"Miss Nangong?" Gu Junlin whispered.
Nangong Lianyue seemed not to have heard anything. She suddenly exerted force and tightened her grip on Gu Junlin's hand, like a drowning person who couldn't swim: "Brother, you said you would help me!"
"Lian...Lianyue, don't worry, my eldest brother will definitely help you break off the engagement."
Although Nangong Lianyue opened her eyes, her pupils were dilated. Gu Junlin suspected that the other party might be sleepwalking and recognized himself as Nangong Changming.
"Really?" Nangong Lianyue was like a pitiful kitten, with an aura of weakness all over her body. She stretched out her other hand, grabbed the corner of Gu Junlin's clothes, and pulled back.
Seeing that she was afraid of leaving, Gu Junlin took advantage of the situation and sat down next to her, pretending to be Nangong Changming, and said softly: "Brother means what he says."
"But brother has broken his promise many times." Nangong Lianyue continued to hold the corner of Gu Junlin's clothes with one hand, wiping her tears with the other hand, and choked:
"My eldest brother used to be omnipotent. No matter what I wanted or what request I made, you could always achieve it. Why can't you do it now?"
When Gu Junlin heard this, his eyes instantly moistened. Nangong Lianyue's words reminded him of his deceased grandfather.
In the past, his grandfather was omnipotent in his mind. He could read and teach, he could climb trees to dig out bird's nests, and he could go into the water to catch small fish.
Later I learned that grandpa would also fall ill, and there would be days when he couldn't get out of bed or walk.
When he was wronged and bullied, he truly realized that the grandfather who had always protected him would never appear again.
Nangong Lianyue murmured to herself like she was dreaming:
"My father is always very strict and full of majesty. My second brother is cold-tempered and doesn't like to talk. He doesn't pay much attention to me when he has time. When I was young, you played with me and you were always the one who made me happy. In my eyes, The eldest brother is more like his father than his father..."
"You said that when I grow up to be a big girl, there will be another man accompanying me in the future. He will pamper me and make me happy like you do. He will love and care for me like a father does to his mother. He will take your place. , in place of my father, in place of everyone, love me all my life, protect me all my life..."
"Since then, I have been looking forward to the appearance of the person my brother mentioned every day, and I have been thinking about the person who will always be with me in the future. What does he look like?"
"Eldest brother always says that he is the most handsome man in the three worlds, so my other half should be better-looking than eldest brother, and his spirit will kill you."
Nangong Lianyue giggled happily for a while and continued:
"Of course, this is not a hard and fast condition. I don't care about his appearance. As long as it's not too ugly, it's fine."
"Mediocre looks are good too, so that I won't be like my big brother, who gets into trouble with others. The person I like can only look at me. If he dares to like someone else again, I will cry desperately and feel sorry for him! "
"If you want to cultivate your talent, you'd better be like me, so you don't have to worry about separation in life or death. We will live together, die together, and we will still be together in the next life."
"As for family background, it doesn't matter whether they are well-matched or not. My Nangong family has a great business and there is no need for marriage."
"As long as he is a man with a gentle personality, a bright smile, who can protect me with his life, and can also make me blush and make my heart beat faster..."
When Gu Junlin heard the girl in his arms yearning for the future, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and the images of his master and senior sister appeared in his mind.
Just as he was immersed in the beautiful past, Nangong Lianyue suddenly grabbed his clothes with both hands, raised his head and glared:
"Everything was fine, but why did you provoke the second lady of the Qin family?! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to marry the Qin family!!!"
Gu Junlin held his breath, not even daring to take a breath, for fear of irritating Nangong Lianyue. He suddenly felt that the whip he used on Nangong Changming during the day was still too light.
Nangong Changming personally destroyed the dream of a girl. This girl was still his most beloved sister. His fault should not be borne by others.
Just when Gu Junlin thought that Nangong Lianyue would continue to angrily scold him as his "big brother", the other party suddenly let out a sigh of relief, hugged his knees and cried loudly:
"You have no strength or talent, so why should you show mercy?"
"If you could be as good as my second brother, the Qin family wouldn't be so dissatisfied, and my father wouldn't have to compensate me for it. Brother, I hate you the most now!"
While crying, Nangong Lianyue suddenly asked in a low voice: "Brother, does it hurt where I slapped you? Did I hit you a little too hard?"
After hearing so much, Gu Junlin became a little bit into the drama. He subconsciously regarded Nangong Lianyue as his sister, rubbed her head, and said with tenderness in his eyes:
"It doesn't hurt. This is what I deserve, big brother. Next time, just fight to death, just like you did to Qin Ziji."
Gu Junlin somewhat understood Nangong Changming's guilt and self-blame. Because of him, his once cute and cute sister had to put on a prickly disguise to protect her weak heart.
Maybe Nangong Lianyue has been pretending to be the unruly and willful eldest lady for a long time, and many words and actions have formed instinctive habits, and she is really a bit pampered.
But her nature is definitely not bad. Take tonight's misunderstanding as an example. A truly unreasonable young lady with a bad temper will never apologize even if she knows she has done something wrong.
"Mr. Gu, can you please take your hand away?" Nangong Lianyue, who had been quiet for a while, suddenly said something.
"This, this..." Gu Junlin immediately retracted his hand with a sneer on his face, his brain working rapidly, thinking of how to explain.
Nangong Lianyue moved back twice and touched a thin quilt beside her. After being stunned for a moment, she picked it up and wrapped it around her body, huddled up and whispered: "Thank you..."
Gu Junlin looked at her in confusion. Instead of scolding himself, he said thank you?
Nangong Lianyue said softly: "Thank you for bringing me a quilt."
"It's okay, it's just a little effort." Gu Junlin laughed awkwardly, and then asked tentatively: "Miss Nangong, do you remember what happened just now?"
Nangong Lianyue shook her head slightly: "I don't remember, but I know what the situation was...it made Mr. Gu laugh."
She suffers from sleepwalking symptoms once or twice a month, making the bed and room a mess every time.
The "murderer" comes every month, but her father, a master, said that there was no scent of other people in the room. This made her realize something was wrong, so she installed a photo stone in the room, and then she discovered that the "real murderer" was actually herself!
