The enemy of rebirth is always playing tricks on me

"Those who miss..."

Or Gu Yixiao's close relative?Jian Lingling faintly realized something, but she didn't dare to continue to say it, for fear of puncturing the thin layer of embarrassing relationship.

Thinking about it this way, this person is probably...

"She is Xiaoxiao's mother who passed away." Gu Jingyi sighed and did not continue, but Jian Lingling also understood.Unsurprisingly, who is important enough to be placed in the hall to commemorate but is never mentioned by everyone by default, it must be the deceased relatives and loved ones.

She secretly regretted her recklessness just now, and when she wanted to say something to change this heavy topic, she heard a middle-aged man's steady voice coming from behind.

"You must be Lingling."

Jian Lingling turned around, only to see a middle-aged man with a benevolent brow and a kind face showing a gentle smile on her and Gu Jingyi's face behind him.

"Brother?" Gu Jingyi was a little surprised. Didn't her elder brother never like to eavesdrop on people behind his back?

Fortunately, Gu Xiyun looked as if nothing had happened, it didn't seem like he had been eavesdropping for a long time, on the contrary, he appeared by chance, he nodded slightly, and smiled at Jian Lingling, "She looks like a clever little girl."

Jian Lingling put on a cute look: "Hello, Uncle Gu."

Gu Xiyun smiled and nodded in response, showing a somewhat refined temperament on his face.He unhurriedly greeted Jian Lingling to go back to the side room and sit down, and asked Gu Jingyi to bring someone back to fetch some refreshments.

After everyone was seated, Mr. Gu burned a stick of incense before opening his mouth again.

"Xiao Xiao, aren't you going to introduce your new friend?"

Gu Yixiao and Jian Lingling looked at each other for a second, then looked away, and said a little awkwardly, "She... is my roommate."

"Just roommates?" Gu Xiyun smiled, with loving eyes on his face, "This is the first time you brought a friend home after that..." He lowered his voice as he spoke, as only two people could hear The voice that came said, "I thought this little girl meant something different to you, she was a more important person."

"Father..." Gu Yixiao's face changed slightly. At this moment, Jian Lingling took a piece of glutinous rice cakes and handed them to her bowl, looking at her with flattering and expectant eyes.

Gu Yixiao looked at the glutinous rice cakes in the bowl, suddenly became slightly stiff, and then replied coldly, "I don't like to eat this."

"……what?"

Seeing Jian Lingling with a bewildered expression, Gu Yixiao calmed down and repeated, "I don't like sweets, and I don't like glutinous rice cakes either."

But you used to clearly... Jian Lingling swallowed her unspoken words.What do you mean before, Gu Yixiao didn't even know what kind of entanglements she had with her, all of these were memories that belonged only to her.

Thinking of this, she was a little confused, so the Gu Yixiao in the previous life looked so similar to the present one, even the habits of retention were exactly the same.But for some reason, there is a slight difference. It stands to reason that Gu Yixiao has never experienced anything that would change her, but why, they have become roommates or even good friends by accident in this life. She felt... Gu Yixiao's character was also somewhat unpredictable to her.

The person who I thought I knew very well suddenly became so unfamiliar, and Jian Lingling's mood suddenly became a little bad.

Gu Xiyun seemed to see that Jian Lingling was in a bad mood, and comforted her, "Don't mind, this little child is like this, hard-spoken and soft-hearted. In fact, she didn't like eating sweets made by her mother very much before, but her mother I love making glutinous rice cakes..."

"I'm full." Gu Yixiao suddenly interrupted Gu Xiyun's words extremely coldly, got up and tidied up, then took his leave and left, leaving a few elders sitting there staring blankly.

After Gu Jingyi talked, Jian Lingling finally came to her senses, got up in a hurry, and said to the two elders apologetically, "I'll go and see Yixiao..." Then she hurried towards the direction Gu Yixiao left.

After the two juniors left, Gu Jingyi gave Gu Xiyun a helpless look, and said with a little dissatisfaction, "Brother, you know that Xiaoxiao doesn't like you mentioning her mother the most, why do you keep provoking her like this?"

Gu Xiyun smiled wryly, and said with a somewhat irrelevant answer, "It's been so many years... I've never felt that Su Xin left, I always feel that she's still by my side..."

Gu Jingyi shook his head.

I really can't stand it anymore, it's okay for the small ones to be like this, and it's the same for the big ones, this family is really...

On the other side, Jian Lingling followed Gu Yixiao up to the second floor, but she was nowhere to be found. She was anxious secretly, but suddenly heard a low gasp.

She walked over and saw that in a small cubicle, Gu Yixiao was curling herself into a ball, covering her head with her hands, her body trembling slightly from time to time, as if caught in some painful memory.

Her eyes, in the dark compartment, were surprisingly bright, but extremely cloudy. For the first time, a strong emotion called resentment was revealed in those clear eyes.

"...Yi Xiao?" Jian Lingling didn't dare to call out loudly, so she could only softly call her name.

Gu Yixiao seemed to be completely immersed in his own world, and had never heard of Jian Lingling's calling.

Jian Lingling walked in with some fear—you must know that she has never been afraid of anything in her life, not even the big yellow dog at the door and the counselor with the coffin face can't scare her, why did she fall on this one? Gu Yixiao is on him!

Gu Yixiao seemed to finally realize that someone was approaching, stretched out his white and slender arms and scratched in the air, and finally threw himself on Jian Lingling who was walking past.

"Yi Xiao? Are you okay?" Jian Lingling patted her on the back reassuringly, suppressing the fear in her heart.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that Gu Yixiao was like a child abandoned by the world, desperately in need of comfort, or someone who was about to drown in the sea, who grabbed a piece of driftwood and never let go.

She hugged Gu Yixiao back with some amusement, feeling her soft hair brushing against her face.

"...Lingling..." After a while, the person in his arms finally calmed down, and began to call her name softly.

"Well, I'm here."

Gu Yixiao took a few breaths, calmed down, and slowly let go of Jian Lingling's arms.She lowered her head, remained silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "I don't like glutinous rice cakes."

"...Huh?" Jian Lingling suppressed her curiosity and quietly waited for Gu Yixiao to continue.

If she doesn't want to talk, she won't ask.

"But she always does it for me..."

she……?Gu Yixiao's mother?

Could it be that Gu Yixiao was so sad because he thought of her mother?

"When I was young, she would sing me nice lullabies." Gu Yixiao suddenly started talking about the past, with a hint of confusion in his tone, as if he was lost in memories.

"She always makes me a lot of sweets, and I pretend to eat them obediently every time."

"I vomited it all up afterward."

"She never knew that I didn't like those sweets at all."

"Until she...she didn't know."

While talking, Jian Lingling became a little sleepy. In the darkness, she sat down against the corner of the wall, and quietly listened to Gu Yixiao who was also leaning against the wall.

This is probably the most words she has said in her life... Jian Lingling thought in a daze, and suddenly, a word made her wake up in an instant.

"I killed her."

hmmmm?

Gu Yixiao, killed her mother?
