Chapter 145 She Misses Home

Not like a human, not like a ghost?

Luo Chenxing's originally cold expression suddenly turned extremely cold.

"Is that what you say about your own child? Oh, you really are a 'good' father!"

Luo Mingrong frowned at the naked sarcasm in his tone, "Am I wrong? Look at her, she doesn't look like a normal person at all. She has been spoiled by your mother. She is really hopeless. It's good to go to Haicheng this time. Let her come home. I promise that it won't take long for her to be cured of her hypocritical problem."

Luo Chenxing sneered twice, "Who is the hopeless person?"

Disappointed to the extreme, his voice became calmer, "I won't take the stars back with me. Go away."

He pointed with his finger, and it was obvious that he was sending the guest away.

Luo Mingrong was a little embarrassed. "You don't need to chase me away. There's nothing good to stay in this broken little place of yours. Think carefully about what I said. I am your father after all. Everything I do is for you."

Luo Chenxing remained unmoved.

"Also, I don't know why that stupid guy next to Fanxing wants to stay with her. Find a time to get him out of here, or don't blame me for being rude."

His daughter is going to marry a man of equal social status in the future. How dare a poor boy who came from nowhere set his sights on his daughter?

Luo Chenxing's eyes were instantly filled with sharpness. He glanced coldly at the man in front of him, and said in a stern tone, "If you want Fanxing to die, then go ahead and do it, but I will never allow anyone to hurt my sister, not even her father. If you don't believe me, just try it."

He spoke slowly and firmly, with a serious expression, as if he would turn against him mercilessly in the next second if he dared to do anything. Luo Mingrong was suddenly unable to utter any words.

"...I really don't know who you look like! Let's go!"

Luo Mingrong said this bitterly, but in the end he did not have the courage to go against his son Lin, so he left in dismay with his subordinate.

After the two men left, Luo Chenxing let out a breath silently, muttering to himself, "Fanxing, don't worry. I failed to protect you ten years ago, but I will definitely not give anyone the chance to hurt you this time."

After Zhou Nuan came out of the hospital, she went to buy some New Year's goods before slowly walking home.

As the end of the year approaches, the festive atmosphere becomes more and more intense. The streets are full of smiling people and happy families. It is completely different from the dull and depressing atmosphere in the hospital.

A wall separates life and death, as well as joy and hope.

Speaking of which, Fanxing is a very pitiful little girl, but fortunately she has a very good brother, her closest relative who loves her with all his strength.

And what about her closest relatives?

Let’s not talk about her original vampire family. She is all alone in this world.

Zhou Nuan was feeling a little depressed. She teased Gu Xiaodong and Gu Xixi who were pulling up her trouser legs and asking for a hug, then found an excuse and went upstairs to rest.

Seeing her listlessly going upstairs, Qin Yuezhi asked Aunt Li worriedly, "What happened to Xiao Nuan?"

Aunt Li took a glance and said, "Madam is in a bad mood."

Just as she finished speaking, Gu Xiyue's voice came from the door, "What's wrong with her?"

Qin Yuezhi saw her son coming back and said hurriedly, "I don't know. He is like this after he came back from a trip. Xiyue, go upstairs and take a look."

Gu Xiyue looked a little solemn, and walked upstairs with his long legs.

When he reached the second floor and pushed open the half-open door, he saw his wife, who usually always had a faint smile on her face under any circumstances, sitting on the windowsill with her eyes looking outside. Her thin back looked lonely and desolate, which made people feel inexplicably distressed.

He locked the door, walked behind her, leaned over and followed her gaze to look out the window.

There was nothing there except a lonely bird perched on a branch.

"What's wrong?" he asked gently.

Zhou Nuan had come to her senses when he came in, but she felt tired and didn't want to move.

"You're back? It's quite early today." She asked lazily, with a very calm tone.

Gu Xiyue raised his thick eyebrows: This tone... There is something really wrong with her today.

He sat down next to her, raised his hand and gently but domineeringly took her into his arms, and stroked her hair with his strong hand, "What happened?"

Zhou Nuan let him move and was held in the man's arms. The familiar and warm embrace made her feel safe.

Blinking her eyes, she said, "Gu Xiyue, I miss home."

She misses her cheerful father, her beauty-loving father, her brother who likes to bully her but also loves her, her beautiful sister-in-law and her lovely nephews.

I don't know what happened to them in that world, whether someone replaced her, or whether they would find out that she was gone.

She really missed them.

Gu Xiyue's body stiffened slightly, and he was silent for a moment, then he asked in a hoarse voice, "Which home do you miss?"

Zhou Nuan didn't notice anything wrong with his tone, she just grabbed the clothes on his chest and said nothing.

"The one from Gujia Village?" Gu Xiyue asked tentatively.

“…”

"Then, is it your mother's family, the old Zhou family in Wantou Village?"

Zhou Nuan pursed her lips, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

What is there to miss about that heartless mother's family? She is not her original self.

But she couldn't say this, so she had to remain silent.

She leaned lazily on him, looking listless and extremely well-behaved. Gu Xiyue felt his heart swelling and he couldn't help but hug her tightly. The warm and real touch dissipated some of the invisible panic in his heart.

Just for a moment, he thought she would leave him.

"You probably can't go back to your parents' home, but Xiaodongxi and I will always be your family. Your home is here."

Zhou Nuan finally noticed the weirdness in his tone and raised her head to look at him carefully.

"Well... Zhou Bing is missing, my mom and eldest brother are gone, and my dad has been picked up by my second uncle. There's no one at home, so it's useless to go back." She said cautiously.

She was very nervous, and Gu Xiyue couldn't help but curl his lips slightly and rubbed her thick black hair calmly.

"Indeed."

Zhou Nuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and fell back into his arms. She had just thought he was referring to something... She was really overthinking.

This dispelled a lot of her sad mood. She has always been an optimistic person. She just acted like that because she was sad about the relationship between the Luo brothers and sisters. Luo Chenxing was really a rare good brother to Fanxing, and he spoke gently. Her third brother would never speak to her like this.

Seeing this, Gu Xiyue asked, "Have you been to the hospital? How is Luo Chenxing's sister?"

This time when he talked about Luo Chenxing, his tone was much calmer.
