In the emergency room, the nurse on duty was responsible for treating Xiaoli's wound. Before the sterilized cotton swab even touched the white and tender forehead, she started crying: "What are you doing... I want my dad."
He Sui Chen had just come in with the payment slip. When the child heard this, he became so anxious that he couldn't even speak clearly.
Then, he walked over and picked up the little guy on the stretcher, and coaxed him gently and patiently: "Be good, Daddy is here."
Little Li'er hugged He Suichen's neck tightly with her little hands as if she had seen a savior, and said in a soft voice with a little nasal tone: "Why did you come just now? The baby is scared to death..."
He Sui Chen had just gone to pay the fee and comfort Gu Qingwu who was afraid to watch her child being treated for the wound. He was a few minutes late. Now he had to comfort the child again. He raised his left arm to block the cotton swab that the nurse was trying to pass over, indicating that it should be given to him.
Xiaoli'er hates being touched on the face, but if it's her father, she can barely tolerate it.
He Sui Chen was very gentle from beginning to end. After lightly touching her forehead with the cotton swab, he would stop for a moment, blow on her forehead for a while, and then ask the little guy in a low voice before continuing to apply some medicine.
The nurse next to them had her eyes sparkling and had already recognized the father and daughter.
Unable to suppress her excitement, she secretly took out her phone and sent a message to the on-duty work group: "I'm so lucky today!!! I actually ran into Gu Qingwu's husband and daughter while on duty!"
Normally, everyone is exhausted after get off work and would complain about anything more. But tonight, it suddenly became as lively as the New Year holidays.
— "I know that Gu Qingwu has a husband, but when did she have a daughter? Don't lie to me, nurse xx."
— "It's normal to get married and have kids, right? But the media these days is getting worse and worse... How come there's no news at all?"
— "When Gu Qingwu held her wedding, she specially prepared a table for ten entertainment reporters. Is there any need to be suspicious? She must have established good relations with the media..."
— "Nurse xx, please take a picture and show it to everyone!"
The discussion in the group continued for more than ten minutes before the nurse replied, "I can't take secret photos... Anyway, it is 100% certain that this is Gu Qingwu's daughter. The little girl calls the goddess mom, and her face looks like they were carved from the same mold. They are so similar! The point is, Gu Qingwu's husband is so gentle to the child, and he is more patient than Li Shiren from the pediatric department next door..."
—"Hahahaha, if my daughter had a beautiful face like Gu Qingwu, I would also be very patient."
— "Wang upstairs... wake up."
He Suichen had bandaged Xiaoli'er's forehead. Fortunately, the wound was shallow and didn't need stitches. He looked pitiful, and the skin was red. He gently stroked it with his fingertips and asked in a coaxing tone, "Does it still hurt?"
The little carp moved his face forward to rub his well-defined jaw. This habit was exactly the same as Gu Qingwu's. He said in a crying voice, "Daddy, cuddle me."
He Suichen put his face close to hers, and patted her weak back with his palm: "Go out and apologize to your mother later. You scared her, you know?"
Little Li was a little guilty. He blinked his dark, watery eyes and asked softly, "Mom, do you hate me?"
"She loves you so much, how can she hate you?"
"I won't listen anymore."
"You don't have to be disobedient or make mistakes... Dad will grow up with you and teach you all the truths." He Suichen's educational method is very special. He never restricts his children to be obedient and sensible and not make any mistakes.
This little girl, who is less than two or three years old, has just come into this world. Why should we be so harsh on her
There were not many people in the hospital lobby at this time of year, and it was quiet and cold.
The disinfectant and the snow-white light made Gu Qingwu feel a little cold, the kind of cold that seeped through the bones. She raised her hand to touch her forehead and found it was slightly hot.
No wonder I felt exhausted and my body was a little shaky.
Time passed quietly, and the clock on the wall of the hall pointed to ten o'clock.
He Suichen appeared holding his daughter. His eyes accurately scanned the slender figure standing against the wall. When he walked over, Gu Qingwu subconsciously raised her hand to take her daughter, but he stopped her: "Your hand is injured, go home first."
Gu Qingwu's finger injury was only treated briefly and urgently. When she returned to the apartment, He Sui Chen took out the medical box and applied medicine to her again.
She sat on the soft and comfortable beige sofa in the living room, the crystal chandelier above her head shining down, dimly enveloping her figure.
With her long drooping eyelashes, she stared at the man who was half-squatting on the carpet. After a while, she looked at the row of bookcases. Fortunately, they were fixed in the wall, and only the thick books and decorations collapsed.
Several hours had passed, but Gu Qingwu still hadn't come back to her senses. She took a deep breath and said, "I don't even dare to think about it... What would happen if a whole row of bookshelves fell down? This kind of news has been reported overseas..."
He Sui Chen reached out and held her in his arms. At this moment, no matter how many words of comfort he said, they were not as good as a silent hug.
Gu Qingwu put her face against his neck and calmed down. Then, the two of them talked for a few more words.
Without saying anything, He Sui Chen asked her to take a shower, and he went to the bedroom to see his daughter.
Little Li'er dozed off on the way back. Now he was sleeping in the middle of the bed wrapped in a snow-white quilt like a baby insect, with his thin eyelashes tightly closed, casting a row of beautiful shadows on his chubby face.
He Sui Chen stayed by her side quietly for half an hour, calculated that Gu Qingwu should have finished washing, and then stood up and walked out.
The lights in the living room were no longer very bright, and the curtains had been drawn tightly. Gu Qingwu did not go to take a shower, but was tidying up the bookcase instead. There were several cardboard boxes next to her. She had put away all the glass and ceramic decorations and replaced them with some exquisite dolls and stuffed toys.
After being busy for a long time, I felt too tired from squatting, so I just sat on the cold floor.
He Sui Chen stood there silently without disturbing her.
Gu Qingwu's love for his daughter is reflected in some inadvertent details.
She won't say that she is a good mother, but she is trying very hard to be a qualified and loving mother.
The pile of cartons were sealed with transparent tape. Gu Qingwu turned around and saw He Suichen not far away. She curved her red lips and said, "Hide them all. This way, Xiaoli won't get hurt."
He Sui Chen walked over and picked her up from the floor. He lowered his head and touched her forehead with his lips lightly.
But soon he touched it again, feeling the abnormal temperature of the skin surface, and frowned: "Is it a little hot?"
Gu Qingwu said nonchalantly: "It will be fine after a good night's sleep."
He Sui Chen never expected his daughter's accident, which scared Gu Qingwu so much that she had a low fever. Fortunately, it was not serious. After taking medicine and drinking some hot water, she is in normal condition.
He was worried about letting her go to the bathroom to take a bath alone, so he helped her wash herself, just like bathing a baby.
Gu Qingwu was lying in the porcelain white bathtub, her long, thick black hair hanging down on her shoulders, covering half of her back. He Suichen's slender and distinct fingers dipped in foam moved across her body, washing her from head to toe, including her hair, carefully, without letting her fingers get wet.
In the atmosphere of the sound of water, Gu Qingwu's mind also cleared up, and he chatted with him: "When I was tidying up the bookcase, I didn't find anything worthy of Xiaoli'er climbing..."
"Brother, did this little guy tell you?"
It can be seen from He Sui Chen's expression that he is also unaware of the situation.
The more Gu Qingwu thought about it, the more he felt something was not right, because Xiaoli was a quiet person and rarely jumped around the house, let alone moved things.
Before she could figure it out, He Suichen stretched out his long arms to pull her out of the bathtub, wrapped her in a warm bathrobe, and said slowly, "Just ask and you'll know."
Gu Qingwu looked at him and agreed with what he said.
When I returned to the bedroom, Xiaoli'er had woken up, but she was not crying. She took out her usual small mirror and was curled up in the quilt, looking at her chubby, delicate face. She looked very sad and touched her forehead with her finger.
It's very heartbreaking to see him like that, I'm afraid he's going to be disfigured...
Although he is very young, he is overly concerned about his face and has beauty anxiety.
Gu Qingwu's emotions were fluctuating tonight. Even filming was not so enjoyable. When he saw this scene, he instantly lost his temper.
Perhaps hearing the sound of the door opening, Xiao Li'er hurriedly hid the small mirror, closed his eyes, and lay down on the soft big pillow.
Gu Qingwu was basically certain of one thing, and silently said to He Suichen: "Your daughter is guilty."
It seems that accidentally falling and getting injured by pushing the bookshelf is not a coincidence.
…
Neither Gu Qingwu nor He Sui Chen blamed Xiao Li'er. Instead, they observed the situation silently for a few days. Gradually, they discovered that Xiao Li'er was extremely sensitive to the mobile phone. Whenever she picked it up and put it down, her little eyes would follow her all the way.
Gu Qingwu never uses a phone case for his phone, even the protective film is subsidized.
She didn't understand what attracted her daughter so much. One weekend, He Sui Chen didn't go to the company and moved all the urgent work back to the study.
Afternoon.
Gu Qingwu put his cell phone on the coffee table and walked into the study. The door was open and the bright light illuminated every corner.
In less than ten minutes, little Li'er ran out from the bedroom with his legs clattering, ran straight to the cell phone, hid it in his pocket, and called "Mom" as if nothing had happened.
Then, she found Gu Qingwu reading in the study room and said in a baby voice, "Looking for brother to play with."
Gu Qingwu put down the book and first glanced at He Suichen who was sitting at the desk. She raised her finger to brush away a few thin and messy hairs on the little guy's forehead. The scar on it had faded a lot. She lowered her eyes and said, "Brother needs to take a nap."
"I have an appointment with my brother..." Little Lier insisted on going to the apartment next door and pouted to kiss her mother.
Gu Qingwu pretended to be embarrassed for a moment before saying that he would go and see if Yu Jiafan had taken a nap, and asked the little guy to wait at home.
Yu Jiafan, just like Xiao Li'er, stated that he had made an appointment with his sister and came over with a fairy tale book.
He said he wanted to tell his sister the story of Sleeping Beauty.
Gu Qingwu smiled, arranged the two children in the children's room, and prepared two cups of milk and some snacks.
She closed the door, and as soon as she left, Xiaolier took out his cell phone and handed it to his brother, then climbed down from the bed and curled up in front of the door to act as a little door god.
Yu Jiafan hadn't called his father via video for several days. He looked at her gratefully and said, "Thank you, sister."
Little Li'er smiled widely and said politely, "You're welcome, brother."
When the call was connected, she didn't know that in the study next door, Gu Qingwu and He Suichen were watching this scene through the surveillance camera. She didn't show much emotion, but just frowned slightly: "After all this time, your daughter took the phone to give it to Fanfan... Why didn't Fanfan say that she missed He Yunjian?"
He Suichen tapped the edge of the table carelessly with his long fingers. From the screen, he could clearly see Xiaolier guarding the door skillfully. It was obvious that he was a repeat offender. After Yu Jiafan got through to He Yunjian's video call, he secretly wiped his tears and took out the mermaid storybook to read it to his father.
It looks so pitiful.
Even Gu Qingwu couldn't bear it and didn't blame her daughter for stealing her mother's phone.
One minute later.
He Suichen turned off the surveillance video, respected the child's privacy, raised his arms and hugged Gu Qingwu in his arms: "I'll find time to talk to Fanfan. As for Yu Siqing, can you remind her?"
Gu Qingwu shook her head, "Yu Siqing is a little bit resistant to your eldest brother... I mentioned it last time. She was so distraught for a few days. If she knew that the child missed his father, but could only steal my phone to make video calls, she would feel even worse."
"Brother, give Yu Siqing some time first. As for Fanfan... tell your eldest brother about the situation."
He Sui Chen had no objection and reported the situation to He Yunjian that night.
There was no need to explain further. After all, the fact that Yu Jiafan used Gu Qingwu's phone every time was a silent reminder to him.
And the Sleeping Beauty story that Yu Jiafan told him, strangely enough, had a very good hypnotic effect.
He Yunjian's daily headaches would be cured by the child's innocent voice, giving him a moment of peace. If he was more ruthless, he could definitely keep his son with him, which Xu Shi had also tactfully suggested.
"Mr. He, I can talk to Yu Siqing about your treatment and ask her to temporarily send the child to New York for half a year."
This proposal was immediately rejected by He Yunjian without any room for further discussion.
For some reason, he didn't want Yu Siqing to know his situation in New York, so every time Yu Jiafan called him via video using Gu Qingwu's phone, he didn't go to find He Sui Chen.
Recently, He Yunjian began to frequently go to a high-end western restaurant, as if he had been here before in his memory. He liked to sit at a fixed seat by the window, order a signature dish, and pick out a waitress with a slender back from a group of Chinese descent to serve him.
It is customary to give a tip when paying the bill and leaving.
This habit seemed to have been implanted in his body, and he did it naturally based on instinct.
It was not until He Yunjian saw a young waitress being scolded by the manager of a western restaurant on a rainy night. She had her back to him, wearing a black and white work uniform. She was too thin, and she didn't even have a pair of warm stockings in the cold weather. She wiped her tears tremblingly, and continued to face the customers with a smile.
He Yunjian ordered her service that night. He had no intention of enjoying the western food in front of him. He looked at the woman with a strange face vaguely.
She had a work badge on her collar, and her Chinese name was: "Xiaojun."
Xiaojun brought the coffee to the table and was about to leave when she heard He Yunjian ask in a low voice, "Why did the manager scold you just now?"
Xiaojun didn't expect that the scene was seen by the guests. Her fair face showed some embarrassment and she answered in Chinese: "I broke a set of tableware, and the manager said I would be fined."
He Yunjian took a sip of coffee, the bitter taste filled his mouth. After a while, a voice without any emotion came out from his lips: "Is he going to fire you?"
He didn't know why he asked this, but Xiaojun answered seriously: "The manager didn't say he was going to fire me."
He Yunjian didn't say anything else. His slender, cold white fingers rested lightly on the rim of the coffee cup, tapping it absentmindedly. This time he didn't leave on time, so he just sat here waiting for the western restaurant to close.
After finishing her part-time job, Xiaojun changed into a mint green dress. The street lights made her skin look as white as snow.
He Yunjian drove his car and stopped beside them. Even though he was trying to strike up a conversation, he didn't act like a playboy at all: "I'll give you a ride."
Xiaojun knew that this customer had been coming to the western restaurant to dine every night recently. He seemed to be very free and generous, so he had long been the dream lover of the waitress in the restaurant. However, she did not expect that luck would strike her.
After struggling for a while, she finally mustered up the courage to open the car door.
He Yunjian asked for the address in a calm tone. He spoke very little along the way and did not take advantage of the opportunity. The questions he asked were all about studying abroad. Xiaojun answered every question very carefully. When she lowered her head and smiled, she had a bit of a gentle student temperament.
He Yunjian drove the car to the bottom of the simple apartment building, and did not ask her to get out of the car. He glanced sideways, looking at her in the light.
Suddenly, through the strange young woman in front of him, he seemed to see the shadow of Yu Siqing when she was young.
She was also wearing a simple light green dress and sitting neatly on the passenger seat. Her hair was not very long and was draped softly over her shoulders. Her face without makeup was particularly fair, making her look even more beautiful and refined.
She seemed to be nervous because of his gaze. Her dark and gentle eyes subconsciously looked at the street scene outside the car window, and her breathing was light.
He Yunjian's slender hands tightly grasped the steering wheel, and veins popped out on the surface of his cold white skin. At this moment, he finally realized a fact. What made him come to that restaurant frequently was not the familiar street view and menu in his memory.
It was Yu Siqing. All his memories of living in New York for several years were related to this woman.
…
He Yunjian did not return to China, but every piece of information about his condition was passed on to He Suichen. Occasionally, Gu Qingwu would also read the contents of Xu Shi's emails.
After she finished reading it at a glance, she couldn't help but ask the man who was lazily leaning on the back of the chair: "Brother, are you a reliable psychologist?"
He Sui was silent and was resting with his eyes closed.
Gu Qingwu added: "He Yunjian found a woman who looks 70% like Yu Siqing and lives in the villa. He asked her to act according to Yu Siqing's daily routine. Can this really... stimulate his lost memories?"
"Yes, otherwise my brother wouldn't do such a boring thing."
He Sui Chen answered slowly, then stretched out his finger, moved the mouse, and clicked on the folder at the top of the screen.
There is a video in which He Yunjian sits on the sofa in the living room, quietly watching the woman with a similar back to Yu Siqing busy in the kitchen. If the camera is zoomed in to the extreme, Gu Qingwu will see that He Yunjian's eyes have changed, and the blue veins on his wrist bones revealed on his sleeves are the best proof.
From Xu Shi's professional perspective as a psychologist:
He Yunjian needs assistance to regain his memory in New York. Neither the child nor Yu Siqing can come, so he has to find a substitute to play the role.
After watching the video for about ten minutes, Gu Qingwu asked the most crucial question: "When your brother's memory is restored, can he resist looking for Yu Siqing to rekindle their old relationship?"
No matter how impure the relationship was when they first met, He Yunjian's willingness to risk his life when Yu Siqing was having difficulty giving birth could not deceive anyone.
He may not even realize it... He loves this woman to the core.
He Sui Chen could not give Gu Qingwu the answer he wanted to hear.
But no one expected He Yunjian to suddenly return to China the next month.
…
Having lived in the apartment for two months, Yu Siqing and Gu Qingwu have been neighbors, and they get along harmoniously and happily on weekdays.
In their spare time, the two would make an appointment to go shopping together, buy some flowers and plants for the apartment, and discuss cooking. Occasionally, Yu Siqing would invite classmates from Yu Jiafan's class to her home, and would also invite Gu Qingwu to come over to have fun.
There was a famous female star living next door, which made Yu Jiafan very popular in school. Many children would take out snacks to please him just because his aunt was Gu Qingwu.
Over time, Yu Jiafan's autism improved a lot, he began to accept new friends and talked more.
On the weekend, Yu Jiafan invited a few more children to his home to play. In order to make his son happy, Yu Siqing went to the supermarket early in the morning to buy ingredients and made cakes and desserts by herself to entertain these little guests.
The air in the restaurant was filled with a very fragrant creamy smell. Little Li'er stood on tiptoe to watch and secretly tasted it. His eyes curved into crescents: "Auntie... this is as sweet as Little Li'er."
When Yu Siqing was pregnant, she dreamed of having a daughter, so she was particularly fond of Xiao Li'er when she saw her. She cut a piece of cake for her in advance and said, "Be good, go play with your brother."
Little Li'er held the cake in his hand and ran out with his legs clattering.
Yu Siqing put the egg tarts into the oven, raised her hand to check the time, and replied to a few messages.
When I put my hands down, I felt that it was especially quiet outside the kitchen, without the noisy sounds of the children.
There was some doubt in her gentle eyes. She wiped her white fingers clean and was about to walk out. She saw a cream-colored puppy strolling in from the half-open door, with its furry tail raised high.
As if knowing that he was discovered, the milk-yellow puppy ran out again and disappeared in a flash.
Yu Siqing doesn’t keep a pet, and Gu Qingwu next door doesn’t keep one either as he’s busy filming.
So... when she saw the dog, her first reaction was that it was brought by Yu Jiafan's classmate. She was afraid that it might bite Gu Qingwu's daughter without knowing the severity of the situation, so she walked out.
