Qiao Yuxian thought that something was wrong with Qiao Lechu, so he immediately answered the phone: "Dad, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Qiao Yu said, "I didn't disturb your rest."
"No." Qiao Yuxian heard his hesitant and embarrassed tone and asked, "Dad, is there something you want to tell me?"
After she asked, Qiao Yu suddenly fell silent.
Qiao Yuxian didn't rush him and waited quietly for him to speak.
Gu Yanjing listened to their silence and glanced at Qiao Yuxian, vaguely guessing something.
After a moment of silence, Qiao Yu finally spoke with some difficulty: "Yuxian, your mother is back."
The pen spinning on his fingertips stopped, and Qiao Yuxian's whole body stopped for a moment. His eyes fell on the test paper, but he couldn't see a single letter in his eyes, and there was a faint tinnitus in his ears.
As the tinnitus lengthened and drifted away, her thoughts also lengthened, and a brief blank appeared in her head.
She stayed still for a while, until Gu Yanjing rubbed the top of her hair, she came back to her senses and asked in a dry voice: "Wha, what? Dad, what did you just say?"
Qiao Yu repeated again: "Your mother is back. She came home today and wanted to see you."
Qiao Yuxian held the pen in her right hand so hard that her knuckles turned white, and her thumb rubbed the pen back and forth. She lowered her gaze and moved her pale lips several times before saying: "She
Why is she back? Why, why do you want to see me?"
Qiao Yu couldn't speak for a while after hearing her reaction.
Qiao Yuxian asked again: "Did she say she wanted to see me? Did you hear that right? Did she want to see me?"
"Your mother came back specially to see you this time." Qiao Yu said without hiding it, "You think about it, don't be in a hurry, think about it slowly. If you want to see her, I will accompany you to see her. If you don't want to see her, I will go and tell her.
"
Qiao Yuxian's eyelashes trembled and she said, "Yes. Thank you, Dad."
After hanging up the phone, she lowered her gaze and became distracted. She seemed very stable, but her fingers kept rubbing the pen in her hand, and she clenched it tighter and tighter.
Gu Yanjing reached out and held her right hand.
She was startled, turned her head suddenly, and met Gu Yanjing's cold and calm eyes.
"Let go." Gu Yanjing said.
Qiao Yuxian subconsciously let go of her hand and looked straight at him. After a while, her eyes gained some expression, and her stiff body relaxed: "My mother."
She said that she couldn't believe it. She licked her lips and said, "My mother is back."
"Yeah." Gu Yanjing responded, taking the pen away from her hand and placing it on the table.
"She, I" Qiao Yuxian raised her hand and touched her forehead, "I have never seen her. She, why did she want to see me? Back then"
When the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back, leaned back in her chair, lowered her gaze and said nothing.
Gu Yanjing stopped working and stayed with her.
He couldn't personally understand Qiao Yuxian's mood.
I don’t know what Qiao Yuxian has experienced over the years.
She didn’t even know what kind of existence Zhao Shimeng was in her heart.
The only thing I can do is to stay with her.
After a long period of silence, Qiao Yuxian finally moved and put his hand on Gu Yanjing's.
Gu Yanjing held it and looked at her.
Qiao Yuxian leaned back in her chair, turned her head to look at Gu Yanjing and said, "That car parked by the villa today is hers, right?"
Her mood returned to normal, but her eyes were a little red.
He spoke in a small voice and looked pitiful.
Gu Yanjing touched her face and said, "Yeah."
"Did you check that car?" Qiao Yuxian asked again.
"Yes." Gu Yanjing said.
Qiao Yuxian held his fingers and touched the joints. After a few seconds of silence, she sat up straight, picked up the pen, and continued to write questions.
Gu Yanjing looked at her: "Let's write tomorrow."
Qiao Yuxian shook his head: "I'm fine. I still have things to do tomorrow."
At around eleven o'clock, Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian came out of the study.
Qiao Yuxian went downstairs first to bring fortune.
Gu Yanjing waited in the corridor until she and Zhaocai entered the room before he returned to the room.
After returning to the room, he made some phone calls to deal with some overseas matters. It was almost one o'clock in the morning by the time he finished washing and lay in bed.
The room fell into darkness, and with the darkness, everything became quiet.
In the silent night, the slightest sound will be noticed.
Gu Yanjing was lying on the bed, listening to the door of her room being pushed open bit by bit. Someone walked in cautiously and gently closed the door bit by bit.
The sound of gentle footsteps approached the bed slowly and little by little.
Gu Yanjing heard the sound and came to her bedside, feeling a little flow of air around her.
Then he felt his quilt being lifted a little, and a hand reached into the quilt and touched his hand accurately.
"Still not sleeping yet." Gu Yanjing suddenly said something.
Qiao Yuxian was so frightened that she even moved Gu Yanjing's arm.
Gu Yanjing sat up and turned on the bedside lamp.
Qiao Yuxian squatted beside the bed, holding his hand with her right hand and burying her face on the bed.
Gu Yanjing pinched the back of her neck and asked her to raise her head.
Qiao Yuxian closed her eyes and shouted, "Ah, no. It's too dazzling."
Gu Yanjing dimmed the light a little darker and said, "It's not dazzling."
Qiao Yuxian opened one eye first and tried it. It was really not dazzling, and then she opened the other eye as well.
When she met Gu Yanjing's eyes, she squatted on the ground, put her arms on the bed, raised her head and smiled at him: "You just scared me."
"Aren't you here to scare me?" Gu Yanjing looked at her and asked.
The voice was cold, but it was not hard to hear that there was doting in it.
"Yes." Qiao Yuxian said, "But it didn't scare you."
Gu Yanjing looked at her and motioned for her to continue.
Qiao Yuxian's hand was playing with the belt of his nightgown, and he continued: "I'm just here to scare you. If you are scared, I will accompany you to prevent you from being scared when you sleep on your own."
Gu Yanjing's eyebrows moved slightly, and a slight smile appeared in her eyes.
Qiao Yuxian played with the straps of her nightgown and glanced up at him. Because she lacked confidence, she immediately looked away and lowered her eyes and said, "Well, actually, I want to borrow half of the bed."
Having said this, she raised her eyes to look at Gu Yanjing again and promised: "I'll just borrow half of it, and I won't borrow more."
She was squatting in a small ball on the ground, her beautiful eyes flickering, full of prayer.
Gu Yanjing looked at her, and something in her chest melted little by little: "Where's the fortune?"
"I'll send you downstairs to attract wealth." Qiao Yuxian smiled obediently at him.
Gu Yanjing held her arm and pulled her up: "Come up."
Qiao Yuxian didn't hesitate for a second. As soon as he finished speaking, she kicked off her slippers, climbed over him, and lay down on the bed on the other side.
Gu Yanjing turned to look at her.
Qiao Yuxian lay flat on the bed, pulled up the quilt, and said a little embarrassedly: "Maybe I need to borrow half of the quilt."
