Although Gu Guangxian spoke, Du Xiaoxian stood there not daring to move, she was waiting for Gu Nianbin to speak.
The young master is so kind to her, how could he burn his girlfriend? Du Xiaoxian couldn't even beat Du Xiaoxian to death, but she just did it, and she did it so directly.
Finally Uncle Shaw asked her to work in the hall, and she wanted to show everyone her hard work, but in the end... all messed up. She is so stupid, how could she stumble suddenly? Are you too nervous? She is usually nervous when she sees a handsome and noble woman, but this time it is the young master's girlfriend, so she is even more nervous. The more you want to perform well, the more you make mistakes.
What made her most uneasy was the young master. He hadn't said a word, why didn't he scold her, just scold her a few times like Madam, so that she would feel better.
"What are you doing here, get down!" Seeing that she was not moving, Fang Yaru raised her voice angrily. Everything was fine at first, but it was all ruined by this Du Xiaoxian.
Du Xiaoxian lowered his head in a daze, but was startled by Fang Yaru's voice and took two steps back, and raised his head involuntarily. She saw Gu Nianbin frowning slightly, looking at her thoughtfully. Du Xiaoxian's calf became weak from fear, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't even make a sound.
A Ling came over quietly, dragged Du Xiaoxian into the kitchen, and asked her in a low voice: "Are you okay?"
Du Xiaoxian shook her head, what can she do? It wasn't her who was being burned. But there was a burning pain on the back of her hand, she lowered her head to see, it turned out that some of the glass of water had been spilled on her hand just now.
A Ling picked up her hand and looked at it carefully: "Yeah, you said it's okay, it's a big red spot, I'll get medicated oil to rub it on for you."
Du Xiaoxian quickly pulled out his hand, stretched it under the faucet and rushed, and said softly: "It's not in the way."
A Ling knew that she was feeling uncomfortable, and comforted her: "Xiao Xian, it's okay, just be more careful next time, Miss Xia is the young master's girlfriend, she won't blame you."
But Du Xiaoxian blamed herself very much, she blamed herself to death. The young master is so kind to her, but what has she done! The young master must be very disappointed.
Seeing her like this, A Ling comforted her a few more words and let her go back to her room. The little girl is timid, so it may take several days to recover from this incident.
Du Xiaoxian went out of the kitchen, but didn't go back to her room. She went out through the side door, went around the house, got into the low bushes, and sat on the edge of the flower bed. This is her favorite place to stay. You can see the front yard from here sculpture of a bathing girl.
The moonlight poured down like water, and the clear light enveloped the sculpture. The bather girl looked holy and serene, with lowered eyebrows and eyes only looking at the water bottle in her hand. A thin stream of water flowed out from the mouth of the bottle, and fell into the pool below, splashing fine water. . A courtyard lamp just shone on the edge of the pool. In the light, the tiny water threads were also dyed, forming orange water flowers, which was very beautiful.
Du Xiaoxian stared blankly, but his mind was blank. Suddenly, there was a sound from the hall, and she quickly lowered her head and hid herself in the shadows. She heard the voices of Xia Xiaowan and Fang Yaru, they were saying goodbye, but she couldn't hear Gu Nianbin's voice. Du Xiaoxian was very disturbed, the young master must be angry, angry with her, so he didn't even want to say anything. From now on, he won't care about her anymore, won't he let her go to school? Will you just drive her out? If she was really driven away, she would not complain, it was her who messed up the matter, and it was all her fault!
But she is not willing to come here, the people here are all kind to her, Master, Madam, Miss, Uncle Xiao, Sister A Ling, Lanzhi, Xiao Ding... The best thing for her is the young master... Her young master... The thought of leaving him , Du Xiaoxian's nose was sore, sadness came from it, tears flowed down, she actually seldom cried, maybe she cried too much when she was young, when she grew up, no matter how others bullied her, she didn't cry, She just stayed silent, and the second aunt sometimes couldn't help crying when she looked at her, but she didn't cry. The eyes were dry, without a drop of tears.
She didn't dare to cry, she sat in the dark and wept silently. After an unknown amount of time, a car light came over, and it was Gu Nianbin who had returned after sending Xia Xiaowan off.
Du Xiaoxian heard him get out of the car, and hurriedly walked towards the house. She listened carefully until the sound of his footsteps disappeared, and there was no more sound. Du Xiaoxian thought that he might have gone upstairs. At this time, there should be no one in the hall, and everyone went upstairs. She looked up at the sky, hoping that when she raised her head like this, the tears would stop flowing down her eyes. Her eyes were very astringent, and she didn't want to cry anymore. The swollen eyes were narrowed, and she was staring at the stars in the sky in a daze. Suddenly, a black shadow came in quickly. In the darkness, she could only see his eyes, which were brighter than the stars.
Du Xiaoxian stood up at once, the tears that had stopped flowing down again at that moment, "Young master, young master..."
Gu Nianbin looked at her for a while, his breathing suddenly became heavy, Du Xiaoxian shrank into a ball in fear, is the young master trying to settle accounts with her
But Gu Nianbin didn't say anything, stood there panting for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "Why are you crying?"
Du Xiaoxian sniffed, and apologized to him through sobbing: "I'm sorry, young master... I was wrong, I didn't mean to... I'm really... sorry... woo... I..." She cried very depressed and spoke incoherently.
Gu Nianbin hugged her tightly, but still didn't speak. After a while, he relaxed and patted her on the back lightly: "Okay, don't cry, your eyes are swollen."
Du Xiaoxian shook his head, feeling more and more guilty, the young master didn't scold her, why didn't the young master scold her
"Don't cry!" Gu Nianbin's voice sank, Du Xiaoxian's crying followed, and she really stopped crying. She was still afraid of the young master from the bottom of her heart, as long as Gu Nianbin showed a slight anger, her mind would immediately go blank. Just follow orders.
Gu Nianbin let go of her, raised his hand to wipe her tears, Du Xiaoxian turned her head, she didn't want to dirty Gu Nianbin's hands. He lowered his head and took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped his face clean. It was just a thin gasp that couldn't stop. Gu Nianbin stroked her back a few more times, and after she calmed down, he asked, "Tell me why you are crying?"
Du Xiaoxian lowered his head and mumbled, "I, I did something wrong."
"It's just a small accident, no one blames you." Gu Nianbin pulled her to sit down, "Have you been sitting here for a long time?" He touched her hand again: "Hands are cold, don't sit outside for so long in the future, think Stay alone, go to my study, you know?"
Du Xiaoxian looked up at him: "Master, why don't you scold me? You scold me, so I can feel better."
"I know you didn't do it on purpose, so I won't scold you." Gu Nianbin turned his face sideways, and with the faint light, Du Xiaoxian saw that his expression was a little strange, but she couldn't tell why it was so strange.
"Madam said a few words to you, don't take it to heart, she has a sharp mouth and bean curd heart, once she said it, she would forget it."
"No, Madam is right, she should say mine." Du Xiaoxian said anxiously: "I, I won't take it to heart."
"That's good." Gu Nianbin pulled her up: "Let's go, go back to the house to rest, and you have to go to school tomorrow."
Du Xiaoxian didn't expect the matter to be revealed so easily, her uneasiness magnified instead, she bit her lip and said: "Then, Miss Xia...wouldn't you blame me?"
"No," Gu Nianbin lifted her out of the bushes and led her into the house. After entering the hall, Du Xiaoxian waved to him: "Master, I'm going back to my room."
Just as Gu Nianbin was about to nod, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He picked up the hand she was waving to look at, and his gaze turned cold: "What happened? Did it just now..."
Du Xiaoxian withdrew his hand, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Gu Nianbin's face was still not very good-looking, and he dragged her to go upstairs. Du Xiaoxian didn't know what he was going to do, but she could see that he was angry, and she didn't know what he was angry about. I was so anxious that I almost ran all the way to keep up with his pace.
Gu Nianbin took her to the bedroom, sat down on the sofa, turned around and found an ointment in the chest, and gently applied it on the back of her hand. The ointment is cool and refreshing, and it is very comfortable to cover the hot skin. Du Xiaoxian saw Gu Nianbin's light hands and feet, and suddenly his nose became sore and his eyes turned red.
Probably hearing the noise, Gu Nianbin looked up at her, still with a straight face, "Your hand was burned too, why didn't you tell me?"
His gaze was too sharp, Du Xiaoxian was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe out, so he lowered his head and said after a while, "It's okay, I have thick skin and I'm very hot."
Gu Nianbin was so angry that he laughed instead, and slapped her uninjured hand hard: "It doesn't hurt, does it?"
This time he really used some strength, Du Xiaoxian grinned in pain, but insisted: "It doesn't hurt!"
Gu Nianbin sighed and said: "Xiaoxian, you have to learn to protect yourself. Pain is pain. You can't force yourself to say it doesn't hurt. If you get hurt, hide it from everyone. What's wrong with you? It will be you who will suffer at that time, you know?"
Du Xiaoxian nodded, and then honestly admitted: "It hurts a little."
Gu Nianbin asked her: "Is it the pain from the burn, or the pain from my beating?"
Du Xiaoxian looked at his two red hands and said, "It hurts."
Gu Nianbin smiled, rubbed her hair, and said: "Xiaoxian, when you grow up, one day you will leave here and me to find your own life. I hope that before that, you will learn to Protect yourself. Don't let yourself get hurt. This is very important. Only by doing this can you prove that you have really grown up."
Du Xiaoxian looked into Gu Nianbin's eyes, and nodded cautiously: "Master, I understand. I will protect myself, don't worry."
Gu Nianbin also nodded: "That's right, that's fine, you go to rest. Come to me tomorrow morning and apply the ointment again."
"Okay," Du Xiaoxian raised his hand and smelled the ointment, then smiled at Gu Nianbin: "It's very fragrant."
"Go," Gu Nianbin looked at her amused, and suddenly remembered to ask: "Are you helping your classmates on duty again today?"
"Well," Du Xiaoxian nodded: "Her hand hurts, I have to help her."
"Don't help me tomorrow, your own hands hurt too. Do you understand?"
Du Xiaoxian let out a groan, and looked at his hands again, it was just a little hot, now that the ointment was applied, nothing happened, how could it still hurt? However, Gu Nianbin's words were an imperial decree to her, and she never thought of disobeying them.
