happy match

It was a small sobbing sound.

The sobbing sound was very low, if it wasn't for the silence of the night, it probably wouldn't have reached Ye Qinglan's ears.

It was dark outside the window, and the house was also dark.

Ye Qinglan put on some clothes casually, fumbled for her shoes, and then quietly opened the door.All these movements were so slight that the sleeping Ruixue didn't notice it.

This room is very close to Gu Xiyu's room, just a few steps away.The closer you got, the more obvious the sobbing sound was, and the trembling voice was full of helplessness and fear.Ye Qinglan was sure that the crying person was Gu Xiyu.

Mo Xiang, who was on duty at night, was obviously also woken up, and she was coaxing Gu Xiyu in a low voice: "Miss, what's wrong with you, why are you crying after sleeping well?"

Gu Xiyu didn't say anything, just continued to sob.

Mo Xiang was anxious and helpless, coaxing for a long time had no effect, and she almost burst into tears.At this moment, I suddenly heard two light knocks on the door.

Mo Xiang was startled, and asked without thinking: "Who?" Who could be outside the door in the middle of the night?

A calm and gentle girl's voice sounded quietly: "Mo Xiang, it's me."

It's Ye Qinglan!Mo Xiang unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried to open the door.Ye Qinglan didn't have time to put on her clothes in a hurry, so she draped them on her body indiscriminately. With her white jacket and long hair, she looked like a female ghost in this dark night.

Although Mo Xiang was prepared, she couldn't help being taken aback: "Miss Biao, why are you here?"

Ye Qinglan replied simply: "I heard Cousin Xiyu crying, so I came here." While talking, she entered the room lightly.

Gu Xiyu curled up and hid in the corner of the bed.His slender shoulders shrugged slightly, and he buried his head deeply in his knees, crying intermittently.It makes people feel pitiful to look at.

"Cousin Xiyu, it's me." Ye Qinglan sat by the bed and said softly, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Gu Xiyu raised her head with sobs, her pale pretty face was full of tears, her expression was hesitant and helpless.

Ye Qinglan's heart ached, she couldn't help leaning over, and wiped away the tears from Gu Xiyu's face with her hand: "Don't be afraid. It's just a nightmare. Isn't it good now?"

The familiar warm breath came slowly, soothing Gu Xiyu's panic and helplessness, and her crying gradually stopped.But he was no longer sleepy, and only looked at Ye Qinglan pitifully and helplessly with his big dark eyes.

Mo Xiang said in a low voice: "Once Miss has a nightmare, she refuses to sleep that night."

There have been many times like this, and every time she accompanied Gu Xiyu until dawn.only.Every time no matter how she coaxed her, Gu Xiyu would cry for a long time.Unexpectedly, Ye Qinglan's few light words made Gu Xiyu quiet down.

At this moment, it is simply impossible to say that she is not jealous of Ye Qinglan at all!

She has served Gu Xiyu for four full years, and she feels that she knows Gu Xiyu's temperament like the back of her hand.He couldn't help but feel that his weight in Gu Xiyu's heart was slightly higher than others.But since Ye Qinglan appeared, the person Gu Xiyu trusts and relies on the most.It's not her anymore...

Ye Qinglan couldn't be bothered to worry about Mo Xiang at this moment, so she casually ordered: "Okay, you go back to your room and sleep first! It's fine if I stay here with Cousin Xiyu."

Mo Xiang was about to say something, but she fell silent after seeing Gu Xiyu's gradually calm face, and said yes in a low voice, then backed out, and closed the door behind her.

There was only one candlestick in the room.Although bright, it is very soft.Through a thin gauze curtain.The light inevitably dimmed a bit.Gu Xiyu was still huddled at the corner of the bed, not moving.

Ye Qinglan thought for a while, then took off her embroidered shoes, and then sat on another corner of the bed, facing Gu Xiyu at a distance.

The tears on Gu Xiyu's face were still wet, and there was still the lingering fear of a nightmare in his eyes.

Ye Qinglan secretly guessed what kind of nightmare she had, but she didn't make a sound, she just quietly accompanied Gu Xiyu.

With a familiar person by her side, Gu Xiyu's mood gradually calmed down.It took a long time before he opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "I dreamed that I fell into the water."

The boundless water submerged her, and there was darkness and coldness in front of her eyes. The strange but familiar girl on the bank took a step back in a hurry, and then ran away like that.She screamed and screamed in panic in the water, but no one came to save her.Then, she struggled and sank to the bottom of the water...

Gu Xiyu spoke upside down intermittently, her eyes were full of fear, and her hands trembled unconsciously.

Ye Qinglan listened carefully, a series of thoughts flashed through her mind.

The girl Gu Xiyu was talking about must be Shen Qiuyu when she was young.No wonder Gu Xiyu hated Shen Qiuyu so much, it turned out that there was such a reason behind it.

Such a scene gradually emerged in her mind.

On that warm spring afternoon, Gu Xiyu, who was only six years old, slipped quietly to the pool to play in the water.While having fun, Shen Qiuyu, the cousin who lives in the house, came over.Seeing that Gu Xiyu was playing happily with her head down, she deliberately tiptoed over, and then patted Gu Xiyu's shoulder hard.

Caught off guard, Gu Xiyu was startled, slipped and fell into the pool.She shouted for help in panic, her hands and feet fluttered wildly, but she sank quickly.

Shen Qiuyu accidentally got into trouble, her pretty face turned pale.At this moment, a series of thoughts flashed through her mind, and finally ran away cruelly.

Fortunately, a gardener passed by at that time, and seeing something strange in the pool, he knew that someone had fallen into the water, so he jumped in.He rescued the dying Gu Xiyu from the pool.

At this time, Gu Xiyu's face was as pale as paper, her breathing was extremely weak, and her life was in danger.Mrs. Zheng, who rushed over after hearing the news, just took one look at Gu Xiyu and burst into tears, then passed out.Fortunately, the doctor rescued him properly, after squeezing out all the water in Gu Xiyu's stomach, he poured some life-saving decoction.After recuperating for nearly half a year, Gu Xiyu's little life was finally snatched back from Lord Yan's hands.

But since then, Gu Xiyu's originally quiet and introverted personality has become more silent and withdrawn, gradually suffering from autism, unwilling to communicate with others, and even more afraid of crowded places.This nightmare of falling into the water is even more intrusive from time to time, making Gu Xiyu unable to sleep peacefully...

Based on Gu Xiyu's few words, Ye Qinglan deduced everything that happened that year.But there was one thing that I really couldn't figure out, so I couldn't help asking: "Shen Qiuyu caused you to fall into the water back then, and you were not punished afterwards?"

Madam Zheng loves Gu Xiyu so much, how could she easily let go of the culprit who caused Gu Xiyu to fall into the water and flee in a panic?Even if it is the Sun family, it is impossible to protect Shen Qiuyu!

Gu Xiyu lowered her eyelids and remained silent for a long while.

Ye Qinglan immediately guessed that there must be other inside stories, thought for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Didn't you tell others that Shen Qiuyu caused you to fall into the water?"

Gu Xiyu nodded slightly.

Why?Ye Qinglan fixedly looked into Gu Xiyu's eyes, in those dark eyes, there was an unfathomable sadness...

"Your elder brother is begging you, don't tell anyone about this. Right?" Ye Qinglan opened her mouth slowly, not without surprise seeing Gu Xiyu's eyes widen in astonishment.

There is no need to ask any more questions, Gu Xiyu's reaction has completely proved that she has already guessed the truth.

Gu Xinian and Shen Qiuyu fell in love when they were young, and they were already childhood sweethearts at that time.When such a thing happened, Shen Qiuyu, who was only thirteen years old, must have been at a loss, regretful and afraid.If this matter is found out by others, she, the chief culprit, will definitely be expelled from Dingguo Mansion.She and Gu Xinian also have no future forever.She cried bitterly in front of Gu Xinian, blaming herself endlessly.

Although Gu Xinian also felt sorry for his sister, he couldn't let go of Shen Qiuyu, so after hesitating for a while, he went to Gu Xiyu's room alone.I beg Gu Xiyu who just woke up not to tell anyone about this.

Gu Xiyu, who has always relied on and trusted her elder brother, agreed to keep this secret under the plea of ​​Gu Xinian and Chen Ken.No matter how Mrs. Zheng asked, she only said that she fell into the pool by accident, and she never mentioned Shen Qiuyu's name.

This secret has always been hidden in Gu Xiyu's heart.

Thinking of this, an uncontrollable anger welled up in Ye Qinglan's heart.

Shen Qiuyu looks beautiful and attractive, but what she does is really not that good.It's understandable to accidentally get into trouble, but it's really embarrassing to run away in a panic.If the gardener hadn't passed by at that time, Gu Xiyu's little life would have been completely lost.When something happened, she didn't want to regret it, but ran to Gu Xinian and cried.Teenagers in love are naturally impulsive and passionate, so they agreed to Shen Qiuyu's request.

What a selfish woman!

Gu Xinian was too confused, because of Shen Qiuyu, he deeply hurt Gu Xiyu without realizing it.In Gu Xiyu's young heart, the most beloved elder brother regards other women as more important.For the fragile and sensitive Gu Xiyu, this is probably not much better than falling into the water.

Gu Xinian's pity and love for Gu Xiyu in the future is probably partly due to guilt and self-blame, and he wants to make up for Gu Xiyu!

Ye Qinglan suppressed the anger in her heart, and gently comforted Gu Xiyu: "Okay, this is all in the past. Aren't you doing well now? Don't think about it in the future. Fortunately, your elder brother didn't marry her, otherwise, such a woman It's really a headache to be your sister-in-law."

Gu Xiyu's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and suddenly said something: "But, brother is very sad."

She really didn't like Shen Qiuyu very much, but she was the beloved woman of her elder brother. Even if she didn't like her, she still hoped that her elder brother would be happy.Ever since Shen Qiuyu married the prince, the elder brother never had a real smile on his face.She looked so distressed, and then she hated Shen Qiuyu even more.

Ye Qinglan pondered for a moment, and finally asked the biggest question in her heart: "I've always been curious about one thing. Wasn't Shen Qiuyu and your elder brother lovers back then? Why did they marry the prince later?" (To be continued .If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
