Heart delay 1
Gu Qingzhou rubbed his eyes, and the scene in front of him gradually became clear.
At this moment, she was in a clean and tidy room, and the screen not far away was emitting a faint light.
A small robot covered in a silvery-white glaze appeared on the screen. It waved at Gu Qingzhou, its round eyes flashing red. "Hello, host. I'm 0609."
"You are 0609"
Gu Qingzhou found it very novel. She took a step forward and poked the little face of 0609 on the screen.
"Yes, host. I apologize for meeting you only now." It paused. "The fifth world, 'Belated Heartbeat,' is about to begin. Because this is a replica world, the rules are slightly different from the previous ones. Please allow me to emphasize this again. In this next world, host, you will only need to watch as a bystander, and I will no longer be by your side."
Before Gu Qingzhou could react, 0609 disappeared from her sight.
Then, the scene changed, and a woman in elegant clothes was seen holding the hand of a slightly childish little girl wearing a pink princess dress and holding a cute doll. They came to the door of the neighbor's house next door, and the woman rang the doorbell.
"Hey! Shushu, you're here." The door was pushed open, and a woman about the same age and dressed similarly as the woman walked out. She smiled at the little girl hiding behind the woman, took a step forward, and bent down. "You must be Qingzhou! I'm your mother's good friend, Aunt Momo."
Little Gu Qingzhou didn't say anything, just poked his little head out to look at Xia Mo. Her eyes were like the night sky filled with stars, sparkling. The little mole hidden between her double eyelids was faintly visible, and she looked so playful and cute.
Gu Qingzhou was slightly stunned.
Isn't this my childhood self?
Xia Mo didn't care about Xiao Gu Qingzhou's behavior at all. She raised her hand, rubbed Xiao Gu Qingzhou's hair, turned her head to look at Jiang Shuyu, "Shushu, let's go in and talk!"
Little Gu Qingzhou sat on the sofa, playing with her skirt idly while listening to Xia Mo and Jiang Shuyu chatting...
Cicadas were chirping outside the window. The little boy upstairs turned around and covered his ears with the quilt, but he still couldn't sleep because of the noise. He stood up from the quilt, casually fiddled with his hair a few times, washed up hastily, and went downstairs yawning.
"Mom, are there any guests at home?"
"A Fei, wake up!" The conversation stopped abruptly. Xia Mo looked at the little boy gently. "This is your Aunt Shushu and Sister Qingzhou. Come over and say hello."
Gu Fei walked up to Jiang Shuyu with a calm look in his eyes. "Hello, Auntie. I'm Gu Fei."
He turned around and looked at little Gu Qingzhou. She was holding a cute doll in her arms and hiding behind her mother. She looked like a kitten that had not yet been weaned, very adorable.
A hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand towards Gu Qingzhou, "Hello, I'm Gu Fei."
Little Gu Qingzhou raised his head and scanned Gu Fei's face several times. As if to confirm that he was not a bad person, he slowly extended his hand, "I am Gu Qingzhou."
Her voice was soft, gentle, and a little uneasy.
"A Fei, Qingzhou's parents are busy with work, so they'll be staying at our house for the next few weeks. It's her little sister! Don't bully her." After Xia Mo instructed her son, she patted Jiang Shuyu's hand. "Shushu, don't worry about Qingzhou staying at my house. I won't treat her badly."
Jiang Shuyu glanced at Xia Mo and nodded. "Thank you for your hard work. I'll come pick her up when I'm done with my work."
She squatted down and straightened Gu Qingzhou's clothes. "Qingzhou, be a good boy at Aunt Momo's house! I'll pick you up when I'm free."
Little Gu Qingzhou blinked in confusion and tilted his head to look at Jiang Shuyu.
Until she saw Jiang Shuyu's back as she left, her emotions suddenly burst out. She stumbled after Jiang Shuyu, and cried like a tearful little baby.
Xia Mo picked up little Gu Qingzhou, who was sitting on the ground, patted her back gently, and said patiently, "Your mother has something to do. She will come to pick you up in a few days."
But little Gu Qingzhou didn't understand any of this. She just thought her mother didn't want her anymore, so she kept crying, her little face red from crying.
Gu Fei frowned as he watched her tears and snot, and listened to the sobbing beside him. His previous good impression of her was instantly gone. Just as he was about to turn around and go upstairs, Xia Mo stopped him. "A Fei, Qingzhou has been crying for so long, she must be hungry. Please comfort her for me, and I'll go make you some food."
Gu Fei sat down beside little Gu Qingzhou impatiently. He looked at Gu Qingzhou's small face, which was as big as a palm, and suddenly found it very interesting. He stretched out his hand and pinched it secretly.
His face was very soft and he looked like a little crybaby. This was Gu Fei's first impression of Gu Qingzhou.
Little Gu Qingzhou's sobs grew weaker, the light gently pouring down her cheek, a tiny, glittering teardrop stained her long, thick eyelashes. She raised her head and stared blankly at Gu Fei's hand, which was so close to her. Just when Gu Fei thought she was tired of crying, her sobs suddenly became louder.
"Gu Fei, did you bully Qingzhou?" Xia Mo's voice came from the kitchen. Gu Fei quickly covered Gu Qingzhou's mouth. "No, Mom."
Little Gu Qingzhou's face flushed red, and her tears flowed even more violently, causing ripples in her eyes. Her head struggled violently, and she was mumbling something in her mouth.
"Don't cry, if you promise me, I will let you go."
Little Gu Qingzhou glared at Gu Fei in dissatisfaction and nodded slightly.
Gu Fei let go of little Gu Qingzhou, but little Gu Qingzhou seemed to have seen something new. He said "Ah Wu" to Gu Fei's palm, and then looked at Gu Fei with great pride.
Gu Fei hissed and pulled his hand away in pain.
This little thing has really sharp teeth.
"The chocolate cake is ready." Xia Mo stuffed the two pieces of cake into Gu Fei and Gu Qingzhou's hands. "Qingzhou, try it. Your Aunt Momo's chocolate cake is her specialty."
Little Gu Qingzhou took the cake from her hand, carefully scooped a small spoonful, stretched out his pink tongue, licked it, and it tasted surprisingly delicious.
She shook her little head with a smile on her face and finished the chocolate cake in no time.
Little Gu Qingzhou, who was still not satisfied, turned her eyes to Gu Fei's cake. She didn't say anything, but just stared at him without moving.
"You want to eat?" Gu Fei pointed at the cake on the table, as if teasing a kitten, "Call me brother, and I'll give it to you."
Little Gu Qingzhou clutched the clothes tightly in his little hands, lowered his head, bit his lower lip slightly with his shell-like teeth, and remained silent.
"Okay, A Fei, stop teasing her." Xia Mo stood up and ruffled Gu Qingzhou's hair. "Auntie Momo, go make another one."
At the same time, Gu Fei pushed the cake in front of him to little Gu Qingzhou, "You eat it."
Little Gu Qingzhou raised his head and looked at him, his dull eyes regaining their former brilliance.
She took the cake and ate it very slowly this time, as if she was savoring some delicious delicacy. After finishing, she placed the plate on the table, held Gu Fei's sleeves with both hands, and whispered, "Thank you, Brother Gu Fei."
Gu Fei and Xia Mo were both stunned. They looked at little Gu Qingzhou in disbelief. Gu Fei coughed slightly uncomfortably and said, "You're welcome."
Xia Mo looked at the scene in front of her, a kind aunt's smile appeared on her face, and she turned and left happily.
From that moment on, little Gu Qingzhou was like a sticky gummy bear. Wherever Gu Fei went, she would follow him, calling him "Brother Gu Fei, Brother Gu Fei." At first, Gu Fei was a little impatient, but gradually, he got used to it, used to Gu Qingzhou circling around him.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and Gu Fei's kindergarten started, but little Gu Qingzhou was not yet old enough to go to school, so she stayed at home every day, waiting for Gu Fei. Every time she heard the sound of unlocking a door, she was the first one to run to the entrance door.
"Brother Gu Fei, welcome home." Little Gu Qingzhou tilted her head and looked at Gu Fei. At this moment, she was no longer as restrained as when she first arrived at their home.
"Yeah." Gu Fei nodded, took out a lemon candy from his pocket and handed it to Gu Qingzhou, "Eat less, be careful of tooth decay."
Little Gu Qingzhou nodded vigorously, ate candy happily, and followed Gu Fei to the study. Gu Fei was doing his homework, so she sat opposite Gu Fei with her head supported, watching him do his homework.
It was as if there was a marshmallow with a filling in her heart, sweet, and the liquid slowly flowed out, seeping into every pore of her body. In an instant, she was surrounded by sweetness and happiness.
"I've finished writing." Hearing Gu Fei say these words every day was the happiest moment for little Gu Qingzhou. She hugged Gu Fei's arm like an octopus, "I want to hear a story."
"Okay." Gu Fei scratched Gu Qingzhou's nose lovingly, "Let's go eat first. After dinner, I'll tell you a story."
Little Gu Qingzhou nodded and said to Gu Fei, "We'll make a promise and stick to it for a hundred years."
"Okay, no change."
-
Little Gu Qingzhou sat on the bed, her legs dangling in the air, swinging back and forth proudly. Gu Fei walked over to her with a fairy tale book in hand. "Today I'm going to tell you the story of the mermaid. Do you want to listen?"
She pouted, snorted, and turned her head away. "No! I've heard it before. I want to hear something else!"
"Okay, then you have to promise me that you'll go to sleep after listening to my story." He put down the fairy tale book in his hand. "Then today, I'll tell Qingzhou an upgraded version of The Boy Who Cried Wolf."
"Okay." Little Gu Qingzhou lay on the bed obediently. She was covered tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. The crystal chandelier reflected colorful light in her eyes.
Gu Fei shook his head helplessly and pulled down the quilt of little Gu Qingzhou. "Then I will start talking."
