A thousand years

After An Yarong helped Gu Ruofan change into the new school uniform sent by the school, she looked at Gu Ruofan, who was standing in front of her with a delicate face, and felt that the more she looked at it, the more she liked it. Those big sparkling eyes, like small animals, are forever It was all crystal clear and wet.

"How does Xiaofan like it?"

Gu Ruofan looked at himself in the mirror, wearing a small white shirt with tie and a small navy blue suit, clean and tidy, and nodded with joy.

"The study arranged for Xiaofan is the school my brother attended before. The environment and the teachers are all excellent in City A. After Xiaofan goes to school, he must be obedient and study hard, you know?"

Gu Ruofan tilted his head, his eyes lit up, he looked at An Yarong and said, "Brother, did you go to elementary school? Did your brother go to school in such a school uniform as Xiaofan before?"

Looking at the expectant child, Anya Rong couldn't help laughing, and patted the child's head, "Every time you mention brother, your eyes shine. Mom will be jealous."

As he spoke, he sat on the sofa with the child in his arms, and his eyes were a little dazed, as if he had fallen into memories.

"At that time, Ah Huai was just like you, so small. However, since he was a child, he had a very indifferent personality, and he always looked expressionless. Basically, the children around him did not dare to do anything with him. It's a friend's." An Yarong rubbed Gu Ruofan's hair, as if thinking of Gu Huai when she was a child.

"However, Ah Huai has been very smart since he was a child, and he can learn everything very quickly. He doesn't even need us to teach him. He is only 15 years old now, and he has already learned all the courses he should learn. Xiaofan also needs to work hard. .”

Gu Ruofan looked up at An Yarong, smiled obediently, and nodded vigorously, "Xiaofan must work hard to become as good as my brother!"

"No, you don't have to be as good as your brother." An Yarong touched Gu Ruofan's head, sighed slightly, looked into Gu Ruofan's doubtful eyes, smiled, and said: "Ah Huai is the pride of my mother, he It's also the pride of the Gu family. But, Xiaofan, do you know that when my mother looked at Ah Huai before, she felt distressed."

Gu Ruofan met An Yarong and looked into his own smiling eyes, and almost instantly understood the meaning of An Yarong's words, and his whole body was shocked.

He loves Gu Huai, why not An Yarong?

A person who is indifferent by nature and outstanding enough to keep his peers at a respectful distance, even if he is the pride of the Gu family, a young president who is praised by others in City A, so what?

He's just a 15-year-old kid.

Some indescribable sourness spread from the deepest part of my heart. It seemed that I could imagine the young Gu Huai, with an expressionless and indifferent face, alone, with such a powerful figure, walking After so many years of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

"So, Xiao Fan, you don't have to be as good as your brother. Mom hopes that you can grow up happily and healthily."

When Gu Huai opened the door and walked in, he saw such a scene.

The mother hugged Gu Ruofan and patted him on the back slowly. The child's eyes were red and wet.

"What's the matter?" Gu Huai frowned slightly, looking at the child's face that was about to cry, his heart tightened a little.Perhaps it was because of a real destiny with this child, Gu Huai smiled wryly in his heart, fearing that the only person who could make him feel sorry for him with just a single expression was the only child in front of him.

Hearing Gu Huai's voice, Gu Ruofan suddenly jumped off the sofa and plunged into Gu Huai's arms.

"What's the matter?" Gu Huai raised his head, comforting the child with one hand, while asking his mother with his eyes.

Looking at Gu Ruofan who was huddled in Gu Huai's arms, An Yarong's heart felt warm. She only said a few words, and this child could understand her own meaning. She even wanted to cry because she felt sorry for her brother. He is the only good for so many years.An Yarong sighed, stood up, and said jokingly: "This kid, I miss my brother. You stay with him, and I'll go see how Mama Wu's lunch is going." After saying that, she got up left the room.

After An Yarong walked out of the room, Gu Huai squatted down. Before he even had time to change his clothes, he grabbed the child's shoulders and made him look into his eyes. Seeing that little face wrinkled and about to cry, Gu Huai frowned. The frowns deepened.

"Why don't you want to go to school?"

Gu Ruofan shook his head, looking at Gu Huai who was looking at him in every possible way, there were thousands of words in his heart, but he couldn't say a word.

"Why are you crying, haven't you already said it? Don't cry anymore. The school your mother arranged for you was attended by your brother when you were a child. The environment and everything are not bad. Don't cry." Gu Huai wiped it off gently. With tears on Gu Ruofan's face, he sighed secretly in his heart, feeling helpless but distressed.

"Brother..." Gu Ruofan hugged Gu Huai, smelling the unique smell on his body.

"En" seems to be because of the child's tears, and Gu Huai's voice can't help softening. If there are people who know or are familiar with it, Gu Dashao, who has always been indifferent and cruel, will show such tenderness for a person one day With such an extremely expression, his jaw might drop in shock.

"Xiaofan has been in the orphanage since he was very young. Although no one told me, Xiaofan has quietly heard from the director's uncle." Gu Ruofan looked at Gu Huai's face that he had seen thousands of times. , Said a little slowly.

Gu Huai picked up Gu Ruofan, walked to the sofa, loosened the tie around his neck, and quietly waited for the child's next words.

"what to say"

"They all said that Xiaofan was stupid, so my parents threw me into the orphanage and didn't want me." With a small body and big eyes, Gu Ruofan looked at Gu Huai and said innocently.

However, Gu Huai couldn't help but feel a little distressed. Such a young child, how much has he endured by himself in seven years? Stupid, brother knows."

"Yeah, Xiaofan has been thinking, why am I not stupid at all, I am the same as other children, I just don't like talking to them, why did my parents abandon me..." Gu Ruofan lowered her head , can't see the expression clearly.

"However, Xiaofan met my brother. Brother, you also said that, right? We were destined in the previous life." Gu Ruofan raised his head, his eyes like elks were full of Gu Huai's reflection.

"..." Gu Huai didn't know why the child suddenly recalled his life in the orphanage to him today, but he still patiently listened to him quietly. After all, only by saying it thoroughly can we bid farewell to the past and welcome the future Is not it

Hugging the child, Gu Huai's expression was gentle and his voice was low, "Xiaofan tell my brother what life was like in the orphanage before, okay?"

"That's it. They all said that I have a brain problem, so no one talks to me, and I'm just in a daze by myself."

With a nonchalant appearance and a plain tone, Gu Huai can almost imagine that a thin and thin child, staying alone in an empty room, without saying a word, can only open a pair of big eyes and look at the sky outside the window. look.

"I will not do it again."

"From the day I brought you back, you are a child of the Gu family, and my younger brother, Gu Huai. You are not stupid, you have a father and a mother."

Gu Huai's voice was a little deep, and it was transmitted to Gu Ruofan's ears through the dust floating in the air as a medium. There was a powerful force that warmed his eye sockets. It seemed that as long as he said it, people could not help but believe it.

Gu Ruofan tilted his head and laughed, "I stood there and told my brother not to leave, but my brother still ignored me and didn't look back. At that time, I thought my brother was really going to adopt Xiaomeng."

"Xiaomeng" Gu Huai was puzzled for a moment, and suddenly remembered the girl in the pink dress who was quiet like a doll, and suddenly realized.He hooked the child's nose, chuckled lightly and said, "But in the end, brother still chose you?"

"Hmph, Xiaofan doesn't like Xiaomeng!" Gu Ruofan said loudly with his eyes wide open a little angrily.

Gu Huai looked at the child who showed such emotions for the first time, a little funny, but his face was calm, raised his eyebrows, and asked: "What's the matter?"

"My brother only looked at her at the time, and didn't even look at me." Gu Ruofan looked away, a little jealous, but a little funny in his heart. He always felt that his current temperament was becoming more and more like a real seven-year-old child. She always wanted to act like a baby with his Ah Huai.

Gu Huai narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling the time when he took He Ran to the orphanage that day.

In fact, the first time I saw a child and saw his teary eyes, I felt my heart softened.It was really destined, Gu Huai shook his head, but he was extremely glad that he finally brought back the child in front of him.

"Will brother always be by Xiaofan's side in the future?"

Hearing the child's question, Gu Huai didn't think too much about it. He only thought that the child suddenly recalled the lonely seven years he spent in the orphanage, so he felt uneasy.Rubbing his soft hair, nodded.

"You won't be an orphan anymore, brother will tell you again, you have to remember it obediently, okay?"

Seeing Gu Ruofan nodding obediently, Gu Huai's voice was as deep as the setting sun at dusk, with a calming power. "You have parents, and me, and you will never be alone again, understand?"

"Also, don't cry anymore, boy, stand upright, you have to be stronger, you know?"

Gu Ruofan put her head on Gu Huai's chest, listening to the boy's heartbeat that he has loved for so many years and is now within reach, "Did brother ever cry when you were young?"

Gu Huai smiled lightly, "Brother is not like you, I never cry." Gu Huai is telling the truth, so far, he has never shed a tear, no matter what happens, no matter how difficult it is. Never had the thought of shedding tears.

Looking at it from Gu Ruofan's point of view, Gu Huai's expression was calm, as if he was just stating a trivial matter, but Gu Ruofan felt distressed instantly.

In the previous life, his Ah Huai was also like this, always looking strong and powerful, able to block all wind and rain for him.

"Brother will have Xiaofan in the future." Gu Ruofan hugged Gu Huai, blocking Gu Huai's eyes. From an angle he couldn't see, on his immature face, there was a tenderness that Gu Huai couldn't see.

Frowning, Gu Huai was a little taken aback at first, but in the next second he instantly understood what the child meant.

Taking his hand and pulling him in front of him, Gu Huai looked at the child in front of him with gentle eyes.

"Brother has you, and you have a brother."

"Do you still remember what I told you? I will protect you. You just need to be at ease, as a child of the Gu family, as my younger brother, Gu Huai, and grow up happily."

"Brother will spoil you, pamper you, and give you everything you should have and what you want. Brother will protect you well."

Looking at the handsome child in front of him, Gu Huai said silently in his heart, Xiaofan, since I regard you as my own brother, then my brother will try his best to give you everything you want.

Let you stay away from all the filth and filth in this world, and stay away from all the conspiracies and darkness. You only need to stay by your brother's side, be safe and happy, and see the bottom, that's enough.

Hearing Gu Huai's plain but firm promise, Gu Ruofan's eyes couldn't help being a little dazed. In his last life, his A Huai had also told him so.

At that time, Gu Huai hadn't ascended the throne yet, and he was just a lonely son who had lost his parents.

Although his father died in battle, Gu Ruofan, who had no support, was too weak-tempered in the huge palace, and didn't know how to get along with the people in the palace, so he offended a lot of people naturally.

By chance, Gu Ruofan was framed by the chief housekeeper of the palace and "accidentally" broke the queen's most beloved Xuanbingmengli jade bottle.It wasn't such a big deal at first, but under the instigation of a group of palace people, the queen was furious, and she was forcibly accused of being disrespectful.

The sun was very strong, so Gu Ruofan was punished to kneel on the stone slab outside the palace for more than ten hours.

That day coincided with Gu Huai's going to the emperor to discuss the state affairs, and he had no way of knowing Gu Ruofan's tragic situation until Gu Huai returned to the palace late at night and found that Gu Ruofan was not there. flew into a rage.

Gu Ruofan still remembered the way Gu Huai appeared in front of him that day, holding back his anger and distressed face, and stretched out his hand to him.That day the crown prince Gu Huai was furious, disregarding the emperor and queen, he rioted in the harem late at night, dragged out all the servants who had bullied Gu Ruofan one by one, and beat them all to death.

From now on, in this deep palace with strict hierarchy, unpredictable people, and cannibalism, no one dares to neglect Gu Ruofan in the slightest.

When Gu Huai returned to the bedroom with a strong smell of blood all over his body, he had a cold expression on his face, but his eyes looking at Gu Ruofan were as gentle as bones.

"Ruofan, my hands are covered with blood, are you afraid of me?"

"I am willing to hold a sword and use my blood to kill and protect you for the rest of your life. You just need to stand behind me."

"From now on, no matter if I am the crown prince of Southern Chu, or the future emperor, I will be your biggest backer. Whoever bullies you, you will take revenge on me. A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye."

"Ruofan, I will protect you."
