Chapter 138 Testing the Waters with Li Xing
When he went downstairs, Li Xingcheng was still running a fever, but not as severe as at night.
After seeing so many heart-breaking things, Li Xing Cheng Yun felt as if he was frozen in an ice cellar.
But just as he was trying to numb himself and not think about those unhappy things——
A cold forehead came over.
Li Xingcheng opened his eyes wide, looking at the little face so close to him, his heart beating violently as if a bench was suddenly kicked over.
"It seems to be still a little hot." Gu Xixi touched it for a moment and then moved away, patting the back of his hand. "Sit here and have a good rest."
Gu Xixi: [Oh, how pitiful! He is not allowed to rest even when he has a fever.]
Gu Xixi: [I was even caught by my shitty dad and used as a background! Too much!!]
The voices in my heart started to become strange.
It seemed to have its own echo, creating ripples in Li Xingcheng's heart.
Li Xingcheng stared ahead in astonishment, watching the group of children running around. It took him a long time to raise his hand to touch his cheek.
So hot.
I don't know if it's because of the fever or something else.
“It’s time to open the presents!”
Amid the cheerful and childish voices, Li Cheyan was escorted to the table where the gifts were placed.
Even the beautiful packaging boxes were carefully stacked into shape by the maids.
The adults stood in the outermost circle, and the children squeezed in the innermost circle.
Through the circles, Li Xingcheng could see the warning look from Li Mingfeng.
If he doesn't step forward at this time, others will gossip.
Li Xingcheng pulled the corners of his mouth, not like he was smiling, but more like he was relaxing and exercising his mouth muscles.
He stood up and was about to walk over there when his cold palm was suddenly grabbed by a small hand.
Gu Xixi looked at the crowded place: [Li Xingcheng looks weak like a sickly person, don't let him be squeezed like a dog. ]
The voice in my heart doesn't sound like a good thing.
But her hands are so warm.
How strange.
Although her forehead was cold, her hands were warm.
It's very comfortable when forehead touches forehead.
I feel safe when my little hand is holding mine.
Gu Xixi deliberately walked very slowly to accommodate his heavy steps, and kept pulling him into the crowd of children without letting go of his hand.
Gu Xixi: [Is there anyone who wants to give Li Cheyan a fork? ]
Gu Xixi: [Then I will really vomit blood. ]
Li Xingcheng stood a little bit back, not interested in the gifts, his eyes quietly looking at the cute little round girl beside him.
Is she worried about the fork?
Is it because of what I said yesterday that I’m afraid he’ll get hurt?
Gu Xixi: [Tong'er, the gossip I heard before said that Li Xingcheng refused to come downstairs, which led to the conflict and he was injured in the chaos.]
Gu Xixi: [Now that Li Xingcheng has gone downstairs obediently, the crisis...]
System: [Xixi, today is a good time to give it a try. ]
Gu Xixi: [? ]
System: [Although I don’t know why, Li Xingcheng did not have a conflict with his father, which means that the predicted crisis has changed.]
Gu Xixi had a bad feeling.
Gu Xixi: [Wait, you mean... the crisis has been modified, and Li Xingcheng will encounter a new, unknown crisis? ]
System: [Bingo! Xixi reacts really quickly~]
Gu Xixi really didn't want to be praised at this time.
Gu Xixi: [Since the birth of the new cheat code, this is the first time I have encountered the danger of being modified! ! ]
Gu Xixi: [Ahhhh, it’s so dirty! ]
System: [Although the process of the crisis has changed, the result will not change. ]
Gu Xixi, who was screaming in her heart, stopped talking for a second: [The process is unknown, but the result for Li Xingcheng is still that his eyes will be stabbed by a fork? ]
System: [Yes! ]
System: [You can take this opportunity to test the waters with Li Xingcheng.]
System: [Look at the changed crisis process and how to deal with it! ]
Li Xingcheng, who couldn't hear what the system was saying, sneezed suddenly.
Why do I have this... very bad feeling?
Gu Xixi: [So... Tong'er, do you think Li Xingcheng is a guinea pig? ]
System: [I didn’t say that~]
Li Xingcheng's eyes were fixed on her back.
Guinea pig? He's a guinea pig?
Is Gu Xixi doing some mysterious experiment on him?
"Wow! This set of tableware is so beautiful!" Li Cheyan's happy exclamation came from the front.
In his hands was a very familiar set of playing house, which Gu Xixi had seen earlier this morning.
The corners of his mouth twitched weakly twice.
Is it really such a coincidence?
Whatever she didn't buy was bought by others and sent here.
The tip of the fork was covered with edible silicone, but when Gu Xixi heard the word "fork", it was like a switch for some kind of phantom pain was turned on.
I can't tolerate it.
However, Li Cheyan didn't seem to be very interested in such toys and just made routine exaggerations.
After Li Cheyan looked at it, the servant put the gifts back into the gift area and brought him new, unopened gifts.
The children sitting there were smiling happily, like the moon surrounded by stars.
Li Xingcheng, standing in the crowd, seemed like a distant, flickering lone star, and was deeply immersed in loneliness and solitude among the crowd.
Maybe because she had been standing for too long, Gu Xixi felt a little tired. She wanted to move her shoulders, but her hand unconsciously pinched his palm.
Feeling her fingers loosening, Li Xingcheng suddenly became a little anxious and quickly held her fingers back.
It's like being afraid of losing a lone boat that you finally found in the vast ocean.
Gu Xixi turned around puzzledly and found that Li Xingcheng's cheeks were frighteningly red.
"Are you having a fever again?" She reached out to touch his forehead again.
Li Xingcheng stammered and stepped back, but was unwilling to let go of her hand: "No."
A sweet smell wafted from the direction of the kitchen, it was the cake just out of the oven.
The servant brought a snow-white carved tray, on which were placed a dozen neatly cut small cakes.
There is a pink and white strawberry on each triangular cake.
Gu Xixi sniffed and was about to join in the fun.
But when she took a closer look, she felt goosebumps on her back.
Each cake is accompanied by a small plate and a small fork...
Ahhhhh!
That’s more than ten small forks!
To Gu Xixi, the ones that appeared at this moment were not ordinary small forks, but more like hidden weapons.
A group of children gathered around, each took a piece of cake, found a place to sit and started eating.
As they ate, they started laughing and making noises, throwing the cake all over the people around them.
"Come, Xingcheng, Xixi, these are yours." Han Yaning brought two pieces of cake alone.
She squatted in front of them, smiled and blinked: "It's a little bigger than theirs!"
Moreover, there was one more strawberry.
"Thank you, Auntie~" Gu Xixi carefully took her portion and nudged Li Xingcheng with her elbow, "Be careful and hold it well, don't fall!"
Listening to Gu Xixi's serious and solemn instructions, Han Yaning couldn't help but smile.
Unexpectedly, her son finally made good friends.
Li Xingcheng knew that the fork would prick his eyes, and his heart was beating like a drum when he was holding the plate.
In order to avoid being bumped into, Gu Xixi took Li Xingcheng to sit in a corner of the hall.
The two of them huddled in the darkness and began to chatter.
