Chapter 23 This melon is a bit heavy
Gu Jingyan silently went over all the ways to celebrate in his mind.
Finally, the earth-shattering mood returned to calm.
He raised his eyebrows, and said with what he thought was the most gentle gaze and the softest voice: "Xixi, good night."
The tall figure made a slightly discouraging and careful move, tucked in the quilt for Gu Xixi, and prepared to turn off the lights.
But the outstretched hand was stopped.
She's not asleep yet. Should I come later to turn off the lights?
Thinking of this, Gu Jingyan, who was about to get up, was pulled back by a small hand that slipped out from under the quilt.
"I'm not afraid of the dark."
"Then should I turn off the lights?" Gu Jingyan asked uncertainly.
"Yeah." After saying that, the little kid closed his eyes obediently.
After turning off the desk lamp, the only light left in the room was a sliver of light from the corridor, barely illuminating the room.
Before leaving, Gu Jingyan adjusted the two plush toys that were tilted at the head of Gu Xixi's bed, and finally patted their heads.
It was as if he was reminding them to protect Gu Xixi and not let her have nightmares.
That night, Gu Xixi had a dream, but she didn't know if it was a nightmare.
She dreams of being in a book world she has traveled through before.
That was the first time she had a family, a grandpa.
But they are not related by blood. She is a real abandoned baby who was picked up and raised by her grandfather.
Only three days after Gu Xixi traveled through time, her grandfather died unexpectedly.
The family love that was so short-lived that it could not be caught was like a beautiful bubble that burst just when she had just tasted the happiness of having a home.
In every world, she is cannon fodder and a supporting role, so naturally she is not treated as well as the protagonist.
Thinking that in this life, the whole family were cannon fodder, Gu Xixi kept falling in her dreams, falling, as if she could not hold on to anything.
[Xixi, Xixi...]
【Xixi, wake up quickly. 】
The system's call echoed in her mind, and Gu Xixi finally opened her eyes, staring at the pale ceiling in a daze.
The room was heated enough that she didn't feel cool even after covering herself with a blanket.
A small hand stretched out from the quilt, a small foot stepped on the quilt, and the whole person turned into a big slanted character.
Seeing that Gu Xixi had woken up, the system finally breathed a sigh of relief: [Xixi, you just had a nightmare. ]
"Thank you, Tong'er, thank you for waking me up."
[You’re welcome, it’s just a small matter.] The system laughed.
"Tong'er, can this world really provide for my old age?" Gu Xixi suddenly felt doubtful and uneasy. "Will I end up with nothing, just like the previous world?"
[Believe me, Xixi, I picked this world especially for you! ]
The system in my head speaks with a firm tone and full of confidence.
They have lived together in 99 worlds, and this is the 100th world.
This system is generally reliable, but it is occasionally affected by system updates in the book world, causing strange functions to emerge.
But never lose touch at critical moments.
[Xixi, this is your retirement world. I will choose the best and most suitable one for you.]
Gu Xixi said "hmm" and stood up to wash up.
The servant had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he heard the noise in the house, he immediately rushed in to get water for Gu Xixi to wash her face.
Yesterday was Saturday, and Gu Wanwei, who had been busy all day, did not go to the company today.
But she made an appointment with her friends to have coffee and wanted to take Gu Xixi with them.
After obtaining consent from her eldest brother, Gu Wanwei went out with the little baby in her arms.
Gu Jingyan has to go to the neighboring city for something, so it would be nice to have someone to accompany Gu Xixi.
Gu Wanwei's friend has been married and has children. She has a 5-year-old son who has a good personality, is polite and sensible, and may get along well with Gu Xixi.
Children should play with other children more often and have their own circle of friends. ◆
But Gu Xixi doesn't think so.
She thought she was just drinking coffee normally until she saw a little boy standing in front of her who was a head taller than her.
"Xixi, this is Brother Su Yushan, and this is Aunt Qingting."
"Hello, Brother Umbrella, and Aunt Dragonfly~"
When Mu Qingting heard this, she laughed out loud, holding her belly.
"Is this your little niece you just brought home? She's so cute!" Mu Qingting squatted down, held the little girl in her arms and rubbed her forehead, "I always say that daughters are the best. Look, she's so cute and soft. My heart melts just by looking at her."
Gu Wanwei tapped Mu Qingting on the head and winked at Su Yushan: "You are hurting your son's feelings by saying that. You see, Yushan is also very good, sensible and obedient, a real little gentleman."
Especially since he was wearing a black suit today and standing there with his back straight, he looked completely different from those noisy kids.
"I'm not sad," Su Yushan shook his head quickly, "Sister Xixi is already cute, I also want a sister as cute as her!"
Gu Xixi silently compared Su Yushan and Xiao Xiang in her mind, and suddenly felt that Su Yushan looked much more pleasing to the eye.
"Then Yu Shan, when you take your sister out to play, be careful and don't follow strangers."
"I know."
Su Yushan stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture: "Sister Xixi, shall we go?"
"Let's go~"
Now she has fallen to the point where she is only fit to play with little brats.
There is a children's play area next to the cafe. It is spacious, well-equipped, and cleaned and disinfected every day.
Many mothers love to come here to drink coffee and enjoy a short leisure time.
Su Yushan was indeed a little gentleman from head to toe. He didn't play much himself, but he always took her to play.
I pushed the swing for almost half an hour without a single complaint.
"Hey, get out of here! It's our turn to play." When Gu Xixi was drowsy, the little boy's noisy voice disturbed her sleep.
She opened her eyes blearily and saw a seven-year-old boy who was so fat that he was almost round, standing in front of the swing with two boys of similar age.
Compared with them, Su Yushan looks thin.
Gu Xixi also felt tired from playing, so she jumped off the swing and prepared to switch to the seesaw nearby.
"Get out of here, we've taken over this place!" the little fat man shouted with his hands on his hips.
Su Yushan rushed forward and stood in front of Gu Xixi: "This is not your house, sister Xixi, you can play whatever you want."
"Tsk, believe it or not, I will beat you up!" He raised his fist and shook it, a childish version of a ferocious expression appeared on the little fat boy's face.
Gu Xixi was not interested in these childish arguments at all, but the expression on the little fat boy's face reminded her of Xiao Xiang.
I couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
[Tong'er, are there any melons for these three little kids to eat? ] Gu Xixi called in her mind.
To deal with three little brats, you don’t have to ask your pretty aunt for help.
[Ding——The melon is coming! ]
[…This melon is a bit strong.]
Gu Xixi asked herself whether this melon was really hard to swallow.
However, she cleared her throat, pointed at the fat boy in the front and said, "I have magic, don't mess with me!"
The little fat man laughed nonchalantly: "Hahaha, I don't believe you, you big liar."
"You took a shit this morning and didn't wipe your butt!"
Little Fatty: “!!!”
"Not only did you not wipe your butt, you even didn't bother to wash your hands after using the toilet!"
"You peed in your pants last night, but you dried them up in the morning. You didn't even change your pants and are still wearing them!"
The little fat boy's face turned red.
Denying, Gu Xixi turned and pointed at the two little kids beside him.
Her eyes were firm and sacred, which made the two little devils' hearts skip a beat.
"You stole his toy pendant, a bear toy, and it was hidden in your calf pocket."
"He hid your limited edition card in his hat."
After Gu Xixi finished speaking, the little boy on the left rushed forward and pinned the person down, and actually searched out his missing small pendant from his companion's trouser pocket.
The fat boy rushed over and knocked down another one, then opened his hat and found his missing limited edition card.
"She's telling the truth. You stole my things!"
"You stole my card too, what can I say!"
"Break off!"
The three people who came to cause trouble suddenly became so noisy that they had no mood to play on the swings. They pulled each other and ran out of the children's play area.
After the people left, Su Yushan looked at Gu Xixi with admiration: "Sister Xixi, do you... do you really know magic? Can you teach me?"
