He tore off the note, locked the door, picked up the first gift his mother had given him, and cried silently in bed.
He wouldn't open the door or answer anyone's calls.
The bigger the commotion outside, the better. If it reaches Mom's ears, maybe she'll come back to see me...
No way.
His very existence was a mistake...
"Fish? Baby fish?"
Xu Zhaozhao's slightly worried voice came from beside him, pulling Gu Yulin out of his thoughts.
He looked up at Xu Zhaozhao again, his eyes even more swollen, and water stains spread across Xu Zhaozhao's skirt.
Gu Yulin wept silently, his shoulders trembling as he sobbed, but he didn't make a sound.
Xu Zhaozhao took the opportunity to pull her hand away and wipe away the tear stains on Gu Yulin's face.
Seeing his red, tear-filled eyes, Xu Zhaozhao's eyes also reddened.
Just now, for some reason, Gu Yulin kept shouting words like "liar, big liar".
Xu Zhaozhao truly felt the pain in her heart.
"Baby, don't cry."
Xu Zhaozhao's voice involuntarily trembled with tears, "Mommy won't lie to you, I'll always, always be with you."
Gu Yulin burst into tears again, burying his head in Xu Zhaozhao's arms and crying even harder.
Yin Qi is a big liar; he believes his mother.
Mom won't abandon him.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and the two of them remained motionless in their poses.
Xu Zhaozhao's arms went numb from holding him, but she didn't dare let go. Only by feeling Gu Yulin's body temperature could she feel safe.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Yulin stopped crying, his physical reactions subsided, and he quietly stayed in Xu Zhaozhao's arms.
"Um."
A soft nasal sound broke the silence.
Xu Zhaozhao subconsciously looked into her arms, and Gu Yulin also looked up at her, nodding heavily.
"I believe in my mother."
Although her voice still sounded very nasal, her eyes no longer held sadness or grief, but rather a strong determination.
Xu Zhaozhao pinched his little nose and chuckled, "You've cried like a little kitten."
She put Gu Yulin on the bed and said, "Mom will get you a towel to wipe your face."
Gu Yulin saw her reflection in the mirror and her face flushed instantly.
He nodded with his eyes lowered.
He cried like a little kitten in front of his mother, how unmanly of him!
Xu Zhaozhao went to the bathroom to get a hot towel and wipe Gu Yulin's face. He originally wanted to do it himself, but Xu Zhaozhao stopped him.
Gu Yulin cried until she was covered in sweat. Her eyes, nose, cheeks, and chin were all red, and there were still some wet droplets sticking to her long eyelashes.
My son is so cute it's unfair!
The nanny brought in a bowl of thin porridge and slowly fed Gu Yulin—it was almost evening, and Gu Yulin hadn't eaten anything all day.
Xu Zhaozhao was extremely fortunate that, although her alcohol tolerance was low, she was still able to wake up the next day.
She didn't even dare to imagine that if she hadn't woken up today, Gu Yulin would have starved her for a whole day...
Sure enough, drinking leads to trouble!
After he finished the porridge, Xu Zhaozhao heated up some milk and told him to drink it slowly.
She even moved her own blankets and pillows to Gu Yulin's room without any hesitation, clearly indicating that she was going to "share a bed" with him tonight.
She couldn't rest easy and had to stay by Gu Yulin's side at all times.
Xu Zhaozhao shrank under the covers, with a childish cartoon playing on the TV in front of her.
"Baby Fish, confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely!"
Xu Zhaozhao's expression turned serious. "Did Yin Qi say or do anything to you?"
Of course, this was not something she could come up with.
When she heard Gu Yulin lock the door, her mind went completely blank, and she couldn't think of anything.
After Xia Huai brought Xu Zhaozhao back, she didn't disturb them, but instead investigated the reason why Gu Yulin was on a hunger strike and refusing to see anyone.
She didn't have much contact with Yu Yu, but she knew that he wasn't a child who would have such big emotional fluctuations for no reason.
In some ways, he is even more mature than Xu Zhaozhao.
Xu Zhaozhao took some time to reply to Xia Huai's message.
Shh: It seems like yesterday when I went out with you, Yu Yu thought I didn't want him anymore and called me a big liar qwq
Shh: Sister Xia Huai, you should go back first. I'll stay with him tonight. It really scared me to death! [Panic][Panic]
Xia Huai didn't believe this reason; it wasn't the first time she had taken Xu Zhaozhao out all night.
Remembering that Gu Yulin seemed off during the recording of a variety show, they immediately asked someone to check the surveillance footage from the children's rest room.
The response they gave was: "The surveillance cameras in that lounge have been sabotaged; I'm pretty sure it was done intentionally."
"I'm sorry, miss, the other party is more skilled than me, I cannot fix it."
Only Xiao Kai, Gu Yulin, and Yin Qi were in the lounge.
Xia Huai sighed softly.
He typed on the screen and sent a WeChat message to Xu Zhaozhao.
Xia Huai: Be careful of Yin Qi, don't let him get too close to Yu Yu.
After sending the message, she left the villa to deal with the backlog of documents that had accumulated due to her two days of absence from work.
Xu Zhaozhao was lying on her son's big bed after taking a shower when she saw the message from Xia Huai.
The brain cells that occasionally wake up come in handy at this time.
He moved Gu Yulin's shoulder closer as he looked at the storybook, making him look into his eyes with seriousness.
After all, she was just a child and couldn't completely hide her emotions. When Gu Yulin heard her question, her gaze unconsciously darted away.
"No……"
He denied it.
But they lacked confidence.
Xu Zhaozhao frowned. "Baby, Mommy won't lie to you, so please don't hide anything from Mommy, okay?"
Gu Yulin lowered his eyes, the cheerful background music of the cartoon still playing in his ears, and he dared not look Xu Zhaozhao in the eye.
"he……"
Gu Yulin pursed his lips. "He said my parents would abandon me, that... I'm a pitiful wretch no one wants..."
He looked up and met Xu Zhaozhao's gaze, his voice filled with undisguised grievance, "He said my existence is a mistake."
"fart!"
A second after he finished speaking, Xu Zhaozhao added a phrase about national essence.
Her body trembled slightly beneath her pajamas; she was furious.
“Baby, if someone says such hurtful things to you again, you must tell Mommy.”
Xu Zhaozhao hugged Gu Yulin tightly, saying, "It's all fake. Mom and Dad will always be with you."
"Um."
Gu Yulin responded obediently and hugged Xu Zhaozhao back.
He didn't mention the divorce Yin Qi had brought up; he didn't want to put pressure on Xu Zhaozhao.
Actually, when Xu Zhaozhao appeared in his room just now, Gu Yulin had already refuted half of Yin Qi's words.
It's true that Mom wants a divorce, but it's probably not true that she doesn't want him...
Where Xu Zhaozhao couldn't see, Gu Yulin raised an eyebrow slightly.
Hmm~
Gu Qingyan is really disappointing.
