The Cultivation of Rebirth

Gu Huaidong took Li Rui to his aunt's downstairs by bike.

Seeing Li Rui waving goodbye to him as usual, and then turned to go upstairs, Gu Huaidong put one foot on the ground for support, and reached out from his jacket pocket to take out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter that he bought today.

Gu Huaidong pressed the lighter, lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, and then slowly spit it out.

Under the dim streetlight, the expression on his face could not be seen clearly through the smoke, only the sparks on the cigarette twinkled in the night.

Gu Huaidong waited patiently.

Li Rui went upstairs, took out the key in the dark, and inserted the key into the position of the door lock in his memory.

The key took two clicks before it went in. Li Rui turned the key, but found that it couldn't be turned at all.

Li Rui froze for a moment, pulled out the key and inserted it again, only to find that it still couldn't be turned.

He pulled the key out and tried it again, pushed it in again and tried it again, but the key just wouldn't turn.

what happened?Is the lock broken?

Li Rui hesitated whether to knock on the door and ask his aunt to open the door, and at the same time put the key in the lock and turned it vigorously twice.

The key still won't turn.

A man's voice came from inside the door: "Who is outside?"

This voice does not belong to my uncle, nor does it belong to Wang Hao, nor does it belong to my younger brother.

Li Rui was at a loss, raised his arm unconsciously, and knocked on the door.

The person inside the door asked again: "Who is outside?"

Li Rui didn't answer, he wanted to speak but found that he couldn't make a sound at all.

Li Rui slammed on the door twice.

There were two curses in the room, and then the door opened in front of Li Rui with a "crack".

Standing in the door was a strange man.

Li Rui had never seen such a person before.

The man looked Li Rui up and down, his attitude was much better than before he opened the door: "Child, who are you? Did you go to the wrong door?"

How could he go to the wrong door?How could he go to the wrong door?

Li Rui panicked in his heart, and the expression on his face was very hasty and uneasy.

In the great summer, he heard his teeth chattering.

"...I'm looking for my aunt."

"Your aunt? Oh, are you talking about the family that lived here before? They moved out. They sublet this house to me a few days ago. I just moved in today." The man rubbed head, asked Li Rui, "Didn't your aunt tell you that they moved?"

Li Rui shook his head.

His palms and heart were cold.

For a while, his aunt said to him, "Xiao Rui, you have to take good care of yourself by yourself", and for a while, it was his aunt saying to him, "Xiao Rui, I'm sorry".

The man at the door saw a child in Li Rui standing alone at the door, and the fluorescent lamp in the room shone on his face, making his face pale and pale, and scratched his head again: "Child, are you leaving?" The family ran away, and want to stay at your aunt's house for one night? I think you should go home first. It's so late, do you want me to call your parents for you? "

Go home... which home could he go to?

He no longer has a home.

"No, thank you." Li Rui opened his mouth mechanically.

Seeing this, the man hesitated for a while, and said to Li Rui: "Then shall I go back to sleep first?"

Li Rui took two steps back.

The man looked at Li Rui who was standing there blankly for a while, then closed the door.

The corridor was suddenly flooded with darkness.

Li Rui crouched down slowly in the darkness.

He squatted for a long time, until his legs were so numb that he almost lost consciousness, then he stood up tremblingly, and walked downstairs holding the doorknob.

Gu Huaidong who was downstairs started smoking after Li Rui went upstairs, and his eyes never moved away from upstairs.

As he smoked, he thought about where he was going upstairs.

Gu Huaidong smoked cigarettes quite slowly at first, but then he couldn't help but smoke one after another faster and faster.

No one came out of the stairs.

Gu Huaidong took out his mobile phone and sent a text message: "Where is the person?"

The other party came back almost immediately: "It's still outside the door."

"Fuck!" Gu Huaidong cursed, and then went to the cigarette box to dig out some cigarettes.

When he lowered his head, he realized that he had smoked almost half a pack of cigarettes.

Gu Huaidong firmly pressed the half-smoked cigarette into the cigarette case.

He still underestimated Li Rui's stubbornness.

Gu Huaidong took down the cigarette in his mouth and threw it on the ground, got off the bicycle, and stamped out the cigarette butt on the ground.

After parking the bicycle, Gu Huaidong threw the cigarettes and lighter into the trash can beside him.

Li Rui didn't like the smell of smoke.He didn't hold back at night either.

Gu Huaidong strode towards where Li Rui was.

He had only walked halfway up the stairs when he saw a figure jumping down on him.

Gu Huaidong's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick, subconsciously he stretched out his hand to grab it, and the other firmly grasped the handle of the stairs and caught the person.

When Li Rui went downstairs, his feet were so numb that he almost lost consciousness, and he couldn't step on a step firmly, and he couldn't grasp the handrail with his hands.

Li Rui thought that he would definitely fall down the stairs, so he closed his eyes and waited for the pain to come, but he didn't expect to crash into a warm embrace in the end.

Li Rui raised his head. With night blindness, he couldn't see the face of the person who caught him clearly, but Li Rui knew who it was right away.

Sure enough, the next moment he heard a familiar voice and thought angrily: "Li Rui, what are you doing! Are you dying?"

Gu Huaidong was so frightened by Li Rui that he almost had a heart attack.

Even though he hugged Li Rui firmly, the heart in his chest was still beating non-stop.

Gu Huaidong held Li Rui in his arms and immediately regretted it.

Shouldn't he be using this method?

In fact, Wang Yundong's family won't be able to make big waves if they try again, so Gu Huaidong can keep him in check.

But this feeling of remorse lasted only for a moment.

Gu Huaidong immediately remembered some things from his previous life.

If that family stays, they won't make Li Rui sad too much in the future.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

Gu Huaidong gritted his teeth, thinking that these words are very suitable for himself.

Although seeing Li Rui's current state, his heart really hurts, but it's better than feeling like a woman's menstruation every once in a while!

Gu Huaidong admitted that he was selfish.

Gu Huaidong walked downstairs with Li Rui half in his arms, and led Li Rui directly to his bicycle.

According to his original script, he should act as if he doesn't know anything now, and ask Li Rui what's wrong.

But when things came to an end, Gu Huaidong realized that he couldn't do it at all.

Under the street lamp, Li Rui's usually bright eyes were now dimmed.

Li Rui looked numb all over.

Gu Huaidong took a deep breath, told himself that he had done nothing wrong, and then asked Li Rui, "Will you go home with me?"

"Go home?" Li Rui turned to look at Gu Huaidong, with a little confusion on his face.

"Yes, come home with me."

After hearing Gu Huaidong's affirmation, Li Rui didn't respond any more.

Gu Huaidong took out his mobile phone, called the driver, and asked the driver to bring the car over immediately.

He took everything into consideration, but he underestimated how much Li Rui cared about Zhang Hongqin's family.

Obviously Zhang Hongqin's family didn't treat Li Rui well at all.

He thought Li Rui wanted to leave his aunt's house.

Gu Huaidong had never experienced it personally, so of course he couldn't understand Li Rui's feelings.

First of all, no matter how precocious Li Rui behaved, he was still not an adult after all.

Although Zhang Hongqin's family treated Li Rui badly, they gave Li Rui a place to hide for nearly ten years.

Not to mention that Zhang Hongqin really loved this nephew when she was young.

Of course, Li Rui's feelings for his aunt's family were complicated.

So this time Zhang Hongqin's family suddenly left him behind, which dealt a great blow to Li Rui.

While watching Li Rui, Gu Huaidong anxiously waited for the driver to arrive.

The driver was on standby nearby and came quickly.Gu Huaidong still felt that he was slow.

As soon as the driver's car stabilized, Gu Huaidong stuffed Li Rui into the car.

Although Li Rui didn't speak, he didn't struggle either.

Gu Huaidong carefully hugged Li Rui: "Li Rui, I will take you home now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dull expression on Li Rui's face suddenly burst.

Two lines of tears rolled down Li Rui's eyes.

"I have no home. Gu Huaidong. I have no home..." Li Rui burst into tears.

Gu Huaidong hugged Li Rui, stroked Li Rui's back with his hands, comforted him, and signaled the driver to slow down.

Seeing Li Rui crying, Gu Huaidong was completely relieved.

"Li Rui, cry if you want." Gu Huaidong hoped that Li Rui could vent his emotions.

The driver drove the car without looking sideways, slowly circling the road.

The night wind blowing in from the car window was chilly.

Gu Huaidong wrapped up Li Rui who was exhausted from crying and fell asleep with his coat, and asked the driver to drive back to the apartment.

Gu Huaidong hugged Li Rui tightly, making him lean as comfortably as possible.

He kissed Li Rui lightly on the forehead.

Li Rui, I'm sorry.I will give you back a home.

Li Rui, I will never make you so sad again.
