Gu Miao skipped over to Gu Qi, feeling very happy. She excitedly wanted to hug his arm, but she hesitated and didn't dare to get close, and finally had to retract her hand.
My eldest brother has always been aloof and reserved, and doesn't like to talk, just like a banished immortal in the clouds. Mortals cannot and dare not blaspheme him.
The taciturn elder sister is somewhat similar to the elder brother, but she is not afraid of her elder sister, but she has always been afraid of the elder brother, especially when his flawless handsome face turns cold. Even if he doesn't speak, that look can scare her to the point of weakness.
Gu Qi glanced at her with cold eyes and hummed softly.
I haven't seen my younger sister for nearly four years. She has grown a lot taller and looks more and more like our mother.
Gu Miao laughed and explained, "Brother, my sister and I took an exam yesterday, so I didn't know you were home yesterday. My sister and I just came back from collecting our final report cards the other day. Brother, how long will you stay this time? When will you come back after the Chinese New Year? Brother, did you buy me a New Year's present? You send us presents every year! My sister and I are different this year, right? Don't be exactly the same again!"
Gu Qi always liked quietness and couldn't stand noise. But the other party was his own sister after all, so he had to endure it.
"Wait for ten days, the fifth day of the first lunar month. The gifts are on the table in the hall, all pens."
He quickly passed his little sister and walked towards Ying with his son in his hand. His eyes were cold and deep, and the corners of his mouth were tightly curled, showing a stern but intimidating look.
"Mom, I said something to you in the hospital, you shouldn't have forgotten it, right?"
Ying dodged and blinked, hesitating: "No... I just knocked on the door to see if she woke up. I've been back for a long time, but I haven't seen her yet. Don't I worry about her?"
The eldest son rarely gets angry, but when he does, he can be very scary.
Just a glance of his cold eyes was enough to scare people to death, and it scared her to death!
Gu Qi's face darkened and he pushed his son's round head.
"Little sister, take little tiger to drink some water."
Gu Miao glanced secretly at her old mother, not daring to step forward to beg for mercy or say anything, and quickly ran to the front hall holding Little Tiger's hand.
Ying pretended to suddenly remember something and said with a smile, "Aqi, I almost forgot! Just now your uncle Qin bought roast duck and a bottle of wine and asked you to have lunch at his house!"
"Yeah." Gu Qi said calmly: "I understand. I'll talk to you when I have time."
When Ying heard this, she became anxious and urged: "It's almost noon now, why aren't you here? Lao Qin has something to tell you, and Tiantian has come to see you twice!"
Gu Qi's eyes were calm: "I'm busy."
"Why are you busy?" Ying said hurriedly, "They must have something important to talk to you about. Don't let them wait too long."
Gu Qi's face was gloomy. "Xing'er is still sick. I have to stay at home to take care of her. If it's really an urgent matter, you can talk about it. There's no need to eat or drink. If it's not an urgent matter, we can talk about it when I have time."
Ying opened her mouth, but found she didn't know how to persuade Xia Xian, so she stopped talking awkwardly.
Originally, the economic situation of my family was much better than that of Lao Qin's family, but the old man suddenly passed away due to illness, and the family was suddenly in a mess!
The children were still young at the time, with the eldest only 15. The family's mainstay was gone, their income was cut off, and they also owed money for their grandfather's funeral, which made the situation even worse.
All relatives and friends were afraid of being implicated, so they tried to hide and make excuses. Lao Qin, who lived on the street in front, was the worst of the bunch, avoiding their family like the plague.
Later, Gu Qi worked in a shipyard with a bright future, and the Qin family immediately resumed their fawning attitude.
The two sons didn't say it, but in their hearts they were somewhat dissatisfied with the Qin family, and they were no longer as affectionate and affectionate as before.
Gu Qi handed the net bag in his hand to his mother and said calmly, "Mom, I bought this at the food market."
Ying took it with a smile on her face, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around to slip away.
Suddenly, Gu Qi called her, his voice as cold as water.
"Mom, I will take Xing'er and Xiaohuzi back to Yucheng after the Chinese New Year. She needs to take care of her health during this period, so please don't bother her anymore."
What? !
Ying opened her eyes wide, too shocked to speak.
…
In the afternoon, Chen Xingling woke up in a daze. He was reluctant to leave the warm bed. He rubbed the pillow lazily, and consciousness slowly began to return.
Outside the blurry glass of the small window, there were only dead branches and old trees in the yard swaying back and forth in the cold wind. Apparently, the wind had started to blow outside again, and the cold wind was blowing wildly and violently.
Listening to the whistling cold wind, Chen Xingling didn't want to get up anymore, and even couldn't bear to open his eyes.
Suddenly, she discovered something, and the feeling made her turn over.
I saw a tall and handsome figure sitting next to the bookshelf by the window, his back as straight as a pine tree, a book placed in front of him, and his slender hands resting upright on it.
The cold light coming in through the small window shone on his flawless profile, making his temperament even more desolate, and his entire body was filled with a sense of abstinence that no mortal being could touch.
Chen Xingling: “…”
Well, I have to admit that I was once again mesmerized by my old man's handsome face.
Gu Qi was reading very seriously. Not only was his posture straight and elegant, it looked like he was in meditation. Apart from occasionally turning the pages, his back was straight and firm like a mountain.
Chen Xingling swallowed helplessly.
At this moment, Gu Qi slightly turned sideways in confusion, and looked at her with cold eyes.
"Are you awake?" he asked, "Are you feeling better? Are you still dizzy?"
Chen Xingling smiled sweetly: "I'm not dizzy anymore, I feel much better."
Suddenly, her eyes fell on the door lock and she blinked suspiciously.
She remembered that she seemed to have locked the door earlier because she was afraid that the extremely vicious mother-in-law would break in.
Gu Qi guessed something and explained, "I have the key."
Chen Xingling was not surprised at all. He looked over and asked, "Where's Xiao Hu?"
"He was taking a nap." Gu Qi raised his eyebrows and answered, "The kang next door was on fire, and he was sleeping on it."
Next door is my brother's room. The kang over there is connected to the wall here. As long as the kang over there is heated, my room will also become warm.
The two younger sisters lived in one room, and the old mother lived in another. Their kangs had been heated for a long time, but this side was still cold.
Chen Xingling was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily.
"No wonder I felt so warm! I thought the quilt was finally doing its job, but it turned out to be the firewall that finally stopped being lazy."
Gu Qi's mouth corners slightly raised, and his voice was full of concern.
"It's freezing cold in the capital in winter. Don't save firewood. Keep warm when you need to, otherwise you'll easily fall ill. You're from the south, and you can't resist the cold as well as the people who live here."
She speaks in a playful tone that's kind of cute, I don't know where she learned it from.
After hearing this, Chen Xingling immediately guessed that it was his mother-in-law who lied to him and said that she was saving firewood and was reluctant to heat the kang. In fact, it was his mother-in-law who refused to do so, saying that she had to wait for her brother-in-law to come back, otherwise it would be a waste.
She laughed in her heart, but said smoothly: "Okay, then the southerners will listen to you. Let's all light the fire before we go south after the New Year, otherwise it will be very cold in the house."
Gu Qi opened the drawer, took out two small iron boxes and placed them beside the bed.
Chen Xingling looked at the round tin box covered with gorgeous peony flowers, and was a little overwhelmed.
"Um...what are these?"
