"Xiao Xi, today is your birthday, I wish you a happy birthday." Grandma's gentle and friendly voice slowly came to her ears.

In the dim little room, a cute and pretty little girl sat at the table, looking at the cake in front of her with joy, and her beautiful big eyes were full of expectations.

"Thank you grandma." She raised her lips happily and thanked the kind old woman beside her.

The old woman smiled and stroked her head, "Xiao Xi, blow the candles quickly."

The girl nodded, cheered up, ready to blow out the candles on the cake.

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened from the outside, and a thin figure appeared at the door.

Because she was standing in the shadow, she couldn't see her face and expression clearly.

Even so, the little girl can recognize at a glance who the person who suddenly broke in was.

After all, there is only that person in this family except her and grandma.

The girl looked at the woman who was gradually approaching her and unconsciously shrank her body, "Mom, mom..."

"Who is having a baby?" the woman stopped at the table, stared at the palm-sized cake, and suddenly asked.

The girl couldn't help but feel extremely happy when she heard her mother speak to her, and she responded directly, "Today is my birthday."

The woman slowly raised her eyes and stared at the girl in front of her, "Is it you who have lived?"

The girl nodded, "Yes, today is my birthday."

She climbed down from the chair and walked around the woman. After hesitating for a moment, she took the courage to pull the woman's hand and shook it lightly, "Mom, eat cake with Xiaoxi."

The woman slowly turned her head to look at her, her face dark and her eyes were cold, "Who allowed you to celebrate your birthday."

The girl trembled suddenly, and her hand holding the woman couldn't help but relax.

"I..." She slowly lowered her head, not knowing how to answer.

"I'll ask you who allowed you to celebrate your birthday!"

The woman suddenly raised her voice, which scared the girl's shoulders trembled.

"Mom, I'm sorry..." She said with red eyes, her little hands tucked the corners of her clothes, and bit her lips.

She just saw that other children would eat birthday cakes with their family every year, and she felt a little envious, so she couldn't help but say to her grandma that she really wanted to celebrate her birthday.

When the girl heard the apology, the woman's expression not only did not relieve the slightest, but became even more gloomy. "Who wants your sorry! Is your sorry useful? Is it useful?"

The anger on her face seemed to become stronger and stronger. She couldn't help but pull the girl's collar and lift her up from the ground.

The girl's little face suddenly turned pale, and her heart was obviously panicked, tears fell down, and a low cry slowly began to sound.

Seeing this, the old woman next to her was shocked and quickly spoke out to dissuade her, "Xiao Zhi, what are you doing? Don't do stupid things!"

The woman ignored her and just stared at the girl in front of her, looking at her with hatred, "If it weren't for you, how could I become like this? It was you, it was you who ruined my life! You shouldn't be celebrated for birth, you were born with a curse!"

The girl's little face suddenly turned pale, "I'm sorry, mom, I'm sorry..."

"Don't call me mom, I didn't want to give birth to you at all!" The woman stared at her with her eyes wide open and shouted at her.

The girl's collar was getting tighter and tighter, and her breathing gradually became difficult, and the suffocation feeling gradually approached her.

She felt very painful, tears kept flowing, and she was panting hard, sweat slowly flowing down her forehead, mixed in her tears, falling between her lips.

It's so bitter, even more bitter than black traditional Chinese medicine.

In the darkness, the candlelight was still floating slowly, and the candle was still burning, with a layer of fine tears falling.

Looking at the bright candlelight in front of him, the words like curses kept ringing in his ears. Yan Xi's expression changed, and he subconsciously raised his hand to brush away, knocking the exquisite cake to the ground in an instant.

The people present quickly changed their faces and looked at Yan Xi in surprise.

Yan Xi had a pale face and looked at the candlelight that fell to the ground but was still burning. His legs suddenly collapsed and fell straight down.

Gu Moyan's eyes sterned, and he quickly raised his hand and wrapped it around her waist so that she would not fall.

"What's wrong with you? I feel uncomfortable?" He looked straight at her and asked with concern.

Yan Xi did not answer, but kept trembling in his arms, his expression full of panic and fear.

Her body kept trembling and her breathing became more and more difficult. She seemed to have lost all her strength and slowly slid down from Gu Moyan's arms.

Gu Moyan squatted down with her and saw her sitting on the ground, holding her knees with her hands, shrinking herself into a ball, hanging her head, and her cherry lips trembled slightly, as if she was muttering something.

His handsome eyebrows slowly frowned, slowly approached her, listening to her whispers.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

Her eyes were still looking at the burning candlelight, murmured like a devilish silly.

Gu Moyan's eyes paused, and he raised his hand and gently stroked her back, trying to calm her down. Unexpectedly, her body suddenly trembled, like a frightened rabbit, panicked and at a loss.

Gu Moyan's heart suddenly hurt, and his big hand gently embraced her into his arms, while his other hand slowly covered her eyes, covering her gaze.

Her trembling frequency gradually decreased, and her expression seemed to ease a little.

Jian Wei stood aside, looking worried. Seeing Yan Xi seemingly calmed a little, she couldn't help but approach her, "Xiao Xi, are you okay?"

In her impression, Yan Xi has always been calm and rational. This was the first time she saw Yan Xi like this, as if she suddenly became a different person, which made her very worried.

The sound of footsteps gradually approaching made Yan Xi's body tremble suddenly, and memories of the past surged towards her like a tide, and the familiar suffocation also followed.

She subconsciously shrank her body and kept breathing hard to get less and less oxygen.

Seeing her breathing hard, Gu Moyan couldn't help but change his eyes and quickly stopped Jian Wei from approaching, "Wait, don't come here first."

Jian Wei was stunned for a moment, full of doubts, but she remained honestly and did not move forward.

Gu Moyan slowly turned his eyes, looked at Du Lingyang behind him, and asked in a deep voice, "How can we relieve her pain?"

Although he didn't understand medicine, he could see that Yan Xi was ill.

She looked very uncomfortable, sweating, trembling, and difficulty breathing. It was not like an ordinary disease, but like a mental illness.

His only thought now was to rescue her from this painful and sad state.

Du Lingyang looked at Yan Xi with a serious expression. After frowning for a few seconds, he couldn't help but whisper, "If I didn't make a mistake in analysis, it should be an disorder. Patients with this disease are usually no different from normal people, but they will be aroused in a specific situation. Chest tightness, shortness of breath, fear and tremor are all typical symptoms of this disease."

Gu Moyan's moiré eyes stared at him tightly, with a cold face, "What I care about now is how can she feel better."

"You also have psychological disorders. You should understand that removing the source of her disease is the most important thing now. Next, you can only wait for her to relieve herself." Du Lingyang said slowly after a silence.

Gu Moyan's handsome face became colder and colder, and his thin lips were tightly pursed, without saying a word.

Du Lingyang sighed helplessly, walked slowly to the unburned candle, slowly raised his foot, stepped on it, and extinguished all the candles.

Jian Wei looked at Du Lingyang's actions, as if she suddenly understood something. She hurriedly walked to the overturned cake, pulled over her thin shirt and covered it.

The coldness on Gu Mo Yanjun's face slightly faded away, and the big hand that covered Yan Xi's eyes slowly moved away.

He put one hand on her waist, and slowly walked around under her knees with the other, gently lifting her up.

Yan Xi did not struggle, but just trembled slightly and buried her little face in his arms.

Gu Moyan looked cold and walked out slowly with Yan Xi in his arms.

Joyvan looked at Gu Moyan's departure back and couldn't help but sigh slowly, "It's really not a family, I don't go into the family. Both of them actually have certain psychological disorders, so it's no wonder that the strangeness attracts each other."

Jian Wei stood aside, looking puzzled, "What does it mean? Gu Moyan has a psychological disorder?"

A frivolous smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Joyvan's mouth, and he laughed at Jian Wei, "He is a cleansing disease, I just exaggerated it on purpose."

Jian Wei's beautiful eyebrows slowly frowned, obviously she looked very disbelief.

Although she didn't have much contact with Joyvan, she also knew that this man always loved to smile at the most. It was not easy to say three of the ten sentences that he said were the truth.

Seeing him like this, he knew that he was looking for lies to fool her.

However, there is a man who will never lie and his words are the most credible.

Jian Wei turned her head and looked at Du Lingyang, frowned and said, "What psychological barrier does Gu Moyan have?"

Joeyvan's expression suddenly changed, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes stared straight at Du Lingyang, and he turned his eyes to him, indicating that he would not say it out.

However, he seemed to have forgotten that Du Lingyang was a veritable "medical nerd", a man who always only practices the truth and respects the facts.

"She is Yan Xi's friend, so it's okay to tell her." He responded slowly.

Jian Wei was slightly stunned, then quickly turned her eyes to Joeyvan.

Joyvan quickly recovered from a serious look, and nodded at Jian Wei with a smile.

Jian Wei glared at him, then quickly turned back to Du Lingyang, "Don't think about hiding it from me, I will know it in the future even if I don't know it now."

"I don't want to hide it from you." Du Lingyang looked at her and spoke slowly, "It's just that Mo Yan has a special identity. The news of his illness cannot be spread, otherwise it will have a great impact on the Emperor Group. Therefore, for the sake of caution, we will not disclose it to others easily."

When Jian Wei heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, "Since it's such an important thing, why do you want to tell me? Are you not afraid of me talking around?"

Du Lingyang stared at her, and after a few seconds of silence, he suddenly said, "You won't."

Jian Wei was slightly stunned, then she couldn't help but say curiously, "How can you be sure?"

"I just made sure that you are not the one who easily reveals your secrets from your personality, behavior, etc.," he paused, and then said slowly, "What's more, combining theory and practice, Yan Xi is your best friend, and you won't make things difficult for her."

Jian Wei looked at him with a surprised look, as if she was very surprised.

She thought Du Lingyang was a fool who only knew medical research, but she never thought that when he analyzed people, he could be as knowledgeable as analyzing data.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, he is indeed right.

She just wanted to know if Gu Moyan's illness had any effect on Xiao Xi, and she didn't care much about everything else.

She pursed her lips and slowly raised her eyes to Du Lingyang, "Tell me, what disease does Gu Moyan suffer from? I promised to keep my mouth shut."

Du Lingyang looked at her, and after a few seconds of silence, he slowly spoke, "Misophobia."

As if she was afraid that she would not understand, she added, "It manifested as disgust towards women and hated all physical contact with women. Even the simplest handshake movement requires great tolerance."

Jian Wei looked shocked, looked at Du Lingyang in disbelief, and subconsciously vetoed, "Impossible, Gu Moyan was holding Xiaoxi away just now, how could he have misogyny? Have you made something wrong?"

"Yan Xi is an exception." Du Lingyang responded slowly.

When Jian Wei heard this, she suddenly felt incredible and smiled unconsciously and waved her hand, "Are you kidding me? He can't touch a woman, how can he touch Xiao Xi? Isn't Xiao Xi a woman? You should find a more reliable reason to lie. This is really too unrestrained."

Du Lingyang looked at her with a calm face, "I never lie."

Jian Wei's smile froze at the corner of her mouth in an instant, and her eyes were staring at Du Lingyang, "What is the purpose of Gu Moyan approaching Xiao Xi? Is it related to his misogyny?"

Du Lingyang's eyes moved slightly. After being silent for a long time, he still nodded slowly.

Jian Wei's face suddenly turned pale, and a hint of anger gradually surged in her heart.

No wonder...No wonder Emperor Gu is so caring for the unpopular daughter of the Yan family...

It turns out that it is because of this...

Xiao Xi is already sensitive to emotions. She finally forgets the pain of the past and ushers in a new relationship, but she never thought that this relationship was false from the beginning!

The more Jian Wei thought about it, the more painful her heart was. She felt unwilling and resentful for Yan Xi, and also blamed herself for not stopping her in time.

Thinking of her stupidly matching them, she couldn't help but feel regretful.

Now that things have come to this point, how can she tell Xiaoxi the truth?

What happened just now made her understand that Xiaoxi had a strong sense of trust in Gu Moyan and relied heavily on him. Even if she approached, she would subconsciously refuse her, but she did not refuse Gu Moyan.

This shows that Gu Moyan has an irreplaceable position in Xiao Xi's heart.

Now that Xiao Xi is ill again, she can never hit her again.
