Chapter 29 Old Lady Gu Wakes Up
Is it an illusion?
Gu Qingze saw the change in Ah Xing's expression clearly. He frowned imperceptibly but said nothing.
For a moment, the air became very quiet.
Finally, Ah Xing couldn't help it first.
She walked over and sat next to Gu Qingze, poking him gently with one hand.
"My Lord..."
The voice was full of tenderness, "Are you angry?"
To be honest, Gu Qingze didn't expect Ah Xing to react like this. In his impression, such situations often happen, but as long as he said those words, all those who tried to get close to him would subconsciously retreat and dare not be in front of him again.
But now, Ah Xing's expression surprised him a little.
This was the first time that someone had a different reaction to this. Even Su Shimu, who had been with him the longest, initially behaved in a similar way to those people.
"Heh, how can you tell that I'm angry?"
Gu Qingze said in a cold tone. He wanted to see how Ah Xing would respond next.
But when Ah Xing heard this, she smiled.
He said, "My lord, you are so cute."
He showed a cold exterior to everyone, but he was soft inside.
This was the first time Ah Xing had a glimpse of this side of him.
In such a tense environment, Ah Xing's words seemed out of place.
What the hell is cute? Is he talking about me? Gu Qingze didn't think too much about it and was a little unresponsive to what Ah Xing said.
Even the frozen expression on his face looked like the hard ice shell was melting a little bit at this moment, and it seemed not so scary anymore.
"Why do you say that?" Gu Qingze frowned and looked at Ah Xing in confusion.
"Because this is how the male master feels to me now." After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, sat closer to Gu Qingze, and said slowly with his light purple eyes flickering:
"I don't think the male master is as scary as those people say. I just asked that question just now, and I didn't mean anything else. The male master doesn't want to tell me now, which proves that I am not worthy of your trust. This is my fault. I still need to work hard and strive for the day when you really trust me, and then it won't be too late to tell me everything."
Everyone can say superficial polite words, and Gu Qingze has seen a lot of them over the years.
But, Ah Xing's eyes seemed to speak, and he believed those eyes more than those words.
Eyes don't lie.
Gu Qingze could see it.
He chuckled and raised his hand to pinch Ah Xing's face, "You are good at talking."
Gu Qingze didn't notice that when he said this, the coldness between his eyebrows disappeared, and only tenderness appeared, and even a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
Gu Qingze didn't notice it, but Ah Xing saw it.
He was about to raise his hand to cover Gu Qingze's hand that was pinching his face, but before his hand was raised, an inappropriate sound came from the side.
"Ahem——"
Hearing the movement, Gu Qingze's eyes moved slightly, and he slowly withdrew his hand.
Look at the person who came.
When Butler He met those emotionless eyes, he was nervous. Did he disturb something? But Butler He didn't care about that now. Old lady Gu woke up.
"Master, the old lady woke up. She remembered something and wanted to find you!" Butler He said respectfully.
"Awake?" Gu Qingze stood up after hearing this. He seemed calm, but his hands in his pockets began to tremble.
Grandma woke up? !
Before Gu Qingze could walk over there, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking slowly, with two maids standing beside her carefully supporting her.
The person who came was Old Lady Gu!
"Grandma, why did you get out of bed?" Gu Qingze walked over quickly.
The maids on both sides automatically left the space after Gu Qingze supported the person.
Even Butler He quietly left. For a moment,
only Mrs. Gu, Gu Qingze and Ah Xing were left in the hall. According to the rules of Rose Manor, whenever Gu Qingze and Mrs. Gu were alone, all irrelevant people had to leave on their own.
This was the rule set by Gu Qingze.
But Ah Xing obviously didn't know. Seeing Gu Qingze so nervous, he also stepped forward to help.
But as soon as he approached, he noticed the look in Gu Qingze's eyes. The meaning in his eyes was very obvious, he didn't want him to get close.
Ah Xing pursed his lips and stopped.
Mrs. Gu had her head down at first, but when she heard the voice in front of her, she suddenly raised her head and saw Ah Xing.
Blue hair and purple eyes, she looked exactly like——
"Flower Fairy!"
Mrs. Gu suddenly patted Gu Qingze's arm, pointed at Ah Xing, and said, "There is a beautiful flower fairy in front of you, Xiaoze, do you see her?"
Xiaoze...
Gu Qingze's restless heart suddenly calmed down when she heard this long-lost title.
"Xiaoze, that person looks a lot like a flower fairy." The words still had a familiar taste, kind and gentle...
She remembered him.
"Grandma, do you remember me?"
Mrs. Gu froze slightly when she heard this, sighed, turned her head to look at Gu Qingze, her eyes soon became watery, "Oze, I have suffered so much for you these past years..."
Gu Qingze pursed his lips and tried to make a smile, but found it difficult, "Sit down first, grandma."
Gu Qingze slowly helped Old Mrs. Gu sit on the sofa.
He was about to turn around and let Ah Xing go out first, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Mrs. Gu.
"Come and sit here, kid."
Upon hearing this, both Gu Qingze and Ah Xing were a little stunned.
"Me, me?" Ah Xing looked around and pointed at himself, looking a little naive.
Mrs. Gu smiled and nodded, patting the place next to her.
Ah Xing first glanced at Gu Qingze, and seeing that there was no unhappy expression on Gu Qingze's face, she walked over.
The sitting posture was much more reserved than before.
"Hello, my name is Ah Xing."
Ah Xing hadn't figured out how to address people in the human world. He only knew brother and sister. He didn't know if it would be offensive to follow Gu Qingze and call her grandmother, so he simply skipped this step.
"Ah Xing, that's a nice name." Old lady Gu looked at Ah Xing, at those eyes.
She added, "You have beautiful eyes, too."
Ah Xing didn't know what Old lady Gu wanted to do. He just smiled and smiled in response, "Thank you."
Gu Qingze looked at the two people getting along next to him, and his originally wrinkled eyebrows slowly relaxed.
His grandmother didn't treat Ah Xing as an illusion. Today, her grandmother seemed to be in better condition than before.
"Xiao Ze." Old lady Gu suddenly called Gu Qingze.
"Well, what's wrong, grandma?"
Mrs. Gu didn't say anything, but just held Gu Qingze's hand and rubbed it in her hand, "You've grown taller and thinner. You still have to be good and eat well in the future..."
Mrs. Gu's words were illogical, and she spoke a lot without caring whether Gu Qingze would respond or not. She just lowered her head and spoke to herself.
Gu Qingze listened and suddenly felt his throat tighten.
This paragraph of words was what Mrs. Gu said to him every time she woke up. It
was very familiar, so familiar that Gu Qingze suddenly felt that he had returned to a few years ago.
