Chapter 4: Ten Years of Cohabitation (Part I)
When Hua Xin'er woke up, there was a two-story reddish-brown garden-style villa in front of her, with a large yard at the door of the cottage and flowers and vines in the courtyard. The windowsills of each room are also filled with small flower pots, and the exterior walls of the villa are covered with wall-climbing grass and ivy, making it look like a castle standing among flowers and plants from a distance.
Although this small villa is not as grand as the big house at home, Hua Xin'er likes it very much at first sight.
She took off the lace straw hat on her head, ran out into the garden, held the hem of her skirt with both hands and began to spin in circles, and shouted loudly: "Brother Hongxin, this place is so beautiful." ”
Gu Hongxin looked at Xin'er dancing among the flowers, and also felt a little relieved, and finally made this little person smile.
Although it was the first time I met her, when she was born, I knew that she was my future bride.
When his parents showed him her photo, they told him that he had married a baby. What age is it, and are you still marrying like the ancients? Gu Hongxin, who was only ten years old, simply couldn't accept his highly educated parents and made such a low-level mistake.
Although I know that I am not a child of an ordinary family, my future marriage must be the right one, and I can't fall in love with other people casually. But he was only ten years old, so was it appropriate to assign him a bride so early?
He was so angry that he wanted to shred the photo, but when he saw the round and cute baby in the photo, Gu Hongxin realized for the first time that the baby was also very cute. Then every once in a while, he would receive photos from his parents and some interesting facts about Hua Xin'er, and strangely enough, he was also interested in them.
He began to want to know about this cute little girl, and Gu Hongxin, who was still a teenager, couldn't say what kind of affection this was, maybe he wanted to treat her as his sister.
This kind of affection has always taken root in his heart, and it was only this time that Xin'er's family changed, and he felt that he had an obligation to protect her. I specially asked Daddy Mommy to beg the old lady to take care of the new child. Although there were some obstacles in the process, Xin'er finally came to his side.
"Let's go into the house together." Gu Hongxin took Xin'er's little hand and said.
Two middle-aged women in the house, dressed in servants' clothes, were waiting for their arrival. They were not at all curious about Hua Xin'er's arrival, took Gu Hong's newly-handed luggage, and told the young master to put away the bath water and eat after taking a bath. Another middle-aged woman wanted to take Hua Xin'er to help her bathe herself.
Hua Xin'er was so frightened that she hid behind Gu Hongxin, which made him laugh: "Let her come by herself, it's time to learn to be independent when she's so old." Then he introduced to Hua Xin'er, the two of them are, Wang Ma and Zhang Ma, who are responsible for taking care of their diet and daily life.
Following!
The new life really opens, and after breakfast, the school bus will come to pick up the new children to go to school. The school was arranged by Gu Hongxin before, just waiting for Hua Xin'er to come.
Gu Hongxin drove a sports car to school by himself, and he was already a sophomore in high school at this time. He has always lived in Milan, and his parents come to see him from China every once in a while.
In Milan, the common language used by people is Italian, but Hua Xin'er does not know it, so she can only communicate with everyone in English. There were a few particularly mischievous students in the class, and when they saw that Hua Xin'er was an oriental face and couldn't speak Italian, they wanted to play tricks on her. specially at the end of class, deliberately found an excuse to lure Hua Xin'er to a corner where no one was remote.
Leading the way was a blonde girl with her hands on her waist and reprimanding Hua Xin'er in Italian. Although she has been here for some time, in the face of the other party's roar, Hua Xin'er still doesn't quite understand what she is saying, but it can be judged from the other party's contemptuous and arrogant expression that the leading girl is extremely unfriendly.
reprimanded for a long time, and found that Hua Xin'er didn't respond, so he burst into a foul sentence angrily, and then changed to English and continued to accuse Hua Xin'er.
This time, Hua Xin'er understood, as if she was questioning her, why is she good with the boy named Jason, but she doesn't know who Jason is?
“I'm so
y I do
't k
ow", Hua Xin'er replied truthfully.
Obviously, the other party didn't buy her answer, and even angered the girl. The other classmates who surrounded the girl were also angry because of their boss, so they involved their anger on Hua Xin'er, and prepared to teach Hua Xin'er a lesson on campus.
"Stop." A boy's voice rang out.
"Jason, you, why are you here?" The girl, who was still angry just now, suddenly lowered her voice and withdrew the hand that was about to reach out to Hua Xin'er. Like a frightened bird, it suddenly showed a pitiful state.
Hua Xin'er glanced at the boy who helped him pick up the books that fell on the ground in the morning, and it turned out that his name was Jason. Although the teacher introduced the whole class, she was always alone and did not remember all the names of her classmates......
After returning home, Xin'er told Gu Hongxin about it, but for some reason, she didn't tell Gu Hongxin that she finally made good friends with a boy named Jason.
Gu Hongxin gently touched her little head: "It's common for conflicts between classmates to occur, you have to learn to deal with them, but you can't be unpleasant with your classmates." ”
"So what should I do?" Xin'er stared at him with two big clear and bright eyes.
"You can try to make friends with those girls, and once you become friends, there will be no more misunderstandings. But you have to remember that if you are bullied again, you have to tell the teacher, and you have to come back and tell me you know? “
"Hmm." Hua Xin'er nodded.
After dinner, the two of them snuggled up on the sofa and read a book together. Obviously, the sofa is very big and wide, but Hua Xin'er likes to curl up and nest in Gu Hongxin's arms to read, and the difference in height makes Hua Xin'er lean on his arms, which seems so natural. Xin'er couldn't help but ask him, "Brother, what kind of book are you reading?" “
"Shh Gu Hongxin stretched out his index finger and put it to his mouth, and said softly: "Don't talk when you read, be serious." “
Hua Xin'er stuck out her tongue and grimaced, continuing to look at the book in her hand. She felt so happy to be in the arms of Hongxin's brother, his arms were not only warm, but also had a faint and good smell, like a lullaby, and she fell asleep after a while.
Every day from then on, Hua Xin'er fell asleep in Gu Hongxin's arms, and then Gu Hongxin carried her to his pink bed.
Time passed day by day, and since Hua Xin'er came to Milan, she didn't mention the home in China again, as if the home in China had nothing to do with her.
In addition to school classes, Hua Xin'er also has to learn a lot of talents, Italian language, and some languages from other countries. Violin, dance, flower arrangement, taekwondo have become Hua Xin'er's daily life, and her daily life is full and happy.
Time flies, and Hua Xin'er is already twelve years old. At the age of twelve, she is already slim, and her body, which was a little baby fat when she was a child, has now become slim, and her height has reached Gu Hongxin's chest, and she can no longer read in his arms like she did when she was a child. But she still spends every night on the couch, leaning on his shoulder to read.
The difference is that now she doesn't fall asleep just looking at it, sometimes she deliberately pretends to be asleep, just waiting for Gu Hongxin to carry her back to the room like when she was a child.
But every time she pretended to be asleep, Gu Hongxin would wake her up and let her go back to her room to sleep by herself. She was very annoyed, but she was too embarrassed to open her mouth, and asked him to hug her like she had been when she was a child, because she was no longer the same figure as when she was a child.
