Gong Yao looked up at her, then lowered his head to fiddle with his bow and arrow. After a long time, he raised his head again, staring straight at her with a pair of black eyes, and asked, "Why are there always so many bad people?"
“…”
Shi Xiaonian was speechless and couldn't answer.
"Why can't we beat all the bad guys?" Gong Yao continued to ask, "Will Xiaokui and I have to stay here from now on, and we can't go back to England or go home?"
The child's worries made Shi Xiaonian a little flustered. She looked at him and said gently, "That's not the case, Holy, we won't be here forever."
"If we want to hide, should we hide the children from bad families? Are they living a better life than us?" Gong Yao looked at her and asked, his dark eyes were inherited from Gong Ou, and his eyes were very deep. Gong Yao had many eyes. A little clearer.
Incredible clarity.
It was the first time that Shi Xiaonian heard Gong Yao mention this. He was not a child who was willing to talk to others. To be able to say such things must have been hidden in his heart for a long time.
He was tired of living like this.
But how could she tell him that they would be leaving here soon? In fact, she didn't even know how long they would stay.
She doesn't know the rest of Gong Ou's plan, she doesn't know anything.
Shi Xiaonian sat there helplessly, unable to find any usable answer to tell Gong Yao.
At this moment, an electronic sound suddenly sounded in the room, "You should ask your father this kind of question."
“…”
When Shi Xiaonian turned her eyes, she saw Mr. Gong, who had been following her, stand up and sit down on the carpet next to Gong Yao.
The side hall was quiet except for Mr. Gong's voice, "The cause of this matter is that your father provoked his enemies. He was responsible for everything, so you shouldn't ask your mother."
"Mr. Palace..."
Shi Xiaonian looked at Mr Gong with some surprise. In its setting, it had always been respectful to Gong Ou, but it actually said such words. Could it have exceeded its autonomy too much? It had never been like this before.
Hearing this, Gong Yao lowered his eyes and fiddled with the bow and arrow with his little hands. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, his slightly low but clean and childish voice said, "I can't ask him."
That tone was exactly the same as Shi Xiaonian's.
"Then you shouldn't ask your mother." Mr. Gong sat next to him and said, "She has many more worries than you."
When Gong Yao raised his head to look, Xiao Nian stood up from the ground and stood in front of her. His long curled eyelashes flickered, his mouth pursed a few times, and he whispered, "I won't ask anymore."
"Holy." Shi Xiaonian stretched out his hands to hold Gong Yao's small shoulders, "I'm sorry, dad and mom couldn't let you and your sister grow up in a completely safe and healthy environment. I'm really sorry. But you have to believe Dad, he is very smart, he can do anything, and he will come to pick you up."
Mr. Gong sat motionless.
Gong Yao met her gaze and suddenly asked, "Will something happen to him?"
This question made Shi Xiaonian's eyes tremble, "Why do you ask that?"
"Will there be a day when he can no longer protect us?" Gong Yao asked, his eyes full of doubts, "Then we can only hide here forever and never go out again."
"How is that possible? Your father is invincible." Shi Xiaonian comforted him and said, "You have to believe in him."
"Then do you miss him?"
“…”
Shi Xiaonian was speechless. Gong Yao seemed to have a lot to say tonight, and she couldn't even answer every question she asked.
"You used to say his name several times when you were with us, but you never mentioned it again after you got here." Gong Yao looked at her and said, "Will he really come to pick us up?"
Gong Yao is so sensitive.
He even thought that she didn't talk about Gong Ou because Gong Ou would not come to pick them up, and they would always hide and live in the shadow of danger.
Shi Xiaonian nodded firmly, "He will definitely come to pick you up. Trust him, he loves you more than life."
Gong Yao looked at her and didn't know if he understood. He just nodded without saying anything more, "I'm going back to my room to sleep, Mom, good night."
"Good night."
Shi Xiaonian pressed a gentle kiss on his little face. Gong Yao took a few steps back, bowed his head politely to her while holding the bow and arrow, and then turned and left.
Shi Xiaonian looked at his little figure and did not choose to accompany him. She was afraid that he would ask some more questions for her to solve on the way.
She was as confused as he was about the future.
She couldn't see the direction, she couldn't even see the way out here, let alone what the outside world had developed into.
"Why you?"
A voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
"What?"
Shi Xiaonian looked at Mr. Gong's blue eyes in confusion.
"You just told him that Mr. Gong will come to pick you up, twice." Mr. Gong sat there and said, "Do you think Mr. Gong will not come to pick you up?"
"I never thought that."
Shi Xiaonian lowered her eyes and said, stood up from the sofa and left, her long eyelashes hiding the emotions in her eyes.
"Then why did you say that?"
Mr. Gong also stood up from the carpet.
Shi Xiaonian bit her lip and said, "Mr. Gong, don't say those words in front of Holy in the future, and don't affect Gong Ou's image in his mind. He is very uneasy, do you understand? He needs strong power to support him, Gong Ou is that force."
Without Gong Ou, how could they be so safe now, and how could they have so many people protecting them.
"What about you?" Mr. Gong asked again, "What do you think of Mr. Gong?"
For so long, under Shi Xiaonian's deliberate evasion, almost no one mentioned Gong Ou in front of her, but Mr. Gong mentioned it again and again, and pointedly.
enough.
That's enough.
She didn't want to hear it, she didn't want to think about it, she just wanted to be manipulated and stayed here so hopelessly, not thinking about the future or the future, she didn't want to hear it at all.
"Mr. Gong, why are you so talkative now?"
Shi Xiaonian looked at it with some irritation, "I know you have a sense of autonomy. If you no longer regard me as your master, you don't have to force yourself to follow me. I already have enough things to worry about, and I don't want to add any more. This is yours."
Her tone suddenly became extremely anxious, as if someone had said something to her mind, and her emotions were a little difficult to control.
“…”
Mr. Gong stood there silently.
When Xiaonian turned around and left, there were steady footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Mr. Gong still following her.
"Why are you still following me? I don't want to answer you, and I don't want to see you acting out of control now. Get out of here!" Shi Xiaonian vented all his negative emotions on Mr. Gong.
The robot has no emotions. She is now a burden to everyone. She will hurt everyone, but the robot will not be hurt.
She could only vent to it, letting out the emotions she had been suppressing.
"I'll leave after the master falls asleep."
Mr. Gong stood there and said, it was obviously a featureless electronic sound with no ups and downs in his tone.
But with just a few simple words, Shi Xiaonian suddenly felt that he had done something bad, and the uncontrollable guilt surged up again.
She was careful every day, for fear of hurting the people around her again. Now, she might have even hurt the robot.
"sorry."
Standing in front of Mr. Gong, Shi Xiaonian pressed her eyebrows in pain.
She has now made apology a mantra.
"Master, you are in a very confused mood." Mr. Gong said, "You can talk to me, I am the best listener."
It's very messy.
It was so chaotic that she couldn't figure it out.
"I don't want to talk to anyone. I won't lose my temper in the future. Let's go back to the room." Shi Xiaonian shook her head in refusal and was about to leave when a flash of red suddenly came into her eyes.
She looked over strangely and saw blood staining the joints of Mr. Gong's silver arm. She stared blankly, "This blood..."
Mr. Gong lowered his eyes and followed her gaze and said, "It's Mr. Mu's blood. It was stained when I was carrying him."
Mu Qianchu's blood
Did she remember it wrong? With the position of his back at that time, Mu Qianchu's blood should not be able to flow to this position.
Shi Xiaonian stood in front of it, and slowly raised her hand to touch its arm. It was cold and without any warmth, and her fingertips were soon stained with dark red blood.
Looking at the bright red, Shi Xiaonian blinked, thoughtfully.
"Master, it's very late. Go back to your room and rest."
Mr Gong said.
Shi Xiaonian stood there for a long time before nodding, "Okay."
That night, Shi Xiaonian didn't sleep well. The baby in her belly kicked her twice, knocking her out of sleep. She lay half-lying against the head of the bed, thinking a lot.
Many pictures floated before her, she thought, but she couldn't grasp the key point.
The moonlight kept shining in front of the window.
After the Mr. Palace poured her two cups of hot milk, she gradually began to feel sleepy and lay down to sleep, but she woke up again before dawn.
She was lying alone on the huge bed, looking at the darkened room with her eyes open. She was wide awake and not sleepy at all.
This wouldn't work, she had to get enough sleep for the sake of the child in her belly.
Shi Xiaonian sat up from the bed and reached out to press the switch of the desk lamp. The soft light spread in the bedroom without dazzling her eyes. She looked at the empty cup on the bedside table and prepared to get out of bed to pour milk.
His body moved slightly, and his lower back suddenly became sore.
Shi Xiaonian frowned and held her waist, enduring the pain caused by pregnancy. Suddenly she thought of someone else in the room. She turned around to look for Mr. Gong, "Mr. Gong, help me pour..."
Mr. Gong was not standing in front of the window.
Shi Xiaonian looked around and finally saw it by the wall. It was sitting on the ground with its back against the wall, one leg curled up and one foot against the edge of the bed. Its eyes were dull, and its head and back were pressed against the cold wall. , motionless, as if sleeping and resting.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian froze there for a few seconds, then lifted the quilt and got out of bed, walked to Mr. Palace and slowly squatted down, looked at it, and waved his hand in front of its eyes.
Nothing happened. (To be continued)
