Tears seeped out from between Gu Nianzhi's fingers, rolled down her slender fingers, flowed over her wrist, came to her snow-white arm, dripped down to her elbow, and then gathered into a bright sparkle at the bottom of her elbow. The oval is like a teardrop-shaped pearl, gently dripping down, rolling on the grass and splashing jade.
He Zhichu stared at the direction where her tears were falling, and after a long time he took out a tissue and wiped her tears.
He continued: "... At that time, you never spoke. My mother consulted a child psychologist and gave you a psychological test and an IQ test."
"They found that your IQ is very high, but your perception is selectively closed to the outside world."
"In other words, you only hear what you want to hear and see what you want to see. What you don't want to hear or see will be automatically filtered."
"Your IQ is very high, your mental strength is also very strong, and your self-control ability is far beyond that of a child your age, but you just don't want to communicate with others."
"They said you might have been frightened in childhood, so you used your autistic tendency to protect yourself. Therefore, my mother followed the instructions of the psychologist and talked to you non-stop every day, so that you could get out of your hard shell and read this. world."
"As long as you are awake, she will speak in front of you, and her speaking speed will remain very steady, neither fast nor slow, and her voice will be gentle and pleasant."
"Her efforts were not in vain. You finally responded to her voice. As long as she speaks, your eyes will follow her figure involuntarily."
"But as soon as she turns around, you immediately lower your head and hide yourself behind the curtain."
He Zhichu remembered that day when he came home from school and stood by the door, half of his body hidden in the shadow of the lamp, silently watching his mother Qin Suwen tidying up Gu Nianzhi's room and folding clothes while chattering to her. say.
"After finishing the children's story, I will tell you the lawsuit she fought back then as a story. From logical reasoning, to evidence collection, from debating skills to the reconstruction of three views, she repeated it over and over again, as long as you If there is even a slight reaction, she will be ecstatic, hug you and give you a big kiss."
“… My mother’s voice became hoarse, her throat was inflamed, and her throat was very swollen and sore, but she still refused to give up even one day.”
"Half a year passed by, and my mother couldn't bear it anymore, and one day she fainted in your room."
"There were only two of you in your room at that time. You walked out of the room alone, came to the door of my father's study, and told the guard at the door that Susu was sick."
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
"...Susu? I call your mother Susu?" Gu Nianzhi was very surprised.
"Yes." He Zhichu nodded, "My father called my mother 'Susu'. You have heard him say it too many times, and you think my mother's name is Susu."
"That was the first time you spoke. My father heard it from the intercom in the study. He hurriedly opened the door and came out. He saw you holding your doll, looked up at him, and said very clearly: 'Susu is sick.' '"
"My father understood and immediately came to your room and saw my mother fainted on the floor."
"He called our family doctor and specialists from the Military General Hospital to consult with my mother. He found that she was just overtired and had a high fever caused by throat inflammation."
He Zhichu remembered that day at school when he heard that his mother had fainted, and he immediately hurried back from school. As a result, at the door of the suite where his father and mother lived, he saw doctors in white coats coming in and out, all busy anxiously. As she sat there, little Gu Nian was holding her little doll alone, squatting by the door, lowering her head, looking at the patterns on the carpet in trance.
No one paid attention to her, and no one said a word to her.
At that moment, sixteen-year-old He Zhichu felt an unknown heartache and sourness.
He walked over without hesitation, bent down and picked up six-year-old Gu Nianzhi, and said, "I'll take you in."
Gu Nianzhi raised his head, looked at him steadily, and said again: "Susu is sick."
This was the first time she spoke to He Zhichu, but He Zhichu immediately understood who she was talking about and nodded, "Well, Susu is sick, shall we go see Susu?"
Gu Nianzhi looked at him doubtfully for a while, as if trying to decide whether his words were malicious or kind.
Because in her six years of young life, she encountered too many "people" who used coaxing tones to conduct cruel experiments on her.
Her isolation is for self-preservation.
He Zhichu looked at her quietly, with undisguised distress and pity in his eyes.
Gu Nianzhi's little body slowly softened. She rested her head on his shoulder and said, "... Let's go see Susu."
"... I took you to my mother's room to see her. When you saw her lying motionless on the bed, with a needle stuck in the back of her hand, and a sling bottle next to the bed, you immediately screamed and tried your best to reach over and try to pull out the sling bottle. , and the needle on the back of my mother’s hand.”
"The doctors in the room were shocked..." He Zhichu paused and did not say that his father immediately scolded him and asked him to take Gu Nianzhi away. Instead, he continued: "I was also shocked. I was busy. I took you away, but you were so angry that you slapped me."
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
She said nervously: "I was too young and ignorant at that time..."
She didn't remember anything, but what He Zhichu said was familiar to her and she listened with interest.
He Zhichu rubbed her head and said, "You hated needles and were afraid of them when you were a child."
Gu Nianzhi touched his arm and said sheepishly, "I'm scared now too."
He Zhichu smiled, his peach blossom eyes flashing with an inexplicable light. He looked away and looked up at the sky.
The moonlight is separated by sparse shadows and slanting branches, like ancient lattice windows.
"... My mother is ill. You visit her every day, stay by her bedside, tuck her in and bring her water, and wake her up to take her medicine on time."
"My father was angry and funny when he heard you call my mother Susu. He asked you to call me aunt, but you refused and stubbornly called you 'Susu'."
"But my mother protected you and said you can call me whatever you want. What does it matter? It's just a title."
"My father joked that this would spoil you."
"But my mother said that a child who can take care of her when she is sick cannot be spoiled no matter how much she is spoiled."
Gu Nianzhi put her hand on her chest, suppressing her pounding heart, and murmured: "... Mother really said that?"
He Zhichu nodded slightly and whispered: "Everything related to you is still fresh in my memory."
Because during the years when he lost her, he had brought these memories out to recall over and over again, which had sustained him throughout his decadent period.
Gu Nianzhi was so moved that she gently held He Zhichu's hand and said with admiration: "Master He, no, brother, is our mother the best mother in the world?"
He Zhichu smiled slightly and said, "In our hearts, she is indeed the best mother in the world. Everyone's mother is different and irreplaceable. I feel very lucky to have the same mother as you. .”
It seemed like he really didn't mind.
Gu Nianzhi nodded, "Then, please let me do one last thing for my mother. I want to seek justice for her."
He Zhichu looked at her silently for a long time, then closed his eyes and said, "Okay, just do whatever you want. Don't worry about my father. He is not an unreasonable person. In these years, he also just wants to figure out what happened back then." Give my mother an explanation for the truth."
Gu Nianzhi calmed down, turned away, looked at the lawn not far away, and whispered: "I remember you said that I came to your house when I was six years old. In the first half year, your mother... she took me with her own hands."
He Zhichu said "hmm" and said, "After half a year, you started to be able to speak, but you only talked to my mother and me, and ignored others."
"Two years later, you were almost recovered, but in that year..." He Zhichu paused, trying to hold back the sobs in his throat, "Your father suddenly came to my house and wanted to see her. The two had a secret conversation in the study. about an hour."
"After your father left... my mother was found to have died suddenly in the study." He Zhichu lowered his head, his shoulders seemed to be overwhelmed, "Her heart was not very good to begin with, and she couldn't be stimulated or overworked."
Gu Nianzhi heard what He Zhichu said, and the implication was that her father said something or did something that stimulated Qin Suwen, which led to Qin Suwen's sudden death.
Gu Nianzhi's eyes dimmed and he didn't want to bring up the topic of Lu Jin. He thought for a moment and asked quietly: "Why is my mother's heart not in good condition? What caused it?"
"...The doctor diagnosed it as congenital."
"So it's hereditary?" Gu Nianzhi thought thoughtfully, "Then we need to check whether my grandfather and grandmother's family has a history of hereditary disease."
He Zhichu: “…”
