The enemy of rebirth is always playing tricks on me

"I killed her."

Gu Yixiao's slightly trembling voice made Jian Lingling wake up instantly, and her heart that had been gradually let go was raised again.Just as she was frantically searching for words to respond to in her mind, Gu Yixiao's cold voice brought her back to reality.

"Do you want to...listen to me?"

Her face showed a rare desire to talk, as well as a sense of anxiety and pain.All kinds of emotions were intertwined and expressed on her face, making the originally beautiful and immature face abruptly show a vicissitudes of life.

This old-fashioned look is very similar to the Gu Yixiao she met in her previous life... However, that Gu Yixiao never showed such strong emotions in front of outsiders.

Maybe it's because I haven't had anyone to confide in for too long, so I buried these emotions deeply in my heart, and then I became the indifferent look later.

Thinking of this, Jian Lingling felt a little bit bitter in her heart, as soon as she grasped Gu Yixiao's hand, Gu Yixiao flinched slightly, did not resist, and looked at her expectantly.

"Speak, no matter what you say, I am willing to listen." Because she has no experience of comforting others, she is destined to only be a dedicated listener, Jian Lingling thought very sadly in her heart.

"My mother, she is the person who loves me the most in this world." Gu Yixiao, who had calmed down at the moment, began to gently talk about this dusty past.

It turned out that Gu Yixiao's mother, that gentle beauty, was not a perfect mother in Gu Yixiao's heart.Her first husband was not Gu Xiyun either.

In the quiet space, time passed slowly, accompanied by Gu Yixiao's soft narration, and the sound of the clock ticking.

Gu Yixiao's mother was betrothed by her family to a big family at first, and she gave birth to a son, Gu Yixiao's elder brother, but she had never met him and didn't know his name. I heard it in my mother's description.

However, in less than two years, Gu's mother got divorced, and her son was sentenced to the husband. Not long after, she met Gu Xiyun, and unexpectedly, she became pregnant with Gu Yixiao immediately.

...Afterwards, Gu Yixiao's parents got married, and Gu Xiyun loved Gu's mother very much—the eldest lady of the Cheng family, Cheng Suxin.But Cheng Suxin seemed to be obsessed with that old lover.Gu Yixiao's aunt is Cheng Suxin's closest friend in this family. Every time Gu Xiyun is away, Cheng Suxin will talk to Gu Jingyi to talk to Gu Jingyi. It is nothing more than longing for a free life... Every time Gu Jingyi persuades her, she Can't listen to it either.

"Unexpectedly, after giving birth to me, she suffered from postpartum depression, so when I was young, she never had time to care about me. She may be pursuing her own 'freedom'." At this point, Gu Yixiao's voice A little bit of sarcasm.

Later, when Gu Yixiao grew up, Cheng Suxin's depression improved slightly, and she began to think of various ways to make up for the lack of care she had for her daughter in childhood, buying Gu Yixiao toys that children of the same age liked, and making some desserts that children liked Let Gu Yixiao eat it, among which she makes glutinous rice cakes most often.But those things are actually not what Gu Yixiao wants.

When talking about this, Jian Lingling's thoughts were a little distracted, and she thought of a very strange question - since Gu Yixiao didn't like to eat glutinous rice cakes, why did she eat them every time I gave her these snacks in her previous life? They all seemed very happy.

Then she felt relieved, probably because it represented that special person in her heart.

Those who complain, those who miss, those who never forget...

The one who left the deepest impact on her heart.

"What I didn't expect was that when I was seven years old, her depression relapsed. She began to resist taking medicine, and she pulled me to talk about her past every day."

"But I don't want to listen."

Jian Lingling gradually imagined such a scene, the young Gu Yixiao was forced to bear the emotions between those adults who did not belong to her, she was so bored in her heart that she couldn't understand, but she had to listen to those chattering.

She must be very tired like this.

"It's a pity that I don't understand her." There was an imperceptible tremor in her calm, almost indifferent voice. After a long time, she sighed, "That day, I told her, 'Since it's so painful, why don't you go Just die.' And the next day, she committed suicide by jumping from a [-]-story building."

"That day was her birthday."

"She's free at last."

Jian Lingling couldn't help but think of what she heard from the adults around her when she was a child, about the Miss Cheng's suicide and death due to depression after marriage.

When she was still young, she saw the interview with Gu Xiyun in the report. That gentle man kept chattering about how kind and generous his wife was, and he seemed a little crazy.And what impressed her most at that time was the little girl with black curly hair sitting beside her. The girl sat quietly beside her with a blank face. There was neither sadness nor joy on her face, as if she had been deprived of all five senses.

As the bell struck the hour, Gu Yixiao's narration also came to an end.

She sat with her head down, not knowing what to think.

"Are you sad..." Jian Lingling squeezed her palm.After all, no matter how he failed to fulfill his duties, he was also a mother, and he said that to her before he died... Gu Yixiao must be extremely blaming himself.

"Although it's a bit... well, it's not your fault. You shouldn't bear your whole life for it. Now, don't think about it so much. Get some sleep, okay?"

"..." Gu Yixiao also seemed a little tired, instead of responding to Jian Lingling's words, he leaned his head lightly on her shoulder.

"Yixiao...?" Seeing that Gu Yixiao didn't answer, Jian Lingling let her lean on her. After thinking for a while, she took off her coat and put it on the two of them, sitting quietly, not daring to have the slightest thought. movement.For fear of disturbing this angelic person.

So, when Gu Jingyi finally found the two of them in the attic compartment, what he saw was this scene——

Gu Yixiao nestled on Jian Lingling's shoulder, lowered her head, and fell asleep deeply, and Jian Lingling also gently leaned back against her niece. The two of them seemed to have a sense of "time is quiet and good".

"Okay, I've been looking for you two for so long, but you fell asleep soundly here, causing me to worry in vain." Gu Jingyi shook her head helplessly, unexpectedly, the sound of footsteps woke Jian Lingling, who was in a light sleep.

"Director Gu..." Jian Lingling glanced sleepily at Gu Jingyi, then made a silent gesture to her, and pointed to Gu Yixiao beside her with her other finger.

"Okay." Gu Jingyi almost laughed angrily. These two little things still care about each other so much, and this look of sympathy is so worrying, "Lunch is ready, Xiaoxiao will wake up later, remember?" Bring her down."

Seeing Jian Lingling made a "understand" gesture, Gu Jingyi was relieved and went downstairs.

As soon as Gu Jingyi left, Gu Yixiao woke up on her back. Looking at the marks she had left on Jian Lingling, she looked away unnaturally, and said, "Let's go down, it should be almost afternoon now. .”

"Okay!" Jian Lingling immediately bounced up. She was hungry all morning and didn't have a good breakfast. Finally, she was able to eat a warm meal.

During lunch, everyone was very quiet, perhaps because of the trouble in the morning, they were not interested in chatting, and even Jian Lingling, who was always very active, was a little unhappy.

Seemingly seeing that Jian Lingling was not in high spirits, after lunch, Gu Yixiao took her to the gate of the villa to welcome the "family members" who hadn't returned for a long time.

"Who is it? It must be a very interesting person for Mrs. Gu to come and greet her in person." Jianlingling said sourly, while secretly looking at Gu Yixiao's expression, trying to figure out something.

"You'll know when we get there." Gu Yixiao didn't seem to plan to say anything more, which made Jian Lingling, who had prepared a lot of witty words, feel a bit bored.

After a while, Uncle Liu's car drove up to the door, and he jumped out of the car with a "bang", with a kind smile on his face, "Miss, I've picked it up."

"Thank you, Uncle Liu."

Jian Lingling probed her head to see who was sitting in the car, but she saw Uncle Liu turn around and get out of the car with a bunch of furry things.

"Wow, so cute!" Jian Lingling shouted excitedly.

I saw a black and white fluffy cat lying on the blanket in Uncle Liu's hands. His emerald green pupils were as moving as the autumn water. Hearing Jian Lingling's call, he was poking his head out restlessly, but Uncle Liu pushed him back again.

"It's called Xiaoxiao, and I picked it up on the street a few months ago, when it was still a suckling cat." Gu Yixiao gave a concise introduction.

"Little...that's not with you..."

"Ahem." Uncle Liu on the side couldn't help coughing twice to hide his embarrassed smile when he heard this, "This name was chosen by the young lady herself."

"Huh?" Gu Yixiao glanced over indifferently.

"Your nickname..." Jian Lingling's voice became softer after receiving the signal from Gu Yixiao.

"Go back, it's a bit windy today, don't let Xiao Xiao freeze." After finishing speaking, Gu Yixiao took the cat from Uncle Liu's hand, hugged it in his arms, and turned around to leave.

After walking a few steps, she turned her head to see if Jian Lingling had followed.

Looking at the back with reddish ears, Jian Lingling thought, "How can Gu Yixiao be so cute, so cute... just like a cat."
