After dinner, Gu Juan took her on the road again. This time, Gu Zhinian sat in the passenger seat and chatted with Gu Juan.
"You said I was your sister, so how did I get lost when I was a child?"
Gu Juan turned to look at her. "When you were three years old, your family held a birthday party for you. Someone brought in a puppy. For some reason, the puppy went crazy and started chasing you and biting you. You got so scared that you ran behind a bonsai tree. When I chased after you, you were gone."
Gu Zhinian lowered his eyelids and asked, "You said, I was chased by a dog when I was a child?"
"Well, it's a three-month-old dog."
Gu Zhinian closed his eyes and leaned back in the chair. A scene emerged in his mind: a huge twelve-layer cake was placed in the middle. Everyone surrounded a little girl in a princess dress and sang a birthday song for her. A gentle woman held the little girl in her arms, kissed her affectionately, and blessed her with a smile.
"Happy birthday to my most precious baby. Mommy loves you."
Gu Zhinian felt so depressed that he couldn't breathe, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and he muttered to himself,
"It's mom. Mom says I'm her most precious baby."
Gu Juan slammed his foot on the brakes, leaned to one side, and clenched his fists nervously.
"Zhi Nian, you remember now, don't you? You are not only your mother's most precious baby, but also your brother's baby. Grandpa, grandma, and dad love you the most too."
Gu Zhinian opened his eyes and turned his head slightly to look at him.
"Brother, when I was three years old, I suddenly disappeared and went to the future world. I was wearing a princess tutu dress and a big pink bow on my head. The police found me and asked where my parents were. I was so scared that I couldn't say anything. Everything around me seemed so strange. I just told them that my name was Gu Zhinian.
The police couldn't find my parents, so they sent me to an orphanage. I'd long forgotten what happened when I was three. I only knew about it because the director's mom often told me about it. She said I must have been the most beloved child in my family, and my parents must be heartbroken because they couldn't find me. She told me to find my home when I grew up. I grew up peacefully in that world until I was twenty-one. I took a train out to play and came back here. At the time, I was sleeping on the train, a very deep sleep. Based on my past experiences, I think I must have encountered danger on the train.
After Gu Zhinian finished speaking, he looked up at him and said, "Brother, do you believe what I said? I seem to disappear when I encounter danger. It seems that someone is protecting me."
Gu Juan's eyes sparkled, and he stretched out his hand excitedly.
"Zhi Nian, let me see your jade pendant."
Gu Zhinian felt a little puzzled, but he took off the jade pendant and gave it to him. Gu Juan took the jade pendant in his hand and observed it carefully. He found four tiny cracks on the back of the jade pendant. It was difficult to find without careful observation.
"Zhi Nian, how many times have you disappeared?"
Gu Zhinian thought about it,
"If you count the time when I was three, that's four times in total. Each time, I encountered unavoidable danger."
Gu Juan laughed out loud, stroking the jade pendant in his hand.
"It must be the jade pendant that protected you. Every time it protects its owner, a crack appears on its body. My grandfather said that this jade pendant is very powerful and can help its owner avoid danger and seek good fortune."
Gu Zhinian tilted his head slightly and blinked.
"Its way of letting me avoid danger is to take me through time?"
Gu Juan put the jade pendant back on her.
"Wait until I take you back home and ask Grandpa and you'll know." He then reminded:
"You must never take off the jade pendant, understand."
Gu Zhinian nodded and looked up at him, with a hint of expectation in her eyes that she herself had not even noticed.
"So, you really are my brother."
Gu Juan rubbed her head lovingly and said with a smile, "My sister has a crescent-shaped birthmark behind her left shoulder. If yours matches that, it's 100% certain. There's no need for a paternity test."
Gu Zhinian raised her hand and touched her back. She remembered that Yun Muye especially liked to bite her there. He said that it looked like a little pink crescent moon, very cute.
"and……"
Gu Juan paused and pulled her over. They both looked at the rearview mirror. Two pairs of identical eyes appeared in the rearview mirror.
"Look, we brother and sister look so much alike."
Gu Zhinian looked at the eyes in the rearview mirror that were exactly the same as Xiao Tangyuan's, and was stunned. So Xiao Tangyuan looked like his uncle?
The nephew follows his uncle.
Gu Zhinian turned to look at him, "Brother, my son Xiao Tangyuan looks a lot like you, even more like me."
Gu Juan laughed happily, "Really, I must meet him. In fact, I should have met him three years ago. But you disappeared again. I was very sad and had no mind to think about anything else. I never left An City once, just because I was afraid that you would suddenly appear and I was not there. Zhinian, don't blame me, I didn't ignore him on purpose."
Gu Zhinian curved his eyebrows and said with a smile:
"It's okay, I don't blame you. I believe my husband will take good care of him on his own. He has always been great!"
Gu Juan: “…” Hehe!
Gu Juan twitched his lips and started the car. "Okay, let's keep going. I also want to meet my wonderful brother-in-law soon."
"Yeah!" Gu Zhinian sat down obediently in his seat, turned around and smiled.
"Me too! And the cutest, most adorable little dumplings!"
Gu Juan shook her head and laughed. It seemed that her sister was living a happy life when he was away.
It was already noon when the car entered the provincial capital. Gu Juan found a hotel to park the car.
"Get off the bus and have dinner, then go straight home."
"good."
As they got closer to home, Gu Zhinian became more and more excited. He really wanted to return home in one go, but he also knew that his brother had been driving for a day and a night, so he had to eat and rest for a while, otherwise his body would not be able to bear it.
