Hearing this long-lost call, Gu Zhiyin's fingers froze and his expression froze.
After a while, his Adam's apple rolled, and a hoarse voice came out, "What did you just call me?"
"Ah...did I admit the wrong person? Aren't you my Uncle Gu?"
She tilted her head, "But, you look just like him."
Her Uncle Gu...
Gu Zhiyin's heart trembled and his breathing became rapid.
"Hey, why are your eyes red?" Mu Ning's big eyes were full of confusion, "Did you think of something sad?"
Gu Zhiyin looked away in panic.
"No, you saw it wrong."
A pair of small hands held his face, turned it over, and looked at it carefully.
"Why do you look so similar to my Uncle Gu?"
"Ning Ning..."
"Are you my Uncle Gu?"
Gu Zhiyin paused, trying to see something in her eyes.
Her eyes were sincere, not disgusting or disgusting at all, but full of expectation.
Was she too drunk and had forgotten the things that made her sad?
That's fine.
Gu Zhiyin's eyebrows softened, "Yes, I am."
She suddenly frowned and pursed her lips, "Woooooooo..."
"What's wrong?"
Mu Ning threw herself on him, wrapped her little hands around his neck, and started crying.
Gu Zhiyin was caught off guard and was knocked into his arms. His body froze slightly. He sat down on the sofa, held her in his lap, and patted her back, "Why are you crying, little one?"
Mu Ning raised his head, his eyes were red.
"Uuuuuuu, Uncle Gu, someone...someone wants to take advantage of me, and also wants to cut off my hand..."
Gu Zhiyin frowned slightly. Those people were threatening her like this?
The image of He Xiangyang's hand being hit by an iron rod lingered in her mind.
She was greatly frightened, her memory and logic were confused, and she thought the group was going to cut off her hand.
Mu Ning sobbed and choked, "Uncle Gu, help me, help me teach them a lesson and tell them not to chop off my hands."
Gu Zhiyin's eyes were gloomy, overflowing with evil aura. Worry frightened her. He lowered his eyes and coaxed gently, "Okay, Ning Ning is not afraid anymore. As long as I am here, they will not cut off your hand."
"Really, really?"
"Um."
"Then, Uncle Gu wants to... protect me... hiccup."
"good."
Gu Zhiyin touched her head, hugged her and stood up, "How about taking Ning Ning up to wash up."
Mu Ning nodded, lay on his shoulder, and let the man carry her into the room.
Gu Zhiyin put her on the bed and turned to leave.
The tie was held by a small hand.
"You, where are you going?"
"Go and give Ningning bath water."
"Why does Ning Ning need to take a bath?"
Mu Ning asked innocently.
Gu Zhiyin also answered seriously: "If you don't take a shower, you will be dirty and you will have nightmares when you sleep at night."
"...Will you have nightmares?"
The man hummed, with a serious look on his face, "There will be monsters in the dream that eat children. Is Ning Ning afraid?"
Mu Ning was so frightened that she hugged Gu Zhiyin's waist tightly, "Oh... no, Ning Ning doesn't want to be eaten... Uncle Gu... wu wu!"
With her soft little body close to her, Gu Zhiyin felt her small hands holding her tightly, and felt satisfied.
He stroked her head lovingly and said, "Ning Ning, go and take a bath. Once you're clean, you won't be eaten."
"Well! Ning Ning, be good, Ning Ning go take a bath... burp!"
Gu Zhiyin slightly raised her thin lips. How much had this girl drank? Has her little brain stopped functioning? A three-year-old child could not coax her, but he could deceive her.
He patted her back gently and signaled her to let go. She shook her little head and said nothing.
"No, no, don't leave, the monster will eat Ning Ning."
Gu Zhiyin sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to bend down, take her hands and hang them around his neck, then lift up her butt, stand up and walk to the bathroom.
…
In the bathroom, Mu Ning hung on the man like a sloth.
Her whole body was limp and she couldn't exert any strength. He was afraid that she would fall. Gu Zhiyin held her small body with one hand and put water in the bathtub with the other hand and played with the things for bathing.
Perhaps the man gave her too much sense of security, or perhaps she was too comfortable and at ease. She fell asleep in his arms.
By the time the bathtub was full, she had fallen asleep.
Gu Zhiyin lowered his head and saw her having a light slumber. He laughed helplessly and sat on the edge of the bathtub without waking her up and began to undress her.
He was wearing thick winter clothes, and he didn't know how gentle and patient this man's movements were. Mu Ning didn't wake up during the whole process.
She was stripped naked.
Holding such a snow-white and soft body, the man's breathing became a little tight.
Her little rabbit was exposed to the air, pink and tender, and under the influence of alcohol, that spot was particularly red.
With his Adam's apple rolling, he turned his dark eyes away and carefully put her into the bathtub.
Mu Ning soaked in the water to prevent her from choking. The man's big hands dragged her head and quickly cleaned her.
When I was applying shower gel to her arms, I saw several scratches of varying depths on her wrists.
Gu Zhiyin froze.
This is……
The scar left when Mu Ning committed suicide.
Although it is already healed, the new flesh that has grown out is pink and white, and looks a bit ferocious as if it were turned inside out.
She has a scar-proliferating constitution, which means that these marks will never go away.
Gu Zhiyin's heart sank, remembering that in order to escape from him, she used a sharp ring to cut her wrist again and again, and thinking of her lying in a bathtub full of blood, her head suddenly hurt.
He slowly squatted down outside the bathtub, touched her wrist with trembling fingers, and suddenly his eyes turned red when he touched the raised scars.
"sorry……"
"I didn't treat you well, I'm really sorry..."
