take care of

Gu Qing's house looks very big, but most of it is used to pile up things for work, and the only place that is seriously used for living is the bedroom next to the bathroom on the second floor.He walked in with Leon in his arms, opened the window, changed the sheets and quilt, and put him on his pillow.

"Go to sleep for a while," Gu Qing said to him, "I need to confirm work with my colleagues."

"I haven't changed my pajamas yet." The child hesitated and said.

Gu Qing opened the box and asked, "Which set?"

"No." Leon replied.

Lu Qing squeezed the space between his eyebrows, turned around and took off his clothes very quickly, leaving only a pair of underwear: "Go to sleep first, I will come to find you later, and take you to the store to buy new clothes on weekends."

"it is good."

After getting his answer, Gu Qing got up and left the bedroom.

Leon couldn't sleep at first.The light blue curtains fluttered slightly under the breeze, and an alarm clock in the shape of a mushroom head loomed under the curtains.He slipped under the covers and played a solo game of peek-a-boo with the mechanical alarm clock for a while.He liked that alarm clock very much, but he didn't dare to reach out to touch it without Gu Qing's permission.He looked out, but he didn't see Gu Qing's figure, and his eyes showed the rare restraint in the eyes of a child.

Leon shook his head and turned to look at the bookshelf as high as the ceiling beside the bed. With his back to the door, he raised his head and kept looking at the densely packed spines of the books, stretching out his hand to count them.Many of those spines were in his home. With familiar things, Leon, who left home for the first time, fell to the side and fell asleep suddenly.

Gu Qing, who was on the phone, watched Leon fall asleep, and his voice amplified a little: "Yes, you come here once with your things, and then I need someone to help me clean the house."

"Are you going to move back?" the person on the other end of the phone asked in surprise.

"I brought back Nona's child, and they will live with me in the future."

"Don't think about it again?" The other side asked carefully.

Gu Qing looked into the door again.The child is sleeping soundly with a dinosaur doll on his head, arranged in a "?" shape.

"His parents have just passed away, and with the baby bird complex, I want to take him by myself."

"Professor Gu Qing, think again." The other side was obviously anxious, "Do you have time to take care of the children?"

"Yes." Lu Qing thought for a few seconds and concluded.

"Okay," the person over there gritted his teeth, "let's meet and talk."

"Adoption procedures." Lu Qing emphasized again.

"Meet and talk."

Lu Qing hung up the phone, glanced at him through the crack of the door for the last time, and went upstairs lightly.

The computer upstairs was not used for a long time, and it accumulated a layer of dust. Gu Qing took the vacuum cleaner away, took out a piece of paper and wiped it casually.There are many emails, Professor Green's reply letter, and the relocation of the new laboratory.He browsed the title, found the emails with Tao Henghuan, and clicked in.

RE: RE: Investigations about Lyons.

Professor Qing Gu,

As you guessed it.Nona has been seeing a psychiatrist, suffering from mild persecution paranoia.Denkel didn't seem to know about this, and the records of entering and leaving the hospital only recorded Nona's situation.

The medical records are attached.

I wish you well.

恒欢

Gu Qing frowned and clicked on the attachment.Judging from the medical records, Nona's condition has been going on for a long time. Based on Leon's age, the condition has aggravated a lot during pregnancy and after childbirth.She hadn't been to the hospital since Lyon was ten months old.

Is that when the decision was made to imprison the child and ensure his safety?Or is it just for your own safety?What about Denkel?Really ignorant?This couple has served in his laboratory for more than ten years, and they are his extremely trusted assistants, but he didn't notice the abnormality in this aspect at all, and it was also his negligence.

There was the sound of parking outside the window.Gu Qing looked sideways, and Willis's silver-pink old car finally stopped behind the Beetle by leaning left and right. He tugged on the seat belt anxiously, almost pulling the whole car up. The paper file he was holding was dangling outside the car window.

There is no need for the living to continue to bear the wrong things that the dead did.

Gu Qing looked back at all the emails between him and Tao Henghuan about Leon, and wrote back to him——

Leon has been found.That's all.Please shred the mail, thanks.

Gu Qing heard his heavy footsteps stop, turned off the computer, got up and went downstairs to find him.A silver-haired middle-aged man was looking at the sleeping child through the crack of the door on the second floor, sighing with his hands behind his back, the back of his light pink T-shirt was wet a lot.Lu Qing took the file out of his hand and read it page by page.The ID photo of the two of them was taken temporarily at Leon's home, I don't know if it was his illusion, the way Leon pursed his lips and stared at the camera is very similar to Gu Zhun's expression when he was a child.He smiled unconsciously, and was ridiculed by Willis:

"Why? Adapted to the role of a loving father so quickly?"

Lu Qing shook his head: "It feels like he's a bit like my younger brother."

"Children are a bit like it," Willis said "Tsk", "When your brother was a child? How long has it been, and you still remember it."

"For me, everything just happened." Gu Qing said to him seriously.

"Don't scare me with this tone, I'm not afraid of anything with my old bones."

"You are not old."

"No," the silver-haired man turned his head, and his tone was extremely serious, "Your master Juan is dead, and I won't live long."

Lu Qing looked at him quietly with his arms crossed.Willis is 50 years old this year. Except for short, shiny silver hair and an oversized body, he is just an ordinary white man in other respects and does not attract too much attention.But to Gu Qing, he is special.Willis is his master's deputy, accompanying his master from birth to death, and growing up with him.He knew almost everything about Juan, and Gaia's secrets, and was the rarest...friend of him and his master.

Friends, for Gaia, are already the strongest personal connection to this world.

"With this look, quickly see if my clothes are frozen into ice?" He turned around with a smile.

"No, there are only sweat stains on it." Lu Qing looked at it seriously.

"Before you picked him up, you went to Juan's funeral." Willis lowered his eyes. "Did someone say anything?"

"No." Gu Qing replied: "You know, after the age of 40, Gaia will gradually lose all memory. When Juan died, he was already 50 years old."

"Already 50 years old?" Willis shook his shoulders. "All drug dealers in prison can live past that age."

"I checked the records, and he is the longest-lived Gaia."

"You don't even remember?" Willis asked unwillingly.

"I'm his death contact, that's all."

"do you have--"

"Willis," Gu Qing put a hand on his shoulder, "I saw that you went too, and I saw that you asked the staff in the nursing home, and I also know that you brought everything after his death. Come back. If there is anything related to the two of us, you can check it out."

Willis seemed to have been whipped through the spine with a barbed whip, and his shoulders were raised again.

"Like every Gaia, he lived silently and died alone." Lu Qing pressed his shoulder lightly, "I will be the same in the future."

"I just hope that he and you can live for a while longer. He and your contribution should live to a hundred years old!" Willis' hair trembled angrily.

"This is impossible. If he remembers, he will thank you. It is your continuous efforts over the years that have allowed him to live to be 50 years old." Gu Qing pressed his shoulders, watched him calm down, and then held his hands open.

The wind passed through Willis's open slit, blowing the milky white door open, and the light blue curtains bulged, revealing the bright sunlight and clumps of weeds outside.The child on the bed appeared in front of them without any cover. He was not awakened by their brief quarrel, and he still slept soundly.

"If we hadn't gone to his funeral," Willis said, glancing at Leon, "maybe we could have prevented this accident in time."

"It's also possible that the two of us died in this accident." Gu Qing said slowly: "There are too many ways to look at one thing, if you regard going to Juan's funeral as a mistake, then this child is a mistake one of the consequences."

"What I'm most impatient to hear is you ifs, each of which seems to have developed into a parallel world." Willis glanced at Gu Qing, "How many 'afters' have you thought of for him?"

"There is only one," Gu Qing said looking at Leon, "I hope he can be the first person to stand in the galaxy."

"I don't understand you. After talking for so long," Willis asked strangely, "why is he not moving?"

"There are people who sleep and don't like to move."

"I haven't heard of any child like that." Willis didn't move his feet, frowning and gestured into the room, "Go in, go in and have a look."

Gu Qing obeyed his words and walked into the house.The child's hands were folded on the stomach, a small ball, and his face was flushed with heat. "I have a fever, call a doctor." Gu Qing said to Willis.He rolled up his sleeves, then shook Leon in his arms: "Leon."

The child in his arms remained unconscious, as if dead.Gu Qing turned his head to listen to his heartbeat, and continued to call his name.

"In Chinese, are you calling your soul?" Willis asked him standing at the door after calling.

"He can't wake up." Gu Qing said with a frown.

"What happened before?"

Lu Qing succinctly told him what happened in the previous few hours.

"So, you not only feed him steak that you don't know if it's done, but you also say to a child who spends half a month alone, 'his parents are dead'." Willis said in the middle, and switched to the other side The door frame leans up.

"That's the truth; he asked me about it." Gu Qing answered one by one, "The steak is cooked."

"Can a child really bear so much?"

"You come in."

"I haven't been in Juan's bedroom yet!"

"I invite you into my bedroom."

"Okay." Willis walked into the bedroom and looked up and down: "Not to mention, just these books beside your bed, any hard-shell book, if it falls, it may punch a hole in his head .”

"The books are all buckled in the dark slots, so they won't fall down easily."

"What about eating? What about going to school? What about extracurricular tutoring? Can people like you and Juan really take care of a child?" Willis said a lot, "Really, for his own good, you should let someone else take care of him Bar."

"Why hasn't the doctor come?" Gu Qing asked him.

"Why are you more stubborn than Juan?"

"It's not stubbornness, it's responsibility." Lu Qing gently put Leon back on the bed.

"Gu Qing," Willis called to stop him, "Think about it again, I can find a better educational environment for him."

"Better than me?" Lu Qing turned around and smiled.

"Are you laughing, or are you going to kill me with this expression? Raising a child is not accomplished by relying on scientific research ability," Willis sighed, "Sometimes it is inversely proportional."

"I won't give up on him now," Lu Qing said seriously, "Didn't I grow up safely with Juan?"

"I'm not bragging," Willis said, "You really wouldn't be able to live to this size without me."

"The doctor is outside," Gu Qing said, "Can you please pick him up?"

"You speak in such a cold voice, how dare I say no."

"Thank you, Willis. Let me tell you when Juan left years ago."

The pink chubby back didn't stop at all, and the way of nodding was perfunctory: "It's meaningless to tell others after you die."
