The villa has been decorated to look very festive, with even rows of beautiful red lanterns hung in the yard, waiting to be turned on at night.
Nuannuan and Gu An went back in a rather panicked manner. Seeing this, Gu Nan frowned slightly, put down his work and walked over.
The big dog, who was so naughty before, turned into a quail in an instant, burying his head in his paws with his ears drooping, not daring to look at him.
Gu An started to scream and complain about everything. He was really mad at this dog.
It was a rare occasion that Nuannuan didn't speak up for Dahuang. It was a shame that she and her brother were so tired today.
Gu Nan stared expressionlessly at Da Huang, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead.
Da Huang secretly raised one eye, took a look, and then quickly retracted it.
Gu Nan pointed to the corner of the wall - "Go face the wall."
Dahuang——"..." Under Gu Nan's expressionless pressure, it tucked its tail between its legs and hung its head, looking back every few steps at Nuannuan as it walked towards the corner.
Nuan Nuan Nai hummed twice - "Da Huang is not obedient at all today!"
Da Huang whimpered pitifully, walked to the corner of the wall, pressed his head against it, and faced the wall seriously.
"Where's your scarf, Nuannuan?"
Gu Nan noticed the difference in the little girl. Her neck, which was tightly wrapped when she went out, was now bare. Of course, she didn't feel cold because she was wearing a high-necked sweater.
But...the scarf was gone.
The little girl shrank her neck a little guiltily, and did not dare to lie about her encounter with Liang Chi.
Of course, the child did not know that the man was Liang Chi, but called him Brother Ananda.
"What! You said you met the person you saw at school that day!!"
The one who reacted most violently was not Gu Nan but Gu An. He jumped up.
Gu Nan's face was solemn, and his eyes were as dark as an ancient well, as if they contained something terrifying.
Their reactions made Nuannuan confused for a moment. She nervously pulled her older brother's hand, tilted her little head and asked pitifully.
"What happened, big brother?"
Gu Nan squatted down, put his arms around Nuan Nuan's small shoulders and asked seriously.
"Can you tell your brother in detail about your encounter with him?"
Gu Nan rubbed his head with a calm and soothing look in his eyes - "Don't be afraid."
Others also came over and learned from the noisy Gu An who Nuannuan had met. The smiles on their faces froze immediately.
But they didn't want to scare Nuannuan, so they didn't act too abnormally.
Then Nuannuan told them everything in detail, and the faces of several people looked a little strange after listening to her.
This Liang Chi...what exactly does he want to do by approaching Nuannuan?
He didn't do anything to harm her. It was as if he really just came to spend the New Year with Nuannuan, and he looked so pitiful.
Although he certainly didn't lie.
Gu An was furious - "So I didn't even want your scarf, but he took it away?!"
This strange focus made Gu Mingli unable to help but press his head to stop him from talking.
Bai Moshu narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking - "Liang Chi probably has no intention of hurting Nuannuan. On the contrary... I don't know why I feel like he treats Nuannuan as his sister."
I feel uncomfortable as if my little white rabbit is being coveted by the wild wolves outside.
"Nuan Nuan, tell us in detail about your first meeting with Liang Chi, and Gu An, please recall it as well."
Little Nuannuan sat obediently on a chair with a soft, fluffy cushion. Gu Bei even took a small blanket and wrapped her short legs, even though it was not cold in the room.
The little girl's thin white fingers were tangled together as she grasped the edge of the blanket, her eyes were red. Now she knew that Brother Ananda was actually a very dangerous bad guy, but... but he was obviously not like that in front of her.
The little girl hung her head. She learned from her brothers that brother Ananda had broken the law. Breaking the law is wrong and the police will catch you.
"Don't worry, Nuannuan. The brothers will protect you."
Gu Bei touched the little girl's soft hair.
Nuannuan rubbed her little head against his palm, and then softly told him in detail what happened when Gu Ankai met Liang Chi on the day of the parents' meeting.
She has a good memory, so she can remember many details of that time clearly.
Bai Moshu analyzed after listening to the story: "Liang Chi should have gone to Nuan Nuan out of curiosity or playfulness after being tracked down by us several times, and then was unexpectedly discovered by Nuan Nuan in the rain. The boy's unreserved kindness is the purest and most pure. People in the deep darkness are extremely sensitive to such pure kindness. Moths are attracted to light, and so are people. After walking in the dark for a long time, they will approach the warm light cautiously."
"But there are usually two possibilities for people with such mental disorders to approach. One is to drag the light into darkness, and the other is to protect it. In Liang Chi's case, I am more inclined to the latter, but I am not completely sure."
Gu Nan picked up the little girl with a cold expression.
"No matter what, he shouldn't be around Nuan Nuan."
One is a demon covered in blood, and the other is an ignorant and clean little angel. It will not be good for either of them to be together.
Liang Chi has killed people, some of whom may deserve to die, but he also has the blood of innocent people on his hands.
Nuan Nuan hugged her big brother’s neck with her little arms and asked softly, “Big brother, is Ananda really that bad?”
Gu Nan patted her on the back, awkwardly as if he was coaxing a child, and asked after a moment of silence.
"Do you regret giving him the gift?"
Nuan Nuan thought for two seconds and shook her head - "I won't regret it."
Gu Nan hummed, "As long as you are happy."
The sadness on Nuannuan's face gradually disappeared, and her little head nudged against her big brother's neck.
After all, it is the New Year, so they won't put too much energy on Liang Chi.
Mother Gu called her son and nephew over and gave each of them a set of clothes, a red sweater with simple words and patterns outlined in gold thread on the chest.
Gu Nan held the clothes and felt like they weighed a thousand pounds!
He pursed his lips and stood there, his sharp eyes slowly falling on his brother. Although he did not participate in the shopping that day, he heard it!
Gu Bei blinked and looked back with a hint of innocence. What's wrong with him just wanting to buy more things?
This idea wasn't his, it was my mother's!
Originally, there were only a few sweatshirts, but his mother ordered a few more for the sake of overall coordination. What is that?
"Well, a family should be neat and tidy."
Gu Bei: Yes, that’s right.
Gu Mingli's eyes twitched and he couldn't help but complain.
"Aunt, you, uncle, my father and my mother are all dressed up, why aren't they wearing anything?"
Bai Anran covered her lips with her hands and laughed so hard that her whole body was shaking. Then she said in a slightly shameless manner.
"Of course this is for you kids to wear. We are too old to wear it."
They are here to watch a show, so how can it be the same? Why do I feel so good watching my eldest son’s face getting darker and darker? Hahaha…
Gu Nan "..."
