"Mom, there is no Guoguo in the new kindergarten, so Ranran doesn't want to go."
Gu Ran pursed her lips, a little reluctantly. "There is no father in this new home, and there is no Guoguo in the new kindergarten. Ranran doesn't want to live here. Mom, can we go home?"
Gu Ran's words made Qin Yuchu blame herself. When she left Gu Chao with Gu Ran, she only thought of herself, but never considered her son's feelings. Although she was Gu Ran's mother, the child also needed his father, and he longed for Gu.
To the fatherly love given to him.
"Of course, mom will send you back to dad, okay?" Qin Yuchu asked Gu Ran tentatively, fearing that Gu Ran would say yes but also that Gu Ran wouldn't say yes.
"Mom, are you going too?" Gu Ran tilted his little head and looked at Qin Juchu with an innocent expression.
"If mom doesn't go, mom and dad can only have one person to accompany Xiaoran."
"Then Ran Ran wants to be with her mother, and my father is accompanied by Uncle He and Uncle Fan. But my mother is alone, so Ran Ran has to accompany my mother."
"But if you are with mom, you can't see dad and Guoguo."
"Mom is the most important person."
The death of his son made Qin Yuchu feel heartbroken and moved. He burst into tears and was extremely grateful to have such a sensible child.
"Mom, I will never mention Dad and Guo Guo again. Please don't cry, okay?" Gu Ran thought that her words had made Qin Yuchu sad, and frowned sadly. He stretched out his chubby little hand and wiped it off for his mother carefully.
tears.
"Be good, mom, stop crying."
Qin Yuchu hugged Gu Ran in her arms, raised her head and tried hard not to shed tears. She must force herself to become stronger quickly and create a stable and happy life for her son.
"Thank you Mr. Fang, you are such a good person."
Perhaps God heard her prayers. When she went to negotiate the rent with the landlord of that store again, the landlord who had been unwilling to let go actually signed a contract with her readily. The rent was quite affordable, and she couldn't help but ask for it.
The landlord thanked and expressed his gratitude.
What Qin Yuchu didn't know was that the reason why the landlord was willing to give in so easily and agree to rent the store to her at a low price was because he had received a large amount of money from Du Ruo in advance. In this world, no one can have trouble with money, at least most people
That's right.
Qin Yuchu's flower shop opened soon. This time she was not hiring anyone. Firstly, there was no suitable candidate, and secondly, she really couldn't afford the salary, so she had to do everything from purchasing goods to sorting and watering flowers to packaging.
During the sale, she did everything herself. Although it was hard work, it was also very fulfilling.
At least she, Xiaoran and her parents' living expenses are guaranteed, which solves her biggest problem, and she can temporarily let go of her worries.
"Mom, can we go eat fried chicken later?"
"Okay, but you should eat less. Fried chicken is too greasy and is not good for your health." Today is the weekend, and the flower shop's business is particularly good, so Xiaoran asked for fried chicken, and Qin Yuchu happily agreed.
"Yeah, I can finally eat fried chicken. Mom is the best, and it hurts Ranran the most." Gu Ran jumped off the small chair Qin Yuchu specially prepared for him, ran up to Qin Yuchu, and put a mark on her left and right cheeks.
A sweet kiss.
Qin Yuchu suddenly felt that life was full of sunshine, and her whole body seemed to be full of energy. With such a well-behaved and sensible son by her side, she was really satisfied and happy.
"Xiao Ran, thank you." Qin Yuchu looked moved. Although God took away the child in her belly again, at least she still had Gu Ran, and he was so sensible and well-behaved.
At night, when Qin Youchu came out of the bathroom after taking a bath, Gu Ran had already fallen asleep. She walked to the bed and tucked her son into bed, then sat on the bed next to her son and looked at his sleeping face quietly.
After she lost her child again, she couldn't sleep peacefully every day. She blamed herself for her carelessness, her vicious resentment towards Lin Ran, and her complicated emotions of love and hate for Gu Chao. They haunted her all the time and disturbed her mind.
If the child can be born smoothly, she will be as cute and well-behaved as Xiaoran. Xiaoran looks like Gu Chao, and the baby in her belly must look like her. Although she has not checked her gender, Qin Yuchu has already determined it in her heart
She is a daughter, a little princess who is as simple and kind as herself but will have a life a hundred times happier than herself.
But now all this can only exist in fantasy. When Qin Yuchu thought of the child who had no relationship with her, her tears couldn't stop flowing down. Is it because she is too useless or those people are too hateful? Why does she always
If you cannot protect your children, you will always lose them.
Fortunately, she still had Xiao Ran. Qin Yuchu stretched out her hand and gently touched the corners of Gu Ran's eyes and eyebrows. This child was her only comfort now, and it was also her motivation and courage to persevere.
"Hey, Xiu Ming."
"He Dong, it's me. Thank you for introducing the doctor to me. My brother's condition is much more stable." Zhou Xiuming's excited voice reached He Dong's ears through the cross-border phone call, making him unable to bear to ruin her good mood.
What I had planned to say, I just couldn't say a word.
"That's good. You can stay at ease and accompany your brother to receive treatment."
Zhou Xiuming on the other side of Dayang said something else, but He Dong didn't hear it clearly, and he didn't even notice when the other party hung up the phone.
When Gu Chao came out of the room, what he saw was He Dong's distracted look. "Hey." Gu Chao waved his hand in front of He Dong's eyes.
"Mr. Gu, you're awake."
Since Qin Yuchu disappeared, Gu Chao, who had nowhere to go, stayed in He Dong's room. Fortunately, he didn't wrong himself in the first place and got a presidential suite, so it didn't matter if he stayed alone.
If He Dong and Fan Zhizhong hadn't been obsessed with each other, Gu Chao would have even wanted Fan Zhizhong to move here, so that it would be very convenient for working and other things.
"What are you thinking about? Did you call?"
After Gu Chao and He Dong lived together, he found out that he already had a girlfriend. He didn't expect that this guy usually looked cold and unfeminine, but once he made a move, he would grab two of them at once.
"kindness……"
"Have you made it clear to her?"
He Dong shook his head and sighed helplessly, "I can't say it. She has been worried about her brother's condition. Now her brother's condition has finally improved. If I go again at this time..."
"What about Yuanyuan, do you plan to leave her alone?" Gu Chao coldly reminded the man in front of him that he had never met Zhou Xiuming and didn't know what kind of woman she was, but he knew that Yuanyuan was a good woman.
Girl, He Dong should not let her down.
He Dong's unimpressed face showed a rare trace of distress. He thought that Zhou Xiuming was the person he had been looking for, but Yuanyuan suddenly showed up halfway and was pregnant with his own child. All this happened.
It was too fast, so fast that he was a little confused.
"I don't know. I want to take responsibility, but I can't find her now."
"I think you didn't want to find her at all." Gu Chao dropped these words coldly, picked up his clothes and went straight out of He Dong's room.
Perhaps because of the relationship between Aiwu and Wu, Gu Chao's preference between Zhou Xiuming and Yuanyuan is obvious. Mumu lost his child and was almost in pain. He is still hiding from him. He doesn't want He Dong to make the same mistake as him.
Some things should be cherished while there is still time.
It has been more than two months since Qin Yuchu disappeared. In the past two months, he drove around the streets and alleys of City B, but he still found no trace of her.
The father-in-law and mother-in-law are also tight-lipped. Maybe they are really afraid of him and think he is their daughter's nemesis, so they refuse to reveal any information to him. Now they even refuse to answer his phone calls.
Gu Chao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It seems we can only try our luck again."
What he meant by trying his luck was to find the landlord who had rented the flower shop to Qin Yuchu. Although the landlord didn't say anything every time, Gu Chao could feel that he was hesitant to speak. Maybe he really knew something.
It's just that I don't want to tell him for some reason.
"Mr. Gu, I have already told you that Miss Qin has never contacted me. Please don't come here again."
The landlord was obviously tired of being pestered by Gu Chao. It was true that he sympathized with this man and was also moved by his deep love for Qin Yuchu. However, a person must be trustworthy. Since he had already taken Du Ruo's money, he would have no choice but to do it no matter what.
It is impossible to tell others about Qin Juchu.
"Sir, I really want to find my wife. She just had a miscarriage and has a child. If I'm not with her..."
"Mr. Gu, you have said these things many times before, but if you don't know, you just don't know. I can't help you. I'm sorry."
After the landlord finished speaking, he closed the door with a bang. Perhaps he was really impatient, or perhaps he was afraid that if Gu Chao continued to pester him like this, he would not be able to help telling the truth. However, no matter what the reason was, Gu Chao would probably tell the truth again in the future.
I couldn't knock on his door either.
Mumu, where are you hiding?
Gu Chao returned to the car, holding his forehead with both hands, sitting blankly, becoming as distracted as He Dong just now. It wasn't until a car behind him kept honking its horn that he remembered that his car was parked on the side of the road.
.
Slowly starting the car, he once again wandered aimlessly on the streets of City B.
A muffled thunder exploded in the sky above City B. The continuous high temperature for several weeks was about to dry people out. This thunder made the people in City B excited, as if they saw that the beautiful days of autumn were coming.
Qin Yuchu, who was building flower branches, frowned. Xiaoran was most afraid of thunder. Every time there was a thunder, he had to hide in his arms to feel at ease. It seemed that he had to pick him up early today.
Qin Yuchu put down the scissors in his hands, packed up his things as quickly as possible, then closed the store door, hailed a taxi on the street and headed towards Gu Ran Kindergarten. He didn't bring an umbrella, so it was best to catch the rain before it started.
I took Xiaoran home before.
Every time when it rains, there will suddenly be more cars on the street. Taxis are gliding slowly. Qin Youchu looks anxiously at the long queue in front of her. Suddenly, a flash of black flashes across the corner of her eyes. It's a taxi.
The black urbos drove into the distance. When Qin Yuchu wanted to take a closer look, he had already disappeared. The urbos was so eye-catching that Qin Yuchu had never seen anyone else driving this car in City B.
A bolt of lightning flashed across, illuminating everything around him in a dazzling light. The words Chu Rui Flower Shop burst into Gu Chao's eyes. He braked suddenly and stared at the unknown road.
There was this inconspicuous little shop on a small street, and I expected to see the owner inside. Unfortunately, the door was closed, and I thought the flower shop had already closed.
Gu Chao was a little disappointed. The horns blaring one after another showed the dissatisfaction of the cars behind him. Gu Chao reluctantly started the car, thinking of finding a place to park first and then coming over to investigate more carefully.
However, this small road is extremely crowded, with shops facing the street on both sides, and there is no place to park.
"****!" Gu Chao cursed in a low voice, and was gradually driven away from this small street by the cars behind him. When he wanted to come back, he couldn't find the right road. The roads in City B were really hard.
It's too convoluted, Gu Chao thought bitterly.
People are like this sometimes, either carelessly or helplessly, and ultimately miss it.
"He Dong, I have returned to City B."
After getting off the plane, Zhou Mingxiu made a phone call to He Dong. During these days and nights in the United States, the only thing she missed and worried about was the man on the other end of the phone.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could pick you up at the airport?" Zhou Mingxiu's call surprised He Dong. He didn't expect her to come back so soon.
"It doesn't matter. Xiaoyuan has recovered a lot and doesn't need anyone to take care of him now." The Xiaoyuan mentioned by Zhou Mingxiu was her brother who suffered from leukemia, Zhou Mingyuan.
"That's good, let's take Xiaoyuan out for dinner tonight."
"Shouldn't it be a candlelight dinner for the two of us?"
Zhou Mingxiu's half-joking, half-serious tone made He Dong a little embarrassed. He had been thinking about Yuanyuan these days, and he seemed to have forgotten that Zhou Mingxiu was his real girlfriend.
"I'm joking, Xiaoyuan also wants to meet your benefactor, brother-in-law." Zhou Mingxiu's words undoubtedly set a new level for the two of them.
"Okay." He Dong agreed with a smile, and then hung up the phone. Zhou Mingxiu has always been so smart.
The beeping sound from the mobile phone reminded Zhou Mingxiu that the other party had hung up the phone. He Dong always waited for her to hang up first. She was a little distracted and thought, when did it start to change?
Being grateful to him for helping Xiao Yuan was one of the reasons why she agreed to his pursuit in the first place, but more importantly, she was attracted by the cold temperament exuding from him.
She thought she liked him. He did like her in the beginning. Zhou Mingxiu could be sure that since when did she no longer have this firm confidence? Maybe it was an experience in a bar.
Perhaps this ending was destined the moment she stepped on the plane.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? My brother-in-law doesn't want to see me?"
Zhou Mingyuan frowned worriedly. He didn't want his brother-in-law to misunderstand him and think he was going to destroy their world.
"How could it happen, silly brother? He Dong is a good man. I heard that you have recovered from your illness. I wish I could see you right away."
Zhou Mingxiu put one hand on her younger brother's shoulder and walked out of the airport holding her luggage with the other. The sunlight hit her body and cast a dazzling halo around her.
"Sister, you are so beautiful."
Zhou Mingyuan looked at his sister with a smile and praised her heartily. In his eyes, Zhou Mingxiu is the most beautiful woman in the world and a myth in his life.
"You brat, you've become so bold that even your sister dares to tease you." Zhou Mingxiu smiled and punched Zhou Mingyuan lightly on the chest.
She was very comforted in her heart. Before going to the United States, Mingyuan was almost on the verge of death. Although he has not yet been cured, at least he will always be with her in the next 6 years. And she will work harder, no matter what.
The disease will easily take Mingyuan away.
The dinner location chosen by Zhou Mingxiu was very strange. She actually liked boiled fish as much as Qin Yuchu. He Dong had never had any special preferences for food, so he naturally had no objection.
Brothers Zhou Mingxiu and Zhou Mingyuan sat on one side, and He Dong sat on the other side. The three of them ate leisurely, and occasionally chatted about topics that were neither salty nor light. Or Mingyuan talked about his experiences in the United States.
Or Mingxiu tells a joke or two, and in the eyes of others they are obviously happy.
When Fan Zhizhong and Shan Xiaoxi walked into this restaurant, they happened to see a scene like this. Since the last time they met unexpectedly in a bar, they often made appointments to go to the bar to drink together after get off work, and occasionally they would go together. Let’s have dinner. Today it was Shan Xiaoxi who suggested that this restaurant serve boiled fish.
"Hey, isn't that cold-faced prince your good brother?" Shan Xiaoxi still couldn't get rid of the habit of giving others nicknames based on jokes, which helped He Dong get the nickname cold-faced prince.
"Huh, what kind of prince? He's just like trash, and..." Fan Zhiyuan paused, "He's not my brother."
"If you don't like him, let's change the restaurant." Shan Xiaoxi asked thoughtfully, not wanting their dinner to be unsatisfactory.
"No, just eat here."
Seeing his gloomy expression, Shan Xiaoxi didn't say anything more, but chose a seat slightly away from He Dong and the others to sit down.
Throughout the entire meal, Fan Zhizhong never took his eyes away from He Dong and Zhou Mingxiu. How could those couple be worthy of his roundness?
"Ha ha……"
Zhou Mingyuan didn't know what he said, which made He Dong and Zhou Mingxiu laugh loudly. Fan Zhizhong, who had been paying close attention to their every move, stood up suddenly, startling Shan Xiaoxi who was working hard.
"Fan Zhizhong, what are you doing?"
Fan Zhizhong ignored Shan Xiaoxi and walked straight to He Dong and the others, staring at He Dong and Zhou Mingxiu with unkind expressions.
"Zhizhong, why are you here?"
He Dong was very surprised by Fan Zhizhong's sudden appearance. Logically speaking, Fan Zhizhong wouldn't bother to come into such a small shop.
"If I didn't come today, I would have missed the good show of Assistant He having two different things to do."
Fan Zhizhong had a sarcastic smile on his face. As he wished, after hearing these words, both He Dong and Zhou Mingxiu changed their expressions.
"Zhizhong, Mingxiu has just returned to China. We can talk about anything later, okay?" He Dong put down his chopsticks, raised his head and looked at Fan Zhizhong coldly.
He was sorry for Yuanyuan, but after all, this was a matter between him and Yuanyuan. Zhou Mingxiu was innocent. Even if they broke up, he did not want her to suffer any harm.
"Are you right Qi Yuanyuan? Think about the child in her belly."
Fan Zhizhong's expression became more sinister, and after giving Zhou Mingxiu a fierce look, he left bitterly.
Shan Xiaoxi quickly dropped her meal money and followed Fan Zhizhong out of the store. No matter how stupid she was, she understood now that Fan Zhizhong fell in love with Yuanyuan, and Yuanyuan was pregnant with He Dong's child. The funniest thing is
, He Dong still has a girlfriend.
The most complicated thing in the world is probably the love-hate entanglement between men and women. Shan Xiaoxi couldn't help but lamented that she had been entangled with Du Ruo and Qin Yuchu for several years, but she could always figure it out. Fan Zhizhong, he...
Will you be happy? The answer is no solution.
"Shan Xiaoxi, come with me to have a drink." Fan Zhizhong stopped and turned around to look at her.
"Okay, your treat."
Shan Xiaoxi smiled heartily, as if she was always invited by men to drink together. Du Ruo was like this in the past, and Fan Zhizhong is like this now. Maybe she was born to be brothers with men.
"I'm sorry." He Dong didn't look at Zhou Mingxiu's face when he apologized because he felt he couldn't face it.
"It's nothing. Is Mingyuan full?" Zhou Mingxiu smiled, as if he didn't take what just happened to his heart.
"Yes." Zhou Mingyuan nodded, feeling very sad. He didn't expect that the perfect brother-in-law in his sister's mouth would actually have two problems. He felt worthless for his sister.
"Then let's go back first. We just got off the plane today and the jet lag hasn't come back yet."
"Okay, I'll see you off." He Dong nodded. What happened at dinner today was something he didn't expect. He also wanted to end this unpleasant night as soon as possible.
"No, we can just take a taxi back." Zhou Mingxiu gave He Dong a dazzling smile, and then when he turned around and got in the car, he said softly, "Goodbye."
"He Dong, thank you for your help to me and Mingyuan. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life. As for you and me, I think it will be more natural to get along as friends in the future."
On the way back to the hotel, He Dong received a text message from Zhou Xiuming. When they separated just now, Zhou Xiuming's "goodbye" already made He Dong feel that the two of them had come to an end.
He didn't expect that Zhou Mingxiu would choose to solve the problem between the two of them in such a simple and clear way. He Dong was a little disappointed, but he finally solved a problem that had been pressing on his mind for a long time. Being caught in a dilemma between two women, it was not a problem in the first place.
Like what He Dong would do.
"Okay, tell me when you find a place to live. I will visit you and Mingyuan when I have time." He Dong replied with a text message, which was regarded as agreeing to Zhou Mingxiu's request to break up.
Between him and her, it can only be said that fate has not yet arrived. Even if their hearts have really fallen in love, there is indeed someone else destined for each other by fate.
"Xiao Xi, tell me how I am not as good as that Bingshan. In terms of looks, I think I am no worse than those celebrities. In terms of character..." Fan Zhizhong drank too much and his voice sounded like he was biting his tongue.
"Okay, okay, in terms of character, you, a playboy, are way too far behind."
Shan Xiaoxi interrupted Fan Zhizhong's argument about feeling good about himself. This man seemed to have real feelings for that little Yuanyuan and drank the wine as water.
"Besides, some things are not simply about who is better than the other. Relationships are always a mutually beneficial thing."
Shan Xiaoxi thought that her deep love for Du Ruo only resulted in the other party's indifference.
"Fan Zhizhong, we won't go home until we get drunk tonight!" Shan Xiaoxi raised his wine glass, clinked it with Fan Zhizhong's glass, then tilted his neck and drank all the liquor in the glass.
"You won't come home until you're drunk!" Fan Zhizhong was already a little unclear in his mind. Yuanyuan's choice made him suffer so much that he could only use alcohol to numb himself.
That night, the two of them drank until they were unconscious. The bartender, who was familiar with Fan Zhizhong, thoughtfully took the two of them to a nearby hotel, and then thoughtfully only opened a room for them. Finally, he thoughtfully left the two of them behind*
***Fleeed away after that.
"Brother Fan, don't thank me too much." The bartender left these words before leaving.
When Shan Xiaoxi woke up, she felt that her whole body was so sore that it felt like it was falling apart. What she saw in front of her was not the familiar wall of her room.
"Where am I?" She shook her head, which was still a little dazed. When her eyes touched the red spots on her body and the man lying next to her, the memory of last night slowly came back bit by bit...
"ah!"
An earth-shattering exclamation spread throughout the hotel. Fan Zhizhong was also startled awake by Shan Xiaoxi's exclamation. He sat up and looked at the woman in front of him, stunned...
"ah!"
There was another exclamation, but this time it was a man's voice.
"You, you, you."
"Me me me."
The two of them pointed at each other, speechless in surprise, not daring that they would actually have sex after drinking, and happily spent the night on the sheets.
"How could this happen?" Shan Xiaoxi looked at the messy clothes on the floor and the horrific marks on her body, and was furious at Fan Zhizhong's bestial behavior last night.
"I also want to ask you, do you still have the restraint that a girl should have when you took this handsome guy to take me to a room when he was drunk?"
"You...you bastard." Shan Xiaoxi was trembling with anger, deeply disgusted by Fan Zhizhong's behavior of complaining first.
She pulled the quilt around her body and jumped out of bed, picking up the clothes that fell on the floor one by one, planning to get dressed and leave. Fan Zhizhong's eyes turned red when he touched the deep red on the sheets.
Dark.
"Shan Xiaoxi..." Fan Zhizhong's voice revealed disbelief. He really couldn't imagine that a girl like Shan Xiaoxi would still have her first time. Even if she had a crush on Du Ruo, it was rare that she would do it before meeting Du Ruo.
Isn't there any other man who has moved her heart?
Shan Xiaoxi's eyes followed Fan Zhizhong's and fell on the bright red mark on the sheets. She quickly covered the mark with a pillow. Then she turned around and stared at Fan Zhizhong fiercely: "You are such a playboy, don't let what happened yesterday happen."
If the third person finds out, it will be unlucky for me, Shan Xiaoxi."
"You can't say that. Although it's your first time, I'm right, but this handsome guy is handsome and good at life, so you won't suffer."
Fan Zhizhong also jumped out of bed. After the initial panic passed, he began to feel joking. Thinking about it carefully, Shan Xiaoxi is actually not that annoying. On the contrary, after getting along for a long time, he will feel that she is actually quite cute.
little girl.
"Fuck you, you shameless bastard!"
Shan Xiaoxi, who was fully dressed, was about to step over the bed to teach this shameless guy a lesson, but his legs were so weak that he suddenly fell into his arms.
"I didn't expect you to be so eager to throw yourself into my arms. Do you want to come here for the second time?"
Fan Zhizhong, a veteran in love, didn't blush when he said provocative words, but Shan Xiaoxi was different. Fan Zhizhong's words made her blush all of a sudden. Those passionate scenes from last night suddenly rushed into her mind, making her
Her heartbeat kept accelerating.
How could Fan Zhizhong hide the changes in the woman in his arms? He slowly lowered his head and took the woman's tempting red lips into his mouth...
The show has just begun.
"Ah, why why why!"
Shan Xiaoxi beat his head with both fists in annoyance, feeling filled with regret. If last night he was taken advantage of by this guy because he was drunk and unconscious, then today, he was taken advantage of while he was still conscious.
This scumbag is fucked by xxoo.
Shan Xiaoxi, are you really that ****?
"Okay, don't hit me. Your brain is already weak. If you hit me again, you'll be even dumber." Fan Zhizhong threw Shan Xiaoxi's clothes to her, "Put them on quickly, I'll take you out to eat and replenish your strength."
"****,****!" Shan Xiaoxi threw the pillow at Fan Zhizhong with all his strength.
Seeing Fan Zhizhong winking, she felt aggrieved. The pure land she had held on to for many years was actually taken away by this scumbag in a few moments. She was really upset.
"Xiao Ran, be good, it's time to take your medicine." Qin Yuchu walked towards Gu Ran with the pills in one hand and a water glass in the other.
The weather has entered autumn, and Gu Ran unfortunately contracted the seasonal cold. In addition to getting injections every day, he also had to take medicine three times a day.
"Mom, the medicine is so bitter, but I don't want to take it." There was a look of resistance in Gu Ran's eyes. The small white pill looked so innocuous, but it was staggeringly bitter.
"Xiao Ran, good boy, you have to take medicine on time to get better quickly. Have you forgotten how uncomfortable it was when you couldn't breathe through your nose when you went to bed last night?" Qin Yuchu coaxed softly.
Seeing Gu Ran being tortured by illness, her heart felt like needles pricking her heart, so even though Gu Ran was reluctant, she had to force him to take the pills.
"Bang bang bang."
The sudden knock on the door made Qin Juchu frown. Although it had been a long time since she moved here, she had not contacted anyone except her parents, and she rarely communicated with even her neighbors.
"Who is it?" Qin Yuchu asked through the door panel without opening the door.
Although it was not too late now, it was already past 8 o'clock. Gu Ran and I were the only two people at home, and they had no ability to resist if they encountered bad people.
Ever since she was pushed down the stairs by Lin Ran last time, causing her to lose her child, Qin Yuchu's vigilance has become particularly high. She used to be defenseless against anyone, but now she no longer dares to trust strangers easily.
After all the pain of losing a child, she didn't want to try it a third time.
"Hello, I am the new resident who moved across the street today. I came to say hello to my neighbor."
A pleasant female voice came from outside the door. Maybe he was too nervous. Qin Juchu opened the door a little and carefully looked at the woman in front of him. Her wavy hair was draped softly on her shoulders, and her eyebrows and eyes showed kindness. Her hands
There was also a box of cookies inside.
"Hello." Qin Yuchu opened the door a little wider, maybe because he was too nervous. The woman in front of him didn't look threatening at all, but instead conveyed a kind and kind feeling to others.
"My name is Zhou Xiuming, and I will live across from you from now on. This is a small kindness, please accept it."
Zhou Xiuming said as he handed the biscuits to Qin Juchu, "How can this be so embarrassing?" Qin Juchu hesitated, wondering whether he should accept the gift from the neighbor he met for the first time.
"Mom, Ranran wants to eat cookies." Gu Ran came to the door at some point and looked at the cookies in Zhou Xiuming's hand eagerly.
"Oh, it turns out you have such a cute son. He is a little glutton like my brother when he was a child."
Zhou Xiuming reached out to touch Gu Ran's little head, then handed the biscuit to Gu Ran. "Here, take it if you want to eat it. This is what Auntie gave you."
"Mom..." Gu Ran looked at Qin Juchu expectantly. Although he wanted to eat biscuits, he would not accept it if his mother didn't agree.
"Since Auntie gave it to Xiaoran, just take it and remember to thank Auntie."
Qin Yuchu couldn't bear to disappoint Gu Ran, and Zhou Xiuming did not look like a bad person, so she nodded.
"Thank you, aunt, thank you, mom!"
After receiving Qin Yuchu's approval, Gu Ran excitedly took the biscuit from Zhou Xiuming's hand and expressed his gratitude to Zhou Xiuming sensibly. Of course, he also wanted to thank his mother.
"Thank you, Miss Zhou, why don't you come in and sit for a while." Qin Yuchu also thanked Zhou Xiuming and invited her to sit at home.
"No, I'm a little worried about my brother being alone at home. Let's come over and sit down some other time when we have the opportunity."
Zhou Xiuming smiled brightly, turned around and entered the door opposite.
What a girl full of sunshine. Qin Yuchu closed the door and sighed in his heart, he must have had such a bright smile before. Yes, he did.
Before something happened to my father, before I met Gu Chao, before I lost my child, before I divorced Gu Chao...
Her wounds scabbed over and over again, only to be cruelly torn open again and again, so now she has lost the qualification to have that bright smile, because her heart is bitter, so her smile is also bitter.
Qin Yuchu was filled with emotions. Time is really a wonderful thing. It has transformed her from an innocent girl with nothing to do to a single mother who is unhappy all day long.
Fortunately, Gu Ran was by her side, which brought her a lot of comfort.
"Mom, the biscuits given by aunt are very fragrant and sweet. Ran Ran likes to eat them, and my mother eats them too."
Gu Ran raised his chubby little hand and handed the biscuit in his hand to Qin Juchu's mouth. Although Qin Juchu had no appetite, he still opened his mouth and took a small bite. She could not bear to offend her son. Maybe she felt that she owed him too much.
Probably because there are many.
The next day, Qin Yuchu saw Zhou Xiuming again, and with her was her brother. When she saw Zhou Xiuming's brother for the first time, Qin Yuchu was a little surprised. The boy was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with clear eyes and good looks.
She is very delicate, but for some reason she has a very uncoordinated bald head.
"Hello, Miss Zhou. I'm Qin Yuchu, whom we met last night." Qin Yuchu took Gu Ran's hand, took the initiative to step forward, and greeted him kindly.
"Miss Qin," Zhou Xiuming nodded to her, then turned his eyes to Gu Ran, "Kid, do you remember auntie?" Zhou Xiuming bent down and looked at Gu Ran with a smile.
"Remember, the biscuits aunt gave Ranran were very fragrant and sweet, thank you auntie." Little Gu Ran expressed his gratitude to Zhou Xiuming again.
"What a good boy. Miss Qin, you are so lucky." Zhou Xiuming said sincerely. She really liked this little devil. She remembered that Mingyuan was as cute and cheerful as him when she was a child. If she hadn't contracted this disease...
"You, I didn't see him being naughty." Like all mothers, Qin Yuchu was naturally very happy when she heard other people praise her son. However, she said modestly, as if she was afraid that her son would be proud.
Actually it's not that good.
"Miss Zhou, is this your brother?"
In fact, Qin Yuchu knew the answer without asking, because the boy's eyebrows were almost exactly the same as Zhou Xiuming's.
"Yes, his name is Mingyuan."
"Hello, Miss Qin." Mingyuan imitated his sister's tone and called Qin Yuchu Miss Qin.
"Oh, you guys can call me Sister Qin from now on. It's quite awkward to always call me Miss Qin, Miss Qin." Qin Yuchu said with a smile, a little embarrassed.
"Okay, then Sister Qin will just call me Mingxiu from now on." Zhou Mingxiu was originally a cheerful woman. After hearing Qin Yuchu's words, she was naturally happy. She also felt very uncomfortable with the title Miss Zhou.
"Mingxiu, where are you going?" The two quickly adapted to the new names for each other.
"We're going to find a restaurant to have something to eat. We haven't had dinner yet." As an online writer, Zhou Xiuming writes as much as possible every day in order to make more money to treat his brother's illness. Therefore, he has no time to write at all.
kitchen time and energy.
"Why go to a restaurant? I just bought a lot of food here. If you don't mind it, just go to my house and I'll cook it for you."
Qin Youchu warmly invited the siblings. After all, the favor given to Gu Ran by the biscuits yesterday had not yet been repaid. Besides, the siblings didn't look like bad people. Even if they were allowed to come to the house, there should be no problem.
Danger.
"Would this be too much trouble for you?" Zhou Xiuming hesitated, not knowing whether he should agree to Qin Yuchu's invitation.
"No, it's just that I'm not good at cooking. I'm afraid you won't get used to it and you'll dislike it."
After arriving at Qin Yuchu's house, Zhou Xiuming followed him to the kitchen to help choose dishes, while Zhou Mingyuan stayed in the living room and played with Gu Ran's toys.
"Your brother should be in junior high school." Qin Yuchu asked about Zhou Mingyuan's situation with a smile while chopping vegetables.
