pamper her

Chapter 37

Gu Yanci instantly forgot that he had been thinking about avoiding suspicion in the middle of the night, walked to the bed in two steps, and looked at her by the light of the night light.

Li Mianmian's face was full of tears, and her expression was full of fear, as if she had dreamed of something extremely terrifying.

Gu Yanci put the water glass on the bedside table, covered her forehead with his palm, and said in a low voice: "Mumu, brother is here, wake up."

Perhaps it was because Li Mianmian cried even harder when she heard "Brother".

She waved her hands in the air in a panic and accidentally grabbed his collar.

Gu Yanci felt the back of his neck being strangled, so he had to bend down obediently.

Li Mianmian tugged at him with one hand, as if grasping at straws, her fingertips turned slightly white.

The other hand seemed to be resisting something, constantly making scratching movements.

Because Gu Yanci was too close, his neck was inevitably affected, and the place where she scratched was burning hot, and soon a few bright red slender bloodstains appeared.

But he didn't notice it, he just watched Li Mianmian's situation.

"...help me..." Gu Yanci heard her faint murmur, "brother...help me..."

"Here is my brother."

Gu Yanci patted her face, trying to wake her up, but his hands were wet.

Li Mianmian was so deep in the nightmare that she couldn't wake up no matter what.

Gu Yanci simply turned on the bedroom light and took out two pieces of paper to wipe her sweat.

The bright light made Li Mianmian frown.

After a while, her eyelids trembled twice, and she finally woke up slowly, staring blankly at the ceiling, panting urgently and heavily, and hadn't escaped from the terrifying nightmare.

"It's me." Gu Yanci leaned closer, blocking her sight with his face, "Mumu, you're having a nightmare."

Seeing him, Li Mianmian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised her body and plunged into his arms.

Gu Yanci supported the back of her head with one hand, and patted her back gently with the other: "It's okay, brother is here, it's okay."

Li Mianmian tightly grabbed the hem of his shirt, and silently soaked the fabric at the neckline.

After about ten minutes, she finally calmed down gradually.

At this moment, Gu Yanci's neck was already a little sore.

Li Mianmian let him go, pulled up the quilt and wiped off the remaining tears on her face, and buried her head in silence.

Gu Yanci rubbed the top of her hair gently, picked up the water glass and handed it to her lips: "Come and drink some water."

Li Mianmian opened her mouth and bit the rim of the cup, but did not make any further movements.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Yanci put his hand on her chin, raised the cup slightly, and half-forced her to feed her some water.

"Is it better?" He wiped off the water stains on her lips with the pulp of his thumb, and asked in a gentle voice, "Do you want to continue to sleep now? Or do you want to talk to brother?"

Li Mianmian shook her head, lay down again, pinched the edge of the quilt, and looked straight at him.

After a pause, she reached out her hand from under the quilt and grabbed his hem.

"Brother..." She tightened her fingers, "Can you wait until I fall asleep before leaving?"

Li Mianmian looked at him, as if wanting to imprint his face in his mind, and then closed his eyes after a while.

As the darkness shrouded, the images in the dream began to flash in his mind again.

Her breathing became uncontrollably rapid, wrapped in fear that made her hair tingle.

Li Mianmian opened her eyes, probably not going to sleep in a short time.

"Brother." She called out.

Gu Yanci bowed his head: "Huh?"

"I……"

Li Mianmian's throat got stuck, and it took her a long time to continue, "Does it really look good when I dress like that today?"

Gu Yanci laughed: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"..." Li Mianmian said coyly, "I just want to ask."

"It looks good." Gu Yanci said slowly, "Mumu grows up, she looks good in anything she wears."

"Just..." Li Mianmian bit her lower lip, her voice lowered, "Is it just good-looking?"

Gu Yanci thought for a while, but didn't quite understand what she meant: "What else should there be?"

"...I don't know..." Li Mianmian's eyes started to turn red again, and her speech became incoherent, "I don't know if everyone looks at me like that, or if it's just them... I, I don't know if this is mine. Wrong, or their fault... I don't know what to do..."

"Don't worry." Gu Yanci's steady voice was like a sedative, and like a gentle breeze blowing through spring water, "Listen, brother, speak slowly."

Probably not knowing how to speak, Li Mianmian fell silent with her eyes downcast.

Gu Yanci didn't urge him, but just waited quietly.

After a while, she stammered and said, "...they, they said that I..."

Li Mianmian swallowed, her voice was so low that she could hardly hear it: "Sao."

"..."

Gu Yanci lowered his face, his gaze was as sharp as a knife, and a piercing chill oozes from his voice: "Who?"

"That person today..." Li Mianmian wished she could bury her head in the quilt, "And...the person from before..."

Gu Yanci didn't answer for a moment.

His chest was as still as a pool of stagnant water, he could hardly feel his breathing, and he felt oppressed by a rainstorm.

Li Mianmian carefully raised her eyes to look at him.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the lights in the room suddenly became very dim, and the darkness came from all directions, making it hard to breathe.

A terrifying aura emanated from Gu Yanci's body, blending with the surrounding darkness.

Li Mianmian was a little scared, and called out timidly, "...Brother?"

"Ah."

Gu Yanci responded, then lowered his body and asked, "Who was that person before?"

"..."

Li Mianmian pursed her lips, and said weakly: "Already, already dead..."

"Oh." Gu Yanci curled his lower lip, "I escaped pretty quickly."

"..."

"Those who say such things are only low-level species that have not yet completed evolution. We high-level intelligent creatures will appreciate beauty." Gu Yanci stroked her face comfortingly, and continued, "Why bother with paramecium-like things? up?"

Li Mianmian was puzzled: "Paramecia?"

Gu Yanci: "Didn't you learn biology in junior high school?"

"..."

Li Mianmian remembered.

— Paramecium, a lower organism that uses the same place for feeding and excreting.

She couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so good at cursing..."

"Did I scold someone?" Gu Yanci smiled and said, "I'm not scolding people."

"..."

Li Mianmian sniffed, and somehow her mood improved.

Because of today's events, she already had some resistance to formal clothes, but when he scolded her, her negative emotions disappeared in an instant.

"I can fall asleep now." She shook Gu Yanci's arm slightly, "Thank you brother."

Seeing that her mood improved, the depression surrounding Gu Yan's resignation gradually dissipated.

"Don't doubt yourself because of something like that," he said. "It's not your fault, you know?"

"En." Li Mianmian nodded.

"What you wear is your freedom." Gu Yanci said, "As long as the occasion is suitable, as long as you like it."

Lin Jian subconsciously wanted to keep nodding, but after thinking about it, she asked, "What do you mean by a suitable occasion?"

"For example," Gu Yanci replied with a serious face, "Don't wear bikinis on the street where people gather, don't wear leather pants on formal occasions, etc."

After a pause for a few seconds, he said again: "However, if you just like to wear it like this, it's fine."

Li Mianmian was already shocked after hearing what he said before, but she didn't expect him to say that it's okay to wear it like that, so she couldn't help being startled: "Huh?"

Gu Yanci laughed: "As long as you don't run around naked, my brother will support you."

"..."

Li Mianmian was in a complicated mood: "What you said...I think it's very likely that someone will beat you..."

"Yes." Gu Yanci nodded very seriously, "So when you plan to dress like this in the future, remember to tell your brother in advance, and he will go and get beaten for you."

"..."

"Or." Gu Yanci said, "Brother will help you call back."

Li Mianmian lifted the quilt to cover her head, and said in a low voice, "I don't want it."

"Don't suffocate."

Gu Yanci pulled off the quilt, looked at her for a while, and suddenly called her: "Mianmian."

Li Mianmian raised her head: "What?"

"Next time if you want to wear a short skirt, or if you need to wear a formal dress like today, can you tell your brother?" Gu Yanci's tone was a little cautious, "Because she is so beautiful, my brother is worried that I will The wood was stolen by the paramecium... okay?"

"...I know." Li Mianmian couldn't laugh or cry, and couldn't help feeling sore inside, "You don't have to talk to me like this...I'm not a child..."

Gu Yanci sighed softly: "I just want to tell you that it's not your fault what you wear. But there will always be a few things in the world that are not fully evolved, and we don't need to abandon beautiful little things just because of them." skirt, but at the same time brother also wants to protect your safety, you know?"

Li Mianmian felt that her eyes started to heat up again, biting her lip for a long time before saying "um".

"Hurry up and go to bed." Gu Yanci patted her head, "Good night."
-
The next day, Li Mianmian went to tell her senior what happened the night before, and that afternoon, her senior really reminded her to get off work early that afternoon.

It was only before six o'clock, and Li Mianmian wanted to make up for the late-night snack that he hadn't eaten before, so he went to the snack street again.

On the way back, when he saw the alley yesterday from a distance again, Li Mianmian still felt lingering fear.

She hurried across the road, followed the crowd, and went home according to the usual route.

Near the neighborhood, Li Mianmian remembered that Gu Yanci was injured yesterday at the entrance of the alley opposite, so she couldn't help but glance over there.

It was this glance that made her see a man who looked very similar to Gu Yanci passing by, and quickly disappeared at the entrance of the alley.

……is it him?

Li Mianmian immediately stayed where she was, took out her phone from her bag, hesitated again and again, and sent a message to Gu Yanci.

Because she knew that Gu Yanci was very busy, she would not send messages to disturb him at this time.

But since she moved here, no matter how busy Gu Yanci is, whenever he receives a message from her, he always responds in seconds.

After sending the message, Li Mianmian waited on the spot for 3 minutes, but still did not receive any reply.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the person just now must be Gu Yanci.

After struggling for a few more minutes, Li Mianmian decided to go and have a look.

But yesterday's incident made her learn to be vigilant, so she didn't go directly, but went to the security booth at the door first, and left her things there except her mobile phone. She also told the two security guards about the situation and told them to separate Pay attention to the diagonally opposite side for 2 minutes, and then walk over there nervously.

When he arrived near the entrance of the alley, Li Mianmian vaguely heard a few howls coming from inside, as if someone was fighting.

She cautiously slid along the high wall, peeking in with one eye peeking in from the corner——

The field of vision expanded inch by inch, and gradually included a tall man with long legs.

It was Gu Yan's resignation.
