Chapter III
Later, Mu Qingjue and his parents went to Gu's house to visit Gu Nuanyang several times, her illness was violent, the original fleshy baby was gone, her little face was pale, and she nested in her mother's arms.
Perhaps seeing Mu Qingjue's sadness and self-blame, Gu Nuanyang reached out and tugged at the corner of Mu Qingjue's clothes and comforted her: "I'm fine, I'll be fine soon, wait a minute, I'll go to play with my little uncle, is it okay?" β
Mu Qingjue nodded fiercely: "Okay, I'll wait for you to get better." β
After about ten days of back-and-forth, Gu Nuanyang fully recovered, and was detained by his parents at home for a month, and finally raised some meat before he was allowed to go out, but he was always followed by the maid.
When he arrived at Mu's house, Gu Nuanyang hung on Mu Qingjue's body with his hands and feet, and complained softly: "My mother doesn't let me go out, eat nutritious meals and drink medicinal food, and I feel so uncomfortable drinking." β
Mu Qingjue held her to sit on the sofa, and the maid put the snacks and candies prepared in advance on the coffee table, Gu Nuanyang glanced at it, and continued to nest in Mu Qingjue's arms and coquettishly: "I want to eat ice cream." β
"No, you can't." Mu Qingjue refused without hesitation, if he fell ill because he ate ice cream here, the Gu family would really blacklist him.
Gu Nuanyang pouted, looking at Mu Qingjue pitifully, Mu Qingjue couldn't see her pretending to be pitiful, but he didn't mean to compromise, pinching her pigtails and discussing: "Shall I take you to the amusement park to play?" β
Knowing that the ice cream would definitely not be eaten, Gu Nuanyang nodded reluctantly: "Okay." β
The two went to the largest playground in the city together, Gu Nuanyang bought two pink rabbit ear headbands in the jewelry store, one was worn on his head, and the other was wrapped around Mu Qingjue and also put on his head.
Mu Qingjue did not allow Gu Nuanyang to play with dangerous facilities, and took her on a merry-go-round, a Ferris wheel, and a steam train around the entire amusement park.
went to the shopping gallery to buy toys, went to the delicious market to eat snacks, and at the end of the game, Gu Nuanyang did not eat the ice cream he wanted.
As soon as the scene turned, Gu Nuanyang saw her six-year-old self lying in a ward full of the smell of disinfectant water, and that year, she was kidnapped by her uncle's enemy to threaten the Gu family, and she would die for life.
Xu Jinghong's eyes were red and swollen, and his expression was haggard, and he stood by the bedside, not leaving an inch.
Mu Qingjue came to visit her with his parents, and the young man, who had always been arrogant and calm, hugged her and cried bitterly, trembling all over, and finally it was she, the kidnapped person, who comforted him with a soft voice and told him that the bad guy had been arrested.
This kidnapping made Gu Nuanyang very frightened, he couldn't sleep well every night, and often woke up crying in the middle of the night, Mu Qingjue stayed by the bedside day and night, no matter who persuaded him, it was useless.
The scene turned again, Gu Nuanyang saw his eight-year-old self wearing a beautiful princess dress to the airport to see off Mu Qingjue, who was going to study abroad, and solemnly gave his favorite rabbit carved from crystal stone to Mu Qingjue as a souvenir.
Mu Qingjue hugged her and whispered: "I'll treat the little rabbit as a token of love from you, don't marry another boy again, and wait for me to come back." β
Gu Nuanyang had long forgotten his fairy tales, but he still nodded seriously: "Well, I'll wait for you to come back." A stamp-like "pop" kissed Mu Qingjue on the cheek.
Mu Qingjue went abroad, Gu Nuanyang stayed in China, and later Gu Nuanyang went to Italy for further study, Mu Qingjue returned to China to establish a company, far away from the ocean, they were busy, but they met frequently, and Mu Qingjue took the initiative to come to see her.
The scene changed, Gu Nuanyang dreamed of a scene in the car today, Mu Qingjue knelt at her feet on one knee, his hand grasped her ankle, and what he felt from his skin was just the right amount of warmth, just like his person, gentle and noble.
Gu Nuanyang unconsciously turned over, fell off the sofa unexpectedly, made a muffled sound, woke up from the dream, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the crystal chandelier hanging down from the second floor, reflecting a brilliant brilliance.
Min Yue, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, holding a laptop to handle affairs, was scared out of a cold sweat by Gu Nuanyang, and hurriedly walked over to help Gu Nuanyang, and asked with concern: "How is it?" Did you fall? β
Min Yue was carefully selected by Old Man Gu from the children of his cronies and placed by Gu Nuanyang's side, not only Gu Nuanyang's agent but also her bodyguard and life housekeeper, responsible for handling all matters of Gu Nuanyang, this time because of temporary affairs, he did not follow Gu Nuanyang's side.
There was a thick cashmere carpet on the ground, and the sofa was low, so it didn't hurt to fall at all, Gu Nuanyang shook his head: "I'm fine." He sat on the carpet and rested his head lazily on the sofa cushion, his eyes slightly squinted, as if he hadn't woken up.
Min Yue knew that Gu Nuanyang had a slight sense of getting up, and seeing that she squinted her eyes and was silent, she silently poured a cup of warm water and put it on the coffee table in front of her, and went back to the sofa to work.
After sitting for three or five minutes, Gu Nuanyang's eyes returned to clarity, and his white fingertips flicked the ancient jade Buddha beads on his wrist.
This Buddha bead was removed by Mu Qingjue from the lotus chan, and he originally wanted to give her the entire string of lotus chan, but Xu Jinghong refused, so he took one and gave it to her.
After 12 years, Gu Nuanyang still clearly remembers that in the ward full of the smell of disinfectant water, the young Mu Qingjue helped her put on the Buddha beads, held her hand, put his forehead against the back of her hand, and said gently and solemnly: "I will do more good deeds in the future, believe in God and Buddha, and only ask you to be safe and happy for the rest of your life, and there will be no more disasters." β
Four years after the incident, she learned that in the more than ten hours since she was kidnapped, martial law was imposed in the whole city, and the whole person of Mu Qingjue collapsed in a hurry.
Materialism wears Buddha beads only because of the elders' minds, in the cold winter wax moon, facing the goose feathers and heavy snow barefoot step by step kowtow, all the way to the mountain top of the listening temple to pray that she is safe and sound.
Gu Nuanyang picked up the water cup on the coffee table and took a sip of the white water at just the right temperature in the palm of her hand, she had a secret hidden deep in her heart, a secret that had been hidden for many years, and now she was about to be unable to hide it.
Suddenly, I remembered the scene when she was protected by Mu Qingjue in the car, his palm was on her waist and she shook it, and there was the chaotic heartbeat.
Thinking of a certain possibility, something seemed to sprout in Gu Nuanyang's heart and blossomed.
The next day, Gu Nuanyang was invited to Vienna to participate in the opening ceremony of the exhibition of the seniors of the same department, Min Yue accompanied him, and on the way to the airport, Min Yue received a phone call.
After hanging up the phone, Min Yue said to Gu Nuanyang: "The artistic director of TF personally called, saying that their foreign spokesperson had inappropriate language, and he came to apologize. β
Gu Nuanyang's fingers played with the backpack ornament that Mu Qingjue bought for her, a cute two-color ragdoll cat, and replied to Min Yue: "TF is testing my meaning, but it is also teachable to apologize so quickly." β
Min Yue chuckled lightly and continued: "The news of international newspapers and magazines has been published, and the matter of your return to China to work for the Chinese Artists Association has caused an uproar in the art world. β
Gu Nuanyang replied disappreciatively: "I never said that I would stay abroad to develop. β
As he spoke, he couldn't help frowning and complained: "The foreign food is too unpalatable, just a few things back and forth, where is my Great China delicious, a potato can make more than a dozen patterns." β
Min Yue smiled dumbly, and couldn't help but think that those people in the foreign art world would feel if they knew that part of the reason why the internationally famous teacher Yun Shu returned to China for development was that they disliked the unpalatable food abroad.
Flipping through the itinerary, Min Yue dutifully reminded Gu Nuanyang and said: "Vienna is the last trip abroad, and I have screened out two invitations in China, both of which are after your coming-of-age ceremony, you need to make your own decision, there is still a week left before the domestic college entrance examination, we have to go back on time." β
Gu Nuanyang nodded and replied, "Yes, I don't have any personal matters here, you look at the time to book a return ticket." β
After finishing the business, Min Yue leaned on the back of the chair weakly and said to Gu Nuanyang: "I really want to accompany you abroad until I am old, I haven't gone back yet, my mother is looking for a blind date for me." β
Gu Nuanyang smiled and said to Min Yue seriously: "You are 25 years old this year, you can indeed find a man to talk about a sweet love and enjoy the nourishment of love." β
Min Yue twitched the corners of her mouth, looked back at Nuan Yang angrily and said: "My mother's marriage urging is forgotten, what kind of heart do you have for a minor?" β
Minor Gu Nuanyang: "......" Okay, she made a false report at the age of 18, in fact, she still has two months to become a real adult, a proper minor.
Every airline has a special guest list, Gu Nuanyang is one of the list, as soon as the two entered the airport, a special staff member came to guide the service, and took Gu Nuanyang to the VIP lounge to rest with a sweet smile.
Min Yue went to check in with the staff, Gu Nuanyang found a vacant seat by the window and sat down, tossing the flamingo doll in his arms in every boring way, tying his legs together for a while, and letting it stand alone for a while, the more fun he had.
There was a chuckle from the opposite side, Gu Nuanyang looked for prestige, and the man sat diagonally opposite her, with a three-piece silver-gray handmade suit on his body that compromised and fitted, with three-dimensional facial features, dusty temperament, and stones like jade.
Seeing Gu Nuanyang looking over and realizing his faux pas, the man sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, I just think it's cute, and there is no malice."
Gu Nuanyang knew that his behavior just now was relatively naΓ―ve, so he touched his nose with some embarrassment, and replied politely: "See me." He untied the flamingo's legs, held them in his arms honestly, and pulled out a brick-thick French book from his backpack
The book flipped through and tried to ease the embarrassment.
Before the original document had flipped through two pages, Min Yue, who had gone to check it in, came back, reached out and took the original document in Gu Nuanyang's hand and stuffed it back into her backpack, and stuffed the milk tea into her hand, "Your eyes need to rest." β
Gu Nuanyang took a sip of fragrant milk tea, and replied to Min Yue very obediently: "Got it." "I slandered in my heart: she was playing with the flamingo just now, and she was made fun of, although it was kind.
