The little guy shivered and kept burrowing into his arms, then curled up into a small ball, like a frightened animal seeking security in his arms. He looked extremely pitiful.

Gu Zelan's heart felt a little painful.

He gently stroked the back of the little guy's head, with rare tenderness, and said, "Don't be afraid, brother is here, thunder can't fall on Mimi."

After hearing these words again after a lifetime, Huaimi couldn't help crying.

The loneliness and grievances of these days all turned into tears at this moment, pouring out of my eyes.

She pressed tightly against the boy's warm chest, as if this was the only way she could find comfort.

A bolt of lightning flashed across, and Gu Zelan quickly reached out to cover her little ears. The little guy's body shook again with the thunder.

What a pathetic coward, a thunderbolt can scare her like this.

Gu Zelan felt funny and a little distressed at the same time. The little guy has been afraid of thunder since he was a child. He still remembered that the first time he heard the thunder, the little guy was so frightened that he cried loudly. Ye Zhen couldn't coax her anymore, and she thought she was there.

I felt uncomfortable and went to the hospital in the rain for a check-up.

I have seen children who are afraid of thunder, but it is rare that they are as afraid as she is.

It was pouring rain outside the window, the thunder gradually became smaller, and the mood of the little guy in his arms gradually calmed down.

The corners of Gu Zelan's lips curved in a slight arc, and she patted her back gently, "You coward, you really can't help but be scared at all!"

The little head buried in his chest did not move.

Gu Zelan felt that the clothes on his chest were wet, and he added with a smile: "If you are such a coward, a thunder can scare you to tears. What if you don't have your brother?"

The little guy said nothing, hugging him tightly with open arms and pressing his face against his chest, as if he was afraid that he would leave.

Gu Zelan lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, with a hint of endearment in his voice, "It seems like a coward can't live without my brother, so I'll just have to stay with you!"

Huaimi sniffed and pressed her face closer.

The corners of Gu Zelan's lips couldn't stop rising, and he stretched out his hand to pull her head, "Okay, let's raise your head and take a look, are the eyes of the little crybaby blinded by crying?"

Huaimi shook her head and refused to get up from his arms.

"Oh? Is that coward too shameless to show his face to others?"

certainly not!

Huaimi continued to shake his head.

"Then why can't you raise your head?"

Huaimi didn't respond.

"Have you turned into a little mute?" Gu Zelan's voice was filled with laughter, and he continued to tease her, "Little mute, come and see, brother, are you so scared that you can't speak?"

Huaimi felt a little suffocated, so she buried herself in his chest and muttered: "Mimi is not si(yes)." The little mute.

"Oh, it turns out I didn't become mute! It seems I was just frightened..."

Mimi was not frightened!

Huaimi finally raised his head.

The little guy's eyes were red, and his nose was also red. He looked at him with wet eyes, a little aggrieved and angry, not to mention how pitiful he was.

Gu Zelan stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on her face, "It turned out that she cried like a little cat, so ugly! No wonder she didn't dare to raise her head."

Little Huaimi pursed her lips and looked like she was about to cry again.

My brother actually called me ugly again!

"If you cry any more, it will be even uglier."

Xiao Huaimi endured it all her life.

Gu Zelan carried her to the bathroom, pointed at the little guy in the mirror and said, "Look, is the little cat inside crying ugly?"

Huaimi looked over and saw that her face in the mirror was full of tears, her eyes were watery, and her hair was messed up from crying. She did look a little ugly.

She turned away embarrassedly, not wanting to look at it.

Gu Zelan held back her laughter and placed her on the stage, "Sit tight and don't fall down."

Huaimi sat obediently.

Gu Zelan twisted the hot towel and washed the little guy's face, not forgetting to joke: "Now that it's clean, you can meet people."

Huaimi ignored it. When Gu Zelan was immersed in washing the face towel, she secretly raised her head and took a look at herself in the mirror.

I looked really clean in the mirror, with no tears on my face.

Gu Zelan raised her eyes and looked into the mirror, catching the little guy's gaze and couldn't help but feel funny.

"It turns out that the little cat loves stinky beauty so much!"

Mimi is not a little cat!

But seeing herself becoming beautiful again, Huaimi smiled shyly.

After cleaning her, Gu Zelan carried her to bed, "Young girl, it's not thundering anymore, let's continue sleeping!"

I heard from Aunt Zhang that the little one didn't sleep much this afternoon. He was woken up by thunder just after falling asleep for a while. It's already ten o'clock, and Gu Zelan has to get up early to go to school tomorrow.

However, the little one was probably frightened and refused to lie down in bed obediently, so Gu Zelan had to hold her and coax her for a while.

It didn't take long for the little one to fall asleep in his arms. She looked very well-behaved while sleeping, her long eyelashes were still stained with moisture, and her face was as red as a pink peach after crying.

Gu Zelan tried to put her on the crib, but the little one was very alert, as if she could notice his movements even when she was asleep.

Gu Zelan had no choice but to carry her to his room and let her sleep in his arms.

Huaimi had a sad dream. She dreamed about her past events when she was struck by lightning.

She was struck by lightning and only had half her life left. Her brother was always sending her spiritual power to protect her inner elixir, telling her not to be afraid. With him around, nothing would happen to Mimi.

She woke up crying while dreaming.

There was darkness all around, and through the dim light coming from the window, she saw her brother sleeping next to her.

Huaimi quietly leaned into Gu Zelan's arms, nestled in his arms and lay down obediently, just like they had been dependent on each other in their previous lives.

Gu Zelan opened her eyes slightly and looked at the little cub that carefully crawled over and lay down next to her, and her heart melted.

The little guy is so well-behaved that he is really irresistible.

Ye Zhen came back from outside in the middle of the night. She took a shower and came to hug little Huaimi, but found that little Huaimi was holding on to Gu Zelan's clothes and wouldn't let go.

The next morning, Ye Zhen made breakfast and Gu Zelan changed little Huaimi's clothes on the sofa.

Ye Zhen asked casually: "Have you decided which school to recommend to?"

"Go to Huai University! It's close to home."

"Don't you think about Beiqing?"

Gu Zelan: "It's too far. I don't want to go because I'm afraid I won't get used to it."

"It's not as exaggerated as you said! In fact, the conditions in Beijing and Qing are better than those in Shanghuai, and the academic atmosphere is also stronger. This is related to your future development. You don't have to worry about your family. Your father is now in stable condition. I have matters here.

We are on the right track..."

Ye Zhen felt somewhat guilty for her eldest son. He was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he helped her deal with the changes in the family. In the past year or so, he had taken care of Huaimi more. The family should be his support, not a burden.

She also hopes that Gu Zelan can choose the most ideal school and major like other children.

“The physics department of Shanghai Huai University is not bad, and I am used to living here and don’t want to leave this city.”

Huaimi seemed to understand a little better after listening to the conversation between her brother and her mother.

No matter what her brother decides, she supports him.

Of course, it's better to have the best of both worlds.

She doesn't want to be separated from her brother, and she also hopes that her brother can go to the ideal university.

"Have you really thought about it?" Ye Zhen asked again.

"I have thought about it." Gu Zelan helped little Huaimi put on her shoes, and then pinched her face, "You are so timid and timid, and would be scared to death if there was a thunder. You will definitely not be able to do it without your brother, right?"

Huaimi: Mimi is not a squeamish person!

Mimi is just afraid of thunder. After all, her body in her previous life was the locust tree that was most afraid of thunder.

However, she was still very happy that her brother could stay, so she nodded her head.

Dad, mom, brother and her will always be together.

Looking at her sensible son and daughter, Ye Zhen smiled softly and said, "Well, then we have to continue to work hard for our brother, who has to take care of both his father and his sister."

Brother, it's really not easy.

Little Huaimi climbed onto Gu Zelan, hugged his neck, leaned forward and kissed him.

Gu Zelan pushed the bottle to her, "I'm clingy, and I'm making my brother's mouth water. Go drink your milk!"

After Gu Zelan's recommended school was decided, Fatty felt sorry for him for a long time.

However, what is surprising is that Shen Xixin from Huaxi and Gu Zelan chose to attend Huai University at the same time, and they were both majoring in physics, which made many people wonder.

"Brother Lan, let me tell you, what are you top students thinking? It seems that we have already discussed it. Instead of going to Beiqing, we chose to stay in Shanghuai. Isn't this a waste? Is there something wrong between you and Shen Xixin? Shameful agreement?" Monkey asked Gu Zelan today when he heard the news that Shen Xixin was also admitted to Huai University.

"What do you mean by a shady agreement? Monkey, please tell me clearly, it is related to our brother Lan's reputation." Qi Mengyu smiled with evil intentions.

Gu Zelan's expression was indifferent, "Wouldn't it be nice to stay and build your hometown?"

Fatty: "...I also thought that Lan Shen would definitely go to two universities, Beijing and Qing. Unexpectedly, he only chose the school next door."

Qi Mengyu patted the fat man on the shoulder, "Don't look down on your neighbor so much. If you can get into the physics department next door, I will call you uncle after Xiao Huaimi."

Fatty:……

His grades really didn’t pass!

Although the school next door is often ridiculed by experimental classes, its national ranking is actually not bad, second only to Beijing and Qing.

Monkey said: "Lao Liu didn't advise you to think about it again?"

After all, every year in the college entrance examination, everyone pays more attention to how many Beijing and Qing universities each school has passed.

Gu Zelan: "No, he approves of my choice."

Qi Mengyu: "Don't worry about it! Brother Lan, a scholar like Shen Xixin can become a talent no matter which school he goes to. If you have this spare time, why not cram it in temporarily and read more review materials to save the time?" After the test results came out, I was disciplined by Lao Liu."

"Ahhh - I still haven't read two chapters of physics, let's take a test!" The fat man wailed.

After the final exam, Gu Zelan had some free time and took Xiao Huaimi to visit Gu Li'an.

It happened to be a thunderstorm day again, but the thunder was not loud today, and Xiao Huaimi did not tremble with fear like that day.

But she still refused to get out of his arms.

Gu Zelan squeezed her swollen cheeks and said, "A child without parents is such a pitiful child. He was so frightened by thunder that he didn't even dare to go to the ground."

"Mom, dad, love, Mimi."

She is not a little pitiful, she now has a father, a mother, and a brother.

"Well, look, daddy doesn't care about you at all."

Huaimi was fuming, her stinky brother always said bad things about her in front of her father! She took her father's hand and rubbed it, "Dad, Mimi, I miss you."

The person on the bed took her little hand and squeezed it.

Dad misses Mimi too, right?

Huaimi asked, babbling.

Gu Lian pinched it again.

Huaimi lowered her head and kissed the back of her father's hand.

Gu Zelan looked at this scene and chuckled, "You little flatterer, do you know what daddy hates the most?"

Huaimi shook his head and looked at his brother curiously, waiting for his answer.

Gu Zelan pinched her face and said, "He hates Jiao Didi's crybaby the most. He also hates the coquettish king and the coward."

Huaimi:Shocked.jpg

Dad's fingers seemed to move again.

Huaimi shook her head, her father would not hate her, his father had just responded to him, he liked Mimi very much.

The stinky brother lied!

Gu Zelan looked at the little guy's surprised and confused face, and couldn't help but pursed his lips to suppress a smile, "Okay, sit down by yourself, and my brother will help dad wipe himself. We have to attend Grandpa Shen's birthday tomorrow, so we won't be able to come over. Look at dad, spend more time with him today."

Huaimi sat obediently on the nursing chair beside the bed, watching her brother fetch hot water.
