Chapter 158
It was five in the afternoon when school was over. Gu Cunxi parked the car at the door and wanted to go with Pei Yin to pick up the child. But then he thought that Xiao Pei Yin must have a lot to say to the child, and it might not be convenient for her to do so.
Gu Cunxi was a little nervous. She didn't know what to say or how to greet the child when she thought about meeting him. She put on sunglasses to hide her eyes that might be dodging in panic. She looked in the mirror, fixed her hair, and touched up some makeup. Looking at the lipstick in her hand, Gu Cunxi laughed at herself for being afraid of a child.
Children leaving school were gathered in groups at the school gate, and were picked up one by one by their parents waiting outside. She stared at the door without blinking, searching for that figure. After a while, Xiao Peiyin came out, holding a child in her left hand. The girl was tall, much taller than other children of the same age, with a ponytail and a white school uniform. Her walking posture was very similar to Xiao Peiyin, slow and graceful.
Gu Cunxi raised her lips unconsciously when she saw this scene. Xiao Peiyin held her hand, showing the tenderness of motherhood. From time to time, she turned her head to say something to the girl, and when she raised her hand to lift her hair, she exuded a charming aura.
Gu Cunxi took a deep breath, adjusted herself, opened the door, and got out of the car. She was inexplicably nervous, her heart pounding so hard that her tone of voice was not steady. She leaned against the front of the car, watching the two people approach, and was so nervous that she couldn't speak.
Xiao Peiyin approached, but didn't introduce her immediately. Instead, she asked softly, "Are you anxious?"
Gu Cunxi was about to speak, but was afraid that her voice would sound wrong, so she just shook her head and looked at the girl. The girl was also looking at her. She had a pair of almond eyes as gentle as Xiao Peiyin's, blinking. The girl was looking at her, her eyes full of confusion.
"Mom?" The girl turned to look at Xiao Peiyin: "Is this beautiful sister your friend?"
Sister? Is there a generation gap? Should I call her Auntie? Gu Cunxi thought. Xiao Peiyin was about to explain their relationship when she was stopped by Gu Cunxi's eyes. She squatted down, looked at the girl at eye level, took off her sunglasses, smiled warmly and said, "I'm not your mother's friend."
It's my love, but I didn't say it out loud because I was afraid of scaring the girl.
The girl was puzzled, raised her eyebrows and scratched her head: "Then, then my sister is..."
Xiao Peiyin looked down at the two of them and smiled
Gu Cunxi extended his hand, like a friend meeting, and said, "It's...your friend."
This was the only way she could think of. She didn't want the girl to call her sister or auntie, so maybe starting with being friends would be easier. The girl obviously didn't understand, and pouted as she asked, "My friend? But...but I haven't even seen you before, and I don't even know your name..."
"Gu Cunxi, my name is Gu Cunxi." He raised his head and rubbed the girl's head: "You can call me this from now on, you don't have to call me sister."
She doesn't want girls to call her sister, because they feel they are too different in generation.
The girl called out "Gu Cunxi" to herself, then looked up at Xiao Peiyin and asked, "Mom, isn't it impolite to call someone by their first name? I'm your elder."
Xiao Peiyin smiled gently, squatted down and asked her: "Do you want to treat her as a sister or a friend?"
The girl rolled her eyes and said, "Um... can my friend play with me?"
Gu Cunxi smiled and nodded: "Yes"
"Then I want to be friends with the beautiful sister and play together." The girl tilted her head and smiled, pretending to be an adult, stretching out her little hand.
"My name is Chen Anran."
Gu Cunxi took her hand
On the first day of meeting An Ran, Gu Cunxi used all kinds of sweet talk to successfully make the girl treat her as a friend. He took her to eat Western food, buy her clothes, desserts, small toys, and go to the amusement park. As long as Chen An Ran said she liked something, Gu Cunxi would immediately buy it for her. Xiao Peiyin was unable to stop him and whispered, "Don't spoil her so much..."
Gu Cunxi refused, and while An Ran was trying on clothes, he leaned close to her ear and said, "She is your daughter, of course you have to spoil her. Don't worry, I won't spoil her."
At the end, he added: "She is a smaller version of you, so well behaved, Xiao Peipei."
However, after a few days, Gu Cunxi wanted to bite her tongue. After An Ran really regarded her as a friend, she always stuck to her and clamored for her to hold her while sleeping. Gu Cunxi refused. The night time was for her and Xiao Peipei. As a result, she could not stand the girl's clamor for her to accompany her. Gu Cunxi could only coax her to sleep in the first half of the night, and secretly ran to Xiao Peiyin's bed in the second half of the night.
"Xiao Peipei..." Gu Cunxi nestled in her arms, feeling aggrieved. Xiao Peiyin pursed her lips and smiled at her, "I've already told you, don't spoil her too much. You can't get away from her now, right?"
"You gloat over other people's misfortunes"
Xiao Peiyin smiled, kissed her forehead and said: "I didn't, I wait for you until late at night every day, I can't sleep without you."
Gu Cunxi sighed softly, looked at the time, and with a wicked smile, he crawled into the quilt and turned over to press her: "My time has been severely squeezed by An Ran, and I want to make up for it now."
Xiao Peiyin smiled shyly, the quilt covered her, and she reached out to turn off the lamp.

Early in the morning, just as the sky was getting light, An Ran got up. Seeing that Gu Cunxi was not around, she reacted for a moment, dressed, washed, and packed her schoolbag. It was time to go to school, and the door of the master bedroom was still tightly closed. She walked over and knocked, but there was no response for a long time. She hooked her small hand on the door handle and gently pushed it open.
As a result, Chen Anran was stunned when she saw Gu Cunxi hugging her mother with one leg straddling her body.
No wonder I didn't hug her, it turns out I went to hug my mother
--snort
Chen Anran closed the door, angrily
*
When Gu Cunxi woke up, it was daybreak. She looked at the time and sat up suddenly. Xiao Peiyin was startled by her big movement and moved her body. When she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Cunxi hurriedly getting out of bed and putting on clothes in a hurry.
"I'm late, I'm late." After putting on his clothes, he looked back at Xiao Peiyin and said, "I'm going to take her to school."
I left the room and didn't see An Ran.
There was a note on the dining table, with the child's tender handwriting
I go to school by myself.
Gu Cunxi regretted that he should not have been so late, and rushed into the bathroom while calling Pei Yin. Xiao Peiyin came out after getting dressed, saw the note on the table, and hurried back to the bedroom to get her phone.
After calling the head teacher, she was relieved to know that An Ran had already arrived at school. Gu Cunxi put on her coat and was about to go out with her bag. Xiao Peiyin came out and held her back: "I called the school, An Ran is already there."
Gu Cunxi suddenly lost strength and leaned against the door, rubbing her dizzy head. She blamed herself and was afraid of letting such a young child go to school alone. Xiao Peiyin understood her thoughts and hugged her to comfort her: "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, it's all my fault. I got up too late and wanted to make breakfast for her."
Gu Cunxi still blamed herself, and was surprised at An Ran's ability to take care of herself. She thought An Ran was a child who needed someone to coax her and accompany her all the time, but now she really is like a little adult and is very sensible.
In the afternoon, Gu Cunxi went to the school gate early to wait. He couldn't be late anymore and let the child go by himself. Xiao Peiyin wanted to come and pick him up, but Cheng Sheng called her to the coffee shop to discuss the plan.
After waiting at the door for a while, Gu Cunxi saw An Ran carrying a small bag and jumping out with her classmates. He was stunned for a moment when he saw her, then he pulled his classmates over and greeted her: "Gu Cunxi"
Several children surrounded her. Gu Cunxi took An Ran's hand and apologized for what happened that morning. "I'm sorry I didn't send you to school this morning. Are you mad at me?"
An Ran pouted: "No."
"An Ran, is this beautiful aunt your mother?" Several girls gathered around An Ran, looking at her. Gu Cunxi squatted down and was about to say that she was not, but heard An Ran say, "Well, she can be considered as such."
Gu Cunxi was stunned when she heard it, and the girls didn't understand it either. An Ran took her hand without explaining and led her away.
In the car, Gu Cunxi kept thinking about An Ran's answer to her classmates. He felt warm in his heart. He turned to look at An Ran. She was sitting there fiddling with the cartoon pendant on her backpack.
"What do you want to eat tonight? Pizza, burgers, or..."
"Gu Cunxi, why don't you hold me when you sleep?" An Ran asked suddenly. Gu Cunxi was stunned and her hands on the steering wheel paused for a moment. The car tilted a little. She quickly corrected it and turned around and said, "Because... you... are a big boy now."
She should slowly infiltrate her. She is a big child and should sleep by herself, so that she doesn't have to sneak into Xiao Peiyin's bed in the middle of the night. Gu Cunxi thought, but An Ran's next words completely silenced her.
"But mom is so much older than me, why do you hold her while sleeping?"
She didn't know what An Ran had seen. She couldn't answer the question at all. She had never been choked in the mall, but she was speechless when asked by a child. How could she explain that she slept with Xiao Peiyin in her arms?
Gu Cunxi was trying to find an excuse quickly when he heard An Ran say again: "It's winter now, Gu Cunxi, why don't you wear clothes when you sleep?"
“…”
She was too tired last night and fell asleep right after finishing the work. She didn't have time to get dressed. She couldn't answer the child like that. Gu Cunxi thought, if Pei Yin was here, would she also be speechless after being asked this question by the child?
After thinking for a long time and waiting at a red light for a minute and a half, Gu Cunxi still couldn't answer. She was afraid that An Ran wouldn't be able to accept the truth. She had never taken care of a child before, so she didn't know if children nowadays were easy to fool...
An Ran waited a long time for an answer, and began to mutter to herself: "Friends also sleep together, like Weiwei and I do, but... we both have clothes on, only... only..."
Gu Cunxi was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat and asked in a trembling voice: "Only...what..."
"You can only be naked if you like someone, right?"
These words shocked Gu Cunxi. An Ran was only seven years old, so it was a bit early for her to know such things. Gu Cunxi couldn't understand why she would say such a thing, and asked back, "Why do you ask that? Who told you that you can take off your clothes just because you like someone?"
"It's Weiwei."
An Ran explained: "She told me that her father told her this because she also saw her father holding her mother without clothes."
“…”
The amount of information was quite overwhelming. Gu Cunxi reacted for a moment. An Ran said "yes", meaning that she saw him hugging her mother without clothes that morning...
I'm so embarrassed, in front of my kids...
"Gu Cunxi, do you like my mother?" An Ran turned around and asked her. Her expression didn't show any displeasure, she was still smiling. Gu Cunxi didn't dare to say it directly, so she asked back, "What if I like her?"
"So if you like mom, will you dislike me?"
Gu Cunxi didn't expect An Ran to focus on this, so he said with a sigh of relief: "Of course not. I like your mother, but that doesn't stop me from liking you."
An Ran thought for a long time before she said, "Then I will allow you to like my mother."
An Ran is very simple, maybe she didn't think about it that way. After all, in the world of children, even liking someone is very simple. Since talking about these things, An Ran no longer pesters Gu Cunxi at night. Although she still sticks to her, she goes back to her room when it's time to go to bed, and doesn't make a fuss about being coaxed or hugged.
Gu Cunxi was also liberated, no longer having to run around secretly.
An Ran had her winter vacation and the New Year was approaching. Gu Cunxi decided to take them on a different New Year. Knowing that Xiao Peiyin liked the sea, she decided to travel to Ireland.
The next week was busy with visa processing and preparations before the trip, but An Ran suddenly changed her mind and said she would not go with them no matter what. Xiao Peiyin asked her again and again, but she would not say why. In the middle of the night, Gu Cunxi ran to An Ran's room and asked her for help.
An Ran was reading in her room. When she got closer, she saw it was a comic book. Gu Cunxi pulled a chair over to sit next to her and read with her for a while before asking, "Why don't you come with us?"
An Ran closed the comic and looked at her with a smile, saying, "It's for your own good."
Gu Cunxi was stunned. Seeing her knowing everything, he felt a little embarrassed and changed the subject, "But if you don't want to play with us, where are you going?"
An Ran rolled her eyes and leaned over to say, "Then I'll tell you, you have to stand on my side and not join mom in opposing me, okay?"
Gu Cunxi didn't know what An Ran was up to, so he didn't agree immediately. He just said, "Then tell me."
"I want to go out and play with Weiwei. She said her mother is taking her to Sanya for vacation during the New Year. She wants me to go with her, and I want to play with her too."
Gu Cunxi was deeply impressed by Weiwei, the child who told Anran that she could be naked with the person she liked... She had met that child once, and she looked very well-behaved. She wondered if she was as smart as Anran.
"Gu Cunxi, can you support me? I support you and mom." An Ran looked at her expectantly. Gu Cunxi was shaken by the last sentence. It's not that she couldn't support him, but she was worried about the safety issue.
After thinking about it, I still need to discuss this matter with Pei Yin and get her consent. However, before leaving, Gu Cunxi gave An Ran a reassurance, saying that he would definitely stand by her side.
He returned to the bedroom and told Xiao Peiyin about it. As expected, she decisively refused, saying that she was just as worried about An Ran's safety as she was. Thinking of An Ran's expectant eyes before she left, Gu Cunxi decided to fight with Xiao Peiyin for the child.
But this kind of thing has to be fought for in bed, the chances of success are greater
Xiao Peiyin was leaning against the bed reading a book. When she saw Gu Cunxi get out of bed and run to the bathroom, she thought she was going to take a shower. But soon she saw her come out in a long gauze dress. She seldom saw Gu Cunxi wearing a long dress, especially such a light and revealing one... The black dress fit her curves perfectly, with two thin straps hanging on her snow-white flat shoulders, and the scenery on her chest was half-hidden, looming and extremely charming.
Xiao Peiyin unconsciously pursed her lips and mechanically closed the book. Before she could react, Gu Cunxi stepped onto the bed with his long legs and pressed on her. She didn't dare to make a sound, fearing that she would be heard, so she could only bite her lip to hold it back. In her confusion and passion, Gu Cunxi leaned over to her ear and asked, "Can we discuss that matter?"
In the moonlight, she saw Xiao Peiyin with his eyes tightly closed. He raised his head slightly and murmured, "Okay..."
