On the way back, Lin Xiao still felt heartbroken.

The image of Qianmei happily shopping in the supermarket with her big belly holding Gu Chengxiu's arm was unforgettable in his mind.

Qianmei's smile and protection for Gu Chengxiu were like countless sharp ice cones piercing his heart, making him unable to breathe due to the pain.

And the sound of Gu Ruoxi crying for her father lingered in her ears like a spell.

Thinking about how Gu Ruoxi had been clamoring to hold a funeral for Gu Chengxiu these days, he felt heartbroken for the child to have such a father.

The air in front of him seemed to become soft and fragile, as if if he took another deep breath, the world would collapse in an instant.

Back home.

Lin Xiao opened his phone and saw the screen full of Gu Ruoxi's WeChat messages, text messages, and missed calls.

"Lin Xiao, Mr. Lu said you are on a business trip. When will you be back?"

"Lin Xiao, are you coming back today? I don't know how to solve several problems."

"Lin Xiao, where did you go on business?"

"Lin Xiao, are you really on a business trip? Why don't you reply to me?"

"Lin Xiao, please be careful."

"Lin Xiao, did you do something dangerous?"

"Lin Xiao, just say something and tell me you are safe. I won't disturb you."

"Lin Xiao, are you avoiding me? Don't you want to care about me anymore?"

"..."

Looking at this information, Lin Xiao felt anxious and painful.

He didn't reply to the girl's message in these three days.

He was really afraid that the little girl would go to find either her mother or her father.

He was just about to call Gu Ruoxi back when Lu Nancheng called.

He answered Lu Nancheng's call first, "Mr. Lu."

"How is it, is Gu Chengxiu in Country M?"

Lin Xiao said: "Yes."

Although he had heard that Gu Chengxiu went to Country M to accompany Qianmei, Lu Nancheng was still shocked when he heard that it was the fact.

Lu Nancheng thought that Lin Xiao must be even more sad at this moment, so he comforted Lin Xiao:

“In life, there are always a few people who appear in our lives to help us understand the multifaceted world.

These days I told Gu Ruoxi that you were on a business trip, and she was in a stable mood. You should go back and rest. I will send someone to pick up Gu Ruoxi and let her stay at my house for a few days. You can rest for a few days. "

Lin Xiao said: "Okay."

As soon as Lin Xiao returned home and entered the door, Gu Ruoxi's small figure flew in front of him.

"Lin Xiao, you're back? You haven't replied to my messages or answered my calls in the past few days. I'm very worried about you. Sometimes I'm afraid something will happen to you, and sometimes I'm afraid you won't care about me anymore."

Lin Xiao looked at the little girl's eyes full of joy and the happiness in her words.

Since the first time he met Gu Ruoxi, he seemed to have never seen Gu Ruoxi so happy.

He was a little afraid to look into Gu Ruoxi's eyes.

He bent down to look for his slippers.

"I'll get it for you." Gu Ruoxi opened the shoe cabinet and took out slippers for Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao lowered his eyes and saw the small person squatting in front of him, with black hair and a thin back.

He suddenly thought, how could such a small back bear the heavy weight of the truth?

Gu Ruoxi raised her head and looked at Lin Xiao with a smile. When she saw that Lin Xiao looked exhausted, her smile disappeared immediately. She asked him with concern, "Did something happen?"

"..." Lin Xiao shook his head, "Tired."

Gu Ruoxi's eyes were suddenly filled with heartache. She pulled Lin Xiao inside and said, "Then you should take a rest. I'll get you some water."

Gu Ruoxi turned around and poured water for Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao looked at Gu Ruoxi's back as she poured water for him, his mind full of thoughts.

Gu Ruoxi came over with a glass of water, took a sip, and then handed it to Lin Xiao and said:

“The water temperature is just right.”

Lin Xiao pushed Gu Ruoxi's hand away, "I'm not thirsty."

Gu Ruoxi smiled sheepishly, "I know you dislike me, I'll pour you another cup."

Gu Ruoxi turned around and went back into the kitchen.

At this time, the doorbell rang.

Gu Ruoxi poked her head out and asked Lin Xiao, "Who is it?"

"I don't know." Lin Xiao said as he went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, it was the person Lu Nancheng sent to pick up Gu Ruoxi.

Gu Ruoxi had already followed Lin Xiao to the door, and she didn't recognize the person who came.

Lin Xiao said to her: "Mr. Lu sent someone to pick you up. He told you to stay at his house for a few days."

Gu Ruoxi looked at Lin Xiao for almost a full minute before she said, "Lin Xiao, is there something wrong with you?"

"No." Lin Xiao shook his head firmly.

Gu Ruoxi's eyes turned red in an instant. She walked up to Lin Xiao and looked at him with her little face raised. "Lin Xiao, if I need help, please help me. If you have any problems, I will also help you. Do you want money? I have some."

Gu Ruoxi ran to the sofa, picked up her schoolbag, took out a card from the bag and handed it to Lin Xiao.

"This is what the uncle from the company gave me that day. I checked and there is 500,000 yuan in it. You can use it first. If it's not enough, I will find a way."

Lin Xiao looked at Gu Ruoxi's red eyes. The little girl was really worried about him.

He reached out and touched the little girl's head, "I'm really fine, don't think about it."

"Then why did you ask me to live at Mr. Lu's house?"

As Gu Ruoxi spoke, two lines of tears fell.

A small person, but with great care for him.

"Don't cry," Lin Xiao explained, "I'm too tired from the business trip, and Mr. Lu wants you to stay at his house for a few days so that I can rest."

"Really?" Gu Ruoxi stared at Lin Xiao.

"Yeah." Lin Xiao nodded.

"Then I won't disturb you. Go back to your bedroom and have a rest. I'll do my homework and I'll go back home after I finish my homework."

Gu Ruoxi said as she pushed Lin Xiao towards the bedroom.

The person who came to pick up Gu Ruoxi went back.

Lin Xiao slept in his bed with his eyes open looking at the ceiling.

Qianmei’s pregnant belly appeared in my mind again.

There is also a scene where Qianmei smiles brightly at Gu Chengxiu.

Suddenly he heard a noise outside. He got up and walked out of the room, and saw the Gu family chef cooking in the open kitchen.

"Why are you awake?" Gu Ruoxi came over, "Did they wake you up? I asked them to keep their voices down."

"What are you doing? If you're hungry, just go home and eat. You..."

"Lin Xiao, don't be angry. I didn't make this for me, I made it for you."

"..." Lin Xiao was only a little touched. He said, "I'm not hungry. I ate on the plane."

"Lin Xiao," Gu Ruoxi held Lin Xiao's hand, her eyes suddenly reddened again, "Don't do those dangerous things, don't be a killer anymore, just find a good job."

Lin Xiao: "..."

"Lin Xiao, I'm scared." Gu Ruoxi threw herself into Lin Xiao's arms and cried, "I don't want anything to happen to you. If something happens to you, what will I do?"

Gu Ruoxi's words were like a sharp blade that cut through the only bit of peace in his heart.

Every emotion in his heart seemed to condense into water droplets in the air.

He heard the sound of water dripping on his heart.
