Chapter 125 The Past I Don’t Want to Remember
"Didn't she tell you what happened after she twisted her ankle?" Gu Moci asked.
"What else happened?" Mother Gu then looked at the others and found that Gu Muran's mood was not right.
"Nuannuan? What's wrong?" Mother Gu walked forward.
Gu Muruan just shook her head.
"Mom, after Sister Xixi twisted her foot, Sister Nuannuan went to check it out. A snake emerged from the bushes. Sister Xixi and her friend dodged in time, but Sister Nuannuan was probably too scared and stood there in a daze. The snake crawled past her trouser leg." Gu Muyan felt that her second brother was a little angry, so she hurried to explain to Mother Gu.
"Oh, are you scared, baby?" Mother Gu asked Gu Muruan.
"Mom, let's go upstairs for a while." After Gu Muwan said that, she and Mu Sheng pulled Gu Muruan upstairs, and the few people behind them followed.
Mother Gu was a little embarrassed, but Gu Muxi and Si Yan were still there, so she had to comfort them first.
They came to the living room on the second floor and sat down.
"Nuannuan, have you had any bad experiences before?" Mu Sheng asked Gu Muruan softly.
Gu Muran finally reacted, trembled a little, and nodded.
"Can you tell us?" Mu Sheng said.
Gu Muruan had no intention of speaking.
"We are all here, don't be afraid, just say it, okay?" Mu Sheng guided gently. She had minored in psychology in college.
Gu Muran was still a little hesitant.
"Be good, don't say it if you don't want to. Second brother won't let anything happen to you in the future." Gu Moci didn't want to force his sister to answer.
When Gu Muruan heard this, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Don't talk! You will get sick if you keep it in your heart." Seeing this, Mu Sheng quickly scolded Gu Moci. Didn't he see that she was leading him?
Gu Moci was scolded by his girlfriend for the first time: Okay, I'll shut up.
"Shengsheng, you won't get sick from holding it in. I just don't want to recall those things." Gu Muruan finally spoke. Although her voice was very low, everyone could hear it clearly.
"Nuannuan, those bad memories will always be there if you keep them in your heart. You should speak them out and throw them away like garbage. We are the trash cans and will help you deal with them. Only then can you slowly erase them from your heart. Okay?" Mu Sheng wanted Gu Muran to dilute those bad experiences through catharsis therapy.
Gu Munuan thought for a moment, then slowly opened her mouth, revealing the experience she was most reluctant to recall:
“When I was in primary school, the naughty boys in my class would laugh at me and call me a wild child.
Later, the teacher criticized them and contacted their parents, but they never said anything again.
But then one day, after school, I was picking up bottles at the school gate. Trash cans are usually placed on the roadside, and there was grass on the roadside. I was squatting there, and suddenly a snake crawled to my hand. It was about the same color as the woven bag next to me. I didn't see it clearly, so I was bitten.
I quickly shook my hand off, feeling a bit scared, and stood on the side of the road crying. Those boys happened to pass by and saw me, and laughed at me for being timid, but no one cared.
After hearing this, Gu Moci, Gu Muwan, Gu Mochen and Gu Muyan's eyes were red.
Mu Sheng held Gu Muruan's hand tightly.
Mu Heng and Li Qihan were also there, and Li Qihan's hands were clenched tightly.
"Finally, the security guard saw my condition and sent me to the school clinic. He also caught the snake.
The school doctor cleaned the wound and luckily it was not poisonous.
From then on, those boys seemed to have found new fun and started to laugh at me for being timid.
Naturally, these words will not be so harsh.
But I didn’t expect that when I went to junior high school, I would still go to the same school as them, and it seemed like making fun of me was a kind of bad taste for them.
Maybe they've grown bolder, and sometimes they'd kindly tell me where there were bottles to pick up. At first I believed them, but when I went over, I saw they'd caught a snake and put it in a bottle. I was so scared I ran away, and they stood there laughing.
In fact, Xiao Ye Nuan could still accept all these at that time. After all, since kindergarten, the children in the orphanage have developed a strong heart.
But how could those who had been pampered since childhood have ever experienced such a thing? Hearing about Gu Muruan's past, they felt distressed and even more angry and regretful.
"These weren't the worst. During the winter break of my second year in junior high, I went to help out at a small restaurant. The owner was a kindhearted man. He knew I wasn't of working age, but the orphanage was struggling and the small county was also poor, so he let me help out for a few days to cover my three meals a day and some money for school materials after school started.
One night there were a lot of guests, and it was almost 9 o'clock when I got home. Several boys who lived not far away blocked me together and forced me into a corner where others piled up their belongings.
It was winter and there were few people on the road. Everyone was rushing home and didn't pay attention to a group of children.
I thought they would just laugh at me and leave, but I didn't expect them to suddenly close an iron gate against the wall and lock it, but it didn't lock. They shouted "Look behind you!" and ran away.
I subconsciously looked back, wondering where they caught those snakes and put them here in the middle of winter.
When I heard their shouts, the snakes crawled everywhere quickly. I hurried to unlock the door, but I was a little panicked. Two of them crawled over my feet, which made me even more panicked.
My body was a little stiff, but I finally opened the lock and ran out desperately.
When she said this, Gu Muruan's voice was trembling.
"I ran out, thinking I was safe, but I bumped into two drunks. Seeing I was alone, they started saying nasty things and even ripped off one of my shoes. The couple who owned the restaurant had just packed up and were about to go home. When they saw me, they chased them away and sent me back to the orphanage."
Gu Muran finished her recollection.
Gu Muwan was already hugging her and crying uncontrollably, while Mu Sheng and Gu Muyan couldn't stop crying either.
Gu Moci gritted his teeth and controlled himself. He never thought that his sister would experience such darkness.
Li Qihan looked at Gu Muruan, his eyes full of heartache and his heart full of anger. He finally understood what the little girl had experienced behind the coldness she always had.
