It's nothing … "Gu Qingcheng stroked Yun Liuli's head and said softly to her," I just suddenly thought of some work-related matters. It has nothing to do with you. Go to sleep first! "
Yun Liuli naturally grabbed Gu Qingcheng's large hand and swayed it coquettishly. "Then … Uncle Qingcheng, can you sleep with me? I'm scared to sleep alone … "
Seeing that Gu Qingcheng didn't say anything, Yun Liuli swayed Gu Qingcheng's arm again, her voice as soft as a kitten's. "Uncle Qingcheng …"
"Go to sleep first. I'll come after I finish smoking this cigarette!" Gu Qingcheng said to Yun Liuli as he raised the cigarette between his long and slender fingers.
"Then I'll wait here for Uncle Qingcheng to smoke!" Yun Liuli revealed an innocent smile, then said to Gu Qingcheng, "Uncle Qingcheng is so nice. My papa doesn't allow me to pester him like this. I'm scared at night and want to sleep with papa, but I can't sleep with papa every day …"
The young lady stood at the door of the balcony and spoke her mind to Gu Qingcheng. As she spoke, she sounded aggrieved. "Because papa has to sleep with mama, it's inconvenient for me to be around. But in a year … it's good enough that papa can stay at home for 60 days. I'm always alone at home waiting for papa …"
The young lady made herself sound very pitiful, but Gu Qingcheng listened attentively from the balcony.
It was no wonder the psychiatrist said that Yun Liuli lacked a sense of security …
Thinking of Yun Shoushan, who died because of him, Gu Qingcheng sighed. He placed the unlit cigarette, cigarette box, and lighter on the round glass table on the balcony, then said to Yun Liuli, "Let's go back to sleep!"
"Uncle Qingcheng, you're not smoking anymore?" Yun Liuli raised her head and gazed at Gu Qingcheng with teary eyes.
"Mm, I'm not smoking anymore!" Gu Qingcheng accompanied Yun Liuli back to the room, drew the curtains, and lay down.
"Uncle Qingcheng, I think it's better not to smoke. My papa doesn't smoke. Papa said that cigarettes aren't a good thing!"
Gu Qingcheng answered absent-mindedly.
The young lady hugged his arm to sleep just like she did that night. After sleeping for a while, Yun Liuli asked, "Uncle Qingcheng … can I put my leg over yours?"
Not hearing Gu Qingcheng reply, Yun Liuli said softly, "It's uncomfortable lying on my side …"
"Go on! Hurry up and sleep … "Gu Qingcheng whispered.
Yun Liuli's long and slender leg rested on Gu Qingcheng's thigh. She closed her eyes in satisfaction, not forgetting to say, "Uncle Qingcheng, you're so nice!"
When Yun Liuli said the word "good," Gu Qingcheng really couldn't say anything else …
Even though Yun Liuli's leg was pressing down on the wrong place … how could he ask a child?
Enduring the discomfort in his body, Gu Qingcheng wanted to wait until Yun Liuli fell asleep!
But the moment he closed his eyes, the image of Yun Liuli, who had lost her youthful and matured figure, was the image of Yun Liuli in his arms that night in his dream.
"Uncle Qingcheng …" Yun Liuli suddenly raised her head and looked at Gu Qingcheng with her big eyes. She lifted the blanket and was about to lower her head to look for something under the blanket. "Uncle Qingcheng, what are you hiding under the blanket? It's poking my leg!"
Gu Qingcheng's ears were burning up. He pressed down on the blanket and said to Yun Liuli with a frown, "Sleep well!"
There was a hint of anger in Gu Qingcheng's tone, making Yun Liuli jump …
It was clearly his problem, yet he was venting his anger on Yun Liuli. Gu Qingcheng also felt that this wasn't good. After adjusting his emotions, he said to Yun Liuli, "Go to sleep … Uncle Qingcheng will be back soon after I smoke a cigarette!"
"Uncle Qingcheng!"
This time, the young lady's aggrieved voice wasn't able to stop Gu Qingcheng. Gu Qingcheng went to the balcony, closed the balcony door, and lit a cigarette …
The curtains were drawn inside. At the thought that Yun Liuli couldn't see him, Gu Qingcheng heaved a sigh of relief.
On the bed, Yun Liuli almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
Didn't he seriously tell her that he wanted to treat her as his own daughter? Gu Qingcheng, this big liar!
Yun Liuli hugged the blanket and lay on the bed. She had made a lot of progress tonight!
She mustn't be too anxious, lest she give herself away!
Step by step, she would eventually be able to take down Gu Qingcheng!
Yun Liuli, who had just emerged victorious, was in a good mood. She hugged the blanket and fell asleep not long after.
When Gu Qingcheng came in after smoking, he saw that the young lady had already fallen asleep. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
After all, Yun Liuli was a "seven-year-old" young lady. It was just that she had a reaction because her thoughts weren't in the right place.
Gu Qingcheng wanted to pamper and dote on Yun Liuli, but he still had to watch his boundaries. He was an adult … and he wasn't that open and aboveboard toward Yun Liuli. He had to remind himself to watch his boundaries from time to time so that he could restrain himself.
Gu Qingcheng went to the bathroom to wash his face again. When he came back, he heard Yun Liuli asking him if he had finished smoking even though she was still in a daze.
He responded, and Yun Liuli lifted the blanket and said to Gu Qingcheng, "Then, Uncle Qingcheng, quickly sleep!"
Gu Qingcheng once again warned himself to watch his boundaries. After getting onto the bed, Yun Liuli hugged his arm, but he slept by the bed, maintaining a certain distance from her.
But perhaps because Yun Liuli was afraid of the cold at night, she found a source of heat and rolled into Gu Qingcheng's arms again. Not only that, but her limbs were also naughty. One of her hands was placed on Gu Qingcheng's chest, while her leg was placed on Gu Qingcheng's abdomen …
But Gu Qingcheng had already slept by the bed, to the point where there was no room for retreat.
He gently grabbed Yun Liuli's petite hand that was placed on his chest, wanting to move her arm away. However, he heard the young lady whimper softly. He didn't know what she was dreaming about, but she said softly in fear, "Don't abandon me …"
The fear in her voice made Gu Qingcheng's heart ache.
His body stiffened, unable to sleep well again that night.
Perhaps the more Gu Qingcheng restrained himself, afraid that he would have that kind of dream again, the easier it was for him to dream about it.
It was almost the exact same scene, the exact same dream. It was just that this time … Gu Qingcheng was even more unbridled and unrestrained in his dream.
Gu Qingcheng was startled awake by his dream once again. The sky was gradually turning bright.
He felt a certain part of his body getting sticky, and he was in an extremely pathetic state. He carefully moved Yun Liuli's arms and legs away, then took a change of clothes to the guest room to wash up. Only then did he feel much more refreshed.
In the kitchen, Gu Qingcheng poured himself a cup of coffee, his mind filled with his own dream.
Perhaps it was because Gu Qingcheng hadn't restrained his good intentions toward Yun Liuli during this period of time, so … the feelings he had for Yun Liuli were secretly fermenting, showing signs of breaking free from his rationality.
The aroma of coffee filled the entire living room. Gu Qingcheng poured himself a cup, but before he could drink it, he heard the bedroom door open.
Yun Liuli rubbed her eyes and walked out of the room. "Uncle Qingcheng …"
