"Well! The wish is over... If you make a wish in front of so many beauties like us, it is impossible for your wish to come true even if you don't want it to come true." Li Xiaoxue said with a smile on her face: "Then, please sit down now for our birthday girl today, we will do it right away.
It’s time for us to reach our most loving moment.”
"Hehe, brother, come here and sit down." Tiantian moved the chair prepared by Chuoying Chuoxi and pulled Ling Chen to sit down. She and Satisika were still standing on either side of Ling Chen.
, like two accompanying little angels.
"In order to celebrate that our birthday boy Ling Chen has turned one year older, each of us has prepared a gift for you. Hmm, I'm very happy to hear that, and I'm looking forward to it, right?"
Ling Chen opened his lips, but couldn't think of what to say for a moment. After all, he had only Die Wu and Shui Ruo to accompany him on his birthday. This was the first time for him to have such a heart-warming scene, so he could only
He nodded quickly and somewhat stupidly.
"Wow! Brother will receive a lot of gifts at once, he must be so happy." Tiantian's eyes flashed with a little happiness and a little envy.
"Of course, even though he looks very calm now, he must have burst into laughter a long time ago." Li Xiaoxue said with a smile, and then her eyes moved, turning all eyes to Gu Qinghan: "Aunt Gu, you
They are all our elders, so of course Aunt Gu must take the lead in giving gifts."
"Wow! It's a gift from Aunt Gu. I really want to know what it will be." Xiao Qi sat up straight with an expectant expression on his face.
A trace of nervousness flashed in Gu Qinghan's eyes. Slowly, she stretched out her right hand that she had been holding tightly... She had always held this gift tightly in her hand. She had longed to have it since a long time ago.
This gift was delivered to him personally.
The palm slowly opened, and what appeared in everyone's sight was a small... safety buckle.
This is an ordinary-looking safety buckle, the size and shape of an ancient copper coin, with a slender red thread running through the middle. It is completely white and should be carved from some kind of white jade.
"Ling Chen, this is Aunt Gu's birthday gift to you. I hope... I hope you won't dislike it." Gu Qinghan smiled at Ling Chen and said softly.
"Wow! It's a safety buckle!" Xiao Qi said.
Yun Mengxin studied the Ping An buckle for a while, and said with a smile: "Looking at the material, it should be made of extremely pure Hetian jade, with almost no flaws visible. The Ping An buckle originally has the connotation of keeping peace, and Hotan jade
In ancient times, jade was used to offer sacrifices to heaven, so the peace buckle made of Hetian jade has the meaning of praying to heaven for blessings and peace. Aunt Gu is very thoughtful."
Ling Chen was about to stand up and reach out to take it, but he saw Li Xiaoxue glance at him with complicated eyes, and then said softly: "As expected of Meng Xin, you really have good eyesight. Yes, the peace buckle made of Hetian jade does have a hidden meaning.
It is to pray to heaven for peace. The Hetian jade purity of Aunt Gu’s Ping An buckle can be said to be extremely pure and priceless, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this Ping An buckle is from Aunt Gu herself...
…carved by myself.”
"Ah? Aunt Gu...in person?"
"Yes." Li Xiaoxue nodded lightly: "And in Aunt Gu's house, there are twenty-three similar safety buckles, each one made by Aunt Gu herself."
Ling Chen: "!!..."
"Ah? Could it be that Aunt Gu still has such a hobby?" Xiao Qi said with a face full of surprise. With the power of the Gu family and Gu Qinghan's position in the Gu family, it is not easy to find what kind of jade he wants? Why should he go there in person?
What about engraving?
"Of course not." Li Xiaoxue shook her head, "Because this small safety button is filled with Aunt Gu's prayers without any impurities. In order to let God feel her sincerity, she not only carved it herself, but even Wada
She chooses the jade herself, as well as the silk thread, and never lets anyone interfere in the whole process. After carving, she never lets anyone touch it."
"Aunt Gu, are you praying for someone's safety?" Yun Mengxin whispered thoughtfully.
"Well," Li Xiaoxue nodded, glanced at Ling Chen, and said slowly: "Although Aunt Gu is alone now, she had a son when she was young. However, her son was only a few days old, so she had to live with him.
Separation will take ten years to see each other again. The separation of blood relatives is undoubtedly a huge torture for Aunt Gu. Aunt Gu, who was separated from her children, became seriously ill due to excessive longing for her children. On the hospital bed, she carved the first safety button
...It can be said that Aunt Gu spent her life carving it... Every year after that, whenever his birthday was approaching, she would look for the purest Hetian jade and put all her heart and effort into carving a peace buckle.
She prayed to heaven for the safety of her child... and so on, until the tenth time, she received the news that her child had disappeared after being infected with the Isloka virus, and was not found alive or dead."
"Ah!!" the girls exclaimed in unison.
"So... so pitiful. No wonder I feel so sad every time I see Aunt Gu." Xiao Qi put her hands on her chest, with tears flashing faintly in her eyes.
"Auntie, it doesn't matter, we can all be your family from now on." Tiantian comforted softly with trembling eyes.
"Oh, listen to me." Li Xiaoxue's expression relaxed: "Things are not as bad as you think. Aunt Gu was heartbroken after getting the news, but she still carved a safety button every year as before.
...because it was almost Aunt Gu’s last spiritual refuge when she was in despair. I believe that God must have heard Aunt Gu’s prayer and was deeply moved by her sincere heart. Her child is not dead.
, and he is still living well in this world, living better than anyone else, more chic than anyone else, and surrounded by countless peerless beauties. Oh, by coincidence, his birthday seems to be August 18th as well.
"
"Huh? It's the same birthday as my brother, what a coincidence." Tiantian nodded in agreement, then suddenly thought of something, and looked at Gu Qinghan: "Ehhhhhhhhh?"
The room suddenly became quiet, and the expressions of the girls suddenly became extremely exciting. Some had dull faces, some had pink lips spread wide, and some were thoughtful.
"Aunt Gu," Xuanyuan Diewu stood up a little uncontrollably, her voice trembling slightly: "Are you... are you..."
"How could...how could...he hasn't been...since he was a child..." Yula covered her lips with her hands, and her golden eyes opened wide.
"Who knows." Fei shook her head, and then she thought of something. A little sadness flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled again, looking at Ling Chen with a hint of joy and envy.
"Is this...is this true? Aunt Gu could be...brother Lingtian's..."
"Shh." Yun Mengxin touched Xiao Qi lightly.
When Ling Chen saw Gu Qinghan for the first time, he was slightly confused. At this time, Li Xiaoxue took this opportunity to point out the fact that he had been avoiding, making him completely confused and at a loss.
Every word Li Xiaoxue said touched Ling Chen's heartstrings fiercely. Looking at the safety button in Gu Qinghan's hand, he couldn't help but picture her lying weakly on the hospital bed with tears in her eyes, regardless of everyone's wishes.
To comfort him, he carved out the picture of the safety buckle bit by bit. His heart ached and warmed, and he almost involuntarily reached out and took the safety buckle in his hand.
Ping An's detention house retained the body temperature from ancient times. It was very warm, a kind of warmth that penetrated to the bottom of his heart. It was so warm that he had the urge to shed tears for a moment.
I used to think that I didn’t have a mother, and I didn’t need a mother... I used to think that even if she really was a mother, she was just a person who had never interacted with her, let alone had no feelings, and didn’t need to recognize her, let alone be touched...
But why did I think of her so many times after that day? When I heard that she had been suffering from a hidden illness for many years, I felt distressed. At this time, my heart felt even more...
Is this what Fei said, a blood connection that can never be escaped?
"Thank... thank you, Aunt Gu." Ling Chen held the safety buckle in his hand, nodded stiffly, and subconsciously looked away, not daring to look at Aunt Gu.
The "thank you" and the wandering eyes made Gu Qinghan's eyes flash with a hint of bitterness. She smiled reluctantly and said softly: "You're welcome. I hope it can keep you safe."
Ling Chen nodded, spread out his palms, and stared at the safety buckle for a while, then pulled away the red rope and carefully put it around his neck.
When the safety buckle quietly dropped to Ling Chen's chest with Ling Chen's simple movements, Gu Qinghan suddenly covered his mouth, lowered his head deeply, tears welled up in his eyes, and his shoulders shook violently.
The girls' eyes turned red one after another. No matter how stupid they were, they could see something. Although it was too incredible, the reactions of Ling Chen and Gu Qinghan told them the answer clearly enough. They looked at Gu Qinghan.
It has also completely changed... The head of the Gu family and the mother of Ling Chen are two completely different identities in their minds.
"It turns out...it turns out that Brother Lingtian's mother is still there, and she is actually...is..." Looking at Gu Qinghan who had completely lost his composure and burst into tears, Su'er's eyes also quietly became moist.
Although it was still not completely revealed, Li Xiaoxue was satisfied enough to receive such a response from Ling Chen. She patted Gu Qinghan's back to comfort her, and then said with a smile: "Now, whose gift should it be...
…The first one to give gifts is our elder Aunt Gu, then, next, it’s up to the youngest and cutest little princesses among us. Tiantian, Sasha, it’s your turn.”
"Okay!" Tiantian and Shadisyi responded crisply, then looked at each other and smiled, left Ling Chen, and took a few steps back together.
"Brother, take a good look at the birthday gift we gave you."
"Yeah, Ling Chen must like it."
Two equally white and tender hands are held together. One of them is in a floral dress, the other is in a white dress, one is like an elf in a flower, and the other is like a little fairy in the clouds. Just the beauty of them standing together is enough to make people intoxicated.
"This is a song we composed for my brother (Ling Chen). It's called "Lian Chen", let's start!"
