When Gu Xinglan brought the person out, Li Hetai had already stopped crying and was bowing his head.
He remained silent and taciturn even in the car.
With all other noises gone, my heart calmed down.
"Li Hetai".
Gu Xinglan gripped the steering wheel, feeling increasingly uneasy. She turned her head to look behind her and her eyes met those two pairs of eyes.
Li Hetai has indeed grown up, becoming more spirited and shedding his childhood baby fat. He is now as tall as Li Hetai's chin and will probably surpass him soon.
In his previous life, Li Hetai was nearly two meters tall, and he must be the same in this life.
“Please fasten your seatbelt.”
All the questions I wanted to ask could be condensed into this one sentence.
Seeing those eyes, Gu Xinglan felt her face flush and turned away again.
I just hugged Li Hetai and comforted him. Now that I've calmed down, I suddenly don't know how to face this kid. After all, the two of us haven't seen each other for more than two months.
The car drove to town and took Li Hetai to the hospital for a full set of examinations. When the results came out, it showed that he had many external injuries but almost no internal injuries, and all his indicators were very healthy.
Li and Tai are people who rarely even eat sugar.
"This child is fine, well taken care of. I'll prescribe some topical ointment. You can pick it up at the pharmacy on the first floor and then pay at window number 3."
The doctors in the town are very down-to-earth.
"Thank you, doctor." Gu Xinglan took the prescription.
Li Hetai sat obediently in the chair, and even when he got up to leave, he would tug at the hem of his clothes.
That hand wasn't exactly beautiful; there were scars on the back of it and thick calluses between the knuckles. But its advantage was that the fingers were thick and long, and when it grabbed him, it almost wrinkled his clothes.
Of course, you should have a good meal when you're out and about.
Based on her memory of the last visit, Gu Xinglan led Li Hetai to the restaurant with the most customers.
The food in Jiangtong Town tends to be light.
"You must be starving, eat up." Gu Xinglan moved the bowl to the opposite side.
After the people opposite him had almost finished eating, he tentatively asked, "Were you in Li Jianbai's courtyard those few days?"
Was it you who was spying on me from the shadows, making it impossible for me to sleep well for days?
After pondering for a long time, Gu Xinglan finally decided to speak her mind.
The boy opposite looked so pitiful. He used to eat with big mouthfuls of food, but now he not only ate with proper posture, but also opened his mouth very little and moved very elegantly.
Gu Xinglan inexplicably saw a shadow of her past life and quickly shook her head.
"Hmm." Li Hetai wiped his mouth with a tissue, his gaze slowly rising and locking onto Gu Xinglan.
"Gu Xinglan, I betrayed you."
Gu Xinglan wanted to ask more questions, but Li Hetai said something else.
"What did you betray me for? Today is only the first time we've met in a while." Gu Xinglan said this with a little restraint.
But when he pressed for further explanation, Li Hetai refused to offer any further explanation.
He was completely baffled.
Suddenly, the image of him kissing Li Jianbai through his palm flashed into his mind.
That was the time he felt the most intense prying, and the time it sent chills down his spine. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to go into Li Jianbai's courtyard for several days.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Gu Xinglan glanced at Li Hetai with resentment.
"Since you can see me, why don't you come and see me in person?"
When the boy was told the truth, he didn't show any displeasure. He simply raised his eyes to meet the boy's gaze and said firmly, "I'm waiting for you. You will come to see me."
"You brat! I'm trying to see you because I don't know anything about you..."
If he could receive Li Hetai's updates every day, why would he need to go see this person?
“I hear your name every day… People are talking about you, I’ve overheard a lot of things, and Liu Feizhou even said you were punished. How can I not worry? On the other hand, you can see me, so why can’t you talk to me face to face?”
This guy has no idea how worried he was when he heard the news of the punishment.
Gu Xinglan let out a long sigh.
Does this mean our relationship is becoming strained?
What Gu Xinglan couldn't see was that the person opposite her was almost unable to control the darkness in their eyes.
The intensely suppressed colors, if Gu Xinglan could accept even a little bit, he would release them completely.
Unfortunately, Gu Xinglan's gaze was clear, even carrying a hint of reproach.
"Fine, I'll take you for a walk around town. Whatever you want to do today, I'll go with you," Gu Xinglan said helplessly, sipping her tea.
"I want to go to a bar."
Gu Xinglan almost spat out all the tea in her mouth, but managed to swallow it before coughing violently.
He went to bars twice, and both times left a very bad impression on him. Gu Xinglan looked at the person opposite him with a tense face and felt uncomfortable. "Why did you think of going drinking?"
With so much wine in the Li family mansion, you could secretly take a wine jug and scoop a spoonful in if you wanted a taste, and still have something new to try.
Want to go to a bar? The only problem is that Lai and Tai might not be there to drink.
“That’s different. I want to go with you.”
"What are you planning?" Gu Xinglan gently tapped the table twice.
After a couple of pats, the person on the other end wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, completely lacking any energy.
"Apart from this, I'll give you anything else you want."
The next second, Li Hetai nodded.
Why does it feel like I've been tricked? Gu Xinglan frowned slightly.
He doesn't like bars, and he wouldn't let Li Hetai, who is so young, go to places where all sorts of people mingle.
“And…” Li Hetai said haltingly, “I’ve been feeling a bit strange lately. Mr. Liu taught me some things, but I can’t learn them or do them.”
On the way, as the two headed towards the hotel against the backdrop of the sunset, Li and Tai slowed their pace until they were walking side by side.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinglan raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Is there anything that Li Hetai can't learn?
Moreover, he had heard Liu Feizhou say that this person had already learned all the knowledge and no longer needed Liu Feizhou to teach him.
Liu Feizhou is now teaching other children of the Li family, including Li Shengwana and his group.
"What did he teach you?" Gu Xinglan asked, puzzled.
"I don't know how to say it, but I think you can help me."
When he said this, Li Hetai didn't even look at him.
He was used to it, but now he felt the atmosphere was very strange.
That half of his usually cold and handsome face was now flushed with a thin layer of light red, even his neck was tinged with the color.
It's hard to believe that Liu Feizhou would organize those strange and unusual exhibitions on his own.
Gu Xinglan tensed up and asked again, "What exactly did he teach you?" Her tone unconsciously rose at the end.
The person next to him seemed to have made up his mind.
The eyes that looked over were as black as ink, yet were tinged with other colors by the crimson sunset, glistening with a watery sheen, as she forcefully pulled down his collar.
Gu Xinglan stared blankly, a sense of unease creeping into her heart.
Did Li Hetai in his past life also give him that look?
He was all too familiar with that look in his eyes.
He is not an oblivious person who knows nothing.
The whispers in my ear made the air thick with tension.
Gu Xinglan felt a sudden chill, as if a fine electric current was gently sweeping over her body.
Ah, so it turns out that Li Hetai has reached the age where he should be properly relieved... This, shouldn't it be something that comes with him from the factory? Gu Xinglan was a little stunned, tripped over her own feet, and staggered.
