Chapter 31: Lullaby

Gu Xiaobei found some dry branches nearby and prepared to set up a fire. Although she knew how to cook at the age of eight, the first time she used this kind of stove to cook, she choked and coughed, and it took a lot of effort to start a fire, and in the end, the porridge was still a little mushy.

When she worked hard to bring the porridge to Li Haonan, Li Haonan returned to that kind of impatient and bored appearance, and looked at her condescendingly, "Don't think that if you please me, I can not kill you!" ”

Gu Xiaobei was already tossed and exhausted because of this meal, and at this moment, when he heard Li Haonan mocking himself like this, he completely broke out, choked and cried: "Li Haonan, what do you want me to do, yes, my father owes you, but I don't owe you, you have easily ruined me, you humiliate me, torture me, and treat me like a prostitute. The woman gave me away, forced me to commit suicide, and now she wants to kill me! Why are you, why are you doing this to me! I don't owe you ...... Me, am I easy? I went to pick up the rice, and my hands were pierced, the fire here is not good, and it choked my tears and snot, and you still don't appreciate it......"

Li Haonan looked at Gu Xiaobei's hands stretched out to him, they were really red, and there were faint traces of blood, his full forehead was soaked in fine beads of sweat because of his busyness, and his white face touched a few jet-black ashes. He suddenly felt so happy and happy that he laughed out loud.

Gu Xiaobei was a little stunned by Li Haonan's laughter, it was the first time she heard Li Haonan smile so kindly, the first time she heard him laugh so purely, purely for pleasure. His laughter wasn't loud, but it sounded so unaccustomed to itβ€”it was a normal person's laugh, undisguised, not his usual inscrutable or weird laugh.

She saw that Li Haonan began to drink porridge with her head down, and after suffering a serious psychological blow, she gave up on herself and disregarded her image, wiped her tears twice, and began to drink it with a snort. It's a little mushy, but it tastes good.

Maybe it was because he drank some porridge, Li Haonan's people were also a little more energetic, Gu Xiaobei saw that his faint eyes were like wolves, and almost sparks were bursting out. She was really scared, so naturally she didn't dare to stay with him, took out the bowl and washed it, and then sat on the steps of the door.

The moonlight shone on the mountainside, and in the woods, the shadows of the trees swayed, and the occasional night bird chirping in the mountains in the distance.

There is no lighting facility here, Gu Xiaobei suddenly remembered the lonely tomb behind the house, and suddenly felt that everything in the dark night was like a monster with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, which would run out and devour itself at any time. She didn't know why she had such a terrible strange thought in her heart, and she couldn't help but shudder in her heart, and turned around and ran into the house.

Although she was also afraid of Li Haonan, it was safer to stay by his side than the unknown fear outside.

Although Li Haonan's high fever subsided, the cold was not good, and he lay on the bed groggily, leaving Gu Xiaobei to sit beside him.

Gu Xiaobei looked at the moonlight outside the window, bored, and couldn't help humming: "The moon is bright and the wind is quiet, the leaves are shading the windows, and the crickets are called Zheng Zheng, just like the sound of the strings, the sound of the piano is soft, the tune is beautiful, the cradle swings gently, the mother's baby closes her eyes, and sleeps the one who sleeps in a dream......

Li Haonan, who was in a daze, was amused at first when he heard her humming a small tune, he was a big man, and he was being sung this kind of minor tune by his side! Hearing that it was a cradle and a mother again, the anger came up again, and he roared in a dumb voice: "Gu Qingbei, shut up!" Believe it or not, I'll pinch you to death! Because of the fever, his originally sharp speech slowed down, and he didn't seem so scary, a little lazy.

Gu Xiaobei was taken aback, why did he sing a lullaby to him, he must have been hooked by the sick Li Haonan who belonged to the mother's love in his body, which belonged to women, he was unprecedentedly weak, which made her feel that he was just an ordinary person, so she was also a little annoyed and angry: "Who sang it to you, I sang and played it myself, can't I?" ”

Li Haonan snorted low and ignored her.

Gu Xiaobei also closed his mouth in amusement.

When Li Haonan slept until midnight, he was woken up by thirst, and when he turned his head to one side, he saw Gu Xiaobei lying on the edge of the bed in front of him and falling asleep, with thick black eyelashes, as if two pairs of butterfly wings were slightly closed, and there was a faint black pot ash on his face, I don't know what I dreamed of, with a childish smile on the corner of his mouth.

He smiled unconsciously, seeing a bowl of water at the head of the bed, he knew that Gu Xiaobei must have prepared it for himself, so he took it up and drank it, feeling a lot more comfortable.

He rarely had a cold and fever since he was a child, and even if he had occasionally, he relied on his good physical fitness, youth and vigor, and just slept well. But I didn't expect this cold to come menacingly, and I almost folded here.

Seeing that Gu Xiaobei was sleeping in an uncomfortable position, he reached out and gently carried her to the bed, hugged her in his arms, smelled the little sweetness in her breath, closed his eyes, and fell asleep again satisfied.

When Gu Xiaobei woke up the next day, it was already full of sunshine, and seeing that there was no one around, she couldn't help but be surprised, could it be that Li Haonan had kept herself here and stole away!

Thinking of this, she sat up like a Barbie doll with a timer, and ran out barefoot.

As soon as she went out, she smelled the smell of soup and overflowed with fragrance, she followed the fragrance to find the kitchen, and just walked to the door, she was stunned!

The indifferent and tyrannical Li Haonan was actually busy in front of the stove...... This is even more astonishing than the election of a black man to the presidency of the United States.

A casserole was boiling on the stove, and the fragrance wafted from somewhere, and he was standing next to him, putting the soup in his hand in the pot, looking very focused.

Gu Xiaobei felt that Li Haonan like this was very pleasing to the eye - the usual Li Haonan was too well-dressed, too calm, too hidden, and too indifferent, as if Mount Tai would not frown when he collapsed in front of him, that was really terrifying!

Li Haonan heard the movement and suddenly turned around. He saw Gu Xiaobei standing there against the morning light, his casual and lazy curls spread out on his shoulders, his face was confused and ignorant after he had just woken up, standing barefoot on the black wooden ground, revealing a pair of bare and dazzling feet, and his ankles were snow-white and round, like the most delicate ivory, and suddenly felt that there was an indescribable emotion, and his mood suddenly became very bad, and his gaze at her became more of a kind of indifference.

Gu Xiaobei was a little embarrassed, standing there unable to advance or retreat.

"Go put your shoes on!" Li Haonan's voice was cold.

Gu Xiaobei hurriedly lowered her head and ran back to the house to put on her shoes, she knew that the devil who did all kinds of evil in the past had been resurrected again.

Looking at the fragrant casserole noodles in front of him, "This, this bowl of noodles is for me to eat!" Gu Xiaobei pointed to his nose uncertainly.

"For the dogs!" Li Haonan saw her staring at him with big black eyes, looking very uncertain, and he didn't feel funny.

Gu Xiaobei looked at Li Haonan angrily, seeing that he had already lowered his head and ate the noodles in front of him, knowing that he was scolding him, he still picked up the chopsticks very untemperately and began to eat them slowly.

Anyway, there are a lot of things that I have to lose face in front of Li Haonan, and I don't care about this time anymore! Dogs are dogs, and he really hasn't treated himself as a human being.

Not to mention, Li Haonan's pho is really super delicious, smooth and delicious, and the soup is fragrant, Gu Xiaobei was very flattered to eat, "The pho you made is so delicious, these things you found there, I knew there this thing was here, I didn't have to get rice yesterday!" ”

Li Haonan seemed to hate her very much, and ignored what she said.

Gu Xiaobei was used to Li Haonan's hot and cold, he was really hungry, and his eyebrows danced, "You can really go and open a shop that sells pho!" After finishing speaking, she felt that she was really an idiot, how could Li Haonan, who was so rich that he was rival the country, go to open a shop to sell pho.

Li Haonan snorted coldly, "Yesterday you made me porridge, and now that we are clear, I don't owe you a favor!" ”

Hearing Li Haonan's words, Gu Xiaobei's speed slowed down, and he stared at Li Haonan with big black and white eyes for a while, like a child who has been wronged, and he couldn't help crying with a 'wow' anymore.

Li Haonan hates women crying the most on weekdays, but from the first time she saw Gu Xiaobei, she always cried in front of herself, she still had some scruples at first, she always endured it, and tears rarely fell - except for some specific times.

But recently, she has become even more violent, crying like a child every time.

Li Haonan licked blood with a knife in the middle of his life, and after countless dangerous changes, he could calmly resolve them one by one at the moment of life and death, he is such a strong person, what kind of scene has he not experienced, what kind of person has not dealt with it!

But now Gu Xiaobei is crying like a child, which really makes him feel at a loss.

"Don't cry, what are you crying about!" He couldn't help but shout angrily.

Gu Xiaobei cried and sobbed.

Li Haonan was already upset by her crying, and her tone softened a little: "Why are you crying for no reason?" ”

Gu Xiaobei raised his face, there were tears on his face as white as jade, and he looked even more moving, "What's wrong?" I'm just crying! I knew you weren't so kind, cook for me, it turns out that this is the last breakfast! I'm going to die, and I'm not allowed to cry! ”

Li Haonan frowned, stretched out his hand to stroke his extremely short sideburns, he is not the kind of man who is tender and poetic, he has no talent for comforting women, especially for this kind of little girl who seems to be afraid of him, he is even more inexperienced, glared at her, and said fiercely: "Idiot! Who said I was going to kill you! ”

"You, you really don't kill me?"

"If you dare to cry again, I will strangle you immediately!"

Gu Xiaobei saw that it was a false alarm, and when she looked up and saw Li Haonan looking at her with a stinky face, she couldn't help but make a grimace at him, and stuck out her tongue mischievously, her girlish face was childish, and her crying eyes were as bright as water, sparkling, and intoxicating.

Li Haonan saw that there were still tears on her face, and at this moment he was smiling like spring, like a child, and glared at her again.

After dinner, Gu Xiaobei saw Li Haonan go to the backyard again and stand silently in front of his mother's grave. This time she learned smartly, just hiding behind the door and secretly looking at Li Haonan.

"Come here!" Li Haonan didn't reply, and scolded in disgust.

But Gu Xiaobei didn't dare to resist in the slightest under his authority, and walked over step by step.

"Get down on your knees and kowtow to my mother." Li Haonan's voice suddenly became gentle again.

Gu Xiaobei didn't dare to resist, he knelt down honestly and kowtowed firmly.

At this time, Li Haonan also knelt down, next to her, and solemnly kowtowed to her mother's grave three times.
