"Don't..." Xi Haitang subconsciously wanted to retreat, but as soon as he moved, there was a burst of pain in his left ankle. Too bad, he must have suffered a sprain when he was chasing the thief.
"What's wrong? Are you injured?!" Gu Xijue held her hand tighter, with a tone of nervousness and urgency that he was not even aware of.
Xi Haitang shook his head, gritted his teeth and endured the pain and said, "I'm fine. You can let me go. It's time for me to go home."
Of course Gu Xijue would not listen to her. He looked down at her left ankle, which was already red and swollen, and made a decision on his own, "I'll take you to the hospital!"
"don't want!"
"If you dare to say no to me again, I will kiss you in public!" He threatened domineeringly.
"You...you dare?!"
"You can try!"
"..." Xi Haitang was intimidated by Gu Xijue's strong eyes, and the indifference in her expression retreated unconsciously. Because of anger or pain, her face was slightly hot, and she fainted into a warm pink color. Under the moonlight on a winter night, it looks particularly tender and tender.
"Go to the hospital, I'll carry you away." He made his own decision again, and picked her up naturally, as if he had done this intimate gesture countless times.
Xi Haitang was startled, blinked her almond-shaped eyes and shouted, "What are you doing? Put me down quickly!"
Pushing his chest, she was surprised to find that the man's penis was so strong. Even through the clothes, she could still feel the heat radiating from his body, which made the blush on her face deepen.
"Your ankle is injured, it's best not to walk." He said calmly, his strong arms holding the person in his arms tighter, preventing her from any possibility of breaking away.
Xi Haitang was stunned again, troubled by his overly serious and serious expression.
Their intimate movements attracted the attention of passers-by. Xi Haitang was so embarrassed that she almost fainted. She discussed in a pleading tone, "Please put me down quickly. I can walk by myself..."
"Shut up!" Gu Xijue said two words coolly, no longer gentle.
"Others are watching, it's very embarrassing..."
"You can put your face in my arms, that way you won't be embarrassed." His thinking was very self-righteous.
Xi Haitang was helpless, bit her lip, and accepted his somewhat outrageous suggestion. She turned her head and buried herself in his arms, covering the side of her face with her bag. Gu Xijue looked at her childish behavior and felt a shock in his chest. A strange and sentimental chuckle stirred up.
Xi Haitang clearly felt the heat of the man's embrace. With every beat of his heart, her breathing became more and more rapid. There was something that kept cutting and getting messy...
◎◎◎
"Ah, that man is so handsome!" The little nurse in the hospital smiled like a nymphomaniac at Gu Xijue.
"Yes, and he is very gentle to his girlfriend! He just brought his girlfriend in his arms. It was so romantic!" Another young nurse covered her heart with her hands, her eyes shining with red hearts.
Gu Xijue and Xi Haitang listened to the discussions in the corridor with different expressions.
Opposite me, the doctor made a professional diagnosis, "The bones are fine, but the muscles and bones are injured. This kind of thing can be big or small. Try to mobilize the whole body and try to walk as little as possible, especially not to stand for too long."
Xi Haitang was frightened. She couldn't stand for too long. What about her store?
The experienced doctor noticed her hesitation and simply handed the prescription to Gu Xijue, "Take good care of your girlfriend."
"I'm not……"
"I will, thank you doctor."
The two people spoke together, but what they said was completely different. Xi Haitang glared at Gu Xijue angrily, but he didn't take it seriously. There was a slight smile on the corners of his lips, as if he enjoyed the feeling of being misunderstood.
After paying the money and taking the medicine, Xi Haitang was hugged by Gu Xijue again and left the hospital under the envious and jealous eyes of many young nurses in the hospital. This night, she felt that she had lost all her face!
At the entrance of the hospital, a whole row of taxis were waiting. Xi Haitang quickly stated his position, "I can just take the taxi back by myself."
Gu Xijue frowned, "What if I have to give it to you?"
"You..." Xi Haitang was about to protest when his cell phone suddenly rang. It was Xiaochen.
"Hey, Mommy, why aren't you back so late today?"
"Good boy, Xiaochen, mommy will be home soon, don't worry."
"Well, then you should pay attention to safety on the road!"
"Okay, Mommy knows. Baby, you should also pay attention to your safety and don't open the door to strangers. Mommy will be home soon." Thinking of her daughter being at home alone for the past two days, Xi Haitang couldn't help but feel sad.
Before Xin went to Hong Kong on a business trip, she repeatedly told her to go home before 9 o'clock, but it was almost 10 o'clock today!
In such a hurry, Xi Haitang couldn't care less about Gu Xijue's delivery or not, so he called a taxi and hurried home.
In the back seat of the car, Gu Xijue pursed her thin lips tightly. The good mood before disappeared completely due to a phone call from Xiaochen. Thinking that the beautiful little girl was born to Xi Haitang and another man, his heart felt.
There was another moment of confusion, and the look in her eyes became a little colder.
"You have everything in New York, why did you come back to China?" He asked her suddenly, wondering why she didn't stay with Xiao Muyuan.
Xi Haitang was startled, surprised that he asked about her private matters, and subconsciously did not want to answer, but the persistence in his eyes was too obvious, as if he would not give up until he got a satisfactory answer. After a slight pause, she told the truth, "For the sake of Xiao Xiao
Chen, I want my daughter to study in China and be able to speak and write Chinese. Although there are bilingual schools abroad, there is a big gap between the East and the West in cultivating three views. It is better to return to China."
"that's all?!"
"What else could happen?!"
Gu Xijue was stunned. After learning how much she had sacrificed for her daughter, a question suddenly arose in her heart. Would she be willing to give everything for Yunhen? Yes, and more.
Light snowflakes were floating outside the car window. The weather forecast said that there would be a snowfall two days ago, but it still didn't fall. At this moment, the snowflakes fell silently. They came suddenly and silently, which only added to the chill.
"By the way, has Yunhen's sweater been mended?"
"Okay, I asked Xiaochen to take it to the school and hand it over to him a long time ago. Don't you know?!" Xi Haitang's tone contained a trace of unconscious accusation. He didn't care at all how he became his father.
son!
Gu Xijue felt a little guilty. He was in Italy a few days ago and didn't care about such trivial matters at all. Well, it should be regarded as trivial matters. He suddenly became a little unsure.
In silence, the taxi slowly drove to the downstairs of Xi Haitang's house.
◎◎◎
"I'll take you upstairs." Gu Xijue expressed his persistence without waiting for Xi Haitang to speak.
She had no choice but to let him.
Xiaochen hasn't slept yet, but has already laid out the quilt very skillfully. This allows Gu Xijue to see the most secret and real side of Xi Haitang's mother and daughter's life. The beige quilt and pillow are very soft and look like...
There is a sense of warmth.
"Uncle, thank you for taking my mommy to the hospital and taking her home." Xiaochen was very polite and handed him a glass of water.
Gu Xijue looked down at the little girl and saw that she was wearing cartoon pajamas and pink slippers in the shape of a little white rabbit on her feet. She twitched the corners of her mouth slightly. She was really hateful. She was so cute! So she couldn't help but want to tease her.
He teased her, raised his eyebrows, and asked a little jokingly, "Can you call me Uncle Knight now?"
"Ah?!" Xiaochen opened his eyes wide, and his little mouth turned into a round O shape. His beautiful face was full of doubts, "Uncle, do you mind this matter very much?!"
"Well, a little bit."
Xiaochen's expression began to show tangle, hesitating whether he should change his name back to that name. After all, his uncle helped her family repair the water pipe last time, and this time he saved mommy. Oops, his performance seems to have improved!
"Why, I still failed?!" Seeing the little girl's hesitation, Gu Xijue took advantage of the situation and asked.
Xiaochen shook his head, then nodded again, then shook his head again, going back and forth several times, very contradictory, and finally came to the conclusion, "Uncle, your current score is fifty-nine, which is a little bit away from the passing line.
Keep up the good work!"
After saying that, Xiaochen went to press the remote control. At ten o'clock sharp, she had to watch the financial news.
"The Nasdaq Composite Index rose 4.35 points to close at 2365.01 points, an increase of..." On the TV, the clear and pleasant voice of the female anchor came. Xiaochen listened attentively, and took shorthand in a small book while listening.
The small curved eyebrows moved up and down, showing incomparable seriousness.
Seeing this, Gu Xijue was quite amused. He stood casually behind Xiaochen and glanced at her notes. There were her daily notes on them. It could be seen that this little girl had amazing persistence and enthusiasm for finance.
Suddenly, it flashed back to the time when she asked him for stock knowledge. Every time she called, she was very active and serious, but since that time, she never asked him any questions again.
Maybe, he is too narrow-minded, she is just a child, does he kill a child's nature by doing this?! Gu Xijue thought a little self-deprecatingly.
Xi Haitang stood at the door and was slightly startled when she caught a glimpse of Gu Xijue's strange expression. She seemed to have never seen him like this before. He looked quite lonely. However, now was not the time to study this issue, and it was not her responsibility.
What she had to do was to remind him that it was getting late and it was time for him to leave!
She approached, with a faint expression on her beautiful face, "It's past ten o'clock, you should go back."
Gu Xijue frowned slightly, feeling a little reluctant to leave. His steps to leave were very heavy. He thought, if he just left like this, would they drift apart from now on and live their own lives?
Xiaochen also gave up her favorite program and turned around, asking, "Uncle, are you leaving?"
"Yeah." Gu Xijue nodded slightly, feeling nostalgia almost filling his entire chest.
"Now here's a piece of real-time news - due to the sudden heavy snowfall, traffic has been blocked. Three roads near Shangdu Community, Longteng Community, Jinxiu Community and Jiaxin Community in our city are all restricted. Please pay attention to the general public." came from the TV.
The news shocked the three people at the same time.
Xiaochen was the first to react and ran to the balcony to see what was going on outside, "Wow, it's really snowing hard!"
Xi Haitang also went to take a look, and saw heavy snow falling all over the sky, and the traffic lights restricting vehicle movement were also lit at the entrance of the community. She knew that Gu Xijue did not drive today, but even if he did, it would be useless... What should I do?
