All the injuries suffered over the years finally erupted after many years of dormancy, Gu Nanfeng found that his gradual deafness began from the inability to hear the guests clearly, from the blurred at the beginning to the need to repeat the stimulation to barely hear clearly, this situation continued until he returned to H City with Xiao Xubai, and there was still no improvement.

She often stared blankly at her closed mouth but didn't know what she was talking about, she could only guess from her look and body movements, whenever Xiao Xubai would always pull her palm to write stroke by stroke, looking at her gently and seriously.

The best way is to install hearing aids and slowly recover her hearing, accompanied by hearing loss, as well as her ability to express herself in language, because she can't hear what others are saying, she becomes more inferior and taciturn, which is very different from the teacher Gu who used to have a lotus tongue on the podium.

When he woke up late at night again, there was no one in the bed, Xiao Xubai bounced up from the bed with a carp, searched for her figure everywhere, and finally found her on the balcony.

The night in early autumn was slightly cold, and she only wore a white suspender pajama dress, bent her knees around herself, and her back was thin and sparse.

Xiao Xubai took a blanket and draped it over her, put his arm around her shoulder, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Why don't you sleep?" ”

Gu Nanfeng frowned slightly and raised his eyes to look at her, trying to hear what she said, but it was still in vain, and his blank and hurt eyes made Xiao Xubai's heart clench.

She pulled her palm and wrote, "How, what, no, sleep, sleep?" ”

The itching in his palm made Gu Nanfeng shrink and shake his head, "I can't sleep"

"That, I, give, you, speak, therefore, things"

The corners of Gu Nanfeng's lips slightly hooked up a smile, "Okay"

Xiao Xubai got up and went back to the room and turned on the speakers, the low-frequency 16~150HZ music can keep people happy and promote sleep, and the soft waves mixed with the slight wind began to echo in the house.

Before the story was finished, the person had already leaned on her shoulder and closed her eyes slightly, she always couldn't sleep like this, she was easy to wake up in the middle of the night, and fell asleep quickly because of her lack of body, Xiao Xubai sighed lightly and picked up the person, no matter how she raised it, she was still light and weightless.

She doesn't seem to be very different from before, but in fact, the depression is even more severe, no one can contact her except her, not to mention communication, and she has lost interest in most things, including the writing she once loved, she can sit motionless on the balcony in a daze all day, without eating or drinking, Xiao Xubai once went on a business trip for three days, and after she came back, she fainted at home, obviously the rice was in the rice cooker, and she didn't eat.

Since then, she has never dared to leave her alone at home, working from home if she is not busy, video conferencing when she needs to have meetings, and taking her with her even when she is forced to go to the company.

Gu Nanfeng's situation slowly stabilized again, but he became very insecure, sensitive and inferior, and always felt that he had dragged her down, and sometimes he didn't even pay attention to her when he was depressed, and even ran away from home without permission, Xiao Xubai was already in tears when he caught someone at the train station, and hugged her on the crowded street and cried bitterly.

"Nanfeng, are you going to throw me down again?"

How many decades can be wasted in a person's life, Xiao Xubai's sideburns have quietly climbed up to the silver threads, and there are fine lines at the corners of his eyes, no matter how well he takes care of it, he can't stop the aging and sagging skin.

"I won't dislike you, I don't blame you, you're just sick, and you're still the same as before, even if it's not good, you're better than anyone else in my heart."

Gu Nanfeng buried her head in her neck and couldn't cry, although she couldn't really hear what she said, but her attitude had already shown that she finally had reason to believe that if there was someone in this world who would love her unreservedly, it must be Xiao Xubai.

"Good morning" As soon as Gu Nanfeng opened her eyes, she was greeted by a pair of amber eyes, and from her gentle look and the tacit understanding between the two people, Gu Nanfeng could easily tell what she was talking about.

"Early"

What answered her was a light and breezy good morning kiss, which slowly fell on her forehead and stopped for three seconds before letting go of her, Gu Nanfeng's face was a little red, and he looked at her with a little shyness, and his innocent eyes made his whole heart melt.

Xiao Xubai scratched her nose lightly, "Get up, I'll take you to the park to play today"

One is to stimulate her hearing, and the other is to avoid her inferiority, if she can, she can't compare, but fortunately, the tacit understanding between the two people for decades allows Gu Nanfeng to vaguely understand what she means just from the movement of her lips.

The first step in depression recovery is to cultivate an interest in the things around her, reading and writing is too nerve-wracking, and she is afraid that she will be addicted to it and can't extricate herself, so Xiao Xubai gave up, she bought a lot of children's toys, large and small dolls piled up all over the sofa, if you don't know, you still think that there are children in this house, in fact, it is just to pass the time in her spare time, from the beginning of ignoring it, to now she will sit cross-legged on the sofa and ponder for an afternoon, which is already a good development.

Xiao Xubai was cooking in the kitchen, the sound of cooking porridge filled the entire room, the fragrance of rice was overflowing, she took the time to look back at her while she was busy, Gu Nanfeng sat on the sofa and competed with a Rubik's cube, her face was innocent after returning to the basics, she was a rare person who still had a childlike heart in adulthood.

As if to make up for all the regrets in the past, Xiao Xubai took her to watch movies and listen to concerts, went to ride the roller coaster Ferris wheel, went to Ocean Park to watch dolphin performances, accompanied her to go shopping, bought clothes for her, cooked for her and took care of her, hugged her tightly when she was down, and watched cartoons with her when she was happy, she would no longer laugh at her childishness, because she knew that this was actually a rare quality, and she still retained her inner clarity and innocence after the world.

I will prepare a surprise for her every day, so that the passion of love will last forever, sometimes it is a bouquet of flowers, sometimes it is a small gift, sometimes it is even just a button or a post-it note on the refrigerator, with affectionate words written on it or a few cute cartoons.

From the selfish and domineering at the beginning, to the gentle, considerate, mature and stable now, she is becoming a better person, and Gu Nanfeng is not like this.

She is also trying to get herself out of the shadow of depression, actively cooperate with the treatment, force herself to talk more and divert her attention and stop being in a daze all day long, sometimes she wants to take her out to play, even if she doesn't want to, she will still follow her advice, fortunately, Xiao Xubai has never disappointed her.

There were a lot of people walking in the park, and there were also people walking their dogs in twos and threes, and Gu Nanfeng had already broken free of her hand when she answered the phone, Xiao Xubai came back to his senses and hurriedly hung up the phone to catch up.

The fluffy Samoyed in front of him was so cute, and his big black eyes were shining with wet water, which reminded Gu Nanfeng of the shepherd dog raised in Xiao's house in the past, and he couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it.

Before he could touch it, he heard a loud shout, and the owner of the dog rushed over, "Stop! Have you washed your hands, how can you touch our dog casually! ”

Gu Nanfeng took two steps back, a little frightened, his eyes were blank and he couldn't hear what she was saying, so he had to be silent, but her expression and body language had already told her that this person was not friendly, and even faintly disgusted her.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the owner of the dog became even more energetic, bursting out like a cannon, which roughly means whether she wants to take away her own dog, Gu Nanfeng's eyes had a trace of innocence, and he felt the eyes of the people around him who fell on him to explore, and he was at a loss, as if countless magnesium lights were projected on him, all secrets were nowhere to escape, the eardrums were buzzing, Gu Nanfeng covered his ears, and slowly turned red.

A hand firmly and gently dragged her out of the crowd, and when she came back to her senses, she was already sitting on a park bench, Xiao Xubai's expression was patient and gentle, "Like that dog?" ”

Thinking that she was talking about touching someone's dog without permission, Gu Nanfeng shook his head desperately, his eyes were flustered, and he didn't know how to explain it, and his eyes slowly turned red.

Xiao Xubai was distressed, took the person into his arms, and gently patted her back again and again, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I don't mean to blame you, if you like it, we will buy it."

Staying in H City is to let her have more contact with the crowd, after all, there are still their best memories here, but now it seems that the environment abroad is better, looking at her side face that was sleeping because of tiredness, Xiao Xubai made a decision, got up and went to the balcony to make a call to Qin Ge, asking him to help prepare a qiē first.

"Xubai, where are we going?"

Standing in the crowded waiting room, Gu Nanfeng finally felt a little nervous, pulled her sleeve, and Xiao Xubai took her hand into his palm, "Didn't you say that I would take you to the Seychelles?" ”

The waiting room was full of people, and the sound of the radio was also ringing non-stop, Gu Nanfeng tried hard for a long time but still couldn't hear what she said, and his expression was a little frustrated.

Xiao Xubai lightly crossed the three words Seychelles in her palm, Gu Nanfeng's eyes instantly swelled with joy, seeing that she was finally happy, Xiao Xubai also pursed her lips and smiled, and pulled her to stride forward.

September is early autumn, but the weather in Seychelles is still bright, the rainy season has passed, the sky is the same color as the sea every day, and when walking on the beach, Gu Nanfeng's face has more and more smiles.

"What are you doing?" She squatted on the ground and didn't know what she was doing, Xiao Xubai walked over and patted her on the shoulder, and said softly.

Gu Nanfeng picked up a few shells from the ground and handed them to her like a treasure, "I put what I want to say into the shells."

"Really? I'll listen," Xiao Xubai picked up a conch from her hand and put it to her ear, with a slight wind and the echo of the waves.

The corners of her lips slightly hooked up a hint of doting, and she spit out three words at the shell and put them in her ear, Gu Nanfeng frowned slightly for a moment and then let go, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

"Do you hear me?" Xiao Xubai took her hand and wrote one stroke at a time.

Gu Nanfeng nodded, a hint of shame on his face.

"Repeat that"

I haven't heard her say this for a long time, and I've forgotten how she throbbed last time she said I love you, Gu Nanfeng is a person who is easy to be shy, and she never confides in her heart lightly, she has to be a little careful.

Gu Nanfeng bit his lower lip tightly, and seemed to be a little embarrassed, Xiao Xubai clenched his fists and looked at her for a long time, with the intention of not giving up without saying anything.

There were very few people on the beach near the private villa, Gu Nanfeng looked back and saw that there was no one around, suddenly stood on tiptoe and grabbed her shirt and swept it over her lips like a dragonfly, and then let go of his hand and ran away.

Xiao Xubai came back to his senses and touched his lips, the warm touch was still there, that person had already run away, and he couldn't help crying and laughing, was he being lighted up? It's too irresponsible to run away after kissing!

"South wind, don't run, let me catch you and you must come back"

The two of them were playing on the beach, and the laughter like silver bells spread far away, and in a trance they returned to the days on the West Coast of the United States, and they were just as carefree and happy.

After returning home, Gu Nanfeng went to take a bath, Xiao Xubai went into the study and turned on the computer to see if the company had anything to deal with, now most of Gu's things were handed over to Qin Ge and Xiao Gao, she retreated bravely when her career was at its most prosperous, just to free up more time to accompany her, so as to make up for the debt of most of the last two people's lives.

Gu Nanfeng came out of the shower, the tablet she put on the bed lit up, and while wiping her hair, she picked it up and looked at it, and immediately frowned, and ran into the study barefoot as if she had discovered a new continent, and brought it to her.

"Xubai, look, Xiao Gao and Yunjin's baby, isn't it particularly cute, so cute?"
