C1919 He Blamed Himself
Night always brings out the most fragile thing in one's heart, magnifying every fear in one's heart.
Huo Niannian and Gu Tingshen played with Nian Ci for a long time. They waited until Nian Ci was so tired that he could not open his eyes before carrying her back to the room.
This was the second night after Nian Ci drowned. Huo Niannian brought Nian Ci back to her and Gu Tingshen's room.
Although Nian Ci performed very well today, excluding the crying in the hospital in the morning, she could completely see the shadow of falling into the water. However, Huo Niannian felt that she could not let go of her worries. She was worried that NianCi would have nightmares. She was afraid that when Nianci woke up, she would not see her and Gu Tingshen. She was afraid that she would be in pain if she did not see them.
As long as she thought of Nianci's helpless and hopeless appearance, her heart would almost stop beating.
After placing Nian Ci on the bed, Huo Niannian got up and went to change her clothes. Suddenly, her movements stopped. She lowered her head and realized that it was Nian Ci who had been grabbing onto her clothes.
She thought that Nian Ci had woken up and just as she was about to coax her to continue sleeping, she heard Nian Ci's sleep talk. "Mother... Don't leave..."
Huo Niannian felt as if her heart was being stabbed by a huge long needle and it hurt badly.
Immediately after, she laid down beside Nian Ci and held him in her arms. She gently patted her back.
While comforting Nian Ci's emotions, Huo Niannian softly hummed a children's song.
Gradually, Nian Ci fell asleep.
Seeing this, Huo Niannian heaved a sigh of relief. She gently pulled the corner of her clothes out from Nian Ci's hands and quickly changed her clothes to wash up.
After she finished tidying up, Gu Tingshen also returned from the study.
Seeing Gu Tingshen, Huo Niannian immediately asked impatiently, "How is it?"
Huo Niannian anxiously stared into his eyes, even though Gu Tingshen did not tell her anything related to it. But she also knew that the possibility of it being an accident was too small. Plus, Gu Tingshen stayed in the study for a long time tonight. Huo Niannian was even more sure of her doubts.
Therefore, as soon as Gu Tingshen returned, she could not help but ask the question.
Huo Niannian pursed her lips. She could feel her heart beating like a drum. She was afraid to hear Zhou Tong's name from Gu Tingshen, but she also wanted to know from Gu Tingshen that it was not Zhou Tong... It was too complicated.
Gu Tingshen took all of her uneasiness into his eyes. He sighed lightly and pulled Huo Niannian into his arms.
His voice was very soft and had the power to comfort her. "That girl is not as simple as she looks."
Just this sentence made Huo Niannian's body stiffen.
Huo Niannian's face slowly lost its color. It was really Zhou Tong...
She bit her lower lip and her hands that were hugging Gu Tingshen's waist trembled.
She had always thought of Zhou Tong as Sister who needed to be taken care of. She had never been on guard against her. Why did Zhou Tong want to harm her compassion? Her eyes gradually became moist, and her hands gradually grabbed onto Gu Tingshen's clothes.
It was all because she did not know the person, did not know the person, did not meet the person, and treated the evil person as a good person. That was why she harmed her compassion!
Huo Niannian fell into deep self-blame. A huge sadness enveloped her.
Suddenly, her eyes were sore and painful, but she stubbornly refused to lower her head. She allowed her eyes to hold back her tears. At this moment, her mind was already in chaos. She clearly didn't want to think about it, but she still couldn't control herself. She couldn't control her own sad heart. His body trembled slightly, and his eyes finally couldn't control themselves. A string of tears rolled down his beautiful eyes. Finally, his eyelashes were soaked.
Gu Tingshen noticed her strange behavior, but he did not say anything. He just quietly hugged her, and patted her back with his big hand.
After knowing that there was suddenly a problem with the surveillance camera, Gu Tingshen knew that if he told Huo Niannian the truth, she would not be able to bear it and would blame herself too much.
It could be seen that his little wife liked this girl very much. Otherwise, she would not have invited her home.
But it was also because of this that Huo Niannian would feel even more pain.
A knife stabbed by a trusting person was often hundreds or thousands of times more severe than other people's injuries.2
