Chapter 51 Don’t be afraid, I’m here
After returning home and closing the door, Lin Muci immediately jumped out of Gu Chaoyu's arms, turned back into human form, patted his chest, obviously still a little scared.
"I was so scared..."
"I really thought he would break all your silver needles one by one!"
[It's so scary. That look makes me want to eat you alive!]
[If he really attacks, Xiaoyu will definitely get hurt...]
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his face turned a little pale.
Just then, Gu Chaoyu came over and held him in his arms.
"No."
"I hit more than just his acupoint."
"And his pain!"
Lin Muci rubbed against his arms,
【Ahhhhhhh, this embrace again! 】
【A sense of security overflows! 】
[Why is Xiaoyu brother so handsome even when he says this! ]
[She's a walking hormone transmitter! ]
He buried his face deeper, greedily breathing in the scent that belonged only to Gu Chaoyu.
Gu Chaoyu felt the person in his arms gradually relax. He lowered his head and kissed Lin Muci on the top of her head.
"Okay, don't be afraid."
"I'm here, aren't I?"
"I promise you that I will protect you at all times, and of course, I will also ensure my own personal safety!"
"Yeah, then Brother Xiaoyu, let's make a promise that we won't change it for a hundred years. Whoever lies is a puppy!" Lin Muci said with a smile.
"Okay~~ I'll do as Mu Ci says!" Gu Chaoyu said as he touched Lin Mu Ci's head lovingly.
That night.
Xiaoshu's home.
Little Tree’s father stayed up all night.
But this time, it wasn't because of the headache that had tormented him for years.
After acupuncture, his mind became much clearer and he felt more relaxed than ever before.
But his heart was in a mess.
"This family is sick."
"We need to treat it together."
What Gu Chaoyu said during the day echoed in his mind.
He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. In the darkness, the images of his wife and children appeared in his mind.
He thought of his wife's cautious attitude towards him over the years, the countless times she hesitated to speak, and the bravery she showed when she only confronted him because of Xiaoshu's problem...
He thought of his son again.
I remember when Xiaoshu was a child, he also held his hand and called him "Dad" in a baby voice.
But since when did his son's eyes only look at him with fear?
Just like...
Just like the way he looked at his father when he was a child.
That robot...
He clearly ranked second in the class, only two points away from first place.
But the brand new robot was still thrown to the ground by his father and broke into pieces.
"Useless! If you can't get first place in the exam, you're just a waste!"
"Playthings can ruin your ambition! Playthings can ruin your ambition!!"
His father's roar and the words he yelled at his son were intertwined in his memory.
[It turns out... I've become the person I hate the most. ]
This realization scared him.
For the first time, he felt so lost and lonely.
Is this family really sick?
[Is the root of the problem... me? ]
Early the next morning.
Zhang Hui got the medicine according to the prescription, boiled it, and brought it to her husband.
Little Tree's father took a look at the bowl of black medicine juice and frowned.
"have a finger in the pie."
He complained stiffly.
But seeing Zhang Hui's expectant eyes, he still took the bowl and drank it in one breath.
The bitter taste of medicine spread in the mouth.
He slammed the bowl down on the table.
Zhang Hui shrank her neck in fear.
Xiaoshu's father was silent for a long time. When Zhang Hui thought he was going to lose his temper again, he turned his head awkwardly and said stiffly, "Hui'er, thank you! Please ask Doctor Gu to come over this afternoon."
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
The doorbell rang again on time.
This time, Zhang Hui opened the door with a smile.
The atmosphere in the living room was completely different from yesterday.
Although Xiaoshu's father was still sitting on the sofa with a stern face, the terrifying evil aura on his body had mostly dissipated.
Gu Chaoyu walked in holding Lin Xiaomiao, walked straight to the small tree, and gently placed Lin Xiaomiao on the carpet.
"Meow~"
Lin Xiaomao skillfully called out to the small tree, then lay down obediently.
[Poor little one, how are you feeling today? ]
[That bastard dad didn't scold you today, did he? ]
Xiaoshu looked at the orange cat that was nearby, then glanced at his father on the sofa. Seeing that he just had a sullen face and didn't say anything, he slowly stretched out his little hand towards Lin Xiaomao.
Gently stroked Lin Xiaomiao's back again and again.
Lin Xiaomiao squinted his eyes comfortably, and a satisfied "gurgling" sound came from his throat.
Xiaoshu gradually relaxed more, and even laughed out loud when Lin Xiaomao licked his hand with her tongue.
Zhang Hui, who was standing by, saw this scene, covered her mouth, and her eyes instantly turned red.
And Xiaoshu's father, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at his son and Lin Xiaomao getting along harmoniously, and even let out a long-lost laugh with a complicated expression.
"Little Tree Dad, lie down. I'll give you another acupuncture treatment."
Xiaoshu's father no longer resisted like he did yesterday and just lay down on the sofa.
Gu Chaoyu opened the acupuncture kit, disinfected it, and took out the needle.
Everything is in order.
While giving acupuncture, he started chatting with her:
"Dad Xiaoshu, when you were a child, did you have anything you particularly liked?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoshu's father's body tensed up involuntarily.
At the same time, the voice of Xiaoshu’s father appeared in Gu Chaoyu’s mind!
【What's your favorite thing?! 】
That robot...
[That robot I saved up for half a year to buy...]
[It turns out that when Xiaoshu's father was little, his favorite thing was the robot he saved up to buy!]
Just when Gu Chaoyu thought his thoughts were over,
A blurry picture unfolded in Gu Chaoyu's mind:
[A little boy ran home happily with a test paper with 98 points.
"Dad, Dad! I got 98 points on the test, second in the whole grade!"
"I didn't get first place again! You even got one wrong on such an easy question! You're such a loser!"
"You can't eat if you don't copy this question a hundred times today. Do you hear me?!"
"With your grades, you still want to play with robots? If you use the time you spend playing with robots on studying, how can you get this question wrong?!"
"Playthings can ruin your ambition, they really can ruin your ambition!!"
With a sound of "Snap!"
The almost new robot was smashed to the ground and shattered into pieces.
The little boy stared blankly at the debris on the ground, tears welling up in his eyes, but he bit his lips tightly, not daring to cry.
Because my father said that boys shed blood but not tears.
Crying is like being a woman, a coward! 】
Gu Chaoyu's mind was hit hard by this surging pressure.
[I see. No wonder Xiaoshu's father has such severe liver qi stagnation.]
【It really hasn't been easy for him these past few years! 】
