning, but there was still no sign of her.
"It might take some more time," Li Mingya said while solving a math problem.
"Host, do you find the waiting time too long? Come on, let's do a math test to kill some time."
Gu Luoqi's face darkened upon hearing this. "System, can you please stop trying to trick me into studying?" And she doesn't seem that easy to fool.
Its pathetic linguistic art.
"Is it wrong for me to want you to study? Who am I doing this for?"
The system has discovered Gu Luoqi's 'weakness' over this period of time, which is that she is very afraid of being forced into things by a parent.
"Big brother, please stop reading!" Gu Luoqi felt like her head was about to explode.
It seems that what goes around comes around. Although she has an enlightened father, she couldn't escape the fact that fate suddenly sent her a "domineering mother," and she has been suffering greatly from her these past few days.
"Host, you should really focus on your own affairs." The system felt tired too.
Luckily, it's not a real human, otherwise it would have been driven crazy by this guy.
"System, please let me rest for a bit!" Gu Luoqi desperately tried to protect her precious rest time.
Moreover, she has already completed the random tasks assigned by the system today.
Although the accuracy rate wasn't high, it's already quite good considering her current level.
System: Excuses, all excuses.
Just as Gu Luoxi was arguing with the system, her phone rang.
She glanced at the screen.
It's a little orange.
She quickly answered the phone, "You've arrived?"
Xiao Chengzi was a little surprised by how quickly she answered the phone. She paused for a few seconds before speaking, "Come pick me up at the school gate, my luggage is heavy, it's all food I brought for you guys." She was slightly out of breath as she spoke. It was noisy around her, so she must have just gotten off the bus.
Upon hearing that there was food, Gu Luoqi's eyes instantly lit up with an unusual gleam. "Okay, wait a few minutes, I'll be right there." She then stood up from her chair in an instant.
Li Mingya heard the noise. "Are you going to pick up Cheng Cheng? Do you need my help?"
"No need, I can manage on my own." Gu Luoqi said and stormed out.
It's not a big deal, does it really require two people?
Li Mingya smiled helplessly and could only sit down.
Little Orange felt valued and was quite satisfied, even though she knew this guy was only being so enthusiastic because of the food in her hand.
But this thing belongs to her, and if she values her things, it means she values herself.
That's how she comforted herself.
Often, their friendship was built on this kind of 'self-comfort' between the two.
Soon, Xiao Chengzi saw Gu Luoqi, who was panting heavily.
"There's no need to rush." This made her a little embarrassed.
"Isn't this so I can see you sooner?" Gu Luoqi said, but her eyes were fixed on the suitcase next to her.
Little Orange: She knew it.
She felt that this guy might sell her out for food one day.
Gu Luoxi studied it for a while before speaking, "You changed your suitcase?" She remembered that Xiao Chengzi didn't have this suitcase when she left.
"There's too much stuff, we can't fit it all in." Little Orange glared.
It's all because this guy made her bring more things, otherwise she wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
"Thank you for your trouble. Don't move, I'll carry it." Gu Luoqi immediately became obsequious upon sensing the cold air around Xiao Chengzi.
Why would a princess need to carry all that luggage? Let someone as thick-skinned and resilient as her do it.
