Acknowledge

After picking the straw and returning, Gu Xi always felt that something was wrong. If there was something wrong, uh... it seemed that the little devil had been staring at him.

When drinking water, when helping Lao Gu, even when going to the toilet... the big watery eyes of the little ghost head never left him, even Gu Si noticed it, and couldn't help but tease him: "Little Brother Xi, when did Xiao Le become your little fan?"

Sitting on the sofa playing with the mobile phone, fingers kept swiping the screen, but the mind was completely unable to concentrate.

Finally, Gu Xi sighed and waved to Gu Le, "Xiao Le, come."

When Gu Le came to him, Gu Xi hugged him and sat on his lap, "Do you have something to say to brother?"

Gu Le nodded, glanced at Gu Si who was sitting on the other end of the sofa, then shook his head, and whispered to Gu Xi: "Little Gu No. [-] brother said that he can only talk if you are alone."

Little Gu No. [-]... Isn't that Gu Xiao... What kind of tricks is this guy playing again, even children are taking advantage of him.

"Then let's go back to the room and talk about it?" Gu Xi put Gu Le down, then took his hand and walked towards the room.

However, before the two of them reached the room, Zhang Hui's voice came from outside the room: "Xiaoxi, Xiaole, come down quickly!"

A group of people were already standing at the door, and there was a person with a camera beside him, who seemed to be a child from the next door.

"Come, come, everyone is here," Lao Gu greeted everyone to stand in line, "Elders stand, children squat!"

"There are only four people squatting, how strange!" Gu Xiao was dissatisfied with Lao Gu's arrangement, "It should be a row of chairs for the elders to sit on."

Several people discussed for a long time, and the boy with the camera was a little helpless, and those cameras were aimed at other places to play with the focus.In the end, Gu Pingshao said: "Don't bother, let's squeeze together, stand tighter, and stand back consciously!"

So it became a formation of women in front of men and men behind. Gu Xi randomly found a position, and Gu Pingshao just pushed Gu Xiao over, "You two stand together, about the same height."

The two uncles were also standing next to each other. In order to be able to get into the mirror, everyone stood quite crowded, with shoulders next to shoulders, and it was difficult for them to move.

Taking a sneak peek at Gu Xi beside him, Gu Xiao suddenly wanted to prove something.

Ever since Gu Xi made the decision, he tried his best not to get close to Gu Xiao, in case there was a chance to "not die", so he tried his best to avoid all contact with Gu Xiao.Right now, she is too close to Gu Xiao, and a trace of anxiety and upset can't help but arise in her heart.

The shoulders were heavy, and an arm suddenly came over. Gu Xi frowned subconsciously. He didn't understand why the relationship between the two of them had become so stiff, and Gu Xiao could continue acting as if nothing happened.

With so many people present, he should also pretend to not let anyone see the clues.But he couldn't hold back, and before making a serious decision, his body had reflexively turned to one side, avoiding Gu Xiao's hand.

"I want to stand with Grandpa." In order not to be so obvious, Gu Xi said so, and squeezed a few steps to Lao Gu's side.

Old Gu was very happy, and put his arms around Gu Xi's neck, "What a good grandson!"

Everyone changed poses and combinations to take a lot of pictures, and it took nearly half an hour before they were willing to leave. Gu Xi saw that nothing happened, so he wanted to take Gu Le back to the room to continue the topic just now.

I don't want Gu Xiao to walk towards him with a gloomy face, grab his wrist and pull him towards the room.

There must be a fight.

But I don't want to quarrel here, at least I should go home and quarrel again.

Gu Xi shakes his hands vigorously, but every time he shakes Gu Xiao tightens his grip. He can't cry out pain like a woman to lure Gu Xiao to let go, so he can only follow obediently.

As soon as he entered the room, Gu Xiao yelled, his tone was full of anger and contempt.

"What do you mean, are you blaming me for half a year for such a shitty thing? Are you a woman!?"

Gu Xi sat on the bed and said slowly: "I don't blame you, I just think it's fine now, as long as I don't quarrel in front of them..."

"Damn it, don't complain, you lie to the child? Gu Si, a girl who hugs you like that, you can bear it. If I touch you, what are you hiding? Isn't that what I am? You think it's so good, what's so good about it? ?!" Gu Xiao roared in a low voice.

"What's wrong with that?" Gu Xi asked back.

Gu Xiao hurriedly opened his mouth, but didn't utter a word, staring at Gu Xi sullenly.

Gu Xi didn't look at him, and turned his gaze out of the window. Some answers, only he could understand, others would not understand, especially Gu Xiao.Because of that poor self-esteem, there are some things that only you can know.

"Gu Xiao, you know, I don't hate Gu Si."

That's the end of the story, Gu Xiao is rough-headed, but not a fool, this is enough for him to understand.

Gu Xiao was stunned on the spot, never expecting that this sentence would come out of Gu Xi's mouth in such a way. Indeed, he has always known that Gu Xi said it directly once in his distant childhood.But why doesn't he say it directly now, but flashes across his mind like a thunderbolt, shattering a lot of anger.

My eyes are fixed on a leaf outside the window, whether it moves in the wind or shakes because of a bird, it seems to be still.The whole heart was firmly trapped in the room, under Gu Xiao's gaze, Gu Xi hesitated secretly, trembling, secretly harboring hope, and sternly issued a warning.

Gu Xi had never said such poignant words before, and Gu Xi was also very disturbed, wondering if it was enough.

After waiting for a long time, Gu Xiao didn't make any more moves, and there was no sound. Gu Xi turned his head and looked at Gu Xiao, who was staring at him fiercely, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"Are you determined?" Gu Xiao said quietly, without waiting for Gu Xi's reaction, he continued, "Okay, okay, you will be a good baby yourself in the future, and the young master will not accompany you!"

"Bang!" The door was slammed shut, leaving only shredded memories and a desperate gasp in the empty room.

Gu Xi fell back weakly, staring at the white ceiling without blinking.

To this day, I finally gave up.

It turns out that once a person decides to be self-willed, he can be so selfish that his relatives don't recognize him, but once things go bad enough to touch the bottom line, he will be very small.

During dinner, Gu Xi watched helplessly as Gu Xiao took the rice and sat down on Gu Pingshao's seat.Pushing Gu Xiao's shoulder, Gu Pingshao whispered, "I'm sitting on the wrong place!"

Gu Xiao remained motionless, "That's right, there is no label on the seat, I just sit here, so as not to cause trouble."

"Xiao Xiao, what are you talking about!?" Gu Pingshao was surprised, didn't the two children reconcile, why did it happen again?

Originally, Gu Pingshao just wanted to remind Gu Xiao not to mess around in front of everyone, and only hoped that he would stop talking nonsense. Who would have thought that Gu Xiao stood up "suddenly" and said dully: "I'm not hungry. , eat first!"

"If you're not hungry, you can't stop eating!" Lao Gu shouted anxiously, but Gu Xiao didn't even look back.

During the dinner, Gu Pingshao's family was full of preoccupations, and they couldn't get into the joy and harmony in front of them at all.

As expected, Zhang Hui called the two brothers together after the meal, after all, the stiffness was too obvious.But Gu Xi decided to keep silent, and there was still more than a year before he could not go home.

"Are you two having conflicts again?" Zhang Hui asked.

No one answered, Zhang Hui said again: "You are brothers, what problem can't be solved? Now there is no one else here, so let's talk about all our troubles and solve them together, okay?"

There was still no response, Zhang Hui just looked at them like this for a long time, what Zhang Hui didn't expect was that Gu Xiao snorted coldly and turned his head away, but Gu Xi said: "Mom, don't ask, the two of us I know what I know."

This was the first time that Gu Xi had spoken to an elder like this since he was a grown-up, with impatience and irritability in a very aggressive tone.

The conversation that followed ended in failure after all. Gu Xi and Gu Xiao remained silent and said nothing about what Zhang Hui said.

Gu Xi is very glad that Gu Xiao didn't say anything, at least Zhang Hui thought that the relationship between their brothers was very good in the past ten years or so.If she knew that the good things in the past were all soaked in lies, I'm afraid she would feel guilty, regret marrying Gu Pingshao, and question and struggle with her happiness.

In the evening, everyone's bed space is a bit tricky. Generally, everyone will not come back at the same time. The old Gu's family didn't prepare so many quilts, so they could only squeeze people together as much as possible.Gu Le squeezed into a small double bed with the two of them, just to ease the atmosphere.

After a tiring day, everyone went back to the room early, and the three brothers were urged to go to bed early by their parents.

Gu Xi took a shower and came back to the room to see Gu Xiao sitting on the edge of the bed, hugging Gu Le and teaching him how to play games. That scene was inexplicably ironic, and seeing that serious and patient face made his heart ache.Gu Xiao originally loved his younger brother very much, but he never regarded him as his younger brother.

In fact, I hate being sad all day long, with ups and downs in mood, but often, after deciding to stay away from Gu Xiao, those facts that he never wanted to face face to face frequently come before his eyes.

"Brother Gu Xi!" Gu Le shouted happily when he saw him, but Gu Xiao didn't turn his head too much, as if he didn't hear Gu Le's call, Gu Le poked his head out of Gu Xiao's arms and said, "Brother No. Teach me how to play games, have fun, let's play together?"

Trying to pull out a kind smile, Gu Xi said weakly: "No, you guys can play." Then he leaned against the other side of the bed, took out his mobile phone to play.

Before he could finish entering the password, Gu Le had already crawled over and sat on his lap, his big Shui Lingling eyes stared at the object in his hand, "Brother Gu Xi, do you have a more interesting game? "

Gu Xi patted Gu Le's little meaty leg, and said, "No, brother doesn't have games here, brother has to recite words."

"What is a word?"

"Well... just...something you'll learn in school later on."

While they were chatting, Gu Xiao couldn't take it anymore, took his clothes and went out to take a shower.

As soon as Gu Le saw Gu Xiao go out, he immediately approached Gu Xi quietly, and said mysteriously, "Brother Gu Xi, I'll ask you secretly."

Gu Xi suddenly thought that Gu Le seemed to have something to say to him in the afternoon, but was delayed by other things, so he forgot.

"Are you unhappy recently, can you tell me why you are unhappy?"

Hearing this, Gu Xi is happy, how does this baby know that he is unhappy? "Why do you ask that, have I written my unhappiness on my face?"

Gu Le raised a finger to his mouth, and whispered: "Brother No. [-] said he can't tell you, otherwise he won't be able to make you happy, so don't ask me, tell me why you are unhappy, okay?"

Could it be that Gu Le stared at him all afternoon inexplicably, just to complete the task given by Gu Xiao?What Gu Xiao did behind his back was not to tease him?He would feel guilty and want to make up...

But if... If we give each other another chance...

But if Gu Xiao bowed his head just because he couldn't get his forgiveness for that incident, would he return to teasing him day after day after the forgiveness?

"Xiao Le, brother is not unhappy, it's too late, let's go to bed, otherwise Xiao Le will not grow tall." Gu Xi didn't want to continue the topic, and he didn't have the mood to chat with Gu Le, he just wanted to be quiet by himself.

Gu Le got off him obediently, and he also lay down in the bed, helping the two of them tuck the corners of the quilt.

"Brother Gu Xi, I want to hear a story."

Seven or eight-year-old children are still listening to bedtime stories?Gu Xi was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he tried his best to find out the children's stories he had heard... But his seven or eight years old were all fighting with Gu Xiao.

Well, it seems that there are not many. Where did he hear any stories when he was a child? Before his mother remarried, she was very tired. After remarrying, he and Gu Xiao lived in the same room. What stories did he tell.

But looking at Gu Le's expectant eyes, he was embarrassed to lose his interest, so he pretended to say: "Okay, my brother will tell you a long story, you don't have to finish listening, you can go to bed when you are sleepy, you know?" Because of this The story doesn't end...

The child in front of him nodded excitedly.

"Once upon a time..."
