Chapter 834: Out of the Shadows
Little Aixi, who likes small animals, faces the birds and wants to go over and play with them. However, a stranger was standing next to the bird feeding with breadcrumbs, and the fear in her heart made her not want to come closer.
Seeing Xiao Aixi's struggle, He Chenxi continued to persuade, "Little Aixi, do you like small animals very much?" ”
Little Aixi nodded and agreed, "I do like small animals very much, and I would like to go over and play with them. Just ......"
Looking at the stranger on the side, Xiao Aixi's eyes were full of fear. She recalled the scene when she was in the mall with He Chenxi, surrounded by the media. The flashing lights kept flashing like a nightmare, and they kept appearing in her nightmares.
He Chenxi pointed to the stranger who was feeding, and whispered softly in Xiao Aixi's ear, "Little Aixi, you see what he is doing, he is feeding those birds." She must have loved little animals too, and the birds weren't afraid of her. ”
Xiao Aixi nodded, she didn't know what He Chenxi wanted to say, so she could only listen to her continue silently.
"People who small animals like can't be bad people, you must think the same way, right?"
Xiao Aixi couldn't help but be stunned, she really likes small animals, and she also thinks that people who like small animals will not be bad people. However, the fear in her heart made her not want to get closer, and she hesitated for a while.
Hearing He Chenxi's step-by-step inducement, Gu Shengze couldn't help but give her a thumbs up. He knew that He Chenxi's work had been almost done, and it was his turn to appear next.
Walking to Xiao Aixi's side, Gu Shengze reached out and gently rubbed the top of her head, "Little Aixi, do you remember when Dad went to see dolphins with you?" ”
Little Aixi nodded, for her, who likes small animals, that close encounter with dolphins is an experience she will never forget for the rest of her life.
A smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and Gu Shengze continued to persuade, "How about this time, Dad will accompany you to see the birds, I believe they must also want to be friends with you." ”
Under Gu Shengze's persuasion, Xiao Aixi's heart wavered. On the one hand, she wants to make contact with the birds, and on the other hand, she is worried about the strangers on the side.
"But I'm scared ......"
Gu Shengze took Xiao Aixi's little hand and said, "Do you believe Dad?" ”
Little Ai Xi nodded vigorously. Like most children, Dad was like a hero in her heart. No matter what kind of difficulties she encounters, as long as she needs it, Dad will fall from the sky and always stand by her side.
"Since you believe in Dad, then Dad promises you that no matter what happens, he will not let you be hurt at all." Gu Shengze's voice paused, and then said, "How about going over and having a look with my father?" ”
Under Gu Shengze's constant persuasion, Xiao Aixi finally overcame the fear in her heart and nodded vigorously.
He Chenxi breathed a sigh of relief, although there is still a long way to go before she fully recovers, but Xiao Aixi has overcome the first fear in her heart, and the next thing will be much simpler.
put Xiao Aixi out of his arms and handed her over to Gu Shengze. Gu Chenxi and Gu Shengze glanced at each other, and then walked alone to the stranger who was feeding.
Seeing He Chenxi leaving, Xiao Aixi's eyes subconsciously showed a touch of fear. But immediately after, Gu Shengze's big hand firmly held her small hand in the palm of his hand. The warmth that came from Gu Shengze's palm suddenly made her feel a lot more at ease.
"Dad, hug ......" Although Xiao Aixi overcame her fear, she still didn't want to leave the arms of her parents. Only hiding in their arms will make her feel safe.
Gu Shengze frowned slightly, only by letting Xiao Aixi walk over by herself could he really help her overcome her fear. Thinking of this, he shook his head and whispered in Xiao Aixi's ear, "Little Aixi, Dad will not leave you, he will always hold your hand." Well, you walk over on your own legs, or the birds will see it and laugh at you. ”
Gu Shengze's words played a role, Xiao Aixi really likes small animals too much, she nodded vigorously, and finally mustered up the courage to take the first step.
Gu Shengze has been following Xiao Aixi, accompanying her step by step to the bird.
The stranger who was feeding the bird was a big sister of the same age as He Chenxi, and she smiled at her when she saw Xiao Aixi coming.
"Little sister, do you like small animals too?"
A flash of fear flashed in Xiao Aixi's eyes, and he subconsciously wanted to hide behind Gu Shengze. But Gu Shengze shook his head from her and said softly, "Little Aixi, have you forgotten what your father taught you before?" What should I do when someone comes to say hello? ”
Xiao Ai Xi continued to hesitate in her heart, she saw the stranger's kind smile, and finally made up her mind, and nodded vigorously, "Little Ai Xi likes small animals very much and wants to be friends with them." ”
She walked up to little Aixi and handed her the bag with bread crumbs in her hand, "In that case, then I'll give you these crumbs." These birds love to eat, and I'm sure you'll be good friends with them. ”
Gu Shengze glanced at her gratefully, before He Chenxi came over first, he told her about Xiao Aixi's situation and asked for her help. After hearing about Xiao Aixi's situation, she also felt very pitiful, and agreed to help Xiao Aixi come out of the shadows without hesitation.
Taking the breadcrumbs from the girl's hand, Xiao Aixi thanked her with a red face. In a simple communication with the girl, she already felt that she had no ill will towards her, and she was no longer afraid in her heart.
Little Aixi fed the crumbs to the bird, and the girl chatted with Xiao Aixi all the time. Xiao Aixi, who was still a little unable to let go, quickly got acquainted with her, and the two of them talked a lot, as if they were good friends.
Once again, they thanked the girl, and He Chenxi and Gu Shengze took Xiao Aixi home. After this experience, Xiao Aixi has come out of the shadows a lot. She no longer excludes going out with He Chenxi, and she will not hide when she occasionally encounters strangers. However, because of the shadow of the last time, she still refused to go to crowded places.
Gu Shengze discussed with He Chenxi, and the treatment of Xiao Aixi so far can be said to be very successful. However, this alone is not enough, she must be able to fully return to her previous state.
After some discussion, the two made a decision that it was time to take little Aixi to a crowded place to help her completely exorcise the fear in her heart.
"Little Aixi, mom and dad are going out today, do you want to come along?" After lunch, He Chenxi decided to start the final steps.
Xiao Aixi was no longer reluctant to go out, and immediately nodded and agreed, "I want to go, I want to go!" Where are we going today, and are we going to go to the lake to play with the birds? ”
He Chenxi shook her head, she stared at Xiao Aixi's eyes tightly, and said, "Mom and Dad are going to the street, are you afraid?" ”
At the mention of going to the street, a trace of fear clearly flashed in Xiao Aixi's eyes.
At this time, Gu Shengze walked over, he squatted beside Xiao Aixi, and kept stroking her little head with his hand, "Little Aixi, have you forgotten what your father said?" Dad will protect you wherever you go, don't you trust Dad? ”
Xiao Aixi bit her lip hard, she stretched out her hand to hold Gu Shengze's hand, "Little Aixi believes in Dad!" As long as there is a father, little Aixi will definitely not be afraid! ”
Gu Shengze nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is the little Aixi that my father knows, go and clean up and go out with my parents." ”
After simple preparations, Xiao Aixi followed He Chenxi and Gu Shengze out of the house. When he came to the street and looked at the flow of people, Xiao Aixi's eyes showed a touch of fear. She reached out and held He Chenxi's hand tightly, "Mom, I'm afraid, I want to hug ......"
He Chenxi hesitated, and she held Xiao Aixi in her arms. Xiao Aixi, who hid in He Chenxi's arms, was obviously much more relaxed, she buried her head in her chest, trying not to look at the passers-by around her.
He Chenxi and Gu Shengze glanced at each other, it was not a way to go on like this, hiding in her arms, Xiao Aixi did not really overcome the fear in her heart.
At this time, they happened to pass by the marshmallow stall where they had eaten with little Ai Xi last time. He Chenxi gently patted Xiao Aixi's head with his hand, stretched out his hand and pointed to the marshmallow stall on the side, and said, "Little Aixi, do you want to buy marshmallows to eat?" ”
Hearing the marshmallow, little Aixi's eyes glowed. Ever since she had eaten it once before, she had been fascinated by the fluffy texture and sweet taste of the marshmallows.
He Chenxi pulled Gu Shengze's sleeve behind him and glanced at him. The two of them had a heart, and Gu Shengze immediately understood her consciousness.
"No! Small children can't eat what is on the street, it's not clean. Gu Shengze's face was solemn, and He Chenxi was not allowed to buy marshmallows for Xiao Aixi.
Xiao Aixi's desire to eat marshmallows has been hooked by He Chenxi, she pouted and sparkled at Gu Shengze.
Gu Shengze didn't soften because of this, he shook his head firmly, "No, unless Xiao Aixi grows up, you are not allowed to eat it." ”
He Chenxi looked helpless, gently rubbed Xiao Aixi's head, and said, "Then how can little Aixi be considered big?" ”
Gu Shengze made a thinking look and said slowly, "When she can buy it herself, it can prove that she has grown up." ”
He Chenxi showed a look of pity, and said to Xiao Aixi in his arms, "There is no way to do it." Dad doesn't let the kids eat marshmallows, only when you can buy them yourself. ”
Smelling the aroma wafting from the marshmallow stand, Xiao Aixi seemed to be able to feel the sweet smell. She stared at the marshmallow on the stall and bit her lip hard.
"Little Ai Xi has grown up and can buy marshmallows by herself!" As if having made up her mind, Xiao Aixi said solemnly.
