Grow up slowly with you

July arrives, and the year is already halfway over.

Love and warmth are always in the world.

……

It’s midday, Saturday, a sunny day, inside the Imperial Siyuan Cemetery.

At this time, in front of two stone tablets in the cemetery, a little girl and a man kneeling straight on one knee were sitting cross-legged.

……

"Mom and dad, Nono is here to see you again."

"Nono has grown taller again this year, and his face has become fleshy."

"And this year's long-distance running, Nono can run nearly one kilometer longer."

"Recently, Nono was fighting with others. Ah, no, when he was practicing mixed martial arts with others, he was even better than before."

"Now Nono can single-handedly throw his conscript brothers over his shoulder."

"Nono feels that he is awesome now."

Gu Yunnuo proudly told the two tablets in front of him, his expression full of pride.

……

"And mom, Nono will tell you quietly."

"In May of this year, Nono really grew up."

"Brother even bought a small cake for Nono to celebrate."

These words were spoken by Gu Yunnuo, who put his hand to his mouth and attached himself to the photo of Ye Yajing on the stele.

……

Ever since Gu Weiguo and Ye Yajing were killed, Luo Yunrui would take Gu Yunnuo to Siyuan Cemetery every year on this day.

Gu Yunnuo will also spend this day telling his parents about his growth and progress during that time.

Gu Weiguo and Ye Yajing on the stele seemed to really hear what Gu Yunnuo said.

Smiling lovingly.

……

Imperial Big Mall.

In the past, on this day every year, Luo Yunrui would take Gu Yunnuo to the mall after leaving Siyuan Cemetery.

Buy her peach-flavored ice cream balls.

He wanted her to feel better and be happier every year on this day.

……

However, when a round ice cream ball appeared in front of Gu Yunnuo,

Along with it, came two wooden spoons.

Um? How could it be two spoons?

Doesn’t my brother like desserts?

When Gu Yunnuo was confused, she saw her brother beside her pick up one of the spoons.

In front of Gu Yunnuo, he quickly scooped up a large scoop of ice cream balls and put it into his mouth.

Gu Yunnuo:? ! ! !

"Nono is about to get her period, so we can't eat so much cold food."

"Brother, help you share some of the burden."

Luo Yunrui's confident tone sounded.

……

"Brother, at this moment, the words you say are colder than the few remaining ice cream balls I hold in my hands, woo woo woo~"

Want to cry! Her happiness today has shrunk!

……

July is always a time of frequent thunderstorms.

Room 5, Building 1601, Yijingshenghui.

After coaxing the little girl to sleep, Luo Yunrui also got up and returned to the master bedroom and fell asleep.

……

Suddenly, a golden light flashed across the sky.

Thunder rolls from the sky, breaking the tranquility of the night.

Gu Yunnuo woke up from his sleep.

The dim night light beside the bed failed to dispel the darkness, and instead made it look even more desolate.

……

After waking up, I found myself in an unaccompanied situation and in bad weather.

A strong feeling of loneliness and helplessness suddenly hit my heart.

It was a hot summer day, but now Gu Yunnuo couldn't help but shiver with cold.

She couldn't help but slowly curl up her body, trying to give herself a little warmth.

Continuous tears fell from the corners of his closed eyes.

He reached up and covered his mouth, controlling the sobs from escaping from his mouth.

……

My brother must have fallen asleep. I can't disturb him.

However, I miss my parents and my brother so much.

……

"Nono, don't be afraid, brother is here."

Just when the wind started blowing outside the window, Luo Yunrui got up and rushed to the little girl's room to stand in front of the door.

The little girl is afraid of the dark and thunder, and Luo Yunrui knows that.

What's more, today is the death anniversary of her parents.

The little girl must be feeling very sad.

……

When Luo Yunrui rushed to the door of Gu Yunnuo's room, the little girl was still sleeping peacefully.

Therefore, Luo Yunrui did not immediately go in to disturb him.

Until I saw the little girl under the quilt with her back to the door of the room changing from lying on her side with her knees slightly bent to a curled up ball,

Luo Yunrui knew that his little girl was still awakened.

Quickly approaching the little girl's bed, Luo Yunrui stretched out his hand and gently put it on Gu Yunnuo's arm.

Soothingly.

……

These four words, "Brother is here", have a magical power that makes people want to rely on them.

The rich ebony scent that belongs exclusively to my brother,

It also brings a reassuring sense of solidity.

……

"Brother, can you give Nono a hug?"

"Nono is scared, please don't leave Nono behind, okay?"

Hearing his brother's deep and gentle voice, Gu Yunnuo could no longer control his emotions.

He turned around and stretched out his arms in the direction of his brother.

The long-suppressed sobs turned into howls.

Gu Yunnuo's words were full of prayers.

……

"Brother is here, how could he be willing to leave Nuonuo behind?"

"Brother is always here."

"Don't be afraid, hug me brother."

Get rid of your "avoidance of suspicion" and your "difference between men and women".

At this time, Luo Yunrui just wanted to hold the tearful person in front of him tightly into his arms and comfort her carefully.

……

"Nono, stop crying. Brother is holding you."

"Go on to sleep, my brother is with you."

Luo Yunrui took the wet towel aside and gently wiped the tears on Gu Yunnuo's face.

His broad palm gently patted the little girl in front of him.

……

Luo Yunrui's embrace was warm and generous.

It seems to be full of powerful strength and full of security.

With the comfort of his brother, Gu Yunnuo's excitement began to ease.

The crying subsided and I gradually fell asleep again.

After confirming that the little girl in front of him was asleep, Luo Yunrui slowly put her back on the bed.

He gently covered her with the quilt.

……

Luo Yunrui did not get up and leave, but brought an office chair.

Just sitting next to Gu Yunnuo's bed, holding her little hand.

Stay in the same position all night long.

Just after every flash of lightning,

Only then did Luo Yunrui stand up and reach out to cover Gu Yunnuo's ears.

Prevent her from being frightened by the ensuing thunder.

……

The thunderstorm night did not change because of Luo Yunrui's arrival.

The night is still so long.

But now we have each other around us,

It's enough to feel at ease.
