Chapter 28 Gu Jinyan tried hard to recall the after-dinner exercise
Fortunately, a three-year-old’s brain has limited capacity.
The grievances and despair accumulated over a long period of time in the previous life came like a surging tide, but were quickly diluted by the physiological forgetting mechanism like a receding tide.
Those clear images and pain soon became blurred, leaving only a heavy sense of loss called "abandonment", floating in my heart like a dark cloud that cannot bring rain.
An Zhi is a smart child.
She was like a small piece of duckweed, floating with the current.
In her previous life, she knew that her father and aunt might not like her, so she tried to stay out of the living room as little as possible.
Now An Zhi has finally grasped a thin straw and found the basis for her existence in this strange time and space.
She could believe what Uncle Gu said.
Quinn went to "save the world" and temporarily entrusted her to Uncle Gu.
Here…at least the blankets are warm and the snacks are delicious.
At this moment, the micro communicator on Gu Changfeng's wrist emitted a very slight vibration.
He glanced down, stood up, and gave Gu Jinyan and An Zhi a soothing smile:
"Sorry, uncle has some small work matters to take care of. You guys chat first, I'll be back soon."
He left the cabin and closed the door quietly.
Only An Zhi and Gu Jinyan were left in the cabin.
An Zhi lowered his head, his shoulders still twitching slightly. He tried hard to suppress his sobs, and his little hands tightly grasped the blanket, like a little turtle retreating into its shell.
Gu Jinyan sat next to him, his back straight, his eyes fixed on An Zhi.
He looked at the tiny, trembling cub, listened to her staccato sobs, and curled his fingers in his lap.
Gu Jinyan knew that he was not the type to please young cubs.
When he was a child, his younger brothers would cry when they saw him as their older brother.
What to do now?
It seemed his famous father had forgotten to teach him this.
He can't comfort a child.
Talk about reason? What to talk to a three-year-old?
Comfort? ... I'm at a loss for words.
There was a suffocating silence.
Gu Jinyan's eyes swept over the empty dessert plates and milk cups on the coffee table.
He stood up suddenly, breaking the silence with his action.
An Zhi was startled by the noise and looked up suddenly, looking at him timidly with his big eyes filled with tears.
Gu Jinyan didn't say anything, but just strode out of the cabin.
An Zhi looked at the door that closed again and tears were about to fall again.
Did her brother leave too? Did he also find her crying annoying?
However, within two minutes, the hatch slid open again.
Gu Jinyan is back.
He was dragging a huge, very sturdy-looking suitcase.
He placed the suitcase in the middle of the cabin with a clang and opened it swiftly.
It was filled with various snacks.
The colorful packaging bags of various shapes exuded a mixed, sweet, salty and tempting smell, diluting the lingering sadness in the cabin.
These were forced upon him by the third brother Gu Mingxiao before he set off.
"Brother! Brother! Take it with you!
What good food can there be in that crappy place on the garbage planet?
What if you're hungry? What if you meet a cute kid who needs some comfort?
Let me tell you, this pack of fruit gummies is delicious, kids will love it!
This bag of beef jerky is good for filling your stomach, just in case Dad shoves you into a training room and forgets which one. And this pudding is super tender and smooth. I'm telling you, that lousy supermarket at our school doesn't get any stock for ten days or half a month..."
Gu Mingxiao's sunny yet somewhat handsome face seemed to be right in front of him, and his chattering voice was as loud as ten stereo speakers.
At the time, Gu Jinyan just thought it was noisy and troublesome, so he casually stuffed the box into the deepest part of the starship cargo hold.
I didn’t expect that it would actually be used.
Gu Jinyan took out various snacks from the suitcase and piled them on the edge of the bed in front of An Zhi:
Glittering fruit jelly, individually wrapped marinated eggs, vacuum-packed beef jerky, small cream puddings, and biscuits printed with cartoon designs...
With tears still hanging on An Zhi's eyelashes, she was stunned by the mountain-like pile of snacks that suddenly appeared in front of her.
She had never seen so much and such beautiful food!
Gu Jinyan looked at her dazed expression, picked up a pudding, tore open the package and handed it to her.
His movements were still a little stiff, but his eyes carried the unquestionable command to eat.
An Zhi looked at Pudding, then at Gu Jinyan's face, which had no expression but did not seem to be impatient.
She timidly stretched out her little hand and took the exquisite little box.
For the next few minutes, the only sounds in the cabin were the faint sounds of chewing and the rustling of packaging bags.
Gu Jinyan just sat on the chair, like a silent supervisor.
Gu Mingxiao has good taste in picking snacks, at least the cub didn't frown.
Every time An Zhi eats a new snack, his eyes light up.
She ate slowly and carefully, as if she was tasting the most delicious delicacy in the world with every bite.
She would not take the initiative to get a new one. Only when Gu Jinyan silently pushed the next snack to her hand would she take it and continue to eat quietly.
Gu Jinyan looked at this unusually well-behaved little girl who didn't cry or make a fuss and quietly ate whatever was given to her, and his heart was filled with confusion and a strange trance.
What were his two younger brothers, Gu Qingci and Gu Mingxiao, like when they were cubs?
Gu Qingci?
At the age of six, he could dig up the family garden, chase the guard dog around the yard, and if he was caught eating something improperly, he would howl so loudly that the whole street could hear him.
Gu Mingxiao is even more of a troublemaker. He is incredibly energetic, never stops, and has incredible destructive power. It's a real battle to coax him into eating.
Gu Qingci, who was a little older at that time, finally stopped making trouble and became a little calmer.
...refers to calmly hiding behind and ordering his good brother Gu Mingxiao to get into trouble.
Like An Zhi, he sits quietly, eats whatever is given to him, is not picky and doesn't make noise, finishes one before taking the next, and even knows to fold the small packaging bag and put it aside after eating... Is this really a human cub?
Gu Jinyan looked at An Zhi, who looked like a little hamster eating quietly in front of him, and for the first time he had deep doubts about the diversity of the "cub" species.
An Zhi finally got to eat the creamy pudding she'd started with. The smooth, cool texture made her squint in satisfaction. But her stomach was truly full.
She held the half remaining pudding in her hand and ate slower and slower, her little head nodding as sleepiness and fullness came over her.
Gu Jinyan looked at her holding the pudding, her movements becoming slower and slower, her little head starting to peck at rice like a chick, and his brows furrowed again.
A thought popped up uncontrollably:
...Will it cause indigestion?
If it were another cub, he probably wouldn't have such concerns.
When they are young, they are generally lively and active. They only compete with each other to see who eats more, and play outside so hard that no matter how much you call them, they won't come back.
Gu Jinyan tried hard to recall how his family handled his younger brothers' after-dinner activities when he was a child.
