Fantastic!
Looks like I can take Cute to celebrate tomorrow, now that she has finally let go of everything from her past.
Without Gu Liancheng around, Cute can act as fussy as she likes. If she refuses to sleep in Jiujiuās room, thatās fine; at this age, even though itās better if they sleep independently, they can always sleep with their parents from time to time.
Plus, Eleven enjoys sharing her bed with Cute. She needs to cherish these moments when she can hug her all day long.
Then, Cute asks again: "Has that Uncle Shu left yet?"
"..."
She has no idea.
Since her last visit, she hasnāt heard any knocking. She doesnāt know if he has left yet.
"Never mind now, letās sleep."
"But... if Uncle Shu hasnāt left and he is sleeping outside alone, isnāt that bad? Even if we donāt mind him, we should call his family to pick him up."
Cuteās words left Eleven restless. After tossing and turning, she finally got up.
Cute had not fallen asleep either and quickly climbed out of bed.
"I will accompany you! If Mr. Gu misunderstands you, I will vouch for you!"
Eleven gave a wry smile.
She didnāt worry about that.
If Gu Liancheng couldnāt even offer her this bit of trust, they would have many disagreements if they were to be together in the future.
Eleven didnāt overthink it. She always lived upright, not fearing any false accusations.
Cute followed behind Eleven, tiptoeing around as if they were thieves.
She quietly opened the door and peeked outā
Indeed...
Eleven was at a loss for words. He really hadnāt left!
If they hadnāt come out to check, every household would find an unknown man sleeping in front of their house tomorrow morning!
It looked like he had drunk a lot, and now he was asleep against the wall.
His phone lay beside his hand on the ground.
Eleven squatted down to pick up his phone and then closed the door. She walked towards the window.
"Eleven, your ex-boyfriend still seems to like you." Gu Mengmeng hopped over to her side.
Eleven casually ruffled Cuteās hair: "What are you talking about? You are just a child. What do you know about liking someone?"
"Of course I know! I didnāt watch all that TV drama for nothing! Liking someone means wanting to kiss and hug them and be with them all the time!"
"...Gu Mengmeng, reduce your consumption of meaningless idol dramas!"
"...Oh! Now that youāre with Mr. Gu, you donāt love me anymore!"
"..." Is that so?
Reflecting on the way she had just spoken, it did seem to be the case...
"No," Gu Mengmeng pouted, "The Oppas are my spiritual nourishment, I canāt live without them!"
Sheās drunk!
Eleven was exasperated.
Yet this was not the time to talk about Oppas. She dialed Jin Xiangnanās number, "Hey, Brother South, could you come to my house? The address is..."
While waiting for Jin Xiangnan, Gu Mengmeng refused to sleep, and the two of them sat in the living room, chatting about life.
"Eleven," Cute hugged her knees, looking at Eleven, "We really hope you and my dad could get back together. That way, Jiujiu and I wonāt have to deal with new parents."
Eleven was touched.
This must come from the most sincere thoughts of a child.
No matter how intelligent they are, they long for genuine warmth from a family.
"But! You canāt let Mr. Gu win you over that easily! Otherwise, heāll be the one in charge of our home. Thatās not good at all!"
