Li Guanqi asked, blinking his eyes.
"Um."
Gu Ruoxue nodded lightly, her eyes always stayed on the fairy tale book, never moving away for a moment.
"Can you tell me about it?"
Li Guanqi continued speaking with an expectant look on his face, and even had two dimples on his face when he smiled.
Gu Ruoxue turned her head and glanced at Li Guanqi. Seeing those bright and clear eyes and the two dimples on her cheeks, she suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart. She pursed her lips, then moved her eyes to the book and said, "If you want to hear it, I'll tell you."
Gu Ruoxue's voice was hoarse, but it sounded nice.
This made Li Guanqi's eyes light up slightly, and he quickly said: "Well, I want to hear your story."
Gu Ruoxue glanced at Li Guanqi, then returned her gaze to the fairy tale book again, and slowly spoke, telling the story in a gentle and slow pace.
At this time, Li Zhaozhao also came over with an ice cream. Li Guanqi hurriedly took the ice cream and started eating it. While eating, he listened to Gu Ruoxue telling stories beside him. He really enjoyed it.
Li Zhaozhao also stood by quietly, watching Li Guanqi's eating show with a smile on her face.
But soon, several boys from a distance came over and started chatting with Li Zhaozhao.
However, Li Zhaozhao wanted to refuse directly, but out of politeness, she responded with a smile. However, when she turned around again, she found that Li Guanqi was gone.
"Where is she?"
Li Zhaozhao quickly looked around, a look of worry flashing across her face.
"Over there."
Gu Ruoxue pointed to the dessert area and said, "She finished her ice cream and went straight over there."
Li Zhaozhao looked in the direction Gu Ruoxue pointed, and sure enough, she saw Li Guanqi holding a small stool and slowly trying to take the desserts from the small plates in the dessert area.
This frightened her so much that she rushed over, picked her up from the stool, and shouted hurriedly: "Tell me what you want to eat, you can't get it yourself!"
"Hmm! I'm hungry..."
Li Guanqi grumbled aggrievedly.
Li Zhaozhao took a look and saw that the label on the plate was "Chocolate with Liquor Filling". This made her eyes widen in horror. She grabbed Li Guanqi and wanted to take her to wash her hands.
"I want to eat this."
“You can’t eat it!”
"I want to eat this!"
But Li Guanqi said stubbornly, her tender and fair little face flushed red with a stubborn look, as if she would cry in front of her if she didn't give her food.
Li Guanqi's stubbornness also gave Li Zhaozhao a headache, and she didn't know what to do.
"Sister...I really want to eat..."
Li Guanqi stared at Li Zhaozhao with tears in his eyes.
But Li Zhaozhao shook his head firmly and said, "If you do this again, I will go and call my uncle over!"
Her threats worked.
Li Guanqi immediately restrained his expression, looked at her unwillingly, and finally lowered his head, with tears faintly flashing in his eyes, as if the next tear would fall.
Soon, after washing their hands, the sisters returned to sit next to Gu Ruoxue.
This time, Li Zhaozhao stared at Li Guanqi closely, as if she was afraid that Li Guanqi would disappear under her nose again.
Soon, the banquet was over.
After the two of them returned home in the car, Li Guanqi ran straight to his yard.
Li Zhaozhao was very confused, because Guanqi was usually very sticky to her, but today he actually left on his own initiative?
"has a problem!"
Thinking of this, she immediately chased after him.
But when she caught up, she found that Li Guanqi had his back to her, and then he took out a candy from his pocket, opened it, and stuffed it into his mouth...
This left her no time to stop him, and she could only watch Li Guanqi stuff the candy into his mouth.
"Spit it out!"
Li Zhaozhao's face became anxious, and she quickly grabbed her shoulders and shook her, hoping to make Li Guanqi vomit.
However, Li Guanqi couldn't hear anything and continued chewing.
Li Guanqi's action made Li Zhaozhao panic, and she hurried forward to pinch her mouth, but it was too late.
After she put the candy down her throat, her whole face wrinkled and her complexion turned red. Then she started coughing and sneezing violently, and even a visibly red rash appeared on her body.
“Uncle, Aunt!!”
Li Zhao hurriedly called for help upstairs, very anxious, and three figures walked up from the stairs. They were Li Guanqi's parents and Li Guanqi's grandfather. The three of them suddenly changed color and rushed downstairs to send him to the hospital.
The adults left, leaving Li Zhaozhao alone.
Li Zhaozhao felt very guilty.
Although no one would blame her, she felt very upset and thought it was her fault.
If I had been tougher at the time and asked those boys to go away, Li Guanqi would not have stolen the chocolate.
However, there is no regret medicine in this world. She can only pray that Li Guanqi is safe and sound.
……
The next day.
Bad news came.
Li Guanqi suffered from idiopathic facial nerve paralysis due to eating allergic foods, and it was very serious. It caused transverse damage to the facial nerve and is very difficult to repair.
These days, the usually lively Li Guanqi now has almost no expression ability.
Li Zhaozhao was extremely sad and wished she could bear this torture for Li Guanqi. There was no medical technology available today that could directly cure the disease. She had no choice but to feel sad and blame herself.
Acupuncture can cure the disease, but it is extremely slow and the effect is minimal. It takes years of acupuncture to slowly recover.
Moreover, facial paralysis is also very burdensome for a growing child.
Because Li Guanqi has lost his former agility and friendliness, and is left with only an expressionless face.
Because of this, she became alienated from her peers, and many people's previous enthusiasm and friendliness towards her disappeared without a trace. After all, no one would like to play with someone who has a sour face every day.
This was undoubtedly a huge shock to Li Guanqi, who was eager to build interpersonal relationships at school.
Some people even called her a weirdo behind her back.
Some even use her physical defects to ridicule and mock her.
This made Li Guanqi even more sad.
From then on, she began to become withdrawn, sensitive, and even a little autistic.
Because of this, she had to remain silent, began to keep company with books, and began to pay attention to her inner world, looking for her own value and meaning.
As time went by, she changed from her deliberate indifference to a gradual subconscious indifference. From then on, she began to gradually wrap herself up, not talking to anyone, and even rarely spoke to her deskmate.
By the time she was in middle school, her presence had become so low that it was barely noticeable, precisely because she lived completely in her own world.
In high school, she sat alone in the corner of the classroom, looking at the freshmen who were isolated in the class.
Su Cheng.
See Su Cheng.
Her thoughts seemed to have returned to her childhood. At that time, at the beginning, her heart was always full of hope, expecting to have a warm embrace to rely on, but until now, she found that all this was just wishful thinking.
She didn't have any special feelings about Su Cheng being isolated. After all, what Su Cheng did was indeed quite ridiculous.
Well, a confession maniac.
Just when she thought that she would not have any contact with this boy, that very night, a stranger suddenly appeared in the middle of the night and confessed his love to her.
It was the first time she encountered such a situation. She was a little scared, but also a little expectant, so she chatted for a while.
He said he was Eddie in the class.
He said he had noticed her for a long time and liked her very much.
This made Li Guanqi fall into deep thought.
"Can he see me?"
But before she could reject this joking start of love, she saw another message from Eddie: "The message just now was sent to you by Su Cheng, the confession maniac, who snatched my phone. It wasn't sent by me!"
This confused her greatly.
Su Cheng?
Is this the Su Cheng who confessed his feelings crazily at the beginning of the school year?
"That's consistent with his behavior."
Li Guanqi couldn't help but shook his head, without any doubt. After all, Su Cheng's behavior was indeed consistent with what he was doing now, and this person was not worth her thinking too much.
After all, even she, a little-known person in the class, had heard a little about what had happened to the freshmen in the past few days.
Although she is basically invisible in her class, she still attaches great importance to class honor.
Besides, this Eddie had never talked to her.
Couldn't even detect her existence.
How about attention and liking?
She deleted this Eddie and put the matter behind her.
Little did she know that it was this piece of news that marked the turning point in her destiny, which led to earth-shaking changes in her life.
..........................................
the next day.
All the girls in the class began to attack Su Cheng.
This situation made Li Guanqi speechless.
This Su Cheng actually confessed to everyone in the class!
This made her feel ridiculous!
What's even more ridiculous is that this incident soon ushered in a shocking reversal. Thanks to Ji Qingyi's arrival, we learned that this was a play directed and acted by Eddie himself.
Then he directed all his anger at Eddie.
At this time, Li Guanqi also misunderstood Su Cheng.
She also chose to stand up.
She never communicates with the outside world, but Li Guanqi, who lives in her own inner world, stood up by accident in this incident!
because--
She was also a victim and also misunderstood Su Cheng.
It was this time that she stood up and began to pay attention to outsiders for the first time from a taciturn person who was unwilling to communicate with anyone and didn't care about anything.
It was this 'confession maniac'.
Su Cheng.
..............................
a few days later.
She met her destiny on the lawn.
She was reading a book at the time, and Su Cheng was sitting next to her, eating and speaking in obscure and difficult to understand words.
Li Guanqi waited until he finished his lunch, and for some unknown reason, he handed him one in time.
Su Cheng took the paper and thanked him before he realized what was going on.
Then, the two looked at each other for a second.
Finally, Su Cheng was shocked.
