Li Jinze paused, then continued to raise the book in his hand: "Of course I am reading."
Gu Zichen nodded in understanding: "That's right, then your eyes always drift to other places..."
"No, I've been reading."
Li Jinze shook his head.
Gu Manman sat on a stool with a lift function, doing simple sewing work with the needle and thread in her hand, but her eyes kept looking at Li Jinze and Gu Zichen aside.
What are those two talking about?
Without paying attention, a sharp needle pricked his finger.
"hiss."
She put down the needle and thread in her hand, frowned while holding her bleeding fingers.
Hearing the noise, Gu Zichen rushed over immediately: "What's wrong with you?"
Gu Manman shook her head: "It's okay, my finger was accidentally pricked by a needle."
Gu Zichen held her finger that was pricked by the needle: "Then it needs to be dealt with."
As soon as he turned around, Li Jinze came forward with the medical kit and stood opposite Gu Manman.
Li Jinze held Gu Manman's finger without any sense of violation and frowned at the blood beads on her finger.
After he took out cotton from the medical kit and wiped off the blood on her fingers, he took out a cotton swab and dipped it in a lot of alcohol to disinfect, then applied medicine, and finally put a band-aid on her.
"alright."
Gu Manman looked at the fingers that had been treated and was a little stunned: "Thank you."
Li Jinze shook his head and put the medical kit aside: "If you will hurt yourself doing these delicate tasks, then don't do it. I will find someone to do it then..."
She shook her head without thinking: "No, I have to do it myself."
These clothes were all made for Gu Zichen and Li Zichen, and they were all made for her children. Of course she had to make them herself!
Gu Zichen also frowned: "But..."
She chuckled: "It doesn't matter. I was only responsible for drawing design drawings at the beginning. I haven't had any contact with real hands to make clothes for a long time. So my hands are a little rusty..."
Li Jinze still said: "Since your hands are unfamiliar, let others do these things."
Gu Manman shook her head: "No, I hope I can do it myself."
Seeing her persistence, he couldn't say anything more: "Okay, then be careful and don't hurt yourself again."
She nodded, "Yes, I understand."
Gu Zichen couldn't bear to take the needle and thread back from Gu Manman's hand: "Let me sew the needle and thread for you."
She was stunned: "But..."
He shook his little head: "Don't worry, I can do it. When Mommy was busy, I did all the sewing for her."
As Gu Zichen spoke, he had already begun to use the needle and thread in his hand, as if he was recalling his past life, and there was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.
Li Jinze put down the book in his hand and squeezed to Gu Zichen's side: "In that case, let me help."
Gu Zichen glanced at him suspiciously: "Do you know how to sew?"
"No." Li Jinze shook his head. How could someone like him who sits in an office all day know how to do needlework?
Gu Zichen shrugged: "Then how can you help?"
Li Jinze disagreed: "Why don't you just thread a needle and sew? It doesn't look difficult."
Gu Zichen smiled, and then handed the needle and thread in his hand to Li Jinze: "Since you said it's not difficult, then just give it a try."
Li Jinze took the needle and thread, recalled Gu Manman's behavior just now, and then began to puncture seriously.
As soon as the needle passed through the clothes, it pricked Li Jinze's finger with perfect accuracy.
His face turned pale and he took a breath of cold air: "Hiss..."
Even though this needle is so small, it really hurts when it sticks!
Gu Manman immediately stepped forward: "You were pricked by a needle? Are you okay? Otherwise, forget it and leave this to me..."
He looked at the clothes in front of him firmly: "No! I'll do it, I can handle it! It's not a difficult task, don't worry!"
With that said, Li Jinze picked up the needle and thread in his hand again.
Once, twice, three times...
Li Jinze retracted his hand tremblingly, then put the needle and thread aside.
"finished."
Gu Zichen touched the embroidery sewn with fine threads on the clothes and couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration: "Wow, it was actually sewn."
He nodded pretending to be calm, and then retracted his hands.
"So I said, it's not that difficult."
Gu Manman chuckled and shook her head, then helped Li Jinze sit down on the stool.
She opened the medicine box on the side and "put out your hand."
Li Jinze still hid his hands behind his back: "What are you doing with your hands out?"
Gu Manman stepped forward and took out his hand from behind.
He was stunned when he looked at the wounds on his fingers one after another. There were a lot of blood beads hanging on the wounds, and there were also scabbed blood clots.
She sighed softly, and then carefully wiped off the blood drops on his hands one by one.
"If you can't do it, you can't do it. Why are you trying to be so strong?"
Li Jinze stared blankly at Gu Manman, who was carefully bandaging him in front of him, and was lost for a moment.
Although her face was different from the face in his memory, at this moment, he seemed to see two faces superimposed on each other.
The Gu Manman in front of him is the Gu Manman he loves.
Gu Manman patted his hand: "Okay, the wounds have been taken care of. Be careful not to let water get into the wounds recently..."
Before Li Jinze could finish her words, he put his hands on her armpits, then pulled her up from her crouching position, and hugged her tightly.
Gu Manman's eyes suddenly widened and she was stunned for a long time. She pushed Li Jinze away.
"Li Jinze, what are you doing?"
He put his head on her shoulder: "Don't move, let me give you a hug."
As expected, she remained motionless, listening to his nostalgic words, she felt very soft-hearted.
Li Jinze breathed in her body fragrance with nostalgia, enjoying the comfortable feeling radiating from the inside out.
This was the feeling he had when he and Gu Manman were together.
Gu Zichen stood in front of the two of them, covering his eyes with a smile.
"Obviously you don't have all the evidence, but why am I still willing to believe you? But I still have doubts about the outcome that has been decided?"
Li Jinze's voice gradually sounded in the room.
Gu Manman paused, she naturally understood the meaning of Li Jinze's words.
She wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to explain.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened.
Gu Qingqing and Li Zichen rushed in.
Gu Qingqing took a step forward, pulled Gu Manman, who was being held by Li Jinze, off him, and then pushed him aside.
She stood in front of Li Jinze and said, "Gu Manman! What shameless things are you doing here! Are you trying to hook up with Li Jinze while I'm not around?!"
Gu Manman was pushed back a few steps by Gu Qingqing, and was pulled back by Gu Zichen before she stood still.
Li Jinze stood up from the stool, pushed Gu Qingqing away from him, and then supported Gu Manman.
