Heart Delay 3
Her mother didn't ask if she had eaten dinner. Instead, she said, "Qingzhou, Aunt Hu has some family matters and won't be here for the next few days. I've agreed with your Aunt Momo that you should stay at her house for a while starting tomorrow."
"I understand..." Little Gu Qingzhou's voice was muffled. She rubbed her shriveled belly and said, "Mom, there's a parents' meeting tomorrow. Can you come to school?"
The answer she got was the sound of the phone being hung up.
But even so, little Gu Qingzhou still had a little fantasy. Until the next day after school, when all the children went home, she sat alone among a group of parents.
"Qingzhou, why didn't your parents come?" The teacher walked up to little Gu Qingzhou, bent down and looked at her.
"Sorry, teacher, my parents are busy with work..."
"What are you busy with work? You obviously don't want her anymore..."
Little Gu Qingzhou's ears were filled with all kinds of disdainful ridicule and prejudiced sympathy. She lowered her head and clutched her clothes tightly with both hands.
"Hey Qingzhou, why are you here alone?" Xia Mo's arrival broke the deadlock.
"Aunt Momo..." Little Gu Qingzhou's voice was soft, with a hint of crying. Tears welled up in her eyes. She clenched her teeth, not wanting to let the tears fall, not wanting to show her embarrassment in public.
Xia Mo smiled and ruffled Gu Qingzhou's hair. "Are you having a parent-teacher meeting?"
Little Gu Qingzhou nodded weakly.
"Oh! Shushu is such a strong woman. Her mind is full of work, and she even forgot such an important thing." She smiled and turned to look at Gu Fei. "How about this! Ah Fei, you take Qingzhou home first! I'll hold a parent-teacher meeting for her."
Gu Fei nodded, as if he didn't notice anything strange about little Gu Qingzhou, and stuffed the chocolate cake in her hand. "Fill your stomach first."
"Yeah." She lowered her head to eat the cake, which cleverly concealed the tears in the corners of her eyes. The sweetness of the chocolate cake melted her anxiety and soothed her emotions.
Little Gu Qingzhou turned her head and looked at Gu Fei, who was half a head taller than her. She was surrounded by an inexplicable sense of peace. She took a step forward and slowly moved her hands towards Gu Fei's hands hanging at her side, little by little, and finally held them.
Gu Fei was slightly startled, but let little Gu Qingzhou hold his hand.
-
However, this scene was spread throughout the class by someone who exaggerated it. Within half a day, all the classmates knew about it. In addition, they had never seen Gu Qingzhou's parents come to school, so they bullied Gu Qingzhou even more unscrupulously.
At the beginning, little Gu Qingzhou did resist. She even told the teacher, but the teacher's silent approval and her classmates' worsening behavior made her realize that all resistance was in vain. She suppressed all the thorns in her body and endured it all silently.
Gradually, she changed and became quiet and taciturn.
Every day after school, she would still pester Gu Fei after finishing her homework. But Gu Fei could clearly feel that little Gu Qingzhou was no longer the same as before. She had more and more homework, and they had less and less time together. She no longer did those intimate actions, and those seemingly coquettish words seemed to have become a little different.
Realizing this, he wanted to pry something out of little Gu Qingzhou's mouth, but no matter what he said, little Gu Qingzhou just replied "It's okay". He could clearly feel that little Gu Qingzhou was deliberately keeping a distance from him, but there was no way to eliminate this barrier.
-
Ever since Gu Fei's parents went on a trip abroad, little Gu Qingzhou has been coming home later and later, using the excuse of doing homework at school. Gu Fei knew that she was doing it on purpose, but he still didn't say anything.
But on this day, it was already dinner time, the sky outside the window was getting darker and darker, but little Gu Qingzhou still hadn't returned home.
Gu Fei sighed, put on his school uniform, and thought that this time he must find little Gu Qingzhou to talk things out.
But he searched around the school and couldn't find little Gu Qingzhou. Just as he was about to call the police, he heard two girls talking around the corner. "Did you see that? Gu Qingzhou was just locked up in a small dark room by Jiejie. It's really satisfying!"
The girl next to her smiled and said, "She deserves it. It's her fault for seducing our Gu Fei."
"That's right, that's right. Since her parents don't care about her anyway, we can just educate her on their behalf!"
Hearing this conversation, Gu Fei felt a nameless fire burning in his heart. He clenched his fists tightly and slowly walked in front of them with a cold face. "Why are you doing this?"
His eyes were cold, as if filled with shards of glass.
"Gu...Gu Fei...Senior..." The girl widened her eyes and looked at Gu Fei in front of her in disbelief.
Although Gu Fei usually treated people coldly, this was the first time he had seen her like this. The woman unconsciously took a step back, "I..."
Gu Fei pursed his lips and said sternly, "Where is she? Take me there."
The girl seemed to have just come to her senses. She pointed with a trembling hand at a small dark room with a locked door not far away. "She's in here..."
He took two steps forward, then paused. He turned and glanced at them coldly, a few words spilling from his thin lips. "If you do it again, the only fate awaiting you is expulsion."
The two girls nodded. One of them stepped forward and hesitantly warned, "Gu...Gu Fei, if you go now and Jiejie finds out, she'll definitely intensify her attacks on Qingzhou. This..."
"I understand." Gu Fei's voice was light. He stared at the small dark room, as if he could see the helpless look of little Gu Qingzhou through the door. His heart couldn't help but feel distressed.
After thinking it over again and again, Gu Fei finally did not show up directly. He told the guard about this matter, and hid behind the small dark room, silently watching little Gu Qingzhou come out of the small dark room, silently following her home, and then as usual, he came to little Gu Qingzhou's room with a fairy tale book and told her a story.
After finishing the story, Gu Fei asked without thinking, "Qingzhou, are you unhappy about anything?"
"What?" Little Gu Qingzhou tilted his head and looked at Gu Fei in confusion.
Gu Fei rubbed her head and said, "It's nothing, go to sleep."
Little Gu Qingzhou was very tired after crying for several hours and fell asleep in a short while.
Gu Fei looked at little Gu Qingzhou's restless sleeping face, smoothed her furrowed brows, bent down and kissed her lips, his eyes filled with deep heartache. "This time, don't leave without saying goodbye, my little Qingzhou."
His voice was very soft, like a breeze blowing gently, leaving no trace.
-
Because of Gu Fei's warning, no one bullied little Gu Qingzhou in person anymore.
Time passed by quietly, and in the blink of an eye, little Gu Qingzhou had been promoted to the fifth grade of elementary school, and Gu Fei also graduated successfully from elementary school.
When little Gu Qingzhou happily returned to Gu Fei's house with his winter vacation homework, he found suitcases piled up at his door.
"What's going on..." Little Gu Qingzhou called Gu Fei's home, but the number displayed was invalid.
She called her mother instead, but was told that Gu Fei's parents had moved the family abroad for work reasons.
Gu Fei left, and all traces were erased, as if it was just her fantasy from beginning to end.
After many twists and turns, little Gu Qingzhou returned to her home. In the huge house, she was the only one left. The sun was shining brightly outside the window, but it could not penetrate into her heart.
That night, the cold wind blew in from the air conditioner, and her head became heavier and heavier. She was like a terminally ill old man who wanted to grasp the last straw, so she dialed the number hidden in her heart.
Unfortunately, the next second, her world completely collapsed, and her mother's decisive words kept circling in her mind.
"Qingzhou, please stop messing around, Mom and Dad have their own new family..."
In an instant, everything turned into bubbles and disappeared into the endless darkness.
Outside the window, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The long, dark night was like an endless whirlpool that swallowed Gu Qingzhou. She just sat there blankly. She didn't know how long she had maintained this posture. The only thing she knew was that her parents had remarried outside, and the boy she had been thinking about disappeared from her world. From then on, there was no sunshine in her world.
She was seriously ill, with a constant high fever, and all those unbearable memories disappeared completely in the illness...
The picture finally freezes on a piece of letter that fell from her suitcase, with a few lines of words on it.
Once upon a time there was a naughty little girl who would take a group of lambs for a walk on the grassland from time to time. One day she met a big bad wolf. The big bad wolf just wanted to tease her at first, but the little girl thought the big bad wolf regarded her as a good friend and kept pestering the big bad wolf. In desperation, the big bad wolf made up a very scary story for the little girl, hoping that the little girl would give up, but the little girl was very interested. The big bad wolf had no choice but to let the little girl follow him.
It wasn't until one day, when the little girl disappeared without saying goodbye, that the Big Bad Wolf realized he had fallen in love with her. But he firmly believed she would return, so he waited silently. After a long wait, the little girl finally returned and promised the Big Bad Wolf that she would never leave without saying goodbye again. This time, the little girl kept her promise, but the Big Bad Wolf broke it... Sorry, my little canoe.
The image on the screen disappeared and turned into darkness. Gu Qingzhou unconsciously took a step back, tears streaming down her cheeks. She kept muttering, "How is it possible..."
At the same time, 0609 reappeared on the screen, the words "PASS" written in large letters above its head. "Congratulations, host! You have successfully passed the dungeon world 'Late Heartbeat' and are about to unlock all your sealed memories."
