After a few days, the gauze on Du Xiaoxian's head was removed and replaced with a small band-aid, and after another two days, the band-aid was also removed, revealing a shallow crescent-shaped scar, which was covered by scattered broken hair on the forehead, and it couldn't be found if you didn't look carefully.

That night, Gu Nianbin called Du Xiaoxian into the room and told her that from tomorrow, she would go to school.

Du Xiaoxian had already forgotten about this matter, and suddenly heard Gu Nianbin mention it, he was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Young Master, do you really want to send me to study?" ”

"Really." Gu Nianbin looked at her there, his thin body seemed to tremble, and he beckoned to her: "Come and sit down and talk." ”

Du Xiaoxian walked over slowly, sitting in the corner of the sofa emptyly, the light of a downlight was shining on her, and her small body was like a child in the light and shadow.

"You're still young, learning more things will be good for you in the future," Gu Nianbin looked at her, "Are you willing?" ”

"I ......" this thing is beyond the scope of what she can bear, she doesn't know how to answer, promise? Grandma hopes that she can read more books, and if she agrees, Grandma should be happy in heaven. But why did she say yes? Just because of the broken skin on the head and a little blood? She couldn't do that. For no reason, she could not receive this favor.

Gu Nianbin expected her to shake her head, she was too simple, and it was easy for people to guess her thoughts, but he still asked, "Why?" ”

Grandma said...... Reactive power is not punished. The little girl glanced at him secretly and whispered.

Gu Nianbin stroked his forehead and wanted to laugh, he even guessed this. When her grandmother died, Du Xiaoxian was only six years old, and it was really difficult for a five or six-year-old child to remember these warning words in his heart, "Bring me a bottle of water," he leaned back on the sofa and ordered her.

Du Xiaoxian was sitting there awkwardly, but when she heard that she was asked to do something, she immediately jumped up, took a bottle of water out of the cabinet with her hands and feet, unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to Gu Nianbin.

Gu Nianbin took it and said, "Take another bottle of ......" Du Xiaoxian turned around and left, but heard Gu Nianbin say behind him: "Give yourself a drink." ”

Du Xiaoxian's footsteps froze, she paused, she was reluctant to drink the bottle of water she gave last time, and left half a bottle under the bed, but Lanzhi threw it away when she cleaned up the house, and she felt distressed for a long time. Now give her a drink again, isn't that...... Is it ruined again?

"What are you doing, let's go." Gu Nianbin urged her.

Du Xiaoxian bit her lip and turned to look at him: "Young master, I can't drink this water." ”

Gu Nianbin frowned slightly, and deliberately teased her: "Poisonous? ”

"No, no," Du Xiaoxian waved his hand hurriedly, how could the young master's water be poisonous!

"Not clean?"

Du Xiaoxian continued to shake his head.

"That's ...... Doesn't taste good? ”

"It's delicious!" Du Xiaoxian frowned, looked at the water in Gu Nianbin's hand, and suddenly said, "Young master, you drink it first, and then give it to me if you can't finish it, so that it won't be wasted." ”

Gu Nianbin was stunned, he never thought that she would say such a thing. Drink what he's left of! In his concept, only close people can do this, right? But Du Xiaoxian definitely didn't mean that, looking at those eyes that were as clear as water, he lost his voice and laughed, a trace of inexplicable emotion flashed in his heart, he opened the bottle cap and took a sip, and then handed it to her: "I've drunk it, you can drink it." ”

Du Xiaoxian was still a little hesitant: "Don't you want the young master?" ”

"No, give it to you." Gu Nianbin stretched out his hand to her again, and seeing that Du Xiaoxian looked a little scared, he said, "Do you want me to keep holding it like this?" ”

Of course Du Xiaoxian didn't dare, so she quickly took it, and under Gu Nianbin's gaze, she leaned her neck and drank a sip of mineral water that was precious to her.

"Du Xiaoxian" Gu Nianbin suddenly called her very formally.

"Yes, young master." Du Xiaoxian instinctively bowed his head and bent down in response.

Gu Nianbin found a problem, Du Xiaoxian is servile, she just came to help a maid, but it seems that she has sold herself to his family, obedient, obedient, loyal, and not ordinary, so she feels that it is natural to drink the rest of his water.

He got up and pulled her over and sat down, but she moved uneasily and sat on the edge of the sofa.

Seeing her look so honestly frightened, Gu Nianbin wanted to talk to her about democracy, human rights, equality or something, but after thinking about it, she couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Xiaoxian," he pondered for a moment and said, "You've been here for more than half a month, and you're doing very well." The old lady and Xiao Bo think that you are very good, serious and diligent, and we need people like you. So we discussed it and decided to give you an extra job, would you accept it? ”

Du Xiaoxian straightened her small chest, and her eyes began to light up again, "I can accept it, I have the strength and can do a lot of things." ”

"It doesn't take much effort to do this, but it needs a serious and meticulous person like you to do it," Gu Nianbin said: "I need a special assistant to help me deal with some paperwork matters, can you help me?" ”

"When...... Correct. Du Xiaoxian's tone was not very sure, the young master asked her to do something, and she did not hesitate, but what did the special assistant do? She doesn't know!

was about to ask, but saw Gu Nianbin casually pick up the bottle of water she had drunk, twisted the lid and poured it into her mouth.

"Young Master......" she exclaimed in surprise and looked at Gu Nianbin with round eyes.

"What?" Gu Nianbin looked inexplicable.

I guess the young master forgot, she is a little entangled, should she take this water away?

"You want water?" Seeing that she had been looking at the water in her hand, Gu Nianbin handed her the bottle.

Du Xiaoxian's face was a little red, she took the water and didn't drink it, put it aside and said, "Young master, what does the special assistant do?" I...... I won't. ”

"It's just to help me organize the documents, organize the documents or something, it's not difficult, I think you can do it."

Du Xiaoxian nodded, she didn't understand anything except a handful of strength, for fear that her employer would think she was useless and didn't want her. Now it's good, not only praise her for being serious and diligent, but also assign her more work. For her, there is nothing better than this, and it is still to help the young master do things, and she can't ask for it.

He could see that she was delighted, as if there was a starlight floating in his eyes, which made him have a moment of confusion, coughed, and said: "Before you officially take office, you have to have a small training, that's why I want to send you to study, if you don't recognize some words, or don't understand the meaning, the document is misclassified, it will bring trouble to my work, do you understand?" ”

Hearing Gu Nianbin say this, Du Xiaoxian hesitated a little again, she can recognize words, can read books and newspapers, but the young master's requirements are obviously not just to be able to read and write, she is so stupid, can she learn?

Gu Nianbin saw her hesitation and said, "Of course, this job can be done by many people, but it is not easy to find someone who can be relied on, Xiaoxian, can I trust you?" ”

"Absolutely." Du Xiaoxian has nothing to hesitate about, since the young master trusts her so much, no matter how hard it is, she will do things well and live up to the young master's trust in her.

"Okay, you take that paper bag away, and inside is the school uniform. Put on your uniform early tomorrow morning, and I'll take you to school. Gu Nianbin pointed to the table on the side.

Du Xiaoxian took the paper bag in his hand and opened it to see, and there were indeed two sets of new clothes inside, a burgundy blouse and a red and black plaid skirt. Du Xiaoxian looked at the short skirt and began to frown, she had never worn a skirt that showed her knees, and she didn't even wear a skirt much, there was only a hemp pleated skirt that was long to her bare feet in her luggage, which was changed by her grandmother when she was six years old, and she dragged her sick body to change her own skirt, and she couldn't wear it for a long time, but she was reluctant to throw it away, and she kept carrying it with her when she came out this time, which was a thought.

"Any questions?" Gu Nianbin asked her.

"This skirt," Du Xiaoxian said embarrassedly, "it's a little short." ”

"Go to the bathroom and change it to see if it's really a little short."

Du Xiaoxian obediently went to the bathroom with a paper bag, stayed in it for a long time, looked at his white legs, and didn't dare to go out. Gu Nianbin waited a little impatiently, and walked over and knocked on the door, "Xiaoxian, are you okay?" ”

Du Xiaoxian pulled her skirt down hard, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito: "Okay, okay." ”

Gu Nianbin twisted the door open, and saw Du Xiaoxian standing there with his hands pulling at the hem of his skirt, his face flushed, looking like he was eager to drill into the cracks.

Her legs were very white, like glutinous rice cakes in autumn, delicate and smooth/tender, Gu Nianbin suddenly felt that the plaid skirt was indeed a little short.

"If you don't like it, you don't have to wear it," Gu Nianbin said: "It's just a piece of clothing, no one will mind this." ”

Du Xiaoxian was still blushing, lowered his eyes and said, "The clothes are very beautiful, it's my ......"

Gu Nianbin took her hand away from the hem of her skirt and pulled her around, her voice was very low: "You are also beautiful." ”

Du Xiaoxian's head was lower, her face was so red that she seemed to be burning, her heart was pounding, and the young master praised her for being beautiful again, he ...... I really didn't have bad intentions towards her, did I......

Du Xiaoxian looked down at his feet, and also saw Gu Nianbin's feet standing opposite him, his feet were very large, wearing gray soft-soled slippers, standing there quietly without speaking.

The atmosphere was a little inexplicably awkward for a while. Gu Nianbin coughed and said, "Okay, you go back early to rest, and I'll send you to school early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes, young master," Du Xiaoxian hugged his clothes and ran out of the door almost in a panic.

Seeing the little girl running out of the door in a panic, Gu Nianbin stood at the door of the bathroom and chuckled silently. He lit a cigarette and sat down on the sofa again, and glanced at the bottle of water, Du Xiaoxian took a sip, and he continued to drink it, in fact, he really forgot, seeing her surprised expression, he remembered that she had already drunk this water.

He is a person with a little cleanliness fetish, and although he knows about it afterwards, he does not feel disgusting, but a strange feeling that cannot be said. He took the water, lifted the lid and took another sip, the feeling came again, flashed, so fast that he couldn't grasp it at all, he looked at the bottle of water for a long time, and suddenly his temples jumped, as if he had suddenly woken up, and turned his gaze to the cigarette between his fingers, and the green smoke curled up, spreading out in mid-air, churning, twisting, changing......

Gu Nianbin suddenly felt a little uneasy......
