When Lu Zheng woke up, he found himself lying in a warm room. He was a little dazed, and his brain wasn't working properly for a moment.
When he saw Grandma Xiao, he was surprised to find that he had been asking about Xin Xin in the Sand God Kingdom. Why was his maternal grandmother here?
Grandma Xiao brought over a bowl of congee, blew on it, and fed it to Lu Zheng: "Yuanyuan, you've lost weight. Your grandmother is so worried about you. Eat something so we can get better before we go see Xinxin."
Lu Zheng pursed his lips and looked at Grandma Xiao.
Grandma Xiao cried, "You child, why are you so disobedient! What will I do if anything happens to you? Do you want me to lose you after losing your mother?"
Lu Zheng reached out, took the bowl himself, and then drank the whole bowl of porridge.
At this moment, Grandma Gu and Gu Nian came in.
Grandma Gu looked at Lu Zheng and sighed, "A Yuan, take good care of yourself. Xin Xin is waiting for you to come see her. If you collapse from exhaustion, who will come to see her?"
Lu Zheng sniffed, his eyes feeling a little sore.
The atmosphere in the room was strangely heavy. Seeing that Lu Zheng didn't want to talk, Grandma Gu pulled Grandma Xiao away. Gu Nian followed them out, and when she reached the door, she said something to Grandma Gu and Grandma Xiao before turning back to the bedside.
She pulled up a stool, sat down, and looked at Lu Zheng, saying, "Lu Zheng, from the moment you appeared, I knew who you were. My parents and I both knew who you were and your past."
Lu Zheng was not surprised at all, because he had sensed hostility from these three people and noticed that they were preventing him from getting close to Xin Xin.
At first, he thought that these three people had been reborn like him, but later he found out that they had not, but they were not the original three members of the Gu family either.
Seeing his lack of surprise, Gu Nian continued, "From that time on, Xin Xin has been incredibly lucky. Whoever insults her suffers misfortune. It all started when the debt collectors tried to kidnap my mother and me to sell us to pay off their debts. When they kidnapped Xin Xin, she was unharmed, but the debt collectors were chased and bitten by wild dogs that appeared out of nowhere. When my aunt scolded Xin Xin, she went into premature labor. When Xin Xin wanted to eat wild game, a wild boar ran into our wall. When you went to Yuzhou with Xin Xin, you encountered assassins on the way, and you were injured, but Xin Xin was unharmed. During the Lantern Festival, Xin Xin was kidnapped because of you, but she was unharmed, while the people who kidnapped her either tripped and fell or had all sorts of bad luck. Li Shan tried to scheme against Xin Xin, but her plan backfired." Yue Li tried to scheme against Xin Xin, but she tripped and fell. Even though she kidnapped Xin Xin this time, everyone was exposed, they didn't escape along their planned route, and were seriously injured. I believe that this time, Xin Xin will still be unharmed. She must have wandered into some place, gotten lost, and couldn't find her way back. Lu Zheng, if you break down, everything you've done will be meaningless. If you break down, such a good Xin Xin will only benefit someone else. So, Lu Zheng, please cheer up. If you sink into despair, Xin Xin will be heartbroken to see you like this when she comes back. Maybe our family can't be as completely devoted to Xin Xin as you are, but please believe that we care about her no less than you do.”
Gu Nian wouldn't mention that Gu Xin had once saved the little carp that had leaped over the Dragon Gate, nor would she tell Lu Zheng about Gu Xin's extraordinary experiences. But she wanted to tell Lu Zheng that Gu Xin wouldn't get into trouble easily, and even if she encountered difficulties for a while, she would be unharmed.
Lu Zheng looked at Gu Nian and after a long while, he finally responded with a soft "Mm".
