Chapter 27 There is a wall between geniuses and ordinary people
The word "we" pleased Gu Xiyue. He pursed his lips and sat down from the chair next to her.
"The child is asleep?"
"She slept so soundly. She must have known that she would not have to worry about having milk powder in the future." Zhou Nuan laughed, "We collected nearly 500 yuan, plus the 200 yuan that the Zhou family wanted back, so I have almost 1,000 yuan in my hand."
Mrs. Chen and Chief Zhao account for the majority of this.
Gu Xiyue lowered his eyes, "What are you going to do with this money?"
What to do?
Zhou Nuan was confused and looked at him warily.
Could it be that Gu Xiyue was planning to take advantage of her money? Could it be that he was short of money now? It was hard to say. Didn't He Tao say that he had invested all his money in that small factory?
"You want it? It's not impossible for me to give it to you..." Zhou Nuan said.
Her reluctance made him unable to help but reach out and touch her black and shiny hair. Well, it felt good.
"I don't want yours, you can keep the flowers, but don't let yourself be deceived again."
Cheating her out of money? How is that possible? Zhou Nuan held the pile of money tighter, "Didn't I tell you that I won't let anyone from the Zhou family take another penny from me? Don't you believe me?"
“I’m not talking about the Zhou family.” Seeing her frown in confusion, Gu Xiyue didn’t finish the rest of his words.
"I'm going to be away for a while tomorrow, so I'll leave the house to you. My mom is not in good health, so I asked Granny Lin to come and help. Don't overwork yourself."
Zhou Nuan looked up in surprise.
"You're leaving?" So soon? She thought he would stay for a while, but she didn't expect him to leave tomorrow.
"Well, there's something I need to take care of over there."
"Then when will you come back?" There was a reluctance and dependence in his tone that she was not aware of.
Gu Xiyue paused, and his cold brows slowly melted.
"soon."
"oh."
After they finished talking, the two fell silent. The atmosphere was strangely ambiguous. Zhou Nuan lowered her head awkwardly. She didn't have much time to be alone with Gu Xiyue, so even a slap in the face would count. She really didn't know what to talk to him about.
"Su Hang is a sensitive child," Gu Xiyue said again, "so you have to be more tolerant of him."
That's no problem. She also likes the child very much. "Don't worry, I'm his aunt. I will definitely treat him like Xiaodong and Xiaoxi."
She almost patted her chest to make a promise.
Gu Xiyue's eyes darkened, and he looked at her steadily, "Also, take care of yourself and wait for me to come back."
His gaze only stayed on her for a moment and then quickly retracted. Zhou Nuan wondered if she had seen it wrong.
Why did she see something different in Gu Xiyue's eyes? Could it be that he liked the original owner? No way? He is the male protagonist?
Gu Xiyue patted her head, said, "Go to sleep," then got up and walked out the door.
Seeing that tall figure about to disappear from sight, Zhou Nuan blurted out, "Gu Xiyue, will you miss me?"
Gu Xiyue paused slightly and did not respond, but just looked at her deeply.
Zhou Nuan then realized what she had said and quickly changed the subject, "I'll take you there tomorrow." After saying that, she turned her head away, not daring to look at him.
There was no sound for a long time. Just when she was getting anxious, the door closed and Gu Xiyue left.
As the footsteps faded away, Zhou Nuan buried her face in the pillow in annoyance. Her face was burning like a monkey's. She held her burning face and said, "Zhou Nuan, what are you talking about?"
The atmosphere just now must have been too strange, so she would say such a thing, it must be...
Zhou Nuan didn't sleep well because she had something on her mind. It was not until the second half of the night that she managed to fall asleep.
When she woke up in the morning, the two children beside her had been taken out. The quilt that she had kicked off her feet was now covering her tightly. It was quiet outside.
After being confused for a while, she suddenly realized that today was the day Gu Xiyue was leaving, and she quickly got up.
In the main room, Qin Yuezhi and Granny Lin were holding a child each and talking in low voices. Seeing her wake up, Qin Yuezhi hurriedly asked, "Are you up? Breakfast is still hot."
"Mom? Where's Gu Xiyue?" Zhou Nuan didn't find the tall figure, so she walked to Su Hang's room. It was tidy and tidy, except for his things.
She felt a little disappointed. He just left like that. Didn’t she tell him she would see him off?
"Xiyue left as soon as he got up this morning." Qin Yuezhi explained, and added, fearing that her daughter-in-law would be unhappy, "She said she wanted you to sleep a little longer, not to wake you up."
Zhou Nuan felt a little complicated after hearing this. Gu Xiyue was undoubtedly considerate and caring, but... would he show this kind of caring to another woman in the future?
According to the original book, he lost his two children when he came back this time, and after divorcing the original owner, he officially embarked on a life of endless entanglement with the heroine Ji Huayan. If nothing unexpected happens, Ji Huayan will soon appear when he goes back this time.
Zhou Nuan felt complicated when she thought about him being with another woman in the future. She did not deny that she did have a good impression of him during their contact during this period of time, so she felt reluctant to let him go.
Just then, a voice came from outside the house, "Aunt, I'm back."
When she turned around after hearing the voice, she saw little Su Hang standing at the door, holding the new schoolbag she had bought for him.
Zhou Nuan was puzzled, "Why are you back? Is school on vacation?"
Little Su Hang said as he untied his schoolbag, "I don't want to study anymore."
Zhou Nuan frowned and pulled him into his room.
After closing the door, she asked seriously, "Why don't you want to study anymore? Did anyone bully you at school? If so, tell your aunt and she will take care of it for you."
She was also a student and was very familiar with the twists and turns involved, but because of her family background, no one dared to do anything to her. But other people, especially students like Su Hang, whose family was poor, orphans, were not valued, and no one was in charge, were typical targets for bullying.
Thinking of this poor child being bullied by others, Zhou Nuan's face became a little more serious.
"No one bullies me." Little Su Hang looked puzzled, "Why would my aunt ask that?" They didn't even have time to please him.
Seeing that his expression didn't seem fake, Zhou Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good.. Then why don't you want to study?"
Su Hang pursed his lips and said, "It's boring. I already know everything the teacher taught me. Aunt, how about I come back and help you take care of your younger brothers and sisters?"
Do you know it?
Zhou Nuan didn't expect this to be the reason.
“They know everything? Even the seniors know it?” No way?
I knew he was a genius boy, but I didn't expect his IQ to be so terrifying. He is only eight years old and has only been to school for two years. Most of the time he couldn't go to school because of Qin Yuezhi's poor health. How could he have learned everything?
"I know. Do I need so many years to study for such a simple question?" He really didn't understand.
Zhou Nuan: “…”
It turns out that there is a wall between geniuses and ordinary people.
I feel so complicated. I'm afraid that I've delayed him. It seems that this small place can no longer accommodate him. He has to find an education that suits him.
"Aunt," Su Hang called again, "Shall we go to Uncle's place?"
Zhou Nuan, "?"
