Looking forward to returning home

"I just thought of something." Gu Yanxiao's voice was suppressed, and she lowered her eyes to hide the emotional changes inside.

"The company?" An Lin asked.

"No." Gu Yanxiao lowered his voice, paused, and admitted, "Your."

"I have nothing to worry about, am I right beside you?" Seeing her saying this, An Lin was inexplicably happy, and tilted her head to look at her, not knowing where she was thinking.

It's no wonder that seeing her react so weirdly just now, I thought something was wrong.

"I'm worried about everything, as long as it's about you." Gu Yanxiao smiled a little at the corner of her mouth because of her words. It was very faint, but it did exist.

When she smiled like this, the dimples on the side of her cheeks were slightly revealed and faintly visible.

An Lin heard that there was some half-smile in her words, and her expression was not as serious as she saw before, so she felt relieved.

In fact, she was already a little sleepy, probably due to jet lag, she had been holding on for a long time, and now that her body was on the bed, the sleepiness gradually came up.

He wanted to speak, but he yawned first: "If you can worry about me, doesn't it mean that you have my thoughts in mind?"

Her words came out with a yawn, which made Gu Yanxiao look sideways at her.

At this time, An Lin was obedient and ugly, most of her body was leaning against her, and her little head was quietly nestled on her shoulder.

An Lin's pajamas are made of coral fleece, which is light, comfortable and easy to touch. The neckline is slightly wide, and the position from the tender white neck to the chest is stretched in the air. more obvious.

She leaned casually and lazily, not caring about her posture, only how comfortable she felt, and didn't care about anything else at all.

Gu Yanxiao looked sideways, and reached out to help her pull up the collar a bit, hiding the spring in the garden: "If you're sleepy, stop talking and go to sleep."

She patted her head again, coaxing in a low voice.

It was only when An Lin let go of her defenses and lived with her like this, did she feel that she could speak to her in such a tone again.

As An Lin grew older, Gu Yanxiao also noticed that she often wrapped herself in a thick layer of armor to hide her fragile side. If she encountered any difficulties, she would only I silently gritted my teeth and suffered, not talking to her, even unwilling to snort in pain.

I thought it was her rebellion in adolescence, but I never thought that so many things happened to her, and I told her every word.

Children from other families may be able to throw themselves into their parents' arms or act like a baby in front of them, but An Lin can't.

An Lin went abroad, and she was still busy. She finally had some free time, so she stayed in An Lin's room all day, thinking things through thoroughly.

She didn't know whether it was An Lin's intention or not. There was a notebook in the drawer of the desk in the room. It was a very ordinary notepad without a signature, and the thin notebook was only half written.

She was curious, so she took it out to have a look, and the contents inside were not as private as a diary, just like random notes, but actually revealed a lot of information.

It also let Gu Yanxiao know how much he missed An Lin.

She asked someone to check the past overnight, and only then did she realize what the child had endured alone.

Gu Yanxiao didn't know how long it had been since she cried, but that night she was secretly sad when she faced a stack of white paper with black letters on it.

She claims that she is not a pessimistic person, but she always has great mood swings for one person.

But she didn't tell An Lin about this, and even if she knew about it, she didn't show any special emotions when she talked with An Lin. She pretended that she didn't know, but the deep ocean in the bottom of her eyes was full of waves all the time.

An Lin didn't want to tell her, so she just pretended not to know.

"I don't want to sleep." An Lin lowered her body a little, lay down a little, wrapped her arms around Gu Yanxiao's waist, sniffing the faint fragrance, "I want to talk to you more."

Gu Yanxiao lowered his head to look at her, and could only see the top of the thick black hair. He stretched out his hand and smoothed it a few times: "I can talk anytime, it's not too late."

As she spoke, she turned sideways, turned on the desk lamp beside the bed, and then turned off the overhead light in the room, and suddenly there was only cold white light in the room dimly swaying from this corner.

After doing this, Gu Yanxiao also lay down, and adjusted the height of the pillow, and the two of them were next to each other, she was lying on the pillow, and An Lin was lying in her arms.

The eyes of the person beside him were squinted, looking extremely sleepy and reluctant to close their eyes, there was a little |light reflected in the eyes, flickering faintly.

"There's only so much time, and one second less is one second." An Lin groaned, rubbed her fingers on Gu Yanxiao's arm, curled her fingertips slightly, and clenched it tighter.

"Then you can't just stay like this, are you still going to have a long talk with me all night?" Gu Yanxiao's heart was slightly astringent, but he forced a smile from the corner of his mouth.

"No." An Lin said softly.

Keeping her eyes on Gu Yanxiao, she could also see Gu Yanxiao's unnatural smile, retracted the finger holding her, touched the corner of her slightly curved lips lightly, and tugged twice to signal her relax.

Gu Yanxiao was slightly startled, and then did as he did, his face paled a bit.

"Huh?" Gu Yanxiao thought she had some plans.

"You're tired too, so you can't let me mess around. There must be other work tomorrow, so you can't be delayed because of me."

"...No, there is no arrangement in the morning." Gu Yanxiao took a breath, explained, and planned to contact Jiang Mushu later to cancel the morning meeting and arrange it in the afternoon.

She should spend more time with this poor little girl.

"It's okay, go get busy if you have something to do, don't delay." An Lin smiled obediently, her brows and eyes curved, as if she had seen through her little thoughts, "I am very content to be able to hold you like this now."

After that, she didn't know how many times she would leave like this.

When he was at the milk tea shop with Wu Zhizhou earlier, he knew that she had made those decisive plans, and he was still a little worried, so he frowned and asked her, "What's the point of doing such a decisive thing?"

An Lin held the milk tea cup, her eyes lost focus, and she came back after a while: "Don't do this, I'm afraid she won't let me go, and I'm afraid... I won't want to go."

"That can be changed to a softer way." Wu Zhizhou raised his hand and tapped the table, bringing her back to her senses.

"It's okay, it's fine like this." An Lin glanced at Wu Zhizhou, then lowered his head, raised his fingertips that had become cold from touching the milk tea, and touched his lips, as if thinking of something, suddenly whispered Whispering, "However... I have received the deposit in advance, and I will come back sooner or later."

"She is my harbour, and now I am only leaving the port temporarily, and I will return to her embrace one day."

She is alone, and she is her only refuge.

"It's not busy." Gu Yanxiao whispered, and helped someone cover the quilt better.

Now that she has made this decision in her heart, she doesn't want to change it.

"Okay." An Lin pursed her lips and smiled.

Gu Yanxiao patted her and coaxed her softly: "I'll stay with you at home tomorrow morning, and grandpa also said, let's go back and see her together in a few days."

"Well, grandpa told me." An Lin responded, but heard something different in her ears.

When she thought of something, she raised her eyes and caught Gu Yanxiao's hand patting her. The silvery white on the wrist suddenly appeared, illuminated by the light, and reflected a different color.

The corners of An Lin's lips raised, and she said softly, "You still wear it after so many years, I think you treat it better than me."

"Wearing it, isn't it like you are with me?"

She lay down slightly, moved her head from Gu Yanxiao's arms to the pillow, her head was touching her head, her hair was lightly brushed, her fingers hooked the bracelet, and she said softly, "Did I not tell you about it?" How did it come here?"

When An Lin said this, Gu Yanxiao blinked, remembering that when he received the small gift from An Lin, he asked her a few questions, but the little girl didn't say anything, just laughed and left .

In addition, I had to greet the guests at the banquet afterwards, so I was so busy that I forgot about it over time.

An Lin suddenly mentioned this matter at this time, but it was immediately aroused.

Gu Yanxiao's curiosity: "Are you willing to say it?"

The corners of An Lin's lips curled down: "I don't have any wishes or dislikes. When I was young, I thought I could give you a surprise without saying anything."

"Time flies so fast, it will be ten years soon."

Next month is Gu Yanxiao's birthday.

"En." Gu Yanxiao looked at her sideways, with an air of listening attentively.

It was also winter at that time, An Lin was eight years old and still in primary school.

One day when she came home from school, An Lin saw Guo Miao was busy preparing something at home, she was just curious, so she went over and asked.

While busy with the things in hand, Guo Miao told her: "I'm preparing for my sister's birthday. It's a gift for my sister, and there are things that will be used in the banquet later."

, which means that you are an adult and you have to start to assume legal obligations, but you can also do many things that you can't do when you can't.

Guo Miao also had nothing to do, so seeing that she was willing to listen, he said a few more words.

"It is also a very important day in a person's life."

An Lin was actually quite ignorant, not necessarily able to understand every sentence, but she nodded as she listened, and Guo Miao continued with a smile.

An Lin didn't know what she understood, but she began to look forward to her own.

A few years ago, when she celebrated her birthday, she was still a little confused, but since this day, she has firmly remembered Gu Yanxiao's birthday,

Aunt said she wanted to give a gift?

An Lin thought hard for a long time and didn't know what to give.

She had some pocket money, which was given to her by An Ran, and she never fiddled with it, and kept it hidden under her pillow.

She hurried back to her room, climbed onto her upper bunk, grabbed out the stack of money, and counted it carefully, there were several thousand dollars.

Her small brows were furrowed, her fingertips tangled together.

What would my sister like?

She found a small bag, stuffed all the money in it, and slipped out of the house while Guo Miao was not paying attention.

An Lin walked on the street, looking back and forth.

At this time, her height was a little shorter compared to her peers, and she was alone, which inevitably attracted many curious eyes.

She swallowed nervously, folded her arms in front of her body, tightly protected the small bag, looked around vigilantly, and walked forward silently.

"You ran out by yourself???" Gu Yanxiao didn't know that this happened before, and his expression became serious because of An Lin's narration.
