Running all the way, Jiujiu's clothes had long become dirty and messy. Her originally white and tender little face was full of scratches from the treetops. Her clothes, which were not sturdy to begin with, had become streaks. She could go to the train station and beg as a little beggar without makeup. 1357924?
In the past few days, although Jiujiu had been frugal with her food, she still finished all the buns. No matter how much Jiujiu could endure, she was still so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back. Her stomach was burning with pain.
However, now she was on the main road, in the middle of nowhere. She couldn't even find a place to drink water, let alone eat. Jiujiu looked around and saw some green grass on the side of the road.
Although the grass was stained with dirt and looked particularly dirty, it could temporarily fill Jiujiu's stomach.
Jiujiu carefully pulled up the grass and wiped it on her tattered clothes. Then, she carefully put the grass leaf into her mouth and chewed.
The bitter taste with a faint fishy taste quickly spread in her mouth. Jiujiu, who had been spoiled by others, had never suffered like this. Almost subconsciously, she wanted to spit out the grass leaf in her mouth.
But now she was in the middle of nowhere. If she spit it out, there would be nothing to give her energy.
Jiujiu knew that the most important thing now was to survive. It was worth it to suffer.
Jiujiu found some edible grass on the side of the road and almost filled her stomach. Then, she continued to move forward.
The girl could find a job when she was 12 years old. As long as she went to the county, she would definitely be able to find a job.
In the past, when they were hurrying in the mountains, she didn't feel anything. However, there was no shelter on the main road and the sun was too strong. After a while, Jiujiu was dizzy from the sun. In addition, the girl's body was somewhat malnourished. Even if Jiujiu had begun to practice martial arts during this period of time, there was still no way to change the girl's weak constitution. Jiujiu didn't walk for long before she felt her vision turn black and fainted.
At this moment.
On the way back, Gu Cheng saw Jiujiu fainted on the ground and quickly asked the driver to stop the car.
Gu Cheng had been spoiled by his family since he was a child. He was a man of his word. Although the driver didn't want to stop the car, he had no choice but to do so when he thought of Gu Cheng's temper.
Not long after Gu Cheng got out of the car, he carried Jiujiu upstairs.
He had never seen this little girl before, but for some reason, the moment he saw her, Gu Cheng felt like crying.
Tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably. The corners of her mouth trembled and she almost cried out loud.
The driver saw Gu Cheng's sad face from the rearview mirror and hurriedly asked, "Young Master, are you okay?"
Gu Cheng only felt very uncomfortable in his heart and shook his head.
Only then did the driver drive off.
After a while, the driver heard Gu Cheng say, "Let's go to the hospital first. She has a fever."
When Jiujiu woke up, she saw a dazzling white. Her nose was filled with the strong smell of disinfectant with an imperceptible antiseptic. She had changed into a clean hospital gown and was lying on the soft hospital bed. There was an IV drip on the back of her hand. The transparent liquid was injected into her body little by little through the needle.
A boy with an unruly look was lying on the bed.
The boy's eyes were dark, and he seemed to be a little tired. He was snoring softly. Jiujiu moved her arm, and the boy woke up. He looked at Jiujiu almost reflexively. Seeing that Jiujiu had opened her eyes, the boy's eyes lit up with joy. The corner of his mouth cracked open, revealing a silly smile. "You're awake? My name is Gu Cheng. What's your name? "
Jiujiu blinked and looked at Gu Cheng with some confusion. Then she said slowly, "My name is Jiujiu."
"Jiujiu? Is that a nice name?" Gu Cheng looked at Jiujiu like an idiot and said, "Jiujiu, why did you faint on the side of the road? Where's your family?"
Gu Cheng's eyes showed a touch of coldness when he said the word "family". He thought of Jiujiu's tattered clothes yesterday and the doctor's report that Jiujiu's body was seriously weak and malnourished.
Gu Cheng was furious when he learned that Jiujiu's bone age was 12.
His cousin was only eight years old this year. She was served eggs and milk every day. She was white and chubby, as cute as a little bun.
However, Jiujiu was 12 years old. She was so skinny that she didn't even have enough to eat. Gu Cheng couldn't help but feel sorry for Jiujiu when he thought of her body that was so thin that only her ribs were left.
It was strange. Some people didn't know each other well even after knowing each other for a lifetime, but some people acted like they had known each other for a lifetime.
Gu Cheng and Jiujiu hadn't known each other for long, but for some reason, Gu Cheng felt that Jiujiu was very close to him.
Gu Cheng didn't hesitate to let his parents adopt Jiujiu after he learned that Jiujiu's grandmother had passed away and her relatives didn't want her anymore.
It didn't matter that she didn't have an ID card. In this era where everything depended on power and money, as long as you had money and power, what couldn't you do?
Gu Cheng was obviously bad-tempered and didn't pretend to be nice to anyone. However, when he saw Jiujiu, Gu Cheng was like a mouse that saw a cat. Gu Cheng saw that Jiujiu's eyes were so gentle that it was as if water could drip out of them.
As long as one was human and had eyes, one could see that Gu Cheng liked Jiujiu.
Gu Cheng's parents were a little unhappy that Gu Cheng liked Jiujiu. Their family had been in the army for generations. Gu Cheng's parents also had a political marriage. In this generation, they only had one child, Gu Cheng. Naturally, Gu Cheng's position in the family would be inherited by Gu Cheng. In order to maintain such power, they naturally needed to maintain it through marriage.
It didn't matter if they didn't have feelings for each other. It didn't matter if they didn't like each other. Everyone was like this. No one would criticize each other.
At worst, they could secretly raise a child by themselves in the future. Anyway, this was a secret in the circle.
However, they didn't expect that Gu Cheng would fall in love with Jiujiu. Gu Cheng liked Jiujiu, who had an unknown background and was likely to be a girl who ran away from the mountains.
Although Jiujiu was good-looking, in the eyes of Gu Cheng's parents, she wasn't qualified. Therefore, although they gave Jiujiu an ID card, it was an independent household register.
To put it bluntly, they still didn't like Jiujiu.
Jiujiu didn't care about Gu Cheng's inexplicable love and Gu Cheng's parents' dislike at all.
She didn't expect that Gu Cheng would take her out of the mountains by accident and even give her an ID card. Therefore, Jiujiu proposed to go to school to study.
Before the girl was 12 years old, she didn't go to school because she was afraid that her grandmother would die of exhaustion. When she was sent to her parents, her heartless parents didn't want her to go to school at all. In fact, the girl wanted to go to school.
