Chapter 871



871 Promise me one thing

Gu Xin stopped crying and Lu Zheng held her hand as they walked towards the swing.

Lu Yang’s house also had a swing that could fit two people. Usually, when Gu Xin and Gu si came over to play, they loved to sit on the swing.

Lu Zheng was taller than the two girls. After he sat down, he steadied the swing and took out his handkerchief. He turned to the side and wiped Gu Xin’s tears, ” “If you keep crying, you’ll become a little cat.”

Gu Xin pursed her lips and looked at him without saying a word.

Lu Zheng wiped her tears and pinched her nose. “The next time you don’t want me to do anything, just talk to me properly. You can even yell at me, don’t cry. I don’t know what to do when you cry. I can’t use a candy to coax you. Didn’t you tell me last time that you’re a big girl and that the way you coax children doesn’t work on you?”

Gu Xin: ” my sister said that candy can replenish energy. I shouted at you, cried, and ran away just now. I’ve used up all my energy. I want to eat candy.

Lu Zheng smiled helplessly. He wanted to go back to his room to get some candy to coax his lady, but he saw the little lady carrying a bulging bag, so he took it.

He didn’t like to eat sugar, but his grandmother and Gu Xin loved it. So, there was no shortage of sugar at home.

He was afraid that the little girl would run away after he went to get the candy, so he used the little girl’s candy to coax her.

The candies in Gu Xin’s bag were all made by Gu Nian. Gu Nian did not like sweet food, but she liked her sister. Therefore, she had packed a lot of candies for Gu Xin and Gu si.

The two of them sat on the swing and ate candy, but no one spoke.

After a while, Gu Xin suddenly asked, ” “Brother Yuanyuan, you should go!”

“Didn’t you forbid me from going?” Then I won’t go. I’ll accompany Xinxin to farm and earn money.”

Gu Xin shook her head, ” Her father had said that a man should have his own ambitions. Although farming to earn money is also an ambition, brother Yuanyuan, you shouldn’t be such a person. I can’t bear to leave brother Yuanyuan, but there are always banquets that don’t end. Every separation is for a better reunion next time! So, brother Yuanyuan, you should go!”

Lu Zheng’s heart ached.

He couldn’t wait for Gu Xin to tell him not to go and throw a tantrum.

His heart ached for the sensible Xinxin. In her past life, Xinxin was also so sensible.

Before he could even finish feeling sorry for her, Gu Xin’s eyes moved, ” “But, brother Yuanyuan, can you do me a favor?”

“What do you want me to do?” Lu Zheng asked.

Gu Xin tilted her head. just agree to it.

Lu Zheng’s heart ached for Xinxin, and he nodded without hesitation. “Alright,” he said.

Gu Xin’s eyes lit up, ” brother Yuan Yuan, go and tell my grandparents. They’ll bring me and my sister to Beijing! We haven’t seen our parents in a long time. I miss them so much!”

“Zhenzhen, Grandpa and Grandma Gu are leaving at the end of the month,” Lu Zheng said.

Gu Xin shook her head. we’ll leave at the end of the month. By the time we reach the capital, you won’t be around anymore.

After he finished, he pulled on Lu Zheng’s arm and shook it from side to side. “Brother Yuanyuan, just promise me! I really miss father and mother, and I really want to spend more time with you. It’ll take three years for us to meet again. Don’t you want to stay with us for a while longer?”

“Yes,” replied Lu Zheng. I’ll tell Grandpa and Grandma Gu later. You! AI!”

Lu Zheng smiled and sighed. He really didn’t know what to do with Xinxin.

If he wanted to take Xinxin and niannian to the capital, he had to take the water route. He would let Bai Yi and the others take the land route to deal with those people.
