Chapter 19: Connected Souls

I just sat and watched Ziqing and Gu Youning bicker for half an hour.Gu Youning sat on the chair upside down, and kept teasing Ziqing with his hands on the back of the chair. Ziqing was not in a hurry, and a reply could make the smile on Gu Youning's face stiff for more than three seconds.I didn't dare to say a word, I just felt sleepy and my eyes were about to close.Ziqing glanced at my face from the corner of her eye, then stood up from her seat.

"I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep." She said, and walked to her room.

"Ziqing..." I quickly stood up and followed her into the room.

"What are you doing?" After entering the room, Ziqing turned to look at me.

I looked at her eyes that were as pale as a lake, and suddenly I didn't know what I was going to do, so I followed in habitually.

"I...I don't know either."

"Gu Youning is a guest, so it's not good for you to leave her in the living room like this." Ziqing approached me and rubbed my hair: "Go to bed early if you're sleepy."

"Well, okay..." I responded, turned around and was about to leave.But when I took two steps, Ziqing grabbed my wrist, and I felt that with a force from her hand, I was pulled back into her arms, and I was hugged tightly head-on.

"Ziqing...?"

Ziqing buried her face in the crook of my neck, and I reached out to hug her, and suddenly felt a pain in my heart, I don't know why.

I don't know how long it took before Ziqing's hand slowly let go, and I saw her raise her head and show a faint smile: "It's okay for a younger sister to act like a spoiled child once in a while."

I laughed when I heard the word "coquettish", and raised my hand pretending to touch Ziqing's head.

"Of course nothing."

I went out and wanted to get Gu Youning toiletries, but found that she had already chatted with my parents.The three of them sat in the living room happily, and her hands were full of delicious food stuffed by my parents.Seeing me coming out, Gu Youning reached out to greet me: "Ziyan, come and eat together."

I squinted at her: "This seems to be my home."

"It doesn't matter, you don't need to be so clear, godfather and godmother said, it's like my own home here." Gu Youning smiled.

"..." The godfather and godmother recognized it, it's a bit too...

I was thinking about it in my heart, but I finally didn't say it.

"Ziqing, this is the classmate you have been worrying about all day, right? She is the president of the student council, and she is also beautiful and capable. You should learn more from her." Mom smiled from ear to ear. "Look at this kid You Ning, how sensible he is."

"..." I felt my face turn red. Although I had already told Gu Youning that I was worried about her, but now that these words came from my mother's mouth, I always felt a little confused and embarrassed.I looked at Gu Youning out of the corner of my eye, but fortunately she looked as usual, she didn't seem to pay special attention to that sentence.

"Youning, your parents are both policemen?" Dad was not idle, and had a lively chat with Gu Youning.

"um, yes."

"Then why didn't you go to the police academy? What's your major? After graduating from college, you..." I stood aside and listened silently, feeling like my dad was doing a household registration check.

"I major in economics and management. I plan to work in this field after graduating from university. I don't plan to enter the police system." Gu Youning answered truthfully.

"Why don't you want to do this?" Dad continued to ask.

Gu Youning laughed after hearing this, and replied: "I want... to spend more time with my family. If she always stays at home by herself, I don't feel at ease."

"What's there to worry about a man? Are you worried that he won't be able to bear the loneliness?" Dad drank two glasses at the dinner table, feeling that the topic was seriously off course.

I hurried forward to stop her and said, "Mom and Dad, it's already so late, and Gu Youning is tired after sitting on the train all night, why don't you let her rest first."

"Okay, don't disturb your rest. You young people have a lot of topics to talk about, and you can't chat with old guys like us." Dad also stood up from the sofa and was about to go back to the room.

"No, it's a pleasure chatting with godfather and godmother." Gu Youning replied.

"Then let's continue tomorrow." I saw my mother covering her mouth and laughing, and I felt a bad premonition in my heart. Sure enough, her next sentence was: "I will tell you about Ziyan's childhood. It will be more interesting."

"Mom! You and Dad go to bed!" I blushed and pulled Gu Youning away, feeling like my heart was about to jump out.

While brushing his teeth, Gu Youning bumped into me with his arm.

"What happened to you when you were a child?"

"It's okay." I ignored her and continued brushing my teeth.

Gu Youning didn't stop, but continued to bump into me and asked, "What was Ziqing like when he was a child?"

"She..." As soon as Ziqing was mentioned, my brushing speed slowed down. "She was very naughty when she was a child. She liked to catch bugs and scare me... she liked to pretend to be a ghost to scare me... she liked to grab my cake and eat it... she liked to pinch my face... she even broke potted plants and blamed me on my head..."

"It doesn't seem to be a good thing." Gu Youning listened, laughing so much that he almost choked on the toothpaste.

"Yes, I cry every time." After rinsing my mouth and washing my face, I leaned against the door of the bathroom and chatted with Gu Youning: "Ziqing didn't let me cry, so he stuffed a steamed bun in my mouth, and I ended up crying." I cried even harder."

"It seems that Ziqing didn't like you very much when she was a child." Gu Youning also washed up, and entered the room with me, she leaned against the table and watched me make the bed and get the quilt, busy back and forth.

I took a new pillow out of the cabinet, patted it on, covered it with a pillow cover, and said, "Although Ziqing always bullies me, I still like her very much, and I like to be by her side...to take care of her."

Gu Youning listened, then narrowed her eyes and walked to the bed, threw me on the bed.I exclaimed, and quickly covered my mouth.Gu Youning's soft hair hung down on both sides of my cheeks, and I saw her bright facial features getting closer and closer to me, and I was about to kiss her.

"What... what are you doing!" Gu Youning was pushed to the ground by me, and I didn't know where the knock was.

"Hiss... daughter-in-law, you are too cruel... You will regret it for the rest of your life if you beat me up." Gu Youning sat up from the ground covering his head, I was so scared that my face turned pale, I hurried over to have a look, and found that the forehead was blue .

"You Ning... are you okay...? I'll give you medicine..." I was a little nervous and was about to run to get medicine from the medicine cabinet in the living room, but was hugged by Gu Youning.

Pointing to the bruise on her forehead, she said, "Give me a kiss, and I'll make sure you'll be fine the next morning."

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?" I was so distressed that I felt like I was going to cry for nothing again.

"Really." Gu Youning said seriously. "Have I lied to you?"

"No……"

"Then will you kiss me?" Gu Youning looked up at me, her eyes were charming and seductive, which made my heart itch.

I lowered my head stiffly, closed my eyes and kissed her forehead.Her bruises were hot, and the tip of her nose was mixed with Gu Youning's unique sweet breath.

"I also lost my arms and legs... my butt hurts too..."

"Smelly rascal!!!" Listening to Gu Youning's words, I felt my blushing was bleeding, I pushed her away and rolled up the quilt to close my eyes.

Gu Youning also went to bed, and hugged me with the quilt: "Who is a hooligan? I didn't let you kiss me, I wanted you to massage me."

"Don't press!" I lay motionless and closed my eyes.

"Hey...my waist...his...it hurts so much." Gu Youning let go of his hand, and turned over while supporting his waist. "I don't know if I can get up tomorrow morning... Hey, my legs..."

I gritted my teeth and lifted the quilt to sit up, and looked at Gu Youning with a smile: "President, how about I massage you? Besides the waist and legs?"

"There are still arms..." Gu Youning said boldly.

"No problem." I took a deep breath and twisted Gu Youning's waist vigorously.Gu Youning gasped in pain immediately, and seeing her gasping expression, I fell down on the bed laughing, and felt my stomach hurt from laughing.

"Okay, you... murder your husband, you..." Gu Youning calmed down, and when he rolled up, he scratched my itch. I was already laughing, but now it was even more itchy, and I almost died.

"Hahaha...haha...the original...forgive me, President..." I cried and begged for mercy, but Gu Youning stopped when he saw that my eyes were really dim with tears.

"Do you know I'm good? Be more honest in the future." Gu Youning was also tired, lying on the bed panting.

"Hmph." I wrapped myself in the quilt and closed my eyes, feeling really sleepy.

"Good night, Youning."

"OK, good night."

I thought I would be able to sleep until dawn, but when I was half asleep, I felt a pain in my heart and couldn't fall asleep.I opened my eyes and looked at my phone, only to find that it was not four o'clock in the morning.I sat up from the bed, clutching my heart, and it was a little difficult to breathe.I got off the bed in the dark, and wanted to go to the living room to drink some water, but when I just went out, I saw a person standing by the window of the living room.

At that moment, my legs were weak and I almost sat on the ground.But because of my excellent night vision ability, the next moment I realized that the person standing by the window was not a phantom...it was Ziqing.

She stood, staring at the moonlight outside the window in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Ziqing...?" He walked up to her and called her name.

Ziqing obviously didn't notice me and was taken aback by my sudden appearance.

"Why don't you sleep? Have a nightmare?" I saw the surprise flash in her eyes, and then she returned to calm.

"No, I just feel thirsty, get up and drink some water." I squeezed my heart subconsciously.

Ziqing raised his eyebrows slightly: "Tell the truth."

"I feel a little pain in my heart..." Since I was a child, I couldn't escape Ziqing's sharp eyes, and I couldn't hide all the lies from her.

"My heart hurts?" Ziqing frowned: "How long has it been? When did it start?"

"Not many times..." I thought about it carefully. "The first time was when you came to celebrate my birthday...the second time was when you just hugged me and acted like a baby...the third time...is now..."

As Ziqing listened, her deep pupils gradually tightened.

"Does it still hurt?"

"It's a bit..." I quietly felt it: "It's much better than before."

I said, and then I was hugged by Ziqing, and I heard her continue to say in my ear: "What now?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore..." I opened my eyes wide in surprise, feeling amazing. "I don't feel pain anymore! Ziqing!"

"Because I don't hurt anymore." She said in my ear.
