Chapter 1620 Autistic Girl Painter VS Sickly Adoptive Father (26)
At the door of Leng Su's room.
As soon as Gu Xiu arrived, the door was opened from the inside, and a petite figure rushed straight into his arms.
The little girl hugged him tightly with her trembling body, and Gu Xiu quickly hugged her, holding her in his arms and patting her back to comfort her...
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here."
"It's just thunder, it's okay."
"I'm here, don't be afraid."
Under Gu Xiu's comfort, it took a long time for Leng Su's body to stop trembling, and she raised her head timidly and looked at him.
Gu Xiu lowered his head, and Leng Su's pitiful expression came into his eyes.
At the same time, her bare feet, her exposed hands and two long legs also came into his sight.
Gu Xiu frowned immediately, bent down to pick her up, walked into the room, put her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.
He was about to turn around to turn on the light, but Leng Su grabbed his hand tightly.
With the occasional flash of lightning outside the window and the bright lights in the corridor, Gu Xiu clearly saw the fear on Leng Su's little face.
He patted her little hand soothingly and explained, "I'll turn on the light."
Hearing this, Leng Su still didn't let go of his hand, and her five fingers sank deeply into the flesh of his arm.
Feeling the pain, Gu Xiu felt helpless and could only sit down on the bed. Leng Su quickly took advantage of the situation and threw herself into his arms.
Holding his waist tightly with both hands, Leng Su looked up at him. In the darkness, her pair of starry eyes seemed to be flashing with dazzling light, firmly grasping his sight.
"Don't... go..."
In the darkness, her little mouth moved slightly, and she muttered softly like a mosquito.
"Don't... leave... me..."
"I'm... afraid..."
"Mom... Mom..."
The last two words successfully made Gu Xiu freeze.
Everything that happened that night emerged from the depths of his memory again, constantly replaying in his mind.
Car accident, explosion, fire, heavy rain...
The woman's pleading voice, the woman's red eyes, her face covered with scars and blood.
The girl in his arms began to sob softly at some point.
This was the second time Gu Xiu saw her cry after that night.
"Boom boom boom."
Outside the window, the thunder and lightning were still roaring, and the heavy rain was still raging.
Gu Xiu lowered his head, looking at Leng Su in his arms absentmindedly, feeling the wet touch from his chest.
Ten years...
Gu Xiu suddenly couldn't help but be curious...
How did she spend the countless lightning and thunder, heavy rain and dark nights in the past ten years alone?
Did she curl up and cry in the quilt?
Or did she lock herself in the closet like before, bury herself in a pile of clothes, and shiver?
So, to what extent has he ignored her in the past ten years?
So, in the past ten years, how many times has he missed her despair and crying?
At the beginning, he had clearly promised that woman that he would take good care of her...
He always thought that although he didn't take good care of her, he at least took good care of her.
But he didn't expect that he suddenly woke up today. In addition to making sure she had enough food and clothing, he seemed to have never really cared about her.
A strong sense of guilt emerged from Gu Xiu's heart, drowning him...
