Be affectionate

The driver, Uncle Zhang, drove steadily and fast, and arrived at the nursing home in more than 40 minutes.

This is the first time for Lin You to come to this kind of place. She originally thought that the nursing home should be a lifeless place, but she didn't expect it to be different from what she imagined.

After getting out of the car, she saw two rows of unnamed trees planted at the entrance of the nursing home, with orange flowers blooming, making them feel refreshed.

Passing through the courtyard gate, the design of Su's garden with small bridges and flowing water makes Lin You's eyes shine, elegant and quiet.

When walking through the gravel road in the garden, she saw many old men and old ladies living here gathered together in small groups, playing cards, playing chess, dancing and singing.

In short, it was not dull at all, but very happy and active.

Lin You felt fresh along the way, talking and laughing, but when she saw Grandma Gu Xi, Lin You realized what Alzheimer's disease was all about.

She only heard about it before, but only by seeing it with her own eyes can she know the harm this disease has brought to the people around her.

Lin You saw Gu Xi squatting in front of grandma, feeding her fruit, helping her squeeze her legs and feet, and talking to her patiently and gently, without any impatience.

Even if her grandma won't give her any reaction.

"Grandma was able to recognize people before, but because grandpa passed away unexpectedly, her condition deteriorated much faster than I thought."

Gu Xi tried to feed her grandma her favorite stewed eggs with milk, but the old lady stared blankly at a certain point in a daze, no matter how much Gu Xi coaxed her, she would not open her mouth.

Seeing her like this, Lin You felt a little distressed, but there was nothing she could do.

She walked over and squatted next to Gu Xi, looking at Grandma Gu.

To be honest, she actually has no impression of Grandma Gu at all.She had lived in the current house since she could remember, and their family had moved out of the original compound long before she could remember.

As Lin Peiming's business grew bigger and bigger, so did her family's house. The Gu family would only be mentioned when grandpa was chatting with Lao Lin.

Following Gu Xi's example, she put one hand on the back of Grandma Gu's knee, and smiled sweetly with her face up: "Grandma Gu, do you remember me? I'm Lin You, and I was in your house when I was a child. After dinner."

Originally, Lin You didn't plan to evoke Grandma Gu's memory. After all, it happened more than ten years ago. Don't say that Grandma Gu is sick and doesn't recognize anyone at all. Even if Grandma Gu is healthy, she may not be able to recognize her.

Unexpectedly, when she opened her mouth, Grandma Gu's expressionless face suddenly showed a hint of expression.

"Little Xi..." Grandma spoke suddenly, recognizing Lin You as Gu Xi.

For a moment, Lin You was at a loss and looked at Gu Xi with some guilt.

She just wanted to help, but she didn't expect grandma to regard her as Gu Xi...

Seeing the guilt on Lin You's face, Gu Xi smiled and patted her hand: "It's okay, it's normal, she even recognized me as the nurse's aunt before. But since she regarded you as me, can you Can't I ask you to pretend to be me and make my grandma happy?"

Lin You saw that Gu Xi was not sad because grandma admitted the wrong person, so she felt relieved, nodded and said, "There's nothing wrong with that, don't I just want to help you? But... I will only make the elders angry, coax People... how to coax them?"

Gu Xi took out two-thirds of the books she had read from her backpack and told Lin You: "My grandma likes to hear people read to her. In the past, it was my grandfather who read to her, and then it was me."

read?Lin You never thought that it would be such a simple matter to make people happy.

She smiled at Grandma Gu: "Grandma, I'm Xiaoxi, can I read to you?"

Grandma Gu didn't know if she understood, but looked at Lin You with a smile on her face.

Now that the weather is not too hot, they pushed grandma out of the room, and under the shade of a tree, Lin You found a comfortable position and sat on the grass, half leaning on Gu Xi, reading to Grandma Gu.

Gu Xi looked at Lin Youming and knew that grandma might not understand her words at all, but she still read to grandma seriously and without perfunctory.

Occasionally, there is a wind blowing, and the leaves are lifted to make a rustling sound, and there is a little temperature in the coolness.

Summer is really coming.

Gu Xi looked at Lin You who was leaning on her shoulder, smelled her pleasant smell, and couldn't help straightening her back to make her lean more comfortably...

Coming out of the nursing home, Gu Xi said to Lin You: "I said I was playing with you, but I asked you to read to my grandma for a long time."

"What's the matter? I think it's quite interesting, and you didn't feed the successful stewed egg with milk just now. I ate it as soon as I fed my grandma, which shows how attractive I am!"

However, after more than an hour of reading, she was somewhat tired. Lin You slumped on the back seat and yawned.

Gu Xi looked at her with a smile: "Then, where do you want to go next? What do you want to do? I will accompany you."

Talking about the next arrangement, Lin You immediately regained his energy: "I invited a few friends for dinner tonight, and I'll take you to meet them."

Suddenly hearing that he was going to meet Lin You's friend, Gu Xi showed a nervous expression on his usually indifferent face: "Your...friend?"

"Why, are you nervous?" Lin You approached her, put his arms on Gu Xi's shoulders, and smiled at her, "There are only four people in total, Lu Qing and Chen Yao are younger than me, Su Qianqian and Chang Le and we are classmates who have known each other since the attached middle school, and came to Ruize together. They are very nice and easy to get along with, but of course they are still a bit worse than me."

Gu Xi silently wrote down the name of the person Lin You just mentioned in her heart.

"Why did you suddenly think of taking me to meet your friends?"

Lin You said: "It wasn't sudden. In fact, I wanted to take you to meet them a long time ago, so that you would not be alone all day long. If I hadn't dragged you to lunch, you would have been alone in the corner forever." , won't you be lonely?"

Gu Xi was taken aback, she seemed to never have thought about this question.

Probably in these years, she has been able to coexist peacefully with loneliness, and she doesn't feel any discomfort.

But when Lin You said this, there was a trace of sourness that was not unbearable but hard to ignore on the tip of her heart.

It was as if an old scab had been lifted, revealing a wound that hadn't healed inside.

"It's okay, I'm actually used to it."

Seeing the flash of sadness in Gu Xi's eyes, Lin You's heart felt sore and aching as if someone had squeezed it.

"Gu Xi, I wanted to ask you earlier, your grades are so good, why did you stay a grade?"

The moment this question came out of Lin You's mouth, countless pictures and those sarcasm and vicious voices flooded into Gu Xi's mind.

"You fucking dare to come to school?!"

A girl wearing the No. [-] Middle School uniform grabbed Gu Xi by the collar and pushed her hard.

Another girl who was also wearing a school uniform cursed a word, stepped forward and slapped Gu Xi on the face, and five or six people surrounded her, either making heart-shattering laughter or saying nothing at all. Gu Xi spat and scolded.

"Why don't you talk anymore? University bully?"

"It's so disgusting, you, do your parents know that you are a pervert? Oh, yes, I forgot that you are a little bastard with no parents or parents."

"Kneel down, beg for mercy, say you are a pervert, and we will let you go."

"Speak! Why don't you speak!"

……

The voices from those deep memories buzzed in Gu Xi's mind non-stop. She flicked the rubber band around her wrist vigorously. Reality.

When those voices and pictures dissipated instantly, Gu Xi found that Lin You was looking at him worriedly.

"Gu Xi, what's wrong with you?" Lin You saw that Gu Xi's face was suddenly pale, and his expression was also a little painful, and even cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Gu Xi sighed weakly: "Lin You, can I not tell you about the grade repetition? I don't want to say it, and I don't want to lie to you."

She didn't want Lin You to know about the troubles she caused because of her sexual orientation exposure.

What is even more frightening is that if Lin You knew her sexual orientation, would she also show fear and disgust, calling her a pervert?

Just thinking of such a picture, Gu Xi's heart felt like it was being torn apart.

Lin You nodded quickly: "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. I didn't force you... I just want to know about your past. Are you okay? I think your face is so pale, otherwise we won't talk tonight I'm going to eat, and I can make an appointment another day."

She held Gu Xi's hand so guilty that she wanted to know Gu Xi better, but Gu Xi fell into pain unexpectedly.

Lin You couldn't imagine what Gu Xi had experienced before.

Gu Xi has always kept her emotions secret, and she has always been strong even though her fate is ill-fated.

The things that can clearly affect her emotions must be the past events that made her very sad.

Gu Xi's emotions have calmed down just now, and since returning to school, she hasn't fallen into the same emotions just now for a long time.It may be because of her feelings for Lin You that a little fear and anxiety arose deep in her heart, and it was because of Lin You's words that she fell into a demon.

She calmed down, and showed a gentle and calm smile to Gu Xi: "I'm fine, take me there, I'm looking forward to meeting Xiaoyou's friends."

"Really? Don't force it..." Lin You was still a little worried.

"Really, but why didn't you tell me earlier, so that I can prepare gifts for your good friends."

"What kind of gift do you prepare, just have a meal together."

The two continued to chat for a while, and during the silence, Gu Xi's gaze fell out of the car window involuntarily.

Lin You found that her thoughts were pulled away by something again.

Looking at her lonely profile, I felt a burst of sadness in my heart, and I couldn't help covering the back of Gu Xi's hand with my palm.

Gu Xi felt the warmth of her palm, and just as she was about to bow her head, Lin You rubbed her fingers into hers and interlocked with hers.

Whenever you want to talk, I will listen.

Lin You said in her heart, I will always be here.
