Be affectionate

"Lin You, my grandma is gone."

When Gu Xi opened his mouth, his tone changed completely.

At this moment, her mind was still in a daze, just now she was still thinking about what book to read to her after seeing her grandma tomorrow.

Still wanting grandma to see her acceptance letter.

Even though grandma's condition was already very bad before, Gu Xi was mentally prepared, but when this moment really came, Gu Xi still couldn't bear it.

Her body was shaking uncontrollably from the extreme pain.

Lin You had never seen Gu Xi like this before, almost out of instinct, he hugged her tightly and wrapped her in his arms.

Gu Xi's tears instantly soaked Lin You's clothes, she pressed her face lightly on Lin You's shoulders, and cried silently, her thin back was heaving and falling in the depression, feeling uncontrollable.

Grandma is her last relative in this world.

The father who disappeared and was wanted, the mother who suddenly appeared and disappeared, none of them are Gu Xi's family members.

Gu Xi couldn't control the grief that pierced his heart like a knife.

In this world, she was the only one left.

"Lin You...I have no family anymore."

Gu Xi's hoarse voice, choked up voice, broken words, and the restraint he showed when he was extremely sad made Lin You's heart almost break along with it.

Lin You had heard that Grandma Gu was not in a good condition before, but she didn't expect to leave so quickly.

She stroked the top of Gu Xi's head tenderly, and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, I will always be with you, I, I am your family."

Grandma Gu's meaning to Gu Xi is very clear to Lin You, so she is not afraid that Gu Xi will cry into tears, but that Gu Xi will hold all the sorrows in her heart and refuse to pour them out.

Thinking back to when Grandpa Gu left, Gu Xi was alone, and had to face what happened to Grandpa after his death, and also take care of Grandma and the lawsuit of the perpetrator.

If the old man hadn't brought her back, Lin You couldn't have imagined how Gu Xi would face these things alone.

Lin You coaxed her patiently, letting Gu Xi wet half of her shoulders from crying.

It wasn't until Gu Xi calmed down a little that he asked softly, "Do you want to wash your face? I'll get you an ice pack, or your eyes will be uncomfortable tomorrow."

Gu Xi nodded, but when Lin You was about to leave, she subconsciously stretched out her hand to hold Lin You.

Immediately realizing the abruptness of her behavior, when she wanted to let go, Lin You smiled and patted her head.

"I will be back soon."

Lin You said that she would come back soon, and she came back very quickly. After going out for only 2 minutes, she took an ice pack wrapped in a towel and sat in front of Gu Xi.

Seeing that Gu Xi's eyes were a little red and swollen from crying, she raised her hand to gently stroke Gu Xi's eyes, and carefully put the ice pack on them.

The moment the cool touch touched the eyes, it relieved the soreness caused by crying for too long.

Gu Xi raised her hand to get the ice pack: "I'll do it myself."

Lin You pressed her hand back: "Just sit obediently."

Gu Xi's emotions have calmed down a bit, although the sadness in his heart seeps out endlessly, but he has been able to control his emotions.

Looking back a year ago, when Grandpa left, she was still able to face everything with strength.

Now I don't know if it is because of Lin You's existence that she has become much weaker.

"I'll be fine with a little ice, and I have to go to the nursing home to see grandma for the last time."

As she spoke, hearing what she said, her nose started to sore again, and she quickly took a deep breath to suppress the pain in her heart. She couldn't continue crying, and there were still many things she needed to deal with.

Lin You glanced at the time, it was past eleven o'clock.

Go to the nursing home at this time, and come back again, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep all night.

But she couldn't open her mouth to persuade Gu Xi to go again tomorrow, it was the grandma she cared about most.

"Take it easy, I'll ask Uncle Zhang to get out of the car, and I'll go with you."

Gu Xi shook his head and said, "I can go by myself. By the way, Grandpa Lin is already asleep. Don't wake him up about this matter. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

She didn't refuse to ask Uncle Zhang to help her. It might not be possible to get a taxi here in the villa area so late.

"How could I let you go by yourself!"

Lin You's tone was unquestionable, she gave Gu Xi the ice pack for herself, then called Uncle Zhang, briefly explained the matter, and asked Uncle Zhang to drive out the car and wait for them at the door.

Gu Xi insisted: "I can do it myself, you don't need to accompany me."

Lin You's tone was extremely firm, and he didn't say much to her at all, "I won't let you go alone, change your clothes first, Uncle Zhang is already waiting at the door."

Knowing that Lin You made a decision, Gu Xi would not change it, and stopped arguing, so she changed her clothes and went out with Lin You.

As soon as she got in the car, Gu Xi suddenly remembered that her grandma's documents are all with her, and these are probably indispensable for both the death certificate and the nursing home procedures.

She wanted to get out of the car to get it, but Lin You pushed her back into the seat.

"Where is the thing? Tell me, and I'll get it."

Gu Xi was crying just now, but now she is really tired, "It's in the middle drawer, in a small blue cloth bag."

Lin You ran back quickly. After entering the room, she went straight to the table and opened the drawer. The first thing she saw was the small blue cloth bag that Gu Xi said contained the documents.

She picked up the cloth bag and was about to close the drawer when her eyes fell on a piece of paper that was pressed under the cloth bag.

The big words "dormitory application form" fell into her eyes, she pulled out the piece of paper and found that she read it correctly.

This school boarding form has been filled out, with Gu Xi's name on it.

Lin You looked at the application form, and unprecedented panic spread from the bottom of his heart.

Originally, I thought that I was doing decently these days, but occasionally I acted like a baby because of Gu Xi's favor.

But did not expect ...

Gu Xi can't stand her anymore, do you want to run away from her?

At the same time, Gu Xi who was in the car suddenly remembered that the application form in the drawer seemed to be pressed under her grandmother's ID bag. If Lin You went to get it, would she see it?

Thinking of this, Gu Xi's heart suddenly lifted.

She quickly got out of the car and went to the room. When she opened the door, she saw Lin You closing the drawer.

Gu Xi's heart was beating wildly, and she was lucky, hoping that Lin You didn't see the dormitory application form.

Lin You turned around, walked towards her with her head down, raised her hand and handed the cloth bag containing the documents to Gu Xi.

The moment he raised his head, the tears that he had endured for a long time finally fell from his eyes.

Originally, she wanted to hold back these emotions.

Gu Xi's grandma just passed away, and she didn't want to add more trouble to Gu Xi because of her emotions.

However, when she saw Gu Xi's face, her emotions were out of her control at all, and she smashed down like a bead with a broken thread.

"Do you want to avoid me that much..."

As soon as Lin You opened her mouth, she couldn't stop crying.

Seeing Lin You's tears, Gu Xi's heart was crushed.

Lin You really saw it.

She opened her mouth to explain, but found that she seemed to have nothing to explain.

She originally wanted to avoid Lin You, but because of the temporary peace with Lin You and self-deception about this relationship, she greedily wanted more time with Lin You.

Lin You tilted his head and wiped his tears vigorously, then took a deep breath.

"Stop talking, I don't want to hear it."

She didn't want to cry in front of Gu Xi, she looked ashamed and useless, as if a worthless child would make trouble for no reason because she couldn't eat candy.

After leaving a sentence "I'll wait for you in the car", he quickly left Gu Xi's room with his head down.

Gu Xi walked to the table and slowly opened the drawer.

The forgotten dormitory application form was wrinkled and lying in its original place.

prior to.

The moment Lin You saw this application form, anger and grievance occupied her brain at the same time. She clutched the damn application form and huddled it into a ball trying to throw it into the trash can.

But in the end she didn't do that.

The palm of my hand hurt when I held it, the application form became crumpled, and the peak of the anger in Lin You's heart also slowly dropped.

After all, Lin You didn't throw away the application form.

She looked at Gu Xi's name written on it, her delicate handwriting, and bit her lip to hold back her tears.

Reluctantly, he unfolded it again, pressed it hard until it was flat, and put it back in the drawer.

……

Seeing the wrinkles on the application form and the smoothness that has been carefully laid out, Gu Xi can imagine Lin You's mental process.

Gu Xi raised her head, trying to hold back the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her red eyes.

Thinking of Lin You being sad, Gu Xi's heart softened in a mess, and he was so uncomfortable that he almost shattered.

Why do I have to make the person I like so sad?

Gu Xi asked herself, why are you so useless?

……

Lin You still accompanied her to the nursing home.

On the way to the nursing home, Lin You turned his head out of the car the whole time and said nothing.

Silence is like a cage, tightly locking Gu Xi.

This was the most difficult moment in Gu Xi's life. Grandma's death and Lin You's sadness invaded at the same time, tearing her heart.

When we arrived at the nursing home, grandma's body had been cleaned up, put on clean clothes, and her hair was neatly combed. She was lying on the hospital bed as if she had fallen asleep.

The nurse's aunt told Gu Xi that grandma didn't suffer too much, she walked away in her sleep.

Gu Xi took a deep breath, suppressing the grief.

Lin You said to the nurse and Uncle Zhang: "Let's go out and wait, let Gu Xi and grandma be alone and talk."

Gu Xi heard her words and looked at her gratefully.

But Lin You didn't look at Gu Xi the whole time, and only left a back view of Gu Xi and went out.

Gu Xi and her grandma, who had already fallen asleep, were left in the room.

Gu Xi half-kneeled in front of grandma's bed, held grandma's already stiff arm, and gently lifted it to stick it on her face.

"grandmother."

Even though grandma could no longer hear, Gu Xi still spoke softly to grandma as usual.

She doesn't know whether there will be a soul after death, but she is willing to believe that if there is a soul, grandma must have met grandpa in another world.

There is no disease or pain in the world after death, only the warm sunshine and endless comfort that grandma likes most.

"Grandma... Thank you. I am very happy to be your granddaughter in this life."

Gu Xi closed her eyes, her trembling eyelashes were already wet with tears.

Saying goodbye to grandma for the last time, Gu Xi put grandma's arm back under the quilt, arranged her clothes, and pinned her favorite hairpin on the hair beside her ear.

Since grandpa left, she and grandma have been taken care of by the Lin family, and Gu Xi doesn't want to bother the Lin family with grandma's funeral.

She approached the staff of the nursing home and wanted to handle her grandma's affairs by herself.

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Lin had already bought a full set of services for grandma, including the nursing home responsible for the whole process of funeral after grandma passed away.

The staff of the nursing home said to her: "Miss Gu, please express your condolences. We will make arrangements for your grandma's funeral. You can tell me if you have any needs."

After thinking for a while, Gu Xi shook his head and said, "There is no other request, thank you."

The staff confirmed the date of the memorial service and cremation with Gu Xi and left.

At three o'clock in the morning, when Gu Xi came out of the staff's reception room, she didn't know if she was exhausted physically and mentally. She suddenly felt a little dizzy, her feet felt as if she had stepped on cotton, and she almost fell to her knees when she bent her knees.

He stretched out a hand out of nowhere and grabbed her.

After Gu Xi stood firm, she turned around and saw that the person supporting her was Lin You.

"Thank you." She thanked in a low voice.

Lin You didn't respond, and was silent for a moment before asking, "Can I go?"

Gu Xi nodded.

But Lin You didn't let go, and helped her to go out, "Go to sleep for a while, I have already found someone to arrange the room. I will help you watch over grandma, and come back when you wake up."

She broke Lin You's heart, but Lin You was still guarding her silently, arranging everything properly for her.

The better Lin You treats her, the more uneasy the guilt that follows her everywhere.
