Mrs. Chu figured that Song Yunxuan must have something up her sleeve.
And since she had finished her conversation with Gu Yi, she did not loiter for too long.
After she had talked to Gu Yi, she returned to her own place.
Gu Yi did not eat much. He seemed to have a lot on his mind.
He only had a little porridge for breakfast.
Song Yunxuan had a good appetite. She asked him while having her porridge, “What are you worrying about?”
Gu Yi made his lips into a straight line. He looked at Song Yunxuan in his precocious manner. He finally asked her after a long silence as if he had made up his mind, “You and he have bad blood, right?”
“He?”
Song Yunxuan smiled.
But she did not reply promptly.
She had issues with Shao Tianze for such a long time that all living souls in Yuncheng knew that she would definitely tear Shao Tianze apart.
Though the kid was still young, he was still Shao Tianze and Gu Changge’s son.
His identity made him anything but a naive little prince.
He could tell the rumors and those attacks towards Shao Tianze and the entire Shao enterprise.
Also, he could sense the special protection he received.
Thus, he already knew all of these.
He asked Song Yunxuan explicitly today just to double-check.
Song Yunxuan heard his question. She stood up, held her belly, and walked towards Gu Yi. She then picked up his little hand.
Then to Gu Yi’s surprise, she guided his hand to her protruding belly.
Gu Yi felt his fingers a bit stiff.
He could feel Song Yunxuan’s warm skin below the cloth on her stomach.
He wanted to withdraw his hand.
But Song Yunxuan caught his wrist tightly. “Can you feel it?”
Gu Yi bit his lower lip and lifted his eyes to look at Song Yunxuan, a bit confused.
“Can you feel there’s a life?”
Gu Yi could not tell what Song Yunxuan was trying to do.
Song Yunxuan smiled and said, “This is your little brother or sister.”
Her words were gentle. But the word “sister” hurt Gu Yi deeply.
Gu Yi slightly curled up his finger, and almost immediately, tears were brought to his eyes.
The hatred, humiliation, and helplessness in his heart were ignited.
“Sister…”
“Sister…”
He used to have a little sister.
But where was she now…?
She was turned into a deformed dead body and disappeared from the world forever.
“Are you expecting her birth?”
Song Yunxuan asked Gu Yi.
Tears started falling from Gu Yi’s eyes.
Then he widened his eyes and looked at Song Yunxuan’s belly. “I know you saved me. Whether it’s a little brother or sister, I will do my best to protect it.”
Song Yunxuan was satisfied with this answer. But she still asked, “You’ll protect it just because I saved you?”
“Yes. I’ll always remember that you protected me and saved me.”
“Then do you know why I protected you and saved you?”
Song Yunxuan asked him. Gu Yi bit his lower lip.
Seeing his expression, Song Yunxuan smiled, “You’re a clever boy.”
Gu Yi curled his fingers up tightly. He had a tentative answer.
But he didn’t dare to say it out. The answer was absurd. So he just bit his lower lip and refused to talk.
Song Yunxuan saw his refusal.
She leaned down and held Gu Yi in her arms. He had grown taller but slimmer these days.
Gu Yi’s body was tensed up when he was held.
Song Yunxuan patted him on his back.
The hug was familiar. The strength of the heart-warming patting was familiar, too.
Gu Yi widened his eyes.
He turned around his head in shock. “You…”
Song Yunxuan’s gentle tone was so familiar to Gu Yi as if he had had an illusion. “You got the right answer.”
Gu Yi was wide-mouthed.
But Song Yunxuan slowly retreated her body from the kid after this hug.
Then she stood straight and looked at Gu Yi from a height. “From now on, you have no need to fear. I will have your back. You need to learn to protect yourself, Yi.”
Gu Yi’s tears kept running down his face.
In front of Song Yunxuan, he cried, “I will. I will!”
She smiled. “Big boys don’t cry.”
Gu Yi shook his head. He lowered his eyes and dried his tears with the back of his hand. He murmured, “Miaomiao would be happy to know this. She had been missing…”
“Forget about her.”
Song Yunxuan interrupted Gu Yi. She slightly lifted her head and looked at the outside sunshine with determination and arrogance. “Don’t let sorrow get in your way, accompanying you like a nightmare and holding you back.”
“But Miaomiao…”
“I revenged for her.”
Song Yunxuan lowered her head to look at Gu Yi. Her fingers wiped away the tears on the kid’s face. “When someone hurts you, you retaliate. But after your revenge, you need to remember the hatred and remember why it took place in the first place.”
“It’s my bad. I couldn’t protect Miaomiao. It’s all my fault.”
Gu Yi kept criticizing himself.
Song Yunxuan looked at him. She did not intervene. “You’re not strong enough to protect Miaomiao.”
“I’ll grow stronger. I’ll protect my brother and sister and never let anyone hurt them.”
Gu Yi made his promise to Song Yunxuan.
Song Yunxuan smiled, “Alright. You’d better keep your promise.”
“Yes. I will.”
Song Yunxuan was satisfied and walked out. “If you finish your eating, let’s hit the road.”
Gu Yi heard about leaving and quickly got out of his chair. Then he followed Song Yunxuan.
Without turning around, Song Yunxuan felt that Gu Yi had followed her.
While walking, she asked Gu Yi, “You’re about to see your father. Can you keep calm?”
Gu Yi nodded. “I can.”
“It’s probably hard to accept.”
Though she hadn’t seen Shao Tianze or Gu Changle since last time, she was pretty sure that both of them were having a terrible time.
Though Shao Tianze asked to look after Gu Changle, he still failed to stop her from getting mad.
Gu Changle bit him and bit off one of his ears.
His face was probably still injured now.
She heard from the mental hospital that Gu Changle even bit other patients’ faces when she was mad.
Gu Changle was madder than she thought.
However, though the patients in the mental hospital were sick, they only had mental illnesses.
Facing Gu Changle’s attack, these patients could also fight back.
She was curious about what Gu Changle had learnt from them.
