Chapter 658 Is it him?
In her previous life, because of her own actions, none of the second wife's children escaped death due to Lu Youming's schemes.
So even though Uncle Gu is a bit unambitious, as long as he can live a peaceful and decent life, Gu Shuyan is willing to give him a decent life.
The next day, after breakfast, Gu Shuyan brought candy to Gu Zongjie as promised.
As soon as she entered, she saw Gu Zongjie running happily towards her.
"You really came!"
As Gu Zongjie spoke, he put his hand on Gu Shuyan's wrist and leaned his head directly against her body.
Seeing this, Pearl and Yufei were terrified and hurriedly tried to pull Gu Zongjie away. But to their surprise, Gu Zongjie said to them with a straight face, "Isn't she my older sister? What's wrong with a younger brother being close to his older sister?"
Gu Zongjie's words startled the two maids, and even Gu Shuyan couldn't help but look at Gu Zongjie.
She suddenly realized what that strange feeling in her heart was.
Although everyone says Gu Zongjie has become stupid, it's more accurate to say he's become smaller!
Gu Zongjie didn't care what Gu Shuyan was thinking. He quickly pulled Gu Shuyan's hand and went into the house. Then he presented the pastries that the old lady had sent yesterday to Gu Shuyan as if they were treasures.
"These are my favorites, and I saved them especially for you."
As Gu Zongjie spoke, he sat down opposite Gu Shuyan, propping his chin up and looking at her.
Suddenly, something occurred to Gu Shuyan, and as she looked at the pastries in front of her, her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.
Gu Zongjie watched Gu Shuyan's every move, and he was terrified when he saw her shed tears.
"Don't cry, don't cry, you won't look pretty if you cry like a cat with a stained face."
As Gu Zongjie spoke, he wiped away Gu Shuyan's tears.
Seeing this, Gu Shuyan's heart softened for some reason, and she patted Gu Zongjie's head, picked up a piece of pastry in front of her, and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Is it tasty?"
Gu Zongjie looked at Gu Shuyan with a smile, afraid that she wouldn't like the food.
Gu Shuyan nodded, tears still glistening in the corners of her eyes, and gave him a big smile.
After playing with Gu Zongjie for a while, Gu Shuyan handed him the candy before getting up to leave.
Are you leaving?
Gu Zongjie looked at Gu Shuyan with his bright, sparkling eyes, but there was a hint of dejection in them.
Gu Shuyan was a little puzzled by his expression. "I have something to take care of. I'll come and keep you company another day."
Gu Shuyan and Gu Zongjie were not close to begin with, and she only said that to comfort him because she saw that he was sad.
However, Gu Zongjie became even more sorrowful after hearing this, and whispered, "I'm leaving tomorrow, and you won't be able to see me again when you come back."
Gu Zongjie's words left Gu Shuyan completely confused. Just as she was about to ask Gu Zongjie what he meant, she saw Gu Zongjie's eyes suddenly light up, and he looked over with excitement.
"Remember to go to the temple to burn incense on the first day of the Lunar New Year. I'll be waiting for you there."
Gu Shuyan didn't take the child's ramblings after hitting his head to heart. Seeing his intense gaze fixed on her, she nodded in agreement.
After returning home that day, Gu Shuyan had a dream, a dream about her past life.
In her dream, Gu Shuyan was still in that dark little room, where she never saw the light of day.
Taking advantage of the maids' laziness and absence, Gu Rui carefully climbed in through the window.
He carried in his arms the pastries that had been successfully brought from the kitchen during the hundred-day celebration. Although some of them were only half the size of a piece, Gu Rui still carefully wrapped them tightly in oil paper.
"Mother, these are freshly made snacks from the kitchen today. They're delicious. Please try some."
Gu Rui rested his chin on his hand, looking at Gu Shuyan with anticipation.
No matter the circumstances, all Ruier could see was a longing for life.
Gu Shuyan would take a bite each time, then tell Gu Rui it was delicious, and then the mother and son would each eat the rest together.
She thought that even so, she could watch her son grow up.
In the end, however, she was still too extravagant.
The scene shifts to the day Gu Shuyan died, where she is holding Gu Rui and weeping bitterly.
Seeing Gu Shuyan crying and calling out for Ruier, Yun Yichen felt a pang of sadness and quickly pulled her into his arms.
Since their marriage, Gu Shuyan had had many nightmares, but this was the first time she had ever called out someone's name like this.
Yun Yichen didn't know what Gu Shuyan had been through, but he knew that Gu Rui must be extremely important to her.
When Gu Shuyan woke up the next day, she found that her pillow was wet.
Thinking of her dream last night, Gu Shuyan finished washing up and hurriedly went to the second house's courtyard.
When she went to see Gu Zongjie, he was still asleep. When the maid woke him up and Gu Shuyan looked into his eyes again, they no longer felt the same as yesterday.
"Who...who are you?"
Gu Shuyan felt she must be going crazy, otherwise how could she have thought that the person who spoke to her yesterday was Rui'er?
Gu Zongjie was right in front of her; he was her second uncle's son. How could he possibly be her Ruier?
Besides, her Ruier hadn't even been born yet, so how could she possibly meet him?
Upon hearing Gu Shuyan's words, Gu Zongjie immediately stamped his foot and burst into tears.
“You are bad people, you are bad people. He ate my candy, he ate my pastries. You all ate the pastries that Grandma gave me.”
Gu Zongjie cried and made a scene, his appearance completely different from when he saw Gu Shuyan yesterday.
Although it was noisy, Gu Shuyan heard it differently at No. 2 Middle School.
Yesterday, it was clearly Gu Shuyan who ate the pastries, but Gu Zongjie was referring to you all.
So, Gu Shuyan took out the candy she had prepared that day. "Zongjie, look what this is?"
As soon as Gu Zongjie saw the candy, he immediately stopped crying.
"I want to eat, I want to eat."
Gu Zongjie's gaze remained fixed on Gu Shuyan's hand, his eager expression resembling that of a child begging for candy.
Seeing this, Gu Shuyan picked up a candy and shook it before asking, "If Zongjie answers one question for his sister, all these candies will be given to Zongjie."
Looking at the beautiful and delicious candies, Gu Zongjie nodded quickly.
Upon seeing this, Gu Shuyan asked her first question, "Who did Zongjie see me eating pastries with yesterday?"
Without thinking, Gu Zongjie said, "Little brat, he said he'll stay here for two days and that I should behave."
Gu Zongjie's words made Gu Shuyan gasp, which further confirmed her own thoughts.
Can Zongjie tell me what he looks like? Or is there anything else you guys said?
Gu Zongjie was no longer able to explain these things clearly; after a few words, he almost cried.
However, from his scattered words, Gu Shuyan received a message: Fang had already left.
