"Then?"
"Then, there was an accident when I was three years old, and my dad died trying to save me. From that point on, everything changed."
“The house that was once full of laughter could no longer hear laughter.”
"In the fifth year after my father left, when I was just eight years old, my mother also fell ill and passed away due to overwork."
"Actually, this result was foreseeable from the beginning. After my father passed away, the burden of taking care of the entire family fell on my mother. From then on, my mother left early every day and came home late every day, working day and night. I was still young at that time, and I didn’t understand this or it was difficult to understand the sadness of adults, so I often made noises and blamed her for not accompanying me.”
"Later, when I grew up, I thought about it and realized that maybe the reason why my mother worked so hard back then was not only to bear the heavy burden of life, but also to numb herself with hard work so that she could forget the pain of losing her husband. !”
Su Qinghe's tone was calm and soft, as if he was telling someone else's story.
But the more she behaves like this, the more distressed Gu Yifan feels.
It's not that Gu Yifan fell in love with her, but he simply felt sorry for her unfortunate experience.
"When I watched my mother being carried out of the house by the doctor, I stood there dumbfounded."
"Even at my mother's funeral, I didn't cry because I couldn't believe that my mother, who asked me to take me shopping the day before, had turned into a little brat today."
"It wasn't until after the funeral that I felt heartbroken!"
"Because I know that after the slate is sealed, my mother will never come back."
When she said this, Su Qinghe's tone was no longer as calm as it was at the beginning, and her voice was hoarse and choked.
Gu Yifan looked at the thin girl in front of him, and felt ripples in his heart again.
He reached out his right hand and gently held the girl's hand.
Feeling the warmth coming from the palm of his hand, Su Qinghe paused slightly, and then returned to normal again.
After adjusting his emotions, Su Qinghe spoke again.
"Later, after my mother's funeral, my grandma moved in with me."
"From that time on, my grandmother was the only one left in the family to depend on each other."
"It was also from that time that people in the village began to say that I was an unlucky person, the reincarnation of a broom star, who first killed my father and then my mother."
"My classmates in school also bullied me after they learned that I lost my parents."
"At first I would argue with them and argue with them, but as time went on I started to become numb."
"Sometimes I wonder if it's really like what they say, that I am an evil person who killed my parents!"
"Because my father did die because of me!"
"Grandma always comforted me, saying that my parents' death had nothing to do with me. It was their own life."
"Tell me that I am a kind child, an angel, not a broom star!"
"But......"
"My grandma also passed away from cancer last month!"
"I am the only one left in this world..."
At this point, Su Qinghe's beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with tears, but she tried hard not to cry.
The world kisses me with pain, and I smile in return!
This sentence suddenly flashed in Gu Yifan's mind.
"Alas~"
He sighed softly and spoke softly and gently. "You can cry if you want, it'll be okay."
As soon as he said these words, Su Qinghe could no longer hold back.
Tears flowed down uncontrollably. Looking at Su Qinghe who was crying so hard, Gu Yifan's heart trembled slightly.
No longer hesitate.
He stretched out his hands, took her into his arms and whispered softly in her ear: "It's okay, it's okay, you are no longer alone from now on, you will have me in the future."
"No matter what happens, you can tell me and I will face it with you."
"Because we are friends, right?"
Feeling Gu Yifan's warm embrace, Su Qinghe's suppressed voice could no longer be controlled at this moment.
As for the last sentence, Su Qinghe couldn't hear it clearly.
She lay on Gu Yifan's chest and burst into tears.
Gu Yifan didn't speak again. He reached out and patted Su Qinghe's back gently, holding her silently.
............................
The night wind blew past my face, and the temperature began to drop a lot.
I don’t know how long it took.
Su Qinghe had stopped crying, but would sob from time to time.
This is a natural reaction of the body after crying for too long.
Gu Yifan hugged her as long as she cried.
Another ten minutes passed.
Su Qinghe's mood has slowly begun to calm down.
only!
I don’t know if it’s because I walked too far today or because I cried for too long.
Unknowingly, Su Qinghe fell asleep.
Gu Yifan was stunned for a moment when he heard the even breathing coming from his arms.
He glanced down and found that Su Qinghe in his arms had fallen asleep.
At this time, she frowned, and there were still glistening tears under her long eyelashes.
He looks a bit silly when sleeping.
Well.......
This is a fool. Do you trust me so much?
Gu Yifan thought to himself.
"What a big heart!"
He pursed his lips and said helplessly.
However, Gu Yifan didn't have the heart to wake her up, because he knew that Su Qinghe was really tired.
never mind!
Just let her have a good sleep!
Gu Yifan shook his head.
...
Time flew by and came to half past five in the morning.
Looking up to the east, there was already a faint light on the horizon.
Apparently the sunrise is coming!
Gu Yifan carefully freed one hand and tried to take his phone out of his pocket.
"Well......"
At this moment, Su Qinghe in Gu Yifan's arms groaned.
The eyelashes on his eyes trembled slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, Su Qinghe's eyes were filled with confusion.
An expression of who am I and where am I!
"Are you awake?"
Gu Yifan said softly.
"Yeah~"
Su Qinghe was suddenly startled, as if he remembered something!
Her face instantly turned red, and she hurriedly struggled out of Gu Yifan's arms. She lowered her head slightly, her eyes were a little evasive, and she didn't dare to look at Gu Yifan at all!
Gu Yifan looked at her shy look and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
"that......."
"It's almost dawn!"
He stood up, stretched hard, and said casually.
Hearing him speak, Su Qinghe looked up at the sky and found that a glimmer of light had begun to appear on the horizon, and fire clouds had begun to appear around the glimmer.
Sudden!
From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Gu Yifan's shirt being wet on his chest!
Obviously, that is his "masterpiece"!
When he thought of how he had lost his composure earlier, Su Qinghe wanted to find a gap to get in.
It’s so embarrassing!
"Gu...no...I'm sorry, your clothes were stained."
She blushed and said softly.
"Um?"
Gu Yifan, who didn't hear what she said clearly, was stunned for a moment, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Your...clothes..."
She pointed at Gu Yifan's chest and said in a voice like mosquito silk.
.......
