Xi Haitang was still at a loss, but the man behind him had already made his choice. Gu Xijue's tone was calm, and no emotion could be heard, "I'm leaving. If I walk back, it will only take two hours."
Hearing this, Xi Haitang couldn't help but sigh. It only took two hours?! And it's this time and this weather!
Xiaochen also widened her eyes and thought with her child's mind, "Uncle, even if you really want to be a knight uncle again, you don't have to be so brave. You will catch a cold if you walk outside for two hours!"
Children are children, no matter how smart they are, they still can't escape childish and dreamy thoughts. As soon as Xiaochen's words came out, Gu Xijue's heart suddenly became happy, but his face was still expressionless, and his eyes were slightly squinted.
Glancing over Xi Haitang's struggling and hesitating face, we can see chaos in her eyes, just like her heart, which is undecided.
Suddenly, he regretted his despicableness, taking advantage of her soft-heartedness to retreat in order to advance. A warm feeling slipped through his heart, a little sour and astringent, and something called reluctance surged in his blood.
Simple, yet powerful.
His slender fingers closed unconsciously and clenched into fists, their joints turning white. Under the warm light, his face was covered by large shadows, and his expression was like fog.
The clock was ticking, and snowflakes were spreading silently outside the window. The movement and silence put him in a contradictory intersection. He turned around, stepped out of the bedroom and walked towards the entrance. As soon as the door opened, a cold tone suddenly poured in, from his collar
Passing through it, the cold touch made him unusually awake.
"Wait..." She finally called him, but his mood was not as happy as expected, and there was a faint heaviness.
His feet were still hurting. Xi Haitang slowly approached Gu Xijue, his head slightly lowered. In an extremely complicated mood, there was a confused blush on his cheeks. "You can stay here tonight. My friend is on a business trip. The room is
Just enough.”
Gu Xijue looked at her quietly. From his point of view, her eyes were filled with water, and her pursed lips were very beautiful and soft, like a sleeping begonia, blooming quietly and making people feel pitiable.
.
Uncontrollably, even unconsciously, he reached out to touch her eyebrows, wanting to soothe the layer of sadness, but——
"Ah..." Xi Haitang didn't expect that he would suddenly approach, so he ducked back suddenly, tripping again on his injured left foot, and painful cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
"Are you okay?!" The hot breath surrounded her again, and the man's strong arms hugged her waist tightly.
Their eyes met, Xi Haitang's eyes were full of panic, and she was struggling to break away from his arms. Gu Xijue's mind was not much better than hers. The beauty's arms were full, but what aroused was not desire, but a warmer and more peaceful feeling.
, a more tender feeling, which he had never felt in his previous life.
He was stunned. Xi Haitang took the opportunity to regain her consciousness, pushed him away, and limped towards Su Xin's room, leaving him with a stubborn back and a cold message, "I sleep in my friend's room, you sleep in mine."

Being in Xi Haitang's room, Gu Xijue had a different feeling in his heart. This was the first time for him to sleep in someone else's bed. He was always picky about quilts and other things, and the servants at home also helped him every day.
He changed the sheets, but now he couldn't believe that he would be lying on this lightly fragrant quilt. Not only did he not dislike it, but he also liked it. His mind automatically imagined that she would be lying in the same place at night.
, breathe lightly and have a good night's sleep.
His thoughts were interrupted when a gentle knock came from the door, "Uncle, are you asleep?"
"No." He stood up and opened the door.
At the door, Xiaochen was holding a thick quilt, looking a little struggling, "Uncle, this is for you."
"Give it to me?!" Gu Xijue looked at the cartoon pattern on the quilt attentively, not knowing why.
Xiaochen grinned and said, "This is mine. I will lend it to you tonight. Uncle, you are so tall. The quilt must not be long enough to cover my mommy. If you put this little one under your feet, it will not be long enough."
cold."
The little girl's innocent and kind behavior shocked Gu Xijue. She was really considerate, but didn't she dislike him? Why was she still so nice to him?!
"Xiao...Xiaochen..." Gu Xijue called out the little girl's name with difficulty, and found that it was not as difficult as he thought.
"Huh?!" Xiaochen was trying hard to help him spread the quilt, and was too busy to look back, so she didn't see his gentle eyes.
As soon as she interrupted, Gu Xijue suddenly realized that he was abnormal at that moment, calmed down, and returned to his usual cold and sharp attitude.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Xiaochen turned around and asked, "Uncle, why didn't you say anything?"
"Nothing..." He shook his head lightly.
"Do you need anything else? Don't be embarrassed to say it, uncle, just tell me, I will help you prepare." The little girl looked very capable, with sincerity written on her pretty face.
Gu Xijue curled her lips slightly, "No need, uncle doesn't need anything." He couldn't figure out what he lacked, or maybe they couldn't afford it.
Xiaochen blinked away the confusion, "In that case, uncle, go to bed early, good night."
"Good night."
Watching the little girl leave, Gu Xijue's heart became even more confused. He was not sleepy to begin with, but now he had no intention of sleeping.
The cartoon quilt was neatly spread, covering not only the bed, but also his always cold and hard heart.
Turning off the headlight and turning on the desk lamp, he sat in front of the desk and looked at it quietly. There was a large pile of design books on the small desk. He opened one at random and saw her beautiful handwriting on it, stroke by stroke.
In between, there is a combination of strength and softness.
In the lower left corner of the desk, there was a small drawer with a lock on it, but he forgot to remove the key. He frowned slightly, thinking about whether to open it and take a look. He was not interested in exploring people's privacy, but...
"It's the children's birthday again, Xiaochen has grown one year older, and the time since my son and I have been separated has also increased by another year... When will I be able to find him, and when will he be able to call me mommy?
, where is my son? I miss him so much..."
He casually opened her diary and saw this article. Gu Xijue's hands couldn't help but tremble. Should he let her and Yunhen know each other?
