It turned out that Qing Qing woke up from sleep.
She was wrapped in a quilt and was struggling to reach out her small hand at this time, trying to reach Gu Lan’s big hand.
Gu Lan silently looked at the little hand that kept working hard, and slightly tentatively stretched out his big hand forward, and then the little hand held his hand tightly.
“Qingqing doesn’t hate brother.”
For fear that Gu Lan would not believe it, Qingqing repeated it anxiously: “Qingqing likes her brother the most. In the future… when Qingqing grows up, she will take him to the amusement park, buy candy for him, and pay for what he wants……”
Qing Qing originally had a lot to say, but under tension, she actually forgot all of them.
She looked at Gu Lan’s face blankly, whimpered, and wanted to cry again.
“Why are you wronged? I didn’t say I blamed you, little cry baby”
With his long arm, he hugged Qingqing across the table. Gu Lan said in disgust, but unambiguously held his expensive shirt cuffs to wipe her tears.
After wiping it in carefully, he habitually took out a candy from his pocket and stuffed it into Qingqing’s hand, and he didn’t peel the candy paper for her.
“Tang Tang!” Sure enough, the child is so easy to coax.
Qing Qing, who got the candy, lowered her head and peeled the candy happily, forgetting what she was crying before.
Fortunately, the candy Gu Lan gave was not sealed, but simply wrapped in a layer of sugar paper. Qing Qing played with it slowly for a long time. After all the hard work, she finally saved the sugar from the sugar paper.
Then it was eaten.
“Second Young Master, there is actually one thing that the old lady has never told you.”
While Qingqing was indulging in the delicacy of candy, Granny Ding hesitated and said to Gu Lan.
“If Aunt Ding has something to say, you can say it straight.”
Gu Lan admitted that he had already subverted many of his previous wrong impressions of his sister, but now that it is subverted a little bit, it is actually nothing.
“Do you know why Gu’s family has stopped walking with those side relatives now?”
“Because my cousins bullied me before.”
When it comes to this matter, Gu Lan still has some impressions.
When he was young, he was not seen by his parents and sisters at home, so many outsiders mistakenly thought he was not favored or bullied.
Among them are two cousins from his mother’s family.
Those two cousins were spoiled by the family, habitually insulting others, and they had to be held by everyone around them.
Gu Lan has never had a good temper since he was a child. Once he met them, it was inevitable that both sides would have conflicts.
Gu Lan no longer remembered how the dispute started later. He remembered that he was pushed into the swimming pool at home when he was only eight years old, and he was framed that he fell into it because he was playful.
Not only did he develop a high fever afterwards, he was also scolded by his parents.
At this point, Gu Lan was completely disappointed with his parents, and no longer wanted to get any love from them.
But then the relatives of the Gu family somehow didn’t contact their family.
At first, Gu Lan didn’t think deeply about the reason, only vaguely knew that it should be related to the matter of being bullied by his cousins.
Now when he heard Granny Ding mentioned it, he realized that there might be something hidden in it.
Granny Ding didn’t immediately answer. She looked at the Qing Qing in Gu Lan’s arms, and the smile on her face suddenly became hearty and proud.
“Hahaha… don’t you know that the eldest lady back then was terrible. After knowing that you were being bullied, she went directly to the school of the two girls who bullied you, dragged them from the classroom to the toilet, and drove the faucet on. Taking a bath, she said that since their minds were not clear, she helped them clear up.”
“…” Gu Lan.
He had always known that his sister is very cruel, but he didn’t expect to be so cruel.
“Not only this time, but later anyone who dared to say something ill of you was ruthlessly cleaned up by the lady in private. After a long time, don’t those people have to avoid it?”
After all, bullying is very wrong, but is it still important?
This time Gu Lan’s expression was so complicated that he couldn’t describe it. He looked down at the Qing Qing in his arms.
The little guy with bulging cheeks, still eating sweets, bored with her hands and playing with his two big hands, and counted one, two, three, four, five and six with his ten fingers, but she could always miss a seven. In the end, she counted nine no matter what and did not understand.
So stupid…
He has been protected by such a stupid person for so many years without knowing it. In fact, he is the more stupid person, right?
“Second Young Master…”
It wasn’t until Granny Ding’s cautious voice sounded that Gu Lan later realized the wetness on his face.
“Brother is crying!” Qingqing also noticed, “and still laughing?”
She tilted her little head puzzled, Qingqing didn’t quite understand why Gu Lan wanted to cry and laugh.
But this does not affect her comforting people: “Don’t cry, brother, crying is ugly.”
The little hand wiped down Gu Lan’s face in an attempt to wipe off his tears, but she wiped more and more clumsily. In the end, Qingqing couldn’t help turning her head in a panic to ask Granny Ding for help.
“Aunt Ding, my brother is crying, please coax him.”
This sentence seems familiar. It seems a long, long time ago, whenever Gu Lan was crying, Qingqing would beg Granny Ding to help him.
But this time, Granny Ding just shook her head gently and said, “It’s okay, the second young master is just too happy.”
“Why cry when you are happy?”
This problem is obviously not within the scope of children’s knowledge reserve.
“This… Qingqing will understand when she grows up.”
Qingqing pouted, opened her arms and gestured to Granny Ding to show her: “Qingqing is already a big child, very very big.”
Granny Ding couldn’t help but chuckle cutely by Qingqing: “Then it can be longer.”
