1507 A warm memory
Gao Yushi slowly raised her head to look at the stunned Jiang wuheng and suddenly said,âYou, do you still remember?â
âWhat?â Jiang wuheng answered in confusion. What did that mean? What do you mean remember or not?
âYou really donât remember.â Gao Yushiâs face revealed a calm smile, and a trace of sadness flashed through her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
âIs this ⊠Candied gourd?â Jiang wuheng scratched his head and asked in confusion.
âYes, candied gourd.â Gao Yushi gently nodded, then lowered her head again to look at the dried candied gourd in her hand. Her eyes became misty, as if she could see far away through the candied gourd.
Jiang wuheng didnât interrupt Gao Yushiâs thoughts when he saw her like this. He could tell that Gao Yushi seemed to be recalling something.
Gao Yushiâs eyes became more and more distant, but the corners of her mouth curled into a faint smile. That year, she was only five years old. During the Lantern Festival, she had pestered her family to take her to the town at the foot of the mountain to see the lanterns. Her mother held her hand and brought her to look at the lanterns with great interest. However, she did not expect that someone in the Cang lang sect would rebel and plan this for a long time. That time, she was prepared to take the mother and daughter as hostages. In order to protect her, her mother was seriously injured. Although she was fine, she had been separated from her mother in the crowd. She didnât dare to cry for fear of attracting the attention of the Cang lang sectâs rebels. She could only cry silently and bite her lips. In the end, she hid in the corner of an alley in fear and waited for her family to save her. At that time, she was really scared. It was as if she was the only one left in the world. The clamor outside had nothing to do with her. She was cold and hungry, so she buried her head and squatted in the corner, shivering.
âLittle girl, whatâs wrong?â Suddenly, she heard a voice.
She shuddered and raised her head warily, only to see a little boy who was not much older than her looking at her. His eyes were very bright. She didnât answer and just looked at him in a daze. Those eyes were so beautiful, just like the stars in the sky her mother had mentioned.
âAre you lost? And then secretly cry here?â Seeing that she did not answer, the little boy chuckled and sat beside her.âOr did you sneak out to play on your own? Hehe, what a coincidence, I also sneaked out. My family members donât like me anyway, so I wonât hang around in front of them. â
The little girl was stunned. She turned to look at the boy who was giggling beside her. How could he say such words with a smile?
âDonât cry, look at you, youâre crying like a little cat. â The little boy giggled and reached out to wipe the tears off the little girlâs face.âLook, you look so much better now. Youâll definitely be the most beautiful woman in the world in the future. Believe me. Iâm going to be the number one fortune-teller in the future!â
âPfft âŠâ The little girl finally laughed. How could there be such a person? The worldâs number one divine fortune-teller?
âYou see, you look so much better when you smile. This is for you to eat. â The little boy took out a stick of candied Haws from behind him as if he was performing a magic trick, and brought it to the little girlâs mouth without any explanation.
The bright red candied gourd shone with an alluring luster, and the little girl couldnât help but open her mouth to take a bite.
âItâs delicious, right? Iâll send you home after youâre done eating. â The little boyâs eyes curved into crescents as he smiled.
The little girl nodded and looked at the boyâs bright eyes, unable to say anything.
In the end, the little girlâs family came looking for her anxiously. The little girl threw herself into her familyâs arms, and when she came back to her senses and wanted to look for the little boy, he was already gone.
