Chapter 8: eight children

    The Silent River in the last life did not come to Gu's house so early.

    His parents died in a car accident and he lost his left leg in the car accident.

    The Shen family's family background is ordinary, after the death of both parents, he can only move to various relatives to live in, because of his gloomy personality, he cannot live in each relative's house for a long time.

    He was kicked around throughout his childhood, like a burden that everyone hates.

    After high school, she was sent to the Gu family.

    Gu Qizhou is well-known and has a wealthy family. He received the kindness of his parents when he was a child. After arriving at Gu's house, Shen Jingchuan was never thrown to other relatives' homes.

    He thought that the Gu family would be the best place for him.

    Until that summer, a young girl who returned from a trip to Europe came home and found that she had an older brother.

    The arrogant and willful girl is in adolescence, like a territorial beast, trying her best to express her resistance to his invasion of the family.

    She shreds his homework.

    Call him a monster.

    I even deliberately turned off the power of the electric wheelchair, leaving him unable to move in the heavy rain and getting a high fever.

    If that's all, Shen Jingchuan can still endure it, after all, he has been in various families since childhood, and he has never been the popular one.

    But the only thing he doesn't allow anyone to trample on is his parents.

    “…what is this pocket watch?”

    On that day, his mother's relics hidden in a hidden place were found by the little devil-like girl.

    "This is very precious to you?"

    The small golden pocket watch was pinched by the girl's fair and slender fingers.

    Her smile is pure and innocent, and the excellent facial features inherited from her parents are beautiful that can easily dazzle her peers.

    However, in Shen Jingchuan's eyes, it was his midnight dream, the cruelest nightmare.

    "Give it back to me..."

    Three words squeezed out of his throat, his teeth trembled, and he didn't know whether it was more fear or more hatred.

    The inner cover of the pocket watch is his only family portrait.

    In the dark and hopeless life, only this photo is the proof that he can get a moment of rest and know that he is also the proof that someone has loved him.

    "You stole from my dad, thief, why should I give it back to you?"

    The girl's young voice spit out terrible words.

    His—

    The photo was shredded.

    The pocket watch was smashed into a puddle and torn apart.

    The boy's repressed heart was swallowed by the endless darkness at that moment.

    Twisted into a real monster that scared him himself.

    —

    Gu Qizhou, who got out of the car, looked at his little daughter, who he hadn't seen for almost a month, and at Cen Sui, who was sweating profusely.

    He also obviously had a preconceived idea that Yoyo was bullying others.

    But he knows his silly little daughter very well. It is good that she is not bullied by others. When will she bully others?

    "Dad!"

    Yoyo shouted crisply, then quickly jumped out of the car and threw herself into Gu Qizhou's arms.

    "I haven't seen you for so long, do you miss Dad?"

    Gu Qizhou hugged Yoyo, smiled and received a drooling kiss from the little girl.

    "I want to!" She added, "Sister also wants to!"

    Gu Qizhou looked at Gu Miaomiao sitting on the steps.

    Gu Miaomiao's eyes are very quiet.

    Gu Qizhou is hard to describe the feeling, not only does he not like a six-year-old child who doesn't talk about it, but also looks like he is watching a distant relative who is not very familiar and not important.

    Gu Qizhou doesn't think it's surprising that she calls him uncle the next second.

    Gu Miaomiao didn't know what he was thinking, so she just called out "Dad" lightly.

    Sentimentless.

    Gu Qizhou chatted strangely with his eldest daughter for a while.

    Hearing Gu Qizhou's return, Yu Lan from the room also slowly came out, leaning against the door and looking coldly at Gu Qizhou and the child he brought back.

    "Miaomiao, yo, come."

    With the dissatisfied look of Yu Lan's eyes rolling to the sky, Gu Qizhou pushed Shen Jingchuan over.

    "Although it is a bit sudden, from today onwards, this brother Silent Chuan will live in our house."

    Yoyo's eyes are still fixed on him.

    With Gu Qizhou's words, the vague memory seemed to be cleared away by a pair of hands.

    "Jinchuan, they will be your sisters from now on, just treat this place as your own home. Although your surname is Shen, you will also be a member of the Gu family..."

    Gu Qizhou, who was half-squatting, touched the little boy's head lovingly.

    "Don't worry about the prosthesis, I will take you to the hospital for consultation after a while, and you will stand up..."

    Dream and reality overlap.

    The little boy with dark hair and long eyes was pale, almost transparent in the sun, like a little vampire drawn in a picture book story.

    And this indifferent little vampire was watching her indifferently and vigilantly.

    “…Yo!”

    The child's instinct made Youyo shrink behind Gu Miaomiao in fear.

    Woooooooooooooooooo scary.

    Yoyo is not delicious, don't eat yoyo QAQ

    Shen Jingchuan looked down at her.

    Yoyo's reaction was somewhat beyond Shen Jingchuan's expectations,

    In his imagination, Gu Youyou in his childhood should be the kind of child who would confidently say "I don't want disabled people to be my brother" in front of everyone .

    It shouldn't be like this, like an ignorant and naive little quail, cowardly without attack.

    "Why are you hiding from brother?" Gu Qizhou frowned in displeasure, "Brother's legs are inconvenient, so take good care of brother, do you know?"

    Gu Qizhou said this, not entirely to protect Silent River.

    Shen Jingchuan's parents are kind to him, but he is more concerned about his daughter's education at this time.

    He wants Yoyo to be a kind child.

    Yoyo moved out from behind Gu Miaomiao and looked down at her toes.

    She didn't mean to hide.

    Just remembering that she had bullied others so hard in the dream, she felt very embarrassed.

    “…Yoyo got it.”

    Little milk voice is weak and sounds a little guilty.

    Gu Qizhou patted Yoyo's head with satisfaction, and after instructing Aunt Zhang to prepare a room for Shen Jingchuan, he asked Gu Miaomiao to go to the study with him.

    The father and daughter have not seen each other for many years, he has something to say to Gu Miaomiao alone.

    Before leaving, Gu Miaomiao looked back at Shen Jingchuan.

    In her last life, she had never heard of this person, and she did not know which corner it came from.

    And his eyes...

    It doesn't always feel good.

    Gu Miaomiao, who thought this way, didn't know that this look that made her feel extremely uncomfortable was almost the same as the look she had when she returned to Gu's house.

     Even a little gloomier.

    —

    “…are you hiding?”

    Cen Sui, who found that Gu Miaomiao and Yoyo were gone, found Yoyo at the end of the corridor on the second floor after a long search.

    Yo Yo, who was squatting in the corner, was so frightened that she sat on the ground.

     Her big round eyes blinked.

    "Why can Brother Cen Sui see me?"

    She hides so well!

    The proud Cen Sui pretended to be lighthearted and wrote: "Stupid, your little **** is showing."

    The little girl stretched out her paws angrily when she heard the words and held her little tug.

    Cen Sui thought she was cute and poked her face:

    "How can you be so stupid, you can't hide."

    Yoyou wrinkled her nose and said seriously, "I'm not stupid."

    "But you're really stupid."

    "You're stupid, you don't even know that you were tricked by your sister, a little—"

    Cen Sui then realized that Gu Miaomiao was just playing with him by asking him to pull the car, and she did not plan to let him in the car at all!

    What annoyed him even more was that Yoyo didn't even remind him!

    "...I'm angry!" Cen Sui stood up, "Your sister is a badass, I will never play with you again!"

     Yoyo heard him speak ill of her sister, raised her head, and said fiercely:

    "I won't play if I don't play, I'll find someone else to play!"

    Cen Sui immediately retorted: "You are so stupid, besides me, which child would like to play with you?"

    Cen Sui was stunned after saying that.

    Did he… say something wrong?

    Yoyo stayed where she was, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

    Cen Sui's words really touched Yoyo's caution.

    In kindergarten, the children all said that her mother was a bad woman, so she was the child of a bad woman, and no one played with her.

    During extracurricular activities, other children all form teams, but she is the only one who will be single every time.

    No one wants to team up with her, no one likes her.

    Cen Suijian seemed to be stunned by what he said, standing there for a long time without any response.

    The guilty Cen Sui observed for a while, and saw that Yoyo didn't want to cry for a while, so she felt relieved.

    But rest assured for five seconds.

    Just when Shen Jingchuan in the next room opened the door and came out, I happened to see this little powder dumpling with a dead face, it seemed that I realized that I was wronged, and my not very quick brain was for a long time. Just received the signal to cry.

    Then, at a very slow pace, a weeping expression—

    After half a minute, Yoyo burst into tears.

      Much tougher.

    "Eh...you, don't..."

    "…Yoyo hates you! Yoyo is not a friend without friends! You are talking nonsense woo woo woo..."

    Yoyo cried so much that her brains were buzzing.

    With tears in her eyes, she vaguely saw that Shen Jingchuan seemed to have come out of his new room, stopped not far away, and looked here quietly.

    … Yo Yo is not an unlikable bad boy!

    She wants to prove it to Cen Sui!

    So the little dumpling, who was crying, stumbled towards the little boy in the wheelchair, trying to hug his calf.

    However, when he reached out and grabbed it, what he caught was the empty pants.

    Yoyo's cry suddenly stopped.

    with tears and snot on her face, she stared blankly at her hand holding his trouser leg, as if she was a little helpless—

    Why is this place empty?

    Shen Jingchuan's fingers clasped the armrest, his knuckles turning white.

    Almost instantly, the words he heard when he first met Gu Youyou came to his mind again.

    "...is it missing a leg? It's really deformed..."

    "...Can you show up in front of me less? I'm afraid I'll have nightmares at night..."

     

     

    Shen Jingchuan was almost electrocuted. She pushed the wheelchair violently and stepped back to avoid it, but she didn't expect that there was no way back, so she slammed into the door panel—

    Boom!

    The pain in the back of the head made Shen Jingchuan's brain blank for a moment, but it didn't hit too hard, just loud.

    Cen Sui was startled and shouted:

    "Are you all right!"

    The voice of Yu Lan and Aunt Zhang inquiring came from downstairs, Cen Sui ran downstairs and shouted "Silent River hit his head".

    Because of Shen Jingchuan's retreat, Yoyo took a long time to get up, and after a while she heard what Cen Sui said, only then did she realize that the thud was the sound of hitting her head.

    Shen Jingchuan coldly looked at Yoyo who was standing not far away.

    "Don't come here."

    There was obvious resistance and disgust in his voice.

    Yoyo is not a fool, she heard it too.

    But...

    My mother said that children should be brave to make up for their mistakes.

    Although this brother is a bit scary, but...but...

    Yoyo hesitated for a while, but walked towards the Silent River.

    Shen Jingchuan frowned and raised his voice unconsciously:

    “…I said, don’t come here, stay away from me…”

    "Whoohoo."

    In the sound of Shen Jingchuan's abrupt stop, Yoyo put her feet up, stretched her neck hard and blew his head, and reached out to carefully touch the back of his head that was hit.

    Shen Jingchuan was stiff, looking at Yoyo's fleshy profile in disbelief.

    …what is she doing…?

    "Blow it and it won't hurt."

    Yoyo recalled what Teacher Xiao Ruan said to other children when they were wrestling, and said seriously:

    "A man must be strong and not cry."

    However, Yoyo realized that she seemed to have cried just now, so she embarrassedly wiped her face, and pretended nothing had happened, turned her head, and moved towards the left leg of Shen Jingchuan that had disappeared from the knee. blow.

    "Does it hurt here too?" Yoyo took a deep breath, imitated the teacher, and blew, "Fu-hu-hu-pain fly away!"

    It would be nice to blow away the bad things Yo Yo dream did.

    Small blower.

    Shen Jingchuan stared at Yoyo seriously, feeling a little dazed for a while.

    Because he found out later that the two lifetimes added up—

    She was the first person to ask him if it hurt.
