take care of

The lunch time between Gu Qing and Tao Henghuan didn't last long, and before the noodles were finished, Darcy called out to him in the cafeteria in despair.Lu Qing followed him back to the mechanical laboratory, and he barely escaped until it was "off work" time.

"Off work? What off work?" Darcy was very puzzled.

"I'm going to pick someone up."

"You have a date?!" Darcy's eyes widened, trying to look at Lu Qing's face.

"It's a lot more important than that."

"It's incredible, it's incredible."

"I have time to introduce you to each other. I think he will suit your learning atmosphere here."

"I have a cutie I like, but I haven't met it in the past few days."

Gu Qing didn't expect this.He always thought that Darcy was the No.1 choice of Mr. Leon. He didn't know faces very well, and he had a very cheerful personality. He might be able to change Leon's precocious personality. a student.But it doesn't matter, the student is not Gaia, only one can be accepted.

"I entrust you with this quota."

"Oh...it's terrible, bring it over tomorrow to have a look?" Darcy asked.

"It's still young! In another two years."

"You actually gave birth to a child?! You are only 28 and you have a child?!" Darcy rubbed his eyes vigorously: "You have children, but I still can't remember your appearance?!"

"Give up, study your robot carefully." Gu Qing nodded and bid him farewell.

After Lu Qing came out of the laboratory, he first went to buy a cake, then picked some fruit, and bought him a toy car by the way. Except for the safety seat, the back seat was almost full.He came back from London this time, and he was able to stay in Celle for a long time. The child will be very happy. When he left last time, he curled up on the bed and slept, looking very pitiful.

Under the influence of children's memory rules, Lu Qing can feel that he has sealed up his biological parents as a conceptual existence, and now the most important dependence in Leon's heart is him.This period of time will not be very long, and it will be over before the age of six. If you satisfy him for more than three years, he will soon grow into a healthy child, and it seems good to become his younger brother's brave personality.

When Gu Qing arrived near Willis's house, he just caught up with Willis bringing Leon back from swimming.The child's hair was wet and he looked very tired, but he still followed Willis step by step, and when the wind blew by, he would suddenly straighten his back and tremble.Gu Qing stopped the car, watched his short and thin figure walking towards Willis's house step by step, frowning deeply - Leon's appearance like this was not Gu Zhun who cared for him carefully and strictly demanded, but was when he was a child.

After a while, Leon sat on the doorstep with a towel and wiped his hair against the cool wind.He hasn't had a haircut in the past few months, and within a few seconds, the originally soft and shiny black hair was messed up by his short hands.Finally he seemed to give up, covering his hair with a blue animal towel and burying himself in his knees.The setting sun was beautiful, covering the Caucasian child softly, and it was obvious that the deep and shallow bruises on his body had faded a lot.

Lu Qing was a little touched.He understands many truths in this world, and can understand many things, but it is still a rare and beautiful feeling for him to truly feel this kind of pity for human children.He used to think that his work was for all mankind, and now that all mankind seems to have a concrete image.A cute and innocent child like Leon should live happily in his improved world. He doesn't need to be bound by any physical problems, and he can freely pursue what he wants.

When Lu Qing was about to start the car, the white Pomeranian that Leon had mentioned came up to bite his towel and was pushed away by him.Hiromi didn't leave, and continued to bite his towel. After repeated several times, Leon hugged the towel in his arms, revealing his messy hair.Bomei looked at him, yelled twice, and began to shake his hair vigorously. After demonstrating a few times, the dazed Leon also started to shake his hair.It was light at first, but after he found it worked, he exerted so much force that his hair fell on his face, and he even gritted his teeth in pain.

Gu Qing laughed by himself in the car.After Leon's hair was shaken to a basic outline, the Pomeranian ran away, and Leon himself entered the door after watching it go home.Gu Qing waited for a while, drove the car over, and knocked on the door with the gift for Willis.

"Dragon fruit and kiwi..." Willis took it and looked at it, "Thank you. I put them in the refrigerator."

"Daddy." The child didn't seem surprised when he saw him.

"Hug, Leon." Gu Qing knelt down and said to him.

Leon was a little surprised at this time, but he still threw himself into his arms according to his heart.In addition to the smell of the laboratory, Gu Qing also smelled of cream.

"Did you buy a cake?" the child asked him.

"Yes, in the car." Gu Qing said softly, "The kind that Willis loves the most, don't tell him."

Leon heard a kind of warmth from his cold voice, hugged his arms tighter, and nodded.

"Going home together?" Gu Qing asked him, "I came back from London today, and I won't be traveling for a long time."

"Okay." Leon nodded.

"Let's go now?"

"Okay." Leon nodded again.

Lu Qing picked up Leon and stood at the kitchen door: "Willis, let's go first, and we'll get the things next time."

"In such a hurry? Are you eating cake behind my back?"

"How do you know?" Leon asked in surprise.

"Anyone who has been to Helena's shop, I can smell it." Willis took out a cake shop leaflet from behind and handed it to Gu Qing: "This is for you."

"When your blood sugar is more stable, I'll buy you one alone." Lu Qing took it.

"It's already circled." Willis pouted.

"Goodbye, Willis." Gu Qing said to him.

"Goodbye." Willis waved his hand, and then said to Leon, "Don't have breakfast at home tomorrow morning, remember?"

"Remember." Leon nodded.

"Why can't you eat?" Gu Qing asked when returning to the car.

"Willis wants to make me something else to eat."

Gu Qing nodded and stopped asking.

Leon still remembered what Willis said - he was going to get an injection tomorrow, he couldn't eat, he would throw up if he ate it, and he would choke if it was serious.At that time, he was still angry and sad because Gu Qing didn't come to see him, but after sitting in Gu Qing's car, he couldn't do it at all. He was willing to do anything for Gu Qing, as long as he could help Gu Qing, even if he got an injection. Not afraid.

After eating the cake, Leon went back to play in his game room, while Gu Qing was still busy on the third floor.He carefully took out all the toys in each box to play with, and selected a few that he misses a lot and prepared to take them back to his bed to play with. At 08:30, Gu Qing came down from the third floor ahead of time, holding something like a mushroom lamp in his hand.

"Dad, what is this?" Leon asked when he walked to the bathroom.

"I just made a little thing. Your hair has grown. I'll help you trim it."

"Okay." Leon nodded.

Lu Qing smiled lightly: "It's the first time I've cut someone's hair, but don't worry, this is a smart hair clipper, it will remind me the degree of haircut according to your head shape."

"Smart?" Leon asked.

"With some data installed, it can be roughly predicted," Lu Qing shook the machine, "I seem to be making it harder to understand."

"Let's get started." Leon said to him with a smile.

Gu Qing turned on the switch, and the round mushroom lamp revealed a row of teeth.After a while, the hair that still troubled Leon in the afternoon disappeared completely. In the mirror, his eyebrows and eyes were exposed, and his short hair was bristled, like a soldier who joined the army in a movie.

"It's a little shorter than I thought." Gu Qing turned off the switch and turned on the hair dryer.

When he said that, Leon felt like it was a little too short.

"Can you wash your hair yourself?" Gu Qing asked.

Leon would have washed his hair long ago, but he still shook his head: "No."

"Just take a shower."

Gu Qing didn't give him a chance to refuse, and quickly took off his clothes. Leon stretched out his hand to cover it, but Gu Qing also pushed his hand away.He felt uncomfortable for a moment, and felt a little closer in his heart.

"Close your eyes, it's time to water."

Leon obediently closed his eyes.Lu Qing took the opportunity to look at the child. Apart from the bruises caused by diving, the child didn't even have a mosquito bite. Just as he thought, Willis would not abuse Leon, but he would treat him as a child. He raised him when he was a child.

If I have a chance, I want to tell him that Leon is not Gu Qing, let alone Juan's apprentice, he is just a lovely child with an unfortunate background.

Gu Qing washed him briefly, wrapped him in a bath towel, and carried him back to the room with a picture of a lion at the door.When Leon changed his clothes, Gu Qing looked at the bookshelf and asked, "What story do you want to hear?"

Leon's pajamas were half put on, and he subconsciously said, "The story of the kite."

"The kite has many stories and is a famous image."

"Are you like a kite?"

"It's not like that," Gu Qing shook his head, "I heard someone say that I'm like an iceberg."

The child's trousers are worn to the heels of his legs, and his little hands are holding on to the elastic band. It seems that he has a lot to say.

"Did Willis say I look like a kite?" Lu Qing sat by his bed and pulled up his trousers.

"I don't know how to say it," Leon thought for a while, "I can't hold it, it will fly away."

"Daddy won't go."

Leon felt as if he had forgotten something, but the sad feeling was still there, but he couldn't speak it out.His mastery of vocabulary seems far from allowing him to express himself clearly.There were many things he wanted to say to Gu Qing, some of which he gradually forgot, and Willis who remembered said that he could not tell his father.

"Dad, can you not leave me?"

"I'll try my best." Gu Qing said to him, "If you have to go on a business trip, can I call you next time?"

"it is good."

"Sleep, it's nine o'clock."

Gu Qing went out and closed the door.

Leon couldn't sleep a little bit, and accompanied by the orange lion night light, he carefully captured the sound of Lu Qing's activities.He went to wash up, then tidied up the bathroom, and finally the muffled sound of his walking away.In the long silence, Leon slowly fell asleep.

He dreamed of the half month he had lived alone.There were many, many footsteps in the corridor, but none of them stopped for him.He leaned on the crack of the door and looked out, there were so many kinds of shoes, all kinds of colors, he hurried past.Gu Qing also came. He was wearing black leather shoes and gray plaid socks. He stood for a while, and then slowly left, leaving only the sound of muffled footsteps.Leon wanted to cry so loudly so he would walk back, but a voice told him: Be a gentleman.

He woke up suddenly, the room was quiet, and the eyes of the lion's night light were staring at him tightly like a real beast.Leon wiped the sweat from his brow, got out of bed and turned off the lamp.He stood in his room for a while, and gently opened the door.There was no light in the crack of the door on the third floor, so he walked to the snow-white leopard and stopped.

"May I sleep with you..." Leon said very quietly, sticking to Gu Qing's door.

He actually didn't expect an answer, after all he remembered that he had spent the night alone when he learned that he had lost his parents.Gu Qing treats him very well, and he is willing to do a lot of things for Gu Qing, but Gu Qing doesn't seem to be responsible for managing his weakness and tears.He didn't know why he came outside Gu Qing's door, maybe he was expecting something, if that door didn't open, then tomorrow he might forget what he had expected.

However, the door opened.Lu Qing looked at him intently, with distant eyes, and soft words: "Go get your pillow."

Leon ran back to get the pillow again, there were no curtains in Gu Qing's room, he slept in the shadow formed by the books, the other side of the bed sheet was not messed up by the moonlight.Leon carefully climbed onto his bed, and Gu Qing arched his back, trying to get as close to the towering piles of books as possible to make room for him.He suddenly regretted his reckless behavior, he might have disturbed him.

"dad."

"Did you have a nightmare?" Gu Qing asked him.

"I'm a little scared." Leon said with his back to him.

"What happened?"

"Will you become a hero like you after getting the injection?"

"Did Willis say that?"

"Yeah." Leon nodded.

Lu Qing propped up his upper body and looked at the child under the moonlight.He kept fiddling with his fingers, looking very anxious.He lay back gently, and explained to him as simple as possible: "It may change, it may die, or it may become a patient."

"sick?"

"It's like being stuck in the corner of a bouncy castle."

"Does the injection hurt?"

"Tolerable." Gu Qing thought for a while and said.

The child seemed to have made up his mind. He turned around with a lonely expression on his face: "Then I'll get an injection tomorrow."

"What needle? What did Willis tell you?"

Lu Qing frowned, and his voice was terribly cold, but at this moment Leon suddenly felt the grievance in his heart swell like water.Although Willis didn't let him talk to Gu Qing, he still wanted to talk to him.

"Willis said I could be like you and help you."

"I'll ask, you'll answer." Gu Qing stopped his statement.

"it is good."

"Is he training you?"

"Ah."

"Watching movies, diving, endurance running, have you done any of these?"

"Yes."

"Have you ever taken any pills? Pink and blue, and lozenges."

"Ah."

Every time Leon nodded, Lu Qing's face became even more ugly.He stood up to turn on the light, but Leon grabbed him: "I'm afraid, I don't want to turn on the light. Are you angry? Willis didn't want me to tell you."

"I'm not angry with you. It's my fault. I should take you with me." Lu Qing thought for a while and sat back on the bed.

"I'm not afraid of needles, I'm just a little worried."

"What are you worried about?"

"Do you... love me?" Leon knelt on the bed and said to him a little sadly: "I feel that no one loves me. So many people pass by my door, no one stops..."

The child worked hard to organize his words, with a serious and painful expression.Everything in his life has just begun, and every thing that Gu Qing has considered insignificant is as precious to him as the only truth in the world.

Lu Qing held him in his arms, and kissed his forehead lightly: "I love you. You are very cute. The blue in your eyes is like the sea. You are the best baby I have ever seen. Together, I am very happy."

"I love you too." Leon pressed his shoulders to stand up, kissed him lightly on the forehead, and then quickly slipped into Gu Qing's arms: "Your dark eyes are also very beautiful. For You and I are willing to get an injection, Willis said he wants mine...an anchor is a 'gentleman', but I want you to be my anchor, can you ask him tomorrow?"

"Anchoring is something that comes from your heart, and no one else can decide." Lu Qing picked him up and put him on his own pillow: "I won't let you do this."

"I am the grass on the ground, you are the kite, and that thread," Leon seemed to have not heard it, and kept trying to recall, "Where is yours?"

"According to what you said, I'm a kite without a string." Gu Qing smoothed it out and replied, "I haven't found my anchor."

"Then how did you get back to the ground?" Leon asked worriedly.

"Don't fly too high," Gu Qing said slowly, "As long as you can still see the grass on the ground, you can come back after taking a deep breath. So I'm not a very qualified kite, I don't dare to fly Take a look at the limit."

"I can hold that thread for you." Leon clenched his fists.

"It's too late." Gu Qing spread his hand and rubbed it, "Maybe twenty or so in the morning, you can hold it for me."

"When you come back, does it hurt?"

Lu Qing hadn't thought about this matter for a long time.He doesn't like to sleep very much. Once he falls asleep, he will just wander in the endless memories and thoughts. Every time he comes back, he will be unwilling and resentful. These two emotions seem to be more difficult than pain.

"It should be a little." Gu Qing said simply.

"Father, fly away," Leon threw himself into Gu Qing's arms and cried, "Don't come back, fly away."

"Don't cry, I will teach Willis for you tomorrow."

"My father, my poor father."

Lu Qing couldn't help laughing again, no one had ever used this word to describe him, maybe when Leon grows up, he won't remember that he thought about Gu Qing's life like this.Gaia, in the eyes of a child, it should be pitiful, it hurts, there is no time to play, and there is no food to eat.It seems that Leon really trusts him, and is willing to do such a hard thing for him.If you let him know that he will live a short life, will he feel more pitiful?

Lu Qing has been a Gaia since he was a child, and he has never seen his own life from this angle, so it looks very interesting. What he thinks is an extremely wonderful life, others will think it is sad and pitiful.

"Come on, don't cry." Lu Qing hugged him and rolled over to lie on the front.

The child curled up his legs and cried on his heart, and many, many tears seeped from the surface of the cotton T-shirt, warm and traceable.He suddenly remembered that the solutions being prepared in the laboratory had been cooled to an inhuman level in order to keep them fresh. Could the cold water provide nutrition for the embryos leaving the mother's body?

Lu Qing shuttled back and forth between reality and work, taking care of the child on his chest for a while, and constantly simulating the ratio of the solution in his mind.After an unknown amount of time, the voice of the child on his chest became much quieter, and after an unknown amount of time, he was tired from crying and slowly fell asleep.

Gu Qing stretched out a hand to hug him, and gently closed his eyes.

The author has something to say:

Hey, it's really not cruel at all!
