"Su Xin..." Xi Haitang hurried over and looked over anxiously, "Su Xin, are you burned or your feet injured?"
"No, no." Shen Suxin regained her composure in the panic, and looked at Gu Xijue again with their eyes crossed, the shock in her eyes lingering for a long time, "Haitang, you have friends here, don't worry about me, I'll go back to the room first. .”
She ran away, even with a slight stagger in her steps.
Xi Haitang was surprised by his friend's abnormality, and felt worried in his heart. He couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly followed him, "Su Xin, open the door... Su Xin..."
Gu Xijue's expression was stern, with a hint of complexity between his brows, and he walked towards the living room indifferently, "Yunhen, it's time for us to go home."
"But my sweater..."
"Go home!" He spoke concisely and in a solemn tone.
Yun Hen lowered his head, with indescribable disappointment in his eyes.
Gu Xijue took Yunhen and left quickly. On the way home, the neon lights on both sides of the street slid across his handsome profile one by one. There were also blue and green lasers installed somewhere that shot back and forth, creating an endless high-altitude stream of light. Overflowing with color, his cold expression was reflected on the car window.

At dawn the next day, Xi Haitang dragged her tired body out of the room. She had not slept all night, but she had no sleep.
Su Xin was in a bad mood last night. She locked herself in the room without saying a word. No matter how hard she knocked, she refused to open the door. She didn't have the key to the room, so she had to go to the neighbor's house next door and climb in through the window. But It was useless, Su Xin still refused to say anything, she just buried herself in the quilt and cried silently.
Later, I don’t know how long it took, Su Xin choked and fell asleep, and she kept sitting by the bed, watching Su Xin’s tearful face with mixed emotions. She hadn’t seen Su Xin cry like that in many years, crying. He was so heartbroken, yet so cautious.
At a quarter past five, Xi Haitang walked into the kitchen and helped Xiaochen make a simple breakfast, then helped Su Xin cook a bowl of porridge, adding a little salt to it, and made a light side dish. She wanted to My heart has been crying for so long. It should feel better to eat something like this when I wake up.
Gently pushing open the door of the children's room, I thought my daughter was still sleeping, but to my surprise, Xiaochen had already gotten up and was getting ready to get dressed.
"Xiaochen..." As soon as he opened his mouth, Xi Haitang realized that his throat was already hoarse.
"Mommy..." Xiaochen rubbed his eyes, obviously still not awake.
"Baby, why did you wake up so early today?"
"I'm worried about Suxin's mother..." Xiaochen raised her little face, a cloud of worry forming between her brows.
Xi Haitang's heart suddenly felt painful. He hugged Xiaochen into his arms, gently raised her chin, and stroked her eyebrows with his fingertips, "Your Suxin mother hasn't woken up yet. Please be gentle and don't make any noise." Wake her up, you know?"
"I know." Xiaochen put on her clothes lightly and lowered her voice, "Mommy, Su Xin's mother seems very sad. What's wrong with her?"
"Mommy doesn't know either..." Xi Haitang was worried, but she still had to keep smiling in front of her daughter, "Baby, don't worry, just go to school and leave the family affairs to Mommy. Mommy will take good care of Su Xin. Mom de."
"Well, mommy, don't worry too much. When I come back from school, I will make Suxin's mother happy. She likes me the most. If I make her happy, she will not be sad anymore."
"Xiaochen is so good." Xi Haitang bent down, kissed her daughter's forehead, and then let her wash her face and brush her teeth.
"Mommy..." Xiaochen, who had just left the room for less than a minute, suddenly came back, holding a silver-white object in his little hand, "Mommy, look at this lighter!"
Xi Haitang frowned and looked over, his face suddenly changed, "Where did you find it?"
"In the bathroom...ah, I remembered it. My uncle took it out yesterday when he was repairing the water pipes. He forgot to take it away!"
Xi Haitang suddenly felt dizzy. Although she had guessed a little, she still couldn't believe it. How could it be Gu Xijue?!
When his name flashed through her mind, even she found it funny. God is really good at playing tricks on people. He actually let the same man mess up her and Su Xin's life. It was more terrifying than a nightmare!
a bolt from the blue!
She shook her head over and over again, why?! Why?! Why be so cruel?!
She had already accepted her fate, but Su Xin couldn't do it. She couldn't let Su Xin continue to be bullied by him!

"Gu Xijue, get out of here!" Xi Haitang rushed to the top floor of Jinjue Building as if losing his mind.
In the solemn conference room, the air was condensed, as if covered with a layer of frost. There were six or seven senior executives sitting in front of the table, all with tense expressions, and cold sweat seeping from their foreheads. They were sitting on pins and needles, not even daring to take a breath.
, and the man in the chief position, Meifeng Lenglin.
"Everyone, get out!" was ordered, and everyone in the meeting was relieved.
In the huge space, only he and her were left.
The air was eerily quiet. The only thing that could be heard was each other's breathing. The breathing frequencies of the two people were different, hers was much faster.
Xi Haitang raised the lighter in his hand, his eyes blazing, "Is this yours?" Although it was a question, it contained an unquestionable affirmation.
Gu Xijue's eyes flashed slightly, as if he had already predicted it, "So what if it is?! So what if it's not?!"
She raised her lips and smiled, her smile cold and blurry, and slapped him on the face so hard that her fingertips were numb from the shock.
Gu Xijue pursed her lips and tasted blood at the corner of her mouth, but her expression was neither angry nor angry. In fact, he could have avoided the slap. The reason why she let her slap it was...
He took the lighter from her hand, played with it in his palm, and carefully stroked the word "Gu" on the back of the body with his long fingers. Every stroke, every edge, and every corner was clear and engraved, as were those deep and dark eyes.
Inside, there was a blurred look, and an incongruous expression of pain appeared on the delicate and flawless face.
After being silent for a while, he raised his dark black eyes. Uncharacteristically, there was no sharp light in his eyes, replaced by a heavy sadness. Slowly, he opened his thin lips...
