Chapter 10 Peonies Bloom

Li Yanluo slept for so long yesterday, and woke up early the next morning. Gu Muyu was still fast asleep. How to sleep well, because this bed is too soft, and she sinks into it as soon as she lays down, as if wrapped in light feathers. Although she feels very comfortable, it is probably because she used to be directly on the hard bluestone floor and the bed. She sleeps in her clothes, but she doesn't quite adapt to such a good environment.

"Sister, if this is a dream, I don't want to wake up for the rest of my life." Li Yanluo felt that he couldn't get enough of Gu Muyu's face no matter how hard he looked, so he followed her breathing and breathed out while she was still awake.Between the ears and temples are the breathing sounds of the two at the same frequency, as if there is only one person in this room, and their flesh and blood are fused together.

"Hmm~" Gu Muyu hummed softly, flicked his hands resting on his abdomen, his eyelids gradually opened, and the eyes that were usually full of light now looked childish because of sleepiness.

"Sister, are you awake?" Li Yanluo was lying on her side, and when she saw that she was awake, she started talking.

In fact, she has never talked much before, and there are almost no people who are willing to talk to her. She is also used to being ignored by others. When she wants to talk, she talks to the air to herself, or squats in the corner to watch the ants. Talking about it, once the little chubby doll from the neighbor's house saw her like that and cried in fright, but she wondered why they would call herself a lunatic?

She has seen lunatics, that stupid big guy on the corner of the street who yells and kills all day long, made his house very restless, and everyone in the street avoided their family like the plague. It is said that that person used to be a little A gangster, he hurt his brain during the firefight, and he has been insane ever since. His boss saw that he didn't think there was any threat, so he saved his life.Li Yanluo felt that her head was not injured, and she would not smash things or cut people at every turn, and she had to do so many things every day, she just felt a little lonely, so she talked to herself like that. , I'm sure I can't be a lunatic, they are talking nonsense, but since then, she understands that others may regard her as a lunatic when they look at her like that, so she becomes more reticent.

Therefore, when Gu Muyu asked her why she talked so little yesterday, she didn't know what to say, she was just used to not talking, but Gu Muyu treated her so well, since she wanted to listen to her more, she worked hard She searched for something to say to her, but she didn't know what to say for a while, so she had to ask the truth dryly.

Gu Muyu came back to her senses, and hugged Li Yanluo in her arms with a sideways approach: "Good morning, little Yanluo~" Her voice was long and lazy, like a clingy kitten.

"Good morning, sister." Li Yanluo is now used to Gu Muyu's sudden hug. She used to hope that someone would give her a warm embrace, but now it's only been two days. She enjoyed it so much that she actually Do you think this is a sweet burden? !However, such thoughts only stayed in her mind for a short while, and she also hugged the person in front of her with both hands, feeling very happy in her heart.

The two hugged like this for a while, until there was a knock on the door: "Miss, the master told you to take Miss Li downstairs for breakfast."

"Okay, here we come."

The two got up to wash and wash. When they were getting dressed, Gu Muyu originally wanted to help Li Yanluo, but she didn't expect her to dress more neatly than her. She thought to herself why her little Yanluo is so smart, she is really a treasure!

Go downstairs, turn a corner, and arrive at the restaurant. Gu Sinian was already waiting for them there. When he saw two little girls walking in arm in arm, he put away the newspaper in his hand, stood up, and said softly: "Come over and have breakfast," he said to Li Yanluo, "Yanluo, you were so ill yesterday, but luckily you just ate something wrong. The doctor said that you have to eat light food these days , I asked someone to cook some clear porridge for you, it may be a bit bland, but it is also for your health, and when you are healthy, we will make you your favorite food." He also thoughtfully gave the two Pulled out the seat.

Li Yanluo was really flattered. Yesterday she just heard Gu Muyu say that her father is a very easy-going person. She didn't say a few words during lunch. She just thought he was a very good person based on his temperament. She didn't expect Uncle Gu It was better than she imagined.She promised again and again: "I see, thank you Uncle Gu."

When the doctor came to examine Li Yanluo's illness yesterday, he also applied ointment to her right hand injury, so now her right hand is almost healed.The two little girls sat side by side, drinking the porridge quietly.Gu Muyu also gave Li Yanluo a few mouthfuls of pickles to relieve her anxiety.

Gu Sinian didn't take a few bites, so he put down his chopsticks, and said to Gu Muyu, "Muyu, school will start soon, please calm down and report to school in a few days."

start of school?Gu Muyu was still chatting with Li Yanluo, but when he heard this, his little face drooped, and his expression was full of reluctance.

"Sister? Are you studying?" Li Yanluo also put down his chopsticks and looked at her.

"Yeah, going to school is boring. I have to go every day, and I have to do homework assigned by the teacher, and I have to take exams at the end of the semester." Gu Muyu propped his elbows on the dining table, rubbing his face with his small hands, feeling extremely distressed. "Hey, Xiao Yanluo, you haven't been to school, have you? Let's go to school together. With you here, I'm sure I won't be bored."

The more she thought about this idea, the better she felt. She met Gu Sinian's eyes and said with bright eyes: "Father, can you let Xiao Yanluo go to school with me? If Xiao Yanluo can come with me, I'm sure." I will study hard."

"You," Gu Sinian shook his head amusedly, "I really want to come out as soon as I come out. I used to make promises like this to me often. When did I do it seriously, huh?"

"Oh, Dad," Gu Muyu acted coquettishly again, "Xiao Yanluo will definitely be bored if he stays at home alone, how nice it is for the two of us to go to school together, we can take the car together, go to school together, finish class together, and care for each other A care."

"So, if I don't agree, it means I'm not smart?" Gu Siyou raised his eyebrows and said, there was a hint of slyness on his usually gentle face.

Gu Muyu nodded like a pounding garlic: "Yes, yes."

"Did I ever tell you not to let Yan Luo go to school?" He put it off, "I contacted the school last night. Fortunately, the school has not officially started yet, but I don't know what foundation Yan Luo is now, but Yan Luo Rob is younger than you, so he must not be in the same class."

When Gu Muyu heard that her father had already arranged things, she was so happy that she narrowed her eyes and pinched Xiao Yanluo's face: "Xiao Yanluo, are you happy, we can go to school together~"

Of course Li Yanluo was very happy, she was completely overwhelmed by surprises one after another in the past two days.People, once they have it, then lose it, it is absolutely a disaster.In the past, she ate her last meal without a second meal, and was not loved by anyone. She escaped at the end of the road and got a warm home like heaven. She prayed for every moment and the next moment. She swore that for this Happiness stays forever, and you are willing to sacrifice everything to get it.

"Uncle Gu, thank you." She stood up respectfully and still bowed at ninety degrees in a standard manner.

"Yan Luo, we are a family, there is no need to say thank you among family members, and the politeness is reserved for outsiders, you know?" Gu Sinian can probably guess the turmoil in her heart. After Gu Muyu rescued her yesterday, he He ordered people to inquire about Li Yanluo's life experience and past clearly. It was not because of his villainous heart, but because of troubled times, safety is the most important thing in everything. However, after he read the complete information, he remained silent for a while.

When he was young, he used to fight for the fate of the country for half his life, but he could not turn the tide of the world by himself.The great powers stared at each other, the warlords fought in separatist regimes, and the people were displaced. Everything seemed to be cast on the Chinese mainland, and there was no way out.Although there are revolutions in full swing today, it is still innocent people who suffer.To put it nicely, they are fighting for justice for the people, but in the end it is nothing more than the strife and change of rights of the dignitaries.He was more bewildered than ever before.

"Sit down, Xiao Yanluo, from now on, let's not just say thank you so much, it's so extravagant, don't you think?" Seeing that she didn't get up straight for a long time, Gu Muyu tugged at the hem of her clothes, and She sat down.

"The weather is nice today. You two sisters should go for a walk in the garden after breakfast. Although our house is not too big, Mu Yu, you have to take Yanluo Haosheng and walk around a few times to get to know the place."

"Okay, Dad."

Gu Sinian left the dining table early and went to the study alone. Recently, he always stayed in the study for several hours. No one knew what he was thinking about.

"Little Yanluo, look, how beautiful these flowers bloom." Because Gu Sinian liked it, their family set up a space in the yard alone, full of peony flowers, red, white and pink. They were all full of energy, standing proudly on the branches, with butterflies flying around from time to time. At this moment, Gu Muyu was standing among the flowers in a pale yellow dress facing the bright sunlight. When she looked back, a beam of sunlight passed by her ears, It really echoes the sentence in the "Book of Songs": Qiao Xiaoqian is beautiful, beautiful eyes are looking forward to, and I always think it is gorgeous.

"Are you stunned? Come here," Gu Muyu dragged her to walk among the flowers, "Little Yanluo, do you know the flower language of this peony flower?"

"I don't know." Li Yanluo answered honestly.

"Actually, I'm also very strange. It is said in the book that the peony flower is a thing of love between a man and a woman, but why is it also called Jiangli? Isn't Jiangli Jiangli just a separation between labor and swallow? Is it possible that love in this world can't last long?" In fact What Gu Muyu was even more curious about was why Dad would like such a contradictory flower?

"Maybe it's because there are always loves that have to be done as a last resort, and not all have a happy ending." Li Yanluo said this sentence on his own.

Gu Muyu scratched his head, "Little Yanluo, your words are so profound that I can't even understand them. How did you come up with this sentence?"

Listening to the meaning of the peony flower, Li Yanluo couldn't help but think of the dramas she had secretly heard in the past. Most of them were also about love, but there were too few people who were happy with each other and stayed together in the end. There are all kinds of fetters and troubles. These things other than love are intertwined and woven into a fine net, which wraps love tightly. It was gone.

"However, even if the flowers wither and fall under the violent wind and rain, as long as there is a sliver of hope left, they will always be beautiful again in the coming year. Therefore, all love in the world must go through hardships before it will last forever. The peony flower will come again The test is whether to be happy with each other, or to stay in the rivers and lakes together, it's all a personal choice." Although Li Yanluo is younger than Gu Muyu, because of the different experiences, Li Yanluo's cognition is indeed better than Gu Muyu's. To be more profound.The school lessons and the opera troupe's libretto that she overheard, at the moment, her heart was beating up and down, and she uttered these words abruptly, which stunned her, as if all the love and moonlight in her mouth had come true. , and it still happened to her.

"Xiao Yanluo, what's the matter with you? Why are you crying?" Gu Muyu looked at the little girl in front of him in surprise. She was obviously fine just now, but she didn't understand what she said at all, but she shed tears, and her face was full of tears. The expression on her face was not simply sad, but a desolation and hopelessness that she couldn't understand.

"Don't cry, ah." Gu Muyu gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Li Yanluo's eyes.

"What's wrong with me?" Li Yanluo touched his face, looking at the crystals of his fingertips.The worried look on Gu Muyu's face reflected in her eyes made her come to her senses, she wiped away the tears all over her face indiscriminately, and said: "Sister, I'm fine, maybe it's because the wind is blinding me."

Gu Muyu looked at her little Yanluo crying for no reason, her heart stabbed for no reason, and her heart palpitations continued. She was clearly in front of her eyes, but she felt that she couldn't even touch the fabric of the person with her hand. Thinking of this, she was terrified She quickly hugged her little Yanluo tightly, not only to comfort the poor child, but also to reassure herself.

"Sister, let's go into the house." Tears were blown dry by the wind, Li Yanluo regained consciousness, unwilling to stay in this place anymore.

"Okay, let's go in, let's go in."

The two entered the room, and Gu Muyu poured Li Yanluo a cup of hot milk. The sweet milk finally settled Li Yanluo's restless mood.The two sat on the sofa and snuggled together, neither of them mentioned what happened just now.
