"You're the one who said that. If we disturb you often in the future, you can't be annoyed." Jian Shu said with a smile.
Of course, she said this not because she was really greedy for those things. After all, she already had a huge fortune.
A few more pieces would just be the icing on the cake for her.
She just felt that Gu Zhan was a little lonely.
As a younger generation who enjoys care and love, providing appropriate companionship is something we can do and should do.
"Hahaha, don't mind me. You are welcome to come whenever you want." Gu Zhan said with a smile.
As expected, girls are more considerate and sensible. Those two brats never said such words.
Gu Mingjing: Every time we went to see you before, who was the one who chased us away because we were annoying? That's not the case now, is it?
Oh, man!
After giving and accepting the gift, Jianshu picked up the photo album on the table and opened the first page.
The first page that caught my eye was a family photo.
The background is the familiar courtyard and the familiar ancient jujube tree.
A young man and woman stood side by side under the tree. Both of them had a bit of immaturity on their faces, but one could also vaguely see their future elegance.
The man was holding a baby, about a year old, delicate and adorable. However, the impatient expression on his face and the furrowed brows still revealed the little demon's personality.
Well, it's even cuter though.
In front of the two men stood a little boy, about four or five years old, with red lips and white teeth, looking like a well-behaved little boy. He was holding the man's trouser leg with one hand and holding his mother's hand with the other, looking at the camera with a smile on his face.
One photo, two different expressions, the difference is very obvious.
However, no matter how they perform, it cannot conceal the high level of appearance of the family, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye. What is even more rare is the subtle harmonious atmosphere between the family.
As parents, our eyes are inadvertently paying attention to our children, and as children, every move we make is dependent on our parents.
Between husband and wife, a smile and a glance reveal a strong tacit understanding.
Just by looking at the photos, you can feel the happiness of the family back then.
But now, one of the four members of the family is missing, and one of the four corners is missing. Others can't help but feel regretful when they see it, let alone the person involved?
Jianshu also understands why the photo album is put at the bottom of the box.
When a person is gone, memories become a knife, cruelly cutting scars in the person's heart.
But looking at the spotless cleanness on the album cover, you can tell that someone has fumbled for the album cover countless times in his dreams at midnight, but never dared to open it.
"This kid has never liked taking pictures since he was young. Every time, it was his mother who pulled him and I who held him down to reluctantly take these photos. But because of this, he always looks fierce in every photo, either with a frown or a sour face, as if someone owed him money." Gu Zhan stroked the photo to divert his attention.
As he spoke, he turned the pages. Each photo had a different background.
There are many filming locations, such as under trees, in front of houses, at doorsteps, photo studios, and other places. The time is also irregular, and the people on camera are also different, but what remains unchanged is that impatient expression.
From the age of one, to two, three, five, and ten, in dozens of photos taken together, there is not a single smiling face. Having a blank expression is his biggest compromise.
Jianshu also cooperated. "This guy with a stinky face has remained the same for many years, so he can be considered to have a firm character. However, compared to now, he has changed a lot."
Don't like taking pictures? She didn't realize it, and she didn't know who it was that always dragged her to take pictures when she came back. It was a good thing they went to a different photo studio each time, otherwise, the photographers there would probably know them.
"It was only later that he began to accept taking photos. In fact, he liked taking photos even more." Gu Zhan sighed with a complicated tone.
His hands kept moving and the photo album soon turned to a new page.
Gu Mingjing in the new photo has changed a lot from before.
A smile began to appear on his face. Although the smile was not obvious enough, it was a great improvement over the past few years.
What happened?
A person's character cannot change overnight, especially for someone with a firm mind like Gu Mingjing, it is even more difficult to change what they believe in.
So, something must have happened that caused his change.
But sensing that Gu Zhan was in a low mood, Jianshu did not ask him.
After carefully observing the photos in the album, she soon discovered the clue.
There was something wrong with Gu Mingjing's smile.
A smile that should express happiness, but upon closer inspection, one can reveal hidden sadness.
Perhaps it was because he was too young to perfectly conceal his emotions, or perhaps it was because his sadness was too deep to be completely concealed. In any case, this smile made people feel a little sad.
sad?
Under what circumstances would he be sad?
Based on the age in the photo and combined with the actual situation analysis, Jianshu quickly made a guess.
His gaze turned to the much more mature woman beside him.
Sure enough, she thought to herself.
The woman has matured and become more graceful, but whether it is the change from standing to sitting, or the paleness and weakness revealed on her face, it tells people a fact.
She is sick.
The illness is very serious.
Sure enough, in the next few photos, she looked increasingly weak.
She went from sitting on a chair to leaning back, and finally lying in bed. It was obvious that she was already terminally ill at the time and didn't even have the strength to get out of bed.
Finally, after turning a new page, the woman's figure disappeared from the photo, leaving only the father and his two sons smiling in the camera.
But that smile is so sad.
My heart feels sore and my eyes are sore.
Later, there were fewer and fewer photos. The baby grew up gradually and became more and more outstanding, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.
From that first smile on, the smile never left his face again.
Perhaps, he regretted it from the moment he learned that his mother was ill.
I regret my youthful arrogance, my stubbornness, and my...
That's why I want to spend the rest of my life making up for it, just to avoid any regrets.
Seeing this, Jianshu suddenly understood why he liked to take her out to take pictures so much.
Because we have lost, we cherish it more.
Alas, Jianshu sighed in his heart.
